He was the chairman of a wedding I attended many years back, before Abacha's coup.

Gen Sani Abacha used him eyes see shege then to the extent of making him cry publicly on national TV only for Abacha to give him white handkerchief again to wipe his years.

R. I. P Lt- General Diya.

Lies, wasn't on National TV

AlMustapha secretly recorded the video and made it public at Oputa panel.

He held UK + Nigeria for 3 years with bare hands. That's what it means to be a General.
He got his General by war and not politics.
We have fought war and know it and can improve. Your people don't know it.

It is better to rebel and runaway than to go on your knees and beg your juniors, then on National Tv to beg your Master I will rather disguise and abscond

Yeah, you guys are right. Ojukwu was also a coward as far as the definitions goes. undecided

Maybe Nigerians generally are cowards. That is why the government can decide to squeeze the life out of her citizens and everyone will keep mute. undecided
Naaah in a war you either lose or win but when you lose never allow your enemy to capture you, if you cannot abscond you commit suicide. Ojukwu rebelled and ranaway. Remember Trump told McCain he wasn't smart that was why he was captured. Even the Nazis ranaway when the war wasn't in their favor. But to beg on your knees on National TV is a shame, even Mamman Vasta couldn't do it and he took the bullet like a man after several attempts to escape didn't work

He never begged, there was a negotiation between Shagari and Ojukwu
Ojukwu wept and begged for forgiveness. https://www.nairaland.com/6911492/believe-denis-ukume-ojukwu-wept

To K25, yom2, Kenny9857, vatod, Naz34, Ilefoaye, Coputa, Zezco, Golan007, Elsudani and other Yorubas who might quote me later, Oladipo Diya cried on national TV with catarrh running down his nose like a little baby.

Oladipo Diya satisfies the definition of a coward.

A coward is a person who is contemptibly lacking in the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things.(Noun)

excessively afraid of danger or pain. (Adjective).

If you guys are lacking in English comprehension, that is not my problem.

If you like Insult Igbos, i don't remember saying I'm one. grin

How was it a foolish fight. When people brought a fight to your house, so you should just stay and watch them annihilate the entire of your clan. It's only a fool will watch. We defended ourselves and this attitude of heroism has been passed down from generations to the present generation.
The reason igbo don't fear anyone or anywhere in the world. They go and conquer.
Ojukwu alone funded the war.
Now if it happens again, though we don't want that. But ibos are wealthier and in all parts of the world. We have enough people that can fund whatever weapons we would need all around the world. So if we want to flatten Nigeria into a desert it won't take us a year.
So make una mind una self.

Tell that to the 3 million souls that died, and oh remind them that the instigator of the war left them in the hands of the enemies,who saw compassion on fellow humans and integrated them back into the union,and if you feeling like laying down innocent souls again we are always ready.

The man who betrayed his kinman-MKO to become Abacha’s VP…He was later framed up by Abacha and Mustapha in a fake coup… when he opposed Abacha’s bid to transition to a democratically-elected president.

Most Nigerians only care about injustice when it’s done to them.
