thank God for wonderful people like u on nairaland. If not that's how many would have fallen for the OPs deceitful thread

OP would not tell you that it wasn't Awolowo that caused the starvation and death of Ibo children, but Gowon and ojukwu especially Ojukwu.

001Lagos:

It's now awolowo that developed Lagos it's no longer Tinubu?

Why is Lagos that enjoys federal government support because of it's former capital territory status the only state yorubas boast with among the states in south west? Una dey shame of other yorubas states abi?
.

Most of you immigrants aren't even Lagos indigines. You migrated to Lagos from Osun and Ogun state like the Hausas and some Igbos .

Chinedu from Abakaliki. You are highly ignorant. 😂😂

There was Lagos mainland which was part of Western region and there was Lagos Island which was under the administration of the earlier Nigerian government of that time.

In other words, this picture was in Calabar? Gowon went to Calabar to release Awolowo who was still wearing his prison uniform

You guys are funny

At the time the Video was taken Ojukwu was still in hiding from the Hausa Soldiers in Enugu

It was Gowon who arranged the Airplane that took Awolowo to Lagos

OhuDealer:


Ohu rest abeg .

Your dumb papa and his papa before him forgot to raise you properly. I may have to do them the favor.

OhuDealer:




Lolz

Awolowo was set free the minute Calabar was liberated from Biafra and your Biafran orc army chased away.

But can you explain why you are villifing Awolowo after regurgitating the lie that the Jan 15 Ibo coupists wanted to release him and hand power over to him.

A slave is he, whose miserable existence will forever remain unknown to those whose atrocities he defends. This describes your miserable self.

I may be banned for this post, but the facts need to be set straight.

Anatomy of the problem:

In the thread referred to here: https://www.nairaland.com/7825461/drop-name-nigeria-demeaning-wole. One poster, in a now deleted post, claimed, and according to him, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, in an act of benevolence, prevented the North from decimating the Igbos during the war.

Such dangerous, blatant lies peddled as facts must not be allowed to exist without rebuttal. This is how false narratives are created and perpetuated as true accounts of historical events if left uncorrected. Therefore, the falsehood is counted as follows:


Awolowo was the architect of the wartime starvation policy that starved millions of Biafrans and caused the death of Biafran children, women, and the elderly. As a federal commissioner, he advised Gowon to blockade Biafra in a strategy of starvation to force the people to surrender.

Awolowo is a war criminal who knowingly committed a crime against humanity, starving thousands of Biafrans and killing hundreds of thousands of children and women.

Background:

Now, let us also remember that at the outbreak of the war, the criminal Awolowo was in prison serving a sentence for treason. A common criminal who habitually conspired and violated the laws of the Republic and was duly tried, convicted, and sent to prison.

Obafemi Awolowo was convicted of treasonable felony, conspiracy to commit felony, and conspiracy to effect an unlawful purpose, and sentenced to ten, five, and two years imprisonment on all three counts, and was imprisoned in 1963. He was later released from Calabar Prison after the outbreak of hostilities in August 1966.

Some neo-revisionist historians dispute who actually ordered his release. But we also remember that after the declaration of Biafra on May 30, 1967, Calabar, where Awolowo was serving his prison sentence, effectively became Biafran territory and under direct Biafran control. So, logically, who had the territorial authority to order his release and what were the terms of his agreement?

Let's be clear, Ojukwu released the unrepentant tribalist and traitor who had repaid him and his people in bad faith.

I don't know how some people reason you meant he should've continue feeding his enemy when his enemy fighting to take his territory

The highest concentration of mad people are in your yeast .

That's why the FG is investing in building 6 pyschistric hospitals in your region.

gidgiddy:


Awolowo was in Calabar prison, then in the Eastern Region. You think Gowon went to the East?

gowon does not need go to east before he can order awo`s release,like he did not need travel to east when he divided old eastern region into three.

No longer Tinubu?

001Lagos

You are claiming Lagos yet you are from across the River Niger

The Dream that made Lagos an Economic Powerhouse today was Awolowo's Dream

He was Jailed for that Dream
