Why didn't Ojukwu lead a war and declare Biafra when Aguinyi Ironsi was in power?

Ojukwu realized Igbos were marginalized the moment Ironsi was overthrown. He simply was powerdrunk and didn't want to leave hold of the eastern region.

Let me stop here.

Ibos are highly territorial. Unable to organize themselves, when the white man, for the first time since their entire existence primitive cannibal Iboland attained nationhood. Once the British made the idiotic mistake to lump them with their Niger Delta cultured neighbors, Ibos were never ever going to let go.

And those that followed him blindly paid with over three million lives. That's a good price to pay for stupidity

We can't be distracted by this time when someone presented a forged certificate.


I think u must be mentally unstable if the only problem u have is Ojukwu.

Hungry mam.

Niger Delta ethics groups doesn't speak Igbo, Igbo are descendants of the south east.

Niger Delta was first before Igbo Biafra.

Chibuzoc:
In other words neither Ojukwu nor Ironsi was responsible for the collapse of the regional govt as being stated by ediats like you

Op, Igbos were not even marginalized at all! Infact, they were the ones running nepotism then! 75% of government parastatals then were Igbos..

Ojukwu declared biafra solely because the power Igbo grabbed thru coup, they were unable to use it! They had destroyed our regionalism with the believe they’ll be controlling us all from the centre but nature caught up on them! They didn’t know Ironsi would end up like that so soon!

The moment that failed, he moved to the next plan which is Biafra! Ojukwu knew with the federalism, he would be powerless and useless since there was no more regional power! It wasn’t as if Ojukwu had any visionary plan ahead for Biafra & that was the beginning of his failure! Igbos that saw thru & beyond didn’t follow Ojukwu. They stayed back here in Nigeria! The ones that followed him paid dearly & heavily for it!

Deltancapo:


Igbo are the problem of Nigeria, and thank God they are the ones crying continuosly for it.
