afam4eva: I think this thread should be locked and the key thrown away because we know how this thread will end.

gbadexy: Ojukwu was a very smart man. After the coup of july 1966, he called brigadier ogundipe to continue to resist the rebel. The hausa soldiers told ogundipe they wouldn't take orders from him and he had to call a lieutenant abubakar who got go ahead from murtala before relaying ogundipes wish to the soldiers who were all northerners.
Interestingly. Ojukwu left enugu and was calling ogundipe to keep fighting from onitsha. He refused to get back to his post at enugu until col ogunewe his deputy negotiated on ojukwu's behalf to evacuate all the northern soldiers from enugu.

Timehin: Why do some people claimed AWO was against the igbos?

The letter confirmed its the northerners that are anti-igbo and events since then have shown who are their enemies.

Pennywise: Jonathan can never write a letter like this even if his life depends on it.

Nice one my guy, chop knuckles.

. . . .And what am I supposed to read? The rise and fall of the Hitler niGERian version who specialised in women and kids killings?

After reading your usual spew I can now understand why Hitler and Osama has got proteges . . . .

jason123:

Did that Igbo man release him? It took a middle-belter called Gowon to release him. For eff sake, stop lying. Since when the Gowon become a Hausa. Even his closest friend Nnamdi join a Hausa to imprison him and cause chaos in the Western region after splitting it to reduce her political dominance but God does not sleep.

You guys are not being sincere and that's your problem.

gbadexy: @ da infamous,
You are very correct. According to the article, the evacuated northern soldiers on their way to lagos through kaduna even killed 3 igbo officers who boarded the train at kaduna and beheaded them. The attack was led by lieutenant shehu yaradua. Benjamin adekunle was reportedly stabbed by yaradua with a boyanet for allowing the easterners to board the train and protesting against attacking them.
If nothing else, the article, corroborated by the actors and even the opposing sides opened my eyes to the fact that the northerners are very united and no matter how close you get to them, they won't hesitate to kill you if you are not from the north. Ironsi was betrayed by the northern soldiers he most trusted, major danjuma only had to walk up to the commander of the northern guard to explain his mission before the northerners who were amongst the guard overpowered the southerners and instead turn into Ironsi's captor. A col okoro at kaduna was set up by his trusted second in command who he had exacted promise of loyalty from despite advice from madiebo to evacuate the city.

Pennywise:

What a bunch of lun.atics we have on NL. It is exactly for this reason hardened criminals have takeover our House of Assembly, presidency gone to the dogs and the Nigerian state in utter chaos.

Nigerians are unable to rise above tribal sentiments and use the brain that God has given them to improve on their living space like other people. Its a shame. If this is a curse, it is bad curse that need exorcism. In the mean time your leaders may continue to plunder your resources while you idolise and shout yourself hoarse over your kinsmen.

ebamma: if pa awolowo had known that this is wat nigeria will turn to, he could have supported ojukwu's biafra cause.
