Ngodigha1:
I do not know why you lots shy away from talking about the circumstances that led to his disgraceful death. Is it a taboo in Yorubaland to discuss of people who drank poison and died.

Kc3000:
^^^^^never mind the nwa mmuo, they'll conveniently forget all the Yorubas that were involved with the coup. In fact, Victor Banjo was indicted in the same coup, and jailed like the rest of the participants. Sure, he claimed he was innocent,. . . except no one, not even his own mother believed him. He was a Lt.Col, highest ranking of all the participants, so I don't think any one ordered him to do anything he didn't want to do.
   Ademoyega, a Yoruba actor in the coup plot, has let everyone know, and has been corroborated by others, that they had a goal to put Awolowo in power. Sure sounds like an Igbo agenda!

Andre Uweh:
^^^Because you joined nairaland less than two years ago.

Andre Uweh:
^^But there are some easterners who do speak Igbo yet they are not Igbo. So many Okrikans and Kalabaris are not Igbo but speaks Igbo. Ibime a famous nairalander speaks and writes Igbo yet he is not Igbo.

Andre Uweh:
Willy does not speak Igbo either. Mind you, there are so many languages in the old eastern region. Please do not insult him. Use he instead of she.

Andre Uweh:
Willy Willy is not Igbo. He is just a man who hates evil.

kings33:
I am suprise that in Odili's claim of Ojukwu having fought for 13% he didnt even regard the effort of the former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Victor Attah. Soon someone would claim that he discovered Nigeria as Columbus did America. buried him on time lets rest, the man is gone where he worked for, why all the fuss about a corpse.

ekwy nwa:
Don’t hate but emulate cos we re not Mate

Ojukwu jerks every Yoruba man up so this course OJUKWUMANIA  is now compulsory for ever Yoruba man

Igbos are more than you; no amount of yapping can change the fact

Ojukwu died and the nation stood on its feet

From North, (Niger state) South South (Port Harcourt) down to [b]South west[/b] (Lagos)  

Lagos was literally brought to halt for ONE MAN…, CHUKWUEMEKA ODIMUEGWU OJUKWU

Clowns give it up to him, even your god Tinubu   got nothing on this HERO

Dude stop acting like a fool, in your culture if you don't know how to respect your elder then you didn't come from home,may be motherless baby homes i will hold my insult for now,

vanstanzy:
If u live in yoruba land long enof, u'll realise that their respect they proclaim is a deception& they curse alot, infact, they live by cursing. They all know its true& that i aint lying. If not, let someone amongst 'em prove me wrong.
U can practically see it here, the way they insult the dead, without remorse.
I'll live long enough to see the kind of legacy these yoruba haters will leave behind on earth.
ITS SO DAMN PITIFUL WHATS ISSUING OUT OF UR MOUTHS.

dustydee:
why do people spend so much money on the dead while the living die of suffering? A befitting burial doesn't mean gold plated casket.

bakila:
war of survival! Secession is an act of internal aggression if you dont know. He was an opportunist who took benefit of an innamen coup, he isnt involved in it conception. His declaration of secesion was completely foolish and sucidal. To have also attempted to annexed other section of nigeria given his poor experiance, firepower and competence in combat was arrogant and silly. By the way do you know what happened to nzeagwu, ifejiena and okoro the mastermind of the 1st coup. He killed them all!

ak47mann:

cap28:
all those years he was in exile - how did he survive? who catered for his family?  these are the questions so many delusional igbos can not answer.  if the west wanted him dead he would never have made it out of nigeria alive but miraculously he did - how come?

he was all about power and status - he wanted control over the oil wells in the south east but he didnt have the military might to defeat the british and their northern stooges - the british showed him that they didnt become an empire for nothing - its either he was extremely naive or blinded by enormous arrogance or both.

Hate it or love it d igbos r rising n r getting stronger by d day. U jealous folks can do nothing but swallow d bitter pill. [size=18pt]Ojukwu is an oracle[/size]

Dnaz:
We r not complaining we didn't want him to be killed.we told him to run away. He was still needed alive. He was a hero to d last n we ll continue to accord him with dat respect. If u don't like it, go to taraba n kiss a lassa fever patient mr al majiri abi al haram

Ojukwu was wise in Running away. Yess d roman generals did commit sucide when dey loose battles cos dat was d easiest choice 4 dem. In ojukwus case sucide was d most foolish thing to do. I cannot in anyway as a christain commit sucide when I know dat d punishment 4 dat was eternal damnation in hell. In iboland sucide was an abomination, ur body ll be cast into d evil forest and u ll not have a proper funeral. Aside d tradition, ojukwu was also a christain he will not condemn his own soul. D Romans didn't believe in any of these hence dey resorted to sucide. D oda option was a no go area. Dere was no way he wuld surrender himself to d british government spoon fed federal military govt whom he was head above shoulders higher dan to humiliate n ridicule and den mutilate his body to d chagrin of d biafran nation. Dat wuld have hurt d pride of the biafran nation. No he wuld not give d FMG dat opportunity to Ridicule our pride. With his wisdom he chose d best option depart biafra den handover to effiong who wuld surrender(to d british cos d FMG was inept in d war)in so doing he saved d pride n honour of dose who fought n died so that we deir children wuldnt suffer genocide n extermination. He gave biafra hope,he was still more useful to us dead dan alive.he gave us strength he was our IKEMBA.alas d FMG neva conquered biafra, britain did . Ojukwu was everytin u can find in a hero. Everybody here sayin any derogatory comment knows dis n r only jealous dey wuld neva attain his feat igbaodun my med colleague is drunk with envy n hatred for d igbos n I laff cos he might soon die of arteriosclerosis if he isn't careful cos since after d war d ibos have continued to rise n rise to d chagrin of people like him. Dey tot we were dead n finished but God was with us,as he always is. Nobody can take away ojukwus greatness from him cos it was given to him from above so haters u can only try but u won't succeed.try instead to improve urself n see if u can b of any relevance to d society. As 4 ikemba his name shall be written n d book of Kings n thousands of years from now children wuld sing of his valor n bravery. He was a Legend n his story shall be heard from generation to generation. Rest in peace d Eze ndi igbo gburu gburu. Even d heavens herald d death of Princes

Why do people tell lies about the dead? It was the same thing they did at whitney houston's funeral service.

Dede1:
Come on, pal. Obasanjo, Yoruba and both northern region political and military elites made sure Yoruba land was relevant when crude oil is discussed in Nigeria immediately after the civil war. The 1976 boundary adjustment program instigated by Obasanjo’s regime and executed by Mallam or Alhaji Nasir was both punitive and compensatory measures. I can never forgive Nigeria and certain people that inhabit it. It is good to notice the shells of propaganda have begun to fall off some peoples’ eyes.

Pa Omoigui had hinted to this issue in one of the interviews the octogenarian gave to certain newspaper.

cap28:
you make very valid points which i agree with and yes i am an igbo but not a brainwashed one.

i beleive that ojukwu was just another power hungry igbo megalomaniac who didnt give a damn about the igbo people - this is why he was able to risk the lives of 3 million people knowing full well that he could never win this war against the western backed north.

the real hero was Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu who was a nationalist - his only negative trait was that he was politically naive without a deep understanding of the people he was up against.- in the end he was betrayed by those closest to him.

If Ojukwu had succeeded with the secession i beleive he would not have been a good leader - just another dictator. - dont forget that his father was very close to the former governor general of nigeria (a known racist) Ojukwu was an elitist and was only interested in power - you have to ask yourself how he was able to escape to ivory coast - as you know very well - nothing happens in africa without the authorisatino of the western nations - they aided and abetted his escpae - why? because he did a deal with them - that should tell you that he was not for the people because a true leader does not cut deals with the enemy - check all revolutionary leaders in the world - che guevara, thomas sankara, fidel castro - did they cut deals with foreign powers? even mandela had to spend 27 years in prison and was only allowed out when he chose to cut a deal with the western powers - that is the reason Ojukwu's life was spared - he agreed to cut a deal with them and then come back to join forces with them.

compare that to those who refused to cut deals - are they alive or dead? (Qadaffi, Sankara, Lumumba?)
