[quote author=ikooko]In that case, Achebe should acknowledge also that Ojukwu arrogantly led his people to be slaughtered senselesly.[/quote Your reasoning is quite pathetic. Do you really think Ojukwu led the entire host of igbos entirely on his own whims? Are you thinking? Even in death, all igbo men stood in support of what he did and daily eulogise him for his valour. Many prominent igbo sons fought or worked on the Biafran side. Trust Igbos, they would have deserted Ojukwu if they didn't believe in the course. 1 Like |

[quote author=bittyend]Holy shiit, Chief Obafemi Awolowo was GANGSTAR! So educated, intelligent, brilliant; yet he kept it gangstar to his grave. It's a world of kill, or be killed; and everything is fair in a war. Vicious world, I tell ya. More reason why I keep it gangstar as well, it's the survival of fittest doctrine that controls the conscious/knowledgeable minds. Death before dishonour and act before acted upon, phuck what everyone thinks, you don't owe no one shiiit. Merry making after war, but when it's on, it's on. Chief Obafemi Awolowo reminds me of myself. Brutal, gangstar, ghetto, shrewd, and vicious; yet still standing among the best in the corporate world. Pity and survival don't mix like two dycks; survive first, and feel pity later. Long live Biafra
