A general never abandons his troops in the heat of battle, that's the classic definition of cowardice. What happens if your enemy decides to slaughter your troops and your people who you purport to be protecting.
The Nigerian civil war was not the first civil war in modern times, but it is the only war the general commanding a side ran away in the heat of battle. During the US civil war, Robert Lee who was the president of the south and the general that commanded the southern army personally surrounded and negotiated the terms of the surrender, he did not run away because of fear for his life.

If we are to even accepted your warped history that Awolowo commited suicide, then that is far more bravery than running away. If IBB wanted to kill him and Awo decided to commit suicide rather than be killed or humiliated, that is an act of bravery. History had it that cleopatra of Egypt choose to commit suicide that allow herself to be captured by Octavian, and be humiliated. She is celebrated for that act of bravery till today.

A general that is afraid to die is not worth to be called a General.

Even efunsetan aniwura, iyalode Ibadan, a woman for that matter refused to run. She rather commit suicide than being captured. Only coward runs away.

eagleu:
The correct thing will be to open your own thread about the lies again Awolowo.

You'd appear like you want to derail this thread by changing the topic from Ojukwu to Awolowo

I am not changing. He should come out and talk

gidgiddy:
You should start your own thread to debunk whatever lies you think has been told against Awolowo. This thread is about Ojukwu, not Awolowo.

I careless, just answer me.

Deepfeel:
Even if ojukwu dressed like a woman to escape its acceptable anything can be done to survive in war

But the real coward is this man awolowo who drank rat poison to escape misery

Lol, this is the only thing you cowards have. No proof. But I can show you proof that ojukwu is a coward and died senilely at the same age as baba awoo. Where are the ojukwu children.

gidgiddy:
The Nigerian media, particularly those of the North and west, have consistently propagated a series of lies against late Biafran Warlord, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, for the last 50 years since the end of the war. Some of these lies have assumed a life of their own. Im here to debunk 7 of these lies so that people may know the truth

1) That Ojukwu lost no family member in the war:

Contrary to popular belief that Ojukwu lost no relations to the war, Ojukwu lost his own brother. Ojukwus younger brother, Tom Bigger, died while fighting in the Nsukka sector of the war

2)That Ojukwu never visited the war front:
Not only did Ojukwu visit the front several times, he even personally led "operation Igwuruta" that cleared Nigerian forces from Oguta.

3)That Ojukwu forced the minorities of the Eastern Region into Biafra without Consultation:
Before Ojukwu declared Biafra, he convened the "Eastern Nigeria Consultative Forum", a body that comprised all the chiefs, provincial heads and trade union leaders of the 20 provinces that made up the old Eastern Region. They met in Enugu and voted overwhelmingly for the Eastern Region to become an independent country and mandated Ojukwu to declare Biafra. When you compare this to Nigeria which Lugard created in 1914 without even giving notice to anybody, you begin to understand the hypocrisy.

4) That Ojukwu was not senior to Gowon:
Gowon was commissioned an officer in 1956 while Ojukwu was in 1957. However, Ojukwu joined the civil service in 1955. When Ojukwu was commissioned in 1957, his commission date was backdated to 1955 to reflect when he joined the civil service. This made Ojukwu to become senior to Gowon.

5)That Ojukwu dressed like a woman to escape Biafra:
Ojukwu left Biafra via Uli Airport. Why would Ojukwu disguise himself as a woman to go an Airport in an area still under his control? Does that make any sense? Besides, people like NU Akpan, AA Madiebo and Philip Effiong have all written in their books how they escorted Ojukwu in a convoy to the Airport.



6) That Ojukwu was a coward for fleeing Biafra: The Oxford dictionary defines a coward as "a person who lacks the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things". Had Ojukwu wanted, he could have used his position to negotiate a top position in Gowon's government. Had Ojukwu wanted, he could taken his father millions and retired to any country in the world. Instead, Ojukwu fought a 3 year war of independence against impossible odds, against a much larger and better equiped enemy. In the end when he could not continue, he exited the scene as the alternative would have been to wait to be killed. Ojukwus bravery is in his will to declare the independence of an oppressed people and fight with for 3 years. Anyone who thinks he is a coward for not "staying back to be killed" is someone who is ignorant

7) That Ojukwu caused the war/declared war:

Ojukwu did not cause the war and he never declared any war. Contrary to the lie(s) peddled against Ojukwu, Ojukwu actually tried to prevent war. While Igbos were being killed all over Nigeria, Ojukwu appealed for calm and protected Northerners in the East. Ojukwu even risked his personal safety to meet Gowon in Ghana to prevent war by reaching an agreement. Despite Ojukwus best efforts to prevent war, Gowon still went ahead to break the Aburi agreement they signed, which left Ojukwu with no option than to declare Biafra. Throughout the war, Ojukwu travelled out for several peace meetings brokered by the international community, none of which Gowon bothered to attend. It was Gowon that caused the war by breaking the agreement they signed and it was he who declared war.

Mr gidgiddy, What about these lies you people have been peddling for 50years.

That Awolowo cause the starvation of your children despite that Robert Goldstein resignation letter exposed ojukwu.

That Awolowo died of rat poison even though you guys no get proof or doctor report.

That they killed you in west by yorubas

That Yorubas seize your properties in west even though it is written everywhere that your properties were given back to you. Even many of your brothers that their parents had properties in west then testified to it.

That ojukwu released awolowo despite video showing otherwise.

That awolowo betrayed ojukwu even though we have been asking you guys to show us the agreement they have.

That biafran armies did not bomb casino cinema.


Waiting for you.

That

LarryBee1k:
Sir,

Your number 3 and number 7 are both wrong

Igbos forced other ethnic minors of South-South and South East to join biafra side. Those that refused were killed


Igbos also started the civil war! They killed Western and northern leaders. Then put their own leader

Thank you for bursting his lie. I am just looking at him.

I don't engage in junk journalism. Tell that to less travelled not me.

Go to Lagos, Ogun infact SW including kwara and see how you guys are nearly turning to gays.

Out of every 10 boys..7 are gays.


Leave fake statistics and face reality.

[/s]Larmentation of a pained osu. You no proof against denrele edun.

Olamide and naira Maley only playing with themselves, they have their women even with kids.

Bobrisky is only interested in changing himself to woman.

So all your junks are fallacy.

Meanwhile.

The top 10 states searching for gay porn in Nigeria according to web searches are:

Imo
Enugu
Anambra
Abia
Delta
Edo
Rivers
Abuja
Lagos
Bauchi.

So they should leave fact that came out from Google and follow your pain talk.

For you to know that stat that 10 out of 7 are gay, then you are definitely one of them.

Ndo.

The Champlain College Board of Trustees on Tuesday announced Benjamin Ola. Akande as the ninth President of Champlain College. Mr Akande will assume the role effective July 1, 2020.
Laurie Quinn, Champlain’s Provost and Senior Vice President for Academics, has been serving as Interim President since July 1, 2019.
“Dr Akande is an agent of change and a visionary leader with a global perspective. His enterprising mindset and commitment to student success will be essential as he leads Champlain College in an evolving higher education landscape. We look forward to welcoming Dr Akande to Champlain and supporting his work to advance the College’s strategic position and build on the strength of our distinctive academic offerings,” said Champlain College Board of Trustees Chair, Charles Kittredge.
Mr Akande currently serves as the Assistant Vice Chancellor for International Affairs-Africa and the Associate Director of the Global Health Centre at Washington University in St. Louis.
Named one of the city’s “Most Influential Leaders” by the St. Louis Business Journal, Mr Akande is an accomplished economist and scholar educator, as well as a recognized civic and business leader. He holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Oklahoma and served as a tenured Professor of Economics and Dean of the George Herbert Walker School of Business and Technology at Webster University in St. Louis from 2000–2015. As Dean, Dr Akande was instrumental in securing the $10 million naming gift, the largest in the institution’s history.
As the 21st President of Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri from 2015–2017, Dr Akande strengthened the college’s infrastructure and financial sustainability, transformed academic offerings and reimagined marketing and communication strategies to build the college’s brand identity.
“I am humbled and honoured by the opportunity to lead Champlain College during this period of great transformation and even greater opportunity. While the challenges we currently face as global citizens are daunting, they also sharpen our focus and urge us both individually and as a community, to lead from wherever we are,” said Dr Akande. “The commitment to educating adaptable thinkers, daring change-makers and inclusive innovators who shape professions and inspire communities is what sets Champlain College apart. I look forward to taking this journey with you and thank you for the trust you have placed in me to further Champlain College’s mission together.”
The selection of Dr Akande was the result of an extensive national search conducted by a broadly representative search committee comprised of students, faculty, staff, Trustees, and a local community member. The committee was supported by Koya Leadership Partners, an executive search firm specializing in mission-driven organizations. Neale Lunderville, Trustee and Chair of the Presidential Search Committee, shared, “I want to offer my sincere gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to each of our committee members. Their extraordinary efforts over the past many months produced a strong result: Dr Akande will be an exceptional President for our exceptional College.”
The Board of Trustees and Champlain community are deeply grateful to Dr Laurie Quinn for her service as Interim President. Dr Quinn will return to her role as Provost and Senior Vice President for Academics at the conclusion of her term on June 30, 2020.
Dr Quinn shared, “It’s my honour to congratulate and warmly welcome Dr Akande to lead the Champlain community as our next President. Complex times test great leaders, and we are fortunate to be a strong community with a great new leader transitioning in at this time. I’ll be proud to serve on Dr Akande’s team and to chart Champlain’s future together.”

You are just a victim crier. That is the fact.

What have you done to the sacking of community by Fulani herdsmen in enugu, anambra and abia.

Hope you were able to save one of your fathers that small Fulani boy slapped in his farm in anambra and collected his phone. Only for him to be shouting na because I know you o.

Obamaofusa:
They are jealous that Ibadan is more developed than their entire Igboland.They have not been able to build one skyscraper but one scrawny looking coffin-like 15 storey building in Anambra.

I understand na. When you are above someone, they must jealous. If na me too, I go jealous.
