Na lie Bro.. Gowon released Awolowo from prison not Ojukwu. Google it.

Ojukwu was in charge of eastern region where awolowo was imprisoned he was the one who released awolowo, same way he released Victor banjo, adewale, chukwuma nzeogwu, ifeajuna etc Gowon never released awolowo ojukwu did

adelaja70:
OK... But all i know is that Awolowo never betrayed Ojukwu. Let me quote what he said... If Eastern Region is allowed Either by commission or ommition to go.. The west won't have a choice than to leave.

Even with this statement you quoted by awolowo shows he placed the Nigerian government under threat to do everything to keep the Eastern region from leaving Nigeria he wasn't worried about whatever sufferings the biafrans were going through all he saw was the fear of Easterners leaving the West in Nigeria,
that's by the way his betrayal is here, ojukwu released him awolowo from prison in calabar awolowo later visited ojukwu with his delegates in Enugu and they discussed about the suffering of the igbos during the counter coup and it was clear ojukwu was going to declare biafran, awolowo asked ojukwu to inform him 48 hours before declaring biafran so that he will do same and take the Yorubas out of Nigeria, a telephone line was tapped from ojukwus bedroom to awolowos home in ikenne for that very purpose

adelaja70:
IF true he betrayed Ojukwu, why did he now hailed him as the best president Nigeria never had?

If you know ojukwu well, ojukwu never spoke bad about any of these men when he returned from exile, he wanted to be at peace with everyone, because the whole Nigeria looked at ojukwu as an enemy of Nigeria so he held his peace, he didn't even speak bad about Gowon.

Ojukwu was a good orator he picked his words carefully when talking about awolowo and nnamdi azikiwe

Wike of all people

UtuokeAlcoholic:
Is there dutche wele (Germany Hausa), FRI (France Radio International Hausa ), VOA (Voice of America Hausa), China Radio (Hausa) etc. in igbo too?

Stop shifting the goal post, there is BBC Igbo, why will BBC ask him to report in Hausa and and not Igbo aswell cause this man captured is an Igbo man not Hausa.

From inside prison abi? Ori e ti baje.. Lie kee you dia

Awolowo was released from prison before he visited ojukwu , the pressure for ojukwu to declare Biafra was heated up in eastern Region at that time and it was clear ojukwu was going to declare Biafra after the aburi Accord failed

Why not BBC Igbo? Cause there is BBC Igbo too

GboyegaD:
You mind sharing what book this was recited?

The biafran story by frederick Forsyth

There was a country by Chinua Achebe

egoldman:
Igbos and yorubas have a common enemy, whose strength lies in their divisions.

As far as una continue on this part, both of you will always be a conquered people.

How is it that you all make this statement only when Yoruba are in trouble, but you won't hear such Statment when igbos are in trouble?

GboyegaD:
Must you lie to soothe your narrative? Awolowo never visited Ojukwu to declare a Biafra rather it was Ojukwu who visited Awolowo at the Calabar prison and one of the reasons for his release was that he would declare a SW Republic which he agreed to.

Unfortunately, he reneged because he had the selfish interest of ruling one Nigeria and took the Minister of Finance position with the FG.

I'm not talking of ojukwus visit, awolowo visited ojukwu in Enugu after that, he said two things to ojukwu,
1) inform me 48 hours before declaring biafran so I can arrange to to pull the Yorubas out of Nigeria same time

2) him and his people with remain neutral not supporting Nigeria in battle not supporting biafra in battle

laiperi:
Can you back up your continual claims after been corrected continually about Awo and Ojukwu? So Awo was waiting for Ojukwu to declare Yoruba Independence the way Zik his Godfather waited for him to declare: small boy wey kill ime papa wan kil me.

BTW, Sunday Igboho is only one of the speakers and arrangers. The Demonstration goes on with or without him.

Yes awo visited ojukwu in Enugu and ask ojukwu to notify him 48 hours before he declare Biafra, so that he will make arrangements to do same for the Yorubas at the same time, and assured ojukwu that him as his people will be neutral not supporting Nigeria or Biafra in battle, in fact a telephone was tapped from ojukwus office to awolowos house in Ibadan because of that very purpose, ojukwu did informed awo before declaring Biafra, only to hear that awo was appointed as Nigerian finance minister and special adviser to gen Gowon, awolowo publicly wailed to the north saying " Do everything possible to keep the biafrans in Nigeria else we the Yorubas will follow if the biafrans succeed and it will inspire groups all over Africa to do the same ".

He awolowo persuaded Gowon to put a blockade on biafrans so they can starve to submission he publicly admitted everything is fair in war , and he came up with the idea of giving every Igbo with money in Nigerian banks 20 pounds no matter what they had in the banks before the war, even if you had 1 million you will be given 20 pounds ,

Just because of that little clash at his house in Ibadan he wants to abandon the agitation for self determination?


This is how awolowo visited Enugu in 1967 and convinced ojukwu to declare Biafra that he will use that opportunity to pull South West out of Nigeria too, the next thing he went and accepted the post of finance minister and became Gowons right hand man, the afonja spirit is in every yoruba man

EraseTheDot:
He was flexing abroad while his pigs were dying at home.

- erase the dot

And yet you call a man living a five star lifestyle flying private jet from one country to another overseas freely a terrorist? Can you mention any terrorist in history with the type of nnamdi KANUs free five star lifestyle?


You zombie pigs are just jealous of nnamdi KANU


Erase the hate

noleflendum:
when is that Cownu facing firing squad?
we want to watch it live

And Boko Haram terrorists rehabilitated?




Have you witnessed Excecution by firing squad in your lifetime?

sweetshisha:
This means war

War because it happened to a Yoruba man not an Igbo man?



A wise man up north once said,
" Whenever you wake up at night and hear the Yorubas beating drums of war quietly go back to sleep cause it will never happen, Yorubas are verbal warriors " .

sweetshisha:
Trending over an arrest

Eleribu people

The news of Nelson Mandela's capture and imprisonment was a global trend during his time

amc:
And who told you Yorubas are in support of Sunday Igboho's madness?

Majority of Yoruba's don't want a copy of Mazi Kanu in their land and would be happy to see Sunday Igboho locked away until he regains his senses.

Same thing Yorubas did to chief Abiola?

Let me hear the Yorubas call their hero a run away coward

LamidiCownu:
Would you like to experience that kinda enjoyment too ??
Kanu was reported to have been brought in leg chain to the court . That should tell you a lot already

Reported by who? Which court? Who was the judge? Nnamdi KANU has a right to his lawyer where was his lawyer? You are just listening to conspiracy theories, I know you also believe he was arrested in 5 different countries at the same time?

sweetshisha:
Better unknown than to be known as a fugitive criminal in Fulanis prison eating undone beans

Lol, Nnamdi KANU's life in prison is better than you and your unknown family,
are you aware that last time nnamdi KANU was locked up in prison, he had his own separate apartment with servants, cooks, a TV to watch and access to a phone? He personally bailed innocent people in that prison and donated a generator Worth millions to that prison
I believe nnamdi KANU gave himself out to be arrested cause truthfully nnamdi KANU was beginning to lose followers when the killings was happening in South East everyday, it looked as if he was helpless in the situation, but now in prison he will gain more followers

Lol

sweetshisha:




Ipaobians are so stupid...... I pity them sometimes

Wizkid Ayodeji, Burna boy Ebunoluwa are both gaining International recognition for winning the Grammy

50 year old coward like Kanu is gaining fame for cowardice and re arrest


.

And you are not even recognized in your community ?

Benstino:
Did Nigeria really recover, 6 months later?
Infact, has Nigeria recovered from the effects 51 yrs later?

Of course Nigeria recovered 6 months later cause igbos forgave and quickly moved back to settle in those places they were murdered and never spoke about it for 30 yrs till uwazurike started talking about it in 1999 then Nnamdi KANU took over in 2012
economically speaking Nigeria completely recovered but wasted the money cause oil boomed immediately after the war in the 70s

JosephXavier:
I'm seriously wondering if Nigeria will ever recover and experience peace again after the pseodo-military regime of his Excellency, General Muhammad Buhari

Nigeria recovered 6 months after a bloody civil war that claimed the lives of 3 million igbos, so what is happening now is nothing as long as the victims are quick to forgive like the igbos did

I won't forget the things my old eyes saw during my 5 years stay in Enugu. I was a young chap with a job that paid. Everywhere I went to, see as these dot girls dey drool over me..even the ones in the company of their boyfriends

In those days, their thick legs weren't much of a turn off for me. The hairy chests of course were.

Damn!

The story is long. I think I will have to open a thread for it..

Watch out for "My days in Enugu"

She was born and raised in Lagos not Enugu

Let ipobs go then your Nigeria will know Peace

24SEVEN:
I like Abians cos they are usually courageous, and cannot be bullied. A large percentage of Abians trace their ancestry to Ikwerre. Abia people behave like Ikwerres. Brave and Audacious.

Ikwerres that don't even know who they are, whether from bini or igbos, people with a borrowed language, borrowed culture run away slaves from bini you call them brave?

It's an insult to say igbos in Abia traced their ancestry to ikwerre when ikwerres themselves don't know who they are.

emonis88:
Yeah! Even d Angelican Church is not doing enough for d southeast. If it was a govt that did all these won't u give d governor kudos.

But the government of Anambra support these churches financially on every major project they embark on , so both the church and government are doing well working hand in hand kudos to all of them
