On Tuesday, May 30, the pro-Biafra people carried out a sit-home exercise in remembrance of the heroes and heroines of Biafra.Ojukwu is a name that rings a bell when it comes to Biafra and Nigerian history. He is heralded as the veteranwho spearheaded the attempted secession of the Igbo people.But beyond the heroic stories that have been heard about Ojukwu, thereare certain bad decisions he took during the war.Below are the 6 major mistakes Ojukwu made during the Biafra war
.1. Nzeogwu's death :He let them kill Nzogwu the Great! People rumoured that he was afraid Nzeogwu will challenge his authority after the war. Nzogwu was defined as a man who would stop at nothing to ensure that those in power do not abuse it.
2. Dethroning generalsThe stories have been told of how Ojukwu dethroned his generals (because they tried to advise him) and made civilians his war generals, eg. Colonel Achuzia.

3. Going into battle without solid plansIt is said that Ojukwu was in the habit of not planning his battles, he just fought with emotion.There are reports that everyone who tried to advise him got deposed and thrown into jail. A biafran high ranking officer once narrated in his book that he drove from Enugu to the war front at abakaliki only to discover that Biafransoldiers who were droped by Ojukwu and were facing the Nigerian superior military might punishment didnt even dig trenches.
he ordered them to start digging trenches right at the battle field.This he said prevented the Nigerian tanks from over running the Biafrans on the very first day of battle.Ojukwu did not plan the preparation of the war! He just started fighting with the available resources.He should have got big countries like America and Britain to support Biafra (atleast in exchange of some oil).Gowon for instance agreed with Cameroun not to let Biafrans get weapon supplies from the camerounian border in exchange for the Bakassi peninsula.This alone made the Biafran resistance very miserable.
4. Child-Soldiers :When the men had been killed, Ojukwu started 'arming' children and using them as his soldiers for battle! A development that could have been seen as a war crime.
5. Porters :Biafran medics never had stretchers from day one, they were called porters because they were often made up of four men who would carry the wounded on their head and run to the rear of the battle field.This was to get worse in the third year of the war as Biafran soldiers left their wounded and fled battle fields.

6. Truce :General Ojukwu should have more intelligently accepted a truce a year or two before the end of the war when men like Zik, Akanu Ibiam and ahost of others, advised him it was impossible to win the war.He refused to quit the war after the first year on seeing that the Igbos can't win.

When the war became so bitter and the Biafran weapons got finished, he would load hundreds of young men into trailers and arm them with clubs and machetes and dump them at the war front.He would tell the young men that 'hausas' are fools. 'Kill them all'.The Nigerian war tank will just lower its 50s and open fire on 'unarmed' biafran soldiers in the war front.There is no doubt that Ojukwu was a Biafra patriot and a warrior of great courage. He gave his all to the war, surviving by the whiskers.However, like we all humans, we have our flaws, and history is recorded so that mistakes of the past are not repeated.

You people always talk from your anus and no where else. But for the resilient of the Yorubas, you people will still be under the firm grip of the military men. I know you are too young to know this, but your honest elders will tell you. You Igbo cowardly elders were all hiding away, so tell me how was the military forced to hand over power to the Yorubas.
Good, thank God that you know the war will still be fought on your land again this time.
YOU PEOPLE ARE TERRIBLE SMALL MINDED Jezzzzz

DONGOYARO1:
Stop dragging others along your road to doom. You ibos are all going pack to your tiny south east states

With treat issue by Northern youth to igbo to vacate the North, we received several information stated that there are serious consultation about the treat through out federation and in particularly in the east!
It revealed those who concern with the treat, think when it started it will extend through out Nigeria and beyond and the well meaning igbo will pay the price, so they can no longer wait for this to happen, they said it's better to die in the hand of kanu and ipob than to face the wrath of Nigeria nation, so they conclude to call kanu to order or have face off!
On the other hand the kanu and ipob were there beaten chest that nothing will happen, but is kanu and ipob prepare for any exodus of igbo from Nigeria? some query! What is certain now is that thing is not all that smoth between who want to defend their interest and kanu ipob who leading igbo fight to have biafra!
igbo now in real dilema of what to do! biafra or igbo interest nation wide!

Udmaster:
Right from day one, I don't and will never support this IPOB Biafra thing. YES I am a proud Nwa afor Igbo.
It is an agitation borne out of delusion by that albino jewish scammer.
Just take a look at their deluded map! Even they have added kogi and benue to their map.
Oh! Where are the Igbo leaders?
That albino scammer want to put Igbo lives and properties in danger again.
He must be stopped! Pls FG Re-Arrest Nnamdi Kanu again.
Thunder fire that idiot, a scammer who want to risk Igbo lives and properties.
There is danger ahead.
IGBOS Can't fight a civil war again, it will be fatal
why do these Ipobs want to destroy what the Igbos have worked to build up since 1970? Why being bitter that Buhari won an election?
Igbo youths, I beg you, you can't win any confrontation with the North.
Every ethnic group in Nigeria are paranoid and suspicious of Igbos.
if war breaks out, Ijaws, Ogonis, Urhobos, Efiks etc will NOT help you. BE WISE.

jamesibor:
Bro, Ibiono is different from Ibeno. You guys should stop this propaganda.

I'll be the first person to protest against a Biafra with the non Igbo speaking communities, we don't need them.

Biafra should be a homogeneous Igbo nation.

menxer:
kpap kpap, kpap kpap kpap, kpap
Weeh done.
Amenam tutu!


Ibiono Ibom L.G.A of Akwa Ibom State the highest producer of crude oil in the Impoverished Niger Delta Area of Nigeria.
Tell me something.


The igbos say Nigeria was founded on a faulty foundation, I wonder the foundation Biafra is trying to lay with this sort of lies.
Biafra has always been about the oil.

oladeebo:
An investigation carry out by an international independent civil right group base in Geneva revealed not less than 65% of igbo both in the eastern Nigeria, south south and many part of Nigeria big cities rejected Biafra sovereign country!
Although this revelation surprise the international community but some diplomats think it's unconnected to the influence of Nigeria nation on Igbo.
while some think the leaderships of Biafra today oppress the Igbo in the east to follow them against their will, why the other Igbo though out Nigeria worry what will become their investment through out Nigeria and sub sahara region of Africa when Biafra get out of Nigeria.
The group concluded that if referendum is conducted in the zone today Biafra will certainly lose!

fratermathy:
He hasn't tumbled anything. His case is still pending in court. There's a high likelihood that he may spend the rest of his days at Kuje if he doesn't stop his treasonable offences. There are better ways of fighting the government and getting them to do what you want. Asking people to hate on others and even take up arms is certainly not one of them.


Oya call me afonja...
