Question I would like to ask my dear Igbo family is:
Was Ojukwu justified in declaring Biafra?

Yes , I believe he was absolutely justified given the ongoing massacres of our people at the time and failure of Gowon's Federal govt to end the killings.

Now getting to Nnamdi Kanu

Tbc

Ok

So when Ojukwu declared for Biafra:

He had exhausted diplomatic options.

Ongoing massive Igbo killings all over Nigeria made it urgent decision to make.

He was already a ruler of entire Igboland and had 100% support of the Igbo population.

He was Military chief capable of conducting warfare if necessary.

He had command and control of all Igbo military personnel machinery, weapons and ammunition.

Yet it was not a decision he took lightly, with the urgency created by massacres of our people he still sought and received the approval of our Royal fathers ,elders, statement and heads judiciaries in our region.

Here is what I think.
First Iam 55years old and was an infant during the first
Ojukwu led Biafra.
Having since done some research on the Ojukwu led Biafra here is what I learnt:

At the time 30th May 1967 that the Republic of Biafra was declared, the following were the facts on ground:

The Federal Republic of Nigeria of which Igboland was a territory was under the military rule of General Gowon, A Northerner who overthrew the previous military ruler General Ironsi in a bloody coup that assassinated General Ironsi and many other Igbo military officers.

Major General Ojukwu was the military Chief administering the Eastern region of the federal government of Nigeria at the time.

He was fully trained in warfare and I believe had served in military mission in war zone at home and abroad (UN peace keeping).

For most of the 11 months since Gowon had assumed power, a massacre of Igbos had been taking place not only in Northern States but also in Lagos and West. And Gowon had been unwilling or unable to bring these massacres to an end.

Ojukwu had exhausted all diplomatic options available to him in bring the crisis of the killings Igbos all over the country to an end; including sending envoys to meet General Gowon to persuade him to do whatever is necessary to stop Igbo massacres.

A summit with Gowon in Aburi Ghana took place and both of them reached an agreement known as the Aburi Accord, which was a plan to restructure Nigeria into a confederation and take steps to end ethinic tribal violence and killings.

Ojukwu in the face of unending massacres of Igbos had given Gowon's Federal govt an ultimatum by which time the Aburi Accord would begin to be implemented and Igbo killings brought to an end. Gowon seemed on able or unwilling to implement the Aburi Accord.

The Igbo masses were now pressuring Ojukwu to do something to save Igbo lives in the face of continued killings.

Ojukwu consulted Igbo Elders, Traditional rulers , Statemen and Heads of judiciary both current and retired, they gave him the mandate to declare the independent Republic of Biafra on May 30th 1967. I was 3 years old.

Ojukwu had complete backing of 100% of The Igbo population and had command over all existing Igbo military personnel and weapons and ammunition and machinery already in Igboland.

In an emotion- causing part of his speech as he declared the independent Republic of Biafra he addressed those Igbos still running for their lives, telling them to stay strong and to be assured that once they can cross that line in the land they will be safe from massacre.

I am getting emotional now. Will be back.

Ojukwu then remain in the trenches with the troops for almost 3 years before Biafra was defeated by Gowon 's Nigerian troops who had the Support from UK , US , Russia (Soviet Union), and of course all ty the other tribal groups of the federation.

An estimated 1million Igbo lives were lost; a fair proportion of those died of starvation as Nigerian forces closed off off all ports and roads to supply us with food.

Ojukwu went into exile after the war ended and Igbo people returned to the rule of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

I was 6 years old by that time and old enough to understand and remember that the overwhelming mood of the Igbo people at that time, was relief that our suffering was over and that we had survived the war.

For his leadership Ojukwu remains an irrevocable leader and father in Igbo hearts and on his return from exile in 1983, he urged Igbos to accept Nigeria and work hard get their share of opportunities within federal Nigeria.

Chief Ojukwu died in 2011 age 78 having himself reintegrated into Nigeria's democratic system and even sought elected office.

Well done for creating this trending thread with no content. Whatsoever!

Ok. Why so many court cases?

Please why this news?
It's probably because he has no choice, no money for new vehicles.
In fact refurbishing vehicles when you are owing salaries, driving on bad roads, experiencing high unemployment is misplaced priority.

Yes she looks female. Shall we go and fry beans?

Who is she?

OP left out that it is in Boko haram zones

Army?

I concur, I don't get the poster's point either .

Maket:
Did PDP has majority leader in the senate??

I

Have you tried 9Mobile?

richie10k:
am so tired of them all,they are all scammers, the money this people trick me into spending every now and then is totally uncalled for, always failing to deliver as they promised.
If I calculate all the money they've taken from via their scam,my dear it's enough to start a cool business.
....am really tired

Or even abducts
This story weak me! Just imagine somebody's daughter going to school. SMH.

FortifiedCity:
Abducted you mean?

Abacha's state

Not no money.
You can say little money, but every business needs some money to start with.

Governor Wicked looking fitter and healthier I almost never recognised him.
Why has Osinbajo started galivanting upandan? Elections are over aren't they?

Airtel can promise but generally don't deliver.
They scammed me on data enough times that I no longer trust their promises.
However I think their social data plan is ok.

Really?
Why is this even news?

The trunk is not the elephants mouth so it cannot be said to be "sucking".
Smelling, sniffing or handling perhaps

Lol I am not surprised. Glo that is currently scamming me of my airtime, giving away free data? Impossible!

Danishguy:
This isn't free mb. The VPN app is giving away access to her premium foreign servers for tasks you perform for them using your OWN data.

Just don't get excited, the OP clearly doesn't understand what app he's promoting

All networks I have tried never deliver what they advertise. After getting your money they short change you.
I have experienced this with MTN, Airtel and Glo. I am about to check out 9Mobile
I willing to rather with a network that may advertise higher charges, but deliver what they promise. Anybody else agree with me?

She is female so why is this news?

Why she call herself that name? I am sure that is not what her parents named her.
