Ojukwu rejected Gowon and insisted he wasn't the most senior officer so he can take over after Ironsi's kidnap. So its funny when you say Ojukwu had committed no crime, rejecting the authority of your supposedly superior is a crime for men in uniform. Yet the supposedly superior went to Aburi to negotiate with his junior?

Furthermore you claim coup plotters were in Enugu, those you called 'mutineers', in other words you agree there was a heirachy which was under Ojukwu's command yet the same heirachy was set aside to release the prisoners in Calabar and there was no repercussion on those that ignored it?

Ogunewe who you keep mention in Enugu, who was he reporting to Or you think he locked up armoury at his own discretion?? Until you start telling your self the truth, you won't learn.

Moreover if Ojukwu was not in total control of the East as you want us to believe how was he able to negotiate repatriation of troops to their state of origin? Or Gowon chose to negotiate with someone hiding inside a police station

Finally stop emphasizing on the timing because for Ojukwu that was the best time too, having failed to get a Yoruba coward who ran off to UK as high commissioner to take his rightful place as the supreme commander, he had to try the almighty Awolowo. Unfortunately Awolowo disappointed too.

dudebuck:
yes he ran away, and that is what we Yoruba Muslims were thought on the pages of newspapers, instead of learning our true history from schools like kids in other climes.

FYI ojukwu wanted to meet Houphouet boigni of CIV in person, but he was so occupied that ojukwu had to go to CIV, but on getting there, boigni went on a mission to Cameroon, so he had to wait, so after wasting much time, waiting for his host, the great number 2 man had signed the surrender papers, it was more of lack of communication that led to that decision, BTW how has Nigeria fared? any better, your guess is as good as mine

Superior people who hunted and ate each other! I can only imagine if they were savages.

Ojukwu the man who led thousands of Ibos to war with empty words,promises and boasts when indeed he had no weapons to fight the war
