Just imagine how good a man Awolowo was.. despite the bitter war still ensured that Igbos living in South West before the civil war got their properties and rent collected on their behalf back in full.

I'm sure he advised Gowon to declare "no victor, no vanquished" after the war just to give Igbos hope and help them integrate back into the society.
It is this no victor nor vanquished that has given impetus to upstarts and criminals like Nnamdi Kanu and his apprentice Simon Ekpa.
Now every Monday week is a day for slaughtering their own people. You do not need to be a prophet or a seer to know that Ibo people will die at the hands of IPOB criminals this coming Monday because of a demented sit at home policy.....

You guys are funny... Massacring igbos was 100% sure way to justify the Biafra rebels

America was already mounting pressure on Nigeria to end the way... It was impossible that could have happened

Awolowo ko awolowo ni

Was awolowo a minister when the war ended?

Stop reading Yoruba propaganda
Victim mentality as usual.. go back and ask your parents how the war broke out.

Ojukwu committed treason by declaring biafra republic, then sent out soldiers to capture Mid West which he named 'Republic of Benin' and appointed an Igbo man as President despite David Ejoor's objections.. the biafrans still made attempt to capture South West with the hope of probably appointing an Igbo man as President over Yorubas.

Gowon was reluctant to act at first in response to Ojukwu's provocations but had no options when power brokers on the Nigerian side demanded that he act or step aside.. lo and behold, the blo0dy war started that claimed millions of lives in Nigeria.

Know your history son.

How Yoruba killing themselves led to the coupe that lead to the war... Of course I know I don't know that history

I reply less than 5% of their attacks. The notorious ones amongst them must be disgraced with facts .

They are known to be who they are, but there are some ego massaging we need to put a stop to once and for all

Some of them not all of them are Afibisuolore .(Ingrates)

Even though Agbala abi na Alagba Gabriel get his own issue, it would always be hypocritical the likes of Muideen, Auntie Ramota to be talking down on the guy. They were picked from the gutter Fcs, same way we accommodated those who are fleeing their regions

You didn't read the article well... Obafemi Awolowo is the singular reason the Igbo race hasn't gone extinct today.
Left for Northerners, all Igbos could die, they didn't care or give a damn.

This interview shows Awolowo as a great sage truly, who despite the lies and hate heaped at him, still helped Igbos get back on their feet after the war.

Shame on people like Kanayo O Kanayo peddling lies of £20 around.. this article revealed that Igbos actually got way more than that to the tune of millions of pounds to recover from their losses. Ungrateful set of people.
Is that an insult? Hopeless idiot.

Got along with migrants rushing to the West in those days. Maybe will get along again with the next generation when they realize there is better place to go than the West.

But this generation? It's a waste of time trying to get along with them. They are far gone from reality.

All the shakara about they want to go is busted. There's no other place they will enjoy the hospitality accorded to them in the West.

There are buses on their way to the West right right now!

In as much as awo has his fall he might be telling the truth. The Biafra soldiers might have really ambushed the red+ in other for them to have the strength and continue fighting. Remember what is happening in Gaza. The hamas always connered the relief being sent to the civilians population. The Biafrans civilians would be waiting for food but unable to get it because they the soldiers might have taken everything. The federal government will have no choice than to stop taking food to the civilians and that resulted to hunger and kwashiorkor. The federal government wants the war to end but it keeps prolonging. They will use any means to stop it. The Biafrans would do likewise if they had the opportunity. It was unprepared and senseless war by the Biafrans. I'm IGBO two but I can't side on the wrong side

I know that someday the Ibos, the masses of the Ibo people will realize who their friends are, and who their real enemies are. And the day that happens, woe betide those enemies. The Ibos will deal with them very roughly, very roughly.
