Your IPOB list never added any value to development of Igboland.
List their achievement to warrant them being there.A general that went to war and lost is not considered a hero in other cultures only in Igboland.

Ojukwu for me

I don’t have your time.
If you are talking about Odumegwu Ojukwu then you don’t know what sacrifices means…. Dude lost it all trying to fight for his people,yes the odd was against him yet he gave his best if you think it’s easy go and try

The greatest Ibo man

Is Nnmadi Kanu and Simeon Ekpa

Life is not one way, smart people choose a safer way.To fight wasn't the only option when you know the odds are against you.
Those who advised him not to fight because the odds was against us was tagged SABO and executed same thing is happening today and we are still getting the same result.
You do not have anything to list as their achievement in Igboland than they tried their best and failed?
And you omitted those who tried and left a positive legacy from generations to generation.

It's either Azikiwe or Ojukwu?

Was Jaja of Opobo an Igbo man?

We cannot answer this question with a single name, I will try to answer the question based on different life categories and endeavors.


When it comes to Nigerian political achievement it is Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe the first and only indigenous Governor General of Nigeria, the first President of Nigeria, and the first leader of Nigerian Parliament.


Followed by Dr Alex Ekwueme the first Vice President of Nigeria.

Followed by Chief Nwafor Orizu the first Senate President of Nigeria.


When it comes to military achievement, it is Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi the first Chief of Army Staff in Nigeria and the first Military Head of State of Nigeria, followed by Brig. General Amanda Azubuike the first black female General in US Army and first Nigerian army general in the US.

If it is in military bravery, then its Maj. Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu followed by Maj. Onwuatuegwu, Philip Anofuru, Don Okafor, etc.


If it's in freedom fighting and fighting for Igbo recognition, it is Col. Odimegwu Ojukwu aka Ikemba followed Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


If it's in international politics, its Chief Emeka Anyaoku the first african to become Secretary General of Commonwealth of Nations. Followed by Edward Jenkins Roye Emeka the 5th President of Republic of Liberia, followed by Omar Bongo Ndidi the longest serving ex President of Gabon.


If it's in religion, its Cardinal Arinze the first African to contest for Pope and Father Tansi the first person to become a Saint in Nigeria.


If it's in literature, then its Prof Chinua Achebe followed by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, then Cyprian Ekwensi.


If it's in academics, then its Prof Chike Obi the first Nigerian to become a PhD holder in Mathematics, followed by Prof Philip Emeagwali the first Nigerian to develop a computer programming language used all over the world (the connecting machines) acclaimed as one of the makers of computer in the world and many others I cant remember now.



If it's in business, wealth and entrepreneurship then its Sir Luis Ojukwu the first documented black billionaire and first richest man in west Africa and Nigeria.


If it's in manufacturing then we should be looking at Mr Innoson owner of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing company and many others.


If we are to look at it from the Aviation industry aspect, then its Capt. Chinyere Kalu the first female pilot in Nigeria.


followed by Allen Onyema owner of Air Peace.


If we are to look at it from the sports aspect, then its Chioma Ajunwa the first African Olympic Gold Medalist. Followed by Kanu Nwankwo, Austin Jay Jay Okocha and many others.


If it's in engineering invention then its Dr Ezekiel Izuogu the first Nigerian to actually design and produce a car in Nigeria.

In all this, you never mentioned Ngozi okonjo iwehala and prof Dora akuyili

lolz if someone raised his finger to poke your eyes will you start finding ways or rather defend yourself?

Survival is a natural impulse,if you read history you wouldn’t judge Ojukwu,anyone in his shoe wouldn’t have sat and watch the unjust killings of his people(unless the person is a coward).
Ojukwu crime was defending his people,i bet he would still commit that same crime any day anytime.

We Baifrans are proud of him and all the heroes and heroines who sacrificed for the life of ndi Igbo today.

you were once a well respected individual. These days, there's only a thin difference between you and ronu miscreants.

He should keep on following dialogue when trailers of the corpse of his people are coming home every day especially from the north, paying the price for a coupe he was never part of.

Sometimes, use your sense.

PlayMaker14:
Your first reply to me, you stated that you need to be slapped for not recognizing Prof. Chinua Achebe...
