Very revealing! Ojukwu was playing the high moral game having seen that that’s how it’s played in advanced countries, but he was playing with chameleons who had no business with nation building, only interested in ethnic agenda

Utter nonesense.

The Yoruba General had since said he wanted nothing to do with the army after barely escaping being assassinated by Ifeanjuna and co.

.
Did the General ask Ojukwu to fight for him?
.ojukwu wanted heirachy so that he and not Gowon will replace Ironsi.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
Coming from someone scrapping through the trash heap of lies that is IBB's book to seek a revisionist narrative.



We are the point were your lies are not even entertained .

The only reason we counter you here is so that others now and in the future who stumble upon such nonesense attempts at revisionism towards reinforcing the Ibo perpetual victimhood narrative do not fall for such gimmicks.

Chief, IBB fought in a war and rendered his accounts of what happened.

But you here who was probably not born then could come to social media space to counter him with conjectures?

If you were not a chief without a Chiefdom, you would have seen the futility of your useless narratives.

I read that Ojukwu opposed the ascension of Gowon preferring that military hierarchy was followed strictly and diligently and the Babatunde Ogundipe should be tye next president, before things went sour .

In this context Ojukwu is wrong. You can dedict to those that came out victorious in a military putsch on who to lead them. In fact the putschist may choose to choose a Sergeant to lead them!!

Agbadorians have been on overdrive to protect their lies ever since IBB book launch, running even when nobody is chasing

horsepower102:
Will the current Igbo generation ever learn from these mistakes.

It’s time to focus on Igbo only interests.

Trying to do the right thing in Nigeria has never benefited Ndigbo

Fact.



Ojukwu crime was not taking orders from Gowon by insisting that a yoruba man take his right position instead Gowon.
They even later joined north to fight Ojukwu who's asking for the right to be done.


I know this for long.


But evil things from waste will never mention that part of history.

David Ejoor's summation about events leading to the war remain the only narrative I will accept and not this known liar.


Ejoor had escaped being murdered on three occasions. The first attempt on his life was at Lagos on January 15 and by Ifeanjuna who stormed the hotel room he(ifeanjuna) had booked for Ejoor at Ikoyi hotel. By sheer luck, Ejoor had requested a change of his room owing to a noisy air-conditioning unit.

Another attempt was made on his life at Enugu by Ojukwu who attempted to use the Police in Enugu to have Ejoor arrested and murdered.

The third failed attempt was at Benin by disloyal Igboid officers who were loyal to Ojukwu and Biafra and under direct command and instructions from Ojukwu to have Ejoor captured dead or alive.


Ejoor's memoir are the most honest because he was at several times slated for elimination for no other reason than that he was the highest ranking southern minority officer whom ojukwu knew would oppose the continued annexation of minority people in the old eastern region and oppose Biafra incursion into the Midwest

Also note that IBB has an axe to grind with the Yoruba race who have been the ones dragging him over June 12. Even Abacha does not elicit such condemnation from the Yorubas as that IBB has been suffering from since 1993.

Ojiofor:
Trying to do the right things and follow dues process in Nigeria is the worst mistake ndi Igbo has made in past.We should be transactional in our dealings with other Nigerians.

The only reasonable thing I have read from you here.

In the military, in the absence of the most senior commander, the next biggest ranking officer takes charge. Ojukwu already knew that Ironsi had been killed, even if Gowon would not admit it. Ojukwu insisted that in the absence of Ironsi, the next highest ranking officer, Brigadier Babafemi Ogundipe, should take over

Ojukwu urged Ogundipe to declare himself head of State. But as the coward he was, Ogundipe jumped into the booth of a car, smuggled him self to Benin Republic, then made his way to London

Ogundipe was the appointed Nigerian Ambassador to the UK where he did everything possible to help Britain support Gowon to fight Biafra

Why won't ojukwu insist on heirachy when it will see to him assuming the title of HoS?

FreeStuffsNG:
He has written his own denial but we owe posterity to keep the facts for posterity.

oh so you where there with them....i had no idea...............who killed Murtala muhammed? who killed Abiola? who killed General Bako .........why did Nigeria go ahead and massacre the ethnic groups of the persons behind those murders? why did Nigerians go ahead and massacre Dimka's langtang tribe seeing that he killed a popular head of sate....Oga stop supporting evil...so that your generation will know peace!

Ogundipe should remain in an undisciplined army that had witnessed 2 coups in less than a year ?

If Ogundipe had assumed power , Ojukwu would have still go ahead to plot a coup against him.

Not entirely true. Nigeria practiced Regionalism back then and the coup plotters were only successful in the Nothern and Western Region, but not in the East or Mid-West. Therefore, Ojukwu and East could choose not to recognise Gowon

Gandollar:
What about the Igbo officer that gunned down another Igbo officer in the presence of his pregnant wife according to IBBs book?

Your cherry picking the points that suit your narrative would only continually deceive and mislead your generation born and unborn, QED.

No mind that full.

Ojukwu was lucky he wasnt in the north or western Nigeria of else he would've been one of the first to be eliminated.


From the day Gowon assumed power , Ojukwu's leg never stepped foot outside his yeast other than guaranteed safe visits to Abure , Ghana.

Ejoor had given his loyalty to Gowon so don't spew trash here.

The non Igboid people of the then Midwest were staunchly in support of Nigeria and Gowon .

Don't lie. They were neutral even after the coup, counter coup and pogrom.

Some of the were sympathetic to the igbo cause. It was after the Midwest invasion that made ejoor to change his mind and support Gowon.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
After it was an open secret that the Yoruba General who had emerged as the most senior officer following the execution of Ironsi had made it clear that he did not want to be HoS.

Ojukwu was simply challenging Gowon's emergence as HoS on the premise that he was not the most senior officer next in line.

Guess who Ojukwu wanted to replace Ironsi - himself.

Ojukwu told you this? You were there like IBB was?

stanluiz:

Some of the were sympathetic to the igbo cause. It was after the Midwest invasion that made ejoor to change his mind and support Gowon.

The Midwest under Ejoor had activated Decree 8 which Gowon passed to replace Ironsi dissatrous decree 34.

Decree 8 called for regional armies and that's why Ojukwu was allowed to still be in control of the army in the old eastern region.

Under decree 8, Ejoor declared neutrality in going against the secessionist in the eastern region and refused federal troops to invade Biafra via the Midwest.

But did Ojukwu respect the neutrality of the Midwest ? No.

Seeing that majority of the men and officers under Ejoor were from the Ibo speaking parts of present day northern Delta state, ojukwu decided to violate the neutrality of the Midwest and had his goons invade same Midwest with active help from the treacherous Midwest ibos under Ejoor.

Elusive001:

See the more you lie to yourselves, the more you make it harder for Nigerians to trust you.

He didn't change history; he merely stated the facts.

Yes, they were all bowing to the North like slaves, but Ojukwu and his people were not about to join them in that a$$ licking venture

It was the Nigerian/ Biafran War, Ojukwu was entitled to invade anywhere that was part of Nigeria

And when the Yoruba man refused , Ojukwu will then say he is to be made HoS.

It may be hard for your brain to understand, but Ojukwu was actually fighting to get away from you people

As a senior is it not the right thing?

kettykin:

Ogundipe could see the handwriting on the wall, why should he ascend a throne when bloodthirsty Ndi North officers were looking to kpai non-Northerners? Would Ojukwu had fed his family, look at how Obidients are minimising Fajuyi's sacrifice for Aguyi-Ironsi.

Also, people should remember that despite being the most senior person in the army, an ordinary sergeant of northern extraction had refused orders from him and blatantly told him he was only accepting orders from Northern officers. This was just about the start of the return match and the Army were trying to understand how to respond.

Immediately after things settled, he ran off to become a military Attache to the high commission in the UK and I believe refused to return to the country repeatedly.

Please Obidients, leave Ogundipe out of it.
