Ojukwu the chicken ran away after boasting he would be the last soldier to carry a rifle in Biafra, throwing out children and relief officials from an aircraft bound for Gabon in the process and hiding in Cote d'Ivoire for 12 years. The real hero was Philip Effiong who stood his ground, refused to run and put an end to the bloodshed, stating in his famous surrender speech that those who had made it difficult for negotiations to move on had quietly removed themselves from their midst. He ended up spending time in prison for his bravery. Today the coward is celebrated (Ojukwu) while the real man and the real hero who saved millions more lives by taking a bold step of knowing when the situation was hopeless is forgotten. What an irony. Thank you OP for reminding us. |

laudate:The war resulted from Biafrans decision to defend themselves from invading enemies Biafrans made their own decision during the war Ojuckwu as much as he was the leader was still bounded by the decision of biafrans Every action that biafrans took during the war was a Biafran decision Not an ojuckwu decision The war was about the biafra Not ojuckwu Biafrans take responsibility for every action by biafrans during that war |

donphilopus:oon this forum I concern myself with posting on topic and sometimes catch fun(flirt). Banters, insults and abuse appear to me as one of those things. But when someone take it so personal like some of these emotionally unstable people do, then it becomes a problem(to them) |

theDEVILisHERE:We have heard you. E don do. But stop telling part of the story. What was Ojukwu's role in Biafra?? Was he the cook or cleaner?? So why are you trying to gloss over the decisions he took, which affected the lives of millions including the soldiers under his command? Who rallied the South-East to fight, gave them ammunition and ordered them into battle?? Wasn't it Ojukwu?? So why are you trying to absolve him of responsibility, when he was not just the leader of Biafra but also the Commander-in-Chief?? ![]() Like I said before always tell the full story, biko. Every tale that has a beginning, also has an ending. And the incontrovertible truth is that Ojukwu ran for his dear life, when he saw the war was lost! He didn't care about the sick, suffering, dying and helpless people left behind in Biafra, at the end. No amount of white-washing can change that fact of history. There were witnesses to his departure and his flight. Period. ![]() stagger:True!! What Obong Philip Effiong did, took uncommon courage. Carrying out such a difficult decision in the face of such uncertainty, in order to prevent further bloodshed and save generations yet unborn, will always make him stand out as a great leader. ![]() |

janellemonae:You are a joker. If you want to blame anybody for the war, blame Gowon for going against the agreement he signed in Aburi, blame Nigeria for coming to down to the peaceful East to start shooting instead of negotiating. Blame your so called Nigeria for rushing to war as an answer to everything . |

meccuno:I hardly ever comment on nairaland but your comment struck me as illogical. If Awolowo is on a N100 note, that means he was considered as worthy of such honour before Zik because N100 was in existence before even N200 and N500 notes. And it was the highest denomination of the currency for a while. But who even cares? How does it matter? You belittle the legacies of every great man when you compare him to another |

bodashee:awo was a great man to the yorubas while ojukwu was a great man to the igbos..........what baffles me is when people disrespect these men......just to prove a point........the comparison might be illogical, but it should make a lot of sense to those who understand......why would a person open a thread for a reason and all of a sudden it becomes the story of how ojukwu is a coward!! |

Igbos Abandoned Philip Effiong Who Died A Biafra Rebel, Ojukwu Rewarded - Ekefre • Philip Effiong's 91st Posthumous Birthday Is Today • Ipob Replies Obong Attah : You Are Clueless,remember Philip Effiong • 2 • 3 • 4
Heavy Rain Triggers Flash Flood In Ekiti (pictures) • Shehu Shagari: Ex-president Jonathan arrives in Sokoto • 82 Boko Haram Fighters & Their Families Surrender To Army In Borno (Photos)

But you forgot to include the part where Ojukwu had said "in war even the grass will fight", before he turned tail and ran away some months later to Ivory Coast under the cover of darkness, abandoning the suffering and gallant people who had fought under him, and leaving his second-in-command to announce the surrender of the Biafran forces.
But stop telling part of the story. What was Ojukwu's role in Biafra?? Was he the cook or cleaner?? So why are you trying to gloss over the decisions he took, which affected the lives of millions including the soldiers under his command? Who rallied the South-East to fight, gave them ammunition and ordered them into battle?? Wasn't it Ojukwu??
