My friend you are far too young to be stupiid. read history and know why Biafrans lost the war. left for Nigeria alone, Biafrans would have destroyed them... As far as history is concerned, the coded genocide called civil war was between Biafra and the world powers namely; Israel, USA, France, Russia and Cameroun... yes i mentioned Cameroun because they had a deal with the Nigerian government and France to annex the oil-rich Bakassi to Cameroun in order to serve as a conduit route to smuggle in weapons..... History is beautiful.... it reveals a lot hence the Federal Government of Nigeria placed a ban on it.

Modified...... Mind you am not Igbo.... but just saying the crystal truth.

lol you hate to admit it but Awo brought up the idea of the starvation policy.

You need to stop repeating this Biafra propaganda. Awolowo was a civilian and a finance minister DT had no business wt military strategy.

He did not carry out any starvation policy. That was done by military leaders and commanders. You can Google all their names. If u really think some politician dt came out from prison could have bn controlling angry and powerful military officers who were then in control of d country and acting wt impunity all over d place, u must really be brainwashed. In fact I don't even think Gowon had a handle on his military officers, not to talk of awolowo.

Awolowos master stroke of genius was CHANGING THE CURRENCY after d CBN looting. I believe DT contributed immensely in ending d war and made ojukwu hate him for life.

Awo brought up the starvation policy. I feel your pain but the truth is always there for all to see grin

[Ojukwu used his father's wealth to prosecute the Biafran war. All of it]

Ojukwu senior was a rich man, no doubt about that but there were quite a number of stupendously rich rich Nigerians at the time. There is no evidence that he was or wasn't the richest Nigerian or African of it's just hearsay. Just as it was said Abiola was a billionaire but there is nothing to show he was a billionaire beyond tales by campfire. We Africans have a habit of overstating our wealth, most of the people we call billionaires are only Naira billionaires. I dont think you people understand what it means to be a billionaire. There are people who are not worth $40m who are riding around in leased private jets.

In any event all these people are dead, we should focus our energies on making our own if that's your goal in life.

Before I go though, if Ojukwu senior was really worth all that much then, what happenned to it all. How does a business man amass a fortune worth $40b in today's money and you don't have $1b in your estate today one generation after your passing? If you were a govt contractor I can understand because these people didnt make their money by building anything but not a business man like Ojukwu. It tells me he probably never had that kind of money to begin with or maybe just a case of a blind country and a one eyed king.[/quote]

1966 is not a long time, no way he was worth 40 billion, what's your source??

I never said that Sir Louis Ojukwu was worth 40 billion, I said what he would have been worth it in today's money. To give you an example, in 1956 the Queen visited Nigeria. The Government had to borrow Sir OJukwu's Rolls Royce to carry Queen around. Less than 800 of that type of Rolls Royce were ever made. If Sir Ojukwu still had that Rolls Royce today, it could be worth millions of Dollars.

Baba Olufemi Olutoye was the first graduate to join Nigeria Army in the year 1956 . Ojukwu joined in the year 1957

You are wrong about that. Olutoye said in an interview that when he enquired about joining the Army as a graduate , he was told that that Ojukwu had also had joined the same way. Olutoye,Obasunjo, Nzeogwu were the class of officers that were commissioned inyo the Army in 1960. Ojukwu was commissioned in 1957 ( although his commission date was backdated to 1955) . Ojukwu was far senior to Olutoye.

You are a researcher. I was surprised when I found out about the billionaire called Mansa Musa from Mali. In the entire world was only John D Rockefeller that has been richer than him.
