[s]Sorry bro but secession is not prelude to war. That a people seceded does not mean that only war can be employed to resolve the issue. Gowon could have gone for a second Aburi meeting, discussions, referendum. Of all the peaceful ways Gowon could have gone about Biafra, he chose war as his first and last resort

Adebayo was a signatory to the Aburi agreement, he signed on behalf of the the Western Nigeria. Yet he could never call Gowo out for breaking the agreement they all signed in Ghana.

Personally, I think Adebayo was a good man and a fine officer, but his docility is shocking.

Adebayo should have been the first Military President of an independent Oduduwa Republic.

Instead, he was reduced to saluting Gowon who was far his junior in the Army.

What a pity that only Ojukwu had the guts to stand up to Northern domination[/s]

, abeg take am easy with that guy. he will soon do ojukwu for you cos you are dissecting him already.

Intrepid01:
Some people are just eternally dump. So seceding and sending soldiers to capture Lagos by Ojukwu isn't a signal to the beginning of War. In the past I used to wander why you people have refused to think and call a spade a spade but lately I have come to understand that deeply rooted in an Ibo man's DNA ( even Igbokwe confirmed it) is a "blame them all but me syndrome" , "even when I'm wrong, they caused it" syndrome. Only few Igbos have come out publicly to blame Ojukwu for plunging them in to a war they never had the capacity for.

Imagine, a chest beater that is self centered, you even said Adebayo missed the chance to become the first Military President, what a useless thinking, your thinking is similar to that of Ojukwu and that stupid thinking led to the death of millions of people. Not until when you people start thinking properly, your miserable situation won't change. gerrarahia

-W[s]hat exactly did Nigerians fought for?

-I guess, to maintain white man's colonial post by all means, at the expense of African lives.

-Do you think Europeans would do same for Africans, if in same situation?[/s][s][/s]

AkinPhysicist:
Thrash. Adebayo's 'docility' sparred the lives of his people. Meanwhile Ojukwu (the coward)'s chestbeating resulted in the slaughter of 3 million Igbos.

Answer this question mumuni: what percentage of the Nigerian Military was Northern at the time?

Go and get help - you are finished.

My only criticism of him was that as a signatory to the Aburi agreement, he should have spoken up for the western Region when Gowon broke the Agreement by dissolving the 4 Regions and creating 12 states. General Adebayo was senior to Gowon. It is unfortunate that he, along with the Yoruba nation, just could never stand up to Northerners. Adebayo, as Military Governor of the Western Region did not sleep in Government House because he was scared that he might be killed like Fajuyi. A Yoruba man who could not sleep in his official residence in his own land out of fright of the Northerners!

Now, I see you are a fool. Only a fool will take a knife to a gun-fight. Only a fool will dive head-first down a high cliff and still hopes to survive. Only a fool will start a war that he can't win. This is the story of you Igbos. Head-strong fools, who have never learnt from their history. Keep fooling yourselves. Keep passing that foolish gene to your children - and guarantee that they will indeed continue to be slaves. Ndi ara!

Rubbish. Now, let me grant you that this rubbish you posted is true. Now, why would Ojukwu be so stupid to go into a war that would result in the death of 3 million of his own people? If the war ONLY benefited the colonial masters wishes, why would he be so willing to sacrifice 3 million souls?

I would rather commit 3 million lives in a fight for freedom than accept slavery out of fear. Thats how important freedom is for some people

At least Ojukwu fought 3 years before running away. Compare that to Adebayo, Ogundipe and Obasunjo. 3 Yoruba military leaders who surrendered to Northerners not only without a fight, but without an atom of protest.

They should have tried fighting to at least get to Ojukwus stage.

1. What a useless narrative. Biafra was NEVER about freedom. Rather Biafra was the 'military' pet project of a narcissistic mediocre military officer who felt he was better than everybody else.

2. And even if I grant you this nonsensical/naive narrative - tell me: After wasting 3 million souls are you still in slavery?

kingzizzy:
A fool does not aspire to be free or to freedom. Freedom is an honourable thing to fight, and if need be, die for.
I wouldnt expect you to understand what I mean. There are some people who's brain has been conditioned to accept slavery
