is like asking why is USA located in west Africa?

zenmaster:

we have heard

"But why do you need massive support from USA, UK, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Chad, Niger, Cameroon, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Syria etc just to be able to engage these supposed cowards ?"

zenmaster:

Ok.

Babalegba:
Stop repeating silly questions, it belittles your intelligence . Don't you think massive support from the countries you mentioned would have completely crushed Biafra irreparably

T9ksy:


What intelligence? You assumed too much, bro! Isn't it obvious ?

T9ksy:
^^^^ whats your point?

rabzy:


What do you call those who leave their comrades during the fight and run away...survivors abi

zenmaster:

Coward Gowon went on exile in 1975 or thereabouts na. . .

Why did Gowon not stay and face Muritala/Obasanjo, if he is not a coward ?

T9ksy:

If you have a functioning frontal lobe , you would have discern the difference in the two context.

T9ksy:

Suffice to say, Gowon didn't led millions of people into a gratuitious war that cost millions of lives on both sides of the divide before going into exile.

gidgiddy:
What was Gowon exactly hopping that Ojukwu would do? What kind of Soldier who is facing imminent death if captured will stay back to be killed when he has an escape route?

It would have been very stupid of Ojukwu to allow himself to be captured and killed by Nigeria when he had a way to escape.

Only a foolish Soldier will allow himself to be captured by his enemy when he has the option of escape

ProWalker:

Ojukwu pushed some gullible young Igbos to death, a fate that he could not take himself.

zenmaster:

[s]Gowon pushed many young Nigerian soldiers to their deaths.
A fate that Gowon could not take himself, when he ESCAPED to London; running away from Muritala + Obasanjo[/s]

Trash, stop trolling.

shukuokukobambi:


Going by this logic, all biafran soldiers who died in the civil war were all foolish as they could all have run away before the arrival of the federal forces. In fact, there would have been no war as they could have all run away before the first shots were fired!!

Gowon looking[/s] happy in exile ==>

Akissani:
Its in their DNA

ProWalker:


How many million died before Gowon accepting to go into exile.?
I know you want to troll which is the usual thing Ibo do when they are out of depth, but troll with a bit of common sense.

zenmaster:

Going by this logic, all Nigerian soldiers who died in the civil war were all foolish as they could have just waited to run away with Gowon their commander in 1975.
In fact, there would have been no war as they could have all waited for Gowon to exile himself in 1975, running from Muritala + Obasanjo

Guestlander:


Actually, those bootstrapping biafran soldiers who fought until there was no longer any options than laying down their arms were far braver than Ojukwu. Ojukwu was a spoilt brat who wanted to be a big fish in a small pond.

zenmaster:

[s]Many Nigerian soldiers died under Gowon's command na . . .
Abagana ambush killed almost 6,000 Nigerian soldiers for starters

Then Gowon ran away to go and drink orange juice in London[/s]

You are the archetypal Ibo troll

Gowon was an over-ambitious little boy who wanted to be commander-in-chief, but could not face his subordinates Muritala and Obasanjo

Guestlander:


Listening to Gowon anyone can see he was far more matured in his choice of words far greater than his age at that time. He spoke like someone who understood the tasks and challenges ahead of him. Unlike Ojukwu who kept bragging about the size and power of an army he never had.

shukuokukobambi:


you see why biafran logic of a 'runaway hero' is absurd in the land of thinking humans? Only cowards run away from a war they started!! So the biafran soldiers who died fighting in obedience to their master, ojukwu are true soldiers.
The ojukwu who ran away before the battle even got to his abode is a coward and Gowon who went on exile to UK from Uganda is also a coward because Idiagbon came back even after his govt was overthrown and OBJ also came back after being accused of complicity in a coup by abacha and you know what? They're both Yoruba
