Ofodirinwa:
Only an animal will think a universal icon like Ojukwu who shook the continent of Africa and world as the head of state of a free black republic is comparable to Awolowo, a career politician and serial election loser that settled for secretary of state.

Only a FOOLISH animal would asslick a fool who wasted 3 million lives and ran away as a coward who even then begged for pardon and lost EVERY SINGLE ELECTION he ran for in the same country he fought against

Strikethem:
Lol, babangida now a god to igbos hehehehehe. A fight without winning, is that one a fight. Since I have been reading about Mandela, never read the part where he run from battle. Even efunsetan aniwura never ran away despite fighting the whole of Ibadan.

Strikethem:
If you rally paid for education, then you are a disgrace. Biased, what is biased, what did ojukwu achieved, tell us here since you paid for education. And thank you for mentioning of of awolowo's achievements, which is free education of your your people benefitted from, bit your coward ojukwu could not give you free education but death and pain. Center the thread by listing ojukwu's achievements or shut up.

ItzChinnex:


You need school in your life, not these rubbish childish display you're exhibing here trying to should obnoxious. With all these grammatical blunders, I believe you're a product of Awo's free education.

Turantula:

Is true that your demigod Awo drank sniper or is it rat poison?

BlackMbakara1:
Truth be told, they both wanted the best for their people and did their best...

Just that one was a nationalist and the other was a tribal leader...

One started a war without a well thought strategy and ended up wasting the lives of his tribal peeps...the other gave him a mortal combat edging "finish him".

One claim to be a soldier but ran away as a coward when it mattered most and the other a civilian died by his own hand(brave man, takes guts to do that).

One came back and disgraced himself by not getting a million vote from his tribes men(i guess he was not to be trusted) and died wrapped in the same flag he was fighting against and even collected pension and other entitlement(case of going back to your vomit...no principle).

One empowered his people through education as a regional governor while the other

In summary, one is greater than the other in character, principle and otherwise...you choose.

Strikethem:
And if I may ask you, why did ojukwu ran away? Awolowo was a bloody civilian that ended ojukwu's dream. Else, your fathers would have been a forgotten one today. And you never wonder why God punished him with senile death?

Liliyann:
It is not only an insult but a great disrespect to try to even compare the great and mighty Ojukwu to Awolowo.
Ojukwu the fearless and brave leader of biafras
Awolowo is nothing but a coward and a disgrace to all the Yoruba race!!

Dereformer:


A good soldier fights and lives to fight again. That was what led Ojukwu to flee.

Now answer me, why did awolowo take his own life when he faced ordinary threat from Babangida?

luwabrooklyn:
a great leader will never bend his will or surrender to the enemy but when all is lost they commit suicide From Hitler to Spartacus to Awolowo

thatigboman:
so u agree that awolowo committed suicide. Nice one.
What about gani, tinubu and fellow NADECO chieftains from yoruba extraction that fled the country for their dear lives when Abacha wanted to pay them home visit one after the other. What say you?

Awolowo (may his heartless soul continue to burn in hell) would have rot in jail if not that Ojukwu freed him. The backstabber, coward, tribalist awolowo then did what his people are very well known for

Strikethem:
Yes, it is a great insult to humanity to compare Awolowo to ojukwu. Let me analyse both of their lifetime.

OBAFEMI AWOLOWO
He enrolled at the University of London as an External Student and graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Commerce (Hons.). He went to the UK in 1944 to study law at the University of London and was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple on 19 November 1946.[4][6]

Apart from his face being on 100 Naira notes, some other achievements of the late sage who hailed from Ikenne, Ogun State are catalogued below;

1.) He named Nigeria’s national currency as ‘Naira’ when he was the Federal Commissioner for Finance. The late sage took the name of Nigeria and collapsed it as ‘Naira’

2.) Awolowo introduced free primary education for all and free health care for children in the Western Region.
3. )He established the first television station in Africa in 1959.

4. )He also erected the first skyscraper in tropical Africa:the Cocoa House (still the tallest in Ibadan).

5.) Awo as fondly called was conferred by President Shehu Shagari with the title of the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR), the first and only non-president to be so honoured in recognition of his sterling qualities and contributions to the service of the country.

6.) He was the first individual in the modern era to be named Leader of the Yorubas (Yoruba: Asiwaju Omo Oodua), a title which has come over time to be conventionally ascribed to his successors as the recognized political leader of the Yoruba peoples of Nigeria.

7.) The man widely believed by admirers to be the best President Nigeria never had was the first Leader of Government Business and Minister of Local Government and Finance and first Premier of the Western Region under Nigeria’s parliamentary system, from 1952 to 1959.

8.) In 1949 he founded the Nigerian Tribune, the oldest surviving private Nigerian newspaper, which he used to spread nationalist consciousness among his fellow Nigerians.

9.) The party he founded, Action Group was the first to move the motion for Nigeria’s independence in the federal parliament and he obtained internal self-government for the Western Region in 1957.

10.) The University of Ife was renamed Obafemi Awolowo University on 12 May 1987 in honour of Chief Obafemi Awolowo first premier of the Western Region of Nigeria, whose brainchild the university was.

In 1992, the Obafemi Awolowo Foundation was founded as an independent, non-profit, non-partisan organisation committed to furthering the symbiotic interaction of public policy and relevant scholarship with a view to promoting the overall development of the Nigerian nation. The Foundation was launched by the President of Nigeria at that time, General Ibrahim Babangida, at the Liberty Stadium, Ibadan.[12] However, his most important bequests (styled Awoism) are his exemplary integrity, his welfarism, his contributions to hastening the process of decolonisation and his consistent and reasoned advocacy of federalism-based on ethno-linguistic self-determination and uniting politically strong states-as the best basis for Nigerian unity.


CHUKWUEMEKA ODUMEGWU OJUKWU
Emeka Ojukwu started his secondary school education at CMS Grammar School, Lagos aged 10 in 1943.[10] He later transferred to King's College, Lagos in 1944 where he was involved in a controversy leading to his brief imprisonment for assaulting a white British colonial teacher who humiliating a black woman. This event generated widespread coverage in local newspapers.
At 13, his father sent him overseas to study in the United Kingdom, first at Epsom College and later at Lincoln College, Oxford University, where he earned a master's degree in History. He returned to colonial Nigeria in 1956.
Ojukwu joined the civil service in Eastern Nigeria as an Administrative Officer at Udi, in present-day Enugu State. In 1957, within months of working with the colonial civil service, he left and joined the military as one of the first and few university graduates to join the army as a recruit: O. Olutoye (1956); C. Odumegwu-Ojukwu (1957), Emmanuel Ifeajuna and C. O. Rotimi (1960), and A. Ademoyega (1962).
Ojukwu was the Leader of Biafra seccesionist
He had contested as presidential candidate of his party, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the last three of the four elections. Until his illness, he remained the party leader. The party was in control of two states in and largely influential amongst the Igbo ethnic area of Nigeria.
Ojukwu was named after anambra state university and Memorial International Library and Convention Centre located in owerri.

For anyone to compare the two people above needs his or head checked. They are not mate, and can never be mate. Awolowo achieved many things, What did ojukwu achieved? He even lost election even in his hometown. Thanks.

DerideGull:


For all intents and practical purposes, you are the fellow who should get your psychotic head examined. Heaven knows where you cull this crap because the dates and narratives were silky at best. At the least , the poster of the above junk should have embarked on rudimentary research before allowing his or her ethical bias to control. No wonder Nigeria is moronically adrift when thinking beings tout the raising of concrete and steel as well as naming an idiotic currency born out wickedness as an achievement.
