And he still cowardly ran away after posing like Agbani Darego on the chair.
In your best dream you will probably never achieve a quarter of the level he got to!

The same swag that got more than 3 million Igbo people killed, while the great one escape to ivory coast before the war ended.
How does it concern you? to us Igbo Ojukwu is a hero.

Ojukwu died a hero!!!
For those screaming he ran away, I won't blame una, y'all are probably ignorant of history, war and what it entails, ojukwu was betrayed he had to go for exile out of bitterness and agony, however if you understand war you will know that it's a big shame n heavier fall for the head warrior to be captured dead or alive most especially alive (Adolf Hitler n others as case study), imagine what would have been the fate of the great igbos if ikemba was captured.

He who fights and run away lives to fight another day..

As for Nnamdi kanu's case, my instinct tells me that man will shock the world soon. I believe he's somewhere preparing and Reenforcing for a heavy comeback.

wow. see boss pose.

To think Generals Ojukwu and Gowon were just around 33 at the time, as well as most of the other actors in their late 20s and early 30s makes one wonder what ever happened to today's youth.
Have you ever thought, maybe that's why they mismanaged the situation which led to the war.
If more experienced and matured men were in power, maybe, there wouldn't have been any war in the first place

Owelle Azikiwe warned this bearded coward but he didn't hear. He got 3M Igbos killed but not a single person in his family died.

He ran away with his children only for a SS man to be brace enough to surrender.

He came back, married his friend's teenage daughter and collected FG pension when soldiers who fought under him hadn't collected a penny.

He's a smart man, the joke's on those supporting Ojukwu while their own fathers died of starvation after eating millipedes, lizards and houseflies.

Lol
We don't breed cowards, Ojukwu was a coward and your fathers were foolish to fight under him. It is just unfortunate that people who saw through his folly were forcefully conscripted into his army.
Ojukwu never collected any pension till his death. It's was after his death that he was paid his pension, along with all other igbo soldiers who were previously under the Nigerian govt. You are not igbo. If u were igbo, u would have understood what ojukwu fought for even though he was not perfect. Igbos were being killed all over the country. the country failed in its basic duty - protection of all lives and property. The real coward is not ojukwu, the real cowards are people like u. Today Fulani herdsmen have killed more people in middle-belt than the igbos that were killed which caused the war. So who's the fool and coward. What could be more cowardly than watching your people die while still crying for empathy from the FG? What could be more foolish than laughing at a man who predicted your annihilation a year earlier? Well guess who's laughing now Nigeria, guess who's laughing.

chuksanambra needs to be urgently visited by herdsmen and herdswomen.

The real lesson here is that Nigeria will continue to be a devil workshop ....where the citizens will be begging for Ghanaian visa...

The fact here is that all those in the middle belt who fought against this man will forever regret it ....

The real lesson here is learn not to be short sighted..
sum up the number of casualties from Fulani herdsmen and ethnic clashes in the southwest since 1960 is definitely not up to 50,000 yorubas. your hero sacrificed over a million ibos over a phantom Biafra dream that didn't come to pass. war is not always the answer.

war should only be fought when it's unavoidable!!!

yorubas avoided the war as much as possible and we don't regret our decision.

Afonjas are just pained because they don't have a hero figure. Their two wannabe heroes (abiola & awolowo) both died of poison/rat poison - such a pathetic & wussy way to go.

You are not fighting any war yet 50,000 of your people have been killed just like that. OMG ur cowardice is legendary, you bring a new definition to the word coward

Among the Nigerians soldiers of old, Ojukwu was on a different class, level and charisma.
And that was why the others loathed him.

It's purely psychological.
You envy or hate something far above you.
Re: Ojukwu Addressing A Press Conference During The Civil War (Throwback Photo) by gidgiddy: 1:01pm On May 14, 2018
These people that say Ojukwu ran away, most of them have never fought a war for independence for 3 years like Ojukwu did

But what makes me laugh is that they actually think Ojukwu should have presented himself to his enemies to be slaughtered.


What kind of person will see his enemies about to surround and kill him but stay back to slaughtered? Only a very foolish man will do such a thing

I'm not Igbo because I don't share your foolishness?
I guess Zik of Africa is also not Igbo because he didn't agree with Ojukwu's foolishness.

Ojukwu fought Nigeria but his wife came back to collect ambassadorial position to represent Nigeria overseas.

Anyone who died for Biafra after the civil war ended died for nothing. 3M Igbos have died, it's the turn of his children.

I'm not sure anyone in your entire family with your lineage put together if you will ever have any, can and will ever come close to a quarter to the man Ojukwu was inspite of his flaws... let's tell ourselves the truth.
and the truth is he was a failure, fighting a war that he so much knew that the was no way he was going to win

Nigerian youths and stupidity. The British people will be laughing at the stupidity of current generation of Nigerian youth for not being smart and forever foolish.

The Biafran war was Biafra-British war for the control of the large deposit of oil and gas in the present-day Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The British people want free and easy access to these resources while the biafrans will be an obstacle to this unrestricted access. So the British, using fellow black men as footsoldiers, had to punish the biafrans for their 'selfishness' and zeal to control and manage their resources.

Without oil and gas in Nigeria, there will be no Biafran war. Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas, etc, should stop fighting themselves while the real enemies are laughing at them.
