[b] One of the greatest lessons of life could be found in the Champions League Match between Liverpool and Barcelona of yesterday.

After the first leg, majority of people and football pundits (myself inclusive) easily predicted that Liverpool could win the second leg but would not qualify to the final, but the world and football is always full of surprises and that was what the world witnessed yesterday.

*Five Bitter Lessons from the Match*

1). No matter the odd that is staked against you, *never give up*.
Ask Salah why did he put on a shirt with the inscription *"Never Give Up"* even when his team was down by 3 goals from first leg, yet he went to the stadium with faith and hope.

2). Pride goes before a fall, ask Messi who had a clear chance to score to make it one-one but decided to entertain the crowd by dribbling away from goal, thereby losing the one glorious chance that would have been vital to their survival.

3) Never underrate your opponent, no matter how bruised he or she might have been. Barcelona believed that without Salah and Firmino, Liverpool do not have the required firepower to stage a surprise, but the remaining boys proved them wrong.

4). In the moment of battle, never attack half way or reserve your best for the opportune time as this might become a disaster to you.

5).The opinion of others don't count what counts is what you believe in. Liverpool believed that they can never walk alone, and they showed the world the stuff they are made off.
You see, life is never favourable to anyone, you just get to get up and tell yourself daily, I am gonna make it. Just as Aary Stark told the Woman of Light in the *_Game of Thrones_* when she was asked what would she tell the _god of death_, she replied *Not Today*. Liverpool told the world and those who wrote them off...NOT TODAY. so when failure comes knocking on your door reply like the Liverpool players and Aary Stark.. NOT TODAY.
You are formed for something great, so rise up and defeat whoever stands on your way [/b]

Babatunde my dear Yoruba Muslim brother, why did your skull decide to forget Col. Banjo's name as the leader of the Biafran army at Ore enroute to Lagos. Is it because Banjo is our Yoruba brother?

eyeview:


You really need to read the history books, you will just realise that you will do the same thing Ojukwu did. The man never wanted a war. He and gowon went to Aburi in Ghana where the Aburi peace accord was signed. He believed there was peace and room for further discussions. The next few days later, he received news that Nigerian soldiers had started advancing against the biafra region from north central and South west. Gowon had let himself to be influenced by the northern officers and traditional rulers. It wasn't what they discussed but the man had to mobilise and defend a fight with an army he barely had time to put together.

Not necessarily...the idea was to open up a war on two fronts for the Nigerian Army

At the start of the Civil War in 1967, the Midwest Region was neutral and the war was being fought on the Biafran northern border. As a result, the Biafran Army opened up a second front by capturing the Midwest region...which was lightly defended, entering the Western region, capturing Ore, with Lagos being in their sights (a creek-borne invasion was planned)

This invasion had two effects

1.It tipped the Western region to the Federal side (previously they were kind of neutral).

2.It forced Gowon to declare total war, form a total war cabinet, and begin to fight seriously

The Midwest region was recaptured, and the war heated up.

P.S The Biafran Midwest governor...Albert Okonkwo declared the Midwest a republic called 'Benin Republic' which lasted 24 hours. The idea was to have a buffer state between Biafra and Nigeria. It did not work

PS2. As a result of the failed invasion, several biafran officers...Ifeajuana, Banjo and several others including Sam Alale were executed for treason.(Rumor has it that they were planning to capture the Western region, then remove Ojukwu, and then acheive the goals of the January coupists....something alluded to by Ademoyega in his book 'Why we struck')

shadeyinka:

In those days, if you could capture the capital (Lagos) it is as good as the war is over!

It wasn't particularly a wise move but that was the thinking then!

shadeyinka:
Hmn

You needn't be harsh on him. It takes older people to understand the rationale behind Ojukwus move!

franchasng:
Lagos was the capital of Nigeria then.

Back then, and even now, once you capture a country's capital, and take over the seat of their power, you have won the war, the country will surrender and demand for peace or negotiation to end the war and agree to your terms.

Ojukwu knew Biafra was not prepared for war, so when Gowon the then Head of State of Nigeria declared war on Biafra in what he called Police Action to return Biafra back to Nigeria after Ojukwu declared that Eastern Nigeria is now on their own and to be known as Biafra, Ojukwu moved all Biafran brave soldiers and commandos towards Lagos, with the intention of capturing Lagos so Gowon could run away and demand for seize fire and allow Biafra to go.

So Ojukwu's intention to capture Lagos was to end the war fast before Nigerian foreign allies (Britain, Egypt, etc) came on board and used air raids, superior firepower and heavy air bombardment and military backup to dislodge Biafran soldiers from capturing Lagos. Biafran soldiers were already to Sagamu when they stopped advancing towards Lagos when the Biafran Military commander instructed them to stop advancement until further instruction, which gave Nigerian army time to regroup and confront Biafran soldiers and pushed them back to Ore.

It was never meant to take over Southwest, but to end the war fast and save Biafra the load of engaging in a long civil war without a former national army or economy structure.

Hope u understand better now

Because after being defensive against an army hell bent on finishing you, you vex and get offensive after a while. You really need to read the history books, you will just realise that you will do the same thing Ojukwu did. The man never wanted a war. He and gowon went to Aburi in Ghana where the Aburi peace accord was signed. He believed there was peace and room for further discussions.
