we were not running because yorubas will hurt us because we werent the ones that annulled the elections
hausas annuled june 12 not igbos, we just didnt want to be caught up in the fight between two regions that hate us, so ur point is needless
or were you really planning to fight us over june 12?

I thought you guys are brave , so why running away . Do brave people run away?

Like I said you're a bloody little hypocrite! Remove the log of wood in your hate-filled eyes before you attempt to remove the one in others. I'm tired of you and your people always demonizing the Igbos and accusing the them of being the only cause of the problem. You want through all the comments and the only thing you can see is the hate and insults from Igbos but you never saw the ones from your people. Of course they are saints and are always filled with love and affection towards the Igbos.
For you to insinuate that Ipob and massob speak for the generality of Igbos shows how myopic you're. Stop acting as if your parents are saints, they also teach you people on how to hate the Igbos from childhood hence the morbid hatred and jealousy you guys always have for the Igbos. Like I said run along, and while you're at that, try and tone that on your hypocrisy.

you people keep shouting jealous up and down. Who is jealous who nah. Have you ever seen a gathering where a yoruba man play second fiddle to tribal man. The problem you lots have is unnecessary self appraisal.

Ojukwu Released Awolowo From Calabar Jail,QED:”I released Awolowo from jail. Even that, some people are beginning to contest as well. Awo was in jail in Calabar. Gowon knows and the whole of the federal establishment knows that at no point was Gowon in charge of the East..”–Odumegwu Ojukwu

New York[RR] Awka–In this interview with Rudolf Okonkwo, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu categorically said that he released Awolowo from Calabar prison, he added, that Gowon and all federal establishment knows that Gowon was at no time in charge of the East, Republic Reporters gathered.

Mr. Okonkwo troubled by multiple argument font and back with S’West and East, pointedly asked Ojukwu whether there was a meeting, “Did the meeting take place, and was there such an agreement?’. Ojukwu response was that, he indeed released Awolowo from Calabar Prison house.

Hear Ojukwu speak for himself:
“We’ve said this over and over again, so many times, and people don’t understand; they don’t want to actually. If you remember, I released Awolowo from jail. Even that, some people are beginning to contest as well. Awo was in jail in Calabar. Gowon knows and the whole of the federal establishment knows that at no point was Gowon in charge of the East. The East took orders from me. Now, how could Gowon have released Awolowo who was in Calabar? Because of the fact that I released him, it created quite a lot of rapport between Awo and myself and I know that before he went back to Ikenne, I set up a hotline between Ikenne and my bedroom in Enugu. He tried like an elder statesman to find a solution. Awolowo is a funny one. Don’t forget that the political purpose of the coup, the Ifeajuna coup that began all this, was to hand power over to Awo. We young men respected him a great deal. He was a hero.

Ojukwu, added, “I thought he was a hero and certainly I received him when I was governor. We talked and he was very vehement when he saw our complaints and he said that if the Igbos were forced out by Nigeria that he would take the Yorubas out also. I don’t know what anybody makes of that statement but it is simple. Whether he did or didn’t, it is too late. There is nothing you can do about it. So, he said this and I must have made some appropriate responses too. But it didn’t quite work out the way that we both thought. Awolowo, evidently, had a constant review of the Yoruba situation and took different path. That’s it. I don’t blame him for it. I have never done. he said.

While Awolowo never trusted the Igbos, the north never trusted Awolowo and theYorubas. The northern oligarchy instigated crisis in Western Nigeria in the same manner President Obasanjo used the Uba brothers to instigate crisis in Anambra State. This crisis led to the trumped up charges leading to the trial and imprisonment of Awolowo. Reports have it that he was to be poisoned in prison before the military coup altered the state of affairs.

Awolowo was released from Calabar prison by Biafran leader Odumegwu Ojukwu and there was an agreement that while Ojukwu declares Biafra in the East, Awolowo would declare Oduduwa Republic in the West. The British establishment, sensing the dangers of Awolowo declaring Oduduwa Republic in the West, convinced Gowon and the north to checkmate Awolowo’s secessionist agenda by appointing him the Vice Chairman of the Federal Executive Council. This strategy worked effectively and Awolowo was deceived that after Gowon’s tenure he would be given the opportunity of ruling Nigeria. Awolowo thus had to checkmate the Biafran dream to clear any obstacle to his ruling Nigeria while the north was looking for the right opportunity to throw him into the dustbin. In frustration, Awo resigned from Gowon’s cabinet when he realised he had been politically duped.

Awolowo quashed the Biafran dream while the northern establishment killed the Oduduwa dream and betrayed Awolowo’s presidential ambition thrice. This fact was aptly captured by a prominent Yoruba leader and Nigeria’s former minister of aviation Chief Femi Fani-Kayode while replying to a boastful statement by another prominent northern leader, Alhaji Usman Farouk on how the north dominated the Yoruba people and conquered the Niger Delta.

According to Fani-Kayode, “… the north literally begged Awolowo not to declare Oduduwa Republic and go the way of Biafra even though that was his original intention…Fourthly it was the support that the southwest gave to the north that allowed Nigeria to win the war. Fifthly it was the lie that Gowon and the northern leaders fed Awolowo that he would be made President of the country after the war and after being effectively made de facto Prime Minister under Gowon during the war that got Awolowo to support them.” Invariably, the Igbos and Yorubas were effectively dribbled, divided, manipulated and overpowered.

How come your Ojuiku, did not release Chief Awolowo from Calabar prison, when his fellow Igbo brother, Ironsi was the Head of state and COAF?
Why did Ojuiku have to release Awolowo after Hausa-Fulani soldiers took over power from his brother, Ironsi?
Are you also aware that Chief Awolowo, actually wrote a letter to Ironsi, requesting for pardon after Ironsi became Head of state? Chief Awolowo's request was mever granted until the Hausa-Fulani boys paid the Yeebos in 'their own coin', during the Hausa-Fulani counter coup.

ojukwu controlled calabar and released awolowo... period
or was calabar under Gowons control during the release?

Ironically, it is the Yeebos that are always in the habit of twisting facts in order to cover up their shortcomings in Nigeria's history.
Chief Awolowo was imprisoned by the Federal government for committing a federal crime and imprisoned in Calabar prison which is a federal prison, like Kirikiri prison in Lagos. A regional governor, like Ojuiku, has no power to release a prisoner from a federal prison because the prison warden, in Calabar prison then, was not an employee of Eastern regional government but an employee of the federal government.
General Gowon ascended power on 1st of August, 1966 and issued an order for Chief Awolowo's release the next day after taking over power.
Your 'blothers', who took over power after killing political and military leaders from other regions, where in power for seven months and did not deem it fit to release Chief Awolowo from prison despite the fact that he pleaded with General Ironsi to grant him clemency which Ironsi and his fellow Igbo advisers, refused to consider before Hausa-fulani soldiers swept Ironsi away from power.
The cause of Nigeria's history would have definitely taken a different cause if Chief Awolowo's request for clemency, was granted by General Ironsi. I am sure there would not have been any civil war. The only probable occurence would have been the Northerners, probably seceding from the Nigerian Federation then.
Hope this piece will assist in disabusing your mind of your xenophobic claims.
Cheers!

I have been following an online aggressive discourse about who released Obafemi Awolowo from Calabar prison in the 1960s. I must confess that the discussion was confusing and sad at best: It was confusing to see a simple fact generate such a diverse interpretation. It is sad because a great country like Nigeria failed to record it's history adequately or to make such history easily accessible.

The problem is that this story is very central to the argument about Ironsi's alleged non performance and the excuse for his murder.

Quoting Obi Nwakamma: "Ironsi is also often linked to the general story of Igbo antinomy, and the excuse for which a section of the Yoruba intellectuals prefer to justify Awolowo's actions in the war and his fervent support for Gowon. As far as I'm concerned it will serve no great purpose to Nigerian history to have what we might simply call an "equal opportunity history" that compromises on the truths of the event because the real truth is starker and more uncomfortable for a particular group of people in Nigeria."

Here is an excerpt from Awo's diary:

"I will let my Diary for 3 August speak briefly here. (1) Crossed the prison gate into freedom at 7.56 a.m. (2) Plane took off from Calabar at 8.30 a.m. (3) Arrived Ikeja airport at 9.32 a.m. (4) Saw Gowon at his Headquarters. (5) Returned to Ikenne alone in triumph. At this juncture, it is of interest to narrate the nature of Ironsi’s proposed release as it was disclosed to me after my actual release. The plan was to take me to Ikoyi prison until it was judged safe to set me free. A cell had been prepared for me there which contained extra facilities . If I did not like the place, I could be placed under house arrest at Ikenne. If I wanted to travel abroad, every facility would be afforded me to do so. That was why my intended release was not announced, even though a plane had been dispatched to Calabar to bring me to Lagos. Until negotiation with me on the above lines had been concluded, Ironsi’s team did not want the public to know that I had been transferred back to Ikoyi prison or to my house under house arrest, with my own consent."


Here is the view of a historian and scholar Obi Nwakamma:

"If Ojukwu did not release Awo, I'd have no business disputing some people's attempts at crass revisionism. I'll simply accept it. But as their increasing vacillation shows, the truth haunts because it is stubborn. They have moved from one angle to the other in a shifting sand that only amuses people like me. Note: the story has since gone from Ironsi did not release Awo to "Ironsi's release was CONDITIONAL."

I have never before in my life found greater irony. Now he is squirming under the weight of interpretation - the wheres and wherefores that belong to legal doublespeak - which is when you really need to close an argument.

Awolowo's letter is rather self-explanatory. Emissaries sent to him to Calabar arrived Calabar with a plane on July 27, 1966. The SMC wanted him in Lagos on July 29. In the early mornings of July 29, Ironsi and Fajuyi were murdered in Ibadan by a coup in which Gowon was very active. On the day that Ironsi was supposed to make the announcement publicly in the gala planned for his final day in Ibadan as a gesture of goodwill to the West, he was killed. The crucial point to note here from Awo's diary is that

(a) his release was already final. A plane had been sent to him to leave Calabar to Lagos. He did not leave because it was a one-engine plane and he just did not like the idea of traveling in that plane.

(b) Having being released, a second declaration of release was no longer necessary by Gowon because the papers releasing him had been signed and sealed and effected. The only person who could stop further action on that release document in the circumstance was the Eastern Regional governor whose authority was required to effect the wishes of the Federal government,

(c) there is no place in the annals of Nigeria's administrative records where you will find an order or paper of release for Awolowo in which Yakubu Gowon's signature appears.

But I'd like to bet Ayo and co $1000 that if we go into the archives of the Nigerian Cabinet Secretariat, the signature that will be on the release order for Chief Awolowo will be Ironsi's signature by the power conferred on him by the SMC, and that there is no second release order unless it was backdated. Ironsi's order was fully carried out by the administrative requirements that compelled the Governor of the East to issue administrative writ to the Director of Prisons in Eastern Nigeria to comply.

It is as simple as that. If Gowon issued an order in that regard, Emeka Ojukwu would have very clearly and deliberately ignored it to fully press the point that he was under no obligation to heed Gowon's authority and Chief Awolowo would not have been released. He would most likely have ended up in the East, like Banjo and co during the war all of whom were released by Ojukwu's orders.

Awo's diary confesses quite clearly that Ironsi's regime had kept his release "secret." Why did Ironsi feel the need to thread carefully about such a matter? Would it be to placate the East, the West, or the North? From whom was Ironsi keeping this secret and why? Who would be more grieved by the news of Awo's release? Awo's release was apparently affected by the confusion in Lagos.

If Ayo were Ojukwu, would he have let him go on July 29th 1966, the day he was expected to be taken to Lagos from the East and the day Ironsi was murder or wait for things to clear up a bit? Why did Ojukwu feel the need to release Awo on the 3rd before a reconstituted SMC? Clearly, Ojukwu thought that Awo's presence in the West would help rally the rump of his supporters in the West to act against the coup in evolution. Awo told Ojukwu plainly when they met in Enugu later in May that he could not act because of the presence of Northern troops in the West. As soon as he arrived Ibadan, Awo was placed under clear surveillance. Military sentries were kept daily at his gate in Ibadan and Ikenne.

That is a version of House arrest. Anyone who talks about "conditional release" does not know how governments function. Awo was to be put through a safe, transitional house, no more than a week after the public announcement of his release, debriefed, and released to his home. The same thing happened to Mandela. It is the normal administrative process in these matters. What really makes me happy is that "Nebu and Obi" can no longer be said to write about things that are not in the public domain. We were both clear about who released Awo and why. Awo's diary basically confirmed the following:

(a) A plane had been sent to Calabar to bring him to Lagos on 27th July, two days before Ironsi was killed; (b) the SMC expected him in Lagos on July 29th the day Ironsi and Fajuyi were killed in Ibadan. In fact, they were desperate that he must arrive Lagos by the 29th! It prompts the question: Why the hurry to bring him to Lagos on the 29th? Were these facts communicated to the coup plotters? If so, who but those in the inner circle of the SMC could have communicated this highly classified policy to the coup plotters who had to act quickly to eliminate Fajuyi and Ironsi before the effectuation of the orders on July 29?

(c) Awo refused to travel in the one-engine plane for fear of his safety and

(d) But above all, no other order is required once the order of release has been gazetted for the release of a prisoner. Therefore, Gowon could no longer have re-issued an order already being carried out. It is elementary.

TO RECAP: By the very decree establishing the National Military Government under Ironsi, the Governor of the Eastern Group of provinces was a member of the Supreme Military Council, and the Chief agent of the federal government in the East. All federal institutions, including the Federal Prison Services, were under his jurisdiction and authority. That is one. As at August 3 1966, with a coup in evolution which had not succeeded in the East, the laws of the federation ceased to exist in the East. The only laws that existed in areas under Ojukwu's command were the emergency laws that he assumed. No tributes, declarations or orders by any other authority outside of the East under any guise of law could be enforced in the East. Basically, Nigeria temporarily ceased to exist. That is two.

Chief Awolowo mentioned General Gowon's name as the person that authorized his release from prison and General Gowon equally deduced reasons why his release was effected.

so saying the truth now is what u call "stupid story"

answer the question - whose signature is on the release paper

bigfish3k:
the help is mutual - if u help us get biafra , we will help u decongest lagos so that ur complain about congested lagos will stop
which goodwill - worst is for u to remain in ur afonja region and i remain in mine - or do u think we are happy being called nigerians- a shithole country that is not respected anywhere in the world
so what would u have done, would u have occupied igboland forcefully and rename them afonjaland? is igboland part of nigeria border if we get biafra
when malaysia didnt want singapore they gave them independence. thats exactly what we want from u not blood shed, afterall u know we dont love each other . but why still keeping us with u. why?

Help you get Biafra?, so upon all the bragadoccio, you guys still expect those you called coward to help you?.
You guys are about making the same mistakes you made in 1967.
Get your acts together Yoruba will NEVER carry other people matter for head again, everyone is now in a Tinubu state of mind in Yoruba land, and you know what that means.

Gazelle22:
The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign
State of Biafra (MASSOB) has accused the former governor of Lagos State and National leader of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu of planing to revoke all properties owned by Ndigbo in Lagos.

The group made this known in a statement signed by the National Director of information, Comrade Edeson Samuel and obtained by DAILY POST in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital on Thursday.

The statement read in part: “It is very clear that President Mohammadu Buhari and his Fulani cabals have perfected their plans to establish northern agenda, which has been their utmost aim to frustrate, destabilize and to crush the entire eastern region because of their hatred against Biafra.

“The railway quarters in eastern region are death traps and some so
called Igbo leaders will be shouting one Nigeria. All railways in the east have been taking over by grasses and arm bandits. MASSOB described those who claimed that they are our political leaders as failures.

“MASSOB wishes to reminds Ndigbo of our think home agenda, Ndigbo must start relocating their industries, businesses and other investments
back to Biafra land because a bird at hand worth more in the bush.

MASSOB remind our people that Nigeria will never like you because of
the pathological hatred they have against Ndigbo.

“All Igbo wealth’s in the northern region will one day be on fire in the name of religious crisis by this Islamic terrorist. Igbos who are still building who built mansions and shopping malls in Lagos should
also know that Bola Tinubu the godfather of Lagos state has perfected plans to revoke all properties own by Ndigbo in Lagos state through the new puppet he installed as governor of Lagos state.

“MASSOB is urging Igbo business men especially the importers not to
use Kaduna dry port unless Calabar, Onitsha and Port Harcourt see ports are rehabilitated and functional.

“MASSOB advised that Ndigbo should use other neighboring countries sea ports because you cannot beat a child and at the same time stop him from crying. MASSOB advised Eastern governors to establish industries and mechanic villages in their respective States. They should also repair the abandoned ones by federal government to avoid kidnapping, armed robbery and other criminal acts in Eastern region,” the group
stated.
