EkperemoEgbabi:


But he died of rat poison with a dream of being Nigerian president which never happened while Ojukwu will always be known as the former president of Biafra

Biafra dream that didn't and will never come true ...

funmijoyb:

Igbo people sha. Ojukwu fled the country for his life leaving Col. Banjo and 12 million igbo to perish. Thats real cowardice, traitor, backstabbing of d highest order.

Banjo was the hero of biafra. The moment he was executed was when the war ended. If you're glad Ojukwu executed him we nigeria happy about biafran's casualties too.

Banjo and fajuyi fought igbo course but they regretted it today.

Sowore omoyele is the next person y'all are betraying.

Fajuyi did not fight Igbo cause. Do not go there.

sarrki:



Ojukwu said he wants Biafra

What was he looking for in ore towards Lagos?

Ojukwu and the 1966 coupist are the real traitors

You are trying too hard to sound intelligent...lagos then was the capital, if the plans had worked it would be game over...Go and read about the events before,during and after the war.
And stop fooling yourself.

yeyeosoronga:


Awolowo died at the ripe age of 78years old. Even Ojukwu did not live longer than that. Many of you think you can change history by telling lies about the death of Awolowo.
Awolowo never took rat poison, but certain imbeciles have spread that news for their own selfish purposes. All the tales by moonlight you tell yourselves in beer parlours has no truth in it
Because you tell a lie over and over again can never make it the truth even if you're delusional enough to believe it.

Do you not know the origin of that story?

kayjay69:
It is quite sad that threads such as these that ought to help us learn the truth about what happened usually descend into a tribalistic tirade.
The truth of the matter is and like it or not, Ojukwu, Banjo and Awolowo, were great men and I can bet you that 99% of the people typing away on this thread may never achieve an inch of what these men achieved in their lifetime.
It is very easy to point fingers and criticise, very easy to throw stones.

Ojukwu did what he felt was right for his people and the evidence available suggested perhaps he did not have much of a choice because the Federal Gov of Nigeria kept breaking every agreement reached to ease tensions then. Igbos were being slaughtered in the North in reprisals for the coup (which was purely a military affair). He was the highest ranking military officer from the SE, he had to do something and he did. I salute him for the fact that he took a stand (even though stories would emerge that he caught wind of the fact that oil was already discovered in the SS in commercial quantities, perhaps he wanted to secede because of oil whilst being backed by Russia and France).

Regardless, I salute the man. However, it is also common knowledge that Ojukwu was far from perfect. It is said that he became paranoid at some point during the war. Perhaps this paranoia led to him executing some of his own of which Banjo was among. Kaduna Nzeogwu too and others. It was said that Banjo, Nzeogwu and the rest of the coup plotters were not really loyal to Biafra, they were loyal to their original idea which led to the coup and maybe they were trying to see this idea through. We will never know the truth. Anyone who talks from either side (Banjos or Ojukwus) will only peddle narratives that suit their own purpose.

Personally, I feel Awolowo should not have sided with the Federal Gov of Nigeria. He had the clout and influence. If perhaps he stayed neutral, he could have forced the FGN to restructure the country away from the unitary system of government and we would have either gone our separate ways or made the centre as weak as possible. You may disagree with me but I believe it was at this moment, that we could have had what I think would have put us on the path of real freedom and a means of true self-governance. It was at this moment we could have broken free from british tyranny through their proxies in Northern Nigeria. But the low hanging fruit is always tempting, always (the temptation to become President over all of Nigeria).

Awolowo remains one of my personal heroes for his political philosophy and governance during the old western region but he was far from perfect and I think this moment in time highlights one of his mistakes.

In closing, Nigeria and the Presidency, reminds me of the famed iron thrones from the TV series "Game of Thrones". The ones who has desired it and truly deserved it very rarely get there. Some who get there by chance, are removed. The only ones who get there and remain there are those who are pragmatic enough to do what is needed. Overall, Nigeria is not working and will never work (my view, please respect, don't argue). Either we restructure this country to have a very weak centre or we split it and each go their own separate way. Agree a payout with the ND to help each region stabilise their economies, and let everyone go fend for themselves.

I appreciate your position. Banjo was part of Nzeogu coup. By circumstance they found themselves in Biafra but Biafra was not their original concept so they tried to pursue their original concept by attempting to eliminate Ojukwu in order to go back to Nigeria and complete their dream. It is well known that he had meetings with Awo during the midwest and Ore invasion. It is well known that Awo would have been prime minister if Nzeogwu coup had succeeded. Today historians are yet to see the disconnect between Awo and Banjo in the coup against Ojukwu.

Igbos are snakes under the green grass .They like repeating bad characters about other tribes and you would be surprised that both their illiterates and literates are in the same bandwagon.
Everybody knows that there is no tribe that are the greatest backstabbers and betrayers than the Igbos.


These are verified Igbo betrayals to Yoruba,South,North and the whole Nigeria...
Igbos betrayals..

1.Azikiwe betrayed the South to give power to the North.

2.Igbos later backstabbed the North and South by killing their leaders.

3.Aguiyi Ironsi betrayed Nigeria by foisting Unitary System of govt on the populace with decree 34.

4.Igbos betrayed Nigeria by supporting Abacha through the 1millon people march.

5.Igbos betrayed the South by always voting for the North.

6.Igbos betrayed Yorubas by voting for Tofa,another Northerner....

The list goes on...

Let anyone of them list their cooked up Yoruba betrayals and compare.

Now I gerrit! u clearly misquoted me. It was d osagyefo guy who claimed kogis and kwarans are Niger deltans, not me! U may scrollup and recheck.

Its d 'revisionists' like him dT were saying nzeogwu wasn't Igbo because he originated from 'Niger delta' I was trying to correct.
A ppl's way of life determines their culture, not dr geographical location.

I hope we will all outgrow these interethnic E-wars one day. It adds nothing to either side.

Meanwhile, the first name of major Nzeogu is Chukwuma. The facts are still on the internet, freely available.
My comment is just to correct the error I noticed. The people who championed these coups did it for certain interests. Many of them are long gone and many even forgave each other. I wonder why this generation should continue a war they are too young to understand.

What error did you notice?
Expatiate.

Guess you know how many lives Buhari inordinate quest for power have costed Nigeria?

'Costed'?

you are very funny, can you listen to yourself?? What is south east We are talking about tribe and you are mentioning south east that was created yesterday by the same gowon that killed our people. When the couple took place was there anything like south east Are you more igbo than our igbo brothers is south south Is it bcoz the government created rubbish to aid they loot and now you are using to segregate against your brothers? Oga stop creating division among igbos OK.

It seems you are new to this platform if not you would have known the reason why I said so.
If it were to be Okocha,Ngozi Iweala etc... that we are discussing here and not blood stained Nzeogwu you would have seen so many guys from that part of Delta calling you out that they are not Igbos.
Let them Igbo deniers claim Nzeogwu the coupist murderer.

My Friend if You have nothing to say,don't talk rubbish.Why will U say Ojukwu was da betrayer,where were you when the Igbos where been killed in hundreds of thousands before the Civil War.

sarrki:


You can’t change the hand of the clock

Ojukwu is a traitor

So are his descendants

Nigeria would have been better if there was no 1966 Coup or if the Coup was not bloody. Why did we kill ourselves? Power can change hands without blood. Buhari became Head of State without shedding blood. I'm not IBB fan but his Coup was bloodless and I commend him for not killing GMB and Idiagbon. I must confess, we were celebrating my sister's birthday in April 1990 when we heard of Orka's Coup, the jubilation became double, and people were trooping in with emergency gifts for her..... But shortly after we heard about the killing of IBB ADC and others and the guy started dividing the country on radio, people were sad. Why killing others to get power? 90% of bloody coups in Nigeria failed!!!

We can play politics of power without shedding blood, those who introduced blood to our politics will account for their wickedness on the day of judgment!

He is from okpanam in Niger delta.

3. Aguiyi Ironsi was killed before he could dissolve the 4 regions. It was Gowon under Awolowo and other non Igbos advice that dissolved the regions and created the dysfunctional states.

4. Yoruba(NADECO) leaders betrayed Nigeria when they accepted bribe from Abacha and sold out Abiola to die in prison. Just like they betrayed Awolowo to IBB, forcing the man to either go to jail, go on exile, or take his life. He chose the easy way out, which is taking his own life.

5. Like they did in 2015 and 2019, right?

6. Igbos even though an Igbo was a VP to Tofa, gave 48% of total votes cast in SE to Abiola.
In contrast, just for the position of VP, SW swung for Buhari.

Bottom line, you have no facts.

U said Igbos are not murderers...?i may believe u. But to betray here nzeogu and others who lost their lives to support the biafra vision becos they bear Igbo names although are from Delta or so.... is the highest level of betrayal as an Igbo man that I believe u are. This is why igbos may never get that support needed to exist alone. Because they already betray the people (who leave their busy oil schedule to support them because I the similar name they share with igbos) before the event sef.

I not IBO but your facts looks shallow and lacks authenticity. Note I am a historian

Ojukwu did the right thing by killing the traitor.


Someone he saved and released from prison and sent home arrived Ore and feels he is at home to backstab his benefactor.

Banjo is a dirty betrayal.

Ojukwu made his greatest mistake here, he would have allowed banjo rot in prison the way hausa fulani government then wanted it to be.


Banjo is a backstabber, betrayal and a traitor.

His daughter should just shut up..

They are both traitors. Ojukwu betrayed his people at the end of the war, abandoning his fighters.

Osagyefo98:



Banjo is a dirty betrayal and a traitor.

The woman talking wasn't there and too young by them to know how dirty her father was.

I have told people that if you think you can poke your benefactors without consequences, then the person is a joke.

Awolowo tried it , he died regretting his deeds.

Today you can't call awolowo without adding rat poison...he set a bad precedence for the future generations.

Are you sure?
In my own case o, anytime I "call" Awolowo I remember his free education program in the old western region. It's very unfortunate that the only thing you remember the great Awo for is poison. I advise your people to keep poison (especially Snipper) away from you.

When the American consular asked Ojukwu for evidence, Ojukwu replied, “Banjo is a very meticulous man who kept records and notes of everything he did.” Ojukwu said “the mistake of the plotters was they talked too much, their moves too conspicuous and they made notes which came into his hands. As a result the conspirators came under surveillance from the early stages of the plot’s existence. Their plans then became known and confirmed by subsequent events.”

All your leaders where killed because you fools talk to much

Awolowo talks too much

Mko talks too much

Thiefnibu talks too much
