ProudDick: So you think the prison chief warder can release Awolowo, the leader of the Yorubas without the Governor of the region knowing about it? In a military regime? Not possible. 3 Likes |

joeyfire: What is actually your conculsion? Was it that Gowon ordered the release of Awolowo and Ojukwu obliged or you mean Ojukwu actually released Awo himself? 2 Likes |

mrvitalis: The dates have already done justice to the argument.Gowon came to power on the 1st of August 1966 but Biafra was declared on May,30th 1967.The obvious is that Gowon released Awolowo. Ojukwu,I bet still had a little more intelligence than you and wouldn't release Awo and allow him to go to Lagos.He knew that he was a gem that could have helped Biafra to win the war. He knew how valuable Yorubas were that he made friends with Prof Aluko.He released Banjo from prison and made him the overall leader of the Biafran army.Do you think he will release Awolowo and allow him to go back to Lagos. 4 Likes |

This is the same Ojukwu asking the govenment to return to Nigeria after he was in exile in 1979. You will clearly see that his desires to rule made him embark on a pointless war that costed all of us our unity. He was still keen on becoming a ruler of parliament in a country he fought against. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWM8OvgEE24&feature=youtu.be 3 Likes |

Also this is the moment Chief Awolowo was Jailed. His words: speaking from the dock before sentence was passed, commented: "It is an irony of history that as one of the architects of Nigerian independence i have spent almost half of Nigeria's three-year independence in confinement." The charges brought against him were treasonable felony, conspiracy and firearms' possession. last night police used tear gas and truncheons to break up groups of the chief's supporters.near the main prison tear gas was also used to disperse crowds.some arrests were made.the trial was climaxed by the mounting of one of the biggest security operations in Nigeria's history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=App4RqMhikY&feature=youtu.be 1 Like |

LegendHero: I answered this question in my first post on this thread. Kindly answer the question. Can the chief warder Calabar prisons release Awo without the Governor knowing about it? 4 Likes 1 Share |

joeyfire: It does not matter whether the governor knows or not. The chief warder of Calabar prison (a federal one) take orders from the Supreme military council leader and he will follow orders either the governor of the region knows about it or not. Just like Buhari can give command for any federal prisoner in Kirikiri to be released and Sanwo-olu will dare not question the directive. 3 Likes |

I would advise my Ibo brothers to start making fact-based claims. All your false-claims have been busted one by one by Yoruba. It might take them a while but with persistence they unravel the truth and slap it in your face. It makes you look bad and non-credible with historical facts. 4 Likes |

LegendHero: They know this to be true but they are trying to save face by throwing curve balls hoping their lies can be covered with more lies and illogical twists. They do not see problem with Ironsi as Supreme leader issuing and enforcing decree 34 and destroying regional government but if Gowon, as Supreme leader ordered release of Awolowo they dont believe it is possible. 6 Likes |

MetaPhysical: Lol, dont mind them. Normally I should have stopped answering them since page 3 of this thread but that will give them more power to peddle the false narratives. This is their modu operandi. Deny the truth to the end even if you are taken back in time in the face of strong evidence. Bring out personal assertions to try to bend the truth and invalidate its authenticity. Resort to personal abuse to digress the author from the subject matter and pollute the thread. Lastly, make sure you keep lying, lying, lying, and never budge anytime to accept any truth. I even have the video where Gowon convened the national conference in Lagos in September 13th, 1966 with all the regions represented. He was trying to ask the way forward from Nigerians and what mode of government system we wish to practice. How was he be able to convey that conference without him having control over Calabar prison a month earlier. 2 Likes |

LegendHero: Im glad you did not stop my brother. In fact, im even shocked at myself....i have only said two things on this thread. We go blow this thing open soon. Im sure you are aware how far they have gone in making this issue a record of history and stuck to their faksehood that Ojukwu released Awo. Until you came along and debunk it now. You killed two things with this video - That - 1. The coup plotters wanted to enthrone Awo. This video proves it is a lie. 2. Ojukwu, not Gowon authorized Awo's release. This video proves it is wrong. There are many records of history like this that we need to debunk. Things like - Ojukwu's father was Chairman of Lagos Stock Exchange. We have not found record that supports it. Ojukwu father bankrolled World War, we have not found rwcorda to support it. Ojukwu was first rolls royce owner and the Queen came on visit to Nigeria because of him. That she was his guest. There is no record to prove it. That Olaudah Equinao was an Iboman. There is no record to prove it. There are many more Ibo claims to be scrutinized and inspected for its validity. 2 Likes |

LabDNA:I don't usually get involved in this sort of argument but you misled people, myself inclusive, when you posted the picture of that book. If you read his post in its entirety and you're honest to yourself, you will conclude that he was requesting for a book of Awolowo that you've read that aludes to Ojukwu releasing Awo. Because that was the crux of this argument. Instead, you posted a book published in 1960 and never alluded to that fact. 2 Likes |

MetaPhysical: I will start debunking them one by one. I will just need to tap into one or two resources and will get those sources that will attest or deny that ridiculous claim of theirs. We Yorubas have been silent for too long such that these people bank on that to regurgitate false narratives and happenings that never occurred to convince the populace. Do you even know NNamdi Azikwe was on the ballot in 1983? I have a video of him campaigning in Lagos on May 18,1983 . Ekwueme was on one hand frolicking with the Fulanis (Shagari) while Azikwe was on the other hand dividing Awo's vote in the south. These guys think we don't know all the attrocities their fore-bearers committed, they most time hide under the persecution complex about the civil war which made most Nigeria show sympathy for their cause and made people believe the ridiculous statements they churn out. 2 Likes |

gidgiddy:you forget that Nigeria was not under regional government then, ironsi had already turned regional to unity government. Secondly, in the military there is this saying "YOUR RANK IS YOUR AGE" as far as they promoted your junior to a rank higher than yours,you must I mean MUST take directives from him even if you senior him with 100yrs in d service. Lastly, a governor have no right to release a federal prisoner without d permission of the president. For example, no south east governor have the right to release the ipob prisoners that are in prison now. 4 Likes |

Xbee007: God bless you bro. I would have stopped replying him but if I don't keep replying they will use their usual method of bending truth by churning out lies. He first dropped that pics to confuse people about the subject matter, when I told him that book was published in 1960, he was mute and digressed towards appealing to integrity. Awo was released in 1966, how will a book published in 1960 talk about his release? 2 Likes |

0monnak0da: Nice one, I saw this thread also and thank you for creating it. You would agree with me that they still denied you and your folks assertion up to the 6th page on that thread until a username "Nobody" uploaded the pics of Gowon and Awo after being freed. If you look critically, that picture he uploaded was a screenshot of the video I uploaded today. He was able to only get the pics that time which they denied and I was totally dumbfounded when they also attempted to deny a video evidence today. 1 Like |
