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.

joeyfire:
Sanwo-Olu is a very poor example. You cannot compare a democratic climate to a military command and control structure and the protocols involved. Who controlled the soldiers in the Eastern Region?

Xbee007:
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.

LabDNA:
It's either you are not a good reader or you trying to be clever by half or both.

I have asserted severally that in all of his books he never mentioned that Gowon released him and refused to admit that Ojukwu released for reasons I have stated above (go back and read slowly). Even though only the East had the power to release him as Ojukwu had called a press conference to declare that the East won't recognize Gowon.

I posted the book because I needed to debunk his attempt to discredit my claims of reading Awo's books and try to create doubt on my credibility. How do I drum this into your amygdala and cerebellum.

Again, in all of his books, pre-independence and post-independence he never mentioned being released by Gowon or Ojukwu. Awo was a very proud and stubborn boy in his youth. Before completed standard 3 (primary school) in 1927 he had already served 4 different masters due to his stubborness.

Read his books and get into his mind. Not propaganda.
Stop pretending to be blind because you already have your preconceived bias and narratives.

Good night.

MelesZenawi:
You must really be a joke.
You created falsehood and expected dialogue.

World of fantasies.





All I know is that Obafemi Awolowo made a mortal mistake of assuming he can poke Igbos without consequences......and of course he died regretting it.

joeyfire:
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.

LegendHero:
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.

LegendHero:
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.

[b]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 earlie[/b]r.

Johans1991:
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.

Tranquillity360:
Typical yoruba man.you have shown your really self and the mentality of a yoruba man towards Igbos.

You call it pointless war.


What cost the war?


Why you yorubas never asked Gowon why he didn't keep Aburi accord.

To you yorubas,Igbos is the cause of all your nigeria problem,allow them to go.No

joeyfire:
Another faulty comparison.

A constitutional conference in Lagos attended by all regions in September does not in any way infer that Gowon had any authority over the Eastern Region. I hope you know the Eastern Region refused to attend the next conference held in October. Why did Gowon not force them to attend if he had control?

chiedozie198100:
yorubas and their penchant for lies.

awolowo even thanked ojukwu publicly for his release. he was hosted in Enugu, where he declared that if Biafra broke away, the west had no choice than to follow.

only for the master liar to cross over to the west and turned coat.

attempting to rewrite history is borderline INSANITY.

Magicians:
This is could be true but the burden to prove it is left to your Igbos. Do you have prove to that claim, that is all that some of us have been asking your forefathers fathers n now you

Omoodua007:
Yoruba is not stopping you from going pack and declare your Biafra

0monnak0da:
OK what about the release of Obasanjo in 1998?

Tranquillity360:
says by a Hypocrite yoruba man.

The Same igbos left in 1967 but your fathers fought for three years just to bring them back to your sad waste.

LegendHero:
No I don't know. Can you please give me a source to back your claims? I want to learn.

joeyfire:
Did the Governor of the state say he wasn't aware that Obasanjo was to be released?

0monnak0da:
Why did Ojukwu release Awo 48 hours after Gowon Ordered the Release even though Ojukwu had been governor nearly 8 months and 3 months earlier Awo had written to Ironsi seeking Pardon
Why THAT MOMENT?

Did Ojukwu go along with the order because HE AGREED with it or did he INITIATE IT independently



Did he issue a different pardon

mrvitalis:
The east never recognized Gowon ,so how can they obey him

Ive been saying it over and over. Ojukwu AGREED and was in total support. Ironsi was not a good politician. He was scared to release Awo so as not to offend the north because their most important leaders had been eliminated in a coup designed to install Awo. I've read accounts of how there were attempts to murder Awo in prison. He didn't release Okpara, K.O Mbadiwe, RFK and co either

LegendHero:
They fought you because you fore-bearers through Azikwe first made sure secession is not included in the constitution.

Azikwe also tried stopping the North from seceding. Do you know the North echoed the thought of seceding before? Zik had to type a lengthy statement to convince the North never to secede.

Azikwe also colluded with the FG and eastern region government to jail Adaka-Boro for treason when he tried secession of the Niger Delta.

Your military boys went along to kill the leaders of other region excepts theirs and they even had the audacity to mock other regions with the dead body of their leader.

For all this great sin you committed against Nigeria then, they will NEVER allow you to leave. The Biafran war is the payment for everything your fore-bearers did to Nigeria and they settled the scores with that war.

Now in 2019, anybody that stop you from leaving the country to get your Biafra is an idiot.

Tranquillity360:
which means your yorobass are idiots?

We have seen have you people reach anytime issue of Biafra rises.


[b]We also see how you guys rejoice when the nigeria army are killing unarmed ipob [/b]demonstrating because they want to leave you guys.
What does that says about you guys.

0monnak0da:
Please clarify the emboldened
,WHO did not release

LegendHero:
You guys first denied the photos!
Then you denied a printout of the New York Times 1966 edition!
Now you are still denying a video proof?

Nnamdi Kanu understood you guys more than I do, infact I just see the reason why almost 70% of a tribe believed Buhari is Jubrin from Sudan.

richie240:
U've not seen/heard anything!
One will still tell u d video was 'photoshopped'.
They choose what to believe/discard irrespective of d facts.
