Some who rode on cocoa plantation to introduce ethnic politics and also died of his own devilish action is same person u waste time arguing about his end...Of what use.

Since Gowon released I believe by now he is in Ikenne. , his father's compound.

LegendHero:


Hahahahahah Lol. No more defense mechanism, you have resorted to name calling LOL!

Ojukwu is actually shameless tbh. He was caught on video lying that he released Awolowo and that was the genesis of the inbred hate the Igbo man felt for the late sage (Awolowo).

I now see the reason why the Igbos lost the war with that much casualty rate. Ojukwu was a born liar who lied about having the weapon and alliance to give justifications for the war of ego. All liar shall perish!

Do you know how many awolowo children are in government consistently since the patriach died?Your hatered will eventually consume you.

LegendHero:


You should actually be grateful to us (Yorubas) for making you see the truth. You can now go to your village meeting to tell your people that Ojukwu lied to you guys for decades and TELL them that Gowon released Awolowo.

Abhijit Naskar once said "A thousand loud lies become powerless in front of one calm truth.”

smell power but will never taste it.

A new & surprising dynamics

Nigeria, so they see him as "the devil you know"....

Lol..

Nothing new has been said here. Unalloyed facts still remain that..

1. Gowon was not recognized in the East and therefore didn't have the instruments and influence to release of Awo who was detained in the East.

2. The source of your narrative was from Guardian a tabloid of the British who strongly supported the puppet Nigerian state with arms, ammunitions, military training in the war of attrition against the East. So those views cannot be seen as unbiased. This is common knowlege.


The atrocities of the British government in the pre-indepedent and during the war in Nigeria have been grossly downplayed. Not just with their penchant for diplomatic sleaziness and military support for atrocities but with their media with which they had a monopoly to hold people spellbound with their propaganda depending own which side of the divide their interests lie. They did it in Botswana, India, Nigeria.

Go read this book, it's an expose on British atrocities in Eastern Nigeria, written by a British journalist himself.

You should know when to give up and when to fight.

I will not discuss this further with you coz arguing this undeniable fact with anyone is just an exercise in futility.

One question for you...

If the West African pilot newspaper run by Easterners then had written an editorial about how the East released Awolowo from Calabar prisons, would you have held it as an unbiased view or not?

The British were hands in gloves with the Nigerian government, they were partisan and the views of British tabloid could not qualify to be seen as objective and unbiased.

The East released Awo. They were with the keys of his prison cell and didn't take orders from Gowon whom they saw as illegitimate. It's common sense.

LegendHero:


Stop racing against time. Can you see the comment of your kinsmen Yujin up there?

In as much as Yujin comment was based on speculations, he still at least tried bringing a meaningful deduction and can still convince some people. That’s what they call rational thinking.

Although some of his assertions were also wrong based on some true realities of situation then.

I meant no disrespect, but I will not respond to you anymore on this subject to save myself of unnecessary stress!

If anybody wants to know who released Awolowo, follow time line and facts.

General Ironsi was captured and killed on 29th July 1967. For the next few days, nobody knew who was running Nigeria. Not even Gowon could have claimed to be head of state in that time. With the uncertainty about what happend to Ironsi, the ongoing killings of Army officers of Eastern origin and the fact that the most senior officer after Ironsi, Brigadier Ogundipe was still Chief of General staff, it would pedestrian to assume that Gowon was head of state. None of the Regions recognized Gowon as head of state, very few people knew what was happening.

Ojukwu flatly refused to recognise Gowon as head state as there were several officers senior to Gowon, particularly Brigadier Ogundipe, who was supposed to take over in the absence of Ironsi.

The reasons Gowon could not have possibly released Awolowo are:

1) In August 1967, nobody recognized Gowon as head of state, least of all Ojukwu

2) Ojukwu was senior to Gowon, theres no way Ojukwu would have taken instructions from Gowon until much later

3) Awolowo was in prison in Calabar, which was in the Eastern Region. How can Gowon release Awolowo in an area that did not recognize Gowon as head of state?

4) How is it possible for Gowon to release Awolowo in an area where Gowon had no power or recognition?
