Dedetwo: God save you I was asleep when you were writing all this crap. The way you talk, I can deduce that you have been pierced by the truth such that you’re gallivanting over the thread and typing absolute nonsense. Provide just one evidence to buttress any of your claim about Ojukwu releasing him or SHUT up forever like your other mate have done. People online here are not dumb, we don’t discuss beer parlor gists and we are not an appendage of IPOB. Even in the court of law, you gotta provide evidence to prove your facts. 2 Likes |

Ojukwu acted like a typical Igbo that he was. He was driven by emotion rather than common sense and logical reasoning. A typical egoistic Igbo man erroneously assumes he is stronger,smarter,richer and better than any other person around him. The war was an avoidable tragedy and this was exactly what chief Awolowo preached to Ojukwu but his ego wouldn't allow him to take that simple advice. When the tragedy that was predicted finally came and consumed over three millions of his people,some idiots would rather blame Awolowo,Britain,Russia,Egypt,everybody except Ojukwu himself. Who cares what they choose to believe or who they blame for their self inflicted injuries always. 4 Likes |

LegendHero: Evidence we need is the one showing that Gowon's federal government busted into Calabar prison, freed Awolowo, and brought him to Ikoyi prison. If you have no evidence to show a forcible military action, maybe a letter, or an agreement with Ojukwu the ruler of the then independent Biafra, including Calabar prison at that time, asking for the release of Awolowo, then you convince nobody! Imagine where a British prisoner was held in Berlin during the WWII, released by German authorities, taken to London, and then Churchill is celebrating "releasing" the prisoner from jail You not only believe this untenable scenario, but you're wasting bandwidth posting orchestrated press releases to mark release of the prisoner in London. Receiving a prisoner in Lagos is not the same as releasing that prisoner in Lagos. Give me a break! 1 Like |

naijaking1: The bolded statement showed you are either a secondary school student or you’re just purposely ignorant. What do you mean Ojukwu ruling independent Biafra? Awolowo was released August 3rd 1966, just 4-5 days after the counter coup that killed Ironsi. Ojukwu declared Biafra in 1967, so what the bleep do you mean by Ojukwu ruling independent Biafra. The more you guys reply, the more am shamed of your eduction. Is this the level of knowledge the whole Igbos on this forum can provide to defend Ojukwu? Like I did for your other kinsmen. I will not reply you again too coz I’m even tired of responding to craps. Goodbye bro and have a nice night! 3 Likes |

LegendHero: Bolded? What bolded? Maybe your spam generator has gone bad. You want to change the argument that Ojukwu and easterners declared themselves independent from Nigeria? Is that what the argument is going to be now? Whether you agreed or not for the independence of Biafra, that was objective of the war, and Biafra lost. We all know that. Now to come here and claim that you did not know why Biafra fought Nigeria, and ask what I meant by Ojukwu ruling an independent Biafra is not only incoherent, but ignorant of your own basic facts. Once again, and for you and your failing tribal politicians: Awolowo was jailed in Calabar city prison. Calabar city was under the control of Ojukwu, and Gowon NEVER went to Calabar to "release Awo while it was controlled by Biafrans. Now, go to sleep, and hopefully wake up with better argument! And stop posting made up historical information without even a common sense logic to it in the future, you hear? 1 Like |

Kapilta: God bless you bro. We the Yorubas will NOT sit and watch any one born of a woman to attack or smear the image of the late sage Awolowo. He loved the Yorubas to the innermost core of his heart and he left a legacy that will continue to live for centuries to come. Hence it is our duty as Yorubas to always defend his honor in anyway we can no matter the condition. The present corp of SW governors most times make me cry coz it’s like they are purposely sabotaging the effort of Awolowo. The Yorubas pioneered the first among first and these governors should know they are saddled with the responsibility of maintaining that lead and setting the pace for policies that other regions will follow.

LegendHero: Not sure that you slept well, because your points are now even more convoluted as ever. No regrets having a logical argument anytime, but if you prefer, then go to your tribal parapo with the likes of T9sky or whatever, and feed off of each others ignorance and hatred. However, once you come here to push a an absurd theory that doesn't hold water, then someone, hopefully will shoot you down. If Gowon had sway over Calabar prison at that time, don't you think he would have gone to Calabar, and staged a big and real "Awolowo Releasing Party", instead of faking it at Ikoyi prison? Think about about it, no matter how sick the truth makes you feel. Just think! |

naijaking1: Is it that you have made it a full-time job to frustrate my life or you are going through some personal issues and thought about dealing with someone online with propaganda? @the bolded, Where are you seeing Ikoyi prison in all this matter? Have you ever been admitted to Ikoyi prison or you have someone working there? You keep shouting Ikoyi prison when nothing from all the evidences point to any Ikoyi. This is the summary "Awolowo was flown from calabar prison, arrived in a convoy of military men to Gowon office in Dodan Barracks where Gowon received him and they spoke for approx. 10 minutes". Also why should the supreme military leader fly to Calabar to release him when he can just command and it will be done? Do Buhari need to fly to the prison where Dasuki is being held before he can release him? |
Re: RE: A More ABSOLUTELY Convincing Evidence To Show Gowon Released Chief Awolowo by naijaking1: 7:37pm On Dec 01, 2019 |
LegendHero: My brother, trust me, I am not here to frustrate your life. I believe that you have been educated rather wrongly about the sequence of events, because I wondered why the release of Awo should be such a big deal. It's one of those historical events that are now fading until you began a series publications to rather distort history in real time. No matter the amount of press assembled by Gowon, no matter the background he staged as a publicity stunt, the real questions are begging for answers. Some earlier propaganders of falsehood had postulated several times that Gowon released Awo from Ikoyi prison, because they forgot some people still remember that Awo was actually held in Calabar prison. And like yourself, when challenged they always do the 3 things they teach in law schools about arguments: 1. Hit the facts. 2. Hit your opponent. 3. If 1& 2 fail, just hit the table! Your example about Buhari ordering release of Dasuki is not a good example, but I am beginning to concede that maybe you didn't even know about the reason for the civil war in the first place. Once again, and despite all you have been told, Gowon had no capacity, no domain, no muscle, no power, no zip to do anything in the rebel Biafra, not rule, not command any army, police, airforce, or prison services to do any of his commands. He was not recognized as their ruler by the Biafrans for 3 years!!! Anybody coming to any major eastern city like Calabar with a directive from Gowon could have been killed instantly! Again, Ojukwu released Awo, and he first went home to Ikenne, and from there Gowon came into the scene. |

naijaking1: @ the first bolded, Can you provide the sources to one of such propaganda? Just give one source! Bro let us both subject this to reason and treat this as an academic exercise. Also remember in this argument, no victor no vanquished! Sorry to say, you are confusing yourself and you are making your emotion to do the work instead of your reasoning faculty. Please try to calm down and review your writings again to see the truth. In January 15th 1966, the military coup happened and Ironsi became head of state. in January 17th 1966, Ojukwu was installed as the military governor of Eastern region. in July 28, 1966 the counter coup that ousted Ironsi happened and he was kidnapped in August 1, 1966 Gowon became the head of state (Just 3 days after the coup) in August 3, 1966 Gowon released Awolowo and other prisoners. on May 30, 1967 Ojukwu declared Biafra (Almost a year after the release of Awolowo) Based on the above timeline of events, why do you make your second bolded statement? Was Ojukwu already controlling the airforce and army of the rebel biafra in August 3rd 1966? Do we even have any nation called Biafra in August 3rd 1966? 1 Like |

naijaking1: The below are the wording on that site. No place in the whole writeup mentioned Ikoyi prison. Or am I the one that is visually impaired coz now it's starting to seems like you are trolling me! Also you should answer my question from my earlier post. """Going back in history, there has been a controversial discussion as to the exact person that released Chief Obafemi Awolowo from prison. Chief Awolowo is an Icon who played a major movement towards Nigeria’s Independent in the 90s. In other to buttress the point that General Gowon released Chief Awolowo, a video has been seen which shows General Gowon escorting Awolowo out of prison on August 3, 1966. See Video Below; Chief Awolowo was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in 1963 after being found guilty of conspiracy to overthrow the government of Nigeria but was however released in August 1966. There is the popular narrative that it was Ojukwu who released Chief Awolowo from prison in 1966, while there is the other narrative which speculated that it was General Yakubu Gowon. According to reports, General Gowon took over the government as the Head of State on August 1, 1966, while Chief Awolowo got released on August 3, 1966, about 2 days after Gowon took over the government.

LegendHero: Video was captioned: Releasing Awolowo from prison. Do you doubt it too? If it had said receiving Awolowo who had just been released, it would be case closed, but for some odd reasons, Gowon and the promoters of this forgery wants to show the World how he released Awo from prison. BTW, I like the prison uniform, the small room, and the environment. Good imaginary. |

naijaking1: Awo book "Awo on the Nigerian civil war" published in 1982 addressed who released him. I lost the copy of that book when I left Nigeria but if i'm sure it is being sold on the online store. You can get a copy to read. Stop giving me what Ojukwu said, it holds no water. Gowon also said he released Awolowo from prison when he visited Awo's wife in Ikenne. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/191679-why-i-released-awolowo-from-prison-gowon.html |
