Reason Why Ojukwu Forgave Awolowo On The Civil War 1967 -1970 by sarrki(op): 8:25pm On Jan 30, 2020
History. . . .

The most successful ambush of the Biafrans was the Abagana massacre of the Nigerian soldiers. The whole group perished!!!

But in anger, the Biafrans destroyed all the resources like food, drugs and especially weapons, equipment and vehicles. It was idiotic to destroy them. They could have helped the Biafrans!!! They didn't care bc that time, they were still using the Nigerian money !!!!

What to do? The Ogbologbo brain in Gowon's govt, Pa Awo changed the money. . . . that was the beginning of the confusion in Ojukwu's camp. Ojukwu later forgave Awo but Chinua Achebe never did. He wrote wickedly against Awo in his book: There was a country.

The picture below showed what � anger can cause. Why destroying the drug, vehicles, tanks, weapons, communication equipments etchuh??

Skinner Moses O explains:

I don't go with the narrative that Ojukwu later forgave Awolowo as Awolowo never really committed any sin against Ojukwu or the Igbo race. Ojukwu only later changed his views on Awolowo's role after many years when he took a more objective look at the situation, put himself in Awolowo's shoes and asked himself if he would have reacted differently from Awolowo in an identical circumstance. Moreover he looked beyond the immediate causes of the war to the remotest cause which has to do with the sabotage by his own kinsman, Azikiwe, of Awolowo's earlier motion for secession clause in 1954 and concluded in his memo that Zik, through his vainglorious personal ambition, caused all that Igbos suffered in the war and still suffer in Nigeria today unlike Awolowo who put Yorubas' Interest above his personal ambition all through.

There's nothing to know about.


Awolowo is simply two-faced and greedy.

Sarrki is the most annoying human being I've ever experienced in my entire life. No one ranks higher than this. I feel sorry for any soul that looks up to him for anything.

To hell with Ojukwu and his race! If he thinks awo offended him, If they started a war and didn't expect any casuality, they must be stupid and they are! Now that they on the other side, they should settle themselves.

This war is over 50 years ago in our nation.
The memories still lingers.
May we never experience war in our nation again.
Peace, Love and Unity is all we want in our darling nation.
In One and better Nigeria for all we will always believe.
Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime.
God bless Nigeria.
We Rise!
