The Real Hero Of Biafra War by damilogogle(m): 8:50am On Mar 27, 2020 |
When you talk about the Biafra war of 1967,many people only know Ojukwu.ojukwu was popular because he was the commander of Biafra army and his father was the financial power house of Biafra.infact ojukwu declared the war. But there was this handsome young man that I cherish his charisma very much,he was the second commander of Biafra army,he was resolute till the end,he was very brave and courageous young man,he is the person of GEN.PHILIP EFFIONG. This young man was fearless, courageous, focus and determined that if the war is going to end,it is going to end on Biafra victory,he is a very good and examplary leader,even when the battle became fierce that the commander Ojukwu ran to ivory coast he still stand tall and was maintaining the momentum with his boys.he triggered the beast in them and that why the refused to surrender at first when the call came. He was the one that ended the war when he sees that the people are dying and no support and his president is no where to be found,so he surrendered and that ended the Biafra war. There is one remarkable thing that this young did that made him the real hero of Biafra,he live and died a rebel and a Biafran soldier,and was buried with the Biafran flag.unlike ojukwu who later got assimilated into Nigerian army,and was buried by Nigeria government with Nigerian flag. 2 Likes

All the Biafran medals for Leadership should be shared between Effiong and Awolowo. Awo for devising a safety-net to quickly halt the calamity and stop the war from progressing much longer than necessary...very strategic and smart! Effiong for standing by what he believed in till the end and surrendering at a point when further continuance of hostility could have produced further suffering and deaths to the already damaged spirits and physically weak population in Biafra. His contributions have not been accurately and properly conceptualized, credited and rewarded. He deserves prominence in Biafra than Ojukwu. 1 Like 1 Share |

We do not disagree but Gowon and his de facto 'VP' Awolowo were the villains, one is dead with self-poisoning while the other is still running around organizing 'prayerfests' to atone for his sins while his village in the middlebelt is burnt to the ground by the fulanis he served. #PoeticJustice 1 Like 1 Share |

General Philip Effiong was a great man. He was the last president of Biafra. He fought for Biafra and had to take on the unenviable role of presiding over its surrender. Effiong was a freedom fighter 2 Likes |

Gowon, Awolowo and Efiong are the Heroes of Biafran War. While Ojukwu was the Coward like Nnamdi Kanu. 4 Likes 1 Share

obiekunie2:Before appending your signature in agreement to any document, scrutinize it properly to avoid regrets. Do you agree that Ojukwu declared the war as written by OP in the first paragraph? |

Yujin: Oga you know absolutely nothing. Ojukwu never declared any war. He only asked the murders who were busy murdering his people in cold blood to let his people go! your fulani slave fathers and their fulani masters committed heinous blood crimes that will hunt them and their great grand children even to the 13th generation. 1 Like 1 Share |

Afonja divisive things at it again. Other threads, Ibibio is not Biafra. Now they accept Ibibio is Biafra only because they want to use it to divide Igbos and Ibibios by piting Ojukwu and Effiong. Umu ekwesu! |

Ojukwu and Effiong will forever be in the hearts of biafrans.... #OjukwuEffiong the inseparable combo |
Re: The Real Hero Of Biafra War by donb06: 11:17am On Mar 28, 2020 |
It was Effiong that advised Ojukwu to be in the hiding as a real soldier that will forever be loyal to his C in C... #OjukwuEffiong.....When Effiong died #Ojukwu wept like a baby according to sources closed to him he couldn't eat for 3 days #OjukwuEffiong |
Re: The Real Hero Of Biafra War by donb06: 11:21am On Mar 28, 2020 |
Those pitting these two legends against each other are not only increasing the love for these beloved combo #OjukwuEffiong.... They are also fuelling the burning desire to continue their struggle....so continue |
Re: The Real Hero Of Biafra War by donb06: 11:24am On Mar 28, 2020 |
I'm assuredly convinced if they give them another opportunity they will like to fight alongside each other holding the lines and if need be Legend Effiong will still be loyal to his CinC as Ojukwu will still love his 2iC ...... You forever live in our memory #OjukwuEffiong |
Re: The Real Hero Of Biafra War by Dedetwo(m): 11:57am On Mar 28, 2020 |
damilogogle: Gen. Effiong will laugh you off the forum because you have shown the symptom of dunce who knows next to nothing about tactical withdrawal in warfare. The day Ojukwu left Biafra, Gen. Effiong stood at Uli air strip to wave farewell to Ojukwu who left with certain members of Effiong's family. |
