Mr gidgiddy, What about these lies you people have been peddling for 50years.

That Awolowo cause the starvation of your children despite that Robert Goldstein resignation letter exposed ojukwu.

That Awolowo died of rat poison even though you guys no get proof or doctor report.

That they killed you in west by yorubas

That Yorubas seize your properties in west even though it is written everywhere that your properties were given back to you. Even many of your brothers that their parents had properties in west then testified to it.

That ojukwu released awolowo despite video showing otherwise.

That awolowo betrayed ojukwu even though we have been asking you guys to show us the agreement they have.

That biafran armies did not bomb casino cinema.


Waiting for you.

That

The correct thing will be to open your own thread about the lies again Awolowo.

You'd appear like you want to derail this thread by changing the topic from Ojukwu to Awolowo

You should start your own thread to debunk whatever lies you think has been told against Awolowo. This thread is about Ojukwu, not Awolowo.

A general never abandons his troops in the heat of battle, that's the classic definition of cowardice. What happens if your enemy decides to slaughter your troops and your people who you purport to be protecting.
The Nigerian civil war was not the first civil war in modern times, but it is the only war the general commanding a side ran away in the heat of battle. During the US civil war, Robert Lee who was the president of the south and the general that commanded the southern army personally surrounded and negotiated the terms of the surrender, he did not run away because of fear for his life.

If we are to even accepted your warped history that Awolowo commited suicide, then that is far more bravery than running away. If IBB wanted to kill him and Awo decided to commit suicide rather than be killed or humiliated, that is an act of bravery. History had it that cleopatra of Egypt choose to commit suicide that allow herself to be captured by Octavian, and be humiliated. She is celebrated for that act of bravery till today.

A general that is afraid to die is not worth to be called a General.
Even efunsetan aniwura, iyalode Ibadan, a woman for that matter refused to run. She rather commit suicide than being captured. Only coward runs away.

Really? So Lord Lugard had the mandate to create Nigeria because the British conquered the indigenous people of the land?
YES. That was the situation in all lands conquered by the British, French, Spanish and all other conquests since the dawn of history.



Well if you believe that then you should have no problem understanding why Ojukwu and his people had to fight to preserve their sovereignty and not be in Nigeria
Ojukwu led rebellion had nothing to do with Lord Lugard or preserving sovereignty, it was as a result of the aftermath of the January and July 1966 coups, which led to massacres of igbos in the north. Ojukwu stepped in to stop the massacres and not because he initially cared about sovereignty.



Lugard created Nigeria by the barrel of gun, Ojukwu created Biafra by consultation, yet Lugard had more legitimacy because he came from Europe to rain bullets on your ancestors? Colonial mentality is truly horrible

It was not Lord Lugard that created Nigeria out of the barrel of the gun. It was the British crown than created Nigeria out of the barrel of the gun. Lugard was just a British soldiers that was posted to wherever the British government wish. He was first appointed. Lord Lugard was not even involved in the British conquest of southern Nigeria, he only led the conquest of Northern nigeria. He was appointed high commissioner of Northern nigeria after the conquest. It was 15 years after the being appointed high commissioner of Northern nigeria that the British completed the conquest of southern Nigeria and put it under his control. So it made more sense for him to almagamate the two Nigeria's instead of administering them separately. From Nigeria he was posted to Hong Kong.

Read the bolded and kindly stop exposing your shallowness. Dude! Did you really study your Government in school?
For your information, there exist no legislative nonsense in the military. Military rule is characterized by edicts and decrees.
From Ironsi to Abdulsalami the military junta didn’t share powers with the Legislature. It is only in civilian rule that you have the separation of powers between the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature.

Gowon in question summoned his cabinet and appointees the likes of Awolowo etc at his own wihims and caprices. That was the same way Ojukwu summoned the provincial heads and Chiefs of the Eastern region. So Ojukwu didn’t need any Legislature to summon the leaders of the old east.[/b]


Military rule is a rule by the use of force, where military men hijacked power from the legitimate civilian rulers. They use sanctions to keep that power. Gowon’s leadership in question was illegitimate, same as that of Ironsi before him. Ojukwu himself, wasn’t appointed by Gowon and he Gowon had no power to remove him. It was left in the hands of the eastern house of assembly whom themselves have been illegally removed by Ironsi’s junta. However, the house of chiefs was from time to time consulted by Ojukwu in the scheme of things.
If Gowon had the powers to rule and legitimize his junta in the eyes of the civilian populace, Ojukwu too had the same power to do likewise.
I don't even have the strength to continue arguing senselessly.
Gowon planned a coup and succeeded, so he naturally became the head of state of the whole country. Ojukwu was appointed by the last coupist ( Ironsi who had been murdered). Eastern region was not a sovereign state, even though Ojukwu felt it was and he was head of state of eastern region.

I don't understand you arguing both ways. First you said "there exist no legislative nonsense in the military" which implies that Ojukwu could act without taking permission or authority from anybody, then you argue that Ojukwu Ojukwu summoned the provincial heads and Chiefs of the Eastern region to take a deciding on secession - meaning it decision to declare secession was not Ojukwu's. So which is it?

Gowon as head of state could appoint anyone into his cabinet, but the final decisions rests with him, and he took responsible for everything.

Read my comments again. Biafra forced them and killed those that refused. There are some other lies in the in ur write but I don't have time to be digging about when we can spend that time to embrace one another.

This false narrative was one of the instruments of war against Biafra. Majority of the minorities in the eastern Nigeria supported the Biafran effort 100%.
Anyone who committed war crimes whether in Nigeria or Biafra was punished.
The punishment was not limited to only the minorities as you insinuate, because many Igbos were equally punished for fighting against their nation.

Unfortunately, and somehow, and in addition to the abandoned property, and boundaries adjustment, the citizens of the former eastern Nigeria have been pitted against each by the federal government media machine. Don't get confused.

Does that mean that Bola Tinubu, Dele Momodu and Wole Soyinka are cowards? All three men were agitating against the Sani Abacha's rule but when Sani Abacha sent his death squad after them, all 3 men fled to London

Should all 3 men have stayed in Nigeria to be slaughtered along with Kudirat Abiola, Pa Rewane and others who fell to Abachas hit squad?

What matters is that they fought against dictatorship and impunity but I do not expect them to relax and be slaughtered by Abacha so as to prove their bravery



Staying back to be slaughtered is not bravery, it is stupidity. Bravery is standing up to fight against overwhelmingly odds like Ojukwu

Your opinion would have made more sense but for the "I'm aN iGbO mAn FrOm AbA" part.

Being "An IgBo MaN fRoM aBa" does not legitimize ur opinion, nor does it make it the truth.
