FrLukas: Whoever that posted above crap is moronically insincere. Anyway, Nigerians are roots of insincerity. Gowon declared war on eastern region when he included eastern region in his destructive madness when he replaced regionalism with states. It was even idiotic on the part of Gowon to include a region which did not recognize his position as C-in-C in the foolery of creation of states. 1 Like |

Duru1: Guess who lost 3 million people in the needless war? Who is the slowpoke now? You think gragra will solve your problems? How far with your march for Biafra of 2017 or is it 2015? I forget. What has it yielded? Those who died in that march do we remember their names? It's a free world where whoever chooses to be stupid can do so to his heart's content. |

Witcher: You are very delusional and one of the reasons Ogoni had been dilapidated. I am not sure between you and Saro-Wiwa who had most destructive effect on Ogoni. Without the SBPC, Ken Saro-Wiwa could have ended up as elementary school teacher or drunken fisherman. Ken Saro-Wiwa's father was garri supplier to Government College, Umuahia. I knew how he got the contract. The SBPC's scholarship utilized by Ken Saro-Wiwa was meant for Ogoni peeps whose parents could not afford to pay their wards school fees yet it was skewed to Ken Saro-Wiwa. Ken Saro-Wiwa was product of corruptible tendencies such as nepotism and cronyism. 1 Like |

FrLukas: Wars had been fought regardless human consequences. Another war is rising from the horizon. If Gowon and other Nigerians had any brain cell, they should not have foisted war of attrition on Biafra. Many years later, the consequences of the war are threatening the shithole called Nigeria again. |

Witcher: The only persons who saw anything under prism of Osu Cast System in this discuss are you and Ken Saro-Wiwa. His father cornered the SBPC scholarship meant for needy Ogani kids for his son. When the jackass was enjoying the money from Shell British Petroleum Company (SBPC) in high school and university, he never thought Ogoni land was been polluted. When he was appointed the Sole Administrator of Bonny by Gowon, Ken Saro-Wiwa never thought about Ogoni land being polluted. When he was appointed commissioner for education in Rivers State, Ken Saro-Wiwa never remembered that Ogoni land had been polluted. However when he fell out of favor with government at the center, the jackass remembered that Ogoni land had been polluted. Ken Saro-Wiwa cannot eat his cake and have it. He was turncoat and the dinner was rightfully served. 1 Like |

Duru1: Yes, I was wrong about the seniority and the the universities and you mainly right, but hear from the Rtd. General, Olufemi Olutoye I made a lot of friends in the military. There was Emeka Ojukwu, who was a very good friend. I remember I visited him at Oxford University when he was graduating. I was then already a graduate doing post-graduate studies at Cambridge University and I went to visit fellow Nigerians who were also at Oxford University. I met Ojukwu there only to discover later that we would meet again in the Army. Read his interview here: https://allafrica.com/stories/201805060019.html |

Confused human Dimka Odumegwu Ojukwu of Biafra-Biafaa or Bia-Kpara, Ogoni version! With due respect to reasonable Igbos and the public. It isn't proper to rejoice over anyone's death. I'm also not doing so, rather pointing to the man Ojukwu. I hope readers would understand my truth that can be found through history and can't be disproved otherwise. Ojukwu, who was good in his own right couldn't stand Ken Saro-Wiwa and his truth about Ogoni-saving our people from Biafra and Ojukwu's madness and greed (popularly known as Nigerian-Biafran Civil War, 1967-1970), was the number one coward. Ojukwu sold Biafra due to his greed for oil and disrespect for Ogonis and other minorities of today's Niger delta. Biafra was mostly harshed due to the presence of Ogoni/Niger delta oil. If it succeeded Ogonis, who were already enslaved by Igbos in Ogoni land will be registered slaves today. Saro-Wiwa saw this and fought against it. Thus his crime at the hands of Ojukwu and other Biafran praise-singers who then sought Saro-Wiwa's head. Meanwhile, Ojukwu ran away from his people at a critical moment into exile. Millions of innocent Igbos (Ogonis and other minorities also died in numbers at home and Igbo camps) killed while he ran away. No wonder seasoned Igbos, including late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe refused to support Ojukwu and his Biafran insanity! Though Ojukwu returned from Ivory Coast under Shehu Shagari or so. He couldn't have the opportunity to fight to revive Biafra again. This was contrary to the saying: he who fight and run away lives to fight another day. Saro-Wiwa stood by his people to the end. He's a global hero while Ojukwu is the Igbo coward! As mentioned inter alia, death is an inevitable end, so not proper to rejoice over the death of others. I'm not rejoicing over Ojukwu's death. Ojukwu's death, however, can't come without the truth about him, unlike the lies he told abroad about Saro-Wiwa and Ogonis. I hope readers may understand. Because Ojukwu was cheap, greedy, yet with one of the best education but knew nothing to do with it, he's bribed by the Federal government of Nigeria (under Sanni Abacha), sponsored abroad to justify the world's environmental and human rights hero's (Saro-Wiwa) unjust hanging. The coward in Ojukwu couldn't get away with that trash! He's bathed in rotten eggs; a high profile disgrace given in the West, when he went to London justifying Saro-Wiwa's unjust death of Nov. 10, 1995. Today, Ojukwu is left to the Igbos of his kind and some Nigerians such as Goodluck Jonathan, who love violence and has already said, according to Sahara Reporters' Nov. 26 report, "Ojukwu's place in Nigerian history is assured." Anyone still unsure that Jonathan and his Nigerian cabal hate Saro-Wiwa and Ogoni? How shameful to see a country love and honor violence and trash nonviolence and intellectual discussions, arguments for rights (as with Saro-Wiwa and Ogonis) and freedoms to the cutters! That is the Nigeria run by the so-called majority ethnic groups for you. We can see Boko Haram like Ojukwu's Biafra, in action, supported also by Jonathan and his Hausa counterparts. We can see Jonathan sit and look confused, not sure of what to do with Boko (like he paid off Niger delta militants whose agitation was just, if not their greed and unintellectual approach) begging for help from America. Finally, is Jonathan, one of the Ojukwu-Biafran violent praise-singer confused about the peaceful Ogonis, their just agitation for political, social and economic justice, ruined environment? No! He and the Federal government is hardened, waiting for a period when news may come that all Ogonis are extinct due to environmental degradation and government, $hell's inaction and stupidity. Shame on Nigeria, because Ogoni, which is older than Nigeria will live to shame the Ojukwus and its Nigerian oppressors![/quote] |

AceRoot: Weird, but self correction must be made here: I searched and found out that I was wrong about The Yoruba officer commissioned as being the the first graduate of the Nigerian Army. Ojukwu remains the first. And the Yoruba officer graduated first, but from Cambridge though !! That officer was Rtd. Gen. Olufemi Olutoye and I apologize for not knowing of his of meritorious service as the first Nigerian Director of Army Education. He also said I made a lot of friends in the military. There was Emeka Ojukwu, who was a very good friend. I remember I visited him at Oxford University when he was graduating.

I Never Knew At This Age, someone can Still Reason This Way. If What You Wrote Is true, where Is Saro Wiwa? How Is Ogoni today? No Niger Delta Fighter Is Real. They Are All Selfish. Ojukwu refused Saro Wiwa's selfish And Greedy Intentions To sale Off Their people For Money. He Collected The Money and Believed In The Promises They Made To Him And Betrayed The Course They Are fighting. After The War, they Never Fulfilled The Promises, He(Saro Wiwa) started Demanding For Fulfilment of Their agreement. They Refused And Warned Him Several Times To Back Off, Which He Refused After Remembering his Roles In The War, The Betrayals And Ojukwu advise And Warning.

FrLukas: To fight for freedom, even at the cost of 3 million lives, may be stupid to you, but it is not to others. We are not all the same nor do we reason alike For the Igbos, it was better to fight for freedom, no matter the cost, than to be reduced to slaves willingly. Freedom is one of the few honourable things in life worth fighting and dying for. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesnt, but there never any shame is fighting for freedom 1 Like |

PHijo: You’re an unmatched idiat! You want to heap the mess you bigoted scumbags wrought on this shithole of a country on Ndigbo that last held power at the centre in 1966!? You no well! The minorities would have been slaves to whom, and in what way!? Didn’t Ojukwu declare secession after meeting with all the ethnicities of the then Eastern Region!? I suppose said ‘minorities’ are free today and not slaves to ‘one Nigeria’ that you schmucks convinced them was a better option!? They control their resources; have pollution-free waters; have a equal shot at being president of their country....and can do two terms in office without being railroaded out of office; and have cities, seaports and airports equal in status with say Lagos and Abuja!? What was the nature of this Adaka Boro secession you keep on yapping about!? Which ethnicities were consulted and part of the bid!? Was Ironsi acting in behalf of Igbos or ‘one Nigeria’!? By you mentioning the Boro secession bid, are you now in support of it, or is this just looking for a way to blame Ndigbo for something!? Your homework is to go and read up on the Ahiara declaration to find out the kind of egalitarian society Biafra was poised to become! |

gidgiddy: Well, hello! News flash for you. You still don't have the freedom you lost millions of lives for and you are still stuck in Nigeria. Do you know the most painful part of it all? You went right back to hobnobbing with the same Hausa/Fulanis that massacred you. Promptly, you rejected Ojukwu at the polls and voted for Shagari, a Fulani man while you were contented to be his sidekick. That was a pretty quick recovery from the war, right? Millions of souls lost just so you could go back to becoming the sidekick of the Fulanis. No. The war was a mistake. It shouldn't have happened if Ojukwu had listened to the great sage, Chief Awolowo. Here we are today, no better than before the war. |

AceRoot: When Olufemi Olutoye came to Cambridge for further studies, Ojukwu graduated the same year 1955. Now Olufemi Olutoye fininshed from Cambridge not Oxford in 1956. He became a high school principal in western region of Nigeria. In 1959, Olufemi Olutoye joined Nigeria army. By the time Olufemi was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in 1960, Ojukwu was already a Captain. When Olufemi Olutoye was a Captain in 1966, Ojukwu was a Lt Col. It must recall that Ojukwu enlisted in 1957 while Olutoye enlisted in 1959. What is wrong with most Nigerians? Ordinary year, they cannot calculate. 1 Like |
