Brugo:
Even Achebe did not lie as much you did, Op.



One thing about igbos is that they regard insolent disobedience as a virtue. Ojukwu would never have supporters if he were born a non-igbo.

The stubborn and self-destructive behaviour that made him abandon a good, structured life as a businessman is the very same behaviour that caused the avoidable death of other stubborn impressionable igbos.

You people should have foreseen the disaster in following a man like that. But you’re igbos. You actually love such behaviour. Look at how Kanu is using your heads. He will use his mouth to incite other tribes to hate you then run away to England to enjoy himself.

Ojukwu was delusional, thinking he could take on the rest of the country. That’s fine. But for a whole nation of igbos to buy into that delusion is something worthy of research. How could so many people suspend their common sense to pursue a lost cause?

You are right, this is so true.

FrLukas:


Wrong narrative.

Ojukwu declared a war on Nigeria when he seceded.

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.

ablejesus26:


the only thing that caught my attention is that he was the first graduate to enter the army

even though I disapprove of the war

we can never change the fact that he was a very great man

Of course, he was a great man. He had university degree from Oxford University, civil servant position of ADO (Assistant District Officer) and a parentage with the deepest pocket yet he abandoned all the goodies and joined rough and tumble world of a soldier.

You cant blame Lugard but you can blame Ojukwu? Which clause did Lugard use in creating Nigeria?

Blame Lugard for if he had not created Nigeria, there would be nothing to fight about. Since when he created Nigeria in 1914, the people have been fighting each other to this day

And they will keep fighting until we restructure or Go separate ways... the people can't stand themselves

Ojukwu, The Coward Secessionist-

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!

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.

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.

why Ibos see everything through the prism of Osu cast system

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.

From Wikipedia

One of the coup's prominent targets, Major-General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, caught wind of the plot and escaped capture. He then began to move against the coup conspirators. Ironsi eventually managed to prevent the coup and then took power himself.


Jesus Christ.

From the article above.

General Ironsi then siezed power and appointed Ojukwu Military Governor of the Eastern Region.

You mean Ojukwu was among those that betrayed Nzeogwu for power. Unbelievable.

But wait if I'm correct Nzeogwu later joined the Biafran army after being released from prison? If so why fight for the same people who betrayed him?

Duru1:


There was no Nigerian who graduated from Oxford university and joined Nigerian army before Ojukwu. Ojukwu was the first Nigerian with university degree to join the army. James Olufemi Oluleye joined the army with Grade III teachers certificate. Victor Banjo was already Regimental Sargent Major when he was commissioned as an officer and later obtained university degree. Olufemi Olutoye graduated from Cambridge in 1956 and taught as a high school principal then enlisted in 1959.

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.

Please note that this is not true at all. A Yoruba officer who had finished from Oxford before Emeka had the honour of being the first graduate to join the Nigerian Army. Sadly the gentleman joined the Education Corps of the Army and never became famous or infamous. I wish I could remember his name though.

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 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.

He tells his story here: https://allafrica.com/stories/201805060019.html

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.

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.

Please Ask Sincere People, You'll Get The Truth.

I still wonder why this man join army sef....what a waste of talent. One of the Africa's finest.

gidgiddy:
The British officers at Kaduna kept wondering what an Oxford graduate was doing as a private in the Army and sent him for officers course in England. Ojukwu returned in 1957 and was commissioned a second Lieutenant, the first graduate to join the Nigerian Army.

Ojukwu rose rapidly through the Army. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1958, Captain in 1960, Major in 1962 and Lieutenant Colonel in 1964.

Ojukwu was commander of the 4th battalion, Kano, when the first coup happened in January 1966.

As the coup unfolded, Major Nzeogwu called on Ojukwu to join the coup to which Ojukwu refused. Ojukwus refusal to join Nzeogwu is one of the major reasons why Nzeogwu's coup eventually failed.

General Ironsi then siezed power and appointed Ojukwu Military Governor of the Eastern Region.

6 months later, mid-level officers of the Nigerian of Northern extraction conducted a coup that led to the overthrow and killing of Ironsi, and the installment of Lt Col Yakubu Gowon as head of state. The coup also greenlighted a pogrom in which over 30,000 Easterners, mainly Igbos, were killed all over Nigeria, particularly in the North.

The inability of Gowon to stop the killings, the resentment in the Eastern Region against his government and the fact that Ojukwu was senior to Gowon caused bad blood between both men

The crisis became so bad that the then President of Ghana, General Joe Ankrah, intervened and invited both Gowon and Ojukwu to his Hiltop Mansion in Aburi, Ghana, for peace talks in January of 1967.

After two days of discussions, Ojukwu and Gowon signed an agreement that was to be known as the Aburi Accord.

A few months after their return from Ghana, Gowon broke the Aburi accord they signed by issuing decree 14 of 1967 which abolished all the 4 Regions, created 12 states, reversed the fical federalism practiced, changed the revenue sharing formular, all in a bid to increase the power of the North over the rest of Nigeria

For Ojukwu, it was the last straw. Ojukwu convened the Eastern Nigerian Consultative Forum, a body that comprised of all the chiefs and head of the 20 provinces that made up the Eastern Region. They sat and discussed for 2 days and mandated Ojukwu to declare the Eastern Region a separate country. On the 30th of May 1967, Ojukwu declared the Eastern Region a separate country called the Republic of Biafra.

In retaliation, Gowon declared war. The war raged on for 3 years and ended in January 1970 with Ojukwu handing over to his deputy, General Effiong, flying into exile in Ivory Coast and the subsequent surrender of Biafra.

Ojukwu later returned from exile 12 years later. He died in London in 2011 aged 78. His burial remains the greatest ever witnessed in Nigeria

Ojukwu is still revered by most Igbos because they believe he fought for their freedom.

He wasn't the first graduate to join the Nigeria Army

Duru1:


You are worse than the poster you intended to correct if the only error you detected is the rank of Gowon. You are not qualified to indulge in this debate. What the hell do you know about police action? From the crap you posted above, I can bet my last cent you do not know how to read ordinary calendar created in cardinal form. Please get lost!!

lol, unfortunately, I am not here to abuse anyone, disrespect or type rubbish. Speaking of literacy I am pretty sure I am better educated than you and also attended a better higher institution. Now back to the article, if the writer can not get the right rank of Gowon and could not mention why a police action became a full-blown war he or she shouldn't be taken seriously.As for you try to educate your self better and leave sentiments aside.

General Ojukwu our eternal father, hallow be thy name

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

PHijo:


You are dumb or ignorant! In the first place the so called minorities are suffering today, courtesy of Igbo elite actions between 1950 till date.

Do your research, nobody wants to be a slave. The stupid Aburi accord Ojukwu and his associates flaunt would have enslaved the minorities permanently with no hope for freedom.

If things were well, Adaka Boro wouldn't have been the first to attempt secession. Ironically, an Igbo was head of state and another Igbo was eastern regional governor when Boro led his secessionist movement.

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!

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.

Read his interview here:
https://allafrica.com/stories/201805060019.html

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.
