Awolowo And Ojukwu: Men With Visions That MAKES Or MARS Their Tribe. by Vikkie14: 4:59am On Apr 29, 2015
To the Igbo's and those still agitating for the Sovereign State of Biafra, Ojukwu IS A LEGEND AND MENTOR.
To the Yoruba's and Hausa's HE IS A COWARD AND A TRAITOR.



Chukwuemeka Ojukwu is trully a legend and a mentor because he fought for a cause. Ojukwu fought against the injustice he perceived were being done to his people by declaring Biafr-- a feat he thought would give a leverage over Igbo's oppression in Nigeria. He practically want to give the best he could to halt the 'hatred' against the Igbos. He felt that, that would alleviate his people's suffering in the hands of Nigeria and Nigerians(Yoruba's and Hausa's--as they want us to believe), who have marginalized them both in the Civilian and Military Service. He has a vision and a mission for his people just that his vision were costly at the end of the day. He lost over a million of his people to the agitation in his vision to reduced the partiality and contempt showered on his tribe.


On the other hand Chief Awolowo, has a more robust vision for the Yoruba race. His vision for an economically-sound SW made him build social infrastructures, gives free education and build Cocoa House in Oyo state with money generated from Cocoa. Infact, some of the roads and bridges constructed with COCOA MONEY during his days are today still standing and better off than those of today(with some exceptions) in term of Quality, Durability and Standard. He was passionate about the Progress of Nigeria and he support the ONENESS of Nigeria-- reason why he stop the transporting of foodstuff to the Biafran's side that resulted in starvation.
Though the declaration of NO VICTOR, NO VANQUISHED by GOWON whose name had been termed (Go On With One Nigeria.)save the day or else the agitation by the Igbos (of today) for Biafra would have been higher than presently experienced.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo was referred to as THE BEST PRESIDENT NIGERIA "NEVER" HAD by the Late Chukwuemeka Ojukwu.
Both are LEGENDS who against all odds fought and worked to better the lives and living of their peoples.


While Awolowo's vision MAKES the Yoruba's, Ojukwu's vision MARS the Igbo's.

Awolowo never believed in anything that's why he died like nothing. He is coward. He has no choice of his. Zik bring him to nigeria, Gowon kept him in Nigeria even to this days.

Yorubas fight for your own country. ..Nigeria is not a country. ..

It is Yoruba cowardice and timidity that make them want Igbos to remain in Nigeria. Igbos give those cowards a kind of protection and cover from their masters up north. That is why if igbos secede now, yorubas will secede from their Hausa masters.

Yorubas fight for your own country. ..Nigeria is not a country. ..

Your hero committed suicide. Your hero is coward who never fight for your freedom. Your hero had no choice of his, remember Zik made him accept nigeria and Gowon made him stay in Nigeria. Your hero believed nothing and die like nothing. ..WHAT A BIG SHAME

op you are obviously crazy for comparing a great person like awolowo with that lunatic(ojukwu) who thought chest beating could make him win a war.

Is really pathetic for ibo people to call ojukwu their hero. A man who led 2million of his people to their early graves because of his selfish and greedy ambition is called a warlord by some people, how sick can that people ever get?



Don't you ever put awolowo and the midnight runner in same category ever again because is outright insult to the sense of odua people and a ridicule to awolowo dynasty....
Rather ojukwu and adolf hitler should be competing for the destroyers of human lives award.

Hilter led millions of his people to their early grave, same thing ojukwu did.

between someone who took his life after all the frustrations from not having the opportunity to rule Nigeria for just one day after all his slavery to his fulani masters and someone who died a natural death after giving a sense of direction to his people who is the great person

I don't really see Ojukwu as a coward. He is just a greedy man who bit more than he can chew and in doing so sentenced millions of his people to their death. One thing that worries me is that, he couldn't die with them. Unlike Hitler, he choose the easier option.

Ibadan is the capital of yorubaland which benefited immensely from the cocoa money, how come Ibadan looks like a cave when compared with Enugu, despite the later having witnessed a war? How come despite the free education, igbo states still produce better students and still has higer cut off points than yoruba states? Real irony and by the way, nobody cares what yorubas and fulanis thinks of us? We dont even regard those people

Everyone of you arguing about dead men this morning are very sick, you are all sick in your soul, you need serious detoxification of your soul. Is your tribe written on your body or soul? What make you Ibo or Yoruba? Tomorrow if you become an American citizen, does your culture or mindset suddenly change and you start defending America and all the good and bad decisions made by America. Look no one is superior to the other, we are all human and will all die human when the time alloted to each soul is completed. We were only modified by the environment and culture we were born into. stop wasting your emotions and energy on a 48 year old event, learn from their good deeds and drop any of their misdeeds. Your own destiny is infront of you, do something with it. South Sudan and North Sudan were one a few years back, their separation didn't make a difference, poverty is still the order of the day, we can live together as brothers or perish together as fools. Good morning

This writeup is from the Mind and not from the Heart. When you talk from your Heart on a Subject such as this, Nigeria's Good will be the AIM. But when you talk from your Mind, you follow your Motives all through. Awo saw himself a Nigerian first and straigth from his heart. He was selfless for the majority and the majority accepted his leadership. Ojukwu was self-opinionated, selfish and reckless. A Nigerian child, armed with matches and petrol and determined to burn his Nation, we begged him, Aburi experience, but he would not listen. And so caused the death of many Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas, Fulanis etc. God shall judge us all.

Don't mind the moronic, idiotic and pathetic bigots. Most of them are jobless and cursed. The two heroes of the two tribes have come and gone, contributed their quota and left a legacy. Yet these bàstards won't concentrate on their lives, all they do is hurl tribal invectives at each other as if tribes makes us less human. Nobody hates Nigerians like Nigerians.
