princejayboss:I have my observation sir! Ojukwu's action may seem good to some(especially his tribesmen) but to the other ethnic groups in the Delta, it was more of imposing the desire of one man, an outsider on the entire group. You will agree with me that the agitation for a different state was the chief demands of the people of Old Rivers(Rivers and Bayelsa) and old Cross river(cross river and Akwa ibom). The people were pained that the then eastern region wasn't giving heed to their demand yet invaded their lands in the name of a republic that they never signed up for. Don't forget that Boro's ND Republic was precipitated by the loss of confidence on the eastern region and the coming of the unelected military led by Ironsi. You see, the point? Ojukwu was aware that the Ijaws, Efiks and others were happy with the state creation and his rejection was interpreted as an affront. Beside, why did he "invade" midwest to declare it another republic when they never asked for it? Truth is Ojukwu was ambitious. 5 Likes |

Johniyke2flex:You didn't get your facts straight.Ojukwu was buried with full Military and State honours.I don't know how he was made a viallian.You talk about injustice,what justice did your ancestors do to Ahmadu Bello,Balewa,Akintola,Maimalari,Ademulegun and Co who were brutally murdered.We also know our history.We are ready to also defeat you just like our father do urs 3 Likes |

jonnieoneng: Keep confusing yourself... Do you even know what lead to the aburi issue? Are you trying to tell me that Gowon came to Aburi alone ? No other member of the ruling council? What stops Awolowo from joining the aburi meeting.... He was hoping that if a coup happens ... He will be able access power control? There a draft and assessment of the aburi document before hand remember? What stops Gowon from studying it with his advisers.... Or are you telling me that ojukwu has more advisers than a head of state ? Nobody forced him to sign the accord? Was he under duress? What is ambition in trying to take your people away from the other that can never love them... In September 1966 .... Over 30,000 igbo people were killed .... Go to Wikipedia...you will find ..... Finally ... You need to stop listening to wrack history from people who want to keep you from the truth.... Believing that igbo were too ambitious to go away from Nigeria is like believing that Palestine has a state in now land of Israel...... You need to be there or have the right history to know the factual truth |

You will see the story is different from what you ever had... No body wants war again but there is war every front loses.... Remember its like those day when dealing are very legit.... Now one can get any kind of weapon from back door deals, black markets ... No body will really gain another war... I have given the western world the best all physics in me .... I hope it comes to point I don't use it for the bad. Jah bless |

TonyeBarcanista: My brother opinion are like ass holes... We are entitled to one... The fact that the 1966 pogrom was solely on the people of then eastern Nigeria justified the aburi accord... He was then the governor of the eastern states.. remember in February 24 1967 he called a meeting of the ethnic leaders in the then eastern region held at old presidential hotel Enugu.... He formally inform them of his plans which 98% agreed to it If the leaders were not able to get the message to their people... Who is ojukwus fault... He personally can not reach out them all. Remember that the fall of Biafra happened in the south south as they could not stand to hold the Nigeria army for so long. My brother take it or leave it .... You can quite agree with me that the ND people are often dynamic... They never stand on one place..... I meet one of the best neurologist in Latin America... He is from Delta, very old man.... He said this to me " we the ND let ourselves down during the war.... I know few will accept this fact but as a youth we truly did not do anything to kept Biafra alive" What am trying to say is this ....every leader have to be ambitious and as such ojukwu was ..... Personally I don't really see similarities in ideology, culture, in fact in everything that made us one ..... We are here trying to make fun of the photo yet our youths kept quiet despite the fact that our nation was and have operating as an Islamic nation... 1 Like |

princejayboss:Who are the ethnic leaders that he met in Enugu? Can you name names? I think we should be honest here. The agitation by ethnic groups was on state of their own. They got it and next someone came with a Biafra. Haba bros...ojukwu was the Governor of eastern region without rivers and cross river states as at then. At best, he should have restricted himself to his new region. What was he doing in Rivers and Cross river? Who even told you that the SS people fought for Biafra? Let's be honest my oga. 98% of SS people were for Nigeria. 1 Like 1 Share |
