WetinConsignMe:You keep mentioning " people" and "newspapers". No sensible leader makes decisions based on newspaper reports. The Biafran leadership had access to Awolowo before the ill-fated push to Lagos. And he had explicitly voiced against secession. So what's the argument here? 2 Likes |

logica:If they had not pushed to lagos, the secession bid may have been successful. |

lawani:Exactly! Gowon had accepted most of the demands of the Aburi Accord. The agreement broke down because of "difference" in interpretation on both sides. I would think I can guess who was at fault here, when a simple "allowed" in a statement can completely confuse a particular set of people. 2 Likes |

lawani: But Lagos was what Ojukwu really wanted. All that crap about biafra was just a ruse to get his gullible people on board. Ojukwu simply sacrificed his people for his inordinate ambition and when this didn't materialised, jumped ship and abandoned them to their fate. Even when his people were dying of hunger, ojukwu still persisted with the war. Ojukwu NEVER really cared for his people. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Dedetwo: Well, the only modern country where slavery was entrenched in the law was USA. By law if u were black u were a slave until proven otherwise, not if u were Hausa or Igbo. Ojukwu was the Ezeigbogburugburu, the ralying point, Igboness personified, yet he was more Yoruba than Igbo! Go figure! |

logica: My friend it was not just Biafran leadership. Everybody had the impression Awo would announce if Biafra announced. Here is proof. Aluko on what Awo told Ojukwu: Awolowo said, if the East left the federation, the Yoruba would have to leave the federation. Here are Action Group, man on the street, and Americans: “AG (Action Group) activists and the man on the street are convinced Awolowo made the statement under duress…They say Awolowo’s true position was indicated in the Leaders of Thought resolution in May, which said if any region seceded or forced out, the West would automatically become independent. The activists feel that Awolowo missed the opportunity to bring the present conflict to close by coming to Ibadan and make a Western Declaration of Independence speech supported by Victor Banjo and his National Liberation Army.” People were trying to justify why Awo.broke his promise not if he made a promise Here is Vanguard. The parenthesis can be infered. Why Awo did not make West to Secede (as he promised) VANGUARD 26 SEP 2017 Here are some reasons given why Awo couldn't keep his "promise": If Chief Awolowo had taken Western Region and Lagos out of the Federation at that time definitely Western Region and Lagos would have been the battle ground. And where were the troops and how prepared was he for a major war. At the time he made those declarations, officers of the Western Region in the Nigerian Army were less than 7%. At that time Lagos, Ibadan and Abeokuta garrisons were occupied by ‘northern troops’. Even the then Governor of Western Region, Major General Adeyinka Adebayo was not prepared for war. Chief Awolowo admitted on May 1, 1967 speech, that ‘We have neither the military might, nor the overwhelming advantage of numbers here in Western Nigeria and Lagos...' So, everybody understood Awo to mean -"if Biafra secedes, so will the South West" . His statement definitely did not mean "If Biafra secedes I will join Gowon administration and fight them" Ojukwu and peoople in the East were partly encouraged by Awo's statements to secede. |

Re: Olayinka Omigbodun, Victor Banjo’s Daughter: Ojukwu Betrayed My Dad, Killed Him by lawani: 3:39pm On Oct 14, 2017 |
Awo had already gotten the federal govt to remove northern troops from the west and would have stood by his words if not for the Biafran incursion into the west. |

Re: Olayinka Omigbodun, Victor Banjo’s Daughter: Ojukwu Betrayed My Dad, Killed Him by WetinConsignMe: 5:16pm On Oct 14, 2017 |
lawani: The aim was to enbolden Awo and people in the west. Why else was Banjo of all people put in charge. And remember Banjo was in contact with elements in the west all through. Read again: "The activists feel that Awolowo missed the opportunity to bring the present conflict to close by coming to Ibadan and make a Western Declaration of Independence speech supported by Victor Banjo and his National Liberation Army.” But then Banjo had his own agenda and western secession was not part of it! |
Re: Olayinka Omigbodun, Victor Banjo’s Daughter: Ojukwu Betrayed My Dad, Killed Him by WetinConsignMe: 5:24pm On Oct 14, 2017 |
lawani: Not true at all. Read Vanguard again: "At the time he made those declarations, officers of the Western Region in the Nigerian Army were less than 7%. At that time Lagos, Ibadan and Abeokuta garrisons were occupied by ‘northern troops’." Plus Awo was being personally watched and monitored by northern troops. Awo COULD NOT have stood by his words. Banjo of all people was put in command. That was the clearest signal to the West that it was not an invasion. |

logica: Everyone except you knows Gowon abandoned the Aburi accord once he got home. The excuse was that Ojukwu, being more educated, outsmarted him as no intellectual went with him. The chant in the East was "On.Aburi we stand!". |

WetinConsignMe:You keep bandying these silly Biafran propaganda full of typical arrogance laced with a huge dose of idiocy. You can find a list of the delegates here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aburi_Accord The problem is, you all were brought up with all kinds of silly and childish propaganda (that only children should believe) that crumble with the application of a little logic. Please for your own sake, outgrow the silly propaganda you were fed growing up. I myself had to research and unlearn all kinds of tripe I heard of that era. |

logica: HABA OGA! How can u be arguing something so obvious. First of all the victors wrote your "research". Just as they wrote that Gowon freed Awo fom Calabar, something that's impossible. Even at that WIKIPEDIA of all places is where u do your research??!!! There were people that witnessed these things. Femi Adesina is a Yoruba man, a one-Nigeria man, a Buhari man, an Awoist. Here is what he wrote (which everybody who witnessed the events knows fully well): Federal Government's Violation Of The Aburi Accord Led To The Nigerian Civil War - Femi Adesina (Femi Adesina is currently the special adviser on media and publicity to President Buhari.) "The meeting held on January 4 and 5, 1967, and came out with what is popularly known today as the Aburi Accord. The agenda of the meeting consisted of three crucial issues: (i) Reorganization of the Armed Forces (ii) Constitutional agreement (iii) Issues of displaced persons within Nigeria. The two-day meeting reached consensus that were acceptable to both sides... This was something akin to federalism, even under a military government... What does this mean again in simple language? Equity, fairness, true federalism. Matters like the holding of an ad hoc constitutional conference, fate of soldiers involved in the January 15, 1966 coup, rehabilitation of displaced persons, etc, were also amicably resolved, and the conferees returned happily to Nigeria. Only for the Federal side to deliver a blow to the solar plexus: The Aburi Accord, Gowon said, was unworkable, and he reneged on all the agreements". |

Electricdanger: If there were no hates among Nigerians, Nigeria/Biafra civil war would have never be a reality. What a shame you and forbearers have so much hate that you decided to precipitate a war of attrition on innocent people who wanted nothing more than a homeland. The Biafrans did not even steal a sachet of water from you and ilk. |

The mere fact that in this day and age you will believe such a puerile fabrication like "Gowon reneged because he was outsmarted with English by the more educated Ojukwu because he did not come with learned assistants" is enough to make an informed judgement about you. 1 Like |

logica: When next you post crap on this forum make sure the silly propaganda you were on about is free of your post. The link you provided listed Gowon as head of state under delegates from Nigeria which was far from truth unless in the mind of goofy and brainwashed onlookers from northern, western and midwestern regions. What a matter of insincerity. Even one dumbass named Commodore Joseph Edet Akinwale Wey was equally listed as Vice President of Nigeria. In a military setting, the Head of State does not have the position of "Vice President". Most Nigerians are inherently foolish. |

lawani: If it was the other way round and an IGBO MAN, in communication with Igbos, led an army into Biafra. Don't u think Igbos would have combined with him and chased Northerners out of their land? Part of the problem was that Banjo wanted personal power not Western secession. |
