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!

And now under Nigeria Ogoni pepoe are free born. It was Ojukwu that killed Ken saro wiwa.
Some of these minorities in the south are so dumb. Even in Nigeria today after the war they are still being and waxing anger against the Igbo as if it's the Igbo is their problem. With all the herdsmen and evil politicians ravaging their country they still blame the Igbo.
All the ethnic group in this country is blaming the Igbo. They swear for una. All these are all show of jealous and greed. 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. 2 Likes 1 Share |

If it (Biafra) 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. While you have every right to be annoyed for historical reasons but Saro-Wiwa later realized his mistake for not standing with Biafra. Its said that Ojukwu once visited Niger-Delta and told Saro-Wiwa ''good morning'' in the afternoon. Saro-Wiwa woke up late!. So, Ojukwu's anger was a retaliation because he didn't get Niger-Delta's support when he needed it most. Why give support to Saro-Wiwa; when Niger-Delta refused to support Biafra? You see, that was the motive. Having said that, Niger-Delta and especially Ogoni land is still in slavery today and would continue to be because you people have refused to see the big picture. Your elites (Jonathan and co) are very greedy and shortsighted, just like you. Don't worry, Biafra is not interested in Niger-Delta. As a matter of fact, when Biafra established, the Niger-Delta would be carved out of our map, so you all would continue to be enslaved by the North. Don't forget that. |

Nice one but this is a Biafran version/perspective of the civil war history.
[i][/i]
Our own version clearly stated that it was Ojukwu that broke the Aburi agreement
Why did Nzwego Kaduna start the first coup in the first place, what was he aiming at by annihilating all the northern and western leaders while he spared the lives of Azikiwe and Ironsi. Hypocrisy at its peak.
After the Major Kaduna coup, Igbo traders in SW and North were mocking and rubbing it on the face of Northerners and Yorubas that the country belongs them. We know how Narcssist they can be. Hence the reason for retaliation from the Northerners.
Instead of Ironsi to court marshal Nzwego, ifuajana and their cronies he didn't, he decided to give them presidential pardon in a lowkey, thats what infuriated the Northern and western military officers which lead to the second coup.
In conclusion from the start to the end of the civil war igbos were the genesis they caused it all.
No! I disagree with you,nzeogwu also planned to annihilate ironsi,but ironsi escaped and even prevented the coup be from further progressing and it's not even like it's only the igbos that were involved in that coup.....
There's nothing like Igbo coup only the foolish ones in the North interpreted otherwise and caused the senseless killing and slaughter of more than 30 thousand igbos,ojukwu saw this and never wanted to share the same country with bloodsucking vultures and declared BIAFRA...

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. Ojukwu was one of the greatest freedom fighters the world has seen and will continue to be revered for his fight for the freedom of Biafra |

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 nothing but an agent of divide and rule. |

So many lessons to learn:
1. Do not seek to crowd in and overburden your children.
2. With the wisdom of God counsel and involve your children in planning their future and let them make their choices but take care to insulate yourself from the pressure their wrong choices often involve.
3. Do not let your children have all they want only taking care to ensure their needs are met.
4. Children must slow down to come down to the level of their parents in planning the future knowing that the benefit of experience is invaluable.
5. It is arguable whether Col. Ojukwu maximised his potential, left a legacy worth calling one for his children and became more accomplished in life than his father before death came calling. Historians over to you! |

this summary is poorly written and the event are lies. 1st Gowon was a Lt Col not a Lt. also war was decleared when Biafran forces invaded the Midwest and got as far as ore. prior to that it was a policing action . 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.

While you have every right to be annoyed for historical reasons but Saro-Wiwa later realized his mistake for not standing with Biafra. Its said that Ojukwu once visited Niger-Delta and told Saro-Wiwa ''good morning'' in the afternoon. Saro-Wiwa woke up late!.
So, Ojukwu's anger was a retaliation because he didn't get Niger-Delta's support when he needed it most. Why give support to Saro-Wiwa; when Niger-Delta refused to support Biafra? You see, that was the motive.
Having said that, Niger-Delta and especially Ogoni land is still in slavery today and would continue to be because you people have refused to see the big picture. Your elites (Jonathan and co) are very greedy and shortsighted, just like you.
Don't worry, Biafra is not interested in Niger-Delta. As a matter of fact, when Biafra established, the Niger-Delta would be carved out of our map, so you all would continue to be enslaved by the North. Don't forget that. Why support 'Biafra' when Ojukwu and Ironsi crushed Niger Delta republic? Do some of you reason at all or you don't know the history? There is no way Saro-Wiwa would have apologised to Ojukwu, Ojukwu who committed war crimes in Saro-Wiwa's homeland. |
