Ojukwu was suppose to apologize to Nigeria, the tribal segregation today in nigeria he was one of those that champion it, what was his mean aim for the war, which no one today is claiming responsible.
we must not celebrate evil.

You must be a fool for starting such a disgusting thread.

let the igbo mourn their dead.it is not your business to tell weather to immortalize him or not.a word a enough for the wise.let the sleeping dog sleep even more than enough,don't forget you will die someday


There's no point opening this thread

Re: There Is No Point To Immortalize Ojukwu by Walala(m): 5:07pm On Nov 30, 2011
I have respect for the dead but I think it is a legitimate question to ask what are we really celebrating about him? From what I researched, he allowed his own people to perish from hunger and starvation all in the name of succession.  He never preached unity at any point that I could remember.

I respect any man that stands up for himself and his people but can someone please point me to an article or documentary that shows why we need to celebrate him. Thanks.

No bias or hate here, I just love Nigerian History and especially anything that can explain why we are so separated in our country.
Re: There Is No Point To Immortalize Ojukwu by Wallie(m): 5:08pm On Nov 30, 2011
He was a leader that fought vehemently for the people he represented unlike today's leaders who fight for their own selfish reasons.

Regardless of which side of his heroism debate you stand, you cannot deny the fact that he represented the Igbos to strive for what he believed, whether rightly or wrongly, was injustice towards his people. For that, the Igbos and other people that share his views will be forever grateful to him.

Benjamin Adekunle already named a goat after him

"Okay," he beamed, "the Germans just know how war works. Tonight there is a front-party in my headquarters. You will come! An order is an order!"

This interview with the most important man in the Nigerian war took place at night. Whisky and beer were abundant, uniformed go-go girls played DJ, Adekunle danced and petted his mascot, a small mountain goat named "Ojukwu".

Have u ever asked your father or yourself the main issue that caused the Nigerian Civil War or do u think that the Great Ojukwu:just woke up one wonderful morning in 1967and started fighting Nigeria.
Re: There Is No Point To Immortalize Ojukwu by Joshcoli(m): 5:25pm On Nov 30, 2011
I will respect Ojukwu for one thing
He fought for the freedom of his people
He spent his own money (well his fathers money) to sponsor the war,
The foolish thing he did was to enter a war with Nigerian Army without a guns

He will surely be remember as a HERO

Re: There Is No Point To Immortalize Ojukwu by xrazzy(m): 5:38pm On Nov 30, 2011
if ojukwu is a hero, then the likes of Slobodan Milosevic and  Adolf Hitler are also heros. From the angle of absolute moralism, no war can be justified, not even a war waged to secede from enslavement.  I will suggest a posthumous nuremberg type of war trial for him because he started a war he knew he couldn't win and put every chukwuemekas, nnekas, ogechis, and nwanfors thru 3 years of hardship and  32 years of national political alienation.

Having read the text of the OP,I can safely conclude that he is both semi-illiterate and uninformed,so I'll pardon him
Re: There Is No Point To Immortalize Ojukwu by jascon1(m): 5:40pm On Nov 30, 2011
poster, i believe you should ask your grandfather the history of Nigeria. sorry, i didnt say your father cos he may have been born around 1972. it's so obvious that you have read the ethiopian version of Nigerian history.
Ojukwu was enraged over the killing of the igbos in the north. there have been BOKO HARAM ever since. if i should use that new term as u may not understand historic rendition. the igbos had fled kano and the emir himself came to visit Ojukwu to ask the igbos to return to Kano that there would be peace. with due assurance from the words of the emir, he encouraged his people to return. yet again, there was another massacre. so, it felt like Ojukwu betrayed his own people. meanwhile, during these attacks, the government posed deaf ears. u see the rage??
i strongly believe ojukwu should be immortalized for his bravery and unselfish spirited course. igbo kwenu! lets have an ojukwu day
Re: There Is No Point To Immortalize Ojukwu by Yinkay: 5:45pm On Nov 30, 2011
He shoud be immortalised so that we can learn from past mistakes that led to the war and forge a truly united 9ja.Google Rober E. Lee to know how Americans recovered from their civil war.

angryAfricans will always be Africans. I stands to be corrected but i have not seen a war waged without the leader's selfish interest. i have also not seen a good war.the major difference between Hitler and ojukwu was the scale of the war. whereas Nigerians calls one hero and the other devil incarnate. Africans are always ready to protect their  own irrespective of their criminal activities and tendencies.when ojukwu was in a  mood to wage a war, He should have asked a little boy this questions! is it on a just and re sonable course? must pple die because of his Ego? is the timing right? cos i wondered why he never stayed and let himself be captured if he had really loved biafra.  angryall this commonsensical thought was not in place for a would be war lord. Shit! shallow mind he rushed to fight with little resouses . Everything was ill conceived and the consequence was to get a close attention from Nigerian Army. peeps, that was suicidal.and should be punished! Nigerians are too soft(follow follow too much)!. imagine papa ran  leaving his children to face the consequence of his actions and inaction. why must we celebrate such a person of cowardice behavior. what is the difference between him and our thieving politicians that put the cart before the horse! As a Nigerian and irrespective of where i come from, i will always support a revolution that will unified the country not one that  will had it break up.Period! angry

I have noticed the high rate of tribalism going on in NL mostly among the moderators and this has affected my contribution in the forum. I thought this forum was meant to discuss development both for our country Nigeria and to individual but i see tribal war.

Threads like this NEVER die at first page. They live till you can print a book from them. That the mods enjoys these tribal wars is common knowledge. Just goes to show Nigeria's problem is not education but miseducation. If people who actually use these forums are educated, then you're left to imagine how those who have never seen a keyboard would behave.

Tribalism RULES on nairaland. Get used to it.
