Then Effiong must be a liar cos he said Ojukwu fled. Or fleeing isnt chickening out, Maybe he [b]turkey[/b]ed out

High_Chief:

And can you tell me if the number wouldnt have passed the 3million that died if they were unchallanged. Listen and get it right, the killings in the North is still happening today simply because the perpertrators since 1966 has been going free and it will continue that way. Now tell me, where you expecting Ojukwu to fold his hands and watch your Northern masters slaughter Ndigbo at will? Ojukwu tried every possible means to resolve the issue amicably before he opted for the last resort. The pogrom was tagged "Extinction of Ndigbo" and you expect Ndigbo to just sit and watch. Its a shame that people like you instead of condemnin the evil meted out to Igbos is accusing Ojukwu for protecting his people. I have said it time and again, it is only Moses in the Bible that had shown his people the kind of love that Ojukwu showed to Ndigbo.


I cant respond to your post, cos apparantly you are not making any sense. Grab some books mate

Ojiofor:

Una no dey shame one bit?your so called leader was jailed u couldn't do poo until our brave boys acted and got him out of that poo hole.Abiola died in jail u did nothing OBJ would still have died in jail if his AWUSA masters didn't pull him out of that Abacha pit, na only to make noise for internet una sabi, they are killing ur folks in the north all u guys could do is to pretend as usaul, ah is Igbo problem,

Ikemba fought for 3yrs the feds could not capture nor kill him in battle until he left with most of his cabinet members including Gen Effiong family and was received by the president of Ivory Coast at arrival,

If I may ask ndi ofenmamu,how long did it take US army to capture Saddam and how long did it take Libya rebels to take out Ghadafi?

Una have Awusa to thank sha!

T8ksy:

Turkeyed ke? abi na turncoat?

But wait o, i remembered "Prof" Dede amidst his usual big grammars, suggested that Ojukwu was in fact, going to procure more arms to prosecute war with and therefore was VERY PI.SSED off when he heard later that Effiong had surrendered his biafran troops. Consequently, he had no choice but to stay behind in abidjan!!!

Now who is a revisionist per excellence?


Of course, it won't make any sense to you as you have no "fact" to counter my statement. All you have to do is find out if it was true that Ojukwu sent his people back to the north on receiving Gowon's assurance that they will be protected. This was in the latter part of July '67. Of course, ibos went back and were duly slaughtered again. their last exodus from the north was in oct. '67.

@ bolded,

Geez! That's sickening man! Did moses "turkeyed" away in the middle of the night and abandoned the isrealites to their fate? Its very insulting to other xtians to hear you refer to moses and ojukwu in the same breadth. They are obvious opposites even in the context of how each of them manifested their love for their people.

Thank our myriad dieties that Awo did not expressed his love for the yorubas in like manner. He was there with us till the end and in between was jailed (10years) by his[b] haters [/b] on false charges.
Now that's a true leader. Not the one that led his people to war, ill-equipped and after wasting millions of them, fled to save his own neck.

aribisala0:

Well Awo was not a soldier so I would imagine and certainly hope that Ojukwu was a braver man as far as military issues are concerned.


I do not know that Awo was the first . I know that many did before Ojukwu for the simple reason that they were  older than him


There were many others particularly from ethnic minorities who expressed their own concerns. Ahmadu Bello expressed his own views and it is well documented how these issues posed challenges for securing independence.

Nigerians have known for a very long time that we have problems. People differ on how to resolve them. I think you misunderstand the sentence in which I used the term "SNC"

I am talking about highlighting the issues not the call for SNC

Eziachi:

Those like you who chose to live and die of the lies they had been told should continue. Do read the minutes of the Aburi I had just re-published as I did few years ago and judge your present from the past.

^^^You know the world is coming to an end when people refer to an ex-con who took his own life as their hero. Twaaaaaa

Another lame citation.

Pa Awo of blessed memory was a COWARD! He didnt understand the true call of a leader. He was licking A.S.S here and there.

In his tribute, the chief host, Chief Sunny Odogwu, recalled that his relationship with the late Ojukwu started when “we were both under nine years of age and continued without interruption until our creator temporarily parted us.”

Odogwu said the family had their first transport business in Lagos at the first house built on Oshodi Street, which was at the time occupied by the Takpa people from Niger State.
