I am doing a political project on Nigeria. I plan to use some of your postings on this forum ( Example: LegendHero: I’m always amazed at you guys and your claim of braveness. In the history of Nigeria, you are the only group of people that have been massacred in their thousands without retaliation. Tribe of cowards!...….) I am asking for your demographic information so that readers can have an idea of you when they read your posts used in my project. I also plan to conduct a survey for this project so l will appreciate it if you respond when l formally invite you to participate in one or several surveys for this project. A) Age specifically 1) 20 -24 2) 25 - 29 B) And what is your level of education: 1) High (secondary )School 2)Graduate 3)Post-graduate C) Location 1) Diaspora 2) Nigeria-based (From my little exchange with you and reading some of your postings, l believe you are Diaspora LegendHero: |

Uchek: Maybe if you can show the survey you did for numerous monikers that share your ideology, that could look more credible. |

Was he also a wise man in serving in an administration headed by a far junior officer( Gowon)and dominated by the Northerners who denied him his rightful position and hounded him out of Nigeria? What was the honor and integrity in becoming a diplomatic housboy for Gowon in London? paramakina202: |

paramakina202: Ogundipe had good information and was aware that Ojukwu and Ironsi were part of the January Coup Ogundipe was not interested in being used and manipulated by Ojukwu and the January Coupists any further especially after the Crisis had blown up in their faces . The January Coup had resulted in a huge backlash from the aggrieved Northern Soldiers and had further led to the deaths of so many more People just because of some Soldiers who had been over ambitious 3 Likes |

paramakina202: Ogundipe was the most senior officer in the Nigerian military but he knew he was up against superior forces so he abdicated his authority and stowed away on a ship that took him to safety. He ran for dear life leave grammar |

nku5: Isn't it better than being dead and maybe bringing war to his people lose at the end and still go to exile after millions must have died? Who told you the most senior officer in the military must take over power when he weren't part of the coup plot? 3 Likes |

paramakina202: In military since ancient times no soldier deserts his post and runs away. Talkless of the most senior officer in the army. It's all about choice. Stand for the honour of your uniform or run and Ogundipe chose to run |

nku5: The person who stood for his military honour what happened at the end?He later abandon his honour and went to exile. Ogundipe choose the part of honour that avoided war in his homeland and by so doing saved his region from destruction and death that we witnessed in the East. 4 Likes |

MelesZenawi: This is not about being a coward! Ogundipe realised that no junior officers were in his support! When he gave an order to make a safe landing for Ironsi, the officers sent were ambushed. When he tried to send other officers, they declined! So he sensed mutiny. Let me remind you.You can't declare yourself without internal support. Obasanjo was able to declare himself because TY Danjuma and Sheu Musa Yaradua were in his support. They emboldened him. Did you know that Murtala and other junior officers were looking for him before they could ask Yakubu Gowon to take over? They wanted him to hand over peacefully. They never wanted him to assume the position. So when Ogundipe realised that he was not safe again, he left the country in the midnight. Until then Gowon was able to become Head of State. I can recommend this link. You'll see the man that saved Ogundipe's life. Read this interesting account of how Ogundipe was saved! https://www.thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2019/12/27/ironsis-death-my-role-in-brigadier-ogundipes-escape/ |

itsme01:don't mind this one, he just sat down in his room on his mat typing rubbish and lies, he can't even read various history books, biographies of various actors, very funny Ojukwu called Ogundipe... Very funny... Lies upon lies. |

How would he bring war to his people? Can the North fight both the East and West at the same time? Ok he didn't want to bring war to his people but he was willing to bring war to Eastern Region and partake in the massacre of millions of lives. A case of what is good for the goose is not good for the gander. You are absolutely right that he was not part of the coup and that the most senior officer in the military must not necessarily take over power. So why become a spokesperson of the an administration that humiliated you and hounded you out of office? Why didn't he reject Gowon's position of Nigerian High Commissioner to UK by telling Gowon that he was not going to be a part of government that hijacked power and subjugated and oppressed Yoruba military? That singular act would have made him a man of integrity and moral courage. paramakina202: |
