Another Big Mistake Ojukwu and Kanu Made That Igbos Must Learn from In Their Agitation for Biafra and in Nigerian Politics

Like I said earlier, Igbos must desist from being too emotional towards political issues.


Stop allowing yourselves to be used by enemies of Igbos who pretend to be lovers.


Ojukwu made this mistake towards the start of the civil war by trusting people like Awolowo to lead the Yorubas to secede from Nigeria as soon as Biafra secedes. Ojukwu shouldn't have ever relied on such flimsy unwritten agreement or reasoning at all.


Nnamdi Kanu made same mistake of trusting Igbo haters who pretended to be lovers. Who and who are they you may ask?

Femi Fanny Kayode
Asari Dokubo


Nnamdi Kanu made the mistake of letting these Igbo haters/traitors into his life. I am sure they played roles in his eventual arrest.


As an Igbo man in Nigeria, you must understand that you are like the Jews in MiddleEast who are hated by all and it's mostly because Igbos rejected Islam. This is the root cause of Igbo hatred championed by Usman Dan Fodio and his grandson Ahmadu Bello which spread gradually to Southwest over time.


As an Igbo man, don't let people into your life so easily because they will always turn against you when they get enough insider information about you.


Reno Omockery did this.

Doyin Okupe did it.

Femi Fani Kayode did it.

Asari Dokubo did it to Nnamdi Kanu.


As an Igbo man in Nigeria, don't start following or supporting any none Southeast Igbo person just because he or she started showing support or fake love for Igbos, always bear it in mind that with time that fake lover of Igbos will reveal his or her true identity with time. You can overlook the person or show support with caution, but don't foolishly believe the person love Igbos or you, just be very cautious of their love because it will definitely expire in no distant time. Always know that Igbo man is fighting his battle alone in Nigeria and let this be your trademark.


Igbos must learn to study Israel and how they operate to survive in Nigeria.


Above all, it is time for Igbos to start seeking for alliance with the Eastern world power through Russia and their lobbyists.


This is the only way out.


Stop the guerrilla warfare in Southeast, it will only lead to destruction of Southeast to the satisfaction of Igbo haters.



Igbos must pass this message to that useless boy in Finland that calls himself Simon Ekpa.

Ibo lamentation. Wailing and gnashing of teeth. Sobbing and groaning in pain.....
Don't worry,the anarchy and insurrection you are promoting will soon touch you.....continue promoting rebellion and Biafra supremacist agenda on a Nigerian forum.....does that make sense to you?
You wail about Biafra from morning till nightfall yet you refuse to launch the process to exit from Nigeria you spend all day lambasting while at the same time shouting Peter Obi for President of Nigeria.....does that make any sense??

According to my late uncle who happened to be a very close friend and ally of Ojukwu, Igbos weren't prepared for the war, but because of Igbo people's fearlessness and believe in the fact that their "Chi" would fight for them if they were fighting for a just cause, that Igbos didn't find it hard to support Ojukwu to declare Biafra when Ojukwu sought for the consent of Old Eastern Nigerians.


He told us that Akwa Ibom people are one of the best friends of the Igbos among the minority tribes in the Old Eastern Nigeria.


I remember the day one of our elders asked him why Igbos failed despite being able to push Nigerian soldiers far away from Biafra region at the start of the war?


He said Igbos must learn to trust outsiders less. He said one negative side of Igbos is that we easily love and trust outsiders once they show any sign of support to Igbos, that this is one of Igbo people's negative side. That this exposes Igbos to making wrong friends without proper scrutiny who usually use the insider information they got from being close to Igbos to hurt Igbos at the end.


He said Ojukwu made two grievous mistakes that made Biafra lost the war.


He said one was Ojukwu's rejection of USSR's (today's Russia) formal request to assist Biafra secure their freedom completely from Nigeria in exchange for Biafra to officially become USSR's African ally. He said Ojukwu rejected this offer which he sat with Ojukwu when Ojukwu replied them in the negative. He said some of them that were very close to Ojukwu weren't happy when Ojukwu rejected USSR's offer and they tried to convince him but Ojukwu vehemently refused to listen to them on the grounds that USSR was not a democratic free nation Biafra must associate with. He said instead Ojukwu bragged that Biafra had all it takes to defeat Nigeria and become Africa's superpower like USSR. That aligning with USSR will usurper Biafra's great future. My late uncle said he and many others were so angry but you dared not show that to Ojukwu else, he might eliminate you and tag you a traitor.



This was the number one reason Biafra lost the war to Nigeria.


I will talk about the lessons Igbos must learn towards the end of this write up.

Good morning brothers and sisters from the Eastern Nigeria.


My message is mainly for the Igbos and to those who are agitating for Biafra now or may want to do so in future.


Before I move to the main points, let me make this known to all; failure is common to every successful person, most times the number of times you fail determines how huge your success will be, but you must learn from your past failures and make corrections where necessary in order for you to win tomorrow.


It is no secret that Biafra lost the war to Nigeria in 1970 even though Gowon the then Head of state of Nigeria cunningly declared the war a no victor no vanquish. Nigeria won Biafra, let's not argue that, but what we should focus on is why did Biafra lost the war despite the fact that they were fighting a just war to defend themselves from unwarranted oppression and persecution by people they called countrymen?


As someone that comes from a family that played major role in the Nigerian politics from 1950 to 1970, even though I wasn't born when the war was fought, but I can confidently tell the full story about the war; from what led to the coup, who participated in the coup and what led to the outbreak of the civil war and finally why Biafra lost the war.

For the records, my father fought in the war even though he wasn't a trained soldier, he was only a young civil servant who got conscripted into the Biafran military to fight at the war front with little training. But my uncles who were trained Nigerian soldiers, who attended the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst and one being a strong ally of Ojukwu and another an ally of Kaduna Nzeogwu, I can say I have the full history in my palms because they told us every truth about the coup, their mistakes, their initial plan and why Biafra lost the war.


Meanwhile, I am not here to talk about the January 1966 coup and the counter coup that led to Northern pogrom, etc, maybe I will find time to talk about that some other time, but in this very write up, I want to talk about why Biafra lost the war to Nigeria, as a way of teaching other Igbos/Biafrans some lessons that we Igbos must learn in order to triumph in this Nigerian contraption we found ourselves in, if not, our journey will be very long.


I will continue in my next post, follow me.



Dear Igbos, you can also read why Biafra lost the war by another Igbo personality who witnessed the war firsthand by going here https://ariseafrika.com/2023/10/geopolitical-wisdom-for-serious-reflection-o-ji-ofo-gala-ma-ya-mara-uzo-by-prof-chidi-osuagwu.html

Lack of adequate preparation,lack of weapons and international support is just few reasons that led to defeat of Biafra.We should get over it andmove on.The current agitation for Biafra led by charlantans like (MNK&Ekpa) is the worst thing to happen to the legacy of Biafra and Igbo nation.
