Why you dey run?

Well, I'm not surprised. You are just like your hero, Ojukwu who fled in the dead of the Night, dressed like Ngozi, the Prostitute after leading millions of your Fathers and Mothers to untimely deaths!

Aigbofa:


What do you call a guy who would rather take weapons than foods to feed the people he supposedly loved.

OneNaira6:


Even the "rebel" got a better burial than the man wet Yoruba don tell us na Nigerian "hero" I don die. Where's even the chief of army self? Even Gowon didn't go. At least him not going to ojukwu's own is understandable but wet in be his excuse for missing his most "prized warrior" according to Yoruba's. Hahahahahahaha. Not even one northern leader sef grazed this man's burial. At least Igbo leaders not going is understandable but wet in happen with the north leaders. Hmmmm even his own people leaders no dey. I don die laughing.

Oya the entire world make una come see "hero" burial
I said it before and I'll say it again..adekunle or is it odekunle is the biggest much known on the planet. Used and dumped like a piece of tissue. An over sagged ashawo kitten.

Anyway, thank Una for the picture. I needed the laughter

Omololu007:
gowon was represented,what excuse did gowon gave for not attendin ojuiku burial?

waternogetenemy:


I did not see Federal presence from the Nigerian side. I did not see Gowon. I did not see OBJ. I did not see IBB. I did not see Danjuma. I did not see the Nigeria he was important or a hero for as u put it.

tmanuelle:


I wasn't surprised when Shuwa, who fought gallantly in the 1st Division during the war was murdered in cold blood by the insurgents and the Nigerian Army didn't bring the Boko Haram insurgency to a halt within three days as a sign of respect to the late Army General...Nigeria the land of 'possibilities'
.

Remarkable:
before you want to talk of Ojukwu fleeing....

talk of Ogundepe fleeing Nigeria....

of Obasanjo fleeing with a bullet in his bum-cheek, causing it to t we rk....

of Ode-kunli fleeing and arriving PH half-naked like a jigalo or should I say mad man with one leg of shoe on.

OrlandoOwoh:

. . . and Ojukwu will be remembered by posterity as the only "general" that abandoned his army and fled for 12 years.

Ishilove:

I'm on a diet

Remarkable:
you have resorted to lieing ba?

it is impossible....

impossible....

for an Igbo man to engage in anything that resembles cowardice....

before a Yoruba man does same.

I said before a Yoruba man does or engages in full-hearty cowardice.

Did Gen. Ogundepe flee Nigeria?

Why say Ojukwu is the only one, since we can both agree that he might have learnt the art of fleeing from his superior?

see why Yoruba men should not be admitted in the army?

Remember when the US were recruiting internationals for the US army?

In Nigeria, which ethnic group was left out?

Don't you think they know you guys too?

That when it is time to fight, they know those that will stand to be counted (as men)?

tmanuelle:


Don't go there

I am trying as much as possible to be diplomatic here, but I won't let this misplacement of the meaning of "fled" pass.

Brigadier Ogundipe went underground in the event of mutiny (courtesy: Mohammed, Danjuma)...called back to represent the Nigeria in the UK until his death in 1971.

Have you heard of "live to fight another day"? Obasanjo got a bullet wound, but fought till the war ended.

Adekunle fought, then "lived to fight another day"

Losing a battle is not the same as losing the war, they don't mean the same thing. Ojukwu left the country, because he couldn't finish what he started, could not risk being captured neither can he do the needful, like Hitler did, he could only come back after the state pardon...He lost the war.

I am taking time to understand the point you are tyring to make, help me explain this part of what you wrote, as bolded above....

Adekunli fought to live and fight another day...

Lucasbalo:
The funny thing is that a lot if people critisising the General won't even be noticed when they go to the great beyond by their neighbors talk less of the whole country. The civil war is being over 40 years ago. Let the sleeping dog rest. Enough of this tribal nonsense .

django1:


A lot of civil war soldiers die everyday, not many get giving state burials like Adekunle and Ojukwu. Adekunle does not have the political relevance that ojukwu had but I am very sure that when someone with as much political relevance die you will see the politicians there.

Ibos follow ojukwu so its natural to see politicians fussing over his dead body to buy the backing of his followers.

You guys are selling yourselves cheap to compare Ojukwu with this man.

OneNaira6:
See yoruba trying to console themselves the reason why the man they told us is a "Nigerian hero" was given a burial even a church rat would be ashamed of.

They told us not to compare ojukwu burial to odekunle burial..why shouldn't we? We compare Ling it for a reason. It shows how much the odekunle bis regarded in reality unlike what yoruba tried to pass off in the media. One was a rebel, supposedly hated by the entire Nigerian populace while the other is regarded as the best Nigerian fighter and a national hero, loved by all at least that's what yoruba tried to tell us. Yet when the two died, you would except the one they tried to pass of as a hero be bestowed with nothing but admiration by everyone yet nothing came. You'll except the same "hero" to instantly get one of the most expensive, over the top burial with every ethnicity beside igbo, every politicians beside igbo present yet once again, the burial given to him is equivalent to the burial given to all military officers that died. Nothing special, nothing extravagant, nothing memorable, not even a news media covered the burial. Infact, the so called "rebel that is hated nationwide" according to yorubas got more of a hero burial than the "national hero that is loved by all" according to yorubas. It makes a person think.

Next thing they told us is the reason such happened is because ojukwu was a politician and admired by his people thus the politicians came to please igbo. I Don die laughing. So thanks to burial, the yorubas now all of a sudden disregard the man they disturbed us for years as one of their loved, high held, son as a nobody. That is just hilarious. Anyway, let's move on. If we decided to remove the Nigerian politicians that grazed ojukwu ' burial. What reason would the emirs leave their palace to attend the burial? They even got their people to do a dance in the burial. Are they also looking for a political backing? Last I checked emir is not a politicial title and neither is ojukwu an obi, Eze or an igwe. In otherwords, does not fall into yoruba save facing tactics. Next stop is the foreign leaders, once again are they Nigerian politicians looking for support? how strong is igbo votes in their nations? The answer is none. Once again, for what reason would they leave their cozy life in their country, travel all the way to Nigeria just to attend a "hated rebels " burial yet they couldn't do the same for the "loved hero" burial. I wonder if the excuses yoruba are making are they even using their brains when conducting their excuses.

Anyway moving on. For every "hero or national hero" of all nation gets at least some form of international recognition yet ironically the "rebel" got more international coverage than the "national hero". hilarious. Even the nation's media didn't even deemed it worthwhile to cover the "national hero" burial.

From all this is safe to conclude the so called "national hero" title yoruba bestowed on odekunle is just their usual self claimed titles with no backing just another of their delusional, dream, titles such as the most sophisticated, most educated, most developed, etc. By the looks of it, the Nigerian populace regard odekunle as an unimportant church rat. A nobody. just another military man that died. By the looks of it odekunle is only a hero to yorubas and yoruba alone.

Hilarious enough, even their own politicians didn't deem it worthwhile to attend his burial. At least the igbo and other non yoruba do not have to attend the burial since they have no affiliation to him, ironically with all the constant disturbance of odekunle is a hero, he's a respected man, he ended Nigerian war, blah blah by his people, you would think his own leaders would at least attend yet nada. Even fashola that attended had his face all crunched up like he doesn't want to be there. Looking at the corpse of the man like he's looking at a monkey, gorilla and pig mixture. More hilarious about the picture is that the face fashola made is the same face his people use to attack, ridicule and insult GEJ whenever he is pictured with fashola and the man has his face all crunched up like that. I wonder what they'll say now?

modhream:

No,no one is selling anyone short here.U guys claimed a criminal n murderer as ur hero n role model,now ur faces are being rubbed in it.U laid this bed,enjoy its comfort.
Btw,Ojukwu was given a state burial,boots reversed n a 21-gun salute as befits a former head of state,by the same country he supposedly rebelled against.Ur Adekunle was buried as a middling officer,albeit a dismissed one,learn the difference.I did not see any boot on Adekunle's coffin,reversed or otherwise,neither was he paid any much respect by the military establishment.The CDS wasn't there,neither was the CNS.Heck,his former C-in-C kept his distance,tho he was in town.
So much for Nigeria's "military hero".

kITATITA:


it's not tribal unless you chose to see it that way. It's a study about those who try to please their masters by all means necessary. Adekunle, bragged about his powers during the war; including powers to shoot at women and children. Meanwhile Gowon, Danjuma and Obasanjo maintained gentlemanly postures and are celebrated till date; distancing themselves from Adekunle, their war tool. Even in death they don't want to associate with him. There's no greater disapproval of his method than what befell Adekunle at death.
