A former Minister of Defence and
Chairman of Victim Support Fund,
Theophilus Danjuma, has blamed the leader of the defunct Biafra, the late Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, for the civil war, which resulted in the death of nearly a million Nigerians.
Danjuma said this on Wednesday
after President Goodluck Jonathan
paid him a private visit in his Asokoro, Abuja residence.
He argued that had the late Ojukwu
conceded victory to the federal troops after the fall of Enugu during the civil war in the same manner President
Jonathan accepted defeat after the
March 28 presidential poll to Maj. Gen.Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) of the All Progressives Congress, the nation
would have been saved “a full year of bloodshed.”
Jonathan visited Danjuma, who is the Chairman of the Victims Support
Fund, in company with some of his
aides. The two leaders however met behind closed doors and they did not make
the purpose of the parley public.
Danjuma however told journalists at
the end of the meeting that the
President, by conceding defeat in the March 28 presidential election to
Buhari, had set a record.
He said Africa and the world should
emulate Jonathan.
He observed that if the late Ojukwu
had done the same thing after the fall of Enugu, he would have saved the
nation of bloodshed.
He said, “The outcome of the election and the manner in which President
Jonathan conceded victory to Buhari, is totally un-African, it is very
important in the history of Africa.
“If Ojukwu did the same after the fall
of Enugu, if he had conceded victory
to the federal troops, he would have
saved the nation one full year of
bloodshed. “President Jonathan has set a history, a record as something to be emulated
by the rest of Africa and indeed the
whole world. It’s an excellent thing he
did.” Jonathan simply thanked Danjuma for
his fatherly support during the
election.
It will be recalled that the former
minister had on March 11 visited
Jonathan at the Presidential Villa
during which they met behind closed doors inside Jonathan’s official
residence.
Danjuma had after the first meeting
warned reporters not to speculate the purpose of the visit.
He said having just returned to the
country from a foreign trip, he
needed to see Jonathan and find out developments in the country.
“Don’t speculate. I came to visit the
President and find out how things are going. I have been abroad. I just
came back,” he had said.
When asked whether he was ready to support Jonathan’s re-election,
Danjuma had said he could not
canvass votes for anybody because he does not belong to any political party.
“I don’t canvass (for votes). I am not
in any of the political parties. The
President is Nigeria’s President,” he
simply said.
Danjuma in January drew the ire of
some ex-Niger Delta militants, includ­
ing Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo and
Government Ekpemudo (a.k.a
Tompolo), when he called for their
arrests for threatening war if Jonathan loses the presidential election.
Apart from declaring the former
minister persona non grata in the
region where Jonathan hails from, the ex-militants also demanded an apology from Danjuma within seven days or face their wrath.
The repentant militant leaders said in a statement issued in Port Harcourt, that Danjuma was among northerners
who had become very comfortable in life because of the oil money from
Niger Delta.

Assuming there was no civil war, who knows d ibos might have colonised lagos with population by now. D civil war helped reduced the population.. So the yorubas should show some gratitude to ojukwu for sparking the civil war.. My 2 kobo!

What is Ijukwu's business with this. Surrender to you after you and your likes committed progrom against his tribesmen. Pls sharrrappp.

Surrender a soldier with gun in hand?
Don't you know the different?
Oka,it takes two to tangle,why didn't you surrender since he didn't?
Pls pls pls!...allow sleeping dog a chance!

**grins** Why has Danjuma refused to explain the death of Aguiyi Ironsi in his hands. Aguiyi made danjuma his security detail,how did he pay Ironsi back- Theophilus Danjuma and other Hausa soldier, beat him up, tied him to a military vehicle and dragged him on the streets of Ibadan till he died. Nice one Danjuma.
Remember the vultures Mrs Ironsi promised your dead body?. They are still waiting.

Take a cue from the recent failed coup in an African country

The perpetrators were brought to swift justice assets frozen and trial

When Nzeogwu Kaduna failed at the coup there was nothing wrong with the temporary government bringing the plotters to justice

It was proven that those killed in the failed coup were northerners and Yorubas all easterners spared , That there is the problem, the reason for reprisals from North


My point being some decisions we make can be costly

GEJ!!! Getting loved day by day



Thank God I voted GEJ

But what cause the war in the first place

front page in your dreams

but anyway he said the truth though. See as biafry is been scattered left and right, and sadly some jobless youths are masturbating about Biafra on social media.

This is the same Danjuma who murdered Ironsi and Fajuyi in cold blood. It is Danjuma and his fellow northerners that destroyed Nigeria.


The mentality of people like Danjuma is astonishing. So after killing over 50,000 all over the North, what people like Danjuma expected was for Ojukwu to throw them a party in Enugu and submit to Northern domination. Yorubas might do that but not us Igbos. We proudly fought for our freedom, we may have lost, but we live to fight another day. I'm proud of Ojukwu for not being intimidated by the Northern oligarchy and for standing up to them and fighting.


General Danjuma is a disgrace to himself and the uniform he wore. He remains the embodiment of the evil known as military rule. He wore the uniform to kill, opress and loot. Today he is a billionaire from oil money, the real reason him and his fellow northerners fought to keep Nigeria one.

Danjuma killed Ironsi and Fajuyi, will he ever be arrested and prosecuted for murder? Of course not, after all it is Nigeria
