All these Adekunle's talk any time Ojukwu is brought up; Adekunle was never at the same level as Ojukwu. You should compare Adekunle with Ojukwu's commanders, like Achuzia. As for Adekunle's performance, he began his operation OAU (Owerri, Aba, Umuahia) with 35,000 soldiers. A short time into the operation, 23,000 of the soldiers had been killed by the Biafrans. From that point onwards, Adenkunle behaved erratically, for which reason he was replaced with Obasanjo. He later attributed his erratic behavior to war fatigue. The total number of Baifran soldiers that faced Adekunle was not up to 5,000 and they were very poorly armed compared to Adekunle's soldiers; yet, they so killed Adekunle's soldiers that Adekunle became became deranged. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_OAU |

raumdeuter:some people think and continue to say it was cowardly of Ojukwu to have escaped after the war. Look at it this way. You are the LEADER during a war. A war that was embarked on in the first place because the government of the day did not pay attention to the genocide of a group of people happening in the northern part of the country. The war is over. You as the Leader know that the government would not touch any of your people, BUT you as the Leader would not go scot free- especially one who had held them off and given as much as he got in physical battle for good 3 years. In a country like ours, it would not have come as a surprise if we heard he had been killed in prison or tortured without any avenue for dialogue. When you know these, would you stay on ground and wait for it OR would you go to another country till things have calmed down? He stayed in another country and came back after rife tempers had calmed down(anger is short madness, one can blindly act in moments of anger without rational thinking) and everyone had seen where they contributed to provoking a war. War is NEVER a good thing, and may Nigeria NEVER experience that again. We MUST never pay deaf ears when people are oppressed. How can the leader of a country be told, "My people are the targets of genocide in the North" and you act like nothing is happening? Over and over you were asked to do something, but your response was slow and you preferred to take all the time in the world while people were dying every second? Which people would see that and not snap/react? ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS GOVERNMENT ACTS LIKE IT CAN'T PROTECT THEM? You would only invite people to defend themselves, and sadly that's what played out. It was good he went away. If anything had happened to him, it might have been another story- especially when he might not have been granted dialogue. Normally it should have been, "Nigerians are being killed in the north". But we all know this is a country with 3 major ethnic groups. Yes, we should all see ourselves as Nigerians, but what do you say when a major ethnic group decides to kill another major ethnic group without any form of provocation? And even if you were provoked, as a sane individual who is not mentally unstable, shouldn't your grievances have been brought to the table first? Why attack people just because you feel like it? Are we HUMAN/ANIMALS? The Northern part of the country should respect the Igbos. A people capable of tolerance do not mean they are foolish. EVERY ETHNIC GROUP MUST RESPECT THE OTHER, and THAT INCLUDES ETHNIC BIGOTRY. NIGERIANS PLEASE DO AWAY WITH BIGOTRY. IT IS NOT GOOD. IT REDUCES US AS HUMANS. WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS FIRST, CREATED BY GOD. We must treat one another as one. NO HATE MONGER WILL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN, be you a Christian or muslim. You can't hate your neighbour and the next second you are praising God and acting holy. You only deceive your own self, not God. 3 Likes 1 Share |

stinggy: Did I write or sound like I give a flying fvck about what or whose account you choose to believe? My uncle was an officer who fought under him, was shot when his general went AWOL and he was unable to fight to defend himself despite being armed for lack of an affirmative directive from his superiors, was dragged bleeding and semi-concious through miles of jungle by his retreating subordinates and woke up in a military hospital and you expect me to take some books account over his word of mouth abi? Believe what you must, I don't care..........black scorpion indeed And besides, what reason would my uncle have to be biased? Survivors guilt? Please |
