OneNaira6: He declared the war wen he decided to seeded some states which are actually part of Nigeria away . In case u dnt knw Nigeria system will never give rum to secession on easy term . Assuming its United State Of Nigeria instead of Federal Republic Of Nigeria its will b more easy to seed • (which is why u never gt the support of Giant Countries)• . As in, It will be settle on the round table instead of battle field. |

Adekorya: LMFAO. Yet that same leader after being used by a younger Gowon and the Nigerian military, he was rounded up like a common criminal and locked up for treason. You actually just verified that your Awolowo was a bonafide olodo. Ojukwu was smart enough to read the handwriting on the walls and even everything he said about Nigeria's future prior to the war is what is happening as we SPEAK. The man saw the future of this shithole of a nation and choose to pull his people out of it before it was too late while your Awolowo decided to be a coward and like cowards are treated, he was used and dumped without one ounce of fear from the leaders he assisted. Funny thing about it all, it was he, awolowo, that voiced the most out of all Nigeria's founding father how the nation is not "one" ironically, when the chance came, he did a complete 360. Anyway, in actuality, I don't think Ojukwu or any Igbo really cares about Awolowo doing a complete 360. Infact, karma dealt with him after wards and continued dealing with his people after wards so nature did his work thus why bother to care. All he ended up just showing ojukwu and other igbos is to take whatever a yoruba man says lightly. I am grateful awo did want he did. His act single handily opened the eyes of every igbo man, woman and child about you people thus, without him most of us will still be deluding ourselves in Zik's philosophy of "African unity". 1 Like |

Why are some set of people here so full of hatred? They are even twisting facts to suit their sentiment. This Àwo you're hating, has achieved what most of your kinsmen will never be close to achieving. 1 Like |

Adekorya: Oh please Nigeria got the support of the united kingdom, etc due to the resources in that nation. A divided nation will decrease their chances of imposing corrupt individuals to assist them in looting the nation dry. Europe believed a nation that's highly dependable on them is more beneficial to them than those surviving without them. That's the only reason they supported your "one Nigeria", nothing more. Like I said, Ojukwu didn't declare war on Nigeria considering he actually gave Gowon chance to fix the reason he wanted Igbos to pull out. When Gowon didn't do as he requested and Gowon agreed upon, that's when Ojukwu pulled out. He didn't just pull out of the blue without giving Nigerian leaders a chance therefore, the people that declared war was Nigeria. |

OneNaira6:Not true; Ojukwu was over ambitious & his military ability is low, he had a meeting with Awolowo that Yoruba & Igbo's should break out from Nigeria, this was agreed to by Awo & a date was chosen but Ojukwu being greedy declared Biafra & started war against the agreement he had with Awolowo. So Awolowo had no choice but to stay within Nigeria as he was not fully prepared; Ojukwu would have succeeded as the war was a stalemate but he invaded Yoruba land( Ore in Ondo State) that incident made the Yoruba's enlist in Large numbers in the military & the outcome of the war was decided by the Yoruba's. 3 Likes |

SMH, look at the comments from aspiring leaders of tommorow. Later somebody will say the elders have refused to relinquish power to the youths. With the way most youth reasons today even on NL, is there any one capable of even becoming councillor in their ward? No, instead they continue to remain as PAs to the older politicians and continue to supply them with ladies as per PA portfolio. Lazy youths everywhere that thinks being educated is only by acquiring degrees. The artisans on the street will even perform and reason better than most of our "educated" youths busy inciting and promoting hatred on social forum. 4 Likes |

OneNaira6:Don't twist history, Awolowo didn't go to jail after he served as Vice Chairman of the FEC and Federal Commissioner of Finance under Gowon. Gowon became Head of State in 1966 while Awolowo was in jail between 1962 and 1966. 2 Likes |

Rotimi47: You people need to stop trying to twist the war history. Majority of those that fought the war were predominately middle belt. Most of the soldiers that fought in each battle were predominately MIDDLE BELT AND NORTH. Many biafran soldiers are still alive today and they still recall who it was they were fighting the most therefore, all this yoruba revision of the history is ridiculous. The amount of yoruba soldiers in Nigeria's military was highly insignificant, ironically, they were the one that making the highest noise though.. Albeit yes, they exist but to profess they are the ones that won the war is more laughable than something to take seriously. The outcome of the war was determined by Gowon himself and not Yoruba. Anyway, I'm not that shocked. Is this not how, you people professed the Adekunle was the one who got Ojukwu to leave to Ivory coast yet it was reported that adekunle was demoted way before ojukwu actually left the war. Also the Obasanjo have constantly tried to pass off he was the main reason the war ended yet we learned from one of the members in his platoon, Godwin Alabi-Isama, that Obsanjo was literally one of the most clueless military leaders known to men and almost every achievement OBJ accredit him was actually his own achievement but due to OBJ held a senior was he was allowed to take credit of each of his soldiers hard work. Likewise, we equally learned that OBJ lost over 1000 men in just few hours of being promoted. Anyway, Ojukwu did not declare war to Nigeria, nor did it invade Nigeria. Infact, the first people to attack was Nigeria thus the people that began that war was in fact NIGERIA. Ojukwu went to see Awolowo once again before declare the creation of Biafra, your awolowo coward out at the last minute and despite his display of cowardness, neither ojuwku or any of his leaders actually cared whether or not yoruba were joining Biafra. In reality, the only reason they choose to go to ore was because that's where Nigeria military base fighting them was located in Lagos. Nothing more, nothing less. If the base was in Abuja, they would have went to Abuja. If it was in Kaduna, they would have went to Kaduna. |

OneNaira6: The bold part show you don't real know Nigeria political history.... Awo was imprisoned in S.East(wetti political impass in S.West) before the war not after it. Actually Ojukwu was the one who release him from prison in aba or enugu (can't recall which of cities now). Stop being silly and go get a life...otherwise you will soon die upto Yorubaphobia... |

Adekorya: Who in their naturally born mind told you Ojuwku accepted One Nigeria. You do realize the person that helped promote Massob to the point it now has a high significant of members worldwide was Ojukwu HIMSELF. Ojukwu does not and have never cared about your "One Nigeria" mess. He just took an alternative route in trying to save his people from the future hellhole he saw Nigeria was and sadly, everything he said about that country is coming true one by one by one. And spare us Ojukwu didn't lose anything. Ojuwku lost his family property dummy. His father was a billionaire prior to war and when he died, Ojukwu and his family used their father's wealth to single handily pay for Biafra war. Every invention made by Biafran scientist used ojuwku's family member's wealth to do so. He lost majority of his father's inheritance on that war. Likewise, he lost family members during the war and many of his family members tortured due to the fact they had the same last name as him. Similar to all Igbos, ojukwu went to the same struggle; he went from a billionaire to a moderate living man all in his effort to save his people hence he is beloved. That why it's laughable when you guys accuse him of being greedy and trying to steal nigeria's money, the Nigg@ had enough to last him a lifetime, his father made sure of that. |
