Contradiction. You said they were not coming because of him but agreed having "50 leaders attend his inauguration" is a "good start". Is Jonathan the one just starting?

What is wrong with all these Yoruba people? Why are they jealous of we the Igbos? Is it by force to stay in the same country with you?

NIGERIA MUST DIVIDE IN JESUS NAME

My Regret by ojukwu We do not know and can hardly guess what would have happened if the Nigerian Armed Forces had not been repelled and were left to carry out their programme of extermination.  But there are lessons to be learnt from the study of that feared catastrophe which was once so close to fulfilment. The Nigerians with their clear-cut pogrom

plans, their unruly juggernaut of an army, would have effaced the Igbos from the face of the earth.  As if in pursuit of that, the army killed indiscriminately.  But it would of course be absurd to expect soldiers to be saints; good killing requires its own unique virtues.  Igbos were virtually defenceless, and to all appearances Biafra was doomed.  It must have seemed to Gowon and Hassan Katsina only a matter of weeks or months for Biafra to be annihilated.  But appearances were deceptive.
What saved Biafra was the courage of its people, the charisma of Ojukwu and. the conviction that their defence was in their own hands.  Before Nigeria would carry out her plans, the world had been alerted on the barbaric intentions of certain elements within the leadership. 

There is no doubt that Ojukwu would have won the war had he fought with Gowon's type of disposition.  Had he agreed to concede some parts of our oil rich territory in return for ammunition.  True to character, he showed enough will power, which could not permit our erstwhile colonial masters to push him about like a pawn on a chessboard.  Though he lost, one would have personally preferred his position to a phoney victory that is pregnant with question marks anytime the question of "Bakassi" and other things come to mind.

Other unsavoury opposition led to the defeat of the revolution, which, despite its shortcomings, still left a powerful impression upon the memory, emotions, aspirations, and the art of the Igbos.  The greatest obstacle to the revolution was neither Ojukwu nor the direction and contents of the revolution, but the antics of Western Nigeria.  It would be recalled that on May 1, 1967, the region's most prominent politician and leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, told a major gathering of Yoruba elite that "If the Eastern region by acts of omission or commission secedes from or opts out of Nigeria, then the Western region and Lagos must also stay out of the Federation.”55  Responding to Awolowo's remark, "The Western Leaders of Thought", the most representative body of Yoruba opinion then in existence, passed a resolution declaring that "If any region seceded, the federation as we know it shall cease to exist," and that "Western Nigeria shall automatically become independent and sovereign.”56

As the crisis raged, Chief Awolowo categorically ruled out the use of coercion, but when later the East was forced out, nobody knew what prevented the West from fulfilling its promise.  Regrettably, Chief Obafemi Awolowo joined the succession of men whom Gowon gravely addressed as his Ministers. In the course of the war, Awolowo had reason to say: "All is fair in war, and starvation is one of the weapons of war.  We should not feed our enemies fat in order to fight us harder.”57 When first I heard these words, I wanted to cry.  The word is BETRAYAL.  The Western leaders compromised their stand with posts in the Federal Cabinet, including the Finance Ministry.

It is also pertinent to point out that when Ojukwu had given a Yoruba, Lt. Colonel Victor Banjo, the command of the liberating Biafran Army, the appointment was in the hope of placating non-Igbos in the Midwest and facilitating a link up with Western Nigeria.  According to Ojukwu, it was to signify an East/West disposition not only for himself, but also for the Biafran people for solidarity in the Nigerian crisis.  This he presently calls "The handshake across the Niger.”  But Lt. Colonel Banjo behaved in a way most unbecoming of a patriotic Biafran officer.  Once in control of Benin, with the chasing away of Lt. Colonel Ejoor, Lt. Colonel Banjo announced that the Midwest would be independent of both Nigeria and Biafra, but first he would liberate Lagos and Western Nigeria from Northern domination.  He was too talkative, too undisciplined, and had delayed fretfully to capture Lagos according to instructions.  If that were done, the face of the war would have automatically changed.

When Ojukwu got wind of Banjo's disloyalty, he by-passed him and sent a direct order to major Akagha, commanding the Point Battalion to push on to the West.  There was still time.  Akagha attacked on 16 August at the Ofosu river bridge, the border with the west.  He broke the defences there and observed that the Nigerian troops were from Gowon's own personal bodyguard, the absolute last reserves.  These men fled after the fight, and Akagha moved on.  The small town of Ore was reached on 20 August and another fight took place.   Again, the Dodan Barracks guards were defeated, losing fifty dead and the rest fleeing into the bush.  The road was open; there was not a fighting man between Ore and Carter Bridge.

The attendant panic caused by Akagha's bravery could not be sustained because, Banjo, fearing his plans truncated, sent a squad to arrest him.  Confused, Akagha left his command and went into hiding.

Ojukwu later contended that his single greatest mistake of the war was not to have rushed personally to Benin with his best battalion, remove Banjo and then head straight for Lagos.  Suddenly when Biafran forces retreated to Onitsha, their Igbo brothers at Asaba and Agbor who could have shown solidarity in what had by then reduced to an Igbo affair, by organizing guerrilla warfare, denied their Igboness.  It was tragic.

Na you go handover to d new president?

Handing over takes place before May 29. What takes place on May 29 is inauguration and taking of oath. Apart from Audu Abubakar (ANPP) to Ibrahim Idris (PDP) in 2003, I've not seen where an outgoing Governor or President is present at the inauguration of the in-coming Governor or President from a different party.

No, they are more concerned about the New crowned leader, Muhammadu Buhari and what he has to offer to Nigeria. If your here was any good, he won't have being the subject of common sense criticisms both home and abroad.
