Philip Effiong is the real civil war hero on the biafran side. He didnt run away, he stood his ground and surrendered because he knew the odds were stacked against the biafrans.

However, ojukwu, the initatior of the war, who once boasted that he would fight till the last drop of his blood, eventually ran away to Abidjan after commandeering a plane that was meant to airlift sick biafran children.

Alhaji Shehu Shagari later granted ojukwu amnesty in 1982. In 1983, ojukwu contested in the Senatorial election, he also contested in the 2003 & 2007 presidential elections and he lost woefully on all occasions.

It is highly preposterous that a man who fought against Nigeria, later came back to Nigeria and participated at various elections in the same country that he fought against.

Do you love to get hit right at the GSpot? Tell me how you love it.

Major General Filip Asukwo Efyong...

Defense minister,
First vice President,
President of the Great Peoples Republic of Biafra.

We,the great people of Igbo and Mmoño lands pay homage to you this day on your posthumous birthday.
I'd also use this day to reaffirm the great synergy btwn Enugwu and Atakpa(calabar) bkos its one thats marked in greatness and the future prosperity of our peoples.

The least you could have done, was to spell his name properly!! Chai!! Show some respect, biko nu!

lol ... Coward talking ... Hitler led many people to death and had a big chance of escaping before they capture Berlin but chose to stay by the people that died instead ... But coward ran away and you are here praising him after he has commanded many to their death ...
Its like praising our soilders that ldesssed like civilians leaving their weapons to abscond to Cameroon ...
Coward is a coward ...

If armed robbers invade your house and you have only one gun with limited bullets. You fire and they fire, but you hold out until the situation becomes hopeless. Do you stay back for certain death to prove you are brave or do you escape? That's the situation Ojukwu was in.



Ojukwu was fighting for the freedom of his people, Hitler was fighting to enslave people.

France was only helping in sending relief and food ( con beef)

Gabon only allowed Biafra use der airport

buh on d Nigerian side: Egyptian air force was in d air!!

chad; Niger. Algeria ..Morocco .. Saudi Arabia .. and Tunisian machineries was on ground



British and ussr ammunitions wer on deck


to cut D's long story shot.... DAT was world war 3!!!

Go find out where Steiner, the mercenery used by Biafra was from.

FYI, war is not like game of football, where the governing body and the referee ensures that both teams have equal players and equal size of goal posts. That you use a cain to fight me doesn't mean I must use the same to fight you. I may use a rod. War is not a game.

Interesting! This is the first time I have heard of a General's cowardice serving as a hope of reincarnation. Do carry on...!

as commander in chief ... bubu should b in d battle field den!!


military tradition must b observed ...
go do some research abt d tradition s

sexaddict08:
The American Time Magazine described the
scene in Kaduna on October 7, 1966: "In the
Northern capital of Kaduna, raging mobs of
Moslems armed with iron bars and broken
bottles surged through the streets shouting
anti-Ibo slogans. They killed at least thirty of
the Ibo aliens from the East. From the airport,
the troops fanned out through downtown
Kano, hunting down Ibos in bars, hotels and
on the streets. One contingent drove their
Land Rovers to the railroad station where
more than 100 Ibos were waiting for a train,
and cut them down with automatic weapon
fire. The soldiers did not have to all the
killing. They were soon joined by thousands of
Hausa civilians, who rampaged through the
city, armed with stones, cutlasses, machetes,
and home-made weapons of metal and broken
glass. Crying Heathen! and Allah! the mobs
and troops invaded the Sabon gari (stranger’s
quarters), ransacking, looting and burning Ibo
homes and stores and murdering their owners.

Yeebos wants to furk up again

Yesss ooo
We're waiting for the genocide version 2.0
Version 1.0 failed to run on our systems

one machinery? I fuckly gave u over 8 countries !!



also hope u know d military casualties on both side was surprising ? ojukwu stated with 6000 soldiers but over 30000 surrendered


Nigeria lost btwn 30000-50000 service men. while Biafra lost btwn 10000- 25000 service men


Nigeria hand over 150000 soldiers yet dey still demanded for machineries... wat a country ...


ogbunigwe ... hope u are not shaking ... by d mention of ogbunigwe d Nigeria army trembles!!!

even d Nigerian army employed cows as advance force to shield dem from d great ogbunigwe....


summing it up ; if d war was just btwn Nigeria and Biafra .. it wouldn't have lasted dat long !!!

EUROBOMBER:


property saga is a discussion for another day but the truth is that only a foolsih General will allow himself to be captured or killed when there is room for escpae.

Ojukwu saw that he could escape to Abidjan and he used it.

Another place Ojukwu bleeped up was entering politics after returning from exile.
All he'd have done was keep a dignified silence and become a godfather

Go and read through the annals of war history. True generals stay the course, fighting alongside their men on the field of battle. Civilian presidents do not carry arms, leading troops into battle. Buhari has retired from the armed forces. If he had not, I would have asked him to also do his own bit by carrying out some of his military duties, and recovering captured territories from the enemy, in Borno.

EUROBOMBER:
I salute General Philip Effiong who was the last president of Biafra. This man stood and faced the armed Nigerian soldiers to hand over the surrender letter. God bless the great General Philip Effiong.

I love the Efik/Ibibio which is why I am celebrating them on my nl profile.

I am not agitating for Biafra or calling for war but if Nigeria breaks tomorrow, the Igbos look forward to having very cordial relationship with our Efik/Ibibio brothere. These guys are the most reliable group of people in the Niger Delta.

God bless the Efik/Ibibio.

@Pazienza, please channel your energy to building an even stronger bond between us and the Efik/Ibibio.

Interesting. While one leader ran to Cote D'viore for safety, the other was busy fighting hard. At the end of the day, little is known about this true war hero.

Ojukwu was a coward. FACT.

He couldn't look his officers in d eye as he LIED to them he was going to get weapons. FACT.

If he hadn't ran away or hadn't bn captured, his henchmen were ready to kill him cos they were disgruntled. Rmmber he killed nzeogwu, ifeajuna & banjo. FACT.


This was all revealed in Philip effiongs book.


Brainwashed cow, u need to read.

have u ever heard of tactical withdrawal in military? u should know wen it s applied ... ojukwu decision was d best option

Biafran remembrance day.

Guy, give it up! 'Tactical withdrawal' kwa..... to achieve just what exactly?? And for how many years?? Go on, let us know how many years Ojukwu spent in exile during his tactical withdrawal and what he achieved in exile, within those years for his people.

Ok, while the war was raging, why didn't Ojukwu allow his own soldiers to carry out 'tactical withdrawals' instead of dying at the war front, as federal forces were closing in on them??

it was his only option - he was NOT ready to die fighting for Biafra like some of his foot soldiers and their commanders that died for Biafra.

kingzizzy:
I recommend that everyone should read Philip Effiongs "Biafra: My story". Philip Effiong was an admirable man. He stood by his boss through thick and thin. It should be noted that had Ojukwu stayed back at the end of the war, he would have been caught and killed for nothing but the Nigerian authorities had no beef with Philip Effiong. It should be noted that Philip Effiong joined the Nigerian Army in Enugu in 1945.


I'm happy that when he died, Biafrans went to Ibinio Obong to give him an unforgettable burial.

Its Ibiono Ibom nt Ibinio Obong

una no go allow all dis dead people to rest in peace?everyday post rumours birthday for dead people mtcheeeeeeew

if he had died den all hope would av been lost ... buh going on exile gave d ppl hope DAT he s still alive and in safe hand !! I believe d Nigeria government made fruitless efforts to eliminate him der

GspotAngela:
So whose fault was it ? Ojukwu couldnt equip his army properly, he couldnt feed his civilians adequately and he was boasting before the commencement of hostilities that he has the largest army in black africa and that the other side(Nigeria) would be shocked as to what they would get from him.

same thing the Nitwit'kanu' is already spreading to the stupid ones' already boasting of assembling bombs to bring down nigeria. Something a warlord couldn't do.mtchew

GspotAngela:
3MCDO suffered minimal casualty before Operation OAU(Owerri, Aba, Umuahia). It was a mission hinged on Adekunle's over bloated ego after the spectular success his division recorded in chasing the biafran occupiers away from the Niger Delta areas. It was not part of the 3MCDO's initial battle plan. Adekunle ordered the Operation as an October 1st 1968 independence gift to General Gowon

Britain and USSR supported Nigeria, so also did France, Portugal, South Africa, Haiti, Zambia, Gabon, Tanzania, Ivory Coast support Biafra

hmmm! So you are now confirming Chinua Achebe's "THERE WAS A COUNTRYA." Some people and tribes were crying and wailing when this book was first released that there wasnt any country. An almost 3 yrs old country that produced two presidents. Ojukwu actually contested the presidency in other to brake what this young generation of biafra calls Zoo. SS vp and pred. Efik/ibibio biafrans?

For you to know how pathetic and cowardly ojukwu was; he was never at the front through out the duration of the war. He was running from one under ground bunker to another.

After enugu the capital of biafra fell, three months into fighting, ojukwu ran to umuahia. After umuahia fell, he ran even deeper into the ibo heartland until he eventually ran way to abidjan
