Ojukwu Warned Us Not To Fight Another Biafra War - Ikokwu by boman2014: 8:52am On Mar 25, 2016 |
Chief Guy Ikokwu who fought alongside Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu during the Biafra civil war has urged Igbos clamouring for an independent Biafra state to desist from it and heed to the warning of Ojukwu who warned that another Biafra war must never be fought. In an interview with Vanguard, Ikokwu who was a second republic politician and Anambra State Chairman of the defunct Nigeria Peoples Party however urged the federal government to realize the agitation was a wake-up call to restructure the country. He said: ‘’Generally speaking and in line with what Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, who was the first leader of Biafra said, our people should not go for a second civil war. It is in public domain. It is on Youtube and video. Anybody can play it and listen to what he said. “Saying that, he said history should be a lesson not only for Nigeria but also for Igbo people and that the grave implications of a civil war are such that the initiators do not normally know where it would end and who and who would suffer. “In the first civil war, the majority of those who suffered were the innocent people. More than a million people died and they were not the ones who started the war or were fighting the war. “He said a second civil is not in the best interest of Nigeria, that Nigeria should learn its own lesson and understand that the Igbo always add value to anywhere they go. To any situation they are called upon, they add value. They never go anywhere to deteriorate the existing situation. “Not only that they are so flexible that they can change their culture – language and dressing that they and the natives will almost look alike; that the main thing Nigeria should do is to restructure the country into fiscal federalism as our founding fathers – Herbert Macauley, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello, Dennis Osadebey, MI Okpara , etc, who agitated and got. They fought for a federal structure and this is embedded in our national anthem – in diversity we stand, there is unity in diversity. ‘’That is where the Igbo stand. There should be unity in diversity. We should use the diverse abilities of each group. The Yoruba have where they excel. The Urhobo, Hausa, Fulani, Tiv, Nupe, Kanuri, etc, each have where they excel. Use all these diversifications to promote a united front so that on the whole, the whole nation will rise up and be better for it. “That is where we stand. There should be justice, equity and fair-play. Once these three things are given, you will not find any more resentment or demonstration by youths. At the moment, majority of Nigerians believe in the six zonal structure. On the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, Ikokwu said it was his release was important as the Radio Biafra he manged was not a crime. ‘’The issue of Radio Biafra is not treasonable. Radio Biafra is digital instrument registered in United Kingdom or America. “It is not the first time. Professor Wole Soyinka had Radio Kudirat, done abroad and broadcasting to Nigeria. NADECO endorsed such foreign radios by Nigerians. “It is a matter of freedom of information. If Kanu is guilty of treason on account of Radio Biafra then millions of Nigerians are guilty of treason in the social media because it is a digital matter now. You take your smart phone and say whatever you like – good, bad, rubbish, exemplary, etc.” https://www.naij.com/777018-ojukwu-warned-igbos-dont-want-listen-biafra-war-hero.html?source=index_main 2 Likes |

Ikokwu is a bloody Yolobar man. Modify: For those calling Agatu this and that, go and create an Agatu thread and wankoff there. No one's gonna stop yall. This thread is about the Yelobar men Ojuikwu and Ikoikwu. And they keep calling Kyase and I Agatu people. . Funny buncha kids that know nothing outside what they see in their sitting rooms (if they have any in their houses). 11 Likes |

EastLebanon: You are a disgrace. The animal called ojuiku of cursed memory lost 3m soul and ran away yet you see nothing wrong in that but can easily call people coward. Brave men fight to there last, even if it involve killing themselve than allow the enemy to kill them when they lost a battle. The ediot ran away and still come back to contest election in same country he fought against, he is a disgrace to all sane men. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

EastLebanon: Keep deceiving yourself by misrepresenting an issue to score cheap points. The criminal herdsmen are what they are, criminal murderers and are no different from the ritualists and armed robbers that regularly waste the innocent lives of your kin in the East. The shameful aspect is that you're your own worst enemies. If the killings in your own land by your own brethren have failed to make you wise, why not focus on treating your own folly instead? Stop derailing and focus on Ojukwu's message. 9 Likes |

But Ojukwu did not also say we should fold our hands and allow the hausa/fulanis and their slaves destroy the economy of the East and enslave our daughters in their Muslim "Love Jihad". Did he? If the hausas are bent on dipping the koran in the sea through the East coast then surely there will be an armed resistance. They can look south west if they want to achieve that peacuful. This Estatecof Dan fodio will be crushed either in peace or war if it tries to encroach into the East. It's very simple. 3 Likes |

To put it succinctly ,what Ojukwu might have warned against must have been for igbos never to fight conventional warfare, but even Israel that lost 6 million people are ever in a war mood and ready to take on aggressive neighbours. Igbos should focus more on a defensive force that would defend the east against fulani herdsmen up until they get 60% of their assets out of lagos and Abuja into west African capitals, then can igbos take guerilla warfare to demand for biafra 1 Like |

attacker231: It's shameless and pathetic that prominent Yoruba men have received an overdose of humiliation that will last them a life time despite being used by the Hausa-Fulanis as slaves to prosecute the 1967-70 civil war. It's worrisome that the loud-mouthed Yorubas have only but maintained a deafening silence. Understand this: Awolowo thought that there's great gain in treachery; alas, he was shortchanged on the long run and he ended up giving the Gambaris the right to take advantage of Yorubas by killing your leaders. Ojukwu lived standing up and defending his people and he remains a hero till this day! That cannot be said about the Yoruba General Oladipo Diya who wept like a kid before a junior officer because he was afraid of his life....after wilfully and knowingly plotting a coup.
