HopeAtHand: Life is more important than anything bro. Today he's alive to tell the story and Abacha is no more. Ojukwu started a war and ran away when defeat became obvious. That's to tell you even a war General that lost over two million of his people is not ready to lose his own life. 102 Likes 9 Shares |

seunmsg: I take it from you that the reason be begged for his life is to tell his part of the story. Well, better to hear from the horses mouth direct. But the story in effect is one of shame, a story of subjection to indignity. I can count a million persons who will rather die than be subjected to kneeling and crying to a junior officer to live. What the heck is life for goodness sakes. Abacha is dead, Al-mustapha will someday. Death comes sooner or later, but that indignity is engraved in history. 15 Likes |

Cry cry General. Typically yoruba! If the 'crying' evidence wasn't captured on camera they would have called everyone 'gullible Ipods' for believing the story. More cowardly years to his yoruba life. lmao! 17 Likes 1 Share |

HopeAtHand: The story may appear as that of shame and indignity to you but to him and his loved ones, it's a sweet story of survival against all odds. Today, his family will roll out the drum and celebrate him. That we are even here on NL talking about him says it all. Death is an inevitable end of every being but we all desire to live as long as possible. If it can be helped, nobody wants to die till it becomes inevitable. That's why we all can go to any length to survive. That's also why an Ojukwu can run for his dear life after leading over 2 million people to death. Life is precious and nobody will want to lose it if it can still be helped. 35 Likes 1 Share |
