Better to die in dignity than to live in shame.

Operation Tail-Wind (January 7 – 12, 1970) was the final military conflict between Nigeria and Biafra. The operation took place in the towns of Owerri and Uli, both of which were captured by Nigerian forces. The operation ended with General Odumegwu Ojukwu fleeing to the Ivory Coast and then president of Biafra Philip Effiong surrendering to Olusegun Obasanjo

But ojuku of cursed memory who happens to be the god of the Ibos remains the greatest coward ever liveth. The pedophille ran away after losing 3 million flat heads, he is a disgrace to all military men both dead and alive.

I am sorry I have no respect for the man; I used to be a fan when he was still a military administrator, I lost all that since Abacha used him to trick Yoruba elders after the June 12 saga, later setting him up like when you set up 'opiro'/'cowboy'/chicken with maize . . . Al Mustapha pissed on him at will, and then his show of cowardice: crying, kneeling down for Abacha (the sadist) -- not a general.

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.

Would you pick up arms right now and go fight against BH? Don't call someone else a coward when you have not proven that you yourself are not. If an armed robber threatens to kill you in your home, will you not cry and beg for your life?

1. Wrong analogy, even though I get your drift.

2. You don't know me, unless you're telling you have psychic powers to decipher what I've done, do, or can do.

3. I am not an Army General.

4. Lt. Gen Oladipo Diya is a traitor (you can dig up on that) -- my strongest point, probably also my Achilles heel is, 'unwavering loyalty' -- I hate traitors!
