true talk, read there was a country by Chinua Achebe. Ojukwu would have waited If he gat gods

8unit:
I'm not from the east or south south, i'm not even a Biafran and don't ever wish to be. But i had to read about Biafran war out of my curiousity. I also read much about wars and i discovered It is only a foolish General that will
allow himself to be captured when
there is room for escape. ojukwu did
the right thing by escaping capture
because he would have been
humiliated and killed. The rule for Generals is to escape
capture if you can but where this is not
possible, you either commit suicide or
die taking your bullets on the chest
and not your back. I think people should stop saying that man ran away. I'm a Nigerian and I know how bad Nigerian Government would have treated Biafrans if Ojukwu was caught red handed and humiliated. Had it been Ojukwu was captured, Gowon wouldn't have said "No Victor, No Vanguished". I think the only respect Igbos still have now is Ojukwus escape cos their wasn't any prosecution after the war. Nigerian army didn't win the war because Ojukwu wasn't captured. I love igbos, I'm still in love with my first love who's igbo and the little time i spent with his mum is one of the most exciting times of my life. My take

Ephemmm:


Who are you deceiving? Ojukwu is not only an improvident leader but a coward who should learn from MKO. MKO was told to either renounce his Presidency or stay in the prison for life. As Are-ona-Kakanfo, he restated his commitment to the dream he believed in and died in the process


Igbo boy! you are hereby charged for impersonation.

BlackMbakara1:
He was a trained soldier, so this excuse is not tenable. Before you plan a coup or go to war, you know the consequences...read about Spartans.

He who fights and run remains a coward. Was his life or was he better than those who died during the struggle?

My advice is don't start what you can't finish. A good captain is the last person to ABS...

Herald47:
The worst thing that would have happened to the igbos would have been ojukwu dying in the war,if that ojukwu died in the war,who knows the conditions the igbos would have been in todays nigeria,the nigerian forces killed innocent civilians even children within 12yrs were massacred at asaba,is it ojukwu that they will spare?

Igboid:


You need your head examined. When did Ojukwu plan a coup or start a war?

Does this good captain ish apply to your self acclaimed coward sage that abandoned the ship of life using Otapiapia boat to sail over the other side when IBB had him cornered?

BlackMbakara1:


To go school na one thing, another is to understand simple English. I see your fingers does the thinking, ordinarily i wouldn't have dignify you with a response but since your so myopic and not rational...i'll leave you to your folly.

If you were properly schooled, you should have lectured me with facts and not display your crass stupidity...maturity is read and waka pass.

Get the Bleep off my mention bloody idiot, who is your mate?

If all the soldiers that Ojukwu sent to the war front had escaped like he did, what would have happened?? Oh, he knew how to send other men to the battlefield, but he himself chose the escape route? We live and learn... it is ok.

raumdeuter:
Give us examples of respected war generals who fled war front and left their followers to die

Just imagine if all the soldiers decided to bail on him first...

Igboid:
Afonja slimy one is yet again on Igbo thread spreading his rancid opinions.

By the time Ojukwu left Biafra, the war was almost over.
Ojukwu fought alongside his men in many of the battles, he was the people general.
Can Afonja slimy ones love Ndiigbo more than Ndiigbo love ourselves?
We know of their Igbophobia, why are they crying more than the bereaved here?

Fineman87:


My brother. Me I tire for them. Their compulsion to oppose and confront the igbos betray their innate fears. May heaven help them.

Ojukwu left Biafra on 9th January 1970, Biafra. under Effiong surrendered to Nigeria on 12th January 1970.
How exactly did Ojukwu send Ndiigbo to war he wasn't part of?
