donborg: 300 years from now, everyone of us alive now must have been dead. How will Nigerians talk about the war 300 years from now? They will talk about how Ojukwu rallied his people against Tyranny despite the odds.. They will talk about how the few stood against the many.. The war will be all about Ojukwu. Gowon will become a villain in the story. Adekunle will be forgotten. That's how history works bro.. 2 Likes |

SuperS1Panther: And After shooting everything that move and things that didn't move, how fared the great Adekunle? He died a pauper.. He died bedridden... And his name forgotten. No monument named after him... Unlike Ojukwu who got a state burial and had lots of monuments named after him. He's still remembered by Pro biafrans and anti biafrans alike. Ojukwu was great than The black scorpion both in Life and in death 1 Like |

Your leaders have subjected you to buying fuel at an expensive rate, using generator, enjoying noisy and drive thru wack towns, send ur kids abroad for better education, send ur yourself and ur kids to UK for medical.. U are the real coward... He at least confronted his oppressors but u and ur generation yet yo be born are cowards and have refused to confront your oppressors.. I bet u, by 2050 , when ur nigeria would have become the third most populous country in the world and more than half live in abject poverty, u may get sense.. For now, u don't av sense.. U can't stand ordinary constable of the police force and u are calling a man who held a whole country along with her partners for a brutal war for almost four years.. Grow some balls baba..

obayaya:Yes He stood up to tyranny, but at what cost? 3.5 million souls? even though I admire ojukwu' s audacity ( I wouldn't call it bravery because of those deaths) my problem with ojukwu is his inability and unwillingness to sacrifice his personal liberty and freedom for biafra like Mandela and lately kanu did! If you want to understand ojukwu and his actions better, try and read the life of Maitatsine. If you still do not understand the madness in his audacity ( maybe because you love him with your heart, just like maitatsine's followers) I advise you try to read and research the accounts of the biafran war, especially chinua achebe's there was a country BUT pretend as if you are hausa/fulani/yoruba man. believe me you will see his actions in another different light. Maitatsine's followers believed in him even though most Muslims saw him as a madman. I rest my case 1 Like |

seunmsg: Don't u ever complain about nigeria.. U and ur third generation will still live and suffer as a result of a failed country which can not even guarantee safety of her citizens.. Cowards who die severally instead of fighting back.. Ur mentality is the reason this country is backward... Cowards.. Are u living? Go to advanced countries and see citizens of good countries live life.. Austria is smaller than many states in nigeria and is far ahead of Nigeria even in 100 years to come.. When will people like u get sense? U call life where u buy fuel, start generator, Bleep ladies becus of poverty, use a death trapped roads, use wack hospitals etc a life? My brother, that is not a life. Those who died fighting for a better country are far better than u.. 2 Likes |

What had he successfully lead? Home, war or politics? Home? Problem and rift between him, his children(Sylvester Dede, the first born and the rest) and wives War?

donborg: You admire his Audacity and the fact he stood for freedom.. your only grouse is that he didn't die for what he believed in. Generation unborn will admire his audacity and the reasons that prompted his actions and war.. You have problems with how he prosecuted the war. So do I. But that doesn't change the fact that history will always remember him as Hero. Because in the end, People don't really care much about what you did and how you did it. They care more about why you did it. |

donborg: I wouldn't say he's a warmonger...greed/emotions and miscalculation just got the best of him. And as a career soldier who's an officer - you can't afford to make rash/hasty judgement, hence the need for feasibility studies and planning. Also, decision making has to always be about how to minimise casualties...that's one thing you learn in the British army. I'm surprised he graduated from Warminster and Hythe military academies cos he acted more like an American trained soldier. I don't know about the other guy, Uwazuruike (never heard of him...Igbos have some of the craziest tongue twisting names ever lol. That shyt sounds like Chris Rock's girlfriend's name - Echikunwoke - I believe she's Igbo as well lol). But Kanu is more of a wingnut and loose cannon like Alex Jones and no sane person should allow someone as unstable as that guy lead anything. And apart from the fact that he's not a career soldier, he lacks tact and diplomacy...and letting someone like him take charge is another disaster waiting to happen. Igbos have fine soldiers in the US military, especially the ones born and raised in the US (there aren't that many of them in the British military - I've only met one or two) and since most Igbos still feel strongly about Biafra, some of them can always take charge, by acting behind the scene - with an educated Nigerian Igbo as the face of the struggle. People can live in denial all they want but these Igbos all over the globe aren't giving up on Biafra. Even amongst my own friends in London, you can just feel the passion whenever they talk about it and that's how most of them were raised (The Igbo Americans I chat to on the hiphop/sports forum I frequent are also the same). And as a guy, even if you've a different understanding/perspective of how things happened - you just have to respect their own perspective and agree to disagree. However, one thing that can't change is the collapse of Nigeria based on the current structure and the inability of the people to fix a lot of things that are fundamentally wrong with the country. The people are so delusional that they prefer masking all the flaws of the country and that's problematic. It's just a matter of when and what the eventualities would be. I just hope if and when the inevitable happens, the casualties won't be dire. Anyway, I'm out of here. I just like clowning Ojukwu whenever I see his name anywhere. That guy was everything a soldier should never aspire to be. If he were Russian/Chinese, he would've been court-martialled in absentia, while he was in exile. 4 Likes |
