For instance, why are some Igbos trying to sweep under the rug that OJUKWU ADMIRED AWO LONG AFTER THE WAR AND CALLED HIM A HERO?

Explain that one to me. Shouldn't Ojukwu be the one most angry against Awo?

Yet he never said one bad word against him. Quite the contrary, praising him and calling him a hero

PrecisionFx:


What is paganism??

This is paganism:

But that Fela was really fearless

Who'd have believed he once wore suite and tie

Like I already told you:

OJUKWU HAD PRESIDENTIAL AMBITIONS.
HE NEEDED YORUBA VOTES!!

Explain ur sef

Self-explanatory

Amarabae posted it and I'm asking your opinion of it

Here it is:

Thank God that Gen.Sani Abacha was NOT an Igbo,
Had it been he was, they would have been whinning about how An Igbo man killed their son.
SARO WIWA- A man who mocked Igbos continually during the war.
His Igbophobia was over limited.
That's why I will rather stay in a Restructured Nigeria with hausa/yorubas than have anything to do with these minorities in the name of a heterogeneous Biafra

How so?

VillageWinch:


How so?

Well Ojukwu had always admired Awo

WetinConsignMe:

Ojukwu admired many people

Ojukwu admired many people

He admired Awo specifically

May be that's your answer. Like he was in love with Awo. Couldn't see wrongs.

He didn't say that about any other person

He didn't say that about any other person

Like when u r in love u tend not to see wrongs done by the person

VillageWinch:


Like when u r in love I tend no to see wrongs done by the person

At least I don't recall him calling any other person hero

WetinConsignMe:


At least I don't recall him calling any other person hero

He was speaking of Awo not others

VillageWinch:


He was speaking of Awo not others

Even when he was speaking of others

Look, Ojukwu praised other people too. Just that u don't hear noise made about it

Pls link it up with the Awo topic.

Nope.
That's not paganism.

WetinConsignMe:

Yes.
Probably the most fearless Yoruba man.
If he was alive today, He could actually wake up the Yoruba youths from their present slumber.

Link it up how? How do u do that?

PrecisionFx:



Nope.
That's not paganism.

Fela was a pagan - he was neither a Christian nor Moslem

How can he call Gowon a hero. They were trying to kill each other.

He and Awo were trying to kill each other too
