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?
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by WetinConsignMe: 8:51pm On Nov 01, 2017
Yet he never said one bad word against him. Quite the contrary, praising him and calling him a hero

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

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