Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by VillageWinch: 12:40am On Nov 04, 2017 |
9jaDoc: Doesn't mean he gave the order |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by VillageWinch: 1:28am On Nov 04, 2017 |
9jaDoc: In that case why is Murtala considered responsible for Asaba massacre and not Gowon |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by 9jaDoc(f): 1:33am On Nov 04, 2017 |
VillageWinch: He was the ultimate commander. He bears responsibility |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by 9jaDoc(f): 1:37am On Nov 04, 2017 |
VillageWinch: That was durring war time. |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by VillageWinch: 1:43am On Nov 04, 2017 |
9jaDoc: What's the difference |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by 9jaDoc(f): 3:00am On Nov 04, 2017 |
VillageWinch: Durring war time the field commanders have the final say |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by WetinConsignMe: 3:16am On Nov 04, 2017 |
9jaDoc: Thanks I think that's a succinct summary of the why |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by VillageWinch: 3:39am On Nov 04, 2017 |

Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by VillageWinch: 4:13am On Nov 04, 2017 |
9jaDoc: Which history. The C in C is always blamed for atrocities of those within his command |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by 9jaDoc(f): 4:23am On Nov 04, 2017 |
VillageWinch: Except durring war time. Otherwise some US Presidents would have gone to jail for war crimes |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by VillageWinch: 5:05am On Nov 04, 2017 |
9jaDoc: So how come Charles Taylor is in jail for war crimes? |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by 9jaDoc(f): 5:13am On Nov 04, 2017 |
VillageWinch: He was physically in the war front |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by WetinConsignMe: 6:21am On Nov 04, 2017 |
9jaDoc: Obadanjo was physically in the "war front" too. He was in Lagos same as Fela |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by WetinConsignMe: 6:22am On Nov 04, 2017 |
So he must have acquiesced to what was going on |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by Nobody: 8:22am On Nov 04, 2017 |
9jaDoc: Sincerely I don't understand ur post. |

PrecisionFx: We are actually agreeing with each other. I simply posted what Awo said. Which is this: "If any region should opt out of the Federation of Nigeria, then the Federation should be considered to be at an end, and that the Western Region and Lagos should also opt out of it." And this: "We have neither military might nor the overwhelming advantage of numbers here in Western Nigeria and Lagos. But we have justice of a noble and imperishable cause on our side, namely: the right of a people to unfettered self-determination." Then I posted: "Na wa o. Forcing someone to associate with u. Never seen anything like that" Which is same as what u r saying: they were forcing Biafra to be in a union they don't want to be in. |

PrecisionFx: Charles Taylor did. He was on the run with his boys. |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by WetinConsignMe: 7:52pm On Nov 04, 2017 |
I think it is obvious the army would not have been able to maltreat Fela if OBJ was against it |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by WetinConsignMe: 7:56pm On Nov 04, 2017 |
Back to the question at hand: Did Gowon promise Awo rulership of 9ja once the war was won?
|
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by WetinConsignMe: 8:00pm On Nov 04, 2017 |
It depends on how u look at the available evidence |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by WetinConsignMe: 8:01pm On Nov 04, 2017 |
Awo obviously had a dramatic change of heart within a few short weeks. |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by WetinConsignMe: 8:04pm On Nov 04, 2017 |
Going from a perfect pacifist to sabre-rattling war monger |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by WetinConsignMe: 8:11pm On Nov 04, 2017 |
Add to that the fact that he abruptly resigned in 1971 after Gowon said he was not handing over to civilians. |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by WetinConsignMe: 8:12pm On Nov 04, 2017 |
You can make a very good case that he was promised rulership. |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by GhanaMustGoo: 8:19pm On Nov 04, 2017 |
But that Awo sef. So it was presidency or nothing |
Re: 10 Awolowo Controversies: Are They Justifiable? by Nobody: 8:41pm On Nov 04, 2017 |
WetinConsignMe: Being on the run isn't same as being a soldier or a general. |
