The great Ikemba, go well in God. Your wisdom and knowledge was beyond. For you spoke, did and practiced the truth, teaching peace and justice. You Generals Ojukwu and Effiong did not err in the Aburi Peace Accord, but your foes did, causing their brutal war on your peoples of Biafra. Even though, i always like the courage of General Ojukwu, it was General Effiong his deputy who stopped the that brutal war. I guess whenever Ojukwu is talked about, Philip Effiong should always be remembered. Nevertheless, it is not always so, Philip Effiong is always being forgotten, who saved Nigeria, the entire Eastern Nigeria and the Igbo nations from further bloodshed. Yes, give credit to whom credit belongs to.
tawonga munyanduri hello, is a matter of opinion. You are free to see things, your own way and come to your own conclusion. So do I. Whatever crosses your mind regarding my comment, I wish to inform you, that I am not of IGBO ORIGIN. Thank you so much!
The reason why Nigeria is backward is because Nigerians don't know a hero from a villain, they only make choices from feelings rather that rational. Ojukwu murdered is people and ran away but they still regard him as hero
I respect him, he knew when to start and stop attributes only few can boast of -- I respect him If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life - and only then will I be free to become myself.
There is something that some guys who spoke against this man don't know.can you do like this man he is hero while you not.he is a great man a king and remain hero in history of nigeria and biafraland as well
@@mrcongeniality4836 You’re an idiotic element, I don’t know whether you’re dead or alive! Everyone fought Biafra war with passion and determination. Nobody was forced to fight. You’re a fool and a disgrace to your family.
The best war is focus, hardwork and continous dialogue. As I watch this I remember all those who have lost their lives. May their soul rest in peace. Amen. Nigeria was a creation of the British, just like a father who goes out to have illegitimate children. The children have to live with it, be civil and if one child has envy and jealously which leads to violence then advice your children to be careful but live your life to the full and create the best life for your children with hardwork as our mantra. We have leant also that when we show our disunity the outside world will be waiting to capitalise which they did with Nigeria. Therfore let us be slow to anger and compromise in ways that will not impede real growth and development.
You can imagine the honour Nigerians give this dude! THis was a man who led Nigeria to its darkest times in history. Yet shown so much love. Shame on pro Biafra thieves of today. He was even honoured in our national colours!!!!!
Ojokuw was a great hello that all Nigerians will never have again . He was a great Solder who fight for a humanity . He make use of his education , Our Nigeria problem have never be solve because of bad leaders ," Northern are selfish in power !
Ojukwu was a hero. I am so proud of him and also being his fan because he speak my language fluently (Yoruba) that you cannot hear igbotic accent while speaking.
He was fluent in Igbo, English, French, Ibibio, Hausa as well. He saved Igbo people if not I will not be alive. Also many Nigerians due to our inate deceptive nature actually helped put down the first coup of 1966 that is often falsely dubbed an Igbo coup....when one of the many players was another brilliant soldier Major Ademoyega. Until tribes made up of the contraption called Nigeria learn history it will never progress. RIP "The people's general"
During the time of Biafra no information was as clear as we hear it now,many thanks to the authors of this keep us informed for ever so that we will not have similar conflicts in future.
andrew ngwenya but, the man (Baba Obasanjo) who brought this means of information has turned to people's enemy due to his open minded, integrity and Justice
I am a Ngwenya too and curious if you're just as interested in African history as I am or there are indeed Ngwenya people in West Africa. I was probably 7 years old and was reading my dads book about this while in Zambia before moving to Zimbabwe in the 80's. It seems this man was what Nigeria needed.
Ezeigbo Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu is specifically created by God. Such a great personality. You could hate Him if you like , it wouldn't change who he was and infact still is. His an institution and would never die
May his soul rest in perfect peace father before father we Nigeria miss you ur great work we can't never erase from our memories thanks father sleep well

The biafra war was Nigeria's darkest period in history, thousands lost their lives and millions were displaced and endured untold suffering, and starvation. Ojukwo was the architect of the biafra war. Millions of people are probably wondering why he was not held accountable and executed and why he now gets a military burial.
Those who refused to adopt or implement the aburi Accord was the one who spills the blood of Africans in that war ,Ojukwu was defending the truth and the aburi agreements, from the look of things,ojukwu never wanted that war but you can't coward him .
Here on this forum, say what ever u want but when ur people are being killed, u will make the same decision as Ojukwu did. Some say he left, yes he did to save more million lives from Federal persecution. He stood for the truth and he's a HERO.
Rest in everlasting peace, amen. May Allah grant you peace and forgive you all your sin. You are a hero for your people and Yoruba people all over the world love and respect you for your brave, honesty and love for igbos. RIP
