An iroko. Rest on the general
ReplyDeleteSo hot and handsome. But wait first o was the currency he introduced used?
ReplyDeleteYes it was used.
DeleteMay God raise men like Ojukwu...
DeleteYes it was used. It was also accepted as legal tender in some neighbouring African countries. I'm not aware that the Nigerian naira has ever been valued that much.
Delete"We make no apologies for the social phenomenon known as the Biafran revolution; rather, we proclaim with pride the inevitability of our struggle, the indestructability of our people, and the assured finality of our success.” Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu.
ReplyDeleteRest on the gallant one and the peoples Hero.
“We do not play politics. We are not masochists; rather, we are people who choose to hunger a little to remain alive instead of feeding fat to become respectable corpses.” Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu.
DeleteEven if you are in space and you saw this post na run you go run come comment.... Teejay the biafran why you no follow your role model footstep..
Delete😬😬😬😬😬😬
Lol...@Bigbanty, we were first Biafrans before becoming Nigerians.
DeleteAnd we need a new revolution. To eradicate completely those traitors masking as brothers and sisters: Rochas, Ngige, Loretta and every igbo person currently holding political office or affiliation. They are vermin, stains and curses.
DeleteIf only the whole of southern Nigeria saw what he was seeing and shared his dream...
ReplyDeleteI tell you he saw it before it began rest on our hero
DeleteWas Ojukwu ever a General? I don't think so or atleast he didn't act like one.
ReplyDeleteWhen I learnt and read about Gen. Ojukwu. I schooled somewhere in the Cameroons, in high school, African history ...the Nigerian Civil War. Yes it was in the curriculum and appeared in the GCE A LEVELS.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I marvell at his mind, brain and all of his being. He was so young! He had a big vision, a vision to liberate his people, a lion and tiger mind, liver strong like iron, very daring young man at the time.
As the lecture progresses, we learnt or came to the conclusion that he would have succeeded if not for the Muslim president of Cameroon at the time Ahmadou Ahidjo whom the northern led Nigerian gov't aligned with and he intercepted arms that Ojukwu had ordered. It was intercepted at the ocean...around the famous Bakassi. That's why the biafrans lost so many, the Nigerian army was able to crush the Biafran army.
The arms that did not reach the Biafran army, killed the dream. Ojukwu forgot or overlooked to build an alliance with the Cameroons. It was a srategic blunder that caused them an almost anihilation of Biafra.
You are truly a good student of history. This part of history was expunged from the Nigerian curriculum and can never be told in the Nigerian school.
DeleteBiafrans didn't just fight Nigeria as a country, but Britain, France, Russia and Cameroon inclusive. Without sophistated weaponry, they held on for three years with locally made weapons. It was a terrible thing that ever happened to us as a people and like I always will say, the war could have been avoided if only Gowon didn't reneged on the Aburi accord.
I hope the mistakes of the past won't play out again, for no country will ever survive two civil war.
My love for you nwanne madu
Deletechai if only biafra has succeeded our children won't be languishing under aboki imposed backwardness and poverty now.
