OP, Emeka Ojukwu wasn't a general but a lt-col. Some 10 years ago when he went to Abuja for his pension, he was addressed as Lt-Col. Emeka Ojukwu (rtd). 2 Likes |

OrlandoOwoh:The Biafran Army was an epitome of military prowess. It exhibited an uncanny inventiveness and survival amidst daunting odds. It was the closest black Africa got to challenging Western/European hegemony and emasculation. That Napoleon Bournaparte and Hannibal eventually lost wars does not detract from the fact that they were among the best military strategists and minds of all time. It is better to earn valour even in defeat than to cower continually in cowardice. 7 Likes |

Which among the war generals you referred to ran away from the war front in an act of shameful cowardice dressed in women's clothing; yet having the greed and mindset not to forget 2 tons of luggage including his luxury mercedes Benz car; while leaving behind the hapless starving population he misled, though he himself feeding fat, while denying them access to red cross food aid for the sake of propaganda, to their own devices? 1 Like |

MeAboki: Right on point!!! Unfortunately, in ibo parlance that's the epitome of HEROISM in battle. No wonder they even conferred on him myriad titles among which are: eze gburugburu of iboland, Ikemba of Nnewi ati bebelo(etc) and married off their prettiest "animashaun" aka "cheerful giver" aka "village bike" to him as a childbride (who, incidentally, is now their First Lady) in recognition of him leading them into a shambolic war . |

MeAboki:Don't you think it will be pointless on my side to engage you on this argument? Going by the submission you made above, it is crystal clear that you are incapable of objective reasoning but only reliant on "kunu" and "burukutu" joint tales fed to you by mischievous elements. 3 Likes |

^^^^Yes, agreed, it is pointless arguing with facts, so don't bother. On the other hand, your idiotic reference to my alleged dependence on kunu (assuming you even know what it is) reveals your abject ignorance and shallow mindset; probably a manifestation of KURU - a disease that afflicts those that consume the brain of their own kind (that's a CANNIBAL to you). That may explain why your degenerating grey matter could not deal with the facts in my earlier post. |
