I am a Yoruba, I love Ojukwu, I had the opportunity of meeting him in Ibadan in 1988 at the birthday party of JupBakhout the CEO of Spectrum Publishers. I personally believe that Ojukwu was a special God given gift to Nigeria who was psychologically maimed by the creators of Nigeria, in order to suppress the growth of any black nation that may emerge from that community. He had a great vision, If Biafra had succeeded as a nation, Other nations like the Oodua Republic would have also emerged and all could had been in better development. Unfortunately the control of the destiny of the black race is handed to the terrorists, and very soon the whole world will know the truth. Rest In Peace Odumegewu Ojukwu, your legacy of truth shall continue to live forever.
I wish I had same opportunity as you, as well as speak with him. No doubt it would have been enlightening. I think the union has failed and division is advisable in the interest of fairness and peace for all involved.
You shouldn't expect anything less from ojukwu spoken English because he was taken to England at a very tender age. Likewise, teachers today aren't bad but there was no facilities to teach like their own days.
I'm emotionally hurt as Ghanaian for the biafrains. A typical Ashanti man is like IBO man. I have fellow Gen. Ojuku and Emazi KANU for long so l understand everything he is saying. Your ancestors blood will never leave in vain..l was listing to lbo high life music.
This is the reason why the so called Nigerian government stopped history in our universities. 2021 if you are still finding out how it all happened let’s gather here
My First time watching the great hero speak. I am not an igbo but i love the igbos so much, they deserve their own nation. We pray Biafra come true soon.
This man is so intelligent. No wonder he was loved so much by his people. R.I.P Ojukwu!! He probably would have won that Civil war if he had enough armoury to match that of the Federal Military.
I think Ojukwu would’ve won the war had the Nigerian government not blocked the supply chain to Biafra. His people though not as skilled as the Nigerian military had everything it took to win the war.

Buhari is NOT articulated and enlightened individual with non or mundane education. He lack clarity and that has been his personality even when he was a military head of state.Idiagbon was the person coordinating and managing the affairs of the nation then.
@@inspirationvoice7438 you are correct my brother. Just like he has employed minister of tweeter, face book and other social media to help him. He got Femi and other cabals to write scripts for him.. He does not take questions from people. He is just like a toy baby being carried around by people...
@@imrornosaya1551I know you may be dead by now, but if not, you are wrong in your assertion, it's you that shall not see Biafra but Gowon will see it.
@imrornosaya1551 I'm replying you in 2024, enemy of the east....hope you are enjoying Ur Nigeria in 2024.... ..what u wish for others will always come back to you it's only matter of time
@@tobynna3825 mumu my father went to war and came back alive they were also paying him to feed his family. The cause for the war was as a result of killing of igbos in the north that's why igbos started requesting for biafra not only the igbos bit some of the ethnic groups. Note 5 million people didn't die as a result of bullet but died because of hunger. Where were the british when the igbos were calling for hunger during the war, rather they aid the nigerians to close the cameroon border
Point of correction for the professor: The easterners mandated Ojukwu to declare the eastern region of Nigeria a sovereign independent nation, it was not the Igbos alone that sought the breakaway, contrary to most understandings of the events of that era. Therefore, to say that the Igbos mandated Ojukwu to secede from Nigeria is erroneous. It was the eastern consultative assembly that issued that mandate. This is important to understand to avoid creating the impression of exclusiveness of our brothers and sisters from other parts of the region. The Igbo is not Biafra nor Biafra is Igbo. Biafra includes the Ijaw, Ibibio, Kalabari, Efik, Ogoni, Ogoja and Igbo. This must be put in proper context if we must address the issue of Biafra in greater perspective. All in all, this was vintage Ojukwu at his historic best. May his soul rest in peace!!!
Exactly... the presence of minority tribes is usually overlooked. At a time before independence they even petitioned for their own state called COR. Nice video.
I'm telling you both interviewer and the guest are birds of the same feathers full of lies and properganda in the interview even without earing all the parties in all the rancour metion in the video clarly shows the whole story tells here in the video was typical lies.

+Norbert Gano Someone should have told you to keep your mouth shut if you don't have anything intelligent to contribute to a serious discussion. You should have seen how ridiculous and stupid your response sounds - very incomprehensible!
Man let's live in big country by the name africa. Without tribalism corruption poor. Let's agree of our differences. And peace. I'm Sudanese we have the same problem tribalism. This man has superior intellect he studied with my relative in london
I feel privileged to have fought the Biafra/Nigeria war under my General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. May God grant his soul a perfect rest. He will be remembered for a longest time.
I don't have a problem with Biafra, but I don't want a war. The thoughts of the lives that will be lost is horrifying. Please, you can win in another way; Play politics, bring money and courtship. Igbos have the capacity but to play politics is zero. Igbos wake up but through a war. Play politics!
I admire the intelligence of igbos, the eloquence, but it's also important to let them know one Nigeria is of great benefit than autonomous Biafra they yearn for,,
As a Nigerian not as northerner or as from hausa tribe as a Nigerian I really respect this man oga and I believe in the unity of my country and accept all the differences in my motherland we just need a who come for work for development
@@khalidbashir4017 he is actually a moron to insult people from the north. I am a southerner living in the north and i really love it so much here that i can never live in the south again even if I'll be paid 1m naira monthly
Rest on Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu. You will forever be remembered as a fearless hero that started the course for what will later become Biafra. Amen!!! Your aura and grace...😭😭😭
Buhari can not even speak like this without reading from what Femi has written for him and pre-recorded. This is how a good educated leader should come out and speak and address people.
@@abdulqadirkabir6118 shushh. A leader should be articulate. Have you seen him with world leaders and how he behaves? Is Buhari articulate? Just be honest to yourself. You all are the issue we are facing! To be a leader of a country like Nigeria we need an someone who is well educated. Look at America almost all their presidents schooled in Harvard. The Same applies to the UK 🇬🇧. Their prime ministers schooled in Cambridge.
This is pure intelligence and brilliance. The African icon would have become the first Nigerian president for Nigerian prosperity. From Kenya I declare that may the soul of Ikemba Nnewi continue resting in peace.
The knowledge is fast spreading that even those of from north central who have been miseducated while growing can now see things for what things truly are.
Ojukwu, the man that stood for the truth. They declared war on Biafrans because, they opted for freedom. Nigeria has never been a nation & will never be. Today is October 1, regarded as the independent day but, nothing is happening unlike before, meaning that everyone is tired of this contraption called "Nigeria" even those hooligans who declared war on Biafrans are regretting it today, with the emergence of herdsmen and Boko haram holding the country static. May the gentle soul of this brave & noble hero, Ojukwu rest in perfect peace.... Amen

Dim General Odumegwe Ojukwu,you were a great leader,a very humane Nigerian and forthright African; I will always love and respect you. May your courageous soul rest in Christ Jesus. Amen
Biafra will remain for Biarans. Thank you Daddy Ikemba. I love you More Than any King Of the this World....you are the real Human Who loves his own people..you will always be in our mind for ever..RIP
I have tried to arrive at the truth and thank God its same things he have said here, I studied Nigerian from 1953 down and got my answers . The Igbos are being blamed for trying to help Nigerians just as Peter Obi is doing now, they wanted peace , they wanted to solve the problem , but British n there friends with the power drunk Action groups blablabla . We need history back on school. This will promote love if we get to know the truth , from thee the unity start .
It is nice to hear Mr. Onjukwu speak in these interviews. I like the way he speaks English as well as his overall style of communication. I like the way he explains the background to the Biafran session, the attempt to create a separate state from Nigeria, from his perspective.
I thought it was only me that saw the way he speak so well and His communication, honestly I miss this my father, sometimes I ask myself if he's Pete edochie or Pete edochie us him bcus them speak so calmly and communicate with enough wisdom that is sosatisfying I miss ojukwu 😔
It is Biafra or nothing...nothing can stop Biafra except God in heaven... of course, God in heaven is our hope and our supporter...Biafra is here... See, as i shade tears, Nigeria doesn't want development, and that's why Biafrans want to move on and nothing can stop Biafra. My leader, His Exellency Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu,May your soul rest in perfect peace in Jesus' name, Amen.
Our Supreme legend... A new generation of Biafra promised we must restore the Biafra nation....is a promise. Continue resting in peace ....long live Ojokwu, long live Nnamdi Kanu, Long live IPOB....
Eze Ggburu Gburu Ndi Igbo, Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu, you're a great man and your fight for the freedom of your people won't be in vain... IPOB under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu will restore Biafra, the land of rising sun ☀
We shouldn't forget that he was a product of Oxford English University graduate, his grammar was better than the English people which is why Gowon himself confessed of not understanding his English. Rest in peace my hero.
You will never be educated until you remove that stupidity of upgrading only english speaker and seeing him as educated and wise and seeing those that speak another language as illiterate and unwise,hypocrasy everywhere.
It wasn't Oxford that made it so, no. Many Nigerians also went to Oxford around the time and can't speak with such intonation. It was the fact that he left King's College LAGOS and continued his secondary education in the UK, at a very young age. Not Oxford. If you like, as an adult, spend 20 years in Oxford for free, you won't have same accent. No way.
Odumegwu Ojukwu is a well articulated and knowledgeable leader.He has a great foresight of what will have happens in the future of this country-Nigeria but, I believe He was betrayed.More again,that what is playing out now.The repeated preponderant Is right Oregoning today.sad!
1966 Coup: “THE IGBOS NOW VINDICATED AND EXONERATED” --Olusegun Obasanjo. "Let the truth be told. The People involved in that so called 1966 “Igbo coup” were: 1. Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu (Midwest Region Igbo) 2. Major Adewale Ademoyega (Western Region - Yoruba), author of “Why we struck” 3. Capt. G. Adeleke (Western Region - Yoruba). 4. Maj. Ifeajuna (Midwestern Region - Igbo). 5. Lt. Fola Oyewole (Western Region - Yoruba), author of “The reluctant rebel”. 6. *Lt. Robert (Bob) Egbiko* (Midwestern Region - Ishan). 7. Lt. Tijani Katsina (Northern Region - Hausa/Fulani). 8. Lt. O. Olafemiyan (Western Region - Yoruba). 9. Capt. Gibson Jalo (Northern Region - Bachama). 10. Capt. Swanton (Northern Region - Middle Belt). 11. Lt. Hope Harris Eghagha (Midwest - Urhobo). 12. Lt. Dag Warribor (Midwest - Ijaw) 13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo (Northern Nigeria -Hausa) 14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera (Northern Nigeria-Tiv). The reason for calling the 1966 Coup an Igbo exercise is because the government of Nigeria has refused teaching Nigerian History in our schools. And core North has been busy misinforming Nigerians that the 1966 coup was an Igbo coup. ………………………………………................................. Yoruba - Igbo fact sheet. This article has no tribal sentiments. Pls add ur own facts if u have any. History will always tell us what happened. 1. Azikiwe defeated Awolowo to become the first Nigerian Premier of Western Nigeria (present Southwest plus Edo and Delta States). Awolowo instead of forming Opposition, rather formed Egbe Omo Yoruba and used it to intimidate Yorubas that won election on NCNC platform to cross carpet and join him against Azikiwe. This was the first parliamentary coup in Nigeria. 2. Awolowo from then on, started indoctrination of Yorubas against the “threat of Igbo domination”. That is how the incurable seed of fear of Igbos was sown in the psychic of Yorubas which Yorubas later sold to other groups through Yoruba control of the media for decades. 3. Alhaji Tafawa Balewa , Nigeria ‘s first Prime minister could not tolerate Awolowo’s treacherous and inordinate ambition of acquiring political power by all means and at any cost. So, he threw Awolowo into prison for treason. 4. Samuel Ladoke Akintola who replaced Awolowo as Premier of Western Nigeria tried to destroy Awolowo’s political grip on Yorubaland by forming a party to takeover Western Nigeria in alliance with the Hausa-Fulani oligarch who Awolowo despised as a backward race. Consequently, Yorubaland went ablaze in revolt against Akintola’s plot. Law and order completely broke down in Western Nigeria. Wole Soyinka wore a mask and forced announcers at Western Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation to declare that Akintola’s government was a fraud. 5. Yet, Tafawa Balewa refused to declare state of emergency in Western Nigeria in order to keep Akintola as a proxy for Hausa-Fulani interest. This was the MAIN reason Yoruba graduates in the Army were the brains behind the coup led by Chukwuma Nzeogwu who happened to be Igbo. 6. As Wole Soyinka and even Obasanjo acknowledged, Nzeogwu ‘s coup was widely accepted by a vast majority of Nigerians across regional, religious and ethnic divides. But the dissatisfied Hausa-Fulani oligarchy who had majority in Nigerian Army infantry used their puppets, Yakubu Gowon, Theophilus Danjuma and co to overthrow General Ironsi. 7. In order to win support of Yorubas, Gowon released Awolowo from prison. The Hausa-Fulani knew Awolowo’s fear of Igbo as the only group that stood against his ambition to power. Gowon therefore quickly made a deal with Awolowo which in effect was that power would rotate between the North and the West (Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba) in post war Nigeria if Awolowo convinced Yorubas to join the North in fighting Igbos. 8. The Nigerian Army was consequently split into two divisions: the northern sector division commanded by Hausa-Fulani and the southern sector division, commanded by Yorubas. 9. Lagos, a city built largely by Igbos and were Igbos invested heavily, was also ceded to Yorubas as a State even when there was no Abuja at the time (1967). 14. Awolowo was made Vice Chairman of Federal Executive Council and Finance Minister. All federal government owned banks in Nigeria at the time which included the Central Bank and First Bank, were under Awolowo and Yoruba management. It was a deal Awolowo could not resist. The man was an unscrupulous Machivellian anyway. 10. The Igbos were eventually defeated and Yorubas became champions of nationalism. 11. Awolowo tried to make sure no Igbo man or woman would ever be more than financial destitute let alone have the financial resources to rival a Yoruba. 12. To achieve his objective of permanent Yoruba supremacy, Awolowo insisted that every bank account owned by an Igbo, regardless of how much was in it before the declaration of Biafra, would only be replaced with twenty pounds! He instructed Yoruba Permanent Secretaries who took over the Federal Civil service when Igbos left, to make sure that Igbo senior civil servants were not reinstated but to rather retire those who could not be dismissed as rebels. The same policy obtained in the Armed Forces of Nigeria and Police . 13. The Igbo were not only made pariahs but also financial destitutes. 14. Every house and industry in Igbo city was destroyed by war. Schools were closed for 3 years and many were razed to the ground. 15. Awolowo masterminded the indiginization policy by which Yorubas bought over all companies in Nigeria using money readily made available to them by the banks under their control. The Igbos were excluded. 16. They rejoiced and relaxed and complaisantly asked: “How could Igbos ever rear their ugly heads up again”? Sure, if that had happened to Yorubas or any other ethnic group, that would be their end. But as Awolowo rightly feared, we happen to be Ndi Igbo. 17. The shooting war ended 45 years ago and we are still here. We have survived all policy shenanigans contrapted by treacherous Yoruba masterminds and executed by their Hausa-Fulani allies. 18. In frustration, they have realized that we are who we are. Imagine their frustration! Never mind all Yoruba masterminded psychological attacks on Igbos disparaging us in any way they can. 19. Yes, Federal government policy has made them the tycoons of oil and gas, telecommunications, insurance and manufacturing. Oh, their Hausa-Fulani cum military allies gave Nigeria to Obasanjo for 8 years in keeping faith with their alliance. 20. Bola Tinubu is struggling for Awolowo mantle by forming an alliance of etho- religious jingoistic to ensure power keeps rotating between Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani. Where is the position of the Igbo and other tribes in Nigeria. THAT IS WHY IGBOS WHO EXPERIENCE ALL THE ABOVE INJUSTICES THINK THAT BIAFRA IS THE ULTIMATE ANSWER. HOWEVER, MY TAKE IS THAT THIS SHOULD MAKE OUR IGBO LEADERS FOCUSED, AND FIGHT FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF THEIR KINSMEN, NOT ONLY FOR THEIR OWN POCKETS.
My HERO My External Leader. The LION of Biafra. Amuma na Egbe Igwe. The Greatest of them all. IKEMBA Ndi-Igbo. Eze Ndi-Igbo GBURU GBURU. OJUKWU remains Immortal.
If only the Nigerian leaders could listen to these underlying issues then, all these current fuss in the name of Boko haram, won't have existed even from the onset...
Believe me, Igbos are too good in whatever they set their minds to do. I strongly believe that Igbos are envied at, even our colonial masters envied the Igbos. Iistening to General Ojukwu, I felt educated leader. I love you Sir.
They sold a lie that it's an Igbo Coup, and the lie still holds water till today. That singular seed of discord still haunts Nigeria today especially the Igbos
Our children needs history class in our schools. It seems is a Yoruba coup. What is actually the fact. Awolowo was in Prison as Eze has said the aim was to free Chief Awolowo and made him leader. How many Yorubas can substantiate it.
@@hotmoviesactionfilm434 Igbos stopped the coup, Igbo leaders were killed in the coup and you think think it was an Igbo coup? No sir, you just biased and deluded. That coup was masterminded by young military officers who happened to come from all tribes in Nigeria.
@@chibuzorisrael5878, can you name any IGBO leader that was killed on Jan 15, 1966? I'll wait. The only Igbo officer that was killed was Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe.
i here stand by to tell any one who are not in support of Biafrans or who stand against Igbos legend ojukwu, in making bad comments or coursing our people igbos are said to be an infidel. in this page u are authorized to honour and appreciate this man in the stage, rather to do that u are here coursing our legend but today i made it clear and plain to your being that we Biafrans are proud we are. and nothing i said nothing we stop that great nation Biafrans bcos IT is said that what is writting has been writting, Almighty God has writting it. finally u infindels if u dont know what to comment better do your self a favour by skipping this channel.
We only have armed robbers politicians I have listened to Obafemi Awolowo Nnamdi Azikwe, Tafawa Balewa, Sadauna of sokoto even Akamu Ibiam. These sets of politicians were erudite not like fraudsters we are having around now.
Our hero.. Persons like you need to be found in heaven on the last day, you really fought a good fight, but the powers that be made a mess of the effort, however, Biafra must still come and we'll laugh best cause we're laughing last. Grandpa of Biafra.. All hail Biafra All hail Nnamdi Kanu.
despites igbos being marginalized, God stil blesses us till today.RIP Eze igbo, if wasnt for the war, we would have been wiped out by yorubas and hausas but God used u to command respect on igbos.BIAFRA 4 LIFE!
