Error of Gvernor General
There is a slight error as to the Governor general of Nigeria in 1957. By all available research, James robertson was the Governor of nigeria at the time that Ojukwu had entered the army in 1957, not John Macpherson as mentioned by Mr Forsyth. Macpherson had been gobne for 2 years before ojukwu entered the army  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.235.48 (talk) 00:55, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: *That the subject is dead has no correlation with maintenance templates. You provided one or two citations, but the article is still heavily populated with "Citation needed" tags, and there are even whole paragraphs and sections with no single reference. How have you solved the problem? Also, the article is filled with several unneutral and unbalanced viewpoints that need to be solved. Get yourself familiar with Wikipedia's Guidelines, and you would easily see that the issues raised by the templates are still very much present.

Ojukwu cannot be called a General because he was fired from the army.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoldello (talk • contribs) 15:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

The article is too cluttered with images. Perhaps we should remove some? Everyking 08:33, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: Since the person is best known by the name Emeka Ojukwu, the article should be moved there. The lead sentence acknowledges that he is best known by this name. Snocrates 09:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking through the alternatives in language box in the side bar, it looks like similar confusion prevails in many other Wikipedias, as to which name is optimal.  Just running some searches in Google Books, it looks like Emeka Ojukwu is by far the most common English-language name.  I support the change.  DBaba (talk) 20:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah actually maybe it's not as clearcut as I thought.  A google search for Ojukwu lists his publications as being authored by "Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu".  So the name may be correct as it stands...  DBaba (talk) 20:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

text: His name seems to be appearing in the media lately as it stands.  I suggest keeping it as is. DBaba (talk) 00:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: There is substantial interest in Nigeria on his health and this interest could potentially be international as well.
Can we refrain from arbitrarily editing this page on rumours of death even if this rumour is reported in less credible newspapers.
A better approach would be to add a "current event tag" and then confirm any change in his health once this change is widely accepted and reported in respected newspapers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akinsope (talk • contribs) 08:24, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: On what authority is it being reported in the main article that Ojukwu has died on August 10, 2011? Ojukwu's death would be a media event at least in Nigeria, if not internationally, and there is no such media reporting. Therefore that entry should be deleted. People ought to be careful how they report on the death of other persons, especially if evidence is lacking.Merlin1935 (talk) 21:45, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

The article needs to be updated and revised for tenses and also for missing information eg: birthdate, rank etc.Akinsope (talk) 10:17, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Death 

message: Very unbalanced article - reads more like propaganda than history. Colonel Ojukwu's role in igniting and perpetuating the Biafran war is at best controversial. See "The Crisis Caravan" by Linda Polman (Metropolitan Books, NYC, 2010), page 115. Not flattering.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.166.182.254 (talk) 18:46, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  ''died'' resource 

message: The article is heavily slanted towards Ojukwu, sometimes reading as a pamphlet ("Who are the patriots?"). Needs a more balanced and neutral tone.--2.101.145.87 (talk) 08:42, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Neutrality

message: This passage is incoherent and at times almost absurd. What is this about Biafra's development of a "superweapon" and almost reaching the space age? Ridiculous...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.72.139 (talk) 10:55, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: C. Odumegwu Ojukwu →  – This was originally moved to "C. Odumegwu Ojukwu" in 2010, as a user was under the impression that Ojukwu's full name is not often cited. But on looking at the sources, I couldn't find any that shortened his first name to simply "C." Most seemed to use either his full name "Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu" or shortened it to "Emeka Ojukwu". I looked on Google Ngrams and found that these are the two most common cases of his name, with "Emeka Ojukwu" appearing to be the most common name. As such, I propose moving this page to "Emeka Ojukwu", although I would also be in favour of the full name "Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu". Grnrchst (talk) 21:47, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

text: *Do you oppose changing it to "Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu" as well? Because all of the sources you cited refer to him by that name. I can't find many sources at all that shorten his first name to "C.", so I still don't understand the argument for retaining the current title. -- Grnrchst (talk) 17:28, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

text: * As per above, I also support moving to "Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu". --Grnrchst (talk) 20:49, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
