Baba ikenne, one of our greatest hero in Nigeria

But Awolowo will never rise to the level of ,or even overshadow Ojukwu as he's too junior to him.Never ever coz Ojukwu was 50times the man Awolowo was.

[quote author=kallmemrB post=33392870] Even Zik was a dumb ruler compare to achievement of Awolowo.....

its pretty easy to know the igbos with their nonsensical comments to a sensible post...if u want someone to scream at or curse at,pls locate ojukwu family cos the man singlehandedly misled the whole igbo race [/quote

Keep quite there; what do you know? You think because you can afford 3square meal a day, and that's it? I am not igbo but you People and Hausas are the problem we have in this country; Even to the streets; yoruba man can betrayl you openly..

During the funeral of Stella Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Anthony Anini confessed that the last time Nigerians gathered in a state burial was in 1987, during the funeral of Awolowo.
It's appaling that some people claim that Awolowo took his life when, according to them, he was close to being caught by Babangida whom he wanted to oust through a coup. Was it not the same Babangida that name the University of Ife after him?

You must be under-20 yrs old or something to compare the unprecedented passion, the pomp, the grief, and pageantry that greeted Awo's burial to Ojukwu's. Go and ask your elders so they can enlighten you on that.

sorry zip doesn't have dealings with such people, he was betrayed by jakande, for planning a coup against IBRAHIM BADAMOSI BABANGIDA, and that's "TREASON" when I bought sent for him he decided to do the needful instead of facing trial, disgrace and jail.

I hardly delve into tribal wars......I used to have the deepest respect for Awo. ..not anymore. He actually never had a genuine ONE NIGERIA at heart. . ...he's a hero to his people. ..no doubt....

I know my heroes; he's NOT one of them!

Ojukwu, Ken, Adaka Boro. ...These are some of them......Ojukwu remains the great hero anyday, anytime!

Had my people understood his vision and courage, we wouldn't have been holed up in this feudal contraption.

It's a question of time!
