chief Odogwu is the foolish one himself.
You ppl would support anything as long as it's Igbo sha.
Are you telling me that the dude's accusation might be true?
There's not even a chance of probability in this one.

Continue to close your eyes until you eventually turn blind

Thank you!

I just found out that Chief Sunny Odogwu,the Ide Ahaba is a totally different person from this clown Sonny Okogwu.Please let's not confuse the 2.
Odogwu is a well respected multi millionaire and a philantropist in his 70's,the owner of Grand hotel in Asaba and a a man who has proven himself in the world of business.He is the holder of several distinguished awards and merited honors both at home and abroad and is well loved by all Asaba indigenes and Igbos at large.

Sunny Okogwu is a tout.
His only claim to fame is being Ndidi Okogwu's brother Ndidi Okogwu went on to become Maryam Babangida and the Okogwu of an slowpoke was a beneficiary of the stolen Nigerian money by the IBB regime.
Please let's make that distinction and not drag Sunny Odogwu's good name through the mud

@farotika

If anybody should be given a trophy for exhibiting crass ignorance over Chief Sunny Okogwu’s melancholic interview, I guess you are certainly the frontrunner. Talking of flogging, you really needed to be laid out.

There is no smoke with fire. So the high decibels of your noise can not change the history of Nigeria which instigated that most families in Ogun State as well as Lagos State were settlers who arrived from Sierra Leon as freed slaves. Most of these families, without doubts, became very prominent when certain portion of Africa was declared independent state of Nigeria. Indulge yourself with figuring it out. 

I can not stoop to your level of advancement which has been checkered with flawed sense of idiocy. Please pal, I urge you to get educated instead of mouthing off like a deranged zebra.

[/quote]I think ignorance should be beaten out of you and your sorry "Sony" for claiming to know what u don’t have knowledge of. I wonder how this so-called chief will interpret his name 'Sunny Odogwu',  Maybe "Sunny" means he comes from the Sun or Odo-gwu" could mean that he's a product of "odo" i.e. 'pestle and mortar'.

Mind you, both Soyinka and Obasanjo have deep Yoruba meaning. So, the man should ask question not make useless comments.[quote]

Sunny Odogwu is senile if I may add. Old age is disturbing him.

The sun likes using catchy captions.The actual aim was for us to mistaken the name 'OKOGWU' for 'ODOGWU' and buy the paper.unfortunately Chief Odogwu cannot sue them.

This Okogwu thing is just struggling for cheap relevance, A symptom apparent in someone suffering from Mouth Diarrhea.

I can't believe this, I mean tis hard to believe an elderly man can talk arrant nonsense as this. shocked shocked shocked

A proverb says, because of what we'll eat, we refuse to be wise. I feel pity for this man really. How many
of such ''elders'' in quote are worth the respect of the younger generations? Becos african culture says wisdom
comes with age but that is faulted with this kind of interview and so many experiences of life with so called
older guys.

Sorry Sonny

Sorry folks, but there are some truth in what Sunny Okogwu said.
The one I'm sure of was Kutis who were not Nigerians but returned slave settlers.
Re: Wole Soyinka is not a Nigerian ? by agbotaen: 8:12pm On Nov 22, 2011
sunny odogwu is not an ika man ,he is an aniocha man from asaba, and ika people are agbor , igbanke, owa and their brothers in ika south /north/ orhiowon local govt. outside this ,the person is not an ika person, so please get your fact well before writing.
