Andre Uweh:

This is a welcomed idea. The entire old eastern region governors should do it at a go. When Ojukwu was made a governor, it was governor of the eastern region.

Onlytruth:

Ojukwu's death is a huge opportunity for Nigeria to fix the past and secure the future, but I doubt that Nigeria is capable of higher thinking. Self deceit and delusion of having captured the East is what would likely prevail.
It appears that Ojukwu prevailed on MASSOB to remain non-violent.
Now that he is no more, frankly anything can happen.

The Nigerian authorities has all the powers to re-lay the foundations of Nigeria.
Igbo marginalization cannot continue under any guise.
Nuff said.

Onlytruth:

His words: “We know what is happening in Nigeria, that those who the government listens to are those who carry arms; there is something I will tell you that you don’t even know; the position of MASSOB being non-violence has been sustained by Ojukwu; he has always insisted that we must remain non-violent. But not many people know this; whenever there seems to be problems, he would call and warn me to make sure I did not depart from non-violence.”

Beaf:

Several places of massive importance to the country need to be named after Ojukwu. There also needs to be some sort of foundation thats fundamental to the development of the country in his honour.

There is nothing wrong with it.

  . .  .And why is that? You must be joking. It's only in Nigeria were such things happen, whether his fight was just or not, a secessionist cannot be a national hero not to talk of a multiethnic country like Nigeria. Why aren't "several places of massive importance" named after Okotie-eboh or Ken wiwa or Akintola, even Fajuyi?

noblezone:

The only thing I will call an "honour" for Ojukwu is the convocation of a National conference where we can sit down and negotaite Nigeria.

The "born to rules" and the "Jihadirsts" might double their energies in the quests, now that Ojukwu is gone.

A stich in time saves nine.

Let charity begin at home. Important streets and monements should the named after hm in the old eastern states. A foundaton should also be created in his name.

I wouldn't even be comfortable with any attempts to make Ojukwu a Nigerian hero. He was a BIAFRAN hero. Cool
You can name your Nigerian places after Nigerians.
Ojukwu's monument should be somewhere in Enugu, Owerri, Umuahia( all past Biafran capital cities), or Nnewi(his home town). Cool
We can also build his monuments in all parts of Igboland and the East (if non-Igbos want that). Nothing more nothing less.

Kay 17:

Ojukwu is just another African bloodsucker. Our leaders who are praising him are confused and misguided, and show the lack of direction in this country

Onlytruth:

I believe that is why Uwazuruike talked about non-violence principle which he said was Ojukwu's idea. Now that he is dead, MASSOB is no longer beholden to anyone. The greatest mistake of jihadists would be to try something funny in the immediate future hoping to cash in on Ojukwu's absence. I believe that is when a new Ikemba would emerge.

[s]it is really a big shame that people are trying to amke someone who brough untold hardship to the majority of nigerians in terms of loss of lives a hero? how do you justify the war? if you want a monument for ojukwu why not establish it in all the states while he was alive ( even now would be ok)[/s] saying pple should mourn for 7 days and not do about their business is just crap. ojukwu was not a nigerian hero, he was an igboland hero. [s]as far as the bigger picture is concerned he was a disaster to the nation.[/s]
