i have said this, Nigerian end time in near

What is even a State burial by the way? Can somebody tell me what a State burial is? Is it the way the body of Umaru Yaradua & Abacha were wrapped with Nigerian flag, is that the meaning?

For people like Bluetooth who are always looking for any slightest opportunity to show their hatred for the Igbos, you have completely failed. I remember when Ojukwu was sick, it was Bluetooth and his cronies were carrying rumour that Ojukwu has been abandoned by the Igbos and that nobody cares for him, there is no money this and that to pay for his hospital bills in Uk. As I write this, I know they are not happy the way Ojukwu is accorded all the respect he deserves from every part of the country and the world at large.

I even observed it, Bluetooth has refused to even address Ojukwu's name properly thats why he goes about calling him Oji-uku or whatever, but I must tell you that no Yoruba man dead or alive will receive the kind of respect Ojukwu will receive during his burial.

Check history of u people's greatest man, Awolowo and how he died, his family didn't know he was dead in his house after some days or so, check your Abiola and probably we will be alive when your Obasanjo time will reach and see what happens.

Tribalism at best brings the worst in people and thats what is happening here

Who cares Bleep them and their stupid state burial.

wrap his coffin in the Biafran flag  

nigeria is coming to an end

ACCORDING THE LAW STATE BURIAL IS FOR THE EX PRESIDENT'S AND FORMER HEAD OF STATES.LIKEWISE AWOLOWO DID NOT RECEIVE STATE BURIAL AS WELL.

IN OTHER WARDS OJUKWU HIMSELF WILL NOT FORGIVE THE IGBO'S IF THEY ALLOW HIS BODY TO BE BURIED BY THE NIGERIANS. YESTERDAY ISRAELI'S NEWS PAPER STATED IN HEBREW A COURAGEOUS BRAVE MAN OF AFRICA IS GONE THEY WENT ON TO DESCRIBE OJUKWU AS THEIR AFRICA SON,IN CONCLUSION THEY SEND A CONDOLENCE MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF ANAMBRA AND OLD EASTERN REGION AS A WHOLE ASSURING THAT THEY ARE MOURNING WITH THEM,THE NEWS WENT ON TO SAY THAT AFRICA WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT PLANET ONLY IF BIAFRA WAS ACTUALIZED.

IF COUNTRY LIKE ISRAEL CAN ISSUE THIS TYPE OF STATEMENT I WONDER WHAT ELSE WOULD PLEASE OJUKWU IS IT NIGERIA STATE BURIAL ?

this is the best comment i ever read in this site, Israeli is our people, they supported BIAFRA and they will again when time comes, IKEMBA such a powerful man
I never wanted anything Nigeria around ikemba, he will be wrap in biafran flag we don't want that stinking name Nigeria around him and that how it should be .

How many people have died in Nigeria and the Senate devoted an entire session to honour them, or agreed to send a high powered delegation, or urged the federal goverment to name a prominent place after them? What a great honour and respect for a man who was not a federal legislature or executive, who made his impact felt in the Nation. A point to note, there are laid down rules for a state burial, the senate made the laws and cannot be seen bending the law.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Senate stood still on Thursday as it devoted the entire session to honour the late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. The Senate resolved to observe a minute silence in honour of the deceased; just as it also agreed to send a high powered delegation to commiserate with Ojukwu’s family, the people and Government of Anambra State.The upper chamber also urged the Federal Government to immortalize late Ojukwu by naming a prominent establishment after him.
The opposition of a state funeral was hinged on the argument that Ojukwu did not fall under the category of those who should be so honoured.

what a sensible post. This sums up a lot in the minds of people. Can you assist with a link to the Israeli paper??

BREAKING NEWS---Some mad men escaped from National Psychiatric Hospital, they made away with Laptops and have found their way into Nairaland, our own facebook.  Some of their postings can easly be identified. Be warned.

I don't think Ojukwu will even want a state burial. By the way who asked for a state burial?

jerseyboy:

NO NIGERIAN LIVING OR DEAD DESERVE A STATE BURIAL

confirmed

HERE IS THE LINK. THOUGH IT'S IN HEBREW  http://www.haaretz.co.il/

I HAVE LIVE IN ISRAEL ALL MY LIFE AND I KNOW WHAT BIAFRA ISSUE MEAN FOR THE ISRAELI'S.

1995 TO 1998 ISRAELI GOVERNMENT APPROVED THAT ALL BIAFRANS IS ENTITLE FOR A RESIDENT AND PERMANENT WORKING PERMIT BUT IGBO'S ABUSED THE OPPORTUNITY BY TEACHING YERUBA'S AND OTHER TRIBES OF NIGERIANS IGBO LANGUAGE BECAUSE YOU MUST UNDER GO INTERVIEW BY ISRAELI GOVERNMENT IN THE INTERVIEW ALL QUESTION AND ANSWERS IS CONDUCTED IN IGBO LANGUAGE AS TO BE SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT FROM OTHER TRIBE OF NIGERIA,WHEN ISRAELI GOVERNMENT FOUND OUT THE GAMES IGBO'S ARE PLAYING WITH THEIR FELLOW NIGERIANS BY TEACHING OTHERS WHO ARE NOT ORIGINAL BIAFRANS THE IGBO LANGUAGE THAT LEAD TO  THE CANCELLATION OF THE WORKING PERMIT AND MASSIVE DEPORTATION OF MANY NIGERIANS FROM ISRAEL IN 1998 BE YOU A WORKING PERMIT HOLDER OR A RESIDENT PERMIT HOLDER THEY WILL TOOK IT AND SEND YOU TO THE DEPORTATION CAMP.BECAUSE OF THAT EVENT TILL DATE ALL NIGERIANS IN ISRAEL ARE LIVING ILLEGALS EXCEPT FEW OF US WHO SCHOOLED AND MARRIED THERE ARE FREE.
IGBO'S WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN THIS FAVOR THEN THROUGH A LADY CALL MARIANA A RUSSIAN JEWISH WHO MARRIED TO AN INTELLECTUAL IGBO BUSINESS MAN NAME LINUS BASED IN ISREAL.THE WOMAN IS ONE OF THE NOTABLE HUMAN RIGHT ACTIVIST IN ISRAEL.

Before now i use to feel bad about my lack of "proper" education but not anymore because when i read or hear the so called EDUCATED individual speak i wonder what exactly education do to some of them, even though i dont subscribe to the state burial bull-shit because of it hypocritical nature i cant but ask those attention seekers who really deserves a state burial in Nigeria of today? maybe tomorrow if Buhari and IBB dies then the same people who opposed Ojukwu state burial will recommend one for them because the Nigeria constitution recognize coup plotters and chronic treasure looters. for Nigeria

A Nigerian state burial wud mean he is a Nigerian and also validate de comment made by gowon that Ojukwu died a nigerian, when we all know he is a proud Biafran.There is no gain saying that you are a wise, brillant, intelligent, strong, blessed, favoured and great man. Rest in Peace my president.

PHUCK State burial! These anti-Biafrans should not put their filthy hands on Ojukwu's coffin.

Giving Ojukwu a state burial wud mean dat he is a Nigerian and also validate gowon comment that Ojukwu died a Nigerian when we all know dat he is a proud Biafran.

If the Government decides 2 give Ojukwu state burial, well that is their headach. I only wish they will sit down & address the issues & problems facing this country. Ojukwu's death should provide an avenue 4d President and his Governor's to re visit their agenda for Nigeria. He may not have believed in Nigeria, at least he was all honest about it and had his reasons. How many of u believe in Nigeria?

I truely don't know why these tribalists won't let us ( Igbos) be. Even here on Naira Land forum! Must you guys react to any thread concerning the Igbos?! I can't understand this level of Hatred you people have towards the Igbo race. Sometimes I wonder the role of the moderator on this. Some characters on this forum need to be banned from this forum. I am not naming names, 'cos I don't want to be insulted by any low lifer. What you people very much fail to realise is that you are actually using this medium to express your gross hatered towards the Igbos, this, you don't know, is capable of heating up the nation. I will suggest we have an 'Igboland forum' where we can discuss our issues and channel our cause. And if any other tribe especially the yorubas venture into this Igbo forum to run foul as they are known for, they should be hunted down and wasted. Am sick of you people!! Can you people please steer clear from issues concerning us!!!

Candidly, it would amount to a disaster if senate had approved a Nigerian state burial for Ojukwu. That will certainly have minimized everything Ojukwu ever represented.

It is still fresh that Chinua Achebe REJECTED a mock honour from the the so called NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT. In his own words "nothing had changed" that made him reject previous honours! For Ojukwu also, nothing had changed from the time he took arms in an attempt to defend his people from obvious hatred and massacre.
