And the man they call ONAKAKANFO of yoruba AKA ABIOLA,why then did he run of to a  very far away america when there was no even war in the country only because his yoruba oil money loving bunch couldn't protect him against only one man ibrahim babangida and not even the entire country.  ABIOLA de KING DINOSAUR ran off after his best friend BABANGIDA refused to accept the result of the election the KING DINOSAUR supposed to have won, only to inundate ABACHA with congratulatory messages and letters when he heard that ABACHA has taken over the govt and begging ABACHA to please allow him KING DINOSAUR to return back from exile to nigeria,reminding ABACHA that him KD ABIOLA is his brother in islam and that a fellow muslim should not be allowed to perish in exile.  Did ABACHA not ask ABIOLA "was i the one who chased you away in the first place" the KING DINOSAUR even promised not to ever talk about his mandate should he be allowed back and be assured not be beaten up with koboko,he was then asked to come back and he came back and even listed 6 yorubas to be appointed as ministers to serve under ABACHA. Did we all not see how the yorubas were making mockery of ABIOLA, shouting go take your mandate orderwise he ABIOLA should be seen as a joke,and this was because the were hoping for a juicier position in the oil companies,and what happened when ABACHA and his yoruba servant boy the crying general OLADIPO DIYA arrested the KING DINOSAUR,did they many of them who were mouthing all over the place not run away not only out of nigeria but far away whiteman country? One would be expecting that since ABACHA died after even imprisoning his partner in crime ABIOLA'S kinsman the "GENERAL" OLADIPO DIYA, that the northerners would free their yoruba muslim brother as many of them sing it, but we all know how his so called "muslim brothers" murdered him,and what happened after ward? the same yoruba monarchs who also contributed in making mockery of his chieftains title "ONAKAKANFO"whatever that means,same KING DINOSAUR monarchs went from behind collected money for ABIOLA'S murder guess what case closed.Now, you shameless dinosaur descendants should first of all take care of your own business before diving into others, that is called foolishness because in every false claim which you make about ndi igbo, follows by tens of real and proven claims about your yoruba tribe which the whole world is aware of keep yapping it's in your dna though. I REST MY CASE.

In conclusion the Ibos can only thrive in an environment where perpectual anarchy exist.
Should Biafra return, guerilla war will eat it up! PYE, PYE OOO

Andyforte: Nonsense speech. Ojukwu was all u said and more. We didn't have to hear it from u. These APC ppl are so deceptive. All his life no single one of u spoke his achievements until he was 6 foot under. After u repatriated the souls he fought for n allowed that moronic FFK to go on his stupid rampage.

Did u reinstate and compensate the ibos u repatriated to the east? Or do u want us to setlle for cheap apologies?

Former Lagos State Governor Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday said the late Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu was forced by circumstances to defend his people.

Tinubu, who spoke at a funeral  for the former Biafran  leader in Lagos, said besides the three founding fathers of Nigeria- Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ahmadu Bello- no other Nigerian has altered the course of history than Ojukwu.

He said: “After the contributions of our great nationalists such as Nnamdi Azikwe, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Sir Ahmadu Bello, no single Nigerian has altered the course of Nigeria’s history as the late Ikemba Ojukwu. He was forced by the circumstance of history to defend his people when he believed they faced physical and political annihilation. His reasons were clear to his people and his voice and strong determination reverberated across Nigeria. Ultimately, he altered the course of Nigerian political history in profound ways.”
Tinubu said though the late Ojukwu meant different things to different people, there was no doubt that he cemented his place in history by dint of hard work and commitment.

He said: “Ojukwu was truly a product of the flawed attempt to be a good Nigerian without first being good Igbo man, Hausa woman or Yoruba child. It makes more pragmatic sense to build Nigerian patriotism on those common values and virtues that are not in any way against the values of Nigerian patriotism.  If Ojukwu is viewed from that new prism, it would be clear that he was both a worthy Igboman as well as a worthy Nigerian.”

Quoting the words of Robert Green Ingersoll at this brother’s grave, Asiwaju Tinubu said of Ojukwu and his differing perceptions: “This brave and tender man in every storm of life was oak and rock, but in the sunshine he was vine and flower.  He was a friend of all heroic souls.”

The former governor of Lagos said Ojukwu was a man of courage who made his voice heard no matter what.

He added: “Ojukwu carried on, no matter the situation.  His voice was never drowned or silenced on the issues that mattered to him, even in the face of adversity.

“He was rather defined by Igbo nationalism, if not irredentism.  But given the turn of events in Nigeria, with its continuous crisis of nationhood and identity, neither Igbo nationalism nor Igbo irredentism would appear illegitimate.

“His exploits both on the battle and political fields portray him as a restless soul, constantly engaged with the processes aimed at birthing an egalitarian society. He was a man with a most powerful narrative. An essential Nigerian story, with a career compelling in several respects. Ikemba Nnewi was a brave soldier and great thinker!
“Here was a man born with a silver spoon into the luxury of a high pedestal; given the best education of his time and had the world at his feet, but chose the road less travelled. He immersed himself in the service of the people. A man of scholastic brilliance from Oxford, Ojukwu chose to serve in the Nigerian military. He will be remembered as a fine officer and a gentleman.

“ Here was a man who was in step with the passion for his people and love for country. Today we say goodbye to someone who rode several storms of life and was never consumed except by the cold hands of death. The words of Robert Green Ingersoll at his brother’s grave are here appropriate, “This brave and tender man in every storm of life was oak and rock, but in the sunshine he was vine and flower. He was the friend of all heroic souls. He climbed the heights and left all superstitions far below, while on his forehead fell the golden dawning of the grander day”. Ojukwu carried on, no matter the situation. His voice was never drowned or silenced on the issues that matter to him even in the face of adversity. A General’s delight, Ojukwu was courageous and smart enough to know when to compromise, when to negotiate and when to silence the guns and exit. For the sake of his people he entered politics. His foray into politics, which though often controversial, was in tune with the spirit of Nigeria’s multi-party democracy.

”Indeed, the life and times of Ojukwu, in a way, is a metaphor for Nigeria’s unfulfilled nationhood.  No matter how Ojukwu tried, history would remember him as an iconic Ndigbo than it would as an iconic Nigerian – and it is doubtful if history would remember any member of his generation for iconic ‘Nigerianness’; or even any from this present generation.

”We all have shortcomings and Ojukwu was no different. Despite Ojukwu’s personal short-comings which by the way cannot be glossed over, he was indeed a great man. His life and travails revealed a nation constantly at war with its constituent parts.  Ojukwu is truly a product of the flawed attempt to be a good Nigerian without first being good Igboman, Hausa woman or Yoruba child.”

Dereformer:


Ikemba is the GREATEST Igboman and SUPREME leader of all times.

No human being born of a woman right from creation received the kind of burial My Ikemba received.

He was well honored by his friends and foes. By Briafrans and Nigerian alike.

Adieu. MY Hero and my brave warrior.

What you saw sitting down, others couldn't see even on top of an iroko tree.

pathetic people.

EkoIle1:


Actually, I think Asiwaju was gassing these ibo folks. See as den sidon like mumu. I bet the only thing they were thinking about was isi ewu, apku and pami back in their villages,  they care less about ojuku,


See as Lagos state put the whole event together in little or not time just to help these incompetent AGIPA clowns.

Even committee den set up to organize funeral for ojuku na wahala and incompetency, na so so cona cona, backstabbing and scheming to pocket money,


Anyway, I'm happy Fashola and Asiwaju showed you how to do things and how to show respect to your village heroes, take that back to your villages as lesson learned.


Suxxs to be AGIPA for real
