My fellow Anambrarians, Visitors and residents in Anambra, please lets make this thread lively by sending images,video links and live updates of happenings at Alex Ekwueme square, government house, Nnewi and other parts of the state, "Okwa mgbosi mmadu kwara mmadu k'okwara onwe ya" , thanks

I've been begging for the same for the past few days now and it seem like our ppl don't want to share

Awka the capital city is wearing a brand new look. I passed through Alex Ekwueme Square all through to Fed. and State Secretariats complex everywhere is wearing a new look amid tight security with combine team of Airforce, Soldiers and Police. I can still see Helicopters hovering all over the city. The venue of the event Alex Ekwueme Square is now a Capitol of a sort with beautiful outlook to witness the highest gathering of the world.

Does anyone know if AIT will be covering the Enugu ceremony today and the time. Thank you.

chino nwanne m nwoke, biko feed us pictures and commentaries, daalu

One Igbo petty trader in front of my office was asked by a fellow Igbo woman why he opened shop today, when all Igbos home and abroad have been directed to close shop today to honour the Late Odimegwu Ojukwu.

His reply: Don't let me hear that name abeg. That man created the war that led to the early death of my daddy which ultimately made me and my siblings not to be educated. As far as I am concerned he doesn't deserve any honour at all!!! If I have my way, I would spit at his corpse 100 times.

Seeing some the SW apologists in Enugu. What are they doing here?

Enugu is live on Ait

Its been broadcasted live from AIT as I write now

They will arrive Awka around 12 noon or 1pm not sure exact time yet, at that time I hope be on hand to take snap shots.

Ebele ojukwu just took the first reading from the book of isaiah and senator Ben Obi(special adviser to the president on inter party affiars)is taking the secon reading now.Dignataries present are the likes of Prof. Wole Soyinka etc

.

I am very proud to hear on BBC as Ojukwu is glowingly addressed as "the late Biafran leader". It is instructive that inspite of several years of pretences to the contrary, the world recognises the existence of the Republic of Biafra. Note the language: "late Biafran leader". Not "late leader of defunct Biafra". These are two different phrases with different connotations. The first phrase, which BBC uses implies a Republic still in existence,while the second phrase, which BBC does not use, refers to a Republic that existed and collapsed after a period of time. Indeed, the world knows that Biafra lives!

That's ogui road, enugu

RIP! MY LORD! Chai, dike annaaaa!

It funny how internet Amego always seems to overstep into other people discussions especially when his made-up chart is all about his/her pet hate.
Just like like a vulture, always present where the favourite meal is available.
Get a life!!

You are a liar

ikemba ojukwu the LORD of the EAST

Why should wole soyinka be escorted by men bearing the symbol of pirate confraternity?are we in a display of confraternity here?

ikemba ojukwu the LORD of the EAST

'LORD of the EAST', am sure that would be a fitting title for any movie from the stable of Nollywood chronicling the interesting aspect of Ojukwu's life and time. Can't wait!

don't mind that governor, always trying to be more English than the English.

It's nice to note that in Port Harcourt and Enugu now, Gov Chibuike has used this Ojukwu's funeral to display to the world of his Igboness. God bless him and Ndigbo.

For those in the U.K, YOU CAN WATCH THE Programme live in AIT on sky 187.
Enjoy viewing.

Make una go sitddon somewhere jooor . . . stop spamming a Nigerian board with the funeral passage of a Defunct Biafran leader . . .

am in Ekwueme square now IN Awka, the whole place is filled up even when Ojukwu's remains have not arrived. this is indeed a great moment in the life and times of Ndigbo gburu gburu. histroy have come to the present. i sincerely wish today was a celebration of the actualized Biafra dream.

anyway, all hope is not lost. someday, somehow what will be will be.

it is not over untill it is over.

RIP DIM COO
