Yourbas still haven't answered my question: Major Gen.Aguiyi Ironsi was exectued in a merciless coup along side Lt conel Fajuyi now let's not forget the hausas staged a counter coup because corrupt Ahmahdu Bello and Tafawa belewa were killed and not because of the interest of the first republic. WHAT DID THE YORUBAS DO? ANS: Nothing!

Gown took over forcefully when Bridagier Ogundikpe was meant to take over WHAT DID THE YORUBAS DO? Ans: Betray the Igbo people (Awolowo). WHAT DID THE IGBOS DO? Ans: Fight! Just a question.

Dhelake: yes , ojukwu didnt lose any dime ... Buh d silly ibo nation lost many lifez

berem: this topic is not suppose to make the front page.the poster knows that people will definitely throw insults on ojukwu.U know very well that Ojukwu's face can never be on a naira note so why bring the topic in the first place.if we igbos want to honour Ojukwu we will do it in igbo land where he will be greatly honoured.a yoruba or hausa man can never honour Ojukwu cos he means nothing to them.so celebrating Ojukwu as a national hero is a waste of time.and those insulting Ojukwu I guess you dunno what it takes to be a biafran hero.

Toktee: The face of a war criminal on nigerian currency,dat means osama bin ladin and charles taylor wil soon be on the currency

collins123: @OP how does this affect the price of Garri for *obalende*?

Olayexy: If you guys want it or not,the new 5000note will be distrubed to the nation,and when people started spending the money,you may just keep watching them.

onye ego: There must be something about d MAN OJUKWU, anytime his name is mentioned some people poo in their pant

garba: does treason make one a hero? How can the biggest traitor in our history be honoured as such...? This is absurd

Dhelake: i luv ur post buh ur last sentence is funny ... We all knw wat it takes to be a biafran hero ... By wastin d lifes of fellow biafrans?

musty1987: ojukwu was nt a Nigerian, he was a biafran. honesty that ape looking guy can never b on naija note.

Why The Choice Of Faces On The N5000 Inflationary Note And Not Ojukwu


I don't support that N5000 note one bit. It's illogical. There was basically no reason for it and it was not done to improve the economy, just for some selfish reasons by mallam. However if the government must have its way, why wasn't ojukwu honored with that. Why would people like Murtala Muhammed and Awolowo have their corny faces on the Naira note and not Ojukwu. Am yet to know the relevance of the women proposed and their popularity in Nigeria. Also, I think the National Assembly should have powers to debate issues like this before it is implemented. CBN is not a private organization. I rest my case

davidif:

WOW!!! What stupid reasoning! maybe we are not violent warmongers like you who cannot solve conflict with dialogue and reasoning but always thinking about fighting and you wonder why some people in the rest of the world watch the fighting in Africa on CNN and BBC and call Africans savages who have not evolved. Ask all the igbo people who lost family and loved ones in a war that they lost (and a war that could have been avoided) if all that sacrifice was worth it.
Boy, i hate it when people like playing the victim and complaining that other people are not having enough sympathy for there people, (oh, woe is me, look what my people have suffered, look what happened to my ancestors before i was born, blah, blah, blah)

chipmunkey: Op doesn`t support the so called inflationary Note yet he would have been pleased to have Ojukwu`s face on it. What a hypocrate!

ichidodo: lives necessary for d present igbo generation to survive,thrive and take over your economic rights. We would gladly sacrifice our lives for d survival of our children unlike your tribe of gbomo-gbomo,paedophiles and cowards.

berem: whenever there is a war,there must be casualties.if u think he wasted life of biafrans we igbos don't see it that way. Ojukwu fought to liberate the sufferings of the igbos and we will ever be grateful for that.we don't need nigeria to honour him.we igbos will honour him cos he is a biafran hero.

ichidodo: lol. look at this yiriba monkey excusin his tribe's cowardice for dialogue and reasonin. una tink say na una get dialogue and reasonin 4 una domot abi? tell that to the ifes and modakekes. tell that to d agberos in all towns of south-western Nigeria especially ibadan. Oya cum make we dialogue and reason while we take over eko. Eediot.

ibnjarir: . After wasting so many lives he was not referred 2 as a terrorist rather a biafran hero(not national shall).May be the english definition of a terrorist has changed overnight.

Spidyy: Yes it will be meaningless and disrespectful because the Late Dim Ojukwu (R.I.P) fought for Biafra, he fought for the Igbo people (Biafrans) not "Nigerians" thus putting his face on that 5000 naira note will definately not be acceptable we don't want his face on any Nigerian currency but we want Biafra and his face on all notes if possible.
20 naira and 10 coins? All I can do is Hahahahahaha. Oh well atleast it will be better than that condom wrap thing called 20 naira and 10 naira notes.
