Nigeria’s wartime leader, Gen Yakubu Gowon, says
“Nigeria is better off with Igbos.” He spoke while
delivering an oration at the burial service for Chief
(Mrs.) Chinyere Asika, wife of the former Sole
Administrator of East Central State; just as the
governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano,
described the deceased as a woman who exemplified the virtue of patience, charity and humility. The service took place at the All Saints Anglican Cathedral, Onitsha, Anambra State.

Gowon’s declaration was borne out of a deep
appreciation of the commitment and sacrifice of the
deceased and her husband, Ajie Ukpabi Asika, to the survival of Nigeria as one entity. The former Head of State recalled that when he proposed the post of Sole Administrator of East Central State, Asika told me, “I prefer to do this for the good of Igbo people.”

He went on: “I was struggling to get an administrator for the newly created East Central State when the name of the late Ukpabi Asika came up. He was then a lecturer at Ibadan. When we met, I did not know which one of us was younger. But he exuded strength of character and understanding, and wanted to start work immediately. I cautioned him to think about it. I told him, `you must consult your brothers, and your wife to know if you would accept’. I came away convinced that this was the man I needed.

“I did not know how to place his wife, Chinyere, but
when she arrived from Kenya, she plunged head-on
into the idea. She was a courageous woman, caring
and humble. I remember her efforts in “Otu Olu
Obodo”- a public service initiative which she used as a tool of empowerment for her Igbo kinsmen and women.”

Obiano told the children and the Asika family to
imbibe the virtues of patience, charity and humility
from Mrs Asika, while urging the congregation and
Ndi Anambra to remember “her good deeds and
pray for the repose of her soul.”

The service was attended by many prominent
personalities including a former Minister of Defence, Gen T.Y. Danjuma, who represented President Muhammadu Buhari.

Guy no kill me with laughter. You mean he mistook otapiapia for ogogoro. chei!!

INTROVERT:

Definitely

Obviously one nigeria idea has been a failure. Deliberate failure by the just few people.

There is nothing to be proud so far about this 54 years old country with less than 4 MW of electricity and other infrastructure down.

His people are presently reaping the juicy fruit of one Nigeria from the kind gesture and aesthetic behaviour of fulani herdsmen. Guess what..? Your people are next just as the north are being blessed by BH. Be rest assured that all of u must experience, even far worst, what we passed through from 1966-1970.
YOU BASTARD, SON OF A LovePeddler.

At least he was honest to accept dat Nigeria nids igbos more, unlike Yoruba ppl who claim igbos r irrelevant but cnt explain why dia kinsmen followed biafrans up to owerri to beg them to return to nigeria
