**grins** Do you know his status? Have you killed him against court orders? If you have please let us know so that we help you redefine this dan fodio estate asap. No time **grins**

guardsman:


Go & read Nigerian history. When Ojukwu was pardoned by Shagari, he returned back to Nigeria & joined d NPN. PMB jailed Ojukwu, a stalwart of d discredited & unbelievably corrupt NPN along wit his corrupt peers.

Ozid:
So Buhari arrested Ojukwu during his era as a military head of state. Seriously Buhari really stepped on many toes during his tym as a military head of state. I can see the perceived hatred for him by the Igbos. God pls save PMB as he will step on many toes for him to set the path right for Nigeria. AMIN!!!

ehissi:


What an excellent educator you have been; remind me again, what Ojukwu's role was in Shagari's government!!??

At least if you read my commentary, very very well, what I said was

"For crying out loud, Ojukwu wasn't even part of the government that Buhari outstaged in a coup"

Abi??

EternalTruths:


Good response

The same hate for Igbos is what drives him against Kanu today

Imagine arresting Ojukwu who was never part of the government.

ehissi:


What are you talking about? Right path?

For crying out loud, Ojukwu wasn't even part of the government that Buhari outstaged in a coup - which was Shagari's government by the way - so what formed the basis of Ojukwu's arrest?? Corruption??

When you undertake a wholistic study of Nigeria's political history; you will find yourself a better commentator on Nairaland!!

Eintelekt:
..and this is clearly not the lowest this OP can go... Ojukwu's mum appeals to BUBU as what? Supreme Commander or Head of State? Have you ever read anywhere that Ojukwu was imprisoned?

Buy sense please. It's on Jumia.

In February 1984, one of those clamped in jail by the Buhari military administration was Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. This cartoon of that era depicts the mood of that moment over the matter.

Ojukwu was an NPN senator in 1983 under the old Anambra State but buhari had him released earlier than most at the time. Some of us still remember these events.

This buhari is a phenomenal strict personality.

Shattap Please!
Ojukwu was a Civilian Governor/Senator of the federal Republic under that Shagari regime.
Most Politicians in that setting, having been compromised and very corrupt, got "reset" by Buhari, when he took over....including Ojukwu!

But the corrupt politicians "fought back" gallantly, using IBB to truncate Buhari's regime which was setting Nigeria back on the right path.

Come to 2015, Buhari is doing the same thing and l worry that the looters and corrupt politicians are fighting back and would do everything to make sure they frustrate Buhari's Govt.

But POWER lies with the masses.
Will we Nigerian masses, let-down this Govt or will we rise above ethnic and tribal/religious divide, t lay a good foundation for our future?
The decision lies with each one of us.

After 13 years in exile, the Federal Government of Nigeria under President Shehu Aliyu Usman Shagari granted an official pardon to Odumegwu-Ojukwu and opened the road for a triumphant return in 1982. The people of Nnewi gave him the now very famous chieftaincy title of Ikemba (Strength of the Nation, while the entire Igbo nation took to calling him Dikedioramma ("beloved hero of the masses" during his living arrangement in his family home in Nnewi, Anambra. His foray into politics was disappointing to many, who wanted him to stay above the fray. The ruling party, NPN, rigged him out of the senate seat, which was purportedly lost to a relatively little known state commissioner in then Governor Jim Nwobodo's cabinet called Dr. Edwin Onwudiwe. The second Republic was truncated on 31 December 1983 by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, supported by General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and Brigadier Sani Abacha. The junta proceeded to arrest and to keep Ojukwu in Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison, Lagos, alongside most prominent politicians of that era. Having never been charged with any crimes, he was unconditionally released from detention on 1 October 1984, alongside 249 other politicians of that era—former Ministers Adamu Ciroma and Maitama Sule were also on that batch of released politicians. In ordering his release, the Head of State, General Buhari said inter alia: "While we will not hesitate to send those found with cases to answer before the special military tribunal, no person will be kept in detention a-day longer than necessary if investigations have not so far incriminated him." (WEST AFRICA, 8 October 1984)

So, even HISTORY CONFIRMS that President M. Buhari is a man whose words can be "banked upon"!

Buhari may not be perfect (and l am yet to see any human or Nigerian for that matter, whose is anywhere near perfection!) but he has the moral advantage of not being a LOOTER or an abettor of Looters.

Nigerians will stay solidly behind him, while he injects some sanity into the system.
The next Government can probe his own Govt and jail him, if he is found to be corrupt.
Until then, even #Wailers should "receive sense"

@ehissi : duly noted. Ojukwu was just part of the over two hundred "Politicians" rounded up after the overthrow.... and he was promptly released when found to be "clean". He was not singled-out as most people are trying to portray!
Thank you.
