The name Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu rings in the
heart of many nigerians, especially the Igbo race, where he
hails from. Ojukwu, who earned the accolades of the Ikemba
(Strength of the Nation) and Dikedioramma ("beloved hero
of the masses" , was the brave man who spear headed the
fight for the survival and development of the Igbo region,
and the creation of a new republic (BIAFRA). He gave all he
has just to fulfil this mission. He also spent 13 years at the
maximum prison, Kirikiri, for this same cause.
As a committed democrat, every single day under an un-
elected government hurts him. 'The citizens of this country
are mature enough to make their own choices, just as they
have the right to make their own mistakes", Ojukwu quoted.
Ojukwu had played a significant role in Nigeria's return to
democracy since 1999 (the fourth Republic). He had
contested as presidential candidate of his party,


All
Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA) for the last three of the
four elections. Until his illness, he remained the party
leader. The party was in control of two states in and largely
influential amongst the Igbo ethnic area of Nigeria.
The motive behind the creation of APGA is not to fight
for a new soverign state (BIAFRA), but to create a place
for the Igbo politicians in the tribalized political settings
of Nigeria, to see the Igbo politicians at the peak of
national affairs.


The recently concluded Presidential and National Assembly
Election has showed us how the so-called Igbo leaders
betrayed Ojukwu and sold the Igbos birthright for a morsel
of bread. It all started when Gov. Peter Obi was rumoured to
decamp to the PDP just to canvass the Igbo nation to vote
for an Ijaw man, who has no share of their pains during the
Biafran war.
According to Bianca Ojukwu, the wife of the late Ojukwu said
'Obi had made a vow to Ojukwu that he would never deny
the Igbo race by leaving APGA for another party'. Bianca
reminded Obi of his vow to Ojukwu when the rumour
became widespread,but some weeks later, Obi had to move
to PDP for his own selfish federal interest.
The news of his decampment spread accross the nooks and
crannies of Nigeria, as Bianca promised not to have
anything to do with him again, which leads to the
disagreement between both of them. Some weeks later, Obi
was used to penetrate into APGA, so as to adopt the PDP
presidential candidate, President Jonathan. Observations
were raised from different quaters, that APGA should have
presented her own presidential candidate, who would have
been a voice to the Igbo race; since other unpopular parties
like NCP, KOWA, AA could present a candidate. The response
of the national chairman of APGA (also an APGA senatorial
candidate), Chief Victor Umeh ignites criticism from sincere
Igbo men, who are against this disastrous decision.
Umeh said "We have been lampooned and condemned
because we are supporting President Jonathan – let me tell
you quite frankly, until we lead our people on the right track
we are wasting our time, Today there are no Igbos
contesting for president in the APC, so why align with
APC?”
He stated further, “Jonathan has shown respect for the
Igbos even if he has challenges running the affairs of
the country, most of which are man-made.


APGA has no
apologies for supporting President Jonathan – what we offer
is constructive criticism.You must not oppose government
all the time if you are not in government. In developed
countries (opposition parties) means those who are not in
government but are interested in government." My question
to Chief Umeh is, does having your own presidential
candidate means you hate Jonathan and who told you that,


you lead the Igbo people on the right track.
APGA unfortunately adopted a man that has rejected the
Igbos (remember the 2nd niger bridge, the onitsha-enugu
road were promised to the Igbos...its construction only
began during campaign just to earn the Igbo votes...How
many farmers has access to the claimed supply of fertilizer
by the federal goverment under Jonathan administration?
The Omabala region of Anambra State (Oyi, Anambra East,
Anambra West and Ayamelum) where the governor of
Anambra, Willie Obiano, hails from lived without electricity
for many years, which is the same in many neglected rural
area in the Igbo land. Anambra state does not have an
Airport (whether local or international), even when her
daughter, oduah was the minister of Aviation, the claimed
light rail that Jonathan administration lied that they bought
has never been seen anywhere in the east. Some of their
transformation agenda in Agriculture is to supply
machineries to our farmers, Can anyone from the Igbo
region tell me if they were given any).


Everything Jonathan
did for the Igbo people is on paper, but his adoption by
this APGA leaders has blinded the eyes of the Igbo
people. (I did want any Igbo man to reply what his state
gained from the Jonathan government in six years)
Also, the most reverred Reverend father in the East, Rev.
father Mbaka, An Igbo descent was widely criticised by
N'digbo for his counter attack against the Jonathan
administration. Many Igbos were happy when the sitting
president wife, who is not a Igbo woman in character,
language, ethics and by state of birth almost killed their own
priest and almost destroyed the reverred ADORATION
ministry of the Eastern people. The funniest of the Mbaka
story is an unemployed Igbo man who did a well-bought
album tagged 'MBAKA WHY?'. They turned their own
priest to a laughing stock, when the south westerners
and notherners are celebrating him for his courage.
Today, Mbaka said he has been vindicated over Buhari's
victory. Mbaka is not interested in a man who is not from
the east but bears Azikwe, just to trickishly gather the Igbo
peoples vote. He is interested in what the spirit tells him.
'the stone that the builder rejected has now become the
chief cornerstone'
THIS BEGAN THE DESTRUCTION OF WHAT OJUKWU BUILT
TO CONSOLE HIMSELF FOR THE WAR HE FOUGHT FOR.

TODAY, APGA LOST ALL SENATORIAL SEATS AND HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVE SEATS IN THE WHOLE NATION . How
on Earth can Stella Oduah, who has been widely criticised
for gross misconduct in public office, be able to win the
respected DUBEM OBAZE from Nsugbe. How on Earth can
Chris Uba, who was linked to the Ekitigate saga, be able to
win the national chairman of APGA, Chief Victor Umeh in a
senatorial challenge. Shame on you Umeh, I hope you have
learn to trust the PDP, after you sold your birthright!!!

The whole IGBO land canvassed for the PDP, just for a
morsel of bread, when all the bigger share of the PDP 21
billion naira campaign money was spent mainly to the south
westerners kings, politicians and people. The Igbos forgot
that there should be a balance in our approach to politics.

Today, The senate president seat that should have been
given to the Igbo descent, is now going to Bukola Saraki of
Kwara State. Thanks to Gov. Rochas Okorocha, and Chris
Ngige, who deem it fit to join the APC just to get a notable
position for the Igbo people, when the likes of Umeh are
castigating them.
April 11th will be another contest for the House of Assembly
all accross the Nation, I hope and pray that APGA will gather
at least a seat. Otherwise, the only sitting APGA governor,
Gov. Willie Obiano should be ready to face impeachment
from the opposition legislator who are ready to take the
state from him or decamp to their sides. Then, that might
be the end of APGA, The party that Ojukwu strive to
build.

Igbos re slaves to yoruba and hausa-fulani

The 'slaves' hv occupied 95% of Lagos alone.

op we the igbos knw that we are the real coward. at the end of civil ojukwu left and deserted us to go and hide. yet my brother will not see that. we have forgotten how an Igbo supported abacha. we Ave always been aligning with North.

Lol in yor dream.

Lagos Was already occupied before ur worthless ancestors came to lagos with poly bag and £20 given to them

Lagos is divided into 5 adminstrative divisions

Ikeja

Epe

Ikorodu


Badagry


Lagos island

Ur worthless ancestors don't have 5% stake in all these divisions.

Igbos have never betrayed Ojukwu, there is no man alive or dead that Igbos love as much Ojukwu.

What non Igbos simply dont understand about Igbos is that Igbos do not respect politicians, they respect freedom fighters.

It is Ojukwu the Biafran freedom fighter that Igbos love, not Ojukwu the APGA presidential candidate.


It is Zik the independence fighter that Igbos remember, not Zik the ceremonial president and politician.

There is no Igbo politician in Igbo land that can call for a million man rally and people will come out without monetary inducement.

But Nnamdi Kanu can call for a million people to come out tomorow from jail,with no money involved, and people will troop out.

Igbos do not respect politicians, they respect freedom fighters.

HOW THE YORUBAS BETRAYED AWOLOWO, AND HOW HE COMMITTED SUICIDE.

Twenty –three years after he suddenly was
reported dead of natural cause and two years
shy of his golden jubilee , facts are now
emerging on the reasons that led to First and
Second Republic political heavyweight ,Late
Chief Obafemi Awolowo committing suicide
It was learned that he did it to stem the tide

of a possible military court martial into an
insurrection he was planning to lead
alongside his political associates at the time
when it became evident that then Military
President ,General Ibrahim Babangida was
intending staying in power forever.
In a no-hold barred interview with FS Online
recently,a grass root politician ,Mr Adebayo
Adeyinka who lives within the College Road at
Ifako-Ijaiye axis in Ogba ,a suburb of Lagos,
Nigeria was livid with rage when he learned
that a key politician connected to the issue
was denying the incident.
He revealed that Chief Awolowo wanted to
lead some kind of guerilla warfare or militant
campaign against the government of
President Babangida so that he can be
overthrown through a popular or people -led
putsch.
According to him , the Elder Statesman
summoned a meeting of his core loyalists
over the issue and this was even filmed so as
to strengthen the extent of commitment of
each of the politician that attended the
meeting..
He pointed out that however unknown to all
of those who were privy to this meeting and
clarion call , Chief Lateef Kayode Jakande
,Former Executive Governor of Lagos State
had a different plan as he betrayed them to
the military .He Said:’ But unknown to them ,
Chief Jakande was planning to betray them,
he went to President Ibrahim Babangida and
promptly showed him the tape
“Papa Awolowo was invited for a meeting
with President Ibrahim Babangida who was
then staying at Dodan Barracks which was the
seat of power as at then and the truth of his
clandestine meetings was revealed to him by
the gap –toothed General
“He gave Papa some options and that was for
him to be ready to face a court martial , be
ready to go to a prison or better still go on
exile
“At this stage Papa felt instead of allowing
some ambitious khaki boy to mess him up he
should just pack it in and call it a day ,so
Chief Awolowo decide to commit suicide so
as to save himself from the ignominy of going
to prison for the second time in his lifetime .
“But before he did this he called his core
loyalists for a meeting ,before then he had
called up Late Chief Bola Ige [Cicero],since
the latter had a very strong understanding of
the Hausa Language having had his formative
years as a young man in Kaduna but
discovered that the late Esa-Oke strongman
was innocent after he was interrogated by
Papa
“He called others for enquiries while asking
them to tender the video cassettes of the
meeting they all attended to discuss the plans
to topple President Babangida for
examination ,at this juncture Chief Jakande
developed a cold feet as he could not
produce his own copy of the video which was
freely distributed to all that was present at
the meeting previously before the betrayal
and that was how the cat was let out of the
bag
“So he cursed him at this point and pointed
out that he will never have any form of
relevance politically as far as Nigeria was
concerned and till today members of the
Awolowo Dynasty avoids him like a plague.
“I was their when the letter he wrote to the
family to beg them for forgiveness over the
unfortunate incident was read in the presence
of all present ,if he continues to deny I am
ready to confront him publicly again on the
same issue as I can even remember that
elders asked him to go to the grave of the
late sage to plead for forgiveness
“When he was questioned he lied that the
National Security Organization now State
Security Services had visited his house to
check on him and in the process took the
tape in question but” Awoists” knew that this
was a very weak argument as he did not
inform their political group of this
development before their enquiry on the
subject
“That was how Senator Abraham Adesanya
assumed the leadership of the Awolowo
camp of Yoruba politics after the demise of
the man ,he was not even so close to
Awolowo during his lifetime like Chief
Jakande and that was why many called him
Baba Kekere on account of this cosy
relationship
“Beforehe gave up the ghost , he said his
prayers and then took the poison which killed
him almost immediately but the public was
not fully aware as they were given a different
account of what happened.
“We were simply told that he died while he
was brushing his teeth in his bathroom at his
Park Lane,Apapa residence here in Lagos
“He was stupendously wealthy during his
lifetime, infact there is know company at Oba
Akran in Ikeja ,Lagos where he does not have
at least a five percent equity, Dideolu Court in
Ogba alone cannot be valued at less than N10
Billion ,that was the place that he had in mind
to be his Seat of power if he was elected as
Nigeria’s President.
‘He owned Shonibare Estate but the man he
was using as a front and who later went to
prison over some issues which Awolowo
himself was privy to eventually laid claim to
the estate
“He got all of this wealth due to a great
measure of goodwill and tax waivers he gave
to investors whenever they come to establish
their business.
“Anytime you buy a bottle of Coca-Cola you
are enriching the Awolowo Dynasty ,go to
Ijebu Ikenne and you will discover that the
price of a bag cement there is different from
other parts of the nation due to the subsidy
that the citizens enjoy on account of Awolowo
who was their son and I hope you know that
West African Portland Cement is in Ewekoro
and not Ikenne.
“On account of this great betrayal Awolowo
family members regard the “Awoist” as a
group people should deal with using a long
spoon till this day and this explains why when
The Peoples Democratic Party Government
gave some of them political appointment
lately they accepted it without thinking twice.
“Dr Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu was made
an Ambassador by Former President
Olusegun Obasanjo while , Mr Segun
Awolowo Jnr was given a plum job at the
Federal Capital Territory in Abuja as a
Secretary.
“Recently when Afenifere was disintegrating
Mama out of concern for her husband’s
legacies decided to call a truce because as she
puts it then, she did not know what she was
going to tell her husband the day they meet
in heaven
“He made Sijuwade rich , because he was his
business associate and in fact some of us held
very strong views that he was one of his
fronts and later the same man became the
Ooni of Ife”he added
Mr Adebayo Adeyinka recalled his several
years of following grass root politics right
from the days of Action Group to the Unity
Party of Nigerian era in the second republic
but now lamented that he had since lost all
interest in partisan politics due to the massive
corruption in our polity.
He listed such blue chips like Dunlop Nigeria
Plc ,Guinness Nigeria Plc, Neimeth
Pharmaceutical Nigeria Plc ,May and Baker
Nigeria Plc ,Vitafoam Nigeria Plc ,Wahum
Nigeria Limited ,CAP Nigeria Plc ,
International Paints of West Africa [IPWA],
Berger Paints Nigeria Plc ,Berec Nigeria
Limited ,Kabelmetal, Nigeria Bottling
Company Plc ,Leventis Nigera Plc ,West
African Portland Cement Company,
[Lafarge ],Wema Bank Nigeria Plc, Scoa
Nigeria Plc ,CFAO Nigeria Plc, Cadbury Nigeria
Plc ,Wemaboard Estates, Odu’A Group,
Livestock Feeds Nigeria Plc , Nigerian
Breweries Plc as places the Awolowo family
have commercial interest to mention just a
few.
Apart from this stocks analysts believe that
the most visible of his investment ,The
Nigerian Tribune Newspapers cannot be
valued at less than N100billion today in terms
of brand evaluation as Thisday Newspapers
was valued by the Owner ,.Mr Nduka
Obaigbena at N200 Billion recently during a
media chart while celebrating his fiftieth
birthday sometimes last year.
Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was a leader
who believed that the state should channel
Nigeria’s resources into education and state –
led infrastructural development.
At his own expense albeit controversially ,he
introduced the free primary education for all
of the Western Region ,he equally established
the first television service in Africa in 1959
and expanded electrification projects in the
region using the proceeds from the highly
lucrative Cocoa export industry.
The Cocoa House in Ibadan regarded by
many as one of the major landmarks of
Nigeria’s architectural history was built as a
result of his economic blueprint which was
targeted towards the emancipation of his
people from poverty
He built the first stadium in West Africa , the
Liberty Stadium ,Ibadan and he coined the
name “Naira “for Nigeria’s official currency ,it
was previously called Nigerian Pounds.
During the 1970’s ,he was very critical of
Nigeria’s military expenditure insisting that
more should be spent on development
He ran a free health care programme for
children up till the age of eighteen years .
On his death on the 9th of May,1987 as a
mark of respect for his legacies ,The
University Of Ile-Ife which ironically he
helped to build as Premier of the Old Western
Nigeria was re-named in his honour as part
of a post humous celebration of his life and
times.
His portraits adorn public places in Nigeria
especially in his native Yoruba land where he
is seen as an icon.
His picture also adorn Nigeria’s one hundred
naira note.
He has been described surprisingly by some
of his greatest critics and even political
opponents as probably the Best President
Nigeria never had.
He struck a chord with the womenfolk during
his lifetime when in a rare show of public
affection for his wife of several years, Chief
Mrs Hannah Dideolu Awolowo told the world
that the woman was his jewel of inestimable
value.
Howright or prophetic he was because his
wife has continued to strengthen the mileage
of the husband’s name even in death.
During an exclusive interview with FS Online
at his Ilupeju home in Lagos last year, Chief
Lateef Jakande upon being probed with
questions over his relationship with Late Chief
Obafemi Awolowo on account of what feelers
were suggesting had denied that they had a
bad relationship shortly before his death.He
insisted that those that said that they had any
problems between them prior to Chief
Awolowo’s death were not been honest as
they were all telling lies.
