Anambra State Government yesterday marked the 84th Posthumous Birthday of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu
The icon, general and freedom fighter was born on the 4th of November, 1933 in the northern Nigerian town of Zungeru to Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, an Nnewi businessman and one-time richest man in West Africa. He joined the Nigerian army in 1957, rising to become its first indigenous Quartermaster. Following the January 1966 coup that toppled Nigeria's maiden independent civilian government, Colonel Ojukwu became the military governor of the old Eastern Region.

Ojukwu passed away in the United Kingdom on the 26th of November, 2011. He was accorded one of the most elaborate burial ceremonies in the history of Africa by the Nigerian army, his Igbo people and the President Goodluck Jonathan-led Federal Government. He is widely considered a legend, icon and freedom fighter, especially by his native Igbo people who see him in the same light as the Americans see George Washington, the Britons see Winston Churchill, the Indians see Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi and the Chinese see Mao Zedong.

Omo this OJUKWU wife still dey shine oooo.... Chai ... See watin Ojukwu die leave for.......

How many years after his death?

Obiano we are watching you in ancestors court.

The same Anambra government who's fighting against Biafra is the same government celebrating one of Biafra's fallen hero... Who's deceiving who?

How funny!!!

Criminals... Enemies of National Development

He failed his people.... that's why they refused to vote for him when he contested

Just as Wole Soyinka won the Nobel Peace Prize and Dr Adesina won the World Food Prize, Ojuku should also be awarded the World Speed Prize.

My guy ran from Abakaliki to Abidjan like someone that drank diesel mixed with engine oil.

Anything for November 18th

As far Ojukwu founded Apga,there is nothing like deceit there

The Mengistus of our time.

government of obiano is the one of the biggest fraud in
Nigeria.so much noise and many billboards but nothing
on ground, all the roads today at anambra was done by
Peter obi/ngige, almost every day the governor is signing
memorandum of understanding, but you won't see
anything tangible ,he said he attracted 50billion dollar
investment,where are the industries/ companies located?
he said he exported ugu/bitter leaf to europe which yield
over 10billion dollar,have you gone to the site where all
these things are cultivated? billboards everywhere, I have
been going round to see where the vegetables or the
yams is being cultivated, its just a pure lie, look at
governor ambode of Lagos and umahi of ebonyi, in less
than 3yrs into office see how good they have performed
without making any noise, just last week, obiano came
to my town and flagged off a road with one catapillar
and left since then Nothing is happening there , go to the
site of cargo airport he signed the mou with Chinese firm
the place is till a tick evil forest .asides paying of
salaries which is not an achievement, obiano did nothing
in anambra except putting up Billboards and barbing and
carving his hair...
