Odumegwu Ojukwu Remembered By His Living Twin by Jakumo(m): 5:41am On Jul 21, 2018
No story of Nigerian political history would be complete without reference to the Biafran separatist war of 1967 to 1971, and no account of that devastating war would be complete without mentioning the name Odumegwu Ojukwu, the renegade Nigerian army officer of Igbo extraction, who led that insurrection, and is today both revered and reviled in equal measure.

Rather than rehash ancient history, I decided to take a moment to look at Ojukwu's living "twin", a guitarist named Onne Kienga, who hails from the Congo, yet plays soukous/highlife music that is instantly recognizable to the Igbo tribe in particular, as dating back to those tempestuous years when war raged across the Land of the Rising sun.

Mods, I pray you bear with me today, and exercise your prerogative to leave this topic here in the political section, at least for a few hours or days, so a few more readers can take in this video of Ojukwu's living twin, evoking music of days gone by, when Nigeria's unity faced its most intense and prolonged test.

May such a time never befall the Nigerian nation again.

Odumegwu Ojukwu should be held responsible for the death of innocent children, pregnant/nursing mothers and innocent men who died during the war. Somebody who deceived the Igbos and caused their deaths in millions because of his greed. Someone who could not see the possibilities of losing the battle before it began. A warrior that went into exile came back and got married to one of the most beautiful women in Nigeria who is young enough to be his daughter. Is that one a warrior? Rubbish

As I acknowledged above, Odumegwu Ojukwu was both loved and hated in equal measure.

He deceived Igbos? By asking them to stand up and fight for their freedom? Are you for real? Why do you think Igbos love Ojukwu if he actually deceived them?

Ojukwu led us in a war of independence. He failed but its not the failure that counts, it's the fighting spirit. He fought when everybody else decided to be slaves of the Northern oligarchy

Ha ha no be me talk am o.

On a serious note, provided Patience Jonathan does not show up to comment on this thread, we can all go about our lawful business without fear.

The resemblance is striking to say the least, between the Ikemba of Nnewi and The Kienga of Congo, each a master in his chosen realm.

Na only Papa God go fiti know as de ting be.

Awolowo is a dirty and shameless coward who killed himself.

Ojukwu is a true hero who fought to defend and liberate his poeple.
