When there is so much tension and poverty the OP is talking about something totally irrelevant. Awolowo has since passed. Tell Tinubu and co to do something about it, but of course, they are aiming at how to loot for another 4 years. Or Mr OP are you in agreement that there should be an Oduduwa Republic so that you can rebury your hero? For the record Awolowo as Prime Minister would probably had been better than Balewa, but his actions after Ironsi clouded his legacy for at least the Easterners and for the North fulfilled what they had thought about him siiince 1 Like |

[color=#006600][/color] CyynthiaKiss: Please stop saying what you do not know. Don't misinform the public. Nzeogwu was never accorded a state burial, he was buried in Kaduna with full military honours. There is a difference between a state burial and a military burial, all soldiers who die in active service are entitled to a military burial. He in fact died in July 1967 when he engaged troops of 21 Battalion whilst carrying out a night recce, and his body taken to Kaduna by the Federal troops. He was the Chief Instructor of the Nigerian Military Training College before the Jan coup and so was loved by most of the Northern soldiers. A state of war existed then between Nigeria and Biafra, how then could Ojukwu have gone to Kaduna?? Even the Aburi conference that was held on Jan 4/5 of 1967 (before war broke out) took place in Ghana because Ojukwu did not feel he'd be safe enough in Nigeria Get your facts straight, again calling Ojukwu a general? I wonder who made him a general, Ojukwu was a Lt/Col. 2 Likes |

PharoahIII:You get time for that dunce trying to be smart wanting likes at all cost. He can only fool his fellow fools that commented above. Average igbo man does not know the difference between STATE and MILITARY burial. A military funeral is a memorial or burial rite given by a country's military for a soldier, sailor, marine or airman who died in battle, a veteran, or other prominent military figures or heads of state. A military funeral may feature guards of honor, the firing of volley shots as a salute, drumming and other military elements, with a flag draping over the coffin. WHILE A state funeral is a public funeral ceremony, observing the strict rules of protocol, held to honour people of national significance. State funerals usually include much pomp and ceremony as well as religious overtones and distinctive elements of military tradition. Generally, state funerals are held in order to involve the general public in a national day of mourning after the family of the deceased gives consent. A state funeral will often generate mass publicity from both national and global media outlets. A military burials were given to both ojukwu and nzeogu because they were military men. Awolowo and Alex ekweme were given state burials. To the mumu called cynthiakiss and his fellow dunces or whatever, cos military men were firing volley shots as salute translates to state burial to them He should thank his star that i did not come to this thread earlier cos i was busy. 1 Like |

[color=#006600][/color] CyynthiaKiss: The problem with Nigeria is someone passes Waec and then begins to see himself/herself as being part of the intelligentsia, if you know anything about how the coup happened then you'll know there is no way in the world Jack could have accorded Nzeogwu a state burial, was it the same Nzeogwu that wanted to kill him on the night of Jan 15? Even Ojukwu could have been killed by Nzeogwu were it not for Madiebo. And then you say they attended his funeral, fyi some people to this day believe Ojukwu had a hand in the death of Nzeogwu because Nzeogwu was more popular among the junior ranks and everyone (Ojukwu included) was scared of him. |

Another eye witness account (accompanied by pictures). Unfortunately the blogger only posted pictures of the Ibadan leg of the 7 days activity (I wish there were pictures of Lagos and Ikenne). The blogger also didn't post the names of the people in the pictures, but I can identify some of them anywhere I see them because they were always in the news in the 1980s. The Prophetic Jeremiah of Africa Awolowo – his last journey on earth https://www.drraphaeljames.com/2018/04/the-prophetic-jeremiah-of-africa.html?m=1 1st picture below) The blogger didn't identify them, but I know the first two men in the picture. They are Colonel Tunji Olurin (Oyo State governor) and Colonel John Mark Inienger (Bendel State governor). The 3rd person looks familiar but I can't remember his name. This was at the Liberty Stadium in Ibadan. 2) The crowd at the Liberty Stadium in Ibadan during a commendation service for Awo. 3) "Papa Awo Odigba" written on a section of the stadium in preparation for the commendation service. 4) Crowd on the street in Ibadan as Awo's motorcade passes by Pictures continue in the next post. 5 Likes 2 Shares
