10th Ojukwu memorial: Biafra agitation won’t end soon – Bianca

There was a harvest of tributes in celebration of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu at the 10th edition of the memorial of the late Igbo hero, in Owerri, Imo State, yesterday.

The event took place at the expansive grounds of the Ojukwu Memorial Library built by the leader of BIM-MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike. 


This is as Ojukwu’s wife, Bianca, declared at the event that the clamour for secession, which according to her, had reached fever pitch in the country today, was a direct consequence of the  inequities of the Nigerian state as presently constituted. 

She maintained that the Igbo have continued to feel the pains of marginalization and exclusion on a daily basis, adding that for as long as this was not addressed, and in so far as the Federal Government continued to exclude the South East from certain political positions and critical development projects such as the National Railway plan, and the zone continued to suffer the ravages of the deteriorating conditions of existing federal infrastructure, most especially roads, the feelings of collective victimization can only be reinforced and will continue to sustain the agitations for a separate state.

The former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain decried the continued detention of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and called on the Federal Government to consider the pleas for his release.

Thanking the Igbo leaders who visited President Muhammadu Buhari recently in pursuance of this objective, she appealed to the president to consider the calibre and age of these Igbo statesmen and grant their request in order to demonstrate a genuine commitment to healing the wounds of the past.

She regretted that the Igbo have been continually denied equal sense of belonging and legitimate citizenship rights in Nigeria.  She, however, noted that no sacrifice was too much to promote and sustain a peaceful coexistence of all the ethnic nationalities in the country.

Deputy governor of Anambra State, Dr Nkem Okeke, who was special guest at the event, said for the Igbo to get what they want as a people, they must act with unity of purpose.

He said that the Igbo as a great nation must begin to speak with one voice if they must achieve their aspirations in an ethnic country like Nigeria as according to him, without unity they will continue to lose their rightful place in Nigeria.

“Ndigbo are a great people, but they are divided and I am saying this because we need unity and without it, we cannot achieve anything. But with unity, we can achieve whatever we set our minds on. We must stand together and if we don’t do that, we will never get our rights or political aims. So, we must unite and stand together for our rights,” Okeke said.

The deputy governor added: “Ojukwu, while alive, stood for the unity of Ndigbo and was a man of integrity and we are here today to honour his memorial. And the only way Ndigbo can continue to honour the memory of this great man who sacrificed his personal wealth and comfort for the cause of Ndigbo is to be united and continue to speak with one voice.”

He also lauded the leader of BIM-MASSOB, Uwazuruike for organising the annual Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Day in memory of the late Igbo sage.

In his remarks, son of the late Biafra leader, Afamefuna Ojukwu, a young United States-trained engineer, also thanked Uwazuruike for consistently hosting the event every year since the demise of his father.

The event was a cultural festival, featuring a brief interdenominational service, traditional dances and masquerade display, colourful parades, drama sketches and a live band eulogizing in music, the exploits of the Biafra hero.

It so painful that the 1967 civil war never accomplished what it wanted to. Rip Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
He was a visionary leader. He was seeing what others didn't want to see cus of selfish interest and other things.

part of what Ojukwu dicussion At the Aburi Accord was about the 2 parties (Ng & RBf) to work independently for some specific period of time and if that doesn't work the two countries can come back together. Obviously the Ng delegates never agreed to that.

France
France provided weapons, mercenary fighters, and other assistance to Biafra and promoted its cause internationally, describing the situation as a genocide. President Charles de Gaulle referred to "Biafra's just and noble cause"

China
Because the Soviet Union was one of Nigeria's leading supporters, supplying arms on a generous scale, China, having recently become rivals with the Soviets in the Sino-Soviet Split, declared its support for Biafra.

With increased British support, the Nigerian federal forces launched their final offensive against the Biafrans once again on 23 December 1969, with a major thrust by the 3rd Marine Commando Division. The division was commanded by Col. Olusegun Obasanjo (who later became president twice)

I'll only take those Biafra agitators seriously after 2023. If they can sustain the tempo of this their agitation after Buhari's exist then I'll personally support them.

What I detest and it's unacceptable is the agitation borne out of anger and bitterness that the person you supported loss an election.

PDP LOST ELECTIONS IN 2015 AND OTHER NIGERIANS INCLUDING THE SS WALKED AWAY TO RESTRATEGISE, BUT NOT THE SE. 6 YEARS AFTER THEY ARE STILL ANGRY AND AGITATING.

It can't end

Yes mummy.

Not untill they allow us to go to our God's natural given country
BIAFRA, that we loved and cherished so much.

Continue to rest in peace Ikemba 1

Till we achieve our dream

Is this not FFK side chick

Fine woman.

Issorite.

Holy holy holy nnamdi KANU is another saviour

Tell them.


Buhari's foolishness made Nnamdu Kanu a star today.


If I happened to be Buhari's son, the moment his tenure ends as President, I will reject him as my father and run away with the loots he has stolen for me and even change my surname because he Buhari has brought so much shame to that name Buhari.



The few people forming likeness for Buhari now are doing so because he is still in power and they want his favor as President. But the moment Buhari comes down as President, that name Buhari will become a shame and a curse that nobody will want to associate with for life.


Fulanis will realize the damage Buhari done to them after 2023.


Musa Yaradua, Atiku Abubakar are all Fulanis and Nigerians from all tribes loved them still.


There is something evil about Buhari, I pity his generation. The billions he has stolen and amassed for them can never save them from the curses their evil father have accumulated for them, unless they denounce and reject him completely.

It is well

This woman should sha go and sit down... Aside her yellow face what else does she have to offer.. Mtchew

MadamVanessa:



Yes mummy

Not untill they allow us to go to our God natural given country BIAFRA

I don't know you're a proud Biafran ma'am
God bless you and every freedom lover

One of the most powerful women in Nigeria that is above the law.

There are people in this world that you can't arrest, even in the UK and America.

I always tell people no matter what they say trump did in the election attack on the capital hill, trump can't be arrested.

In Nigeria, people like Bianca, Obasanjo, good luck Jonathan etc they are above the law.

If you touch bianca ojukwu, then there will be a civil war.
If you touch good luck Jonathan then Nigeria Will burn to the ground.
If you touch Obasanjo then there will be war.

They say nobody is above the law, don't be deceived, there are those above the law even in America and the UK.

NASA oh

Freedom is all we want

Federal government's retaliation won't end soon as well and painfully, the innocent masses' annihilation may not also end soon.

So we should boil water. Getat

It wont end at all
the largest percent of the Igbo populace are secessionist by heart
its just a shame that some people tend to use this as an opportunity
for their own selfish gains.

God bless the Great Ojukwu the only true selfless leader of the Igbo nation
God bless the good people of Igboland
and ofcus God bless my beautiful Owerri

Igbos are uniting on this .... but some himans like adadike will like to impress Yoruba humans .. and abusing igbos..

ojuwku 1 of Nnewi ...May his precious soul rest in perfect peace
