Ojukwu On Life Support And In Critical Condition by 2mch(m): 8:33pm On Jul 25, 2011
Ojukwu On Life Support Machine, Condition Now Too Bad-PM News, Lagos
Posted: July 25, 2011 - 15:50

By Kayode Ogundamisi/London & Oluokun Ayorinde/Abuja

Contrary to recent reports that he is responding to treatment, P.M.NEWS investigations have revealed that former Biafran warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu may not be in any position to return to the country very soon as there has not been any significant improvement in his health since he was rushed to the United Kingdom last year.

P.M.NEWS investigations in London revealed that Ojukwu is still on admission and on life support machine at the intensive care unit of Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, West Berkshire, where he was moved to on 27 June following anxiety over a fresh chest infection which worsened his condition.

Royal Berkshire is an NHS hospital but it was not clear if British tax payers are picking Ojukwu’s health bills. P.M.NEWS observed that Ojukwu was in a ward that any British tax payer would have been. It was also discovered that Ojukwu is not getting any special treatment that his condition deserved at the hospital.

Ojukwu is on admission at the Ememer Green ward of the hospital and the only person keeping him company when P.M.NEWS visited was Bob Enyeama who described himself as chief of staff to the former Biafran warlord. Though he insisted that the Eze Ndigbo was “in good health”, P.M.NEWS observed that Ojukwu was bed-ridden, appeared to be still with eyes constantly staring at the ceiling. Enyeama later chased the P.M.NEWS correspondent out of the ward when he knew about his mission. But a member of staff of the hospital told P.M.NEWS that they are waiting for the family members of the Biafran warlord to decide if the life support he is on should be switched off.

Asked if Ojukwu could still make it with his current condition, she replied: “You saw him yourself, what do you think?”

P.M.NEWS was also at the other institutions where the Biafran warlord has been treated since he was taken to London. Ojukwu was rushed to the Royal Berkshire hospital from the Lynden Hill Care Home, Berkshire where he was admitted on 6 June, 2011.

The Lynden Care Home is located in an isolated countryside and the clinic in its promo claim to specialise in “natural healing”. It is suspected that after all normal medical efforts failed his handlers may have resorted to the “natural healing” at the care home.

A worker who claimed anonymity stated that the home could only have him for a few weeks as he was reaching a “vegetative stage, could not respond to sound or his environment”. Some members of Ojukwu family had earlier condemned the transfer of the former Biafran warlord to this institution which they said have no facilities for comprehensive specialist care and rehabilitation services like physiotherapy, speech therapy and high level of nursing input which Ojukwu requires in his present condition. Before then, Ojukwu was on admission at Wellington Hospital, North West London, and sources within the hospital claimed that when he was brought in, his condition had deteriorated and he spent most of the time on wheelchair and assisted care. Sources claimed his condition never improved and he was “self-checked out again”.

When he was flown to the United Kingdom on 23 December last year as a result of the rapid deterioration of his health, the first institution Ojukwu was admitted to was the London Clinic, Devonshire Place, London. Though P.M.NEWS confirmed that the Eze Ndigbo was admitted at the hospital, they would not comment on his state of health on admission but they did confirm a “self-check out” by those who brought him in. The findings by P.M.NEWS confirmed assertions by some close members of family of Ojukwu. “At no stage at the London Clinic and later when he was moved to Wellington was he well enough talk, sit or eat let alone exercise without being assisted by a physiotherapist,” a source close to the Ojukwu family had told P.M.NEWS while disputing the claims that Ojukwu was on his way back to Nigeria as published in some newspapers.

P.M.NEWS investigations revealed that members of Ojukwu’s family are calling for the return of the former warlord to the London Clinic where they believed he can get better specialist care.

The other time I said this ''that Ojukwu is now a vegetable'',all these ibos were calling me tribalist.Now you can see that your warlord may soon die if he's not giving special treatment.Btw,why can't all y'all his godsons on nl contribute to take care of him,sebi una sabi eulogise the guy well well.Anyways,they should deport him to Naija amd I will make arrangement for his admission to National Hospital in Abuja maybe he may get better treatment there than where he's been abandoned in that mental home in london.Btw where the that ibo loudspeaker organization ? Ohanaeze ndibo ? Lol

He is of no value even to his own race.
I know some deluded folks will trump him as a hero,but he can hardly be classified as such.

You are a fool to believe that this section tribalism begins with me. I started posting on Nairaland in 2010.

Tribalism has been present on Nairaland since the beginning so do not blame someone who only defended his tribe as it was bashed since Nairaland was created.

I dun tire for people like you who turn a blind eye to your own brothers who committed worse acts than someone who simply defends his people. It is called fighting fire with fire. You hypocritical bastarrd.

Didn't people pray for Yardua to die in Saudi hospital ? You also forgot the endless vigils people had because of Abacha ? So if death will ease ojuku's pain,then he should pray for death to come ! Why does he have to be useless before he dies ?

They are very sick to be praying for death of another. I do not know where some of them come from, but where I am from, this is an ABOMINATION.

See Bluetooth rejoicing on Ojukwu's condition!

Remember, if you as a person reaches that age, it's a blessing, so better be careful how you talk on some issues. Every time  is not for joke or time to make sarcastic statements.

Even if Ojukwu dies today so be it, after all nobody is meant to be on earth forever or do.
Re: Ojukwu On Life Support And In Critical Condition by Nobody: 1:41pm On Jul 26, 2011
I hope he gets better but if its a buildup for time for him to go, then I hope he goes in peace.

I respect the man for the love he has for his people, I wish we had/have someone like that for the whole of nigeria, or atleast for the north.

Hurray to a peoples hero (even if its just his people).

Do you want me to start with you or ojuku first ? Anyways,the topic is about ojuku,so you are spared.Every single iboman seems not to care about him anymore. . .maybe we should inform Fashola to come to his aid since he's doing more for ibos or rochas and his foundation are not aware that ojuku is rotting away in a mental home in london ? This is so pathetic infact where is bianca ?
Re: Ojukwu On Life Support And In Critical Condition by EzeUche(m): 1:46pm On Jul 26, 2011
Some Nairalanders wonder why Igbos on Nairaland act the way they do. This thread is an example of why we fight back.

Do you think we will tolerate people who insult a leader who lead us in our darkest time in our history?

I regret nothing that I say because if you mock a leader that is close to my heart, there will be no sympathy from me.

Ojukwu is a man that will be respected and feared even in grave by many. At a young age he achieved a lot and stood against oppression. What Ojukwu saw yesterday is what many are fighting for today. We all should pray that God will bless us to even die at such a ripe age. But, one thing I know for sure is that Ikemba's death(not anytime soon) will inspire so many Igbos again to start the fight for our cause.
