Today and tomorrow are Igbo days. I remember General Odumegwu Ojukwu and those who fought and sometimes died in the process of resisting the wave of genocide targeted on the Igbo starting from September 29, 1967 all over Nigeria. Today as an Igbo, I say thank you to the gallant defenders of Nd'Igbo during the pogrom. Some of you had to die so that I may live. For Gen. Emeka Ojukwu, I wish you a speedy recovery. Today I remember you for your foresight and fortitude. For me these two days are days for reflections. What about you? |

Ndigbo worldwide, my special greetings to you all. For those in and around London, there will be a book launch in remembrance to the Asaba and other Massacres in Igboland on Friday 30/09/11. I will post details soon. Igbo Ekelem unu. |

The next 1 should be held in Rivers, Delta or Edo state to truly give our Igbo siblings outside of SE a greater sense of belonging to the larger Igbo family. Even CrossRivers or Akwaibom since our Aro brothers are there as well. |

Our Iganke brothers are really fighting an uphill battle to free themselves from the Bini and join their Anioma / Ika kit and kin in Delta state. They have a group on facebook. They are making it clear to us that they are not Bini or Edo and don't want to be confused as such. |
