Late Chief Edozien(Oni Ahaba) is missing on this list.

naptu2:
His brother, Professor Emmanuel Edozien, passed away in 2019.

The end of an Era. He lived life to the fullest. You will always be remembered.

Chekwume16:
Yes he was an oshimili king but not a supporter of your senseless biafra struggle. That struggle cost us a lot during the war.

This is totally unnecessary. It was costly to all Igbo groups. Stop further finger pointing and allow us to mourn together.

Emyogalanya:
so what was he in support of Nzeogwu's madness? My friend shut up what you suffered was brought to you by your cousin Nzeogwu from Okpanam.. His madness cost us 3m people stop running around the truth

It is enough. We all suffered terribly. No need for further pointing of fingers. Allow us mourn together in peace.

The end of an era.
May he rest peacefully.

RIP sir

No, they are Yorubas.

That is the nature of the answer you will always receive until you change your ways for the better.

And who even caused the Civil War! Was it the duo of Murtala & Taiwo? And without holding brief or supporting the duo for their actions & inactions, what happened prior to that ugly & painful incident? Always endeavor to tell history in full as half truth is a socio crime

Okay. Let's talk about what happened before that ugly incident.

A group of Igbo officers and one Yoruba officer staged a coup and killed a handful of Northern and Western elites (together with one Igbo officer). The death toll wasn't all that high. Maybe a dozen or so.

The Northern elite retaliated some months later and killed well over 230 Igbo officers. Let me repeat: over 230 Igbo officers.

So they settled the score. In fact, they settled the score times 20! A northern officer Akahan even said that revenge had been exerted, the scores had been settled and everything could now return to normal. It was a politico-military affair and it had been settled within the military.

So why didn't they stop there? Why did they launch a nationwide massacre of Igbo civilians and non-politicians that had nothing to do with the coup? In that massacre, at least 50,000 Igbo men, women , children and babies were massacred. This was the trigger for what happened next.

Only dolts and apologists for the disease of Igbophobia still blame the civil war solely on Nzeogwu's coup. The North had had it in for the Igbo since before Nzeogwu. Go and read about the Jos Riots of 1945 and the Kano riots of 1953. A wholesale massacre and a descent into civil war was bound to happen. Make una stop to dey use Nzeogwu's coup as a pretext and admit that Nigeria has always had an Igbo problem.

[quote author=AustineE1 post=128362441]RIP to a very notable Igbo king...i remember his plead and quest for the creation of two more Igbo states from Delta and Rivers,so that Ndigbo will have seven states and major up with other regions. A member of the inner chambers of Ohaneze,he gave an in-depth story of what actually happened on the 5th of October 1967,now known as the Asaba Massacre！When the Nigerian 2nd division led by col. Murtala Mohammed and maj.Ibrahim Taiwo committed genocide against Ndigbo. We
Both Ibrahim Taiwo and Murtala Mohammed were later killed during the military coup of 1976 that led by Dimka.

RIP Agbaogidi

It's well. Its a reminder of the inevitable debt we all owe. But we must wake up again in eternity. Heaven or hell. Decide for yourself...

There's no heaven, there's no hell.

Are Asaba folks Igbo? 🧐🧐🧐

NO! But biafrans have been trying to annex Asaba for decades. Is it by force?. Asaba is separated from Igbo land by River Niger

Yugoos:


Yes and yes.

Big NO. Although Igbo is the major language because of the proximity to Igbo land.. Asaba has their origins from Kogi State

chucky101:

but your Nigerian army fired and massacred them

And the people that caused the coup are from that area yet you called it Igbo coup

And Obi of Asaba was the head of Igbo traditional rulers at a point

This is it
