RIP, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. You came, you saw, though you did not conquer, but your spirit lives on in the hearts of many. And even as the same events which prompted the civil war still raises it's ugly head, it is a lesson that war is not an option. And when you returned from exile, you embraced peace with both hands. As a show of unity with the fifth estate, you took a wife, the daughter of your childhood friend, who bore you children at your old age.

Though your dreams were cut short and like the Moses of our time, you may not live to see the promised land, but the Igbo resolve to fight for themselves is not dampened. And you got the greatest honor, which is to be loved by one's people, and a befitting burial as well. Your last wish was also granted by your people in electing the man of your choice to govern your state.

But your grief is sure to come to an end, though your best was not good enough, it was a great effort. And you have surely made your mark on the sands of history. Even as a people grieve the loss of a generation, the Igbo race lives to fight another day, and this time not with guns, but by the people's resolve - which is unstoppable.

And so it was, "the MAN died". The man dies in everyone who refuses to stand up for justice, who for fear of being taunted fails to do what is right. The man dies in he who fails to use his position of authority to better the lives of his people. The man dies in every corrupt and selfish leader, who loots public funds for his selfish interest.

In your dying words, "this siege mentality must stop". We are a people under siege by our leaders. They have laid a siege of oppression, covered in a blanket of corruption and greed. One day, this siege must end!

But God is merciful. And as your body lay beneath the ground and your soul returns to Him to whom we must all give account of our lives, I pray God have mercy on your soul, and grant you eternal rest.

Adieu,

Last time I checked, a hero doesn't abandon his people so as to save his own skin. A hero reps his people at all times. He stays with them through thick and thin.

Ojukwu a hero? Laugh wan tear my sokoto.

Puzzy nigga hero

Why are u guys so arrogant?

Do u think that u know what is good for the Igbos more than them?

He's revered and loved by his people. Why are u developing erect[i]i[/i]on over it??

Looking for scape-goats to blame for the loss of Midwest, Brigadier Victor Banjo, Lt. Col. Emmanuel Ifeajuna, Major Sam Agbamuche (Agbam) and Major Phillip Alale were tried in a kongaroo-styled court and found guilty of "treason" for deserting Benin City. While Ojukwu executed his officers for deserting the Midwest capital (Benin City), HE DESERTED THE BIAFRAN CAPITAL (Enugu) WHEN NIGERIAN SOLDIERS ATTACKED IT on October 2, 1967.

May his soul and the souls of all the departed faithful by God's mercy rest in peace, Perharps one of these days in the near future, we will all get to sit down on a round table and actually get to know what really happened,

Then 'his'people who love him are rather crazy people or just kids of yesterday or just playing politics to gain favor or just doing it for some money they will get somewhere else. Anyone who genuinely thinks he is a hero is a bigot, a tribalist and a potential ethnic cleanser and rather silly as he was.

Ojukwu singlehandedly stained the Igbo history. He is the main cause every one in Nigeria thinks of Igbo the way they are. Because of Ojukwu no Igbo man will ever become Nigeria's president. Any igbo man that tries it, then the dissident spirit of ojukwu will rise against him.

He tried to become nigeria's president, why didnt the ''hero'' get it? hero my pussihairs

Really ? You got pussyhairs ? Igbos are the most comfortable Nigerians. Those igbos, although they have no luxury of political presidency have been very successful entrepreneurs. Give it to them when it comes to commerce. Ojukwu remains an icon for those who have read about him and listen to him speak. Only the very ignorant will judge a book by the cover. Ojukwu was one intelligent Aje butter

He was a Hero. He will never be forgotten

Rest in Peace, Great Man

It is quite unfortunate you are reasoning the way you are. But believe me Ojukwu only rose up to an occasion that demanded the guts of a patriot. If anybody expected him to fold his hands and romance with those who were slaughtering his people in the name of revenge for a coup, then such a fellow need to see a head doctor.
The slaughering of our people has continued unchallenged till this day, and if anybody think that we shall fold our hands and watch, then that fellow must have his head examined.

For your info, Biafra is a reality! Nigeira is pushing herself to the brink and Biafra will rise to fall no more. It is a matter of time.

Ezeigbo gbururu rest in perfect peace.

Those of here in China celebrated our
great hero today even with our masquerade,Chinco people sef bow.
Check it out on gbooza.com next tomorrow.

@pdude.dere are 2 conditions dat qualifies someone as a hero, "write something worth reading" or "do something worth writin about".
If I may ask,is dere anybody in ur lineage dat satisfies dis 2 requirements? If no, den u re foolish for posting dat rubbish.

th dearth of ojokwu has become an avenue for igbo guymen like uwazurike,peter obi and others to become a multibillionire. monky go work the guymen go chope!

Anyone who gives up his comfort for a stand against injustice and oppression is dear to my heart. I respect Gani, Balarabe musa, soyinka etal. Ojukwu falls in this class in my mind. I shall forever remember him for his quest for equity, justice and courage. He is not known for his material wealth, or secretly sponsoring a militia. He openly fought for justice n equity. People from his place have reasons to celebrate him, I support them. He was not among those that looted us. He was a great leader. The injustice he saw and stood against is still there hence the clamour for SNC, resource control, state police, federal character, zoning and others.

Its hypocritic to claim one nigeria and then make no effort to respect the feelings, the right to life, freedom of worship, the right to lead and be fairly led. I prefer smaller countries coexisting with mutual respect and economice interaction where nationhood is not artificial. Eg nigeria, niger and benin republic are not at war. The Almighty Allah abhors hypocracy. We are shedding to much blood on daily basis in d name of one Nigria. I prefer 100 nigeias with improved security to life, property and development. If we must remain one then let's respect one another.

, But is it true , he ran to abidjan ? If yes, he was a coward.

@Gaskia, may God bless you. Most countries colonised by Britain av all disintegrated only Niger-area remains.

Am not clamouring for sepeation. I clamour for nation with mutual respect cemented by geniune desire to be one not that of counter suspicion, distrust and hate. If we cannot guarantee these to ourself to a reasonable extent then we have no reason to deceive ourself by faking one nation. Also if ojukwu did not fight, we would not have known how dangerous war is.we would have fought many wars now that there are many sources of provocation.

Even after Death u still got many Hater. RIP GREAT WAR LORD. He who fights and run lives to another day.

Dats why i said biafra is real and sure,.

Sooner or later all igbos shall be included both civil servants,.

thank you for demonstrating how ignorant you are about nigeria's history and the persona of the man you write about

For many times i've been reading many posts with interest on this icon called OJUKWU, hmmm alot of people had spoke so much about him both those who love him and those who hate him. But all have one thing in common about this Warrior, 'he lives in us Nigerian', love him or hate him," HE LIVES IN YOU" except you choose not think or talk about him. Just like Jesus christ, Micheal jackson etc, OJUKWU is a popular name that'll live with our generation and many generations 2 come, Hate or love de name! For christain Don't get it twisted that i 've likened him 2 d name Jesus christ, if you consider Jesus a hero, remember there's was a time enemy sought 2 kill him 'prematurely' ,he avoided death till de hour came, likewise Mohamed, he went on exile when there was so much heat on him. Elijah ran 4 his dear life when jezebel turn de heat on him, so tell me any real Hero that don't run 4 his life especially in war or if there's heat on his life. Just post any topic on Ojukwu and see if it can't make front page! What a legend!

Ojuku is a coward who fled to Abidjan and left his ppl to suffer

The greatest Nigerian ever, Ojukwu: if there be second world, i wish to belong where you belong. We have conquered, they re still waiting to realise it. U re our hero

if we don't have opposer, we haven't started

enemies must try their best

even in d bible, but we are nt fighting against hausa and yoruba but against d spirit of not believeing that ojukwu live and is sitted at the right hand of God.
