Not only university of Nigerian, you ought 2 av said Nigeria at large should be named after him. Prominent Nigerians with positive inflence have not been immortalize not to talk of a destroyer, a racial discriminator and an uncompatriot citizen who neva believed in NIGERIA should now be immortalized.
NONSENSE

Dude cool your temper, it is just an opinion. Awolowo never believed in Nigeria, yet The University at Ile-Ife was named after him. Ahmadu Bello believed in the north and not Nigeria, he also got a university named him at Zaria.
In the east, there is no better thing to name after Ojukwu rather the University at Nsukka.
Just my opinion.

DRANOEL:
they can name the "karu abbatoir" after him or better still, "the gudu cementary" is another befitting monument that can be named after him.

LEXYLOV:
That Clown called himself Beaf is on rampage again. He want to start tribal conflict on nairaland please fellow guys ignore the fool. Let him go and ask his odechukwu boss in aso rock what to do with that question.

Do not derail.

The University Of Nigeria Nsukka should be named after him. In my opinion, it should be called Chukwuemeka Ojukwu University of Nigeria-COUN, Nsukka.

Meanwhile, the enabling centre was filled to a capacity as Easterners and other Nigerias paid their last respect to Ikemba at Barking near London. Thanks to Gov Peter Obi, Ikemba ii, Prof Dora Akunyili, Chief Victor Umeh, Igbo Youths, The Good Shepherds, Ohanaeze U.K, ,Nnnewi descendats Union, Izu Anioma, Asaba descendants Union, Ibuzo dev Union, Nnewi Union, Abatete, Owerri cultural dance, Igbo Katholic community, Etche Town Union U.K et.c.
Thanks for Answering this call, from Andrew, one of the organisers.

Beaf:
This would be a fitting way to bring closure to the events that led to the Civil War and the embers it left behind. It would go to show that Nigeria values a men who employ courage and sacrifice for the common man.

A fitting monument would be a giant statue overlooking a museum and library complex.

A lion has gone home.
May Ojukwu's soul rest in peace.

@THE O.P, Thanks for this noble idea. Have a nice Sunday.

Am afraid, my beloved Chelsea stands no chance against the Napoli side I watched last Saturday that destroyed Fiorentina in front of their home crowd. My only consolation is that the return leg will be at the bridge.

Iribiga nnu oke (excess salt intake). Nke a nwere ike ibutere mmadu obara mgbalielu.

alj harem:
LOL it is not only western friend but also the north. Moreover the burial site might be in Nnewi but the ceremony could be in other parts.

BTW, are you still in Nigeria or London ?

The whole thing is too over-crowded. No more help fron the South west and the far north.

alj harem:
Why ?. You talk of Igbo tradition but yet are Igbos not human being.

Andre my friend Brother, If SW want to help out, then try to accept them. Stop being arrogant.

Same with other regions

@Uche, even Nnewi people are capable of organising a befitting burial for Ikemba. But in this case, it is not only Nnewi nor Anambra state but the entire Eastern region. It is enough and even overcrowded. No more support from our western Nigerian friends.

the southwesterners can only come as observers

tpia@:
No offence but imo swesterners should be included in the burial committee or even allowed to organize the whole thing.

Nothing personal- just that they're good at stuff like that.

Your opinion is laudable, but because the Yorubas may not understand the traditions of the Nnewi people, they will struggle. Most Southwesterners do not understand Igbo peoples ways of life and as a result I ordered the expulsion of two southwesterners from a party hall in S.E London about two years ago. Reason, they were making noises during a blessing of kolanut ritual at Igbo end of year party.

Forget the nonsense you always read, arrangements are going according to plans.

@Gbawe, just give up now.

johnie:
I dey laff o!

No need to laugh. As it is in the begining, so it shall be. Tai Solarin, Wole Soyinka etc all said crap about the military adm of IBB, yet they served in that same adm.
No be today.

@One_naira, dont mind the dude. There is no Yoruba in the Niger Delta. Itsekiris are not Yorubas, has never been and will never be just as Idomas are not Igbos, has never been and will never be. The chap is looking for groups to take to his dream Benin republic. Even his own ethnic Yorubas do not buy his idea and will never buy it. This is 4 years now he has been pushing this dream yet to no avail.
What a shame.

^^^Gorgeous.

executinal:
nawaooh this man ugly sha

But OBJ is uglier.
Anyway, thank God for his quick recovery.

Oke echiche. Nke a na-ebutere mmadu obara mgbali elu (high blood pressure).

Am just watching with keen interest what you intend to achieve more than the work of Prof of History Onwujeogwu. An eminent historian who did over 25 years of research on Nri and concluded with what we all know today.
Goodluck.

Osiris.211:
Both. They are shameless.

What do you mean lil girl?.

Nigerian.

ifyalways:
What is the relationship between Eboe [/b]and [b]Igbo

. . . and Oh he said his people believed god lived in the sun and smoked pipe,have we Igbos at any time shared same sentiments?

Eboe was the way slave masters and early Europeans spelt Igbo.
Apart from the context you quoted, there were similarities in his books with the Igbo of 400 years ago and the Igbo of today.

Akintola's nephew (DayoKanu) seems to view Awo as a hero

Do you take him serious?

@DEMDEM, Thanks for the above post. It is interesting to note that Ohanaeze (general) visited as well.

@Chinenye, do you intend to tell the World that Olaudah Equiano was writing nonsense. Here an Igbo from Ukwuani region wrote in the 17th century that he was an Igbo. You have read it yet you want to turn this simple logic upside down.
I know how stubborn you can be but not where the evidence is there before you. Once again reread the original post.

Awo might have been a hero but did not die as a hero.
Those in Akintola's camp see him as a villain.

ChinenyeN:
Well, when you say 'Ndigbo', it is seems obvious that you mean every group from Ika in Edo, to Ndoki in Akwa Ibom, Ekpeye in Rivers to whichever group it is that is in Benue; the now "Igboland". Am I wrong?

Am sure there were slaves from those areas sold into the new world. This slaves of this regions saw themselves as Igbo. The writer of the book we are discussing here also saw himself as Igbo.
As a consequence before, the imperial occupation of Igboland, the people knew and saw themselves as Igbo.

dayokanu:
To salvage this season

Torres out of the squad and strikers should be Drogba Lukaku(much more playing time) Sturridge and Kalou

The further Torres is from the team the better

In summer sell him to West Ham

Am sure you enjoy jokes.

Ibime:
Wetin bros dey apologise for? AVB?

AVB is a sorry coach who needs apologies. Players are busy telling him their mind in front of Abramovic.

Useless coach!

I don beg you before naa.
Take it easy, Biko.
