AWKA—AS the controversy over the Will of the late Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu continues, his son, Mr. Emeka Ojukwu Jr., a former commissioner for special duties and transport in Anambra State, has said he did not need any Will to take over his father’s house in Nnewi.

Speaking yesterday, Ojukwu Jr. said he had taken over the house according to Igbo tradition that stipulates that the first son should automatically and traditionally inherit his father’s house and compound in the event of the father’s death.

The Nnewi mansion was given to Emeka Jr in the controversial Will read last week in Enugu, while Ojukwu’s multi–million naira commercial property located at Sokoto road, Onitsha, was given to him to manage, while the Ikemba was still alive and it was not reflected in the Will.


Emeka Ojukwu, jnr,
Emeka, however, said other contents of the Will were subject to challenge at the law court, adding that it was left for his father’s lawyer who prepared the original Will to take action before he (Emeka) contacted his own lawyer for any possible litigation.

Meanwhile, the crisis rocking the family over the Will took a new dimension yesterday with a director in Ojukwu Transport Limited, OTL, one of the companies mentioned in the Will, saying the late Ikemba’s wife, Bianca, had no stake in the company.

A director of the company, Mr. Ifeukwu Ojukwu, who is based in the United States of America, USA, said the company, owned by their late father and grandfather, Sir Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu was a different property from the private property of late Ikemba Nnewi, arguing that Bianca could not claim the trustee of the company as conferred on her in the Will.

It would be recalled that the will had given the trustees of the company belonging to the late Ojukwu Bianca which the eldest son to Ojukwu Emeka Jr. described as untrue and improper.

Ifeukwu Ojukwu said: “Bianca was neither a trustee member, nor a director of OTL and it is good to note that OTL is a different property from the things late Ikemba Nnewi left behind because the directorship cannot be transferred through a Will.

“I attended a meeting of OTL directors and Bianca was not there and she is not even a member of the board of directors and she cannot lay claim to that.”

He explained that all the directors of OTL were in full support of Emeka Ojukwu (Jr.) as the head of the Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu’s family, recalling that the late Ikemba told him that Emeka was his first son and head of the family in the event of his death.

He added that members of the family would support him in whatever he decided to do.

The continent of Africa is a place of natural beauty, dramatic landscapes, rich history and diverse peoples. In addition to being the world's eighth most populous country, the West African nation of Nigeria alone is home to more than one-sixth of the continent's total population. Of Nigeria's numerous ethnic groups, the Yoruba and Igbo are two of the nation's largest groups. Although they share some similarities, they possess a number of distinct differences that make unique.

Geography
The Igbo people generally reside in southeastern Nigeria, which is commonly referred to as Igboland. Due to economic, social and political unrest, a significant number of Igbo people are also found in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, the Caribbean and many parts of the United States and Europe. While members of the Yoruba ethnic group are primarily found in southwestern Nigeria and all over Benin, Ghana, Togo, Caribbean, South America, and there are large concentrated populations in the United States and in the United Kingdom.

Size
In addition to immigrants from Europe, Asia and the Americas, as well as other African nations, Nigeria is home to more than 150 million people from an estimated 250 tribes. Often called one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa, the Yoruba are estimated to have a population of 50 million, and constitute over 20 percent Nigeria's citizenry. Members of the Igbo tribe are believed to make up about 18 percent of the population, boasting more than 27 million people.

Identification
Although there are a number of origin stories, according to oral traditions, the Yoruba people are believed to have migrated from the region now known as the Middle East during medieval times. From oral tradition and analysis of cultural traits and linguistic patterns, the Igbo people are descendants of people from the Sudan and Bantu-speaking peoples from Central and East Africa. While many Igbo members are primarily Christian, specifically Roman Catholic, most Yoruba people are followers of Christianity and Islam, almost equally. Some Yoruba people also adhere to traditional tribal religious beliefs.

Government
While the citizens of Nigeria must abide by federal and state laws, traditional government and politics were extremely different. Although some Igbo groups had a king called an obi, most traditional Igbo governments were similar to a democratic-republican system. Some groups were ruled by a council of elders, while others were ruled by an assembly of citizens. Yoruba people generally preferred a monarchical government, but also had independent communities where small councils made legislative, judicial and executive decisions. Monarchical societies were primarily ruled by a king called an oba.

Ishilove: You are quite mouthy for a faceless username. Feel free to take a chair and go sit with those waiting for me to give a flying fucck about what they think.

Crayola1: Lol I rarely post pics. And most of my pics I do post are culture related not of everything.

So that screenshot by you with shymexx@gmail.com was not proof enough for everyone to know that bittyend and shymexx are one in the same lol. Where is your proof that I'm any of those people you claim? I'll wait.

So you are friends with yourself? How sad.

Which fans? It's a Internet forum dude it's not that serious.

Because there is no need to talk about what they already know bittyend=shymexx, if you want to be delusional that's your business. The folks that make the most noise about multiple IDs often are the ones with numerous accounts lol like yourself.

No one says they have the juice old man.

Goldieluks: You can't unweld these ones, they have been sealed and re-sealed.

Crayola1: Ive never posted my picture

And none of what you said makes sense lol

Lol you ratted yourself out with your own post what more proof does anyone need lmao

Why keep up the charade lol

Dede1: If a person thinks Port Harcourt is the pride of East or even Calabar, it does not mean everybody from the east has to bow for Port Harcout or Calabar. I do not give a ratazz if Abuja is pride of Nigeria talk less a city or state. As a matter of fact, I have no intentions to do business in Abuja.

Odenigbo Aroli: There is no fight going on;I just wanna correct a false impression,period.

Odenigbo Aroli: But I made it known when I created it and most nairalanders that are familiar with my post know this,even your sister ileke idi.

So,Shymmex ha market nah ?

Odenigbo Aroli: Let me remind you that I created that id when I was banned for attacking the Yorubas. It has nothing to do with my identity. I don't know why fools like you think my stance is burned out of jealousy. Needless to say,I'm very proud and glad of where I came from and every Omanba should be. I mean,what's there to not be proud of Omanbala? The issue I have with you lots is the view you are trying to introduce to us which is faulty. Enugu is definitelly not the pride of the east of which Omanbala is part of. Enugu city is simply the pride of Enugu state! We,the real Omanbala say so!
