Ojukwu: A hero’s hero – Mark
Written by - Sunday, 27 November 2011 05:10


President of the Senate, Senator David Mark has described the Ikemba Nnewi, Chief Odumegwu Emeka Ojukwu as a dogged fighter who fought till the end to liberate the oppressed.



Senator Mark in a condolence message to the government, people of Anambra State and the bereaved family, remarked that Ojukwu remains one of the greatest Nigerians that ever lived.


He noted that Ojukwu was a great fighter who stood for justice, equality before the law, fairness and freedom to all citizens.

Senator Mark added that “No matter how much you love or hate him, Ojukwu was a man who loved his people and was ever prepared to lay down his life for them to have a better living.

“No matter the angle he is viewed, Ojukwu will be remembered as a man who stood up to be counted when it mattered most. He was a man who hated oppression and he did his best to liberate the downtrodden.”

The President of the Senate added, “Ojukwu deserved a prominent chapter in the history of Nigeria and no one can deny the fact the he played his role creditably according to the dictates of the time.”

He stressed that Ojukwu on return from exile after the ill-fated 30 months old fratricidal Nigeria/Biafra civil strife organised his people on the need to fully reintegrate into the Nigerian nation state.

“He remains a legend. He was one of the very early fine military officers the nation had. He contributed to the evolution of modern day Nigeria. The nation has lost one of her best. He fought till the end. We shall surely miss him,” Mark stated. Senator Mark urged the bereaved family to take solace in the fact that Ojukwu left positive imprint on the sand of time.

We have finished banning people on this site have we? All day and all Night Ekoile, Bluetooth and Namfav have proved dis is a very useless site.https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-811678.0.html I made several reports but the mods can be bothered becos Awo-fool/OBJ poo is not being insulted.

We can't have the thread cleaned or even offenders warned, 2 morrow u want to talk to people about conduct wen from Site Administrator to Mods all lack conduct or professionalism. 

Well, Nairaland is the shame of Nigeria. Ban me please. EDIIOOOOT!!

One Nigeria my foot. Can't wait for 2015.

A very young Ojukwu dat hastily came to the aid of his people wen dey cried. True Leadership and Heroism is a rare virtue but we Ndiigbo found in this young Army Officer.

Our Pride and hero, we will never forget u sir.

namfav:
it seems people in the east want a repeat of the civil war, ibos dont want to learn, smh
when a baby burns his finger in the fire he gets scared of fire forever, arrogant bastas

U are talkin to ur children, u see how scared we are already. I have even wet myself. U kill us all will u. Since 1900 u have not gone half in ur extermination of the igbo's. I am still waiting my turn.

sheyguy:
what do u mean planned and sustained pogrom? Pogrom was a reaction to act of mass slaughter of top ranking army officers from northern Nigeria. Now i dont think that is a planned event by those involved in the pogrom cos they couldn't have predicted what the igbo army men did to their pple.
A wiseman once said u dont move a car forward while looking backward, anyone who does is an accident waiting to
happen. I will advice pple like u( with only 1 post on nairaland) to stop covering the mistakes of the past from your kinsmen by all means.

Never read so much nonsense in my life. Nyway, the coup was by the Nigeria Army not Igbo's besides in 1948 kaduna was their a coup before Northerners started killing Igbo or today? No. Please try and get some education and stop begging on the streets. 

Ojukwu the most noble of Army Generals. He fought for Justice, Freedom and Love of his people. That love is reciprocated by his people back 2 him. We will be missing u Great Ikemba Ezeigbo. A King has died  

[size=18pt]Ojukwu alive represented the continued rebellion against Nigeria and the Western Allies.(with the exception of France) He gave us reason to believe nothing was lost but all was gained. We never for once wished him death but long life. For as long as he lived Biafra was alive and well.

Ojukwu may have returned to the loving arm of God the Creator, but his legacy is with us any day, any time. We the children of the land of the rising sun will follow his footsteps if and wen the time comes.[/size]  

Even me sef. I go soon start my campaign for IBB 2015.  

I did not want to believe this story but with condolences from the Aso Rock, it final dawn on me that the EAGLE has landed for the final time. RIP Ikemba EzeNdiigbo (Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu)

If the czar of corruption agency can be removed at presidents discretion; how can he/she be able to prosecute corruption originating from the presidency. I think the whole corruption war is a big public relation stunt.

Very true!!

How is dis going to stop crime? This policy will create more criminals. People commit crime becos of lack and unfavourable economic climate.

Fashola was a much better Gov in the first term, really don't know were he got this idea from or wat exactly is the catch.(All politicians are potential Bigots until proven not)

Igbo's lets watch out for our properties.

aribisala0:
you are foaming at the mouth already ?? so early in the day.
okay i have noticed you. but i don't do bitches so take your smelly  overworked yansh somewhere else.
when people are talking tell your mother to close her yansh.
run along
you were boring the last time and i have not changed my mind.learn some new tricks. dat bending over on all fours is a bit hackneyed

woof woof!

Ouch! dat probably hurt u more, exposing your Mother like that. Biatch!!    I told u before, dis is no place to discuss your family issues.

aribisala0:
i am happy to engage with you on issues please see my posts i do NOT like rudeness.

your[b] mother and father [/b]are shallow minded.

LMAO See who is talking!!! Hypocrite.

Do u want to share your family issues today? Don't have any time to spare!! 

Wow, Chime Sulliven is really working hard as the Governor of Enugu and will work even harder as the President come 2015. Lets make it happen people.  

For all those critics talking about rust, it really is not your fault becos u don't know wat a railway track looks like, u probably never seen one in your life.  

Nyway railway track steel only comes to bare becos of wear from train commute as seen in the pic below. Does tracks are very ok, just need the engineers to lay them appropriately.

I hope dey don't go back there. As for NYSC, nobody will be posting me to the  Northern sphere. Igbo's should not be posted there.

They are both lovely but, we have to consider Chika has no hair while Mo has weave.

Well, needed 2 sleep after just 2mins into documentary. Ermm, wat kind of peeps were does? na wa o! I have always said neo-colonial syndrome is the disease Africa suffers. This Sierra Leone is old news becos Libya is even more current. This will just keep happening as the power dat be seek to retain and re-establish imperialism.

Happy Birthday Mr President. Wishin u many more ahead.

[size=14pt]Bafarawa to ACN: You can’t query me[/size]

By Paul Odenyi, Abuja

ACN, a party he sought to fly its flag for the last April Presidential election saying the party no longer serves his needs and those of his supporters, as it is being run by a cabal whose main interest was to amass wealth and power at the detriment of other Nigerians.


For the former Presidential candidate of the Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, the query from his party was insulting and he therefore, resigned.

No surprise there. 

It is on. Good Hunting boyz.

^^Not at all(likewise), I am very much a supporter of the works of social services wen done well. I am a friend of Justice with a good heart, like your white liberals from your previous post, with misplaced loyalty wen their is a miscarriage of justice.  Tell your bosses to release the Musa children they have unlawful impound via Haringey Social services. 

The gravity of the continued illegal detention of those children without concrete incriminating evidence of abuse or negligence on the parental sphere, will be felt in a tsunami wave of international protest and lawsuit via the international community alondside, Nigerian and black community. This will reflect on the cordial diplomatic relations Britain and Nigeria enjoys amongst British reputation worldwide. Nigerians are resilient by nature.

We rejects this imponderable tactics of assimilation for our children that is clearly impalpable.

2morrow dey boast of being billionaires becos of ingenuity and originality. Hilarious!! billionaires on governmental aid.

Is this Amara for real? I find this a tad ridiculous but interesting read.
