UKPABI ASIKA THE GREAT! By Emeka Obasi No individual did more for the Igbo after the genocidal Civil War than Ajie Ukpabi Asika, a First Class Economist produced by the University of Ibadan, who was appointed Administrator of East Central State in 1967. Strangely, those who should praise him only remember that he did not support Biafra. Asika and his wife, Chinyere, returned from the United States with chains of University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) degrees and settled down to work at the University of Ibadan. By 1966, they had moved to Tanzania and later Zambia. It took another Economist, Dr. Adebayo Adedeji, to recommend Ajie to Gowon through Col. Olu Obasanjo. He was the only civilian among the twelve new governors. Had Gowon appointed a Federal officer to administer the East, perhaps everything Biafra would have been completely destroyed. Asika behaved like a statesman. He welcomed and rehabilitated all those that were on the Biafran side and put their ingenuity to good use. Those who fuelled inventions through Research And Production (RAP) got a new agency, Project Development Agency (PRODA) headed by one of the brains behind Ogbunigwe, Gordian Ezekwe. The ECS cabinet had an array of achievers, carefully selected. There was Ukwu I. Ukwu, with PhD, Cantab. Samuel Ikoku, Economist, politician and University lecturer, Charles Abangwu, former Deputy Speaker, Eastern Region House of Assembly, Magnus Adiele, another University teacher and Dan Ibekwe, lawyer, former Federal minister, also made it. Flora Nwapa, novelist and University administrator, joined Philip Nnaemeka Agu, a lawyer, Martin Elechi a former District Officer (DO), Dan Njemanze, another lawyer, Osita Okeke, Zackhaeus Dibiaezue, and Anthony Ofo - Mogboh, to move the new state to greater heights. They were supported by Chu Okongwu, Vincent Aniago and Innocent Nwoga, among others. Mike Ibekwe was commissioner for Police. Eric Obianwu was commissioner for Works and housing Prof LO Obibiaku was commissioner for agriculture. Dan Ibekwe was commissioner for justice and attorney general. Askia facilitated the appointment of NU Akpan as pro chancellor of the university of Nigeria immediately after the war......Akpan was the then secretary to the government of Biafra. Reginald Chukwura was the super permanent secretary. What many did not know was that before the war ended, Asika moved swiftly to secure Igbo investments across the nation. He was successful in the West, in Kano, in Ilorin but Port Harcourt gave him so much headache. Rivers State governor, Alfred Papapreye Diette - Spiff, hardened his heart and supported what became known as Abandoned Property. It was sad that Spiff who attended St. Joseph's College, Sasse Buea, Western Cameroon, did not consider men like Prof.Theodore Okeahialam and his brother, Heron, who also passed out from the same school, before him. Heron was the Engineer behind Radio Biafra, who made the world believe that the studio was in Enugu all through the war. Fact is, he moved the station round. At a time, signals came from a palm tree in Otulu, Ahiara, Mbaise. Prof. Okeahialam did not only head the Biafran Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre in Libreviile, Gabon, he pioneered inventions. Biafran doctors produced Kwashiorkor Mixture for malnourished children, a formula later adopted by the World Health Organisation. F. Udekwu and David Nwafor used fresh coconut as intravenous fluids to treat wounded soldiers. Nelly Obiayo separated Siamese twins. Humphrey Anyanwu did well with surgery. In 1974, Anyanwu and Nwafor had jobs at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Enugu. They performed two major heart surgeries with Egyptian turned Briton, Bagdi Yacoub. Asika did not like the unforgiving spirit of Spiff. The Amanyanabo of Bonny, William Dappa Pepple, was exiled, for following Gen. Emeka Ojukwu to one of the Peace Meetings in Addis Ababa, in 1968. The king lived in Enugu. Ojukwu was worried but relief came when Asika found a place for Pepple in Aba, nearer home. He died there in 1972. Today his son, Asimini Dappa People III, sits on the throne as Perekule XI, Amanyanabo of Bonny. Asika had the most efficient Civil Service in the country, that applied IBM computers through the Eastern Data Processing Centre, manned by Dr. Ofia Nwali and supervised by Ukwu I. Ukwu. Scholarships to Europe, America and other parts of Nigeria were awarded and handled perfectly. In Sports, Asika was excellent. Enugu Rangers remain the first Nigerian team to become double champions. This was achieved in 1974. That foundation also makes the Flying Antelopes the only club to have won the Challenge Cup three times consecutively. East Central State Academicals lifted the Manuwa/ Adebajo Cup in 1971. East Central State Spartans grabbed soccer gold at the First National Sports Festival, Lagos 1973 and retained it in 1975. Rangers had won the first league, the Amachree Cup, although informally, in 1971. All the players and managers of these teams were Biafran combatants. Coach Dan Anyiam, was Brigade Major of the 60 Brigade that fought gallantly in Oguta. Skipper Godwin Achebe was at the School of Infantry. Godwin Ogbueze was a teenage commando, just like Dominic Nwobodo. Patrick Ekeji moved from the Air Force to Army Signals. Emma Okala and Christian Chukwu, fought as well. Nwabueze Nwankwo was tough in the Mid - West. Today's leaders would have distanced themselves from Biafrans who painted Asika in bad light. Ajie welcomed them with open arms and was the one who coined the phrase, No Victor , No Vanquished. He visited fellow governors, to be sure that harm did not befall returnee Ndigbo. I got chatting recently with multi talented Obi Asika, Ajie's son who has continued from where his father stopped. The Junior Asika is into music, soccer, administration, name it. He said : "No Victor, No Vanquished was actually a book written by Ajie. He also negotiated General Amnesty for Biafran soldiers and kept almost everyone out of prison. There is a road named after him in Kano, and another in Ilorin, for his work of rehabilitating the Igbo, securing their property and giving them a way back. I celebrate him every day." Some of the Biafran officers who were in detention beyond Asika's tenure, were set free in August 1975 by Murtala Mohammed. They included 1966 coup plotters, Humphrey Chukwuma, who remained in Biafran detention through out the war and Ganiyu Adeleke, who commanded the Biafran School of Infantry after he was injured in battle. Peter Adomokai, Aide de Camp to David Ejoor was an Instructor at the School of Infantry. There was also the soldier, Peter Odili. Both men were not in detention. Benneth Ochei was also set free alongside, Ojukwu's aide, Kanayo Esinulo, who was whisked away from the Lagos Airport, on his way to Frankfurt, by security operatives, on August 23, 1973. Prof. Ken Post who once lectured at the University of Ibadan told Esinulo that Asika "was one of the most brilliant students I ever taught in all my teaching career." Ajie founded the ECS Writers Workshop and loved Arts and Entertainment. At the First National Festival of Ars and Culture, his state emerged tops. Nkpokiti dancers were also spectacular, globally. Born in Barkin Ladi and moulded at St. Patrick's College, Calabar and Edo College, Benin, the Umuezearoli, Onitsha man explored the world and brought his experience home. Asika married Chinyere, whose dad was the super public servant, Nathan Ejiogu of Egbu, Owerri. Her sister, Kema Chikwe, became a Federal minister. South - East governors need to be schooled about what Ajie Anthony Ukpabi Asika( Dona Meche ) did for the Geo Political Zone.

Kukukillus:My brother no talk too much before dem go accuse you of de marketing their Nigeria. |
jmoore:Ha Nigerians , what a people..make una wait oo, had it been Nigeria appointed an Igbo man as Chief of Army staff during the War do you think Nigeria will win that war? Nigeria knows too well that the number one problem in the land is insecurity and we know the tribe responsible, Fulani, yet, the Minister of Defense is Fulani, the Minister of State for Defense Fulani, the NSA is Fulani tell me, how una wan take stop the madness, well what do I know, after all the main problem is now in Sokoto prison Atleast the lovers of Nigeria in the west can now sleep in peace . |
SJMag1:So what happened to state policing? This country is not serious at all...The first step to solving this insecurity is to approve the state policing idea, then every other thing can follow |
Fireboy02:Go back in two days you will hear they have been transfered to Abuja |
Truths9ja:If Nigeria does not arrest this character then I know that we are not serious..This man is doing all he can to stamp out the terrorist tag on Fulanis. Besides how did he know the head count and who is who |
Bendeco02:Don't mind him, he is sitting from the comfort of Lagos to be typing and supporting rubbish and evil not knowing how close the same evil is to him, travel you say no, visit your village you say no, take good side you'd at no |
adenigga:Fulani on the offensive now,they have started their usual truth offensive, the next objective is to direct their Yoruba m dia stooge to stop giving the man media attention with threat and those cowards in their usual style of seeing cowardice as sophistication will oblige , then they send their attack dogs to go after him and when he resist they send their Yoruba stooges once more this time the ones wearing white wigs to brand him a terrorist and sentence him to death, then pay their blind folks here on Nairaland crumbs with our dated laptop to come and tell us how foolish the man was and how he is enjoying watery beans in Ibadan prison whereas IjebunOde is on the run, Kwara is gone , Kogi is under threat Ondo no more sleep and the rest stooges are in Lagos typing trash with just thirty thousand naira while their grand parents are living in refugee camps |
Goodmarlian:Let them hasten up and do their worst..my people say, the ear that refuse to listen to advice will go with the head when chopped off |
gidgiddy:Don't mind the pathetic fellow |
Cj4charles:Non of the above, meanwhile, Nnamdi Kanu are some people's problem |
VOsimhen144:While his Kinsmen are denying the old woman it takes another person from the south to show kindness to a woman who come from a region infested with demons who don't care even if she is killed, they will just shout ahh ahh ahh and that's the end |
ottersberger:Personally I will vote Tinubu if he releases Kanu, i might insult Tinubu here on Nairaland just to exchange words with his worthless tribes men in this forum but from the bottom of my heart I know too well that Tinubu is not the cos of Nigerian problem, the Fulanis are and anyone holding a contrary view is only to me not being truthful or don't know Nigerian history. |
O trutharena:But the Operation Python dance was lawful, the Emene massacar was lawful, the Obigbo massacar was lawful, the Fulani killings at Orlu that lead to the Orlu crisis which the Army came and took sides with the Fulani is lawful, the Nsukka Fulani invasion where the Army also came to take sides as usual is also lawful, the Truimp rally massacar is also lawful to you. One thing is sure and one thing is certain, all those who support this evil in Nigeria will in one way or the other revive their own dose of it...Kwara gone, Niger gone, Kogi half gone , Ondo on the raider, Ekitu on the Raider, we are watching |
Afriifa:Why will dey bomb them when they are not IPOB? Besides this news will be er attract the Ronu noise makers attention as far as it's not Igbo |
Ikaeniyan0:My friend stop being unreasonable , ask your FG why did they drop the charges against the head of Myrtle Allah? Ask your FG how come the Fulani terrorist group that have massacred more than 100,000 Nigerians non have been brought to face OMOTOSHO by your so called DSS...Why are you negotiating with Killers while those seeking self determination are being treated like terrorist...you Nigerians are the worst set of humans to work the face of the earth. |
masterfactor:Why will I cry when I know your case is not better than that of Kanu...The Fulanis are holding your grand mother in Kwara go and bail her first. |
The so called judgement as read by injustice OMOTOSHO has once again proven to Nigerians and the free world world on the kind of criminal justice system practices in this country. If not for anything I take exception to the case of Ahmed Gulak..Saying and convincing Kanu for the death of Gulak alone call to scrutiny on the uprightness of this Kangaroo Judgement. Ahmed Gulak was killed in Imo state and his death is politically motivated for all those who are familiar with that saga can allude to the fact to the actual truth behind that man's death..Since Injustice OMOTOSHO was quoting Kanu verbatim from his Radio Biafran broadcasted,he would have been more Honourable to quote Kanu when he explicitly said that he has no issues with Gulak, he has not met him before and has no reason to kill him, Kanu went as far as publishing documents and playing a secret phone conversation that incriminated those that has a hand on his death, he mentioned names so, will Injustice OMOTOSHO deny that he didn't hear about that ? The IMO state police command responded Immediately by shooting to dead three young men from MBAISE whom they claimed killed Gulak without proper investigation , interrogation before any court of competent Jurisdiction, they just hurriedly concluded that they are IPOB members and the next thing is they showed us their corpse and concluded it's IPOB...Even the DSS withess did say that he didn't handle the investigation but rellied on that same biased Police investigation and admitted same as an evidence, what a Judiciary. |
