You critics and haters are actually the butt of the joke for you lack English comprehension and are unable to dicipher sophistry in Patience Jonathan's linguistic prowess. She said "''Today is world aids day, and all of us have AIDS only that some people are positive while others are negative!"

olodos, do you know that "aids" also mean "to provide support for or relief to" ? Did it occur to you that she was refering to the meaning of 'aid' I just posted, when she was talking of positive aid? You all should leave Madam alone and get a life. Most of you don't know the difference between aides, aids, and AIDS virus, much more how to spell the words. Okwute Palestinian piafuka gi isi (all of una).

Ojukwu may be seen as a hero to the Igbo, but that's it. To everyone else, he's just another prominent Nigerian that just away.

Why English language is so complex,and does change all the time?

What you just said is what I was trying to pull out of the mouth of some of the people who are posting here, particularly muyoto who seems to believe that the request for state burial is a formal one by Igbo people.

[b]The former President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr Dozie Ikedife, who spoke on behalf of Southeast elders, [/b]insisted that the national honour must come before Ojukwu’s burial, adding that such recognition coming after his burial will be unacceptable to Ndigbo.

PointB:
The real question is: Is Nigeria a state?
Can you give what you don't have?

Can a " a mere geographical expression" be qualified as a state?

Nigeria is a failed state, anything is touches turns to dust, Ojukwu is better off embalmed in Biafra.

Neither Ojukwu nor Igbos asked [/b]for any state burial.Any abuja offer of state burial will be rejected by the Igbo.Ojukwu will get state burial in Biafraland.

THE President has been urged to approve state burial for Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the Igbo leader who died in London on Saturday.

[b]Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, who visited the Presidential Villa in Abuja Monday night, according to sources, told Dr Goodluck Jonathan that “given the stream of tributes for Ojukwu,” the ex-Biafran leader should get a state burial.

Obi, who officially informed the President of Ojukwu’s death, also thanked him for his concern throughout the 11-month period of Ojukwu’s illness, it was learnt.

Besides, the request for a state funeral, there is also a demand for a posthumous national honour for the late Ojukwu.

I don't understand, who requested state burial in the first place, and why?

Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, who visited the Presidential Villa in Abuja Monday night, according to sources, told Dr Goodluck Jonathan that “given the stream of tributes for Ojukwu,” the ex-Biafran leader should get a state burial.
