Rocky Johnson (who was one of my least favourite wrestlers) married Afa and Sika's cousin, Ata Maivia and they gave birth to Dwayne Johnson (aka Rocky Maivia or The Rock).

Which one?
Here's a chance to see Yokozuna when he was younger.

The first members of the family that I knew were the famous Wild Samoans (Afa and Sika). They fought in the IWA in the late '70s and early '80s. Then I also got to know Jimmy Supafly Snuka and Rocky Johnson who fought in the NWA and WWF.

Here's an IWA match in which Yokozuna (then known as Kokina) accompanied his uncle, Afa and his cousin Samu to the ring.

Scroll up. I've added two posts and several pictures from my diary. Jimmy "Supafly" Snuka is my favourite member of the family.

You missed one.

He is from a family of legendary wrestlers. I posted this earlier this year.

naptu2:
They were the first members of the family that I knew.

Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) is one of their nephews, Rocky Johnson is their in-law (he is actually Dwayne Johnson's father) and Yokozuna and Fatu/Rikishi are also their relatives. The great Supafly Jimmy Snuka is also their in-law.

Ozubulu: Police invite Ikegwuonu

On August 16, 2017. 4:31am

*44 victims get cash relief
*As diocese sets up casualty charity fund c’ttee
*Investigation on killings ‘ll be thorough — Obiano

By Vincent Ujumadu, Chimaobi Nwaiwu & Edokwe Onyinyechi


Nnewi—THE Anambra State Police Command has invited Chief Aloysius Ikegwuonu, who suspected assailants were said to be looking for when they attacked St Philip’s Catholic Church, Amakwa Ozubulu penultimate Sunday.

Ozubulu church

Ikegwuonu’s father was among the 13 people who lost their lives during the attack in which nearly 30 people were wounded.

Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in Anambra State, Mrs. Nkiru Nwode, said, yesterday, that Ikegwuonu, popularly called ‘Bishop’, is expected to appear at the police headquarters in Awka on Friday.

Ikegwuonu, who left the state before the attack on the church he built for his community, was said to have returned to the state last Saturday and attended the first Mass at St Philip’s on Sunday. He declined to speak to anybody after the church service in which the Secretary to the Anambra State Government, SSG, Professor Solo Chukwulobelu, also attended as part of a ceremony to reopen the church.

Nwode said the invitation to Ikegwuonu could not be taken to mean arrest, adding that the police had no reason to arrest him.


44 victims get cash relief

This came as Catholic Diocese of Nnewi, yesterday, set up a 10-man Ozubulu Casualty Charity Fund Committee to handle the welfare of the victims of the attack.

Meanwhile, 44 victims of the attack were, yesterday, given N50,000 each at various hospitals they were admitted including Nnewi, Ozubulu and Oba, by the diocese to alleviate their problems .

Members of the committee are Monsignor Patrick Ezeobata, chairman; Rev Fr Jude Onwuaso; Rev Fr Donald Chukwudolue; Rev Fr Joe Onyema; Fr Cajetan Obodozie; Brother Cyprian Oneni; Sister Theresa Martin; Mrs Juliana Arazu; Mrs Uju Azuka and Dr Sylvester Igwilo.

Catholic Bishop of Nnewi Diocese, Most Rev Hilary Odili Okeke, said the committee would visit all the victims in different hospitals to know their needs with a view to offering a helping hand to all of them. Okeke disclosed that the committee has the mandate to ensure that every help provided by groups and individuals to the victims would be deposited into a central account called Ozubulu Casualty Charity Fund provided by the committee. He said: “Many people and groups in the church are helping the victims. The state government has promised to pay into that account. These people eat and that is why we give them money. The families of the dead will not be forgotten and the committee was also charged to be accountable in the discharge of its duties.”

Reacting to Ozubulu Youths Association, OYA, protest over the reopening of the church for service, while investigation is still being conducted, Bishop Okeke queried whether the protesters were Christians at all.

“If those protesters are Christians, they should not complain because they should know that we have to continue to worship God in every situation.”


Investigation on killings ‘ll be thorough— Obiano

Also yesterday, Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State assured Ndi Anambra that his administration will leave no stone unturned at ensuring prompt prosecution of those behind the killing of innocent worshippers at Ozubulu.

The governor gave the assurance during a re-dedication and blessing of the church last Sunday by the Catholic Bishop of Nnewi Diocese, Most Rev. Okeke. The governor, who was represented by Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, sympathised with the families of those who died in the incident as well as those that sustained injuries.

He assured them that Anambra State Government would do everything possible to ensure that they obtain justice over the matter.

Naptu2
Looks like the Iddo end of Carter Bridge. You can see Independence Building and that other tall building (I think it's Western House) across the water. The road on the mainland side still looks like this but there's also a flyover that leads to Eko Bridge/Ijora Causeway.
