ndu_chucks:
The bolded is the more reason why the Army should take over this burial. You people are very shameless and cannot even give the great Ikemba a peaceful sendoff. What a shame!! You and your MASSOB thugs truly belong in jail.

You and your sponsors would serve a 1000 life jail terms first for the Igbo you and your Boko Haram brothers killed just last year alone.
And you will serve it alongside your murderous leaders in Northern Nigeria.

MASSOB and ALL pro-Biafra groups (to my knowledge) has NEVER killed one Nigerian; on the other hand, you have been killing them in Igboland.
Y'all should continue in your stock in trade, but my history tells me that one day, YOU will be running for your life from this same MASSOB people.

ndu_chucks:
Your anger is misdirected, please go and explain where Ohanaeze Ndigbo was when Ikemba was lying ill in London, to Bianca.

You fools want to shamelessly use the burial of Ikemba for political gains and as a tool of actualizing your treasonous goals. That will never happen. The Army will prevent you people from denying the great Ikemba a befitting burial - they already have his body. May the great Ikemba, Eze Ndi Igbo Gburugburu RIP.

Sharrap dia you leprous animal.
You should note my proverb on the first page of this thread. You can take a toy from a child and raise your hands. All the child needs to do is wait you out until you get tired and gravity forces your hands down, and the child will simply reclaim his toy.
MASSOB will likely win this one.
The army will do their thing and go while MASSOB will take over. I even suspect that MASSOB may cause some trouble which would then attract more international attention to their cause. Don't smile to the bank yet.

Let me put alj-harem to rest.

Anambra state is Igboland, and if ever Ndigbo want to secede, we will secede with ALL parts of Anambra state. 
Your twists and attempts to introduce a trojan horse into our discourse will NEVER succeed. It is precisely because of people like you that I sometimes believe that Ndigbo will need to be ready for war, just in case, because frankly that is the ONLY way to reason with people like[b] alj-harem[/b]. 

The Great Nri Priest, ana m ekene! Ezigbo nwa Umuoji!

AK47 nwa Nnewi ibem, ana m ekene!

Y'all are killing me with laughter here. hehe!  

It is sad how human beings can twist out of form just because of earthly possessions.  

Umu Anambra will NEVER EVER deny being Igbo even if literal heaven is discovered there.

Anyi bu umu Igbo kpom kwem.  

ndu_chucks

Thunder fire your mouth for repeating that nonsense that the Great Lion of Biafra should be buried in some obscure Zungeru, in the same land of people who killed 30,000 innocent Igbo and Easterners in 1966, spinning off the chain of events that led to Biafra and the war.
You lot are nothing more than vultures sneaking around trying to steal everything you can from us. Let's see how you pull this one off.

Where were you when Ikemba was lying ill in London?
Now, you want to steal his corpse. May amadioha visit you with more leprosy.

PointB:
Really it's not a big deal if NA accords the late Ojukwu full rights as one of their own. He was indeed one of their own, as exceptional as he was. He worked for it and has earned in his time as a Nigeria soldier, governor of eastern region, and as a leader of the Biafran Nation.

But that said, it is not also wrong for MASSOB to participate in the burial. Secessionists are not criminals, and MASSOB peaceful agitation should not be a cause for worry for anyone who truly believes in justice and peace.

I see a parallel between MASSOB, Save Nigeria Group, and the Occupy Movement - they all want justice and progressive development for their constituency. Agitating peacefully for a separate country for Igbos and like culture/minded tribes that may be interested in joining them should actually be seen as opportunity to restructure Nigeria for fairness, equity and progress.

I think Nigeria Government should not limit her collaboration with MASSOB to the burial, but should cease the opportunity to open dialogue and negotiation with MASSOB with the aim of addressing their concern. Today we have a peace loving group, tomorrow may be too late! Ojukwu's burial is a golden opportunity to open up a communications channel with them before the go gaga!

One Nigeria at all cost is a very costly and unproductive venture. The past 50 years is enough evidence of such.


And to the two-faced hypocrite who celebrated when they thought government will not honour Ojukwu's burial only to turn around to cheer the NA involvement in the funeral, I say shame on you! You have no principle, and are very sad losers!

My name is Onlytruth, and I endorse this message!

ayodele123:
Ojukwu was a hero
He remains a hero in my own heart.
He is dead now but alive in my heart and in the hearts of millions who appreciated him.
He will never be forgotten for the role he played to protect his people from extermination in the post 1966 Coup events that led to the Nigerian Civil war.
Unfortunately, his own kinsmen, the Ibos do not appreciate the sacrifices he made to save them from destruction and genocide.
Ojukwu, may your soul rest in peace.
You played your part very well and did what was right and perfect in the circumstances that you were faced with in 1966.

May God bless you and your family, my "brother in truth".

This is for ALL umu Igbo and Nigerians (for as long as the country continues to exist).

[size=14pt]Please no insults @all.[/size]

Again like others have already said, until we umu igbo start to see the impact in Onitsha, we are not rejoicing yet.
ALL Igbo states are rich and if we pull our resources together, we will build the East to attract our people back to the East.

This is where I leave the thread for now.

Signing off,

Onlytruth, ndu di n'eziokwu 1 of Igboland, Eze Ndigbo Nairaland. 

wesley80:
This move has sanity written all over it. If he's a Nigerian hero as most seem to agree why allow his burial rites to be handled by a group of clandestine disorganized separatist? IMO,[b] this is the ultimate honour Nigeria can grant the former rebel leader. [/b]Anything less would have made a mockery of the pardon he received and the accolades from all quarters that followed his death.

If you believe that this is aimed at stopping only MASSOB, then you may have missed part of the deal.
Methinks that this is meant to prevent ALL separatists from taking advantage of Ojukwu's burial to make hay.
This has LITTLE to do with honoring Ojukwu. It is a preemptive strike against separatism. There is an ongoing contest for the Igbo soul.
Those doing this will have to do much more than this to pull the Igbo back into Nigeria.

ranlaen:
Anyone actually knows how much oil there is before you start  hailing a new dawn.
The last 3 states to join oil producing are not pumping out much at all compared to what states like delta and bayelsa are doing.
I think the onshore oil is not really that much as compared to the offshore.

The last time I read about it, it was about  1billion barrels. I believe it is big enough to warrant the private refinery.
I think that offshore produces more because there are less environmental and community interferrence in the process, not necessarily because the reserves are more.

pazienza:
Eze,is that really possible? I mean the shifting oil stuff, tapping of oil in igboland from other lands.

I read it somewhere. It was a scientific article. If I see it again I will post the link.
Doesn't it even make sense explaining how suddenly our land is experiencing all these erosions?
These erosions weren't there before. Did they fall from Mars?
Something fishy is going on, and knowing how irresponsible our Igbo leaders are, anything is possible, believe me!

Asaba is one of the most important part of Igboland. All these mischievious gimmicks by oafs can never hoodwink us umu Igbo. We are waiting for anybody that will mess with our land. Nuff said.

This move has IBB written all over it.

Love aboki, hate aboki; aboki is still the savviest political animal in Nigeria -by far.

I knew that they (through the army) would do something like this-basically kill two birds with one stone: (1) claim Ojukwu as theirs, and (2) deny MASSOB an opportunity to shine in the limelight which may even enable them to garner some international clout through contacts with foreign visitors.

I started smelling a rat when[b] ndu_chucks[/b] put up a thread here asking that Ojukwu be buried in Zungeru, Northern Nigeria.

Well, o ji ihe nwata welie aka ya elu, emechaa aka egbube ya, owetuo aka ya! FACT.  

phreakabit:
Honestly I must say, in as much as this is good GREAT news, we have only succeeded in giving the abokis ONE more reason to hold on tighter to the fraud that is one Nigeria.

Bros, I tell you, if Nigeria is coming apart, nothing on earth can stop it.
Do you really think they didn't know all these while. Frankly I blame our politicians and leaders for allowing this cheating to go on.
They are ALREADY tapping this oil from the ocean. Our leaders keep quiet while our lands are ravaged by erosion.
Believe me, the greatest thing is that this is blown wide open for all of us to see the truth.
It won't stop our leaving if we are determined to leave.

^^

hehehe! 

na nukular attack be dat one

PROUD-IGBO:
^^^The answer to your questions are not far fetched. Just look at what's happening in other oil producing states for answers. If Anambra is going to be 'oil producing' like Abia and Imo states are presently, then there's not much to get excited about; i suppose it's all down to the production quota given, that will determine what Anambra gets at the end of the day.

On the issue of fast-tracked development: (assuming for instance Anambra gets an extra N300 Billion annually) it would be down to the State Gov't of the day to utilise said funds as prudently and effectively as possible for adequate transformation to be achieved. And this is where the need to elect credible/visionary leaders (in the legislature as well as executive) comes into play.

Our representatives at the centre MUST look into this 'OIL' thing (including the purported ones in Ebonyi and Enugu) and if found in commercial quantities, DEMAND that our people start seeing  immediate, fair and equitable benefits for what God has blessed them with.

May Amadioha strike all the Scum that may have known of the availability of vast quantities of oil in the South East , but deliberately decided to ignore it just so those 'okoros' don't prosper Angry. This was the wickedness they had in mind when the carved out my place (Ndoni) and Egbema, and put us in Rivers so Ndigbo don't get what is deservedly theirs.

My brother, I am really beginning to think that we Ndigbo are yet to understand how wicked some Nigerians can be.
Don't be surprised that past presidents knew about all these oil fields in Igboland and simply sat on the files, hoping to tap it from the ocean floors. There was a report on why there is deep gully erosion in Igboland pointing at this possible link between shitfing oil and the erosion.
So, they tap this oil elsewhere, our lands are devastated, we get the least federal allocation and everybody sings kumbaya and One Nigeria!
If we raise a voice, they call us names, or even kill us.

Our leaders are sooooooooooooooo dumb and too clueless.
The level of wickedness I have seen from fellow Nigerians on this site since I come here has opened my eyes in a very big way.

We the youths of Igboland must chase PDP out of our land because they are directly responsible for the continuation of this cheating.
Methinks that this refinery in Anambra is because the governor is APGA. He is not under PDP control.  Notice that the whole thing is almost purely private capital. No federal support. I strongly suspect that if Enugu and Ebonyi were under APGA, they would have started tapping their own oil wealth too.

Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria! Na wa o!

@Topic

The Easterners will bury their son. Delta state is already represented by the Ohanaeze President.
And so it shall be.

Sis[b] Bliss4lyfe[/b] is that your mouth in your profile picture? All I can say is damn!

chillbabe:
They should bury this man already

Na ya papa dem dey chase for dat ya profile picture? lol

^^

My sister Blis4lyfe no dey laff lai lai.

One_Naira:
Exactly until then SE should keep everything resourceful about their states hidden.
Some of una praising over Anambra joining oil-producing states and clamoring for Enugu joining it, should take a very close look at oil-producing states in Nigeria.
Do una really wish that for SE?

I'm not so sure o
Especially when some desert people will claim more population and steal the thing through federal allocation.

Beaf:
Long, but informative read.
The SS welcomes the SE to the resource control train. Our interpretation is unambiguous, so should yours.

My brother we always support resource control anyway, whether we have oil or not. We fiercely hate injustice.
Our history is clear on that, from support for resource control to support for removal of subsidy.
No shaking!

One_Naira:
very very bad decision if una ask me oo!!!

SE learn from SS.
Oil brings problem, hide your sh1t.
Don't display it in this country.

My broda I hear you o. Nigeria and justice are mutually exclusive. They are like oil and water.
That is why it must be negotiated and settled so that we can move on as one, or disintegrate so that everybody will answer his own name.

The fact is that current system must cease to exist. ASAP.

That triangle is a security risk, because anyone can hide there to launch an attack on visitors. No stone should be left unturned to ensure a peaceful and succeessful event.

Good. I'm happy that Igboland is finally showing her wealth. Soon it would be Enugu and Ebonyi.
Basically ALL Igbo states are rich in oil. I hope that is finally laid to rest.

What type of a country is Nigeria?
I've often said it that oil in Igboland may have been flowing down south leading to the erosion, while we received nothing from it.
I don't think that Ndigbo understand the level of wickedness in that country.
Everything is deliberately distorted and hidden just to deny us our rights.

My honest hope is that after the burial of Ojukwu, that Ndigbo will sit down to SERIOUSLY agree on (or address) what to do about MASSOB and its tactics.

This struggle is too important to be left for the Uwazuruike types of Igboland.
I still hope that either MASSOB changes strategy, or they should leave Igboland/be disbanded or something.

We don' t need backdoors through which mass murderers enter Igboland to destroy our ability to fight (if necessary) for our own emancipation.

jason123:
I'll have to say this; I commend the Ndigbo for being patient and long-suffering. Not many ethnic groups would have done what our south-eastern brothers have done. That is a plus to them. Knowing the ND or SW, Core-Northerners would have been roasted in these regions even though, most Northerners (including the Core) are not in support of BH's activities.

With that said, I'll have to say that this Uwazuruike is an unserious man who lacks rationality.
Take a look at this nonsense he is spewing:

Does he think the ND would take sides?? I have had this discussion before on this site. There are Ijaws, Yorubiod groups, Igbobiod groups, Edoid groups, Calabars, Efiks and so on in the ND. Even the Ijaws have not beaf with anyone as there are western and eastern Ijaws. This man wants to divide the south and that my friends would be dangerous. When I see the PDP agents on this site spewing crap about how the ND would follow any group and do this and that, I can't help but laugh at their ignorance. These people have successfully deceived people with euphoric dreams and the undiscerning minds have drank the lies poured out by their forked-tougue(except from Chyz* who saw what others could not see).

Well, to finish it off, Ndigbo please this man might lead you to trouble one day. His choice of words are uncalled for. You know your "enemies" (if you indeed have any because as far as I am concerned, you have NO ENEMY. Some people are simply trying to make you fight a war that is not yours) and restrict your "anger" at your "enemies".

Ndigbo are not fools and will NEVER fight a stupid war. What is history for if not to help a rational person to make a better decision when similar events show up. I am personally angry (and I represent the voice of sane Igbo) that the man has shown clearly that he does not think strategically at all. It pains me to say this, but I am almost sure that those young men following Uwazuruike in MASSOB may be thinking that he has some realistic plans to actualize Biafra. Everything he says in this interview shows he has NONE.
Ndigbo are arguably the most capable group in Nigeria, so, it is insulting that a man without any rational plans is trying to lead us into a repeat of history.
This will NEVER happen.
I have personally notice (Since!) that Biafra is used as an instrument of blackmail against us by groups in the south. That is part why I adopted my own belief that Ndigbo can stay in Nigeria (even as is!). All we need to do is change our mindset about how we live in the North.
We need a new leader in Igboland that will help bring about this change of mindset. Uwazuruike is only right on the issue of violence, which BTW he needs to renounce his crazy non-violence crap that destroys the Igbo fighting/warlike spirit.
These days I cannot even recognize my brothers in Nigeria.
That is part of why we have lost our voice in the scheme of things.

Obiagu1:
My support ended after fuel subsidy saga.

Anyway, from what I observed, every agitation from down South starts and ends with resource control and not proper restructuring of the country. Glad that someone like Oritsejafor called for SNC too. It pisses me off when someone that's suppose to understand that Nigeria handed over to us by the Whites and the Military is not working will choose to play politics instead.

I noticed the same thing too.
It is selfish and recidivistic. What we need is total transformation that deals with all vexing issues. Nigeria's problem does not begin and end with resource control.
Anyway, we are watching to see his next moves, but our eyes are opening more and more.
