ogwanogwa:
She remains Bianca Ojukwu

RedboneSmith:
Get them fantastic jobs where? Ojukwu's name is not a door opener in this country, except in a very small and non-affluent section of it. The name is still very much linked with sectionalism and seccession/treachery to be of any use to anyone who wants to get ahead. Small wonder that the Ojukwu family in Asaba changed its name to Damasus to escape the stigma.

RedboneSmith:
There's an Ojukwu Transport Company Limited?

I didn't know that. Who has seen their buses? Do they have a park in Enugu or Onitsha?

Valro:
We Igbos and pulling our own down mentality

rhythyson:
You see why Nigerians can never have peace?

What is wrong if someone from Anambra represent Enugu state in the senate? Is it not for the same developmental issues?

Is this how the Igbos want to get Biafra?

If Anambra person can not represent Enugu then how are they going to leave in peace in Biafra

I wonder i just wonder!!!!

Just my opinion anyway

Ojukwu Transport company used to be the biggest private Transport company in Nigeria. They had buses, trailers and even vans. They were really big in the 40's, 50's and 60's. It was owned by Ojukwu father, Sir Louis Philip Ojukwu, who was one of the richest men in Africa.

Igbos are too nepotistic, tribalistic
& jingoistic in orientation.

In America, the Bushes are originally from
Texas, a son, George Bush (later became president)
was governor in Texas while his younger brother, Jeb Bush was governor in Florida, at the same time!!!

Obama is from Hawaii but adopted
Illinois ( with Chicago as capital) as his
State & represented Illinois as a Senator
of the US.

Namadi Sambo, GEJ's VP & former gov of
Kaduna State is from Edo; he also enjoyed
Bauchi state scholarship to univuniversity
as an undergraduate (when his dad was transferred
there from Zaria, as a railway worker).
Shekarau, two time gov of Kano is from Bornu.

In fact El-Rufai of Kaduna state is said to
be a settler Yoruba.

Igbo people are members of State Houses
Of Assembly in the North & Lagos state.

Igbos are members of Parliament in the
United Kingdom.

Yet, a fellow Igbo woman, who has spent
over 30yrs in, & dedicated her life to Anambra, a former
Ambassador of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, married with children to an Igbo leader,
legend & hero ( from Anambra), is being discriminated against because she is not an Anambra Igbo.

Yet you talk of Biafra..

Ogini?
Maninini??
Kilodé

Una Wahala never start.
Una never wakeup.
Una still dey suffer from war hangover.

Igbo must start loving one another &
see themselves as one people, one destiny.


Tufiakwa!!.!!



Meanwhile, I give her my blessings
to go forward, win & represent her
ungrateful, adopted ppl, with patriotism & distinction,
devoid of bitterness or black belle...

Psoul:
Igbos are the real democrats. They don't care weda u are their brother, sister or father. Once the idea is against the general interest, they will turn their back against you.
That is why this country, Nigeria, will never be better than what it is now until an Igbo man takes the mantle of her leadership.

CAVEAT: U are very much free not to accept the the above. I don't care.

OreMI22:
Actually Ojukwu's children are one of the disastrous things that happened to the great Ikemba. Especially that really fat one that was Nnewi LGA caretaker chairman when Peter Obi appointed him after so many years of being jobless.

If Ojukwu's kids were hardworking at all, just their last name will get them fantastic jobs or help whatever company they float to be very successful.

BY CHARLES KUMOLU

The senatorial ambition of the wife of the late Biafra warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu- Ojukwu, yesterday, faced a major setback as some members of the Ojukwu family vowed not to support her even if she emerged the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA.

In an interactive session with newsmen, Dr. Ike Ojukwu, who is one of the directors of Ojukwu Transport Company Limited, OTL, said it was wrong to allow a woman from Ngwo in Enugu State to represent Anambra South Senatorial District.

He said: “Is she from Nnewi? She is from Ngwo in Enugu State. I would prefer someone who is a son of the soil, and because I come from Nnewi, I would like an Nnewi indigene to represent us.”

On his part, Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu Jnr said: “She is apparently coming out on the platform of APGA and that is APGA’s business. They can decide on whoever they want to bring out. That should not be my business but I find it curious that they want somebody from Enugu State to represent us in Anambra South.

“This is a young woman, who was supposedly married to my late father. A young woman who could remarry tomorrow maybe from Abia State or later from Sokoto State. And they want her to represent us. I wonder if there are no other people in Anambra South, who can represent us.

“Has anybody asked Odimegwu household whether we believe in her to represent us? This is a woman we don’t interact with. She doesn’t talk to us. She can’t have access to our property She can’t cross our gate in the village. She doesn’t associate with the members of the family.

“There are certain questions that should have been asked before moving in that particular direction. Like I said, APGA is free to field whoever they want to field. I know that APC is trying to field a very credible candidate and when we get to the field of justice we will see what happens.”

Also speaking, a legal practitioner Chief Debe Odimegwu Ojukwu, said: “As a lawyer, I would say no. why I said no is that there are so many marriages, even when you look at Nollywood, there are many marriages everyday but that does not make it legal.

“Why I am arguing this is because there was a woman my father married in a court, and that marriage was never nullified, and my training as a lawyer tells me that when there is a subsisting marriage, subsequent marriage or attempt at marriage becomes null and void.”

goaldynboy:
Bianca has every right to contest for Anambra Senatorial post because she was married to an Anambra man, late Ikemba Ojukwu!

It is as well understandable that Ojukwu's sons are not supporting her political ambition. There was already an ingrained malice and dispute in their family which emanated when the Will of Ojukwu was read and it was discovered that Late Ojukwu willed virtually all his properties to Bianca! So you don't expect the sons to be nice to her!

What I'm trying to say is that the peculiar condition of Late Ojukwu family does not warrant you to generalize it as the character of all Igbos!

RedboneSmith:
Yeah yeah, we know that from books we read. This article here talks about an existing Ojukwu Transport Company however. Which no one I know has ever seen a bus belonging to them or their park.

murphyibiam15:
the problem of Igbos is too Much...always where one comes from...is she not married to an Nnewi man??

patrickcollins:
Yet ur president gave his son portfolio in Nigeria, and it is not door opener, where have Buhari known Ojukwu's son before.

RedboneSmith:
One or two of Ojukwu's progeny getting their foot through the door doesn't make the Ojukwu name a door opener outside their southeastern base of faithfuls. There are exceptions to every rule.

I reiterate: the Ojukwu name is not a door opener in this country.
