I am 100% positive that with all your strength and vibrancy here if you feel a cold spoon behind you, you will freeze or disappear like a molten magma. Just respect people's achievements and strive to change your own world. Peace

At Sheyguy I do not need to write history down here for you. Just read, spend less time on Nairaland, read!

@namfav and @executinal, @sheyguy

You all are big fooooooools, you probably cannot and will never live up to 1% of your dreams before you join him. Ojukwu struggled for what he believed, to liberate his people and you are hear on nairaland talking about what you don't even know, judging him as if you will go to heaven, shame on to you for talking badly about a man who is dead, if you are given an opportunity to step into his shoes, will you be able to achieve 0.0001% of this man's achievement.
Watch your mouth your northern fools, someday your northern idiotic brothers will have themselves to blame. You simply have exposed the kind of  you all are.

, silly bandits that you all are.

Why the disconnection from reality? Very bad students of history. The pogrom and unmitigated arsons still happening in that deluded northern Nigeria till today is a vindication on the Ikemba's struggle. He too faced a lot of betrayals and disappointments from various people with personal and parochial interests.

Former biafran leader and leader of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu is dead.

Thisday can confirm that he died late last night. He had been sick for a while and was receiving treatment at a united Kingdom (UK) hospital.More to follow . . .

Ojukwu was born in Zungeru, Northern Nigeria in 1933. His father, Sir Louis Phillipe Odumegwu Ojukwu was a wealthy businessman who made money from the transport industry. Ojukwu was sent to the UK at the age of 13 to study, first at Epsom College and later at Lincoln College, Oxford University where he earned a Masters degree in History.

Upon his return in 1956, he joined the civil service in then Eastern Nigeria. He would later leave the service to join the military, where he was one of the few university graduates.

Ojukwu was appointed Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria by Military Head of State, General Aguiyi Ironsi on January 17, 1966. By May of the same year, Nigeria was facing a serious crisis. A planned pogrom in Northern Nigeria targeting and killing South-easterners presented a problem. He made several assurances to the South-easterners about their safety but the crisis continued.  In May 1967, he declared Eastern Nigeria a Sovereign State named Biafra.

In July, 1967, then Head of State Yakubu Gowon declared war on Biafra. A civil war ensued. The war raged on for another 30 months. An attempt at peace during a meeting at Aburi, Ghana did not stop the war. In 1970, Ojukwu handed over power to his deputy Major-General Phillip Effiong and left the country to avoid assassination. He was granted political asylum in Cote D'Ivoire by President Felix Houphöet-Biogny.

The civilian President of Shehu Shagari granted him an official pardon and he returned in 1982 after 13 years in exile. Ojukwu would later go into politics, forming the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA). He was an active member until his death.

very senseless move,why not invest such money in electricy or are Nigerians going to watch the films with candles or at least try to repair available refineries instead they feel its better to spend it in poor old nollywood.if u ask me i would say there is more to it.

@OP, Nigerians wont take it 2 the streets because:
1) we are not one.
2)too tribal.
3)language barrier.
4)claim 2 be religious(hypocrites)
5)traitors.
6)racism.
       if anybody says Nigeria is one, that person is a BIG FAT LIAR. Take for example, if you are looking for work outside your home, the first silly question is: where are u from? Your state of origin.
      we are too tribal, i'm sure you know what i'm saying.
      hmm, language matters alot to the average Nigerian. If u'r igbo and the next person is not igbo, then he's not your brother.
      even in among the protestant churches, there is still diversity. Most of them are formed base on a particular chapter or verse from the bible, eg: MFM, WINNERS ETC(NO OFFENCE). So u see that when there's no oneness nothing of co-operation will ever happen.
       Nigerians are hell of traitors. Who knows if Judas is from here, they know how 2 betray their fellow.(biafra stories can tell u more)
      racism? We all know.
      so, OP since we have all this problem there wont be a revolution. The Musa, chinedu and kolas wont agree with each other, Musa wont leave his suya or gate to come to street neither chinedu will leave his spare parts shop nor kola will stop his yahoo, NEVER!

u're obviously ignorant of such things like scholarships are handled in nigeria,do u? For your info,lasu has a scholarship programme 4 students whose cgpa is 4.0 and above which am a beneficiary of. U know how it works? U have to pay your skul fee,work hard all through d session and wait endlessly till d university have your time to award d scholarship which comprise of a 20,000 and the refund of your 25,000 skul fee. . . . Am yet to get a refund of my 100level skul fee and am now in 300level. . . . So tell me,how do u think a poor brilliant student will survive if the new skul fee is implemented? Will he go a-borrowing to pay his skul fee and now wait for about 2yrs to get a refund?
