This is the kind of sensible Igbo people you should always emulate. He always focus on his business and have no time for hate. He choose to stay in south west for security purpose and leave quiet life without insulting his hosts and accommodator like you. May God continue to bless and protect him. These are real business men that we know for years, they are different from those importer and exporter that show the world they are selling slippers, but underneath they deal with drugs and faking prpducts. These big men don't have time to deceive themselves with Obi this, Obi that; these are Tinubu men

yarimo:
Killing in south east is normal, but not normal in other states outside south east according to peter obi and oby ezekwesili

DomPerignon:
I recall ipob claiming that Sir Louis Ojukwu was murdered by agents of the British govt because they owed him billions of pounds that he learnt them during WW2 to fight the Germans.

Maybe you should go and drag the British govt on behalf of Ojukwu's estate to repay the loan he gave them with compound interest and to pay reparations for his assassination while tendering an unreserved apology to the Ojukwu family and all ibos worldwide.

Ipob even claimed that this was why Britain supported Nigeria ainst Biafra so that Ojukwu jnr will not drag them to the ICJ.


Pure unadulterated lunacy.

IgOga:


Wrong. In journalism "sources" are known even when their identity have not been disclosed it is information coming from known persons. e.g. Sources say just like Reuters said "India's SEBI expedites IPO approvals, sources say, as record fundraising eyed"

When "sources" are used these are people that should know or would know. It is not reportedly said but the information came from known people or trusted sources. What is "reportedly" is what is general knowledge but may or may not be a fact or unverified by the reporter i.e the reporter cannot cite a particular source of this information other than a common knowledge

garykoeman:
Lies, none of Louis ojukwu wealth was stolen.

Even his son odumegwu never made mention of it.

Most of those funds and property were utilize to prosecute the Biafra war by ojukwu himself.

Reason why louis never lived long.

Putindbutt:
Ipob say Ojukwu papa na $4 to $40billion

These people enh 🤡 🤡🤡🤣😂🤣

DomPerignon:
You can't even tell us how much your ojukwu was worth and you are here telling us he was the richest man in Nigeria and was worth billions back then.


You are only here to ensure your Biafra propaganda remains in the head of your gullible population who fall for it.

You need to keep your Biafra lies etched and alive in your gullible popupion because if it is debunked , every lie that was Biafra will fall like as park of cards.

That's why you are here only repeating your tired and long debunked lies.

If your lies are finally debunked for the world to see and your gullible population finally accepts the truth that will be the end of your Biafra madness.

So I understand your audience isn't y of us tackling your lies here but rather your posts are meant to continue to enforce the Biafra propaganda and lies that you have crafted for yoirlseves so as to keep your biafra dream alive.

But you know what? You are living a life of denial , lies and one with distorted reality and that's why the rest of the world sees you guys as odd and misshapen people.

Continue yourself deceit

Christistruth00:
If you do your research with whole heart and pure mind you will discover that it was Dantata of Kano (Dangote's Grandfather) who was the richest Nigerian at that time

IgOga:
Forbes said "reportedly" that means a popular opinion that has not been verified.

Just in case you don't know the difference when journalist quote facts and public opinion. I.e. Ojukwu's billionaire status is unverified.

DomPerignon:
Properties even today are not worthy of billionaire status

If they will grant you visa on arrival which they won't, I would have suggested you visit Dubai and see what billionaire properties look like or you can go to Eko Atlantic and see how 100 million dollar properties look like and compare to the block of flats your ojukwu billuionre had

DomPerignon:
No. Ojukwu father built the entire Lagos.

FYI, ojukwu finally got possession of all his fathers properties in Lagos when Abacha was in power.

This was for pledging loyalty to Abacha and calling for Abiola to be hung for treason.

The ones in Calabar and PH are still being occupied by the military as the Abacha govt did not want to cause further ethnic tensions by handing Ojukwu father's properties back to ojukwu as this would have seen to a floodgate of Ibos seeking to get their property back.

DomPerignon:
You should be asking Ojukwu were the Nigeria pounds he forced your grandparents to exchange with his worthless Biafran pounds are?

[You are aware that Ojukwu passed a decree outlawing the Nigerian pounds in Biafra.

You should also know that after fleeing the country in a private jet stashed with Nigerian pounds he had stolen from the Biafran Central Bank, Awolowo got wind of this and saw it as a potential future threat to the country for Ojukwu to have so much money in his possession which he could use to instigate uprisings and a militia in the SE. This is why Awo changed the currency


Ojukwu was then left with old Nigerian pound notes that he could not exchange.


Lmfao.

Ojukwu really play una shege

DomPerignon:
Lagos state only came into existence after the civil war.

Louis Ojukwu died in 1966 before the war broke out .

The man had probably by then disinherited Ojukwu after Ojukwu refused to allow him entrance to Government House , Enugu.

Being a staunch catholic , I am sure the senior ojukwu would have willed everything to the church .


FYI, the military government sought to evict Ojukwu from his father's property in Ikoyi in 1986 so as to prevent Ojukwu seeking to reclaim the rest of his fathers properties in Apapa. Properties that were confiscated by the military government and turned to officers quaters.

Even at that how much are those properties worth today that will translate to billionaire wealth?

garykoeman:
This is a single property.

The way you are making it seems it's like Lagos state stole almost everything, which is not true.

Most of those property were used to prosecute the war.

Or where did you think odumegwu got the money from to lunch a full scale war.

Another lies peddle is the issue of $20 given to S.E to restart their lives.

Majority of Igbo men and women withdrew their money from the banks before the start of the war and converted it to Biafra currency.

One of the first institutions to be created by the Biafran Government was the Bank of Biafra, which was accomplished under ‘Decree No. 3 of 1967’ (also known as the ‘Bank of Biafra Decree, 1967’). Reports claim that many individuals presented their savings in local and foreign currency to the government so that weapons could be bought; later, gold and jewels were donated as contributions to the war effort. Money was also being raised from outside the Republic."


In an interview at Umuahia on 18 January 1968, Gen. Ojukwu made the following comment:
‘I understand that some women in the villages said that if this money [during the recall of Nigerian currency for Biafran currency] was wanted for the war they did not mind; the government should take it all.’ (Ojukwu, 1969

Sonnobax15:
. And he was compensated with the title of a billionaire, right? . Or probably the richest man in Nigeria then? . I find it quite amusing how some of you find it very easy to consume and digest some lies without having stomach ache

DomPerignon:
Where is the legacy of his purported wealth today?

Dantata that you have overthrown and replaced with your Ojukwu, has a family dynasty today that has produced Africa's and world's riches Blackman.

Even Ibru family with the Ibru Group is worth billions today.

Show us Ojukwu's father's wealth today.

As dem dey talk : you can't hide money.

How did his wealth vanish with him after his death?

Sonnobax15:
. It's very impossible to even claim he was a billionaire back then when Nigeria as a whole didn't Worth more than 4-5B naira as at then.......

Believe them at your own riisk..

helinues:
He wasn't. Must you people always lie ridiculously all the time?

Louis Ojukwu might be a billionaire back then but he wasn't the richest

drips8:
Reno is a bigot and fool but he's right.

He was wealthy no doubt, but he wasn't a billionaire, if he was, then we would all know.

Nigerians have a numbers problem and are easily swayed with peoples large properties or flamboyant lifestyles. The likes of MKO Abiola, Dantata, and Ojukwu sr were all wealthy, but they were not billionaire status. A lot of people don't know how much a billion dollars is.

I believe the first proper billionaire from Nigeria is Dangote.
