"Emeka Ojukwu remained in exile for twelve years until 1982, when he and Yakubu Gowon were both pardoned by President Shehu Shagari. Emeka’s homecoming was dramatic. Frederick Forsyth who witnessed this wrote: “The reception at Murtala Mohammed Airport was thunderous, exceeding by far what had been planned for. A crowd of four or five thousand, including just about the entire airport staff, surged through the building carrying Emeka shoulder high and cheering until the place echoed... Outside the building about 150,000 swirled around the area, swamping the roads, car parks and fields...an official of the welcoming committee looked on with open mouth. “We thought he was popular,” he said, “butnothing like this. It’s unbelievable.” Later, as Emeka was driven to Enugu, the one time capital of Biafra, the scene was extraordinary. “Something like a million people lined that road. Many times the cars slowed as Emeka leaned down to shake hands...On every car, wall, truck and tree the posters were up: Onyeije Nno – Welcome Home-comer...After several hours the cheering was like the refrain of the ocean in the ears of those in the cars.” John Owen-Davies (Epsom College 1955-1960), who was Head of the Reuters Bureau in Nigeria, knew Emeka very well. He said that on November 29, 1992: “Forgiveness was on public display when President Babangida told the two main protagonists in the Biafran War – both of them former army friends – it was time to shake hands. The ensuing handshake between General Yakubu “Jack” Gowon, federal president and military commander during the conflict, and Emeka Ojukwu, who led the renegade state of Biafra in the oil-rich south-east, was cheered by 500 people in Lagos’s National Theatre after a book launching ceremony.....but halfway through the book launch, the traditional “recognising” of leading Nigerians present was held. The last person to be recognised was Ojukwu. The initial applause was muted and there was no clapping on the top table, which included Nigeria’s then defence minister, Sani Abacha. Ojukwu then turned and faced the audience. The clapping increased in volume and reached a crescendo when he clasped his hands above his head like a boxer. When the National Anthem was played at the end of proceedings, I walked to stand near to Emeka. Then Babangida, followed by Gowon, came down from the high table and walked towards him. “It is time,” Babangida said, “that you two gentlemen shook hands.” They did, to cheers from the audience. “ In 2011, Emeka Ojukwu suffered a serious stroke that deprived him of his eyesight. He was flown to London for specialist treatment at the Hammersmith Hospital, but died on November 26, 2011. He was 78. He had showed courage and fortitude in the year of 1966, demonstrated brilliant leadership and a selfless devotion to his people. After his return from exile a senator remarked: ‘There is only ever one leader of the Ibo people and we have just discovered beyond a shadow of doubt who it is. Now we can all sit down and re-draw the political map of southern Nigeria.’ In her prize winning book, Half of a Yellow Sun, Chimamanda Adichie accurately described the horrors of the Biafran conflict. Out of the despair and desolation one man stood out. “Everything about him sparkled, his groomed beard, his watch, his wide shoulders. ‘I came to ask you a question,’ he said. His Oxfordaccented voice was surprisingly soft.... ’What shall we do? Shall we keep silent and let them force us back into Nigeria? Shall we ignore the thousands of our brothers and sisters killed in the north?’ Ojukwu lit a cigarette and threw it down on the lawn. It flared for a while before he reached out and squashed it beneath a gleaming black boot. ‘Even the grass will fight for Biafra,’ he said.” One of the hallmarks of Emeka Ojukwu was that he spoke things some people would not speak and to which others would not listen. It is the hallmark of true leaders, but not of politicians. Emeka Ojukwu was not a politician, he was a leader. He understood Nigeria, but Nigeria did not understand" - Frederick Forsyth. |
"Frederick Forsyth, who knew Emeka well, wrote that he had a handsome allowance from his father, which enabled him to dress in the most elegantly-cut suits and drive a series of newest and fastest British sports cars in the early 1950s. He was observed by contemporaries to be seldom out of the company of a string of very attractive young women. ‘Then there were the parties, the weekend trips to London and the high life of the capital. It was probably the social life that cost him a place in the Oxford Rugby team in his final year. He made his place as wing three-quarter in the Lincoln College team, and as a sprinter was selected to pace the great Jamaican runner Macdonald Bailey.’ His father visited Britain at this time and purchased a Rolls-Royce, his first such vehicle. Emeka suggested that the car really ought to be ‘run in’ and that he was the best person to do this. ‘In this manner he became the only student at Oxford to be observed driving to and from lectures at the wheel of a gleaming Rolls-Royce. One of his tutors so admired the vehicle that he was for ever wanting a ride in it. Soon they were to be seen cruising around in the Rolls together, Emeka having his tutorials on the move, and visiting quite a few outlying public houses whenever the strain became too much. It was during his time at Oxford that Emeka began to undergo a transformation that had never been envisaged by his masters at Epsom or his tutors at Oxford. As an undergraduate, he joined the West African Students Union and became increasingly aware of African nationalism and his own African-ness. This totally eclipsed the sense of bewilderment and loneliness that he experienced when he first arrived as a fourteen year old boy at Epsom, and found himself, as he put it, ‘lost in a sea of white faces.’ Together with three other Oxford Nigerians he swore an oath to dedicate himself on his return to the service of the Nigerian people rather than to the search for personal advancement. Arriving back in Nigeria, and very much against his father’s wishes, he joined the Nigerian army, hoping to play an integral part in his country’s affairs once Nigeria had gained independence from Britain. In October 1960 independence was gained, but Nigeria at that time was a country fractured by tribal differences, with the Hausas in the north, the Yorubas in the west and the Biafrans in the east. Emeka thought the role of the army would be a unifying one, providing a continuing stability behind the world of politics without actually being involved in the political arena, although subsequent events were to prove him wrong. He returned to England in 1958 and entered the Officer Cadet School at Eaton Hall and then the Infantry School at Warminster. In 1962 he attended the Army Staff College at Latimer before returning to Nigeria where he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, commanding the 5th Battalion and eventually becoming Quartermaster General of the Nigerian Army, the first Nigerian to hold that post. On 15 January 1966 a cadre of junior army officers, most of them Ibo, toppled Nigeria’s postindependence government. Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, Premier of Northern Nigeria, and Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Prime Minister of Nigeria were assassinated. Although Emeka was not involved in this coup, he was appointed military commander of the Eastern Region." Lalasticlala, Mynd44 have you guys seen this picture before? |

Fiery cleric and the Spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry, Enugu Nigeria, AMEN, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has disclosed of his recent vision concerning President Muhammadu Buhari’s ailment. Mbaka, who made the revelation in one of his Adoration programmes, stated that several efforts he made to reach people close to Buhari over the vision had remained unsuccessful as they refused picking his calls. DAILY POST recalls that before the 2015 presidential election, Mbaka had also complained of how he was denied access to former President Goodluck Jonathan. The controversial priest later gave a New Year message, which was widely believed to have contributed to Jonathan’s defeat in the election. On Buhari’s ailment, he declared that his chances of recovery may be slim but that with the prayer of the members of the congregation, he would receive healing. He equally declared that there were some people who were not happy that Buhari was alive. “Such people hate everything about the President”, he stated, while narrating the vision which he saw before the President’s present trip to London. According to him, in the vision, the President was critically sick and was being flown abroad for treatment. “His health was in a bad shape and he was asking that (Fr Mbaka) should pray for him. None among the people I have called, picked my calls. “People think I speak with Buhari everyday. When people climb into power, they are dazed. It is a long dream. Our job is to pray for him but there are things that he must do and there is no way to communicate it to him”, Fr. Mbaka said. He, therefore, asked the congregation to stand up and lift their hands up as he began to pray for the health and healing of President Buhari. The prayer went thus: “We call on Michael the arch angel, Uriel the archangel, Gabriel the archangel to carry you in their wings back to life. They angels are bringing you back in their wings. In Psalm 79:11 the Lord restores those who have already being appointed to die. Are you the one that has been appointed to die? God himself will bring you back to life. Remember His word that when the thief comes to steal, kill you and destroy you, I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly. Have life now more abundantly in Jesus name Amen. “We pray for our President and anyone that is suffering such a dangerous disease. We lift our healing hands for divine healing upon our president. Wherever he is, may he be healed in Jesus name Amen. “The doctors in Nigeria are nursing fear that he may not survive but we have a healing God. His name is specialist in impossibilities. In Mathew 19:26, He can make the impossible, possible. In Mark 10:27 He can make the impossible, possible. In Luke 1:37, He can make the impossible, possible. In Jeremiah 32:17, He can make the impossible, possible. In Job 42:2, He can do all things and no purpose of His can be thwarted. Hallelujah. “We stretch our hands of healing upon our President and you that may be sick here. I take you as somebody who is as if to say he is dead already. Have they said that you are dead and there is nothing that can be done in your situation? Have your kidney died? Have your liver died? Have your heart or any organ of your body been confirmed dead? Look at what happened in John 11:39. When Jesus asked them to open the tomb of Lazarus, they told him that by now he must be smelling for he was dead for about four days now. After all this, I heard Jesus talking in verse 43 telling Lazarus to come out. Let that thing that is dead come back to life in Jesus name Amen. Let your dead vision come back to life. Let your dead destiny come back to life. Let your dead passion come back to life in Jesus name Amen. “Whatever is dead in your body should come back to life in Jesus name Amen. Your dead success, come back to life. Your dead business, come back to life. Your dead vocation, come back to life. Your dead gifts come back to life. God will show you the path to life. “We stand in in Psalm 110:1 where the Lord said to my lord to sit at His right hand and I decree that You shall be the child of the right hand of God of Psalm 17:7, Psalm 31:15, psalm 31:5 and psalm 98:1. “In the book of Mathew 27 the Bible says that when the blood Jesus dropped and he cried with a loud voice, the veils were torn. As this was happening the tombs opened. I stand in Matthew 27 and minister in verse 53 and 54. When the tomb opened, those who were dead in the tomb came back to life and move about the city. This was because the blood of Jesus dropped on the ground. “As the blood of Jesus drops on the ground now, anybody here who has been killed and buried in the spirit and is just a moving corpse, let him or her come back to life now in Jesus name Amen. Let your spirit come back to life in Jesus name Amen. Is there any good thing or virtue in our country that has died or occultically being held bounds? I send the Holy Ghost fire upon every temple of Satan that is accommodating any name of the Child of God in Jesus name; Holy Ghost fire. Holy Ghost Fire!!!” While concluding the prayer, he said “I want the enemies to see our President shining, prospering and moving majestically in glory. The chances of his healing may be little but now with our prayers and faith, the chances of his coming out is high. “The spiritual energy with which we make this prayer is enormous that it shall do this for us. If you are ready for testimony, my God is ready with miracles.” Nigerians are expecting the President, who has been away on a medical vacation, back to the country, tomorrow (Sunday). |
