IN COMMEMORATION OF A VALIANT PATRIOT AND ICON: OJUKWU’S LEGACY LIVES ON.

Today marks Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu’s posthumous birthday, a remarkable man and leader who is a true inspiration for bravery and patriotism all over the world.

He was a man with a most powerful narrative. An essential Nigerian story, with a history compelling in several respects. Ikemba Nnewi was a brave soldier and great thinker. Dim was a man with an uncompromised belief in equity, whom circumstances of those times did not leave with any option than to rise in the defence of his people.

Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu won the respect of the entire nation with his formidable contributions to the growth and development of “One Nigeria”, particularly with the reunification and proper integration of Igbo people back into the indivisible nation called Nigeria.

Dim Ojukwu fought relentlessly for the emancipation and eventual sustenance of the Igbo Nation. Today, his legacy has consequently birthed the “AFA IGBO EFUNA” movement which is dedicated to the renaissance and preservation of the Igbo dream and legacy.

Ojukwu is gone but his life is full of lessons for us to learn. By the example of his deeds, his legacy will live on, not only in Igbo land and Nigeria but the entire world as we and generations to come will always remember and celebrate the distinct, patriotic and fearless leader who stood for the truth, fought for the truth and in truth he died.

Happy PostHumous Birthday to Ikemba Ndi Igbo!
