I wish the Ikemba, God's protection & speedy recovery. Nairalanders please the man needs our prayers now, & not condemnation.

My Ikemba, our father we Ndigbo love you and will always do. Please get well we will continue to pray for your recovery Amen.

pslm23:

It is never a good thing to wish evil and death on anybody. Ikemba is an important person in the Igbo community and a thousand years from now, his name will still be mentioned in the history of Igbos.

I'm only 36 and wasn't even born during the Biafran era but my father served in the military and my mom was a nurse on the biafran side too (that's how she met my father). All I've heard since I was a child was how great a man Ikemba was for trying to liberate his people. When I think of him I think of MLK. He also tried to fight for the rights of black people in the US.

So, my thing is, some people might not like him or respect what he did but that does not call for death wishes. I pray he pulls through but if God decides that his time is up then so be it. His name will still be spoken for many many years to come. When you talk about the history of Nigeria, believe me, Ikemba's name will be mentioned.

Bless your good heart for this post. Same scenario is applicable to me too, I went beyond my parents tales to get alternative views on pre and post 1966 events and Dikedioramma's  part in the whole sad events; the few Yoruba's, Hausa's, Middlebeltans and South south folks that I had access to had somethings commendable to say about him in adition to their fears too, history books are there too to butress this man of honour's singular dedication to the Nigerian project until he was forced to tow the seccession line to save his people (he ensured the northerners had a safe ride home while train loads of mutilated igbos were shipped back in droves to the east)

Britain knew how intelligent and opinionated he is and so ensured that the Biafran project was bombed into extinction, Dim Ojukwu will forever be rememberd in the annals of this country.

May God's will be done in his life.Dikedioramma

I'am so sorry for him may he recover quick, though I was never and i'm never one of his fan at all. I came from the same region with him but never his follower or his beleiver or his adorer in fact I dont like him as a person because I dont understand what he stand for but that does not mean I should wish him death because no matter what he has done he is a human like me so I wish him quick recovery. This is my view no offense!!!!!!

Ikemba May The Almighty God heal you. But if in the end its time for you to go. You are engraved in our memories and generation upon generations will still love you. You got more balls than all men in Nigeria put together multiplied by 20000!
We Love you!!!

well

A man that had the guts to say: enough is enough. (-with nothing ; a truly dying breed)
Posterity will not forget you.
IF the various regions had younger versions of you, i believe that the balance of power would have been fair ages ago.
You have a place in our history.

I wish you God's grace sir.

He is a great man, a true legend who will never be forgotten, may God heal him. We still need his presence to guide us younger ones.

Dim Ikemba, may Almighty God see you through during this period! Wish you the best.

Ezendigbo gburu gburu you shall live for us . . . . . Onweghi ife ga eme gi !!!

I pray that he gets well in Jesus Name!

Its not really my business but a trend is just emerging and its too glaring not to notice it, as expected, you may perhaps start another thread on your topic.

It just occured to me that my 2 posts on this thread has been deleted or something, seems something strange is going on here.

Anyway, I guess I took time off my end of year work summary for this.

Happy deliberations

Ex-Biafran warlord Chief Emeka Odume-gwu Ojukwu is to be flown to Britain today, in a frantic effort to save his life.

Ojukwu, 77, has been on life support machine at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), Enugu, since Sunday after suffering a stroke.

It was gathered that an air ambulance has been secured by the government of Anambra State to evacuate the National Leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

Governor Peter Obi "has been doing everything that needs to be done to ensure that the Ikemba’s health is restored," said a source last night.

Dr. Anthony Mbah, the Chief Medical Director (CMO) of the UNTH said Ojukwu was "brought to the Accident and Emergency Ward of this hospital in an unconscious state last Sunday".

"The blood pressure was quite low and he was not making enough urine."

Sources said last night that Ojukwu’s condition "is critical but stable enough to travel on an air ambulance".

Igbo leaders have been visiting the ailing ex-warlord. Obi was there yesterday. He was accompanied by government officials and the National Chairman of APGA, Chief Victor Umeh. Ohanaeze President Ambassador Ralph Uwechue, Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) Ralph Uwazuruike were also at the hospital.

Umeh said: "The Ojukwu I saw today (Tuesday) should be on his feet in another one week. It is not something to panic about. There is no cause for alarm."

Ojukwu’s health was not improving, despite the initial stability and response to treatment, according to a doctor who pleaded not to be named.

The doctor said Obi provided the funds when the hospital management told him that lack of funds could delay Ojukwu’s transfer abroad for further treatment.　

One of Ojukwu’s aides said last night: "Barring any last-minute setback, my oga　should be flown out tomorrow (today)."

He said: "Three weeks ago, while trying to feed him (Ojukwu), he told me there were signs that his end was near and he would wish his end to come on January 12, 2011 to coincide with the 41

Lol @ war lord.

I don die.

Even though you are old, but i wish you fast recovery

May God punish some of you for even Dearing to insult this man, especially the first post your entire family will never be like him till de end of their life. Idiot. He is a hero forever.

This man is an enigma, I read an article recently by Gary Busch where he mentioned Ojukwu and Biafra and stated that Britain and Russia bitter cold war rivals at the time had to agree to stop Ojukwu and the success of Biafra because of the ingenuity of the people which could spread to other African countries and deny them access to Oil and raw materials.
People like Ken Saro Wiwa and other leaders including Awolowo did not foresee what Ojukwu saw then and failed to negotiate better deals for their region having supported the Nigerian Military Govt in the civil war. That is why today, the new generation of Yoruba leaders led by the Chief Area Boy and Bad Guy (nuff respect) Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is carving out an identity for the Western Region today and we all can see the quality of accountable leadership that they are offering from Lagos to Edo to Ondo to osun through the platform of ACN.

It was under Ojukwus leadership that the Eastern region local engineers and crafts men were able to refine crude oil and build Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC) etc while today we are arguing on NL whether the Govt is correct for lifting the embargo on importation of toothpicks, textile or 15 years for abandoned tokumbo cars from Europe and Asia.
The youths in the Niger Delta realised what Ojukwu was fighting for and that Adaka Boro made a mistake for fighting against Biafra and decided to pick up arms many years later to be heard and reduce environmental degradation and poverty in their communities which brought about the collapsing amnesty programme and GEJ presidency.

Ojukwu wants the Nigerian Project to work. So I wish him quick recovery. He is a great man

I wish him good recovery, we can't afford to lose another great man in less 10 days Pa Enahoro died.

Wishing him quick recovery.

i pray that he pulls through, he was a true leader of ndigbo
