Frankly we are watching the body language of non-Igbo states in former Eastern region concerning the burial rites for Ojukwu. This is a great window for them (together with SE) to make bold statements about what the man meant to them and whether they are with us in the pursuit of more autonomy and self determination.
We are watching very closely!

Lemme Laugh at this statement small. . . . . . .   


SO I just informed the old eastern region states about your comment and they said to show you this and to tell you to "Eat a dic'k".

High_Chief:

Honestly, Ikemba's death will spur MASSOB and Uwazuruike has been on the low cos of the presence of Ikemba, but now that we have lost him, am sure they will take another dimenssion. Uwazuruike is a very fearless man

Another f'oolish comment. Look at you banking on a persona non grata like Uwazuruike to champion a dead course like Biafra. I weep for the entire Igbo Nation if this is the popular belief.

Onlytruth:

[size=14pt]S’ East govs declare 7-day mourning, MASSOB Warns Nigeria On Non-violence[/size]
“I just came back this morning, everybody is aware of his death. We are all in mourning mood, Igboland is in mourning mood,[size=18pt] Nigeria is in mourning mood.[/size] He (Uwazuruike) declared prayers, [size=18pt]which all must follow[/size]/ We need prayers for our leader, it is seven days of prayers and every Igbo person should support that,” Governor Obi said before he proceeded to Abuja to officially inform President Goodluck Jonathan of the demise of the Ezeigbo Gburugburu.

First of all, NIGERIA is not in a mourning mood and who the Bleep is Uwazuruike to say ALL MUST mourn and pray because Ojukwu whos death should have come since 1970 died?!  Arrant nonsense.   

Onlytruth:

[size=14pt]S’ East govs declare 7-day mourning, MASSOB Warns Nigeria On Non-violence[/size]
According to Uwazuruike, the mourning  would require the participation of all churches, irrespective of denominations, bishops, reverend fathers, traders, teachers, students, among others.
The MASSOB leader said [size=18pt]Ojukwu lived for the masses, adding that “whatever concerns him, must be for the masses.”[/size]

Ojukwu lived for the masses?! And over 1 million old eastern regioners died for him and his cause yet he left them and fled like a little b'itch. Even Ghadaffi & Laurent Gbagbo are more honourable than Ojukwu! Atleast they died fighting for a cause they believed in.

Onlytruth:

“We have not seen that evidence since the war ended, Now that Ezeigbo is dead, they should seize the opportunity. Nigeria should give Igbos the same status being enjoyed by others by creating two additional states to compliment the five states in the South-east. 
“Secondly, they should show this evidence of ‘no victor, no vanquished’ by declaring the entire South-east a disaster area in terms of infrastructure,” he said.
The MASSOB leader warned that the people of the South-east were not cowards, saying “the boys are very angry.”

Two additional States?! 

Is this re-tard joking?!

Ebonyi is bottom of the food Chain amongst the 36 states of the federation, Enugu is almost redundant, Anambra is grossly mismanaged just like Abia and Imo and he is requesting 2 new States to be fed by who?! With federal allocation drawn from the revenue of oil producing Niger-Delta states abi?! I laugh in Ohafia!!

If this buffoon is the leader of Ndi Igbo, then I now understand why we are being marginalized.

And that "The Boys are very Angry Statement". . . . . .  I hope he isnt indirectlt threatening the Federal government o!! If they repeat that rubbis of 1967 again, Jonathan will explain to them how far the Nigerian Army has come since 1967.

Onlytruth:

His words: “We know what is happening in Nigeria, that those who the government listens to are those who carry arms; there is something I will tell you that you don’t even know; the position of MASSOB being non-violence has been sustained by Ojukwu; he has always insisted that we must remain non-violent. But not many people know this; whenever there seems to be problems, he would call and warn me to make sure I did not depart from non-violence.”

“So, that’s why I am saying all these because Nigerians believe that because you carry guns or start throwing bombs, that you will be listened to. We are not cowards and if they remember whenever an Igbo man starts something, it takes a different dimension. We do not intend to go to that extent but the death of Odumegwu-Ojukwu, who has paid the price for the emancipation of the Igbo; if that is not enough for Nigeria, well, no problem.”

Osisikankwu's death will be like he died in his sleep compared to the way Uwazuruike will die should he try any nonsense. Dear God, I wish a nigger would! Let the Nigerian Army finally have something to shoot legitimately.

Onlytruth:

“The final expectation from Nigeria is that they should immortalise Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu; that should be done immediately. The newspapers are awash, Ojukwu is this, he is that,because he is dead; the finest soldier, the most brilliant soldier, they knew all these things but how many barracks in Abuja bear Ojukwu’s name. Those who have such barracks, are they more intelligent than Ojukwu or did they contribute more to the army than Ojukwu? You see the discrimination I am talking about? So, we want to see that; how many streets in Abuja are named after Ojukwu?” He asked.

Awwww! Isnt it cute when grown men suffering from Alzheimers try to make a speech!!

He fought against Nigeria, Killed Nigerians and now you want Nigerians to name a Military Base after a man who fought them?! After a man who tried to divide us!

This time I laugh in Arochukwu. . . . .



ANYWAYS!! The truth is that the death of Ojukwu has solved 70% of the problems of ndi Igbo. The remaining 30% would also dissappear when Uwazuruike and other Biafran apologists die off (which should be soon).



God Bless the United States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
God Bless our President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,
God Bless the entire Igboland,
God Bless the millions of Easterners who lost their lives fighting in 1967,
God bless us all.

Ojukwu, Rest in Peace. . . _{Heaven knows you dont deserve to.}

That there is what makes me uncomfortable when people say Nigeria should split. What will happen to the minority tribes in the SS & SE like mine? Must you force everyone to mourn for a Biafran hero?

I respect Ojukwu & what he fought for but I have a ningling feeling that we, the smaller tribes in that region, would have been suppressed by majority like you.
It would have been called 'unconscious ethnic cleansing.'

I thought the hausas were the Devil until I saw that my own people are even worse than Belzebub.

The likes of him would gladly wipe out the south-south without blinking and who would stop them? Is it the government that is run by their likes?!

Biafra would have been worse than Sudan, Rwanda and Somalia put together. The ethnic cleansing would have made Hitlers massacre look like a case of multiple homicide.

The 7days mourning of our hero(Ikemba) is for South Easterners and not for any other regions. You can re-read the news again, it was endorsed by S.E governors and not S.S but any group of pple/tribe/region can join S.E if they care, nobody is forcing you to join us mourn our hero.

I'm also beginning to feel Okija Juju is not an onye Igbo. There's no single Igbo thread that pops up that he does not use to say negative things about Igbo people. He can't possibly be Igbo. Okija_Juju, biko if you're Igbo and Ikwerre, prove your self.

@ Afamefuna

Nwanne,

The honest truth is I am an Anambra Man (true and true) and also a Rivers Man (but not Ikwerre _{unfortunately I detest that tribe}). But that dosent matter. If you look at my posts, it is only when the Biafran issue comes up that I really get pissed. I am not anti-Igbo, I am only anti-Biafra and I have a deep seated hatred for Ojukwu.

My opinions may differ from yours, but in the end, we both want the same things.

Dude did you read my post? I was only responding to OnlyTruth's post stating that 'they' were watching the non-Igbo states in the former Eastern region in relation to Ojukwu's burial rites etc. I know he speaks for himself & might have been joking but in the Nigeria we all know, one cannot rule out a case for the danger of minority tribes in the potential split of the country.

Like I said, I respect Ojukwu & his role in the history of Nigeria. He is a Biafran hero fighting for his people's cause like the heroes of other tribes of Nigeria.

i dont understand the write up.

did gov peter obi leave office for uwazurike? Why is he delivering messages for him?

who exactly is making the pronouncements on ojukwu's death, or is there a power struggle going on.

and where is the governor's trained PR representative to make statements on the governor's behalf.

@ Okija juju. U are truly nt an Igboman, but if u are, then u must be a bar-- staad son, cus true Igbo sons dnt act the way u do. The rubish Igbo u type cannot convince a year old Igbo boy

Some Igbo people here on NL are unnecessarily strung up. Just because you don't like Okija_Juju doesn't put you in any position to say where is and is not from. People are starting to sound more and more like the old EzeUche. Truth be told though, Okija_Juju invited the assault with the over-the-top post; very unnecessary.

As for the declaration of mourning, tour of the body, etc.; Igbo people would do well to ignore any people outside of the 5 states.

He's not onye Igbo. It's as simple as that. Which Igbo person attacks Igbo people on just about every thread. We overlook it because he uses Ara ga gba ndi ara to cover our eyes. He's not Igbo. he has never written Igbo.

i think he should be mourned by all former easterners. my 2 cents tho

He should be mourned by all Easterners regardless of ethnic origin including Delta and Edo states (atleast parts of it)

@ topic

is delta also having an official mourning?

his mum was from there- not sure which town. 

i'm guessing probably asaba or ogwashi ukwu because those areas have strong igbo links.

might be tricky sha, due to the interpersonal or intra-ethnic dynamics of the region.

Nigeria didn't start in 1960, Igbo people have been living alongside these people for hundreds of years. I also have a feeling that over 80% of Nigerians would have never heard of any of these places and would never care or understand these cultures like an Igbo would, so you should ask yourself if the "unconscious ethnic cleansing" is better than being completely ignored.

P.S. A lot of Igbo musicians sing Efik, and a lot of Igbo traditions are Ibibio. You may have heard of the Peacocks International. You may have heard of the Kalabari Frederick Lawson singing Biafra's praise in his language. You may have heard that the second in command of Biafra was Efik. You may also have heard that Biafra was named by an Ijaw.

My dear friend, that Igbos have been living with them in peace pre-independence is no guarantee that it would continue after Biafra. A new country with new people & resources. Hmmm.

Like you pointed out, few Nigerians know that Cross River is one of the most ethnically diverse states in Nigeria & many do not know those tribes even exist which would make it easier to be dominated by the Igbos. What voice will we have if things dont go well for us against a unified tribe that have a common language & culture? Whose soldiers would they say fought for 'freedom', the Igbos or the other minority tribes, hence whose country would it be? We would be forced to conform & all those tribes I listed will be 'phased away.'

I rather be an unknown tribe than to be wiped out due to dominion. You may not see it this way but this is the hard truth. Its called foresight.

So are you telling me in Cross River, there are no dominating groups, or groups that are mostly in power? "Phasing" has been happening all over eastern Nigeria for hundreds of years. What other tests are there for "ethnic cleansing" other than an era when there was no UN, NATO, Red Cross, or UNESCO, to come to your aid. You're acting as if Igbo people only started realising there's something to the east of them after 1960. The "hard truth" is if Igbo people had a decision to domineer Cross River they'd do it with or without Nigeria, especially in Nigeria where everyone thinks you're Igbo anyway, making you even more voiceless.

This is the dominating mentality I'm talking about. I'm glad you accept there will a 'domination'. So of what use will it be to join Biafra when ppl like you think we are already voiceless? At least we have reps in the Legislative arm of the Nigerian Govt presently (however docile they may be). Half bread is better than none. Moreover, I have never been mistaken to be Igbo in Nigeria so your statement is greatly flawed.

If you think it is easy for the Igbos to dominate a State like CR, then why havent they done so or with oil-rich Akwa Ibom or Rivers or Delta?

Can they dare try it in Nigeria? No. Can they do it in Biafra? A resounding YES!

I meant what I said when I said that we (Igbo) are watching the minorities closely over Ojukwu's funeral. We need to do that because we have hitherto considered you political allies. This is when we find out whether you take us as we take you -political allies/brothers in struggle.
Some of you are very funny because you think that Nigeria protect you from marginalization. That is what ezeagu is trying to make you know that you are wrong about. It is FAR EASIER to marginalize you in Nigeria because it is all man to himself and survival of the fittest. You would be a big fool to think you can outcompete or out-maneuver us in Nigeria. In Biafra, we have a moral obligation (per Igbo morality) to protect and make you more prominent because Ahiara Declaration sees every Biafran as equal; NO BORN TO RULE. You cannot say that in Nigeria, and Jonathan only became president because we (Ndigbo) voted for him.
If we for a second feel that your interest is to see us caged and marginalized in Nigeria, we would declare open seseme on your type, and there would be no hidding place for you.
Some of you think you are doing us a favor, but the opposite is actually the case. Nigeria is cooking right now, and one of these days we would hear a huge gbosaa, and we shall then see whether you can stop us in any plans we have. Some of you need to go to school of logical reasoning.
