Igbo market in India to close on March 2

The Igbo market on Mohammed Ali Road, Mumbai, India, will be shut-down on March 2 in honour of the late Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu. The Eze-Igbo Gburugburu, who died on November 26, 2011, would be interred on Friday. President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, India chapter, Mr. Kingsley Chukwuma, who made this known in a statement, also called on all Igbo sons and daughters in India to continue mourning Ojukwu in black shirts till March 2.
According to him, Igbo indigenes in their black attires on February 19, 2012 had a procession with olive branches and candlelights through some streets before gathering at the Igbo Hall, Cosmos Building at Khar Road, Mumbai, India, to mourn the Biafran warlord who meant so much to them.

He said the occasion which was attended by over 500 Igbo indigenes, was to pay their last respect to the late Igbo leader, whom he insisted, would be difficult to replace. Chukwuma said the late Ojukwu sacrifice a lot by fighting for freedom and justice and urged Igbo indigenes in the Diaspora to keep his legacy alive by sustaining the struggle against injustice and oppression in Nigeria. He extended his condolence on behalf of Ohaneze Ndigbo, India chapter to the family of Ojukwu especially his widow, Bianca, who was billed to visit India upon her appointment as Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Diaspora before the death of her husband last year.

The President of Nigeria community in Mumbai, India, Mr. Bless Agwuocha, described Ojukwu as the mirror of justice and requested every Igbo person to claim the greatness of Ojukwu in the course to achieve ethnic right in Nigeria by Ndigbo. DAILYSUN
