Unfortunately Enugu state has no one to celebrate right from 1960 till now. It is really hurting. You people need education to develop human capital. |

Handsomegod:i dont want to go into certain things in detail...but was the arch bishop of canterbury also vising osadebeh in benin that he wasnt killed? Was jesus visting ironsi that he wasnt killed? Who was visiting Nwafor Orizu? Nzeogwu was a yoruba born- hausa trained vagabon who has no place in igbo political pride |

This is what I saw in Ibadan last week.. Fed poly Ede. I had once seen an IVM SUV. That one too had OAUTHC on it number. Federal institutions are beginning to look inward for locally made cars because, they are cheaper . 4 Likes 1 Share

It is simply because your state no single worthy person to celebrate. Stop envying others. Let your state start developing human capital. Education is key. |

basilo101:there is nothing to celebrate in the politics played by Zik Kaduna nzeogwu Ojukwu Ironsi The 4 of them ruined igbos and buried us. U can celebrate their 'firsts' First army goc, 1st president, 1st army graduate etc...but u just shouldnt celebrate their politics. It was grossly naive 2 Likes |

But how come there were no one from Enugu state that has ever made any of these lists, either by mistake or error. Lol Bede2u: |
Re: . by Handsomegod(m): 11:33pm On Oct 04, 2018 |
Bede2u:Zik's crime was that he was elevated in his thinking better than his contemporaries. He lived beyond base and chauvinistic instints. Same traits you still find abundantly in Igbos today. He was a man way beyond his time and era. Yet,his legacy towers above all till this day. Aside personally influencing African renaissance and Independence push,the enviable depth of leadership instituted in the East were his doing by a long mile. Recall the first set of Igbo intelligentsia who were trained at Lincoln University were personally sponsored and influenced by Zik. These pioneers later became the foundation of the Eastern Nigeria miracle and subsequent excellence we all miss today. Zik's major sin was that he failed to play tribal politics like Ahmadu Bello and Awolowo! That Zik was denied the Prime Minister position by whatever turn of events was Nigerias loss. Again,there is an unseen hand of the Colonialists in all these. All these should tell us clearly that Nigeria is not worthy of Zik and Igbos today given how elevated and noble our drives are. We can go on and on. Zik was only human so why should we expect perfection from him? Buhari today is a complete pestilence and disaster yet am sure some of the people rattling against Zik today voted for Buhari. Smh. 5 Likes |

Re: . by onuebonyi: 11:33pm On Oct 04, 2018 |
Zik is still being celebrated across Nigeria Ojukwu is still being celebrated in across Igbo land. So you can keep deceiving yourself online. lol |

nnamdijonathan: Nnamdijonathan God bless you,this piece of information is worth a million $s. Let's have open mind about this issue and read widely. The precolonial history recorded by explorers was without biase . There are so many similarities between jewish and igbo culture. The fact that the tradition was in practice before the coming explorers spoke volumes. I'm still on the fence but there are strong evidences not obtainable among other tribes in Nigeria. |
Re: . by basilo101: 11:35pm On Oct 04, 2018 |
Bede2u:That's why we must caution the celebrators. |

Bede2u:Okay Bede. One moment you admit knowing all the political and social forces that condition the acts of the above mentioned key Igbo leaders the next moment you revert back to sub par mode to cast aspersions on them. So what problems do you have with Ojukwu and Ironsi? Kindly state them before I respond. 1 Like |

Bede2u:Again,Zik was a man far ahead of his time. He was too advanced to be closet rat. He was not that endowed and educated to be a local chief. That tribal politics was elevated over matured and nationalistic politics is an indictment on Nigeria. It only showed Nigeria was unworthy of Zik. Perhaps Zik would have stayed back in America. Perhaps,he would have achieved what Obama attained in record time. Yes,he had that essence,graces and charisma. But I can bet you,if Zik had stayed back in America,all of us today will keep roasting and spitting on his unmarked grave and yelling how he was was an efulefu who abandoned his people and roots. But he came back and did his best. Just note that every Igbo man in reckoning from history till date fights both foreign and local demons. Reason it a for a moment. There's a lot hidden from public view sir. From King Jaja till date! Zik was only human. Nigeria don't deserve him. Above all,Nigeria don't deserve Igbos. 8 Likes 1 Share |
