Ojukwu: Ijele Ndigbo (1933-2011)
As arrangement for the burial of late Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu gets underway, starting February 21 to March 2, Vanguard is asking for contributions reactions, papers etc. on the Ikemba Nnewi and his place in Nigeria’s history.
Controversy often trails the Ikemba – in life and in death; while some say he loved Nigeria, others say he loved Biafra and his people. Some call for a state burial for his contributions to nationhood, others prefer his being buried by his people, the Ndigbo.
What is the place of Odumegwu Ojukwu in Nigeria’s history?
