Since Ike Omar Sanda Nwachukwu has decided to hide his genocide and war crimes record from 1967-70, and he will not state his activities during the civil war, we have begun the campaign to assure that Nd'Igbo will not be fooled by that murderous Hausa-Fulani mole called Ike Omar Sanda Nwachukwu. In "Et Tu Ike Omar Sanda Nwachukwu! -a 3-stage requiem to Nwachukwu's macabre ambition to become lord over all Igbo, James Ekechukwu gives us a fascinating glimse into the odious story of the "Igbo man" from the Kaduna Caliphate. Read more on Omar Sanda During the War, After the War, and his sinister ambition to become president over Nd'Igbo ...

Mazi Ekechukwu has done a great job of exposing one of the darkest characters in modern Igbo history.
READ MY LIPS!!!!
A man who took up arms against our people is not acceptable as our representative. Therefore, we shall do everything within our power to make sure that Ike Nwachukwu does not emerge president of BiafraNigeria. If stopping this murderer or campaigning against him means that we must campaign against the very idea of an Igbo presidency, WE ARE GOING TO CAMPAIGN AGAINST HIM. The fat man is a traitor.
He got in there while some of us were students. Now, not only are we going to stop him, we are going to stop his children too. Let there be no mistakes. The children of such man may be more dangerous than the man himself. If we let this man get away with what he did, his children and the other idiots that are supporting him for the presidency will soon start citing him as a model for Nd'Igbo. WE SHALL NOT PERMIT THAT TO HAPPEN.

It is better to have Obasnjo for a second term or to give Buhari a chance than to have Ike Nwachukwu. What that man did is against Igbo cultural norms. He needs to go and ask the elders of our lnd to cleanse him of that abomination.

Engineer Ekechukwu, A great shot on the right time, you spoke the mind of Nd'Igbo. kudos!
Omar Sanda Nwachukwu has been parading himself in the recent time to be the champion of the Igbo cause as if we are a people of no memory, he want to be the Nigerian President riding on the back of Nd'Igbo, what an irony and miscalculation!
Omar Nwachukwu, a traitor like you do not lead a nation, we know where you belong, you belong to the caliphate and that is it, you and your band of vandals killed our fathers and brothers, you raped our mothers and sisters and defiled them, we have not forgeteen and we will never forget, please recorganise that you and your children can only be given the back seat when it come's to the affiars of NdiIgbo, back seat is the least punishment for a man who took up arms and fought agianst his fatherland and his father's own people, that is Igbo magnamity! Thank heavens, we the children of Biafra survived Omar Nwachukwu and company.
I demand from Ohanaeze leadership to show this man the back seat, they most do that now if they are to be taken serious.

This one was written by an Ekwenche US stalwart at Biafra Actualisation forum(BAF). He was responding to a call by another Biafran for the disbandment of the Igbo nation if Omar sanda was the best Igbo can offer:
"If we have reached the stage when we can voluntarily only send those who killed us as our delegates, then it is time to disband the Igbo nation!"
Igbo mma mma nu, Umu New Biafra KWEEEENU - YAH!
The question that we must finally face up to is, Are all Igbo IGBO?
If you are the sworn enemy of Igbo, even if you are Igbo by birthright are you Igbo?
If you are in bed with those that are sworn to exterminate your brethren and you are Igbo by birthright, are you Igbo?
If you have the blood of your brethren all over your hands and you are Igbo by birthright, are you Igbo?
If your brethren are being slaughtered or marginalized and you seat on your hands when by opening your mouth you could have prevented the slaughter or marginalization, and you are Igbo by birthright, are you Igbo?
If when you know what is right and will move OHA forward and you accept a payoff to thwart the realization of what OHA wants, and even if you are Igbo by birthright, are you Igbo?
Umu Igbo, either you are with OHA or you are against OHA, there is no middle ground, if you are against OHA, are you Igbo?
No, we will not disband the Igbo nation, we will just help those who continue to thwart the wishes of OHA pack and get out of our mist, we must continue to expose all who in the name of Igbo continue to rape IGBO, be they an organization or not, no matter the strength of their organization, no matter the number of yearly jamboree they have to celebrate the demise of our way of life! Igbo is greater than any of us.
An Igbo nation based on the philosophy, COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP that is superior to all known models in the world, and tradition is on her way back. There will be no compromise and no going back!
For now we talk peace. Let those who interpret our peaceful stance as a sign of weakness be careful, for we are ready for an eye for an eye, but for now we will continue to take notes. All those who shed the blood of innocent Igbo lives no matter who they are will pay and will pay dearly, that is a promise!
Igbo Kweeeenu - YAH!
Nwa Biafra.

When the people of the Southwest decided that they did not want Obasanjo to become president, we made him president of the country. We thank you for letting us know that you do not want Mwachuku to be president. If we decide to give the presidency to the East, we will consider him very seriously. You have made our job easy.

I am glad you posted those questions. During one of his recent speeches in Washington, Ike Nwachukwu outlined what he claimed were his achievements and he complained that Nd'Igbo were opposing him simply because his mother is Hausa-Fulani. Such nonsense!!! I could care less if nwachukwu's mother was Punjabi.
This pattern of deliberating misstating the issue appears to be common among the bunch that calls itself Igbo elite. No one I know has ever pointed to Omar Sanda Nwachukwu's parentage as the crux of the issue. It has always been about Ike Omar Sanda Nwachukwu's conduct as a soldier in the Nigerian Army during the Biafra - Nigeria war or in the other positions that he has occupied.
In this murderous man, we are for the first time, perhaps, looking at a General who is ashamed to step forward to tell his people where he served them in uniform. Ordinarily, military service should be a tremendous boost to the profile of a man running for political office. I am confident that when Nwachukwu finally summons the courage to publish his military record, Nd'Igbo will agree that in asking them to vote him president of BiafraNigeria, Ike Omar Sanda Nwachukwu is asking Nd'Igbo to reward genocide, and do so collectively. Tufiakwa!!!

James Ekechukwu with his poetic and charismatic poignancy has nailed another one dead straight.
In my above posting, I was momentarily moved by the spirit, after reading OU's greeting I could'nt resist.
It is not often that you come across someone else speaking your mind as clearly as you think it, this I experienced in the postings of Bro Onyema, sista Adaeze, Bro Ralph Njoku, Bro Okwyonwuka, Bro Damian and finally, Bro OU whose postings I havent seen in the longest time.
Please keep the momentum going.

I salute you. I have been involved in many oganihu projects hence my absence. You guys have rendered me redundant with you commitment in this board. Jide nu ka unu ji.
The writing I posted was from an Ekwenche brother in Chicago, and the credit should go to him.
Okwyonwuka:
Your friend in London said I should greet you.

Boy O Boy! That Ekechukwu guy has caused a severe setback to any dreams that Ike Nwachukwu has about leadership. As far as I can see, it is not only the Igbo people that should worry about a man like that. What is bad for the Igbo is bad for the Ibibio. Ike Nwachukwu is terrible news.

What a wonderful piece. By the way the Hausa bloodsucker parading himself as an Igboman never came to Houston for the Isiukwuato convention. The whole thing was just a f???????? hoax.

James Ekechukwu's essay is a masterpiece and it did send the message at the right time. I hope Ike Omar Sanda Nwachukwu and his supporters will now know Igbos do not have time for traitors like them. Whoever backs Nwachukwu is also a traitor, period!
Several months ago in several Igbo discussion fora, I stated exactly why Ike Nwachukwu would not be tolerated as leader over Nd’Igbo. If that was not “mature discourse” for some, James Ekechukwu spent a little more time on the subject, in “Et Tu, Ike Omar Sanda Nwachukwu.” All of you read it. Obi Nwakanma gave you a mix of “mature” and unmistakable reasons why Nwachukwu would not be tolerated to lead Nd’Igbo. Ken Okorie chipped in. Yet, you continued to feign ignorance. You resorted to twisting the issue – making forlorn allusions to Nwachukwu’s parentage, a lousy subterfuge that Nwachukwu himself orchestrated in his speeches in Houston and Washington.
Then, Dikeanatuegwu decided that some of you must need more help comprehending that which was already simple. With characteristic ease, he broke it down further for you. I suppose it was too clear for you that time. There is no longer a hiding place from which you could confuse the issue. Hence, this new “mature discussion” nonsense.
It is delusional for anyone to think that we will permit any Igbo discussion group to be safe for irresponsibility a.k.a. “mature discussions,” while the supposed “mature men” serve the interests of Igbo traitors. If you are shining shoes for a traitor, don’t expect us to call you anything other than a shoe shiner for a traitor. I don’t care how many old Mercedes Benz cars you drive. Some of us don’t even like Mercedes Benz cars. We prefer BMW.
Frankly, I am involved in these discussions, not only to impact the content, but also to affect the tone. There is a wrong and right tone for telling a traitor and his agents off. There is certainly no particular tone that a traitor has a right to demand from the victims of his treachery. I have nothing to gain from holding a “mature discussion” with any person who wishes to thereby make Igboland safe for Ike-Omar-Sanda-Nwachukwu-type treachery.
We have already seen that persons like Dr. Ken Okorie who went to Houston and failed to tell Nwachukwu exactly what they think about him are now being accused of giving the traitor a standing ovation. If they had told him off, the same shoe shiners would have accused Ken and others of interfering with their “mature discussion” in Houston. It is a catch 22. So, call a spade a spade. Call a shoe shiner a shoe shiner.
“Mature discussion” has thus far consisted of the idiocy that Nd’Igbo should elect a traitor simply because the traitor is said to be “eloquent and articulate.” Some even allude to the evil charisma that Nwachukwu is said to possess. I suppose such evil charisma is part of the new “sexy Igboness” that Ekechukwu wrote about in "Et Tu, Ike Omar Sanda Nwachukwu." Hitler and his butchers were eloquent, articulate, and charismatic too. They articulated genocide and implemented it with the finesse and “charisma” fit for Satan. Yet, Hitler and his butchers were better than Ike Nwachukwu. At least they were loyal to Germany.
After Nd’Igbo put their house in order, there will be plenty of time for any type of discussion we wish to have. We have an emergency in Igboland, and a couple of ruffled feathers is the least of my concern at the moment.
The same people who defend the lousy proposition that Ike Nwachukwu did not owe or breach a duty of loyalty to Igbo from 1967-70 or that Nwachukwu’s war criminality constitutes a proper discharge of his duties, those same people are insisting today that we owe Nwachukwu a minimum of “mature discussion.” Nonsense.
I wonder how mature the discussions were as innocent Igbo children, men, and women were hacked to death in Asaba by Nwachukwu and his Hausa-Fulani cousins led by Murtala Muhammed. Oh! I forgot, we are supposed to be thankful that Nwachukwu could not be present at every massacre scene or participate physically and fully in every of the orgies of murder that his cousins carried out in Ala Igbo.
I used to think that some of the nonsense I read in Igbo discussion forums owed their nature to the inferior genre of subject matter in which some of the people in those fora earned the Ph.Ds that they append to their writing. Now I know better. No one could be so dumb. I know now that in most cases, the authors of some of the garbage are only pretending to be stupid. They pretend to be stupid so that they may say anything, no matter how absurd and call it just another point of view to be accepted or considered in the egbe-bere-ugo-bere vein. Sorry Sir. NO CIGAR!!!!!!!!

Solid points, I have said it before and continue to insist that where the Igbo elite is concerned there is an inverse relationship between PHD and common sense. The more of the first they acquire the little of the later they retain.
Let the "mature" bag carriers lay their hopes of paying off their mortgage on Omar Sanda, it will be another disappointment ala Ekwueme for them. Our generation has spoken through the likes of Ekechukwu, we have no business with this traitor. He can seek the presidency all he likes it changes nothing about the truth that he participated in the extermination of his people.
All these people seeking an easy way out of the daily struggle of living in America will support the devil if he offers an opportunity to be special adviser or commissioner. Right now let's see how Na'abba is going to get rid of Obasanjo and give the presidency to them. I guess they are tired of their Obasanjo loves Ndigbo fairy tale and seek to reap somewhere else, well given that the likes of Chikwe and Maduekwe have made good can you really blame them ?

Thanks for your comments. This topic at the Igbo discussion forums has now degenerated into something that provoked the following entry from me. I am aware that these posts of mine don't fit nicely into this thread, but it gives an insight into the trajectory of dicourse in many an Igbo discussion group. Enjoy!
GET OVER YOUR LOUSY SELVES: We are all Diasporans, Refugees, and Exiles
From Chinua Achebe to the lowliest one amongst you, you are all refugees. Whether you migrated abroad as a teenager to attend school and you stayed back to work in your field of study, flailed around at all sorts of crazy jobs unrelated to your field of study, or you migrated abroad after you are more than thirty years old on some scholarship originally scheduled for one year and you resorted to renewing the stipends indefinitely, essentially becoming a welfare case, an economic burden to the United States, while working at worthless internships reserved for people that are truly resident back home, you are a refugee stuck in exile. You are a Diasporan. If you are the latter, you are a Diasporan type 2. You are as much like Nnamani and Mbadinuju as anyone else in Diaspora. Until all of you get that simple truth into your arrogant heads, you waste your time. You are all refugees abroad because your land, Igboland, is enemy occupied territory, and the enemy has control over your land and the resources therein. No amount of protests to the contrary will obviate your refugee status. My people, stop lying to yourselves about who you are.
The next paragraph of my write-up is addressed, in part, to my brother, Rex Marinus, whom I hereby congratulate on the new addition to his family.
I take nothing away from the aphorism that goes “it is not the quantity but the quality …,” when I say that these days, any time spent overseas by any of you who are passionate about Igboland is evidence that you have failed to acquire the tools with which to free Nd’Igbo from bondage. Without prejudice to the merits of meeting heads of state and government, a janitor at the embassy of Bangladesh or the embassy of Panya is more likely to meet heads of state and government or meet more of them than the CEO of certain Fortune 500 companies. Besides, there is a lot to be said about a man’s triangular lifestyle if it revolves around the apex and intellectual essence of one’s profession. Most scholars don’t encounter foreign heads of state on a regular basis. As I have personally met some of Africa’s despots and the leaders of several other countries, I am uncertain that there is value in my having met them. May I also add that pool cleaners and hedge cutters are more likely to meet movie stars at their homes in Hollywood than say Donald Trump. Does this mean that quality is in the eyes of the beholder?
How did we go from discussing Omar Sanda to this? Only in Igbo discussion forums. I will continue nonetheless.
Diaspora 1 v. Diaspora 2+ (The Young, the Not so Young, and the Old, in no particular order)
The truth is somewhere in-between. Most people who migrate to the US after they are older (25-years or more) bring the advantage of a lifetime, so to speak, of experiences. They are less likely to make some of the mistakes that are a part of growing up for any young person. In many cases, their own hard life has taught them the value of caution. The older you are, the more cautious you are, usually.
But, history is not made by cautious men. It is made by the bold and the daring. For most of the Igbo Diaspora 2 exiles (the old and the not so young), there was no opportunity at home, or they saw none, to exhibit bravery or boldness in national (BiafraNigerian) life. They are usually the products of the Alex Ekwueme/Okadigbo era of Igboism, a timid era whose epitaph was signed twice, first in Jos when Ekwueme was eased out of national relevance in BiafraNigeria and cowardice as national (Igbo) policy was utterly discredited, and in 2000 when Ogbunike Cave was not enough to shield the Oyi from a Hausa-Fulani stooge of Yoruba stock in Aso Rock who knew that Oyi was an empty man with no base in Igboland. I shall digress no more.
But, from the point of view that experience is an invaluable teacher, those exiles who migrate and settle abroad when they are older are at a severe disadvantage. The US, for example, is one of the most age-conscious societies anywhere, and persons arriving here in later life (after age 25) are effectively precluded, on the basis of their age, from participating in a whole spectrum of the activities that define national life in the US. You are simply too old to even get involved. There is only so much that you can learn from reading about a culture or attending cliché seminars about a country and its people. It is somewhat like the difference between a Scientist and an Engineer, except that the older immigrants are no more scientists than the their younger immigrant engineer analogs.
I have given classes in commercial law to BiafraNigerian lawyers sent to the US under the US Commerce Department (BiafraNigeria/US) commercial law development program. I have had the opportunity to interact with the sprinkling of Igbo lawyers that have made the trip. I know the difficulty that some of these older immigrants have faced as they absconded their visas and decided to settle in the US. Worse than that, the inadequacy of their intellectual background and their confusions about the subject matter of law itself is manifest even in their own writing and statements about the laws of BiafraNigeria. In its main, the survival of this bunch in life abroad has subsisted in working in fields only tangentially related to their professed calling to the profession of law, and to other areas arguably offensive to the very notion of legal scholarship.
So you could tell I was not done. I wanted to give a quick response to the suggestions, by opposing camps, that people who stay in one country for a long time become wise, or that ordinary people people who trot around where they meet dignitaries are therefore enjoying a fuller life experience.
