Still keeping very busy and I sincerely hope and pray my effort will be visible soonest.
Kind regards, OU

Nwachukwu certainly needs luck to make the case that a mass murderer like him should get the Igbo vote. From what I am hearing, Nwachukwu is finished politically. Nwachukwu also had the following to say for himself,
quote: I offer myself as bridge that binds the country (north and south, east and west, Christian and Moslem) together." He continued: "Born of an Igbo father and an Hausa Fulani mother, I am married to a Yoruba lady whose mother is Kalabari. I am Nigeria personified."
Yes, Nwachukwu is genocide personified, and if he continues to remind us that his mother comes from a murderous family in the North, he should not blame anyone for dragging his mother into the debate.

From the Outside that message from Ojukwu may seem like he is with Ike Nwachukwu, however on close examination that is the most lookwarm wish I ever seen. That is nothing but kiss of death. Ike Nwachukwu needs all the luck he can get, because it is going to be an uphill task for him.

Those who know this Ike Nwachukwu should tell him in a very clear voice that he should find another means to realise his ambition as otherwise proves insensitiveness and insult to the collective Igbo inteligence, reward to trecheary and rubbish of every sence of patrotism to one's fatherland. Ike Nwachukwu, we will not send you niether will we support you. you are wasting your time. Ike Nwachukwu, if you step your foot on Ogbunike soil any time whithin the 2003 political campaign, aja-ana Ogbunike will make you drop dead. Igbo do not send triators!

I have decided to stay away from anything relating to Ike Omar Sanda Nwachukwu for the fact that it is not relevant. Nwachukwu, if we really know who we are, should not be discussed in any Igbo-related issues.
Before the WIC's Houston Summit, I had given up two years ago, when in Dallas, Abubakar Rimi appeared as a special guest of honor.
In the lead-up to last months World Igbo Congress in Houston, Texas, there had been worries that, like previous conventions, and as the Igbo nation was becoming desperate in producing an Igbo president come 2003, the Houston summuit as mandated, tailored by the Houston-based organizers projected a "solid Igbo" presidential candidate catapulting the traitor, Nwachukwu, as Igbo presidential aspirant front-runner.
Igbo dignitaries from all walks of life came to Houston with the hope the timing was well-calculated and had arrived for Igbo presidential mandate.
Ironically, the confused bunch came to run a show of their own interest. It is obvious, none of these efulefu bunch arrived Houston to address the sorry state of Igbo issues from the bottom of their heart. All were political shenanigans coupled with their Houston-based drug barons as coattails.
I really feel disgusted when Igbos engage themselves--pros and cons--debating aggressively Nwachukwu's presidential aspirations. Like I said, the case of Nwachukwu should not have arised in the first place. Nwachukwu, in this case, is like telling the Kurds to support Saddam Husseine's decades of tranny against them whom he gased. It is like the Jews backing Hitler and the ethnic Albanians endorsing Milosevic. It is even like the United States supporting John Walker for president, not Taliban John Walker Lindh, in the naval intelligence espionage.
It is an abomination, and I believe enough has been said about this war criminal who never confessed for his brutality against his own people.
I wish Nwachukwu well, but let him bear in mind the souls of innocent men, women and children who perished during the pogrom will never be in vain until a resolve is reached.

"I offer myself as bridge that binds the country north, east, south and west. christian and moslem] together..He continued Born of Igbo father and Hausa Fulani mother. I am married to a Yoruba lady whose mother is Kalabari. I am a Nigerian personified" Ike Nwachukwu
The above statement is demonstrative of a very desparate fella wanting to be accepted for who he is and not what he represent. His blood line depicts a feeling of both a rebel and inferior person, obviously from his father's affectionate swing with an Hausa woman. There is no doubt in my assessment that his father may have been rejected or turned down by a gorgeous Igbo woman for not measuring to her standard only to rebel by taking an Hausa. That feeling of rebel with cause continued with their role in Biafara/Nigeria war.
Ike is an obvious transfer of racial preference outside his race and a dislike for an Igbo woman by his father.They prefer women who are subserviant or sub rather than the one who can measure up to them.What is it to marry an Hausa woman over an Igbo woman? And what is it to have a rainbow family in Igbo land? probably, nothing but an act of rebel. A Hausa, a Yoruba and a Kalabari shows a disturbed pattern of someone in search of One Nigeria. I am touched.
There is no reasonable expectation of special priviledges for having a mixed race family. Come to think of it, it's kind of very odd though for a man to use his blood line as political manisfesto. Not a good family values. But this is Ike, a patriot and a Nigerian personified.
This man is bleeding in his heart, begging to be loved, already branded by his kinfolk as a person with the lowest mind for his role in the Biafra/Nigeria war compounded by his father's role to step outside the closed boundries within his tribe by marrying ONYE MBA . Ike couldn't have cried any better for desparately wanting a parternal love from his kinfolk to enable him take the highest honor of the land.
This man is desparate, unBiafran and should be ignored. Having a rainbow family gets you know where with Ndi Igbo, it just simply complicates your adventure.
Hail Biafra

If Ike Nwachukwu is contesting under the platform of his political party with his agenda intact, what is all the fuss about his ethnic heritage? I don't get it.

He want Biafranigerians to vote for him not because of what he represents but because his family is of diversed culture and therefore is a superior skill over others to make Biafranigeria a viable economy. Nzeogwu's name was also Kaduna, Nnamdi Azikiwe named one of his children an Hausa, same to Awolowo, yet this style of divesity could not make Biafranigeria a better place. What happened to platforms like the economy, education, social justice and science and tech? Charming for a politician to compaign under the platform of inter marriage over economic and social development. And since you asked, his family background does matter and raises a contentious issue about his leadership. Hail Biafra

Did you see how the Nwachukwu apologists are? Let them come and defend him in an open forum instead of spewing their nonsense in the behind closed doors Igbo Forum. They are good at running their mouth where nobody can challenge them. "Am very glad some very few took them to the task--their hogwash and Nwachukwu's presidency.

The speech that cost Major Gideon Gwarza Orkar his life. How dare he insult the caliphate when Omar Sandar is there to defend their interest?. I see that some egbeomo one-nigerinas are now invoking the spirit of the dead Orkar. Too late.
"Fellow Nigerian Citizens,
On behalf of the patriotic and well-meaning peoples of the Middle Belt and the southern parts of this country, I , Major Gideon Orkar, wish to happily inform you of the successful ousting of the dictatorial, corrupt, drug baronish, evil man, deceitful, homo- sexually-centered, prodigalistic, un-patriotic administration of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida. We have equally commenced their trials for unabated corruption, mismanagement of national economy, the murders of Dele Giwa, Major-General Mamman Vatsa, with other officers as there was no attempted coup but mere intentions that were yet to materialise and other human rights violations.
The National Guard already in its formative stage is disbanded with immediate effect. Decrees Number 2 and 46 are hereby abrogated. We wish to emphasise that this is not just another coup but a well conceived, planned and executed revolution for the marginalised, oppressed and enslaved peoples of the Middle Belt and the south with a view to freeing ourselves and children yet unborn from eternal slavery and colonisation by a clique of this country.
Our history is replete with numerous and uncontrollable instances of callous and insensitive dominatory repressive intrigues by those who think it is their birthright to dominate till eternity the political and economic privileges of this great country to the exclusion of the people of the Middle Belt and the south.
They have almost succeeded in subjugating the Middle Belt and making them voiceless and now extending same to the south.
It is our unflinching belief that this quest for domination, oppression and marginalisation is against the wish of God and therefore, must be resisted with the vehemence.
Anything that has a beginning must have an end. It will also suffice here to state that all Nigerians without skeleton in their cupboards need not to be afraid of this change. However, those with skeleton in their cupboards have all reasons to fear, because the time of reckoning has come.
For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state the three primary reasons why we have decided to oust the satanic Babangida administration. The reasons are as follows:
(a) To stop Babangida's desire to cunningly, install himself as Nigeria's life president at all costs and by so doing, retard the progress of this country for life. In order to be able to achieve this undesirable goals of his, he has evidently started destroying those groups and sections he perceived as being able to question his desires.
Examples of groups already neutralised, pitched against one another or completely destroyed are:
(1) The Sokoto caliphate by installing an unwanted Sultan to cause division within the hitherto strong Sokoto caliphate.
(2) The destruction of the peoples of Plateau State, especially the Lantang people, as a balancing force in the body politics of this country.
(3) The buying of the press by generous monetary favours and the usage of State Security Service, SSS, as a tool of terror.
(4) The intent to cow the students by the promulgation of the draconian decree Number 47.
(5) The cowing of the university teaching and non-teaching staff by an intended massive purge, using the 150 million dollar loan as the necessitating factor.
(6) Deliberately withholding funds to the armed forces to make them ineffective and also crowning his diabolical scheme through the intended retrenchment of more than half of the members of the armed forces.
Other pointers that give credence to his desire to become a life president against the wishes of the people are:
(1) His appointment of himself as a minister of defence, his putting under his direct control the SSS, his deliberate manipulation of the transition programme, his introduction of inconceivable, unrealistic and impossible political options, his recent fraternisation with other African leaders that have installed themselves as life presidents and his dogged determination to create a secret force called the national guard, independent of the armed forces and the police which will be answerable to himself alone, both operationally and administratively.
It is our strong view that this kind of dictatorial desire of Babangida is unacceptable to Nigerians of the 1990's, and, therefore, must be resisted by all.
(b) Another major reason for the change is the need to stop intrigues, domination and internal colonisation of the Nigerian state by the so-called chosen few. This, in our view, has been and is still responsible for 90 percent of the problems of Nigerians. This indeed has been the major clog in our wheel of progress.
This clique has an unabated penchant for domination and unrivalled fostering of mediocrity and outright detest for accountability, all put together have been our undoing as a nation.
This will ever remain our threat if not checked immediately. It is strongly believed that without the intrigues perpetrated by this clique and misrule, Nigeria will have in all ways achieved developmental virtues comparable to those in Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, India, and even Japan.
Evidence, therefore, this cancerous dominance has as a factor constituted by a major and unpardonable clog in the wheel of progress of the Nigerian state. (Sic) It is suffice to mention a few distasteful intrigues engineered by this group of Nigerians in recent past. These are:
(1) The shabby and dishonourable treatment meted on the longest serving Nigerian general in the person of General Domkat Bali, who in actual fact had given credibility to the Babangida administration.
(2) The wholesale hijacking of Babangida's administration by the all powerful clique.
(3) The disgraceful and inexplicable removal of Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, Professor Tam David-West, Mr. Aret Adams and so on from office.
(4) The now-pervasive and on-going retrenchment of Middle Belt and southerners from public offices and their instant replacement by the favoured class and their stooges.
(5) The deliberate disruption of the educational culture and retarding its place to suit the favoured class to the detriment of other educational minded parts of this country.
(6) The deliberate impoverishment of the peoples from the Middle Belt and the south, making them working ghosts and feeding on the formulae of 0-1-1- or 0-0-0 while the aristocratic class and their stooges are living in absolute affluence on a daily basis without working for it.
(7) Other countless examples of the exploitative, oppressive, dirty games of intrigues of its class, where people and stooges that can best be described by the fact that even though they contribute very little economically to the well being of Nigeria, they have over the years served and presided over the supposedly national wealth derived in the main from the Middle Belt and the southern part of this country, while the people from these parts of the country have been completely deprived from benefiting from the resources given to them by God.
(c) The third reason for the change is the need to lay a strong egalitarian foundation for the real democratic take off of the Nigerian state or states as the circumstances may dictate.
In the light of all the above and in recognition of the negativeness of the aforementioned aristocratic factor, the overall progress of the Nigerian state a temporary decision to excise the following states namely, Sokoto, Borno, Katsina, Kano and Bauchi states from the Federal Republic of Nigeria comes into effect immediately until the following conditions are met.
The conditions to be met to necessitate the re-absorption of the aforementioned states are as following:
(i) To install the rightful heir to the Sultanate, Alhaji Maccido, who is the people's choice.
(ii) To send a delegation led by the real and recognised Sultan Alhaji Maccido to the federal government to vouch that the feudalistic and aristocratic quest for domination and operation will be a thing of the past and will never be practised in any part of the Nigeria state.
By the same token, all citizens of the five states already mentioned are temporarily suspended from all public and private offices in Middle Belt and southern parts of this country until the mentioned conditions above are met.
They are also required to move back to their various states within one week from today. They will, however, be allowed to return and joint the Federal Republic of Nigeria when the stipulated conditions are met.
In the same vein, all citizens of the Middle Belt and the south are required to come back to their various states pending when the so- called all-in-all Nigerians meet the conditions that will ensure a united Nigeria. A word is enough for the wise.
This exercise will not be complete without purging corrupt public officials and recovering their ill-gotten wealth, since the days of the oil boom till date. Even in these hard times, when Nigerians are dying from hunger, trekking many miles to work for lack of transportation, a few other Nigerians with complete impunity are living in unbelievable affluence both inside and outside the country.
We are extremely determined to recover all ill-gotten wealth back to the public treasury for the use of the masses of our people. You are all advised to remain calm as there is no cause for alarm. We are fully in control of the situation as directed by God. All airports, seaports and borders are closed forthwith.
The former Armed Forces Ruling Council is now disbanded and replaced with National Ruling Council to be chaired by the head of state with other members being a civilian vice-head of state, service chiefs, inspector general of police, one representative each from NLC, NUJ, NBA, and NANS.
A curfew is hereby imposed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. until further notice. All members of the armed forces and the police forces are hereby confined to their respective barracks.
All unlawful and criminal acts by those attempting to cause chaos will be ruthlessly crushed. Be warned as we are prepared at all costs to defend the new order.
All radio stations are hereby advised to hook on permanently to the national network programme until further notice.
Long live all true patriots of this great country of ours. May God and Allah through his bountiful mercies bless us all."

My take on this particular speech by Gideon Orkar is one of ambivalence.
It is on proven record the wickedness perpetuated on Igbos and Biafrans by the middle belt clique of which so many of these players originate. The repeated mention of "Middle belt and the South" in that particular order, the lack of acknowledgement of the country's wrong history and other particulars other than the personalization against IBB, and sympathy for Domcat Bali etc. (with Ebitu Ukiwe thrown in for good measure) simply tells me that we dodged another bullet possibly a more wicked one.
Imagine what it would be like if someone from the so-called agrieved Nigerian minorities (other than Biafrans) mounts power, their major goal would be to perpetuate the illusion of One-Nigeria, most likely at the expense of Igbos and Biafrans in order to impress especially those they view as masters, the same people who see fit today to ignore and overlook the criminal murder of countless innocent Igbo and Biafran civilians (and even revise history to exculpate themselves and others) because of their perception of an "Igbo coup" mounted by Nzeogwu and others and their suspicion of "Igbo takeover" by Aguiyi Ironsi and co.
These are the people who now see themselves as "oppressed" just because "what goes around comes around" has come to them.
Of course this does'nt change my opinion of Omar Sanda as an untrustworthy (of Igbo support) sellout.
