That ojukwu speaks yoruba fluently does not make him a traitor. I dont think he learnt it today. And by the way he also speaks awusa fluently. For him to be having factional problems with Okorie does not make him a traitor. For Him to be having discussions/negotiations with obj.does not (yet) make him a traitor. Its politics game. I still give Ikemba benefit of doubt.
Ochiwar, thank you.

quote:Whatever happens, Ojukwu is now officially the leader of the Anambra faction of APGA. What was the Ikemba thinking? How much money did they give him?
Where did Ojukwu get N.5 Million that he could give to those clowns? The man has no money of his own, and he is known to be Mr. Stingy. How much did Ojukwu give to APGA during his entire campaign for president? It is simple; Obasanjo gave Ojukwu the money and put Ojukwu in his pocket.
The man is hopelessly incapable of finishing what he starts. When the heat is on, he runs away. He has now abandoned the so-called "Igbo National Assembly," which he co-founded with Chekwas Okorie, or perhaps, INA is now his Plan B for when he is driven out of Ohanaeze.
quote:I am not impressed. Chekwas Okorie's English Language was good enough when he handed the presidential candidacy to Ojukwu and Ojukwu shamelessly accepted it. All the garbage that Ojukwu is currently spouting about Obasanjo is just a cover for Ojukwu's duplicituous behavior.
.......One should therefore reasonably hold back uninformed senseless comments until the recent information Ikemba recieved is known.Except when he merely wants to mud smear the man for no reason at all.It is not easy for Ikemba to just dump his bossom friend and founder of the party Chekwas.But the survival of APGA as a political entity from the intrigues deployed by the Obasanjo led PDP might have tilted the show to the side of party conservative hardliners like Umeh.
One should always wait for the full picture before jumping to conclusion and insulting his grand father.Most of them jump out from obscurity to cast aspersion at the slightest oppurtunity on the person of Ikemba and sneak back into the darkness.I would not be afraid to reply these three categories of Igbo adversaries namely the- Efulefus (bearing Igbo names but are unconcious or in coma when Igbos are given a raw deal),the Islamic jihadists or their Yoruba accomplice who see anything Igbo as bad and deserves destruction using all imaginable tricks in the bag and sometimes brute force.
Njiko UmuIgbo, thank you.

Personally, I most confess to have a big admirations of Chekwes Okorie, if not for anything, his courage that portrays him as an Igboman of great potent; who knows, in politics exist nighty nine percent of disagreement and conflict opportunity, recent events has shown that not even APGA is in exception, what should be important to all and sundry is the quick resolution of the this particular disagreement which i consider a strategical disagreement among brothers.
Ding ding ding ding dingd ding!!! JACKPOT!!!
OkwyOnwuka My brother very acurately spoken, thank you.

quote:It is not reasonable to expect to have perfect leaders. Ojukwu is not perfect. I have never imagined he is a saint. But keeping to basic principles is the least the Igbos can expect from him. Chekwas Okorie has worked tirelessly to defend him and the Igbo cause. I have not heard Peter Obi as much as I have heard Chekwas Okorie regarding the Anambara crisis. The manner he was discarded by Ojukwu is shocking.
quote:It is a very disappointing development. Besides, how long is Ojukwu going to boast about his so-called Oxford education and a degree in history, of all mundane subjects, whose only visible product to his people is a concocted Oxford accent?
quote:I guess Ojukwu is being "strategic" in APGA the same way that Ifeajuna, Banjo, and Njoku were being "strategic" in Biafra. For their effort Ojukwu executed the ones he could. If there is any shred of truth in the "strategy" theory, the Ikemba had better start speaking, and fast. Otherwise, next time his enemies go after him, we might be tempted to conclude that it is all about "strategy," and there is nothing to worry about. You don't engage in bold-faced treachery and pass it off as "strategic" manoeuvre, just because your name is Ojukwu. What sort of strategy did he need 71-years to perfect?
quote:Any future plan towards the improvement of the lot of Ndi Igbo must not include a place for Ojukwu or any other individuals. We should promote ideas and not individuals.
Ojukwu is a strategist. I am not alarmed yet by this decision assigned him. I have tossed it and have tossed it. There are strategic reasons that can be posited for this turn of events. Did you notice that the Umeh group are not jubilating or making victory pronouncements? There is something to it. On my own without any hint from the inside, I will say it has strategic significance. When you have 3 children, and one is kidnapped, or is sick, you will go sleep or stay with the sick one to make sure it does not die. Ojukwu has not said he has abandoned the Okorie faction. All he said was that they asked him and he accepted. To prevent further infights, it makes sense for him to accept that offer. Who should he leave it to? By accepting it, he puts himself in position to effect peace and tranquility plus reunite the two factions at the right time. Ojukwu is APGA in public eyes and like a true father, he chased after the run way child to bring it solace and warm its heart. Uneh needs a way out of his quagmire. His face must be saved.
Gibberish, but am not surprised because it emanated from a clueless guy called chima
FOLKS Some of you guys don't get it. Ojukwu has nothing to explain to anyone. I am certain that Ojukwu is one of the few Igbo's alive today,who will not sell us out to anyone. You may wish to disagree with me that's fine.
Chima Njoku, thank you.

Doesn't mean the Igbo should copy a Pa this, Pa that-based kabiesi, prostrating culture, that has no respect for meritocracy or expertise. If Odumegwu Ojukwu does something wrong to undermine his well earned EzeIgbo Gburu-Gburu title, that he is a 71 year old grand father is no defence.
But the truth is that Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu has nothing to do with the latest money-induced threachery against the Igbo nation, and has done nothing wrong in the current APGA disagreements to deserve the criticisms from the fly-by-night Ojukwu fault finders that have suddenly appeared on this board. Chekwas Okorie is a respected Igbo leader, but may not be strategic enough to stay ahead of the nigerian tricksters in the Anambra case, and in the crude nigerian game. He certainly needs the wisdom and councel of a well-schooled "nigerialogist" like the Ikemba to clear the fog. If that means Okorie has to be temporarily sidelined to get justice for Peter Obi and APGA, so be it.
NdiIgbo certainly need Odumegwu Ojukwu to protect Igbo interests in the latest constitutional gimmick olusegun obasanjo and the nigerians are plotting to impose on Igbo. Those working on other fronts, including armed resistance to end nigerian control of Biafran oil wealth, need the examples already set by Ojukwu. The Igbo aimchair critics can join these efforts and help, rather than flare up each time Odumegwu Ojukwu is mentioned.
Hail Biafra!!
Amadi O, thank you.

CSE, It is better to weigh out the known facts and be fair to all than to jump the gun. Thank you.

If Ojukwu made a decision to join one faction of APGA based on information available to him, that's fine. What about his support for Obasanjo's dialogue? What we know so far is that 36 states will send 144 out of 400 delegates. Of the remaining 256 delegates, Obasanjo will appoint 50 directly and 206 from organisations which his government will choose. There are also the murky bits about the national assembly ratifying whatever the national dialogue comes up with. Without delving into more details it is apparent that Obasanjo's dialogue is no more than his monologue echoed by a selected audience. What is Ojukwu's strategy? How does he hope to make an impact given the imbalance in favour of the ruling dictator?
CSE, my brother it is definitely better to ask questions than jump to conclusions prematurely. Thank you.
