Surrounded by trusted friends and family in a political setting. Ojukwu was the leader of the political party APGA
APGA
Historic Day
Ojukwu on the day Biafra was declared in response to the attempted balkanization of the then Eastern Region 3 days earlier after the Nigeria led government reneged on the Aburi Accord.
Young Ojukwu
This is where it all began - the great Iroko tree looking into the future. Would he have known at this time that he had a date with destiny?
Duty Calls
With many options available to him, he chose to defend his people
Political leader
He asked the people of Anambra state to grant his request and the people of Anambra state obliged, naturally!
“There is absolutely no way you can look at the Nigerian federation, the way it was conceived, and say it is a good federation. One of the federating units is bigger than the other units. The other thing is that everything that has worked in Nigeria, or appears to have worked, seems very much to have been an imposition. The idea that sovereignty belongs to the Nigerian people is all fiction as far as Nigeria is concerned.”
Welcome to Ojukwu Lives On website, this is an attempt to deconstruct the lies and misinformation about this great Igbo son and to keep the records straight especially now that he won't be around to defend himself from some of the wicked lies that are being spread by people that are already consumed with hate!
Feel free to sign the condolence register, post your tributes, post Ikemba's speeches, photos and help deal with the facts as regards the misinformation and lies out there!
Ojukwu stood by his people and defended them! It is only fair, just and right that we should defend him today and forever because he helped stop the planned annihilation of the Igbo race!
