OJUKWU, THE PEOPLE’S GENERAL, GOES MARCHING ON TO A HIGHER GLORY (3)

It was simply a choice between Biafra and enslavement (Odumegwu Emeka Ojukwu)

Continued from Part 2

he President who was previously scheduled to arrive Enugu State on March 1, 2012 for the final honor to the Late General, according to a source (247ureports.com), cancelled his already concluded visited to Enugu State on the grounds of Governor Sullivan Chime ill-attitude towards the burial arrangement. This is as the President’s security handlers received informational report of the potential scantiness in the preparations put in place against security of the President and participants -particularly citing the importance of the Enugu State leg of the burial to the Eastern region and the Nation. On this note, the President cancelled the planned visit to Enugu. Mr President shifted his visit to March 2, 2012 at Nnewi, Anambra State.

Upfront here, please know that the representatives of the countries that recognised Biafra during the Nigeria Civil War – Gabon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Tanzania, and Zambia – arrived Enugu on Wednesday for Thursday’s (March 1) funeral activities and Friday’s interment programme for the late Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu. African Examiner of March 01, 2012 wrote “Gabon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Tanzania and Zambia---the countries which recognized the Republic of Biafra during the 30-month Nigerian civil war have sent their representatives for the final burial rites of Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu. These countries had during the war recognized the Biafran side led by Ojukwu and in fact extended military assistance to Biafra in the prosecution of the war. The representatives, who arrived Enugu on Wednesday, are to witness the funeral activities billed for Thursday as well as the interment on Friday before returning to their respective countries. The representatives, it was gathered, are expected to deliver official condolence messages to the federal government as well as the bereaved family at the final burial rites”.

This column thanks these countries immensely for remembering us, for keeping the faith in us and for still loving us. May God bless them the more, and there’s no doubt that our depart hero, General Ojukwu, is also thanking them wherever he’s now. Hopefully, the time will come for Ndiigbo to reciprocate all these countries did for us during the war and thereafter (it shouldn’t only be a one-way traffic all the time). These countries were friends in our time of need; and they are still friends today, so they are friends indeed. We are really grateful!

Let’s continue looking at who Ojukwu was and what he did!

Ojukwu the innovator!

Although oil power defeated Biafra (the western powers fought on the side of Nigeria in order to continue controlling the purse and pulse of our oil), but, Ojukwu gave a good account of himself and his leadership. A most important key to successful leadership is in one’s ability to direct and challenge the very best that is in those whom he leads. Warren G. Bennis (1925) noted that "Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality", Ojukwu was a consummate innovator and he achieved no mean feat, just as Chris Patten (1944) wrote that "But the ability to articulate what you are doing, to be clear about it, and to stick to it is, I think, the essence of political leadership”. Ken Blanchard (1939) and Phil Hodges noted that „Leadership is anytime you seek to influence the thinking, behavior, or development of others", and, The Pyramid Climbers meant that "Leadership is the art of getting others to want to do what you know should be done." What Ojukwu achieved under challenging conditions, is what Nigeria hasn’t been able to achieve even with trillions of dollars it has so far earned from the sales of oil, just as Sam Walton (1918 –1992) wrote that the "Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish." Ojukwu instilled self confidence in Ndiigbo during the war and they nearly “touched the sky”. Biafra refined oil, today Nigeria is importing refined petroleum products and can’t refine enough at home; Biafra manufactured deadly weapons, while Nigeria relied on foreign powers to prosecute the war; even till today, Nigeria imports weapons; Biafra printed its currency under the war condition, but today, the central bank of Nigeria prints Naira notes abroad. Biafra achieved a lot because of the foresight of its leader, just as Colonel Dandridge M. Malone wrote that "The very essence of leadership is its purpose. And the purpose of leadership is to accomplish a task. That is what leadership does--and what it does is more important than what it is or how it works", and, John Quincy Adams (1767 –1848) added that “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader”.

The two-time governor of defunct Bendel State, Dr. Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia, described Ojukwu, as a "gallant nationalist and freedom fighter" who fought for his rights and for the rights of the overwhelming majority of his Igbo people. In his words, Ogbemudia said: “Ojukwu was always a visionary, forth-right, courageous, outspoken, nationalist and patriotic. Ojukwu wanted to see a Nigerian nation where all ethnic nationalities are recognized and fairly treated, not a country of disparate and desperate ethnic groups. He threw all that was left of his physical and mental energy into this enterprise but did not live to see it through. Although it is a universal saying that you don't say evil about the dead, in the case of Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the Ikemba Nnewi, there is truly no evil to talk about his life. Many say he was a rebel. No, he was a gallant nationalist and freedom fighter. He openly disagreed on issues and rather than stomach his dissatisfaction, he fought for his rights and for the rights of the overwhelming majority of his Ibo people who looked up to him. Imagine that he succeeded, and Biafra had become a state, going by the feats they achieved at a very difficult time, Biafra would have become the toast of Africa by now. Perhaps many other new states would have been born”.

Pini Jason put this point succinctly few months ago when he wrote “Nigerians went to war because others who were in a position to advise the actors or raise their voices against injustice, simply exploited the moment, the vacuum and vacancies created by the exit of Easterners to promote personal and group interest. Some of the elements who became the new boys on the power block, have since come full circle to fight the same injustice Ojukwu stood up against, even nudging the nation to extreme ethnicity! Nothing has changed because politicians have found those fissures in our national life as first class ticket to power. Let us not forget that before the war, Nigeria operated largely on merit.

As Ojukwu once said long before the advocates of "resource control", the war "is a struggle for freedom and equality among Nigerians. It will end whenever Nigeria is able to accept the equality of all Nigerians to share in the control of and running of the affairs of this country".

As usual, many commentators, especially his opponents during the crises that led to the civil war, wore blinkers or deliberately put a veil of deceit on themselves and their listeners by insisting that Ojukwu went to war because of an inordinate ambition for a Republic of his own. Such a spin discounts the duplicity of the time: the pogrom and that it was Nigeria that attacked Biafra when it fired the first shot at Gakem on July 6, 1967. Biafrans fought back because their tormentors invaded their homeland. They fought back to defend themselves in a territory where they felt safe from inhuman treatment. They fought back because their values and beliefs were wantonly desecrated. It is therefore wrong to even say that Ndigbo went to war because they were not getting their fair share from Nigeria. The truth is that until Ojukwu asked all Easterners to return to the East, they were very competitive in a meritorious Nigeria and did well for themselves provoking the emotive talk of "Igbo domination". The war was simply to resist callous massacre of unarmed Eastern Nigerians by fellow Nigerians!

Be that as it may, it is a measure Ojukwu's prowess and the ingenuity of his people that he ran a Republic on the run; being sacked from capital to capital and yet being able to establish his government in a new capital within 24 hours; refining petrol and diesel in every backyard; distilling red wine; manufacturing household consumables and above all, fabricating armoured cars, gunboats, rockets and Africa's first weapon of mass destruction, the Ogbunigwe.

Again, choosing to live in denial, Nigeria turned its back on the essence of Biafra, renamed the Bight of Biafra as Bight of Benin in a classic ostrich inanity, dismissed Biafran inventions as "crude" instead of building and improving on them, took over the Products Development Agency, PRODA, created by Ukpabi Asika from the Biafran Research and Production, RAP, and injected it with the Federal virus and killed it! Today Nigeria cannot refine its own petroleum needs. Nigeria is an importer of everything imaginable (including toothpicks) with waiver! You can now see that it is Nigeria that lost the civil war, not Biafra!”

Admiral Arleigh A. Burke (1901 –1996) wrote that “Leadership is understanding people and involving them to help you do a job. That takes all of the good characteristics, like integrity, dedication of purpose, selflessness, knowledge, skill, implacability, as well as determination not to accept failure”, and that was what Ojukwu did in Biafra.

Declaration of war!

Just as Arnold Glasow (1905-1998) wrote that "One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency." The fratricidal war was forced on Ojukwu and he had no other option than to lead in other to save his people from extermination, because, leaders don't wait. They shape their own frontiers. The bigger the challenge, the greater the opportunity, just as John Kenneth Galbraith (1908 –2006) wrote that “All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership”. This is even as the defunct Biafran war veterans, on Dec 3, 2010, absolved Ojukwu of blames leading to the 1967 to 1970 civil war, pointing out that their former leader did not declare war on the Federal Government as some Nigerians have claimed, but rather, it was the federal troops that attacked Biafra first, and Dim Ojukwu only fought in defence of the former Eastern region. The Biafran war veterans maintained that Ojukwu declared the Biafran republic in response to the endless massacre of people from the former Eastern Nigeria, particularly the Igbo, by their northern counterparts. Recalling what they regarded as the accurate history of the civil war, the veterans said that it was the then Nigeria Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, that declared war on the Eastern region in order to force the region back to Nigeria, which Ojukwu stoutly resisted. The former Biafran soldiers further said that it was the people of the Eastern region who pressured Ojukwu to declare the state of Biafra principally due to the pogrom against the easterners living in the north.

USAfricaonline.com wrote when it interviewed Ojukwu in 2005 “The man attracts extreme, fanatical devotion as well virulent dislike across Nigeria's political spectrum. He led Igbos, Ibibios, Annangs, and millions of other citizens of the then Eastern Nigeria in the bloody but failed quest to establish the Federal Republic of Biafra, away from Nigeria. At the time, especially beginning in 1966 until the declaration of Biafra in May 1967, the man whose name and presence exudes charisma and catalytic influences, Ikemba Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (former Head of State of Biafra, 1967-1970) told me during an exclusive interview that "we, the leaders of the Eastern Region, acted based on the decision expressed by millions of our people through their elected representatives in Enugu, capital of our region (at the time)." Their message? The lives of Christian Igbo and other Easterners were no longer safe inside Nigeria, especially in the Islamic North, in face of waves of pogrom unleashed against Igbos and other Easterners since 1966; which got worse in 1967. Despite the torrent of lies and distortions of Nigeria's recent history, I believe, as do a majority of other informed Nigerians and international observers, that an incontrovertible fact of the 1967-1970 war remains that Biafra was not declared to fulfil the foolish talk about an alleged maniacal ambition of Ojukwu to become head of state . Instead, Biafra as a geo-political quest, although unfulfilled at the time, reflected, in my opinion, the will and natural inclination of any people, a traumatized group, courageous folks, proud and determined people to fight for self-defense against a zealotry of religion, ethnocentric prejudices, and a militarized expression of anti-Igbo pathologies. The man still argues that many lessons of Biafra seem to have been forgotten, reiterating that his people will never choose "slavery" over their natural tendency for freedom ".

Brigadier-General Fred Chijuka (Retd), former Army spokesman from 1993 to 1996 said: “I will not blame Ojukwu because in times of crises someone must lead others. For what he did, he was like Moses who God used to lead the Israelites. So, Ojukwu was used by God to save the Igbo. What I don't like is the continued killing of people of a section of the country, the Igbo. There is enough land in the east. The easterners should come home and develop their land to avoid this unnecessary marking out of Igbo in the North for slaughter. Boko Haram is just wasting innocent lives. Government should do everything possible to arrest and punish these people causing all these unwanted destruction of lives and property to avoid a repeat of 1966 civil war, as all Nigerians have the right to work and live in any part of Nigeria”.

To be concluded!

Dim Ojukwu address in 2010 in Owerri

“I am very happy today to be amongst you my brethren, my people, at this historic meeting. I am always happy to be with you but today I am very excited by the presence of our Traditional Rulers and Governors - the custodians of cultural cum traditional power and custodians of political power in Igboland. May I commend the Chairman of the South East Council of Traditional Rulers, HRH Eze (Dr.) C. l. llomuanya, who convened this important meeting for his foresight, and the Governors who have attended. May I also recommend that this type of meeting and exchange of ideas to constantly re-affirm Igbo interests in Nigeria, between the Traditional Rulers, Governors and the Elite of the South East should become an established norm and feature of Igbo political life.

Before I proceed, let me again thank the conveners for inviting me to give a key note address to this important meeting. May the Almighty God, the Creator of Ndiigbo and all other peoples of this earth richly reward you. I will never be tired of reminding you, my beloved brothers and sisters, that we Ndiigbo are a great race, richly endowed by the Almighty God, the Creator and the giver of all gifts. I believe that the enormous qualities which the Almighty God has endowed Ndiigbo with, are not just for themselves alone but for the development of Nigeria. This is why Ndiigbo are found all-over the Country, contributing enormously to national development.

Lest we forget, Ndiigbo constitute the largest homogenous ethnic population in Nigeria. Perhaps this is why, despite Igbo protests, important demographics such as Ethnic group, Religion and State of origin, are always eliminated from Nigeria's population counts. Even for a nation like Nigeria where the term "Federal Character" is enshrined in the Constitution. Howbeit, it is a well known fact that in every State in Nigeria outside Igbo land, Ndiigbo always constitutes the second largest population next to the indigenous population.

Lest we also forget, Igbo economic investments outside their homeland greatly outstrip the economic investments of other ethnic groups outside their ethnic enclaves. Indeed in most communities in Nigeria, Ndiigbo are at the fountainhead of development. This to me is unassailable evidence of the great faith which Ndiigbo have in Nigeria nation. But is Nigeria a nation? I have this question for your deliberations.

Finally, lest we have forgotten also, Ndiigbo were very active and at the forefront, in the struggle for Nigeria's independence and shed more blood than any other ethnic group in the struggle - the coal-mine massacre of Enugu, the Aba Women's riot etc. And Ndiigbo have continued to shed the most blood in the ethnic, religious riots and other political disturbances that have become a feature of politically independent Nigeria as she strives to become a Nation.

Having outlined these pertinent facts, let me share with you my brethren, my concerns, worries and unhappiness over the current state of our beloved Igbo nation in Nigeria. You know me. I am not a person given to lamentations. I shall therefore not spend time lamenting how Ndiigbo, an enormously gifted and courageous people with populations spread all over Nigeria have become, or seem to have become the weakest link in the Nigerian political chain. Naturally, I am sad and disturbed, that Ndiigbo, despite who and what they are to Nigeria, are assigned minor responsibilities in the Nigerian enterprise. What makes me sadder is that, we, Ndiigbo seem to accept these minor and irrelevant responsibilities, when by virtue of our population and spread, we should act as the adhesive force holding the Nigerian fabric together. And so I ask you my brethren, what are we afraid of in our God-given country, Nigeria? Especially when other ethnic groups less in population than Ndiigbo are courageously asserting themselves, sometimes with impunity, in Nigeria with great success and throwing it in our face! This indeed makes me sad. I therefore say to Ndiigbo that Nigeria belongs to all of us and we must not forget this fact.

I ask myself on a daily basis whether Ndiigbo fully understand the cause, essence and import of the war, where we defended ourselves to the admiration of the world against a senseless pogrom.

I have therefore decided that my full story on that war shall be told this year, by me, in a book, so that future generations and all who like us and even those who do not like us, shall appreciate that Ndiigbo are nation-builders not nation-wreckers, but that the strong Igbo moral sense, handed down to us by our ancestors, will always resent and rebel against injustice, inequity and mindless blood-letting.

Having said this, my message to Ndiigbo through this important meeting is that we must march forward in Nigeria, without fear, but with a commitment to assert ourselves fully in the building of a Nigerian nation that works for all and not some of its citizens. Ndiigbo must reject firmly any attempt to relegate them to subsidiary, politically irrelevant and minor roles and responsibilities in the exercise of building a modern Nigeria nation. And my desire and prayer remains that Ndiigbo shall regain their political relevance in Nigeria without violence in my lifetime. Please God.

How shall Ndiigbo regain their political relevance in Nigeria? We must first, clearly define the Igbo interest in Nigeria. The Igbo interest, to me, has always been to assert ourselves as a major, integral part of a Federal Nigerian nation, where every citizen, Ndiigbo and others, can self-­actualize. The Igbo persona refuses to be relegated to the margins and we shall aspire to every position - political, economic and social, which our individual and group capabilities entitle us to, in a modern, prosperous and democratic federal Nigeria. This simply stated, is to me, my dear brothers and sisters, the Igbo interest in Nigeria and I submit this definition to this meeting to ponder, deliberate and amend as necessary. But whatever we do at this meeting, the affirmation of the Igbo Interest remains paramount.

Please permit me again, to mention briefly, two personal experiences of my life, which inform my strong position on Ndiigbo and Nigeria. My Father, Sir Odumegwu Ojukwu lived in Lagos, invested in Lagos and contributed to the economic and political growth of Nigeria for which he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II at Enugu in 1956. He loved Nigeria and he was an Igbo man to the core and he raised me as such. My Uncle, Chief Felix Okonkwo, popularly known as "Okonkwo Kano" lived in Kano, invested in Kano and was a member of the Northern Legislative House. He loved Kano and he also was an Igbo man to the core. He brought me up to respect the North and Northerners. Why then must we, their children, do less for ourselves and for Nigeria? This is why I continue to say to Ndiigbo, that we must march forward in Nigeria, without any fears whatsoever, because it is our God-­given country, doing what is right and proper, and protecting ourselves and our rights in Nigeria because we are bona fide citizens of Nigeria. I shall say no more.

What then must we do to regain political relevance and be in a position to defend our interest and rights in a new prosperous and great Federal Republic of Nigeria, where no man is oppressed? The first and perhaps the only thing we need to do at this present time, is to nurture and strengthen internal unity and cohesion in the Igbo nation.

Our republican nature and unbridled individualism needs to bow to the collective Igbo interest. In the past, before we became incrementally irrelevant in Nigeria, the Igbo State Union provided not just a potent force for development but provided impregnable support machinery for Igbo political interest in Igbo land and Nigeria.

I urge this meeting to consider seriously the re-establishment and strengthening of "AUTHORITY STRUCTURES AND SANCTION MECHANISMS" in Igbo land via which Igbo interest can be defended and protected. Any ethnic group not just Ndiigbo, is akin to a mob and any strong-willed political misfit, with a lot of money, can drag the group into a wrong direction. I therefore plead with you my brethren, to give this important issue of "authority structures and sanction mechanisms" in Igbo land and leadership in Igbo land, your very serious thoughts.

As I conclude, let me mention three trends which in recent times have further weakened the Igbo nation and reduced our group potency as a political force in Nigeria. First is the relegation of visionary and strategic thinking to the background. In the past, our best political leaders have always been men of vision who were also strategic thinkers. These leaders were often not rich, and in any case they were never among the richest in Igbo land in terms of money. But they were courageous and our very best thinkers and political strategists.

The second trend is the lack of personal and group courage, especially the courage to assert ourselves and defend our rights, lives and properties in any and every where in Nigeria. Cowardice which was never a quality of our ancestors is now celebrated in Igbo land as "Sense". But today, I, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, exhort Ndiigbo to be assertive and courageous in protecting their rights, lives and properties as bona fide citizens of Nigeria whilst respecting the rights of other citizens.

Finally, I say to you, my brothers and sisters that politics is not and can never be about self-neglect or self-negation, such that Ndiigbo have become unwilling investors in Igbo land, citing myriads of reasons.

Sometimes I reflect and think that it may be our massive investments outside Igbo land which has emasculated us from asserting our citizenship rights as Nigerians fully because of our investments, which we seek to preserve through our meekness and tame responses to violations of our citizens' rights as Nigerians. I Pity, for a Man's soul is not a matter of properties and investments, but a matter of right and wrong, good and bad, just and unjust. Ndiigbo must not lose their collective soul as a people.

As we ponder on how best to reverse these unwholesome trends among Ndiigbo, let me in conclusion say to you, that we as a people have a bright future. I, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu see a bright future for Ndiigbo in Nigeria because Ndiigbo are a "can-do" people. And so, I maintain today that Ndiigbo shall regain their appropriate political relevance in Nigeria in my Life time.

Excerpts from a key note address delivered by Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu at the meeting of South East Elders and Leaders held in Owerri on the 5th of March, 2010

Ikemba Goes Home!!! by Joe Igbokwe

Dikedioranma Ndigbo goes home leaving behind Nigeria sharply divided the way he saw it in 1966. Dead bodies of kids, pregnant women and breadwinners he received as gifts in 1966 are still being sent to us to bury with Ikemba’s body 46 years after. Now is Ikemba a hero or a villain? I leave you to answer this question.

Please tell it to the East, West ,North and South that the tallest Iroko Tree in the forest of Igboland , Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu goes home in the next couple of days, and the birds have no where to perch again. It is as if night has set in by 12noon for Ndigbo in Nigeria. It is as if parts of 40 million Ndigbo in Nigeria and in Diaspora have gone with the passage of Ikemba. To Ndigbo it is as if nothing else matters again in Nigeria. The loss is monumental, colossal, irreplaceable and irreparable. Igboland mourns this sage, colossus, icon, warrior, fighter, orator, commander, facilitator, defender, mobilizer, and father.
