    He is also the inspiration behind that athlete doing a high jump on that Olden days Olymic 2A note note book for kids. Color of the book was faded greyish blue.

      One is leading you now as president and wants to come back in 2019 too. So What's the consequence of his own act????

    I read that Nigeria has refused to acknowledge that feat after his role in the war. Even his children were/are said to have changed their last name because of the negative response of people. Really sad. Meanwhile, the main actors in the war were pardoned. In this life eh, choose your battles and pick your wars.

    No wonder Ojukwu died a painful death....So many versions to this man's sad story; I wish his family could come out and tell Ifeajuna's story. But will they do that?
