The noble act of love and service to humanity that the late Emir,Alhaji Isa Ahmadu and his Bantu people of Mubi did render to their Qua(Kwa) Igbo compatriots ,does indeed make one reminisce on a similer noble act by the Qua(Kwa) people of Ondo State to their
Qua(Kwa) Igbo Cousins of the East and Mid-Western State.
When the Yorubas in 1967 joined the Northerners in the pogroms against the Igbos, which started in 1966, Noble Yorubas of
Ondo State put their lives in danger by running underground railway and helping Igbos escape from all over the West into to their
State and from there to their border with Edo State.
However,it is still on record that after the Biafran-Nigerian War of 1967 to 1970, Ndigbo were welcomed back to the North with
open arms by the people of Nothern Nigeria.
Igbos got back their porperty (houses ,shops and workshops et al) plus rents that accrued thereof during the war.
But that was not the case with the South West,where Igbos,(the Omo Ojukwus) were hardly welcomed by our Yoruba compatriots.
That was partly because, General Yakubu Gowon ,our then Military Head of State did bequeath Igbo property to the members of
Ogboni Fraterrnity of Western Nigeria,who were members of his 5th Column Units during the Civil War and partly because, the
Ogboni members still had an axe to grind with General Aguiyi Ironsi, an Igbo for banning their Fraternity all over the country.
But General Gowon on the other hand unbanned them.
Our Federal Government is yet to make good on General Gowon's 3 Rs promises to Ndigbo on Rehabilitation,Restruction and Reintegration after the War.
Enough is enough ojare!
Nigeria We Hail Thee.Lol!!

The late Ahaejiagamba, Mazi Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Iwuanyanwu, as our President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo was indeed " A People's Ijele" and thus, he has got a permanent place in our Parthenon of Igbo Avatars.
Unlike his immediate 2 predecessors ( Dr.John Nnia Nwodo and Prof. George A.Obiozor), Chief Emmannuel Iwuanyanwu was neither
compromised nor affiliated to any fucking Political Party.
He was independent, dedicated and quite forthright in his duties as Ohanaeze Ndigbo General President and never for once did he
ever shy away from calling a spade a spade.
Thus, the late Ahaejiagamba did set a good example for whosoever that might succeed him to emulate.
It is still on record that the 2 immediate predecessors of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu ( Dr John Nnia Nwodo and Prof. George A.
Obiozor) were compromise and thus betrayed us Ndigbo.
The former,Dr John Nnia Nwodo did ally himself with that Wa-wa Aro-Uzo Osu – muo reprobate of Ebonyi State,David Nwa Umahi
to proscribe our Millennial of IPoB.
That paved the way for their designation as a terrorist group by the Igbophobe, Mallam Muhammadu Buharis,who loves to hate us
Ndigbo with passion , and subsequently his teaching our IPoB Millennials,the lessons their grand parents and parents were taught
during the Biafran -Nigerian War of 1967 to 1970.
That was indeed a blot on the escutcheon of man.
While the latter, the late Prof.George A. Obiozor,who was a malleable geriatric case of ''Dotage of a dotard'' simply made our Igbo
Socio- cultural Organization of Ohanaeze Ndigbo a de facto Arm of the Supreme Court Imposed Governor of Imo State, Hope
Uzodinma's Government .
' Ndigbo biko chenu echiche.
Ndi ndiro gbara gburugburu na eche ndu ha nche.
Ukpana okpoko gburu nti chiri ya.
Igbo ndi APC;Davi Umahi,Hope uzodinma,Orji Uzor Kalu na ndiotu ha,na acho anyj Ndigbo ife.
Chukwu kpo ha nile oku!
Ofo jide ha nile ! ''

"How many today know, or would believe, that he put two million dollars of his hard-earned money into the building and development of Imo Airport? …How many people do they have in the public space who are living for either a cause, or for others?"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A cursory look at initial list of people that contributed to the development of Owerri Airport — Sam Mbakwe Airport — leaves a significant impression. It seems as if they were a different breed. All of them owned their private business. They were all interested in making profit for their businesses. But they came together, once in a while, with the support of their traditional rulers, for common good
