OJUKWU, IS HE GONE?
Icheoku has not otherwise confirmed the report; but it appears the Ikemba is no more! Snippets of information reaching Icheoku as at Sunday August 14, 2011 by 10.33pm has it that the peoples' war-hero has joined his ancestors and only arrangement to guard against possible breakdown of law and order,,especially within his immediate family is holding the formal announcement of his transition.
Anyway, lets hope the tell-tale signs which are everywhere and series of meetings being held by some prominent Igbo people have nothing to do with the demise of the Ikemba. Icheoku had hoped that the Dikedioranma of Igboland would have lingered around a little longer on this earth; but hey to live is to leave one's footprint in the sand of time and he left one heck of an indelible giant's footprint; and history will forever accommodate and give him a place in its annals. The one major regret though is that he could not give the world his memoirs and true account of what transpired during the ill-fated but necessary Biafran war of survival against the Nigerian State marauders. Icheoku shall not however say "our adieu" just yet until the story is officially confirmed.
