Former education minister Obiageli Ezekwesili has slammed President Tinubu, The National Assembly, The Senate and others over rising kidnapping and security crisis.

In a lengthy post on her official X account, she wrote (in part), “Do not dare wish our children ‘Happy Children’s Day’ today.

If you must dare speak on this May 27, then for once, speak the truth of your failures. Stand before Nigerians and confess that you have failed our children. Account for the public budgets that have not guaranteed the Nigerian children safety in their schools nor better education, health, and social protection.

Tell us the names and current locations of every single child still in captivity - the Chibok girls, the Kebbi girls, the Niger State children, the Oyo children, and every other. Tell the parents of these children exactly what your government has done and not done in the days, weeks, months, and years since each abduction.

A government that cannot protect its children has forfeited the right to celebrate them.”

He was among Ojukwu's most trusted officers and was pivotal in the defense of Enugu.

30TH OF MAY — BIAFRA MEMORIAL DAY
REMEMBERING Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu

By Anyi Kings
Published On the Biafra Post
May

The Man Who Chose His People Over Comfort
“History remembers those who stood for their people when silence was safer.”

Every 30th of May, millions of Biafrans across the world pause to remember the men, women, and children who perished during the Nigerian Civil War of 1967–1970. Among the towering figures of that painful history stands General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu — soldier, statesman, strategist, and the face of Biafra’s resistance.

Born into wealth and privilege, Ojukwu could have lived a comfortable life far away from conflict. Educated at Oxford University and raised in one of the richest families in West Africa, he had everything many dream of.

Yet when the massacres of Eastern Nigerians began in 1966, he chose duty over comfort and sacrifice over silence.

As Military Governor of the Eastern Region, Ojukwu witnessed the slaughter of thousands of innocent Igbo men, women, and children in Northern Nigeria. Families were wiped out. Survivors returned home with stories of horror, carrying nothing but grief and fear. The promise of unity in Nigeria was collapsing before the eyes of millions.

Ojukwu demanded justice, protection, and equality for his people. The Aburi Accord offered hope for peace, but its collapse deepened mistrust and pushed the Eastern Region closer to separation.

On the 30th of May 1967, Ojukwu declared the sovereign Republic of Biafra.
That declaration changed history forever.

The war that followed became one of the deadliest humanitarian disasters in Africa. Under blockade and constant bombardment, Biafra fought not only with weapons but with resilience and innovation. Local engineers built refineries, improvised technologies, and kept hope alive while starvation consumed the land.

Images of starving Biafran children shocked the world, yet the suffering continued.

Through it all, Ojukwu remained the symb

Before his death in 2011, Mr Ojukwu accused Mr Gowon of betraying the agreement allegedly reached at the Aburi meeting, including an understanding that Nigeria would be restructured in a way that allowed the then four regions greater autonomy.

However, in his autobiography, “My Life of Duty and Allegiance”, launched in Abuja on Tuesday, Mr Gowon maintained that there was no agreement at Aburi to allow the Eastern Region to secede and establish Biafra.

Although Mr Ojukwu is no longer alive to respond to the claims in Mr Gowon’s book, an old NTA interview in which he spoke extensively about the Aburi meeting recently resurfaced on social media.
What Ojukwu said
The exact date of the interview could not be independently verified.

In the interview, Mr Ojukwu insisted that records and transcripts of the Aburi meeting showed that both sides reached the partitioning agreements, contrary to Mr Gowon’s recent account.
“The tapes are available, the records are there. In fact, about two weeks ago, I saw a set of the records again. The transcripts are available but we were talking about the Nigerian situation and certainly at the end, everybody said, ‘You told them this, you did that,’” he said.

He argued that the disagreements that followed Aburi were influenced more by external pressures than by differences between himself and Mr Gowon.

“The fact was our case was so clear that I actually believe that at the end of Aburi that the problem was not Gowon but the problem was the ambassadors in Lagos who were pressing for something else because we understood each other, we agreed on every single point,” he said.
Mr Ojukwu also recalled that the minutes of the meeting were drafted jointly by his chief secretary and officials from Mr Gowon’s side, after which both delegations reportedly agreed on the final document.

“The drafting was in fact with my chief secretary with two other chief secretaries from the other side. I said No and drafted, we looked at it and we agreed. Genera

Today in History: “Biafra seceded from Nigeria”.

On May 26, 1967, the Ojukwu decreed to secede from Nigeria after consultations with community leaders from across the Eastern Region. Four days later, Ojukwu unilaterally declared the independence of.
