As a lawyer (and one who could also become a judge), I still struggle with the cold reality that a person could be convicted for what amounted to murders, solely on the basis of free speech made on a foreign soil. The only explanation for such, is if such person is an Igbo. Yes!
Congratulations to my colleague, Barr. Nnaemeka Ejiofor, for this victory. I’m aware of these 2 detainees whose unlawful detention by DSS moved MAZI NNAMDI KANU to help them, even when they’re not Igbos or Biafrans. This reflects #MNK’s unyielding dedication to justice for all.
@Solomon_Egbo As simple as that. No [walking] underground. The 4th Administration works above the ground hence [OUR] immediate visible results. We are getting there!
@AloyEjimakor If not that Rufai is a Nigerian, he could have won a lot of international awards. The name Nigeria seems to close doors for progressive figures from there.
Check out the professional manner with which Ojy Okpe & Rufai Oseni handled the US Congressman’s call to #FreeNnamdiKanu. They deftly zeroed-in on the core issue: Selective injustice when it comes to the IGBO. To be sure, this matter is never going away until justice is served.
I ENDORSE THIS … Long overdue.
Ironsi’s 60th memorial to hold in Abia State
The family of the late Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, Nigeria’s first Military Head of State, has concluded plans to hold his 60th memorial anniversary in Umuahia, Abia State on Wednesday, July 29, 2026.
The family will also hold a memorial mass for his wife, Lady Victoria Aguiyi-Ironsi, on Sunday, August 2, 2026.
According to his son, Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi, in a statement signed and released by him today (Sunday), the event will be held at the Aguiyi-Ironsi Tomb Site in Umuahia and will feature a wreath-laying ceremony.
“The anniversary provides an opportunity for the nation to honour the memory, leadership, and sacrifices of a distinguished Nigerian patriot whose contributions to national unity and development remain enduring.
“The Memorial Mass of Her Excellency Noble Lady V.N. Aguiyi-Ironsi will hold on Sunday, 2nd August, 2026 at St. Theresa Catholic Church, Afara-Ukwu, Umuahia, Abia State. Time: 10:00 am”, the statement said.
Thomas, who was a former Minister of State for Defence and Minister of Defence, noted that President Bola Tinubu, Abia State Governor Alex Otti, and other notable Nigerians are expected to grace the occasion.
Victoria Aguiyi-Ironsi died on August 23, 2021, at the age of 97, at the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia. She was born on November 21, 1923.
Aguiyi-Ironsi was born on March 3, 1924, and was assassinated on July 29, 1966, during the July counter-coup.
A Nigerian military officer who served as the country’s first Military Head of State, Ironsi assumed office during the ensuing chaos following the January 15, 1966 military coup.
He was assassinated by a group of military officers from the Northern Region led by Murtala Muhammed.
SUNDAY SERMON: As Prophet Ayodele joins the growing ranks of notable domestic & global voices, strongly rooting for #FreeNnamdiKanu, let it be made clear that this issue is never going away until the right thing is done, sooner than later. Justice demands it. Ndigbo demand it.
Let all be guided that continuing to publicly attack the plaintiff & his lawyer constitutes new evidence of ongoing harm & it can also serve as the basis for a new & separate lawsuit or proof of malice to increase damages. Ask a lawyer, google it. Or continue. See you in court.
Chief Dan Ulasi reveals how northern officers had initially supported the so-called IGBO COUP, queries the sincerity of #OneNigeria, reveals how IBB scuttled Ekwueme’s presidential ambition, speaks on Plateau Governor’s apology to Ndigbo, plus much more. It’s explosive.

Since 2019, tens of thousands of Christians in Nigeria have been slaughtered as part of a sustained pattern of religiously motivated violence by Islamist jihadis.
America gives billions to Nigeria. We will not continue to fund a Christian genocide.
