Ike Nwachukwu must never be included in anything that is remotely or outright representative of Igbo. The man is a despicable son of a skunk whose disdain for Ndi Igbo knows no bounds. It is an insult on Igbo that he is to lead Igbos delegation to this so-called conference. Tufiakwa! Onyema Uche is accurate in almost everything he said about Omar Sanda (not Fanda). Not only was this buffoonish brute a pathetic participant in the summary execution of Igbo men in Asaba during the war, he also governed old Imo state with brutality and disdain reserved for slaves and conquered people. Ike Nwachukwu did not only retard progress and reverse most accomplishments in old Imo state, he also treated the people with disrespect and cruelty. The first disrespectful act carried out by Ike Nwachukwu, upon becoming an appointed military governor of old Imo state in 1984, was his reversal of a law that removed the shameful vestiges of colonialism from our peoples faces. Under the governorship of Dee Sam Mbakwe, the state legislature had passed a law that made it possible for Mbakwe to rename streets named after racists colonial officials in Old Imo. Ike Nwachukwu, with an executive order that conveyed his perception of Igbos as slaves, voided that law and reverted some streets to their colonial names. Thus streets like Douglas Road, Wetheral Road, Tetlow, etc, returned (and have remained so shamefully named till date). To demonstrate his accursed damnation of Igbo people, he decided that the sin of any Igbo must be visited upon and held against his village. To accomplish that, he decreed that the execution of armed robbers must be carried out in the armed robbers village and his villagers charged with the cost of carrying out the execution (the impoverished villagers were billed for bullets, time spent on the salary of the security personnel who carried out the execution, etc.). To show that he was serious, he executed a reputed armed robber named Nwa Lawyer in his home town of Mabise. Not only did Ike Nwachulwu bill Mbaise people for the cost of the execution, he also forced them to troop out and watch the execution live. What made his action so unjust and vexatious to Mbaise people was that Nwa Lawyer had never been to Mbaise since the late 1960s because Mbaise people had put him on a wanted list and would have executed him had they caught him. In addition, Nwa Lawyers father (Nwobani), was a notorious and fearsome thief who was executed by Mabise people in 1970. Right after the civil war, Mbaise people instituted ndi nche (vigilantism) and from then until about 1990, there was never an incident of armed robbery or criminal activities in any part of Mbaise where the ndi nche operated. In simple English, Ike Nwachukwu humiliated Mbaise people for a situation they had taken care of while he was massacring Igbo people in the name of preserving one Nigeria. Omar Sanda Ike Nwachukwus accomplishment as governor of Imo state is nothing to absolute nothing. He treated Igbo people as prisoners and slaves, he retarded the progress Igbo people made after the war, especially during the civilian era. He was so reviled by the people of Imo state that they mocking called him Iko (concubine) Nwachukwu -- a derisive allusion to his bastardy. Ike Nwachukwu is not an Igbo leader, he is a war criminal who should be readied for the International Criminal Court. His crimes against humanity are indisputable and easily provable. His appointment as a member of a national conference capable of piloting Nigeria positively is evidence enough that the conference is doomed to fail. To have named him a leader of Igbos delegates to a conference that should decide the fate of Nigeria simply means that Igbos opinion is not wanted, for Ike Nwachukwu will supplant Igbos agenda with those of his maternal homes folks, to who he owes allegiance. Ike Nwachuklw should be thrown out of the conference delegation list. If doing so is too late now, then under no circumstance must he be there as representing anything Igbo. Nebukadineze Adiele
