A TRIBUTE TO MY UNCLE, LATE MAJOR KENNETH CHUKWUMA IKEMEH.
Dear Uncle, Major K.C. Ikemeh, it’s been over 50yrs since you left us. And all these years I have carried you in my heart. I don’t remember meeting you in person, but I remember the day the Biafran Soldiers brought your body home for burial. I have carried you in my heart and have not failed to pray for you at every Mass I celebrate.
You were a very handsome man. Standing like an iroko in your 6ft 4’ height, you had a commanding personality. In your beautiful ebony skin, trimmed beards and sideburns, you wear the most beautiful smile that would melt the most hardened heart.
You were a very smart man. I found so much pleasure reading some of the books you used in college. I think about you always because I remember the beautiful things mother said you used to say to her. You had a special fun name you gave her, “nwanyi umere nne m.” Mother said you told her to keep having children, that you will help her to train them.” You were a happy and magnanimous man. You love your family and would do anything to protect your own.
Your love for your family made you drop your books and pick up your gun to lead the battalion in the Biafran army. You fought gallantly and paid the ultimate price. You refused to surrender to the enemy because you wanted me, and all of us, to be free. I will never forget you! You have been my strength in challenging circumstances. When I am tempted to quit, I will say to myself, Uncle K.C. did not quit, why should I quit?
And so, dear Uncle, I trust that you are alright in the bosom of the Lord. You were not there to help my mother raise the 10 children she is blessed with, but she is able to raise us because you paid the price for her and all Biafran mothers to raise their children. And so, this memorial weekend, I want you to know that you are not forgotten and will never be forgotten. You are my Hero and I love you.
To all the fallen Heroes, we love you and will never forget:
You marched into battle to defend the fatherland as Northern troops led by British tanks and Russian planes invaded their land to continue the Genocide that they started in the North in 1966.

Every Month of May, we Remember Over 45, 000 innocent people, men, women, children of old Eastern Nigeria, butchered in 1966 all over Northern Nigeria just in 3 months in the first govt supported genocide in Africa.

Many were laid on rail tracks and crushed by train, men buried alive, pregnant women had their bellies ripped open. Children clubbed to death, Innocent souls whose only crime was belonging to a different ethnic group and Faith,

To the 45,000 Innocent souls whose blood was used to irrigate the deserts of Northern Nigeria, although the conspiracy of silence continues by most Nigerians, although no monuments are erected, although no atonement has been made for that unprecedented horror, their Blood continue to cry out against this nation, a nation that pretends it never happened - but we, your kins, forced to bury empty coffins, we your brothers-
WE REMEMBER

The Thousands and thousands unaccounted for- in unmarked graves, from Kano to Maiduguri, to Jos to Makurdi, to Zaria, to Kafanchan, to Ilorin,

Although Nigeria sits on these graves and pretends it didn’t happen but we in whose home steads you left empty spaces-
WE REMEMBER

To the he brave hearts who stood up to the British armoured cars with machetes

Two Boys who shared a riffle so when one fell the other will pick up his gun to defend his freedom. To the men who went into battle with five rounds each and must only shoot when he was sure to kill. The men who laid down their lives so I may live.
WE REMEMBER

My three kinsmen who volunteered in Oguta and Ontisha sectors, brave men Who never returned-still on patrol.
YOUR FAMILIES REMEMBER

To Bruce Mayrock, an American student who set himself on fire, laid down his life to protest the Genocide by Nigeria against its own people.
WE REMEMBER

Artur Alves Pereira and Count von Rosen of the Biafran Airforce who came to Biafra in protest against the state sponsored pogrom
WE REMEMBER

To Wole Soyinka, who stood alone and insisted” the man died” who kept silent in the face of such a pogrom.
WE REMEMBER

Tanzania, Ivory Coast, Zambia and Haiti, nations that hoisted our flags against the silence of the world.
WE REMEMBER

All members of the Research and Production unit (RAP),
with no outside help YOU demonstrated that the black man could do wonders if only he looks inwards; Homemade armoured cars, rockets, beer from cassava, engine oil from coconut, the Biafran Red Devil (Amoured vehicle), the Shore Batteries, the Ogbunigwes. Your ingenuity, your bravely, today-
WE REMEMBER

To our brave mothers, who cooked and sent to their sons in the trenches, knowing it could be their last meal-
WE REMEMBER

The little boys who went “combing” many returned, many did not.
WE REMEMBER

The World Council of Churches, The Caritas, The Red Cross who saved millions of children with food aid, despite the blockade,
WE REMEMBER

Millions of our Children who had no milk and died before their time.
WE REMEMBER

Ah! Corporal Nwafor, you took in the hail of bullets from the vandals yet continued your final run towards their armoured car with a gr***de in your hand, until you successfully threw the gr***de into the troublesome vehicle and disabled it before you let your bullet riddled body fall to the ground and your comrades captured the precious armoured car and renamed it “Copral Nwafor.”
WE REMEMBER

Col Patrick Achuzie-, General Alexander Madiebo, Gen. Philip Effiong, Col. Onwuatuegwu, Nkonko Ndem, Major Kenneth Chukwuma Ikemeh, and all brave men who stood in the gap.
WE REMEMBER

Odumegwu Ojukwu switched from Ball rooms to Bunkers, leaving behind a tremendous wealth to give shelter to a people faced with death, you turned artisans into fighters and scientists, your mission, to build the first black nation with an indigenous technology.

Under the pressure of mortar shells and in less than three years, you demonstrated that the black man can hold his own, but the whites didn’t seem to be comfortable with an indigenous African technology, so UK and USSR suspended their enmity and empowered their Northern stooge to distract you. The Arab League threw its weight behind the North, the rest is history.

General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu,Eze igbo gburugburu, oguejiofo..
WE REMEBER

May justice prevail, may peace reign, may we NEVER find a need to shed blood. May God open the eyes of this Nation to see that like the blood of Abel, the blood of the innocent Easterners shed needlessly in 1966 calls for atonement and until the Nation collectively owns up to it, it can never be free from this vicious circle.

I am Igbo, I am Biafran, I am Nigerian, I am American, I am a citizen of Heaven!

I DON'T HAVE CARDS TO POST, NO FLOWERS TO SEND TO YOU. BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE SPECIALLY REMEMBERED IN THE HOLY MASS I WILL OFFER THIS SEASON AT ST PATRICK CATHOLIC CHURCH, CHARLESTON. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS. GIVE ME THE GRACE TO PERSEVERE TO THE END. AMEN.
