Civil War Memorial: Stakeholder Sues For Peace
An Igbo cultural leader, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, has called for peaceful conduct by some Igbo youths wishing to remember victims of the Nigeria Civil War on Tuesday.
Ezeonwuka, the founder of Ogilisi Foundation, said in Awka last Monday, that there was nothing wrong in remembering loved ones provided that such action was carried out peacefully.
He attributed some vices and tension in the country to the yearnings of the souls of victims of bloodshed waiting to be appeased.
Ezeonwuka said “great countries of this world like the U.S., Japan, Israel, Korea, Taiwan, Britain, Brazil, France, Vatican and the Catholic church have never failed to remember the souls of people that died during wars or tragedies every year.
“Unless you have assessed to see and know what happens in Astral World, it will be difficult for the mundane people of the world to know how happy the demised souls feel when they are being remembered in the physical world.
“I have been the architect of recommending to the Igbos to perform the befitting burial of Biafra war heroes and I am happy that Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State performed the ceremony at Awka on January 12, 2015.
