THE BURIAL OF THE GREAT DIM IKEMBA
“Mourners gathered Friday in Nnewi, a city in Nigeria’s eastern Anambra state, for the funeral and burial of Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, who led Biafra during the three-year civil war. His body lay inside a closed gold coffin draped in the Nigerian flag with an officer’s black dress shoes, cap and sword laying atop it. Soldiers stood guard by a man who once rejected the idea of a united Nigeria, a multiethnic nation now home to more than 160 million people.” – Associate Press
