THE ROAR OF THE AFRICAN LION HAS BEEN SILENCED
BY CHIKA A. ONYEANI II |
Chief Chika Onyeani, Publisher,
African Sun-Times
November 14, 1943 - December 6, 2016

(Chief) (Dr.) Chika A. Onyeani, Sr.: AKA NA GBAJI EGBE I OF OHAFIA, the international diplomat, pacesetting journalist and distinguished author passed away peacefully at St. Barnabas Hospital on December 6, 2016, at the age of 73 from a brief illness. Once described as a “Man for All Seasons”, he was world renowned as a pioneer and pathfinder, beacon and trailblazer, commander and mighty warrior and had achieved singularity and honor as one of Africa’s foremost statesman.
An Ohafian, he comes from the group of Igbos that is the most feared throughout Nigeria; this fierceness gave him a passion and zeal for life and empowered him to dispense some uncomfortable truths in his literary publications. Dr. Onyeani’s book, Capitalist Nigger, contains a message that still resonates today and became a worldwide bestseller and the bestselling book in South Africa for almost a decade.
“The blame game has become a permanent part of our lives to the exclusion of any other solution that could be more viable in solving our problems. It has become the most productive part of our lives, because without it the African cannot really point to much that they are in charge of producing.

There is an Igbo proverb that says: "Onye nnaya duru ohi, na eji ukwu agbawa uzo",translated to mean that a son whom the father sends to go and steal, uses his legs to break down the door. He goes in full confidence, without a care trusting that if anybody challenges him, his father will be handy to extricate him. This is exactly what played out in Rivers State at the recent second rerun of legislative elections. The first rerun ended in-conclusive because of alleged violence inspired by desperate politicians who insisted that they must win Rivers State.
Largely because of fear of violence or so as they claimed, INEC delayed the second rerun and perhaps was considering leaving it completely till 2019 until the Senate issued an ultimatum forcing them to announce a date for the second re-run. In the view of some political grandmasters of Rivers State, they would feel better and much more relevant, if Rivers State had no representatives in the National Assembly than having another party win the seats. But somehow, they were compelled to come down from their high horses by the ultimatum of the Legislators.
