37 Years After, Nzeogwu's Vision Unrealised - Family From Jaiyeola Andrews in Asaba Thirty-seven years after the death of the leader of 1966 coup d'etat, Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, his family yesterday said the vision which he fought for were yet to be realised, noting however that his dreams still live on. The vision, according to the family, include a united Nigeria where tribal sentiment would play no role, a country free of corruption, as well as a country that would be ranked among the superpowers in the world. A brother of the late artillery officer, Prof Okeleke Nzeogwu while announcing the burial programme of their mother Madam Elizabeth Nzeogwu, told newsmen in their country home, Okpanam that the problem of this country arose from a depressed economy. According to him, major Nzeogwu's vision for "justice has not also materialised, I think that his dreams are still alive in the heart of every true Nigeria." The professor who poured encomium on his late brother, stressed that Nigerians still respect him because of his vision of a true Nigerian he fought for still lives on even several years after his death. "People want a country that is efficient, free of corruption, free of tribal sentiment, united, prosperous, recognised as a world leader in Africa, so that was his vision," Nzeogwu averred. On the reason why Major Nzeogwu's demise overshadowed his mother's burial, the family spokesman pointed out that though his brother's death does not overshadow their burial, but said that what comes on the people who are still living, was for a positive vision effected in their lots. Professor Okeleke, however hinted that their mother would be committed to the mother earth on Thursday, the 21st of this month at Okpanam, his village close to Asaba, the Delta State capital, and those expected are President Obasanjo, his Vice, Atiku, foreign diplomats and eminent Nigerians.
