USAfrica, July 24, 2012: The President of the west African country of Ghana, John Evans Atta Mills, died a few hours ago at a military hospital in Accra on Tuesday July 24, 2012.

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sudden and untimely death of the president of the republic of Ghana”, were the mournful words of the Chief of Staff at the Ghana Presidency Henry Martey Newman to a concerned nation.

He said that President Mills died at 37 Military Hospital in Accra after being rushed to the special ward as his ill-health deteriorated. Reportedly, he was suffering from throat cancer. A few hours earlier, he informed the Ghana parliament he was traveling to Nigeria.

Vice President John Dramani Mahama is taking over the powers of the presidency, as constitutionally required.
Mills received treatment, privately, a few weeks ago in the U.S, and returned on June 25, 2012.

Mills, who is 68 years old, was inaugurated in January 2009; and hosted U.S President Barack Obama and his family in 2011 in Ghana. The reports of the visit are here on USAfricaonline.com.

The greatest Igbo ODUMEGWU OJUKWU’s great farewell in Aba. By Chido Nwangwu   https://usafricaonline.com/2012/02/28/the-greatest-igbo-odumegwu-ojukwu-farewell-in-aba-by-chido-nwangwu

USAfrica: Ikemba ODUMEGWU OJUKWU’s farewell in Aba, today February 28, 2012, reflected a fitting tribute, historically meaningful celebration, proper regard and deserving appreciation of the greatest Igbo, in my opinion, to have ever lived (like him or hate him).

I SALUTE Aba (aka Enyimba city), the robust and fearless town I was born, bred and raised, for giving the Ikemba, our Ochiagha, Gburugburu, Oka oburu uzo, dike na ndu ma n’onwu, mgbadike anyi, a hero’s farewell.

To the Ikemba, may your valiant soul rest in peace and dignity.

We will, and I, Chido Nwangwu, will never forget to continue to tell my generation and the next about your towering courage through tempest and thunder; through sorrow, pain, tears, blood….
