USAfricaonline.com, November 6, 2012: Barack Obama, the incumbent President of the United States and the first African-American to be so elected, has locked in a history-making 2nd term via a narrow victory in the tough November 6 election.
With the strong support of a diverse demographics, he beat 65 years old Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and moderate, flip-flopping Republican.
President Obama’s victory toward passing the 270 electoral college votes was ensured by his winning Ohio’s 18 electoral votes and Nevada; consequently making it mathematically impossible for Romney to catch up.
Recent immigrants, the white working class, Hispanics, African-Americans and young voters and activists were critical to Obama’s victory.
On November 5, the night before the elections, the 51-year old Obama delivered his final campaign speech in Des Moines, Iowa, stating in a tearful and heartfelt manner that
“I’ve come back to Iowa one more time to ask for your vote…. Help us finish what we started because this is where our movement of change began.”
American granted his plea with a slim victory which will offer the Republicans an opportunity to cooperate or confront Obama.

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…. •Dr. Chido Nwangwu, Founder & Publisher of USAfrica multimedia networks, first African-owned, U.S-based newspaper published on the internet USAfricaonline.com; and recipient of several journalism and public policy awards, was recently profiled by the CNN International for his pioneering works on multimedia/news/public policy projects for Africans and Americans. http://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/international/2010/07/29/mpa.african.media.bk.a.cnn.
