Remembering Kill - We Nwachukwu
Nwaozuzu Nwachukwu was for more than two decades celebrated as a homegrown “superman.”
Born in the early 30s, he hailed from Mbaitolu in Imo state.
Some of his legendary feats of strength included lifting buses, having cement blocks crushed on his head, and allowing cars to drive over his body. “Killi We” was a nickname he got after a fight with a stubborn man “Tick man” who refused to pay him his money for a truck load of goods he conveyed from the market to the man’s home.
He used to push a wooden two wheel truck with which he carried goods for people. After dropping off the goods, the man would not pay what Nwachukwu charged claiming it was too high. He tried to walk away and Nwachukwu grabbed him by the hand insisting he must pay. A fight ensued and he pinned the man to the ground.
The man’s wife ran in and came out with a wooden pestle to assist her husband. Nwachukwu snatched it from her, lifted the woman up and pinned her on top of her husband on the floor. Powerless, she started screaming, Killi We Nwachukwu, Killi we Nwanchukwu” meaning, Nwachukwu, kill us!
“He existed. Back in eighties, he visited schools, people paid 50 Kobo to watch him. He carried 10 bags of cement on his stomach and tugged a 504 peugeot SR with a rope on his teeth.
Story had it that when he died, his body was deposited in Aladinma mourtuary, he in the night, will carry all other corpses and stretch himself on them. He continued this till he was rejected by the morgue.
On the 31st of October 1992, he died of muscle stiffness.
May he continue to rest in Power 🙏🏿
Have you heard about him before?

“It is fair that we allow the incumbent House of Representatives member to return, based on the zoning arrangement within the federal constituency. Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, argued that it was not yet the turn of my local government area to occupy the seat.”

Nnewi, The Medical Tourism City In Nigeria
Yesterday was a remarkable day for the medical sector in Nigeria, as the newly installed MRI Tesla 1.5 machine was commissioned at the permanent site of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital in Nnewi , Anambra state.
The machine was donated by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC) as a way of supporting quality healthcare in Nigeria and also reducing medical tourism.
This permanent site of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital in Nnewi is the biggest hospital in West Africa by bed capacity of 2000. With this new milestone, the hospital will go on to attract more medical tourism from across the state and country.
Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to contest for another term representing Bende Federal Constituency in Abia State in the 2027 general elections.
Kalu emerged unopposed during the APC primary held on Saturday across all 13 electoral wards of the constituency, including Alayi, Bende, Ezeukwu, Igbere, Item, Itumbuzo, Nkpa, Ntalakwu, Ozuitem, Ugwueke, Umu-Imenyi, Umuhu-Ezechi, and Uzuakoli. The exercise recorded a high turnout of party members and stakeholders.
Do you think he will win the Elections next year?
