Is he or isn't he?

You are looking at the picture of General Ojukwu. Ojukwu is known for his leadership in the Biafra War/Nigerian civil war in the 1950's. Since yesterday, reports have surfaced that the former leader has passed. Then today, the Nigerian newspapers have reported that the leader is, in fact, not dead. So is he or isn't he? Nigerian newspapers have been notorious for such conflicting reports. Such was the case when former leader Yar Adua was sick. Reports became known that he had passed and then the following day, that he hadn't. Are these reports created out of rumor? Maybe such sensational reportings come about just to generate publicity. If this is the case with reports about Ojukwu, the papers have reached an all time low.
