OBAS Statement, A Reflection Of How Divided We Are! by koife(m): 2:03pm On Apr 07, 2015
Let me begin by saying that I am not an Igbo......
I find it repugnant to say the least when I heard the statement made by the OBA of Lagos. One would expect that a man of that much public influence would guide his utterances. Indeed, it is shocking and utterly provocating when our elders and political class becomes front liners in spitting venomenous vituperations that has the capacity to threatening the peaceful coexistence of the Nigerian state. I have said it time and time again that the reflection of how bad things have gone in our country can be seen on the street and statement by our shoulbe elder state men, NLer youths inclusive. This ethnic war of words in political space and social media makes me wonder if we are truely ONE NIGERIA or pseudo state entity waiting to give way.more worrisome is the fact that we the youths have deepen this sentiment and heighten the flight of our verbal assault. I was also taken aback when I read through several threads here in NL how some of us came online to throw our weight behind such a devious overtures. I dare to say that if we keep the sail on this heading we will someday meet a tsunami. I enjoined all Nigerians N, S,E, and W to rise up and make better our society because the elderly ones causing the chaos for us will soon be no more. It is indeed our collective responsibility.
LONG live FED REP OF NIG

Here is what a prominent ibo politician said in front of Jonathan in Anambra State.

"That short man called Ngige, we gave him power and he went and joined Awolowo’s people; the people that killed the Igbos" Arthur Eze

Who wants you in Nigeria? You killed the leaders of other regions and Northerners reacted and you declared Biafra, thinking you are wiser than others.
