The Igbo Youth Movement (IYM) has said
that it will continue to fight for the unity of
the country and give all Nigerians a sense
of belonging.


Dr Alex Ekwueme, the former vice president
under the administration of Shehu Shagari
who was present said that the reason why
he got that position was because he was an
Igbo man.
Ekwueme maintained that Igbos were highly
respected people in Niheria and said he was
able to rise to become the vice president of
the country because of his descent.
He urged the youths at the convention to
embrace and appreciate the Igbo language
and not allow it to spiral down.
Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, the former governor of
Abia state and a ministerial nominee noted
that the Igbo language may not survive for
long as some Igbos now find foreign
language more attractive.
“Today, our society is faced with the danger
that the Igbo language may not survive for
long. It is sad that most of our children find it
difficult to communicate in our native
language. The attraction of foreign values has
become almost an obsession that has
weakened our self-confidence and injured our
self-esteem.
“We cannot rediscover ourselves if we do not
reclaim our cultural heritage. It has become
important because a people without culture is
a people without self-confidence. If a people
lack self-confidence then such a people lose
the will, determination and drive to
successfully engage the development process
in the pursuit of the common good.
“I wish to assure you all that the APC led
federal government of President Buhari will
initiate visionary and sustained efforts to help
Nigerians rediscover their rich past. In doing
so, such efforts will be guided by the
knowledge that cultural reawakening is an
important tool in the economic, social and
political development of our beloved country.”


Mr. Elliot Uko, the president of IYM said the
theme of the convention was selected to
reflect the propagation of Igbo language. He
said the group would fight for the unity of
the country and added that the movement
would continue to support President
Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption and
antiterrorism stance.[center]The Igbo Youth Movement (IYM) has said

I think the first thing in one's life is to tackle foundational or primary problems b4 arranging the secondary. certifications, qualifications are all secondary, and mind you Biafrans are amongst the best brains you can remember, quote me anywhere. I respect anybody or group of people who know what they want and go for it.

If at all u cowards like this GOD forsaken country as u claim to, the best thing to do is to wish us well, because d more u wish evil d rugged we become and the international communities are observing.

so stay clear, even the fulani's aren't disturbed, so I don't see why the idiotic yellobaaas are crying more than the bereaved.
