*Demands release of IPOB protesters


Igbo Day celebration

Igbo Mandate Congress has condemned the hate speeches against other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria which characterized the face of Radio Biafra.

Speaking with co-coordinators of the group at an emergency meeting in Enugu to evaluate the implication of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) successful protest march in Onitsha, Asaba, Owerri and Yenegoa on Friday, the Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress, Rev Obinna Akukwe, described the hate speeches as contrary to the spirit of Biafra.

According to Rev Akukwe “abusing the Hausa, the Fulani, and the Yoruba in the course of pursuing Biafra is anti-Christian. Christianity cannot support the dissemination of hate messages against fellow living beings created by God,and Igbos are predominantly Christians, rather anybody or group that wants Biafra should pursue it within the ambits of reasonable processes and international conventions.”

Rev Akukwe described the protesters as people who had been deceived into solely blaming the Nigerian project for the insensitivity of South East Leaders.

Clarifying further, he said that “since 1999, Igbos have occupied positions of Senate Presidency, Deputy Senate Presidency, Party Chairmanship, Secretary to the Government of Nigeria, and yet the al important Enugu-Onitsha Highway, Enugu-Nsukka Highway from Opi to 9th Mile and Enugu-Port-Harcourt Highway from the Okigwe end are the worst roads in Nigeria due to their selfish representations at the center.

“These political bandits failed to ensure that these roads were repaired from the Obasanjo era through to the Jonathan administration, preferring to pursue contracts and appointments. We should blame our corrupt Igb0 leadership first for our woes and make them to account for years of selfish superintendent over our destinies before blaming outside accomplices.”

He called upon the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanui and all arrested protesters and prepare them for proper reorientation and reintegration.

The Abia State Coordinator of IIgbo Mandate Congress and founding Secretary General of Ohanaeze Youths Council , Comrade Chuks Ibegbu in his submissions said that “we must be careful with these protests in order not to be used by selfish elements because there is not much difference between these agitations and the money making sentiments used by MASSOB leader Uwazurike over the years. Our people must be careful not to be dragged into another conflict driven by self interests.

“Security agencies should release the misguided elements that joined the protests due to bandwagon effects.”

Igbo Mandate Congress directed its directors and coordinators to embark on publicity enlightenment within their states, zones and councils using determined channels to ensure that hate speeches that alienates the Igbo from their neighbors is discouraged.

Leaders and members of Igbo Mandate Congress who monitored the protests in various centers, noted that the protests drew many sympathizers who though did not participate in the rallies, expressed optimism over a successful for Biafran dream.

The group received reports that failed corrupt politicians in Igboland were sponsoring the crisis to avoid their acts of economic enslavement of the South East from being exposed.

The group also noted that lots of people who joined the protests were not acting because they hated Nigeria and urgently wanted Biafra, rather because the harsh economic realities of the present day nation occasioned by years of corrupt leaderships have left them with no alternatives.

The group resolved to put up pressures to ensure the release and reorientation of the misguided protesters.

Ok

Was any Hausa Fulani Yoruba etc killed yesterday.?


No


So how is IPOB violent.?



Give unto Biafra what was given to the Scots.


UN Referendum

It is now you will realise that there are MEN of integrity in igbo land. This Rev Akukwe has said it all.

Stop blaming the Nigerian govt for all your woes. Atleast, you have Orji Uzor Kalu who govern Abia state for 8yrs, what was his achievement? Same for Chimaroke Nnamani(Ebeanor tunnel), Theodore Orji, Achike Udenwa and so many others who were governors and did nothing other than to enrich themselves. Same goes for Pius Ayim, Nnamani, NOI, Stella odua etc who were senate presidents, ministers in Federal cabinets, still no tangible government project in the East.

You dont expect the hausas or yorubas to fight and agitate for the needs of the people of the East. Since the constitution has made a provision for a representative of each state, why not hold your reps responsible.

Young Igbos, please always reason well before you conclude that Nigeria or the Nigerian government is against you.

b4 election, they were disturbing us with " Gej till 2019" and after election, they changed the rhythm of their songs to "Biafra".... smh

We all patiently waited to see the end of Jonathan's transformation government, so the people shouting Biafra today should also wait to see the end of this change administration. Funny, if something is favouring them, they will be laughing and ridiculing other nigerians, but when that same thing is not in their favour or to their advantage, they begin cursing and wailing..

The buhari that you guys hated so much is your President today, whether you guys like it or not. So deal with it.........

Lying propagandist, FYI, Radio Biafra had began operation since 2009. Such sophisticated outfit cannot be built overnight.

RB even predicted that GEJ would be defeated in the 2015 presidential election. It also mandated IPOB members not to vote and many of them obeyed.

Biafra is more than Jonathan or 2015 election. It's an ideology permanently inscribed in the heart of every Biafran even those you think are not in support, are indirectly funding and fuelling it but staying behind the scene for some political or economic reason.

See comments that proved that the agitation was strong as ever in 2011: https://www.nairaland.com/597402/northern-army-brigade-established-igboland

2012: https://www.nairaland.com/1094433/igbos-support-against-creation-biafra

It was even under GEJ administration that some Biafra agitators tried to seize a radio station in Enugu. PMB regime has nothing to do with the struggle; it only fueled it the more.

So, stop spreading falsehood and misinformation because you dread to be left alone. The earlier you channel your negative energies towards consolidating your OduaArewanistan republic the better for your survival.
