What Sagay was alluding to was the wrong approach IPOB used to expressed their grievances if there was any. If IPOB felt marginalised, firstly, they have elders and also representative to table their vexation for onward delivery to the right channel. And if they felt these ones are too political for their liking, the media and electronic and even the internet is good medium to tell the world who and how they've short changed.

But the question is: Who is marginalising the Igbos and how?
You can't wake up one day and distort the social and economic activities of law abiding Nigerians under the guise of some frivolities. Entertaining such hooliganism is setting a bad precedence for the entire nation.

Also, silence played by many Igbo leaders suggested they were directly in support of the protest. Scenario like warrants that well meaning people in Igbo land, both young and old should throng the street and TV and radio to vehemently condemn or disassociate themselves from the madness.

We all know the restiveness was merely a spill over of the lost election and an opportunity to negotiate their lust fullness with FG through the back door via intimidation, and that was what Sagay pointed which you equally collaborated.

Today's South Eastern Region of Nigeria was already inhabited by the Igbos before the word or nation called Nigeria ever came into existence. So the option of leaving behind a territory for someone does not & will never arise. Keep fanning your ego. But I assure you that au moment propice the Sun shall rise again. Am flattered that you term us 'overly gifted'. I couldn't have put it better for it is indeed a fact of life that the Igbos are overly gifted. If Nigeria must realise its great potentials, it MUST give the Igbos its right of place. Since you have hinted that Nigeria can't do without the Igbos, then the Igbos MUST be shown the respect they deserve in all ramifications. That is why people like Itse Sagay who ought to know better but chose to insult the entire Igbo people must pay for his sins.
A single region can not hold an entire nation to ransom. As it stands, Nigeria does not owe Igbos anything. If you feel you are too gifted(I didn't say so, I simply quoted you), you will start by developing your region and stop running everywhere. Isn't this the same ego that made Ojukwu(with due respect) and now Kanu to want to pick up arms against the Nigerian state.

Like i said earlier, south east remains under the constitutional supervision of Nigeria and any infringement by any individual or group will be severely punished.

Constitutional lawyer and Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Anti- Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN) has raised alarm over what he called the insults and death threats he has received from Igbo people for expressing his opinion on the renewed agitation for Biafra republic during President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.

Speaking with Daily Independent on Saturday, the erudite legal practitioner said rather than threatening him and the peace of the entire country, those who have contrary views to his should engage him in a debate and present their views in a civilised and refined manner.

Sagay, who said he stood by his comments that the the Igbo having lost out at the federal level decided to resurrect Biafra so as to get appointments they don’t deserve under Buhari  also added that he will not take the threats lightly because according to him “they have serious security implications”.

“All I did was expressed my views on a national issue. If they have contrary views, they should come forward with it instead of using abusive words particularly threatening people’s lives. Infact, they are not only threatening me but the entire country that we shall see what happens whenever they start whatever they are planning”.

” It is a very irrational process and environment in which to operate. I thought we were engaging in a debate”.

“Little did I know I was dealing with desperadoes who will not tolerate any other views that are not consistent with theirs in their headlong determination to cause confusion in the country. It is very sad”.

“I won’t take the threats lightly because most of the things said to me has serious security implications and I will do something about it” he said.

You did not quote me as in non of my earlier submissions did you see the phrase 'overly gifted' nor 'jew'. But your assertion is quite correct though as the Igbos are overly gifted. Don't tell us how to go about achieving our goals and objectives man. Rather tell some silly people like Itse Sagay to learn to show respect or face the consequencies of his actions boldly instead of crying that he is receiving threats.

I dont blame you. If your people were being slaughtered like the Igbos were at that time, and you were in Ojukwu's position, you would have realized that it was not ego that led him to war, but that he chose what he thought was the only viable option left for him and his people. Of course I dont expect you to understand this with your myopic view on issues.

That Ojukwu fought it and couldn't realize it, and Nnamdi Kanu is doing it his own way with seemingly no result yet, does not imply that the objective is not going to be achieved someday. People like you make it imperative that the struggle goes on till the objective is attained. Keep deluding yourself !!

In one of your posts, you repeated that nonsensical question that president Buhari asked - Who is marginalising the Igbos?
Here is your answer - BUHARI is marginalising the Igbos. In fact he hates the Igbos. He is acting more like the president of Northern Nigeria than that of the entire Nigeria. He promptly mentioned the names of the few Igbo Ministers in his cabinet which the constitution forced him to select, but he conveniently left out all the Board appointments et al which he has made and continues to make with complete disregard of the Igbos nor federal character. With a president like Buhari, it shouldn't be strange to find an Nnamdi Kanu that has the listening ears of some disgruntled youths in the east. Obasanjo nor even IBB can't be accused of such ethnic bigotry like Buhari. Well his first stint in power was shortlived, there is no guarantee that this one will not go the same way.

Prof. Sagay goofed bruv. As a constitutional and seasonal lawyer he should have known that the recent agitation for Biafra doesn't reflect the larger population of Igbos.

Nnamdi Kanu and his clandestine radio outfit has been in operation long before Buhari became president and the recent Biafra protest is mainly to seek for his release. There could still have been protest if he was incarcerated by GEJ.

I'm not holding brief for the injudicious protesters but they represent only a little fraction of Igbos and shouldn't be a criterion or touchstone to imply that Ndi Igbo as a people are antagonistic towards Buhari coz they lost out in crucial portfolio in his government.

What Prof. Sagay imputation means is that, Buhari intentionally sidelined Igbos from his government, for whatever reasons, and suggesting that mr. President is against national cohesion, he's a factional leader and sowing the seed of division in a country that should be united. I'm sure and want to believe Buhari doesn't share his view.

Isn't it amazing, some don't deserve to benefit in a Democracy simply because they voted for another party? Coming from a lawyer? Yet some numbksulls support him?

Now let them have their way and go since you don't want them to benefit you say no....
