I am yet to see the intellectuals present a cogent case for Biafra... Igbos have a lot of prominent intellectuals.

Why now? Why did you not agitate in Jonathan's era? The problems you complain about were still there... Is it because a fulani man won?

Apart from maybe Anambra state, which other state can survive on their IGR?? Why do you not question the failure of your leaders?

The 2016 budget covers some of the major federal roads that people complain about... Why not give the man a chance?
How can you see? You have eyes but prefer to shut it, you have brain but prefer to shut it down, When Nigeria was using regional system it was yoriba that was feeding us. Nigeria will know no peace till Biafra is free, the pedophile will fail and Nigeria unworkability will be exposed to all and sundry.

Do you understand igbo language? NO.

Then believe whatever you choose nobody cares.

The Bishop is igbo.

His "children" who engaged with him were igbos.

An igbo Nairalander just told you that nothing that happened in that encounter can be spinned as "molestation". In fact nothing there was unexpected to a bishop who had had to engage and deal with Catholic Boys Orginization uncountable times throughout his priesthood.

And to crown it all, the vast majority of the distant stakeholders would care to understand the igbo langusge spoken in that video.

If these glaring facts are not enough to convince you that the bishop was not "molested". Then feel free to believe whatever you like. No one cares.

The Igbos are not typically disrespectful of their parents.

These thugs who forced the bishop out of his vehicle as he was returning from a burial ceremony, which was why he was in town, and then assaulted the man of God by shouting and pointing their disrespectful fingers in his face, are anything but the Bishop's children. They are nothing but misguided thugs possibly full of drugs.

You and your fellow misguided ipob youths need to remember what our wise old parents say: Ijiji na-enweghi onye ndumodu na-eso ozu ala n'inyi (A fly that has no counselor follows the corpse to the grave). Take wise counsel - your treatment of the Priest is nothing short of disgraceful and you need to issue an unreserved apology! Period.

There's no need to threaten anyone though I agree the poster you quoted is both ignorant and mischievous. A lot of Nigerians are like him–mischievous and ignorant. Deep down they resent each other but they still want to stay together. To me, that's foolishness.

The omenka of a guy and the felalegend guy need help. They've lost any atom of human common sense. These guys rejoice when the army kill IPOB members, keep quiet when Fulani 'Libyan' herdsmen kill other people but they want a united Nigeria. And you wonder how people can be so ignorant.

You don't have to cuss anyone or any tribe. You don't also have to pretend, like these sick ones among us, that we love one another. We hate one another. You can see how the op paints a lie to spit a people and some dumb people are asking how many intellectuals support the idea instead of hushing the op for lying.

Good. You need explain it. Not for his same but for the sake of kids googling the internet and this comes up. That shows you how deep our hatred for one another is rooted.

Instead of calling the op out for lying or asking an Igbo to explain what was said he/they choose to believe what they/he want/wants to. That's Nigeria. And these self titled intellectuals still want the country to be one. Ignorance is the worst sickness.

Since the Op is lying can you tell us word for word what transpired? 2ndly is it normal to use your hands to point at an Archbishop of Catholic Church ordering him out of his vehicle and then went ahead to lie on social network that he was part of your secessionist movement?

If Biafra wants to go let them go, if marriage between husband and wife is full of trouble, let them separate. After all we will do well by being separate. Hausa fulani is taken South for a ride, the northerner depleted the resources of Nigeria but nothing to show for it in their land.
Let your governors, industrialists, your oil baron take alliance with you, then you will achieve your Biafra. Note, you cannot be eating from Nigeria and achieve Biafra

Archbishop Obinna reacts

Meantime,the Catholic Archbishop of Owerri
Ecclesiastical Province, His Grace, Most Rev. Dr.
Anthony J. V. Obinna, has reacted angrily at the way
he was linked to the protest march of loyalists of IPOB,
and MASSOB, in Anambra State.

Speaking exclusively to Vanguard in Owerri, yesterday,
Archbishop Obinna said he chose to react “for the sake
of those, who may have been misled by internet or
media reports about my presence in Onitsha, on May
30, 2016.”

The Archbishop explained that he left Owerri for
Anambra State, for the funeral of Rev. Sr. Innocentia
Ehirim at the Immaculate Heart Convent, Nkpor.
"After the Holy Mass and the burial of the Rev. Sister,
and in the process of returning to Owerri through the
same Nkpor-Onitsha route through which we came, we
noticed that burning tyres had been set up by youths
blocking and preventing the normal flow of traffic,”
Obinna recalled,stressing that he was accompanied
on the trip by a good number of priests, religious and
laity, since the late Sr. Innocentia had worked for 10
years in the Archdiocese of Owerri, before her later
postings.

“From Ihiala, signs of unrest began to be seen with
unusual road blocks. In my case, we arrived at our
destination without much inconvenience."

Madam respecter, go to your tribe and preach your "respect". Leave us alone. How e take concern you? The archbishop was not in anyway threatened or intimidated. He understood the passion with which the protester grieved about Biafra.

IN ONITSHA FOR A FUNERAL NOT PROTEST MARCH

- Archbishop Obinna

‘’For the sake of those who may have been misled by internet or media reports about Archbishop Obinna’s presence in Onitsha on the 30th May 2016, it has become necessary to give the true story’’.

On Monday the 30th May, Most Rev. Anthony J.V. Obinna, Archbishop of Owerri, left for Onitsha for the funeral of Rev. Sr. Innocentia Ehirim at the Immaculate Heart Convent, Nkpor. He was accompanied by a good number of priests, religious and laity since the late Sister Innocentia had worked for ten years in the Archdiocese of the Owerri, before her later postings.

From Ihiala, signs of unrest began to be seen with unusual road blocks. In any case Archbishop Obinna and his entourage arrived at their destination without much inconvenience. After the Holy Mass and the burial of the Rev. Sister, in the process of returning to Owerri through the Nkpor-Onitsha route through which he and his entourage came, he found that burning tyres had been set up by youths blocking and preventing the normal flow of traffic. The Archbishop was constrained to stop in order to plead for passage for himself and those who accompanied him. On getting past this first blockage he ran into a bigger road-block with more massive burning tyres and a greater crowd of youth.

On sighting the police ahead of him, Archbishop Obinna made his way beyond the milling and shouting youths in order to seek a possible safe-passage. In spite of the armoured vehicle standing there and the police in battle-gear, Archbishop Obinna made his way to the Commanding Officer. After speaking with the officer and being advised to turn back and find another route because of the apparent tension. Archbishop Obinna walked backward only to be besieged by the pro-Biafra shouting youths. From mildly charging that the Catholic Church and CAN should speak out on behalf of the Biafra cause some of the youth descended to abusive and threatening talk in expressing their joblessness, poverty and frustration. Trying to respond calmly to the angry youths, it now turned out to be needless. As he further trekked to get back to his car, those among the youths with camera-phones photographed him in the midst of all those youths. The Archbishop eventually got into his car and found a back-way route to Abetete and on to Nnewi from where he then returned to Owerri.

This is the true story behind the lying and deceptive photographs and stories on the internet and some newspapers falsely claiming that the Archbishop either came from Owerri or Rome to join the protest march of the pro-Biafra youths.
Re: Archbishop Obinna Abused By Pro-Biafran Protesters by felalegend: 4:36pm On Jun 03, 2016
Nairaland modes should do justice to this thread. It is sacrilegious to blackmail a Catholic Archbishop on this forum by error but yet refusing to correct it. Arch-Bishop AJV Obinna as evidently seen and heard on the video was abused without iota of respect by rebels and they tried to compel him into siding secessionists which he rejected.

https://www.nairaland.com/3136207/catholic-priest-joins-ipob-nkpor

Such deceit being projected here is meant to popularise the rebels by deceiving Catholic faithfuls into believing that their revered Archbishop has endorsed IPOB.
