More kicks have been given to the planned election boycott ordered by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

New among the notables to speak against the order is the Obi Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, who dismissed the order, stating that the election must hold and no one could stop it from happening.#NigeriaYouthsAriseForTrueDemocracy-Worldwide

Igwe Achebe who is also the Chairman of Anambra State Traditional Ruler’s Council made the statement when the State leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene visited him in his palace, today, Wednesday.

His words: “The election is for us not for the entire country. You cannot have a referendum in one part of the country without carrying other parts of the country along and the government must support and sponsor it before it will be organized and not curving out some part of the country for the referendum. The election must hold and nobody or group of persons will stop it. Nobody should come to the state to cause unnecessary tension”.

“Our people should come home to invest in industry, factory, build schools and hospitals that will be beneficial to our people. We need non partisan strong institution to create good environment for development. I commend the new Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership both at the national and state level for their efforts within six months to unite Ndigbo” Achebe stated.

In his remarks, the State Ohanaeze Chairman, Chief Okeke-Ogene said they visited the traditional ruler to show respect and to carry the traditional institution along in whatever they do as custodian of culture in Igbo land.

“There is nothing will do without you. If there is any case that is beyond us, we will consult you for advise and possible resolution. Obi of Onitsha is bridge between the people and the government and his throne is falling point for Ndigbo, Onitsha culture is a complete and standard that other Igbo land emulates”.

He said that the group had already condemned the call by IPOB leader to boycott governorship election in the state, saying that election must hold “Nobody who fought war will like to fight again. So we should be fighting war of sense and not physical war to being Ndigbo into the main stream in the country.”

let's assume there is to be war in Nigeria tomorrow, what region do you believe will fight against the other? grin grin maifren the masses are tired of this nonsense called country. if you think ordinary people are ready to die in a useless fight to keep a shithole going so politicians can continue to amass wealth they don't even need, that's mighty delusion on your part. you can take this info to the bank.

Election will hold in Anambra simple

We will crush them

apart from Ipob matter, I have stopped voting long time ago. Election in Nigeria does not worth it and I think everybody should stop voting. We have voted for the past 50yrs and nothing to show for it. You dont keep doing the same thing and expecting different result. Let Nigeria change her system of Govt or divide it and become united nations.

Anambra or Omanbala like you've written is just a state, a geopolitical boundary created in 1991, prior that date,there was nothing like Anambra state.
If majority of Igbo people in Anambra are fed up with the status quo in Nigeria and give their support to Nnamdi Kanu, who is a bonafide igbo son,there is nothing you and your obi can do about it.
Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi and Imo are mere political boundaries, they are not a homogenous group. Why would a reasonable person say 'my ndi anambra will not listen to anyone from another igbo state'.
Why push a mere state above a collective Igbo interest? Smh!
Igbo people accepted Azikiwe, Ojukwu and Nzeogwu in the 60s regardless of their states but your foolishhness make you look down on other igbos because they are not your state.
It is Ok to say you don't like Kanu and wouldn't obey him but why treat him like he is less than ndi Anambra.
This is too poor! Grow up!
the dude u are quoting is not igbo, u should know better by now.

Yeah! It is easy to codemn Civil movement.

We will like to hear our Obi condemn the murder of innocent protesters, women and children by the Military that swore to protect them.

The Obi needs to condemn rape of women and children in their village farm by Fulani Herdsmen.

If the Obi can remain mute about the plight of Ndiigbo then he constitute part of the problem Ndiigbo face.

A lion in the house against his own people struggle is not the character trait of a Royal but that of a slave.
Innocuous fools have enjoyed special privileges in cultural and economic groups,whereas aggresive madmen have had to be restrained or incarcerated.
A fool is not expected to know better or know anything,because of this the fool has often been given great relative freedom particularly In speech.

Remember no country has ever survive second civil war. Nigeria will cease to exist with another civil war but new countries will emerge. If it will take another civil war to actualize Biafra or Republic of Igbo land, I say so be it.

People should keep quite already, votes will be recorded but turnout will be low. Stop making it look as if no one will vote and a military administrator will be imposed.

If election is not precipitated, the government in power continues. Nobody can institute military administrator in democratic setup.

I really admire kanu's courage n doggedness but he needs to know that "when pride comes in as a result of success,men begin to fall from grace to grass". KANU need to be circumspect in his agitations,boycotting the anambra elections is I'll advice, one would expect him to encourage ndi anambra to stick with APGA the brain child of ojukwu n bid his time,by stroke of luck kanu's struggle has awaken tremendous conscience among Nigerians if only he would key into the restructuring desire of most deprived Nigerians, success would have been sure than never,but I'm afraid KANU is pushing his chi too far.

There is absolutely no showboating with boycott of election. It is even a dull approach to insinuate that boycott of Anambra State election or any election for that matter is ill advised. Anything to make Nigeria unworkable through peacefully means or even otherwise is a welcome idea.

I think for now Nnamdi Kanu is the power steering of over 40% Igbo descendants, he has their control in his dashboard. I pity those who are suffering from schizophrenia as results of this man, those that are psychological enslaved by this man.




How will you realize Biafra when Igbo are not United?

How will you deliver Biafra when you mix other tribe with igbo as part of Biafra


The youngest country today is South Sudan, since the South Sudan broke they remained unsettle. There's unease going on their. The two tribes Nuer and Dimka have been in chaos and military combat. And the UN neglect them

Only fool thinks that self determination is a foolhardy approach. If the departure of Biafrans or Ndigbo shall result in the cessation of the cesspit called Nigeria, then the demands of Biafrans or Ndigbo should be met. If such demands cannot be met, the people calling for self determination should be allowed to walk.

This is where you miss it. It doesn't matter if you and your cronies choose to stay indoors, democracy is about the infinitesimal few that perform their franchise. Whether 5% of the registered voters or less. If you truly believe in this Biafra project, put forward people of like minds to take over the leadership of the region.

It is achievable if you have no hidden agenda.

Nobody is stopping the election from taking place, but the truth of the matter is that nobody is voting.

Go and vote, but don't drag anyone along.

Aso much as the obi of onitsha would be respected, you need to stop taking bribes from politicians like the rest of all these yeye "royal kings" in that damn able zoological republic. Have respect for yourself, be like Asagba for Godssake, you're an igbo king. Stop talking bribes and ranting. You're supposed to be for the people, not for politicians.
Listen to your people and their words. Look at how many of them showed up to meet kanu when he visited onitsha. From what I heard, he had the highest number of attendance in onitsha than other areas.

LISTEN TO YOUR PEOPLE AND FIGHT FOR THEM, STOP FIGHTING FOR GREEDY ASS POLITICIANS.
When did you even come out and speak on the military killing your own people in your own land? When? Did you even have any condemnation for it or did you ignore it because they are " IPOB supporters" And these are supposed to be the set of people you rule. You continue this way and the onitsha ppl would lose the the respect they have for you. From the looks of it they are slowly loosing that respect for you. I used to live in onitsha and I still have a brother living in onitsha so I know this for a fact, whatever you condemn and say, the onitsha people listen. Few months ago you condemned biafra and the Biafran movement, this month when Nnamdi visited your town, your town had the highest turnout of supporters than any area he's visited before. That says alot!!!! For the first time ever, what you said was ignored by your people. Heck I even saw a post from a friend on FB that is from onitsha that attacked and insulted you. You are loosing the respect of your people and it is really really sad that you can't even see it because of your greed. Stop allowing this politicians to bribe you and use you. You are for the people, not them cause by the looks of it those politicians are going to make you lose everything you have. Be like Asagba.

The irony of this vote or no vote argument is that majority of the people who are talking tough against boycotting the Anambra elections do not have any intentions to go out and vote themselves.

Does anyone have pictures of the Obi of Onitsha voting in any of the elections, what about his children? The reality is.... they don't bother!! Why will they anyway, when elections in Nigeria are like wars being fought, who in their right senses will want to risk their lives, especially for these politicians who are all about themselves and their families.

All these big men preaching "go and vote and all" should also vote and have their wards vote, no be to dey tell people to go and vote when they sit in their palaces and mansions while ordinary people risk their lives.

Elections are violent and dangerous in this country and for what exactly? To vote in the likes of Buhari and these politicians running everything down, mba!!! I will never risk my life even if Kanu did not say it.
