Attack on Igbos in Lagos Will Be Met With ‘Unimaginable Revenge– Ohanaeze.

Okwu, in the statement titled ‘Enough is Enough’, vowed that Ndigbo would follow up with commensurate reaction should there be any attack on them in any part of the country.

Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has issued a warning to those planning to attack Igbos in Lagos state and other South-West states.

The group said such an attack will be met with unimaginable revenge.

This comes after a post from an X user with the moniker, Lagospedia, had called for the forced relocation of Igbo people from the region.

The demand also trended on the social media, under the hashtag #IgboMustGo.

In a statement made available on Thursday night, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said the Igbos will not stand idly and watch other people plot against them.

He warned that any attack on Ndigbo in any part of the country would come with dire consequences.

Okwu, in the statement titled ‘Enough is Enough’, vowed that Ndigbo would follow up with commensurate reaction should there be any attack on them in any part of the country.

He said the people of the South-East had kept quiet for so long, hence endless unprovoked attacks on the Igbo people in other parts of the country.

He asked those behind the dangerous and sinister rhetorics to desist because the Igbos are not second class citizens in the country.

“We want to unequivocally declare today that Ndigbo are not cowards; our forefathers were not cowards; they were brave and so are we.

“We warn those fanning this embers of discord not to take the calmness of the lion for weakness; we are not afraid and shouldn’t be pushed to the wall by faceless miscreants.

“Any attack on Ndigbo by anybody will be visited with an unimaginable revenge. We are not second class citizens of this country. No one is more Nigerian than the Igbos.

“For decades now, Ndigbo have borne the brunt of every crisis in this country; they have paid the price for every upheaval in the country.

“This is one of the major reasons we decided not to be part of the hardship protest or whatever they called it. We knew that the moment we identify with it, they will term it Igbo protest.

“Yet, the same enemies of Ndigbo, the same people who are lurking for the blood of the Igbo people are unrelenting.

“However, we want to sound this note of warning to them; ‘Enough is Enough’. Any attempt to spill the blood of an Igbo man or destroy their businesses and properties will be visited with equal retaliation.

“Those threats will be resisted; henceforth any attack on any Igbo man anywhere in those aforementioned areas must be revenged with every seriousness.

“We are one of the cardinal pillars of this country, so nobody should threaten the Igbo in this country any longer.

“We call on Ndigbo not to be afraid to reside anywhere of their choice in the country and do their businesses; they should not mind the useless threats by those who intend to set the country ablaze,” he said.

The Ohanaeze Youth President tasked security agencies to immediately arrest those who originated what he called “genocidal threats against Ndigbo”.

“Should the security agents fail to arrest the perpetrators and instigators of war in Nigeria, we will be left with no option than to believe that they are part of the plan.

“We are also calling on the Federal Government to speak up on this matter; this should not be swept under the carpet.

“The Nigerian Government should take quick measures to arrest those behind this genocidal plot.

“To restore the people’s confidence, the government should arrest and prosecute all the criminals making unguarded utterances on X, inciting Nigerians against each other,” Okwu stated.

Okwu re-echoed his call on Ndigbo not to participate in the ongoing protest, maintaining his earlier stand that President Bola Tinubu government was on the right track and should be given more time.

“We reiterate our support for the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu government.

“Once again, we thank him for the South East Development Commission which was supposed to be in place since after the war to cater for the Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction mantra.

“We shall continue to advocate for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, additional states to be at par with other regions and correct imbalances on appointments in reflection of the federal character principles,” he further stated.

As an Igbo guy, I can tell you for free that the Yorubas are very peace-loving people and very accommodating, I would say more than most tribes in Nigeria. They like faaji(enjoyment) a lot and the opinion of that individual does not represent the peace-loving Yorubas generally.

Let's not bring politics into everything, elections have come and gone and there will be more elections in the future. These people can party and enjoy life enh.

We do not accept this kind of statement anyway. But it must be noted that the Yoruba Far right are trying to destroy properties of Igbo people and commit genocide unprovoked on ethnic Igbos in Lagos.

Igbos in lagos has every right to continue to contest and participate in any electoral positions in Lagos state. It is their constitutional right and by 2027, Igbos must have at least 3 members of House of rep in Lagos and atleast 4 members house of Assembly.

When Sanwo Olu also shut Alaba, the late uwanyawu started begging that they were visitors in lagos and the governor should have mercy. 3 governors travelled all the way from alaibo to beg sanwo Olu too. grin
