Youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, the Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, has advised those spearheading the agitations of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra that seceding from Nigeria would not be in the interest of Ndigbo.

The OYC National President, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro stated this on Saturday during a press conference in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, while unveiling plans for this year’s Igbo Youths Day slated for Monday in Umuahia.

He stressed that it is better for Ndigbo to remain in Nigeria and struggle for their fair share of the ‘national cake’ than fight for self-determination which is bound to come with consequences.

“It is better we remain in Nigeria and fight for our rights than secede. We have been patient enough and in 2019, it will be our turn to produce a Nigerian President. It will take a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction to heal the wounds of Biafra,” he stated.

Isiguzoro however called on the Federal Government to unconditionally release all members of MASSOB and other Biafran activists detained in various prisons across the country, and address injustices against Ndigbo in the country, which he noted were the major reason for the agitation for self-rule by MASSOB and other pro- Biafran groups.

He maintained that it flies in the face of reason for MASSOB members who are non-violent to continue to be held illegally for years in detention, ‘‘while the same government is busy releasing captured members of violent groups like Boko Haram and Niger Delta militants who have taken up arms against the state.”

“Since the Federal Government is secretly negotiating with Boko Haram terrorists, why can’t it also negotiate with MASSOB, which is non-violent? Since it is releasing some Boko Haram fighters, it should also consider MASSOB members detained illegally in prisons,” he added.

The OYC President however declared support for the anti-corruption crusade of President Muhammadu Buhari, stressing that those responsible for the woes of Nigeria should be brought to book.

He went on to reveal that this year’s Igbo Youths Day would be used to sensitise Igbo governors on the urgent need to invest in agriculture for youth empowerment.

In an earlier remark, Chairman of the organising committee and National Vice-Treasurer of OYC, Dr. Lawrence Dozie, gave the theme of this year’s celebration as “Ndigbo: The Challenges of our Youths.”

I hope they hear!!!!

Some people will come here to tell us that Mazi

Okechukwu Isiguzoro

is Tinubu's paid Dog


What elders seee while sitting, if the youths climb everest , they won't see it


Better to listen than be sorry

In those dingbats voice, " the leader of the ohaneze is Yolober". By the way, where are those Ipob almajiris when u need them most?

The truth still remains that this agitation for secession can never stop, as long as the injustice and unnecesary hatred being metted out on Igbos, still persist. If we check it very well, the major people that are helping in boosting the economy of Nigeria, and saving Nigeria from irreversible economic armageddon, even in the face of massive lootings, are Igbos due to their extreme hard working and industrious natures, quote me anywhere... We at least, deserve to be appreciated, respected and deserve to be properly integrated into the Nigerian state, if not, the agitation for secession, will still not cease.

I wish Nigeria can remain as 1 country



But with all the injustice and tribalism iI won't blame any group that seek for succession

I almost cried as I read the first few paragraphs, especially when he said our fair share of d national cake? Hausa ppl have been feeding off u for a long time and d idiot is talking of fair share. the only thing ndigbo will get from Nigeria is d peanut which d British have told buhari to give u lots to keep people like okechukwu talking trash. he even said it will be our turn to produce a president in nigeria, when was d last time it was our turn? or it takes 55years for us to get a turn bunch of money grubbing pri.cks. my fellow igbo youths, u people should look into the matter carefully and decide within your hearts what is really best. presidency kor, 55yrs for a turn ni. mtcheeeeeeew

Biafra is a dead project. Who doesn't know this?

[b]'One Nigeria' is just for self benefit - anybody or tribe who is benefiting from it, be it in civil service, politics and business through monopoly, backed by evil structures put in place by past rulers will not agree that Nigeria should be restructured or otherwise. Many people have been sacrificed and are still being sacrificed to keep Nigeria one at the expense of justice, fairness and equity with crass looting of the treasury holding sway. 

The moment the consciousness of a people is awaken, no abuse or threat can stop them. The road may be long, the process may be costly, some might even pay with their lives, but more than ever important before is that the people want liberty, justice and equity. No man on this planet can hold them back.

If you lots are sincere you should have restructured the system or have its inhabitants choose and chart their own destinies. Strange bedfellows are not meant to be together!

Anybody defending the atrocious acts of their forebears against the Igbo Nation is wicked to state the least. It's in vain trying hard to deny the genocide committed against the Igbos. 

The real enemies of progress are the proponents of the status quo in the Nigerian system, and are accustomed to spreading lies and wicked propaganda.

Anyone who supports in the smallest ways the sustenance of a criminal system that has only brought shame, waste, killings and backwardness, should be charged with crimes against humanity.

It doesn't matter how long it takes, Igbos shall achieve their goals. 

“The right to development is a fundamental right by virtue of which every human person and all peoples are entitled to participate in, contribute to and enjoy economic, social and cultural development.

“It is a right which includes the exercise of full sovereignty over national resources, self determination, popular participation in development and equality of opportunity."

“Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with screwing people over your whole life, I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works. Sooner or later the universe will serve you the revenge that you deserve.” - Jessica Brod

We are talking IPOB these foolish children that have probably collected bribes from their Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba slave masters, Buhari and Tinubu, are talking nonsense!!

Good afternoon Lalasticlala. How was service today?

He maintained that it flies in the face of reason for MASSOB members who
are non-violent to continue to be held
illegally for years in detention, ‘‘while
the same government is busy releasing
captured members of violent groups
like Boko Haram and Niger Delta
militants who have taken up arms
against the state.”

In the last 5 years, one Ebele Azikiwe was the president and did nothing about their release.... Isn't that interesting...

Softly Biafran citizen. You guys abuse every tribe in Nigeria (zoo) and brag about your bravery.
If Nnamdi Kalu is an half caste and harping it loud to the whole world the mind of Ndigbo let him cast you into trouble one more time.

Are you denying him now? ?

Fine be a vanguard to your Kins to stop harassing people and plan a strategy to put somebody in Aso Rock. I am a. Yoruba person (and proudly that); we find ourselves in this country by divine design, though it is a marriage of strange bed fellows. We cannot easily change that.
For Yorubas to lose foremost persons like MKO, Kudirat Abiola, Olu Onagoruwa, Bola Ige etc and some agitators (living or dead) like Femi Falana, Gani Fawhinmi, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Awolowo etc struggling to make Yorubas gain relevance in Nigeria politics is not a joke.
So, some over zealous Igbo youths write nonsense here to harass people. Better strategy with patience will yield a desirable answer soon. Very soon. Long live Ndigbo.

What?


ArodewilliamsT, colitempa, after1, ebukaobi, mrkenokwoko, aareonakakanfo, subway101, arizona123 you guys must see this.

Mazi Okechukwu,

Okwu gi ku òtó ka àmu kèni ékéni.



Onye nwe nti ya nuru.


Thanks for listening.

A group of confused cowards.
Igbos will be better seceding

Fake Ohaneze Chieftain. Isiguzo, you have been bribed.

Instead of Nigeria making political reforms to water down the factors that make clamouring for secession by the Biafrans, Nigeria is rather heightening those factors.

Isiguzo, go and eat what you received to engage in this bullshitting talk, it is your own National cake.

Who care for the opinion of the so called ohaneze??
The same goons that collected huge amout of money from Nigeria ex leader just to support him, instructing Igbos to vote GEJ just to fail as usual.
We have heard enough.
They have failed us Enough.
Biafra or nothing.

OYC, what guarantee do u have that you will be given d privilege to produce next Nigeria President?

You guys should go and rest.

#proudlybiafran.

Thank God for am alive to celebrate my birthday today. It was a great success at Agodi Gardens Ibadan.

IamAtribalist:
