Stop identifying me with your cause, I’m a committed Nigerian – Ibori warns Biafra agitators A former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori on Sunday warned all those displaying his images during pro-Biafra protest to desist from such, stressing that he is a strong believer of united Nigeria where the rights of every citizen is held sacrosanct. This is as the ex-Governor’s photographs, embossed on banners, were been reportedly held aloft by some of the demonstrators, as they marched for Biafra through several cities in many states of the South-East and South-South parts of the country. Sounding this warning in a statement signed by his Media Assistant, Tony Eluemunor, Ibori also stated that the peace enjoyed by the country for forty-five years after the civil war should not be broken by residues being dug up by some people to further divide the nation and betray efforts at national reconciliation and development. He maintained that this must not be allowed. According to the statement, “Chief James Onanefe Ibori’s attention has been drawn to the way and manner his picture has been misused by some people who are involved in street demonstrations to drum up support for the establishment of the state of Biafra. “Ibori wants to make it clear that he is absolutely, completely and entirely committed to the indissolubility of the Nigerian State, as stipulated unambiguously in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “He said that all through his life, he has believed in a strong, united Nigeria where the rights of every citizen is held sacrosanct, where no region of state or even Local Government Area, is neglected or is made to feel alienated in whatever way, no matter how infinitesimal. “He therefore calls on those who have been misusing his name and picture – indeed his personality – in furtherance of a project he has never believed in at any time and in any way, to desist forthwith from using his picture and/or name during their demonstrations.” The former Governor advised everyone who is in any way involved in the Biafran demonstrations to remember that “The world hailed Nigeria for the peaceful way the rather fierce Nigerian Civil War ended in 1970. It is worrisome that 45 clear years after the end of that war, its residues are being dug up to further divide us and betray our efforts at national reconciliation and development. This must not be allowed to continue. “Nigeria has lived in peace in the past 45 years, and whatever challenges, disagreements even, that may have re-surfaced, are not beyond our collective ability to resolve. “I therefore call on all concerned, the demonstrators and the leaders of the different strata of government to identify the problems, determine the solutions, and turn the stumbling blocks into genuine building blocks for real nation building. “Ibori pointed out that many other countries including Canada, the United Kingdom and Spain, have sections agitating for various kinds of autonomy. “But if those countries have managed to keep such agitations at the level of peaceful discussions, Nigeria’s case should by no means lead to another national tragedy. Nigeria has split enough blood in internecine squabbles, he said, now is the time for genuine peace, national unity, and thorough-going, all-inclusive fast-paced development,” the statement concluded 1 Like |

FreeGlobe: Bruv (because I am 100% sure you are not a woman) let me tell you that Yorubas are not sentimental and senselessly clannish creatures you can rile up with your imbecilic taunts. Igbokwe did not insult Yoruba elders. He called out worthless Yoruba elders who are of no value to the very cosmopolitan and politically sophisticated Yoruba people. Igbokwe shows he is an honorary Yoruba man with how he understands that Yorubas have no love or clannish tolerance for Yoruba leaders who are treacherous and are not 'omoluabis'. Yorubas do not defend the miscreants in their society merely because they share ethnicity with them. That is why Igbokwe is comfortable saying what he did. He understands Yorubas well enough to know we will not back rogues, misrulers and traitors merely because they are Yorubas like us. We will call them out and disown them. 7 Likes |

samobaba: I have seen your type in many places and all my life I have positioned where they belong.. Frustration, misery and agony are all the signs you are displaying and it was because people like you that I must do everything possible to liberate...the zoo have eating your brain...that you now find it sane to turn the cane onto your own mother while she is only trying speaking out for you.... Oya take one sense; if you are educated and your perants are not does not give you any right to go about calling them illiterate...it's now up to you to share what you learnt with them and direct their dumb thoughts... I doň't believe ín Zoogeria, even the zoo doesn't believe in itself. A country of insane citizens.. Where people drive on the larn/ped walk ways Where ppl pee infront of the police station Where ppl fight for fuel the have in abondant Where governors jump traffic Whére police collects N20 from everybody including you Where hospitals go on strike and leave patients to die Where school see students as customers Where, policé, Military, Civil defence, Road safty officials and Uniform personel you can think of drive their cárs withour registration or even Plate No. Where Yoruba hate Igbo and Hausa and I Igbo hates them too and Hausa kills all of us when they choose. Where schools and hospitals look like shrines Where the courts are bais Where people still live on sands and stone as if they are Animals Where children walk around the streets with plates in the name of religion Where Education is all about certifícate because of Hausas Where the government would rather kill it's citizen than pay him his entitlements Where pensioners die misrably Where you can't say 'I no my right' especially if you are the police station...then they will cautiously violate it and ask you to do your worst Where all govt policies are ďirectly tergeted at extorting the citizens Where it's citizen have turned to become a semi govt on their own, providing everything required to live comfortable on their own Where a graduate like you lack common sense due to the stale education they plugged into your skull. I can go on and on and on.......... Yes I don't believe in Zoogeria at all and I am ready to give my life to any course to break this sham/illegal contraption called Nigeria. |

am i the only one noticing that the writer did not talk about only the things he considers bad about the igbos but also the yorubas. but why are the yorubas focusing on the lines about the igbos ? tribal-inferiority complex is really real. yoruba people please grow sense and know that the people you always bother yourselves about do not regard or take you as anything. and for the quoted writer, keep clapping for him, hope you know he is an IGBO MAN. osama-amrican-treatment i remember. |
