Obi Of Onitsha Condemns Pro-Biafra Agitators by Kyase(m): 8:32pm On Nov 21, 2015 |
The paramount ruler and Obi of Onitsha in Anambra State, Igwe Alfred Achebe, has condemned the widespread protests by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who are calling for the separation ofthe entire south-east regionfrom Nigeria.The condemnation came on the heels of agitations and protests for Biafra nation across parts of the country, especially as the protesters clamoured for the release of the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who had been in detention since October.Speaking in an interview shortly after his inauguration as the Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, IgweAchebe told the protesters to shelve the idea of secession from the rest of Nigeria.He said that such agitation would only amount to violating the constitution ofthe country and the principles of democracy.The traditional ruler reminded the pro Biafra agitators of the inherent dangers involved in their action, emphasising that Nigeria remained a united and indivisible country irrespective of the numerous challenges.He urged them to channel all their grievances to their elected representatives in the National Assembly for consideration, rather than embarking on violent protests that could result into breakdown of law and order in the region.- TodayNG http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/obi-of-onitsha-condemns-pro-biafra-agitators.145036/ 50 Likes 6 Shares |

Kyase: Per the bolded, I hope this Igwe of a guy is not intellectually handicapped. In fact, the constitution guarantees the freedom of expression. In addition, agitation for self-determination is a vassal of democracy which Nigerian constitution upholds. 45 Likes 4 Shares |

Nonsense. The only thing I condemn is the violence and protest that has been attributed to IPOB. A group of people can decide if they want to be together in a country or not. If Britain agreed for Scotland to have a referendum on independence why should it be denied people in the south east if that's what they want. Give them referendum and if they vote to go it's goodbye Nigeria. I grew up in the North and I saw the hatred Hausas have for Igbos coming on nairaland showed how much hatred some yourubas have for Igbos. If this much hatred exists then it's folly to want to share a country. I can understand a Ghanian's hatred for a Nigerian, at least they don't share a country but hating on a fellow Nigerian because of tribe is confounding. 126 Likes 12 Shares |

Biafra is a socio-political movement that has gone beyond the realm of igbo tradition, myth and legend... why do you suppose most non igbos whose ancestral lands are east of the Niger identify with the cause?? Rubbish,for political expediency and strategic military alliance we prefer the word of Paul Biya or Omar Bongo or any one with close ties on this issue than selfish, money grubbing traditional rulers.... 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Before n ko, do they want a Paramount Ruler as his HRH Achebe to approve of it......the fact remains that every right thinking Igbo believes in the Biafran dream and silently nurture and cherishes this dream. Biafra, whether we like it or not has come to stay and not even 1,000 Buharis can erase that idea 32 Likes 2 Shares |

This is why I love the Igbo tribe we don't take or accept nonsense. During the Niger Delta militancy, the elders kept quiet coz they were the ones pulling the strings. Northern elders initially kept quiet till Boko Haram issue got out of hand. But trust us we don't keep quiet and allow miscreants to speak for the entire tribe. 21 Likes 1 Share |

[size=13pt] This is always the problem of the Igbo race. Many of our leaders are sell-outs, each only after his own pocket. You will never see the the Ooni of Ife, Olubadan of Ibadan or Alaafin of Oyo condemn the activities of the Oodua Peoples Congress as long as the activities remain peaceful. The Sultan of Sokoto has never reprimanded the Arewa Forum, even in their occasional maniacal ranting. A member of the Boko Haram was seen in the house of Sen. Ali Ndume. What happened to the case? Nothing Today, Rochas Okorocha is grovelling for the favour of Northerners at the expense of his own people. IPOB doesn't want war. Only weapon manufacturers ever want war.. All we want is a fair chance at self-expression and progress I weep for my brothers [/size] 40 Likes 1 Share |
