OPC Warns Against Staging Biafra Protest In South West by Nobody: 4:07pm On Dec 04, 2015 |
The Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) has warned Biafra protesters not to move their campaign to the south western part of the country as they would not stand by and watch the region turned into ‘a theatre of war’. There have been a lot of protests staged by some Igbo people calling for an independent Biafra with the latest being a violent protest in Onitsha that resulted in the death of nine civilians and two police officers. Daily Trust reports that in a statement made available by the national coordinating council of the Yoruba group and signed by Comrade Akinpelu Adeshina, in Ibadan on Friday, December 4, the group said the heightened security situation in the country necessitated the warning. Part of the statement read: “We see the attempt to bringthe World Igbo Day celebration – in whatever guise – whichis normally celebrated on the 29 th September annually to the Yorubaland as a mischievous and diabolically crafted attempt to cause chaos in and destabilize Yorubaland; and this we will repulse and reject with everything at our disposal. “As much as we believe in the right of every person and group to self-determination, we are of the firm belief that this particular event is mischievously conceived and earmarked to be hosted in any part of Yorubaland. “It is true that the Yoruba are a liberal, peaceful and accommodating people, yet we are no fools and should not be treated as fools. “The South West part of Nigeria is the most secure and peaceful part of Nigeria today and should therefore not be turned into a theatre of war or avoidable crisis. “For too long, the Yoruba have accommodated all other tribes and nationalities like good hosts. We have not minded the odium and other atrocities committed against our people, and on our ancestral land. “During the last election campaigns, it was the height of all insults when the Igbos in Lagos derided and mudsling our highly revered traditional rulers, particularly the Oba of Lagos. Never in history has it been recorded that a Yoruba person or group crossed the Niger River into either the northern or eastern part of the country to go and vilify, desecrate or insult any of their paramount rulers for political or any other reasons. “The leeway to do business and own properties which the Igbo and other nationalities enjoy in Yorubaland has not been reciprocated for the Yoruba elsewhere, thus it would only be fair to warn anyone or group that if our relationship cannot be mutually beneficial, it should in no way be injurious to us as a people.” 2 Likes |

An IPOB protest in Lagos or anywhere in the SW is a direct invitation to burn Igbo owned shops and businesses in Lagos and elsewhere I am sure IPOB is not foolish enough to try such nonsense 6 Likes 1 Share |

I for one have no problem with their useless 'World Ibo day'. Where the problem lies is when these miscreants try to turn this into a protest. If that is the intention, then God help them try blocking roads on that day. My advice to the OPC and Yoruba elders is to proactively and secretly intimate some international human rights bodies about the act of provocation these urchins are about to embark on. I think doing this will give us MORE ROOM AND EXCUSE TO REALLY GET RID OF THEM ON A SAD DAY THAT WILL BE FOR THEM WITHOUT ANY CONSEQUENCES.!!! 1 Like |

I'm sure that those planning the protests are aware that these guys are not bluffing. I will appreciate it if we allow peace in this country. I am sure if there are firm assurance that it's going to be a peaceful protests, the Yoruba won't bother. The leaders should just reach out to their southwest hosts and convince them that there won't be problem. I remember that members of the Arewa and Opc protested in favor of release of Al-Mustapha although the cases of Ipob leader and Al-Mustapha and sponsors of the protests are different. Let there be peace in the Land I beg all these Alagbaras |

That is not bragging sir I merely stated the facts . The death of fellow humans is nothing to be proud of We only attack when we are pushed to the wall. An iPod protest in SW is pushing us to the wall and we will demonstrate our resolve punish iPod and their supporters, unfortunately some innocent ones might also be affected. You as an Igbo man should understand that. ezeagu: 2 Likes |

ezeagu: He has spoken. I have spoken. OPC has spoken. Yorubas have spoken.!! I actually expect you to be involved in a team of your people who are hell bent on testing our resolve rather than arguing. Please ensure that your people confront enough enraged average Yorubas and OPC thugs that day. Lastly, I hope you all dont cry and wail genocide or any trash whatever the consequences of your actions that derail a world of peace might be afterwards. Human right bodies are well aware of circumstances like this and wont worry themselves knowing who the original belligerents are. 2 Likes |

Anyone can hold meeting where in the country, anyone caan protest anywhere since its not a riot. Igbos n Yoruba's never had a fight that I know off. I only experience hausa and yoruba far back in 90s when Yoruba's ran for shelter in thier home land. But anyway I believe Yoruba's can't wage a war with any tribe. |
