Igbo elites have maintained sealed lips over the ordeal of the agitator for a sovereign state of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, because they were never at any point consulted over his mission, an activist has said.

“I think it's very wrong to involve the Igbo elites in Kanu's woes since they were not involved from the beginning,” said Mazi David Nonso Ifeanyi Ezedinma, National Coordinator of Igbos Diaspora Initiative for Buhari (IDIB), a pro- President Muhammadu Buhari group of Igbo.

“The continued silence by Igbo elite is quite articulate; it speaks volume, saying the elites of the tribe won’t want to be dragged into what they have no idea about,” he said.

Ezedinma who spoke with Daily Trust on phone today said that he is worried about the continuous impression of cowardice by Igbo elites, or of abandoning their own, as being created by some analysts, and explained that the elites will not abandon their own.

He said the problem lies with Kanu’s handling of the issue of Igbo’s political status in Nigeria, explaining that an agitation for session cannot be an individual’s but the people of the tribe, which he emphasizes do not lack the intellectual capability to execute.

“The Igbo as a people are a force to reckon with in Africa and the world at large. We have the intellectual capability to execute any agitation, as we have the numerical strength. The agitation for session cannot be an individual’s opinion as though the nation of Igbo people lacks nationalists,” he said, adding: “There is nothing wrong with any individual raising nationalistic conscience, but executing an agitation to support such nationalistic ideals for the Igbo has to start with consulting the elites for their opinion and support.”

“We never knew there was anything like the agitation to create a sovereign state for a people scattered across the length and breadth of Nigeria. We only wok up a certain morning to read that a certain agitator for a sovereign state for us the Igbo, was on air the night before, making pronouncements for and on behalf of the Igbo. That is overzealousness.”

“Kanu did not consult the Igbo leaders before embarking on this unsolicited liberation crusade .One thing I want you to understand from the continuous silence by Igbo elites is that Kanu and his co-travellers did not consult the Igbo leadership before embarking on this sensitive agenda .However, if the young man is remorseful for dragging the entire Igbo race into opprobrium, that's the only reason Igbo elites should consider and intercede. If Biafran agitators are demanding for increased federal government presence in the South East certainly, Ohaneze ndi-Igbo and other notable Igbo groups would have made strong demand for Kanu's release. But what did we have; a Kanu looking for heroism using the Igbo,” he said.

Lies from the pit of hell.

..and who are YOU?

Consultation is important,that's where kanu goofed,that is why also any biafra with SS will fail!!!!!!!!......no SS elder and elite was consulted!!!!.....dis type of thing is not by bia bia,dis is not onitsha or aba business.People need to know the modus operandi of things...I just pity kanu...when buhari is through with him, sorry will be his name!!!!

Eledan:


..and who are YOU?

I am a nairalander.

EasternActivist:

Better. Your opinions stay on Nairaland.

This kanu don suffer! See as him nna brothers fashi am like abandoned baby! Abi the guy sef no be real igbo? Lol...

Nnamdi Kanu is in for a very long ride. He's going to hanged or given life imprisonment with hard labour. PMB is not Gej who's a weakling. PMB is a General and not a bloody civilian like Gej. Nnamdi Kanu should be properly dealt with. I'll suggest a death sentence by firing squad.

Eledan:

Better. Your opinions stay on Nairaland.

Why should it be so?
And when does question become an opinion.

You must be sick.

Your father and mother are both sick

Hausa/fulani have created another Igbo group (Igbo Diaspora initiative for Buhari) and endorsed them on the pages of Daily trust, an hausa/fulani newspaper. Laugh wan kill me ooo.

Why Nnamdi Kanu would struggle to recruit sensible Igbos:

wat will be will be!

We never knew there was anything like the
agitation to create a sovereign state for a people
scattered across the length and breadth of
Nigeria. We only wok up a certain morning to
read that a certain agitator for a sovereign state for us the Igbo, was on air the night before,

the Igbo. That is overzealousness.”

From the bold portions, what I deduce these guys are saying politely is that:

1. They have no idea who Nnamumudi Kaalu is- he's a nonentity.

2. He didn't consult anybody before speaking on their behalf, therefore, he's on his own!!

3. He's a raving lunatic.

God bless the good sons and daughters of Ndigbo.

Indeed. What sane and decent person will not be seething with rage over what GEJ and his minions have done to Nigeria? In fact what kind of human being is able to still support and hold brief for Jonathan today after all that has been revealed?

@Bold:
Is exactly why I will never support caving out a Caveland in Aligbo - you openly threaten to cut off my head because I have a different opinion on matters that affect me, my family and community too. What type of blood sucking desolation are you planning to create? Why should I then stop someone who wants to cut your ow head (since you just wish to cut mine)?.

I want the development and prosperity of Aligbo and I do not support your war mongering path to anarchy.

And yes, saying every Igbo man supports BiaNonSense is a Lie from the pit of hell.

There will definitely be consequences for the minority naysayers
