The apex socio-Igbo cultural organization, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has declared Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode as number one enemy of Ndigbo.

The development is sequel to the demolition of Oshodi market, which is believed to be largely occupied by Ndigbo on the first week of the New Year.

Speaking at a press briefing in Enugu on Monday, the national President of the Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, alongside the National Secretary, Okwu Nnabuike said Ambode by his actions had drawn a battle line between himself and the entire Igbo land.

While describing the demolition as “an action done in bad faith”, the group wondered why the Lagos State Government should carry out such act at a time when it clearly knew that the owners of the shops were in their villages for the Christmas and the New Year festivities.

He said, “it is instructive to observe here that contrary to all principles of common justice, the traders were merely given few days quit notice. It is equally shocking that the government chose such a wrong time for the demolition exercise, thereby not only taking the shops from them but making sure that their wares were looted.

“We are forced to ask: could this be the starting point in implementing Oba of Lagos’s earlier threat during the election period that Ndigbo would be thrown into the Lagoon? Could it be another round of deportation of exercise, similar to what former governor Fashola did? These appear to be so considering that a witch cried in the night and a child died in the morning.”

While maintaining that the Lagos State Government’s action was a threat to the unity of the country, he demanded for adequate compensation of the traders who had suffered great losses as a result of the demolition.

He stressed that “it is quite inhuman for people’s means of livelihood to be taken away from them in such a manner. The government’s claim that arms were recovered from a section of the market does not fly at all here because it cannot be a reason for such a wicked treatment purely targeted on a particular people.

“We demand that the Governor of Lagos State should direct relevant government agencies to adequately compensate these traders; anything short of that, Ndigbo will henceforth regard the Governor as their number one arch-enemy.”

As an Igbo dude...Ohaneze doesn't speak for me


Ambode Akinwumi is a friend of the Biaigbo....


He has done well and needs my blessing ...let them go home and establish




With all the bashing have been getting for the ABOVE comments..I have this to say....


I was born in Lagos,
Primary and secondary in Lagos, higher in the East...
Our brothers don't invest in the east ...

I know a cousin, he has a property worth 100M in Lagos, and has a small bungallow in the east worth 1M, but if Ambode destroys that one now for fly over or so, what will he say His enemy of progress, ?

For those of you in the East whom has never been to lag,and hanging behind your phone to type trash...that market is an illegal market location, any encircle in Lagos around a bridge,is used for motor Garage or garden this era when bus is falling off bridge in lagos, and theirs a world class Army Shopping Complex just 20Feet away from this junk market, and surrounding building occupied by same our Igbo brothers on well planned structured...


There's no way Ambode wouldn't have given them time to pack out or relocate, tho, his wrong to have demolish the structure at that crucial time, but truth be told, from the date of Ojukwu calling Igbo's in trade fair Ewu, we should have used our tongue to count our teeth....

For those calling me silly names and tagging me and sending my comments to different social media, I don't give a 4Ck, Ambode should demolish more, it's time for us to use our heads and let's Go home,...go back and develop the east, stop coming back every Xmas to form and intimidate those dudes there with wealth and cars,snatching wives and commuting differ types of atrocities all in the name if am a business man in Lagos..... Develop the east and create something in your home town ...

If every wealthy Igbo man can create a Light or Heavy industry in the easy,our youth will deviate from crime and work hard,take a cull from Innosson and Uba....
How can a single man have 7shops in one market ,?? Nah your village market ??

When we fight let's fight for a god cause,
Ambode is Megqnizijg Lagos city,if you ain't okay with his reforms pack out....
All those governors in the east that destroys nko ?? What have we said to them ? Enemies of modern world abi?

Make we leave trash and Lobbish(in anambra dialect) for Lawma



Anu of you Quote me again and May Orunmila and Obatala ati Amadioha gbagbuo gi dia Ewu Hausa

igbos got too many issues. Trivial ones

Signed and stamped....gbam!!

.

[size=15pt]pls tell us, na only ndigbo de the market?
I don't know why they like their selves more than the development of the state. What i know is dat you cant fight the government or else, all of you go land for your Village, at least Lagos go get rest[/size]


Pls don't ban me o

These Ohaneze guys are funny. Ambode is the governor of Lagos state in south west Nigeria and not south east. He doesn't need their friendship to carry out his constitutional duties. The last time they declared Fashola their enemy, he climbed up and became the most powerful minister in Nigeria. So, ohaneze should take a chill, nobody cares about their declaration of friendship or enmity.

Bunch of red capped jokers crying as if only igbos own shops in oshodi. How much is the so called wares of their brothers self? Is it those fake pirated Cd's from Alaba or those second hand okrika clothes they are fond of selling?? With the way they are wailing, one would think the igbos lost more money than Yoruba traders who mostly lost millions but remained quiet and obedient. Igbos are fond of playing the victim card in every situation. They better respect their host or expect more harsh treatments sipping my sperm juice

Slikbae:
igbos got too many issues. Trivial ones

what's trivial about losing your family's source of livelihood? They paid some forms of TAXES and at least they deserved better!

If LASG can prove the market traders had sufficient time to vacant the premises after receiving a notice. There is nothing the UN can do.

Please what is ohaneze?
Why do these people feel that any action carried out is purposely to deal with them.

the group wondered why the Lagos State Government should carry out such act at a time when it clearly knew that the owners of the shops were in their villages for the Christmas and the New Year festivities.

So government should not work again because someone somewhere is getting drunk with palm wine in his village.

Again, they may constitute a significant % of the shop owners in Oshodi, igbos are not the only tribe in that market. These people should just shvt up and move on with the ongoing progress. Illegal structures claiming space...

Ambode! Ambode! Ambode! How many time did I call you? Kpachara anya!!! The hate is too much....

The red capped chiefs has spoken! ambode should do the right thing or face the wrath of the gods.

“We demand that the Governor of Lagos State should direct relevant government agencies to adequately compensate these traders; anything short of that, Ndigbo will henceforth regard the Governor as their number one arch-enemy.”

Useless Red Cap Chiefs

Chubhie:
The red capped chiefs has spoken! ambode should do the right thing or face the ruth of the gods.

Red capped ko, red yansched ni...

Nkita racha ohaneze Anya. Who owns those shops that were demolished? Answer is YORUBA People, but did you hear them complain? Government even gave them up to one year to pack out. Sometimes it baffles me how the Igbo of my generation thinks.

When Peter Obi decongested upper Iweka, nobody lamented, but now see how beautiful upper Iweka is now, why is ohaneze sentimental about this, You ppl should leave Ambode to develop his state the way he wants. If you're not ok with his policy please pack to another state.







I refuse to be a sentimental Igbo.

Awon were,

who cares?

You did same to fashola. You did worse to Buhari. In all, God has been greater than you. Shameless set of deluded people.

If you cannot stand the demolition of those shanties of 2by2inches shops, find your way to Ariara market. I thought you said Lagos is no man's land!!!

By the time he is done with you, you will know that Oduduwa is superior to Nri and Amadioha is not in the same class as Shango.

Jobless old men.
Say another thing.

Chubhie:
The red capped chiefs has spoken! ambode should do the right thing or face the ruth of the gods.

iPod English on display.... ...Deborah nko....

Must this igbo group talk to show that they are relevant?If I talk say they are the most useless and worthless ethnic Asso in Nigeria,them go talk say I no like the igbos.What a reckless statement.

Chubhie:
The red capped chiefs has spoken! ambode should do the right thing or face the ruth of the gods.

Lolzzzzzzzzzz.Igbo people sha.They won't cease to amuse mi.

Ohaneze ndiigbo is a compromised body and thus doesn't hold opinions of the Igbo's.

Come 2019 Igbo's may have to go against ohaneze wish and vote for ambode. To prove to them how disgust they look more than the ofe's

I think that will put these folks to standard.


Even ipoob will be disappointed with this reckless unworthy disposition.

You should be busy collecting owo daa and not looking for Deborah or Ruth online.

Hahahahaha when did basket mouth join ohaneze

macfish101:
Ambode! Ambode! Ambode! How many time did I call you? Kpachara anya!!! The hate is too much....

Go and die!

LOL!

In Burahi's voice what do igbos want?

At least they did not vote for him instead they openly supported pdp's agbaje. So why expect anything from him. Luke 12 V 48 "to whom much was given, of him much will be required".
