Why We Disowned Kanu, Ipob – Ohaneze by eyesoflagos: 8:05am On Jul 08, 2017 |
WHY WE DISOWNED KANU, IPOB – OHANEZE source: http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2017/07/why-we-disowned-kanu-ipob-ohaneze.html The apex Igbo socio-political group in the country, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, yesterday opened up on why it disowned the indigenous people of biafra (IPOB) and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. According to the group, Igbo people have invested heavily in different parts of the country, even as these investments outside Igbo land is so huge that leaving the country is not a reasonable option at this time. It also maintained that, while it denounced the IPOB, biafra and agents of secession, it is fully in support of restructuring. President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John Nwodo, who spoke on behalf of the Igbo people said they will always stand against total break up of Nigeria despite agitation of some youth from the region. Speaking during a session with Igbo leaders in Abuja, Nwodo added that no ethnic group has more stake in the country than the Igbos. The Ndigbo leaders were in Abuja to meet with critical stakeholders and have their understanding on the present happening. “Ohanaeze understands and appreciates the circumstances that prompted the youth agitations under the MASSOB and IPOB platform. We do not believe that leaving the country is a reasonable option at this time”, Nwodo told the Igbo leaders. Nwodo said that his group, governors, National Assembly members, traditional and religious leaders, after deliberating on the situation in Enugu, came to the conclusion that the restructuring option is the reasonable way to go and not secession. He explained that restructuring will bring Nigeria to a level where every person of which ever tribe, religion or class would have a sense of belonging and in return give in their best for the development of the country. Ethnic Agitations Are Becoming Dangerous – Udenta ,Meanwhile, a public affairs analyst, Dr. Udenta Udenta, has warned that ethnic agitations across sections of the country are becoming dangerous. Speaking in an exclusive interview with Eyes Of Lagos , Udenta said that there is need to apply restraint in the manner these agitations are made or else the nation will suffer the negative effect. He said, “The colonial mode of constructing the Nigerian state privileged ethnicity and regions over other nation formation categories and that ethnicity, ethnic consciousness, ethnic rivalry and charges and counter charges of hegemony overreached by different factions of the ruling elite were implicated in the decomposition of the structural and institutional facets of the post-colony in the early and mid 1960s. “Closer to us in time frame, one can even aver that 39 years after Professor Okwudiba Nnoli published his groundbreaking Marxist classic, ‘Ethnic Politics in Nigeria’, in which he interrogated the configuration of national identity and the production of political and economic power on ideological imperatives worked out by the confluence of the national political elite attired in various ethnic garbs, there is still something troubling incestuous about the upsurge in ethnic self live. “The unbridled and unrestrained embrace of ethnic nationalism is not only as an antithetical and ideological narrative but also as the unwholesome coming of souls and bodies from the same extended ancestral bloodline, “ Dr Udenta espoused. He, however, called on all and sundry to ensure that all hands are on deck to ensure collective peace in the polity. 2 Shares

According to the group, Igbo people have invested heavily in different parts of the country, even as these investments outside Igbo land is so huge that leaving the country is not a reasonable option at this time. Thats the main reason we should start looking for way out or let the one Nigeria championist start to give C of O to property owners....if we continue to claim one Nigeria the generation of igbo will be ignorant of the fact that only igbo people tends to invest more outside their region and going by the way things are in this country we would keep being threatened because of our properties outside igbo land. The next generation of igbo, if they behave like this present ohaneze generation, it means in the next 50-70 years igbo people will turn stooge,helpless and become one Nigeria apologist because of their ignorance of unstable one Nigeria. The earlier the better.. The ohaneze are sounding same word our oppressors are using against us.... They just want igbos to become slave so that when they order us packing like arewa youth did..they would come begging to stay in same country. Like lagos state government will wake up one day and order ladipo,computer village and bolade to move to an obscure location....same ohaneze will still come begging and after initial money has been paid. .they will give you one year before they come back again with same request.. Igbo amagha ihe..generations that were born after the war till 1980 or so were lost and sound mentally defeated. 3 Likes 1 Share |

sarrki: I think that eventually when Ohaneze finally realises that the North will never allow Nigeria to be restructured, they will see that break up is the only alternative. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Luckianti:Who is the goat here... you or Ohaneze? You people should continue fooling yourselves and making enemies with hate speeches across the country. Nnamdi Cownu has his family resident in the UK if you don't know because when the chips are down people like you will have nowhere to run to. |

Properties can never be more important than the future of unborn generation. Come to think of it, do u think that Igbos have something to loose after break up ? I doubt because there is law that covers that. But if they insist to eject Igbos out of Nigeria after break up, Nigeria would be at the loosing end because after doing that out anger and frustration, they will beg them to stay back after observing that their IGR is going down, but by that time, it might be too late. Nigerians should treat Igbos in Nigeria with caution if they don't want their economy to collapse . So, it's a win win game for children of God. 4 Likes 3 Shares

I used to be among those that used to shout ' ndigbo come back home' but on a second thought,if they come back , where will they start from? robbery and kidnapping? who will help them stand on their feet? will u lease them your land free of charge? I want Biafra but let's be diplomatic in d way we go about it. As it stands now, my brethren in d north, if it comes to do or die biko flee for your lives. |

adadike281:There is enough space to accommodate igbos if ever they come back. Ebonyi State alone is lying fallow with wide enough room for returnees. Igbos need to come back. Our population is our advantage. |

cumbak60:the truth is, it's never easy. if all these people rush back home in their millions abandoning all they laboured for, then u will know its not easy, then a plot of d fallow land lying in waste in ebonyi and Enugu will be sold for millions. let's be diplomatic pls. however, I wish to advise ndigbo that have d means to start investing at home now. come to any eastern state of your choice and invest now. eme ngwa ngwa, eme naghi odachi. |

adadike281:We are saying the same thing.... they should all come back. If Igbos pull their investment back home, they will create jobs and also help to develop igboland. I was in Awka few weeks ago, the hotel I lodged is owned by an Igbo returnee from Kano. He built it in space of months. Very nice and beautifully designed hotel with friendly staffs. I spent some time with some of the staffs, and I can proudly tell you that most of them were recruited from the same area. Now that is job opportunity and a additional market the guy just created. Remember, in setting up the structure, he had to source for materials, laborers and adhoc staffs.... a cash flow process was created and so forth. We will gain more, if Igbos start re-investing back home.... We can export to other region, or even West African countries as long as we are the top of our game. |
