A divided house cannot fight a common enemy. From the look of things, Ndi-Igbo and IPOB are in for serious feud. Until the Igbos put their house in order, it's virtually impossible for them achieve the status of a nationhood.

Ndi-Igbo Germany, an umbrella body of Igbo people living in Germany on Monday tendered an unreserved apology to the former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, over the weekend attack on him by members of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra in Nuremberg, Germany.

A statement by Uche Anichukwu, Special Assistant to Ekweremadu on Media said the group has said that any embarrassment to a leading light of Ndigbo like Ekweremadu was an embarrassment to the entire Igbo race and Nigeria, vowing to ensure that the law runs its full course.

The body said the event was part of its efforts to encourage foreign investment and industrialisation of Igboland, noting that it “provided a forum for Igbo people in Diaspora to network and to engage German business community with interest in investments and development in Igboland in particular and Nigeria in general”.

According to Anichukwu, the apology letter was signed by NIG leader, Engr. Ogechukwu Nsofor. He quoted the group as saying, “We, Ndi-Igbo Germany, the umbrella/apex union of all Igbo unions operating in the Federal Republic of Germany are shocked and dismayed by the unprovoked, unwarranted and senseless attack unleashed on Senator Ike Ekweremadu in Nuremberg, Germany.

“Ndi-Igbo Germany, wish to offer our unequivocal apology to our special guest of honour, Senator Ike Ekweremadu – former Deputy Senate President – for the unfortunate treatment misdirected at him by members of Indigenous Peoples Of Biafra in Germany during the occasion of our second Annual Igbo Cultural Festival and Convention 2019.

“It must be emphasised that Senator Dr. Ike Ekweremadu had nothing personal to gain in attending our cultural day. Rather the Igbo residents here in Germany lost an opportunity to tap into his reservoir of knowledge.

“No words can describe our shock, our consternation, and our sadness at this inexcusable, shameful and senseless attack. We apologise from the depths of our hearts that you had to experience such a horrible thing here in our midst. This is not how we are here. Please do not hold this incident against the 99 per cent law-abiding Umu-Igbo in Germany.

“Our apologies go to Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo and to all well-meaning Igbo-Diasporan groups and associations both at home and abroad for this disgrace.

“We sincerely apologize to the National Assembly and indeed to our entire country for such an unwarranted assault on Senator Ike Ekweremadu by the IPOB members in Germany.”

He added, “Let this event be a rallying call to all Umu Igbo at home and worldwide to always seek unity rather than primitively turning against ourselves in senseless violence which will make neutral and friendly global nations turn away from us.

“Ndi-Igbo Germany (N.I.G) condemns in strongest terms this action by the members of IPOB in Germany against Senator Ike Ikweremadu. Ndi-Igbo Germany distances herself from any group that encourages violence, directly or indirectly.

“It is not acceptable that an Igbo man or woman would come to the occasion of an ancient Igbo traditional event like Iri-ji and not only cause commotion, but also physically attack an invited guest, a fellow Igbo brother from home and a senior Igbo elder statesman in the person of Senator Dr. Ike Ekweremadu. This is an abomination in Igbo land. And in a foreign land! Is this what we have come to in our united struggle, Ndi Igbo? A house divided against itself cannot stand.

“This single action will cost IPOB in Germany more than 70 per cent of her hitherto sympathisers. What IPOB Germany thought in their inept, diminutive, and megalomaniac mindset as a humiliation of Senator Ekweremadu is, in reality, a humiliation of the Igbo race in a foreign land”.

When Buhari, Tinubu and Oshiomole enter europe they will still be given the IPOB paracetamol to cure their HEADACHE

those people that call demselves ndi igbo in germany are disgracing igbos by asking ipob to tender an apology. by beating the man, igbos tell d whole world dat stupid leaders are not acceptable. if u cannot catch dem in nigeria because of their escort, then catch where their security men cannot protect dem. ipob shud not apologise instead let dem disgrace oda stupid and heartless leaders.

Apology for wetin nah?

We the good-loving Igbo people are happy with what happened to Ike Ekweremmadu. He may be the wrong guy (according to you people) but the message has been sent.

"Asokata eze anya, ekpuru nkata n'isi gwa ya okwu"


Politicians, To test the love of your people, travel and see

LonelyDora,

What they did to him was bad and despicable, it was not necessary.
there are more civilised way of protesting but beating a man who believed in your struggle and risk his political position and carrier to help Kanu escape should not have been treated in this manner.

It simply point to one thing and the thing is that Kanu is not control of IPOB i am very sure that Kanu did not ordered the beating but he decided to claim the victory just like what terrorist do. They often take responsibility of bombing that they have no idea of just to put fear on the hapless people...

Ike deserves an apology.

On lighter mood Ike should eat his Yam jeje in Nigeria and leave overseas Yam for the meantime.

sowore is also scam. Its all about the money. The 150m sowore raised for last election was his main aim of contesting

What is 150million? It cannot even buy land in some parts of Lagos. It will buy you 2 houses in some remote upcoming parts.
Ordinary Bayelsa state elections coming up, PDP raised raised almost 500million.
I believe in Sowore's mandate. However, I also believe even if he gets there, Nigeria may be too complex for him to manage.
If na money, he just needs to align with some other party (I'm not mentioning names) and he will see real MONEY. But he has always refused to do that.

Stop displaying your confusion. Sowore you mentioned protested unarmed and he's in jail so why can't Ipob beat those stealing from the masses?

Your hypocritical illiteracy level is far worrisome.
