Showing us the building of the Obi that is not even respected by ipob miscreants? Is it about building?

What has the Obi done for the igbos? Infact, what is the constitutional role of Obi?

Only Sen Abaribe!

Others are cowards.

Sir, all it takes to actualize Biafra is for the leaders to come out and declare their stand. All those hidden "support" does not add a gram to the struggle.

I'm not feeling this at all. It's just another big and ugly building with no historic importance and zero cultural significance.

The Obi did not build the house. Built by the entire Onitsha indigenes. That place does not belong to him. He does not live their. It is for official duties only.
