Addressing reporters in Awka Friday, the chairman, Forum of State Presidents of Ohaneze in the seven Igbo –speaking states, Dr. Chris Eluomunoh said that no right thinking person would support what he called the madness by some youths, who were being deceived to engage in something they cannot finish.
He said: "You will notice that Ohaneze has been very silent on the issue of Biafra insurgency, though the youth wing of Ohaneze has been speaking on it. Ohaneze, as the Igbo cultural group, cannot support Biafra and we dissociate ourselves from it totally. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Ohaneze indigbo everyone know that you are there for your stomach, so we cannot say we do not expect this from you. supporting BIAFRA is like taking away food from your own mouth. for your information, we do not need you people because having you around us will make BIAFRA unachievable.
ReplyDeleteDo not mind the old fools my dear, they are the reason why our lives are this way.these are people who have mogaged the future of their children, they are scared of buhari
DeleteCan biafra give up
ReplyDeleteThis is getting serious now! Let's watch out for angry response! Igbo kwenu...lol
ReplyDeleteIf only this group had some credibly before all this then it would have helped. They are seen as errand boys always begging for leftover crumbs in Abuja. We need a more credible person or group to step in. You notice how they did not even talk about people's grievances that led to this mess in the first place? Because they are afraid Abuja will give them reduces left overs. Nothing is more important than a good name and credibility
ReplyDeleteOk na. Mgbe olulu
ReplyDeleteI would like to ask, how old are u people? Did u witness the last biafra war? How many of ur children, family are going to be at the forefront in the war? Are they even in Nigeria? Those that witness the last war should call their people to order now so that they should not start what they can not finish.have u watch what is going on in Syria now?May be u will think twice.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you expect it must be war? Oh yes we know why. Because we are in a zoo that is why any request to leave a country is seem as war while in civilised places it becomes a referendum. God save us from this zoo.
DeleteIt is a pity that these Elders have lost their credibility so much that the youth can no longer find wisdom in their wise words. Biafra actually died after the war, this is why Ojukwu never mentioned it again. Sincerely my brethren, the disadvantages of spliting are more than the advantages. Let us all calm our nerves and feelings down for 10mins and consider this. God bless all my Igbo brothers and God bless Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteWHO MADE THIS SABOTEUR AND COWARD SPOKESMAN FOR THE COLLECTIVE ASPIRATION OF TRUE BIAFRANS. THIS IS THE SAME PEOPLE WHO SOLD OUT OJUKWU AFTER AHIARA DECLARATION. AWAY WITH SABOTEURS IN THIS PRESENT STRUGGLE. BY THE WAY WHAT HAS A CULTURAL GROUP GOT DO WITH POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE. PLEASE OHANEZE NDI IGBO YOU WOULD DO VERY WELL TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY OF A MOVING TRAIN OR GET YOURSELF CRUSHED. THIS NEW CONSCIOUSNESS IS NON VIOLENT AND ADHERES TO ALL INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED STANDARDS FOR PRESSING A DEMAND. PLEASE DO THE AGITATORS A FAVOR BY KEEPING SILENT AT-LEAST IF YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THEM.
ReplyDeleteBIAFRA AGITATORS DISOWN OHANAEZE IGBO AND WHOEVER IS SABOTAGING THIS STRUGGLE. IF THE CULTURAL GROUP IS CREDIBLE ENOUGH LET THEM ADDRESS THE AGITATORS FIRST BEFORE COMING TO DISCOURAGE THESE YOUNG FREEDOM FIGHTERS.
ReplyDeleteRead what former Chief of Army staff said: IHEJIRIKA WROTE ON HIS FACEBOOK WALL :
ReplyDeleteFOOLISH IS NOT IGBO!!!
For 6 years our own occupied the offices of Deputy Senate President, Deputy Speaker, SGF, Minister of Finance /Coordinating Minister of the Nigerian Economy, Ministers of Health, Aviation, Labour, Petroleum (by Marriage), Chief of Army Staff etc yet nobody complained that the Igbos got too much of the Federal Power rations neither did your highly placed brethren improve your lot in terms of development!
Other ethnic groups watched carefully and played their politics towards national relevance while we the Igbos got carried away and played politics of the pocket where semi-illiterate money bags charted the cause for us!
Those who have access to Aso Rock and got fat contracts sustained the lies to hoodwink both Aso Rock Gods and the Igbos. In blind response devoid of any logical reasonings the Igbos put all their fragile eggs in one basket that had lost form and shape to protect them.
As the results of those fatal errors set in the same money miss roads are now fanning the ambers of secession as their next meal ticket bargaining chip while the teaming youth they lure with money and lies risk losing everything including their lives for nothing in the end.
Compare the Igbo TAN money bags and/or failed politicians to the likes of Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola who are hardly seen or heard playing partisan talk less of ethno-religious politics!
Imagine Dangote gathering the leaders of Northerners in Lagos and imposing political party or candidate in Lagos State politics on them. Such is near impossible!
The Igbos have allowed derogatory pocket politics to puncture their natural nobility as a people!
With men of honour and class like Ebitu Ukaiwe, Emeka Anyaoku, Ndubisi Kanu, Ben Nwabueze and others the Igbos should have no business listening to the likes of Ifeanyi Uba (Capital Oil), Chris Uba etc any time they talk politics!
Foolish is not IGBO!!!
