Enugu-based Catholic priest, Rev.
Fr Ejike Mbaka has disclosed why Igbos must insist on the unity of Nigeria.
Mbaka said Igbo should not be
seeking secession because they stand to lose a lot if Biafra is achieved.
The controversial clergyman
maintained that Igbos own most of the business ventures across Nigeria, as such
should seek Nigeria’s unity.
Addressing a gathering of Igbos
in East London, on Tuesday, Mbaka said, “No Hausa person owns property in
Igboland. No Yoruba person owns property in Igboland.
“But 60% of businesses in
northern Nigeria are owned by Igbos. 40% of businesses in western Nigeria are
owned by Igbos.”
Claiming to know how much Igbos
owned across Nigeria because he was regularly invited to say blessings at the
opening of new businesses by Igbos in northern Nigeria, Mbaka said, “Go to
Sabon Gari in Kano and see what Igbos own there”.
