Nwabueze: Okupe Should Apologise To Ndigbo– Igbo Youths by fkaz(m): 10:02pm On Feb 21, 2013
BY EMEKA MAMAH
The Igbo Youths Movement, IYM, Thursday gave the Senior Special Adviser, Public Affairs to President Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe, 48 hours to apologise to Ndigbo over his alleged “uncivilised vituperations,” against elder-statesman, Prof. Ben Nwabueze, following the latter’s remark that Nigeria was becoming a failed state.
This was made known by the National President of IYM, Mr. Elliot Ukoh.
In the statement entitled, “Okupe’s Disgraceful Outburst,” Ukoh said, “Nigerians were shocked by the uncivilized vituperation of Okukpe over Prof. Nwabueze’s remarks that Nigeria was drifting towards a failed state.
“Okupe’s outright insult on the person of the eminent constitutional lawyer and his use of adjectives such as irresponsible and unpatriotic to describe the elder citizen’s genuine concern on the parlous state of the Nigerian ship, merelyconfirms Okupe as an unpolished man as only such people use gutter language.
“If Okupe disagrees with Prof. Nwabueze or any other commentator for that matter, he should not resort to insults. If Okukpe believes that Nigerians could be fooled about the reality of the Nigerian situation, then it is lamentable and he needs to bepitied.
“Google’s failed state index, places Nigeria at No.12 while Somalia is No. 1 among over 200 countries of the world. Okupe’s master has been incharge of 34 states in Nigeria for the past one year, while Boko Haram has Bornu and Yobe States”

Reminds me of when El-Rufai did an analysis of Anambra's budget and to Peter Obi it was a sliding tackle which he lacked the guts to pay back. He had to convert it into "an insult to Ndigbo" to whip up sentiments of IGBOS..

Okukpe's statement was directed at Ben and the apology(if any) should be to him.... PERIOD!!!

It's senseless that a people who claim "to have no leader" because of their "individuality" will whine and see statements directed at an "Individual" as an insult to "All IGBOs".....

Okupe, we Nigerians are behind you 100%. you are doing your job as spokesperson of GEJ/ Nigeria executive branch.

the so called Biafra Youth Movement can go to HELL.
you are not oyinbo. you are not USA. if you insult Nigeria or call it a failed state, you shall be insulted back.
if you don't like it then you should pack your load, wear lipstick and move to Ivory Coast. we no send.

infact, Nwbueze and his biafran ilks need to be rounded up by GEJ and thrown in jail cool
they will never cease in their attempts to try to find every possible way they can in their aim to destroy Nigeria. God punish them.

Presidency replies Nwabueze, says no indices of failed state in Nigeria

Senior Special Adviser to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe on Monday described the comments by elder statesman, Prof. Ben Nwabueze that Nigeria is sliding into a failed state as a gross act of irresponsible and demonstration of lack of patriotism, arguing that available facts and figures do not suggest anything of such.

He said those describing Nigeria as a failed state or that it is nearing this are wishing and dreaming evil for the country, adding that this would not come to pass

Also, Osaro Onaiwu, the Special Adviser on governors and governance to the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has described as unpatriotic, the recent statements credited to some eminent Nigerians that Nigeria is becoming a failing state.

Prof. Nwabueze had, at the 14th Annual Convention of the Igbo Youth Movement (IYM) in Enugu on Saturday, stated that Nigeria was fast sliding into a failed state.

His words: “This country is on the verge of becoming a failed state, there are so many failed states in Africa and Nigeria is on the verge of getting that status of a failed state.

“Before now, we didn’t know about kidnapping, but it has become a way of life. Did we know about bombings before? But today, churches, schools, offices are being bombed on daily basis; the worst is that the bombers are not coming from outside the country, we are bombing ourselves.


Reacting also to the position of the elder statesman, Onaiwu lamented that while nationals of other countries find ways to prop up their countries, Nigerians are in the habit of running down their country.

He further said this was even more disturbing, knowing that some of these statements are coming from elders (Nwabueze) who contributed to the decimation of Nigeria during their service to various undemocratic regimes in the past.

His words: "Now that our democracy is displaying stability even in its infancy, these statesmen should be thankful to this government for tackling some of the fundamental problems that were thrown at us by regimes that were not accountable to anybody. Problems that we all know cannot be solved overnight".

He also posited that a better way to determine whether Nigeria is a failing state or not is to look at the Foreign Direct Investment, which he said is already over $9 billion and is the largest in Africa. "I doubt if all these foreigners pumping money into our country think Nigeria is a failing state".

.....in that case Igbo Youth Movement has no authority to speak or issue threat since the insult was on Nigerians. Nigerian Youth Movement ought to be the one demanding answer.

It seems you lacked mental articulation. I know your backwater ethnicity does not have a leader or elder. Ndigbo may not have semi-autocratic leader but wise elders.
