Igbos Are At Home In North, Seek Political Participation The president of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, Kaduna State Branch, Chief Austin C. Amaechi, has said that the Igbo would not abandon their multi-billion naira investment in the North. He said his people in the region would not be forced to go back to the East despite the wave of insecurity, adding that they are at home in the North. Speaking yesterday at his inauguration as the newly selected president of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, Kaduna State Branch, Amaechi said that since there are a lot of Igbo people in most northern parts of the country, it is important to have a leader that can enhance peaceful co-existence between them and their hosts, as well as protect their investments. “The Igbo currently have investments of over N40 billion in the North. So how can they leave that and go to the East? Economically, we are at home in the North. We also want to participate politically. We will therefore ensure that we pursue peace with our host communities and among the Igbo communities. This is because once there is peace, our investments and other people’s investments will be secured. If there is no peace, it is not only the investments of the Igbo that would be threatened; other Nigerians would also be affected. “There are a lot of Igbo people in most of the northern parts of the country. So there is the need to have a sound leader to ensure that the good relationship between them and their host communities is sustained. My mission is therefore to enhance an understanding between the Igbo in Kaduna State and their host communities,’’ he said. Amaechi was selected to replace the late Engineer Andrew Nwaekwe, who passed away in 2012. He called on the people to disregard the call by some groups that the Igbo should leave the North ahead of the 2015 general elections. “I am aware that our brothers in the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) have called on the Igbo in the North and outside Igbo communities in the East to come home. As the new Igbo leader in Kaduna, I hereby call on our people to realise that we are comfortable here in the North. We are waxing stronger and stronger. We are feeling at home; hence we have no reason to think of going home. We are not just coming to the North; we have been in the North from the beginning. I call on all the Igbo in the North to participate in the 2015 general elections and ensure that credible leaders, who will protect, not only the interest of the host communities, but the interest of the non- natives, are elected into offices. “I also want to say that during the Nigerian civil war, the properties of the Igbo were secured by northerners. And after the war when the Igbo came back, our properties were handed over to us, including the money collected from rents. That helped us to re-establish ourselves after the war. I don’t want to point to other parts of Nigeria where the investments of the Igbo were declared abandoned properties. That never happened in the North. That is giving us the confidence to continue investing in the North despite the security challenges. I can assure you that the investment will continue because very soon, the security challenges will come to an end by the Grace of God,” he said. http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/sunday/index.php/news/17988-igbos-are-at-home-in-north-ohanaeze

It's unfortunate that their investments in that region are under threat (and it is to the economic disadvantage of the region anyway) But hope they know when to apply wisdom and realise that life is to be preferred over money. 4 Likes |

After reading this piece I'm beginning to wonder who the real enemies of ndigbo are? The one who preserved their properties or those they call brothers who betrayed them? The North fought ndigbo to secure Nigeria which they will lose if ndigbo leaves, the SS betrayed ndigbo despite being majorly Igbos.. So who are the real enemies? I conclude that the evil was hatched by the north and the ndiofes to cause the mistrust between brothers, that so by ensuring no abandoned properties in their areas only within the east-PH to be sure. 3 Likes |

Is the one who preserved their properties and betrayed them or the one who secured it.The real enemies of the Ibos are the Ibos themselves. When you go to someone's home, you obey the rules. You dont go there exaggerating your worth and insisting you want to start making rules for them too. 11 Likes |

Take your sweet talk back to the evil forests of Okija, we do not need anyone to tell us we are living on no man's land in the next 10 years. The north is busy facing it's challenges and does not need the introduction of Granny rape_, baby manufacturing industry, kidnapping, drug trafficking, prostitution, cannibalism, ritual killings and fake drugs that is the hallmark of the Ibo. Why for Christ's sake can the nyamiri not stay and survive on their land? Yet the perennial chestbeaters will tell you they have a trillion dollars investment on your land, can't they use the money to develop red soiled, erosion ravaged slums of ala'igbo? Away jor!. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

ISpiksDaTroof: The real enemies of the Ibos are the Ibos themselves. Worst of all is that they always seem completely oblivious to the fact that they are even more annoying and irritating when they do that to others than they realise - literally behaving like tenacious parasitic fleas to a dog. 8 Likes |

I know for a fact I roles were reversed Ibos would not have kept the properties or handed over collected rents. 3 Likes |
