Stephansmily:
The youth wing of the
apex Igbo socio-
cultural organisation,
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has
told the leadership of the Movement for the Actualisation of the
Sovereign State of Biafra that seceding from Nigeria, as
being agitated by the group, would not be in the interest of
the Igbo.

The National President of Ohanaeze Youth Council, Mazi
Okechukwu Isiguzoro stated this on Saturday during a press
conference in Umuahia, Abia State, to unveil plans for this
year’s Igbo Youths Day slated for Monday in Umuahia.
According to him, it is better for Ndigbo to remain in Nigeria
and struggle for their fair share of the ‘national cake’ than
fight for self-determination with its attendant consequences.
He said, “ It is better we remain in Nigeria and fight for our
rights than secede. We have been patient enough and in
2019, it will be our turn to produce a Nigerian President. It
will take a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction to heal the
wounds of Biafra.”

He called on the Federal Government to unconditionally
release all members of MASSOB and other Biafran activists
detained in various prisons across the country.
Isiguzoro also appealed to the Federal Government to
address what he described as injustices against Ndigbo in
the country, which he said were the major reason for the
agitation for self-rule by MASSOB and other pro- Biafran
groups.

He further argued that it defied logic for members of
MASSOB who are non-violent to continue to be held illegally
for years in detention, ‘‘while the same government is busy
releasing captured members of violent groups like Boko
Haram and Niger Delta militants who have taken up arms
against the state.”

“Since the Federal Government is secretly negotiating with
Boko Haram terrorists, why can’t it also negotiate with
MASSOB, which is non-violent? Since it is releasing some
Boko Haram fighters, it should also consider MASSOB
members detained illegally in prisons.”
The OYC helmsman however declared support for the anti-
corruption war of President Muhammadu Buhari, arguing
that those responsible for the woes of Nigeria should be
brought to book.
He also said the Igbo Youths Day would be used to sensitise
Igbo governors on the urgent need to invest in agriculture
for youth empowerment.
Speaking earlier, Chairman of the organising committee and
National Vice-Treasurer of OYC, Dr. Lawrence Dozie, said the
theme of this year’s celebration is “Ndigbo: The Challenges
of our Youths.”

"In the long history of humankind (and animal too), those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed" - Charles Darwin
I think those agitating for biafra are those who seems to be hopeless and helpless about their present situation in their daily struggles which is not peculiar to an Igbo man alone, with the fantasy that biafra is a land flowing with milk and honey that will eventually better his lots.
No reasonable Igbo man who has investment and business interests that will be craving for the unknown.
I know a lot of Igbo guys who have hotels, showrooms, warehouses, apartment buildings etc scattered around amuwo odofin and are still investing, these guy will not be willing to champion a course that will probably ruin their investment and life's struggles.
Those e-warriors shouting at every pages of nairaland are probably 'apriko boys' in odo-ade/agric, mandilas,computer village, Alaba, ladipo and trade fair in lagos, then Dede and mile 12 in Abuja & PH respectively.

Caveland in your dreams. And why should the majority who do not want a Caveland got to exile? If that is even possible, then go to the Lagoon, Israel or Zambia and do your Cave Empire. Better still, you can join Nnamdi in London. We don't want that nonsense in the East.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo is a socio- cultural organisation and doesn't in anyway represent 'Ndigbo'. All we know is Biafra and Ohanaeze is working with its own agenda and not for Ndigbo.

Disregard all information from Ohanaeze as the group represent its own interest and not Biafra. Biafra is not an Igbo thing and can't not be represented by Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a social cultural organisation.


God bless the republic of Biafra.
