The paramount ruler and Obi of Onitsha in Anambra State, Igwe Alfred Achebe, has condemned the widespread protests by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who are calling for the separation ofthe entire south-east regionfrom Nigeria.The condemnation came on the heels of agitations and protests for Biafra nation across parts of the country, especially as the protesters clamoured for the release of the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who had been in detention since October.Speaking in an interview shortly after his inauguration as the Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, IgweAchebe told the protesters to shelve the idea of secession from the rest of Nigeria.He said that such agitation would only amount to violating the constitution ofthe country and the principles of democracy.The traditional ruler reminded the pro Biafra agitators of the inherent dangers involved in their action, emphasising that Nigeria remained a united and indivisible country irrespective of the numerous challenges.He urged them to channel all their grievances to their elected representatives in the National Assembly for consideration, rather than embarking on violent protests that could result into breakdown of law and order in the region.- TodayNG

like his northern collegues; he supports them secretly and opposes them publicly..

I no believe

ibos don't have kings or respect their elders anyway. This ibo igwe is a mere civil servant and will be insulted by his fellow ibos soon. Watchout!

Per the bolded, I hope this Igwe of a guy is not intellectually handicapped. In fact, the constitution guarantees the freedom of expression. In addition, agitation for self-determination is a vassal of democracy which Nigerian constitution upholds.

These people are really confused oooo

The words of the elders shall never be displaced

Ok

Ibo thread. Waste of data. Am outta here.

Is this an ENDTIME for the IPOB members to go and face their bussiness,when there first class Oba is against who will b for them then,nt an Igbo man but I believe if they wants to leave,they r entitled to that peacefully,meanwhile let me hear what Chinedu and Ebuka my biafra brothers as to say

Their leaders washing off their hand from the so called agitation. As per the advice, let them continue....

Aja to ba fe sonu, koni gbo fere ode

Tell the Obi of Onitcha to sit on his head and wait for me in my house!

-CramJones

Ok

We are republicans

Believe any saboteur at your own peril

Biafra is here

Modified: The Obi is an Old man, in 20 years whose ideology do you think will rule in Biafra Land

The civil war genocide/ saboteur mentality of Old Biafra men of today who will be 80 years old or the Spirit of IPOB Youth who will be in their mid 30s or 40s

Biafra, Bokoharam, OK o

Nonsense. The only thing I condemn is the violence and protest that has been attributed to IPOB. A group of people can decide if they want to be together in a country or not. If Britain agreed for Scotland to have a referendum on independence why should it be denied people in the south east if that's what they want. Give them referendum and if they vote to go it's goodbye Nigeria. I grew up in the North and I saw the hatred Hausas have for Igbos coming on nairaland showed how much hatred some yourubas have for Igbos. If this much hatred exists then it's folly to want to share a country.
I can understand a Ghanian's hatred for a Nigerian, at least they don't share a country but hating on a fellow Nigerian because of tribe is confounding.

The wise ones who saw the war and faced the consequences are speaking peace while these kids who know next to nothing are on the streets spoiling for war. Only because a fraudster who should rot in jail is deceiving them.

Did he just called them barbaric fools

...only he-goats follow nnamdi kanu,who is a well known fraudster

Now that the Obi has also condemned the protests. Na who remain
I really don't care though

Before n ko, do they want a Paramount Ruler as his HRH Achebe to approve of it......the fact remains that every right thinking Igbo believes in the Biafran dream and silently nurture and cherishes this dream. Biafra, whether we like it or not has come to stay and not even 1,000 Buharis can erase that idea

This is why I love the Igbo tribe we don't take or accept nonsense.

During the Niger Delta militancy, the elders kept quiet coz they were the ones pulling the strings.

Northern elders initially kept quiet till Boko Haram issue got out of hand.

But trust us we don't keep quiet and allow miscreants to speak for the entire tribe.
