Igbo Leaders Plan To Meet Pres. Buhari On The Marginalization Of Igbos by techskulz(m): 5:06am On Nov 23, 2015

South East Governors Forum, SEGF, summoned Igbo leaders yesterday to discuss the security implications of the agitations by members of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, and the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Enugu state.
The leaders agreed to set up a delegation of Igbo elders to meet President Muhammadu Buhari on the marginalisation of Igbos in the country.

They also agreed to talk with members of the MASSOB and IPOB groups in order to discourage them from having any more protests.

However, the two factions of Ohanaeze were not invited to the meeting because the governors reasoned that inviting any of them would mean legitimising such faction.

A four-point communique read by Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, at the end of the meeting on behalf of his colleagues read:
“We agreed that south-east governors should set up a committee to immediately address the impasse on Ohanaeze leadership. After a compassionate review of the recent MASSOB/IPOB agitations in the country, it was resolved that a committee be set up to dialogue with MASSOB,IPOB as well as the Federal Government with a view to finding a lasting solution to the issue.
“The elders also examined other issues including poor state of infrastructural facilities in the south-east, marginalization in federal appointments and other socio-economic issues that impact on the economic development of the south-east and resolved to support the decision of south-east governors to set up an economic council and urged them to interface with the Federal Government on remedial measures. A delegation of elders of the south-east was mandated to meet with the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Governor Lawrence Ifeanyi Ugwanyi of Enugu State, said the meeting was a follow up to the earlier meeting of the South- East governors on November 17.
He said:
The meeting is a follow up to the meeting of the SEGF that we held last Tuesday, November 17, 2015, in this venue during which we reached the following resolutions on some issues affecting us as a zone; To appoint a high level Economic Advisory Committee to harness the economic potentials of the people of the South East working together. The governors are concerned about the poor state of the Federal Government roads in the zone namely the Enugu – Onitsha, Aba- Ikot Ekpene , Owerri – Port Harcourt, Enugu – Port Harcourt, among others which need urgent intervention by the Federal Government.
“On security, the issue of MASSOB/ IPOB, was discussed and they resolved to consult widely with Ohanaeze (Ndigbo), traditional rulers, development unions, clergy, and other stakeholders on how to ensure lasting peace in the zone. In furtherance to this, the South East Governors scheduled an emergency meeting of stakeholders on Sunday, November 22, 2015, (yesterday) at Enugu.

“Attendance to the emergency meeting includes all National Assembly members, all honourable ministers and other invited stakeholders from the zone. The governors advised MASSOB/IPOB to continue to toe the line of peace as this is the only way to ensure economic development of the zone. We are therefore, here to discuss matters arising from these resolutions and other issues that are of interest to the zone. We ask God to guide and direct our thoughts as we go through this function and I wish us all, happy and fruitful deliberations.

Tell em we are out. FG doesn't trust us neither do we trust em. Who is gonna wait? We are 5% in Nigeria and 100% United State of Biafra. Where do ya think our bread is buttered, Nigeria or Biafra?


They aren't meeting him for true federalism or restructuring that would have relaxed us. We can't but lol on ya Governors. The difference between 5% and 100% is 95% which is a big gap. With true federalism, we will be equal with our country men.


We the Biafrans hereby term the meeting hocus-pocus.

If I had the power, I will "jejely" carve out Biafra from Nigeria and allow them go in peace.

I am sick and tired of their victim mentality even though they're not the most marginalized people in Nigeria. Is there any region that has not shouted of marginalization at one time or the other in the country's history? Did any of them ever clamor for secession?

The NC has been marginalized from time immemorial. The SS (untill GEJ) was marginalized. Under GEJ, the Yorubas cried of being marginalized. It was under the same GEJ that the Igbos were in charge of the nation's economy. Then, they couldn't have talked of marginalization but now that they've realized they may not get the presidency without aligning with the Hausas and Yorubas they hate so much, suddenly they cry of being marginalized? If we may ask, how is the Igbo tribe being marginalized under PMB?

Igbos use the word MARGINALIZATION loosely and when it suit their narrative. But in the true sense of the word, nobody is marginalizing Igbos
Because they hate the President so much, they also assumes that he hates them so much, but the truth is that so far the President has been fair in all his doings.

First time these pot bellies are making sense. I am a full bloodied Igbo man, from Isiokpo, Ideator North. I wholeheartedly believe that dialogue is the way forward. We should now discuss issues that we want dialogued which will include:

1. Upgrading of all SE airports into INTL standard.

2. Construction of all SE federal roads.

3. SEA port in Onitsha

4. Release our son and brother Nnamdi Kanu

5. etc.

All of the above and more are non negotiable.

But because this stakeholders stuff is led by Rochas, I just dont trust him.

Cheers

why did the fg stop second Niger bridge.

Why has the fg deliberately ignored federal roads, even GEJ gave out monies to get them fixed.

Why has the fg sit on contracts like sea port in onitsha that GEJ had started their negotiations

GEJ distributed fertilizers for the first time for agriculture, why has this admin stop the distribution?

Why can't igbos have radio Biafra when the north has bbc Hausa?

Why would the Yorubas call on all igbos to leave Lagos, their oba wish upon them mass genocide and arewa youth do same in the north but when igbos demand their own country, it's termed treason?

Fg made $200b from the se non oil sector but have refused to spend some of the money on the se?

The Biafran call started a long time ago, but GEJ followed it up with wisdom...so did yaradua who started dredging of the river Niger after the Biafran demand

Answer me these first before we can talk.

Did u hear Oyegun speak the other about how Igbos gathered their eggs in one basket ? Buhari's 5/97 percent comment ?

Where is that ever done in a democratical setting ? Once elected, u don't rule based on what votes u got as it's the voter's right to vote their choice. In an ideal democratic setting, such statements shoul ahve made him step down from that seat as he is not ready to rule but came to revenge.




Passingshot, u don't need to wish u have the power to carve out Biafra. This isn't about marginalization, Biafra has gone beyond receiving compensation to keep calm. Restructring might not even work again. Sthing bigger is going to happen in Nigeria. If the way of peace is not pursued by FG herself, i doubt there won't be bloodshed. I repeat, FG should stop being fooled about her military might and see beyond unarmed civilians protesting in the streets.

Do you have evidence that the FG has completely stopped the bridge as a matter of policy? The last time I read about it, the halt is is temporary, for re-evalution and possibly re-negotiation of the contract.

Why has the fg deliberately ignored federal roads, even GEJ gave out monies to get them fixed.
Which federal roads are you referring to? Pls forget about GEJ now because it's obvious he didn't do much in his five years. If he did, those Eastern roads and the Niger Bridge would have been completed even before his exit.

Why has the fg sit on contracts like sea port in onitsha that GEJ had started their negotiations
Do you have evidence for your claim? Imagine what you're saying! So, GEJ could only start the negotiation in five years and you're accusing a six month presidency of not doing anything on the sea port already. Pls say something more rational.

GEJ distributed fertilizers for the first time for agriculture, why has this admin stop the distribution?
Again, any evidence of complete discontinuation of this claim?

Why can't igbos have radio Biafra when the north has bbc Hausa?
Don't be economical with the truth. BBC Hausa is owned and run by BBC News. Besides, the problem with RadioBiafra is the campaign of hate and preaching of violence against a section of the country and the FG and every sane person knows this. Stop the victim mentality already!

Why would the Yorubas call on all igbos to leave Lagos, their oba wish upon them mass genocide and arewa youth do same in the north but when igbos demand their own country, it's termed treason?
When the Oba erred, he was called to order by many prominent Yorubas and the Oba himself apologized. Nevertheless, the Igbos are guilty of being aggressive and formenting trouble with their host communities. Evidences of this abounds aplenty.

Fg made $200b from the se non oil sector but have refused to spend some of the money on the se?

FG made $200bn from SE under which regime? Buhari or Jonathan?
Your confrontation with PMB's regime started almost immediately he was sworn in. He had not even settled down by the time the campaign oaf hate and secession through Radiobiafra started and you at the same time expect him to do magic to assuage your feelings within the six months of his,presidency despite that you've not given him any chance.

The fact is you guys hate him with passion perhaps for his taking part in the civil war. Unfortunately, you have failed yo realize that your strategy is alienating you further. Please continue your protesting and let's see where it takes you. Though I sincerely wish we go our separate ways.

What else was expected? I said it before the meeting even started. After all the noise about Buhari being an illiterate old H/Fulani man, Ndigbo are now swallowing their vomit and struggling to serve his government.

It is now proven that Ibos can never survive in the opposition, covetousness and greed won't let them. Why don't they struggle for appointments from the PDP that they blindly gave all their votes to? Shameless.

When GEJ kept the SW out of his government, they restrategized and made their way back into political relevance instead of resorting to begging and blackmail.

Principle-less Any Government In Power practitioners.


QuotaSystem:

The best that can come out of this meeting is a veiled apology to President Buhari and a humble request for more appointments....or a firm reprimand to their children in IPOB to stop frustrating the SE's efforts to develop and embrace One Nigeria.

The way you people set yourselves up for heartbreak is just amazing.

Justice and Equality is not where Ibos through Ironsi restructured the existing federalism over 50 years ago when nothing was wrong with it because it favored them, and then now want to restructure the existing structure again suddenly because it doesn't favour them out of their poor political calculations.

That is pure INJUSTICE and INEQUALITY to other Nigerians and we are not silly to let that happen as you can see.

Politics has always being about manipulation one way or the other. The Igbos had their chances but failed to seize them because of hatred for a man. Had they voted for Buhari/Okadigbo or Buhari/Ume-Ezeoke in 2003 or 2007, they could have produced the president. But they despised him so much that the man had to look SW. So, whose fault?
