he Niger State Chapter of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has disassociated itself from the ongoing agitation in some parts of Nigeria for the actualisation of Biafra nation.



They claimed to be leaving peacefully with their host communities in the state.

The association made their stand known in Minna during visit to the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigerian Union of journalists (NUJ) Niger State. They were led by the President of the State’s chapter, Mr Ezeugo Emmanuel, who stated that Igbos were peace loving people and must be appreciated.

Mr Emmanuel further revealed that his people would continue to be friendly and leave in peace with other tribes in the nation.

The President urged the Federal Government to avoid the use of force on the agitators, maintaining that through dialogue, the issue could be resolved amicably. He pleaded for sustainable peace in Nigeria.

He intimated that the chapter had concluded plans to organise its 2015 summit in Suleja on December 12, 2015, with the theme: Udo’s Organiru Na Ako N’ Uche (Peace, Progress and Tact), under the chairmanship of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu, and a host of other prominent Nigerians.

The fear of northerners is the begining of compromise.

better people.

I have said before and I will repeat it here
There are countless sensible well-meaning Igbos out there!
I have dealing with many of them on a daily basis
Forget the jobless IPOB miscreants

It is allowed you can be Nigeria others are Biafrans what's the big deal?

some people wont just listen!!!!

My dear Igbos in the North, preaching one nigeria will not stop the namas you're living with from killing u when the die is cast because the word reasoning does not exist in their dictionary.

Free Nnamdi Kanu

You cannot defeat an idea whose time has come. You defeat idea with a better idea. Till then, there won't be any realistic chance of stopping the Biafra movement. I guess Buhari is not so daft to understand that. Killing of 1 million people 45 yrs ago could not bury the idea. Maybe Buhari thinks that genocide can. Those Lagos-Ibadan press cheering him to use arm to subdue the protesters will be the first to abandon him when he's placed at Hague after many years of protracted civil war. Government should handle this with care.

Peace is the key to prograss, this is d kind Association we want, protest can never give peace it can rather worsn d mata

I have never seen that man either with crown or walking forming igwe unlike those in the southwest.

Where's PMB to address the nation? Southy babes on Bubu's mind.

that's will still not make them safe from the hand of boko haram

Me too, I want to leave in peace.
