THE Catholic Archbishop of the Owerri Archdiocese,
Dr. Anthony Obinna has opened up on why he
joined the protesting members of the Indigenous
Peoples of Biafra, IPOB and the Movement for the
Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB
during a procession to mark the Nigeria-Biafra civil
war anniversary earlier this week.
In an interview with Saturday Sun , the Archbishop
said “what happened on that day was that we were
on our way to Anambra State for the burial of one
of the Reverend Sisters when we saw members of
IPOB and MASSOB and they made way for us to
move on. But on our way back near Nkpor, the
protesting youths barred us from passing. But after
several minutes when the protesting youths would
not allow us continue our journey to Owerri, as a
spiritual leader I had to come out of the vehicle
and appealed to them that what they were doing
was unnecessary as there are better ways to
channel their grievances rather than destroying
their own homes.”
He further disclosed that “I counseled the
protesters that they cannot achieve Biafra through
violence or by killing anybody but through dia­
logue and that a wise man does not bring
destruction to his homestead. I reminded them
that we have already witnessed the unnecessary
deaths of some youths including men and women
in the cause of the agitation for Biafra.”
While noting that violence will never solve any
problem, the priest stated that “the death of any
Nigerian is not good, whether the person is Hausa-
Fulani , Yoruba, Igbo or Tiv and should not be
tolerated in whatever guise, and so it is incumbent
on the leaders of the country to fashion out an
amicable solution that will ensure peace and
harmony because we have no other country but
Nigeria.
Urging President Buhari to work hard and unite the
country, Obinna said “the political leaders of the
country should have the will power to address the
concerns of citizens with sincerity and honesty
because nobody wants the break up of the country.
Every nation has its own peculiar problem but how
the problems are addressed is what makes the dif­
ference.

We live in the present not the past. If you are concerned about the past, invent a time machine and go back to ask Zik, who is a hated figure in Igboland, why he believed in 'one Nigeria'. After that you can then go and ask Gowon why he came down to the East to kill 3 million people who were enjoying their freedom.

you should invent the time machine,so as to save 3million of your dead ancestors.
do I look I care about what perception you have of zik,all I know is that he responsible for the useless country Nigeria with his Hausa friends.

the madness you speak about belongs to zik and his fellow nationalist ibos,after witnessing the kano massacre, he still foolishly voted to form a country with the same Hausa and Yoruba who never wanted to be part of a united country.
I just hope they didn't pass the madness down to their descendants accusing Yoruba on nl for their imprisonment.

If u think ipob have no support.... Please
Tell FG TO CONDUCT A REFERENDUM.... De result will blow ur mind...


Referendum is all I ask!!!
Mr banner u can ban me...

Anyone holding you guys?

The last time we checked, you people are not dragged with chain on your neck to come to the SW or the North.
Has anyone also stopped you from leaving Nigeria?

Who is holding you back? Your medications not kicking in? Feelings of delusion?

lie lie iPods lie lie ipods

To believe that commemorating biafra heroes day is synonymous to destroying properties, is the height of deception.
Same event was held in the uk and spain and nothing went wrong.
