TO chart a common front for Igbo people, irrespective of political, religious and other affiliations, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo will hold Igbo unity day and cultural festival in Lagos. Igbo Chiefs Billed for the National Stadium, Lagos, on November 26, the event is expected to attract governors of the five South-East states and those of Delta and Rivers that have Igbo-speaking people.


Speaking on the ceremony, members of the publicity committee led by Mr Ejike Metu, during a visit to the Lagos head office of Vanguard Newspapers, last week, said it is to ‘’bring Igbo together to show our culture, tradition, forge unity and promote speaking of the Igbo language to ensure it does not go into extinction.’’ “Igbos are disunited.

We want to be together and end disunity and start speaking with one voice,’’ said Metu. Meanwhile, as the carnival, tagged ‘Ndigbo Unity Rally’ holds, the Chairman of the Planning Committee, Chief Tobechukwu Ezeani has said the the rally “is propelled by consensus among all Igbos in Lagos and the diaspora that our spectacular cultural diversities must be harnessed as a showpiece of our strength in unity, and speed through oneness.”

Chief Ezeani, who emphasised that “our heritage as a people is among the world’s finest, said his committee is working in concert with top Igbo business entrepreneurs, the intelligentsia, town unions, and market associations to renew and revive our best today for a bigger tomorrow.


” A key driver of the initiative, Chief Nnamdi Nwigwe noted that in the determination of the committee to make huge success of this Unity Project, massive sensitizations and deliberate re-approachments are on to mend fences, restore handshakes and put ruffled feathers at ease because the benefits of selfless accommodation far outweighs rampant outdated animosities.

see how you guys are turning Igbo thread to our president matter. If Igbos could lean the act of charting a common course for once, the Better for them, but Ambode should make sure Ipob, "African mistake" and anything Biafra is not table in Lagos without reporting to Abj for appropriate action.but anything "unity"for them or the nation is welcomed

Another plus for Yorubaland!

These leaders have been preaching sermon to their followers to return home but here they are shamelessly calling all Igbos to go to Lagos for a unity gathering.

How will the followers take the return home message serious? How do you make Biafra happen when all the minimums needed to weave the structure on which to erect your new nation is squandered away in other people's land?

I agree with people that label Igbo as a clown race.

basilo102:

why are you scared of IPOB and why do you want to make the thread IPOB thread?? Biafra is being discussed all over the world, it will be discussed in Lagos even Ogbomoso. Abuja should go and answer Amnesty international

Except you take Ambode for granted. but remember TInubu who dealt with masob in 2002 (A football mach meant to intimidate his state) is still in charge o!

Igbo is not a clown race! I am proud of my igbo identity because being igbo is not a burden just as l believe others from other ethnic settings have a right to be proud of their identities...no one is a lesser man based on where God has chosen him to come from.
