What Catholic Priest told Kanu about IPOB, Nigeria in closed-door meeting

A fiery Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obidimma, after emerging from a closed-door meeting with the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mr. Nnamdi Kanu where he gave his opinion about IPOB’s agitation and Nigeria, warned Kanu that his and IPOB’s latest decision “is like somebody firing gun on his toes.”

The priest also said that “Igbos are clamouring for Biafra but an average Igbo man is selfish in nature, asking whether Ndigbo are matured enough to handle “our affairs.”

After the meeting with the IPOB leaders, the Priest called on Kanu and his supporters, to work for peace. Obidimma, the Parish Priest of Blessed Iwene Tansi, Umudioka, Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra, gave the advice when Kanu led his members on a thank you visit to him on Monday.

The cleric, also the Spiritual Director of Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry in Idemili North Local Government of the state, condemned the group’s no-election campaign in Anambra. He advised them to ensure there was no breech of peace in whatever they do, adding that they should stop the call for disintegration of the country. The priest, who had a closed door meeting with Kanu, told newsmen that he had fruitful discussion with Kanu on issues of general concern and the way forward.

He said he warned Kanu on the campaign to boycott Nov. 18 Anambra governorship election. “For me, it will be more problematic to say that there won’t be any election in Anambra, it is like somebody firing gun on his toes. “Christ came into the world and reincarnated the message of peace and that was why I advised Kanu to uphold peace following the tensions everywhere in the country. Let love lead all that we do. “I advised him to do anything within his power to instill peace, even in their agitation, let there be prudence,” he said.

The cleric expressed support for the restructuring of Nigeria, and criticised the inequity in distribution of the nation’s wealth at the detriment of some sections of the country. “In our country Nigeria, it is certain that there is marginalisation, nepotism and tribalism. “We are one Nigeria but some people are being marginalised and that is why we have all these agitations but in everything, let there be prudence as we also pray for divine intervention. “Igbos are clamouring for Biafra but an average Igbo man is selfish in nature and the question is, how matured are we to handle our affairs.

“Where are the Igbo cabals and stakeholders; like Nnia Nwodo, Peter Obi, Emeka Anyaoku, Ifeanyi Ubah, Prof Charles Soludo, Emmanuel Iwuanwaywu, and many others. “There has to be a unifying umbrella where they will gather and register their protest,” he said.

He thanked God for President Muhammadu Buhari’s safe return and quick recovery, and called on him to look into agitations bedeviling the nation and mindless killings. “We thank God for Buhari’s return and the entire ministry has been praying for his safe return. “Nobody will wish a fellow human being dead but the president should know that Nigerians love him, ” he said.

I expect Nmandi Kanu to pay deaf ears to his advice. That Kanu is digging his own grave, and that of his followers.

every sensible Igbo guy knows that Kanu is just pursuing a shadow.
only the shallow brains will not see Kanu's political undertone. In 2 years time we will here a story like this for the total actualisation of biafra vote for Nnamdi kanu and....that is his fellow scammers. They will try to let you know that they are going to the legislature to make a case, then few will see what i saw some months back the extreme gullible will still go to the poll with him, certainly after 2 years they will then see and read how they were scammed.

T

okay

Fly wey no dey hear word na im dey follow dead body enter grave. Igbo wey no hear word .......

hmmm

As it was in the days of Israelites during the time of Moses so shall it be for the people of Biafra. because what will be 'll surely be and not even Buhari who is making himself Pharaoh of our time can stop it

chai afonja propaganda again..una no deh tire??the other time was that NK said there will be election in Anambra which he shamed you all when he visited ekwulobia ,,now this onechai

Biafra is not in the interest of any Igbo person living or dead ..What we need is a renegotiation of the state of the Union from this reckless arrangement to one that guarantees all parties in the union use the same length of spoon to stir tthemselves broth we call Nigeria ..

The pigs will either call it afonja propaganda and the ones that will accept the news will insult the priest as usual. the ipod criminals lack wisdom and bitterness has covered their toxic brain. If Jesus Christ comes to Nigeria to tell them to stop their biafrau.d nonsense, they will insult him because their biafrau.d agitation is powered by hate from the pit of hell.
