What I don’t like about Nnamdi Kanu’s agitation – Ojukwu’s son

nigerianeye.com Aug 27, 2017 12:52 PM

Emeka Ojukwu Jr., a legal practitioner and son of Igbo leader, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, has said that the only thing he holds against Nnamdi Kanu’s agitation for the actualization of Biafra, is “their methodology”.


Speaking to Punch, Ojukwu Jr., admitted that the agitation by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by Kanu and The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), was “valid”.

He however warned against hate speech, which could lead to “bad consequences”.

“The agitation of IPOB and MASSOB is a valid agitation. The only thing I hold against them is their methodology. But for somebody to fight for self-determination I do not see anything wrong in that. It is like a marriage; there are times the situation will be rosy and pleasant, there are times there will be some upheavals.

“So, we must give room for those things. No one should say those boys shouldn’t talk. They are allowed to talk. But what I am against or what I frown on is their taking over the road because when it comes to roads, there is what we call “access.”

“If a Yoruba man wants to go to Port Harcourt (Rivers State) or Aba (Abia State), you should not try to block the road, saying you want to vent your spleen because of some certain grievances. You’re obstructing him and if you succeed in doing that, you’re proving that there is no government and there is insecurity.
“If there is a need to demonstrate or do whatever, then they should go to a stadium, book the venue, go to the police to get a public permit to hold a demonstration and you can all stay in the stadium, have (a protest by) candlelight and get the media to cover the protest – that’s enough of a message to pass across to the world.
“It is better than recruiting a group of young children from the universities, indoctrinating them and pushing them to get on the roads to do whatever they think they like; acting that way doesn’t help anybody. Their agitation must be devoid of violence.

“Any agitation must be devoid of hate speech. The reality is that nobody has a monopoly of hate speech. Everybody should be civil in relating with their fellow men. We must eschew hate speech to avoid bad consequences,” Ojukwu Jr. said.​

Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB definitely have the wrong approach but it's only that approach that can work or atleast gain traction.

He is on his own.

when your father (Ojukwu) failed to actualise his dream he surrender. But this little rat has taken a step too far from the national red line. Soon he will regret his actions.

Everyone seems to have an opinion of a better means to achieving Biafra, but no-one is doing anything as an alternative to ipob. All we see and hear is criticism.

What do you expect before ?

Expecting an IPOB YOOT to reason with cogent points and facts devoid of insults and Afonja name-calling is like expecting snow to rain in hell.

The best approach is to hold seminars that would never yield any result.

Present a functional alternative to ipob and see if people will not follow you.

One very important alternative is never to insult people with dissenting views because you're chasing away potential supporters without knowing it.

So IPOB did not see the Scots, Catalonians to copy?

The Scots made use of the provisions of the British laws and they got a referendum.

IPOB should pester Igbo lawmakers in the NA to move motions for provision for referendum in the 1999 constitution.

Then other Nigerians will take them serious.
