Dave Umahi: IPOB Can’t Speak For Igbo People by valentineuwakwe(m): 1:09am On Nov 11, 2020
Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, has declared that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, cannot speak for the people of the southeast.

Umahi, who is the Chairman of the South East Governors’ Forum, said IPOB can’t represent the interest of the Ndigbo.

He spoke during a visit of Southeast governors to their counterpart in Rivers State, Nyesom Wike in Port Harcourt.

According to Wike: “We, Ndigbo, we do not support criminalities. Do not buy into any criminal that is from our side. I find it very funny when somebody is going to be claiming that part of Benue State must descend into his territory and part of Rivers State must descend into his territory. What sort of madness is that?

“Even if there is a referendum, people must freely say where they want to belong to. You can’t force them. No matter the history you have, you can’t force people to belong to where you want them to belong. They want to belong to where they want to belong.


“Why I am telling you this is that we should be wise not to support what is wrong. Let’s go back and tell ourselves the truth. What is happening cannot be said to be for Ndigbo. Those people are not speaking for us. What are you agitating for and you are destroying the properties of Ndigbo? Won’t that tell you that they are looking for something?”

Members of IPOB had allegedly engaged security operatives, a situation that led to the killing of people in a place like Obigbo, Rivers State.

I will advise you to repent now before it becomes too late for you.
The people has suffered too much in the hands of your leadership,
Stop destroying the lives you are supposed to protect,
Fulanisation agenda is not for your good no matter the time it reaches you, remember solo wiwa ( nwaiwa)

That's one sensible Igbo man there. Only the wise would know the damage Igbos are doing to the Igbos reputation, as well as their seemingly elusive quest for Biafra.

Ndigbos don't want Biafra , only some frustrated jobless and brainwashed criminals wants Biafra.

Even nnamdi cownu the IndecentStar doesnt want Biafra, he is just using his gullible stupid followers to catch cruise.

Oh, shush it!

No sensible person should be glad to stay in a failed state, unless he is part of the problem

Every separatist group has a genuine reason to call for secession because Nigeria is an embarrassment to sensible Nigerians

Igbos are Igbos same way boko haram are northerners. They are killers and they killed many Muslims during the last protests. Even mosque was destroyed.

May all of these terrorist Igbos, Boko Haram, Bandits, etc meet their doom if they don't repent.

Ipob are a sick depraved group of terrorists. They seek to provoke inter ethnic conflict in Nigeria by attacking people of other ethnic nationalities to attract repraisals.

Ipob are like your envious village People who cannot bring you down by witchcraft but will create problems in their miserable dwelling that may consume you miles away.

Why I lean towards the Biafran ideology completely and support my brothers to get their heart desire, Biafra.


I'm glad an Ndigbo went on ground observed things first hand and dare to speak the truth.


Yes, I chastised IPOB for causing mayhem in Oyigbo and coming out to declare false narratives, but I still continue to declare my support for the Biafran ideology and believe it will see the light of the day.


IPOB has some advantages, if the igbos are attacked and IPOB launches a counter attack to fight against Ndigbo interest, that is considered good, laudable and brave, but to launch series of unprovoked attacks strategically targeted at triggering a bigger fight wasn't just unstrtaegic but stvpid. To then turn back and try to spin lies on people and twisting the narratives wasn't even more foolish


IPOB is fully responsible for the situationship at Oyigbo and I greet the leaders of Ndigbo land, the governors and Ohaneze for the bold move and uncovering the root cause of issues first hand.

Who is the leader of Igbos

Each region has its own Godfather. Ex governor of lagos state Bola Tinibu is said to be Godfather in of lagos and Osun state.The people obey him . When he sneezes,the people catches cold. Whomever he annoites win the election. He controls the state assembly, state tax system, transport system and Agberos . Whoever disagrees with Tinibu disagrees is an enemy of the state.

Chief Saraki was a strong political heavy weight in Kwara state. His son Dr Bukola Saraki benefited from his dad dynasty. His daughter was a senator. His fall out with the APC government marked the begining of the downfall of the Saraki Dynasty. The people were tired of one family dictatorship. They wanted a new face.

Among the Igbos, It is difficult single out one Godfather. In

True. But virtually all Igbos on NL are Igbos.

Some of them will say they are not in support but will still go ahead to like any post in support of Ipob. lol

You are absolutely right, mazi Umahi.

But this is half truth.

IPOB leadership and their irritating followers knows that they ARE NOT SPEAKING and CANNOT speak for Igbo people.

Neither CAN you, mazi Dave nwa Umahi or your fellow self deluded governors SPEAK for the Igbo people.
