Boko Haram: Uwazuruike urges Igbo to return home Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) leader Chief Ralph Uwazuruike yesterday reiterated the call for Igbo living in the North to return home. He said Igbos do not want to lose more of their kinsmen to the killings by Boko Haram. During a telephone chat with The Nation, Uwazuruike said the incessant bombing of churches showed that security agencies cannot guarantee the safety of Nigerians living in the North. The Ezeigbo chided the Joint Task Force for not tightening security around churches in Kaduna when it got intelligence reports about an imminent attack. Urging Igbo to leave their businesses and come back home until the situation normalises, he said: “Dead persons are not conscious of their investments. It is only the living that can make money. “Igbo in the North should move their investments back to the East where they can enjoy relative peace without living in fear and anxiety.” Debunking rumours of reprisal plans in the Southeast, Uwazuruike said MASSOB is a non-violent organisation, which upholds the sanctity of life, and would never engage in the senseless killings and destruction that have become the hallmark of the Boko Haram sect. His second-in-command, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, said the crisis in the North is fast degenerating into a religious war and security operatives can no longer guarantee the safety of Igbo in the North. Ezeonwuka described the suicide bombers as religious fanatics, who had been hypnotised by the teachings of mischievous religious teachers. The Ogirishi Igbo said: “It is obvious that the targets of the bombing are churches and Christian dominated parts of the North, so it is foolhardy for Igbo to remain there and be slaughtered like fowls on a daily basis. The wise thing to do in the face of the security situation is to leave the North.” Ndigbo living in Kano have expressed their readiness to return home. They said they have been living in fear since the Boko Haram insurgency began. The President-General of Ndigbo in Kano, Chief Leonard Nwosu, said Igbo have become the major target of Boko Haram attacks in northern states. He said: “The call for the evacuation of Igbo is sincere and precautionary, and we will abide by it. We stayed back in Kano because we thought the situation would improve, but it is getting worse by the day.” Chairman of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) in the Southeast Dr. Chike Obidigbo said the Boko Haram insurgency is not only claiming the lives of Igbo, but their businesses as well. Decrying the inability of the Federal Government to tackle the crisis, Obidigbo said it is worrisome that a “bunch of felons” are holding the nation to ransom. He said: “While it is common to see nationals from Niger, Mali, Cameroun and other countries set up flourishing businesses in the North, it is unfortunate that Igbo are haunted after they have helped to develop economic and social activities there. “To worsen matters, nobody is speaking for Ndigbo. Some of our governors have been weakened by their political ambitions and others owe allegiance to interests outside the Igbo nation. “This is the right time for Igbos to build a synergy with the Yoruba. The North has become too harsh for Igbo and their businesses. We need a rethink of this Nigeria project.” http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/51021-boko-haram-uwazuruike-urges-igbo-to-return-home.html |

Were they not "urged" to return home during the election fiasco? Did they not go back up North? Abeg, ppl value money more than life. In this economy, where are they going to find jobs? Damned if they go home. Damned if they don't. 7 Likes |

I think what some people have forgotten is that there are more than three tribes in Nigeria. The north is not made up of only Hausas/Ibos/Yorubas and besides I see Uwazurike's call as very unreasonable. It's easy to ask people to leave the north but it's not practical. So many southerners have already been established up there for a loooong time now. People have come and had families, businesses, built houses (life is cheaper up there) and soo many other things. You can't just pack and leave all what you have been doing for decades now u know. Will Uwazurike provide jobs for the relocating families or schools for the kids or even houses for them. It's not as simple as people see it and believe me Nigerians have become more inter-woven with each other such that a separation of this nation can only be mentioned on paper.Think about all the different inter-tribal marriages that have happened between Southerners and people from Tribes like Idoma, Igala,Jukun, Tiv,natives of Jos, Gombe,, Bauchi, Niger and a lot other people. Uwazurike and many other people are treating this case as if it was just black and white, which is just wrong. 3 Likes |

Anyone who cannot defend himself, and his investment should heed the call. Those who can may stay. Certainly, not every Igbo will come back home, even if war breaks out.
