Lagos — Following palpable fear of crisis and alleged tension generated by unguarded statements by some politicians, over the coming general elections, an Igbo leader and royal father, Eze Fred Nwajagu, has called upon Ndigbo in diaspora to diversify their investments and move home wards.

Nwajagu, who is the current Eze Igbo of Ajao Estate, Lagos, spoke to our correspondent at the investiture of patrons by the Igbo Global Initiative (IGI), held in Lagos.

According to him, "Non-diversification of investments by Igbo sons and daughters resulted to the colossal loss of properties by Ndigbo shortly after the unfortunate civil war, whereby the then senator David Mark-led committee classed all properties left behind by Ndigbo who had escaped for safety to Igbo land, as abandoned properties.

The royal father, who is also the founder of IGI, regretted what he described the "hitting up of the polity by some unpatriotic do-or-die politicians".

He urged Ndigbo not to be intimidated in exercising their civic responsibility, but should vote according to their conscience.

While counselling Ndigbo in Lagos against embarking on mass exodus, to the East during the elections, Nwajagu also appealed to them not to carry all their eggs in one basket, but should invest in Igbo land to avoid regrets.

[i]"The Igbo are known to be developers of cities where ever they go, [/i]but great injustices and some ugly experiences in the past is a pointer that Ndigbo must remember their home land while investing outside.

The abandoned property saga should be a good lesson to all Igbo resident outside the Igbo land to diversify their investment, so that in event of any such situation, they will have something to fall back on.

Also, diversification of investment to the Igbo land will help in developing the our home, he advised.

Earliar, IGI secretary, Deacon Maxwell Iwuchukwu had, while commending the efforts of Mike Umeh Udemba, stated that the NGO was borne out of the need to fight injustices against Ndigbo world wide, as well as to support any government that is development oriented.
