Onyeka Nwelue Blasts IPOB Agitators,Says IPOB Is A Long Rope(photos) by broseme: 9:32pm On Jul 20, 2016
Guys take your time and read this.By the way the writer,Onyeka Nwelue,is someone I respect so much.
He is also the son of Music ICON Onyeka Onwenu.Below is what he wrote about Biafra.....




Enjoy I am still going to write about this, even though we had a chat over it last night and I felt cool with him, but I have to write this here for reasons you will find out later. Before I write this, I want to make this clear that I am not in support of the quest for Biafra or its sovereignty. I must say that if anyone wants Biafra, he should be able to outline what we have in stock for a new nation: leaders and leadership scale. All these strategies need to be shown before I can show my support for it. Not like my support is needed.

This young man's name is Khalifa Usman Mustapha. He's from the office of the SA to the President on Youth and Student Affairs.

Yesterday, at Transcorp Hilton, the High Commission of South Africa organised events to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Soweto Uprising which happened in 1976. Mrs Matheko Badana, who is 35 years and was born years after the Uprising, during her talk, said that she learnt about it in school, to be able to make projections for the future. The Uprising never repeated itself. But here, the war is about to repeat itself because we don't discuss the Biafran war. Pundits even argued that Biyi Bandele's Half of a Yellow Sun film was going to start war. Instead, it was going to start a healthy debate, but everyone ignored that aspect. Nigerians are in denial.

I am still disappointed in Khalifa Usman Mustapha, because he is not articulate and bright as he should be. He should have read about the war, he should have listened to stories about the war. That not anyone who wants to talk about Biafra is, in his own words, 'agitating for Biafra.' I am not agitating for Biafra. I have so many things to do with my life. Biafra is a long rope.

These were the pertinent questions I asked Khalifa as a representative of the Establishment yesterday using Mrs Badana's experience: "They teach about the Soweto Uprising in universities and colleges and schools in South Africa. Why can't we teach about the Biafran war in schools? What are we doing about it?"

Before answering my question, someone gave Khalifa a piece of paper which had details of the year the war happened. And he, dumbly, he started it like that. He actually said, "The war happened in 1967 and there is agitation of Biafra now. It is not the mandate of the government to discuss such issue."

The moderator, Professor Battery, intentionally tried to sideline me and move on with events, making sure that the Biafran issue was never raised, for which he apologised later during lunch. I still had to raise my voice to tell them that my question was not answered and the hall went quiet.

Khalifa gave a very unintelligent answer. He said: "It is not the mandate of the government to discuss Biafra." I walked out of the hall in protest.

I understand later that someone, on that panel, explained the question to him. And that was when I realised that I know why old people will never take us seriously in this country.

Khalifa's unintelligent response did not come from the fact that he is 25 years old. It is because he has refused to read. He has refused to engage in intellectual discourses happening every day. Khalifa is a true representation of the young Nigerian: he wants to be empowered, but he doesn't want to empower himself. I am worried about the future of Nigeria, because it is so bleak. I am worried about the young people all getting depressed every day because of the systemic failure of the nation to make life better for its citizenry, but people like Khalifa, even though we have made up and laughed, should resign from their positions for situations like this. I know he will keep his job and continue misrepresenting his office, but this is how we will continue bringing out half-baked brains.

I am sorry I had to sound like this, Mr. Khalifa. I did not mean any disrespect and I do not want to be your friend. You're not worth it!

No one is stopping you from uprooting your houses and 2x2 shops back to Biafra. You may reapply for visa in a Yoruba country.

Whose telling you not to thrive? Congratulations.


@ YorubaFynest

In Europe the government offer free modern housing with all amenity.

They offer free health care. They offer free education. Free prescription.

Free Travel, they offer you weekly/monthly benefit payment

Wat does Lagos offer to the people that contribute to the igr?

Lagos only takes, so people like u need to keep mute.

Later you'll say someone is holding you back.

Sometimes this type of "unity" doesn't work when one side is giving and giving and the other side offers nothing; BREXIT.

No one is stopping you from applying for visa for Yorubaland and to live under Yoruba law and order.

Please don't make noise about contributing to Lagos's IGR. Your 2x2 corner shops doesn't even add up to 5% of Lagos' IGR.

If you think otherwise, start moving your trading shops to the SE. Lagos will still soar.

Y yorubaland? Y not Gabon? Is yorubaland more prosperous than Gabon?

Our shops are in Lagos at the expense of not being in the East.

Dont u think our Central bank will benefit from those businesses in Biafra?

Also, before he was arrested, Nnamdi Kanu, not only claimed that he had the support and backing of 88 countries through the Radio Biafra, but also that the zoo would fall if he is arrested, but where is he today?

IPOB has been releasing a lot of lies to misinformed Igbos and have been
deceiving them through its pirate radio to
believe that they are employing professionals
around the world that will ensure the speedy
achievement of the Biafran state.

This is why many Igbos are paying monthly dues to the ridiculous association and thereby enriching Nnamdi Kanu and other IPOB executives.

WHAT A FRAUD!

No wonder why many address them as
Biafrauds.

If one had followed Nnamdi Kanu closely before he was arrested, one would think that he chats with Obama every other hour, yet his arrest and events after this have showed that him as merely seeking to cash in on the sentiments of his Igbo brothers over the loss of former President Jonathan at the poll in order to cause confusion and threaten the peace of the land, with the hope of getting some payment from government.

@ YorubaFynest is dat u up there?

It is Nigeria that should leave Biafra land.

We have requested a referendum.

If Nigeria will not give us a referendum, then they should respect the rights to protest Nigeria occupation of our Ancestral Land.

Just 4 ur information all igbos are not in Lagos. Just so u are careful about the person u ask to leave west. I dont live or do business in Lagos.
