Biafra: We are one – Ikpeazu says as he receives northern colleagues
dailypost.ng

Okezie Ikpeazu, Governor of Abia State on Monday received five of his colleagues from the northern part of the country.

While addressing them inside the executive chamber of the government house, Umuahia, Ikpeazu said, “we won’t allow an infinitesimal few to separate us”.

He said when the crisis started, he asked himself, “in my shoes, what will my brother Tambuwal do?”

Ikpeazu expressed gratitude to the northern delegation for coming to show solidarity with the people of Abia.

The governors, who visited the state were Kashim Shettima (Borno), Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Aminu Masari (Katsina), Simon Lalong (Plateau) and Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi).

Earlier, Shettima, who is chairman of the northern governors’ forum, said the delegation had earlier met Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers.

He appealed to the people of the south-east zone to have faith in a united and indivisible Nigeria.

“On behalf of northern governors’ forum, we are here to commend Governor Ikpeazu on his high-quality leadership in handling the crisis in Abia.

“He rose to the occasion and declared a curfew in Aba just as Governor Lalong also declared a curfew in Jos to avert a reprisal attack on the Igbo.

“We are here to show solidarity. We have a moral obligation to ensure that Nigeria remains one. Nigeria is the largest conglomeration of black people in Africa and we cannot afford to separate.

“If the nation disintegrates, where will we go? North is the Sahara desert and Chad cannot contain us. If we go south, it is the Atlantic Ocean. South is too small for us and the mountains of East Africa with their so many challenges cannot accommodate us,”‎ he said.

Shettima said Nigeria had come a long way as a nation with rich diversities, hence, the need to sustain the country’s unity.

He said it was in the interest of all Nigerians to stay together and work to build a strong united nation.

“We are here to remind Nigerians that we are better as one. We are here to also invite our south-east colleagues to also come to the flashpoints of the north to speak to NdiIgbo living in the north,” he said.

It is easy to say "we are one"....when you are still receiving state allocation and stealing it to make yourselves rich...

You will soon shout " we are divided" when reality sets in and you no longer have access to the funds that is now affecting your thinking capacity.... undecided

Nigeria should not be Tower of Babel at the Behest of the Caliphate.
The 36 States are as much Legal Entities as one Nigeria.
Let us organise to teach ourselves how to fish so we can swallow the business of fishing hook, line and sinker.
Let us join hands to develop the 36 states as Productivity, Costs and Incomes States Centres of Excellence. Let them contribute to the Centre rather than expect stipends.

What should Tambuwal have done?
So,that's what you will tell the people that lost loved ones abi?
Your case should be treated at Shiloh,let me leave you for now!

Be that as it may,I will speak from a political angle,all of them know in their hearts they are deceiving themselves and think they are doing me.

But its good that peace and normalcy have returned,
In all of these speeches,am looking for condolences for lost ones,I haven't seen.
Even in war,'collateral damages' are exhorted,what I see are an elite few who try to make consensus on what makes them ejaculate comfortably.

"There is just so much hurt, disappointment, and oppression one can take... The line between reason and madness grows thinner." (R.P)

Actual Peace must return when there is Justice,it is important that all parties know this.

[qoute] While addressing them inside the executive chamber of the government house, Umuahia, Ikpeazu said, “we won’t allow an infinitesimal few to separate us”. [/quote]

As I check my dictionary infinitesimal means [qoute] An indefinitely small quantity, or a value approaching zero [/quote]

Meaning nmandi kanu and his minions are very small in number to destabilize the great Igbo's

well done ikpaezu we would soon give you a title in Hausaland as we give okoracha

Kanu is a politician hiding in the name of freedom fighter

Ephraim Adiele Once upon a time, 16 years after the Zoo returned to civil rule, there lived a terrorist named Mazi Kanu and his terror squad, the IPOB. Unlike most terrorists of his time – like Alhaji Shekau who led the Boko Haram sect which ran rampage in North Eastern part of the Zoo, Bin Laden who brazenly attacked Uncle Sam in 2001 and was killed for it years later, Al Baghdadi who ran the show in Syria and Iraq or even the Al Shabaab brothers in East Africa — his terror was mostly verbal. He threatened to destroy the Zoo and lead the Igbo to a prosperous future. To most people East of the Niger, his words were infallible. He had a radio station he had been running for a couple of years from his base in the UK. He spat fire, assuring his hypnotised listeners that the Zoo Keeper will be defeated. He sought to purchase arms to fight the Zoo… some in public places, some in private quarters. To many, the words from the mouth of The Terrorist were law and his cry for war on the Zoo was doctrine. In all this, the Zoo Keeper said nothing. The Zoo Keeper, a man in the twilight of his earthly sojourn, seemed to be internally bitter and for many reasons: Not only had he just gained control of the Zoo after a long 12-year battle, his camp was getting divided gradually as a result of conflicting interest. Add to this the economy was crumbling with his country heading for recession. Like this was not enough, a new terrorist was in town. He was already battling Shekau and The Avengers but this new terrorist reminded him of something he probably didn’t want to remember. Years earlier, the Zoo Keeper was part of a bloody war against Kanu’s people in which over 2 million Igbos died. So he determined in his heart to decisively tackle this new terrorist. As fate would have it, the terrorist returned home and within a few hours, he was arrested and kept in custody until further notice. 2 years down the line, the Zoo Keeper had become terribly ill. His deputy, Mr. Osinbade held the reins for a while in his stead and was getting the support of the people. In the meantime, IPOB kept waxing stronger, getting new friends and winning the support of some influential people. The Zoo Keeper returned and after another period of litigation, The Terrorist was from his jail cell with several strict conditions. This seemed to be victory for The Terrorist and IPOB as they became even more daring and outspoken in their optimism of a future free of the Zoo’s grip. The Terrorist soon forgot the conditions for his release and continued from where he stopped; threatening the unity of the Zoo and constantly insulting the Zoo Keeper, only this time, he removed the drums of war and replaced them with a cry for referendum. He even assembled a Secret Service and started a mini-government of his own. Soon enough, the Zoo Keeper was back in good health and returned back to the Zoo after spending over 100 days away. His return did not stop The Terrorist as he kept galvanizing his followers towards the day they face-off with the Zoo and the Zoo Keeper. Without wasting much time, the Zoo Keeper swung into action using his favourite pet, the Python! The Python, merciless and efficient as always swooped on The Terrorist and IPOB, invoking fear across Igboland. The Python danced its way around, striking whatever was in its way… and an uneasy peace was restored in Igboland. But the last is yet to be heard from The Terrorist. I say this because the same scenario played out in the Middle East when George Bush warned that if Uncle Sam leaves the region prematurely, he will come back to fight an even angrier enemy. His advice was dismissed and the American army left. Only to return years later to fight an even angrier ISIS led by the blood-thirsty Al-Baghdadi. A little advice for the Zoo Keeper and the Python: listen… listen to anybody and everybody, please: Listen to The Terrorist, for although might be loquacious, vulgar and toeing a disastrous path, he has a mightily large following of people who you should be catering to, not fighting against. Listen to the people… ask them questions because it seems you do not care about their opinion — not even after you spent over 100 days outside the Zoo without explanation. Please drop your pride and conduct a referendum. It’s the only way to know the way forward because the people are very tired of this Zoo. Listen because it would be disastrous to feel that you have finally calmed the storm. You might have won a temporary battle, but the Python will not always be in Igboland. It is my prayer that you do not come back to Igboland to fight a bigger, even angrier enemy.
