He, like other mumus commenting here are trying to paint the Igbo victims of northern islamist madness as being responsible for their own misfortune by staying in a part of their own country.

Only south african apartheid regime had a system of internal segregation based on ethnicity, and even them made it official and supplied documents telling everyone where they can go or not go. There at least you may blame victims, foolishly, if they get maltreated in banned territory.

But this is one nigeria, where northerners own oil wells in the south, where northerners don't need visa to rear their cows in the south, where they roam free, and you want our own people to be quarantined in the east?

Coming from a supposedly Igbo leader makes it a highly foolish statement.

dis ur drama cnt help u wen bomb is been drop in d north. Ur analysis is vry out-dated nd vry far away 4rm d topic of discusion,may b u shud ask ur landlord or ur co-tenant 2 intepret wat Oji means..

confusion247:
And you also believe in the One Nigeria that kills the IGBOS like chicken in the spirit of ONE NIGERIA.

What is stopping Igbos from retaliating?

Orji wants igbos to act like cowards. To run home to mummy instead of fighting. Remind me which people in the world history acted thus when confronted?

Dudu_Negro:

"come home" is a code word for ibo. it does not mean come and settle in iboland. it means come home to iboland and then depart and go settle in Yorubaland.

Explains high inflow of easterner into lagus and near empty buses going back to the east.

alfaman2: orji is big fool then if he said that.

What advise would you like him to give,m is it because he is not as good as Rochas?

Bestman Nnamdi: What advise would you like him to give,m is it because he is not as good as Rochas?

The best advice is to tell igbos to organise themselves, get weapons and defend themselves. Also to retaliate for every killing whatever the cost. That is the only way for nama rearers to know they can't mess with us. Running away will only encourage them.

Talking about running back home whenever aboki starts violence, we did that in 1966/67. How did that work out for us?

Omokanda

You are an Osu. There is Osu in Yoruba land. Yoruba peeps almost wiped out their osu through human sacrifice.

Go and read about the long juju of arochukwu and see who is notorious for human sacrifice!!!

Instead of debating on what Orji said, I suggest we should proffer solutions to this embarrassing crises the nation is facing which obviously is affecting the Igbos most.I suggest the Elders of Igbo communities should come together and discuss this issue. We should put away our differences and unite to tackle this challenge. The Northern Elders are meeting every now and then but we that are at the receiving end have not held any meeting to the public notice. Are the Igbo leaders trying to tell everyone to carry their cross? If a counter attack is carried out in the South East, may be they will stop their murderous act. I know we are all careful not to trigger another civil war. But those who make peaceful change impossible makes violent change inevitable. The Northern people seems to be more united. I think it's time we get united and come up with a consensus solution. May God help up.

I have read about the so-called long Juju of Arochukwu. In addition, I have lived in Yoruba land and read deeply about Yoruba history of human sacrifice. I can safely say that Arochukwu’s long juju thing was a child’s play. The human sacrifice in Yoruba land is not only seasonal, it is equally occasional. There are specialists in human sacrifice in all nukes and crannies of Yoruba land. They are not called “Aworo “or “Iworo” for nothing. I do not want to touch the Oba’s case in Yoruba land.

^^^One word.....i tell a lie; two words: GOD and HUMANITY!

EzeUche: Igbos learn to ignore people like omonnakada.

He is a annoying little boy who always want attention. Simply ignore him and he will eventually go away.

Finally. if not, what is good about the OSU system and tribal(uglification marks) that one should be maintaining it.
And to think there are no igbo music and videos books,smh........
They dont leave their enclave hence, are so parochial in thoughts.

mike404:
you are a BIG FHOOOOOOOOL for making such comment. ADAKA

@mike404 u re an slowpoke for opening ur filty mouth to vomit trash. Ewu hausa

This is a nice idea from the governor, the earlier they adhere to this advice the better for abians in the North, we are tired of hearing bomb blast and that our people were affected, please i advice theabians in diasporain north to start coming back home!

Those who have ears have heard and taken into account what the governor T.A ORJI has said ,its a golden advice and only the wise will heed the the counsel of the wise.He has well spoken

You are correct,we all need to put heads together to proffer solutions to the lingering Nigeria nationality crisis.In my opinion, we need to sit together and agree on the nature of a federation we will all want as a nation- call it national or a constitutional conference. ONE THING YOU MUST REMOVE FROM YOUR MIND IS SECTIONAL REPRISAL ATTACK ON THE NORTHERNERS RESIDING IN THE EASTERN REGION. The reason is simple.With due apology, the quality and quantity of northerners in the south east is so infinitesimal compared to the over 10 million well established igbos in the northern region of Nigeria. By the time you kill ten to twenty Suya mallams in Aba, Owerri or Onitsha, thousands of igbo doctors, Enginners, high level traders and professinals will be massacred in Potiscum, Sabongari, Zakibiam, Hong, Song, Zaria,Kotun Karfir,Bauchi, Biu, Sokoto,Damaturu,Kaduna,Dogo Yaro,Kebbi, Dumne, Daggash, Mubi,name it. Soon,many who talk before they think will shout:'what are they doing there?'; but the truth is,you will agree with me that the logistics of relocating millions of igbos from the north to the southeast is neither a one month affair nor an issue for a mere brain wave pronouncement in a chat with journalists by govt offiacials.Many of the igbos have taken a strategic decision to relocate and are indeed relocating. But we must not make matters worse for them by unco-ordinated reprisals.

Well said and eloquently stated; It is time for Igbo's to take action in rebuilding the East no we can not accomplish this in 1 month but a 12 month action plan can yield great results for developing an area that is being ignored by its son's Igbo's claim to be the greatest in business development and have proven to be every where but in the inherent land of our forefathers we must return and build our fathers land we are still living in the infrastructure built by our grandfathers and greatgrandfathers Shame on IGBO SONS all you can build is stupid big houses

Instead of causing unnecessary panic, this man should instead be calling for better police protection of all citizens no matter where they may choose to reside in Nigeria.
