Posted by Editor

The spokesman of defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and head of Lagos State Infrastructure Maintenance &Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA), Joe Igbokwe, has reacted positively to the stand of Ohaneze Ndigbo leadership over Lagos deportation saga.
Igbokwe in his response via email believes that Ohaneze is thinking strategically. Hear him.

From Joe Igbokwe

I do not want to join issues with all those who have rendered a veritable tool Oyibopeople invented to help humanity almost nugatory by engaging into tribal verbal wars here. Over the years I have watchedthese foolish engagements by people sufficiently educated to know better but have chosen to play Ostrich. Igbo must think about Strategic interest always. People that were taken to the North are less human, those taken South West are less human, those taken to Ebonyi and Akwalbom in 2011 by Gov Obi are less human abi? nkem di iche bu ajo aha. Honest intellectuals in Igboland must pullthe rug away from some people who create enemies for Ndigbo in this forum at the drop of a hat.

The crippled cannot be the akwaa akwulu Ndigbo. The blind cannot be the anya Ndigbo ji ahu uzo in Nigeria. Half baked educated people cannot speak for Ndigbo. The nonsensicaleffusions going on here in the name of theso- called deportation in Lagos is a misnomer, an aberration, reprehensible and a basket case. A man going to the market to buy basket knows that he is notgoing to use it to store water. The man selling the basket knows also that the buyer cannot use it to store water. A word is enough for the wise . Ohaneze is thinking. Ohaneze understands the game.Ohaneze can get it. Case rested!-

Below is the earlier report of Ohaneze Stance on Deportation of Igbos

Ohaneze Urges Restraint over Deportation of Igbos-Describes Yorubas as Allies

Ohaneze Ndgbo have urged for restraint in the responses from Igbos over the issueof their deported sons and daughters on the orders of Lagos State Government. The group also called for restraint in the ongoing Igbos-Yoruba hate comments to avoid unnecessary tension in the polity. This was stated by the Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr Joe Nwaorgu during a briefing with group of clergymen led by Rev Obinna Akukwe who sought clarification on the crisis ridden state of Ndigbo at Enugu, yesterday.

The Ohaneze leader said that he had spoken personally with Governor Fasholaover the issue and heard the other side of the story. Dr Nwaorgu also informed the clergymen that the President of Igbo Community in Lagos, Prof Anya .O. Anya was earlier instructed to get in touch with Fashola over the issue and that the Governor personally drove to Prof Anya’s house where he clarified with them on the issue. Describing the deportation of anybody in Nigeria, not just Igbos, as morally unjustifiable and legally wrong, he said that destitutes should be rehabilitated instead and not dehumanized. He said that Igbos and Yorubas are not at war and advised against hateful incitements by attention seeking politicians from both sides.

The Ohanaeze leader also said that the body had not authorized anybody to speak on its behalf concerning 2015 presidential elections and revealed that the decision on who to support will be taken on the last day of the 2013 Igbo DayCelebrations scheduled for September 24-27th. He discountenanced reports in a newspaper last Sunday that Ohaneze waspart of an earlier summit insisting on Igbo presidency and said that options are still open to Ndigbo.

In the same vein the Secretary of Electoral Committee in the January 12th Ohaneze controversial election Dr Mrs Felly Eneh had reiterated that there is no faction in Ohaneze. The woman leader was making veiled references to media reports purportedly sponsored by a presidential aide that a faction of Ohaneze Ndigbo met at Enugu last Saturday, said that”the election of January 12th was legally conducted and those who think otherwise are minority irritants and entitled to their opinion, people are just being sponsored to create confusion”. She condemned the killing of Igbos in Kano and asked government to do proper investigation.

The Assistant National Publicity Secretaryof Ohanaeze and gubernatorial aspirant in Anambra State , Barrister Emejulu Okpalaukwu in his reaction explained that Ohanaeze leadership is engaging the presidency for more security for Igbos especially in Kano and expressed confidence that the quiet diplomacy of the Ohanaeze President General, Chief Nnachi Igariwey would yield tangible results.

Ohaneze leadership had earlier expressed angst that its Kano State Branch President, Chief Tobias Idika is being hunted by Kano State Government and Police Command and warned against anyfurther harassment of the Chapter President. They, however, asked Chief Idika not to make any further public statements on the Kano issue, promising to engage the presidency quietly over the state of Ndigbo in Kano.

The Ime-Obi Ohaneze met last Saturday at Ohaneze Headquarters, Enugu and discussed wide range of issues affecting Igboland. The group, among other issues opposed the grazing bill before the National Assembly and cautioned against ethnicization of the Onitsha head bridge deportation saga. Ohaneze also prohibited state chapters of the group from issuing press statements on nationalissues without clearance from the national secretariat.

The highly attended Ime-Obi meeting hadthe presence of Eze Justice Ozobu, Eze Cletus Ilomuanya, Eze Desmond Ogugua, Eze Gibson Nwosu, Eze Njemanze,Dr Dozie Ikedife,Chief Mbazulike Amechi, Rev Obinna Akukwe,Senator Hope Uzodimma, Prof ABC Nwosu, Ezeigbo BenNwosu, Barrister Emejulu Okpalaukwu, Nze Mark Odu, Prof S.E Asogwa among numerous Igbo leaders in attendance.

I hope after reading this some of us will still not label our elders and leaders as fools,weaklings,traitors,lacking in aggressive style needed to portray the Igbos as not being a second class citizen and all sorts

The Ohanaeze -a cerebral and amalgam of the best and finest of Ndigbo recognises the need for Igbos to build bridges,form alliances and be more open-minded unlike the greedy,selfish and perennial enemy-hunters for Ndigbos like Peter Obi etc

Let there be peace in our land!

Blessed are the peace-makers!

finally we have some sensible people in Ohaneze. Yorubas have never and will never dislike Igbos, the reason we felt strongly about it was the fact that we are being blackmailed and taken for a fo.ol by some people making bogus claims of population and relevance while demeaning others in the pursuit to make lies true and the truth as lies.

Wetin be your point?

Damage control?

Too late! The horse has bolted!

Stop beating a dead horse.

If you can't speak out against injustice done to the poor, others will definitely do, without fear or favour.

Whether you twist it to solicit for support in your defence is immaterial.

The poor/destitute should have never been moved against their will, if they broke any legitimate law or rule within a State, let them be arrested and pronounced guilty by a competent court and consequently be imprisoned.

Obiagelli:

i hope this clears the air. Btw we know [those seeking attention and cheap populariy (ffk, ouk, obi).

REHOZIBAH: Blessed are the peace-makers!

For they shall have peace!

The case should be dead and buried. There's No need trying to resurrect the matter. Okwu ekpe bi go!

As in dem don arrange an ibo Chica to console you?

Aluta continua!

The matter should be put in the coolers till after 2015 elections and census, I think the b relocation of oil and gas company headquarters to Niger delta, the relocation of telecommunications company headquarters to abuja and the bank headquarters, the completion of the ibaka sea port and concession of onitsha port would naturally trigger the massive relocation of igbo and Niger deltans to other accommodating parts of Nigeria and yorubas can now come up or revisit these issues

The same jobbers who rejected out rightly the Aburi accord that would have solved Nigeria's problem permanently are finally waking up from their delusions and ignorance 48 years after and want to invoke only a section of what Aburi covered

Whether the fools urges retrain or not, we the Yorubas must continue to protect our territories from these shameless and backward parasites feeding from us. We SHALL AND MUST continue to eradicate foolish parasites from our land. The die is cast.

All the bolded places are backward. Still, your ilks flock there in droves. You're totally deluded.
I don't know about Anambra but isn't Ebonyi one of the poorest state there is? Plus I was posted to Abia for NYSC, nigga I redeployed after the 3 weeks camping, very horrible place. Take away Umuahia North which seems a bit developed/organized, the rest na trash.

You must be doing poorly in your quest at being a comedian. If Ebonyi is one of the poorest Osun is the poorest of the poorest. All the states you bolded are far more less developed than their counterparts. My people are only flocking to Lagos our collective heritage. Nobody is interested in the caves and forests called Ibadan, ogbomosho and the rest.

Being deluded.
Start from Lagos and do a trip from Lagos till you touch Offa.
You'll find your people in hundreds of thousands.
If war breaks out today, you people will be so mauled down (God forbid)

LMAO!
We have risen to Hausas on several occasions sir.
Igbos were screwed in the ass before and during the war and are still getting mauled in the North till today.
There has never been a single form of protest, rally or at least a reaction meant to bait the Hausa community in the east into a face-off.

My point is, Yoruba have at least openly voiced against the incessant and random killings meted out in the North. And the stand-off with Hausa community in Ibadan recently which could have easily degenerated into blood letting spree across the West and North.

Have/Has this anything of such mentioned above ever occurred in the East?

Recently, cattle herder AK'd some people in Imo recently and nothing happened.

For supporting Biafra in one of your post I just saw and the valid points you raised, I back down from this argument.
