State Security Service (SSS) in Plateau State has invited the President General of the Igbo Community in Jos, Mr. Innocent Asogwa, over the recent protests in the South- East and South-South region of the country demanding for the actualisation of the Biafran State.

Our correspondent was informed by Asogwa that the SSS only invited him to assure them that he will prevail over the Igbo Community in Plateau State not to join their counterpart, protesting for the State of Biafra in the South-East and South-South region of the country.

He, however, assured the Security Service that the Igbo Community in Plateau under his watch are law abiding, and would not do anything to jeopardise the fragile peace that is gradually returning to the State.

The new President General, who took over from his predecessor Mr. Okay Ezekwume few weeks ago, advised Ndigbo worldwide to seek legitimate redress with accordance to the laws on issues of marginalisation, rather than taken to protest.

Similarly, Mr. Achike Onochie Esq, President, Anambra Welfare Association in Plateau State has blamed the Federal Government over the recent protest, saying that the Biafra agitation is as a result of the oppressive tendencies against the Ndigbo in this present administration. “You cannot beat someone and at the same time stop the person from crying”, he said.

Onochie said, the President Buhari -led Federal Government is given credence to the agitation of Biafra, by excluding the Igbo nation from his government.

In his words: “Ndigbo has been marginalised in this present administration, simply because the APC led government felt they did not get as much votes from the south-east and south-south during the general election”, he stressed.

He, however, advised President Buhari to take urgent steps in addressing the issue before it escalates.

Meanwhile, the Director General of National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mr. Mike Omeri, in Jos last weekend, during a one-day retreat organised for political office holders, advised the agitators of Biafra to seek the full realisation of their God given talents and potentials with a united Nigeria instead of seeking opportunities to draw the country backward.

Omeri gave a new directive to all the State Directors of the Agency in the affected states, urging them to seek creative and positive ways of engaging the youths of these areas on the need for unity, peace and progress, noting that Nigeria has since passed the period of ethnic and tribal consolidation and separation.

The NOA boss is quoted as saying “Nigeria has passed the period of calls for separation and self-determination. We fought and resolved that conflict with a commitment to ever remain together as a united people.

“What we must seek at this point is to join hands with the government to promote and build a just and secure society in which the opportunities are available to all despite our ethnic cultural differences”, he
said

Nonsense!!

Is it a crime to protest peacefully?

These security men should curb the violent activities of Fulani herdsmen. But they don't care. They are more interested in a non-violent protest. Mumu people!!!

Inviting him for what
They want to arrest him just like they did to kanu
Coward sss

[size=18pt]For flogging? [/size]

Deji of Akure, see wetin you started.

ProfessorPeter:
North and SW in panic mood.

Is Plateau in the North or SW? If they tell you Igbo people to go and travel nau, una go come vex.

So protest for self determination is now a crime in Nigeria ?


Hmmm God have vindicated those that call Nigeria a Zoo

North and SW in panic mood.

Ethnic profiling?

If Buhari make him go die, if he doesn't address the fundamental problem. More protest will soon hit Nigeria. Abuja will soon experience earth quaking protest.

That Igbo union leader in Jos is speaking only for himself, he can't speak for his sons in this issue of Biafra.

I love being a Biafran

Zooooooogerian. This is why the country is referred to as a Zoo.

Igbos claim they are discriminated against and targeted. The DSS in Plateau have just confirmed that assertion.


On what bases is DSS in Plateau inviting Mr. Innocent Asogwa?


What right do they have to invite him for matters arising outside their jurisdiction?


What has he personally done?


Is he the Governor General of the South East as Ojukwu was?


Besides have there been any protest in Plateau?


Dont dey in Plateau have more urgent security threat in the form of Boko Haram and Fulani Herds men?


This is the kind of stupidity you find when illiterates are running the country. Buhari show us your certificate.

Nigeria will be free when Biafra is freed...... Thunder fire those political jobbers who masqurade themselves as igbo leaders..... Who una dey lead?? Mtcheew nonsense

Nna see fear

Guy, no one is objecting to your protest as long as your people limit such protests to Ala'Igbo. But if you carry it to the Middle Belt, North Central, North West or North East, you are asking for trouble.

Do you remember that old song from Fela? "...Trouble dey sleep, yanga go wake am, wetin e dey find, oO?"

You want to carry your protest to....where?? Abuja?? And you think the security agencies who are still battling BH and trying to safe-guard Abuja from any further bomb blasts, will watch IPOD guys marching down the streets in silence?? Hehehe..."trouble dey sleep, yanga go wake am, wetin e dey find, oO?"

Mr. Man, we don't intend to protest outside Biafra land.

Take note of that.

Stop forcing your way into matters that dont concern you. Biafra has nothing to do with those areas. They are the principal reason we want to leave Nigeria.


We dont want their association further and that includes Yorubas from the South west. I hope things are alot clearer for you to understand.


The protest is a Biafra National Affair. The Zoo is falling.

Protest is legitimate means and tool to address any concern in a democracy.

If in doubt, ask #SaveNigeriaGroup, and #OccupyNigeria

What gave birth to their own protest, is totally different from what has given rise to yours'. Take note and be guided.

Going by the comments, most people didn't even bother to read the post before commenting. They invited him over to seek his assurances that there won't be any such protests on the Plateau . Besides, Plateau has ample number of Igbos that could disrupt economic activities of they marched, so this is understandable.

Trut:


Mr. Man, we don't intend to protest outside Biafra land.

Take note of that.

Why nau?

Your Fulani masters are waiting for you....... dem don dey hungry for Igbo blood, esp boko harams.

Forcing my way, kwa?? How? Simply because I pointed out the pitfalls of protesting outside your enclave to your own group? Na wah, o!

Guy, there is no 'zoo' here, o. If you are searching for one, you would have to go further away towards your own region.

IlekeHD:

More confirmation of Biafra urgency to leave the Zoo. Too many bloody blood thirsty animals.


I guess the protest and protesters are justified on the bases that their life and properties are not safe.

True. Different strokes for different folks.

But in the end, protest is still a legitimate tool in democracy. You need to open your skull up and pour that in.

unfortunately he won't be solicited if there is any plan.

This is a clear case of ethnic profiling.

The Ndigbo leaders ought to start speaking out. As a matter of fact the earlier this guys realized that" Igbo enwehin eze " The Igbo don't have deceptive kings the better for them.

Is asking for Biafra too much from a huge race with dignity and self respect?

PointB:
True. Different strokes for different folks.

But in the end, protest is still a legitimate tool in democracy. You need to open your skull up and pour that in.

Protests that are based on a faulty premise and conducted for selfish ends, will only have the protesters to blame. Open your skull up and let that sink in.
