A FORMER Chief of General Staff(Vice-President under the military) Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe ,retd turned 76 on Wednesday. While attending to well wishers he spared us few minutes for this exclusive interview. He examined the multifaceted crises in Nigeria and said that normalcy should be urgently restored in the country. Ukiwe, who was the first number two man to former President Ibrahim Babangida from 1985-1986 also spoke on pro-Biafra agitation and war against corruption among others. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/nigerias-chaos-stuck/ 10 Likes 2 Shares

Only bigots and perpetual wailers have failed to understand this fact. PMB has only come to clean the mess left behind by sixteen years of PDP rule. 28 Likes 1 Share |

My inference. 1) Ebitu Ukiwe acknowledges that corruption is killing Nigeria and has to be killed for Nigeria to survive. He supports Buharis fight against corruption but be doesn't necessarily support the tactics used. He didn't also suggest a preferable tactic. 2) Ebitu Ukiwe doesn't seem to support Biafra but he feels the agitators for biafra should be given an opportunity for dialogue. Their grievances should be listened to when the IPOB/MASSOB group decide to consult their elders. Nice one Ebitu Ukiwe as someone who served the Nigerian state is really a stateman and should be commended for fatherly approach. I support Biafra, as a means of escape from Nigerias strangling corruption and tribalism. 16 Likes 1 Share |

46 years after the civil war, some young Igbo men are asking for Biafra, as someone, who played key roles during the war, what message do you have for them? I don’t think I have any strong message for them because even the way they are going about it is not the right way. I fought the war and I suffered all the inconveniences of the failure of that war. What they are doing, I have not been able to understand. And I believe that if they can subject themselves to a little discussion, we will be able to talk to them and they will be able to understand what should be done. Criticising them will not be the solution, but if they are willing to be talked to we, will do that. I believe that if we are able to talk to them and the government, both sides will see sense in what to do and solve the problem. This-is-a-tactical-f=show-of-support-for-biafra-course....Hear-him-''I don’t think I have any strong message for them because even the way they are going about it is not the right way''.''Criticising them will not be the solution, but if they are willing to be talked to we, will do that''. Then-the-combo-to-buharis-government...''The issue had been quite bad before Buhari came in. So, pointing at him as if he has the capacity to do it and does not want to do it may not be right''.And-another-one...''Right now, Nigeria is in chaos''...Diagnosis of the disease is the first thing before applying the right medicine. A good leader cannot emerge in the country through the type of fraudulent elections we often have, deceit and looting of the treasury''....ok-datsall...bye 4 Likes |

SillyMods: Well, considering that Nigerians have never had it so bad under Buhari than they did under PDP, one has yo ask if Buhari is doing the cleaning with trash? Personally, I think think that Buhari is a visionless and highly divisive leader whos administration will be the worst in Nigerian history. I like Ebitu Ukiwe. He was a young naval officer when the war broke out and he joined the Biafran navy and fought for his people. I like people who stand up for their own people. Had Biafra survived, he probably would have later ended up as chief of Naval Staff 3 Likes |

Not just 16 years but 31 years of utter destruction, canonisation of corruption and "chop, I chop" beginning with IBB. Fro the ouster of Buhari as military head of States in August 1985, when first waged war as an absolute dictator against economic saboteurs, drug peddlers and political looters and indiscipline. Today, Nigeria would have been better for it if we were patient then.[quote author=Orikinla post=50596892][/quote] 1 Like |
