In order to forestall any outbreak of mayhem in Lagos State and the Southwest; The
Igbo stakeholders United forum, led by its Lagos chapter chairman, prince Nixon okwara, together with the Eze Ndigbo, okota, His highness, chief Nwachukwu and other representatives of the people of other tribes, met with the traditional ruler of Isolo kingdom in his palace yesterday 26th October 2020 over the flying internet threat which gave an ultimatum to Igbos to vacate Lagos following the recent violent protests by some hoodlums who destroyed property and lives.

The convergence which was chaired by the Osolo saw the various leaders which included the sarkin hausawa suing and calm in the face of the threat which was sent by an unauthorized citizen who merely usurped the social media to create unnecessary tension.

During the meeting, the Osolo in his very simplistic and down - to - earth nature, describe Isolo as a cosmopolitan land where their is an admixture of different Nigerians and Others from different parts of the world, living peacefully and pursuing legitimate businesses.

Condemning the unfortunate ultimatum and threat issued online by an element he described as insignificant and unknown; the Osolo assured all non - indigenes of the commitment of leaders of Isolo ,and indeed the entire state to ensuring continual peace and stability.
He also advised Nigerian youths to channel all protests constitutionally and eschew violence that will lead to loss of lives and destruction of property.

Speaking, the Lagos State chapter chairman of the Igbo stakeholders United forum, prince Nixon okwara, buttressed the need for unity, focus and love amongst people of the different nationalities, describing the Yorubas as the most hospitable people as far as the Nigerian nation is concerned, given the fact that their soil is open for anyone who desires to live and establish legitimate businesses in any part of the Southwest.

Okwara shared when he spoke with a minister in the federal capital Territory (FACT) and the minister declared that the investments in Abuja are mostly owned by the Igbos and people from other tribes, an indication that points to the ownership of the FCT by investment and property.

Condemning all forms of violence and destructions that hoodlums perpetrated in Lagos and beyond, okwara stressed that the Yorubas, the Igbos, the Hausas, Fulanis, Ijaws, Itshekiris, uhrobos, Egbiras, Tivs and all others that make up Nigeria are victims of bad leadership and governmental policies that now make people angry and restive.
He therefore appealed for uncommon love and understanding amongst citizens who should see each other as brothers and sisters who must unite to achieve a better world for themselves, pointing that it is foolishness and madness that make anyone suspect the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and others as their problems.

Advising the youths against attacking police officers and platforms, prince okwara noted that the policeman is like every suffering Nigerian who should be protected by law and other citizens.

His Highness, Eze NWACHUKWU said that the Leaking protesters were peaceful until the evil politicians visited them. He thanked the Osolo and called for total peace in the land ; pointing that there is no alternative to a good nation where citizens are happy.

A youth leader at the parley used the occasion to demand for the regulation of the use of the social media so that harbingers of trouble will not continue to have a field day there.

The general tone of the participants delved in the direction of peace and progress in Lagos State and beyond.
