Its no longer news that Ohanaeze Ndiigbo is one the most vocal voices in calling for restructuring of Nigeria. While this is a good call, judgement however must start from home. Ohanaeze must first put It's house in order before it can start wading into national issues. Not doing so is akin to a man whose house is on fire chasing a rat.

Ohanaeze replaced Igbo Union after the civil war and simply continued from where the later stopped like nothing changed, when in truth the definition of who is Igbo and who wasn't had changed post 1970.
Ohanaeze currently recognize groups such as Ikwerre, Ogba,Ndokwa,Ika, Ekpeye who has since distanced themselves from the Igbo tag since post civil, as Igbo. What this means is that Ohanaeze Ndiigbo is an organization living in the past and who are not up to date with modern realties.

The fall out of this is that dubious persons from the above mentioned groups can claim Igbo and take slots reserved for Igbos in national politics while denying Igbo when doing so portends being left with a short end of the stick.

It also lead to national embarrassment and present Ndiigbo as a spoilt brand or land grabbers when members from the above mentioned groups go on to denounce their Igbo tag, leaving Ndiigbo with eggs on our faces and presenting us as a people desperate for forced association with these groups who in reality have nothing to offer us as a people.

Chineke gozie gi.

You get time arguing with IPOB miscreants. A zombie is only loyal to the chief clown in London.

You just described your cursed lineage and ancestors.
Not every lineage can and ancestors can be like yours, all know is blessing and prosperity, you are the one that said your family is cursed, that your parents normally curse you every moment, it doesn't happen in mine, so let such say in your generation and forever and ever.

You are already displaying the signs of a cursed fool. Only a cursed dog will be attacking a non existent shadow like you are doing. I suggest you ask your parents for forgiveness. Who knows you might have committed incest, or rape or even stolen what was meant for the gods.

Onitsha is not totally a good comparison per se. Zik, the leader of the igbos at a time, was from Onitsha. So the identity crises shouldn't have risen in the first place
. I don't understand how somebody leading will be confused about his identity or be wondering if he really belongs... Let's look at Asaba.. Imediately after the war, Asaba was part of the cities that showed this type of attitude. Infact, it used to be the case in in Asaba during the 70s and 80s. The only reason it subsided in Asaba is because of the presence of intelligent people like the Asagba of Asaba and folks like Chief Sony Odogwu and the fact that Onitsha businesses that migrated to Asaba after the creation of Delta State, did so with little confrontations.

Portharcort has not been lucky with such farsighted individuals. So what happened?? It's because we lost a war and the "Victor's" took time to mutilate our borders and hand over many parts to different groups that supported them. Maybe the majority of ikwerres hate Igbo, if that is the case, then let them go. There are other communities with historical Igbo ties that shouldn't be antagonized because they have noisy leaders good at taunting igbos. Personally, I'm not bothered by the empty rants of the likes Wike and co. I'm not that simple minded. You don't biuld a state by being so temperamental. There used to be a time when Obigbo had this sort of acrimonious relationship with the rest of the Igbo states. Today, they are the ones being massacred for an Igbo cause!

Are we also going to throw away Obigbo? After all until recently, they were showing similar nonchalant attitude towards the Igbo cause.. What led to the epiphany that changed them from nonchalant Igbos to foundamentalist Igbos? Isn't it better to focus on those positives than to twaddle with triffles? If this discussion happened twenty years back, Obigbo will be part of those receiving ultimatums to "declare" or "disappear". Isn't it obvious that instead of engaging in all these petty fights, we should be more concerned with improving the Igbo man's political clout so these minorities can see the GAINS in alligning with us? After all the last time they alligned with us, they were massacred! And we couldn't save them!
The most pragmatic of all. While Ndigbo can be compared to Germany in many ways, our enemies are nothing like theirs. This is what the OP doesn't understand. I'll agree if a Ohaneze gives a clear message to the Ikwerres by sending a message to Ogbakor Ikwerre clearly stating the recent Wike's genocide and subsequent denial as a reason for their decision before relieving (not expelling) any Ikwerre member from the group. Of course they'll get the message from the subsequent elections in Rivers State. This is how you respond to those who actively and vociferously choose to ridicule their family members.
As for the Etches, Ogbas and Ekpeyes, they'll get the message. Whichever way they choose to respond to the larger Igbo nation will be responded to accordingly.
Ika and Ndokwa should be left alone. Even them will get the message when Ikwerre is used as an example because of Wike.
My advice to the OP and others that share his view is this; never ignore the hands of the general Igbo enemies we're dealing with. As you're planning on cutting off these groups, they're planning to help you cut off more. Have you not wondered why people like Uwazuruike after all the sufferings today has been left trying to build a university? Does he still sound like even a lover of Igbos in general? He has lost focus and have turned anti Igbo.
Let's not forget that a war is still on going in Nigeria. One can put his house in order without making noise about it. The worst any Igbo person or group will do is taking our socio-political problems to the lap of our enemy to deliberate. What for God sake do you expect them to do? Let's be circumspect.

And when things go south or the political affairs of the new state doesn't favour them, they will go back to the Bini mania and try to poison the mind of others.
Sometimes I wonder how ipob members think. Ikwerre and ika are cancer to Ndigbo and the only way to get rid of cancer is by excision
