At the risk of provoking further discontent among some of my fellow Igbo intellectuals, I make bold to express my sense of frustration and embarrassment at the failure of our educated class to speak up against the tide of violence occasioned by the vitriols and hate-mongering by own people.



Behind every genocide, every ethnic cleansing or civil war lies a sustained period of bigotry, intolerance, chauvinism, xenophibia, narrow-mindedness, ethnic superiority and other forms of hate and exclusion, all mostly conveyed through speeches and malicious utterances. And during that period incubation of evil, good men, lawyer, bishops, traditional rules, etc would be silent and indifferent. These dangerous words ultimately explode like a bomb and plunge the society into bloodshed and war. Whether it was in Bosnia, in Rwanda or in Nigeria of the 1960s, dangerous words lead to genocide and war. It doesn’t really matter whether the flow is from the strong toward the weak or from the weak toward the strong. Voltaire, the most significant enlightenment philosopher, was therefore right and universal when he wrote that: “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities”



For many years, and counting, Nnamdi Kanu led the Igbo youths in this sustained mission of vitriols and extreme language of hate in describing our neighbors and fellow Nigerians. For him people from his tribe (the Igbos) were called “Umuchineke” (God’s children) while, expressly and by implication, others were “Umuekwensu” (Devil’s children) or “Umuanumani” (children of the beast) or the people of the zoo or the supporters of APC. And the Igbo intellectuals would listen to these daily broadcasts without saying a word in opposition. If you accept that we, the Igbos, are exclusively Umuchineke, what are the non-Igbos in our country or elsewhere? You laughed and felt good that you were Umuchineke and you failed to realize the fire these words and ideas were stoking in the country. And you call yourself educated person. Thank God we avoided the full consequences of this bigotry.



We, the Igbo intellectuals, had a duty to say no. We had a duty to say we do not accept this wholesale condemnation of others or the attempt to adjudge others to be inferior to the Igbos. Whatever the anger and whatever the brooding sense of injustice we, the Igbos, have felt in Nigeria, we still had the moral duty to rise above board and not descend to the levels we condemn. We failed. Our silence emboldened Nnamdi Kanu. Our indifference encourage bigotry and the seed of hate was planted on daily basis in our presence.



It is an irony that the Igbos have so many Bishops who could voice a position on anything. It is an irony that these men of God were so silent when the language of hate permeated the air and polluted our society. Or maybe the Bishops were the source of the idea that we are Umuchineke and others were impliedly Umuekwensu. I would like to assume that the Igbo Bishops are educated people, that they are men of God, and that they are lovers of peace. They did not show that, when their leadership was needed the most. And now they are failing to understand how suspicious they sound in their current position in the Nnamdi Kanu case. Yes, they should help pursue justice and peace. But they should just beg and pray for forgiveness. To think that what Nnamdi Kanu was up to was good is a betrayal of the youth and God by these Bishops.



Lovers of peace must want peace for all. Lovers of justice must seek justice for all. As long as you want peace and justice only for Umuchineke, you will have neither peace nor justice.

The cult group called IPOB refer to themselves as Umuchineke and if you are Igbo but not a member of their group you are called efulefu.So their hate is to everyone who is a none member of IPOB it does not matter whether you are Igbo or not.None Igbo IPOB members are also called Umuchineke like Omote Biafra from ISOKO in Delta state.

Ethnic bigot and pride had reduced these poeple to unseriuose fellow in the societies . You show hatred and words of war on a daily basis towards poeple in Nigeria and you can't blame yourselves but when your seed of hatred and war growning against you in the region you start making unnecessary victim noises as if you were not the one that call for it yourselves.

The Igbos are the most insincere set of people you can meet in Nigeria.. some are good however but majority are just something else that speak from both sides of the mouth.

Imagine an Abdul inciting Northerners to attack Igbo businesses in Anambra and kill Igbo leaders, by now US, UN, ICC, ECOWAS and every organization's desk would be filled with petitions from Igbos both home and abroad.. Now take a look at Kanu calling for destruction of other ethnicities and their leaders via live radio broadcasts, yet their rulers and leaders in Igboland kept quiet while their youths cheered him on. Now that the monsters they nutured have turned on them, they are asking FG to release Kanu just like that. Nonsense!

Emeka Ugwuonye is a confused man. This is a man who once left America, where he was a Lawyer, to come to Abuja to defend Nnamdi Kanu in court.

Its not loke Ugwuonye did not listen to Radio Biafra when he did this. Now he attacks Nnamdi Kanu over flimsy reasons. What is wrong in someone saying that his people are children of God? Did Nnamdi Kanu say that other people are children if the devil? No he did not. I see nothing wrong with Nnamdi Kanu calling his people children of God, and if anyone wants to read meaning into it like Ugwuonye, then thats their business


I laugh when people say that Nnamdi Kanu was spreading hate on his Radio station. This is a country where Boko haram, ISWAP, killer herdsmen and different armed bandits are spreading death daily. So how can Nnamdi Kanu be spreading hate where there is no love?

He is simply saying that Kanu is going about the whole thing the wrong way coupled with bad attitude of Igbo leaders at the onset otherwise the situation wouldn't have degenerated to this level, I advise and you read in-between the line to have a clearer picture of the situation.

The path of non violence and working within the political and leadership structure of the east which ipob rejected have once again proven to be the right path based on what we have seen in the east so far, did violence or forceful seat at home lead to anything meaningful? The answer is no. Was ipob able to stop Anambra election? No.

Now the same political and leadership structure of East which ipob called all manner of names were the people who saved Kanu the last time and are still his only hope as it stands now because the government will never negotiate with ipob direct. The earlier ipob and it's supporters understand this basic truth is better for them.

The idiot that wrote this article is biased did Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wake & start talking on the radio, something motivated him to start talking which is hate action by those that are ruling Nigeria for years.
Equal & opposite reaction all goes together, Igbo Otellectuals including the writer are also part of the cause for not taking action or direct the government to do the right thing.
Meanwhile all that Kanu said about our opressors is their any one that is lie, the answer is no, so saying the truth or reality is now bad abi?.

If your looking for source of a polluted water go to the head, in this case Igbo Otellectuals including the writer refuse to do the needful but choose to be Fulani ass leakers, now the youths are doing it.

If you want to solve a problem go to the source of the problem which the write refused to mention, which marginalization of the east, killings, rape, kidnapping & distruction of farmland by fulanis & the idiot want us to clap for them abi?,.

The write should blame him self & his fellow Otellectuals for allowing Nigeria governmet to marginalize their region & them refuse to tackle them which create vacuum that the youths & Kanu filled.

The write want us to be clapping laughing while we're been killed by Nigeria governmet & their terrorist herdsmen & those on uniform.

We don't massage peoples ego, if your stupid we tell you, if your good we will also tell you, and we can't run away from saying the truth no matter who the person is, we will tell you the truth in your face, that's why Nnamdi Kanu called Buhari an Idiot because he behaves like one.

Please oh, why didn't they include that MNK said that Buhari is dead, are they hiding something or the didn't hear it.
