Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, on Tuesday decried the absence of a clear-cut philosophy among Ndigbo, stressing that Igbos must re-align themselves to make any meaningful progress.

Ikpeazu, who stated this at his Umuobiakwa residence in Obingwa LGA of Abia State while addressing friends, Abians and Nigerians on the occasion of his 58th birthday celebration, said the future of Ndigbo hangs on a balance if indigenes of the zone continue to do same thing repeatedly.

Speaking on the Future of the Igbo Nation, Governor Ikpeazu harped on attitudinal change from Igbo sons and daughters, stating that the greatest problem facing Ndigbo is lack of philosophy, maintaining that Igbos do not believe in themselves, talk more of what they can achieve as a formidable force.

He charged Igbos to change their philosophy, insisting that it has to re-align with the geography of the zone, stressing that it is only when this is done that meaningful progress and development can be attracted to the zone.

Governor Ikpeazu challenged Igbos doing well in regions outside Igboland, to emulate Prof Barth Nnaji who brought the Geometric Power to South-East even as he had option of taking it elsewhere, maintaining that Prof Nnaji represents a typical Igbo man with Igbo DNA in him.

He maintained that no meaningful development can go ahead without adequate power, appreciating the efforts so far made by Prof Berth Nnaji CEO, Geometric Power and Mr. Darl Uzu, the brain behind the Enyimba Economic City.

Ikpeazu admonished Igbos to develop a philosophy for their politics and other spheres of human endeavour, urging them to realise who they are, remain focused and hold onto their new found philosophy.

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, who said he wants to be remembered for the interventions and legacy projects he made vis-à-vis the Eyimba Economic City and Geometric Power and not as a Governor that built classroom blocks, said he is bent on achieving the Enyimba Economic City Project as well as ensure that the Geometric Power is fully actualised.

He disagreed with those using insecurity in Igboland as the reason they prefer taking their businesses elsewhere, noting that there is no security anywhere in the world just as he added that there is no conducive environment to make money.

Ikpeazu will finish strong. Once he launches Geometric and Enyimba economic city. E go shock many

Dr Ikpeazu is ignorant of Nigerian factor.
It takes blood from FG to support a cooperation cited in the East. If they don't kill it with feasibility studies then the FG will cut it off from domestic funding or foreign exchange support.

Do you know that Israeli Construction Company, RCC sold their Nkalagu depot to Ibeto group and the FG forced Enugu Government to revoke the land and that was the end.

If Ikpeazu really understands Nigeria politics he wouldn't alter some nonsense he just spewed. Tell me how Dr Ikpeazu is fighting for the Igbos at the Federal level? Nothing, he got no balls.

Can you imagine that Gov. Wike revealed that a political figure is stopping a CBN funding meant for development of Ariaria Market and Dr Ikpeazu is playing the ostrich.

I agree with my friend Ikpeazu.

Ikpeazu is the worst governor in Nigeria. Where are the projects done by this fat ugly incompetent governor of abia state? Enyimba economic city exist only on billboard. Abia state is cursed, there's no development there

EVEN THEIR ATTACH BY FORCE BIAFRA NO GET MAP

IBO MEGA IDENTITY CRISIS ON FULL DISPLAY

Peanut brain

The problem of south east is the kind of people they elect as governors,They elect them mostly based on godfatherism or political affiliation without properly checking what they can achieve or achieved before.Another,is that they don't allway have the balls to face the federal government.The put their selves in a situation of slave master relationship with the federal government and swallow any shit that comes from them.

Prior to the primary election, did the same Ikpeazu support an Igbo candidate Is it not the same man that worked with Wike to frustrate Obi in PDP?
Worst governor in the world

Victim mentality.....a clear example of what Ikpeazu is talking about

Making money by any means is the philosophy.

The is talking about ideology... Things don't happen overnight plus read this part? "Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, who said he wants to be remembered for the interventions and legacy projects he made vis-à-vis the Eyimba Economic City and Geometric Power and not as a Governor that built classroom blocks, said he is bent on achieving the Enyimba Economic City Project as well as ensure that the Geometric Power is fully actualised."

So you expect him to support obi just because obi is igbo and not because he is competent?
