Nobody can stop Igbo from living in any part of Nigeria - Umeh

Tony Okafor, Awka


The Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District , Chief Victor Umeh, has said the Igbo are entitled to live and do their business in any part of Nigeria as Aborigines.

He said as Aborigines of Nigeria , the Igbo would resist any form of xenophobic attack on them from any quarters.

Umeh spoke during the 2023 Umunri Cultural Fiesta ( Oganiru Umunri),held at Enugu-Agidi in the Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State.

While describing Ndigbo as indigenous people of Nigeria, the Senator maintained that they were no migrants, adding, "Igbo people didn't come from a new place outside Nigeria to become Nigerians,rather,they are the aborigines of Nigeria who have the rights to reside in any part of the country to do their business."

He stated that Lagos State was one of those places in Nigeria the Igbo live,pointing out that without Ndigbo Lagos economy would collapse and become nothing.

He said ,"Lagosians should allow Ndigbo to do their businesses because they pay their taxes to the Lagos State Government; anybody that is attacking the Igbo is drawing anarchy to themselves and Nigeria at large.

He said,"Igbo people live everywhere in Nigeria. There is no village in Nigeria the Igbo don't live and do their business and contribute to the development of those places they live by building houses and becoming part of their host community."

Describing the Igbo as peace lovers, promoters of national integration and inter -tribal relationship, Umeh maintained that the Igbo believed in hard work, stating that there should be no reason they should be subjected to xenophobic attacks.

He commended the organizers of the Oganiru movement in Umueri clan and expressed the hope that the event would foster unity, promote communal spirit and relationship for peace to reign.

Speaking, the President -General of Enugu-Agidi, Chief Ebuka Onuorah, said the event was aimed at bringing Umunri , especially from Enugu-Ukwu, Enugu-Agidi, Nwafia and Nri together for better understanding of themselves, their culture and traditions .

That's 100% sure

No body

Igbo's are done developing Southwest...

They are now developing akwaibom state ..


But why can't igbo's develop southeast

Anyway God bless the good people of Southsouth and Southwest

Still never seen any HOR member, Senator, Governor, commissioner or any top Govt official in the SW asking igbos to leave or vacate wherever


Its cool to assume that average the Chidubem who sells boxers in the streets is as dumb as the most educated teeth gnashing Chinua Achebe who still cries in his grave for missing out on the Nobel prize....

See as their district elected Senator dey vibrate on top perceived Pseudo-intimidation

He should also advise the if os to always respect their host.

Failure to respect and accept the political and economic decision of their host will be met with serious consequences as in the case of lagos.

No matter how long you stay in another man's land, you are still a visitor and there are limits to how you can behave.

I think it's in the blood of this people to always wail

Who told you they are not developing SE?

That's why I like posting pictures, so that timid people like you who have never left their villages in SW can see for themselves.

Is it a crime for Igbo to build a house outside his region?

Shinja...

Which part of Ikeja the capital of Lagos with trillion budget has the serenity and densely but carefully built like this city in SE?

Traveling will lift the shocking ignorance of people like you from SW.

So in fact Igbos are developing the SE.

Chest beater lasan

Children filled with hate can't stop Igbos.




They can only back stabbing.

Ode what do you mean by political and economic decisions? I bet you are not even an indigene it Lagos to begin with.

Host that is living under the bridge.Host indeed.

THE BEST WE CAN DO AS IGBOS IS COPY OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS IN NIGERIA, GO TO THEIR PLACE MAKE MONEY BUILD ONLY YOUR HOUSE SHOP AND WAREHOUSE TO AVOID LANDLORD PROBLEM, THEN BUILD EVERYTHING IN THE EAST LET'S PLAY THE GAME TOGETHER.

You too sabi book. Infact we will invade all state for business, gather their money and take it down our region.

That's the thing we are reaping from ONE NIGERIA.

Ndi IgboJew una don hear am from Senator Umeh that we are aborigines of our land we no come from anywhere. Eri Na small boy.

True, but how come go back home always sound suicidal to you people?

Now I know why ironsi trauncated out regional government for stupid unity one Nigeria nonsense.

Unity beggers want to be everywhere but won't open their own place.

No Nigerian is a host to another Nigerian!

What exactly do you mean by respect your host... Come and explain?

You know the truth is not lack of respect of host

Come and tell us specifically how igbos are disrespectful to their host ooh

Who is that first time nobody bragging Senator from Sadeast ?? Election had gone tell your people to build their region as they built others. You just said what many of them like just to carry their emotions higher as usual . I can't blame you many of your people hate Truth If you tell them they will start insulting you and stoning your image badly once you don't say what they like.

I repeat, no Nigerian is a host to another Nigerian. The constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria regarding the rights of citizens is very clear. You'll have to leave Nigeria and form your own country so you can treat Nigerians different.

When you collect oil allocation revenue from Niger Delta, you don't mention host
