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 .

He truncated Regionalism? Is that what they told you? If he truncated Regionalism then why were the 4 Regions Nigeria had at the time still existing months after the death of Ironsi?

What manner of stupidity is this?
who created unity government and trauncated regional government we were enjoying?

Why do we currently have 6 regions despite no regional government.

Infact I'm not supposed to respond to this, but I just couldnt stand how stupid you sounded.

T8ksy:





Omo, welcome to the club o. The poster you responded to is a well-known figure here on NL.

He has been consistently vomiting the same du.mb narratives about the infamous Decree 34 by his homie. Even when newspaper clippings showing Ironsi on front page, saying "regionalism" is our problem and the only solution is to unite the civil service in the country.

He keeps on making the same asinine assertion that the regions were still existing, even after ironsi's demise, but failed to say, in what capacity they existed.

The same man banned tribal groups in order to promote his One united Nigeria dream
