Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, has expressed support for President Tinubu’s decision to consider releasing Nnamdi Kanu from detention.

According to a press release issued on Thursday and signed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Secretary General of the organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo disclosed that the anticipated date for Kanu’s release is December 2023.


The organisation said the president’s decision would have “significant implications for the political landscape in the Southeast.” The group also warned against any attempt by “mischievous Igbo political elites and deviant opportunists” to take credit for Kanu’s release.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo urges President Tinubu not to entertain any visits or demands from these individuals,” the press release said. “The credit for Kanu’s release should solely be attributed to him.”


The group also said that Kanu’s release would “gradually diminish the rising popularity of both Peter Obi and Simon Ekpa in the Southeast.”

Any Ohanaeze not led by Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu is a fake Ohanaeze, just like this fake story

Nigeria has never been united. However, I think the military managed our diversity better than democratic government because elections divide countries all over the world.

In fact, it takes a focused country to remain strong and united after elections. Then, when you elect a sound leader, he works hard to unite the country. Unfortunately, this hasn't been happening in Nigeria.

One thing is certain though: balkanization cannot happen in Nigeria. We will keep managing the shipwreck for centuries - something we have successfully done for the past one century after amalgamation.

You will keep managing the Shipwreck for centuries? Why? If our unity has not made us progress, what is the point? To be together for the sake of being together?

Nigeria should have disintegrated a long time ago. We have allowed an unworkable union that has only brought suffering to the vast majority to continue for no reason

Also the reason why both yoruba and housa don't want igbo to become president

So why do they want "one Nigeria" then?

HeroicMeastro:

But he ran away from the war he ignited, isn't that cowardice?
I think he is a coward!!!

Well he fought for his freedom for three years before running away

Those who cannot fight for their freedom for even 3 minutes, to even talk about getting to the stage of running away, think he is a coward

Wonders shall never end

The Biafran Nations League, BNL, are a group of armed militants who operate mainly in Cross River and Akwa Ibom States. They are made up of ethnic Ibibios, Efiks, and Orons. They are agitating that the two States be part of Biafra when it emerges.

Although the group is not associated with with other Biafran groups such as IPOB and MASSOB, they have demanded in the past that all Biafran agitators held by the Nigerian government, including IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, be released. The group also does not recognize the authority of Cameroun over the Bakassi peninsula, part of which they control, and have had clashes with the Camerounian Army.

Another odd thing about BNL is that they like to hoist the Biafran flag sideways, rather than upright. Nobody is sure who leads the group

What if Nigeria never had oil? These three things would have happened

1. Northern Nigeria would have been the first area in Nigeria to secede and declare independence

2. The civil war would not have been fought

3. Nigeria would have been richer than it is today

Mr Chukwuemeka is an indigene of Mbieri in Imo State. He is also a journalist and proprietor of Nnamehn Tv that espouses the "Unify Igbos Now" project. Basically, what Chukwuemeka does is to visit Igbo speaking areas outside the South East to relate and discuss their Igboness, and interview the indigenes

So far, he has been to Ika in Delta State, Igbanke in Edo, Oha-obu in Akwa Ibom, Obigbo, Ndoki, Etche, Ahoada, Ikwerre in Rivers and many more

However, Chukwuemeka has come under a barrage of online attacks, not from the people he visits, but from mainly Ijaw and Bini elements who are claiming that the places he is visiting are their territory. The Binis are claiming that all the Igbo speaking areas of Delta state, as well as Igbanke and Ikwerre, are their Descendants, and are thereforr Bini people, while the Ijaws are claiming that much of the Igbo speaking people of Rivers state such as Ndoki, Egbema, Etche, Omuma and even Oha-obu in Akwa-Ibom are their descendants.

They have threatened Chukwuemeka's life, reported his channel for hate speech when he never used hate, claimed that he was distorting history and forcing people to become Igbo

Chukwuemeka took to his YouTube channel in the video below to question why people are threatening his life just because he goes to interview people he shares language and cultural affinity with. He wondered how he is forcing people to be Igbo when he only has a microphone and Camera.

HUNDREDS of women from Ekakpamre community in Ughelli South local Government Area of Delta State, have called on the federal and state governments to rescue them from the incessant attacks and gang raping of women by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

The mostly aged women during the protest weilded fresh leaves and placards with inscriptions such as, “We do not want Cows in our bush” “They Graze on our land” “We are being raped and chased from our farms”, they accused security agencies of supporting the herdsmen against them.

The Leader, Mrs. Loveth Boyi while addressing newsmen said, “For over 3 years now, Fulani herdsmen have been troubling us, chasing us from our farmlands.

“Just last week, five women were raped in their farms and as a result, we can no longer access our cassava farms, either to plant or harvest.

“The herdsmen will harvest our cassava and other farm produce and give to their cattle, our husbands are not going to the bush, hence we are calling on the state and federal governments to rescue us from the shackle of herdsmen in the community.”

Mama Blacky Raymond, an Octogenarian who twisted her kneel due to the herdsmen attack stressed that she can no longer get access to her farm after she was chased from her farm.

On his part, the President General of the Community, Edafe Kpohraror said, “The women are on this protest because herdsmen have continued to chase them from their farmlands.

“There is one Imam in the Community that is using the police and army to intimidate us, and as result, many people have fled the town because of possible arrest.

“We are appealing to the State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to rescue our community from the attack of herdsmen.” Edafe pleaded

I was surprised that Ikwerres, some of whom claim not to be Igbo, posted that they were going to celebrate New yam festival in Akpor

Look at their poster below

New Yam Festival - Iri Iji Ikhe

Traditional ruler of Akpor - Eze Levi Ozonwunwo

Ikwerre Peoples Association(IPA) have celebrated their New Yam festival in Houston Texas, USA.

Amongst those who attended the event were the Chairperson of the event, Mrs Nneka Obi Wali, IPA Houston president, Dr Kemka Hekerem, Vice President , Dr Chisa Echendu, Secretary, Rosemary Amadi

I dont know what is hard for Nigerians ti understand about IPOB?

Nnamdi Kanu's message is simple, "Nigeria has irredeemably failed, seek a new beginning out of Nigeria"

Can any Nigerian say that Nigeria is a success story? Nigeria is poverty capital of the world, 8th most terrorised and insecure country on earth

Yet when Nnamdi Kanu says that his people should be allowed democratic referendum for them to peacefully exit this colossal failure of a country, some people will call for his head

Why? Is 'one Nigeria' by force? If it is by force, how do you expect peace?

If is not by force, give us referendum

You cannot be in China and France at tye same time.

Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB are not the problem, if Nigeria was working, they would not exist

The problem are Nigerians who can see that Nigeria is an unworkable disaster but want people like Nnamdi Kanu to shut up and accept such failure as their portion in life

Thats never going to happen, neither is 'one Nigeria by force'

The day Igbo realizes they are the weakest link in Nigeria is the day they are delivered. Just like everyone has noticed, they have almost abandoned their region and focused on developing other regions. Why? Something is wrong with them.

We don't practice state of residence but state of origin in Nigeria. I can count up to 25 or more Igbos in my secondary school who are my mates out of 50 in Lagos State. The last time we got together, about 15 out of these people have been to their state of origin for a max of 3 days or did not bother to go. Yet, they comfortably fill their SE states as their origins in all their documents, but they know nothing about the place. And they go online shouting Igbo men should be president every time.

Many of them left Nigeria and did not return, but they go online causing wahala. They even make their children born abroad who have not visited Nigeria think every other person hates Igbo. But these people abandoned their places and they aren't still ready to return. Why?

To date, I do not understand the reason. They are the only region that thinks they must be the president because they deserve it. Did the other regions think they deserve it or contest? Lol. They want to be the president only during elections, but either want Biaf4a nation or a military takeover after losing elections. Tell me, who will want to put your kind of people in charge of the affairs of the nation?

It baffles me how those who claim to be Igbo that are not born in Nigeria support the useless ones at home.

The Igbo I know are good people, but when they refuse to fight bad people among them, do they expect others just give Igbo the presidency? Igbo caused war because of greediness and they are still. Who will ever allow such kind of people to rule over them?

Let Igbo think it through well. Let the good ones among them do something. I don't see any Igbo becoming the president of Nigeria in the next 20 years, and it can easily be extended to the next 100 years.

The best for Igbo is to find a way to create their nation if they are not ready to contest elections fairly, but they should do it without violence. Let them go and try it. This is my prayer for them, and let us see what will become of the Biafra nation. We will see how they will use the oil they always talk about when they aren't the majority of oil owners in Nigeria. They have forgotten about agriculture entirely.

I dont understand it....they abandoned their region, and live in other regions, and they are shouting that they want Biafra nation. Are they normal? So, if they create Biafra nation, do they still expect to live freely the way they live in other regions enjoying subsidies and other free supports? If their hosts chase them out of their places after having Biafra, what will they do?

Oh...I forgot...they always think they are entitled to everything. Oh....they will carry placards and go online saying they hate Igbos. Lol. Yes, they can have Biafra nation and still dominate other regions na.... Lol. Oh...they can even conquer other regions they occupy now since they thibk they are the ones building the regions. Very foolish way of acting. How can you leave your region and say you build other regions. Lol.

Seriously, the Igbo would drive themselves into extinction cos of their greediness. Greed is bad. How can they be too money conscious and abandon their states? It doesn't make sense.

They will soon attack me because of this post. The truth is very bitter.

This is to show you the fraud "one Nigeria" is. You are asking why Igbos left their Region develop other Regions? Really? What is "one Nigeria" then all about if all Nigerians dont make meaningful contribution wherever they reside in Nigeria?

Go about in Nigeria and tell me any Region that managed to develop anywhere in that Region that does not have federal or state capital status? But the Igbo man developed Nnewi, Onitsha and Aba without any of them needing to be capital of anywhere. Tell us that place you developed in your Region that did not need to be capital?

Igbos want to be President only during elections then talk about Biafra later? There are Yorubas agitating for Oduduwa Republic, did that stop a Yoruba man being President today?

This Presidency you people keep talking about all the time as if it is gold dust from heaven, how did it benefit those who held it in the past? Has the Presidency helped the common man? Is life in Nigeria better? But everyday you people will be shouting about Presidency as if it is oxygen that gives life

Igbos go to other Region's to do that the business you cannot do, to make that money you cannot make. You sit down in your comfort zone and criticise those who fearlessly cross seven seas to make their fortune because you know you cannot do what they do. Leave your area and go other areas and make money lets see the stuff you are made of

Self determination is recognised in international and local laws and Igbos have every right to pursue independence from the disastrous failure called Nigeria, as Biafra

accordadoga26:
They constantly want the downfall of our beloved country.

They are delighted in hearing bad news about Nigeria.

They want Nigeria to burn down.

Every good news about Nigeria makes them sad.

They address Nigeria as ZOO but yet they want to sit in Aso Rock.

Thier ill-manners have already ruined their chances of producing a president.

When it's 2095 and their great great great grandchildren start asking them why they never in the history of Nigeria produced a president, dem go explain tire, no evidence

Those that have produced President have nothing to show for it and are suffering on the same level as those who did not produce President

If you guys are not happy with Igbos, allow them to go their way as Biafra, rather than keep Igbos in your useless 'one Nigeria' and be complaining about them all the time

Emergingnation:
They can only decieve the gullible unity beggars, especially the Yoruba Muslims ones..

What surprises me are the fools that will actually believe this nonsensical story by the Nigerian Army

Look at the old pipe the Nigerian Army wants you to believe is a rocket launcher/Ogbunigwe


Look at who the Nigerian Army wants you to believe are IPOB fighters, two teenage girls, a teenage boy and an old man


Look at the jeep the Nigerian Army wants you to believe that IPOB are driving inside a thick forest, I can even see electric wires

The whole thing is a laughing joke

Yesterday the Nigerian Army pit out this statement accompanied with these pictures:

TROOPS RAID IPOB/ESN CAMPS IN ANAMBRA/IMO, DESTROY HIDEOUTS, TRAINING CAMPS.

In ongoing operations to deter enforcement of the illegal sit at home declared by Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and and its armed wing, Eastern Security Network (ESN), combined troops of 82 Division Nigerian Army, sister Services, Nigeria Police and other security agencies have successfully raided hideouts and training camps belonging to IPOB/ESN in Orsomoghu Forest spanning Anambra and Imo States.

The raid operation was carried out on Monday 31 July 2023, when troops were alerted to the violent activities of the irredentist group enforcing the illegal 2 weeks sit-at-home order in Onitsha, Nnewi and Iheme Obosi in Anambra State, as well as New Market in Enugu state.

During the raid operations, the troops cleared IPOB camps in Ekeututu, Orsomoghu, Lilu and Mother Valley camps of the dissidents. Troops came in contact with the group's armed fighters, who detonated Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) also known as Ogbunigwe and fired using locally fabricated mortar tube. The valiant troops however overpowered the irredentist group in the firefight, compelling them to abandon their position as they fled with gunshot wounds into nearby bushes. Further cordon and search of the hideouts by the troops, led to the arrest of five fleeing members of the group and recovery of one IPOB flag, one CCTV camera and 2 detonated IED bombs and a fabricated mortar tube.
Sadly, five soldiers and two Nigeria Police operatives sustained varying degrees of injuries from the IED detonated by the criminals.

The Nigerian Army encourages all law abiding citizens of the South East to continue to support ongoing operations with actionable information and to disregard the unlawful 2 weeks sit-at-home order by going about their normal daily activities and businesses. The Nigerian Army in synergy with sister services and security agencies will undauntedly continue to protect and safeguard lives and property of the good and enterprising people of South East Nigeria, within the ambit of the law and the rules of engagement.

The Nigerian Labour Cobgress(NLC) is gearing up for mass protest. Ordinarily, peaceful protest is a constitutional right in a democracy, but in Nigeria it is democrazy they practice

If NLC embarks on protest, there is a good chance the Nigerian government will roll out the Army or Police to shoot innocent protesters

Therefore, rather than turn protesters into shooting targets for the Nigerian Army, NLC should consider using sit at home, as is done in the South East

I have never heard that anyone was attacked in their home during sit at home, your house is the safest place you can be

Please, if NLC cannot guarantee the lives of the people, let them consider sit at home and save lives.

BERNIMOORE:
Today His Eccentricity Nyenson Wike was cleared for Minister, apart from winning his state for APC and made Atiku lost woefully in Rivers, he went ahead to also win Governorship and all 25 seats wholesale kpatakpata ....Now some Igbos who think they can try wike and he dealt with them has taken it upon themselves to always tackles him but he keeps disgracing them with appointments and godfather powers he
Some lame ipob were referring to his video where he said that he doesn't want to be a minister or vice president and using it against him, but going through the video you realized that Wike was responding to offer from Atiku that Wike will get a ministerial position but should allow PDP take the Rivers structure and sponsor his campaign... Wike on the other hand who needs more than that wants the PDP national chairman to be nominated and fixed by him, reason being that Rivers money for campaign can be accounted for effectively... Atiku only wanted to give ministerial position and not the chairmanship... So wike was responding to Atiku's offer that its not enough.....that he will not become a minister I'd that's the only offer....because he can negotiate ministerial position with opposition with his powerless but..some disgruntled Igbos were pained that after wike left their Atiku in the dust of defeat... He went on to get Minister under Tinubu.....now he is both minister and River s godfather...

How will this reduce the price of Garri? Abi na minister we chop?

Whats the point of who will be the next President or vice President if hunger has killed all of us by then?

They couldn't develop anywhere without government help

Eyaaa...

Evil men like Omenka, helineus, Durochang, Afamed, Manngrill, Ttalk are somewhere in the SE scanning everywhere with microscope...videoing people flogging small girls...

...calling Obi and Oby to say something...

..but here now..100 dead and they are not concerned... not here yet...

I have never seen these type of people before...

How can they be concerned? There only job is to use insecurity to demarket the South East

You have pay them for them to be concerned that 100 people were killed in Plateau State

imamuddeen:
i want to hear ur views on the 1966 coup that lead to the civil war?

You people like to lament as if Nigeria was thr only country that had military coup, almost every country in Africa had military coup

SOSinNigeria:
Since the federal government has chosen to be irresponsible in its primary duties of protecting lives and properties of people in SE. Can't the SE governors and Ohanaeze jointly use diplomatic channels to seek for Ekpa's Arrest and deportation?

Or isn't there enough evidence to indict this terrorist and make him answer for his crimes against humanity?

I used to think that Finland is a country that thrives on rule of law and respect to the sanctity of life. However, harboring this terrorist in their country has rubbished that reputation.

There is no way Ohanaeze is going to join any effort to bring Simon Ekpa back to Nigeria, they know it will only make things worse

Ezeama400:
After English language, what Language Is Most Spoken In Southern Nigeria and states where they are spoken ?

Broken English

Razgas:
I mean excellent roads
Clean streets
Water and electricity
Industries
Good schools and universities
Good hospitals
High level of security
Government accountability
Credible elections
Law abiding citizens
Middle income
Low or no bigotry

When?

As developed as any European country? You have no unity, no peace, No security, no rule of law. How will you develop as any European country?

plaindealer:


Meaningless rubbish from 2021 did not condemn ongoing terrorist sit-at-home slavery going on in the SE today.

You people are really sick.

Cowards.

As I said, Dr Oby Ezekwesili will not bring her self down to the level if you guys that only care about using insecurity in a particular area, the South East, to play games, she has long passed that level

If you cannot condemn insecurity in all parts of Nigeria it exists, like Oby Ezekwesili, and only expect people to condemn insecurity in the South East, then you need serious help

plaindealer:
Seriously, do you really have to be the president to speak and condemn terrorists and terrorist acts in your own community?

So you need presidential powers to do that?

The brand of deception, cowardice, tribalism and intentional bigotry in that part of Nigeria is out of this world.

She is not going to come down to you peoples level, those who only use insecurity for games. Those who are blind to insecurity all over Nigeria except the South East. Oby Ezekwesili has condemned insecurity in all parts of Nigeria several times on Twitter. She isnt you guys who who make insecurity a South East affair
