CP Odumosu, Ndigbo are not Nigeria’s problem
ON MAY 13, 202110:40 AMIN TOTALLY REAL WITH IKECHUKWU AMAECHI
By Ikechukwu Amaechi

In his famous 1984 book titled, The Trouble With Nigeria, legendary novelist, Chinua Achebe, made a profound statement. “Nigerians of all other ethnic groups will probably achieve consensus on no other matter than their common resentment of the Igbo,” he wrote. Some people took umbrage, accusing him of overgeneralisation.

But Achebe who towers very high in the pantheon of novelists that elevated the delicate art of storytelling to the realm of prophecy knew what he was talking about. He wasn’t given to frivolities and never used words carelessly. While it is not true that individually, every Nigerian is involved in this conspiracy against Ndigbo, and Achebe didn’t say that either, there is no doubt that scapegoating Ndigbo for Nigeria’s woes is a national pastime. The tendency of reducing every national problem to an Igbo problem is rather too apparent for any discerning observer not to notice.

The 2020 #EndSARS protest by Nigerian youths against police brutality was suddenly framed by some devious people as a ploy by the Igbo to destroy Yoruba commonwealth even when most of the vandalised private businesses, particularly on the Lagos Island, belonged to Ndigbo. Without any proof, some were already baying for Igbo blood until well-meaning Yoruba elite intervened to save their skin.

Anyone who is still in doubt of the veracity of Achebe’s claim should just pause and reflect on the frightening spin that is gradually but inexorably being put on the ravaging insecurity in the land and it will be evident that Nigeria is a country where prejudice, particularly against the Igbo, oils the wheels of governance.

Suddenly, the insecurity that has left the North-East desolate and reduced Nigeria to a banana republic is being framed as a South-East problem. The National Security Council that has been clueless as to how to tame the monster rose from a meeting on Tuesday claiming to have found a secret formula to quell the agitation in the zone. Meanwhile, the South-East has no representative in the Council that took that all-important decision.

A day earlier, Lagos State government organised a security summit attended by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other high-ranking state officials, where, out of the blues, the Lagos State Police Commissioner, Hakeem Odumosu, accused members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and by extension Ndigbo, of plotting to launch attacks in Lagos State.

Delivering a paper on ‘Appraisal of Security Situation in Lagos State’, Odumosu alerted Lagosians of an impending plot by the IPOB to attack what he called soft targets in the state. It wasn’t even an allegation. He was emphatic and unequivocal. And because he had convinced himself that the plot was real, he disclosed that the threat by IPOB has been put on the radar of the Lagos State Police Command’s intelligence gathering and other security services. He didn’t say what the soft targets were. There was no shred of evidence to prop the incendiary claim, knowing full well how combustible the Nigerian situation is at the moment.

But that was not his problem. He knowingly flew a very dangerous kite to achieve a sinister motive, which is to pitch other ethnic nationalities in Lagos, particularly the Yoruba, against the Igbo. He was deliberately setting Ndigbo up.

All that is left now is for some fringe elements to cause mayhem in Lagos and Ndigbo will pay the price. Even when fringe elements don’t act, a vindictive government whose capacity for mischief is unmatched as it played out during the #EndSARS protest, has set the stage. All it needs to do now is unleash state sponsored hoodlums on the state whenever it chooses and the Igbo will be fall guys.

Odumosu also said the Lagos State Police Command had taken note of threats by agitators of Oodua Republic and other Yoruba separatist groups, claiming further that 24 of s

And on a more serious note... Why is rice still expensive?
The demand of rice is still very high and the supply is low which lead to high price.

The Igbo politicians will be disgrace by their breeds and they will die without be remember. I am very grateful for KANU for opening the eyed of the masses against these evils greedy Igbo politicians who are concerns about themselves. I support no election in south east until referendum date is announce.
Hope Biafra republic.

That is why I am in great support for Biafra republic. PDP has finished the country for 16 years and it is the turn of change to dry the country. How long are we going to be in this bondage? To me I see Biafra republic is the solution that south-east must be fighting to achieve. Nigeria is a zoo and only animals that allow pigs to rule them that will continue to say unity.

Enugu state is a disgrace to south east. The governor is just a hungry man that lack competency to even be a councillor. I don't blame him, I blame the he goat Sullivan Chime who try to cover his atrocities by putting that lazy fat pig there. Enugu state is state that does not has any plan economy agenda. I heart bleed for that policewoman that just lost her life due to these selfish politicians in Enugu state. I will advise the youths in Enugu state to embrace Biafra that is the way out of all these criminals politicians.

The afonjas are the lazy, uncreative and greedy sort of people on earth. They want the Igbo's to develop the whole Lagos for them. God will surely make the Igbo's be set free from this cankerworms. I will advise the Igbo's to emulate the Hausa's wherever they are doing business in other states. They hardly make that place developed and they will not build good structures. I pity the poor afonjas in Lagos because you are being sold. In short. You are slaves to Lagos god fathers. They have bought everything thereby turning your children to agberos and masquerades beggers. Afonjas , you will all be caught up with atrocities. You are doom.

The Biafra's will be a heaven in earth. Nigeria is a zoo for zombies and its time has expired. The bail conditions for my selfless leader cannot be fulfilled and Buhari and co should look for zombies to punish not my leader. I pray that the God of Isreal should punish,disgrace and exterminate any evil man that want to stop the cause of Biafra.
