Politics2019: No Restructuring, No Votes In South-east - Igbo Groups. by Masterclass32(op): 5:20am On Dec 19, 2016
A coalition of pressure and socio-political
groups in the South-East on the banner of the
Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA, has
made the restructuring of the country, a
major condition for backing any candidate or
political party in the 2019 general elections.

Rising from a meeting in Enugu, the Enugu
State Capital, leaders of the groups, who
lamented the killings of Igbo people in many
parts of the country and refusal of the
Federal Government to punish the culprits,
said Nigeria cannot afford to continue with the unitary system of government. Held at the residence of Chief Mrs. Maria
Okwor, the meeting had in attendance
leaders of the Clergy, Christian Association,
CAN, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN,
town unions, students groups, women
associations, youth organizations and traders unions. Also present at the meeting were relatives
of Ndubisi Uzoma, who was beheaded by
Fulani herdsmen, last week, in Abuja and
Pastor Mike Agbahime, who decried the
release of Dauda and co who murdered his
74 year old wife, Bridget, in Kano last June. In a communique by Mrs. Maria Okwor and
secretary of ECA, Evang. Elliot Ugochukwu-
Uko, the ECA said ”the continued pretence
by the central government that the loss of
faith in unitary Nigeria as shown by various
agitations for secession can be resolved through force of arms is childish and actually
paints government as unserious and
insincere about the need to save Nigeria’s
future. Every adult in Nigeria, knows
Nigeria’s survival is hinged only on a
sincere restructuring of the polity along the lines of regional autonomy, anchored on true
fiscal federalism according to the 1963
constitution. Continuous delay in restructuring
Nigeria only deepens the acrimony, distrusts
and fears presently ruling the land.” The leaders also tasked the Sultan of Sokoto,
Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubabakar 111,
who is visiting Enugu, today, on the killings of
Igbo in the North and menace of Fulani
herdsmen. They said: ”As a new awareness slowly but
certainly emerges from the ashes of these
trying period, we warn our leaders without
followers that their 46 years old self-centred
agenda and mindless exploitation of the
masses’ helplessness has abruptly come to an end, as they have to key in to the
people’s demand of political restructuring
of Nigeria, if they want to truly lead the
people. ”No politician who is not in support of
restructuring Nigeria will receive votes in
Igbo land, from ward elections, through state
and National legislative elections to
governorship and presidential elections. Our
people will only vote for freedom from eternal slavery henceforth.” It condemned the release of Dauda Ahmed
and co, who were charged for the murder of
74 year old Bridget Agbahime in Kano on
June 2 2016, and urge both the Kano state
government and the Federal government to
re-arrest and retry the five murderers and bring to justice the killers of Mrs Agbahime
as earlier promised by President
Muhammadu Buhari. The ECA also condemned the non arrest and
prosecution of Fulani Herdsmen who
beheaded and carted away the head of citizen
Ndubisi Uzoma in Iddo, airport road Abuja
last week over incessant altercations with
Fulani herdsmen due to the destruction of his farms. It stated that the continuous refusal by
government to set up a Judicial commission
of enquiry as demanded by the Senate,
Amnesty International and others, over the
extra-judicial killings of Igbo youths
especially on February 9, 2016 at National High School Aba and St Edmonds Catholic
Church Nkpor on May 30, 2016 has earned
the secessionist groups more sympathy and
painted government as the villain. ”The current government strategy of ‘we
have enough ammunition to deal with you
people’ exemplified by military operations
named after all kinds of reptiles, is clearly
not working. Identifying and addressing the
issues that has led millions of young people to lose faith in Nigeria remains the only
solution to resolving these agitations.
Military solution only exacerbates it,” it
added.

Crime'My Life Is In Danger' - Pst Agbahime, Husband Of Igbo Woman Killed In Kano. by Masterclass32(op): 8:31pm On Dec 16, 2016
ENUGU—Pastor Mike Agbahime, husband of
Bridget Agbahime, the Igbo woman who was
killed in Kano by suspected Islamic youths,
has cried out that his life is now in danger,
following an allegation that the killers of his
wife are now after his life so as to cover the matter from further prosecution.

The suspected killers of Bridget Agbahime led
by one Dauda were recently set free by a
Kano State magistrate court. Pastor Agbahime in a press conference
organized by an Igbo group, Eastern
Consultative Assembly, ECA, in Enugu
yesterday, alleged that the plot to kill him
was because he is a principal witness to the
murder. He was present at the scene of the murder and knows the suspects one on one. Agbahime said: “After the burial of my wife
in Imo state, I went back to Kano and I was
told they want to kill me since I was the
principal witness. I confirmed the plot before
I left Kano. “I want justice done in the matter. They
killed my wife in my presence, yet the court
presumed them innocent. The south east
governors, the Senators, and interest groups
should rise up to get the culprits re-arrested
and tried. “I know Dauda and all those that killed my
wife but now, they are telling me they are
not guilty. Based on what law did they
pronounce him innocent? “The suspects confessed and Dauda
mentioned those that participated in the
killing but up till now, they have not been
arrested since police has finished
investigation. “On that day, the group of boys chanting
Alla kubahu overtook that shopping plaza,
climbed upstairs, pulled down the iron with
which they killed my wife.” Secretary of the Eastern Consultative Forum,
Elliot Ukoh warned that it was the failure of
successive governments in matters as that of
Bridget that brought about agitation for self
determination in Eastern Nigeria. “Failure to bring the suspects to book
justifies IPOB. It is one the reasons there is
agitation for Biafra,” said Ukoh.

Politics'Before We Travel For Christmas': Word To The Igbos. by Masterclass32(op): 5:56am On Dec 14, 2016
Last Saturday was a sobering day
for me. I had intended it to be a
joyous one, as I joined other
notable Igbo sons and daughters,
and several non-Igbo guests of
theirs to celebrate the transfer of the mantle of leadership of Aka
Ikenga – that deeply intellectual
pan-Igbo socio-political and cultural
pressure group.
The mantle of leadership was
changing from one prominent Igbo son, Chief Goddy Uwazuruike (SAN)
to another prominent son, Barr.
Charles Odunukwe (Okemmiri),
who happens to be a brother from
another mother.
Now, the history of the 28-year-old Aka Ikenga (as summarised by
Gentleman Oscar Ndiwe) or the
pledge by Odunukwe in his brief
acceptance remark on behalf of the
new executive committee, or what
former governor Peter Obi told the gathering, or the wake-up call from
Prof. Pat Utomi, etc. are topics for
another day.
But like I said earlier, it was a
sobering experience for me – made
more so by a leaflet shared at the Colonnades Hotel poolside venue by
the Oganiru Igbo Development
Initiative (OGADI).
It was titled “BEFORE YOU TRAVEL
FOR CHRISTMAS… We wish to
remind you about the following”. And it went on to enumerate the
pitiable lot of Ndigbo in Nigeria.
Mind you, it did not focus on the fact
that the South-east has the worst
federal roads in the country, nor on
the lopsided appointments of the President Muhammmadu Buhari
regime. No!
Its focus was on the way the
Nigeria state unleashes its security,
military and para-military agencies
on the people and region of the South East zone, with almost every
new policy seemingly aimed at
reminding Ndigbo that they are a
conquered people.
For instance, it reminded Ndigbo:
“Over 100 police check points, other security agencies and state
revenue agents are mounted and
waiting for you on the road from
South West, North Central, North
East and North West, as you travel
to the South East for Christmas.” So, it further added: “Please,
check your vehicle particulars and
make sure they are genuine and up
to date.”
Painfully, that your particulars are
genuine and up to date is no guarantee that the federal agents
would not stop, detain, brutalise
you and confiscate your vehicles.
Despite that the proactive new
Inspector General of Police, Mr.
Ibrahim Idris, has dismantled check points and warned that policemen
should not ask motorists for
particulars, it would not stop
anything. And if you think you
know the IGP, I’m sorry for you.
Before you make that all-important call, the criminal policemen would
have either extorted or robbed you
– and if you’re unlucky, even kill
you and drive off without a trace.
After the police, you’ll have to
face the customs, especially now that they have banned importation
of rice and vehicles through land
borders. Even though the most
viable smuggling routes are not
found in Lagos and Ogun states,
those are the places where the Customs men (and women) would
be concentrating on. What that
means is that every bag of rice or
vehicle headed eastward this
season stands confiscated as
contraband, until proven otherwise. In fact, even if it’s only one bag of
rice you’re carrying, so long as
the security agent you’re
unfortunate to run into has need for
it, then it automatically becomes
contraband. You’ll not only lose it, but may also need to ‘settle’, to
avoid being arrested as well.
And the cars, even if you’ve used
your car for the last 10 years in
Nigeria (or even if you just bought
it, mint-fresh, from Coscharis, Elizade, Globe Motors, Dana or
Honda Place, it would still be
considered smuggled in. I had a
terrible experience in Benin City
recently with my official car, which
is barely one year old. The documents the Customs men asked
for were documents nobody has
ever asked me of in my over 20
years of owning a car. And you
know what? As stupid as it
sounded, they had statutes that backed them up.
No wonder a policeman jocularly
told me, a few years ago, to find
him “something” or he would
detain me, claiming there were, at
least, 46 items he could demand for, “if I wanted to prove that I knew
the law” and that he was sure
there would be one that I
wouldn’t have. Don’t ask me if I
paid!
And that is not saying anything about the VIOs. Once those ones
stop you, you automatically get a
receipt. And it is whatever they say
is your offence that it is. They are
also free to charge you any fine.
Luckily, those ones, at least, in Lagos, do not take bribe. They ask
you to go pay into a bank account.
That is the new form of state
robbery that has emerged, as state
governors look to shore up their
internally generated revenues, from the same hapless citizens
whose collective wealth they have
looted. And in this season of
recession! It appears these
governments are determined to try
people’s patience! Now, juxtapose these harrowing
experiences with the lot of traders,
who have to move their wares
from the Lagos ports, for instance,
eastward regularly. You then
don’t need a professor to tell you why nothing works in the South
East. Why goods are so expensive.
Why the youths are so restive. Why
Nnamdi Kanu is a hero. Why
nothing outside of IPOB and Biafra
makes meaning to the army of employable but unemployed
youths.
We already know that the hope of a
seaport in Onitsha is a pipe dream.
We know that the South East was
wickedly excluded from our initial national gas master-plan, but must
the Federal Government unleash its
agents to make sure that even the
distributive trade, where the south
easterners find real succour does
not also thrive? How far to the edge do we really want to push a
people? And yet, we still do not
even want them to cry out! Haba!
My elementary knowledge of
European history tells me that one
of the major reasons the country called United Netherlands could not
see the light of day was that
Belgian manufacturers could not
share the same interest as sea-
faring, trading Dutch men. They
went their separate ways. Today, however, the sane world has found
a way to protect local
manufacturers while not
strangulating import-minded
traders; why is Nigeria’s case
different? Why is the trader so abhorred? Why must he be forced
to use a seaport that is reputed to
charge some of the most exorbitant
fares on the face of the earth, when
there are alternative land borders?
Why can’t Nigeria arrest and deal with Customs men, who, for selfish
reasons, fail to collect the right
duties at the borders, after taking
bribes? Why must the Igbo, who
have the least chance of ever
making it into the Nigerian Customs employ now be made to pay for the
rot of the Nigerian system?
Whatever good we see with
traders in the town, must have
passed through some officers at the
ports, right? Or do the customs men collect bribe at the border, and
then come into town to hound the
same people who settled them at
the border posts? Chasing with the
hunt and running with the hound?
But like the OGADI leaflet said: “Avoid the purchase of contraband
goods and fake vehicle clearance
documents from agents and third
parties to avoid seizures or
creating opportunities for extortion
on the highway by over 100 Customs patrol checkpoint teams on
our road to the East.”
But, I dare add, in a country that
manufactures nothing, where
industries have either folded up or
relocated to Ghana and China, just what is not a contraband?
May god save us. …And lest we forget Virtually a quarter of the used cars
that come into the country come
with tinted glasses. That is another
oil block for the policemen.
Although, there are procedures for
getting a permit for your tinted glass, try getting one and see how
very ‘easy’ it is.
Somebody called me from Aba,
Abia State, a few months back, to
narrate his ordeal. Those in Aba
would have to travel to Umuahia the state capital to get the permit.
They could spend the whole day
there and still come back empty
handed. They would have to lodge
in that town for two to three days
before they can be processed. And while that is on, they dare not drive
the car.

Politics'Resentment Lies At The Heart Of Nigerian Unity Challenges' - Odein Ajumogobia. by Masterclass32(op): 5:35am On Dec 14, 2016
Deep-rooted resentment among the
various ethnic nationalities in Nigeria,
particularly by the Igbo against the others,
dating back to the Nigerian civil war, has
been identified as one of the reasons for
the country’s unity challenges and stunted growth. Former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Odein
Ajumogobia made the remark at the public
presentation of a book, The Land of My
Birth by Abraham Nnadi, held in Lagos.
While speaking at the event, Ajumogobia
observed that the book examined the undercurrent of ethnic tensions, which still
exertsprofound negative impact on
national unity but stressed that Nigerians
have chosen to ignore them. Describing the book as a historical novel
set after the civil war, Ajumogobia said the
book reflects on the war, village and
communal lives of the Igbo people during
this period. He observed that the book’s
treatment of issues such as the blockage the eastern seaports that resulted in
widespread starvation in the East, and the
20 pound account balance for all account
holders of Igbo extraction after the war
highlighted the author’s grasp of issues
and his power of observation in very great details.

“These are some of the things people
may not consider to be politically correct,
but they are issues we ought to think
about, and reflect on in terms of when we
talk about Nigeria’s unity and bringing us
together as a people,” Ajumogobia said, adding that Nigerians have to face these
facts and reconcile before the country can
move forward. Nnadi explained that as a result of the war,
owning a building was consider essential
for the average Igbo man, even if it was
the most simple of structures. He attributed this thinking to the perpetual
fear of another pogrom and civil war in the
country. Nnadi, however, observed that
the present generation’s single-minded
pursuit of money without principles or
moral is giving the Igbo nation an image many are not proud of. He said the search
for heroes among the survival of the war
has given birth to young men and women
who, in the process of making money,
have allow money to rule them. “This is a painful harvest, “ he said.At
the event, Sir Emeka Nwokedi and the
Lagos City Chorale rendered several
melodious songs to the delight of guests
such as former Vice President, Cmdr. Ebitu
Ukiwe, Admiral. Ndubuisi Kanu and Prof. Pat Utomi, Prof. Anya Anya, Dr. Alex Otti,
Major Gen. Adewumi Ajibade, Onyeka
Onwenu and Chief Ferdinand Agwu.

PoliticsIgbo Warlord, Achuzia Reveals Origin Of 'Biafra'. by Masterclass32(op): 8:38am On Dec 11, 2016
Biafran warlord and Secretary-General of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, world-
wide, Col Joe Achuzia, has revealed where
the word ‘Biafra’ orgininated from. The civil war hero said he was proud to be
addressed as “a Biafran” as that reflected
his true identity. According to him, “You see people tend to
forget the paradox about the Igbo. The word
Igbo is not a tribal identity, it is linguistic
identity. It is a language of a people
collectively residing in the eastern region
that used to be known as Southern Sudan. From the 14th, 15th, 16th century, the area
was known as Southern Sudan. That is where
the people known as Biafrans lived, hence
the Bight of Biafra.

“There would never have been a Bight of
Biafra if there were no inhabitants occupying
the mainland. I’m not here pleading a cause
for Biafra. No, I’m only taking you to
historical antecedents.”

Asked why he joined the fight for the
secession of Biafra from Nigeria between
1967 to 1970, the elder statesman said, “No,
we fought for survival. Biafra never fought
or did not attempt to break away from the
Lugardian set up known as Nigeria. No! We, from the south east fought to prevent us
from being exterminated in an effort to push
us out of the federation. That we
remembered out past, the thought came to
our succour because when a people are
under pressure of extermination, history comes to their assistance.” “How did our forefathers survive under the
pressure that we had at the time from
colonial masters? How did they survive?
They survived by recollecting who they
were and pulled together, hence the mark on
our faces. Those marks differentiate the people who are Biafrans. Each community
has a peculiar mark even though nowadays,
we don’t do it anymore but it is engraved
in our heart. “And that is why we resolved that we
cannot fight individually as Nigeria wanted us
then. We had to fight collectively as Biafrans.
Biafra wasn’t coined to break up Nigeria,
no”, he told Vanguard.

PoliticsWe Have No Issues With Pro-biafra Agitators - Gov. Obiano. by Masterclass32(op): 7:10am On Dec 09, 2016
Awka —GOVERNOR Willie Obiano said yesterday that his administration has no
issues with the groups agitating for the
actualization of Republic of Biafra, insisting
that the concern of the state government was
to make Anambra State conducive for
investors.

Speaking through his commissioner for
information and communications strategy,
Ogbuefi Tony Nnacheta at a news conference
in Awka, Obiano also denied the allegation
that he instigated the military exercise code-
named Operation Python Dance to diminish the struggle of the pro-Biafra agitators. The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, had, in
a statement by its Spokesperson, Mr. Emma
Powerful, said his group would hold the South
East governors responsible if anything
happened to anybody in the zone because,
according to him, the Federal Government and the Nigeria Army could not have
deployed weapons in all the parts of South
East without the consent of the state
governors.

But Obiano said yesterday: “It is incorrect
for some persons to suggest that Anambra
State is at war or loggerheads with any sect,
persons or organizations on account of the
ongoing military training exercise. Rather,
the officers and men of the Nigerian Army are enjoined to discharge their duties with
courtesy, thereby earning the respect of our
people in the entire Southeast. “We are informed that an elaborate civil –
military cooperation line of operation has
been planned during the exercise. The
Anambra State government will at all times
ensure that the rights and comfort of our
people, which are non-negotiable, are respected by all and sundry. “The on-going exercise by the Nigerian
Army in the South East is being
misinterpreted by some persons as an
exercise designed to inconvenience the Igbo
and in particular Anambra people. Exercise
Python Dance is a routine military exercise by the Nigerian Army in the South East of
Nigeria and not only in Anambra state. “Similar exercises had also taken place in
other geopolitical zones of the country
without any incident or controversy.”

PoliticsWhen Python Goes Dancing: Opinion On The Operation Python Dance by Masterclass32(op): 7:26am On Dec 05, 2016
Pythons are a group of non-venomous
snakes that ambush and constrict their prey
to death, then swallow them whole.
True, python is a dangerous reptilian
creature. It belongs to the specie of divinely
cursed animals. It hates man so much it does not waste its precious time to bite him.
Rather it ambushes and constricts its prey to
death, then swallows them whole. Just as the
Nigerian state is wont, using its coercive and
most repressive instrument, the Nigerian
Army. In furtherance of its endemic hatred for the
Igbo, the Nigerian Army has engaged the
fearsome python in a bizarre dance east of
the Niger. The army began this weird dance
with pythons late last month in an exercise in
the five South East states, code-named ‘Exercise Python Dance’, ostensibly “to
checkmate anticipated rising wave of crimes
usually prevalent during the Yuletide.”
Naturally, there has been apprehension in
Igbo land as regards the true intention of the
exercise, especially when the army threatened that it would not hesitate to apply
the ‘Rule of Engagement’ to deploy troops
and appropriately deal with pro-Biafra
agitators. It is not only the Igbo that are
worried but all human rights organisations
have condemned this latest maneuvering against harmless, armless Igbo youths,
exercising their constitutional rights to
demand self-determination.
Ironically, this is coming after the recent
damning report of Amnesty International, AI,
which revealed continued mass massacre of innocent Igbo across the Nigerian state. The
AI report, entitled: Bullets were raining
everywhere”: Deadly repression of Pro-
Biafra activists, exposed extrajudicial killing
and torture of the Igbo by Nigerian security
forces, resulting in the death of about 150 pro-Biafra protesters in the last one year.
Instead of extricating itself from such
unflattering report after its initial lame denial
of the atrocious act, even as Biafra claim the
estimated victims was too conservative, the
Nigerian Army has brashly moved to entrench or continue Nigeria’s customary
pogrom against the Igbo, who have become
sport for the Nigerian authorities.
President Muhammadu Buhari just told a
delegation of some South East leaders that
the Biafran youths should forget Biafra because it is impossible to breakup Nigeria.
Much as I do not subscribe to the
president’s insincere reasons and
promises, I think he is right somehow. It is
my humble submission that most Igbo do not
actually wish for a dismembered Nigeria. Rather, they dream of a Nigeria where the
Igbo will be accorded their pride of place as
one leg of the tripod on which Nigeria stands
and live as equal stakeholders with full
dignity.
It is unfortunate how people play politics with just everything, including the collective
destiny of an entire race. Those people that
occupy front rows in mosques and churches
have simply refused to acknowledge
Nigeria’s sin against the Igbo. They have
remained obstinate in perpetuating this evil and claim or pretend not to notice but as
Dame Patience Jonathan would say, ‘there
is God o’.
However, the Igbo need a new strategy. We
cannot continue to call out unarmed youths to
march on the streets against Nigerian soldiers, who relish mauling them to death.
We cannot continue to preach hatred of
others whereas we clamour to be loved.
Seriously, we are all agreed that Biafra is
alive and can never die but in the present
circumstances, we should not be talking about an independent state of Biafra.
My reasons are many but most importantly,
as an apostle of homeward integration, the
Igbo will be worse off for it if the
independent state of Biafra materialises
today. How do we intend to run such a state when majority of Igbo investments are
offshore? Over the years, the Igbo had
developed their host communities more than
the indigenes. Many have assimilated the
cultures of other lands and neglected or
forgotten their own. Now, even such things as traditional marriages are conducted
outside their homesteads in other lands. Also,
the Igbo now have a stupid arrangement,
called Eze Ndigbo in the Diaspora. Arrant
nonsense! Have you seen Oba of Yoruba in
Onitsha? Or Emir of Hausa-Fulani in Aba? How can we seriously be claiming a Biafran
state that will wither at the birth table?
There is confusion everywhere. Today it is
Nnamdi Kanu? Who really is this young man,
who came from nowhere to dislodge his
fathers from IPOB, a group they laboured to form? What, truly, is his agenda? If I were
President Buhari, I would have since ordered
Kanu’s release from detention, as keeping
him in jail has enabled him to achieve his
feigned heroism.
Before it was Ralph Uwazurike but now, one Uchenna Madu claims to have driven
Uwazurike out MASSOB, a movement
Uwazurike founded and used to reignite the
Biafra agitation. Even the Nnamdi Kanu he
made Director of Radio Biafra betrayed him.
This subterfuge, blackmail, sabotage and selfishness can never give us Biafra. Even
though Uwazurike may not be perfect
(nobody is), his non violence template stands
a better chance of getting us to Biafra
overtime. It is suicidal to incite youths to
confront armed soldiers, because as they say, only a fool would dare a man with a
gun.
Let the Igbo heal themselves before the talk
of Biafra. Nigerian armed forces kill the Igbo
with glee and nothing happens because there
is no strong voice to speak for us. Sadly, we scuttle the efforts of those that should speak
for us. That is how we have ended up with
political minions in the National Assembly.
Judge it yourself: Apart from Ikeoha,
Ekweremadu, how distinguished are those
people in the senate? How honourable are those in the House of Representatives? Are
they the best Igbo can afford? What is their
impact? How did they get there? Even the
governors, what manner of governance is
ongoing in Igbo land, tragicomic or downright
comic? And we want Biafra? Where will we get the leaders in Biafra land? We have to be
careful about this matter. Let us invest at
home. Let us stop developing other lands. Let
us recreate Nnewi in every town in Igbo
land. Let us love one another and eschew all
evil, including kidnapping and armed robbery that drive away interested investors. Let
wicked relations repent and all witch doctors
abandon their shrines and run to God as new
creatures.
We can then talk about Biafra or even not at
all because economic prosperity and freedom is higher than any other right. After all,
Buhari wanted power at all cost and got; yet
all he does is making a singsong of how
corrupt the Jonathan and gang he supplanted
were. Both Buhari and the power he
inherited had receded so fast people are now asking that their corruption be brought back.
It is certain that with economic freedom,
nobody would be talking about recession.
Nevertheless, the Nigerian Army can dance
with the python for as long as it desires.
Though it may ambush and constrict the Igbo to death, it can never swallow the Igbo
whole. The Igbo never slump; we die
standing, on our feet.

PoliticsChinedu Nebo: Nigeria Is Angry With Igbos' Growth, Development by Masterclass32(op): 6:37am On Dec 05, 2016
ENUGU-THE former Minister of Power, Professor Chinedu Nebo has said that there would be no Nigeria without Igboman, who were made special people by God to build economy of the country. He said that other ethnic nationalities in the country envy the Igbo nation because of their resourcefulness, dignity of labour and rich cultural heritage.


Professor Nebo who was also the former Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, made this known while speaking to newsmen at the South East Development and Leadership Initiative (SELDI) 2016 in Enugu with the theme “Integrating the Southeast Economy for Sustainable Growth and Development”.


Prof Nebo He urged all Igbo sons and daughters from different walks of life to return home and invest with a view of making our homeland great again.

“Nigeria is angry with the Igbo’s growth and development. It is obvious. It is only in Nigeria that a traditional ruler will open his mouth and say that if you do not vote for this person, then we will drown you and throw you into the lagoon. A traditional ruler who is suppose to be the promoter of peace and custodian of the people’s culture and tradition”.

“It is high time we woke up and believed in ourselves. The Igbos are great people all over the world. About 80% of Igbo wealth is in the Diaspora. We invest outside the country without coming back home. We need to adopt the “think home philosophy”, come back home and develop our land.

“We need to build and develop love for one another. The philosophy of “igwebuike” (togetherness) is still there. There shall be capacity for mentorship for our younger generation.


The former Minister, who described the summit as timely and apt, also advocated for an improved educational system that will ensure that capable individuals are produced from institutions of learning. “We need to build an educational system that is relevant. It is not just enough to churn out graduates into the labour market. We need to develop our education system and curriculum in science, innovation and mathematics”, he said.

In an address, the Lead Promoter of SELDI, Mr Ikenna Modebelu, said “SELDI’s vision recognizes the challenges of the southeast region and aims to tackle them by promoting leadership that will foster development in areas of investment, infrastructure development, economic growth, value re-orientation, emerging market opportunities and youth empowerment through intensive advocacy campaigns”.

“The promoters of SELDI believe that there is leadership deficit across all classes in the region including elites who have failed to lead by example. SELDI is committed to the “Think home, build home” philosophy and believes that time has come for the southeasterners to come together and join hands in developing the region for the good of present and future generations”, his address read.

PoliticsBiafra Republic Will Be My Last Words On Earth - Nnamdi Kanu. by Masterclass32(op):
Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) and Director of Radio Biafra/
Biafra television, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu has
vowed never to betray Biafrans or
abandon the fight for Biafra State. He said he would continue to reject materials
allegedly offered him to renounce Biafra
struggle until victory for Biafrans was
achieved. Kanu who spoke through his lawyer, Mr.
Ifeanyi Ejioffor said his prosecutors and
persecutors have come with many strategies
to trick him to sign off his quest for Biafra
and regain his freedom which he rejected
because of his love for the freedom of his people. “I have been battling with forces of
darkness both physically and spiritually since
I was arrested. They came with many
strategies just to trick me into signing off my
quest for Biafra and gain my personal
freedom. Little did they know that I am more intelligent and determined; I refused all their
offers because the freedom of my people,
Biafrans, is paramount to me and their
freedom is the freedom of Nnamdi Kanu. The
pains and agony of all Biafrans are the pains
and agony of Kanu.” “Prominent leaders, countries in the world
and those who don’t have the videos of the
killed Biafrans in their possession should go
to YouTube and watch the heinous crime
committed by the Nigeria Government and
her security agencies against peaceful members of IPOB during peaceful rallies and
demonstrations in all the Biafra cities of Aba,
Onitsha, Owerri, Igweocha (Port Harcourt),
Calabar, Uyo, Asaba, Enugu, Bayelsa and
other numerous cities. “The senseless killing of Biafrans is the
senseless killing of Nnamdi Kanu. The cry of
the Biafran youths is the cry of Nnamdi Kanu.
The joblessness of Biafrans after university
is the joblessness of Nnamdi Kanu. The
impoverishment and subjugation of all Biafrans is the impoverishment and
subjugation of Nnamdi Kanu. The child abuses
of Biafran children by the Hausa/Fulani cattle
headers is that of Nnamdi Kanu,” he stated. “The illegal detention of Biafrans in several
prisons both overseas and Nigeria is that of
Nnamdi Kanu. The sexual harassment of our
young ladies while seeking for jobs after
graduation is that of Nnamdi Kanu. The
rapping and killing of our mothers and sister in our farmland by the Hausa/Fulani cattle
headers is also that of Nnamdi Kanu. The
untimely death of Biafrans due to bad road
situations in Biafra Land is that of Nnamdi
Kanu.” Kanu continues: “The cries of our parents
living in the riverine areas they call South/
South due to the environmental damage
caused by Shell in our land is also that of
Nnamdi Kanu. The seizure of goods and
sleepless nights and pains of all the Biafrans importers in the hands of the Hausa/Fulani,
Yoruba customs and Police is that of Nnamdi
Kanu. “The stress that Biafrans pass through
while traveling for 8 hours to Lagos and
Abuja International Airports before they gain
access to travel abroad which in most cases
take many lives in the process while
traveling is that of Nnamdi Kanu. The heartbrake of Biafran business men and
women, importers and petty traders in Lagos
State due to intentional fire outbreaks caused
by haters of Biafrans, in their business places
in Lagos and another part of Nigeria is that of
Nnamdi Kanu,” he declared. “The cry of the Biafran families that lose
their children in Malaysia, Indonesia, China,
and India and other parts of the world due to
immigration and police intimidation is that of
Nnamdi Kanu. The death of Bafrans, those
trying to cross Sahara Desert and Mediterranean Sea to Europe in search of
greener pastures is that of Nnamdi Kanu. “The fake promises of all the politicians in
our villages and towns in (Biafran land) who
promise and deceive our parents during
election but always failing them after being
voted into power and all these problems that
affect all Biafrans are the problems of Nnamdi Kanu too,” the IPOB leader noted. “I want to say, thank you, thank you to our
mother from, Akwa-Ibom, Cross Rivers,
Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu,
Anambra, Imo, Abia states. I am grateful for
all our mothers because you gave birth to
these great men and women of honour, those sons and daughters that always protest for
my release under the Sun and rain. My
thanks to all the fathers too who allowed
their children to join (IPOB meetings) across
Biafra Land,” Kanu applauded.

PoliticsIgbo Can Achieve Biafra Through Unity: Al-mustapha by Masterclass32(op): 10:11am On Nov 28, 2016
Former Chief Security Officer, CSO, to ex-
Military Head of State, late Gen Sani Abacha,
Major Hamza Al- Mustapha, has advised the
Igbo race to be united in order to achieve
their purpose. Mustapha made the appeal yesterday at this
year’s Odumegwu Ojukwu’s memorial
service in Owerri, Imo State.

Noting that Ojukwu was a committed military
leader, the former CSO said the Igbo race has
all it takes to lead the world.

According to Mustapha, “In the absence of
unity of purpose, Ndigbo will end up wasting
their time and achieving practically nothing. “We equally feel the pains of Ndigbo. There
are palpable traces of poverty in every
street in this land”.
