OHANAEZE Ndigbo has lashed at Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa from Bauchi State over comments credited to him that Ndigbo deserve deaths and elimination from Nigeria for harbouring IPOB members who he tagged as rebels, criminals and arsonists.

Ohanaeze described Senator Bulkachuwa’s comments as a misguided attack on the South East people.

“The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has been drawn to caustic and inflammatory attacks made by Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa against the entire people of the South East, while appearing on a national television.

“Bulkachuwa, who is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and husband of the immediate past President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, was quoted as saying that Ndigbo in Nigeria deserve deaths and elimination because in his words, the South East habours criminals, rebels and arsonists.

”He said, rather than the Igbo getting the Presidency being agitated for by their people, what they deserve is elimination from Nigeria.

“It is shocking and unbelievable that a Senator and Chairman of a strategic Committee in the Senate, Foreign Affairs, could make such an incendiary attack against the Igbo people without any provocation whatsoever.

“The Igbo demand for the Presidency of Nigeria is within their rights under the laws of the land. They have not breached any section of the Constitution by making such demands.

“It is therefore gross gratuitous insult for Senator Bulkachuwa to rain such unguarded invectives against a major region in the country.

“I have tried to obtain some internet facts on Bulkachuwa, the only significant information on him is that on June 10, 2020, his constituents in Bauchi commenced a recall process on him; and no more.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo condemns Bulkachuwa unreservedly for spewing such hate speech on a major Nigerian ethnic group. It is highly inconceivable that a Senator and a husband of a former highly-placed judicial officer, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, would habour such evil wish for a significant section of Nigeria.

“This goes to show clearly the wicked mindset of some people in power who have no other objective but to turn the country into killing fields in the pursuit of hidden ethno-religious agenda.

“While Nigerians are united against the bandits that physically abduct, torture, maim and kill; worse harm is caused by incendiary rhetoric as espoused by the Bulkachuwas in high places. Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide demands an unreserved apology and restitution from Bulkachuwa for this unwarranted assault.

“We also call on the Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan to reprimand Bulkachuwa publicly as a deterrence to some others who do not understand their oath of office and allegiance to the constitution of Nigeria.

“For purpose of clarity, a Nigerian Senator must be seen at all times to protect the interest and corporate existence of Nigeria. I doubt if we can build a truly united country with such irresponsible conduct and legislative rascality by the likes of Bulkachuwa”, the apex Igbo body said in a statement by its spokesman, Chdozie Alex Ogbonnia.

Nigeria's hate on Ndigbo is systemic, and Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa's comment should not be seen as isolated and unconventional.
It should be seen as a peek into the minds of people who claim to want to keep the country united in love.
Keep in mind that the governor of Bauchi state (Bulkachuwa's own governor) is the first governor in Nigeria to speak boldly about plans to import Fulani from outside Nigeria into Nigeria to resettle them.
It is the norm in Nigeria to hate on Igbo for daring to reject slavery, and that is why the country has failed.
Imagine this coming from the husband of a former president of the Nigerian court of Appeal.
He is threatening a nation of about 60 million people - A MAJOR ethnic group in Nigeria.
Bulkachuwa's hubris can only happen in his schizophrenic mind.
Igbo unity is growing daily, and as long as they remain UNITED, NOBODY can do anything to them.

Look at what a quota system ingrate has to say about the people who have fed him for the past 100 years.

How much of an ingrate is this guy?
Even if his wife who is a beneficiary of Nepotism can't control him, an old man like him should possess a bit of common sense.

These quota system Jihadist have really horrible characters.

if you want 2023 presidency No one will give you just knw that, you will use your own hands to work and get it not acting as spoiler to others nonsense

Igbo

Elders scared of their children age mate.

The North actually deserve whatever they're going through right now.

And as long as they unite against the Igbos Karma will always fawk them raw

One big truth is, the north will really suffer for a very long time if they don’t change their mindset. Every disasters, diseases and killings our country has faced and still facing affects them more yet they don’t learn and I am sure they will never learn. They still believe IPOB is the problem. Mtchewwww! E go shock them

If there’s any justice in Nigeria, he should be in prison..
His quota system wife Doesn’t know any better. Hijab cover her senses..
Black Excellence and nothing else... UBE now!

Comments like these are why I don't bat an eye whenever an atrocity happens in that region of the country. Long may their suffering continue!

DSS won't invite the so-called Senator now, but let a Southerner make inflammatory remarks about Buhari or the Fulani herdsmen, all hell would be let loose. I love this country with passion however, it is getting obvious by the day that we are better apart. Let's separate, we could still make good neighbors.

That's bad of him to say.
But one difference between Igbos and northerners is the way they celebrate evil. If boko haram kills anyone, you see Igbos online celebrating, if bandits kill, they celebrate, if ESN kill security men, they celebrate. You will never see s northerner siding or jubilating at the gains of terrorists (Quote me with evidence if I'm wrong). Imagine Ohaneze defending someone like Kanu! Tueh!
This attitude makes them repungent to other people, and they justify their actions by always pointing to others.

Ndigbo aren't concerned.

MY PEOPLE don suffer....

That's Igbo youths are forging ahead with Biafra restoration with out looking sideways and back.

The ohaneze and all the Igbo politicians, should stop reacting and start working towards Biafra restoration. They hate you it's as simple as that. Seeking for apologies wouldn't solve anything.






God bless Umu-Igbo Ndi-oma

Until you recognize the pains of others, don't expect others to feel your pains. The Nigerian military and police derive pleasure in killing wantonly any Igbo youth without other tribes speaking out in condemnation of such wickedness save for few instances just of recent. The Igbos who have been suffering this injustice won't just forget so easily the loses they suffer from such gross oppression which no one condemns. The natural response expected from such people when others too suffer is either to remain silent by feigning total ignorance of the killings or to make fun of such victims with the hope that those victims will realize the importance of condemning any form of oppression irrespective of who the victim is because what goes around comes around. It is people with warped mind like you who misinterprete such responses by terming them evil.
Was it not on nairaland that majority of southern youths cheered on the partisan Nigerian security to murder armless protesting Igbo youth for no tangible reason? Wasn't it here we read educated people wishing more bullets to the murderous Nigerian army as they went on rampage killing both Massob and IPOB members? They didn't know that the monster they helped to create will turn around to bite them. The Lekki massacre was enough to reset their heads. Deranged minds like you only see the fault of Igbos but see not wrong in the evil treatment given to our people in the first place. What goes around comes around. Always have it at the back of your mind. Learn to speak up against the humiliation and killing of armless Igbo youths or any group of people protesting for a just cause so that paradventure you become the victim of biased security men tomorrow, they will also speak up in your defence.

This is what they don't realize. This time around there's no going back. We have no future in Nigeria. Not today and not in the future. Being a second class citizen in your supposed country can never be accepted by us.

It means the whole North to should be wiped out,cause they to harbour Bandits,Kidnappers,Herdsmen,Mayyeata alah and their father of all Boko haram/Iswap.The mumu man should know that those that live in glass house dont throw stones,but if they choose to still throw stones then they will create a storm they cant control.And what next after the Storm?That question goes to the mumu Senator.

My shock here is Ohaneze being shocked on the jihad and terror tendencies of Fulani idiots no matter how highly placed. Keep on pretending on the unity of the hell hole littered hunger, terrorism, starvation and hopelessness

This is exactly why I feel like strangling efulefus who proclaim 'one nigeria' unity with these abokey vermins.

Anyway, their days are numbered in Igboland.

Irresponsible Senator. Imagine what this kind of a person would do if given the power to lead. He is even the chairman of a sensitive committee.
