Stop investing in Lagos – IPOB tells Igbo over recent alleged intimidation

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has warned the Igbos to stop investing in Lagos State and return to the South-East region after the recent alleged intimidation during last Saturday’s governorship and House of Assembly elections.

The pro-Biafra group asked the Igbo to start making preparations for a mass exit from Lagos.

The IPOB media and publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, who made these known in a statement on Thursday, noted that in the interim, Igbos should form gallant groups to defend themselves from any physical harm.

According to the statement, IPOB vowed to confront henceforth any undue molestation of the Igbo in Lagos.

IPOB said, “The anti-Igbo sentiments, threat, attacks, and abductions of Igbo traders, residents, and businesses threatening them to vacate Lagos is a threat to the entire Biafra nation. Makesense media reports,

“It is quite unfortunate that Yoruba political, traditional, and religious leaders are keeping quiet on the raging anti-Igbo sentiments in Lagos, Nigeria, which shows that they are on the same page to forcefully eject Ndigbo out of Lagos.

“The bigotry and parochialism that politicians through their political thugs have recently demonstrated against Ndigbo has shown that the aged long bitterness can’t be healed.

One thing certain is that Ndigbo will vacate Lagos, and we don’t expect any mediation to stop such exodus as it’s bound to happen soon.

“At the interim, we encourage Ndigbo to form gallant groups to defend themselves from the tribal vagabonds and political thugs. The criminals and cultists recruited by the politicians pushing the Igbos and expecting us to react and we must respond to them shortly.

“We are going to settle the problem with Igbo and Yoruba in a way people will marvel and nobody should blame us. Igbos have been monitoring these criminals. Those behind these devilish activities against Ndigbo must regret their actions soon. Every Biafran must prepare to leave Lagos and don’t say we didn’t inform you.

“We are urging Ndigbo both men and women to prepare to vacate Lagos. Only a person who doesn’t have a place would be annoyed when your host asked you to leave his or her house. We acknowledge that many of you have built many mansions and markets in Lagos. You have a choice of selling those properties, mortgage them, or lease them while you journey to your fatherland for your safety,” it stated.

“IPOB will stand behind every relocation and development of international markets in Biafra Land. Therefore, we urge the newly elected governors and House of Assembly Members in the Eastern Region to work with communities to make land available in every province for international markets and industrialisation projects.

“Again, we have to be involved in making sure that our people bring back their motor spare parts and we expect other markets to relocate from Lagos to Igboland. We advise them to start it quickly. We are delighted that our people are realizing that Nigeria is not for them, and the thought of relocating their businesses back to the Eastern Region is long overdue.

“Those in Lagos should know that they are not in any way doing better than the businesses in the Eastern region. They should come back to avoid losing their precious lives and properties to the hooligans working for political conspirators,” it added.

I am not igbo but i am totally appalled by the ethnic profiling and weaponization of violence and thuggery as deployed by the politicians and thugs to win the last election.

Every self respecting Igbo man should heed this call. You guys are clearly the victim here and the whole world stands with you.

So, they should come and invest where you have declared every Monday as a strike day. Nobody is coming until you remove your ugly hand on South East.

How can someone exit where they av established for more than sixty years. if dem wan go make dem go. so we go know how much of us remain for our father land.

Fulani will come to the West, rape their women,kill their men and children..But still,the Yoruba man will worship the Fulani man and praise him ..

The whole world does not stand with hypocrites, you can not go to another man's land and call it no man's land...

Can a Yoruba man go to Anambra and call it no man's land??
Is that not disrespect?
