I think many Eboes will be surprised to learn Nigerians will support their move. Just do the needful send a bill to all the SE states of Assembly pass it and send to the national assembly and see what gives

No be only one State Na CAPITAL,

500GP:



The Chairman of state Presidents of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a socio-cultural organization, in seven Igbo speaking state, Dr. Chris Eluemunoh, on Tuesday warned against any attempt to “further marginalise” the Igbo in Nigeria.


Eluemunoh, who spoke with newsmen in Awka, the Anambra State capital, said such attempt would be greeted with a strong move for self-determination by the Igbo.


For him, Ndigbo had such concluded on such option, waiting for the “opportune time” to use the joker.


He said already, the United Nations had invited some Igbo elders, to hear them out about their demand for a sovereign state for the Igbo in June.


He said former National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr. Dozie Ikedife, would be leading the Igbo delegation to the United Nations in June.


Eluomunoh, who was speaking against the backdrop of speculation that the incoming government of President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, might marginalise the Igbo because the people of the South-East voted against him in the just concluded general elections.


He said some time last year, the African Union had also granted an Igbo delegation a similar audience in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.


The Ohanaeze boss said the best path the Buhari administration would toe would be to discuss with Igbo leaders on how to chart a viable course for the country.


Eluomunoh added, “Buhari must give us one additional state to put us at par with our other brothers. He must also implement the report of the National Conference. If he turns his back to that report, he is turning his back to the unity of Nigeria. If he kills the report, he is killing the unity of Nigeria.”


He admitted that the change that came to the country after the last general elections was a welcome development, given the fact that the Peolpes Democratic Party had stayed on the stage for a long time.


The Ohanaeze chief opined that there would be no real change in Nigeria if there “is no structural change” in the country.


Eluemuno disowned the Chief Ralph Obioha-led Ohanaeze Caretaker Committee, which visited Buhari and canvassed for appointments for the Igbos, dismissing report of any conflict in the organisation

Those presumed leaders will be the first to run if there is another war. Most of their family members are not in Nigeria. I hope ordinary people will not join them. Those people who call themselves leaders are running their mouths to cause trouble for ordinary citizens of Nigeria who are struggling to eat. They are running their mouths for selfish gain to linen their pockets. They don't mean good for ordinary people. Shame on them!

Bye bye... I hope the Igbos get their wish of Biafra.

Let the igbos go..

Igbo enweghi eze,

We will leave if we have to, this dude shouldn't rant like its solely his decision.

My chief is still threatening,I have already secceded since Buhari won!see u in the land of the Rising sun,My BIAFRA

They aren't killing anyone - it's inappropriate to compare them to Boko Haram.

One questions for the experts. Are Niger deltas etc(South south) part of Igbo? Otherwise, without the South south, Igbo will be worse off in the short to medium term. This situtation is similar to BREXIT, as in Nigeria is a bigger market for IGBOs just like EU is to britain.

Biafra my Home . Very soon i said very soon it will happen.

It's becoming interesting. It's time to know know who is who. I can't really wait for this to happen.

PHgirl:
It's risky. The South east is landlocked. Except if they can get the South South, too.

And being landlocked means what? There are many countries that are landlocked so go and learn your geography.

I don't support dividing Nigeria but your reason is hogwash.

List of landlocked countries

Austria
Paraguay
Switzerland
Czech Republic
Ethiopia

doctokwus:
He should speak for himself because he would only secede with his family.
Ibos have as much stake and would thrive best in a united Nigeria as any other forward thinking tribe should know.
What should be fought for is equity,justice and empowerment of people,not this primordial obsession for political appointment based on ethnic sentiments that does no one no good.

Yoruba bigot when did u start caring about Igbos? What he wrote is spot on!!

Even if Nigeria separates igbos living outside SE will still live outside SE...

It doesn't change much... Only currency exchange rate.

When you voluntarily shoulder others' responsibilities, and you are doing a good job to the best of your capability, instead of receiving commendation, you are the object of condemnation, don't give up and stop the thankless job, you maybe the life support of this thankless lot, besides, they don't have the means to pay you back, but the invisible hand of charity has a way it will pay you back. http://ayietim.

Igbos don't know any other thing than to be threatening secession whenever their conspiracy backfires. Make dem dey go so dat wetin dey naija go reach everybody. They have overstayed their welcome. Anyways. Lobatan

This man forget say igbo na dem marginalise their votes, abi wetin he wan do again?

And your general is a good example of how not be a soldier.

A fled major is a way far better and great than a crying general.

...JONATHAN HAD HIS TIME...IBO PEOPLE SHUD PLEASE KEEP QUIET AND LET NIGERIA LEAVE IN PEACE...WE DONT NEED IBO BOKO (no Ofense)

The Igbo are everywhere in Nigeria. They build houses anywhere they go
That means they believe in one Nigeria. This man is not speaking for majority of the Ndigbo. Buhari has not been sworn in and you are already talking of marginalization. GEJ marginalized the Yoruba,but they never threatened secession. Instead, they restrategised and today one of them is VP-elect.

Nothing will happen.. They should let them go.

The day and time knoweth no man,but surely this false union disintegration will come to pass
