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

Nigeria has many tribe, why always igbo talking? or complaining? or making threat? THIS IS NOT FUNNY, TYPICAL OF IGBO.
IF BIAFRA SUCCEEDS, THIS SAME OHANEZE WILL BETRAY THEIR PEOPLE. Then they will start to know who more superior or important between Anambra and Ebonyi or between Enugu and Imo.

I know biafra will still marginalize Ebonyi state cos i have seen igbos in so many occasions talking bad about Ebonyi people. I know a girl from Anambra state, when ever she see igbo man doing funny thing or dirty job; she will say is Ebonyi people.

waternogatenemy:
Buhari thinks that once he gets into Aso Rock everything will go away. He thinks he is still in the military or Nigeria is under dictatorship, he will get first hand shock of his life wen all the groups and international agency starts running around and accuse him of rights violation, corruption and ethic cleansing if not genocide.

He might be the first Nigerian President to go to Hague.

correct

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

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

Now you are dreaming or being extremely stoopid! Every last Ibo will be ejected in every last corner of Nigeria back to Iboland! How can you go and vote yes in a referendum (if it happens) but still want to return to the country you don't want to be in? Ibo logic is upside down cursed logic! We will set up embassies and you can go and apply for visa and their will NEVER be dual citizenship with Nigeria or at least with the country that comes out of The South West, we would never have ingrates, greedy and saboteurs among us whose only goal is to cry since 1966!

dats not true and your propaganda and divisive plot won't work.....the igbos consisting of ABIA, IMO, ANAMBRA, ENUGU and EBONYI are the biafra we are talking about.....we aint annexing no body....the NIger delta can stay back in Nigeria or form a country of their own

God bless you, infact bless your every step,

those 5 states should form the Biafra, n any tribe from S/S that wants to join them is free to join,

not this compulsory attachment of S/S.

we will decide what to do with our region, either to stay in Nigeria or form our own country!

I support the Biafra move but pls leave S/S alone!

Mentality of a yoruba man,stupid thing


Am from south south BEWARE before you drag your self to the mould

replying a fellow like you is pure punishment

Get a job! I can see how terrible your life is

ECOTERRORS:
next time be direct and stop mentioning about having igbo friends.

The igbos want to secede and you are crying like a baby that was denied breast milk,

In your myopic, illiterate and ignorant mind, just because igbos did not vote for GMB so he shouldn't do anything for them.

Can you tell me any tangible asset you can point out that the other regions are enjoying but its lacking in igboland?

What is the rate of unemployment in igboland as compared to other regions since in your warped mind the FG do provide employment to others and sidelined the igbos.

The worst of Abia state is fa better than about 25 states in this federation.

I’m impressed; I’ve never met such a small
mind inside such a big head before.

You lack simple common sense.

I usually dont have that luxury of time to exchange words with ladies not even online.

pazienza:
Our home states are ahead of the rest of Nigeria in real development, which is human development, as measured by MDGS parameters.

For a region that was turned into ruin in 1970, with no special efforts made at rebuilding her by the "victors", we have done absolutely magnificent, and will do more once we free ourselves from the negative influence , crab mentality and PHD attitude of other Nigerian groups.

Pls let's stop making this argument. It's obvious we are hated in Nigeria and we can't be begging people to be accepted. If we had focused on creating opportunities for our youths in our region, no Igbo youth would ever be going to the north, where we are always killed like chickens, for anything.

I'll give you an example. A typical Rivers man hardly lives outside of Rivers State because they believe their state has all the opportunities in the world. This is the mindset we should have. Instead of developing another man's land and calling it "no man's land," we should focus on developing properties and creating opportunities back home more.

Our fathers who fought the war did a lot of great things, and we won't be any different. If Biafra is declared, all the Igbos in S/West and North may be forced to go home and this population explosion will cause a challenge to Biafran govt that's why we MUST invest in our lands to prep for the worst. If we extensively develop our homes, we'll create opportunities for Igbo youths and reduce their migration to other parts of Nigeria. We must continue to think home because Nigeria has fooled us enough.

It was generally accepted by Ndiigbo all over Nigeria, both in Lagos and North.

Biafra is different from the Scottish position. Learn to compare similar things. A better comparison will be the Spanish and Catalonia situation.

I used the scottish because that's one I'm most conversant with but in the end aren't we both saying same thing and also the spanish/catalunya comparison won't really have the same circumstances as that of Biafra/Nigeria or Scotland/Britain because of the "people involved", I believe there are way too many questions than answers when it comes to our biafran quest, i hope to be proven wrong though

MrCork:
..BRO AM A LONDONER AND WE WATCH THE ELECTION...80% PEACE FULL AND SATISFACTORY UNTIL THAT BUSH IBO MAN WIT COWBOY HAT HELD EVERY ONE TO RANSOM AND DISGRACE NIGERIA GLOBALLY...ALL BECUZ HE WANTED TO MAKE HIS FOOOLISH POINT.. THE EDDDIOT SAT ON THE FLOOR SAYN HE WOUDNT LEAVE.. MUSS IBO PEOPLE ALL WAYS ACT LIKE NIGERIANS TO DIS GRACE OUR NIGERIA?

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

I would prefer you read more about Nigeria since u claim to be a londoner which might be hogwash so that you stop making silly statements like these, If indeed u are a londoner I expected more sound analysis from you not this unfounded trash u are talking, I just hope u are not speaking from your Cork since that is your alias here.

AdamsBashforth:
It is simple. You may stay in Lagos or Kano or where ever you want. I bet you, some non-natives would also want to stay in the LNC. There are no limits to these things. I can become an American if i follow the right procedures. How can you say most members of Ohaneze Ndigo are criminals and after their own pockets? Please can you name the criminals amongst them? Do you know the meaning of most? SMH.

Can you tell me which of the "factions" of the Ohaneze is making this current assertment cus as we well know there are now factions, its simple a house divided against itself at the top can never stand, a lot of their comments and statements always potray them as our typical politicians in the east who only care about themselves and their pockets if not i see no reason why we despite being at the forefront of the last outgoing administration can't boast of anything tangible as a reward for our support, our own regional party is barely hanging on cus of Anambra state where let's face it is pratically a PDP state, is it not the same ohaneze that went cozying up to APC immediately after the elections oh wait its the other Ohaneze, must be confusing to keep up musnt it, these people are bloody politicians and after their pockets and sure if Biafra gets a peaceful secession most peeps can remain wherever they want to be in the country but in this modern day, age and time when laziness and the internet are abound and without our "Niger Delta Brothers" and their Oil, do you think People would want to be part of a project laced with all sorts of "uncertainties", its not the love of biafra that's going to be a problem no far from it, the question is which of our current igbo leaders can we look up to and say we will all line up behind this person in our quest for not just biafra but a "United" biafra. A visit to the old threads here in the poilitics section about Anambra being better then Imo and Enugu being better than Everybody other person should give you an inkling into what i mean

ezeagu:
How can you "marginalise votes". Only bush people talk like that.

Thank God i came from bush, which means im son of the soil. Bye d way which town u from?

Igbos won't leave Lagos on getting BIAFRA, instead they will continue to expand their businesses in Lagos and other Odua states and use Nigerians as slaves just as Indians and Chinese are using Nigerians to expand their business territory.
Currently the enslavement of Odua citizen by Biafrans in Odua region has commenced, which me and you can bear witness to.

So my dear stop hating and work your lazy ass up.

I don't see igbo's owning cooperate firms that employs labour. We all know it is their businesses where they employ many of their boys that works for them. What exactly are you proving here?
And besides, have you ever considered what will become of the businesses you've worked hard to build in another man's land when you form your own country? Didn't South Africa teach you a lesson?

A typical Nepal man hardly leaves Nepal, like the Chinese do leave China, it does not in anyway mean that Nepal is more developed that China. It only means that the Nepal man is non adventurous, while the Chinese are, and the Chinese have the population too. Same scenario applies in your Igboland and Rivers comparison. The world belongs to the adventurous, not the timid.


Why would Ndiigbo be forced to leave Nigeria because we now have Biafra, do you know that we have Ndiigbo in almost all African countries currently, why haven't they all be forced to return home because they are not indigenous citizens of those countries?


Population is a blessing, not a curse, only bad leaders complain about Population, igboland is big enough to contain all Igbo people, and unlike some other parts of Nigeria, our population is hardworking, resourceful, productive and innovative. In Biafra, we will harness those innate properties to create a modern society.

Ndiigbo invest in Igboland, it's just that most times, we invest on our human resources at home.
The young man you see operating a small shop is Alaba, is probably the one paying the school fees of his siblings in the East. I do agree with you that we need to start relocating our businesses back home, but for some reasons, that does not appear a viable option now, not while we are still part of Nigeria, and believe it or not, apart from Abuja( current capital city), Lagos( former capita city and current commercial nerve of the country) and to an extent PH( an oil city), no other Nigerian town are faring better than Igbo towns and cities.

Ochiske:
This Ohanaeze of a group be acting up too much!
With all due respect to my Igbo brothers and Sisters, (I've got lots of Igbo friends so no human should quote me and talk shiiit ).

This Igbo group and their demands are too much
Always making noise everyday
Did they support Buhari in becoming president? NO! Yet they feel they should bw in charge of everything

All they keep on seeking is for their 'son(s) or daughter(s) to be in power forgetting that these same persons wont bring development to them one bit!!!!
A case scenerio is Abia state! They wont compel Orji to develop Abia but they'll seek recognition under a govt they NEVER supported!!!!!!!!

When their so called 'Azikiwe' brother was in charge, didnt he marginalize other tribes

What did he do for the Southwest? Nothing!
The Northeast was under attack by Boko Haram yet they never threatened to secede!

Nigeria's economy is failing! Things are running on the low yet what these Mofo's know is political positions and crap
Isnt it an Igbo woman that is our finance Minister? What good are we enjoying?

For 6years, my state, Cross River didnt receive any benefit from the Jonathan led Fg! All our federal roads are nothing to write home about! Not even a single Fg project in CRS! Even the Calabar port was abandoned Yet we didnt threaten to secede out of Nigeria!

These Igbo's should please and please again SHUT UP!
Where them wan secede go? where will their international border be? Do they want to become a sovereign state inside another sovereign state?

Last I checked, the Igbo states are surrounded by The Ijaws, Ibibio's, Efiks and others! Abi them want follow force us inside them?

Let them come and carve themselves out of Nigeria na let us see shebi na independence them want
They cant even develop their main Igbo land (Abia State) they desire to create a country, develop and maintain it!

Bullshiiit x10
Bunch of Red cap money seeking old men
