THE perennial battle over the title of Ohaneze N digbo of Oyo state resurfaced again, weekend, as the socio-cultural group accused the Ohaneze national leadership of instigating crisis in the state.
This was disclosed in Ibadan by the Ezendigbo of Ibadan and Oyo state, Eze (Dr.) Alex C. Anozie, President of the Ohaneze in Oyo state, E. Ndidi Nzeako.
They claimed that Anozie is the only recognized paramount head of the Igbo community in Ibadan and Oyo state.
The duo called that attention of the national body to a subsisting court judgment delivered by an Oyo state High Court on February 18, 2014, in which the court affirmed the leadership of Anozie as the democratically elected and crowned Ezendigbo, Onyendu Ndigbo in Ibadan and Oyo state.
They went further that the court did not only pronounce Anozie as the paramount head of the Oyo Igbo community, but also “ordered everything about the Igbo General Assembly (IGA), including their acts, steps taken by the group and the South-East Traditional Rulers null and void, and restrained Chief Aloy Obi from parading himself as the Onyendu Ndigbo of Ibadan and Oyo state.”
The group was particularly irked by the recent visit by “one person who called himself the Deputy President of the Ohaneze Worldwide, by name Ogochukwu Onyema”, who allegedly said what something that eroded the court ruling, and claimed to have spoken on behalf of the Ohaneze national body.

The group said, “if it is true that they are the ones who sent one Ogochukwu Onyema to Ibadan on 15th of August, 2015, to come and say all what he had said, then they need to take caution .

“We are responsible peace-loving citizens of Nigeria who so much believe in the rule of law, and that is why we tolerated so many provocations since many years now, and we have continued to allow the judiciary to help us sort things out peacefully. Oyo state is peaceful and we want it to remain peaceful.

“We are aware of the antics of the very person who has been the brain behind all these problems since all these years; he would want to drag everybody that matters into this controversy, including the South-East Traditional Rulers and Ohaneze national body, whom we expected to play a justified fatherly role in this issue.”, they said.‎

look at real Igbo's here, not hunger striking fools who come to talk about Biafra and the destruction of Nigeria. The rich ones are living peacefully, the poor ones are ranting on Nl.

pazienza:


Of course, they are responsible citizens, Igbos are always responsible visitors. When we get Biafra, those Igbos Ibadan can stay there make peaceful citizens of Arewa-Oduanistan. We already have Igbos who are citizens of USA, Britain, Sierre Leone, etc. And they make peaceful citizens.

agarawu23:
stop deceiving yourself and your likes.
I spend my entire childhood in Igbo's neighborhood and this rich men don't give a fvck about Biafra.

my Igbo in law will alws change the TV channel when there is news concerning Biafra, he doesn't wanna hear it at all.

Rich businessmen are happy and praying for Nigeria to move forward since they know what they are benefiting but the hunger striking ones rant all over the internet spreading news.

laudate:
If Biafra is formed, Igbos left in Nigeria would do what? Naturalise, kwa?? And who is going to approve their applications for naturalisation?? Is it not the same Nigerians, they broke away from?

Some people know how to deceive themselves.... honestly! Jèe zùlụ ikē!

pazienza:


Why would Nigerians not grant them that right? I thought the pro one Nigerian Igbos Will have us all believe that they are one big happy family with the Odua-Arewa ?

I thought the Arewa-Odua love them so much that they applaud them and tag them as sensible ones amongst the Igbos? Common sense would indicate that Arewa-Oduanistans would be happy to form a country with those sensible pro Nigerian Igbos, just as they will be happy to see the insane ones divide from them and form Biafra. right?

Oh wait, are you insinuating that the Arewa-Odua see all Igbos as the same, both the Biafrans and the naive pro Nigerian one, and would confiscate the investments of thode they currently hail as sensible Igbos, should the insane Biafrans secede? *grins

laudate:


Who is talking about confiscation?? Those who want to secede should pack their pots, pans, load, shops, houses and investments along with them, when they are leaving. They are the ones agitating for a separate homeland. Why would they now want to stay back? To achieve what, biko??!

And then the same folks who have seceded would now turn round again to apply for naturalisation, after they have left a country they dislike so much? Are they confused or simply being irrational?

Now, for the umpteenth time stop quoting me and get off my mentions. Na by force??!

xtrorse:


See them bigots, when they have exhausted their wits to nothingness they become paranoid and abusive. Yet they are having sleepless nights and nightmares on Igbo issues...

pazienza:


You mean the likes of Berem, Abagworo, Phantom, and your other millions of sensible Igbos, holding unto one Nigerian mirage because of their interests in Arewa-Odua lands will be forced to go home with their landed and non landed investments on their heads? Chai! This is serious, you mean they can't even be compensated for being sensible Igbos by making them citizens of Arewa-Oduanistan? Amadioha Lee! Okwa ina afu!

Lol!

NB: sensible Igbos are Igbophobic Igbos or Igbos with anti Biafran and One Nigeria agenda.

laudate:


See this one! Are you not the one that pounds the pavement restlessly, looking for whom to attack anytime the word igbo is mentioned??

laudate:


,Pazienza ṇà-àbịa ebe à ịkpā àghalā. You have obviously not thought through your plan. Do your Igbo people want Biafra or not? You cannot eat your cake and have it, o! The problem with your group is that you have not thought things through, concerning this your Biafra.

And it is so funny that you are now worried about Rossike, Phantom, Abagworo and the others like them, who are far more rational than your so-called pro-Biafra clique on NL. Let them speak for themselves. They are full-grown men.

Last time I checked, you were not appointed their advocate or megaphone. Now, stop seeking attention you small boy. And quit stalking me. I don't swing like that. Onye āghala

xtrorse:


laudate the hypocrite, the many Ojukwus of this generation will rather lose their investments outside Igbo land than lose their freedom. They are goal-getters and can never be intimidated to surrender their freedom for silver or gold.
You and your cohorts have been banking on Igbo wealth and assets, threatening to steal them. I have a bad news for you, you cannot and be ready...

laudate:


Hehehe .... see how you are frothing at the mouth, simply because the folly of your pro-Biafra group has been pointed out.

Actually, you are the hypocrite here because you have refused to help your brothers think through, on how their assets will be safeguarded in Nigeria, or even repatriated safely in the event that your secession takes place.

You want them to lose their hard work and sweat simply because of your juvenile chants?? You cannot eat your cake, and have it, o!

Nobody wants to steal anybody's assets. It is you on the other hand, that wants them to lose all they have invested in Nigeria. That is why they have been advised to take everything they own (including land, buildings, shops etc) along with them when they are leaving. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Are they going to leave their buildings behind? Who would watch over them? The same Nigerians that you hate??!!

Haba!

laudate, the hypocrite and the first-class delusional degree holder, Igbos won't give up their freedom for gold or silver. But for our assets and wealth outside Igbo land that you and your cohorts so much crave for, you can't take them. Sorry to disappoint you!
If you doubt it, venture into the streets of Lagos and test your stupidity.
