Biafrans Agitators Should Be Dealt With Like Boko Haram - Chris Ngige by Zblog(op): 7:19am On Jan 27, 2016
This was Ngige's response when asked about the Biafra struggle by a journalist:

Biafra? What Do You Mean By Biafra? Senator Chris Ngige Asks Journalist. Nigeria’s minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige has finally opened up on the protests by the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) for a sovereign state.

The former governor of Anambra state, who spoke with us in Alor, venue of his late father’s funeral ceremony, insisted that there is nothing like Biafra. According to him, the protesters are only a group of discontented people, a situation which is not peculiar to the eastern part of the country where they are domiciled.

When asked what he thinks about the incessant protests by the pro-Biafrans, he noted with a lot of assurance, that the protesters are to the east, what Boko Haram is to the northern part of the country and the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) in the southwestern part of the country. He said, therefore, that there is really no need for Nigerians to panic about their presence or activities as they would be handled the same way others were dealt with by the federal government. “Biafra? What do you mean by Biafra?” he retorted rhetorically when asked about the struggle by the protesters. “There is no struggle anywhere. There is even no agitation. It is just discontent.” “In Yoruba land, they say they are OPC, Oodua Peoples Congress; in the Niger Delta, they say they are militants; in the northern part of Nigeria, especially the northwest and northeast, they say they are Boko Haram. They are against western education. They say that it is from western education that they learn how to steal money. “So, it is discontent.

Another area that the relevant authorities need to put a check on is how some bloggers now churn out news with no concern for intergrity!

Laws are laws, & they are meant to be obeyed, even by the President!!!

Were you the one who interviewed Chris Ngige? If you weren't then why did you use your blog as the source? This is outright plagiarism.

Kindly provide a reputable source if you know you weren't the one who conducted the interview.

Thanks.

Rubbish

The minister's comment clearly shows he is not ready to relinguish his ministerial position for the wish and aspiration of his people.

A minister likens his people who are peacefully agitating for freedom with a deadly terrorist group. See what money, political relevance and power can cause!

Ngige, remember these things don't last forever!

Biafra agitators only need jobs and they would keep quiet.

Ngige as the minister of employment can get them jobs - I know he could never have advocate dealing with the agitators like Boko Haram.

The agitation is steal largely peaceful and OP source is not a credible one.
