You can make a good point without abusing anybody. Be courteous and civil.
Oh and btw, onyeka is a great musician but also a green snake, sliding its way into every govt. Who can forget her fight with mama G last yearover who has access to the 1st lady. She has only one agenda in her mind: personal enrichment at all cost!

They won't allow you folks grow because of your land claiming abilities. When you give a igbo man a loaf of bread,he will come back and claim he owns the bakery.
NB; no tribe is more tribalistic than you igbos,because you folks are always quick to play the victim card and reject all forms of ownership on your soil by other tribes.

Before we go on, I want to find it interesting that Onyeka Onwenu somehow always seems to have 'vested interests' in almost every dispensation in the country. I vividly recall she was a very vocal participant in the infamous 'Abacha One Million Man March' of 97/98. This infamous One Million March was a campaign that supported Abacha's drive for self-succession into civilian rulership.

Anywhere there is pie, there's Onyeka. My opinion, though

Cool FM On-Air Personality, OAP, Freeze has advised Onyeka Onwenu to stop inciting inter-ethnic disaffection with her recent claims.

Onwenu, renowned singer and actress, had in a statement released yesterday in reaction to her sack from a federal appointment, insinuated that it was as a result of her tribal background.

Onwenu had said, “I was abused, targeted and maltreated for being an Igbo woman."


Freeze reacted to this on his Instagram page @daddyfreeze by requesting the musician-cum-politician to stop creating unnecessary tension in an already volatile situation, as such utterance will not help matters.

Freeze said, “Dear Madam, those statements like “Buhari sacked me because I am Igbo” would only serve to fuel more hatred and animosity.

“You were not sacked because you are Igbo, stop creating unnecessary tension in an already volatile situation you are not helping matters.

“If Nigeria goes to war, poor, innocent and helpless people would suffer. Syria has a population of 25 million people, far less than LAGOS state alone yet the world can’t handle its refuge crisis. I shudder to imagine our own.

“Sit at home and face your issue without dragging an innocent nation into your personal battle.

“How long did you really expect to eat under 2 different regimes and what really did you have to offer? – just a thought.

“Sorry about the typos guys I’m really not happy about this,” the radio personality concluded

@op, Onyeka never said she was fired because she is Igbo. She only chronicled her experience as DG and the treatment meted out to her while in service and after her removal was announced. Let's be guided.

Even tho she didnt state it clearly that she was sacked because she is igbo, it is clear that her language set the tone to whip up tribal sentiments. Truth is she was not performing cos a lot of people didn't know that such a popular person held any government appointment until her sack.

Onyeka Onwenu never said she was sacked because she was Igbo, after reading her original statement, it was clear she never said that, rather it's some stupid Nigerian blogs that twisted the story to suit their ethnic narrative.

Onyeka only said she had subordinates from a certain part of the country who gave her a hard time in the line of her duty because she was Igbo. She wasn't referring to her disengagement.
Even Freeze could not see this. Stupid people!

Ignorant mumu Nigerians with all their MA, MSc PhD (that includes Onyeka), in politics, when a different party defeats the incumbent, there are THOUSANDS of positions that will see a change in personnel. The fact that this government is incompetent and unprepared and hence let the Onyekas of this world stay almost a year after their benefactor has been defeated doesn't mean it is their right to continue. As is well-known, this old man Buhari stayed 5 months to get first set of ministers - a function for which the presidential transition was created to suffice. Thousands of positions, I repeat

Freeze should shut up. The Lagos-Ibadan-Expressway media know how to twist spoken words on their head. Onyeka Owenu never said she was sacked for being Igbo, she even said she took her sacking in good faith and was grateful for the opportunity to serve. What Onyeka said was that her time in office was frustrated by a section of the country who feel that they own Government. She was victimised for being Igbo. I have had the opportunity to visit some these parastatals in Abuja and what is happening there is a disgrace. You walk in a Goverment office and you think you are inside someone's bedroom. People chatting and socialising like they are in a market place, half of them not even in for work. Those that are in will look out for which of th 3 main ethnic group you belong to and treat you accordingly and woe betide you if you are from one of the minorities, you don't even exist. I laugh at some people who think that Nigeria is this place where everyone sees each other as one. Far from the truth

But to be realistic, I don't think the woman is just saying her tribe was why she was sacked, even reading through it I didn't see where she stated it clearly that she was sacked because of her tribe. Me think She only used the opportunity of her being sacked to explain the tribal war she was facing all along.
Considering she was not the only one sacked and its a new government now "No sane person will come out and say her sack was due to her tribe"

It is impossible for these people to forfeit the victim mentality and persecution complex that is deeply ingrained in their psyche. They find it convenient to always blame others for their self inflicted woes. It reminds me of the market that was demolished in Lagos few weeks ago. Despite the fact that the owner of stalls in that market cut across all tribes, these people were the only one that attached tribal interpretation to the demolition. ''They are marginalising us, they hate us, they are jealous of us, they are envious of us''
Just as someone asked yesterday, what was onyeka onwenu's achievement as the DG of the NCWD? Most people didnt even know she held that position until she was sacked. Instead of her to higlight her gains at the helm of affairs in the organisation, she restorted to the usual victim card
People like you are the reason why ethnic animosity festers. In your feeble attempt to correct what you perceive as the 'victim card' allegedly played by the Igbos, u ended up exacerbating the whole issue by your spiteful and hatred laced reference to the igbos as 'these people'. The earlier Nigerians realize that it is us (Nigerians of all tribes and ethnic groups ) on the one side against the corrupt elite group who have subjugated and promoted the gospel of ethnicity and tribalism for their selfish gains on the other side, the better for all of us. They are the ones who put all of us in this economic mess not minding the section of the country we come from. I think you should tone down your remarks and realize that we are one despite our diversity. Referring to people as 'these people' is very spiteful. We should endeavor to address issues constructively and quit blowing the embers of discord. Just my unsolicited opinion though. I love you my fellow Nigerian.

It's very common for people to twist words, journalists sensationalise simple statements a lot to attract attention and viewers. If even professional journalists do it, then you can imagine what we should expect from every emeka, adamu and tunde who can just open a silly free blog and start spreading 'news'
Where were you when igbos ( mostly them ) were busy twisting the words of PMB?

So it pains now when it is done to an igbo?

My brother, may God almighty bless you and your generations to come! Your education was not in vain. Since the whole Onyeka "I was sacked by Buhari because I was Igbo" saga started trending on the social media, I quickly rushed and read the transcript of her statement, but I was shocked find out that in no sentence or paragraph did she say that Buhari sacked her because she was Igbo. I only saw a woman who was complaining about the tribal in fighting in her office. From her statement, it was clear she was refering to some section of her staff who is disobeying her leadership! And you know when some group of people fight you in office, they normally resort to calling your tribe anytime they want to talk about you. It's common in such situation to hear "that Igbo woman", "that Yoruba woman" or "that Hausa woman" etc. It is shocking that people have wickedly turned this into the trending narrative that the Igbos always play the victim mentality. More worrisome is the fact that people neglected all the problems she enumerated that is bedevilling that organisation to concentrate on non exiting claim. This has really show that tribalism and ethnic hatred have eaten so deep into our fabrics that it may only take a little for it turn to something untoward!
