Politician and businessman, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to stop treating the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kalu, as a hero..

Iwuanyanwu advised President Buhari not to treat the IPOB leader as an important personality by keeping him in detention for months but to quickly try him in court.

Iwuanyanwu, who spoke on Friday at the National Executive Council meeting of the Nigerian Union of journalists in Owerri, the Imo state capital, said Igbo desired to produce the president of the country and not to separate from it..

He said, “Igbo people are majority tribe in Nigeria. We are everywhere and doing greatly.”

He urged the President to quickly summon a meeting of elders in the country in order to find a permanent solution to the Niger Delta problems and insurgency.

Iwuanyanwu also berated the Niger Delta militants for blowing up oil pipelines, describing the act as stupidity capable of hindering the progress in the region.

Also, the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, who spoke at the event, said the country’s unity was non-negotiable.

The governor vowed to do everything to keep the country as one.

Okorocha said, “I see myself as an unusual Nigerian. While Igbo parents gave birth to me, I was born in the North, went to school there and even married in the North there. I was empowered by the West. For me, there is no better place to call our own than Nigeria. We must do everything possible to protect the country from those who seek its downfall.”

On his part, National President of NUJ, Mr. Waheed Odusile, said the union was happy with the ongoing war against graft, urging the Federal Government to allow journalists practise without restriction..

Life is give & take... No one can build something out of Nothing.... Breaking down walls & bridge building anyday anytime will make anyone's path easy!!

No matter how talented anyone is, they still need inputs & coperation of/from others to attain their full potential, bad attitude will wreck chances of greatness & bitterness does nothing but to poison & destroy its vessel.

Humans are more emotional than pragmatic... They follow their hearts dictates 10x more than what is right / logical, even kindergarteners know wheedling will get more than what tantrums could ever hope to achieve... Na cane sef tantrums dey invite....

People achieve more by endearing themselves to other people.. When some think their heads are too strong, don't think deep, retrospect and logically conclude that civility & humility don't correlate to servitude, their journey go longggggggg & they may not even get to the "promised" land (pun intended )

Do the right thing & things will fall in place...


*Modified* Fyi... Those wailing down below.

Permit me to correct the erroneous assumption that I care about your utopian never to be land... I do not care one way or the other.. cross my heart...

The objective of the thread is to highlight the truth which is that... "The renewed agitation is a direct fallout of loss of face & squandering of "political stock" not cos of any genuine or pure desire!! QED...

Make I carry my mat here

There is no gainsaying about it that the utmost desire of most of the Igbos is to see one of their own spearheading the nation top job, thereby dispelling their age long held fears of inherent "Igbophobia" among other Nigerians.

Nnamdi Kanu rightly understood this sentiment amongst the younger generation of Igbos and decided to take advantage of it by his fathom message of Biafra rebirth which was taken to a heinous height in Buhari's administration simply because most of them were against his emergence.

In as much as i would have liked to see one of them rule the country, the senseless opposition and unpatriotic display by some of them is exposing the demon in them thereby creating more suspicion in the mind of some of us who might want to sympathize with their course.

hehehehe... Tinubites are avoiding ondo election like plaque.. wonders of changi

jagaban....

Lol. Eboes are funny people. From GEJ till 2019, to Biafra or we die and now Atiku 2019 . Very funny tribe.

Afonjas confused as the fulani cabal take over south west

Ok

Let's see if the minority will win the presidency with their hate campaign against the majority of Nigeria.

I really pity Okorocha. Too decent a pragmatic politician for the miserable South he hails from.

Iwuanyanwu advised President Buhari not to treat the IPOB leader as an important personality by keeping him in detention for months but to quickly try him in court.

I wonder why this is not in Red..

He said, “Igbo people are majority tribe in Nigeria. We are everywhere and doing greatly.”

When a bigot creates a thread, the important points are not analyzed... and to think that a similar thread slept on the FP yesterday shows that Tribalism has eaten deep.

Spits.

.. and I saw Okorocha

.. Walks out in anger

When did iwuanyanwu become the mouth piece of my beloved igbo? Buhari is a curse to Nigeria QED.

Presidency is the ultimate goal of the Igbo? Indeed!! The beauty of things like this is that at the end of the day, opinions whether solicited or not will fly freely guided either by pecuniary interersts or ignorance. When a sore lack of understanding of an issue prevails, the majority of the gullible appear to have their way for a time whilst inconsequential naysayers latch unto said ignorance and attempt to feed fat and this, they cannot do quietly.

At the end of the day, resolute truth with faces set as flint will prevail. There may be some false starts here and there and seeming mistakes but the underlying cause of honour and determination will stand the test of time and prevail.

The deep calleth unto the deep...

They do not delay to spread any news against Biafra exit, yet they claim not to be afraid of its reality.


Better get prepared to conquer your fears as it is inevitable.


Nigeria shall fall and broke into pieces some day.

To them, they are just comfortable with positions while majority suffer, thinking we operate and drag same class with them. Not knowing we are looking for ways to improve and sustain standard living of all communities which we have not achieved under vengeful rule of these afonjas and almajiris, hence, need for Biafra to operate in an ideal state where someone like buhari wouldn't even imagine his illiterate self occupying an office job, talk more of being number one citizen.

Iwuanyanwu is just like most pedifiles, see him at his age changing diapers of an infant. He told us about "Igbo" Presidency in 1998 and 1999, and received some fan fare for his deceit, but we, the African Nations and Indigenous People of have now seen he was then and even now, a useless political prostitute. We have NOT forgotten your Otokoto Hotel Ritual involvement.

As for Okorocha, he himself is just comic relief. See him bragging about being born in the North and marring there as if he married one Fatima or Ameena. He says he was empowered in the West, yet how many Yoruba people consider him anything other than a clown?

He has forgotten that even the Okoro in Okorocha is all that matters as far as Politics in her majesty's zoo pretending to be a nation goes, and truly, those who look after their people often win the match.

See the e-jot in the shadows of OBJ, looking like the clown and comic relief that he is

Modath aka omenka,..keep fooling urself and ur fellow 'retrogressives'. Jesters are good for any gathering,including nairaland,just let him not be my person/relative. So keep doin ur thingy,we solidly behind u

.

To start with, Iwanyanwu is wrong to claim that the Igbos are majority in Nigeria. To set the record straight, 2015 general election revealed that the Igbos are the minority in Nigeria compare to the SS, they are just 5%.

On the issue of Igbo president he should forget it, one there's no credible person among the Igbos that can command national acceptance for now, beside that we can't trust an Igbo man to rule Nigeria because we don't want Nigeria to disappear or we just wake up one day and hear the Chinese has bought Nigeria.

Person wey be enemy of everybody wanted everybody's vote to rule them..

Some tribes may have been created with a half brain...

You are so bitter. How do you live with yourself. Living away from you would be ideal, the bitterness in you is alarming and likely contagious..
Why even take the words of politicians rejected by their people, seen as scoundrels and out-of-touch?
