Biafra: Nigeria will defeat separatist agitations, says US Published June 29, 2017 Eniola Akinkuotu, Abuja Amid growing calls for secession , the United States Ambassador to Nigeria , Stuart Symington, says Nigerians who preach unity will overcome those calling for secession . Symington said this in a speech at an event held in commemoration of the 241 st anniversary of American independence in Abuja on Thursday . The US envoy said his country and Nigeria shared many similarities , most notably , diversity . He said the first American President , George Washington , had warned that those who seek to weaken a country would always seek to start by causing disunity. Symington said , just like America , Nigeria would remain a united country because of its determined people and leaders . He said , “Every time we have been challenged , we overcame danger because we had visionary leaders committed to union and citizens committed to ensuring justice for all . “Today , Nigeria is fortunate to have such leaders and citizens . Together , they are dedicated to keeping Nigeria united and just and to ensuring every Nigerian is heard and taken into account and treated fairly. “Together , those Nigerians will overpower any call to divide this nation. “Thanks to them , thanks to you, the lamp of unity and justice burns brightly both in our nations tonight . And the sight of a united Nigeria ’ s light lifts Africa and with it, the world .” The US envoy said Nigeria ’ s diversity is an inspiration to many countries . He said that , just like the US , Nigeria ’ s plurality was a source of strength. Symington added , “ Wherever I meet a Nigerian , I ask ‘ What do you like the most about your country ?’ I like our diversity , our resilience, our energy , our warmth, our spirit , our food .’ “Just like the United States , Nigeria is a wonderfully diverse nation whose differences and diversity are sources of strength and reason for pride . ” www.punchng.com/biafra-nigeria-will-defeat-separatist-agitations-says-us/ 2 Likes

can they stop us from blowing up our pipelines? cos the banger will soon start whether Osibande likes it or not. Besides this man is earning maybe $50,000 monthly. so as long as he still gets his job as an ambassador he is just like the Fulanis. Feeding on other people's sufferings. 8 Likes

ScotsReferendum: Fear zoo press looking for international acknowledgement where every decent country in the world except perhaps a few politicians in the UK despises the zoo for its brutal treatment of its citizens, incredible corruption of it's ruling class and its refusal to create an egalitarian society for all. Ask yourself: Why is the zoo paying the zoo press to carry fake news? Answer: They know most of the world are lining up and giving Biafrans all the support they need to demonstrate and get their freedom. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Anyway, this is just a subtle announcement of where the US stands with any secession, they are ready to back Nigeria because they want Nigeria to be united, along with other powers, this has nothing to do with if Nigeria works for the people or not. 1 Like |

edochie12:As an Igbo man,how many times have you protested in the streets against your state governors and other leaders who get billions of naira every month in allocation and squander them senselessly? Do you know that if all the SE governors team up and even play their politics well,even with the allocation they get from FG and IGR,seaports,international airports,industries etc will be available in the SE? How can a major ethnic group like Igbos be complaining about marginalization? Igbos should play on their strengths; which are population,daring nature,enterprise,trading etc and reach their height as they are currently doing. Almost all over the nation,Igbos are doing very well due to these strengths I've mentioned and the population of Nigeria as a country. Why would you now want to limit yourself? Why do you want to short-change yourself. What do you think will happen when Igbos leave to get their own country? All their present achievements will be lost and they'll start afresh with others taking over their positions. Go to Ebonyi state and see what the governor there is doing. No wonder he's not in support of Biafra. He needs all help he can get to develop his state and his people. Igbos infact should be the ones championing for a united Nigeria for now. |
