What I don’t like about Nnamdi Kanu’s agitation – Ojukwu’s son
nigerianeye.com Aug 27, 2017 12:52 PM
Emeka Ojukwu Jr., a legal practitioner and son of Igbo leader, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, has said that the only thing he holds against Nnamdi Kanu’s agitation for the actualization of Biafra, is “their methodology”.


Speaking to Punch, Ojukwu Jr., admitted that the agitation by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by Kanu and The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), was “valid”.

He however warned against hate speech, which could lead to “bad consequences”.

“The agitation of IPOB and MASSOB is a valid agitation. The only thing I hold against them is their methodology. But for somebody to fight for self-determination I do not see anything wrong in that. It is like a marriage; there are times the situation will be rosy and pleasant, there are times there will be some upheavals.
“So, we must give room for those things. No one should say those boys shouldn’t talk. They are allowed to talk. But what I am against or what I frown on is their taking over the road because when it comes to roads, there is what we call “access.”
“If a Yoruba man wants to go to Port Harcourt (Rivers State) or Aba (Abia State), you should not try to block the road, saying you want to vent your spleen because of some certain grievances. You’re obstructing him and if you succeed in doing that, you’re proving that there is no government and there is insecurity.
“If there is a need to demonstrate or do whatever, then they should go to a stadium, book the venue, go to the police to get a public permit to hold a demonstration and you can all stay in the stadium, have (a protest by) candlelight and get the media to cover the protest – that’s enough of a message to pass across to the world.
“It is better than recruiting a group of young children from the universities, indoctrinating them and pushing them to get on the roads to do whatever they think they like; acting that way doesn’t help anybody. Their agitation must be devoid of violence.
“Any agitation must be devoid of hate speech. The reality is that nobody has a monopoly of hate speech. Everybody should be civil in relating with their fellow men. We must eschew hate speech to avoid bad consequences,” Ojukwu Jr. said.​

Thank you sir for airing my mind

Watch them 10k salary earning BSS shout Afonjaaaas

God help you for daring to criticize the perfect IPOB.

@ least this show some people from the east still got sense, so unfortunate that they aren't much in numbers, sooooo sooo unfortunate

NLC, TUC, NANS, etc do take over the roads during their demonstrations. Anti Trump demonstrations do take over the roads in the US when demonstrating.

That's to tell you that ndi Omambala have nothing to do with IPOB, our Hero's wife and son have spoken our minds, forget all these online piglets trying to be relevant

Those with sense are greater, just that they kept quiet for a long time and those miscreants were busy running their mouth.
It is now they are talking because they now understand the position IPOB miscreants have put us into

Those with sense are the ones that say what pleases you.

Verily verily I say unto you, this man had spake the truth!

It doesn't matter what you think, boy.

Everyone don't necessarily have to like him.

Igbos for Nigeria are the silent majority, and they will make their voice heard at the right time.

10K salary earners haf suffer

Oga waa here !!!
u ain't saying anything brah
ojukwu is known to be brave
not this silly talk

igbodefender:

Igbos have been saying their mind of recent, only that IPOB miscreants want to be speaking for them and Igbos have rejected that.

Is that your only concern?


We know cities in this country where they block roads to hold birthday/freedom parties!

Come block streets in those cities I mentioned, Buhari is back and no dulling. My president is seriously serious this time

Don't really see the need for all this agitations. We are inviting one dangerous friend that will not favour our wives and children, which is WAR. Please stop it .

Just putting IPOBs on notice that Igbos like us are ready to keep telling them the truth until they change.

Greedy man.

Ojukwu earned his place in Igbo history, he echoed our yearnings and stood for our opinions.
You, you are a nobody, a freeloader trying to live off Ojukwu name to claim relevance.

News flash : You are not relevant, your opinion don't carry more weight that those of millions of Igbos, you speak for no one but for yourself.

How exactly is IPOB violent? Who had they killed before?

What hate speech do you speak of? Where are your interviews against hate speeches directed at Ndiigbo before Kanu came on board and after?

Kini were yi nso?

means kanu had been logically defeated even if thereis referendum!
Biafran first lady!
Only Biafran president jr!
go against kanu.
it's a big blow!

Atleast he gave you a voice, nobody knew you existed untill now. That;s a credit to Kanu.

PFRB:
NLC, TUC, NANS, etc do take over the roads during their demonstrations. Anti Trump demonstrations do take over the roads in the US when demonstrating.

OK





Continue making noise.


Una never jam heavy military artillery

Referendum is not WAR. Get it.

Pcharles2:
Referendum is not WAR. Get it.

What else are you calling for, if not war, by threatening to crumble the 'zoo' and kill any group or member of the armed forces that dares to arrest nnamdi kanu (a mere citizen like everyone else)?

Nnamdi kanu and his violent group of ipobs need to be met with fierce and ruthless force now before everything goes out of hand and they run away to sierra leone leaving the innocents to die!

Pcharles2:

That tag "ojukwu son" alone is enough to give him a voice. Listen to his advice and stop being nuisance to the society with ur agitation...

Igbo Jews won't like this
