FLASHBACK: STOP BIAFRA AGITATION, NIGERIA REMAINS UNITED AND INDIVISIBLE- IGWE ALFRED ACHEBE SPEAKS
Published By Family Writers
The paramount ruler and Obi of Onitsha in Anambra State, Igwe Alfred Achebe, has condemned the widespread protests by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who are calling for the separation of the entire south-east region from Nigeria.
The condemnation came on the heels of agitations and protests for Biafra nation across parts of the country, especially as the protesters clamoured for the release of the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who had been in detention since October.
Speaking in an interview shortly after his inauguration as the Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Igwe Achebe told the protesters to shelve the idea of secession from the rest of Nigeria.
He said that such agitation would only amount to violating the constitution of the country and the principles of democracy.
The traditional ruler reminded the pro Biafra agitators of the inherent dangers involved in their action, emphasising that Nigeria remained a united and indivisible country irrespective of the numerous challenges.
He urged them to channel all their grievances to their elected representatives in the National Assembly for consideration, rather than embarking on violent protests that could result into breakdown of law and order in the region.
The new Chancellor also expressed regret over the renewed agitation for a Biafran state, stressing that such protests in the name of Biafra would not solve the various economic and social problems confronting the South-East zone or add any value to the development and progress of the entire country.
According to him, the South-East remained an integral part of Nigeria and the leaders from the area so much believed in the unity of the country and would always work towards sustaining such bond. (Channels TV)

DeleteObi of Onitsha will soon perish like his hausa fulani friend Buhari
ReplyDeleteI call upon all Biafran economist to device a means we Biafrans in diaspora can help our families back home without our remmited money entering the treasury of de ZOO.
ReplyDeleteIn 2015, Nigerians in diaspora remmited 21 billion dollars to the ZOO. More than 80% of these moneys were remmited by Biafrans. 21 billion dollars is more than the annual budget of the ZOO.
Biafrans in the ZOO and Biafrans in diaspora fuel the economy so you can understand why they wanna cling to one Nigeria. This push for Biafra must be swift
to avoid fatigue.This idea will facilitate a quick crumble of the ZOO.
It's so ridiculous and unfortunate that the igwe do not understand the real context of a Constitution, he doesn't understand that the constitution didn't create itself or by God and therefore can not be above the will of it's creator(s). The Igwe don't understand even as an educated person that without the people, there's no constitution and therefore there's nothing like the people's will going against the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteThe igwe unfortunately don't understand the meanings of democracy and that democracy works only by the people's consensus and where there's no consensus of the people, union ceases to exist.
It's rather disappointing that those that parades themselves as leaders and elites of the people are grossly ignorant.
Who is Igwe to decide for the entire Igbo nation!? Let him look at his fellow royal Highness in the Islamic northern Nigeria before he can sell his own people. Coward!!
ReplyDeleteThis obi is selfish to a fault. He is protecting his personal investment in ZOO against the lives of innocent Biafrans that are being wasted on daily basis.

ReplyDeletePlease let everyone who understands our suffering and struggle against the evil enemies of Africa and Biafra in particular using deplorable criminals against humanity stand up for your rights. No individual is greater than the people. The British divide and rule system in Africa and in Great Biafra must stop ✋.
ReplyDeleteAll the deplorable criminals in Africa and Nigeria in particular should stop all these evil they are bringing down on their generations to come , putting us into generational slavery. How can we be slaves in our own home. If we are slaves outside Africa why should we be slaves in our own home? Please, please I am asking all the deplorable criminals to think seriously and stop acting like animals and fools against their blood and flash. Stop inviting and collaborating with your enemies and destroying your family. Africa is a family and Biafra is a family. May God Almighty destroy everyone involved in bringing down Africa and Great Biafra people. Africa stop enslaving your people this is a new day. This is a day stop all the evil manipulation by the British and stop killing your own people for nothing. People should pray to reject the deplorable criminals among us . We pray against evil spirit of manipulation by British and allied forces. IJMN Amen ����.
From our history, the Obi of Onitsha is not an IGBO Man. He is from Benin kingdom, a total stranger in IGBO LAND. The Obi knows his root very well and knows his limitations, he has no right to speak for the IGBO People not to talk of the Great Biafra nation. The Obi of Onitsha should think seriously before committing himself as a deplorable criminal with his allies. I am asking the Biafra people and the entire IGBO LAND to reject the deplorable criminals among us. I will appreciate if the Obi of Onitsha to go back to his Benin Kingdom where he belongs.
ReplyDeleteThe Obi has no right to make any comment or decisions on behalf of the IGBOS or Great Biafra people for any reason because he belongs to BENIN KINGDOM. Please my people let us come in unity with one voice and reject the Obi for he has no right in IGBO LAND which he knows very well. How can a fool from BENIN KINGDOM come to talk stupidly on behalf of IGBO PEOPLE. This is another divide and rule system by the BRITISH. Every IGBO Man should stand up now and reject any stranger like the Obi of Onitsha speaking on behalf the IGBOS. We all have to fight this evil manipulation by the British people using Nigeria deplorable criminals to enslave our generation to come. Say total no to slavery, we can not be slaves inside and outside our home because of foolish, useless and senseless deplorable criminals killing their people in collaboration with British evil manipulators holding down Africa and Great Biafra people. Obi should go back to his root in Benin kingdom, he is not an IGBO Man and has no right and will never ever have any right in IGBO LAND period.
Who is surprise? During the Civil War, Biafra had a popular saboteur. His name was Ifeajuna. Where did he come from? ONITSHA.
ReplyDeleteTHEREFORE, betrayal has been their trade since 18th century. Ifeajuna betrayed Biafra and paid for it accordingly.
Today Biafra has many Ifeajunas which include:
1. Rochas okoroausa
2. Willy Obiawusa
3. Ugwuanyi ndiawusa
4. Okezie ndiawusa
5. Nke Ebonyi onye awusa
6. The red cap thieves in Biafraland
7. Senators from Biafraland
8. Traditional leaders in Biafraland
9. Orji uzor Kanus
10. Chamberlain okonkwos
11. Uwazuruike, and the likes
12. The other woman and the likes
Obiawusa of Onitsha like others has to protect his economic interest with the devil British in Unilever. They're all in trouble with themselves.
Biafra has never been in trouble with anybody or group of people. It's an Ideology. The people fighting and sabotaging ideology are the ones in trouble. You can't kill Ideology, mbanu.
Unfortunately, they are really late to this great celebration of raising up of Biafran flag. They lost their seats by following the path Judas followed. They will end up the way their mentor Judas did. They will live to see the Biafran Flag hoisted high,while we jubilate.
I would like to congratulate Dr Nwodo for standing firmly for his people. Keep it up nwaforBiafra. You have your place of honor in Biafraland. Chukwu gozie gi Nnanyi Nwodo.
All Hail Biafra!
