The Chairman, Forum of State Presidents of Ohanaeze in the seven Igbo –speaking states, in Awka, Dr. Chris Eluomunoh, said no right thinking person would support what he called the madness of the group .
He said:
“You will notice that Ohanaeze has been very silent on the issue of Biafra insurgency, though the youth wing of Ohanaeze has been speaking on it. Ohanaeze, as the Igbo cultural group, cannot support Biafra and we dissociate ourselves from it totally.
“Igbo people have contributed much to the development of Nigeria and we cannot allow some people to jeopardise the lives and efforts of millions of Igbo residing in all parts of Nigeria.
“We believe that anybody who has any issue to settle with the Federal Government should use dialogue and that is why we participated in the last National Conference. No sane Igbo person would want to witness a repeat of the kind of thing that happened during the Civil War.
“(Chief Odumegwu) Ojukwu, who led the Biafra war, returned to Nigeria from exile and contested elections in Nigeria, which showed that he was fully integrated into Nigeria and was a full-fledged Nigerian before he died.”
Eluemunor said that most of the agitation for a Biafran state came mainly from those living abroad.
He called on Pres. Buhari to declare a state of emergency on the infrastructure problem in the South East by rehabilitating the federal roads that have become death traps due to neglect.
He said doing so would help to correct the imbalances and marginalization being suffered by the Igbos.
He said:
“We know the marginalisation was not caused by him, but we plead that he should look into the problems being complained about by the people of South East and South–South. He has won the election and we in Ohanaeze support him and will work with him for the unity of the country.”
Punch
Okay. So who supports dem?
ReplyDeleteNice one. I wasn't born during the civil war but av heard and read stories, mehn, it wasn't a plesant experience so I wonder why these people who were worst hit by the war are still agitating. What for? Visit places ravaged by Boko haram terrorists and have a glimpse of what these ppl r passing through. Visit IDP camps, my God. War will be worse than that, yet they r not thinking of the consequences.. Meanwhile when it starts the innocent will suffer it most. They shld better advise themselves and borrow sense.
Deletelol, please someone should let this ohanaeze miscreants know they never owned anybody to say they've disowned them. we the youths of Biafra have never associated ourselves with anything ohanaeze, we don't even know them or their work. The little we know of them is that they're bunch of old men with myopic thoughts towards the Igbo youths. They are the same people that have been used against us, collecting bribes to to work against the welfare of the Igbos. who they help.
DeleteBruh, Fuck the ohanaeze. They all old bastards who too busy fighting themselves to even realize Wats up. But, Fuck this push for biafra too, it's the machinations of a highly ambitious man or men who don't care how many young igbo lives are lost in this struggle. Let's focus on being the industrious, hardworking people we've always been and give peace in this world a chance. Jah knows too much blood been already let. #udo
DeletePeople should keep quite if they don't have anything to say ohanaeze is just a name not Igbo's in desporial the issues of one nation is gone we re dying day by day who is fooling who the Fulani has been the great problem to name Nigeria what re hiding let us go to Biafra they own oil well still own government all key positions and still kill people in the boko haram what is the problem any fools that is talking Nigeria is wishing people death.cut ur tough
DeleteAnon 11:52; please do not comment ever again. Go back to school and take classes seriously. U gave me so much trouble trying to read and make sense out of what you typed. What nonsense
DeleteAm proud . Igbos Are uniting
DeleteWho is this Ohanaeze?.. Somebody should tell whoever he is to go and seat down.
ReplyDeleteThis Ohanaeze or what ever they call themselves are foolish set of imbeciles. We the igbos want nothing from Buhari except freedom.
DeleteMadam we igbos don't want freedom it's only u don't want freedom. Please if you are not posting this rubbish message from the village you better pack ur stuffs and relocate fast!!!
DeleteNnene George or what do you call your self?,only illiterates that are not informed like you will move motion for this crap of Biafra shit!....better go and watch ojukwu's video where he told Igbo's not move this kinda motion..don't be a fool(make your research before commenting)
DeleteEven if ojukwu wakes up from the grave and tell me he doesn't want the freedom of Biafra anymore, I will send him back to grave because am sure he must have collected bribe. But the Ojukwu I know won't say such a thing. His greatest happiness will be to see the freedom of Biafra ☀️☀️☝️
DeleteNenne relax . We don't need to fight anymore. God is al
DeleteNene pls relax . We don't need to fight anymore. God is already fighting for us . What we need is to unite with the people ready to follow us. Last last . We go go . The world now knows what we went through and they are 200% with us. Lol just chill and watch
DeleteWho is this Ohanaeze?.. Somebody should tell whoever he is to go and sit down.
ReplyDeleteSee people that wants to start a country... lol.. see how they are insulting themselves.. rotflmao
Delete@Omotola. The true Biafran blood can never insult themselves. Those speaking against Biafra are not true Biafra. Their blood has been corrupted with money and they need to be cleansed before they're accepted. For every child, there's always a bad blood. So we the true biafran are not shaken, dismayed, smitten or afraid. Biafra is going home soon ☀️☀️☝️
DeleteThat's not the point, even people who wants to start a family quarell..the thing is..this is a wrong time to clamour for biafra...and the wrong approach too.. so calm down igbo youths...a time will come when the Nigerian youths as a whole will be fed up...and when that time comes the FG will know that the young person too can register his opinion...
DeleteIf u like be a fool laughing at @nene . Why didn't u insult obj for sleeping with his sons wife? Disgusting fool. We would remain diplomatic that's what the west would never have
Delete@Omotara12:42PM
DeleteYep, they disagree & argue b/c they have variety of opinons. that's how life shld b. It is healthy.
I presume u r Mgbati. They r not like u ppl that shout Kabiyesi & u don't even understand what the old man is saying.
At the end of the day Mgbati ppl that looted Nieja while war was going on is not better than Biafrans 2day. U think u r not affected
Smth is wrong in Nieja. The earlier u ppl start thinking 4 urself instead of letting ur 4fathers think 4 u, the better, U IDIOT.
Finally ohaneze ndi igbo has spoken. If buhari should listen to the governors of south east n south south base on the state need. Who will remember Biafra? Even the name Biafra doesn't even make sense to my hearing.
ReplyDeleteU will die a harlot
DeleteY wud u say that Anon10.28...its not gud oo
Delete@chidima I between, if Biafra does not make sense to your hearing, please what sense does the name America make to you?

DeleteSilence is the best answer to a fool.

ReplyDeleteI'm Igbo, but I don't support this Biafra circus. Igbo's don't like themselves; always jealous of one another, enemies of progress in any given angle.. so how can they want a country?. How can that even be possible?
DeleteI no follow abeg...
How many communal wars are we fighting? We tribe is more progressive more the igbos; even in ur immediate family, you guys do agree on everythg. Stop buying trash.
DeleteOk. I pray they come to their senses soon...
ReplyDeleteOk
ReplyDeleteThe neglect of the SE in this present democracy was caused by Obasanjo and Jonathan yet these Biafrans accuse the Hausas and Fulanis for the neglect. Its very vivid that they are angry dat Buhari won the elections. That's most political. Ask any biafran agitator their plans for Biafra and he will hv noting to say. All they brag abt is "the zoo must fall". They prefer to destroy Nigeria than allow a Hausa man rule them. They rain insults and threats on Nigerians and a president who has bin in ofix in abt 6myths like little girls. But then, like I always ask, if they are truly united, why do they hv various factions; MASSOB, IPOB, OHANEZE, etc, etc?
ReplyDeleteFeb Godwin Gbam!!! You've said it all, I like people that think like you not low life people thinking like fools. Why didn't they agitate even from their States for a good governance why now Buhari is there, did he make the SE states that bad? Nonsense and Ignorant people that won't think
DeleteWe are not united, I agree. We are fools and uncivilized, agreed. In your civilized nigeria, give us a referendum and the agitation will die a natural death.
DeleteThunder fire u

This should educate those agitating blindly. #Word
ReplyDeleteWho is Ohana nde oshi ? We dont knw Ohaneze, they dont represnt us linda. So we dont knw what they ré saying ! We disown Ohaneze long time ago. We dont knw Ohaneze. Dalu. They dont speak for us. Dalu.

Click: As a married woman don't do these on Facebook
Linda how much does Yoruba and Housa pay you to always post negative post against Nnamdi and Biafra? When I read this trash last night I new you'll post it on your blog because this is what you and and your readers enemies of Biafra like to feast one
ReplyDelete1. There's nothing like Ohanaeze that can ever speak for Biafra secession since Biafra issue is not igbo issue alone
2. Those bastards called Ohanaeze have never done anything for Ndigno except when they went to Obanif lagos to disgrace themselves begging the lagos Ina not to throw the igbo into lagos lagoon
3. Tell your pay masters and Ohanaeze that this Nnamdi issue is beyond them this is 2015 where we do no depend on the crumbs from their slave masters
You guys will be put to shame when the time come
By the way why haven't you posted the picture of Nigerian soldiers killed by Buhari boys boko haram? No you won't because that won't fetch you money
As for any of you that will reply to this my personal comment with insults I return that back to you and your entire families in million folds
u ar such an ignorant fool and a big disgrace of ur entire family. sometimes, i wnder how pple like u think.
Deletenot a frequent commenter ere, but ur post made me so annyd dat i cldn't finish it.
Anon 7:27 YOU SO IGNORANT!!!! OMG!!!! Have never seen a disgusting person like this I believe you were right there when Buhari and his boys killed them. How do you expect an educated person like Linda to support fools
DeleteOne of the problems of Nigeria is the absence shame on the part of the elders. Why can't they just continue to keep quiet?
ReplyDeleteCowards...
ReplyDeleteMoney has exchanged hands...
Old fools
ReplyDeleteDo they own us before , bunch of lunatic, they have received their own share of 20b naira being disburse by federal government . to work against freedom of expression just like Rev. (Fr)? Ejike mbaka is doing. BIAFRA A REALITY from C. E. O
ReplyDelete1. I believe in one Nigeria, and I believe that no right thinking Igbo man would want what happened during the civil war to repeat itself again.
ReplyDelete2. Igbo have invested too much in Nigeria to just leave it and walk away.
3. Shebi those jobless miscreants just want to start war, then they'll hide in their villages while we outside the east would be the ones to suffer it first hand abi? May Amadioha strike their left nyash with thunder.
4. In this statement, why didn't Ohaneze ask our governors to work on state owned infrastructure first??
Sincerely speaking the mind of Amadioha
You're born to rule and u will whether devil likes it or not. #Respect
DeleteFirst sensible comment on this post!!!
DeleteNative Doctor I applaud you, you so right!!!
DeleteGbam u have said it right
DeleteOho tell them oh. We must insist not beg the Federal Government to do its work but that will not be achieved by blindly following people who don't live in Nigeria that are instigating violence. Next thing now they will tell me there's no violence forgetting Egypt and Libya crisis started with so called peaceful protests. These people have British passports once they light fire they will run and leave the rest of us to face the heat. The strength of Nigeria lies in its numbers. He who has ears let him hear.
ReplyDeleteVery sensible. Now this is what I call wisdom. Move forward, preach unity work hand in hand with the government to take the Igbo nation to greater heights.
ReplyDeleteOk seen.
ReplyDeleteI blive ur accounts must have bin smiling with millions n billions for u to come out now n say such nonsense from ur mouths. Mind u ur generations yet on born will be d one to suffer it n dey will ask questions. Greedy old fools

He said doing so would help to correct the imbalances and marginalization being suffered by the Igbos... I thought Jonathan has done.every thing the region wanted?? Bu please were this not the same roads most of the Governors in region clamed during campaigns that were done by Jonathan and he most be revoted?? Thank God Buhari is a good man He would ve turn a deaf ears on ur cry.. Lets learn to say the truth no matter who is involved.. Jah bless us.

Good yarns for once.
ReplyDeleteGod will punish any Nig politicians who will ask any of my relatives to embark on any form of negative protest while their own children r enjoying life abroad.
ReplyDeleteGood move by indigbo I have said it no right thinking person will support diz fraud call biafra, igbos ar good people just dat some unscrupulous elements amongst dem ar trying to dent their image

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
You will support later. Ohaneze my foot.
ReplyDeleteOhanaeze should have been quiet than granting an empty statement.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that people fail to address the real issues? The real issues are not just roads. The main issue is why are your children given the higher cut off marks for them to be able to get education whereas some other children have lower scores.
I thought the saying was that all men are born equal? So why are Nigerian children not born equal? Why is NIGERIA punishing your kids for being intelligent and extolling or encouraging dumbness?
Why are your children not enjoying amnesty since there is oil in their abode? Why were they excluded when they are part of NDDC?
The issue is far from roads please, you cheapen the issues by tying them to roads simpliciter!
Is it the fault of your people if they decided to bear just two kids while some others bear 10-20. Why should a man be punished for family planning against the background of harsh economic realities?
As usual, you disappointed once again! Your call for peace is a good one but your failure to mention these important issues is disappointing and gives you out as barking dogs. Remember they seldom bite
Saboteurs
this is crazy.. first to comment though
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteTo an average Igbo citizen, ohaneze is irrelevant! They holds no value and commands absolute no loyalty. They are bunch of political jobbers!
Their northern counterparts hardly speaks except when they want to corner oil wells & oil money, politics & power control. Its like our so called Igbo leaders are not creative in the realities of Nigerian politics. Its very unfortunate that the Igbo youths who are being abused & threatened with death for not knowing how their fathers were KILLED, are more intelligent & coherent in Nigerian unbalanced equation than their elders. THIS IS VERY VERY UNFORTUNATE
ReplyDeleteOne Nigeria!
ReplyDeleteYou won't believe this! The Drink that Nutritionists Now claim is good for your Heart
No sane Igbo person would want to witness a repeat of the kind of thing that happened during the Civil War.By extension, no sane Igbo person would support another Biafra.
ReplyDeleteWe want a referendum, not war.
DeleteThis man is a total asshole. Linda why evn't u posted the news abt the killing of those souldiers or re u also blinded by the fear of losing ur popularity?. They told us there were no missing souldiers. Dat ohaneze or wot eva he calls him self will forever be a slave all his life . Idiotic peeps.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you they just want to jeopedise their long time effort,everything will be owk with patience. TIMILEYIN BLESSING
ReplyDeleteLinda if u like approve my comment or not, u only post something dat is against IPOB. Dat is cowardise cos de 1st time u posted IPOB, u said "oh what is wrong wt this Biafran peeps". Fuck de stupid ohaneze
ReplyDeleteOhaneze should shut their dirty mouths. When was the last time they represented the Igbos on any meaningful thing? Can Ohaneze point to anything they have achieved for the Igbos?
ReplyDeleteWho d fuck is Ohaneze??? What are they Ohanezing ***Greedy fools*** When they bribe them, you see them talk from their Anus...Part of Igbos woes....They can't even stand up or speak for the Igbos yet they claim to disown the only man that deared to speak up....They should go take a back seat...We, aggrieved Igbos have disowned them a long time self....rubbish
ReplyDeleteChris Eluomuno you are a big fools with your so called Ohaneze,All Ohaneze is full of criminals.We don't recognized you people,You people are group of criminals that want to sell Igbo's people by all means...
ReplyDeletePlease is Ohaneze a name,any animal place or thing...Ohaneze don't speak for us...Those are bundle of Nigerian Government mercenaries who are only after their pockets..
ReplyDeleteFuckin' old fools! Thought old ppl are wise nd speak with wisdom? Nonsense!
ReplyDeleteWhat is BIAFRA?
ReplyDeleteBiafra is the pride of Africa. The only hope of African liberation and meaningful growth. A land land of the rising sun. Built on a tripod equity, justice and fairness.
DeleteAkuko!
DeleteOkay. Just wanted to be sure. So that when I ask again in 6 months time.

ReplyDeleteNice move!!!
ReplyDeleteOnly broke people agitate for biafra. People that have struggled against all odds in Nigeria and are making it big time will never even think of biafra. The name is ugly sef. Biafra. Mtschew.
ReplyDeleteLol, igbo people funny, you guys are so full of hatred,...if you hate Nigeria so much, quit your jobs, stop business that has to do with us... Disconnect your electricity which comes from Nigeria.... And allow us to rest... That's the best way to protest and stop blaming Linda for anything, she posts what she has.... Fr Mbaka has spoken, you guys should listen oo
ReplyDeleteOhananeze Nde oshi and ama. God will disgrace u all. Amen
ReplyDeleteOHANEZE is nobody's name ,they are just money hungry individuals that speak igbo language without any good vision for the igbos..Buhari and his yoruba group are inhuman to the igbo race .he said in Washington DC that who wants to go should go to the Palestinians. We igbos cannot hide anymore to their mayhem ,we are tired ,the Anambrarians can go on with their sabotage because they have built mansions all over the yoruba land without common sense of developing the east . To hell with Nigeria ,we need BIAFRAN NATION. This is the treaty signed in the amalgamation of 1914 to be free after 100 yrs that is 2014 now Goodluck refused to tag it to his name . Buhari came back with is dictatorship and now his hatred has continued ,no remorse,no conscience . we are tired .
ReplyDeleteShame on u Linda. Ohaneze do not speak for Biafra. They are Thieves
ReplyDeleteOhaneze nde oshi. Abeg they should bury their heard in shame and disgrace.
ReplyDeleteOhaneze are politically empty and visionless. They should have just kept quiet if they don't know what to say. Fools!!!
ReplyDeleteFrom a cncerned Igbo in diaspora
Please let these ohannaeze take their foolish and several seat behind the canopy. Indeed they are really umu nnadi, and serious set of politicians, nonchalant, indifference, and sabotage. Nothing mount pressure on them, they are neither hot nor cold, they don't know what dey want and their reason is not constructive. If biafra eventually come to be, this same set of people will be the first to identify. When the insurgency start in the north the arewa never for once disassociate themselves from their brother instead they were helping them seek for amnesty. Nnamdi kanu is our brother and come good or bad our brother is our brother or disassociating self, will it stop the spirit, let me tel u is not about the leader is about the ideology.
