Sorry, Biafra Died Over 40 Years Ago — Igwe Alex Nwokedi by shidof(m): 6:48am On Nov 15, 2015 |
Igwe Alex Nwokedi, Press Secretary to the Head of State during the military regime of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, is the sitting Uthokoneze and paramount ruler of Achalla Kingdom, Anambra State. The 79-year-old former Chairman, Anambra State Council of Traditional Rulers and erstwhile Chairman, Eastern Nigerian Traditional Rulers Forum, spoke to Sunday Vanguard on the calls for Biafra and threat of secession by Afenifere among other things. What is your perspective on the brewing agitation for Biafra in your part of the country? General Yakubu Gowon, in one of his published interviews, spoke well when he said he was surprised that people could be talking about Biafra over 40 years after the matter had been resolved. Owelle Rochas Okorocha, a respected governor of the people, of course, has also spoken like a patriotic Nigeria when he counselled that Igbo should stop hating other Nigerians. That comment credited to him gives a good perspective on the Igbo people of this country. Igbo people are loving people but we should talk about what unites us than talking about what divides us. I have read a lot about the so-called agitation for Biafra and I even read something about people who said they wanted to secede from Nigeria and become Oduduwa country. Biafra and Afenifere are no threat to the unity of Nigeria. So, as far as I am concerned, we should talk more about what unites us than what divides us. I am more concerned about the need to develop all the regions of Nigeria. I am concerned about the need for government both at federal and state levels to collaborate and bring physical development to all parts of the country. It is sad, for instance, that Enugu-Awka-Onitsha Road is not motorable. As a matter of fact, when I was coming to Lagos, I drove through the old road to link the airport and that road, so narrow with narrow bridge, is very dangerous. I have read so much about how contractors handling that road complained that they have been owed for over three years, a situation they said had led to the retrenchment of many of their workers including the expatriates and that they were now considering folding up. I appeal to the Federal Government to look into the issue and come to the aid of the people of that area by paying the money owed the construction company so that they can fix the road in good time. The road facilitates the movement of goods into and out of the South-East to other parts of Nigeria and, if properly fixed, falling and breaking down of vehicles plying the road will stop and, also, it will boost the economy of the nation from that axis. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/sorry-biafra-died-over-40-years-ago-igwe-alex-nwokedi/ |

The thing about a movement is that up until the time of Independence many will keep doubting. They said Buhari will never be president up until election night. The youth have spoken, Ndigbo have spoken. Leave the 1%. 3 Likes |

what these new agitators don't knw is that: before a peace agreement was reached, there will be clauses in the agreement. I can bet my hairy black asss that part of it will be a dead Biafra because the igbos, then, were eager for the war to end since Ojukwu don carry the money, hold Bianca for hand go abijah dey flenjur... 4 Likes |

Icon4s: on the day of referendum, even this Igwe will vote for Biafra. Many of these people are only scared. They love 8iafra deep down their hearts. Who in his right senses will love Nigeria: a curse to the black race? A creation of slave traders. Anybody supporting Nigeria must be wicked, selfish and evil or must have lost their dignity as Africans. Long Live Biafra. 6 Likes 1 Share |

most of writers are empty! did you know that some people were born in 1966,1967,68,69 and 70? they all had biafra birth certificate! Because they were born in biafra hospital! some of them were smuggled outside nigeria! and they have been going about with the certificate! and to them, they are not nigerian and rightfully so! so what will tell these kind of people Mr writer? you senseless slowpoke should stop already, no amount of epistle will change my mind on biafra because, I'm more than concerned that my Ajebota children in next 50years will face fiery children from north where in every 1 igbo man there is 2000 hausafulani! that's so much to contend with.. I will never be part of that union!! they said black people do not plan more than 1 year! no I'm planning more than 50years! 1 Like |

But, a referendum is nt gotten on a platter of Gold. There is no situation now that will warant d UN granting any part of Nigeria a referendum.
