Awka Comment: Stop insulting Yoruba race, Afenifere warns Iwuanyanwu

The Pan Yoruba Socio-Political Group, Afenifere, has warned the Chairman of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Council of Elders, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, to stop insulting the Yoruba race.

Afenifere was reacting to the comment made by Chief lwuanyanwu, at an event in Awka, Anambra state, which reportedly ridiculed the Yoruba race. 

This was contained in a statement issued and signed by the group’s National Organising secretary, Abagun Kole Omololu.

Omololu said that the groups leadership “would soon reach out to the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to seek clarification on why Chief Iwuanyanwu made the comment and whether his view is a reflection of what Ohanaeze Ndigbo indeed think of the Yorubas.

He pointed out that “We have since reviewed the video recording of the event and our leadership will be reaching out to the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo. 

“We hereby call on Ohaneze to warn the Chief not to insult the Yoruba. We are a proud nation. 

“We are a hospitable race. All these should not be interpreted to mean weakness. In fact, it is a sign of being civilized. Enough of the provocation.

” In line with the Yoruba ethos of Omoluabi, (good upbringing) we are hereby urging all Yorubas, and indeed all Nigerians, to remain calm and continue to show love to their Igbo compatriots and members of other ethnic nationalities. 

“We are one people under one nation and one God. The Yorubas have a long history of association and partnership with our Igbo brothers and sisters.
" Our diversity is one of Nigeria’s strengths in the comity of nations and we should not allow politics, religion , ethnicity or  anything else to divide us. 

“We urge all Yorubas to continue to relate well with all other ethnic groups in Nigeria and abroad.

” Our common humanity is more important than the divisive antics or careless remarks of any individual or group. 

“The Yorubas are known worldwide as promoters of peace, unity and orderliness. 

The group added that “We should hold on strongly to those virtues in the interest of peace, progress and prosperity in Nigeria and the world.

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; To be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of thy people Biafra.

Let's stop part in peace. Nigeria can never work as a nation

It just got started.

Ode, he ridicule Yoruba
Which kind yeye reach out.
Instead sanction their Eze Ndigbo

This is what I v been telling Igbos. Afenifere that was behind Obi has seen their rudeness and has cautioned Iwuanyanwu. I can't imagine how a fat man ll sit down like pot of soup and be dishing inciting statements and expect DSS to not help him charter wheel barrow to transport him like warthog to detention.

No p. Una go sha receive sense at the end cos this is a lost battle.
It's meaningless to start a battle that you can't win. The best thing for Igbos is to show Yorubas love.

But is he wrong?
The yorubas are the first tribe to rig elections in Nigeria. First tribe to introduce thuggery to our politics. Now they are the first tribe to attack other tribes and stopped them from voting.
How is iwuanyanwu wrong?

Just as finished as your entire tribe

IWUANYANWU and OHANAEZE are foolish people claiming elders

Chief Iwuanyawu was out of order

I really don't understand these IPOB goats, why live in someone's house if you don't like that person?
Why be refugees in Yorubaland if you don't like Yorubas?
