Addressing journalists in Abuja, NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, stated that the ongoing detention of some persons by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in connection with the alleged stealing and diversion of monies meant to prosecute war against insurgency in the North East, justified the union’s calls for summary execution of corrupt public officials.

All Nigeria Need To Do Is To Ask The Igbos To Vote And Determine Where They Want To Belong, Biafra Or Nigeria- Dele Momodu

 All Nigeria Need To Do Is To Ask The Igbos To Vote And Determine Where They Want To Belong, Biafra Or Nigeria

BY DELE MOMODU

Fellow Nigerians, the roof is on fire. And the owners of the house should not
sleep and snore lest they get badly burnt. Please, let no one treat or dismiss
this Biafra controversy as humbug because it is very serious and has the
potential of spiraling out of control and snowballing into an unprecedented
conflagration of unquenchable propensities. War has never been a tea party.
I was about seven years old when the Nigerian civil war broke out in July 1967.
I was a child but not too young not to know and understand some of what was
happening. I certainly felt the tremor of it even in far-away Ile-Ife. We knew
something was definitely wrong when we suddenly noticed the inexplicable
disappearance of our neighbors and family friends. The most painful for us in
my own home was the forceful separation from our prayer warrior and spiritual
Guru, Papa Fineface. Papa Fineface had migrated from the Eastern part of
Nigeria to Ile-Ife many years earlier. Suddenly like a wisp of smoke he was
gone! At that time, we called such citizens of Nigeria from that part, Ibo. Much
later, I somehow learnt that the people should actually be addressed as Igbo.
Well, we continued to use the two names interchangeably till today.

Igbo's Are Very Much Blessed And Loved Exceedingly By God - Ezeemo

Igbo's Are Very Much Blessed And Loved Exceedingly By God

A frontline industrialist, Mr Godwin Ezeemo, has called on the pro-Biafra protesters to have a re-think of their actions and consider its consequences on the generality of the Igbo residing in different parts of the country and tread with caution.
He said grounding businesses in the South East, destroying properties of their brothers, and preventing women from fending for their families, among other negative implications of violent protests, do not give credibility to their call, rather dialogue and diplomacy must be employed in resolving any issue of interest, not war or confrontational principle.
Ezeemo said that 99.9 per cent of the people parading themselves today as pro-Biafra crusaders and going about their agitation in a violent manner did not see or experience the 1967- 1970 Nigerian civil war and as such do not know the consequences of their action.
He called on the protesters to go home and ask their parents, uncles, war veterans in their various localities what it means to incite war and its benefits. “There is nothing good that will come out of conflict, confusion, crisis, not to talk of war where every where will be in comatose.
