- After Lagos was made capital, igbos came in and bought lands from owners they didn't come to acquire empty lands. Every well-meaning Nigeria will know Igbos have played a major role in the development of Lagos state

We spent the last 60 years fighting over ethnicity. "Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, Northerner, Southerner, etc" - but we spent almost no time planning economic development. Aren't we tired? When will we sit down to develop our country? And if we know we will never get along, let us divide this damn country once and for all and let us have peace.
Who are "we"?
I know you are not honest😅😂
Igbos come back home and make every Igbo land great.
I swear i dont know what this people whant
Abeg tell them oo! We are tired of this constant lamentations.
We are really doing That travel and See the Ever beautiful East.
Will you give them the money to move and re-establish at home?
@@antnam4406 Why are you a nuisance?
Igbos population is enough to make great contributions to our own land and Business
Yet this man is trying to tell us how you Igbos love Nigeria.
Chief Iwuanyanwu is an elder and he speaks as an elder.
So those of you telling him to speak otherwise 'kindly read between the lines and understand. Use your tongue to count your teeth ❤
The blind leading the blind.
Thank God I succeed in selling the land I have in Uyo because I don't trust any other tribe in Nigeria apart from my tribe, my investment is heading to Aba
@@spiritual2black am sure the people of uyo are glad that your like’s don’t own land there anymore
@@Adeniyi3884 Thank you!
@@dadakeshinro6749 you’re welcome.
If not that the Igbos are very hard working they would have been the poorest group in Nigeria considering the civil war.
Thanks to the Yorubas who tolerated you, now you are blaming the Yorubas for everything.
The Igbos had always benefited from federal character than the Yorubas. Case in point, during Shagari, Alex Ekweme was Vice President. During Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, you benefited more.
@@taofiqowolabi Is Goodluck Jonathan an igbo?
@taofiqowolabi , another bigot spotted. the same way igbos tolerated everyone in their land. Point of correction, igbos are more in lagos than any other state because lagos was once a federal capital. igbos are the most hospitable people in Africa. ask you brothers and sisters who lived or are still living in igboland today. we protect visitors and foreigners more than our own people. igbos cannot join their brothers to fight against foreigners or visitors in igboland. unlike some yorubas like you who are bigots will join your likes to destroy or kill igbos. go and verify from your brothers and sisters living igboland
@@ray-df8bqHis Igbo when it suits
I live in America. I have a land in Lagos and I had planned to start building. But I decided otherwise after seeing Yorubas in Lagos tell Igbos to go home during the last election. I have acquired a land in Owerri now and it is there that I will build a house. Any Igbo man or woman who is still planning on building a gigantic house in Lagos is stupid.
I done the same brother, wise decision I live in Israel.
Sell the land to Yoruba pls. No one forces igbos to build any house in Lagos.
@@abiodunadepoju How many Yorubas can afford to buy a land in Lagos? In the first place, Yorubas are the ones who sold their lands and wasted the money on Owambe and marrying multiples wives.
Bro buy land in Port Harcourt, Owerri or Onitsha and build bro
@@emekamarcel Don't worry about Yoruba problems. If you have land to sell in Lagos, I know hundreds of Yorubas based in the UK who will buy it.
For the first time, I'm proud of Chief Iwuanyanwu and the OHANEZE.
I'm proudly Dot in the circle Igbo AMAKA
shut up what is a dot in the circle, this our you guys limit yourself
Iwuanyawu have proven to be the best Ohanaeze leader so far
I clap for you Sir Iwuanyawu, you sound well, let us developed IGBO land
Exactly.
President ( Iwuayahun ) you are great and almighty God will continue to give you more wisdoms and positive directions .
IWUANYAWU, it is time for IGBOS to disinvest from Lagos, period. Enough of preaching for IGBOS to live and do business in Lagos. The so-called philosophy of ' Where one lives is where he mends or the concept of Ala bu otu is why the IGBOS are in this mess.
Exactly
Yes. He is still talking like we should keep investing there because we are ONE. LOL. We need to make sure 👍 that Nigeria is not for us
I'm sure you have no investment in lagos.. so easy for you to say, is the land to resettle free?
You guys don't listen. He said it all. They are now making sure igbos develop their place and leave the government and appointment to the rest of the people.
Spot on
It's never a one country. The one country you are saying is a waste of the time.
Don't mind this efulefu he is speaking just for himself,mazi Nnamdi and mazi Simon Ekpa Kanu are the leader biafrans know for sure.
I have a land in Lagos but after the election I have decided to sell my land. If you are igbo and still buying properties in Lagos you will learn the hard way.
Am interested please
@enisanajigbade5722 it's at ijegun ijedodo. Are you familiar with that area
No matter what dey plan against igbo we shall surely succeed forever
We shall continue to rise collectively and prosper together
I'm yet to see what will make me invest outside South east. I have sold my house already and taking my ventures down to the Onitsha. I o nly stay in Lagos solely to receive my containers. I really hope we have a seaport and I'm leaving Lagos permanently.
Thanks my brother for doing that!
We left Lagos since 2005 and never regretted it after so much threat and destruction of family business.

Agbado citizen, Igbo are not your problem okay.
Go tell your president to fix electricity. Shameless Nigerians
The only message i got from your speech sir is that the group has decided to focus in developing the Igbo land. I 100% agree to that.
Easy said than done, all these so called Igbo elites and ohanaeze are so blind to see how the future of Nigeria looks even after the civil war
Good talk sir, this is the first time I will see or hear Ohaneze Nndigbo,s chairman speak like this, God bless you sir and may you live long.
What he said is common sense 💯
Igbos must learn lessons. You can not be a fool at all times. It's not too late. Igbos made it after the war and can always make it with the igbo spirit. Learn lessons is a must or perish for ever. This kind of treatment is what turned Israel to a monster against Palestine. I know that time is coming. I m glad that internet is for all time.
All this man is saying are lies, u people are the most hostile people in Nigeria. U don't allow people in ur land, and despite people accommodated u, u still lying. Is it a crime for people for lagos to restructure its state by clearing their water ways, and clearing under the bridges. Just speaking lies.
Nigeria has never been one, we keep deceiving ourselves.
Nigeria can be one, but Lagos cannot take any more Igbos, Fulani, and Hausa. Enough is enough.
@@sulaakLAGOS STATE, not just Lagos Island, after being the admin/political capital remains the nation's commercial capital comparable to the status of Abidjan, Rio, New York. Anybody with brain understands this. You seem to be an exception 😅.
We can't be one my friend de ur de Soon we Biafrian most go@@sulaak
@@sulaakcan be one in what way? Why can’t you ask the Jews, Iranians and the Turkish to form oneness?
If the Igbos are serious to go back home to develop their land it won’t take them more than 12months. Your home is your home. If Igbos go back to develop their homeland no Southern or northern governor can go and chase them out. I love the Igbos even though I am not an Igbo man. They are hard working people allover the world.
I am Igbo, we should not continue with our philosophy of ebe onye bi ka ona awachi, when the music changes, the dancers should as well change their dance moves and steps. It's foolery and fooheady to continue priding oirselves in a lifestyle which has proven to be counter productive over time. Esi n'ulo mara mma puba na ama. Let's begin repatration of wealth and investments. We got it all wrong leaving our own land to develope other places. I am putting all my investments in Ignoland, practicality demands that now. Ndi Igbo teta nu n'ira. Wake up and smell the coffee. This attack on Igbo investments aroumd Nigeria will not abate.
Thank you my brother I brought my first property as a hard working young lady in Lagos but since I started seeing this demolitions I can't even sleep well wish I had know I would have gone to the east
Exactly
Good talk. Only if our people will hear. I birthed my children in Lagos, but the jealousy and hatred from some Yorubas against my fellow Igbos is highly outrageous. Am advising our people to move their businesses back to the East and South South regions . The hate is generational. Tata bu gboo umu Igbo tetenu n' ura!.
@@joyswim1539You can sell it though and use the same money to buy in Alaigbo. If you are well to do in Lagos or elsewhere im Nigeria and feels a pressing need to own your own residential house. Get half a plot and build a modest Bungalo. Built to cater for youe housing need & necessity rather than for the clap.
Yes Sir, I agree with you on the Southeast Southsouth will unit to develop our region!
Well spoken President General!
You have the wisdom of God!!!
Chief use this opportunity to encourage our people to take their business home it is time we go home
It's not the job of Mr. Iwuanyanwu to tell igbos to leave Lagos.Any igbos person can leave Lagos if he or she chooses.
Stop that nonsense. Lagos is a federal capital.
Igbos in Lagos are not going anywhere. There are more igbos in the East to develop ala igbo.
It's not an easy task to do.
I hate when some of these our old men are trying so hard to be politically correct. Please be bold and advocate for #Referendum so Igbos can vacate the babylon. One thing i know is that time will come when the babylonians will be made to pay for all their atrocities against Ndiigbo.
It's time for our old men to tell this people that enough is enough. They should tell them that it's time for us to have our own country.
Why is he applying,?? am from edo state, if they don't need you guys used this same strength to support your people and let you guys have your own country ,,every time you talking like you are beginning,,they can't do doses things to northern Nigerians
You are right
Omo yorubas are really dangerious people to deal with . There always jealous of other people . Even wen you have them as a freind is always a headach . Like the ones i had here . One chop my $7000 and wen i ask him to start paying . He said i no you be igbo girl na there i no say this group hmmm . And the lady lied aftr my passport was delivered at her house . When i called her over my passport she becomes ferious and thats how we broke our not know she held on to my passport so i can not proceed to court house for my wedding , yet if they paint thereself here you will think they as white ad snow. There is ritual everyday in ogun state but if one igbo man is caught the whole world will think there the only ones in nigeria that commit crime. Make una no leave that lagos them they bury una plasanta there . This man is beginning to sound stupid which fedral govt , the ones the wife insult igbos are the chamber or the drug dealer who tell his people to kill and intimidate igbos not to vote. De play
Abeg make you too join them in Biafra!
You are very right
@@antnam4406 what really do you want, blood? Stop the hate!
The Igbos are the endangered tribe in Nigeria. The gang up is obvious and the Igbos should think home
Biafra is near and we must take it whether anybody likes it or not.
Mr. Iwuanyawu pls tell Igbo to take their investments to Igbo land and stop asking for Igbos to be accepted where they not
Not true. How can Igbos who have spent their life time in Yoruba land, married Yoruba and have children. How can they live?
Igbos are not going anywhere. Lagos is a federal capital and belongs to all Nigerians.
😅 lol let's part ways so u can't be building Nigeria with oil from niger delta 🤣.
Why don't you support Biafra then? By the way who says anybody has the right to run you out of any place because it is not Igbo land. Why must Yoruba be left in other places?
You don't want him to say everything here

Be sensible for once, if they don't want them why are they accommodated in the first place.. it's the igbos that don't allow people to settle in their own place. This people are always crying wolf despite not being accommodating themselves.
U wan settle in igboland but u no wan buy land, is land free in lagos 🤔?
As if you dey travel@@Ope-fr5hu

As for me I am telling igbos here in Europe and Asia and Africa and America stop building in Lagos anymore,as for me because of this great evils of tinubu I will never travel to Lagos again from Abroad, I will rather go through Abuja so Lagos will not see My money any longer, all my investment is already in the east
You cannot tell people to stop exercising their rights.
Better still Enugu. When you arrive Enugu from abroad, you truly feel the sensation of homecoming. No more sundry thugs fighting over your luggage.
Ethiopian air are functional in enugu
Thank you our leader, chief Iwuanyanwu, continue to fight for our people sir, God bless you
We're not surprised by the Tinubu government demolishing houses. Igbos should realise this government is known for LAND GRABBING. You can't change them nor can you appeal to them for a change of heart. Please open your eyes, go home and develop your States.
Let every governor in the east create enabling environment for business to thrive and let the igbos take their investments back to the east. You have the zeal, resources and experience to turn east to Taiwan or dubai of Africa.
My Igbo people don't run away unless they are soaked.
The present vice president Shettima in the last years before now warns that they will show the igbos in Lagos but igbos called it a joke.
This is a preplanned policy.
It's time for Igbos to stop believing in a country that dont love them. You cant continue to extend your hands of love, friendship etc to an entity that doesn't have same towards you. It's sad what Igbos are going through and unfortunately they have failed to understand that!!!
Talking as if you love other tribes. Your domineering attitude and inordinate desire to take everything for yourself is one of your problems.

It does not take igbos in Lagos or diaspora to develop ala igbo. It's the duty of the governors and the leaders. Alex Otti is showing what a dedicated good leader can do. Igbos are all over Nigeria. The idea that igbos in diaspora will move to the southeast for the southeast develop is senile.
For me, so far, Igbos have been supporting the Yorubas while for the major part, Yorubas have done the opposite to us. It's time we Igbos leave the Yorubas to themselves and forget about the so called southern Nigeria and leave everyone to their own nemesis. There is a reason why the Yorubas are called the treacherous tribe in Nigeria, and they have been making that clear but we kept ignoring it. It's time for Igbos to rethink their alliances and supposedly friends. We can't keep ignoring reality.
Even other Africans from Cameroon and neighbouring countries know about Yorubas .
Thank God for Bath Nnaji he have set the record straight for the Igbos to tape into for massive development that will be beyond any federal government control against the igbos
Igbos it's time to come back home... this man it's time you tell the truth and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should be released.
That's why I love mazi nnamdi kanu
Why not join him?
@@antnam4406I love him too

Let them invest back home,i lived in Okota in the early nineties.Then lands cost 300k before sandfilling but I knew this day will come when the will display their true colours.Invest in the East period.
I know igbo land will be great again..all we need is to come together and chat a way forward.. countries did it
I just don't like the constant appearance of Mr iwuanyawu on arise tv talk about the demolition. You have done that enough...please stop . Let the people learn and stop building mansions in lagos
If he does, he will be attacked by the same people troubling Igbos. He will be called all sorts of names.
Don't they have sense?
May be greed.
In even a swap area that they can't even build if it's in East
No it's not enough...Our people need to be reminded of this everytime
We don hear Mr Iwuanyawu..
Owerre de Booooom now. Aba de Booooom Enugu, Onitsha,Abakele,Orlu,Awka, Nsukka,Okigwe,Afikpo,all de Booooom Booooom.
IGBOS should go back and listen to Shettima's evil plan caught on a telephone conversation with his Yoruba friend. Enough is enough bikonu
Chief please advise Igbo to take their investment to Igbo land so that other tribe will start to respect us, if not the next chief will still come and beg Nigeria to allow Igbo to leave with them
Chief please stop this pleading every time. Enough of this.
Old men dont talk and reason like kids.
Did you hear him plead? He is stating facts!
This people are blessed and nothing can stop them.
Good talk Mr iwuanyanwu. Bravo.
Don't you think that we should get out of Nigeria, we have what it takes to be a country biafra is our answers.
The right thing now is not to ask Nigeria or other tribes to allow the Igbos to do business in Lagos. It is pandering to the whims and caprices of those jealous never-do-wells who will never change their hating attitude. What should be done now is to increase the tempo of moving Igbo businesses to Igboland.
Nigeria is not one and will never be one and the sooner we understand it the better we will become
Hi,
My sincere thanks to Arise media and the anchors.
Also my sincere thanks to this great Igbo leader.
If this man was the igbo leader since there would have been a head way to their development.
Igbos is the unity of Nigeria because they developed everywhere they stayed.
In my view, there is no fairness in Nigeria and there will be never a fairness in Nigeria.
I think the igbos should unite together to live this union called Nigeria.
In the world to come this is how it will remain because, on less there's renegotiation to decide weither to stay or live.
Finally, this great leader have done so well since assumed office and thanks to Arise media.
My name is Stevephen Odin from London
Youve been LEAVING for over 50yrs and you still contested and voted just few months ago. Dey play. Once you don't have your way, you start whining like little baby. This one na fight to finish.
Igbos wake up lienigeria is never for us stop deceiving yourselves wake up and fight for your freedom #BiafraExit #BiafraSelfReferendum2024
Iwuayanwu is and intelligent elder👍God will keep you alive in good health and prosperity for us sir❤we the Igbo's and Nigeria love you sir
Initial it was the fulani in the north now yoruba in the south. Go home brothers. Go back home brothers.
iwuanyanwu should continue the preaching while he also advices igbos to take their development to their region.igbos would never be treated as equal citizen in nigeria. the earlier igbos and their elites acknowledge the realities in the country the better for all and sundry.
We igbos don't beg. Iwuanyawu and his follow corrupt fellows are begging because of their corruption cases. Continue begging for your family not igbos. Remember igbo ewe gi eze. You have been talking talking talking no action. Ezeife is gone after talking talking talking without any action, u and ur cohorts have started from were Ezeife stopped tufiakwa unu. Men without balls.
We’re not Nigerian , we are Biafran’s we must go one day and leave Nigeria for them, we’ll develop our S/E in less than no time, I guess Abia is taking a step
What have the governors, senators, reps, ministers, etc from Igbo extractions done to better the lot of the Igbo people in the IGBO LAND? Were they appointed by people from other tribes? Even if the igbo people go their way, what difference will it make? It will remain under developed. It's a black man curse.
Don't be surprised that the excavator used for the demolition belongs to an Igbo man, Igbo race needs to ask their chi some questions by now.
May God have mercy on the Igbos.
Lagos being made capital wasn't up for discussion with any ethnic group, let alone Igbos!
Opposing Lagos being made capital wasnt the preserve of anyone!
The British arranged it all!!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
Using capital as an excuse is not an excuse, capital can be moved to any state, will you be going to every state while you leave your state unattended to, your home is your home, if you fail to develop your home, and you keep moving from capital to capital, then that is the problem you caused yourself, if you have the capacity to contribute to development, then use it first for your state, you do not complain when you are facing the punishment of your failure to make your state worth living for your people,
Which of Igbo state are not wath living
Nigeria is a federal republic. This is a sentimental opinion without any reasonable backing. Anybody has any right to live anywhere in Nigeria.
Apart from Lagos state which was Capital which other south west state is better than south east
The federal government should construct seaport in South South or renovate and make the old one in South South functioner and watch Igbos and other tribes move out of Lagos.
Thank you
It’s time to develop Biafra, we can’t continue to beg for our rights. Ndi Igbo must now think Biafra all the way

@Adeniyi3884 Take note that it doesn't mean we won't live in places we currently reside so you don't rejoice too much. I know most of you are daft. If people can live in diaspora, then nothing stops Igbos from residing in parts of old Nigerian Republic if they wish.
I don’t think Igbos or any other ethnic group in Nigeria had a say as per Location of Capital as this was established by the Colonizers.
You don't know what you are talking no matter stupid people are the still say their mind.
Lagos was a separate colonial possession before the British conquered the SW, SE and North.
LOLz .... your name says a lot about your views ..... baseless!!
My brother tell them I,Lagos has been separate and unique b4 the creation of Nigeria self
Gedegbe ni eko wa@@sulaak
Apart from Lagos Lagos which was a former Capital and every other tribes developed it... Can any Yoruba man say or talk of any other state developed by their effort as a tribe... Is it Ogun that is next to Lagos Lagos Lagos but still lacking or Osun or call the developed states Yorubas developed... When you see a tribe doing great respect and learn from them and not hate in every way... This tribal hate is too much that is the reason Nigeria so sick... If the Igbos should be on their own they will be a great country as the world can see and tell just like it is said "Anywhere you go in the world and don't find an Igbo man, leave"... That alone tell you the Igbos are free minded people they can relate, trade and marry from any tribe or country in the world... Respect to the Igbos 🦁
You are appealing! Ohaneze wake up! Ohaneze wake up!
Oga go and get some few IGBOs together we need just one Seeport...is already in Abia state,fix it and stop all this Lagos or No Lagos...
I think we should stop this issue of people hate igbos. We have bad people in all tribes. We have many good Igbos, Hausas and Yorubas.
Some might be bad but that does not describe all.
I have been insulted and attacked by igbos here because i said Nigeria will work and that we should all come together against these satanic politicians dividing us.
Meanwhile, many more Igbo agreed with my position that we are all victims of these greedy politicians.
No matter what anyone says, i will never hate any race or tribe. I've helped and received help from Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba.
Nigeria will work. We need to come together.
Lagos state government should also be careful on this matter of demolition. We must be fair to all.
God bless you sir . Our issues are beyond tribe . Satanic politicians use tribe to keep the poor down . The old man is making a lot of sense .
East or west,home is the best..If Igbos have ears to hear,let them hear!.."First fool no be fool,second fool,na proper foolish!.
KUDOS sir, may God almighty continues to bless you in all area of life
Oga, is it only Igbos strutures that are being demolished in. Lagos ?😊
Those attacking the elder statesman for pleading for unity should stop. He spoke as a leader because peace is paramount. It's not everything you'll expect him to say in public, use your common sense! STOP investing in where you aren't welcomed. When geopolitics became hostile to China, they went back and developed their place, today everybody borrows from them. Be wise!!
Igbos should as a matter or urgency withdraw their investments from Lagos in totality. And stop buying any damn land that will be taken away from you tomorrow plus demolition of your businesses.
Withdraw it to where? And how can they feed? It takes please don't talk like a big fool.
Chief Sir, you have spoken wisely Sir
Yes we will begin to give you a maximum respect once you continue to speak and act as a father who has the OBLIGATION and RESPONSIBILITY to protect his children. And what you must do now is to rally your governors and charge them with a task to get MNK released with immediate effect.
Yoruba people must think again. Look Igbos are Nigerians.
Indians enjoy Lagos more than Igbos, Lebanese own more prime properties than Igbos.
What is the reason for destruction of the properties of nationals of Nigeria called Igbos??
Politicians like to act foolishly in the name of tribe.
Divide Nigeria no! Allow Igbos stay and live in peace no!
Nigeria must think think and think again ooooh!
The ohaneze has not done enough. They must be more forceful and ideological in negotiating what they want.
I'm tired of this old stories everytime. Take actions
If u are expecting action from a man imposed by hope uzodinma as president of ohanaeze organization 😂 no way expect no action from such people only speaking grammars
What actions do you want to take? You do anyhow, you see anyhow.
@@antnam4406 shut up, fool.
Nwayawun please wake up and develop your area. Stop playing stupidity
Bravo 👏 Sir Iwuanyawu
Igbos started first calling people’s ancestral place a no man’s land. Instead of finding blame, and shifting responsibilities, Igbos need to respect their host
Well spoken sir ones more.
The Igbos are our family and we love them with their entrepreneur spirit but there's a serious problems we are not addressing. For many years now Lagos is no longer a capital but still remain the financial hub with the ports. The Yorubas are very accommodating allowing their brothers to settle peacefully even though Lagos is no longer capital. The Igbos are now claiming that Lagos is no mans land where by disrespecting their host. They did this in South Africa, Ghana, Kenya etc. Please my Igbo family learn to respect your host so that they can live in harmony with you. All buildings demolished in Lagos must be compensated. The Igbos in Lagos in 1966 were not very many and they managed to return home during the British war on Biafra land between 67 and 70 and today they're all confused as to the roads leading to their ancestors houses. Please kill your poor spirit of domination, respect and live peacefully with your other ethnic brothers and sisters. Refrain from aggression because you're a long way from your ancestors home. Let's live in love and not in hate and foolish arrogant. God bless you all.
Igbo people go home and make Igbo land great 👍
Mr Emmanuel. N, in your tenure as leader of the Ndigbo or Igbo leader, if actually you engage in developing Igbo--land, that will be a credit to you and eventually brings challenge to all the six geopolitical zone to develop their zone.
Is he a political leader? Did you give him governmental powers or Appropriation from budget? Ohaneze is a socio cultural umbrella
Sir, I understand you want to sound like the broken record of OneNigeria. But how can that truly be, despite the intentional hatred and despise of our people. Why must we be the only ones shouting OneNigeria, but we are the only ones that is marginalized, mistreated, hated, and pushed out of lands in Nigeria. Please, let our people come home, let's develop our land. Let the useless Nigeria collapse, we do not care. Help our richmen understand that no where is better in Nigeria than home. Get them together to build seaports, power plants etc and see our land grow fast into Dubai. God punish Nigeria
Also make sure you solve the issue of division of S/East and S/South that was mischievously plotted to destabilized the Family of Eastern Region and bring the Family back more strongly and formidable under one umbrella. And by extension the entire Southerners must as a matter of urgency strengthening their unity for their protection, survival, development and progress
The resources of the Eastern Nigeria was used to develop Lagos bc they have it mind that this is our capital.
Chief why are you not complaining about the demolitions in Anambra state?
We are not pretending we know why the Lagos one was done. There is no pretense here the whole know. If you claim it's not ethnic who amongst your leaders said spoke about it. The whole world knows this because social media has amplified it. It will manifest soon in 5 or 6 years to come. You will notice the impact of the tribalism in Lagos. You think other parts of Africa and the rest of the world don't know who is ethnic. You will find out soon the disadvantages of that action. People need to be careful in these days of social media.
Thank u Chief for speaking up notwithstanding…….
You cannot tell a people to stop exercising their rights while others are free to do same. Igbos must fight for their rights.
I see wisdoms in his speech i suggest for both we the young and the old that every region should be treated fairly and be given equal opportunity to thrive we should stop all this hatred and propaganda of hate at all level. God bless Igbo and Nigerians as a whole.
