Why UN can’t tell Igbo what they want– Ex-Ohanaeze President, Ikedife

Former Ohanaeze President General, Dozie Ikedife, has insisted that the United Nations, UN, can’t tell people of the South East to remain in Nigeria.
The President of South East Elders Forum was reacting to a statement credited to the UN team that visited Ohanaeze President General, Chief Nnia Nwodo in Enugu that Nigeria will remain an indivisible entity.
Ikedife wondered why the UN should be the one to tell the Igbo what is good for them.
Speaking with The Sun, Ikedife said many Igbo don’t feel very comfortable with the situation in Nigeria.
Ikedife also lashed out at Igbo leaders, saying their failure to lead well has contributed to the problem in the South East.
He said, “They shouldn’t be the one to tell us what we want, it is the person that wears the shoes that knows where it pinches him, so the UN shouldn’t be the one to say that Nigeria must remain one.
” What they ought to say was that they don’t support or they support, but not to insist that Nigeria remains one. That is their opinion.
“If we have the right representation, they will represent us well, but many a times we are unfortunate that those who say they are representing us don’t represent us well.
“If the Federal Government wants to discuss, it does so with Ohanaeze and the governors who are more concerned with winning elections, and they don’t represent the real core interest of Ndigbo.
“It is all part of our problems being represented by the wrong people with different agenda”.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement.

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
