An interesting interview,airing rich views about Igbo struggle in the Nigerian nation.These are the realities on ground,pointblank and could only be disputed by those who are inexperienced in domestic,local ,national and international politics!
Chief John Nnia Nwodo is a national treasure. I wish the younger generation of the Igbos can listen to a knowledgeable once in a lifetime leader instead of being very emotional.
The disrespect of the youths against our elders seems to sterm from the youth's conception that the elders are cowered by other groups in Nigeria to openly criticize & disown their youths. This cannot happen with other ethnic groups hence the igbo youths are not happy with their elders. The elders should get up, do something to EARN their youth's respect. It must be earned.
Ndigbo nwane ekenem unu. Most of Ipob members have been blinded by hate and ignorance. You dont win a war with hate, emotions or boasting. You should learn to listen to others as well and resist from calling anyone that does not agree with you a traitor or unmentionable insults. We have to understand that Biafra cannot be achieved in the Ipob manner. If you cannot listen to what an educated elder like Nwodo is saying at least listen to his bit description of war on 36 -38 mins. Everyone saying Biafra or death, I am sorry but dont fight on my behalf. We miscalculated before declaring the 1st time, and we have not fully recover from it and you are threatening another. Igbo focus for now should be forging unity among itself 1st, then forging economic, political unity among the SS, SW, MB. If we can do that then our aims can be achieved even as NE and NW will naturally concur.
Nwanne, I've never seen a more stupid bunch in my life. I have serious doubts about the sanity of anyone that can listen to all Nwodo just said and fail to see the wisdom in it.
I want to remind chief Nwodo that should Biafra nation come into existence it will become the 16th ECOWAS nation thus you don't need a visa to travel to Arewa or Oduduwa and other ECOWAS countries, and ECOWAS and other international treaties guarantees protection of properties of member nations. I'm confident that the Ikweres of Rivers state, the owners of Port- Harcourt will vote to be in Biafra should there be a referendeum, thus this landlocked issue will be taken care of. Large chunk of Rivers and Delta states are Igbo. A referendum is the best way to settle things peacefully.
Ohaneze Ndigbo has meant nothing to average Igbo people other than accepting the status-quo. You invested largely in your enemy territories refusing to develop your own community ignoring all the huge killings of your youths. Mazi you know it that the Hausa/Fulani government have never stopped killing the Southerners at any slightest reason. You also know that the Federal government of Nigeria doesn’t respect Rule of Law. Why will you continue to wish Biafra is not the only solution? Is it because Ohaneze fears their investment in the North and Yorubaland will be lost? Can we know the truth? Or is it that your own children are secured in foreign countries?
Did I hear "you couldn't go higher..."? hear him laud himself and his nonsensical capacities. Ohanaeze had the very important and even more expedient opportunity to first expand its clout internationally in order that the evils of Nigeria against the Igbo and Eastern minorities be exposed, then the domestic role to act strategically in the higher polity to the levels of Scotland's SNP or the Irish Sinn Féin, even the IRA but instead they keep aiding jihadist born bastards to suppress their own Igbo people. I'm still watching the video and I will give you my democratic piece of mind when done.
I'm listening to Nwodo eloquently tell us the blatant truth, and most of you ignoramuses are busy insulting the venerable statesman. Biko nu, do you guys have comprehension issues? Do you expect a man of his stature to sit there and feed you lies about Biafra falling in your lap? He's giving you the reality of the options before us, and the truth is that as it is, the only way to get Biafra is through war. Are Ndigbo prepared to wage this war?
MNK and they ipob one-families has promised to get us biafra and from the looking of things so far they will get us biafra, I have respect for N-Nwodo because of some reasons and I love him but I will not agree with him saying ipob nest action will be war MNK promised to restore biafra without war so people like you should listen to him and give him needed support's so that we can achieve our biafran land of hope. there's nothing impossible for God to do, we don't want to be Nigeria again so please sir help to even if you like to stay with nigeria no problem just help for biafra to be restored we are not nigeria this is the time to gooooo😂😂😂😂
From N-Nwodo last comment I don't think he passive what Ndigbo has been going through in nigerian by saying igbos in daispar diaspora should context or MNK should engage in one party in the country that is not working NO NO something is wrong somewhere 👀
Chief Nwado did u find all u demand in the constitution of Nigeria why did you demand that as said referendum is not in the constitution of Nigeria where in this world freedom be come a constitutional matter and where in this world freedom be come a war don't be afraid in your country you have already made desition
Mazi, you’re experienced man and I do respect some of your views. But please stop being negative about what the Igbo youths can do. They have actually suffered the negligence of Igbo leaders. They are the worst rulers in Nigeria.
Hello Sir, you seem very short sighted about modern technological development? How much land mass has the State of Isreal for example. How many countries in the world can compete with the Nation of Isreal in modern development. You are very negative and fearful. Why don’t you leave this issue to your children? Sit back, pray for them and advice them.
It is very doubtful as to who advised you that you are of Ibo origin. How can you be of Ibo Origin when you are not a descendant of Nwanoyingbo? I would like to debate you on this issue and the issue of the choice between Biafran Sovereignity and Self Determination and Restructuring. To start with, you are nominally arguing for Restructuring while supporting your mediocre position with the evidence for reverting to the prewar political posture of Nigeria. Perhaps, as a Nigerian Trained Attorney you don't understand that there is a world of difference between Restructuring and Reverting to the Prewar Posture. Also, be advised that you lack the capacity to speak for the descendants of Nwanoyinigbo Dr. Peter Ejirika,CPA Scholarly Practitioner Montgomery, West Virginia
This man is a traitor. He is a sabotuer and must pay with his life at the appropriate time. He doesn't care about our young men been killed by the Nigeria islamic army for demanding for self determination.
If you guys don't stop with this hyper-emotional attitude, we won't make any headway. I've listened to this man severally, and even if one doesn't agree with every word he's said, only a blatant mad man would call him a traitor to the Igbo cause.
I can't think of any other tribe or ethnic group that can rain insult on their elders like what I'm seeing here. Is this the kind of character we want to enshrine in the new Biafra if it comes? It's so shameful that most of we (Igbos) lack respect and manners. I'm really flabbergasted.
Ndu Best I guess that you are also one of the so called Igbo elites who do not want to see the evil that Nwodo brought to Igbo land. It will definitely consume the so called Igbo elites, who do not want to speak the truth.
@Ndu Best, Odikwa egwu. He who points a finger should remember that the fore finger is calling for the conscience while the remaining three are pointing back at you. How do you demand respect without given it. Igbo si onye fe eze, eze eruwa ya. It's becoming obvious that Igbos are becoming South westerners. Most can never put forward their grievances or argument without insults. Or would I rather say, they lack words to express themselves? A Very disheartening trend.
