More than 3000 youths from the Niger Delta, South East and the Middle Belt yesterday stormed the residence of departed Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, on a special condolence visit and procession just as former Niger Delta warlord, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, declared that Ojukwu’s struggle for Biafra was right. The group under the aegis of the Coalition of Nations and Organizations of Nigeria was billed to hold an all-night meeting at the national secretariat of Ohaneze Ndigbo in their resolve to effect a re-union of the ethnic nationalities. Speaking when the youths paid a condolence on Lady Bianca Ojukwu, Dokubo-Asari recalled how many of his family were killed and massacred for their for Biafra. Said Dokubo-Asari: “Today, if anything will stir me to fight, it is my belief that Biafra was right. When I was growing up, we were told a lot of things to hate Biafra. Maybe some of us were persuaded. But the more I grow up, the more I realize that it was the greatest mistake we made for not allowing Biafra to stand, “You might not feel the pain that I feel, but if an Igbo man does not feel the pain that I feel, I am sorry for him. If an Urhobo man doesn’t feel the pain, I am sorry for him.“What Ojukwu lived and died for, in the coming years, we will see it with our eyes because of the arrogance of a few people that were born to rule, and everybody accepts it. When you want to talk they say leave them alone. Why should I leave them? If you don’t bend your back, nobody will ride you. “For the first time in history, the divide and rule tactics of those who have kept us down failed and the Igbo voted more for President Jonathan than the people of the South-South.“Our gathering today is to bring the gathering of the dispossessed and oppressed people of the Middle Belt, Ndigbo people and the people of the Niger Delta together and we are going to move like a force. “Let nobody be apologetic. What we want is political power. Political power is the key to our development and our dignity, and political power we must own come 2015. If President Jonathan says he is not contesting, we must hold on to the presidency. Either an Igbo man takes it or someone from the Middle Belt, we will continue to hold it.” Earlier, the leader of the team and president of the Ijaw Youth Council, Miabiye Kuromiema, said they were in Ojukwu’s residence to draw inspiration from the late Igbo leader’s rich legacy of courage and desire to see that Nigerians are given a place of dignity and respect. In her response, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu thanked them for the visit and respect to their departed hero, and urged them to be strong in their determined effort to effect a change in the country. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2012/feb/19/national-19-02-2012-004.html |

Good. Go and them there!  Too bad we do not have ID cards in Nigeria. So no one can tell where these 'youths' are from or who paid them.  “For the first time in history, the divide and rule tactics of those who have kept us down failed and the Igbo voted more for President Jonathan than the people of the South-South.“Our gathering today is to bring the gathering of the dispossessed and oppressed people of the Middle Belt, Ndigbo people and the people of the Niger Delta together and we are going to move like a force. “ Nor worry. Dem go so do you de tin. You go soon hear 'whynnn' for your ears when Awusa soldiers send your azzze go Bakassi!!! WE GO SOON HEAR 'ON MY BAKASSI I SIDDON DEY LOOK LIKE ODE'. . .not 'On Aburi We Stand'!!! Mu he he he he he he You are on your own o! My people nor dey go Iyamiri land!!! Lai lai!!!!

Asari is his father's son. It takes GREAT COURAGE to openly reject falsehood and practically expiate. The man is earning my respect more and more.The future of Niger delta peoples and the rest us the Igbo nation is ONE. The middle belter is welcome too provided they keep Boko Haram away.

So everyone now wants to identify with the Igbos after years of pogroms and ethnic cleansings? That's good. Una eyes don dey clear now, but we are far smarter than that. *singing: the stone that dem builder refused, will always be the head corner stone* (Bob Marley: Acoustic Medley) |
