Igbos should participate in census wherever they are – Ohanaeze counters IPOB

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Sunday urged the Igbo to participate in the forthcoming national population census wherever they are located.

Ohanaeze’s remark is contrary to the call by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, that Igbos should return to the South East for the forthcoming national census.
IPOB in its directive said the census would be used as a mock referendum for Biafra.

However, the Secretary-General of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, in an Easter message to Igbo people, said the ethnic group should participate effectively in the census wherever they are located.

A statement by Isiguzoro reads partly: “Ndigbo should remain wherever they are and participate effectively in the forthcoming national census.

“The National Population Commission, NPC, must include religion and ethnicity as part of the data to be captured during the enumeration since it is in line with the wishes of the majority of Nigerians today who appreciate the importance of such data in our national life.”

Isiguzoro also urged security agents, IPOB, and the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, to work against insecurity in the South East.

“All stakeholders in the security of Ala-Igbo including our governors, traditional rulers, bishops/religious leaders, and most importantly, non-state actors such as IPOB, MASSOB, ESN, UGM, etc [must] work together to end insecurity in our homeland,” he added.

Okay then.

Lol una problem....


So adult av to be waiting for group of people before they can make decisions


No wonder some people dey wait for dere Pastor to come and tell dem Wu to Vote for adult no fit make decisions on derr own again in diz Era...

LMAO... Fake info concocted in Alausa. Igbos aren't only good enough for census in Lagos while you vehemently refused them their civic rights of voting. We aren't spectators but complete participants in everything we do. We will participate in places where our rights are respected. Besides, Ndigbo are not the only ethnic group in Nigeria. Allow us to do our choice. You have done yours already.

Who gives a f***

If una like participate, if una like make una ignore. Nigeria must move forward with or without you hypocrites.

That's the way to go for now.
The inclusion of ethnicity and religion is important so that everyone can participate effectively.

Doesn't work like that. Hausa people are travelling now as it stands yet Arewa Consultative Forum is not asking Hausa people to standby.

It's always the talkative Ohaneze talking trash. Igbo people should travel as well. It takes two to tango.

And the confusion continues

Whatever works for you!!

Nigeria will be Great 🤎

Maybe they shouldn't. Let their numbers outside SE remain speculation until electronic transmission and collation is achieved and Igbos can singlehandedly determines who becomes president

These people don't know the evils they are doing to themselves. These monsters have come to stay in their midst and it will take decades to conquer them. The funniest part of this is that the ipobs are not even annihilating the strangers. May God help them cos they hate the truth.

I AM NEVER GOING TO ADD TO THE LAGOS NUMBERS AGAIN, NEVER.

The funny thing is .. how can a fraction of individuals be telling an entire region what to do and what not to do??

Are people really this dumb ??

Tbh, the best move should be to be counted in your region of origin. The numbers will affect allocation and negotiation, generally. If you get counted in another region, you will improve that region's negotiation power. Yet, this won't stop them from telling you to go back to your region when election season comes.
Anyways, it's up to the Igbos to decide their politicking strategy.

Rubbish. I am going back to the east with my family to be counted, I will return to Lagos after the census. Since my vote does not count in Lagos, I will also not do census in Lagos.

Which other tribe is this divided?
one day God will heal Ibo people of all this confision

Hmmm

I think is time for every Igbo man and woman start condemning this ipob of people.

hardbody:


I AM NEVER GOING TO ADD TO THE LAGOS NUMBERS AGAIN, NEVER.

Inconsequential

A tree does not make a forest

Over other 250 tribes staying in Lagos.

Noisy neighbor

Developer of the world

Ipob miscreant are terrorists

Not really necessarily, less than 5% in population

Everyone, not only Igbos should remain at his/her base for the census.

Who cares..

Majority of them are just chest beating. People wey no fit go village during Xmas cuz of how insecure it is in SE, shey nah them wan con go for one consensus..

I laugh

I AM NEVER GOING TO ADD TO THE LAGOS NUMBERS AGAIN, NEVER.

Then we'll just allocate bogus numbers on your behalf much more than the number of your household.

Win win situation for us.

Simple.
