The Igbo socio-political group, Ohaneze Ndigbo, has dissociated itself from the agitation for secession and stead opts for the restructuring of the country.

The group, a representation of elders of South East, flayed the campaign launched by Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) to secede from Nigeria.
The elders insisted that the restructuring of Nigeria was the solution to the political and economic problems of the country.
The attempt by the region to secede led to the three years civil war from 1967 to 1970 in which over two million people were killed.
Kanu, is currently facing treason trial, but released recently following intervention by the elders.
The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Ohanaeze, Mr. Chuks Ibegbu, said in Abuja on Monday that the group believes more in a restructured Nigeria.
They want a Nigeria that has a level playing field for all sections of the country; “a Nigeria that gives each part of the country a sense of belonging’’.
“For example, in a country of 36 states, the South-East has five states and 95 local governments; while Kano State alone has 44 local governments.
“The other time, we saw the statistics of recruitment in the Department of State Services with Katsina State alone having 51 allocations.
“Yet, we have the Federal Character Commission.
“We want the FCC to investigate the recent recruitment in the DSS. Abia State got only six allocations; Enugu State, six; Katsina, the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari, got 51 slots.’’
He said that there was no level playing ground in Nigeria, stressing that Abia State alone produces more graduates than 10 states in the North combined, “yet you gave them only seven opportunities and gave Katsina 51’’.
“We are not saying Nigeria should be divided, but the issues these young men are talking about should be addressed. Instead, it seems they want people like Nnamdi Kanu to shut up without addressing the issues, judging by the bail conditions (they gave him).”
He said that the issue of secession should be forgone, adding that what Nigeria needs now is restructuring.

“We are not saying Nigeria should be divided

MASSOB, Ohaneze Ndigbo and all the Eastern governors are doing the same thing - unity begging.

It is becoming more and more glaring that iporks is an association of frustrated and illiterate touts disturbing the peace of this country.

Bunch of reprobates

What are you talking about? Ohanezes position is that if there cant be restructuring, then Igbos should be allowed to pull out of Nigeria.

For ipob miscreants

Mazi criminal KANU shall know the truth

Only the Truth can set then free

Ohaneze weldone

If pictures showing MASSOB leaders begging Ango Abdullahi for unity can be denied, is it scripts that won't be?

Abeg I no fit shout.

Igbo elders understood what is at stake. Nigeria is a country with lots of potentials if properly managed. All we need is to come together and ensure we keep putting pressure on our leaders till we get things right. There is unity in diversity and we are definitely better together as a big, strong and united country.

Yes, there are issues with the structure of the federation but the issues affect all regions and not limited to any particular region. These issues are not insurmountable if we are all committed to the Nigerian project.

When even a picture showing MASSOB leaders begging Ango Abdullahi for unity was denied, is it scripts that won't be?

Abeg I no fit shout.

I saw the same picture.The leader of MASSOB is Uchenna Mmadu and he wasnt there.

Why would MASSOB be begging Ango Abdullahi? An old man who holds no high office. Maybe you like believing any headline

I tell you the truth, majority of Nigerians want restructuring except the elites. I am not Igbo but now l appreciate your ohaneze, God bless you ohaneze. I'm solidly behind you

Ohaneze Ndigbo has never been in of secession, maybe they are afraid I don't know. IPoB are the ones that are clamouring for Biafra.

But anyone who has been to the east will know that Ohaneze ndigbo is just an ordinary nomenclature as they do not command the confidence not ndigbo talk more of the youths. IPoB is more active than any group or groups in Igbo land, therefore, they are clearly in the majority and only their opinion matters.
If you doubt me ask May 30th.

Don't mind the guy. His efforts will be in Vain, as they will have the opposite effect. We've seen people like him before and they only serve to push Biafran cause further. IPoB exposed comes to mind.

Your people are disproportionately affected by disease, poverty, starvation and illiteracy. Clearly being a "first class" citizen has done nothing to improve your wretched situation.

@OP. To cut it short:

-The individual who made that statement is currently under suspension, according to Chief Nwodo, the President of Ohaneze Ndi-Igbo.

-Chief Nwodo also said the young man views doesn't represent that of Ohaneze and he as the President has directed the apex organization's media wing to write to media houses not to publish the boys views as that of Ohaneze.

-Take a listen:
