"...People
of Biafra: You let Orji Uzor Kalu go scot-free. You let Iwuanyanwu get
away without sanction. You let the Uba’s get away with murders. Scores
of their ilk you let go without any penalty for damaging our defenseless
people. These are all persons who sold their soul to Nigeria and became
Nigeria’s vehicle for running over, maiming, crippling and killing our
people. They did that for selfish gain and for greed, and they sold us
out as the pun in their diabolical game. Today, Ohakim is following in
their footsteps: are we going to let this happen? Are we going to let
him get away, scot-free For one, we all know this without waiting for
instructions: we are not going to participate in any Nigerian elections
in our land. So, we boycott the next elections. Of course, the
elections, if they hold, will be rigged and there will be violence; but
we boycott these elections because it is wrong for us to participate in a
process that not only offers us neither value nor benefit, but is
guaranteed to rubberstamp Nigeria’s humiliation of our people and
humiliating selection and imposition of “leaders” over us without our
consent. Next, in keeping with our cultural practice, we ought to shun
Ohakim for this egregious offense, for this aru. So, plan to boycott any
and all Nigerian elections; for now, shun Ohakim; look the other way
and spit when you see him. Don’t speak to him, but make it known in
other ways that his was an act of aru. ”

VOBI 11 20 09: ARE THEY WAKING UP AT LAST, OR WHAT?
When
we read in Vanguard Newspaper of November 14 2009 a statement credited
to the President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo Chief Ralph Uwechue: “Igbo
marginalization can break up Nigeria” we couldn’t help but experience a
fleeting moment of satisfaction and even relief. At last, an Igbo leader
is stepping up to the plate; at long last an Igbo leader is showing
some spine and may be even balls. May be an Igbo leader will stand up
and speak truth to corrupt power; may be Igbo leaders will rise from
their moral death beds; may be; just may be.
The
statement by Chief Uwechue is really not such an earth shattering
revelation, or even such a big deal especially as everyone knows that
Nigeria is already dead and just waiting to be buried, and especially as
Chief Uwechue is still talking about building the “Nation” called
Nigeria, whatever that means. However, the mere fact that Chief Uwechue
pointed at just a tiny fraction of the horrific bad faith which the
Sokoto Caliphate, and the Hausa Fulani Yoruba oligarchy have displayed
towards the Igbo in the half a century existence of so called
independent Nigeria is worthy of note. That such a tiny and
non-threatening statement evoked even the slightest notice by anyone
tells us a lot about the depth of despair the Igbo has suffered in
Nigeria. Can you imagine what would have happened if the Cardinals and
Bishops in all our churches, world-acclaimed international writers and
intellectuals... More... More Commentaries...
