*Points some mistakes on the side of IPOB
Onitsha based journalist turned preacher Evangelist Theo Rays Ejikeme has observed that notable Igbo leaders are succumbing to pressure from the on going military operation in the southeast tagged Python Dance and the proscription of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) by a Federal High Court to wish Biafra project and its protagonist away.
Loading ...Speaking at a Church service in Onitsha during which he flagged off what he called Special Prayer Focus on Ndigbo, Ejikeme who is the founding Minister of Sounds of God and Solution Ministries contended that Biafra and IPOB cannot be wished away even though IPOB made some mistakes, as according to him Biafra represents the tool upon which Ndigbo as a tribe or race would realise their God given talents and galvanise their potentials into reality to catch up with the developed countries.
He pointed out that IPOB made some mistakes by demonstrating outright hatred with the agitation, heaping vituperative statements and casting aspersions on Nigeria and international leaders confronting Nigeria government by declaring that they won’t allow federal government to conduct elections in the southeast. He called on IPOB to do introspection with a view to review their system operations and buy into his prayer project.
The preacher grave more reasons why Ndigbo should not wish Biafra away for two reasons bothering on the fact that Nigerians are showing no sign to fix their country and move along with the developed world and secondly people from other regions with some foreign collaborators since Independent have never shown any meaningful interest to get the best out of the Igbo man for the betterment of the country.
He argued “Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe was an unbeatable political mind in the Continent of Africa but Nigerian and their foreign collaborators muzzled him out and denied him the chance to lead Nigeria. As Vice President, Dr Alex Ekwueme demonstrated a sound quality of would be a better President than Shehu Shagari but when they see that Ekwueme is impressive enough to take over from Shagari they overthrew Shagari government to destroy him
“As Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Professor Chukwuma Soludo revived the Nigeria banking sector that was on the threshold of collapsing, but when his first tenure expired they denied him the chance to go for a well deserved second tenure. As Senate President Ken Nnamani rejected massive offer to kill third term bid of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, but how has Nigerians appreciated that?
“As Minister of Power, Professor Bath Nnaji initiated moves to fix the country’s ailing power sector but when they see that credit for achieving such a great feat would an Igbo man they pull him down. No right thinking person will be happy seeing that one person is holding three portfolios in a country where people who can do same job well are available and ready to serve.
He continued “Ndigbo have to accept Biafra as alternative to Nigeria following the continued failure of the world’s most populous black nation to fix their system and catch with developed. And unless Nigerians and their foreign collaborators retrace their steps to give Ndigbo chance to unleash their talents toward fixing Nigeria and move the country along with developed world, nobody can stop the restoration of Biafra.
