Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide has countermanded the Indigenous People of Biafra’s (IPOB) directives to recite the Biafra anthems in public schools but supported the ban on cow meat.
The group in a statement on Wednesday by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro Secretary-General Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide warned that IPOB’s directives could lead to the ‘deployment of military Tucson fighter jets to southeastern Nigeria,”
”Reciting of Biafra anthem in public schools is now prohibited, forbidden and proscribed, as southeast is still an integral part of Nigeria, we can not afford to mislead, misinform and discombobulate our pupils into trending into a path that will attract grave consequences for Ndigbo, reciting the Biafra anthems in public schools is an invitation for the military invasion to the southeast”. Ohanaeze Ndigbo said
The Igbo apex group also enjoined IPOB to join Ohanaeze in the promotion of Igbo language, cultural heritage, and values in all southeast public schools, saying that ‘this is the best way to get our youngsters to remain committed and imbibe to the cultural values and heritage of Ndigbo”.
The statement reads: Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide has cautioned against the dangers associated with the vocalization of Biafra anthems in all public schools in the southeast as it will attract the attention of Federal Government to rescind on the request of Igbo leaders to release the Ipob leader Nnamdi Kanu, as FG might unleash her odious bitterness on the southeast , its destructive routes to the campaign for the Igbo Presidency in 2023, and dimensional lunacy capable of fertilizing the basis for possible military raids on all public schools in southeastern Nigeria with the ongoing ” Operation Golden Dawn”, ” we are saddled with the obligation to speak the truth to Ipob and others at all times, especially to prevent projects that will endanger the lives of Igbos by both internal and external organizations, reciting of Biafra anthem in public schools is now prohibited, forbidden and proscribed, as southeast is still an integral part of Nigeria, we can not afford to mislead, misinform and discombobulate our pupils into trending into a path that will attract grave consequences for Ndigbo, reciting the Biafra anthems in public schools is an invitation for the military invasion to the southeast”.
Imo stakeholders pass vote of confidence on Uzodimma’s govt
Ndigbo should flout such despicable orders of absurdity, as it will be the rationale for future deployment of military Tucson fighter jets to southeastern Nigeria,” rather than the enforcement of vocalizations of Biafra anthems in public schools, Ipob should join Ohanaeze in the promotion of Igbo language, cultural heritage, and values in all southeast public schools, this is the best way to get our youngsters to remain committed and imbibe to the cultural values and heritage of Ndigbo “.
We are in support of the ban on the consumption of Fulani cows and the use of it in Igboland for ceremonies or during festival seasons,” the recent insecurity challenges in southeastern Nigeria are created by killer herdsmen masquerading as cattlemen to perpetrate heinous onslaught against our local communities, the enforcement of the ban on consumption of Fulani cattle should be a protest against unhealthy and disease-infested cows being sold to Ndigbo”.
