Before Igbo Youth Go to War, Turn Igbo land into Japan of Africa TIJIA-Igbo Think Tank Tasks Elites

 Igbo Think Tank has tasked Igbo elites to urgently develop and turn Igbo land into the Japan of Africa before Igbo Youth frustrated and angered over years of marginalization, unemployment and unequal opportunities, declares full blown war on the Nigerian State. This was contained in the address presented by the Deputy Chairman Board of Trustees of Igbo Think Tank and Convener of the ITT Roundtable on Security and Economy, Rev Obinna Akukwe at Enugu on Friday. The Cleric and veteran Igbo activist urged the elites to quickly swing into action before South East Youth angling for war against the Nigerian State, takes over the space.

He described as “unfortunate the politics of Unknown Gunmen and the deplorable abandonment of over 170 corpses of Ndigbo at the Federal Medical Centre Owerri, whose evacuation by family members was only recently authorized, murdered under the guise of seeking for IPOB, ESN and UGM. He also decried as worrisome a situation whereby key Igbo activists shared relevant intelligence among themselves on the impending attack on the Owerri Prisons yet the agencies saddled with prevention pretended to be helpless when the jailbreak occurred. The same case repeated in the attack at Zonal Police Headquarters Ukpo, Anambra State, and instead of taking preventive measures, the state agents prefer to arrest , incarcerate and murder  innocent bystanders and travelers  after the gunmen have  have disappeared.

Rev Akukwe posited that “the menace of UGM is the handiwork of politicians, and the failures of intelligence have exposed their motive. He asked the elites in ITT to fast-forward the industrialization and technological development of the South East, through the TIJIA initiative, to ensure that millions of jobs are created for the teeming frustrated youth of the South- East before the disappointed youth takes up arm against the Nigerian State”.

Azikiwe, Ojukwu, Aguiyi-Ironsi gave us One Nigeria: Igbos Should Stop Blaming Others for their Woes

 Written by Obinna Akukwe

Nnamdi Azikiwe, Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi gave us the ‘One Nigeria’, which Igbos claim is suffocating them today, therefore, the misplaced aggression towards Obafemi Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, Ibrahim Babangida and Muhammadu Buhari for their perceived woes should first be directed at their kinsmen. It is therefore foolishness to pour invectives on Northern and Western leaders when the Igbo leaders of the pre-independence days, fought tooth and nail for the ‘Oneness’ of Nigeria.

This is the third time in my career as a writer, columnist and investigative journalist, that I will be using the term fools. The first time was in December 14th 2014 when some Igbo foolish politicians at that time were gloating over Jonathan for a Niger Bridge to be built by Public-Private Partnerships. I wrote a piece titled ‘Fraudulent Construction of Second Niger Bridge; Another 419 on the Igbo Nation’, and followed it up with another tilted ‘Auctioning of 419 Second Niger Bridge and Jubilation of Igbo Fools’ where I stated that:

“Lots of Igbo fools, including many top politicians, traditional rulers and other misguided elements jubilated when President Goodluck Jonathan was dragged by Ex Gov Peter Obi to belatedly commission an auctioned 419 2nd Niger Bridge that will be tolled for 25 years. This president while seeking for Igbo votes in 2010 promised to deliver the bridge before the end of his tenure. Five years later and a year to the expiration of the same tenure, they concocted a PPP arrangement to make the Igbo pay for the bridge through the back door”

Arrest: I Warned Nnamdi Kanu, Saved Him From Assassination!

 

Written by Obinna Akukwe

I warned Nnamdi Kanu publicly that there is a plot to assassinate him before October 1^st, 2021, and it is very unfortunate that he never took the warning serious, and made himself vulnerable for arrest. However, my consolation is that the forces that wanted him assassinated, heeded my public warnings that it will bring bloodshed to Nigeria, and instead opted for his arrest. I gave the warnings concerning plot to assassinate Kanu on June 9^th, and 75 Northern Groups placed a bounty of N100 million naira on his head, eight days later on June 17^th, and he was arrested on June 27^th, eighteen days after my warnings. Those who ignore my warnings or advice will surely land in net, be it Buhari, Kanu, Governors, Boko Haram or whatever.

Before the controversial APC botched primaries in Anambra, I begged some Igbo leaders to abandon the primaries, and let us negotiate with some aggrieve elements in the north to stave off an imminent evil is about to happen to Nnamdi Kanu, capable of triggering a bloody conflict in Nigeria. The Igbo leaders postponed the negotiations, claimed Kanu is invincible, and rescheduled the negotiations till after the APC and PDP primaries to ensure their favoured candidate wins. Alas! Delay is dangerous! Today the Biafra Youth Hero is arrested, and this time around, there will be no more bail for him.
