Biafra: IPOB Has Woken Igbo Elites From Their Slumber – Nnamdi Kanu
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said the mode of his group’s campaign has woken Igbo elites from their slumber.
Kanu made the comment on Monday, September 4 in Owerri, the Imo state capital, after he met with the Alaigbo Development Foundation (ADF), as part of his consultations towards the realization for Biafra Republic.
According to Vanguard, ADF delegation at the meeting was led by its national president, Professor Uzodinma Nwala, while Kanu led senior officials of IPOB to the parley.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting, Kanu said: “I told them that I will update them periodically on what we are doing.
“I am glad that the elite are coming on board.
We are all elite, including the carpenter and the mechanic by the road side, who have understanding of the times, as long as they can make sense and articulate their viewpoints and channel them towards emancipating our people.
“Elitism is not purely about academics; it has to do with being able to articulate a sense of purpose for a people and pursuing it doggedly.”
He described the meeting as “a family meeting and not for public consumption,” adding that it was very fruitful.
According to him, the outcome of the meeting “will guide us in our efforts towards restoring Biafra.”
Alaigbo Development Foundation is a pan-Igbo organisation composed of some accomplished Igbo professionals, academics and the intelligentsia at home and in the diaspora with interest in Igbo cause.

There is no doubt that, the rise of IPOB and other similar groups has been occasioned by failure of Leadership and Governance in the South east. Unlike in the Western part of Nigeria, our leaders are not held to account. Igbo land will never remain the same.

How can you send soldiers with guns, armoured cars and other heavy equipments with a shoot at sight order on non violent mass movement agitating for self determination because of deliberate deprivation, marginalization and hatred of their people , killing them in their hundreds in cold blood and yet you want God to heal you of your sickness , and bless you. How possible is that. You think God is a man? He hates injustice and waste of his creation. Continue and let us see the result.

Don’t mind the useless guys. You can not be patronising your oppressor, you call his bluff and take him on.
