Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide, which is the apex body of all Igbo sociocultural organizations all over the world is undergoing serious trial at the moment.

There are growing fears that if the current challenge of defining its exact leadership is not properly handled, it might lead to the establishment of splinter groups. By implication ridiculing the image of the Igbo nation before other major tribes in Nigeria,Africa and the world all over.

This stems from the fact that three distinguished personalities are currently claiming to be the President General of the apex body of all Igbo organizations.

The personalities are Senator John Azuta Mbata, whose executive is presently the occupants of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo National secretariat,located at No 7 park avenue, GRA,bEnugu.
Senator Mbata-led Ohanaeze Ndigbo moved into the national secretariat aftermath of the January 10,2025  General Election during which he was elected unopposed.

The second faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership is led by Barr.Uchenna Okwukwu as its President General. The group claims they were elected at a national convention of the organization held at Port Harcourt,the Rivers state capital and that it was massively attended by delegates from several Igbo communities.

IPOB Sit at Home Insecurity: Cubana Chief Priest was Right

Written by  Obinna Akukwe

 

I  was recently told by an Indigenous Peoples of  Biafra , IPOB Chieftain that Mr Paschal Chibuike, also known as Cubana Chief Priest  was  callous for claiming that he relocated the headquarters of his business from Owerri to Lagos due to insecurity caused by IPOB and their Sit-at Home, and my response was frank, Cubana Chief Priest was right.

After the claims made by the Cubana Chief Priest THAT INSECURITY MADE HIM RELOCATE HIS BUSINESS HEADQUARTES TO Lagos,  the leadership of IPOB claimed that Governor Hope Uzodimma and all agents of darkness are using him against Ndigbo. The IPOB Chieftains all over the globe condemned him as an agent of darkness, a traitor to the Igbo cause and made mockery of his fortune in the entertainment business, despite them enjoying the same entertainment hotspots. I dare say again that Cubana Chief Priest was Right in relocating his entertainment business out of the South East for reasons open to logical minds.

The IPOB Sit at Home has crippled businesses in the South East, since it was forcefully enforced for every Monday, since 2021. Many foreign investors plying their trade in the South East have quietly relocated to the South West and South South. Many Indigenous business owners, especially the security conscious ones,  have relocated out of the South East.

Simon Ekpa, Nigerian Police and Biafra kidnapers OF Lagos Igbo traders

 

Rev Obinna Akukwe

Simon Ekpa, the Prime Minister of a faction of Biafra, in the wake of the murder of some kidnapers during gun duel at Ladipo market area, have termed the Nigerian Government terrorist for killing nine kidnappers who have been terrorizing the Igbo markets and predominant Igbo communities in Ladipo and Lagos in general.

The Nigerian police under a Yoruba Inspector General, Egbetokun, former Aide-de Camp to Bola Tinubu, equally Yoruba, who became President of Nigeria in May 2023, sent his men of Special Squad to neutralize eleven persons , mostly Biafrans, Biafra lovers and funders of Biafran cause , who happened also to be kidnapping Biafrans to the tune of billions of naira.

These dare devil kidnappers have been known to arrest, keep people in detention for months till they pay the stipulated ransome.
As the leader of Igbo Mandate Congress IMC, an Intelligence Based Igbo Group, mandated by God to Shepherd Ndigbo into Greatness, through Positive Changes Evident Across Africa’ I have access to information on many things happening within and outside Igboland, that affects Ndigbo.
