ANAMBRA State chapter of pan Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo has said that instead of calling for a sovereign state of Biafra, the proponents of the current agitation should use their pro-Biafra stand as a platform to demand a better life for Ndigbo. Speaking in an interview in Awka, President of Ohaneze in the state, Chief Damian Okeke said the pro-Biafra agitators should be made to realize that Igbo leaders would not support any agitation that would lead to war. Consequently, he advised that they tread softly while expressing their anger over the happenings in Nigeria.  Okeke said it would be foolhardy to expect Igbo people to abandon their investment in other parts of the country.  In addition, he said anybody who witnessed the Biafra War, like he did, would not want to experience another war. Nonetheless, he said the fear of war would not stop the Igbo from speaking against oppression. He said: “Anyone who is marginalized wi...
