Don’t Bring Your Biafra To Lagos, Igbo Traders Warn Nnamdi Kanu

Following the planned visit of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB to Lagos State, Igbo traders in the state have warned Nnamdi Kanu to keep his Biafra agitation in the South East.

Speaking to Sunday Telegraph on behalf of the traders, Chairman of the Alaba Amalgamated Traders Association, Chief Chiemeka Ibeh, said that Kanu’s visit will make Nigerians think they are in support of his call for secession and would spoil their business.

They warned Kanu and his supporters that “taking their Biafra outside the East amounts to warmongering.”

They said, “He [Kanu] should keep his Biafra in the East where our unemployed youths are following him all over the place, not knowing what they are dabbling into.

“Most of these youth do not understand what Biafra is about and what it has cost Igbo people.

“Since his actions led to the quit notice by the Arewa youths, I expected Kanu to have paid upfront all transport companies on the northern route to be conveying Igbo people who might be interested in coming back to the East, but he has not paid a kobo to anybody. Is he bothered about the economic wellbeing of the people whom his actions could dislocate?”
