SECESSION KII YOU THERE
I'm not sure Onyeka Onwenu is as popular in the south east, as she is in the south west. I saw her in a video, making dubious points about perceived ill-treatment of Igbos, suggesting Igbos should be allowed to leave Nigeria. Leave kor, Livinus ni.

In her gesticulation, to demonstrate Igbos leaving Nigeria, she made it look like Igbos seceding is like pushing a trolley filled with groceries out of the mall. Do these sulking geriatrics consider potentials for insurrection, armed conflict & loss of lives in the bid to secede?
Liberia's war lasted 14yrs with an estimated 250,000 killed, 87,000 women raped, children amputated. A Liberian that taught me vector integral calculus was in his finals at the University of Liberia when the University was bombed. All records he ever went to school was wiped out.
In Nigeria, he survived by organizing undergraduate tutorials, as nobody was willing to employ him, despite that it is apparent he's academically brilliant. He succeeded at getting a degree in Nigeria in 2013, 10yrs after Liberia's 14yrs war ended. 24yrs of his life was wasted!
It is forgivable if Igbos below 40 are asking for Biafra, as we should agree they've profited little from Nigeria's federal lopsidedness. But any middle class or elite Igbo, that are past their prime, who has benefited from Nigeria, asking for secession is a thief - onye oshi!
Onyeka Onwenu that became popular singing, "one love, keep us together" didn't see Hausas quarreling with Igbos over price of goat meat at Alaba Rago as an issue, until Buhari relieved her of her PDP appointment as
Executive Director of the National Centre for Women Development.

This 68yrs, respectable elderly Nigerian benefited immensely from a united country. She studied for a degree at Massachusetts and Masters in New York, all at the expense of a nation she's asking young Igbos to vamoose. She served for years at UN at the benevolence of Nigerian FG.
I had read about her father, Hon. Dixon Kanu Onwenu as an astute, cosmopolitan politician, one of the founding fathers of modern Port Harcourt; also educated at the expense of the Nigerian state. I had to revisit it to be see that madam Onyeka is the 4yrs old girl with him here.
Mummy Onyeka failed to tell her Biafra audience that in this same Nigeria, her father from Ideato North LG of Imo was elected to represent Port Harcourt at the Federal House of Rep. Igbos will not go anywhere until a Rivers person is also made a legislator in Imo.
I rest my case.
