I Hold No Grudge against Those that Tossed Me out – Senator Ike Ekweremadu

Former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, who received an unexpected baptism of fire yesterday in Germany, has said that he holds no grudge against his baptizers. The senator who attended the Second Annual Cultural Festival and Convention organized by Igbos living in Germany made the statement through his Media Assistant, Uche Anichukwu, in Abuja.

Ekweremadu arrived in Nuremberg, Germany, yesterday where, according to him, he was billed to give a keynote address along with the President-General of the proscribed Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo. The senator somehow got more than he bargained for as some aggrieved Igbo youths arrived at the scene to toss him out, expressing dissatisfaction over the nonchalant attitude of Igbo politicians over the incessant killings going on in Biafra land.

Confirming the unfortunate encounter in a press statement through his media assistant, Uche Anichukwu, the disgraced senator said, “Much as I am disappointed in their conduct, especially as I am one of the persons, who have spoken up on justice for Ndigbo, the Python Dance, judicial killings in Igbo land and elsewhere, both on the floor of the Senate and in my written and personal engagements with the Presidency as well as rallied the South East Senate Caucus to secure Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s release with Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe taking him on bail to douse tension in the South East, I nevertheless do not hold this to heart against them, for they know not what they do.”

The aggrieved Igbo youths that confronted Ekweremadu were sending a message to all politicians of Biafra extraction, and the senator seems to have gotten the message, hence his pronouncement of holding no grudge. The clause in the ‘no grudge’ statement, “for they know not what they do,” is understandably a wise man’s way of retaining pride. And yes, he can keep his pride for the encounter was not to assault his person but to draw his attention to urgent matters he and his co-politicians seem to be overlooking.

The downtrodden people of Biafra who have been so grossly overlooked by the elite who claim to represent them are therefore hoping that other politicians in the region will get the message delivered to them via the Ekweremadu encounter and turn a new leaf.

Baptism of Fire as Senator Ike Ekweremadu Gets Tossed Out

August 18, 2019

By Nelson Ofokar Yagazie | Biafra Writers

Igbos living in Germany yesterday vented their anger on Igbo politicians using Ike Ekweremadu as an instance. The expression of anger took place in Nuremberg, Germany, where the Igbo community gathered to celebrate the sacred feast of Iri Ji (New Yam Festival). Ekweremadu, a distinguished guest, arrived to add colour to the feast but received the baptism of fire as some angry youths registered their indignation in a way the senator wouldn’t forget in a hurry.

According to sources, the Iri Ji festival was progressing peacefully until some aggrieved youths arrived at the scene to chase the Senator away, asking him to return home. From the videos making the rounds, it could be heard of the indignant youths shouting at the senator “Our people are being killed back home by Fulani and you come here to eat yam?”

Villagers are being killed in their numbers by the terrorist Fulani herdsmen. When the army is not killing and abducting our people in the name of Python Dance and Crocodile Smile, they are shooting them at checkpoints over 100 naira bribe. The police kill even over 20 naira. Yet our politicians keep a blind eye, seeking pleasure at the expense of the people’s life.

Rather than attend the just concluded Biafra Genocide Exhibition in London, former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, flew to Nuremberg, Germany, feast. Why any reasonable man – a senator come to that – would choose a house of feast over a very vital gathering of sober reflection such as Biafra Genocide Exhibition remains a baffle. Does such an act really cast the senator as one mindful of history and wellbeing of his people? The pleasure-seeking senator seems ignorant of the biblical injunction, “rather to be in the house of mourning, than in the house of feasting,” (Ecclesiastes 7:2). The treatment he got though seems to be a brain-resetting one.

What happened to erstwhile Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, is an expression of dissatisfaction; a reminder to the elite that power belongs to the people. Those in position of authority should therefore use it to the benefit of the common man whom they serve.

GERMANY - The grand opening of the headquarters of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, took place today December 8, 2017 at Dussedorf  Germany.

It has entered into history as divinely endorsed that today, the worldwide headquarter of IPOB was opened in the same country where Belin Conference was held to decimate Africa in 1884 - 1885. Apparently, this  is a sign of a new down for not only the Indigenous People of Biafra, but also for the entire black race and humanity at large.

The deputy leader of the the Indigenous People of Biafra Mazi Uche Mefor, on this epoch making occasion, made a very powerful speech before the opening of the IPOB worldwide headquarters in Germany.
