Following the increasingly divisive talks from various segments of the country which became heightened with an ultimatum issued by some Arewa youths that Igbos vacate the north before October 1st, veteran Nigerian actor, Bob-Manuel Udokwu, has urged his Igbos brethren in the north to go back home, plan and establish their homeland.
The filmmaker, reiterated the fearless, hardworking and economic capabilities of Igbo people and asked them to come back with a little of what they have in the north.
He’s quoted saying;
“Igbo’s take their wealth to other tribes and develop the place. They are the only people that can go to other tribes, buy lands and transform them into roads and mansions.
Whereas the reverse is the case when the people Igbos share this country with come to Igbo land.
You hardly see them buy a piece of land talk of owning properties in Igbo land.
We accept them, live in peace with them and love them by giving them our food, water and everything they need to keep life going.
I am asking my fellow Igbos to come back. Let’s start doing good things from home. Just come with a little let’s beautify our blessed Igbo land.
