A frontline industrialist, Mr Godwin Ezeemo, has called on the pro-Biafra protesters to have a re-
think of their actions and consider its consequences on the generality of the Igbo residing in different
parts of the country and tread with caution.
He said grounding businesses in the South East, destroying properties of their brothers, and
preventing women from fending for their families, among other negative implications of violent
protests, do not give credibility to their call, rather dialogue and diplomacy must be employed in
resolving any issue of interest, not war or confrontational principle.
Ezeemo said that 99.9 per cent of the people parading themselves today as pro-Biafra crusaders and
going about their agitation in a violent manner did not see or experience the 1967- 1970 Nigerian
civil war and as such do not know the consequences of their action.
He called on the protesters to go home and ask their parents, uncles, war veterans in their various
localities what it means to incite war and its benefits. “There is nothing good that will come out of
conflict, confusion, crisis, not to talk of war where every where will be in comatose.
