Ndi’Igbo
in Diaspora have decided to meet in Houston on the 29th – 30th
of January 2016, to debate their fate in Nigeria. The move is necessitated by
our past experiences and recent events in the country.
Ndi
Igbo have suffered genocide, pogrom, civil war and, continuous persecution in
Nigeria. For decades we have also been exploited economically, dominated
politically, segregated against, and humiliated spiritually. This gross
injustice to humankind must not be accepted as the new normal and must not
continue.
A
platform for a serious discussion has been established in Houston, Texas from
January 29 through January 30, 2016 to debate whether Igbo should stay in
Nigeria or opt out of it in light of these experiences. Speakers will boldly
confront the following question.
Does/Should Biafra represent the best aims
and worthiest purpose of Ndi Igbo in view of our experiences since the end of
the civil war?
Participants
who will speak to one or the other side of the debate must support their
opinions with facts and reasons devoid of sentiments. At the end of the debate
which will be broadcast live in the social media, an opportunity will be set up
for videoconferencing and for people to call in and participate in the
voting/referendum process through email, face book, twitter or any other
compatible social medium.
Stay
tuned for more details while you make arrangements to travel to Houston on
Friday January 29 thru Saturday 30, 2016 to be a part of this epoch and history
making Debate about the Fate of Ndi Igbo in Nigeria.
Signatories.
