Popular musician, Onyeka Onwenu has bared her mind on Biafra.
She said; “If the country breaks up, I will prefer to return to the South-East. People of the South East, especially those in the diaspora should develop the region.”
“It doesn’t take away whatever you are doing in Lagos, Abuja, or Port Harcourt. You are free to live and do business wherever you are but remember back home, we are being marginalised for a long time. And our people have always done things for themselves.”
“We built the Imo Airport. I was part of the process. It remains the only airport in the country that was built by the citizens and handed over to the Federal Government.”
“My father went to school abroad, people in his home town collected money and supported him. That’s how we do things, we are communal people. So, I’m not afraid to go back home.”
“If Nigeria breaks up, I will go back to the South-East because I want to go back home. And even if we don’t split, I want to do so much there.”
“Nigerians should play less on tribalism by focusing on the positives inherent in the different ethnic groups that make up the country.”
“Nigerians should uphold the country’s unity and stop insulting and denigrating each other. We are blessed with the richness of our culture and everyone should see themselves as one and not let divisions break the country.”
