IPOB: Igbos Have Been Brainwashed With Biafra Agitation – Ngige

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has stated that Igbos have been brainwashed by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in the Southeast.

New Minimum Wage To Be Implemented Immediately - FGNgige said the separatist group had brainwashed people of the Southeast into believing that Biafra would bring an end to unemployment and economic challenges in the region. He, however, cautioned against such a notion, stressing that the Nigerian government was working towards resolving those challenges.

The minister spoke at a stakeholders’ meeting of the Association of Eze Ndigbo in the 19 Northern States and Abuja yesterday.
Ngige said: “People have been brainwashed and the separatists humped on that foundation to now shout from the rooftops that we will give you Biafra and when we give you Biafra, all these things will disappear.

IPOB“There is no country that does not have its own problems. We have economic problems here, which is why we have unemployment and of course, we have a youth bulge in our population. About 60 per cent of them are youths and a lot of them are unemployed. So, the government is devising ways to tackle that. It is a work in progress.”
