Suspension of Emefiele aimed at alienating Igbos from public offices ― Ohanaeze
The Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo has condemned the suspension of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN Governor, Dr Godwin Emefiele, describing it as a sign of ethnic cleansing and a deliberate attempt to alienate Igbos from public offices. Mazi Chima Uzor, director of the group’s National Interest Matters disclosed this in a statement on Saturday and according to Ohanaeze, Emefiele’s suspension did not follow due process.
Mr Godwin Emefiele The statement read, “The Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo Worldwide hereby condemns in its entirety the suspension of Dr Godwin Emefiele, the CBN Governor by the administration of President Bola Tinubu. “To say the least, this suspension is without due process and the arrest despite court order against DSS from arresting him is provocative and well-meaning Nigerians must resist it and ensure that it does not stand. “We view the development as clearly part of the new administration’s scheme of ethnic cleansing of the Igbos from public offices. “This is nothing but a witch hunting directed at the Igbos for no other reason other than they dared to oppose the new administration in the last general elections. “We are therefore asking President Bola Tinubu to beware of starting his administration with actions capable of driving an already shaking nation into chaos. “He should be humble enough to rescind this unpopular decision and allow Dr Emefiele to complete his term as the governor of the apex bank instead of rocking the boat and destroying all the reforms that were carried out by the CBN under Emefiele’s leadership.”

The 27-year-old has been banned from playing professional football for eight months, and cannot train with Brentford until mid-September, after admitting 232 of the 262 breaches with which he was charged at the end of last year.

The forward received a reduced ban because he has allegedly been diagnosed as a gambling addict, with the FA initially considering a 15-month suspension. The FA had alleged that Toney placed 13 bets on his former club, Newcastle, to lose in seven matches between August 2017 and March 2018, although he did not feature in any of those games. There is no evidence he gambled on any games he played in. Toney joined his current side Brentford in August 2020 but did not place any bets involving the Bees. Ivan Toney in Brentford Jersey.

A Nigerian YouTuber, Emdee Tiamiyu is trending online after a video of an interview he granted to the BBC went viral on social media.

Emdee Tiamiyu who spoke to the BBC backed the ban while claiming that most Nigerians migrating to the UK use schooling as a ploy to gain entry into the country.
He said; “So the student thing is not real. It is not like they need the degrees. “They need the degree as an access road to come into the country, so a lot of these people their priorities shifted real fast.” Dear @BBCNews, Nigerians have been made aware of a video showing your interview with one “Emdee Tiamiyu” who claimed that Nigerians do not go to the UK because they need the degree. For the avoidance of doubt, your interviewee has spoken strictly for himself & not for Nigerians. pic.twitter.com/thVIgkXI6Q — Francis Ebuara (@ushiebuaras) May 23, 2023
