Reno Omokri is of the opinion that unlike other ethnic
tribes, the Igbos are communal and would have rallied round to fulfill the
terms and conditions of publisher and activist, Omoyele Sowore's bail.
Recall that Sowore
who is standing trial for treasonable charges filed against him by the Federal
government, was in court yesterday October 21st where the judge revealed that
no one has come forward to stand as his surety for his bail conditions to be
fulfilled.
Reacting to this development, Reno Omokri via a post shared
on his Instagram page, said the bail conditions for IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu,
were more stringent than Sowore's, but they were all met because the Igbos
rallied round for one of their own. Read his post below
Despite the stringent
bail conditions set for Nnamdi Kanu, Igbos wasted no time fulfilling it.
Sowore’s bail terms are nowhere near as tough as Nnamdi Kanu’s, yet no one has
stood for him. Yet, while he was in detention and court, many people were
talking tough in his defence. It just tells you a lot about Igbo communal
spirit as compared to other ethnic nationalities. If Sowore was Igbo, he would
have been out of jail by now.
An Igbo Senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe, risked jail, put his
Senatorial office on the line, to stand as surety for Kanu. Are you trying to
tell me that none of Sowore’s kinsmen have ordinary ?50 million? I am yet to
see a people who love themselves like the Igbo.
In America, believe it or not, Igbo unions give new comers
loans to set up their own businesses. I have seen news stories of destitute
Nigerians abroad who need assistance. That can never happen to an Igbo. Other
Igbos in that community will rally round and rehabilitate him or her. Let us
all learn that self love from Ndi’Igbo and Nigeria will be better for it'' he
