Ace Nollywood actor, Bob Manuel Udokwo, has reacted to the quit notice served to the Igbos by the Northern youth coalition. This is coming days after tension flew high following the declaration of the Northern youth coalition which called for the eviction of Nigerian Igbos from the north, sponsored and supported by the ‘Northern Elders Forum’ with Ango Abdullahi as spokesperson. Igbos of the eastern extraction have less than 90 days according to the ultimatum given by northern youth groups to vacate the north for good. The statement made by the coalition has been the major cause of this high tension enveloping the nation. Igbos please come back home – Bob-Manuel Udokwu begs.

But in his reaction, the veteran film producer and Anambra State-born thespian urged all Igbos in the north to come back, plan and establish in their homeland. Udokwu, in his speech, reiterated the fearless, hardworking and economic capabilities of Igbo people and asked them to come back with a little of what they have in the north.
Vanguard is reporting that the actor noted that he has trust, belief and confidence in his people perhaps the way he charged them to come back with just a ‘little’. According to him “Igbo’s take their wealth to other tribes and develop the place.
He said, “They are the only people that can go to other tribes, buy lands and transform them into roads and mansions. Whereas the reverse is the case when the people Igbo’s share this country with come to Igbo land. You hardly see them buy a piece of land talk of owning properties in Igbo land. We accept them, live in peace with them and love them by giving them our food, water and everything they need to keep life going.
