Ohanaeze Youth Council is the Apex sociocultural organization of all Igbo youths, to promote sociocultural, political cum economic development in Igbo land. 

At the Inception of Ohanaeze in 1976 it was Igbo Union until 1979 it was renamed Ohanaeze Ndigbo. Until 1997 there was no Youth body of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, but at the peak of the tenure of Justice Eze Ozobu of blessed Memory in 1998 Some pro- Igbo student's then approached Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by Justice Eze Ozobu to establish the Youth body of Ohanaeze Ndigbo. Immediately Justice Eze Ozobu who solely believe in successional leadership approved the Establishment of "OHANAEZE YOUTH COUNCIL (OYC) and Comrade Nnandi Nwokeocha from Enugu became the National president, who held the position for three consecutive times, followed by Comrade Frank Orji from Abia who came in at the 2010 National Convention.

OUR MISSION

We must together hold our Igbo political office holders, Governors, Senators, Reps, ministers etc responsible, charity begins at home. They are mostly responsible for the colossal leadership failure we had in Igbo. Obviously,it's not totally the Hausa/Fulani as we assumed over the years.. Our Igbo political office holders constitute 75% cause of marginalization we have experienced in Igbo land we must engage them critically to wake up. Our target is to mobilize Igbo Youths for the following mission/ objectives

1. Functional Seaport

(A) Azumini (blue River) is 30 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean( strategically located connecting Rivers State, Akwaibom State, and Abia State)

(B) Obeaku- Ndoki Is 25 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean.

(C) Oseakwa (River Ulasi) Ihiala Anambra that linked to Osemoto Oguta River Imo State Is only18 nautical to Atlantic Ocean with 20m deep without dredging. Do you know that Ulasi is the deepest River in Nigeria, (Strategically located connecting Anambra Imo, Delta, Beyelsa and Enugu)

(D) Ibaka Akwaibom Is 30 nautical mile to Atlantic Ocean.

Why do we have Moribund Seaports in Igbo land? It's is a deliberate orchestrated conspiracy, which the Northern political Mafians and Yorubas conspired and declare that Niger Delta Area is unsafe for Importation and exportation of goods. Do you know that 98% of agitation in Niger Delta as regards militancy is sponsored by Oil companies in collaboration with the Northern Mafians. 

Now they are playing another game for States to manage their own solid minerals. This is a pure conspiracy for the Northern states that have gold to manage their gold, while the liquid mineral in Igbo land will be managed by FG.

(E) Calabar is 45 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean.

(F) Onne is 50 natural miles to Atlantic Ocean.

(G) Bonny Is 45 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean.

A functional seaport is the only way to transform ala Igbo to economic hub of West Africa. 

The economic destiny of Ndi Igbo lies in Maritime business..

Ndi Igbo must rise now to seek for economic survival.

The sociopolitical cum economic survival of Ndi Igbo lies on the new generational leaders (The Youths)

There is a deliberate conspiracy to undermine economic development in Igbo land, actually we're not landlocked. We must break this conspiracy and make Ala Igbo a prosperous land in Africa. 

2.Functional International Standard Airport

There is urgent need of standard cargo airport in ala Igbo, this will boast our economic development and industrial development.

3. Connecting Ala Igbo to Modern Railway

All the cities in Igboland, Portharcourt, Aba, Nnewi, Asaba, Orlu, Okigwe, Umuahia, Onitcha, Obigbo, Ikwerre, Enugu, Nsukka, Afigbo, Owerri, Abakiliki, Calabar, Ibaka etc

4. Connecting Ala Igbo to National Electric Grid

(for industrial revolution)

lack of National Electric Grid has made no single company to survive in Igbo land.

5. Connecting Ala Igbo to Industrial Gas Pipeline

Ala Igbo is the Highest depositors of Gas in Nigeria)

6. A missive campaign/ political consultative engagement for the Re-opening of department of Chemical Engineering at UNN that was shutdown since 1970 after the war

The best department in African and Among 10th best Department in the world in Early 60's)

7. A massive Campaign/ political consultative engagement to construct the federal road that lead to Abuja, from Anambra Otuocha/ Nmiata to kogi by extension to Abuja

(only 3hrs drive from the Eastern Nigeria to Abuja)

We must Kindly disregard the conspiracy of exclusive list, the only fact in the exclusive list is the printing of currency which the state can't do, but any other item there can be executed by the state. If state government can build federal road and seek refund from federal government, the same state government can seek dredging our potential Seaports, Ring inter-state road of Igbo extraction, build power station, converting of waste through building recycling industrial that can create job and generate electricity, creation of new micro and mini cities in Igbo States by attract new infrastructural development in rural Area like Banks, Schools, hospital, markets and small scale industries. 

Over 50 years we have been hearing about Aba, Nnewi, Onitsha, Awka, Owerri, Asaba, Portharcourt, Calabar, Umuahia, Abakiliki, till today no one can point at any new City established in Igbo land by our Governors. Creating a new City in areas like Ezeagu, Ozubulu, Owerre Nta, Umuagwo, Mbaise, Mbano, Ohaozara, Uturu, Ariam etc will be done by an Igbo man.

 We must come together to liberate Igbo land from shackle of bad leadership from Igbo political office holders

The masses are the most powerful people on Earth. Ndi Igbo must convert their population into a political capital , we constitute 42.8m of total population of Nigeria, the Fulani's are not more than 7m. Therefore, it is mathematically very wrong for minority to marginalize the majority.

Join Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC) Enugu State today for better future tomorrow.

Thank You, I remain your humble servant ;
