Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke, has urged youths in the south East region, to shun all forms of vi*lence and embrace peace.
Speaking at an event in Owerri, Imo State, on Saturday, October 24, Ikye said that the expl*sives being thrown in the region were affecting the economy of the zone.
He suggested that instead of vi*lence, government and the aggrieved people should seek dialogue as way to settling their differences. He urged the youths to amplify their voices on youths that worry them instead of taking to weapons.
He said the Igbo as the most disenfranchised in Nigeria and advised that the Igbo leaders should work in the direction of correcting the bad governance in the region.
According to him, “Nobody condones bad thing. Discussion is still the way forward. We can amplify our voices in so many ways instead of k*lling ourselves. Don’t forget this destr*ction is not outside of Igboland it is inside our land. We are k*lling ourselves by ourselves. A house fi*hting itself in the same house will only collapse.”
