Edochie said Igbos are scattered, with no particular goal, adding it is not struggle for anything that will bring them together but their cultural values.
According to the 70-year-old thespian, most Igbos do not even speak their language again, while calling on Igbo leaders to seek ways to bring the people together.
Edochie, who spoke in Igbo language, told newsmen at the events that mark his seventh birthday, “There are so many issues making me shed tears. One of them is that Igbo people are scattered. They are not in unity.
“If you take a close look at the Igbo, You will realize that they cannot fight together. Look, it’s not struggle for anything that will bring Igbo people together.
“Have you noticed that only Igbo people pray before eating kola nut? Why I’m saying this is because it is only the culture of the Igbo that can unit them.
“If you take a close look, you will also notice that in the whole of Nigeria, the Igbo people are the ones very mad about speaking English.
