IPOB Shutdown of the South East

There is a major disconnect in Nigeria's geo political zones between its elected representatives and the aspirations of its people.

This vacuum was evident quite recently when the administration of Goodluck Jonathan conducted a parallel constitutional conference made up of nominated members from each of the zones even as it had elected representatives in its presidential layer system of government.

This disconnect has continuously produced virulent agitation by the military wings of the various tribes, and in the case of the Igbo, the rising profile of Nnamdi Kanu.

Many people might consign him as a trouble making trouble riser, but the force behind him is no joke as evidenced by the shutdown of economic activities including closure of schools and markets in the east.

Nnamdi Kanu created a storm by launching his Biafra Radio which drew record subscribers and ignited subdued Igbo nationalism.

He also created the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) group that has followership from the rank and file of Igbo people. So, strident and invocative where these two mediums that the government attempted several moves to shut them down and eventually arrested Nnamdi Kanu. He remains in detention today despite several court orders calling for his release.

Despite his detention the movement is unrelenting and there are several IPOB diplomatic missions all over the world where there are huge Igbo diaspora populations.

In the constitutional conference, there were several recommendations made that if implemented may have assuaged the feelings of ethnic militants but the present regime is not interested in implementing those recommendations.

One thing is clear the restive disco-ordinated movement resurrected by this new face in Igbo politics is no joke and is growing stronger in ideology, organization and legal advocacy across the globe in line with Brexit.

It is up to the Nigeria to take drastic action to address the core demands of tribal militants across the land before the fire the ignite tears the country apart

Igbophobia, Criminality and the Nigerian Army

Image
By Terhemba Osuji You can gauge the sadistic intent and mission objectives of the Nigerian army by the code names it gives to its operations.  We had crocodile smile in the Delta and now we are dancing with pythons, actual code name Operation Python Dance, coming on the heels of a scathing report by amnesty international about the civil rights violations by the army in the South East.  It is obvious to even the blind that the agitation for Biafra is in the nonviolence phase, yet buried in all the usual hogwash about providing security, is the direct and coded message to imagined rebel secessionist armed forces aka IPOB/Massob agitators that they will use the rules of engagement to disperse all peaceful demonstrations in the Nigerian army's press release about the new operation, a clear case of paranoia which must be labeled as Igbo phobia. From even the most casual observations it is obvious that nothing mobilizes Nigerians or its security forces more than taming Igbo in all s...

Nnamdi Kanu - The last Igbo Griot

Nnamdi Kanu is the last living Griot of IGBO History passed on from a long line of griots and medicine men over the centuries in Biafraland to him.  The spirits of Biafara land have been searching for a medium to pass on the knowledge for mass consumption to lost souls for ethnic revival and they have found Nnamdi Kanu to use as a communication medium to share the knowledge before the history is lost forever.  His seance revelations and prayer sessions are laced with Igbo theology and vernacular descriptions that sounds strange, but oddly and mysteriously familiar to all ndigbo, and all Igbo races across the land, because of signature correlations to their ethnic DNA.  Those spirits are confusing people by allowing Kanu speak about succession to camouflage his speaking in tongues, Providence May allow for the mans eartly wishes to be fulfilled, but that is not they real concern of those blood spirits. Mother Igbo is crying for all her sons who left their fathers compound ...

NDIGBO - STAND BY KANU OR STAND ASIDE

What has become of Ndigbo Bekonu? You cannot post anything whether advisory, strategic, realistic or self-effacing or recriminatory about Ndigbo attitudes or issues without Ndigbo attempting to crucify for sabotage against Ndigbo, it doesn’t matter whether you are an Amala or a politician or an academic or diasporan if you go against the unwritten and inflexible philosophical narrative code you will be torn to shreds, literally.   All Ndigbo, can read or hear anything and instinctively know whether you are speaking like an Igbo man on any issue most especially about politics and economic policy. There is no Igbo man in his hearts of hearts who is Not aggrieved about the state of Nigeria and most particularly the instinctive feeling of exclusion and marginalization and victimization of the Igbo race, it permeates every single narrative we engage in and it drives our motives no matter how politically correct we try to pretend. All that searing pent up resentment has been finding...
