And The Igbos Too Are Grounding Business Activities In Their Home Town by Realisticman: 5:12am On Dec 04, 2015
At the height of IPOB protest all over the South-East Nigeria, I have come to a conclusion that the government Establishment is the problem and not the masses.
When I was studying emotional treatment of diseases in alternative medicine I came across 'yin' and 'yang' anger.
Yang anger is an immediate out bust of emotional anger that sometimes may be short lived.
Yin anger is a long term accumulation of anger that when it comes out hardly goes down.
The long I have experienced about Nigeria, I realised that the masses have been neglected in favour of the very privilege few that are either in government or have a link to it.
Few instances:
The soldiers are trained never to be friendly to the masses. The late Fela said that "they leave sorrow tears and blood as their regular trade mark". OK, these are people trained and paid by the taxes of the same people they brutalize.
The police:
The baseless statement that police are your friends is not acceptable to even an infant. If not, why do parents even scold their children with 'I will call police for you' ?
The educational system:
It is no longer news on how the schools treat student like an out cast.
Is it electricity,power, roads ,industries etc. All of these are skewed to oppress the masses.
Every body is a government of his own, providing education,water,medical care, security and so on for himself.
This is why the masses soon descend on government institutions as a victim of their anger.
The average Igbo man is at least socialise . If not for other reasons, at least to sell his goods.
When the IPOB matter came up, they started to be so aggressive that I begin to wonder what is the problem.
Look Nigerians, the IPOB have legitimate claim- OPPRESSION! The yin anger comes into play due to long and accumulated anger.
Every other ethnic groups in Nigeria have such anger hidden somewhere and will one day come out.
The reason why the Yoruba's NADECO, the Housa's NORTHERN AGENDA and now the IPOB is LOUDEST is because of their numbers.
It is not only the Lion that Roar in the forest but the ants too hiss!
So I urge the IGBOS to air their grievance in the most civilised manner.
God Bless the poor masses of this Country!

Sorry brother it's only an educated person that thread the right in resolving and getting things done, most of those folks protesting only went to primary nd at most stopped at secondary education level, due to one reason or the other but it might interest you to know majority of them snubbed school cause of the love of money, now their elites are not been fair to them, instead of theses protesters to start by handling their elites who are the bane and master architect of their problems they instead chose to fight Nigerians and the Nigerian government, truth is every man alive have his or her own battles they fail to realize we the masses are all victims irrespective of tribe, region or religion.

But they are covertly backed by the same elites you are talking about either to divert their attentions away from the main problems or to use such uprising to make themselves relevant in the scheme of things in the society. Just look at how some wicked Hausa big men were instrumental to the escalation of boko haram by stealing the money budgeted to prosecute it. The masses, beware of the so called elites!
