The events of the last 2 years have shown one fact- the elders in Igboland have lost their way and as a result the youths have lost their sense of direction.

How else would one explain the emergence of Radio Biafra as led by Nnamdi Kanu to incite hate and forment trouble in Nigeria?

The Biafran agitation post-civil war is not new. The Ralph Uwazurike led Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has been agitating for a long time prior to the emergence of Nnamdi Kanu's Independent People of Biafra (IPOB). There were protests, arrests and releases. Other regions too have different groups claiming they want Independence from Nigeria -the Oodua People’s Congress (APC) and the Arewa People’s Congress (APC) in the North.

However, these groups had not employed hate speech as a tool until Nnamdi Kanu came along. His offensive broadcasts created resentment and agitation across ethnic lines and when he arrogantly entered Nigeria despite his subversive activities was promptly arrested. His being charged to court and eventual release on bail dragged for months due to the government's strategy of stretching the legal process to its limits obviously for security reasons.

Many have argued that this has made Nnamdi Kanu popular. For decent people, this need to be a problem, one just needs to look at the following that some Nigerian musicians have to understand that popularity can be achieved without becoming a national security threat.

But not so for Nnamdi Kanu, he has continued to verbally instigate people he perceives to be his opponents within and outside Igboland even bragging that 'elections will not hold'.

Instead of abiding by his bail conditions, he is flouting them.

I ask: where the leaders of Igboland in all of these?

The problem with being obnoxious is that there is no monopoly of it. Now, a coalition of Arewa Youth groups have followed in Kanu's path and threatened Igbos with violence on October 1 if they do not leave the North. As crazy and terrible this is, we have to trace it back to Nnamdi Kanu, leaders and youths of the Southeast who failed to call him to order.

The solution to this dire situation is for the people of the Southeast to curb their recalcitrant son to create a cordial atmosphere. This will also help calm the recalcitrant youths in the North and elsewhere. While true leaders across different parts of the country work together to build a better country for all.

Failure to do this would create huge problems for everybody and that would be unfortunate indeed because it would take Nigeria back many years and put the Igbos in particular in a dire situation.

wingman:
Maclatunji, stop worrying for the Igbos
Call your fathers and elders in Yoruba land to address the rampant cases of ritual killings in the land. Another huge ritualist den has just been discovered in Lagos /Ogun. This should be your major headache at this time.

TheCabal:
As usual IPOB .. not different from an argument between patience uzokwor and nkem owoh

lofty900:

Your cowardice and mumu posts amazes me.

madridguy:
Awaiting for the arrival of the ipork miscreants to attack the poster as usual.

Thanks @ OP, I think the good people of IGBO land are doing their best to place Kanu where he belongs to but the problem now is the PDP. We have some PDP money bags using his hate gospel to disrupt the present administration.

I am only concerned about women and children.

Only a foolish fool in the image of human being with the intellect of a pig can possibly wake and have the above thought process. I know the poster of the above post never heard that "change, ironically is very constant in nature". In addition, the poor rapscallion has never grasp the fact that self determination is a selfless endeavor known to human beings. Sometimes I wonder endlessly why any dumbass jackass should be twisted out of human form simply because a certain group of individuals has decided to terminate the unholy union the colonialists frosted on Nigerians. If the actualization of Republic of Igbo land or Biafra will send multitude of Nigerians to a hellish land, I say may almighty creator make such actualization to happen everyday. Nigeria will never see peace until Republic of Igbo land or Biafra is actualized.
