...if the SE governors and political leadership, elites, business moguls, igbos in general didn't speak out or condemned this tag of 'terrorist' then history and posterity won't be kind to them.

The most important question is "what does the law say?"

Are we beholden to failed political leadership, so-called elites, and useless moguls? Are we obliged to listen when they speak? Can't we arrive at our logical conclusion? Or what's the point of education if another must tell you what to do or say?

Good One , IPOB is a terrorist group, simple and final

buhari is trying to avenge wat ihejirika did to Boko Haram let's think

Abagworo:
Nnamdi Kanu is now same level with Shekau. Anyway I declared him a terrorist long ago.

Kiss the crown

Abag baba...

Kiss the truth!

Iamzik:


Who declared them? Nigeria /Nigerian Army or the international community?

Who do they attack? Nigerians or citizens of other countries? Who should have been quick to declare them as terrorists? Nigeria or the international community?

Therein lies the double standard bro

It's funny how Ibos want to use that lame "who do they attack" tactic. Hate speeches meant to cause tribal and religious rift and to incite people to cause harm to others is also a form of terrorism.

Igbos that were looking for Hausas in buses and man-made checkpoints (who knows that else they do in their forest), were they looking to give them free gift cards?

As for who declared fulanis herdsmen terrorist groups, that's not for me to know. Who declared boko harams and isis a terrorist group? Who cares? They point it, they've been declared such.

Don't worry, UN and other international bodies that you troublemakers like to report to, will also follow suit and acknowledge the declaration.

Banter1:
Crisis almost broke out in minna yesterday between the hausas and igbos, but thank God it was averted. Some igbos are still in army barrack and some didnt open shop today. Only if Nnamdi Kanu knows what he is making his brother's and sister's going through

as in eh

..

PointB:


Yeah. They way Boko boys are dropping them?

Yeah except some fools prefer to spam Donald Trump, CNN, BBC and other foreign media's page with lies

Like North East, like East.

Many of the notable leaders of the East will be acting "on the fence" now just like the elders of the North East did in 2009 until it smacks them in the face!

The Nigerian Army is the only professional outfit designated by law to protect the territorial integrity of the nation against both external aggression and internal insurrestion. This army is good, this army is strong and this army has proven itself over and over again as good at its duties since Congo, Biafra, Chad, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Against unconventional forces, it has laid its weight heavily on the Maitatsine, Boko Haram, Ansr Din etc. Some may disregard the army for its widely advertised poor human rights records, but what fighting force on Earth has not been accused of human rights failures?

IPOB, don't mess whith the Nigerian army, you don't wana go down there!

Nonsense!!!

Nnamdi kanu u hv always clamoured 4 war. Now dt IPOB hv been labelled a terrorist grp.U must fight dt war o. weda u like it or not.

Finally. They have done the right thing.

Freedom fighters who spread hate and threaten annihilate other tribes are no longer freedom fighters. They are terrorists.

Kanu has always spoken about actualization by war. This is not yet a battle, but he is already crying foul.

intruxive:
Gbam!
Ojukwu gave his soldiers a rifle and two rounds (one for the enemy and one for themselves)
Kanu gave his highly trained BSS sticks, bottles and kitchen knifes to confront nigerian army. Am so glad this one wont last up to 3yrs (like biafra war)........ this one should last like say.......

3hours
#terrorists

three hours for where? Give my boys thirty minutes the whole of Biafra would be brought down

AgbariOjukwu1:
That means we have many terrorists here on nairaland

The number of ipob threads making it to front page should be reduced.. Nairaland can't be seen to be promoting terrorism.

Seun take note

I have been noticing this trend too

They prefer controversial and sometimes false news

They don't know the news people get from here propagate

No filter no confirmation.. Just print as seen

kjhova:

IPOB, don't mess whith the Nigerian army, you don't wana go down there!

please let them go,their body go tell dem

Smoothie01:


Hello!!! Do I know you??
Wahs with the "you this", "you that"
See...Go look for the cause of ur sorrows elsewhere
I ain't gat tym for this incoherent trash u put up dere. Wen you wanna make sense, I'll be in the know

keep quiet. that your brain isn't functional enough to read a post, it should be no surprise you can't comprehend. dance the dance and stop disturbing the public with ur crass illiteracy. cowards playing the victim card. the army have just started. dance well while we prepare the coffins. anu mpama

This is a welcome development. Ipob have committed act of terror which includes attacking police officers on legitimate duty, killing and burning of police patrol vehicle, station n houses, attacking military convoy on announced operation without provocation, attacking n beheading hausa people on transit, burning of mosques in port hacourt n aba, assaulting civilians who do not agree with their actions, formation of secret service within a sovereign state, instigation to violence by cownu, violation of bail conditions, running a parrellel government, soliciting for arms to carryout genocide against hausa and yoruba people, illegal broadcasting of hate speech. Does pf us that live in Maiduguri knows this is exactly how boko haram came to be. The army chose to be proactive this time around. I commend them for that. Make no mistake, force is d only language terrorists understand.

TimeManager:
I owe you a RIP bro.

Kiss the truth!

I die many times daily. You need more than an RIP for me. Can you afford more ?

attackgat:
How laughable. Labeling an organisation with no weapons as terrorist? The real terrorist are the Nigerian Army because only they can go to a peaceful place like Abia and cause absolute mayhem

Shut the fck up and stop lying. IPOB carry weapons which they use to intimidate other Igbos to support them, by joining their sit-at-home, boycotts and so on. They seem to have Turkish folks now selling them guns and other stuff now. They are terrorists.

Adminisher:
OKAY. IPOB fell into the trap.

A trap indeed. And see how well it played out.

Nemesis1:


Yeah except some fools prefer to spam Donald Trump, CNN, BBC and other foreign media's page with lies

Lies? You mean Liar Mohammed?

TheShopKeeper:
...signed by Major General John Eneche, a son of the soil...

...like play, like play IPOB has transformed from being a small group to being tagged as terrorist group...as such the years that Nnamdi Kanu will spend in prison will be very long indeed...

you coward.. JOHN ENENCHE is IDOMA from BENUE

Good

It has clearly played out that the North own Nigeria.

It was Arewa elders and youths who made the declaration long ago not the Nigerian Army. The Army only executed the plan.

It was clear, it was the essence of the Operation Python dance; to provoke the IPOB to take up arms and then label them terrorists.

The Arewa youths said it, that when President Buhari retunred IPOB would be declared a terrorist organisation and that Kanu would be jailed for life.

Let me wait and see the response of the leaders in the South East. Let me know if they are really alive and seeing this atrocity on their youths

You Nigerians are just as laughable as your failed country.

Igbos will keep marching on until they are free from the zoological Republic

Long overdue, terrorize them back.

iPOB would have passed as a good name for a High Tech gadget, but see how it ended, #Terrorist

Na season film

what about Boko Haram, what are they

they terrorists , mumu!

They're a "terrorist organization" with stones and sticks. This is what fear, hatred and bias causes. You guys are laughable.

The funny thing is that this declaration hold no water.

Clueless as they are, the SE politicians will be smart enough not to sign up. Signing up means signing up to Military occupation by a sectional army in the name of terrorist fighting.

Dead on arrival.

boostdom:


John Eneche is from Benue state. The implicit tribalism in your false assertion is ironic. Isn't the Nigerian Army a force drawn from all states? Does a declaration by a "son of the soil" in a professional force gives it more legitimacy than if he wasn't a "son of the soil"?

Your cognitive dissonance is comical.

Thesame Benue State Your Leader Nnamdi Kanu Insisted Was Part Of Biafra
