IPOB? MASSOB? BIM? And y'all want to secede... Secede into how many parts? Into how many factions?... Little wonder every head in Aso Rock since 1999 has always laughed in scorn at these disjointed and disunited attempts at self-actualization.

What generation of Igbos will actually humble themselves, look inwards, and learn what it means to be truly united and speak with one voice? Such a PITY!!!

Igbos please don't mind the silly mole Uwazuruike.

PLEASE DEFEND YOURSELVES VIGOROUSLY!!!

Let any attacker of Ndigbo feel some of our violent side and endue the deaths that come from attacking us.


His point is that you need to arm yourself, not just defend yourself with word of mouth

The problem of Nigeria is increasing by the day, and those problems are not just political problems but ethnic and religious issues. Ffk has now become an igbo man because he married from Abia and Nnamdi Kanu is his in-law. Everyone wants to be associated with igbo people. Telling igbos to defend themselves wherever they are, at the end of the day who loses. Igbos are entirely everywhere and they will be the one to lose.

The families of the few privileged rich in this country will not be on this soil when it happens. Who suffers it? The poor. Let's please try to make peace in this country.

Calculating:


The call by Ohanaeze Ndigbo to citizens of South-East region to defend themselves has been described as cowardice.

This is coming from Ralph Uwazuruike, leader of Biafra Independence Movement (BIM).

Ohanaeze, the socio-cultural group representing the people of the Igbo predominantly area had urged those from the geo-political zone living outside the region to defend themselves from any form of attack.



The call followed the 30-day ultimatum by Northern youth groups to unleash mayhem on those whose state governors rejected the implementation of Rural Grazing Areas (RUGA) for herdsmen of the Fulani extraction in their domain.

Kicking against the call for defense, Uwazuruike described Ohanaeze and state governors from the region as the problem of the people.

In a video seen by TODAY POLITICS, the secessionist leader, whose group seeks the dissolution of Nigeria, said the people need to be armed before an order for defense is made.

He spoke in Igbo language while relaxing in a conducive environment, urging his kinsmen not to heed the call for self defense.

“Defend yourselves is an act of cowardice,” he interjectly said in English, adding that, “I mean…I don’t know how to describe it…as in what?”

Uwazuruike who described the youth groups that issued the threat as kids said consultations with stakeholders must be made before the call of such magnitude from Ohanaeze is made.

The founder of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) urged Ohanaeze to learn from other ethnic groups and stop disgracing and installing fears in the minds of the Igbos residing in other parts of the country.

President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the implementation of the initiative as the permanent solution to farmers and herders clashes.

Mr Buhari later suspended the project said to be optional, due to its rejection in the South despite interested states welcoming it in the North. This further fuelled speculations that the government is on a land grabbing mission for herdsmen from the Fulani extraction.

The dude is spot on with his assertion in the above post. It is an act of cowardice and silly loudmouth to call for civil defense when the populace is not armed. I have said that Ndigbo must follow the template of Fulani by arming its youth . The dumb bells are must concerned of meals instead of the wellbeing of the entire people.

MYHUBBY:
if I get his point he meant how can you tell Igbo to defend themselves with bare hands against those that had been empowered with arms and ammunition by the federal govt

So does that make the call an act of cowardice....or the word cowardice now has another meaning

you mean cowardice that NA are loosing their men to bokoharam because they don't have substantial arms and ammunition to fight bokoharam

go and find out why the NA can't defeat in a decade to come. they can't because their operation is mere defensive instead of offensive which was the result of lack of war tools. so is that cowardice?
