While we can't pretend tat all is well with Nigeria or even Igboland in particular, i think the attack on former deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is an act of cowardice.

While i don't condone violence of any kind, somethings i tend to want to look the other way when people i abhor due to their actions become victims of jungle justice. But even if i did, Ekweremadu does not fit the bill in any way. While he's a nationalist, very few Igbo people have defended Igbos and in particular, IPOB members like Ekweremadu has done. It's exactly the same thing that played out when they attacked the person of Nnia Nwodo who could even be mistaken for a member of IPOB due to his utterances in the beehive of their activities. The enemies of Igboland that i see are the likes of Orji Uzor Kalu, Rochas Okorocha, Ken Nnamani, Joe Igbokwe, Chris Ngige and the rest of them which have sold their people for a plate of tuwo. Ekweremadu definitely doesn't fit the bill. IPOB have once again scored an own goal.

Secondly, the actions of IPOB members outside the country will make the international community justify their proscription as a terrorist group.

If Nnamdi kanu does not condemn this act, it will prove what i've been saying all along that this group is made of of half baked onitsha and Aba traders and their likes.

Their action is in bad taste.
