With these groups all over the place, are they in the same category? Should they all be outlawed? Is there any of them needed?

MASSOB has no history of violence against the people or security agents. They dont kidnap for ransom nor engage in economic sabotage. Above all, they don't engage Army in shoot-outs, nor carry out suicide bombing!

If you are an unbiased observer, the difference is CLEAR! cool cool

I don't know why people keep listing this groups in the same sentence.

Bokoharam and MEND are terrorist groups except that MEND has more face in the public eye because they're also seen as freedon fighter.

Massob on the other hand is a non-violent self agitating group. They've never caused harm anywhere in the country.

OPC should not even be mentioned because they're a security outfit just like Bakassi boys.

MEND = ijaw terrorist group
massob = okoro secessionist/rebel
opc = peaceful yoruba group.

They are all Interest groups.
They are from different regions of Nigeria.
They are all displeased with how Nigeria is being administered by the present Govt. and their predecessors.
They are all lookin for a change.
They all have some weapons to carry out their mandate.
Except that OPC is more of security-based.
To me, they are alomst the same.

Yes, we need all of them to force a change from the status quo.
When Govt. fails, people will be forced to take their destiny in their own hands.
