Ngozi123:


You can't compare a group of protesters to a Federal Government.

Aigbofa:


The FG have not done anything remotely anti Trump. Ipob does not speak for the American people.

Ngozi123:


I didn't say that they have; I said that it appears so, going by this article's narrative. Ipob protesters celebrate Trump's victory and Nigerian security services injure/kill these protesters therefore the Nigerian security services are targeting them for celebrating Trump's victory. We both know that that's not the case but this is what it'll look like to many who aren't familiar with the recent events in Nigeria.

Aigbofa:


That is a little bit of a stretch, ipob was not created as a Trump support group, and this was not the first time they will have a confrontation with the security services.

Ngozi123:


It's a stretch but that's how it's being portrayed in the media: pro-Trump group shot at by Nigerian police or something to that effect. Those who don't really care about what's going on in Nigeria will take it at face value and think that the Nigerian government is against Trump. Those who're interested by what's going on in Nigeria will read more about IPOB and end up learning about the Biafran movement and the previous atrocities committed against them by the Nigerian army/police force. The Nigerian government doesn't look good in either case. It's something that could have and should have been avoided.

Aigbofa:


We have seen it all before. Ojukwu used pictures of starving and dying children as props to wage his propaganda war against Nigeria. In my humble opinion if things like this actually work you would have achieved Biafra a long time before now.

Ngozi123:


You're comparing the 1960s to now. People back then didn't have as many resources as they do now to find out what's going on in the world. They don't need to rely on propaganda from anyone as they have the tools to find out information for themselves. Besides, no one is talking about war here. All we need is to raise awareness about what is going on. That is the first step.

Aigbofa:


Not true, the Biafran war was probably the first war the world would see in real time on their TVs. Ojukwu's propaganda was very effective but it didn't win the war or result in Biafra. Why then is ipob following the same failed tactics used by Ojukwu?

The 60s is different.The geo-political realities are different.
Balkanization of nation states was rarely supported by the world powers. Now since then ,the US has disintegrated over 5 nation states in the midst of their hollow soverignty.
Don't deceive yourself at all. And yes, agitation actually works now. That is what the civilized world uses. And is a sharp departure from ojukwu's civil war approach.

Aigbofa:


Nothing is impossible but just like in the 60s ibos will not be able to break away from Nigeria unilaterally. It will take more than the current Mickey mouse Nnamdi Kanu led nonsense.

Anyihumble:


people like you who celebrates when innocent people are killed, who calls white black and who stands for injustice and wickedness, deserves to be locked up in a cage like animals cause you reason exactly like them. Even some animals reason better than you. Your points shows how wicked and animalistic you are. It is you and all your like minded people that deserves to be mowed down like the animals you wished for ipob. What ipob did today was not different from what happened across the globe yet nobody was killed. Even in the inauguration arena there were protesters yet the security peacefully manged the situation. all the evil you wished for biafrans will be your portion in Jesus Name. Amen
