Biafra, Northern Youths Will Run Away If They See War – Retired DIG by StateNews: 9:42am On Jun 23, 2017
Retired Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Udom Ekpoudom, has warned Biafra agitators and Northern youths issuing threats and provocative speeches against Nigeria to take caution.

He said while it was easy to speak of violence, such persons will run away if they witnessed bloodletting on a large scale.

Ekpoudom appealed to agitators for Biafra to continue to draw attention of the Federal Government to issues of neglect and marginalization, instead of issuing threats to split the country.

He faulted the sit-at-home order issued by Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), saying the order also contravened the law.

Ekpoudom said IPOB had no constitutional authority to order a section of the country to sit at home without the consent of the Federal Government, adding that “It amounts to running a parallel government.”

On the ultimatum by Arewa youths, Ekpoudom urged the Nigerian Police and the Department of State Services (DSS) to exercise their constitutional mandate of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerians and ensure that those who issued the quit order were arrested.

The former top cop noted that the order was not directed at the Igbo alone but the entire South East, South South and South West residents in the north.

”It is an indirect call for division of the country which our founding fathers and nationalists suffered and died to protect”, he told Vanguard.

Those beating the drums of war have never experienced the pains of war. Most of those making inciting and hate speeches were too young or were not born when we had the Nigerian/Biafra war.

“It’s unfortunate that those people clamoring for war are being sponsored by people who don’t have value for this country or are having dual citizenship”, he added.

Ekpoudom, however, insisted that Nigeria needed to be restructured based on the principles of federalism to allow ethnic nationalities manage their own resources.

“This constitution came into effect on the first of January 1914. Subsequent inputs are only amendments here and there.

“We are still under colonial administration when we consider the ingredients of the existing constitution. There is need to restructure the country.”

I laugh when people always comment and emphasize more on war as if they don't know the best approach for disintegration.

This has become their new slogan/motto. "war" "war" "war" just to scare and discourage the agitators. NDI ARA !!. Even the agitators themselves are not being moved by the war song those benefiting from one Nig are singing.All they want is Biafra which ever means it would come.

Mind you.. no country on earth has survived second civil war to be united. Anything war again is immediate disintegration ,whether the war is won by Biafrans or Nigeria. The winners or losers won't be considered this time around. ie: Biafra will come with or without war. Its still a win win game for umuchineke.
Our leaders know this, but they keep using war to scare people away.

Ogundipe never saw war and ran, Awolowo did not see war and yet took poison , Obasanjo only heard gun shots in feb 13 1976 and ran to Takwa Bay, Abiola could not even dare but allowed himself to be kidnapped and poison , Ojukwu saw , fought and and was overwhelmed by the British , Soviets , Arabs , Egypt , Sudan etc.

Going about believing and fooling your self that Ojukwu ran because of the Federal Army and not the backers of the federal Army will be a bigger mistake and miscalculation than Abiola made when he declared himself president beliving Yourbas would back him to retrieve the mandate

fallacy, all those rubbish you wrote there can only be found in Igbo history, if that's what your father told you,who am I to question you?

Lol the same obj who lead the civil war that made your hero Ojuwku ran to ivory coast. r emember he didn't get Igbo votes when he contested for president of the same country he fought against, my question is this,why did he start what he can't end? Ojukwu is nothing but a coward.

He was wrong.

Who among the so called "founding fathers" were nationalists?

It was those military generals that forced one nigeria on the country that were themselves destroyed the country because of their greed.

Complete arrant nonsense. It amazes me when people who have held high office make statements like these that exposes them as one who has the intellectual capacity of a 5 year old.

People willingly heeded the IPOB call to stay at home, now it is illegal? Where it would have been illegal is if IPOB had prevented people from going out. This man should go and rest.


Only Nigerians talk about war. It is one of their scare tactics to intimidate the people out of their right to self determination.
