IPOB hits Ezeemo again; desecrates Biafran veteran’s burial

By O’star Eze

Elders of Ihiala community in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State are still in shock over the actions of a band of youths suspected to be members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, numbering in their hundreds, who recently stormed the burial ceremony venue of Ihiala-born Late Pa Francis Oguanobi, disrupted the ceremony, sending Godwin Ezeemo, whose father-in-law the late 90 year old was, alongside his family and entourage, scampering for safety.

This brought the event to an abrupt end and the fleeing ones had to leave behind some personal belongings as they escaped the rowdy crowd, their vehicles being dangerously hit with hard objects as they made away.
IPOB Hits Ezeemo Again
Naaija reports that despite that Late Pa Francis Oguanobi was one of the prominent Biafrans that sourced for relief materials for Biafrans during the Nigerian Civil War, the uncouth young men and women defied every sense of respect for the dead, albeit a dead Biafran Hero, and swarmed upon the venue of the one day burial ceremony, snatched the microphone from the musician entertaining the large crowd of Ezeemo’s friends, family and well-wishers slapping the MC to submission when he attempted resistance.

The group were chanting “No election in Anambra State,” as they flooded the arena with their paraphernalia and yelling at Ezeemo’s family, friends and well wishers to go home.

IPOB Hits Ezeemo Again
Mrs Nneka Ezeemo, the last daughter of the deceased and wife of Godwin Ezeemo, bitterly narrated to Naaija.com how she had a similar experience in a community in Ogbaru Local Government in the hands of a similar group who claim they are IPOB members when she went with her husband and daughter to worship with a pentecostal church.

“Is my husband (Godwin Chukwunaenye Ezeemo) now a target for these people that he can no longer hold decent public events without being interrupted rudely by these ones?” She asked rhetorically.

Mr Godwin Ezeemo, on his part, appreciated God for saving him and his family from sustaining any physical injury while decrying the state of the system in Anambra State, the Southeast and Nigeria at large that the youths are so disenchanted and are advocating for utter civil disobedience.

“I wish these youths will understand that the primary need of Igbo land is to enthrone good leadership.

“I wish they will understand that I am here to make things right for them and restore their belief in themselves and in the system.

“I am deeply pained at the rate our youths are being abused as they seek for greener pastures.

“Many of them die in the middle of the desert as they make their way to other societies where they stand better chance of surviving and where their efforts are better appreciated,” he said.

An Ihiala elder told Naaija.com via phone interview that Ihiala Elders consider the group’s act as antitethical to the Igbo core values saying that their act was tantamount to desecration of the dead with dire consequences attached to it.

However, a source from the IPOB said that the group thought that Ezeemo was conducting a politicial rally and given they were against holding political campaigns in the Southeast and are opposed to holding any elections in the Southeast, they had to invade and force the event to a stop.

Dat one na their wahala.

It wont come by violence nor by total peaceful demonstration. Kanu better warn all those taut that will spoil his name

I think its time for nnamdi KANU to go back to jail...and the Nigeria military chief should declare shoot at site on those lazy,jobless brainwashed idiots called ipob.
they can not be allowed to continue tormenting the life's of innocent hard working Igbo's...because one drug addict called KANU has brainwash them...

When Miscreants lead

So wrong.

Ok

Those counterfeited Igbo persons who have absolutely nothing good to say about any process to actualize Republic of Igbo land or Biafra should endeavor to shut their putrid mouths.

If this news is real, then Nnamdi kanu needs to watch it. He could be creating enemies from within. He and IPOB caucus members need to tender an unreserved apology to the families concerned.

This was exactly how Boko Haram was birthed, like play like play it became what it is today.
Ndigbo and Ndi Anambra should treat this menace of IPOB miscreants before it snowballs into something we can't handle.

E no concern me.

The burial of a Biafran veteran was disrupted and this is all you can say. Pathetic. I'm sure he would be regretting why he didn't sabotage the effort in the 60s

My state...

Oh Anambra, how i hunger 4 ur touch becos i already have ur love. missing home!

I have said it before, the best place in Igbo land to start election boycott is Anambra.


They will do it with ease. There will be no election in Anambra and u can take dat to the bank.

can u imagine this nonsense.

So this is waht KAnu is encouraging his foot soldiers to do, abi

You see what I am saying
Now they have pissed off the ihiala folks
Even if it was an election rally, is it their business?
I fully endorse the government disrupting this whole ipob thing and sending that big fool back to jail
It will be a shame on the government to allow them to fester by holding any rallies
Dont they have able young men in that village?

Is like NDLEA are not doing there work effectively, I can see weed and drugs taking is getting higher in this region.

They are busy disrupting the activities of the weak
Obiano held a big political rally masking as an agricultural meet recently, and they were no where in sight
Them for come na... if no be bullets go follow them

Fake news

Well, I was there maybe this happened later I left. I don't like what is happening though it is a sign of failure in the leadership of southeasterns. Peter Obi, Oseloka obaze and Ezeemo Godwin were at the event. Ezeemo is the onlyam that is capable of making things right in Anambra state. But you know everything has been polarized.
If only they know how much Ezeemo is willing to sacrifice to ensure the life and properties of our people are secured.

Shut up.... That useless governor is the reason behind all these agitation. He killed their members, and they are determined to ruined this election for him. Remember they are the same youths used by politicians to rig election in the past. They will not be available again....

One glaring fact is that the only way the election boycott can be achieved is through intimidation of willing voters through violent disruptions.

Not sure I understand the rationale behind disrupting a burial though...

Mbanu... we need to let him torment the east a little longer at least till 2019.

When he started these very people the Igwe's from Onitsha to Ebonyi were overjoyed in their hearts .. they told themselves .."finally we are going to deal with this ewu awusa".

The slept and woke up.. found out the awusa and yoruba were the least of their problems. It got worse after the Kaduna declaration, then report on state IGR (Anambra zero IGR, vampire state ) . .. then the lower house kicked the South East development bill, then no election in Anambra... the Germany, France, US, Isreal echoed "one Nigeria".

No .. we have to let this man sit with them, take the food from their mouths , starve them and dethrone them indirectly... till it is unequivocally clear that the grass is not greener on the Biafran side.

It is well. Will be waiting.

Why did you dodge the other part of the comment? Are you scared of the backlash that might generate? Thought you had a thick skin.

Is this what they will go and be doing in the so-called Biafra republic?

myright:
check the last thread I created and see how they dealt with obiano

Dude phuck off and go mind your tout propaganda threads
Effing disgrace to igbo-hood
Time will tell, just wait for it... this is exactly how massob started and were disgraced in onitsha
