Fake News Alert! These Images Are NOT From IPOB, Army Crisis by 36govs: 6:53pm On Sep 15, 2017
Two images flying across social media that are fake and deliberately shared to manipulate people’s minds regarding IPOB and the military action in Aba have been identified.

Yes, we know there is trouble in the southeastern part of Nigeria.

We know soldiers are on the streets of Aba and have been at loggerheads with members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

We also know Nnamdi Kanu has not backed down on his showdown with the Nigerian government, and the once peaceful streets of Aba, Onitsha, Enugu, Umuaiha and others are no longer at ease.

But what we also know at Vivian Gist is that many of the images flying across social media are fake and deliberately shared to manipulate people’s minds.

We have since realized that some Nigerians are only out to milk this situation to further cause chaos.

What is more worrisome is how many Nigerians are so gullible that they draw their daggers at each other before asking if what they saw on social media is authentic.

Here are some of the fake images we have seen this week of the Nigerian Army’s Operation Python and they have nothing to do with the Army-IPOB faceoff.

1. Biafra Rocket Missile

This was just released by a blog and it is so fake! There is nothing like that.

This was the creative burial ceremony of a staunch member of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) sometime in July 2017.



His kinsmen simply decided to build his coffin in the shape of a rocket and painted it in Biafra colours.



Here are more pictures from the burial ceremony.

2. Burning of Hausa men

There is also this video being circulated on WhatsApp purportedly of IPOB members burning two Hausa men.

It is FALSE.

Renowned journalist, Kayode Ogundamisi who takes factchecking seriously tweeted about the video saying:

“Video does not have anything to do with the current crisis, it is a video of a mob lynching of alleged robbers. Close study of the video has multiple persons describing the activities of Armed Robbers, no reference to IPOB.”



Furthermore, no security agency has confirmed such an incident ever happened.

“When you receive any information, video, photos regarding current crisis, always fact check before sharing,” he added.

UNPRECEDENTED SOLIDARITY MARCH FOR NDIGBO IN KANO

While their brethren are being slaughtered by the barbaric brain dead IPOB terrorists in the South East, the Almajiris/Mallams/Abokis/Hausas/Fulanis and other Northern tribes living in Kano decided to hold a solidarity rally, espousing for peaceful co-existence with their Ndigbo brothers and sisters.

In these pictures, the Northern youth are seen wearing Igbo attires, carrying banners and singing Igbo songs. This has never happened before in Kano! In past years, Kano and other parts of Northern Nigeria would have erupted in retaliatory attacks.

It is evidently clear that we as a nation have made progress. Suddenly, the "primitive" Almajiris/Mallams/Abokis/Hausas/Fulanis and other Northerners, who allegedly have no degrees and can't speak English, are now teaching the rest of "educated" Nigerians on citizenship, humility, humanity and peaceful coexistence. God willing, Nigeria will never be the same again. Peace is here to stay!

The terror mastermind and coward, Nnamdi Kanu, and his dangerous followers, are thus comprehensively defeated!

Many thanks to all the patriotic Nigerians at home and around the world whose incisive speeches and pleads made this historic event possible.

May God save Nigeria and Nigerians. Amen.
