The ethnic group aborigin in south east Nigeria are supposedly peaceful people. Peaceful people, by laws (or principles) of cause and effect, are entitled to enjoy peaceful life.

This supposition may have being threatened by realities on ground. Over time, (excluding the Biafra incidence of 1967-69) The Igbo people have been known to concentrate on buying and selling across Nigeria and beyond. They are not prone to trouble making. And they have always ignored trouble when it knocks their doors.

They do this by minding their own business, and not interfering in other people's affairs.

Things are now changing, because Ndigbo has a lot to worry about, especially the actions of the home based Igbo youths which endangers the Igbos abroad.

There must be a deliberate effort put in place to secure the safety of Ndigbo home and abroad, one of such efforts must be directed in curbing of youth excesses.

Nairalanders, let's all contribute our 2kobo each to this discuss.

Thank you.

If the activities of IPOB or Nnamdi Kanu is endangering Igbos in other part of Nigeria, then it means Igbos are in the wrong country. Whst it means is that Igbos should have their own independent country

Do you think that the activities of IPOB is endangering Igbos in Cotonue?

Except calling for violence, and hate speeches against non-Igbos, every other things Kanu did may be safely subsumed under "freedom of thought and of speech".

Don't you think so?

KANU in summary stands for hate towards ethnicities,muzzle of other Igbo personalities who do not believe in biafra, seccession ,illegality and increase in ignorance among youths and has nothing related to freedom of speech

Ipob boys are stubborn, shortsighted and annoying people . Several times i argued with them but they will not listen to you..

They embrace every word from Nnamdi Kanu like mumu and you will just be wondering whether they have Independent reasoning at all. Calling themselves Independent people whereas their reasoning is so dependent on Kanu's reasoning does not do them any good.

As for we igbos and our survival, don't worry yourself we will always survive. Its in our blood to survive no matter the situation.

I cant confirm whether you are igbo but if you are, then i repeat that you are not OK.

Do you know why igbos are being ridiuled by everyone, its because of people like you who continuously denigrate your own tribe and for other foolish igbos who do not condemn you but continue to run themselves down. if you are igbo, then weep for yourself.

You opened a thread to Ask people whether being an igbo is a burden. Do you really know what you asked? Or are you an illiterate. Spits.

Is Kanu and IPOB acting belligerently towards the people of Coutonou as to merit their fury?

Has Kanu Threatened to behead the President of Benin Republic?

Has he called the Coutonou people slaves, cowards and zoo people, and the country a zoo where nothing deserves to remain alive? Or has he lied that their president is a paedophile who was raping his wife before he married her at a false age of 13yrs?

Has he commanded that if a valid court in Benin Republic orders his lawful arrest for breaching bail conditions that are expressly obvious to even the blind, that his supporters who are under oath should ensure to burn the country down?

Stop making useless analogies. I have been advising IPOB apologists on this simple common sense.

I don't know why people like you just love to stick your head in the sand, rather than admit that IPOB and it's leader Kanu were undeserving of the priviledges of a sane and civilised society.

If Kanu had been beligerent towards the people of Coutonou, the wouldnt care. They are not in one country with Igbos or Kanu, so there us nothing to fight about.

In that same regard, if Igbos were not in the same country with Nigeria, Nigerians would have dismissed Kanu as a crazy person and ignored him.

If the SouthEast is so motivated, why not move a motion to have a constitutional backing for secession?

If Kanu is so motivated, why not pressure the SE governors and federal legislators from the South East to move such motion. If they are unwilling to pursue a mandate that is popular with the SE electorate, why not vote them out and elect those who will agree to such?

Is it so hard to understand that no usurpation of the democratic and constitutional representation of a people will be allowed by Nigeria or by UN?

Why is Kanu wasting his time thinking he can achieve his goal by an illegal means?

Follow the right path and stop hoping that someone would show empathy and allow you through from the window rather than the front door.

You have people who opposed certain ideas in America, including the fact that a Black man should be president. They formed a conservative and racist pressure group (Tea Party) and aligned with the Republican Party to elect governors and legislators who made prior pledges to follow the master plan of the pressure group.

It took 8 years but they finally got their own kind of racist in the white house.

There is nothing wrong with the democratic and constitutional approach that they employed.

That is how America works.

The liberals too always strategize to elect people who have already pledged to a certain ideology and stick to such when they get to office.

Until IPOB follows the right path to the change they desire, they will forever be pretenders to political authority.

Moving a motion in the Nigerian National Assembly for secession is a complete waste of time. Its like asking a bird to try flying to the moon, the bird can try, but everybody knows it will never get there.

Even if Kanu and IPOB formed some sort of political party and won every elective seat in the areas they want to separate from Nigeria, they will still have to go to a Nigerian National Assembly where other zones will be waiting for them. IPOB have no chance in hell of getting a 2 third majority to push their agenda. Fair to say that that the entire North and the West will not vote for the disintegration of Nigeria, ever.

It would have been a different thing if the 6 geopolitical zones were autonomous and had the right to individually vote on seceding from Nigeria within their region without recourse to the National Assembly.

Do the only option of IPOB is to agitate until the Nigerian political establishment and government decide that the only practical thing is to do is grant them referendum

Attackgat, my friend and brother, did you read my post on "the excesses of ipob's Nnamdi kanu"?

You can read it now. Kanu digressed. You should not tell me the hatred which he adopted lately was the original plan.

Come on, Igbos which I am one of are the greatest strategists and can achieve anything with persistence and focus if well planned. You admit its a hard thing to achieve Biafra following the legally acceptable procedure. Do you think following the back door through hatred can achieve it

Pls give me a better argument

Please dear, if you are Igbo indeed, do you think Kanu and co. Were as smart as should be best igbo-brain if Biafra is to be achieved?

Common, what Kanu wished to achieve is semi-impossible and requires like a 30-40yrs plan which can only be achieved bit by bit with consistency.

Have you as a wise Igbo person evaluated what IPOB did?
I'll tell you. They started by creating awareness and, they forgot to put the interest of all Igbos at heart so as to carry everyone along.

All of a sudden, they were calling for all Igbos in the other part of Nigeria to return home, and when they did not see compliance, they labelled Ndigbo abroad as pigs. You endorsed all that didn't you?

Look, it will take a thorough plan that will lead to winning the minds of Ndigbo home and abroad such that members of the movement will win electoral posts both states and feds. Such people will administer better representations/governances such that Ndigbo will be made to see what it will be like if the dream country is achieved.

The plan will also include that of resettlement of abroad Ndigbo returning home, not just a 3yrs agitation which if it hit the wall, the agitators will become aggressive and frustrated to keep using abuses on any person with contrary view.

Being Igbo did not start with Kanu neither will it end with him. So also is Biafra. Biafra is who we are and not IPOB. I want you to understand that the federal government through PMB is carrying out a northern agenda in the southeast, a thought out plan. This does not mean i support IPOB neither do i totally condemn them. I have many things to say and some insight about the so called python dance.
