Angry reactions have started trailing the reported killing of members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Enugu.

All the respondents, who spoke to Vanguard in Owerri, were unanimous in their belief that the dead were first Ndigbo before being members of IPOB.
They also described the incident as “senseless and condemnable, especially as IPOB members are usually unarmed”.
Reacting, an Owerri based legal practitioner, Mr Aloy Ejimakor, said the wrong branding of the dead was deceptive and a diversionary tactic to simply write off the dead as IPOB members, instead of Ndigbo.
His words: “Forget IPOB. They are Ndigbo. It is completely deceptive and a diversionary tactic to simply write off the dead as IPOB members, instead of Ndigbo. Whoever takes the life of an IPOB member is taking the life of an Igbo and therefore will ultimately account to Ndigbo.”
According to the lawyer, “when I read about the senseless killing of unarmed innocents, who gathered in Enugu on August 23, 2020, in peaceable exercise of their constitutional rights, I quickly began to search the news to learn more and I learnt plenty, including particularly, the somewhat dismissive refrain that those killed are just IPOB members.”
While arguing that they might be IPOB members, Ejimakor, however, said: “Everybody in the former Eastern Nigeria, who disagrees with what has become Nigeria, is an IPOB member, overtly or covertly”.
“They don’t have to carry a registration card for you to be certain that they are IPOB members. All you need to do is to talk with them to convince yourself that they are IPOB members.
“An IPOB member is simply any Eastern Nigerian, especially the Igbo, who will rather have Biafra than a Nigeria that eats her children, especially her Igbo children. And they are in the millions.
“They are legion. Some are above ground. Some are in sleeper cells and they are not miscreants. They are the Igbo gentry, the elites, the masses, warts and all.
“The Igbo remains an Igbo for now and forever, alive or dead. Nobody can change that. No subliminal narrative of just IPOB can change that.”
Another IPOB loyalist, who simply identified himself as Chikerem, urged the security agencies to “stop branding people IPOB when they know that the killing and maiming unarmed Ndigbo”.
Chikerem also reasoned that those killed were Ndigbo before becoming IPOB members, adding that “it beats my imagination why the Nigerian government has disdain for Ndigbo, but relentlessly want to keep us in Nigeria”.
Answering a question, Chikerem said that there was no way anybody can detach IPOB members from Ndigbo, who are not terrorists but are treated and branded as such.
For Nkemdiri Osukaku, “Igbo life is precious, inalienable and the blood of an IPOB member is not less precious than that of any other Igbo man or woman”.
He appealed to the security agencies to face the dreaded Boko Haram, ISWAP and other deadly insurgents that are terrorizing the citizenry, instead of running after unarmed agitators of a free Biafra.

Nigeria has too many issues to settle

Reactions does not equal to actions. When it's time for action, only few Nigerians appear, others willingly submit to be paid peanuts by some govt officials to pose as counter protesters in support of govt., they even hold press conferences and support the oppressive govt just cos of little change. The few legitimate protesters are malhandled by security agents. On twitter and beer parlours other sets of Nigerians are warriors in condemning issues, but once a new/trending news emanates, they forget about the former and are all distracted. This is the cycle in Nigeria, that's why reactions will continue and nothing will change.

No reaction would be so greater than people trooping out to protest and slam it to our oppressors faces with actions
Enough of the social media reactions abeg

Nigerians will not forgive ICC if they failed to arrest this man after the expiration of his tenure in 2023 to answer for his crime against humanity.

IPOB terrorists killed two DSS officers. Why?

I don't want to blow my horn but "pa pa parara paaaaa paaaa paaaa paaaaaaaaaaaaa".
I said this first, now watch out, the next phase is inevitable. They are now gaining sympathy

I think enough is enough these killings should stop,Nigeria government should call her security agents to order. IPOB is not the problem of this country and will never be for that matter, they should allow the boys to excised their God given rights. After all it's clear to the blind and audible to the deaf that this country can never work.

We condemn all terrorists attack on security agents either herdsmen, bandits and Boko haram or IPOB. They are all the same.

overzealous security men would give any reason to kill innocent people. Nigerians must wise up. those celebrating the killings should know this can happen to innocent people in their community

Overzealous security personnel and this is the main reason people seem to be happy when terrorists are raping them without blinking

stop lying to yourself ! We all know Ipo is a secessional group , that's what they're recognized globally, not as terrorist organization as you and your govt claimed . Check glabal terrorist index if ipob is there. Boko Haram , Fulani's herdsmen are there!

killing of unarmed people is bad and should be condemned by all. it is IPOB today it can be you tomorrow

I'm also condeming the way those guys were killed!!

This is one of the things dragging us backward.

Injustice any where is a threat to justice any where.....its ipob today tomorrow it might be you........I'm not an ipob member but I'm an Igbo and as a matter of fact a biafran...the niggerea military should stop the senseless killing of armless ipob members..... You paid a deaf ear and a blind eyes to the atrocities of the herds men,you rehabilitated and released dreaded boko haram boys into the society, you empowered them even after they have killed thousands, but you will not hesitate to open fire on innocent ipob holding their meeting peacefully....... Enough is enough!!!!!!this is an attack on ndi Igbo not ipob.

each country is a sovereign state and can determine which group is terrorists and threaten to it's existence. In this case its IPOB.

Much as I no longer have Buhari's back like I used to, let me ask you: when would Obasanjo be arrested for Odi and Zaki Biam? When would Jonathan be arrested for Ezu River massacre in Anambra?

If you people think the ICC would even sneeze in Nigeria's direction, you're probably the most delusional people alive. They've not even spoken about Rohingya or Gaza or Libya or Iraq or Afghanistan. Bush and Blair are still walking freely to this day, yet you people think they'd give a Bleep about Buhari or Nigeria.

Some of you are just too ignorant of what's happening in the world you live in.

I was expecting you to attack God with bad words as you usually do. Remember, God is taking record of every word you are speaking in support of evil. You are not bigger than Nebucadinezzur.

how many police dss Navy airfore army has bokoharam terrorist killed?

Today is ipob Tommorrow it might be another gp . Some useless people rejoice because igbos are being killed . Ipop is igbo igbo is ipob . Fed govt should stop killing igbos . Nigeria is not working and agitation is natural. When somebody is not happy over sth it is natural to agitate . Marriage should not be by force .

how can normal people start killing people who are harmless and having prayers and meeting ? They were not even destroying things like what is happening in Usa black life matters who destroy property and yet they were not shot at .....Nigeria is an evil country.

Fulanis are killing as civilians and their soldiers are killing too
