Ipob Is A Cult Group, Not Terrorist Group by DeltaFire: 7:41am On Sep 09, 2020
IPOB IS A CULT GROUP, NOT TERRORIST GROUP

Out of malice for southerners, especially Igbos, the Buhari regime controversially labelled IPOB a terrorist organization, in 2017.
What is certain and without controversy is that IPOB is a cult (aka sect). Although its leader Mr Nnamdi Kanu claims to be pushing for the realisation of Biafra, his methods have no UN grounding so Biafra cannot be achieved through IPOB.
A Cult is a social group that is defined by its unusual religious, or philosophical beliefs, or by its common interest in a particular person, or goal.
A cult is also where there is great devotion to a person or idea, or persons united by devotion or allegiance to a movement or leader.

THREE MAIN SIGNS OF A CULT
1. A captivating leader, who is increasingly worshiped. That is, a leader who has no accountability, and becomes the single most defining element of the cult and is its source of power and authority.
2. A process of indoctrination to believe whatever the leader says. A kind of thought reform also called "brainwashing".
At its height, members of the cult often do things that are not in their own best interest, but that are always in the best interest of the group and its leader. They can even die for their leader.
3. Financial, sexual, and other exploitation of cult members by the leader and the ruling set.
NOTE: Most cults have a leader (often with big titles) who uses religion to trap or scare the members. He can even claim to hear from God or to be a prophet. Fear keeps many afraid to leave a cult.

HOW TO GET YOUR LOVED ONE OUT OF THE IPOB CULT
The worst thing to do is to keep on shouting at your spouse, child or loved one who has joined IPOB. Rather, keep on asking them questions about what Kanu is doing and saying, especially what plans exactly does he have to realize Biafra. This will force your loved one to think more critically about what Kanu/IPOB are really about. Watching videos or reading about ex-IPOB members together will also help your loved one’s critical thinking ability.
Google: “How to come out of a cult” for more information on how to help someone you love who is trapped in IPOB. Remember, many have left IPOB and are doing better for it.

This is not being mean to IPOB members, or criticising them. It is showing love to someone caught up in a cult that has a self-imposed “Supreme Leader” Emperor type, who just does not have the capacity to bring them the Biafra they hope for.

So please have the courage to forward this message on to Igbo people.



I AM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT FREEDOM & SELF-DETERMINATION BUT NNAMDI KANU IS A CON MAN. SO SHINE YOUR EYES!

Theres just one problem. Wether IPOB is a cult group devoted to Nnamdi Kanu or not, the truth is that without them, the Biafran agitation would not have reached the global level it has. Basically, without Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, there woukd have been little or no Biafran agitation.

Do you know that because of IPOB, major Radio stations across Africa, from South Africa to Kenya to Ghana now have Biafran segments where only Biafra is discussed?


So if you take out Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB at this critical time, what will you have? It will be back to the days of Uwazurike, MASSOB, BZF and others that you will hear of maybe once in 6 months.

My brother, I support Biafra and Self-determination. But Kanu is DECEIVING Igbos! That is what is bad. He could have led IPOB in truth and humility and join the real Self-determination groups. But to defraud Igbo people? That, I can never support. IPOB is a new comer on Biafra scene. Igbo need him for nothing. It is Kanu's methods that bring Operation Python Dance and death upon Igbo. People PERISH for lack of knowledge! Go to Ijele speaks on Facebook or Youtube for more information. I also just put another post with short video. Check it out.

Lol. Only a fool thinks about taking out IPOB when all sensible Igbos can see the danger ahead. Terrorist islamists are heading down south wiping off Christian communities in the north and middle belt. Terrorist fulani elites are using the chaos to grab lands and extend their influence over the Nigerian landscape while other ethnic groups are just sleeping thinking all is well. The dealings the fulani government clearly show to Boko Haram and the fulani militias do not register anything in their minds only IPOB who hasn't attacked anyone nor sought anyone's land. Our only crime is saying we want to be left alone to control our land where we can determine our destinies. It's hate for the Igbo man that makes anyone see IPOB as a threat. Why not tell us with solid points why we should forget about Biafra and support Nigeria. Market Nigeria with verifiable points to us. Failure to do that will see us do everything to achieve our aim. Nigeria has failed to protect her citizens where even refugees in their own countries are bombed by their own airforce. Citizens in interior villages are killed in their hundreds across various geopolitical regions yet no one is held accountable and it continues to happen year after year. Is that a country we should bequeath to our children? If that's Ok with you, it certainly not fine with us hence our goal. Our course is a justified one.
Ojukwu started it to protect us. Uwazuruike revived it to give us hope. After a lot of pressure, he lost focus and another took it up from there. Nnamdi Kanu today is our leader and shall remain so unless he losses focus. We don't see him as a leader because of his rhetorics or whatever but because he stands exactly for what we have in mind which is A COUNTRY THAT WE CAN FEEL SAFE INSIDE HER AND ASPIRE TO THE GREATEST LEVEL WE WISH. This is what we believe can be achieved under Biafra. So you see that even without Kanu the struggle will still continue. We willingly commit our time, money and lives for that struggle. Failure is NEVER an option.
The only thing that a stop Biafran agitation is if a democratic country like USA or Canada can give us the option of being one of her states where we can control our resources and develop our land just like the rest of her 51 states, then we can give it up Biafran because we would have got most of what we want. Freedom to aspire to be whatever we want to be and security.
kapish!

Lol. What's the cause of the other killings in Southern Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Niger, Taraba and infact most parts of Nigeria? Is it because they have IPOB over there? Fools
See what one APC political jobbers said about Amotekun. He said it will cost them the presidency. Chai! Any reasonable person will ask why so? Who is afraid of Amotekun? I'm not a criminal so I'm not afraid of her; only criminals are. Therefore, those who want to offer the presidency at the cost of Amotekun hate the Yorubas. That want the Yorubas dead that's why they want Amotekun disbanded. Amotekun was formed to protect Yorubas citizens alongside other peaceful inhabitants of Yorubaland from terrorist fulani herdsmen unless if Amotekun is for something else. Therefore, anyone saying such is an enemy of the Yorubas.

How is Kanu deceiving Igbos? What did he do that is bad? That he asked people to contribute to what he is doing? Is that so bad? Besides, he did not force anyone to contribute if they dont want to. You are talking about operation Python dance? Uwazurike was leading MASSOB in a different way to the Method of Kanu, they still sent the military after him many times and killed many MASSOB. I have watched a few videos of that Ijele guy and everyone can see he is just another "Sabo" who wants IPOB destroyed so that the Biafran agitation can die. I dont watch his video any more.

How is he deceiving Igbos? You having a problem with his methods doesn't take away the fact that without IPOB no body will hear anything meaningful about Biafran...

If you think Kanu's method is not right then share yours

Typical born slave who attacks the messenger and ignore the message.
Call them whatever name you like, but do us a favour, tackle at least one point in their argument first!!
Ipob is fighting for a better igbo nation since Nigeria is clearly irredeemable, their course is real, am sure u can feel the hardship in Nigeria so why complain about people who are sacrificing to free you from slavery?
Which Nigerian looting politician/governor that doesn't belong to any real secret cult?
Have you ever written against them?

If their style is odd as some may claim, you give them the blueprint of a better method of approach.
Do you know how many times Europeans revolted against their leaders in 17th and 18th century to get to where they are today?
