BIAFRA: Buhari Should Dialogue With IPOB Now Before It Turns Into Another Civil War



These are not the best of times for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a pro-Biafra secessionist group founded by Nnamdi Kanu. IPOB's aim is to actualise the independence of Biafra within the shortest possible time.

Under the current administration, IPOB protesters have been heavily clamped down by security forces in the country. A few weeks ago, we reported how IPOB protesters clashed with members of the Department of State Services in Enugu state. It was bloody.



Since the clash, an IPOB member known as Mazi Ofornedu Okoafor has remained in detention even though he needs urgent medical attention. According to Daily Post, the Enugu state police command and soldiers picked up Okoafor alongside his grandfather on August 23rd, 2020, while receiving treatment at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital in the State.

We cannot authenticate this news at this time. However, the paper reports that IPOB has issued a strong warning to the police in the state. The group threatened that should anything befall Okoafor while in detention, the police and security agencies in the state would pay very dearly for it.



A statement released by IPOB reads in part: “We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) condemn in the strongest possible terms the continued inhumane, illegal and immoral detention of Mazi Ofornedu Okoafor who was abducted with his grandfather at the (UNTH) Enugu where he was receiving medical treatment for bullet wounds inflicted on him by the same Nigerian Police and soldiers on the 23rd of August 2020 at Emene in Enugu State.

“Why an innocent man, grievously injured by the police, should be chained to the floor in a police cell rather than receiving treatment in a hospital defies logic and common sense. This brand of supporter of APC policing should be condemned by every right thinking person.”


This writer would hate so much to give the impression that he is either a supporter or an opponent of the clamour for the secession of Biafra. That's not the intention. The fact however is there is an underlying problem behind all of these unfortunate experiences with IPOB.

For the umpteenth time, the writer will like to say that the Igbos have a genuine reason to feel marginalised from the Nigerian commonwealth. They have never produced a head of state since Aguiyi Ironsi. They feel politically incapacitated in their own country.

Instead of deploying a battalion to clamp down on them, why not just have a dialogue with them? Without this, IPOB would remain to be a protest group. Without dialoguing with IPOB and the Igbos at large, we may be setting the stage for another civil war in Nigeria.

Lol. Another civil war or massacre? Children who have never seen war cry for war the most. Go and ask survivors of the Biafra war if they will like to repeat the experience.

Lalasticlala please do your job.

Who is shouting war song?

Its human history. Whenever a group rises up for freedom, another group will rise up to suppress them.

But no matter what, Biafrans will eventually be free

History may repeat itself but this time it will not be funny. This no difference b/w the time Buhari ruled nig., now and the past. You find out what happened in the time past,is repeating itself now. It is not funny now you know? But let me tell you if what is happening should persist and nothing is done to control it. My brother the repeat of another civil war may happen again and this one may be deathly than before. It is said that no country that experience civil war the second time survives it. Now people are calling the gov., to order now they don't want to listen. My own say here is that government should address this now.

We don't want war


Pls don't retaliate


This is the same reason Fulani HERDSMEN is killing and nothing is happening


THEIR STRONGEST WEAPON IS TO INTIGATE FEAR ON YOU THEN MOVE TO KILL YOU WHILE YOU WATCH AND DO NOTHING


WE ARE AT WAR ALREADY IN NIGERIA....THE ONLY THING IS ITS ONE SIDED BECAUSE ONLY THE FULANI ARE DOING THE KILLING AND THE REST OF US ARE COWERING INTO THE FEAR THEY HAVE INPLANTED IN US....


Instead of warning their happy trigger soldiers to stop so there won't be war....they are telling the victims not to retaliate to avoid war


Instead of arresting their holy war nomadic militia going around villages killing and rapping....they are instigating fear on the victims to never retaliate because it could mean war....



FULANI WINS WAR WITH FEAR.....FEAR IS THEIR WEAPON AND ITS WORKING FOR THEM IN NIGERIA

Dialogue with a proscribed group?

Let Ipob members behave first

Ipob is calling for a referendum so their people can determine if they want Nigeria or not ...that's step one

Is there anything wrong with that ?

Python dance 3 Pro

Can't they follow due process for their call for referendum?

Can't they follow due process for their call for referendum?

What's the due process to call for referendum ?
What due process was followed before Nigerians where allowed elective position by whites ?
What due process was followed before woman where allowed to voted
What due process were followed before blacks where allowed to vote

Due process is to take the referendum from state assembly up to the national assembly.

Making empty threats online won't give you Biafra.

If you want out, follow due process or Python shall dance another skelewu..

Who made that the due process ? You or just personal opinion ?

Python once dance in brono years ago and the Bible is begging to stop dancing till date l


Let python keep dancing ..

If Nigeria army attack ipob and they decide to pick up arms ...there are many million igbos who don't believe in ipob but would donate for them to buy arms

Nothing will happen. Nigerians are very selfish and not willing to make any sacrifice to better their lives.

For people with two digit IQ like u

Things like referendum

Starts at the national assembly if passed it's sent to the state assembly ...u would need 2/3 of all the state assembly to pass it for it to hold

Or president can just give an executive order

Hope u get now or should I break it down more for u ?

we don't negotiate with terrorist

Nobody is talking IPOB serious my friend. Buhari doesn't have time for the clown, let them try their capacity in another civil war. There will be victor and vanquish this time I promise you.

Bring another war nah. You sacrificed three million souls the other time, if you are ready to sacrifice 50 million souls now, the Yoruba gods of Ogun, Sango, Osun, Oya, Obatala, Aiyelala and Esu Odara will be happy to drink much blood of stubborn chest beaters.

Biafra will definitely come but not through IPOB or Kanu. this is very obvious.

War that when the battlefield really got hot and reached his front even Ojukwu did not hang around to see how it would end. He was sending recorded messages to his people while he himself was safely in Ivory Coast.

That is War. War separates the real Warriors from the Windbags.

Yes. Do it through the National Assembly.
Your Political representatives are there.
Imagine Boko Haram or the Shiites demanding a referendum for an Islamic republic.

Go through your elected representatives.

Nobody gives 2 bleeps about ipob or Biafra. They are just noise makers. If the noise gets too loud, we will fish out the noise makers and flog them

if war is what will bring biafra so be it, the war begin already death is the best type of rest ever the north kee frightening the south with war whenever we talk of secesion they shouldnt forget they too would die war is two sided thing both parties involved will feel the pains of the war.

Imagine in 1967 Ojukwu who had no food to feed his People was Campaigning for War.

Even 200 years ago Nigerian's ancestors with no Formal Education understood that the first thing you secure in War is your food Supply, weapons come after. How Oxford Educated Ojukwu didn't understand that simple principle is a wonder.

Otherwise War is no option and you just keep using diplomacy to negotiate until you arrive at a favourable agreement.
