You are very sound and deep in your reasoning.

IPOB is calling for a break up, Yoruba do not believe in that ideology.

#EndSARS is a protest against a societal menace, bedeviling the entire country.
Igbos kept quiet, they hid under their pillow, whenever it is time to be counted, they are nowhere to be found.
after voting sai baba with nepa certificate, u are here looking for who will join u protest the monster u created. U never see anything

The OP is spot on. No protest is greater than the 'No' vote the East gave this administration in 2015 and 2019 while yorubas cheered Buhari as he rigged his way to power.

Now the administration is swallowing the SW because of their myopic electoral foolery yet the hypocrites expect the East to join them to protest on the street. Why should the East join you after all the insult you showered on them when they counselled you in 2015 about the electoral suicide you are bent on committing?

You were warned before and the East has given up on your foolishness. In 2023 the East is still very sure that you are bound to go to the polling units to commit another suicide because you yorubas hardly learn from history and then start crying again with placards, looking for other people to join your protesting jamboree. So why should they bother when you guys seem to only try to cure your headache by cutting off your own heads instead of buying the paracetamol the Igbo man is offering you?

If you don't wanna protest stays at home (the battle is your battle you said you are going to farm when you comes back you still gonna meet it)how many northern police officers are brutal like the southern police officers in Nigeria police. The records were there take statistics of the officers how killed people how many northern police officers were there, we need to be sincere with ourselves. God willing when you get your baifar some of this officers are going to be recruit

This is the best comment. You speak nothing but the truth, SARS killing is in the south and is southern police officers who are the perpetrators.

Is so bad that when you have a police case or someone close to you with SARS officers, you will see that the officer(s) trying to extort you are your fellow Southerner

You see your fellow igboman just because he is in uniform will be speaking pidgin English for you.

This you've written is an encouragement to tribalism.

I understand you might be angry but then tribalism isn't something we should promote in any way.

Thank you.
But they guy is right.


If you supported the killing of protesters in east,you have indirectly sold your right to protest.


No reasonable Igbo man will join that protest.

I have often said it here on Nairaland that SARS is a state sponsored terrorist organisation and I stand by it. They have killed and brutalised many innocent people.

However, I think that we Igbos should not participate in the Endsars protest despite the fact that many Igbos have been the innocent victims of SARS.

1) Endsars is pointless. The government of Buhari, which we all know is more for Northern interests, will not end SARS. The extra-judicial killings, torture and brutality of SARS is mainly in the South of Nigeria, it hardly affects the North. SARS cannot be ended without Buhari's permission and if it is not affecting the North, why would he end it?

2) Even if SARS is ended or scrapped, will that really change any thing? The Police, Army, Navy, DSS and other armed forces will still be brutalising and killing innocent Nigerians daily just like SARS. Wether you end SARS or not, other arms of the armed forces will still be doing exactly what SARS is doing. The protest should not have been Endsars, it should have been 'end armed forces brutality and illegal killing'

3) Nigerians can be hypocrites. Many of those protesting Endsars are the same people who kept silent when different branches of the armed forces were shooting and killing unarmed IPOB protesters. Some of them are happy when they see unarmed innocent Biafran protesters killed, tortured, made to lay lay down in muddy water, dehumanised and detained. They dont care because its not their tribe or Region. They only remember that injustice is a bad thing when SARS is doing it to their people. They dont know that the injustice you support or ignore today may become the injustice that may be done to you tomorrow

I think that Igbos should not participate in Endsars protest for these reasons

Nigeria is not exempt from the law of sowing and reaping. The South East has the most checkpoints than any other geographical space in the world and we have been experiencing SARS killings for years without anybody caring. Now it has gone round and everybody understands how if feels

When almost 40 male bodies were found floating in a river in Anambra State years ago and we cried out that SARS was responsible , the same people talking about End Sars today were mocking us and called the victims MASSOB members who deserved it. Lets be careful about what the seeds we sow and make sure not to neglect a problem because we feel we are not affected. I don talk my own

Nna, you are 100% spot on. I understand that our thought process is quite different from that of those who criticize this post of yours for you were able to put down your points concisely.
Let me make it clearer for them may be they can get it. Igbos won't protest against SARS despite being among the biggest casualties of those state backed criminals because it will be akin to just attempting to clear just one symptom among many of a chronic illness. After SARS is shut down, what about the regular police, DSS and the notorious Nigerian Army who grossly violate the lives of our people? We're not foolish to protest for just one thing. We believe that when Nigeria is divided, then all state securities can be handled if they misbehave. Let it be known that we refused to join the protest because it is small compared to the bigger problem facing our people.
As for those calling us names and cowards, we don't care. We've faced the soldiers countless times therefore ordinary protest against SARs is nothing. We're waiting for destiny defining moments on a national level and not some protest from criminal mufty wearing SARS personnel.
This is our position.
