EASTERN SECURITY NETWORK; A MONSTER OR MESSIAH?

In a Nation Polarized by Ethnic Tensions and fear of Expansionism, their is need to have 'Balance of Terror' (Students of International Relations will Understand this better) for that is what will guarantee respect and equal treatment from the other ethnic groups.

I wish to digress a bit before I delve into the core of this discourse. It's imperative to note that the history taught in our various schools are all 'Concocted Subterfuge', we were taught how Europe Balkanized Africa in the Berlin Conference of 1884 led by the German Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck and later Colonized us following their agreement in that conference, we were also taught about the 1804 Jihad of Uthman Dan Fodio and how he Conquered the Hausa's.

What they failed to teach us was that:

• Both the Europeans and the Fulani's are on the same Expansionist Conquest

• Nigeria has two Colonial Masters which are the Europeans and the Fulani's, while the former left after our independence, the later continued from where the former stopped, thus, it wouldn't be wrong to say Nigeria is still under the Colonization of the Fulani's.

Back to the purpose of this discourse, the reason the Fulani's seems to be untouchable and stronger than every other Tribal Nation in Nigeria is because they have a well cordinated 'Standing Army' in the name of (MACBAN) ready to unleash terror once there's disagreement.

It was quite a pity that it took us quite some decades before we understood the game despite our aclaimed intellectual prowess.

The Yoruba's are the first to understand that;
'In this power cum survival game, it's highly Irrational to be acting Rational in the midst of Irrational People who don't even know the value of Rationalism', hence the creation of Amotokun.

Recall that the creation of Amotekun was resisted strongly by Northern Oligarchs but the Unity of purpose among the South Western Governors ensured that the Yoruba Security outfit became recognized and legalized by law as Community Police to curb insecurity in their region.

Amotekun was resisted by the Northern Oligarchs cause they knew the outfit is beyond just Community Policing, it also serves as a military wing of the Yoruba Nation.

Failure of the Igbos Leaders and Governors to replicate something similar to either Northen Hisbah/MACBAN or South Western Amotekun several months after Amotekun was birthed
gave Kanu the chance to capitalize on their lapses and create EASTERN SECURITY NETWORK.

The Northerners has the State Hisbah Corps, a religious Police Force in Northern States responsible for the enforcement of Sharia and Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) their Militia wing which serves as a standing army. the South West has Amotekun which serves a dual purpose of Policing and Standing Army, THEN WHY NOT SOUTH EAST?

So why are the Northern Oligarchs worried despite having their own Police and Militia wing?

Their recent worries and insinuations no doubt is a proof that when you get worried over the security of other people. Then look no further, you're the thief and the reason they need security.

I DON'T SUBSCRIBE TO NNAMDI KANU'S AGITATION NEITHER AM I AN IPOB APOLOGIST BUT IT'S PERTINENT TO NOTE THAT: "THE IMPORTANCE OF BALLANCE OF TERROR AMONG THE MAJOR ETHNIC GROUPS IN NIGERIA CAN NEVER BE OVER EMPHASIZED."

SHOULD WE SIT AND FOLD OUR HANDS, THE FULANI'S THROUGH THEIR EXPANSIONIST QUEST WILL OVERRUN OUR FARMLANDS AND BACKYARDS AS THEY DID TO THE HAUSA'S AND YOURUBA'S IN KWARA AND ILLORIN.

CHARTING A NEW COURSE...

The leaders of various Igbo Socio Cultural Groups and Governors should use their Political Influence, Position, Money and everything at their disposal to hijack the Eastern Security Network, tame it and ensure it's recognized legally just like Amotekun. What will guarantee the Success of IGBO Nation will be our Unity of purpose.

I DON'T KNOW WETHER THE EASTERN SECURITY NETWORK IS EITHER A MONSTER OR MESSIAH.

BUT I DO KNOW THAT HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER DICTATES THE TUNE.. IGBO ELDERS AND LEADERS SHOULD DO THE NEEDFUL..

I agree, let the government highjack it and make it legal, just like Amotekun. Trying to disband it will create chaos and the peace we desire will be defeated.

The joke of an outfit called ESN just exposed the Governors and leaders in South East as Cowards.. nothing more, nothing less.

A messiah....

but you called them gallantry when they were proscribing IPOB now they are coward to you


Well we have always known them as cowards because they refuse to float their own security network


But who cares in Igbo land we know there're elders and stupid elders we don't treat them all equally because they are elders

The challenge in the East is that their leaders are not United.

They can hardly agree on issues like this.

There is nothing wrong in defending your fatherland against external aggression. If Nigerians must live together peacefully then every ethnic nationalities must be accorded equal respect.
It makes no sense that the fg looks the other way round when Fulani's have chased our people out of our farm lands with guns and machetes.

Well, may God help Nigeria and the Mod that banned me from commenting for 2 days.

Hisbah police, amotekun, miyetti allah a monster or messiah?
