Why IPOB Split Into Kanu, Dokubo Factions by Shehuyinka: 2:42pm On Mar 16, 2021
IN the South-Eastern part of Nigeria, several groups are seeking the actualisation of a nation called Biafra. The frontrunner of these groups is the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), led by Nnamdi Kanu.

IPOB has emerged as a powerful force, founding an online radio and winning the hearts of many Igbo-speaking people in Nigeria and abroad. However, there are cracks in IPOB’s wall as a splinter group has emerged.

The splinter group, called Biafra Customary Government, is led by Asari Dokuba, an activist for the Niger Delta and Uche Mefor, a former deputy leader of IPOB. But why did IPOB split?

SB Morgan, an organisation focused on geopolitical research and strategic communications consulting firm focused around Africa, explains the reasons in a report titled ‘Discord at Sunrise: What does Split in IPOB mean?’

DSS, Police, Army silent on reported deaths from IPOB clash with security operatives
Soyinka: Buhari hiding behind ‘national interest’ to subvert rule of law
During the inauguration of Dokubo, Ralph Uwazuruike, founder of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), another prominent group agitating for a Biafran state, was present at the venue. However, as expected, Kanu was absent, the report says.

Before the resignation of Mefor from IPOB, a faction in the United Kingdom had demanded a financial account of the funds raised for the organisation, an action that did not go well with Kanu, SB Morgan notes.

In response to the demand, Kanu abolished the position of deputy leader being held by Mefor and subsequently scrapped the UK IPOB faction, which was loyal to the latter.

Apart from the conflict that arose from lack of financial accountability, Mefor and his loyalists were reported to be against the ‘violent approach’ of the Kanu- led IPOB, which had led to a various crisis between the Nigerian military and Eastern Security Network (a subsection of IPOB in Eastern Nigeria), the report further says.

At least two violent disputes have occurred between the Nigerian military and the ESN in 2021 that left people dead in Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State.

While the military claimed four soldiers were killed, the ESN said that several of its members were killed, leading to the closure of some schools and markets in Imo State.

Can Mefor-Dokubo synergy work?

Having crippled an organised loyalty to Mefor, Kanu sought the support of Dokubo, who is from the South-South region of the country, where some have reportedly distanced themselves from collaborating with the Igbo who they say are in the majority.

What you don't get is that this will not end well, This very scenario is bringing the head of two old foes, rivals and more together, Igbos have many scores with Ijaws, 1. During slavery they kidnapped our people and sold them to slavery.
2. Adaka Borro rose against the Igbo lead federal government.
3. Some of them joined to fight us in Biafra.
4. They were beneficiary of the Abandoned properties in PH.

For the sake of humanity, let Asari be joking, I know we had stepped on Ijaw toes as well, as I had heard reports of some actions of some elements of the Biafran army, but this time it is the Ijaw man that is drawing the first attack, no matter how terrible Kanu is, siding with an Igbo man to decimate and take glory for a struggle our parents died for is an attack on all Igbos.

Our parents was starved for this Biafra to death, Biafra is bigger than Kanu and Dokubo, but Dokubo should not make a mockery of the Graves of millions of slain Biafrans including children, Kanu, Uche Mefor and Now Asari should be careful, especially Asari, he should not out of carelessness bring Igbos and Ijaws to a brutal clash, Biafra is bigger than anybody.

Everyone knows that, that overweight Kalabari Dokubo is a joker. Kalabari people knows he’s not fighting for them, he uses Niger Delta’s people name to collect money from FG. Had Nnamdi Kanu collected money would the struggle had been successful?

Biafra is a don deal and Nnamdi Kanu is a democrat that will be in forefront of the discussion because his vision was clear and he never backed down. what a winner

Nnamdi kanu is a known criminal and fugitive with no visible means of livelihood other than swindling empty heads.

Is Ipob now a company or freedom fighting an occupation?

Nnamdi Kanu remains the most useless Igbo man on earth..

From biafra to Buhari is dead to buhari is Jubril to they want to jail Orji Uzor ( What sort of freedom fighter will side a known thief who ruined his state if not that such fighter is also a thief....

From buhari right ear is different from his 2015 ear to he wear pams in Aso rock to his eye is different and to all forms of gibberish with no end at sight...


Well for those who are the said biafrans , aburom any biafra and a scammer who can't salvage his own state has nothing to offer but online noise from facebook to twitter to instagram....

Afonjas, focus on the Fulani incursion in your land and your refugees brethren in benin republic. Like all fake groups created by DSS: Biafran Army (to counter ESN), Igbo Liberation Front, Indigenous Peoples of Igbos, Federation of Igbo states, e.t.c.., and Biafran Customary De Facto Government (see useless name carefully given to them by DSS and idiotsss took it), they will all fail.

Re: Why IPOB Split Into Kanu, Dokubo Factions by Tochj(m): 5:37pm On Mar 16, 2021
For your information
IPOB has only one command
That's MNK
There is nothing like splinter group in IPOB
If few hungry people came together and declare themselves leaders
Does that make any sense?
Leadership is defined by followers
Without followers No leaders
