So they should stand by and watch the terrorists warfare? Lol.

The Army is flattening any ESN terrorist that moves or doesn't move; whether guerrilla, baboon or chimpanzee.

the way they did in Borno and bauchi, shooting everything kanuri and Fulanis?

They are not shooting at everything.

They are targeting IPOB/ESN terrorists.

From the air and ground, just like Borno.

First off, I condemn killings of unarmed people or security personnel, especially by our military, and now by 'unknown gunmen'.

But isn't this like drawing needed resources from NE, and NW to chase shadows.

Cos in pulling the military away from North where the main crisis is, they invariably hand over initiative to the kidnappers, bandits, and terrorists in those area. So when the terrorists up their game in the North, will they pull out this men to go and engage them? Everyone knows that the Nigeria military is overstretched and cannot sustain engagement in multiple fronts. Just yesterday, the military said they want to engage Sunday Ighoho and Asari Dokubu, I asked with which army, weapons and resource. To make matter worse, a sizable population (not necessary the majority) in these places, including the North seem largely behind what these non state actors are doing. So how then can the military win when they have lost the heart and mind of the population, through their previous misconduct? How are they going to acquire needed intelligence? From who?

I think that the approach to solving myriads of Nigeria problem has left so much to be desired. And it actually compound the problem. And the ill-disciplined, poorly trained, and sparse equipped, overstretched Nigeria Military is a bigger part of the problem. Let's us see how the become the solution.

IPOB didn't calculate and prepare for collateral damage when they were deliberately looking for trouble?

The only way out is for them to expose and produce the IPOB/ESN terrorists among them to avoid becoming innocent scapegoats.

The Nigerian army does not disappoint in the south.

Soldiers were killed in the north recently with camps attacked, there they know how to be civilized and try to act with intelligence.

But the conquered south and probably a soldier of its extraction will be ordered to go on a spree in the south, killing civilians and increasing the resentment and people ready to take up arms against them.

Civilians will end up joining the rebels and even cchild soldiers.

The same thing is happening at the bornu war front. Child soldiers are being used but it's seldomly reported in the news ...
I went today, I am even still there and they are discussing what is happening in the south west and south east. They say road blocks in the south east comprising of police and army is too much and they mandate drivers to drop at every stop. I have never been to the east before but I know how it feels like to be extorted and harrased by security personnel : its traumatic.

The day I heard about the Ogbigbo killings I knew there was bound to b reprisal attack. You can't kill my unarmed brother, sisters or parents and not expect so sort of vengeance.

BUT VENGEANCE IS OF THE LORD.

Why going on killing spree of security agents, military and police officers? Definitely, there would be consequences.

there is nothing those groups can do. We have paid and keep paying terrible costs for being Igbo in Nigeria, the chicken is home to roost now. Even as I get afraid for what the future holds, am man enough to know that the fault lies at the centre

We are seek and tired of conducting national conferences that will be trash in the dustbin after sometime.They should rather pick up all the documents from the previous national conference and harmonize it to solve our problem.No more national conference.Its a waste of time and money.

that is the job of security agents, you can't expect FBI or CIA to start threatening civilians to reveal criminals among them it is their job to do so, that's what they are paid for. killing innocents will lead to more insurrection.

that's what gave book haram more sympathizers when they're killed unarmed, people should learn from history

You must be joking.

This is one fight the Nigerian military can never win, and let me tell you why.

After about one week of the military being present in the eastern streets, ESN will be learning their moves, where they congregate, what sort of weapons they have in each checkpoint, and how many personnel the military and police have deployed to each area. With all these information, ESN can start to do major damage to the security forces in about two or three weeks time. It is so obvious, but the dullard in power can't see this. Buhari thinks the solution to every problem is the gun. He is about to learn some lessons, if care is not taken.

Buhari is no longer dealing with flag-waving unarmed youths. His military is about to feel the fury of once innocent people, he helped radicalize by killing and raping their brothers and sisters.

Easterners don't want police checkpoints that are used as a means to kidnap and carry civilians to the North so they can be raped and their organs harvested. Northerners need these checkpoints because the north is being ravaged by insecurity. How can we have about 4 police checkpoints for a less than 500 metres road and each checkpoint requires the driver to drop some money? They've been warned to leave the road before now but they think it's child's play. MNK has said this is just a prelude when they main song starts, you'll hear scores. The east is always being marginalised, they have numerous checkpoints, numerous taxes, no good roads yet they are the most taxed tribe because they are business inclined and are all over the place. Imagine the fact that it would've been easier to have a working seaport around the south south closer for easterners but the government would require them to go all the way to lagos and still transport these things down here finally making things costlier and life more difficult for the easterners.

Igbos can't continue like this, it isn't working. Igbos want out and will get it come what may.
MNK said the dragon flag has been raised... it won't come down until the Igbos are either free or all dead. Every single one.

Lolz! Life has always been difficult for the innocent masses and business owners here in the east. Business owners know how to survive the heat. How long was the covid-19 lockdown again? Do you really think that can't borne again? Igbos need to be free... you don't understand how bad the story has been, the media doesn't carry it because it is the east.

Imagine Customs officers coming into the market to carry away foreign rice because it has been banned? Where the hell is that done? The same officers that must have been bribed on the road.

F.uck it the country isn't working. Innocent Igbos have been bleeding and obviously they've bled enough.
