A retired London Police Officer described IPOB as a STREET GANG.

I did research on that and it is exactly correct. IPOB is a violent street gang. I would not engage with those that kill, castrate, behead and do human rituals. Any true Christian will put them in jail. We should only engage and dialogue with non-violent people. Just as is done in those civilised oyeebo countries we all pray to live in.

TIME TO STOP THE IPOB MESS IN THE S’EAST
New Telegraph
12 August 2021
Is it safe to say that IPOB has become more powerful than state governments in the area, such that their words supersede those of elected chief executives?

https://www.newtelegraphng.com/time-to-stop-the-ipob-mess-in-the-seast/

How can New Telegraph or whatever they call themselves ask this question when bandits, Bokoharam, ISWAP and fulani herdsmen are more powerful than the federal government

Is it not this very act of pampering these terrorists that made these secessionists pick up arms

I am disappointed in New Telegraph if they hadn't spoken against the terrorism, killing people in the North all in the name of sharia but chastising the south Easterners

Is sharia more powerful than the constitution or the federal government

There's a plan to islamize Nigeria, no amount of paid publication will stop the revolution if the government is adamant in it evil ways!

You can only engage and dialogue with a leader

Buhari is an autocratic ruler!

Even you don't know the meaning of dialogue

Look at your comment, you have concluded already, so what's there to dialogue

Just keep living in denial

amc:


And the FG is bound by the constitution to keep Nigeria as one. So you see the problem? One wants to breakup the country and the other is bound by the constitution to ensure the country does not break up.

Which part of the Nigerian constitution gives room for sharia but not ESN of AMOTEKUN

when it favours you guys you remember the constitution

Oshisko

TIME TO STOP THE IPOB MESS IN THE S’EAST
New Telegraph
12 August 2021

For some months now, tension has heightened in the South-East and parts of the South-South geopolitical zones. The tension is owing to the activities of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its security outfit, Eastern Security Network (ESN). The groups were accused by the Federal Government of being responsible for the burning down of government facilities, killing of police and other security officials in the South-east. That is in addition to the burning of some private residencies of some individuals in the area, including the touching of the house of Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinmma in his Awo Omuma country home.

The allegation by the Federal Government and its agencies in alliance with some state governments in the zone led to the killing of many Igbo youths in the melee that followed. Several youths branded members of IPOB or ESN have been mowed down by security officials in the area in rather controversial circumstances. While the government claimed to have killed IPOB members and commanders of ESN, allegations of extrajudicial killings are rife, with many saying that security officers are killing, maiming and destroying at their whim. We had expected that the detention of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, by the government would have brought some sanity to the zones.

But it appears things are not improving. The number of security agencies on the roads, searching, frisking and harassing innocent citizens in the name of looking for IPOB/ESN members has not abetted. On the stretch of the Aba-Owerri road alone, there are no fewer than 30 checkpoints manned by soldiers and policemen, as well as officials of the Nigeria Security and Defence Corps, Federal Road Safety Corps and many other agencies of government.

Incidentally, while some are on the road to search for criminals, others are on a bazaar, extorting money from commercial drivers and other motorists. While we acknowledge that there is a need to curtail the activities of the separatists, we do not think that stopping ordinary citizens from moving freely is good for the zone. Already, businesses and other concerns in the area are suffering collateral damage as a result of the face-off between the government and the group. Just on Monday, a number of people were killed, vehicles damaged and business and other activities grounded once again, owing to a sit-athome order by IPOB to South Easterners over the continued detention of Kanu by the Federal Government.

This has been a recurring event in the zone, leaving us to wonder who is in charge of the states -IPOB or the governors. We have no doubt that governments in the East have lost control of their states to Kanu and his supporters. Otherwise, how could the people of the region obey Kanu and IPOB against the directives of the government and even Ohanaeze Ndigbo? We believe that it is a very worrying sign that needs to be addressed by leadership at all levels in the South-East. That would also exculpate the governors and leaders of the area from the blame that might follow the activities of the group.

Can we say for sure that the governors do not control what happens in their states? Is it safe to say that IPOB has become more powerful than state governments in the area, such that their words supersede those of elected chief executives? We are worried that sadly, governors of the zone have become lame ducks in the unfolding scenario. We recall that around 2006, when Nigeria held its last population census, the then Ralph Uwazurike-led Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) had played the same role IPOB is playing now. MASSOB actively discouraged South Easterners from participating in the exercise. The result is still showing today as the region has turned out to be the least populous of the six regions in the country.

Sadly, after Kanu toppled him for lack of transparency and formed IPOB, Uwazurike appears to have seen the light and is back to Nigeria. But the damage he did to the South-East is still hurting the zone till date. It was a similar scenario with registration of voters in the region then. We have no doubt that many people in the zone are disenchanted with the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. That is ostensibly because of the lopsided appointments of the administration, its actions and inactions against the zone. But we can conveniently state that Buhari has a fixed tenure that would end on May 29, 2023. On that day, the Buhari administration would become history like others that came before it. That is the beauty of democracy. But can we say that the havoc being wreaked on the South-East by IPOB will stop with Buhari? The answer is a big no!

That is because the economic loss, the figures and facts that are being accumulated now, will haunt the region, even after Buhari has left office. Talk of self-destruction. That is why we strongly believe that by whatever means possible, governors and leaders of the zone have a serious job on their hands to stop the secessionist group and re-orientate their people towards working for the greater good of all. We do not believe that there are no leaders that can talk to the activists in the region.

We know for sure that some other regions achieved ascendancy to the presidency by agitations but we point out that the IPOB/ESN agitations are doing the South-East more harm than good in the scheme of things in the country. The Igbo have become suspicious elements in the political equation of the country since after the civil war. IPOB is not helping their cause. Rather, it is opening old wounds. That is why it is now incumbent on the governors to stem the tide against their region.

People who remain silent when fulani terrorists attack and kill Igbos but always rush out to accuse MNK and IPOB of fighting back are certainly not friends of Igbos and the SE. History has recorded that throughout all the times fulani terrorists attacked raping and killing women and farmers including the kidnap of commuters in the whole southern Nigeria, the combination of both the Nigerian police and army did not kill, repel, arrest or prosecute of those terrorists. Are we so quick to forget the plenty protest organized by women adorning black clothes or going half nude in the traditional protest mood of most Africans? Have we forgotten the cries of those family members that have suffered raising money for fulani kidnappers across the length and breadth of southern Nigeria while the government both state and federal remained apathetic to the sufferings of the victims? Was ESN and Amotekun formed just for show? Are we so quick to forget the resistance that tailed their formation from those who formed Hisbah- an illegal body that goes about destroying constitutionally backed alcoholic businesses of southerners? If you have forgot, we have not. Today those attacks are no more thanks to the efforts of those brave ESN and Amotekun men that sacrificed their lives to curtail the activities of those fulani terrorists in the South. If it wasn't for them, what would have been the fate of our communities? Has the threat from the terrorists been eradicated? NO. Has it subsided? Yes. Is there a need to disband these brilliant groups that stopped them presently? NO. Without defeating the sponsors and backers of those fulani terrorists that invaded the South, it is foolishness calling for the disbanding of these groups because it will be difficult calling for volunteers again. We must support and appreciate each and every one of them. Many paid the supreme price is bringing respite to our communities. The current terrorists in Asorock must be defeated before discussing any disbanding. We must not allow them set the tone of negotiation. They must not be allowed to use these groups to blackmail us. We must remember that they have not yielded to any political demands from the South rather they've been the ones throwing all sorts of devilish demands down South like the ruga, waterways bill and the damning Petroleum Industrial Bill.
Finally, let us not forget the exposition of Dr. Obadiah Mailafia. The time frame he gave for a full scale conflagration is 2022. Any smart person will know that the least any region can do is to leave themselves defenceless in that year. In fact, those regions without a militia currently should be pitied because they certainly do not know how to make hay while the sun shines. Lest I forget, a cursory look into the recent hasty coverage of Boko haram surrender and the annoying hobnobbing the military are having with smiling terrorists that ravaged communities for over a decade ought to be thoroughly investigated. Why should you disband your security when so called soldiers are asking the people to forgive terrorists who destroyed their lives and communities? Are we this foolish not to see a script playing out here? While the Nigerian Army is doing a PR job for 12 years old boko terrorists, few months old resistance groups down South are being hounded by the same army. Where are your senses southerners?
Something big is coming from the same sponsors of boko haram which till date are not known. Reasonable people will remain on the watch.
God Bless ESN
God Bless IPOB
God Bless Biafra.
