A video has shown the moment Nigerian soldiers set ablaze houses allegedly belonging to members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, Eastern Security Network (ESN).

The incident it was gathered happened at Lilu Forest in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The Nigerian army said IPOB/ESN members used the place as an operational base.

The operations, which was conducted in the early hours of Monday 17 January 2022, led to the neutralization of some gunmen in a fire fight that ensued.

Cowhari bois at work again

Useless terrorists in uniform.

Terroists in uniform ,ndi ara

So ESN now have houses with tiles?
Every madness get end

Barbarian rascals at work.

I just hope they are not burning innocent people's houses ooo.
I'm interested in how they knew the house bolongs to IPOB ESN

Looking for trouble first and will later cry foul when they retaliate.

Left to me i will say millitary personnels should be posted to their geo political zones or even state of origins. There is so much hatred in the land.

Abooki should be posted to abooki land.

The Nigerian Army and the way they act makes me feel those in their helms of affairs are dumb.

Not the right way to go about these

That is war crime.

But beheading and killing of innocent igbo girls by the terrorists you support is not a crime against humanity?

Kontinue supporting evil o...

Karma has everyone's address (she never misses road)

Posterity will judge us all.


RIP our darling relative Miracle Nwobodo,
Your blood that was shed on that day (along with hundreds of innocent igbos) will keep fighting for you
We Rise.

ipobarethieves:
.Allow dem to sniff out those overfed RABBITS from their hole

Na why we no dey pity them when the real terrorists dey kill them for north.



Na only fools dey defend this indefensible evil government

Wonlemiboo:
This is really absurd

Killing of innocent igbos is not absurd to you,
Killing of policemen and women by Cownu is not absurd to you at all.
But now this is.

To anyone and everyone supporting wickedness and evil in this nation, they will all reap what they are sowing in due time.

Life has its way of treating fvck ups.
No 2 ways abouriit!
No diggity!!

iammo:
Every human with common sense knows that,

Only some Nairaland Ipobian dunce intentionally want to argue such undisputable fact

U don finish d matter.
God punish all ipob and boko haram terrorists in this nation.
Na animals dem be.

Excerpts from this very interesting Video by Ralph,

Ralph says "Nnamdi Cownu sent his unknown gunmen to attack me yesterday, but when they met my security, they dropped their guns and run (as in JAPA tinz )
I know you very well, I know you are an inconsequential fellow.
The most cowardly person on earth.
Cownu, do you remember Your wedding?
You told your sister that she is in Nigeria Police force, (up till today), to organize police for you, with all the security, SSS, DSS etc that your sister organized"
I sent my men to go and arrest you, and they went to the venue of your wedding, with all the crowd present, Police and security and they took you from the high table, put you in the car and brought you to my front!
I kept you for 5 days, just to teach you a lesson.
Just to show you that Uwazurike is bigger than your destiny.
I never intended to kill you, cos I have never killed anybody in life.
I just want to teach you sense that the mobile Police you gathered through your sister cannot provide security for you if I want to deal with you.
But now, you are saying the biggest mistake I made in life is not killing you.
But what you did last night is funny.
I am not NPF that you can intimidate.
All these odeshi you are shouting now, you learnt it from me.
My men that came to pick you up at your wedding, were they armed?
NO!
I am doing this video to tell thr brainwashed people that says you are fighting for Biafra, no you are a thief.
If you are fighting for Biafra, Uwazurike will be the last person you will come to attack, because I am the originator of the struggle.
I just want to tell everyone (as I have been saying from the word GO, that Nnamdi Cownu was recruited by those he is working for, up till today!
He is not working for Biafra.
He is only having problems with his employers right now, and he went into arms smuggling.
So you think I will go into arms smuggling with young?
No, if I do, the scenario will change.
And you know it that if you are in Nigeria here, you can never do all what you are doing now, I will arrest you personally.
If you doubt me, come into Nigeria, get all your clownish ESN or whatever you call it.
If I don't arrest you, you will know I am not Ralph Uwazurike.
You are hiding wherever you are, and all these crayfish ( ) on the internet are writing nonsense
(Dis man get mouth all, we just learnt another word for children of hate, frustrations and perdition today : CRAYFISH! )
Let's go on with the video jare.......
'If you are here, you dare not do all these rubbish you are doing or talk about me anyhow.
Don't worry, continue in your foolish glorification, commanding the governors etc....
The other day you said Obi of Onitsha should not have his security outfit, that if he does, you will do this, do this and that, but is he not having his security outfit today, are Nnewi people not having theirs today?
You are just making mouth, thinking you can intimidate the governors.
Who are you, you are a nobody Cownu.
I always address and describe you as a NOBODY because I know you from beginning to the end.
YOU ARE A NOBODY, YOU ARE A NOBODY (×5!)
If you are somebody you won't run after just only one attack! .. in your hometown, you ran away!!
Do you know how many attacks after attack I faced since I started this struggle 20 years ago?
But after only one attack you ran away, and you are instigating hooligans here killing people and burning Police stations.
I only pity for these hooligans you are using, you call them unknown gunmen, but they are not unknown again, they are all over social media, your boys are there confessing. They are now known gunmen, no more unknown!
I don't have much to tell you, but if you think you are a man, come here, come to the East.
Come to any part of Nigeria for one week, if you do any of this killings and burning you are doing, if I don't personally arrest you, then you can call me a nobody.
If you think you can intimidate me as you are intimidating other people (our darling Father M comes to mind!), you are mistaken.
Unknown Gunmen my foot!!
And Ralph turned his back to the camera and went to sit down in a King-Like big leather chair, Like A BOSS!!

#RESPECT

Ocholu:
Let me be real with you OP;
He don de clear for Mazi and his goons. This is a clear message to them that the US and UK simply don't want any affiliation with terrorists.

By the time they're done with him, he'll become repentant in Kuje prison.

See what is happening to the economy and people of southeast. Forcing people to stay at home against their will. People wey wan go hustle, see food chop, una de stay say make them sit at home. Shey una go provide for them food and other amenities ni??

Worst is that Nnamdi Kanu always appears in court looking very fresh and daper. That his white track down and suit that's someone's annual salary, is who you're sitting at home for.

Another wise man on Nairaland.
God bless your parents for giving us a King like you.
Your truth may be bitter to dem,
Make dem dieee reading the absolute Truth about the anima called cownu, that his father apologized to all Nigerians, that his son has a serious mental problem.

Golan007:

Lawlessness

Cownu will rot in hell, for all the brainwashed cannibals supporting the devil called Cownu,
Your mothers will go through what Miracle mother went through and still going through at this moment,
As long as God lives.


South-East violence: It’s too late to cry


When police stations, police and military checkpoints, offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission, and prisons in the South-East were being attacked by an unidentified group later named “unknown gunmen,” many people from the region, especially those with sympathies for the separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra, applauded them. Their argument was that the police and the military had killed a lot of innocent members of IPOB and other people and deserved whatever they got. But many people warned that such attacks should not be applauded, because violence begets violence and soon gets out of hand.

It happened in the early years of the first decade of the 21st century in the Niger Delta. The Niger Delta militants began kidnapping expatriate oil workers for ransom. The kidnapping was justified by many people because the victims were white folks. But soon, the kidnappers ran out of white victims and targeted politicians and their parents. People still justified it. Then politicians beefed up security around themselves and their loved ones. Kidnapping had become lucrative, attractive and difficult to stop. More people joined and everybody became a target. It then spread to the South-East, South-West, and other parts of the North and became a Nigerian problem.

The same thing happened with Boko Haram. They started with suicide attacks on police formations. Many Northerners hailed them as modern-day Voltron. They attacked churches, the United Nations headquarters, newspaper offices, town union meetings. They still received tacit support, since they were attacking outsiders or “infidels”. They were seen as a group which had come to sanitise the dirty stables of Nigeria and install pure and blissful Islam.

Northerners who condemned Boko Haram were demonized as saboteurs. Many of them were attacked and even killed as enemies of Allah.

Then, Boko Haram began to attack mosques. They attacked markets and other public places and killed Muslims, Christians, animists, atheists, agnostics from different parts of Nigeria. They attacked schools and abducted schoolchildren.

A new phase then arose: the phase of denial. The former hailers of Boko Haram activated their propaganda machine. The new story was that the attacks were not perpetrated by Northerners or Muslims but by Dr Goodluck Jonathan (who was the President then) and Lieutenant General Azubuike Ihejirika (who was the Chief of Army Staff) – both of whom were Southerners and Christians. Even a former minister, now a state governor, made innuendos about Jonathan being behind the Boko Haram attacks. Stories of how some Boko Haram people were captured and found to be Christians from the South were shared by those in denial. But Boko Haram continued with the attacks unperturbed. Soon, the hailers and non-hailers found out that they could no longer return to their hometowns or visit certain parts of their regions.

Today in the South-East, the hailers of the violence perpetrated by the so-called unknown gunmen are in the second phase: denial. The reason is that Igbo civilians are being murdered. The hailers are busy crafting conspiracy theories of how those behind the attacks in the South-East are members of the Department of State Services (the intelligence agency), the ruling All Progressives Congress, Buhari’s agents, Fulani herdsmen, politicians, etc. The sweet thing about denial is that it exonerates us and blames someone else. But denial does not take the problem away.

People have been arguing back and forth whether the violence in the South-East is being perpetrated by IPOB, but many people don’t get the point that such an argument is useless now. It does not matter anymore who are behind the killings. What matters is that the South-East is burning and there is no sign that it will stop soon. Both the hailers and non-hailers are not safe anymore.

The seed of today’s violence was sown when the Nigerian security operatives responded to anything concerning IPOB with lethal force, leaving sorrow, tears and blood behind. That seed was then watered with IPOB leadership’s adoption of threats, orders, and acerbic language as the normal form of communication. Any person with a different view was tagged a saboteur, an efulefu (a worthless human being), an illegitimate scion of the Fulanis, or an otellectual (an intellectual who reasons from the anus), and demonised as an enemy of the “freedom of Biafra”. Nobody needs to even directly order a physical attack on those who have been so demonised. Overzealous members or sympathisers can take it upon themselves to do so and feel justified for carrying out such a noble duty for the sake of freedom! If you doubt this, please watch the film The Wave.

This was also replicated in 2011 by Buhari’s supporters when he lost the presidential election as well as in the United States on January 6, 2021 by Donald Trump’s supporters when he lost the election. Even though it has never been proved that Buhari and Trump directly ordered their supporters to engage in the attacks, their speeches and body language were perceived to have watered the ground for that. Conversely, when the dictatorship of General Sani Abacha accused the National Democratic Coalition of being behind the assassinations taking place while he was in power, most people did not believe it, because NADECO was not known to issue threats or use caustic language against its opponents.

A big example of this issue is the way IPOB repeatedly announced that it had suspended the Monday sit-at-home but some people continued to enforce the order. In every organisation, there are moderates and die-hards. Once the ground is watered with intolerance of dissent or opposition, if the moderates take a decision, the die-hards may choose to disobey it with the belief that they need radical actions to achieve the mission of the organisation faster.

With the police and the military decimated in the South-East by unknown gunmen, those with criminal tendencies can seize the opportunity and kill their enemies. After all, who is there to mark the register of who deserves to live or die?

Without pre-empting investigation into the brutal killing of Dr Chike Akunyili, widower of the late former minister of information, Prof Dora Akunyili, there are comments that suggest that he might not have been targeted for elimination. It is said that he became a target because he was in a convoy with military escorts. In a land where police and soldiers are killed and such is hailed, every person with escorts is seen as the enemy. Dr Akunyili was not a politician. He was not driving on a Monday to be accused of breaking the suspended but enforced sit-at-home order. His car or possessions were not stolen. His late wife is seen in the South-East as a heroine. He was in a traffic jam in Nkpor close to Onitsha in Anambra State. Then, he was spotted and shot.

Although brutally wounded, he lay in the pool of his blood on the road, moving his body and silently asking for help. Nobody had the courage or humanity to help him until he bled to death – a doctor who saved lives for over 40 years could not be helped when he needed medical help most. The fear of incurring the wrath of those who shot him was a factor. The fear of helpers being accused by the police of killing him was another factor. The assumption by onlookers that he must have been an enemy to warrant being shot was another factor. If he was killed because he had escorts and looked like one of the “enemies of the people,” it still goes back to the negative in applauding the violence perpetrated by unknown gunmen.

The South-East is bleeding. People are fleeing. Sadly, it still looks like morning. All hands must be on deck to get to the root of this violence and stop it. Whoever knows what should be done to stop it needs to do it. No society gains from violence. No society grows when there is insecurity.

Emma15678:

My dear brother, you have spoken my mind. The denial phase lets it grow for a long time. What can we do to end the denial and save more lives? My people are dying, what can we do? Are we veiled by Cownu? My God. I love your mindset. You are now my Ally on Nairaland.
Thanks.

You are welcome Oga Emma.

Btw,
We no be brother o,
We are simply WE.

Angelfrost:

Argue like a smart person...

I have nothing against fighting for freedom, and have never hidden my distaste for this contraption.

However, Kanu crossed the line the very day he started inciting bloodshed and violence against security forces! That's going too far sir!!!

There is absolutely nothing noble or new about Kanu's so called liberation call or quest! He is not the first freedom fighter in history and won't be the last!!! But he crossed the line! That fine line between freedom agitation and terrorism! He must suffer the consequences, and nothing will happen. Get that into your deluded skull.

If the courts get convinced by whatever arguments his lawyers bring forth, and set him loose, all well and good! But, quit this silly talk about him being innocent or witch-hunted. It makes you lots appear obtuse.

As for hatred for Igbos, no tribe in this nation is as hateful, suspicious, petulant, intolerant and unaccommodating as some of you finger pointers! Go have a word with yourselves!!! No need for hypocrisy this early morning.

Good and apt ready to him
Nothing to be added,
Nothing to be subtracted!

Everyone hates a terrorist,. terrorists are enemies of humanity, no sane democratic nation will support a terrorist.

Very Very Nice.
No peace for the wicked.

shantti:
Nice one. The way I hate these Igbos eh. I believe we can achieve Biafra through diplomatic means. So help us God

Cownu is only a scammer and a fraudster.
He's not fighting for biafra, that's just a front,
Some politicians in pains are the bastards paying the idiot to make the nation ungovernable.
Ralph Nwazurike and Ojukwu never went this far in their liberation.
Cownu will never die a good death, along with all his brainwashed swines supporting him.

Useless terrorists in uniform.

Now those brown teeth ewedu gulpers won't blame this terrorist act now, when the igbos start descending on this mutherfuckers terrorists, then you'll see endless wailing everywhere.

Your reply below..

emapeteum:

Abnormal self confidence.you better stop supporting evil done by your so called heroes

We only hope ani take to your brotherly advice.
We pray and hope what happened to Miracle Nwobodo, won't be his portion in the life.
We will never pray for even an enemy to experience what that young girl went through in the hands of cownu's cannibalistic animals/terrorists.

And Boko dey issue receipts and invoices in borno. Bandits dey issue and collect ransome for zamfara

When will Bello Turjis houses be set ablaze ?

That is war crime.

To gain your sanity you just need to leave this country and see how to be civil. Where people act normally.

I can't just imaging American or Canadian army setting properties ablaze or shooting straight into people's houses.

We call these BASEJE in Yoruba.
Most of these rascal men do not own a hut talkless of owning a house so they don't care.

Hahahaha! Illiterate interlopers! The federal govt sponsored terrorists in uniform at work! Burning houses in the East. Zoooooo

Ok....

When will they burn houses of bandits terrorizing the north?

Kudos to the nigeria army..kill them all..kill all the pigs including thier Kunu drunkard leader..
