Truth be told, Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB once filled an important vacuum. The political leadership of the southeast became so dismal and aloof to the aspirations of their people that another had to take on the charge of championing the Igbo cause.

Nonetheless, IPOB and its sponsors have put the southeast in a vicious dilemma. The programmes of the “freedom” they are pursuing are in and of themselves sharply opposed to the stated objectives.

They have persuaded this generation of Igbos to choose bondage cleverly presented as freedom.

To get us to the promised land, we are compelled to give up our rights. To escape from Fulani herdsmen, we must, without question, enter the prison of unknown gunmen. To break us free from systemic marginalisation, we must wholeheartedly submit ourselves to the reign of terror and mindless destruction.

To achieve singleness of thought, every dissenting voice must be silenced. To promote the “truth” we must not let it be questioned. To question their ”truth” is to become a saboteur. Becoming a “sabo” is a capital offence punishable by the prevailing mood of an always angry mob.

Given this preferred strategy, IPOB cannot thrive where citizens are capable of critical thinking. That is why they intentionally speak to, and in many instances exploit, the feelings and national aspirations of their audience.

They are seemingly breeding zombies whose only contribution to the actualisation of the imaginary land flowing with milk and honey is to lick the boots of confused but very eloquent tyrants.

For previously capturing the hearts of a people famed for their republican nature, IPOB must be given credit for their audacious social re-engineering experiment. The consequences are however intolerable.

No matter how difficult the position of the Igbo is in today's Nigeria, however dismal the political leadership of the southeast has become, advancement of the Igbo cause is not to be found in the alternative provided by IPOB and its unknown siblings.

If what IPOB has presented to the southeast is their very best, and I think it is, then the prospect is too pathetic to be endured.

Igbos urgently need to avail themselves of a new breed of thought leaders.

Nice write up

Good

Indeed IPOB really tried for IGBOS.

But the today's atmosphere has sang a new song

The tintinnabulation of the sound calls on new tactics!

What a foolish write up. This one is talking about critical thinking. You are in a Nigeria that has no national philosophy, no cohesion, no common value system, no unity, third most terrorised country on earth and poverty capital of the world, and you are talking about critical thinking?

Have enough critical thinking to realise that Igbos have no place in such a failed state

What a foolish write uo

Oga he has a point

Toh

Good, Ipob/ESN don't think like human being; they think upside down. It is better for you to remove your pics before Ipob puts you on their wanted list of saboteurs. They are mindless and can do any silly thing

Sergio104:

He actually insulted Igbos by saying they cant think for themselves

If the writer is Igbo man and not all this impostors (Yoruba)then what he wrote is more foolish than you said.


Sometimes I just dey check if other Nigerians are treating one Nigeria Igbos differently.
The Igbo politicians that believes in one Nigeria,how do other Nigerians see or treat/talk about them.

Chinelo an igbo lady and a medical doctor that believes in one Nigeria, serving one Nigerians in North,got killed by Northern bandits.

What Yorubas and hausafulanis one Nigerians did was celebrating her death, calling her Ipob and asking what is she doing
in train build by their buhari. One yoruba even told her she will die again and again.

Na Yoruba Muslim write that.

@ OP, your article portrays intelligence, wisdom and deep reasoning.

If you look at igbo youth, you will realise it is just recycle of present igbo leaders.
