IPOB Emerges 10th Deadliest Terror Group In The World - IEP / Nnamdi Kanu Replies Buhari On IPOB Being ‘Dot In Circle’ / I Laugh At Ipob.... (2) (3) (4)

The Foolishness Of Those Happy At IPOB Being Declared 10th Deadly Terror Group by gidgiddy: 6:05am On Mar 30, 2023
Three days ago, the Institute For Economics And Peace, IEP retracted from the index it published, listing the indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, as the 10th most deadly terrorist group. In its retraction, they even said that IPOB was peaceful. But what struck me was the happiness and joy some people exhibited when IPOB was listed as 10th deadly terror group. Some were saying that now, the international community will recognise IPOB as a terror group, cut off their funding, lock them up and deport them

I wondered if these people had any brains? On the same index were two other groups from Nigeria, ISWAP and Boko haram, ranked even more deadly, but their joy was at IPOB? Dont these people realise that the more Nigeria is being showcased as an insecure country, the more there will be capital flight?

International investors, expatriates, tech innovators, tourists and many others that you will need to build your country, are all running away because Nigeria is being portrayed as a terrorist prone country, and you are jumping up for joy?

Other countries are doing everything they can to showcase themselves as peaceful secure places, open for business, in other to attract the much needed investment, but you are jumping for joy at being known for hosting various terror groups? If it were you, would you want to invest or go to a country that has been announced to have several terror groups?

When Buhari came to power in 2015, there was only one designated terrorist group in Nigeria, Boko haram. Buhari has since increased that number to at least 4 by adding IPOB, IMN and Yan Bingida to the list. To show how incompetent Buhari is, he added IPOB and IMN to the list at a time both groups were neither armed nor killed anybody. His reason for doing so was that there were some 'violent clashes' with the authorities. If one or two violent clashes is the bases for a government to declare a group as terrorists,  there would be hundreds of terrorist groups being declared all over the world every week. Rather than use diplomacy and engagement, Buhari used military and the anti-terrorism law, not knowing he was showcasing Nigeria as a terrorist country while trying to attract foreign investors. How stupid? Declaring a group as terrorists is only in extreme situations, and only when other forms of engagement with the group have failed

Today, has all this declaration of various groups as terrorists helped in anyway to bring peace? Nigeria today now has far more insecurity than the day Buhari was sworn in. So what was the point of it all?

Declaring unarmed people as terrorist groups because you want to suppress their agitation, while creating long term irreparable damage to your economy by portraying your country as the 'land of terrorists' . The same Buhari has never once condemned herdsmen from his own tribe that are killing people in all 6 geopolitical zones of Nigeria

And some people are clapping and jumping up at this idiocy?

God help us

The government of Buhari has put in a lot of resources and propaganda to try and get the international community to recognise IPOB as terrorists:

Blaming them for any violent crime that happens in the East even before investigations start

Issuing press statements accusing the group of various crimes, without any backing evidence

Parading various dangerous implements alleged to have been recovered from ESN camps but never showing any picture of a single camp.


But assuming government finally wins, and the international community recognise IPOB  as a terrorist group, who loses?

Does anyone think the same international community will come to invest in the same Nigeria that you have put so much effort to tell them is a terrorised country?

Una no kill me with laughter

The most amazing thing is this OP doesn't live in SE. He can't live their because of fear of what's best known to him..

Ipob are now 10th most deadliest terrorist group on earth. By next year, with the way killings are going on in SE, they should be competing with the top 3..

And just so you know, pushing drugs from one country to another is a form of terrorist act. The way you bury drugs in the body is same with the way they bury explosives in the body. Infact, any drug pusher can carry explosives/Bombs/Guns.

They celebrated when IPOB was counted among terror groups, I think it's also right for them to cry now that they have been delisted.

Keep buring your head in the sand like an ostrich.

Deep inside, OP knows that IPOB/UGM/ESN and whatever name they are known by are a violent group that kills fellow Igbos while other Igbos cheer them on.

These are your fellow kinsmen cheering IPOB on after the killings on monday in Imo state.

So basically, you are saying that you are in support of IPOB who created an armed wing, created a state within another (treason) and went about enforcing it's own laws?

What more is terrorism?

What the Fulanis, Hausas and Yorubas don't understand is that the Igbos are head and shoulders above them.
It just took one Igbo group in America for the useless IEP to retract its gibberish

See bro, think outside the box. You really think declaring ipob 10th deadliest terrorist was a mistake? You really believe they didn't do it intentionally to pass their message? You think their message hasn't been passed? You think the retraction changes a thing?

Terrorist group is the last thing any country wants to hear at this moment... Why then made Ipob No 10 initially?

You should be more concerned that a fake democratic diplomacy is going on in the same county you are shouting yuniti.

A country 2 laws , where on earth will there be a Muslim police in a country that is not an Islamic nation?

Ban and sales of some products, hairstyles and all in same one yuniti.

When you hear these ethnoreligious bigots shout IPOB, make no mistake, they meant all Igbo people home and abroad. Including the ones born out of Nigeria. No exemption. You heard them use it during elections and they are expanding it to all children born by Igbo women to other ethnic groups and races.

Stop defending yourself when they call you IPOB. Own it and destroy their narrative. Nowhere can 50 million people be called or treated as terrorists.

If only you care to understand what customary laws are all about.

Each section of this country has the right and power to effect certain laws as they apply to it.

You should worry about the rampaging terrorists in your backyard, not the way someone CHOOSES TO LIVE AND CONDUCT HIS AFFAIRS, AFTER ALL, IT'S THEIR LAND, CULTURES, BELIEFS AND VALUES.
