Is it not IPOB that goes around threatening Igbos not to vote, not to work, etc? They are causing destabilisation of the polity. Why did they not do that when Jonathan was in power? Their hypocrisy stinks. If they were a genuine movement, they would agitate for Biafra regardless of who is in power. Not only when a Hausa man gets to power then you say you want Biafra.

The agitation for Biafra was there since the days of MASSOB in 1999. Then Kanu was a member of MASSOB until he parted ways with them and started IPOB. Kanu and Radio Biafra have been on since 2013 when GEJ was there. But GEJ chose to ignore them. Buhari chose to be confront them and the rest is history. The agitation was always there.

Ayokunlemi96:
Sir, if only you people decide to learn from history. When Nelson Mandela decided to use a military wing in the ANC in the fight against apartheid, what did it earn him? I'll tell you, 27years in jail. When he came out and decided to be logical and patient about it what did they get? A black president.

Adolf Hitler's hate speech against the jews cost the jews over 6million lives the same tactic Nmandi Kanu employ in his agitation for Biafra only funny and sorry he is not on the upper hand in this, the people dying are his people.

History is always around to guide. War wont give you anything but resentment (left over of the Nigerian Civil War). If only Ojukwu had known too.

I dont think you remember we are in a democracy. The 2 examples you gave were not democratic rule. As for talking about Ojukwu, that Era has passed 50 years ago.

What we are saying is referendum, only you Nigerians keep mentioning war. Referendum is not war

So basically, what it means is the operation Python dance was illegal since the two reasons the reasons the President could have used to deploy troops to the SE did not exist


President Buhari ordered an illegal military exercise

dannytoe:
lugard was never a nigerian, neither did he deceive his fellow british people, but ur clown kanu has not only deceived and brainwashed u people for free, but has also succeded in wasting the lives of his fellow igbos why his family are far away in london........so think well before making senseless comment.

Ahhhh let me see. Lugard a British man came to West Africa to name you and your fore-fathers after a common River. He then let you all know that you are 'Nigerians'

So a white man came all the way from Europe to West Africa to tell you that you are a Nigerian, and you still believe it till today. But you think an indigenous born Igbo man like Kanu should not tell his people that they are Biafrans?

Really? You a 'Nigerian' that is a mere British product?

Listen, we are Igbos. We are not Nigerians like you who need the white man to come and tell you what your country is.

We already know what our country is.

dannytoe:
Nnamdi Kanu scaming his fellow igbo's since 1876, imagine feeding Ipob with delusional promises including promsing a fake country.................only clownish poeple celebrating the Annivastary of joblessness will fall for Nnamdi Kanu cheap trick.....................

What about Lugard that promised and gave you a fake country that has never worked?

Let us all remember that before Kanu, Igbos were butchared in the North in the following way

History

1945 Jos Riots:- Hundreds of Igbos killed

1953 Kano massacre:- Hundreds of Igbo massacred

July 1966:- Over 300 Igbo officers of the Nigerian Army murdered

1966:- Over 50,000 Igbos, men, women and children massacred all over the North

1967-70:- Over 3 million souls lost in the civil war in the name of 'one Nigeria'

Other situations where Igbos have been killed are:


Kano 1980
Maiduguri 1982
Jimeta 1984
Gombe 1985
Zaria 1987
Kaduna & Kafanchan 1991
Bauchi & Katsina 1991

Igbos are an endangered people in the North, Kanu or no Kanu

Throwback:
I will rather send the videos of Kanu commanding his supporters under oath to burn down the country.

Unfortunately for you, the law only recognises crimes that have been commited, not the ones that are yet to hapen

PrinceMario:
[s][/s]

God Bless Nigeria

God does not bless symbols of oppression such as Nigeria

All I know is that we Igbos must be free of this disasterous 1914 colonial arrangement called Nigeria

slowice:
I still wonder how same people can still support a democratic government that does this to its own people. How do one even justify this evil.

Those sort of people are called Nigerians

We Igbos actually fought a war so that we wont be with them as we knew that any future with them would be disasterous. Unfortunately, we were not lucky.

He said: “I have always said that IPOB is an agitation group, but the captioning is bad when you talk of sovereignty within a sovereign nation and also talking of secession.

Scotland talked about sovereignty within the sovereign nation of Britain

Because Britain is civilised, it was settled with referendum


IPOB talks about sovereignty within the sovereign nation of Nigeria

Because Nigerians ,like Okoroawusa, are barbarians, it must be settled with war.

What kind of Mosque will be built this way?

There is only one set of people who carry arrows in Nigeria.

kettykin:
My Brother , this is exactly why i appealed to IPOB to mellow down and stop further confrontations so that the casualty levels can come down , whoever brought a military operation to Abia state is either a thorough bred genocider and an inept , incompetent military strategist .

My thoughts though is that since the quit notice failed , the next option for the Hausa Fulani was to use the Army on hapless citizens in the east ,this would surely backfire with time , but let us reduce casualties first

Abia state was peaceful

Obigbo was peaceful

Igbo land was peaceful

All of a sudden, that incompetent gworo chewing idiot from Daura decided to bring Pythons to dance in the East and it has been mayhem since then.

How do you know that this is Dangotes Truck?

kettykin:
i write to all ipob members to quit the opposition to Operation Python Dance for the sake of the innocent youths, the women and the elderly .

Enough of the blood shed and disruption to public peace and business transactions . Igbos 50 years ago were reduced to ground zero from which we rose to defeat and beat handsdown those who were supported by Soviet Union, Britain, Egypt , Sudan and Chad . Igbos have the from ash heap of 20 pounds policy and other scorched earth policies to producing some of the best programmers in the IT world like Emeagwali and chinedu Echeruo, some of the best footballers in the world like Kanu Nwankwo and JJ okocha , some of the best world economist like Kalu Idika Kalu and Ngozi Iweala.

Igbos have trounced everyother black race in the academic field by producing best results in WAEC for many years consecutively , the Best UME Results, Best federal common Entrance exams and the best in foreign university academic exams.

The question is why would we after beating the world be beaten by illiterates in our home front , as i write this i have just watched an online video of how people were slain in the streets of Aba and how the shops and businesses of banks , pharmacies, hospitals, eateries , etc are loosing billions of Naira because of insecurity triggered by the resistance to operation python dance.

Biko Umunna let us be smarter than our haters, i have often told people that for the fact that Nigeria is not military power there is no need going into battle with them otherwise the innocent will pay a huge price.

As soon as the quit Notice backfired i knew the next option would be to send the military to the East in a needless poor military policy .

The best we can do for the elderly , women and children is to forego any confrontation with the military ,

It is easy to write the above until you learn that your brother or loved one was gunned down for wearing a Biafra cap. Trust me, you wont be as understanding as you are right now


I support the stopping of hostilities as it will not be in anyones long term interests, however, the truth must be told.

profolaolu:
U are suffering from kanuism U mean someone can be searching for his enemy vigorously with aggression to feed or hug him, U have been consume by hate and delusion

What I mean is that whatever reason you think they are looking for Hausas will never be known since they didnt find any Hausa. Saying that they were looking for hausas to kill is only speculation. It could be that that they were looking for Hausas to beat up rather than kill, we dont know. So jumping to the conclusion that it was about killing Hausas is neither here nor there.


To the best of my knowledge, no Hausa has ever been killed in Igbo land till date despite the fact that thousands of Igbos have been killed in Hausa land since 1945.

Trailii:
dindinrin ... evidence to whom ? to iccj? abi to British /America control un? ibos are poor with resoning.. Nigeria is a British /America project , and British will do everything to make Nigeria one so as to protect their interest ... the same Britain and America has a veto power in the un, they determine what will be done by un.... when last have u seen the iccj function ? they are as powerless as anything so far the America and British interest is involved .. haven't you wonder y the icc and un did not do anything after the civil war ? haven't you wonder why the the un is so silent on what is happening currently in the country ? haven't you wonder y BBC , CNN , fox and NY Times have not carry any news nor say anything about current happenings ... continue to decide urself

The evidence is for the world to realise that the Igbos are justified to leave the British colonial fraud called Nigeria and finally get their own country which they have wanted for the last 50 years.

I commend the world respected Amnesty International for exposing the Nigerian Army as a group of thugs in military uniforms when they reported that the Nigerian Army had killed over 150 unarmed Biafran agitators. The credibility of Nigeria erodes with each evidence

shukuokukobambi:
Hope you'll include the video where you were looking for hausa in buses to kill? Hope you'll include the pics of the dangote cement truck you burnt? Hope you'll include pics of the ariaria police station you burnt?

Looking for hausas to kill? What you should be concerned about is if any Hausa was actually killed. I have not heard about any Hausa being killed but I have heard about all the Igbos that have been killed in Hausa land since 1945 to date.

The trucks and police station burnt was as a result of your incompetent president invading a peaceful area with Military thugs

Whenever you take fuel to fire, there will always be an explosion

Igbo is a tribe, Delta and River are not tribes but states.

Remarkably, Igbos are indigenous to both Rivers and Delta.

You should have tried to take pictures after the Soldiers left, the blood on the ground would have been proof.

We need to keep gathering evidence of the genocide against our people to expose the Nigerian Army as the terrorist organisation it is.

But do not endanger your self while gathering evidence

The SE was one of the most peaceful places in Nigeria until that incompetent bigot called Buhari decided to unleash the Nigerian Army on them. Now the python is dancing and there is no peace

SaIamRushdie:
This woman is saying nothing but the truth.

Really? So hee truth is that IPOB intimidated the Igbo nation in their millions to be wearing Biafra colours even those who live in Europe, China, America and so on?

IPOB terrified the Igbos into submission including Ohaneze?

Please can Laurwtta Onochie tell us how an unarmed IPOB that is unarmed managed to achieve tbis incredible feat?

What do you expect from a woman who claims her ethnic group is "Anioma" when no such ethnic group exists

IkpuMmiri:
From Nairaland, Facebook To Instagram And From The Calls, I Have Been Receiving Back, One Can Only deduce one outcome-My people Ndigbo, who had been living under fears and terror kanu and his gang of miscreants had been dishing out to them, are beginning to heave a sign of relief , following deployment of military men to the South East..

Many of them are now coming out to condemn kanu and even begging Federal govt. to rearrest Kanu! How Time Changes....

[/b]Apart From [b]South East PDP Senators, South East PDP Rep, Ohaneze Ndi Ipob, who are all beneficiary of Kanu's madness, as they see an opportunity to destabilize the government of Buhari for daring to take out food from their mouth!

As For, You have embarked on a journey of no Return!

Did the same people also condemn the invasion of the NUJ centre in Umuahia where several Journalists were beaten and equipment and furniture destroyed?

Did the same people condemn the videos that have gone viral of the Nigerian Army beating Biafran agitators, making them swim in dirty water and killing some of them?

Did the same people ask why there was need for 'show of force' in a state like Abia that was peaceful, but with opration Python dance, peace has disappeared?

How many of these people condemned exrer-judicial killings of unarmed people by the Military?

profolaolu:
https://www.nairaland.com/4052957/ipob-members-searching-buses-hausas

I have seen this video, but Im yet to see any evidence of attack. Searching for someone is not the same as having attacked the person. Where is one single evidence that a Northerner was attacked by IPOB?

maj007:
The ignorance of some of IPOB sympathizers like this one is unbelievable.

- An individual has publicly threatened to "Tear a Nigeria (a sovereign state) apart".
- He has gone ahead to form a quasi - military outfit with their own uniform and openly performed a military inspection of same.
- He was once caught on tape soliciting for arms and munitions abroad to unleash mayhem on the country.
- He regularly convey public gathering giving hate speeches. The intended effect of the regular gathering is what we just saw with the bus search.

Yet people still blame the govt's efforts at restoring order. People are ignoring the fact that govt officials are privy to a lot of intelligence information that will never be known to us. Over the past few months, Custom Authority have intercepted sophisticated weapons (brand new) being smuggled into the country in bulk. These are signs that unrest is building up.

Personally, I believe the govt is spot on with the military mobilization. Police cannot be deployed to counter a group with a quasi-military formations and with likely mass of armory.

Agitation for self determination is not a new thing all over the world. But KANU's quest is definately not an agitation for self determination. The source, the method and the modus operandi are all wrong. SE has reps in the National Assembly; that should be the right source. Not one miscreant who has no constitutionally recognised mandate of the people. Hate speeches and curses are surely not the methods that have brought Catalonia the recent progress in their quest.

Kanu is being used by some politicians who want to negotiate for a core Ibo presidency by 2019 or 2023 and also achieve special allocation of resources for SE under the guise of SE Development commission. They want to achieve this by spilling the blood of the innocent youth.

I can only hope people will reason deeply that peace and unity are what we really need in this country.

Listen. Nnamdi Kanu has the right of free speech. If he says that he will tear Nigeria apart, that is for the Police to investigate and charge him to court if has broken the law.

If he solicits weapons to fight Nigeria, it is for the authorities to investigate and charge him

If the authorities feel that Kanu is inciting and giving hate speech, they should charged him as appropriate

The quassi-military you are talking about is no different from what we did in my boyscout days when we wore berets and saluted each other. Or are you saying it is now against Nigerian law to wear berets and salute each other? Of course it isnt.

All of these things are police matters and do not concern the Military. The Nigerian Army is not a crime fighting unit.

To bring in the Nigerian Army into a situation they are not required was a terrorist act because before the Army came to Aba there was peace. Now there is no peace.

Kanu and IPOB have a right to agitate for Biafra or whatever they like under chapter 4 of the Nigerian constitution. Its not a must that everybody must like Kanu or his methods but what has he done that will warrant the heavyhanded deployment of troops to get him down?

Did the Government do such things with Boko Haram, Herdsmen and others who are killing people?

Opration Python dance was an act of terrorism by Buhari against Ndigbo

Ndi bayii ke ije?

What's d meaning of all these incessant foolishness, stupidity and dumbness that have come all over us?

Was this why u were crying us to return from the north and wherever back to SE?

Ask yourselves now, how safe is south East?

You attacked innocent Hausas on the roads and street forgetting that we have our people all over the country.
I wonder how you think, reason, perceive things.

Is this how you will run biafra if given to you?

Reasonable and wise igbos, let's not allow the foolish, dumb, blind and stupid ones, decide our fate.

What nonsense.

Igbos remember there is no unity amongst us and with that alone, u can't fight nothing.

Let's be wise and do things the right way.

Surprise me by not placing curse and insult on this post.

I want people like you who say that Hausas were attacked to provide proof that this happend

I have often said that it is Nigeria that brings violence into a Biafran agitation that has largely been peaceful? Im not saying searching for Hausas on a bus is the best but why is it happening now?

The SE that was a peaceful place, Buhari brought in operation Python dance to raid Kanu and all hell has broken loose since then. God knows how many people have died and those extrer-judicially murdered by the Nigerian Army.

Buhari is just a disaster. Why bring the military into a peaceful zone where they are not required?

I would rather hear all the hate speech in the world than waste human life unnecessarily

Udmaster:
Thank you buhari for bringing the military for operation python dance in south east,
lets put an end to this stupidity by ipob led by that UNN dropout called Nnamdi Kanu,
a restructured Nigeria is the best for Igbos,

Isnt it for Igbos to decide what is best for them? That is why IPOB is calling for a referendum. This restructuring you are talking about, Ojukwu went to Aburi 50 years ago to get it so that there would be no war. The North said no. 50 years later people are still talking about restructuring. Everybody knows that the North will never allow any country they are part of to be restructured. So my question to you is what will you do when the North says no again restructuring? Of course you will go back to shouting ONE NIGERIA.

this senseless agitation for Biafra will attract war and Igbos have no support to face such a thing now,
even the Niger deltans will deny us and start singing ONE NIGERIA when the war start,
they are not in support of any Biafra, stop hoping in False sense of solidarity!

Self determination is a recognised right of which Nigeria is a signatory to both its UN charter and African charter. It is not senseless to the UN or the developed world. If it means war to you, it does not mean war to others. Chapter 4 of the Nigerian constitution allows Kanu and IPOB to agitate about anything, be it Biafra or otherwise. So far, IPOB its self has largely been peaceful and only calls for referendum. This talk of war only comes from Nigerians and I will never know why.

ipob is sponsored by pdp to disrupt buhari administration,
Igbos wake up! War is looming
Why will Igbos who are found in every corner of the nation choose breaking away to restructuring?
Now there are crisis here and there, if the north retaliate, do you know how many Igbos that will be killed ?
Why cant Ipob reason with their brain?

If IPOB was sponsored by PDP, why would they be insisting on election boycott in the SE/SS area where PDP is the majority party? Think about it. You are calling for IPOB to use their brain, try to use your own for 5 minutes. When I first started to listen to Radio Biafra, Buhari was not even President and there was no APC. You can keep shouting war like the national anthem but the only people armed and violent in this Biafran agitation is Nigeria. Scottish people are found all over Britain, it didnt stop them agitating to be separate from Britain. That Igbos are all over Nigeria does not take away the Igbo nations right to be independent.

Thank you Buhari for the operation python dance,
please the court should hurry up and give an arrest order on kanu so that the evil pdp agent Kanu will be arrested?
What about our investments all over nigeria, it will be seized all over,and Igbos will start from scratch to built again,
why making things difficult for ourselves?
seccesion is war because this is Africa,
and who are you secceeding with?
Remember the ijaws,ogonis,urhobos,itsekiris,ibibios,efiks etc have warned you guys to count them out of biafra map,
go and start war and watch them dancing ONE NIGERIA
Abum nwa afo Igbo,
a restructure Nigeria, o ga akara anyi nm,ka ria ndufu kanu ne edufu nyi
ndewo nu

People like you are the reason Nigeria and Africa can never progress. You see how developed countries do things, instead of emulating them, you do the opposite. Why should secession mean war in Africa? Did Zik and others have to fight a war with Britain before Nigeria got its independence? Why cant you question why Britain can grant Scotland referendum but Africa is still using war where they should use referendum? Why is it that we never see the Army of other countries unless there is war but your Nigerian Army is out extorting money everywhere and commiting human rights abuses? How can you equate properties and investment to freedom? Dont you know that international law protects investments wherever they might be? This cave man reasoning is terrible. If other tribes are not interested in independence, all well and good, let them continue with Nigeria. What is most important for me as an Igbo man is that the Igbo nation becomes independent and manages its self. There is nothing greater than freedom, it is greater than Gold or money, even life.

So keep congratulating Buhari for using brute military force on unarmed defenceless people but know this, Nigeria is on the wrong track heading nowhere

PDPGuy:
Regardless of the security situation in the state, what the army is doing - the so called Egwu eke - is unconstitutional.

The police hasn't declared that the situation is beyond their control, neither has IPOB launched an armed insurrection against the Nigerian State. So, I see no need for a shoki or python dance by the army.

We just pray that normalcy will return to the great state of Abia.

Python dance is just Buhari's way of intimidating Igbos. But no worries, one day he will learn that nobody can be intimidated into accepting ONE NIGERIA
