Politics / All Igbos And Ipob's Agitators Should See This. by Deiok(m): 5:41pm On Sep 16, 2017 |
Aggrieved.
NO MATTER HOW AGGRIEVED WE
ARE, WE MUST TELL OURSELVES THE
TRUTH.
This is an intelligent piece of
writing from an anonymous Igbo. Read:
I, like many other Igbos have
stood on the side lines for far too
long, wishing this Biafran breeze
fizzles away, but it’s now
dangerously turning into a major storm that constitutes an
existential threat to Igbo
civilization as we know it. Those
of you IPOBians, Sympathizers,
Rumour Mongers, Facebook
Warriors, Facebook megastars, Opinion Leaders and
Propagandists escalating the
already tense situation must
understand that in the end, you'll
all be losers, victims and at the
same time in more bondage than you ever were. Not my wish
anyway, but the perceptible
reality. No war ever got won by
emotions. Preparation and
strategy does, ask any battle-
tested soldier. Even the best of them get eaten. Little by little you
guys are doing everything
possible to attract avoidable
conflict to our region hoping that
the international community will
intervene. You'll be in for a shocker when this meal you've
cooked for so long is served up.
Understand this, I have monitored
many revolutionary conflicts
around the world and know this
for a fact, the international community foot-drags at less than
a snail pace, if at all, before
attempting any interventions in
internal conflicts in a sovereign
nation and that includes America
and Israel you're hoping on. War is a huge liability and no Country
wants to meddle. The best they
give these days are reliefs not
military aids and that is after
many must have died including
those who started the fire. I watched it happen to Libyans,
Yemenis, Syrians and till now
they still don't have peace.
Besides, you’d be stupid to
believe that those countries, if
ever there is any, promising to support Nnamdi Kanu are really
in for it. Some of them want to
use him to initiate conflict and sell
their weapons to both sides and
make blood dollars. War is an all-
comers affair and all kinds of demonically vicious players come
to the slimy field to play the
hellish game of blood and death.
In this case, Boko Haram that has
largely been caged by the army
will break free to roam with ambitions to finally establish their
Caliphate across Nigeria, all
because the Army now fighting on
two fronts can no longer
concentrate on them having
become too stretched. Guess what, they’ll come with ISIS on
their back. Nigerian Army will be
fighting to keep Nigeria together
on one front, Boko Haram (ISIS
Nigerian Branch) with Caliphatist
ambition on the other and Biafra with secessionist ambition on yet
another front. That was how
Syria got so complex till date and
any war in Nigeria today will
have a similar picture. Whoever
gets overwhelmed will face the other. It will be a long and difficult
journey and unlike the first civil
war without Boko Haram in the
equation, no one can predict the
tortuous end. Other Jihadists from
across Africa and Middle-East will join in as they always do
wherever there’s instability to
advance their different brands of
Islam. In the end you’ll leave
Nigeria and discover you’re
fighting other strangers you don’t even know how they
came into the picture.
The big boys (international
players) like Iran will be there to
get there pound of flesh from
Nigeria in revenge for the Shiites, Saudi will be there to defend
Nigeria, and all will play.
Weapons merchants will the start
smiling to the banks. Guess where
the theatre of war would be,
Igboland. We must not allow this! Libyans thought they were
fighting Ghaddafi but after
Ghaddafi, they discovered other
strangers fighting them to
establish their different brands of
Islam. Same thing in Syria. The words of Saif Al Islam Ghaddafi
(Ghaddafi’s first son) keeps
ringing in my ears as he
forewarned Libyans of these grim
possibilities, but okuko nti ike
nánu ife n’ite ofe. I never took him seriously at the time but in
retrospect, I now see he knew
better because it panned out just
as he predicted and Libya still
isn’t out of the woods. That’s
the way it is these days of jihad consciousness across the world.
If you ever experience war,
you'll never take peace for
granted. War is not a movie as
some of you think. You could be
the first victim. Can you stomach watching your loved ones
maimed, killed, raped, tortured,
starve to death under slow and
painful circumstances? Those are
the grim realities of war and in
Africa, it is executed with luciferous savagery and
psychopathic sadism. The worst
of peace is still better than the
best of wars.
Funny enough, most of our chest-
beating IPOBians will likely die off within the first month or two of
the conflict leaving those who
knew nothing or are on the
sidelines to defend themselves.
There will be nowhere to run to
as no country in West Africa will agree to accept the ocean-sized
volume of refugees. When the
Rwandan genocide was looming,
everyone was running his mouth
until the death hurricane they
courted so hard swept across their country, they wailed and
shouted for international
community to intervene but none
came. That's the way it is. Paul
Kagame, their current President it
was who ended it. And they vowed to “never again”. They
learnt from history and have
completely removed tribalism
from every facet of national life
and are admirably making
astounding progress as one of Africa's best. My advice, agreed,
Buhari hasn't treated us as well
as we wanted, but wait till 2019
and make amends.
I have listened to Nnamdi Kanu on
several videos and my conclusion is that he is plain naive on how
things roll in a conflict situation.
On one occasion he bragged that it
would take him only two weeks
to reach Sokoto in the event of
war. I don't know what weapons and extra-terrestrial strategies
he has to execute that. War is an
unpredictable undertaking that
you'll be ignorant to estimate
which direction it goes. As it is, he
has no weapons just yet and is bragging. Many of you believe
him and even ascribe infallibility
to his words. I have lived a couple
of years abroad and what some
of you don't know is that many of
our people there egging you on don't have immigration papers
and are praying for an outbreak
of hostilities in Nigeria so they
can claim asylum on the back of it.
We must advise ourselves on this
current path of self-annihilation. Some of you think Biafra will be
the end of all your problems, so
South Sudan thought, as did
Eritrea, but sorry it will be the
beginning of new ones. Now take
this to the Bank, it will even be far more difficult for any country
to touch any conflict here with a
long spoon than it was in the
sixties. Reason? Then there was
the prospect of oil but today oil is
out of fashion and even as it is, Nigeria is begging for buyers and
nobody's buying. Osinbajo said
that much a few days back. Now,
tell me, if they spend their money
intervening in your conflict to
save your asses, what will they get in return? The best they can
do for you is to condemn what is
going on, then more out-pouring
of condemnations and then more
unleashing of floodgates of
condemnations, but NO ACTION while you die in numbers.
You often argue that a call for
referendum is not a call for war. I
agree completely! Very true!
Referendum is a right not a
privilege. Even Buhari asserted that much in favour of Palestine
when he addressed the UN.
However, it is plain naivety to
assume that all that is enshrined
in international law is
enforceable. UN has no mechanism of enforcement.
Countries and Dictators constantly
flout it and nothing happens. Even
if something were to happen
you’ll all have decomposed in
your graves by then. A show of bravado will not lead you
anywhere Umunnem. Call me a
coward if you like, but Chinua
Achebe told us that we often
stand in the house of a coward to
point at where a brave man ONCE lived. In any case, isn’t it
foolishness to challenge an army
that has been stockpiling arms
since 1960 when you on the other
hand haven’t bought a bullet
just yet? Papa Achebe puts it this way, “Only a foolish man can go
after a leopard with his bare
hands”. As impulsive and as
tempting as it may get, tone down
your rhetorics, invectives,
acerbics, and cursing on social media. Cherish the peace you now
have at least Igbos are not
worse-off than other regions
despite never being in power.
While there is grinding poverty in
other regions, the highest income per capita in the country is posted
by Anambra and other Igbo states
ain’t doing badly. Our people
live well, build better houses
compared to other regions and it's
all a miracle given the scratch we started from after the war. Why
do we want to throw all that
away because of ego and start all
over again? Is it a curse? The
Hausas though having been in
power do not even live a better quality of life than Igbos. Let's be
wise and not give opportunity to
destroy all we've achieved as a
people.
I condemn in the strongest of
terms the killing of unarmed people by Nigerian soldiers, killer
herdsmen, and do not by any
means say Nigeria is what we
want it to be but understand
Biafra wasn't Ojukwu's first
choice. At Aburi his choice was a return to true federalism which
he knew was a better deal for us
than secession. Nigeria failed to
honour that agreement and
continued the killings forcing him
to declare a Biafran Republic to save his people from slaughter
and it's understandable. Nigeria
owes us tons of apologies, I
agree. But brothers, let's think
again! A Biafra today will even be
far less economically viable than it would have been then. Reason
is because then we would have
used oil money to jump-start the
new country but today oil is so
unsellable to the extent that
Venezuela with arguably the largest reserves is grappling with
severe economic problems. Kick-
starting a new country from the
basics would be painfully slow
and may outlive our generation to
even get the basic things in place. Arewa youths know that, the
reason they have asked Nigerian
Government to let Igbos go, only
for Nnamdi Kanu to start asking
for Benue and Rivers because he
knows that Igboland alone isn’t viable. Asking for Benue is
laughable because they were
never part of Biafra and have
made it clear to all, as did
different Rivers groups that they
don’t want Biafra. A handful of his collaborators from those
regions pledging allegiance to him
does not equate to an entire
people. Majority of their people
hate this Biafran idea and have
made that much clear. Some funny IPOBians are also hoping on
Asari Dokubo and FFK. What a
funny bunch being used to fight
other people’s fight. Why
won’t they take up the gauntlet
or is it only us that is suffering injustice? Don't even think
corruption will suddenly
disappear in a new Biafra as
some naive IPOBians hope. If they
give you Biafra today, your eyes
will open up to new unpleasant realities many of you haven't
even factored-in in your agitation
but then it would have been late. I
know voices like mine are often
loathed and cursed by IPOBians
but some of us who know the truth can no longer keep quiet
while you drag us all into
avoidable chaos. I owe our people
the truth as I see it.
Curse me all you want, it's OK.
Umunnem, ka ako’n’uche na udo chianu biko! Patience solves
all things, with time. Let our
people think again and know
what is looming. Stop your
facebook and social media
vituperations, cursing, grand standing and join me to educate
others. De-escalate this situation
and speak words of kindness to
others. Even mighty America de-
escalates after tensions with
Russia. It’s called wisdom. North Korea provokes South
Korea most times but the South
always de-escalates tensions
knowing that the North hasn’t
got anything to lose in the event
of war but beautiful South Korea will lose quite a lot. In our case,
all the beautiful houses and
streets in Igboland will be razed
to the ground. Why should we be
starting afresh all the time? It will
even be more painful if we lose again as was the case in 1970. As
it is, it’s not looking good!
