[s]As reactions continue to greet the deployment of military forces under the name, Operation Python Dance 11 (Egwu Eke Ebo) to south-eastern part of Nigeria, youths from the south-south region of the country have called for the immediate proscription of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB before it gets too late.

IPOB is a group under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu agitating for the rebirth of the defunct Republic of Biafra.


The group, under the aegis of Youths of Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Rivers, while welcoming the launch of the military operation in the region, observed that if Kanu and his group are not urgently tamed, Nigeria might be witnessing another heavy bloodbath.

Speaking at a press conference held in Calabar, the Cross River State Capital on Friday, the National Co-coordinator of the ebullient youth group, Augustine Adeh said the recent attacks on innocent Nigerians in Rivers State by hoodlums identified as IPOB members was a clear indication that a military operation is needed to contain extreme tendencies set in motion by IPOB’s campaign of hatred which is spreading to some states in the South-south.

According to the youth leader, the group strongly warned Kanu to be ready to face the consequences if his group continues to prevent soldiers from carrying out their legitimate functions in the region.

Adeh said, “To us this launch of the operation is not unconnected with the success recorded by Operation Python Dance of 2016, which was widely credited for reducing crimes in the region before the Christmas festivities of that year.


“It is for this reason that those of us in Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Rivers remain elated at the launch of Operation Python Dance II. The operation is well received in our states and it is not for nothing that it is so.

“We are therefore concerned that Operation Python Dance II is at the risk of becoming the casualty of politics and criminality in the South-east . While the operation is well received in Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Rivers but being rejected only in some selected states of the south east, whose people’s interest it is meant to serve.

“It is most disappointing that all the wrong reasons are being adduced for maligning this operation. These include allegations that the soldiers were deployed because of the secession bid of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Movement for the Actualization of a Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Biafra Zionists Movement and other groups that are campaigning for the balkanization of Nigeria. There have also been the false claim that the military exercise is an invasion.

“The attacks on innocent Nigerians in Rivers state by hoodlums that identified as IPOB members is proof that a military operation is needed to contain extreme tendencies set in motion by IPOB’s campaign of hatred. The attacks justify our call for IPOB’s criminality to be dealt with at its birthplace before it spread to other parts of the country same way that Boko Haram terrorism did.


The youth group also lauded the Nigerian Army for its timely intervention towards tackling kidnapping, armed robbery and other criminal activities in the region.

Adeh added, “We are concerned that the Igbos, particularly those under the influence of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu’s hazy state of mind must have something up their sleeves to attract the vehement rejection of the military exercise to the extent of using it to incite nationwide crisis.

“While we had anticipated that criminals would kick against the operation, we did not envisage that they will attempt to stand truth on its head by purveying fake news. Of particular note is Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, who goofed by describing his client and IPOB as “innocent, unarmed and defenceless”. Such assertion is blasphemous to say the least. Such falsehood could only have been peddled by someone addicted to twisting facts for a living. Ejiofor manufactures lies and hate and churns them out at pace meant to unsettle the general public,” he added.

He appealed to the Nigerian Army not to be swayed by the campaign of calumny and blackmail against its operation.

“We similarly appeal to Nigerians in other states to please understand the severity of the issue under consideration. The IPOB fanatics are courting public sympathy, including staging attacks to provoke soldiers on their mission and it is a trick that well-meaning Nigerians must not fall for. In fact, we expect that anyone apprehended in connection with attacks on soldiers should be matched with existing Police crime database as they would be proven to be the same people behind the spate of kidnapping, armed robberies and drug dealing in the region.

"We call on the police to immediately arrest and prosecute Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, for conspiracy to breach the peace through the misrepresentation of fact. The police should also heighten its state of alertness in other states of the federation to arrest any person or[/s]

Let me address this once and for all.
Those people asking "where is Nnamdi kanu's family?" That they should join the fight..that igbos should be wise..bla bla bla.

Do you think that if Nnamdi Kanu were to be your father that he will bring you home to join him in the agitation?..

Why not ask yourself "all those your clueless Governors, where are there families?,do you think they are in Nigeria,Do you think that there children is at home with you waiting for Assu to call off the strike ?..

Someone is risking his life for a good course,and all you care about is whether his family is involved or not, I bet if he involve his family in the agitation, you will still look for another silly excuse to crucify him..

Ojukwu that fought for Biafra before now,did u hear that any of his family members were involved in anyway??..

Jesus Christ that you go to church to worship every Sunday, is there any place in the Bible that you saw that any of his family members were involved in his ministry?..

I don't blame you, I blame cheap data,..

your father, do you know how many times he has gotten into fights/arguments in his area of business or even kinsmen meetings,how many times has he asked you to join him in the fight?..

When George Bush of America was fighting Iran and Iraq,did u hear that it was any of his family members that led the war?..

How many political agitators have you heard that their children were involved at the course of his agitation?..

Nelson Mandela of South Africa had children, none of his kids were at the forefront with him,Winnie his first wife only made moves when he was in prison cos of the kind of person she was..

I'm not a fanatic of Nnamdi Kanu,But he is the most relevant political agitator as far as Africa is concern,he is an enigma..
He did never come to anybody's house to ask for followers, he endeared himself to people's hearts, what your fathers,Governors,leaders, senators cannot do..

You say he doesn't speak for you, but the whole world including you wants to know what he's saying.

If you don't understand what he's doing, the best you could do is watch and not spew trash (that doesn't count)..

"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it"

[s]Suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have been accused of invading a Yoruba mosque in Abia state and destroying everything in it.

The development was made public by a Facebook user, Yuslah Faruk.

In the post, a video was uploaded showing the level of destruction inflicted on the property. In the video, a man could be heard lamenting, as he accused the miscreants of also defecating in the place of worship and stealing various items including fans, meter, and even protectors.

Various piles of paper were seen splashed about the place as the narrator stated that the criminals had also destroyed the certificates of students who worshipped in the mosque.

IPOB members allegedly destroy mosque in Abia

If Hausas kill Igbos in the North,yorubas will start shouting that Igbos dont respect their host that they deserve to die,if Igbo kill hausa in the east Yorubas will start lamenting that Hausas in the North should retaliate in the north and kill Igbos back and when they do that then that Igbos should not shout genocide because they started it first,God is not man, he watches all of us, Igbos are not wanted in Nigeria, they should be allowed to have their own country

[s]In the past once there is rumour of attack on a northerner in the south,or someone makes a derogatory comment that is passived as inflammatory or derogating to Islam or even in some extreme case when isreal is said to be attacking one of the Arab countries then their is great tension in the north as sometimes it results to killing of innocent individual,destroying of businesses and burning down of worship places.
However,even with the reported case on line that ipob or some miscreant are searching for hausas,a counter report in the north to remain calm by one or two groups is highly commendable. If the north where acting like this is the past,a lot of things would have been better off in this country and a lot of innocent blood shedding would have been averted .

I must confess that I have never seen the north acting with such maturity.This act is capable of fostering the unity of our great nation[/s].

Is that how u guys are going to be ruled?
Face the truth man! Army dey everywhere for Aba & no bss bold cough?
Never knew they were this scared[/s]?

[s]For the past few days i have been seeing some videos on this forum reporting how Nigerian army has been dealing with people in the south eastern part of Nigeria. I thought this would be an opportunity for Biafra secret service to showcase the training they acquired?
Because i know if it were to be Ojukwu the story would have been different....But unfortunately the reverse is the case...

My question is where is BSS when u need them most?

Were they trained to swim in the mud? Because i have seen couple of guys swimming in the mud...Or they were trained to attack hausas & how to hide whenever soldiers are around?

This is quite disappointing, the least they should do is to come & protect their women & kids. It will be very unfair on the part of Kanu & BSS to expose these innocent women & children to the ills of pre-war without any form of protection from them.

[s]according to KANU himself, he was offered biafra consisting of the five south east States. why didn't he accept that first and fight for the remaining parts as a sovereign state?

I think he could have avoided all these brouhaha.[/s]

Registering his displeasure over the unfortunate incident, he stated: “It is unfair, this is too much. Yorubas are not interested in anything about Biafra or whatever.

“These people are wicked and callous, they destroyed everywhere, took their money.”

He further stated: “I believe that God will judge them”.
