Even though that I commend their efforts, They should have made the language a circular one by introducing other major ethnic languages like IBO and Hausa since Lagosians comprises different ethnicity.

Politics / Re: 'You Cannot Withdraw Your Surety Until You Produce Kanu' - Judge Tells Abaribe by gozie2000: 7:28pm On Oct 17, 2017
PLEASE READ THIS POST WITH FREE MIND AND THINK DEEP:
It was *Karl Marx* who said that history repeats itself, first as tragedy and second as farce.
*Edmund Burke said, 'Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.*
I am mystified that many prefer to sit quietly and watch the evolving Igbo self destruction like car crash in slow motion. No one starts a war before he assembles an army. We did it first as an understandable tragedy and we seem bent on repeating it as a calculated farce. We are playing politics of secession unprepared with people, who have prepared for it for more than 50 years. We have chosen to do it at a time, Nigerian soldiers are trained in Hausa language and a large population of northerners are armed. What the north would have found difficult to do, Biafra agitation has provided the justification. By choosing to agitate for Biafra instead of injustices and marginalisation suffered in Nigeria, some of us have sadly removed the focus from injustice to secession. Never mind that injustice is the reason for secession. We want to benefit from the audacity of a rabble rouser, who fights with his tongue in war that requires wits and stratagem. I would like to once more say that ethnic politics in a multiethnic nation is almost always bad politics. It pitches one group against another
and it is often a zero sum game. It often fails because the focus is on the ethnic group uniting on a particular position, instead of on interrogation of the position to ascertain its soundness. People are told to agree with the position of the group to demonstrate unity and often they are compelled to sail on a ship they know has holes in its hull. Those who dissent are not seen as patriots, who want the people to get it right, but as saboteurs who do like the 'supreme' leaders.
To confront the Nigerian state without a coherent narrative, strategy and tactics, at a time the
north is in control of security and political power is naivety that borders on recklessness and impunity. Inflammatory words and utterances, irresponsible statements and ill thought out plans
are not evidence of well thought strategy and tactics. To talk of Biafran Army, without idea of how it will be equipped and soldiers paid, is to say the least mindless and suicidal. All these are suggestive of magical thinking, delusion of grandeur and overvalued ideas. These may appeal to a population which is limited by beliefs, faith and traditions, but will be irresponsibility to men of reason and objective minds. People who support such spontaneous uprising have no real understanding of what a good society means and how to achieve it beyond what they think or believe God says in his 'Holy Bible" Events so far points to the building of a personality cult and a society, where individuals are more important than their ideas. This is very dangerous and retrogressive. Yes, IPOB has resurrected the spirit of Biafra, but to whose benefit and to what end? What will be the price, and who will pay it? The Tamils Tigers were very much more prepared, organised and strategic, than IPOB, yet they lost because they failed to interrogate their plan to determine its sustainability and ability to withstand whatever their opponents would throw at them. They failed to build bridges, and reach out to potential allies and friends. They did not know when to stop agitating?
So far, the utterances of Nnamdi Kanu and activities of IPOB are harming Igbo and South East unity. They are destroying Igbo businesses. They are damaging the careers of Igbos in the Army, Police, and Customs. They are threatening our relationship with other ethnic groups in Nigeria.
*It represents the ugly face of ethnic nationalism.*
They are destroying trust, creating instability, burning bridges, widening differences, reviving ethnic prejudices and enthroning autocracy and the rule of the mob. We are hearing of supreme leader and God speaking to men in attempt to exploit the ignorance of the people through mysticism.
The only person who has benefited so far and, who stands to benefit, if this charade continues is Nnamdi Kanu. Many continue to languish in prison and many resting in untimely graves. Not a
single road has been built. Not a single classroom has been refurbished. Not a single corrupt politician has been replaced or voted out of office. Not a single hospital has been built. Not a single job has been created. What we have witnessed is the evolution of a primitive society, autocracy and primitive personality cult. *Our elders are watching while a tethered goat gives birth*.
Who will tell Emperor Nnamdi Kanu that he is naked, without being accused of hating him and or being against Biafra?
*The stage is set for avoidable mistake and tomorrow, people will say, he had no choice.*
