Amumaigwe: Kerp shifting the goal post. You heard Inwerre, Ibibio, Gokans leaders dpeak in their local doalect after introducing themselves and their domains. O ga eme gi vum n'anya.
That guy wouldnt know when the Ikwerre King spoke, can he tell the difference between the Ikwerre dialect and the Wawa dilect? Only someone who belongs to the Igbo nation can tell the difference
Orji Uzo Kalu is busy talking about Nnamdi Kanu and Biafra, and unarmed man who is leading a non violent movement for self determination
Orji Uzo Kalu should be asking about who is going to negotiate with Boko haram, ISWAP and killer herdsmen who are all armed and killing people across the country
His worry should not be Nnamdi Kanu and Biafra, there are people who far far worse out there
TheDestroyer: That's how these nyamuris go about looking for trouble, when they start killing them now they'll be crying genocide upandan. They never think before they act. Foolish people
And the Fulani herdsmen that are killing people everywhere are peacemakers looking to build a loving nation(for their cows)
Charmingrascal: They should rather tell Security Operatives not to shoot unarmed Igbo youths. They should understand that IPOB is a proscribed group hence telling DSS not to shoot IPOB is like telling DSS not to shoot a proscribed group which Govt has declared a threat to National security.
They should remove the IPOB tag in their protest and just say unarmed Igbo youths. As long as IPOB remains proscribed they will always clash with security operatives.
Proscription does not mean denying a person their right to life, only a barbarian will support the shooting of unarmed people who do not pose any clear and present danger. Even in war, the international law of the Geneva convention makes it a war crime for a Soldier to kill an unarmed enemy Soldier.
The proscription of IPOB was laughable because it was the first time in history that an unarmed group can were declared terrorists. What were they terrorising people with? Their flag?
The authorities say IPOB are armed, yet nobody has ever seen IPOB with arms except the authorities
The authorities say IPOB is a terrorist group, yet nobody in the East is terrified of IPOB except the authorities
The authorities say IPOB are violent, yet the only violence attributed to IPOB always starts with the authorities being present.
A time comes when you have to ask, 'Is IPOB the problem or the authorities?'
1. Innocent, unarmed Northerners were attacked in the East and killed by armed Eastern youths.
2. The only reason that they offered to vindicate IPOB isn't that the killers were not IPOB members or that the Eastern killings didn't happen as initially reported, but that IPOB has been proscribed.
3. However we all know IPOB have been active and holding meetings in the East, one of which degenerated into a deadly clash wherein DSS officers and some IPOB members were killed. In the aftermath of the killings, many Easterners rejected the proscription and asserted the "right" of IPOB members to gather despite their proscription, which makes this vindication on the basis of their proscription very questionable.
With this re-emphasis on their proscribed status, it is therefore expected that all security forces do everything possible to destroy completely, any remnants of the proscribed terrorist organisation to prevent any future killings of Northerners in the East. Thankfully, the case is still under investigation and I trust our respected Police Force and other security agencies to deliver.
Lol. How are you going to identify who is IPOB? Do you think that anyone is walking around with IPOB written on their forehead? There are many people who totally support IPOB but are not IPOB nembers. IPOB doesnt even have a membership card
The federal government m3ssed its self up locally and internationally when it declared IPOB a terrorist group. There is no such thing as an unarmed terrorist group
Its like saying that there is a car without a steering wheel. You must be armed with guns and bombs to be a terrorist group.
The authorities say IPOB are armed, yet nobody has ever seen IPOB with arms except the authorities
The authorities say IPOB is a terrorist group, yet nobody in the East is terrified of IPOB except the authorities
The authorities say IPOB are violent, yet the only violence attributed to IPOB always starts with the authorities being present.
A time comes when you have to ask, 'Is IPOB the problem or the authorities?'
Over 100 Igbo traditional rulers drawn from different communities across Igbo land from Anioma in Delta state to Oru of Imo state to Ngwa of Abia to Ikwerre of Rivers state to Wawa of Enugu state, gathered to protest the August 23rd killing of IPOB members in Enugu.
The Royal fathers condemned the killing of unarmed Igbo youths and warned the DSS not to ever repeat such. They wondered why the security agents were after unarmed IPOB when armed Fulani herdsmen were all over Igbo land killing people every day
Coldie: The reason why boko Haram and herdsmen and iswap Nigeria no too send them na say it's not a hate group.
If boko Haram came up and was targeting only Southerners I don't think Nigerians will be this silent about them
Oh yeah, Boko haram, ISWAP and killer herdsmen are not hate groups, all they are doing is just killing people from Borno to Southern Kaduna to Benue to Enugu. Whenever they become a hate group and start targeting Southerners then they will be worth talking abou. In the meantime, the people that they are killing is not a serious issue
Coldie: I be igbo man no come here dae make mouth, we don't want trouble we all want a peaceful Nigeria but no come here come make mouth.
Northerners respect their elders alot, no be our own way Nnamdi Kanu no get respect for anybody and foolish people are supporting him.
I started respecting the north more after that quit notice by arewa youths, their elders called them to order and they behaved, they even went as far as to ensure peace and equity to extend hand to Nnamdi Kanu, that would have been a chance for we igbos to redeem our battered image with the north. The fool declined.
Left prison and caused more problems after causing enough problems he ran abroad.
While you are respecting the North and talking about the battered image of the Igbos, try to remember that Boko haram, ISWAP and killer herdsmen are all from the North and they are all armed and killing people across Nigeria daily. IPOB has not done 1% of what those ones are doing and you are talking about battered image? Lol
EMMY76: Their ultimate mission is probably to scuttle the Igbo presidency in 2023 using this type of propaganda. They used it to win the 2015 and 2019 presidential elections and they are likely going to be using it again in 2023 cause that's just the only strategy that works perfectly for them.
But Fulani herdsmen killing people across the country did not prevent a Fulani man like Buhari getting elected
Nsukkagirl: Enugu has always been a cursed jungle with high rate of insecurity, poverty, herdsmen etc
It will never be as bad as up North where armed bandits are killing people daily from Southern Kaduna to Borno to Katsina where Buhari's people are crying daily of being murdered
lordsterlin: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu knows from day one that his supposed quest for a new state of Brafra is not genuine. If it were, he would've encouraged his followers to massively participate in the politics of the Southeast to elect federal and state lawmakers who will champion a constitutional amendment to include the absent referendum in the constitution. This way it can be lawful for Nigerians from the east to through a referendum determine whether to remain or go.
There would be no point doing this since all the votes of the East is far short of what is required to amend the constitution. It like telling a bird to keep flying because it will one day reach the moon.
Nigerians are just hypocrites. A Nigerian will go out to celebrate his independence from Britain every 1st of October. But when Nnamdi Kanu agitates for the independence of his people from Nigeria, the same Nigerian will act like he doesn't know what independence is.
Maduawuchukwu: What is Ohanaeze Youth Council? People who are on the payroll of APC chieftains.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, led by John Nnia Nwodo, has no youth council. Ohanaeze youth council led by Okechukwu Isiguzoro, is sponsored by the Lagos/Ibadan expressway media. Thats why every statement by the so called Ohanaeze Youth Council is usually published by a Western based media house, and none from the East
