Nnamdi Kanu founded the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB in 2012 off the back of his massively popular Radio Biafra which he started in 2012. The years 2012 to 2015 were quiet as the government of Jonathan largely ignored the group.

Then Maj. Gen. Buhari (retd) became president, IPOB faced a different approach. The government took them seriously and violent clashes after another saw the federal government declare IPOB as a terrorist group (a declaration that the US, the EU, and the UK refused to endorse).

Watching IPOB revolved as a group and following the utterances of their leader Nnamdi Kanu without sentiment, you would struggle to like them. In fact, the group is set up to attract animosity and feed off the hatred the authorities, outsiders, and wary insiders nurse towards them.

Is this tactic sustainable? Only time would tell.

In the meantime, hate IPOB if you may, but for the sake of objectivity, you owe IPOB (no, yourself) one question, what do they really want? This question is hard to answer and can be the stuff of dissertations. It is easier to answer questions about the historical wrong that has been done to their people for which we urge you to ask five questions aloud and try to answer them before you condemn IPOB.

Questions to ask before you condemn IPOB


1. Has anyone been punished for the war crimes committed against the Igbos?

“Ekerụ ọlụ eke” is a slogan of the new religious-thespian magician In Igbo Land. A land that used to be revered for its generation’s resilience in the face of varying vicissitudes.

I heard that cryptic slogan early last year from Odumeje, who emerged with some strange drama with a confusing title of “Prophet”.

He understudied the terrain and focused on becoming popular hence ceased the social media to perform his thespian talents, including spinning and flipping sick and aged people to the crowd and the supporting seats.

That continued to the chagrin of decent minds until his ego clashed with some towns when he arrogantly insulted their traditions.

That heist he had with the people slowed down such drama and he became an allure of some ‘smart guys, who began to employ his comedy and humorous skills to their mutual benefits.

Today, you can see how mingles glamorously and flamboyantly. It worked! While Odumeje gained popularity, some folks were thinking and cracking their minds on how to become socially relevant like him, and one of such thoughts is the product that birthed the man,”Ekelu ọlụ eke”.

He caught the latitude of freedom the social media offers and also the generous credulity of our society. With these available, then the market is vast, hence the bearer of the new slang sprung into action with similar tact and bravado of the other, but this time even though he makes similar outrageous challenges like “raising the dead” (walking above river Niger), he spiced it up with a brazen level of obscenity to test the compunction of our people towards our cultural values.

Subsequently, as it appears he is actually rising in popularity like he dreams, more confusing ideas are being innovated and our youths of different age sets keep surging with rams to a certain stagnant water where they are stripped to bathe to sacrifice for power (Mbute Ike).

Such a degenerative and barbaric development is now very lucrative. Therefore, the man, Onye Eze ‘jesus’, brandishes his own creativity from spraying money to his naked customers by brink of the disturbing lake, rain insults to those who look back and invoke the name of God and Agbala at the same time.

At the sight of the horrendous display, I think of the erosion of our values and cultures.

If the family system has failed to bring these youths to their roots, the traditional institutions may have also be failing. May be a call to protect the water and curses such practices would attract? Or the government has to call to stop the flagrant abuse of aquatic lives and the health consequences of such communal bathing.

Early this morning, as about 8 am, a filling station along Nnewi-Nnobi road caught fire as passersby and shop owners ran for their lives.
