DrGoodman:
This attack has all the trappings of Fulani herdsmen, whom we all have always suspected to be driving around, shooting Igbos to death and claiming to be unknown gunmen, even acting as if they are ESN or IPOB.

This cow farmer and his family has been selling cattle for over 200 years and still successful, he is a big threat to the market penetrative strategies of the fulani, so the business must be stopped for the fulani to make more sales. That was the simple motive.

They just had to mask themselves, sneak into a quiet village where they know the police is far, then open fire on defenceless cows and the cow herder, and quickly escaped. Same modus operandi of Fulani herdsmen.

Pay attention to the statement of the owner, he said and I quote "I was told that he was telling the gunmen that he was not the owner of the cows; that Peter Nweke Ogbede, Chukwuani Onyeabor was the owner but they still killed him. They shot him at very close range and he died,” he said. What does this statement tell you? The guys knew what they wanted to do, the late herder was wasting his time with an explanation.

The herder was selected for killing because they wanted it to ring as an IPOB attack, they wanted to cause more outrage, make it seem like IPOB are now killing fulanis, they wanted more reasons to label IPOB as a terrorist organisation, and one old fulani man's death is fair game to the violent herdsmen.

Of course the police and army will benefit from this madness, they will now start moving into these villages to arrest innocent boys and young girls, labelling them IPOB members, detaining them and demanding heavy bribes as bail money, just plain kidnapping for ransom, using Nigerian security personnel uniforms.

Former chief of army staff, Gen Azubuike Ihejirika (rtd) writes:

"FOOLISH IS NOT IGBO"

BACKGROUND

1. Since 1999, the SouthEast had belonged to the ruling political party at the centre---Fed Govt, which we had overwhelmingly voted for, in all past elections, and the party had over 15 unbroken years in power. Most Igbo elites of today (political, socio-cultural, business, and to some extent, clerical), made their fortune and fame during that period. The ruling party lost presidential election in 2015, and a new coalition party came to power. This category of Igbo elites were angry at the loss of political offices and influence, with the perquisites involved; patronage in contracts and appointments into the boards of Fed Govt MDAs, etc. They could not come to terms with the change.

2. Even before the new President was sworn-in, the pro-Biafran IPOB group, which had campaigned for the then ruling party in 2014, had started a vicious campaign of hate, abuses and lies against the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, and his ethnic group, and the North in general. The disgruntled elites kept supporting and fueling the campaign. It didn't matter that SouthEast was visibly getting more infrastructural development in the fewer years of the present Fed Govt than it got in the longer period of the past ruling party. All that ruled the day were anger, hate, venting the spleen, pull-down-the-roof mindset.

3. The IPOB pro-Biafran agitation had been an umbrella for sundry youth criminal groups: armed robbers, cultists, ritualists, fraudsters, drifters, etc. Their common uniting factor is anachist inclination and proclivity for violence, which is justified as a necessary requirement of a "revolution" to first destroy the existing system, and when the "revolution" has succeeded, then you rebuild everything better. The youths were brainwashed on such diet. The various groups cooperated in sourcing for arms and ammunition for the "revolution", to imbue themselves with greater authority. The disgruntled elites promoted and supported it, as long as it was primarily directed at the Fed Govt and its facilities in the SouthEast. The elites never believed in any Biafran "revolution" though. They knew it cannot happen. The campaign was all provocative rascality, insults and abuses in a running hate propaganda and lies, being juiced with doctored and photo-shopped video clips and a steady flow of fake news. And it was all sweet melody as long as it was directed at President Buhari and his Govt.

4. Sample: There are four (4) military service chiefs, and normally, two come from the North, and two from the South. It is still the same under the present Fed Govt. But you could hear every imaginable twisted narrative and lies about marginalisation and sectionalism against the South and the Igbos in particular. Since this 4th Republic started in 1999, Nigeria has had four (4) Presidents, including the present one. Two had come from the South (Obasanjo and Jonathan from SouthWest and SouthSouth respectively), and two from the North (Yar' Adua and Buhari, both from NorthWest). So, out of the six geopolitical zones, three have produced the President and three have not. This is public knowledge.

5. You can hear some highly placed Igbo leaders/opposition politicians shouting loud and clear that only the SouthEast has not produced a President since 1999 while all other zones have done so, and that this is injustice and inequity against Igbos and that Nigeria cannot survive without justice and equity. That's like insulting the sensibilities of other members of the Nigerian space, as well as issuing a threat. And those leading this chorus are well educated, very knowledgeable and internationally exposed persons who the less educated and ignorant masses look up to, for facts and guidance. When the base human emotions, the animal human nature, takes over, intellect and enlightenment is relegated. Such brazen lies are told to whip up rash emotions and victimhood mindset which lead to dishing out insults, abuses and hate speech against some other members of the Nigerian space.

6. You cannot win the free-will votes of Nigerians by such method. Or do we think we can go to court, obtain an injunction, then come back to nominate a President which Nigerians must accept without voting, or must vote for, all because "it is our turn"? Meanwhile, some other leaders from other parts of the country have been busy building and mobilising grassroot support from across the zones, with a view to gaining their votes in next year's presidential election. Are we expecting they should do the cultivation labour and then hand over the harvest to us, because "it is our turn"? Foolish is not Igbo.

7. Some of our loud voices believe so much in Josef Goebbels' strategy of Big-Lie: Tell the lie boldly and repeatedly, and the masses will believe it to be the truth. Nazi Germany applied it in its drive to exterminate the Jews and "rid Europe of inferior nations", while deceiving the wider world as to the true situation on the ground. But that did not go far before Germany suffered a devastating collapse, and the future generation learnt to say, "never again". If some of the Igbo leaders of today continue to rely on such strategy, then we could expect a similar backlash, because this form of dirty politics breeds violent conflict and destruction.

8. The vicious campaign failed to bring down President Buhari's Govt, and did not also succeed in intimidating and blackmailing the President to do their dictate. Their game plan did not work out. Contradictions set in, and in a twist, the mad dog trained to attack the enemy, turned against its master breeder, and we are all caught up in a fix, confused about the way out. Some prominent spokesmen would attack the person of the President: that he has been romancing Boko Haram and bandits in the North, releasing them and granting them amnesty, while refusing to release a freedom fighter (Nnamdi Kanu) who has not committed any offence, and that Nigeria will know no peace if he is not released. At the same time, another top leader of the same group would say they are appealing or pleading with the President to release the detainee in order to douse tension in the SouthEast, because it's all about equity and fairness, and that is the only way for Nigeria to move forward; that the President is the father of the nation and should forgive the detainee as his son. This is not how to seek for "political solution" if they think that's what they are doing. They are still dishing out insults and threats.

QUESTIONS:

9. What plan has the Igbo leaders laid out to get the armed gangs to renounce violence, surrender their weapons and be rehabilitated in a kind of amnesty program?
Or are they thinking that the Fed Govt should keep quiet and watch armed gangs of non-state actors take over the space and dictate what happens, by using threats and wanton violence? No responsible national government anywhere in the world will tolerate that. Threats, blackmail and insults cannot work here. Nor will simpletonic cunning and fox game work. We must take responsibility, with forthright approach in seeking solution to the problem, then we could be sure of cooperation and support from the Fed Govt, particularly in the area of funding.

10. Those talking of "unconditional release' of Nnamdi Kanu, from the ongoing terrorism-related court trial, are simply jesting, dancing to cheap gallery, entertaining and deceiving themselves and the local folks. It shows crass insensitivity and total disregard to serious national-security concern, as well as insulting the sensibilities of other groups of Nigerian stakeholders. We better wisen up and think better.

11. Recall that this group of pro-Biafran agitators were attacking and destroying Fed Govt facilities in the SouthEast, attacking and killing duty police men and women and their stations burnt, as well as attacking members of other Fed Govt security agencies, and killing Igbo leaders and peasants who disagreed with their method. How many of these elders publicly spoke out against that? It was as if some of them were celebrating the feat and blaming the Fed Govt for creating the situation. That was before the leader of the group was re-arrested outside the country and brought home to face court trial. Has the group denounced such violence?

12. Now that the monster we created has turned back to attack us, we must take responsibility, with a spirit of forthrightness and atonement, in seeking for solution to the problem. Empty grandstanding, cunning and fox game, can only drag and worsen the situation. President Buhari will soon complete his tenure of office and another President (most likely from the SouthWest) will take over, and we could again start attacking him with insults, abuses and hate propaganda, which will lead us nowhere and cannot succeed in intimidating the new person to do our biddings".

Anybody could have written this and put Gen Ihejirika's name on it.

Reno Omokri is a idiot!
Is Okorocha the only candidate from SE?

Amah70:
More people are fiecer and shouting Oduduwa Republic than the people shouting Biafra.

This is no jokes section.
No group in Yoruba land has ever called for election boycott talkless of enforcing it or discourage people from getting voters card or asking them to destroy their pvc cos votes doesn't count according to IPOBs.Only Biafra agitator does that.Try and get your voters first.

Emergingnation0:
Says Fulani Muslim.

Ntoooooor gi

gidgiddy:
I have to agree with Deji Adeyanju, Peter Obi stands no chance at the elections, no Igbo man does unless both parties APC and PDP decide to zone the presidency to the South East, and that is highly unlikely

gidgiddy get your PVC first and encourage others around you to do so.Those shouting no election in Biafraland are actually demarketing our politicians at federal level.

Nnamdi Kanu is a smart bloody criminal.

Shameless Babiallah government.

Is04970:
Who else is waiting for Ohaneze to throw tantrums at Wike for accepting to run with Atiku?

Is VPs chosen before party presidential primaries?

Awkabigboy:
You're right , the government isn't proactive on them and that's why they can always mess up. If the government was actively looking out to catch them by now they would have been long gone

Nigeria never serious in anything.

Awkabigboy:
Him really sabi them , but as u said if he takes over completely then it will be an ill luck for the igbos. But can't he brought down too?

The government are not being proactive at all cos by now every member of DOS + Simon Ekpa are suppose to be on interpol red notice list of wanted people.In fact all of them are suppose to stand trial for crimes against humanity and terrorism with their leader Nnamdi Kanu.
I hope next government will be up and doing.

Okorocha is a thief that looted even kitchen utensils from government house.

Awkabigboy:
I'm telling you, dude wants to prove that he's hard-core and all that shit

Yes because he understands IPOB miscreants mindset very well,they want someone who talks tough and acts tough it does not matter to them if what he is saying or doing makes sense or not.They want to be lied to that Biafra is coming anything outside this you are a sabo.

Awkabigboy:
Absolutely you're right, Simon Ekpa is the new sherif in town

IPOB has messed up Igboland and once that short engine in Finland takes absolute control things gonna get really rough.
Starting something is so easy but you can't predict how its gonna end.

ayzTIGER:
you know one thing with you people is shamelessness. So millions of people are obeying the sit at home because of Ipob then what is the work of the police, can we say that Nigerian police are totally useless since people ignore them to obey IPOB.

Even police is afraid of terrorist so the public have no option than to obey the order from the pit of hell.

owobokiri:
You don't make omelette without breaking eggs..
Kanu lost his father and mother and cousins to this struggle. Thousands killed across biafraland ..
If folks don't want to participate, they can easily disobey. I think the IPOB authorities have told everyone to go about their normal duties on Mondays.
My impression is that people feel a bit guilty enjoying themselves on Mondays when The Lion of Biafra, aka Onyendu, is in the hands of the vandals.
It makes sense if you look at it critically

This is hilarious
People are lamenting and crying over the forced sit at home now been enforced by the new emerging leader of Iduu/Biafra Kingdon in the person of Simon Ekpa.DOS is now a sitting duck and I advise they shouldn't be making new pronouncements for any kind of order/ban because they have lost the war with Simon Ekpa already.They are no more in control of the bandits they created.

Owobokiri will tell you people are sitting at home voluntarily without compulsion.Ndi asi na ndi mgbu.

DrGoodman:
Your hate for the Igbo people is all over cyberspace. Don't even try to deny it. Your hate foe ipob is just your fear that the Igbos are finally starting to get things right by the revelation of Nnamdi Kanu.

I do not hide my disdain for ipob for obvious reasons but you can't point to any anti Igbo comments made by me rather there are thousands of pro Igbo comments from me even before you registered in this forum.
Criticising Massob, Ohanaeze and Igbo leadership is not seen as anti Igbo by brainwashed ipob hypocrites but when it is done to them they will term it as anti Igbo from Igbo hater. Ndi uchu.
Nnamdi Kanu pulled down massob and Uwazurike with criticism to build his own scam empire while he was at it they caught him and stripe him naked and flogged the shlt out of the moderfucker and made a video of it for being anti Igbo then Yeah Yeah he was anti Igbo and sabo to massob that made him.

DrGoodman:
No no no, its not like that. Being Igbo resonates from the inside, their's a certain amount of decorum needed for one to become an Igbo person, Igbos call it as it is, they love their brothers. Igbos are born with that large moral compass. Note that all big Igbos who disagreed with Nnamdi Kanu are all coming together to support him. It takes intelligent people to admit when they were wrong. Everything Nnamdi Kanu warned about is playing out right before all Nigerians, including you. But your refusal to acknowledge him shows you are ignoring the warnings because all along, you're not even an Igboman. You're only hoping to stand inside and cause a divided house.

But Igbo people knows there are people like you, and so we are taking notes of your opinions, no matter how far fetched they are from the general consensus on the ground.

My advice is that you return to a northern moniker, be yourself and criticize Igbos like everyone else, this impostor job is making you a laughable caricature

Stop acting like a slowpoke,I criticize IPOB not Igbos.IPOB is just a group of misinformed people in Igboland created 10 years ago that was 2 years after I registered this handle in this forum, they do not rep the Igbo people or Igbo nation.Show me where I criticize ndi Igbo.

DrGoodman:
You are proving my point with every post, while I am commenting on your behaviour like an Igbo man will do, you have started attacking me like an average northerner will accuse every Igbo person

Look, you cannot hide behind a stolen identity foe too long, your true nature, your trainings and your people's beliefs will always show in everything you do. All you do online is to stand against everything any Igbo person says or does, to the extent of calling your brothers terrorists?

You are not from the south east.

Anybody that disagrees with your views is not Igbo like being Igbo needs approval by you.
Being Igbo is not your family business ok.So go and rest with your warped views.

DrGoodman:
Exactly, all the stand you took, exposed you as a fulani man.

And that makes you a terr0rist.
Because only terrorists will disagree with my stand.

Collyweed:
Little correction! The highlighted is actually Onyendufu

Gbam onyem!
Onyendufu karaka.

DrGoodman:
People can pretend for 30 years, that still won't make them come from the place they so much detest. You cannot be from a place you show open hate for, your patriotism is somewhere else, prompting all watchers to conclude you are only using the Igbo sounding moniker to deceive people into thinking you are from Ignoland. A lot of people do that here and you know it.

So because I did not align with your cannibalistics behavious in Igboland abi
Because I did not support ESN terrorist killing and beheading our people okwaya
Because I am not supporting your Talibanistic act of locking our people indoors every now and then as your master wishes.
Because I am not in support of the evil and abomination of kidnapping ndi Eze in Imo state and torture them to death as ordered by Onyendu abi?Those are the things that made not to be Igbo in the eyes of the bandits and terrorist operating in Igboland under the influence of MNK supplied Mkpurummiri.Fyi,Ojiofor is proudly from Abia North he just hates lies and propaganda that have destroyed our youths and Igboland by abroad based scammers.

DrGoodman:
No you're not, registering an Igbo sounding moniker on nairaland doesn't make one an Igbo person.

Well,I have been here for 12 years so I have nothing to prove to newbies like you.
I was already a member of this forum before MNK created his Ponzi bloody scheme called IPOB.

DrGoodman:
Stop crying more than the bereaved. Allow Igbo people to fight for what they believe in, Biafra.

Am I not part of the Igbo nation?
Do you or anyone have more stake in Igboland than I do?

DrGoodman:
I tell you with all honesty, you don't know anything about Nnamdi Kanu. He is too much respected in his region.

God will bless him forever.

People of Germany also respected Adolf Hitler until he led them to mass slaughter.
The people that respects Kanu what are they getting in return?They are getting killed and locked inside their homes in the name of sit at home for the person they respect.

HBB1:
God bless you bro.

Let's say the truth as it is.

Seek reconciliation where possible and move on from there.

Blames, counter-blames and LIES will not help anybody.

I grew up thimking Nzeogwu was a hero, because I was naive and stupid.

I had an Igbo friend who hated the very mention of Nzeogwu since we were teenagers.
He called him insane and blood thirsty.

I am older now and having a rounded knowledge of what happened, I know the 1st coup was a terrible mistake.

Those young, naive, power-drunk men changed the course of this country's history.

Amen and bless you too.We must say the truth at all times or else our youths will be misled by charlatans as the case maybe today.
I was also idolizing Nzeogwu and co until I come of age and realised the damage they did to ndi Igbo and Nigeria in general.
Imagine what Eastern region led by Dr Michael Okpara would have done with oil wealth in the 1970s.
Imagine how developed Eastern region would have been today if that coup and civil war didn't happen.
Why should I support group of rascals whose reckless actions set the young nation Nigeria and ndi Igbo backward for many decades.

No normal human being can be chanting holy holy holy nnamdi Kanu is another saviour with his or her senses intact.
MpuruMmiri is at work.Say no to brainwashing of our youths and drug abused.

DMerciful:
Hopefully the leaders do the right thing that's based on equity and justice!

Let us continue to fight for equity and justice within until then.
