Unknown gunmen are frustrated Igbo youths who have taken to militancy. They are not ESN. However their actions are too extreme and erratic.

So, as yoruba are refugee in Benin Republic is Ok for u?
stop comparing defence to lawlessness,i never blamed the Easterners for creating esn they are only defending their mother land since the Nigeria military is already compromised,I only oppose any security outfit in eastern Nigeria attacking common northerners who only went there to do their suya business and different enterprise,our problem is Fulani herdsmen not Hausa poor masses living in the state,I also don't support attack on peaceful citizens of Nigeria e.g soludo, stop attacking the armed forces of Nigeria for your information we have people of different tribes in the force,and for your stupid remarks about me being tribalist I only have one word for you he who spit to the sky equally spit on himself.

Nwanne,

ESN used to stay in the bushes doing the Lord's work until prevailing circumstances (repeated attacks on their base camps by the military) forced them to adapt to.a more mobile and urban type of guerilla warfare. Right now we (Ndigbo) can adhere to the code of "Ekumeku" in regards to the escapades of unknown gunmen for obvious reasons... but deep down we all know who these UGM are.

You may have comprehension problem but I don’t. The message is crystal clear for those that can read and understand. ESN is UGM and UGM is ESN. If you know, you know.

We are business men.
You don't burst your scrotum because a fly perched on it. That's stupidity.

We have big markets in SE that depend on patronage of people from far and wide in Nigeria, West Africa and even Cameroon to thrive.
Many of our youths depend on these markets to survive.

Business requires peaceful environment which is why SE has been the most peaceful region in Nigeria for decades now.
If you destroy the peace in SE. Our markets will run out of customers and people will starve. As no one will risk his or live coming to a war zone for trading.

No sensible Igbo will support UGM activities because all you will do is turn SE to chaos.

If IPOb is behind UGM, then I promise you , you will lose your support in SE faster than a harlot pant drops at the sight of a rich man.

We will not allow some one in London to render our markets empty and our youths jobless and hungry. That's madness. What's you plan? Turn us to paupers in the name of senseless freedom fight? Catalonia is the richest region in Spain while maintaining her hostility to Madrid government and retained her search for independence from Spain.
You can develop, get rich, build infrastructures, etc, while still pursing your freedom. Ala agbakwana unu o!

If this is what IPOB hierarchy believe, then they need to stress on this during MNK broadcasts on Radio Biafra.
Every iota of doubt of IPOb and ESN being UGM has to be strongly dispelled by IPOB and Kanu. This is very important if they want to keep the support ESN enjoy in SE high as it currently is.

They should know Ndiigbo are democrats. Our support can be withdrawn and ESN will suffer as well as our farmers.

He should take this rumour of UGM being ESN serious. Many Igbos will not support UGM and you know that.
Nothing concern me with una IPOB, RBL, RBI, UGM, BIM, BZM, MASSOB and other bullshits.

I am in support of anything that will flush Fulani supporters of APC out of Eastern forests without harming innocent lives.

I don't know who these socalled unknown gunmen are, but I am beginning to be uncomfortable with the way things are going in alaigbo. The insecurity is getting out of hand. I have always supported Mazi Kanu but I am starting to have a rethink about the wisdom of his methods. As much as we all like the idea of ESN, we need to tell ourselves some truths. ESN members needs to be registered to foster accountability, if not then we are playing with fire. Who polices ESN when they step out of line? You can't just give such paramilitary people that much power over life and death and not have checks and balances to keep them in check and make them accountable, before they start shedding needless igbo blood in our land. Until ipob finds a way of assuring Ndigbo that it has a way of checking the excesses of ESN, I can't conscientiously support the activities of the group. I come in peace.
You said it all.
Give a man power without appropriate checks and balances and watch the man become a terror.
This is exactly how Boko haram became this monster they are now.

When the markets dry up because of lack of customers, when many youths become jobless, and resort to crime.
When you can no longer walk down your street without being attacked by hoodlums looking to feed, when all you see around you is hunger, despair and squalor.
Then it will concern you.

Let’s keep deceiving ourselves that we don’t know who the gunmen are. Kanu publicly placed a ban on police and declared war on them about two months ago. Since then, we’ve seen daily attacks on police and now prison officials.

When shit finally hit the roof, Na the people go suffer am. When Boko Haram started by killing police officers, some locals supported them thinking they won’t be affected. Today, they know better. I wish all those who are supporting this nonsense well. We shall all be here to see out it ends.
Rubbish. Garba shehu said there are hundreds of fulani criminals in prison that the police will release their name, 1 month after no names

Fvck out phool.

We survived a 3 years devastating war, and stillore developed than those that didn't.

Today, there is no non-capital city in the country that is more developed than Aba and Onitsha.

I support ESN, every other group can go to hell.

ESN is not UGM, only fools and mischievous elements associate the two.

Op,ESN still remains an unlawful security organization no matter their ideology,atleast in the present day Nigeria.
Do not also forget that Mr Kanu was the reason IPOB was targeted during the End SARS protest because he openly called for the attack of persons and properties of the government even against all reasons.
He practically hijacked the protest.
Do you expect a government like the FGN to fold it's arms and watch such mayhem unleashed everywhere while Mr Kanu and his family are safely tucked away abroad?
ESN is unlawful,and not everyone welcomes such.

You are not making sense.
So rather than build on your success, you would rather have it demolished and restart allover again.
You can reject Nigeria vehemently and still build wealth and develop.
Catalonia is an example.
You don't need to turn SE to Sambisa to show you want Biafra badly. You turn her to most developed region in Nigeria to show Nigerians you are a class above them and want no unity with them.

Good you believe UGM is not ESN, because I'm here praying and hoping they are not. Because if they are, they will lose support base in SE quickly. Not even their shouts of Sabo on dissenting Igbo voices will save them.

We want Biafra and we want development. We also know we can have them both same time. We will not exchange one for the other.
If MNK and IPOB can not deliver both of them without sacrificing one, then they should step aside.

Simple.

Oga use your sense oo. Registered indeed! It seems you don't know this is Nigeria abi?

Did Fulani people register Boko Haram? Or you don't know its their own military arm?

Did yoruba register OPC? But its their militant arm?

ESN members are known by their leader. Unknown Gunmen need not be known.

Please let us stop being stupid politically. Fulani and Hausa protect their own. Why can't you protect your own.

Am a businessman man but I pray for ESN and UGM everyday that God will always protect and guide them and keep them in line with the divine mandate of protecting Ndigbo

FYI, I support whatever they are doing. Anything that will bring this wicked, hopeless country down is supported by me.

If Buhari can release Biko Haram terrorists and rehabilitate them and use them to swell up Fulani ranks, what makes you think we can't rehabilitate our own criminals?

God bless Mazi Nnamdi kanu from the rising of the sun to its setting.
