So basically now that Commander Ikonso has been killed and his base neutralized, another "commander" will easily take his place and operate from a more nondescript location this time from which he and his men can attack military/police facilities to wreck more havoc, seize weapons and then melt into thin air like we've seen unfold from the Unknown gunmen attacks.

It's borderline daftness, sheer ignorance and too much consumption of gbegiri, kpomo and algae soup to just conclude this is the end of ESN off one fluke scorecard of "victory" in some remote community in Imo State for the Nigerian security personnels when the actual fighting strength, organizational structure, and logistics of ESN remains relatively unknown. ESN for all we know could have reserve fighters in the Amazonian region and parts of the Niger Delta, with sleeper cells in the Middle belt...

Yeribanza man focus on the filth in your region and worry less about how the East will fare, as long as ESN keep decimating and ridding off the last Fulani vestiges in the East, then they will continue to enjoy the support and good will of the Igbos (covertly or overtly).

You are naive.
When ESN strikes, they kill fellow Igbo, when businesses are burnt down in Abia, most will belong to the Igbos. What's the purpose of the insurgency.
Again, you may not like what the OP said, but the images we are seeing shows ESN is not ready for this kind of warfare.
There is no forest in the East to hide ESN (South East is largely built up) as the case maybe with the BH, it then means that most of the fights will be in the open areas and most time innocent civilians will be victim.
I think the East should review their strategy, the costs of this present approach will be very costly.

Kingrefreshed:


Una kill one person and there's jubilation all over the Terrorist Country.

Hahaha when the real war is about to start. Na just to go restrategize and let the war continue.

Fulani can take Yoruba Land, Take middle belt as they defeated the Hausa's.

But you see Igbo Land Nothing like that over here lia lie!!

Instead another civil war will Start.

Igboland will be destroyed, again... Protect your lands, yes, but these terrorists acts deserves severe reactions from FG.

AbaLion:

Someone declared a death sentence on Southeast Governors. Someone declared that police are no longer allowed on roads in Southeast region. Someone also declared that no prisoner is allowed to be in prison. Use your head and connect the dots.

-Lion

Declared is different from doing. Ipob has said they will do many things which they never did. The governors intelligence vindicated them, saying politicians using external forces were responsible for the attacks on state facility.


Who are the external forces??

The Nigerian army beating their chest,lost an officer and numerous soldiers even with their armoured tanks and helicopters. And who were they fighting ? A rag tag outfit based on volunteers. I don’t support violence but the opinion of the op has huge gaping holes in it’s logic , exposure to military strategy and historical facts .

IPOB that have members across the world can not be daft,they are only testing their might

AbaLion:


Lol..
With Nigeria security forces walking into ESN territory and gunned down Kanu's deputy, trust me, Nigeria security have had the upper hand and South East has become a marked territory of the Nigerian Army. Kanu/ESN was having the sole command of the South east but he has now lost it.

-Lion

You just have to understand the fact that Imo state is less hardened when it comes to Biafran issues ... Ebonyi state and Abia state have more supporters and hardened men who believes in the struggle.. So the death if Ikonso is likely not going to have negative influence...

AbaLion:

@bold.. You now own up to the criminal activities of ESN under the guise of UGM. Fantastic confession.

Do you know the pile of shit that comes out of your head simply defines how intellectually bereft you sound?
Here is a fun fact for you; Kanu is a fugitive who is being represented by a high ranking local commander, a deputy.
A deputy (2nd in command to Kanu) bears the highest authority to his supreme leader. All other cell commanders are answerable to Ikonso who represents Kanu in Nigeria.
With his being killed, his flanks opened & decimated, ESN command can never regroup anylonger. As we speak, Nigeria Army have had access to ESN database in the Southeast. You have handed your enemy a gun to blow up your skull.

AbaLion:
The killing of ESN Commander in the heart of the operational base of ESN in Imo has not only exposed the tactical weakness of ESN Operatives but also the tactical daftness of Nnamdi Kanu as a leader.

The theatre of ESN which is supposed to be impenetrable given how sensitive as the operational and tactical base of the zone, was torn down by Nigeria security forces and the Commander, Ikonso shot down to his boxer with his charmed vest hanging helplessly around his neck.
If your most fortified camp could be broken down fairly easily, then you are Finished!

The Nigerian security are henceforth in possession of some sensitive and substantial details of ESN. Raids including gadgets and sensitive materials linkng ESN networking and other top commanders & staffs and operational information would have been obtained. There's no way a top commander, much less a deputy to Kanu wouldn't have some top secret details in his possession. Everything is now pretty much in the hands of Nigeria Army.

The reason why Nigeria security forces have been having tougher times defeating Bokoharam, Bandits & fulani herdmen is because their operational camps have never been penetrated by the security agencies. What we do witness are occassional random arrests of terrorists & bandits with little or nothing to show.

Going into a terrorist camp is a fight to finish as the case of Idris Deby paying the ultimate price. ESN do not have what it takes to defend its most fortified territory. Although, they could throw back some few punches but would later buck even before the fight began.

A closer look at the arms and ammunition recovered from Ikonso's camp shows the unpreparedness and scantily stocked the so called ESN, other than an empty barrel. With those little stock of arms, they hardly could go a 6 hour shooting spree with the the security agencies. Compare with the fully armed bandits hobnobbing with Gumi, whose ammunition were displayed with intent. Notwithstanding, the full gallery of their arms & ammunition. They have easy access from Libya, Chad, Mali, Niger through the border.

What access do ESN has? the access to attack random road blocks police officers, get them killed and disposses them of their weapons, at most an organized attacks on police stations where large cache of arms were stolen for more attacks. They are landlocked, they are holed up without the privilege of access like the North, the West or their close neighbors, SS. Little wonder, Nnamdi Kanu was so particular about dismantling all road blocks in the South East so that as much arms would come in so easily and unfettered.

With the Nigerian Army in possession of what would further nail IPOB/ESN in the international community, I expect that British Government and her EU allies will revoke the asylum consideration and may likely align with the Federal Government's proscription of IPOB in the wake of overwhelming criminal evidences linking IPOB activities to terrorism less than 24hours to an attack on a Governor's house. While his house was set ablaze, cars burnt, more unfortunately, two of his security aides were killed.

The perpetrators could not be far fetched from the statement by another South East Governor, Ikpeazu, who stated that Nnamdi Kanu had declared death sentence on All the Governors in the South East.

Nnamdi Kanu has been having a handshake across the Ambazonia region of Southern Cameroon from whence he has been getting handouts on how to carry out series of organized violent attacks on Government institutions. Being a man with much words and very little wisdom, he has no political support which creates a wide gulf from his Ambazonia counterpart, who has the support of the socio-political class.
Nnamdi Kanu would be rat out from his hole because of his vile vituperations, wild imaginations, and tactless misgivings.

If his foot soldiers could penetrate a Governors house, I think Kanu could have made the most of it by deploying intellectual sagacity rather than being a blood thirsty & destructive beast. The absence and otherwise lack of a think-tank among Ipob's hierarchy complements Kanu and his goons as a money hungry cult.

Following this ugly development, it's high time Ohaneze Ndigbo and Elders crawled out with their red caps and walking sticks to make a loud plea to tie down their recalcitrant ipob kids to a chain and passionately disown Kanu with their full chest, otherwise the righteous dwellers might suffer from the impending consequences.

We repeat the 1967 mistake all over again. You don't go to war without being prepared. When would my people learn?
Nnamdi kanu has never been a strategy leader. His style of leadership keeps leading many to an early grave.
This is not what we need. We need wise leaders not another hasty fool.
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

For the fact that Seun of this Nairaland can bring this kind of hate write up to front page, proves he is a hater of South Easterners and anything Igbo.
The writer did not only insult Ipob but deviated to insult the good people of Ohanaze world wide.
ALL IGBOS SHOULD HENCEFORTH DELETE THIER ACCOUNT FROM NAIRALAND , The owners are anti Igbo. This rubbish write up shouldn't have come to front-page. I do not sympathise with IPOB but the writer deviated to insult ndi Igbo and it's allowed .
This is not right.
The writer is even praising Boko haram, Bandits and other terrorist and it's allowed on front page ?? Just because an element against ndi Igbo is there ?
This shit must have been written by a Boko haram terrorist that has a Nairaland account or Thier sympathiser .

One ikonso dead, a million more to rise, ikonso was not born when southeast held Nigeria to a three-year war. The Fulani militia are using southern money to buy weapons to kill southern youths,

oldbende:
Lion are you saying that Chad military the delt a big blow on Boko Haram terrorists are weak because the commander of the army and President of Chad was killed ? Did America finished the Taliban because most of their senior commanders was killed ? America is pulling its troops out of Afghanistan having fought and got tired of fighting. I'm in America and proud to say I make my monthly contributions to ESN on time. The last time Mazi Kanu came here we raised over 400.000 dollars withing two weeks. IPOB is a multi million dollars organization if you don't know, and we have a enough resources and manpower to match our enemies. The ammunition we used are locally made by men trained in Israel. There are many things you don't know about IPOB. A lots of Igbo billionaires who a fed up with Nigeria are secretly financing IPOB activities. Now that the get of hell is widely open, stay tuned with the news...

AbaLion:

Kanu has proven a couple of times that he is incapable of leading a successful war.
First, he was raided and stung inside his house in his hometown, he barely escaped while his BSS were flat-footed.
Kanu cannot secure his own line of defense. Twice or more his defense mechanism has crumbled under the weight of the Nigerian forces. Such a man like Kanu is best fit as a spokesman but never as a strategist. He has no background whatsoever.
You can keep donating your monies nonetheless, he could use that to change his looks and grow more beards.

Biafra agitation, Igbo freedom is bigger than Nnamdi Kanu or anybody. It's a dream, an ideology, more like a religion which never dies.


Nnamdi Kanu is a nobody when it comes to Biafra or Igbo sovereignty.

Igbos are only supporting him because he is doing what Igbos desire which is actualization of Igbo sovereignty.



If Nnamdi Kanu dies today, Biafra agitation continues. The death of Ojukwu or his contesting for President under Nigerian politics didn't stop Biafran dream talk more of young Nnamdi Kanu of yesterday.


Before Nnamdi Kanu there was Uwazuruike and many more waiting.



What Buhari and the ill-advised present federal government of Nigeria is doing is winning more Igbos on the side of Nnamdi Kanu and Biafra.


The more FG uses force to clamp down on IPOB and ESN leaving Fulani herdsmen militant that gave birth to creation of ESN, the more they convince well meaning Igbos home and abroad that truly Biafra must be fought for at all cost, and that spell doom cos what's delaying Biafra actualization is the fact that many well to do Igbos and politicians have been indifferent and not really committed to actualization of Biafra as they still believe in Nigerian project.



But with bloody clampdown on IPOB's ESN by FG, there will be sentiments on Igbo camp which will lead to massive support for ESN and this may lead to escalation of the crises that may result to full blown Civil War.

Na like play like this war de start.


And you cannot compare Boko Haram or Bandits with ESN because ESN is fighting a just fight for a people freedom while Boko Haram and Bandits are just fighting for no solid or known reason.


Freedom fighting is always a bloody fight that last centuries and destroys nations if not handled with care and that may be the case of Nigeria if Buhari doesn't slow down on his hatred for Igbos.




So forget about ESN tactics or whatever now, if this bloody clampdown continues, more Igbo youths will join out of volunteer and this will lead
to formation of a full ethnic military which won't be well with the whole nation.



You guys cheering Buhari and his government on will be regretting it at the end if at all you survive to tell the story.


Lest I forget, this senseless tribalism of Buhari leading to multiple agitation by various tribes in Nigeria is also costing Nigeria so much because Nigeria is losing heavy investments as more Nigerians especially Igbos in Nigeria and diaspora who are known for investing massively in building and business development all over Nigeria are getting more and more discouraged from investing outside Igbo land and Nigeria in general as they become more worried of the future of one Nigeria
