On Ipob, The South-east Finds Itself Struggling Between Six And Half A Dozen by ChimaCChristian(op): 5:37pm On Sep 09, 2021
By Chima Christian

The south-east almost always places its emotions ahead of rational thinking anytime Biafra or anything that sounds like it is mentioned. Given our history, this emotional attachment is understandable. Yet, we must strive to grow past the traumas and learn how to put things in proper perspective.

Truth is that IPOB, just like the politicians they routinely condemn, have, at least in the past few weeks, placed their agenda ahead of the collective interest of the people they claim to be fighting for.

No matter how down things come to the wire, you cannot truthfully claim to love a cause more than the people that cause is meant to benefit.

IPOB, thanks to the near-absence of people-centric political leadership in the south-east, acquired power through manipulative rhetorics.

The thing with large scale emotional manipulation is that it may help one acquire power, but it is largely not enough to sustain it. IPOB knows this. That is why it quickly helped itself with a strong instrument of coercion in the name of ESN, unknown gunmen and its upcoming mutations.

The question to ask is this; If the power IPOB obtained through convincing rhetorics is being maintained through brutality and terror, how then are they different from the politicians and "otellectuals" they roundly condemn?

Regardless of what they say their intentions are, IPOB will remain dangerously explosive until the power they wield is made to be accountable to the people. This risk is even compounded by the absence of protocols to protect their power from being susceptible to the emotional outbursts of either IPOB leadership or their angry mob.

All is not well with the south-east. May our present day gamble with IPOB not cost us an arm and a leg before we realise that six is not different from half a dozen.

How can anyone defend an Organisation that beheaded 10 young Girls to make Charms

It will not take long before they Pounce on their defenders too

How is Ohaneze seeking Justice for those murdered girls ?

This sit@home pains them like �. Igbo man loves money, Igbo don't love themselves et cetera. One Nigerianists and criminal politians are in severe trauma seeing that their end is near.

Any Igbo man who believes IPOB can force and unpopular opinion on igbos is not a full blooded Igbo man

IPOB even 10x of them can't force igbos to do what they don't want to do ...igbos do what they want , and IPOB ideas are inline with that

Igbos protest u kill them n complain
Now they protest at home u complain

So what do u want for igbos to abandon biafra agitation ? Then say no with your full chest so that we can tell u NO with our full chest

Popularity of an opinion does not make it right or in your best interest.

Hitler was popular and had the support of most Germans, in the end he led them to destruction and ruin.

This is one of the "efulefus' who never said anything all these years that the Nigerian security forces were shooting and killing unarmed peaceful IPOB protesters, but has now found his voice to call IPOB a terror group

Hypocrites who think you get peace on top of a mountain of injustice
