THE human experience of change is one conceived and consummated in the crucible of conflict. Change has hardly ever happened without some form of conflict, whether it rages within humans and systems or spills outside to pull others in.


Statis has ever been hardly culled without the conspiracy of the crucible. Thus, it is by conflict, by some sort of struggle, that the silk of some of man‘s finest feats have been spun. This is no less true of the making of countries.

In 1914, Lord Lugard sat all by himself and crafted out of the Northern and Southern protectorates a contraption of convenience he called Nigeria. It was a cataclysmically shortsighted move. On October 1, 1960, after more than half a century, the chains of colonialism meekly retreated from the wrists of Nigeria. But things did not hold together for long. A succession of military coups that started in 1966 finally broke the fragile reed of a tenuous union.



With the trumpet of tumult finally tooted by treachery, the stage was set for a bloody civil war which claimed over a million casualties many of them children who perished as the pangs of hunger left their tender entrails in tatters. A peace of the graveyard was restored in 1970 and the country remained as one after a conflict that no one side had particularly won.

However, to say that across the physical and mental divide between the South-East and the rest of Nigeria, it is daggers that are drawn is to put it mildly. The war ended in 1970 but the cauldron of discontent and mutual suspicion has never ceased. With the region now crying out for its turn to give Nigeria a president, ancient animosities are being arrayed once again.



The calculations about the 2023 elections are fairly recent. What is not is the IPOB – Indigenous People of Biafra, a group which ultimately seeks to midwife a country called Biafra whose status stoked the civil war of 1967-70.

It takes little to make out the IPOB‘s approach towards achieving its nebulous aims. What little there is of the group shows that it is by an iron fist that it seeks to wrestle the South-East from Nigeria and bring the region under its control. The signs stand everywhere and are indeed ominous that the hand the IPOB brings to the table is one that bears an iron fist. It is under its bootheels that the organisation seeks to subdue the South-East.



The catalogue of crimes by the IPOB in the South-East has continued to grow. Almost every day in the South-East, people are killed and public buildings set ablaze. It has become commonplace for people to be abducted. Criminal activities hitherto unheard of no longer make the news in the South-East. The avalanche of deaths and destruction started from the day the IPOB began to systematically disembody the security architecture of the region.

There is also the noisome sit-at-home which is observed every Monday. It has continued with little change in spite of the IPOB‘s strident insistence that it has washed its hands off the weekly ritual now grinding down the patience and provisions of a region whose people live for trade.


When in 2021, the leader of the IPOB, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, was so easily picked up in Kenya and bundled back to Nigeria in humiliating circumstances, many Nigerians rightly questioned the intelligence of an organisation whose leader could be so easily captured.

Instead of asking itself hard questions and putting its house in order, the IPOB has resorted to ripping up the South-East in a bid to draw attention to its cause and draw the Federal Government into a conflict. Unsurprisingly, notoriously reticent government which considers the group a terrorist organisation has paid only deaf ears.

The desperation of the IPOB to force issues in the South-East gives the organisation away as a poor student of history, a group removed from the yearnings of people, and at worst a group of criminals who having failed to make anything out of their miserable lives see their twisted idea of freedom-fighting as an ideal escape.

It is not clear for how long the congregation of crocodiles which make up the IPOB wants to keep up its bloody charade. However, the IPOB must clearly and loudly read the message unfortunately scrawled in the blood of the people it supposedly seeks to emancipate, and it is that no true legitimacy can be conferred at the tip of the lance.

By turning the South-East into a killing field, the IPOB already considered a terrorist organisation by the Federal Government will only continue to alienate the people it crucially needs on its side.

When this happens, as it soon will, the IPOB will find itself completely alone as the pelting rains of history pounds it into the mud of irrelevance and ignominy.

Blaming IPOB on every killing in south east is now stale, the people know better that the federal government is behind it.


IPOB will continue to a pain in the ass of foolish and Idiotic Nigerians.

IPOB and their spokespersons have long brainwashed and misinformed clueless youths that they can't even see the red flags. They see BLACK and say WHITE. It's a pity.

IPOB/ESN kills in the East they'll say it's DSS and Government Mercenaries that killed people;
Government agencies kill the killers they'll now say that Buhari is killing innocent youths.
Just imagine the level of denial and ignorance!

IPOB fools can as well sit at home today while Buhari and their Governors go hungry .

The funniest scenario comes when u see IPOB guttersnipes arguing how Boko Haram and Bandit is Killing in the North and Buhari is busy chasing IPOB in the East

Ok, so we'll rather wait till Imo state becomes Borno or Anambra becomes Sambisa before we call a spade a spade abi?
Chai!
Only the poor, and people with no stake or properties in their villages and states support IPOB in the guise of ESN or AUTOPIT-TOILETS and their destructions.
Wake up!

Another trash pon da beat..Coward used vs the rest of Nigeria and we humbly say bring it on. Since you are now a master degree holder of igboland..Kindly give us a long speech about Wakili and the take over of igangan and yewa and how igbos were able to overcome the war in quick time and own 65percent of Lagos, don't forget to give us an insight of the refugee crisis. Also,give us briefing on how your tradition and culture has been systematically rooted out ,e.g the almighty alaafin wrapped body in public due to islamization. We also want reviews on why parts Lagos is the only developed place in the entire southwest

The Igbo's are yet to have an idea how much damaging the useless group called Ipobs are bringing to their region.

Anyone who is against the activities of the rag tag UGM is automatically an enemy of Igbo's in general.

Illiterates Ipobs have taken over the region while their educated one's are just helpless.. It's a pity

Why are you deliberately derailing this thread? What's the business of Babachir or Tinubu with Ipobs activities? Why are some of you guys be like this? Just to admit the truth about the destruction the illiterates people of Biafra have brought to SE, see the way you have been shifting so many goal post.

It's like some of you guys never pray for the insecurities in SE to end probably because you are benefiting something from it. It's a pity

Isn't it Ironic that you guys are the major talkative about the activities of Boko haram and bandits in the north but when the discussion comes to the destruction Ipob group in SE, then it must be a biased epistle.. Are you also saying everything the press have been written about Boko haram and bandits are false narration?

OyigboUpdate las las na you go tire with multiple moniker to carry propaganda against IPOB...

Ipob is not only a congregation of crocodiles but congregation of murderer.

As far we are concerned anyone supporting Ipob and decapitating of a young lady ripe for marriage is nothing but a terrorists.

Very barbaric act. When Boko Haram was doing such we were so loud on internet condemning such not knowing that over here will be worst than Boko Haram.

Innocent igbo blood Ipob/ESN have shed these past months is enough to set up an artificial river for generation of electricity.

Biafra as they called it is now a land of death and horror. Wicked and horrible beings.

I used to think northerners are wicked and heartless but events over the past few months has shown that South east In which I am part of is a very wicked and heartless region.

Above, they have sold their shame to defend the killings on social media....God forbid.

Simon Ekpa is busy recruiting his ebonyi people well known for heartless behavior in large as they are never in short supply as ESN recruits.

These are same people burning down their villages over lands nothing grows on...

Chika Edoziem is busy empowering orlu youths with Terrorism, cannibalism and beheading of all sorts.

Chineke ekwena Ife ojoo.

Ur brain has been mined bro. Argue facts.
U can do it. Proof me wrong if u r so sure of what u were told.

Uhmmm...Glad you are Igbo. Uhmm oya learn... Do you know that it has been a peaceful organization for many years and their members have been tortured,killed,imprisoned,pictures were littered on nairaland,they were being mocked at..call our space potopoto republic for so many years,we refused to reply because we were born in the west,it's our home too,our life is there..We ignored and ignored all online rants for years..Now OYE said no more...Do you think it is wrong to have said No more after all this years of online bashing because we see them as our younger ones..we are the oldest tribe remember?

If the Nigerian government is Winning the battle,why are they always crying more than the bereaved..Winners don't make noise,they are confident. Now people say we talk about boko haram and trash forgetting that it has to do with the mindset,Americans have guns yet we don't see this trash,same with us..we are educated, we just don't go around shooting people and burning houses..We have a different mindset,there is a target and they want it met as the big bro..enough of the compromises,we have had enough.. The same people showing fake love fought with us for 3 years like we had no opinion or views of our own,so why should we trust them?

That's what you don't understand and can never understand the oldest tribe ..Never ever. We can't afford be scared.my fore fathers never had guns,they weren't scared..they fought the British for 31years from 1883 ,many of my people died but did we stop oh Nooo...

Fast forward to the 1960s,another coconut head generation..they were never scared,Tafa balewa downed, Ahmadu Bello downed..many of my people killed in the north but did they stop oh Noooo......Another 3 years war.........Millions of my civilians killed not army oo civilians but no shaking but did they stopped oh Nooo..

Now this generation, the main stubborn goat generation, is asking peacefully diplomatically for their wishes yet instead of them of compromise for peace,they are acting bossy to the oldest tribe forgetting history matters..They have started seeing the signs of some stubborn goats Ekpa and Kanu showing face, instead of you to pipe low,you wanna give us history for the next generation

Be wise
