I hope Peter Obi condemns sit at home in Anambra and prays for the dead today

The people 's real president is only concerned about National issues at the moment. If Anambra likes, let it roast, Nigeria is what matters to him at the moment.

vanbonattel:

Truth is usually clear. People liked the post because there's a lot of truth in it.

PulaPower:
Nawa o..

Agulu is a mess..

It's like you are taking something that is disturbing your brain

Will this sit-at-home ever end ? They should be taking it easy on people, wasting people’s lives as if life isn’t precious to them too

Ebubu8:
Anambra is plaqued with insurgency

God bless Ebonyi state the safest state in South East 🙏 Ebonyi does not observe sit at home. I even went to the bank today and the kids are at school.

Development only comes to peaceful places that's why development has been coming to Ebonyi state and they are angry towards the airport among others.

Na your loud mouthed type dey contribute to future stories like "Ebonyi was peaceful, but it is now riddled with attacks. People who wants everything to be in public and can't shut their mouths up

IGBOPROMISE1:
It’s possible the bigot you just quoted is a employee of one of the security bodies…..most likely the DSS or army! Either that, or he’s close in one way or another to the corridors of hegemonic power (2015-date)! He’s been on this forum for quite some time now, trying to fool the unsuspecting into believing he’s actually Igbo from Ebonyi state! All he does is try to set the cat amongst the pigeons and cause division and bickering amongst gullible and emotional Igbo on this forum…some of who take his bait!

I thought as much. And the so called Nairaland l
moderatirs looking indfferent to these incitements..

Sharpsharp00123:
Omo d election loss to Buhari then really exposed them as not intelligent at all

Imagine a tribe who once bragged as d most intelligent tribe in d world suddenly become ridiculed cos of their hate for Buhari

They suddenly believed Buhari was cloned without knowing the meaning of cloning and what it entails

Same people believed trump will come n conduct referendum in Nigeria


Same people believed they can get their own country by killing security operatives

No b d same people believe say insulting everyone can get them presidency

Now they are been locked up by a small boy in faraway Finland


One day d Igbos will b too ashamed to tell their coming generations about how they played into d hands of Simon ekpa n how he messed them up

From your analysis ,you can clearly see that the Ibo live in a multiverse of madness. How killing your OWN people and shutting down your OWN region every Monday will get you Biafra is the epitome of insanity.
Talk about cutting your OWN nose to spite your OWN face.
They want Biafra yet they want Peter Obi for President. What a mad paradox!

The irony is you will never see IPOB/terrorism enablers like bigkoko,franchasofficia, gidgiddy, or Igbopromise on these threads. They are copying their deranged leaders like Oby Ezekwesili and Peter Obi in burying their heads in the sand like ostriches and pretending the Monday sit at home murders do not happen or exist.

Jonjam269:
Transforming your region into a hotbed of terrorism and instilling fear among the very people you claim to be fighting for under the guise of an idealized utopian Biafrud is a misguided and counterproductive strategy.
Rather than focusing on the pressing issue of IPOB's terrorist activities, Obingo and his deluded obirodent miscreants are busy meddling in other regions' affairs.
Obi is busy installing subpar boreholes and projects in unnecessary locations, while his backyard has been turned to hotbed of terrorism by IPOB terrorists.

On Twitter/X, there is a current video of an IPOB/Biafra terrorist threatening that if they dare bring the body of the late Senator Ifeanyi Uba to Nnewi for burial,IPOB terrorists will disrupt the burial ceremony and take away the dead body.
This terrorist is on twitter boldly displaying his face and none of the Ibo leaders like Ezekwesili or Obi has come out to condemn these threats.

Monday sit-at-home in the Southeast is no longer a self imposed protest by the Easterners started during Buhari's arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB have already distanced themselves from it and even called it off officially, but the wicked Nigerian federal government working tirelessly to discredit Peter Obi and to make Southeast a replica of Northeastern Nigeria as a way of reducing Igbo people's socio-political and economic strength in the Nigerian dirty politics have continued to use state sponsored actors to enforce sit-at-home in Southeast.



Simon Ekpa is not Igbo people's favorite, that he enjoys some handful of lost Igbo youths support online doesn't make him an Igbo cherished Apostle. IPOB have sent delegates to Finland he refused to come out. He doesn't attend any IPOB hosted events in Europe or Finland, he moves about with white guards. Nigerian federal government have refused to seriously make efforts to get him arrested or held accountable because the APC led federal government is using him but uninformed people like you don't know all these.


Nnamdi Kanu that enjoyed many Igbo people's support used to come back to Nigeria, used to visit different European and Asian countries including America to host IPOB events and to meet with Igbos in Diaspora to discuss Biafra secession, but this APC sponsored Simon Ekpa who claims to be working for Igbo people's freedom refuses to associate with Igbos he claim to be fighting for because he knows that he is working against Igbos.

The ability of a typical Ibo to hide his head in the sand like an ostrich is unrivalled. Just see how you are shifting blame while playing the victim. There are numerous videos of Nnamdi Kanu telling his demented followers to listen to Simon Ekpa because he is a chosen one.

Right now on Twitter/X there is another IPOB lunatic in a video threatening all and sundry that if they dare bring the body of the late Senator Ifeanyi Uba to Nnewi for burial,IPOB will attack the pall bearers and any mourners and take the body away. These kind of threats are seen by your leaders like Obi and Ezekwesili but they pretend to be deaf and blind. Later when IPOB attack and disrupt the funeral ceremony of Senator Ifeanyi Uba terrorism enablers like yourself will come here to tell us that it was sponsored by the APC government.
This is why I insist that the Ibo are securely locked inside a multiverse of madness. You want Biafra and you want Obi as Nigeria President. What a paradox of insanity.



Below is a video of Nnamdi Kanu endorsing Simon Ekpa as his successor but Ibos will come here and lie that Ekpa is working for the Nigeria government.

I will address your comments.


First, the reason why the so called IPOB member threatened anybody that tries to bring back Ifeanyi Uba's corpse to Anambra is not far fetched. Rumors had it that Buhari's government used Ifeanyi Uba to lure Nnamdi Kanu to Kenya where he was forcefully renditioned to Nigeria, and they said he did it for two reasons; debt relief from his numerous loan debt with AMCON and a promise to make him Anambra state Governor. Igbos hate traitors, so many IPOB members hate Ifeanyi Uba because of his alleged role in Nnamdi Kanu's rendition from Kenya by Buhari's regime. Don't argue it because Nnamdi Kanu speaks to his Lawyer and other eminent Igbos plus his family members during his court trial sessions and he must have confided in them on what transpired, and the person that invited him to Kenya, etc.



About Peter Obi not condemning IPOB that you guys always talk about. Sometimes I keep wondering how you guys reason. Is Peter Obi an IPOB founder or Apostle? Do you think IPOB is just a gang or association? IPOB is a group founded based on a strong ideology to actualize Biafra through peaceful dialogue and international negotiations and lobbying. You cannot control them by issuing statement to condemn whatever you believe they did wrong.


First, the known IPOB is not responsible for any act of violence or killings going on in the Southeast, IPOB itself do condemn all these, including the sit-at-home through their official spokesperson but you guys don't want to believe because you simply don't like Igbos.


The way you see IPOB as a terrorist organization is exactly why Nigerian government under Buhari's regime designated IPOB as a terrorist organization while the rest of the world refused to do so instead condemned Nigerian government for doing so.


It is normal to see people use the name or image or a growing or popular brand to commit crime and atrocities, it's not out of place, it's a normal practice. It is also normal for any nation's government to use their intelligence organization to break whatever association or organization they see as a threat to their regime, which is what Nigerian federal government have been doing to IPOB using DSS and other covert operations to break IPOB by spoiling the image perception in the eyes and minds of Igbos and Nigerians so that they can start seeing IPOB as the sole cause of every insecurity and destruction going on in the Southeast so that Igbos can start to abhor IPOB and seize to support them which would weaken them.


At the same time, politicians who see Peter Obi and Southeast attempt to take over Presidential power from Buhari based on the belief that it was Southeast turn seized the opportunity of the IPOB agitation and Southeast insecurity to discredit Southeast before the rest of Nigerians and also to discredit Peter Obi as a credible candidate as they portrayed him as an IPOB member who would divide Nigeria should he emerge President. These are all dirty political games played in Nigerian politics.



Now to address why Peter Obi doesn't condemn IPOB whenever there is an attack or killing in the Southeast attributed to IPOB by the federal government of Nigeria.


First, some deep intels have already proved that some of the attacks are state sponsored. Are you not aware of how Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma hired Asari Dokubo to supply him militia to help him fight unknown gunmen in Imo state which Asari himself even boasted off in one of his numerous unguarded rants. Those Asari Dokubo militants caused a lot of havoc in Imo State. Many of them got killed by those unknown gunmen who showed superiority to them in the battlefield that forced Hope Uzodinma to cancel the secret contract and part of the reasons Asari Dokubo hated Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB the more, he lost a lot of his militants before the contract got terminated and then Hope Uzodinma started the Tiger Base security that operates like terrorists.



These Tiger Base guys are so ruthless and unguarded to the extent that they even engage in cannibalism of captured suspected unknown gunmen as a way to instill fear in them and force them to seize their attacks.


This act further complicated the heightened insecurity in the Southeast as the unknown gunmen in retaliation started replicating the same cannibalism of captured Tiger Base members to also prove to Hope Uzodinma and his own gunmen that they are equal to the task.


Now another question you may ask is, who are unknown gunmen? Again, Imo State Governor in collaboration with Federal government created unknown gunmen, how? The brutal killing of Eastern Security Network (ESN) Commander Ikonso by a joint Taskforce comprising of Police, DSS, Army, Navy, AirForce, Civil Defense that invaded his hometown in Orlu at odd hour after he rejected the offer to withdraw from ESN and join Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma's security outfit caused many ESN members then to disperse and swore to revenge Ikonso's death which made Imo State Governor to relocate to Abuja and started moving about with Military convoy while he stayed inside an APC anytime he was visiting Imo State.


That was why Orlu became a hotbed of insecurity in Imo State and Southeast and it spread to neighboring Anambra state communities.


Hope Uzodinma is from Orlu, Ikonso the late ESN Commander is from Orlu same kindred with Hope Uzodinma. ESN guys invaded Hope Uzodinma's mansion in his hometown the day Ikonso was murdered and burnt the house, including exotic cars he parked there and that was how Orlu caught fire till date.


Instead of Hope Uzodinma to follow peaceful negotiation and maybe apology for the mistake of killing Ikonso instead of arresting him, he chose to collaborate with Buhari's federal government to use extreme force to try to quench the anger of the ESN members who had already dispersed to several parts of Southeast, this was how unknown gunmen was birthed in the Southeast as those ESN guys continued a guerrilla warfare against Nigerian security by attacking their checkpoints saying they should leave Southeast entirely and stop mounting checkpoints to exploit Igbos.


From there, different interest groups which varying interest started exploiting the situation to their advantage, Simon Ekpa being a loyal IPOB member endorsed by Nnamdi Kanu during his freedom time saw the leadership gap as an opportunity to make money for himself and also build his own popularity by capitalizing on enforcing the previous voluntary sit-at-home using some senseless youths.


I am sure you know how ESN was formed? Kanu formed it out of his desire to secure Southeast region from rising Fulani herdsmen attacks then, after Southwest Governors formed Amotekun causing Igbos to start begging Southeast Governors to follow Southwest Governors by forming an Eastern Security Outfit. Nnamdi Kanu kept blasting Southeast Governors to follow Southwest Governors and do same but they paid deaf ear because Buhari was deceiving Dave Umahi with a fake promise that he would make sure he succeeded him, so Dave Umahi started discouraging other Southeast Governors from making an attempt to create a Southeast security network. As Igbos continued to cry for help, Nnamdi Kanu decided to wage in by forming the Eastern Security Network, ESN and even invited Southeast Governors to come and take over and use it to secure Southeast like the Yoruba Governors are doing for Southwest.


Instead of Southeast Governors to adopt and take over ESN, they rather started attacking them using federal government sponsored security. This worsened the situation in Southeast.



So Peter Obi condemning IPOB for any attack in Southeast alleged to be by IPOB is a waste of time, he knows this cos he knows the origin of the problem and how to stop it.


On why Igbos want Peter Obi and some also agitating for Biafra.


First let me let you understand that Igbos don't hate any tribe in Nigeria, what we don't like is how some tribes or region have been consistent in cheating and marginalizing Igbos and Southeast region in federal politics. It has caused slow development in Southeast, poor federal infrastructure and presence, which angers most Igbo youths of today including myself.


What is bad in having fully functional seaports in all regions of Nigeria that have the capability to host one or two? Is it not for the betterment of Nigeria and Nigerians? Why are federal government infrastructures, roads, facilities, etc in the Southeast always in the worst state than any other region? Why is it a crime for an Igbo man to become IG of Police, Chief Justice of Nigeria, Defense Minister, etc? These are things that worry every reasonable Igbo youth, we keep wondering why? Why cant an Igbo person become President? Why must an Igbo person travel all the way to Lagos or Abuja before he can import goods or travel abroad or do certain things, why cant he do it in his region like Enugu or Owerri or something?


These are the things that make Igbos feel marginalized and cheated in Nigeria and when they complain about these issues, Nigerians, especially Yorubas brush it aside and rather accuse Igbos of victim mentality whereas these are facts and realities that calls for solution instead of making it look normal. Will Yorubas accept such treatment? Will Hausa-Fulanis accept it? As Nigerian government under none Igbo Presidents fail to address these issues, Igbos then believe that maybe if an Igbo person emerges President, he would address these issues and make Igbos feel belonged, so this is the reason Igbos believed that Peter Obi emerging as President would help address issues of political inequalities in Nigeria.


In the absence of the above, some Igbos believe that the best way to solve the political inequalities in Nigeria is through complete division of the Nigerian state into various entities that make up Nigeria, from which Biafra would emerge and give Igbos the opportunity to be in charge of their political welfare and direction which Nigeria failed to give them.


So if Peter Obi had emerged President, it would have solved a lot of issues in Nigeria.


It would have killed and buried the issue of Biafra agitation in the Southeast because the major reason fueling Biafra agitation among Igbos is political marginalization and cheating since the end of the civil war in 1970. So if an Igbo person emerges President, Igbos have no other reason or moral right to cry of political marginalization but will rather shift the blame to the Igbo President if he fails to address some of the burning issues of marginalization in the Southeast.



Now this is why Peter Obi don't put mouth in IPOB matter. He knows why they are agitating for Biafra, every reasonable Igbo person knows why Igbos are agitating for Biafra; it is to stop the political marginalization against Igbos in Nigeria so that Igbos can leave Nigeria to form their own country and be completely in charge of their future and political direction. So the only way to kill Biafra agitation among Igbos is to allow Igbos produce the President so they can feel among. So Peter Obi knows that if he condemns or criticizes IPOB from now till eternity, nothing would change but instead he would lose millions of Igbo youth support who share similar sentiment with IPOB based on Igbo political marginalization in Nigeria.



And no other majority tribe in Nigeria will take the things Igbos have been subjected to politically in Nigeria, Yorubas nor Hausa-Fulanis or any other wont ever take it if we are honest to ourselves, I rest my case

These are all dirty political games played in Nigerian politics.



Now to address why Peter Obi doesn't condemn IPOB whenever there is an attack or killing in the Southeast attributed to IPOB by the federal government of Nigeria.


First, some deep intels have already proved that some of the attacks are state sponsored. Are you not aware of how Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma hired Asari Dokubo to supply him militia to help him fight unknown gunmen in Imo state which Asari himself even boasted off in one of his numerous unguarded rants. Those Asari Dokubo militants caused a lot of havoc in Imo State. Many of them got killed by those unknown gunmen who showed superiority to them in the battlefield that forced Hope Uzodinma to cancel the secret contract and part of the reasons Asari Dokubo hated Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB the more, he lost a lot of his militants before the contract got terminated and then Hope Uzodinma started the Tiger Base security that operates like terrorists.



These Tiger Base guys are so ruthless and unguarded to the extent that they even engage in cannibalism of captured suspected unknown gunmen as a way to instill fear in them and force them to seize their attacks.


This act further complicated the heightened insecurity in the Southeast as the unknown gunmen in retaliation started replicating the same cannibalism of captured Tiger Base members to also prove to Hope Uzodinma and his own gunmen that they are equal to the task.


Now another question you may ask is, who are unknown gunmen? Again, Imo State Governor in collaboration with Federal government created unknown gunmen, how? The brutal killing of Eastern Security Network (ESN) Commander Ikonso by a joint Taskforce comprising of Police, DSS, Army, Navy, AirForce, Civil Defense that invaded his hometown in Orlu at odd hour after he rejected the offer to withdraw from ESN and join Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma's security outfit caused many ESN members then to disperse and swore to revenge Ikonso's death which made Imo State Governor to relocate to Abuja and started moving about with Military convoy while he stayed inside an APC anytime he was visiting Imo State.


That was why Orlu became a hotbed of insecurity in Imo State and Southeast and it spread to neighboring Anambra state communities.


Hope Uzodinma is from Orlu, Ikonso the late ESN Commander is from Orlu same kindred with Hope Uzodinma. ESN guys invaded Hope Uzodinma's mansion in his hometown the day Ikonso was murdered and burnt the house, including exotic cars he parked there and that was how Orlu caught fire till date.


Instead of Hope Uzodinma to follow peaceful negotiation and maybe apology for the mistake of killing Ikonso instead of arresting him, he chose to collaborate with Buhari's federal government to use extreme force to try to quench the anger of the ESN members who had already dispersed to several parts of Southeast, this was how unknown gunmen was birthed in the Southeast as those ESN guys continued a guerrilla warfare against Nigerian security by attacking their checkpoints saying they should leave Southeast entirely and stop mounting checkpoints to exploit Igbos.


From there, different interest groups which varying interest started exploiting the situation to their advantage, Simon Ekpa being a loyal IPOB member endorsed by Nnamdi Kanu during his freedom time saw the leadership gap as an opportunity to make money for himself and also build his own popularity by capitalizing on enforcing the previous voluntary sit-at-home using some senseless youths.


I am sure you know how ESN was formed? Kanu formed it out of his desire to secure Southeast region from rising Fulani herdsmen attacks then, after Southwest Governors formed Amotekun causing Igbos to start begging Southeast Governors to follow Southwest Governors by forming an Eastern Security Outfit. Nnamdi Kanu kept blasting Southeast Governors to follow Southwest Governors and do same but they paid deaf ear because Buhari was deceiving Dave Umahi with a fake promise that he would make sure he succeeded him, so Dave Umahi started discouraging other Southeast Governors from making an attempt to create a Southeast security network. As Igbos continued to cry for help, Nnamdi Kanu decided to wage in by forming the Eastern Security Network, ESN and even invited Southeast Governors to come and take over and use it to secure Southeast like the Yoruba Governors are doing for Southwest.


Instead of Southeast Governors to adopt and take over ESN, they rather started attacking them using federal government sponsored security. This worsened the situation in Southeast.



So Peter Obi condemning IPOB for any attack in Southeast alleged to be by IPOB is a waste of time, he knows this cos he knows the origin of the problem and how to stop it.


On why Igbos want Peter Obi and some also agitating for Biafra.


First let me let you understand that Igbos don't hate any tribe in Nigeria, what we don't like is how some tribes or region have been consistent in cheating and marginalizing Igbos and Southeast region in federal politics. It has caused slow development in Southeast, poor federal infrastructure and presence, which angers most Igbo youths of today including myself.


What is bad in having fully functional seaports in all regions of Nigeria that have the capability to host one or two? Is it not for the betterment of Nigeria and Nigerians? Why are federal government infrastructures, roads, facilities, etc in the Southeast always in the worst state than any other region? Why is it a crime for an Igbo man to become IG of Police, Chief Justice of Nigeria, Defense Minister, etc? These are things that worry every reasonable Igbo youth, we keep wondering why? Why cant an Igbo person become President? Why must an Igbo person travel all the way to Lagos or Abuja before he can import goods or travel abroad or do certain things, why cant he do it in his region like Enugu or Owerri or something?


These are the things that make Igbos feel marginalized and cheated in Nigeria and when they complain about these issues, Nigerians, especially Yorubas brush it aside and rather accuse Igbos of victim mentality whereas these are facts and realities that calls for solution instead of making it look normal. Will Yorubas accept such treatment? Will Hausa-Fulanis accept it? As Nigerian government under none Igbo Presidents fail to address these issues, Igbos then believe that maybe if an Igbo person emerges President, he would address these issues and make Igbos feel belonged, so this is the reason Igbos believed that Peter Obi emerging as President would help address issues of political inequalities in Nigeria.


In the absence of the above, some Igbos believe that the best way to solve the political inequalities in Nigeria is through complete division of the Nigerian state into various entities that make up Nigeria, from which Biafra would emerge and give Igbos the opportunity to be in charge of their political welfare and direction which Nigeria failed to give them.


So if Peter Obi had emerged President, it would have solved a lot of issues in Nigeria.


It would have killed and buried the issue of Biafra agitation in the Southeast because the major reason fueling Biafra agitation among Igbos is political marginalization and cheating since the end of the civil war in 1970. So if an Igbo person emerges President, Igbos have no other reason or moral right to cry of political marginalization but will rather shift the blame to the Igbo President if he fails to address some of the burning issues of marginalization in the Southeast.



Now this is why Peter Obi don't put mouth in IPOB matter. He knows why they are agitating for Biafra, every reasonable Igbo person knows why Igbos are agitating for Biafra; it is to stop the political marginalization against Igbos in Nigeria so that Igbos can leave Nigeria to form their own country and be completely in charge of their future and political direction. So the only way to kill Biafra agitation among Igbos is to allow Igbos produce the President so they can feel among. So Peter Obi knows that if he condemns or criticizes IPOB from now till eternity, nothing would change but instead he would lose millions of Igbo youth support who share similar sentiment with IPOB based on Igbo political marginalization in Nigeria.



And no other majority tribe in Nigeria will take the things Igbos have been subjected to politically in Nigeria, Yorubas nor Hausa-Fulanis or any other wont ever take it if we are honest to ourselves, I rest my case

You have no case.
In the usual Ibo way you wrote lots of half truths, innuendos and propaganda. It is the usual Ibo way of playing the ostrich and playing the victim.
However I give you one thing you were very civil in your postulation unlike so many of your fellow Ibo on this forum that believe insults and throwing tantrums will get them Nigeria presidency. I always try to tell them that abuse,violence,tantrums,insulting other tribes and their leaders will never get you Nigeria presidency. It will only alienate you and your aspirations. In fact the actions of Peter Obi's supporters called obidients has further alienated his future presidency ambitions but only time will tell.
As for all you wrote above of the various armed groups in Eastern Nigeria, I feel it paints a sad picture of the kind of dystopia that an independent Biafra would be. It would be worst than Somalia with numerous armed gangs ruling each neighbourhood with no central control. A complete multiverse of madness and insanity.

There is no living Igbo that enjoy the support that these two legends Prophet MNK and HE Peter obi does. They clearly portray the Igbo spirit, resillience and prudency.

Now, for the seccesionist, prophet MNK shows an aura only comparable to Malcolm X against black discrimination in old USA, George washington against the british colonist and off course, our own dear Jaja of Opopo!

For the Zikist One Nigeria lovers, HE peter Obi has shown he is a fiscally responsible man, well prepare to uhsher Nigeria into a new begining and squeaky clean by Western standards! HE Peter obi is not a drug bagman, neither is he a sanctioned drug offender nor an active CIA Asset spying on other Nigerian leaders!

Give it to the Igbos, their best is comparable to any Western person in like fields!

franchasofficia:
Monday sit-at-home in the Southeast is no longer a self imposed protest by the Easterners started during Buhari's arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB have already distanced themselves from it and even called it off officially, but the wicked Nigerian federal government working tirelessly to discredit Peter Obi and to make Southeast a replica of Northeastern Nigeria as a way of reducing Igbo people's socio-political and economic strength in the Nigerian dirty politics have continued to use state sponsored actors to enforce sit-at-home in Southeast.



Simon Ekpa is not Igbo people's favorite, that he enjoys some handful of lost Igbo youths support online doesn't make him an Igbo cherished Apostle. IPOB have sent delegates to Finland he refused to come out. He doesn't attend any IPOB hosted events in Europe or Finland, he moves about with white guards. Nigerian federal government have refused to seriously make efforts to get him arrested or held accountable because the APC led federal government is using him but uninformed people like you don't know all these.


Nnamdi Kanu that enjoyed many Igbo people's support used to come back to Nigeria, used to visit different European countries including America to host IPOB events and to meet with Igbos is Diaspora to discuss Biafra secession, but this APC sponsored Simon Ekpa who claims to be working for Igbo people refuses to associate with Igbos he claim to be fighting for.

IGBOPROMISE1:
Only a naive person recently emerged from under a rock wouldn’t know what’s going on here! The impostor masquerading as Igbo looks for yet another report of insecurity in the south-east (whether true or false) to kickstart another working week, and rushes to create a thread on it! Next thing, a certain mod with a certain disposition towards Igbos rushes it to front-page, and the usual Igbo-hating vipers (99% of whom are from one particular ethnicity in the south) fall over themselves to make one sanctimonious, bigoted, smug and gloating post after the other! It’s all aimed at trying to demarket the south-east so businesses and investments ignore/leave the region and go to the one of these Igbo-haters: it’s aimed at trying to demonise IPOB and Mazi Kanu in a bid to ‘justify’ the ‘terrorist’ tag their ally Buhari rushed to pin on the organisation; and it’s aimed at trying to take the wind out of the sails of the secessionist bid, seeing as these haters depend on the continued existence of ‘one Nigeria’ for them to exist! Nothing new here!

You nailed it perfectly.
