[s]Am I to understand that a peaceful gathering, assembly or rally of individuals is deliberate provocation unto death in your books? In other words, those cold-blooded murderers are justifiably provoked to shed blood and murder innocent persons because they gathered in a place?

Remember that this rally was in support of Trump for his inauguration as US President, how is that secessionist? Does the Nigerian state and her armed forces have a problem with the US and DonaldTrump as President?

IPOB do not represent Igbos, though they create such impression. Buhari is not goading Igbos, rather it's the igbos that have promised not to give the president a breathing space right from day one of his presidency.
After 4 or at most 8 years Buhari will go but Nigeria would still remain.
All these unnecessary provocative actions will not bring about a positive end.

Are you insane? Which constitution in any part of the world prohibits people from having and exercising their rights to self determination? before Nigeria there was the Igbo nation so don't come here and preach that rubbish here, when this ipob guys start shooting back at your hopeless security forces, you already how the madness began...while you are at it, why not tell us how the security forces your useless country has never seem to show this much commitment and aggression when Fulani herdsmen are running amok? why shoot at innocent women and youths marching peacefully, I hope you die a slow and painful death...your fate is sealed this year.

Buhari is goading the igbo.., angling to force the igbo into a situation where a war becomes inevitable... Astonished at the incredible recovery made after the last fiasco, he somehow thinks that a confrontation will provide his evil forces an opportunity to level the south east.. Buhari seems to have forgotten a lot quickly; the Igbo NEVER really waged a war against Nigeria or anybody. A coup happened, a progrom followed and the federal forces that are supposed to protect the innocent civilians from the butchery happening all over Nigeria ganged up with all sorts of tribalists to unleash an armed conflict on the east. Whatever that happened in the east was basically a series of quickly organised actions for self defense.. The igbo has not really decided to engage Nigeria. when the igbo man makes up his mind on that front, that war will be fought in such places as Sokoto and Kaduna and not in Onitsha and Portharcourt.., and when it is over, all of us in this country will learn one or two from it,,.. An intellectually starved fulani fundamentalist parading his empty self as the president of this bundle of embarrassment called Nigeria can not be spilling the innocent blood of igbo hardworking youths and expect everything to be okay..

The Nigerian civil war, unlike other wars across international boundaries, was a war of unification, a war of reintegration. It was therefore a much more difficult war for the Federal field commanders to prosecute with the objectives of unification in mind than wars fought against aggressors on foreign land. The human aspect was paramount. It was a contradiction and complication not easy to resolve - how to fight causing only limited destruction, how to inflict wounds and heal at the same time, how to subdue without fatal and permanent injuries, how to feed and house civilian population without exposing our troops to danger and risk of saboteurs and infiltrators, how to achieve surrender without inflicting permanent or long lasting psychological humiliation.

You dont make a point by insults. Grow up already.

And no, those are not unarmed civilians. Rather vagabond senseless areas boys that delude themselves that they can challenge security personnel

I don't agree with u sir..U shuld be talking of solutions to the problems dey face in dere region ad nigeria dat made dem wanna secessed from dis country.
If not..nigeria shuld be redy to kill more of dem ad if the killings triggers anoder civil war be assured dat other regionz will see it as a golden opportunity to break away as well.

Just solve dere problemz and watch dere seccessiont agenda die a natural death..I feel dis guys have d power to break Nigeria or make Nigeria one united ad prosperous.
And d north must drop dere provocative sentence of dose dat want war ar dose dat didnt witness d civil war..The yung ibo youths I know ar peaceful,dey don't want war but dey ar redy to go to war for the development of dere region ad justice.
Just ask urself when ad how d protest started..

blackpanda:


If you challenge security forces and disrupt public peace causing danger to lives and property, you will be killed. It is lawful. If u must protest, then do it in peace and make sure it is not hijacked by hoodlums.

dokyOloye:
The way U ppl reason eee.
Igbos decided not to give Buhari breathing space?
How?
By organising non violent protests once in a while, meanwhile fulani herdsmen are murdering ppl all over d country,prices of goods have all gone up.
Wc one shld be of more concern to Buhari.
IPOB does not represent all Igbos but d way buhari is handling it has surely bought them d sympathy of most if not all Igbos.
Where on earth do U hear of d army opening fire on non violent protesters in this decade?
Only in few banana republics.

I agree with you, there is nothing like self-determination in yoruba muslim skulls. The defeat of oyo empire by fulani and further enslavement with Emirates wiped it away from yoruba skulls.

Ballmer:


If the intention of the Nigeria army was to destroy native Igbo land trust me with poor or no insightful ingenuity or management from black African or any of it's leaders you will have no place to call a homeland till date and that is putting it mildly. So forget about your chest beating you pride yourself on. Nigeria actually gave you hope when you were hopeless, gave you a human face when you were suppose to have been crushed.


http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/report/1992/AAA.htm

Do you know what a surrender is ? The mighty USA with all is intelligence and weaponry is still unable to defeat a handful of ragtag Taliban spanning several decades now in Afghanistan till date.

That is what brilliance is about, a leader's ingenuity. That is what the East lacked during and after the war. Someone with a brain, all you had and still have are handful of lily-livered boastful asswipe as leaders. Your fore father in the like of Ojukwu and others bragged harder than you are doing at the moment they forget bragging was not war tactic or skill. We are talking about when you were fairly / well represented in the Nigeria army not relying on some Ipob miscreant to prosecute your cause. What you could not achieve when you had Igbo men of steel, how do you achieve that with only Ipob miscreants ?

Do not also forget the hate and scorn with which you comment is mutual btw the FG and "Biafra". No be only Biafra sabi hate.
