U will eventually be raped and your pussay will massacred with bullets by the Nigerian army. and ur god NnamdiKanu will still b captured like a chicken

Why haven't the FG deployed soldiers to northern states where Irate youths, hostile religious fanatics and menacing herdsmen originate from.
I am not Nnamdi Kanu's fan but in my opinion I'd say that the FG is inadvertently making the guy a hero as stories about his activities or anything that concerns him make headlines in every news source. Even people that hate the guy And what he is fighting for are drunk with stories about him. They can't resist making input whenever his issue arises.

His cravings have suddenly turned to an ideology and judging from historical evidence or rather facts, it's difficult if not impossible to end certain ideologies with military might or intimidation. Military suppression can only bring a temporary relief. Especially when you are dealing with people who are largely seen as unarmed and defenseless. Dialogue would have achieved much easily and on a long term.

My humble opinion though

...the difference between Boko Haram and iPOB is that Boko Haram is armed and violent and were mindlessly abducting students, raiding and killing innocent civilians whereas IPOB is widely seen as non violent even despite glaring provocations. IPOB detainees are seen as prisoners of conscience rather than lawbreakers especially hen compared with Boko Haram.

The Non violent approach that IPOB preaches despite countless intimidations is making their popularity spread like wildfire. Can't you see that they have gained a positive recognition of Ohaneze Ndigbo and the attention of South Eastern Governors. can't you see that South Eastern NASS members are showing sympathy without knowing it by calling for demilitarising of SE. They are waiting for who will bell the cat.
