For mentioning IPOB, God will punish you. Idiot Ewu, Anu ofia.
May Amadi oha dissect you tonight

I think their backgrounds don't accommodate dissenting opinions.
If they give IPOB their Biafra today, it will be an authoritarian State like North Korea where people that express contrary opinions and/or dissenting views will be labeled 'traitors' and executed.
During the Civil War, those who were perceived to have contrary opinions from that of Ojukwu like Ifeajuana and Banjo were framed-up as traitors and murdered by firing squad.
Minorities and even some Igbos who were deemed unsympathetic to the Biafran course were called 'Sabos' and were sometimes murdered. Some were buried alive.

Officially Nigeria is a federation with diverse ethnic nationalities and many religions. It is also recognized that these ethnic nationalities have homelands. And for ease of administration every citizen of the federation is expected to identify with his ethnic homeland and by extension the state where the homeland is situated. It is on this basis that president Buhari does not build his home in Lokoja. For him to feel at home and realize his God - given potential he lives in Katsina, among his ethnic group.

Notwithstanding this, in line with human nature, a citizen of Nigeria is allowed to leave his ethnic homeland for any part of Nigeria that he so desires to pursue any economic activities of his choice. He is legally empowered to defend his fundamental human rights in the pursuit of his economic activities. And if he is able to identify with the aspirations of the people among whom he lives he may be allowed to to occupy a political office and contribute to the development of the place he lives.

With time a well - established non - indigene may invite his kindred to partake in the prosperity of his new homeland, as distinct from his ethnic homeland. As time goes by the population of the non - indigenes may grow to such an extent that they become a community. With this latest development two things may happen: 1) the new community may be distinct and isolated from the indigenous community or 2) the new community may be assimilated into the indigenous community.

In the case of the latter there is little or no serious friction in the new emerging community. However most of the inter - ethnic crisises arise in the former.

For the the distinct and different community, the crisis takes a dangerous dimension when the indigenous community is threatened or felt threatened by it. And violence may erupt when the distinct and different community openly propagates their supremacy over the indigenous community duly recognized by the law.

To check this, new community of a different and distinct people must be at peace with their host community.
They should avoid setting up a hate and supremacy organization such as Ipob that is creating crisis between Igbo and most of their host communities.
