The Beginning Of The End Of The Ipob by Eddygourdo(m): 4:05pm On Dec 02, 2015 |
I blame every previous and present government of Nigeria for creating idleness in our youths, I blame the youths of this generation for taking up idleness in comfort, I blame mobile and smart phones with cheap data for making idleness seem attractive, I blame the Nigerian government for not using better techniques to shut down an illegal radio with hate messages and finally I blame the devil for using igbo minds as his workshop as well as a short, shallow memory. That has forgotten the past The rise in violence at ipob rallies as evidenced on some threads has finally proven that the end is nigh for this ill timed struggle. I personally have seen violence, seen death, death in thousands of imaginative ways, experienced that feeling of a war torn people, went hungry for weeks while the dead littered, and as soon I my legs could carry me, I ran from violence. Chinua achebe of blessed memory used his book there was a country, to re-highlight on the social ills facing the country as well as the constant marginalisation and I'll treatment of the Igbos which occurred pre- civil war, during the war and post civil war. Shame the world never learned from it nor gave it it's true interpretation as a catalyst for change in this nation. Yet they ignored the interpretations of nnamdi kanu and his ipob group. I say the end has come for ipob because when the shit hits the fan, their blood will fill up our roads and pics of their starving children will fill up the Internet with tears and pleas of genocide, yet the Igbos do not realise that today we are stirring the hornets nest, we aren't violent people, we love to travel and establish is far away cities in hope for business opportunities, idleness thanks to the current economic downturns, lost jobs, dis enfranchisement from the current political scheme of things have all helped to fuel an agenda the Igbos abandoned as a plausible solution for more that 35 years. I believed and hoped that it will never come to this point, that point that Highlighted the flaw observed in the coup of 1966, where a noble cause was implemented with a fatal omission, thus creating an ethnic divide in its consequences which resulted in the pogroms and the war is currently being missed again by the ipob. NOBODY HAS THE MONOPOLY TO VIOLENCE OF ACTION OR REACTION. And most importantly HE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES NEVER THROWS STONES. The aftermath of the coup brought not just igbo deaths, yorubas and other minorities were killed as well in great numbers, the second pogrom targeted mainly the Igbos and later all other tribes joined hands to either fight the war or sabotage Biafran war efforts. I think the current forgetfulness of my people on the effects and sufferings of that war was the NO VICTOR NO VANQUISHED declaration which makes us forget we actually lost the war and begged the world for an end to it. Every region has rights to desire a seccesion at any period PEACEFULLY, look at the Scottish case, no war or violence or protest has done the trick, look at the catalan case and same is observed. To assume and threaten the nation of violence in the ojukwu style (there was actually no bullet, yet he declared we had arms to defeat africa) is an outdated approach and I doubt other regions or Nigeria will fold their hands and Watch any hair drop from their people, properties or force unit. The Igbos who have thousands of properties, people and businesses scattered around the nation can have the idiocy of setting a mosque on fire or trucks belonging to aturu awusa dangote, but they forget there is next to nothing investment by other tribes in igbo land and the population of other tribes in igbo land is infinitesimal. Yet we assume that if violence became the order of the day, that we will have the upper hand. Yet you all have no bullets in ur homes in preparation for war, nor do you have any grain in your barn. I really feel dissapointed This thread is meant to hopefully desensitise the igbo youth that violence will never be a solution to our agitation, that we Igbos are a resourceful people and thus should use our brains and stop acting like the follow follow aturu awusa people we mock and call ndi iberibe, stop the protests so you don't incurr the might of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA, that might will include Long jail term for nnamdi kanu State of emergency in affected states Federal troops deplored with long curfews Shoot at sight order on unruly elements Rape and molestation of our people by soldiers Shame of submission after all bravado and bradadiscio And after every every humiliation has been meted out, we still live in the zoo with greater marginalisation and political irrelevance cos of another failed attempt. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE. LEARN TODAY BY ADVICE SO YOU DON'T LEARN TOMMOROW FROM YOUR FOLLIES 16 Likes 2 Shares |

cocoduck:With your own comment you have rendered a very respected ibeto USELESS not obj. obj could not stop ibeto but rather the business style of dangote and ibeto are totally different. Do you think if ibeto had financial loans and management staff at the back of dangote he will not "blow" Now the reason you know about dangote is his cement. And ibeto is also going into it without any limitations. You again by your comment degrading innosons efforts asas "useless Igbo". It is rather unfortunate You think if innoson motors was either a northern or western company ,mehn they will celebrate it to whoever cares to listen! But for all the youths involved in today's nonsense,nonsense........ and finally I blame the devil for using igbo minds as his workshop as well as a short, shallow memory.

TruthisGOD:am not bro. Can you truly say that the protests for all intents was peaceful? A protest made at the backdrop of zoo chants, derogatory remarks and threats of violence if the goal isn't achieved? Maybe you should read up on crowd control procedures by the armed forces then you will understand why some people had to die. 1 Like |

Eddygourdo: These is one reason I want Ndiigbo out of Nigeria and support the IPOB and MAASOB since Nigerian educational system is nothing to write home about though. Per the bolded, who are "we"? Please it is wise to maintain some form of clarity. You find it at home to write Igbo and Igbo people and very hard and shameful to mention or write your dull ethnicity in the same context. 1 Like |
