IPOB DIPLOMACY: THE RIGHT BEHAVIOR OF A PROSPECTUS STATE ACTOR.

All over the world, no one takes unserious those groups who are agitating for a separate state. The behaviors of the group(s) is paramount to the global community as they are the pseudo Government of the proposing state. Their internal and external behaviors culminate into what the proposing state would look like.

For a decade plus now, IPOB has been monitored and scrpted in her behaviors. Her internal behaviors which are embedded in descipline and focus have attracted global sympathies to her side as no nation or lovers of freedom would wish to identify with uncultured and confused people. IPOB has proven to many countries that she could manage a state better than what is known today as Government of Nigeria. Her descipline, sound management skills which is unofficially certified by the Brittenwood institution, her organigram and organogram which run her day to day activities make her a worthy metamorphosing state actor Government.

I am always keen on the way IPOB runs her Diplomacy than any other activities of hers. For I know that external relationship could make or mar whatever we are welcoming soon as Biafran state. I have been following US, EU, AU and countries of interests' responses on Biafra as being propelled by IPOB. For instance, against all odds, US and allied refused to by the idea of terrorists tag on IPOB. African countries equally followed suit despite pressure from the "giant of Africa".

EU on her own made a further revelation by telling the world that she and "other embassies" are in discussion with IPOB under Nnamdi Kanu. That statement by EU last month got my head further up as that spoke volume to the struggle. To butress a better point, Emmanuel Macron of France against the plea of Aso Rock told her to activate internal solution (dialogue with IPOB) to Nigeria problem. Stupid pride and fear makes Nigeria Government not to think on the line of dialoguing with IPOB.

PRIDE
Yes pride of how a country will be talking to their "slaves" on separation affairs. The Fulani ruling elites are in psychological jeopardy over how they will be on a table with those they "conquered during the war" talking of Biafra. It is seriously depressing to their ego. But the engagement of IPOB by regional blocs like EU, AU and others who are far better than them, gives them a serious ache. If US, EU and other embassies are finding it worth engaging with IPOB, Nigeria feels terribly backstabbed by them. In no distance time, her pride will fail her!

FEAR
Fear of getting to the table with a group that is not soft-pedaling on Biafra grips Nigeria. Nigeria has never had smart good diplomats who are train to have mastery over state craft. What she has in her stocks are bunch of coffee takers in her various foreign missions. No wonder all her internal crises are solved or resolved by contracted foreign negotiators. Her lack of sound minds to meet Biafra diplomats sends her into jittery. No wonder even her highest prosecutor could not face Biafra lawyer Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor in her own court. Nigeria fears her diplomats negotiating with IPOB will lead to "blunder of Aburi". What she feels to understand is that we are ready to negotiate on Biafran course even with their foreign rented negotiator.

IPOB MUST BE COMMENDED
Today's notice by IPOB publicity Secretary (Emma Powerful), informing us of the ongoing discussions with many world bodies and representatives is indeed a good one. The statement reads in part:

"At this present time, we are engaged in sensitive discussions with institutions, governments and agencies around the world. They need to be reassured that under no circumstances will any aspect of our deliberations be divulged to a third party or made public without their prior consent and approval. The same principle applies in our meetings with Igbo leaders until a joint final communique is issued" -IPOB

This great move is great, a great indication that we are enjoying great recognition by powers that be in international Diplomacy. Our engagements with Governments of the world shows that if we lobby well, our referendum result will be recognized by many countries. And that will help us greatly. This aspect of the struggle has been a concern to me which the above statement by Emma Powerful has enriched my joy. Even the engagement with the Igbo leaders and other non Igbo leaders are great job.

IPOB has proven to be accountable to the people. The announcement is an indication that we are building a country that is going to run an open system in domestic and international Diplomacy. Great nation! We are indeed proving that we are creating a state in opposite point with the zoo(Nigeria).

Congratulations to we all for the news!


Early morning blow to afonjas! Yoruba Muslims oya make una converge here!

IPOB died with Derico a long time ago

The afonjas are coming with fear and trepidation, mention Biafra and they arrive to cry

Oduduwa died with adedibu the rogue long time ago..

Herdsmen:

Wish you freedom

Is it the same IPOB we know or another one?

Maybe you meant R-IPOB. LOL.

Mentioning the words diplomacy and IPOB in the same sentence is an abnormality.

It's no news but Igbos will never get Biafra if they rely on IPOB to get it for them.

Saner people from Igbo should convene and form a more sensible organization that will realize this for them.

Forget about MASSOB and IPOB. They are as dead as a door nail.

This really a terrible blow to afonja Muslims!

Are you saying ipob more a diplomatic than Nigeria government?

How

this your statement justify that you copy and paste.

In Nigeria, there is no "gentleman's way" of getting things, Nigeria is not a country of gentlemen. If you want something, you have to be radical about it. That's why:

Niger Delta Avenger took up arms, killed people, blew up oil installations and kidnapped expatriates. The Federal Government rewarded them well with money and amnesty programmes worth billions.

OPC took up arms, killed people, burnt police stations, destroyed properties and killed Police men. They were rewarded with security jobs and their leader, Gani Adam's holds the highest title in Yoruba land


Herdsmen took up AK 47, slaughtered people like Christmas fowl, sacked communities, drove people out. Today, the talk is how to reward them with billions of Naira worth of investments in ranching.

Nigeria is a messed up country where government only respects violence, it is the only language they understand.

IPOB were the only people who decided not to to take up arms, not to kill people and destroy property like the others did. That's why the government did not take them serious and moved on them. However, I happy they didn't take up arms for what they are fighting for is far more important than what others above were fighting for.


Only IPOB can get Biafra, only them brought attention to Biafra like nobody else could.

Ojukwu was the first that brought attention to Biafra. How did that go? Devastation in the east with over a million Igbos dead.

Next, Nnamdi Kanu came with IPOB threatening Nigeria with fire and brimstone. How's that going for you? Nnamdi Kanu is missing in action and his people are in disarray. More Igbos have been killed.

What will you try next?

How many Igbos will be killed before you understand that violence isn't the honorable path to secession?

If you start stocking up arms and ammunitions starting from today, it will take you decades and decades and trillions of dollars to get close to Nigeria in military capacity.

You can never ever win a war against Nigeria. Take that to the bank.

But if you think I'm lying, why don't you give it a try again. This time it won't be operation python dance, it will be operation annihilation. And you'll have yourselves to blame.

So your yoruba people are content with waiting for death instead of fighting?

What exactly is your logic here? That Ojukwu failed means that everyone will fail? So what you are trying to say is that if your father tried, and failed to make money, when you grow up, you should not try and make money because your father failed at it? Stupid logic

Next, Nnamdi Kanu came with IPOB threatening Nigeria with fire and brimstone. How's that going for you? Nnamdi Kanu is missing in action and his people are in disarray. More Igbos have been killed.

Nnamdi Kanu was threatening Nigeria with fire and brimstone? That's just to show how messed Nigeria is as a country. An unarmed man like Kanu issues verbal threats. Your Governments sends in the Army, kill people and declare him a terrorist. Niger Delta Avenger go beyond threats, take up arms, kill people, blow up oil installations. What did your government do? You reward them with billions in amnesty programmes

Herdsmen take up AK 47, slaughter people everywhere, sack communities, drive people out of their land. What does your government do? They are talking about rewarding the Herdsmen with billions in ranching investments. Your messed up country is rewarding killers but going after those making threats? How laughable

The only people who talk about war are you Nigerians. The Biafran agitators are talking about referendum. If you Nigerians don't know the difference between referendum and war, consult Google. The Nigeria you are praising in war can't even defeat Boko Haram after 8 years, it is the Biafrans they will perform magic against? Laughable

The Biafran agitators are unarmed, non violent and insist on their right of self determination via referendum.

Her descipline, sound management skills which is unofficially certified by the Brittenwood institution, her organigram and organogram which run her day to day activities make her a worthy metamorphosing state actor Government.

What discipline? What management skills? Have any of their members run and win a local elections talkless of a state election and govern it successfully.

The Brittenwood institution if indeed they made this statement are a foolish institution.

The only truth here is that people are armed and killing people while others like you think the real problem are those who are unarmed and are yet to touch anyone.

Go through history books and you will find out that the Igbos gave the Nigerian army with all their military might a run for their money, I can remember one author who quoted Gowon as saying "it is a police action that wouldn't take up to 3 months", but you and I knows how that turned out.
So ascribing invincibility to d Nigerian armed forces that couldn't deal with the I'll equipped and ill prepared Biafran army is the height of stupidity and ignorance

What do you know, you that were born yesterday?

You can pick up arms again and lets see how far.

The unfortunate thing is that there are many reasonable Igbos offline who don't know the disservice you guys on Nairaland are doing to their tribe.

"For instance, against all odds, US and allied refused to by the idea of terrorists tag on IPOB. African countries equally followed suit despite pressure from the "giant of Africa".

The truth they say, shall set you free!

Even Macron told FG yo embrace dialogue! I wish our president is young, vibrant and wise!

But not Buhari, someone who should be mourning is seen jubilating and even campaigning for the next elections

No empathy, action or reaction!

A curse be on Tinubu and any other person who wants to impose this tyrant and blood sucker on Nigerians one more time!

Xander85:

You mean this guy?

Newsflash! He is Yoruba. And he's also a Christian. Catholic to be precise. That's why he speaks the truth as he sees it.

Where were you when Nnamdi Kanu was soliciting for arms?

Where were you when he asked Igbos to kill all Yorubas and Hausas wherever they see them?

Where were you when he started putting together a military force to burn Nigeria to the ground?

Asleep?

IPOB has done what useless SE/SS govs have failed to do and what Ohaneze is too corrupt to do.... It’s too bad so many people that IPOB is fighting for, because of selfish and insincere they say they are not in support of Biafra or their history.


Foolish people


But we thank the almighty that we are getting to the promise land small small...

Lol....... u just raised a good point that I was born yesterday, which is a testament that you don't know what history is all about, so u don't qualify to engage with me on a meaningful debate about what precipitated the War, how it was fought n d rest. So I suggest that you go and make your own research b4 u come online to embarrass yourself on a kid that was born yesterday, and while you are at it, read about the Abagana massacre.
So stop deluding yourself thinking about disservice coz unlike you, we Igbo's knows what we want and how we want it.
This is d only reply u will get 4rm me
