IPOB Pyrrhic Victory And Sit-at-home Orders by EILTD(m): 9:02am On Sep 16, 2021 |
By Paul Iwunwa Credit: Facebook From dishing out terrorism with the ESN brigade to implementing phyric sit-at-home orders in the South East, it has become clear that IPOB‘s vision is to visit Ndigbo with death and destruction. History has taught us, that when a group or movement emerges with fascist propaganda in mind, it usually ends up swallowing those it seeks to fight for. IPOB is Jewish in orientation and just like the Nazi and Taliban, her leadership is headed by myopic individuals whose ideology has over time shown it enjoys retrogression. Everything about IPOB speaks backwardness — no to freedom of speech, no to freedom of association, no to divergent views and lifestyle, and no to multi-plural religious and cultural beliefs. But despite all these, one must give credit to how IPOB spreads its propaganda. The following are the methods used by IPOB to control the thoughts and minds of its support base. 1. Political Gangsterism IPOB became the voice of opposition to Buhari's APC after the defeat of beloved Jonathan in the 2015 general elections. By using emotions to arouse and win a large support base, the group became a rallying point by failed politicians who used them to mudsling at the government. And while President Buhari made the group popular by not being magnanimous in victory — largely by his 5% speech and subsequent alienation of Ndigbo into top positions in his government, IPOB ranks swelled as more people became ardent listeners to the hateful messages of Radio Biafra. And from the first arrest and imprisonment of Kanu to the Operation Python Dance in the South East, the APC administration made herself hated by many neutrals who were already sceptical about IPOB’s approaches. President Buhari’s tactlessness became IPOB’s gain. 2. Scaremongering Manipulating the thoughts of the average Igbo with Fulani herdsmen onslaught to gain control of their soul. IPOB made use of this strategy to make inroads into the South East. This method was used to form the ESN that metamorphosed into the UGM terrorising the east today. 3. Whataboutism Using negative happenings elsewhere to justify her actions in the Southeast. For example, if a violent group commits an offence and gets away with it, IPOB too would try to copy such acts by pointing to what others have done. The government kid-gloves handling of the herdsmen problem seems to be a yardstick IPOB emphasizes when diverting attention from its perceived wrongs. IPOB first began by using the insurgency approach of the Niger-Delta militants and Boko-Haram to take up arms against the government. Of course, we might understand that self-defence was needed by the group against the incessant extra-judicial killings by the Police and Military against its members. But rather than simply forge towards its professed non-violent agitation, the ESN formed by IPOB became an insurgent wing used by the group to forcefully and illegally gain control of the South-East. From hoodwinking the masses that the establishment of ESN was to fight the Fulani herdsmen, IPOB showed its true intention by creating anarchy in the land. First by killing Police officers on the highways, then burning Police stations and government assets, and next freeing prisoners who now constitute the majority of the UGM and sit-at-home enforcers. 4. Threats and Force The draconian sit-at-home orders and threats to neutralize offenders is the biggest political victory of IPOB over the people of the South-East. Like a dog protecting its owner, IPOB has made sure that movement is restricted in Igboland to the extent of biting those that contravene its rule. This is the norm in the South-East today. From using MASSOB's successful sit-at-home order to showing civil disobedience against the federal government, IPOB now uses a radical version of this method to show supremacy. It has succeeded in grounding economic activities to a halt, lynching defaulters, chasing out students from exam halls and scattering the wares of traders in the markets. How far these tactics continue will determine the existence of the group. Will Ndigbo support this pyrrhic victory or will they rise against the group to avert another repeat of history?

Mr op,have you ever in your life write the atrocities committed by bandits in the Northwest and fulani herdsmen in the south,but you are quick to write about Ipob than haven't kill anybody,I ask again,are you alright 3 Likes |

edochie12:Whataboutism is exhibited from your comment. Fulani herdsmen topic have been written about severally. Both that of bandits and boko-haram. So because IPOB is the topic at hand now means we should allow the fire burn and divert attention to Fulani herdsmen. It's similar to allowing the rat eat the provisions at home because the snake is eating the eggs in the barn. This is IPOB logic. 3 Likes |

All these nonsense you guys are writing now. When the military and police opened fire at innocent protesters carrying just flag, we did not see your super constructed epistles. You even celebrated when they were proscribed and called them terrorists Biafra. You continued killing them until they decided to defend themselves. All of a sudden, you are writing apocalyptic epistle. Nwanne jee laa mili. 3 Likes |

I laugh at people who make stupid write up's like this. You say that ESN are UGM but you cannot show one single proof to that effect beyond mere rumour You say that IPOB is forcing millions of people across 5 states to sit at home against their will but you cannot state how IPOB managed to do this with all the Army and Police out there? How would IPOB be able to shut down the largest market in West Africa, situated in Onitsha, when the traders far outnumber them? You say that IPOB is a terrorist group but hardly will you see any Igbo man agree. It is usually those who are neither from the South East nor are resident there that will call IPOB a terror group from as far as Kaduna. All the insecurity in the South East is not up to what is happening in just Southern Kaduna Let us call a spade a spade. If Nigeria was anchored on justice, equity and fairness, there would be no IPOB. But you cannot run a system built on falsehood, marginalisation and injustice and expect peace, life is not that way. IPOB is a direct reflection of the Nigerian state characterised by injustice Restructure Nigeria, they say no Give us a new constitution that will be fair to all, they say no Conduct referendum to see who wants to continue with Nigeria and who wants to go, they say no. And you expect people to take that? IPOB is not the problem, Nigeria is the problem 6 Likes |

ezinwaJesu:And who told you people didn't write about the extra-judicial killings of IPOB members? So because Police killed you, you’ll now turn your anger on the peaceful South-East? Beheading dissenting voices and murdering those who dare break the sit-at-home orders? Clap for yourself. |

I couldn't read past the first line of the trash article. If you believe the abokey rubbish that IPOB are terrorist, then you are not worth having a discussion with. Only Fulani terrorists and their agents see IPOB as terrorists. If you claim to be Igbo and hate Biafra, go to your kindred meeting and convert your kinsmen to Biafra haters. I wish your skull goodluck, and prays it survives the attendant pummelling you will receive. |
