In September 2017, the indigenous people of Biafra was a group peacefully agitating for Biafra in the South East and some parts of the South/South. They were not armed and had no record of touching anyone. There was some complaints that they sometimes constitute traffic nuisance as their rallies blocked the road, but thats no different to the present political rallies that do the same

So what changed? Why did things change?

In Early September 2017, Buhari returned from one his many medical trips abroad, and rather than address serious security issues such as the herdsmen from his tribe killing people all over the place, or Boko haram and ISWAP, Buhari declared 'operation python dance' against peaceful Biafran agitators in the South East.

Soldiers descended on the place and started killing and brutalising people. They invaded Nnamdi Kanu's house to kill him, an unarmed man who only had a Radio Station and his mouth, and killed many people in his compound. The Government then swiftly declared IPOB a terrorist group

Naturally, the USA, UK, EU, Ohanaeze and the international community wondered why an unarmed group that touched nobody, should be declared terrorists, and swiftly denounced the declaration against IPOB. To this day, nobody in the international community considers IPOB to be a terror group

Peter Obi was not left out, he was interviewed in September 2017 by Channels Tv, and he too disagreed that IPOB was a terrorist group. How does any sensible person expect Obi or anyone else, to agree that a peaceful group are terrorists?

With operation python dance, government brought violence into a peaceful movement. For IPOB peacefully expressing their wish for a separate state of Biafra, violence was visited on them, hundreds of their members killed, thousands detained and tortured.

Today, there are no longer peaceful in South East, violence has taken over. Why would any democratic government bring violence where there is peace? Now there is no peace

That was in 2017 when IPOB was unarmed there was no ESN I am sure Peter Obi will have a different opinion of IPOB of today.

owobokiri:

Even today with ESN and co, IPOB is still NOT a terrorist organization!
That's the fact! ESN was set up to checkmate the ethnic cleansing jihad of the janja-weed Fulani herdsmen! I don't know what you guys wanted the SE to do! Stand akimbo and watch as a bunch of uncircumcised philistines butcher to no end?
How many fulani herdsmen responsible for all the massacres that has occurred in this country over the last 8 years have been arrested, prosecuted and jailed!? So if the government is not doing her job of securing lives and properties, what are the citizens supposed to do?

greenermodels:
It's funny that Biafrans don't see IPOB as terrorists but non Biafrans are the ones crying over this issue that doesn't concern them. The terrorists we know today in Nigeria are the Fulani bandits yet Tinubu always defends them while his deputy is a well known Book Haram commander, Atiku is a Fulani who supports grabbing people's lands for Fulani through open grazing. The only candidate free from all traces of terrorism is Peter Obi. Nigerians, vote wisely.

Difrent:


MASSOB started peaceful biafra agitation.
What did peter Obi do to them?...... he unleashed CSP Nwafor to kill them and dump their bodies in Ezu river.
Today same PO is now exonerating a group that have clearly shown the whole world they are Terrorist.
In the history of struggle for freedom Its only IPOB that cries of harassment intimidation and killing of its members.....what a shame......do you think secession agitation is a child's play?
You want to challenge the existence of a sovereign nation and expect them to just look at you..... thats why everyone knows IPOB agitation is borne out of mischief and inability to accept the result of a democratic election....and instead of going to court decide to take up arms.....nothing more.
How else will you explain the violence all over the south east. There's nothing peaceful in what IPOB was doing from insulting other tribes and calling their leaders names to directing followers to attack leaders of other tribes and destroy their properties to absurdly attacking and destroying igboland......killing and destroying properties of the same people you claim you want to liberate....while pretending its fulanis that are doin the killing and ordinary citizens like you justify it by saying since bandits are killing northerners in the north and the government is not doing anything about it so ibos too should be killing themselves.
Never seen a more foolish group pretending to be doing good

Difrent:


You claim Buhari is not addressing security issues against bandits and BH..... but he have not done 1/10th of what our soldiers are doing to other terrorist to ipob you have started crying.
The govern ment is just showing you the how they are not dealing with terrorist now.....how they have been playing with terrorists by deploying soldiers and jets to play with them.

BH started by Yusuf started like this and its only a foolish government that will stand by and allow that...... even PO wont allow that irrespective of if he wants to dialogue with them or not....he won't allow them be a power on their own.....he has done it before against MASSOB and will do it to ipob.
He just released that negotiation statement in order not to lose 99% of his followers who are Ipobians turn obidients. He want them to keep their support so at least he may be able to gather more votes than Sowore and come maybe 6th position

Boko haram took up against the Nigerian State after security agents arrested their members, extra-judicially executed them, and publicly executed their leader Yusuf

Difrent:


You still dont get it.....there can not be any non state actor challenging the government that the government will allow....no government.....not even PO will allow that as can be seen with what he did with MASSOB.
Stop giving excuse for secessionists.
SAY NO TO SECESSIONISTS
No single part of Nigeria that dont have agitations.... I mean there are agitations even in USA UK GERMANY SPAIN ETC so whta ipob is doing is not novel but they should stop being cry babies and face whatever agitators face worldwide which is prosecution and persecution

gidgiddy:


You reason like this because you are an African. Peaceful agitation/protest is an important part of democracy. It is the difference between democracy and dictatorship.

paramakina202:

Perfectbeing:
I dare him to say his opinion today. But he can't.
He can't because he's either their sponsor or he's afraid of them.

gidgiddy:


And Buhari left boko haram, ISWAP and killer herdsmen, that were all armed and slaughtering people, to unleash 'operation python dance' on unarmed people and declare them terrorists?

That is injustice, which peaceful group will you be doing that to and they stay peaceful forever?

Emergingnation3:
Lol ! Igbo isn't complaining about IPOB, accept Ab0ki that sees IPOB as terrorist, cos IPOB agitation is bent to lead their backwards region into Oblivion..

Any way, one man freedom fighter is another man's terrorist..

paramakina202:


So now you agree with me they are no more a peaceful movement?

gidgiddy:


And I guess you dont really care that you're government engaged in years of unjust killings of peaceful agitators?
