Since the early 2000's, the struggle by Biafran separatists has continued to gain traction. First, it was MASSOB, a group that organized themselves peacefully in their agitations for Biafra. However, they were met with brute force by the Nigeria army and police. Many of their members were killed and others imprisoned for long periods. Eventually, their leader was believed to have been compromised while in prison. After that, the movement lost steam and eventually fizzled out.

Then came IPOB under Nnamdi Kanu. He operated under Uwazuruike in the then MASSOB before splitting to form IPOB. However, IPOB was more radical and its leader more charismatic. But just like MASSOB, IPOB also operated peacefully. And just like MASSOB, there members were also killed and imprisoned. There are still pictures on the internet of IPOB members being subjected to various inhuman treatments. There is a particular picture where their members were forced to swim inside muddy pool. Eventually, they took up arms and formed their military wing, the ESN. Today, their leader has remained in prison.

Incidentally, when IPOB took up arms, the army stopped subjecting them to inhuman treatments. The most worrisome is that ESN are not the only armed separatist groups operating now. Other splinter groups like BNL have emerged.

What is more troubling is that these separatist groups are becoming more formidable and audacious. They're not only heavily armed but also display videos of their training and parades without fear.

Just yesterday, one of the separatist groups operating in Bakassi peninsula clashed with the Cameroun army and three Cameroonian soldiers died in the fight.

There is no doubt that Biafra separatists are growing their base, becoming well armed, having effective Intel. and good logistics. Also, other parts of the East outside the Igbo heartland are now forming synergy with the separatists.

The question now is, has the Nigerian state giving up? Have they exhausted all options? What is the way forward?

The above questions are very important and need to be addressed, because the separatist groups might eventually become too grounded to be routed again.

They cant bear the thought that BIAFRANs extend outside IGBO land.

I'm waiting for one highly educated citizens to come here, insult cross river, Akwa Ibom and Igbo people for being Biafrans

Don't disturb yourself over, those inconsequential PIGLETs. They don't count at all. Its their masters (The PIGs) that need to be smashed

Yarimo the Head-slamming Ab0ki and Raskimonojendor the Skull-mining Af0nja... Food don land!

Just make Sure you keep your foolish nonsense to yourselves in your Region and on your own side of the River Niger

If you have decided to burn your Homeland to dust and ashes that is your Problem

We must not hear even 'Pim' from you or IPOB in the SW and Lagos

Confused criminals are now protesting due to unbearable poverty and hunger in Ogun state. After voting for a fellow criminal because of tribalism, now they're perishing. My people are so stewpid

Most people who dismiss the seriousness of those separatists fighters are mostly people who are based in Lagos or south west . But we that based in east are seeing things first hand. The milatry are even afraid to face those boys frontally, Nigeria army are fighting them thru media propoganda only,imagine in ihiala axis those guy in their military camo with ak-47 patrolling along federal express road that has Nigeria military checkpoint nearby. And each time the army make move to confront them in their camp, the army usually ran away with heavy casualties, but Nigeria media don't report it.

There is no difference between Vietnam and SE. You can't win against a group fighting guerilla war inside jungle. America sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to Vietnam along with thousands of planes and other heavy weapons yet they couldn't defeat the poorly eqquiped Vietcongs.

The only way out for the army or government is to find a way to convince Igbos to go against those guys, otherwise nothing.
