NafeesaAA:
THE IPOB FRAUD AND THE BURDEN OF RESPONSIBILITY

BY Ahmed Musa Husaini

EXCERPT:

"... Only when Kanu threatened the elections in Anambra that the region's political leaders remember that they have a responsibility to rein Kanu in.

By feeding their people on a steady diet of ethnic propaganda in order to distract attention from their own failures, the South-east leadership must take disproportionate blame for the present situation. The irony is, the Igbos cannot be the most persecuted ethnic group and at the same the most geographically spread nationally, with Igbo men and women eking out a living in all obscure corners of the Nigerian space.

By choosing hate and incitement, Kanu and his Ipob cheerleaders have proven that they are intellectually and temperamentally incapable of leading a nonviolent self-determination. Their struggle is borne out of political blackmail and therefore devoid of any moral legitimacy. They do not represent the Igbos and do not know how to do any of those things that are of benefits to the average Igboman.

Ipob thrives on hate and incitement. But human beings and nations cannot live on hate and incitement alone, yet hate and incitement are all that Ipob has to offer. But this can neither fix their present level of social and developmental malaise nor bring the South-east any political gain. It can only lead them to self-destruction with its utter, unspeakable consequences.

Since its resurgence on the back of Jonathan's 2015 election defeat, the Nigerian state has tolerated Ipob more than it did any other rogue group. Ipob cannot be more-Jonathan than the ND militants who have moved on from 2015 elections and embraced the initiatives pursued by the FG through Vice President Osinbajo.

Given the choice between order and anarchy, the Nigerian state has no option than to put Nnamdi Kanu where he belongs no matter the price. The only victims, as in every conflict situation, are those who are unfairly targeted on both sides. That is why we need to draw a line between the average law-abiding Nigerian Igbo wherever he is, and Ipob thugs bent on stoking an all out ethnic war.

There is no moral equivalence between the Nigerian security forces and Ipob thugs. The Nigerian security must do everything to protect civilians from Ipob terrorism in the South-east and possible reprisals elsewhere. They must avoid any act of collective persecution that will feed into Ipob's narrative of collective Igbo victimhood.

.... But those who support evil out of primordial allegiances have their consciences to live with, and if they don't have any, they cannot escape its consequences..."

NothingDoMe:
For some reason I liked you more than the other Zombified sai Baba worshippers. Dunno why.
However with all due respect your question is silly at best. Army laid seige to his house and you are asking where he is? Are you for real?
Buhari is the right person to answer that question.

wristbangle:


I also condemn the act of Nigeria Army but an elder needs to draw Kanu's ear to lay low on this issue

elfmann:

Pesin no dey benefit anything from a union.. And he can't agitate to leave too. Haba!

NothingDoMe:
Well, here we are unfortunately. Now there's reports that he's picked up Kanu again. If that's true how will that solve this issue. Another wrong move. Sigh.

alizma:
I am beginning to hate Igbo's like never before. I hate the way the play the victim game. for some days now their people have been misbehaving and terrorising malams in the east and they felt cool with it. even when u try to mention it before those who are supposed to be civilize per say, they play down on it but just this night that the northern youths have decide to display their own bad side, they Igbo's are shouting and claiming is Buhari that cause this. was it buhari that said ur brothers should fight the northerners in aba or it was buhari that said they should be searching for Hausa man in every vehicle that pass by? if you don't want the Hausa man in your land, kindly vacate his own land for him that is called justice and fairness. u can't eat your cake and have it.

wristbangle:


If na like so Nelson Mandela agitation be, we for neva hear South Africa today

Kazim88:


Buhari is the person Unknownly turning the country upside down..
Kanu was playing with his head...

he fell for it.. wholesale... and he just destroyed the country.

Not just Buhari.. people like you also.. that was pushing Buhari to "crush "... Without being able to see the consequences

Elliot2:
as long as u keep seeing ipob as an offshoot of jonathan's election loss but not as a chain of several events,u will continue to miss out in d discourse.

elfmann:

What? Mandela later ruled and blacks are still looting there in SA.
Catalonia, Kurds, Scotland are asking for referendum on independence. South Sudan and Britain seceded from a union.

magoo10:
the Nigeria govt and her army should be held responsible for eruption of violence in the country .

those who support the army invasion of abia state are the real enemies of democracy and history will not forget them,what goes around comes around.

now the fire has been lit hope they can now peacefully conduct referendum.

mpowa:

Well it seems things will just get worse, nobody is having restraints, we've been shouting this, but it seems it's because we're weak. This doesn't pay anyone, Nigerians are already suffering enough, we don't need this. Buhari should be a father, and other parties too should shelve their swords. Things like this, you might know the beginning, you don't know the end.

steph2sweet:

You are a capital fool. Go lick ur dirty ass, na hate go kill you ediot.

NothingDoMe:
This what I've been saying but the idiotic BMC and sai Baba chanters were too happy with the attack on IPOB to see consequences.

Blind like their leader Buhari

Something very BAD really dey do you for head!

Since Cownu has been urging you miscreants on all the past weeks, did your fathers call him to order?
Even his own foolish father said he supports what his son is doing!

Now that the other side is responding in-kind, you useless cowards have started pointing your stubby fingers as usual.

Go and confront the Army now and lets see you walk the talk.
Bloody, shiverling cowards.

Kazim88:

Most sensible post... we have to hold restrain...

No particular group can swallow the other..

I just hope it is not too late... the FG went too far... ended up losing their legitimacy and trust.

wristbangle:


Bro, u don't seems to understand my point clearly. I said if mandela adopted kanu style of secession, there wouldn't have been south Africa today

lordwar:
I made a bow from my uncles koboko and was able to sharping arrow heads from the wooden bed in our house try get any weapon and hide if anyone try to break in position your self and attack

Alexis11:
Funny how some people did not see anything wrong with KANU hate speeches.


May the blood of innocent Igbos that is about to be spilled in this country be upon Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB miscreants.

benedictac:
OMG! This has been my fear oooh. O God pls help us. What's Buhari saying na? Why is the President quiet na?

mavinc4u:



What do you want him to say? Has he spoken a word since he came back?

QuestSeeker:
"The death of one man diminishes me because I am part of humanity"

I have never commented on issues that have a tribal slur on this forum because I vowed never to be a party to ethnic bigotry.

However, with recent occurrences I feel compelled to advise our teeming youths to desist from heating the system up any further.

Name Checkers Association members should kindly remember that the seeds of discord they sow can decide to germinate and fruit in several ways that they may end up regretting.

The South Eastern elders must counsel Nnamdi Kanu and co to jettison their style of agitation. While it is the right of any group of people to seek self determination, if they so choose, it is not fair to stereotype other people and call them names and incite your people against others all in the name of fighting for your rights. Citizens rights and responsibilities are not mutually exclusive. You can demand for your rights without being abusive; when you tow that path you alienate a lot of people who may be sympathetic to your cause.

President Buhari should be advised equally to find peaceful means of defusing tensions in all areas of the country.

Please let us all remember that we are all descendants of Adam and Eve and such we are brothers and sisters.

May peace return to our country.

If only IPOB Uoots will listen.

They just burnt down Ariria Police station, just now

Daboomb:


That Albino goat called Cownu, has been the one doing all the talking, incitement and boasting.
He suddenly lost his voice in d last three days since he saw Phyton.

BLOODT COWARD IN HIDING

GetMeRight:

Talking about playing with heads, I would rather say that Kanu was playing with the head of jobless youths.

And talking about consequences, you know the consequences for dissent.

What you're advocating that Buhari should have done wasn't an option. As a president of the country, it is either you give them what they are asking for or put an end to the madness that would make country ungovernable for you one day.

mavinc4u:


Abeg make I hear word. Do you actually know the definition of coward? Is only cowards that fight with weapons, brave men don't fight with weapons. If you are not tired of this country does not mean others are not tired. If people are happy in this country tell me why everybody is running away at the slightest opportunity.

lordwar:
we are only protecting our self from those trying to kill us all our doors and Windows have been silled tight we are armed and on the alert this is my first time of taking a life

Kazim88:


If the government wanted to solve Nnamdi Kanu case... legally or via sorting...
They have all the resources and finance to do it in 1001 ways...

Out of hate and Envy you guys just wanted to just drink Igbo People's Blood (It was high in 2015 election) and you saw Kanu as a good excuse to.

The way Notherners were dancing and jubilating over Nigeria Army drowning unarmed civilians was the momment I realise you guys are not humans... Even Aminals have feelings for life.... you guys are maggots... and you guys would soon get more blood to drink in the coming week.. till you all chook

Soon they would be reprisal in the North, go and put your straw to suck more blood..


in the end you would understand why maggots end up in sewage

Acidosis:


Politicians and their families.

GetMeRight:

I thought you were one of the few educated and refined online Igbos but I mistook you for one. Now, you're sounding more like Kanu.

You'll be lucky if you find one in 5million!

They all sleep facing the same side, sleeping and waking-up in self-delusion.

did you not hear Kanu's fatheryarning rubbish and supporting what his son is doing?
