Nah.
Boko Haram could do this because - for the most part - their struggle is ideological and driven by religion.

Niger Delta militants were largely driven by abundant opportunities to bunker oil. Pl us they had their finger on the lifeblood of the nation, giving them massive leverage.

IPOB doesn't have the ability to drastically impair oil exports. The Biafra struggle for many does not run anywhere near as deep as the Boko Haram credo, and they can count on far smaller levels of support.
All they'll succeed in doing is to prevent any sane investor from investing in the region.

It'll be interesting to see where IPOB goes from here...

This is childish, just proved you're not a student of history.
Beliefs and Passion is what drives and sustain political movements like Ipob.
Are the members passionate?
Do the members believe in the cause of their struggle?

The above were what made bokoharam and Delta militants formidable.

"In as much as there may be a need to enforce order, there is a greater need to reinforce our humanity and treat Nigerian citizens humanely whether they be from the North or South."

That was the same fake concern for humanity he paraded when he finally stirred to the reality of BH by which time it had established itself and was killing our Soldiers cheaply while Commanders were pocketing money released too late in the day for arms purchase! Each time he spoke through his nasal cavity on this matter he sounded like a broken record. A semblance of respect is now had for our Defence forces and I doubt if anyone would again attempt to disarm a Nigerian soldier- male or female.

But the audacity and staying power is further enhanced when a Defence Force is not sufficiently well-projected. That's one reason you have supposedly "joint exercises" by NATO with South Korean and milparades by North Korea. Much of war is psychological. I doubt any IPOB member will ever again attempt to disarm a Nigerian soldier whether male or family now that it has been shown clearly what the result is certain to be.

As long as Nigeria remains a repressive state, Biafra will forever remain the best alternative


IPOB lives on


IPOB will definitely go underground and reorganize itself and emerge much prepared for a country that refused to dialogue

IPOB is dead on arrival if you dare Nigeria again you won't love to tell the story again.

bros abeg no offence, but i doubt if u even knw the meaning these 3 words: tolerant, democratic, fact.. GEJ is Nigeria's most democratic leader after Yaradua since 1999. Every sane Nigerian knows that Pmb is not just undemocratic but an ethnic and religious bigot, I am not being sentimental nor partisan here but thats just a FACT. Quote me anywhere on earth.

Last year, the 5 biggest US tech companies -- Alphabet, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft -- spent a combined $49m on Washington lobbyists, while the 5 biggest US banks spent just $19.7m.
This illustrates the dramatic shift that’s taken place under the Obama administration, as “the revolving door with [tech] companies is spinning ever faster -- as it once did with Wall Street.”
The power and influence of tech firms during the Obama government is unprecedented so says The Hustle.
Throughout Obama two terms at The White House, 183 people that worked under him were hired by Google, while 58 Google employees left Google to work for him.
That’s a lot of overlap! And it’s not just the Google.
Former Attorney General, Eric Holder, works at Airbnb now, Obama’s former campaign manager took a job at Uber.
_______________________________________
NOW......
Can we breathe in for a moment and ask where Nigeria's former ministers and top government functionaries are working presently.
The dilemma of Nigeria is that in the last three decades, we have had a situation whereby men and women without a second address found themselves in the corridors of power. Once out of power, they are out of job, and out of meaningful work.
That is why a man who led a state as Governor for eight years will still lobby hard and mess himself up in the process just to be appointed a Senior Special Adviser to the President. Or even a junior minister.
Some will just take anything as long as it comes with an official car, a Police Orderly and a pilot vehicle with siren upfront.
After eight years as Governor?
Years ago, we had an interview with the late President of Zambia Levi Nwanawasa. From the Presidential Palace, he pointed out his Law Chambers at one of the prominent buildings in Lusaka, and told us that 48 hours after leaving office, he will dust up his wig and head to work at his chambers.
Nigeria's bane is the preponderance of professional politicians. Men and women who do not have a second address after political office. That is why we are paying 109 Senators, and 360 members of House of Representatives heavily to sit and make laws for us. Yet in 365 days a year, majority of them sit for less than 35 days.
Why shouldn't we have a part time legislature where we pay only sitting and transport allowances?
Why must we bring 414 men and women and their families to Abuja and pay them so dangerously and stupidly well that their living habits end up distorting the market of virtually every sector and every item in Abuja.
We have even created an industry out of the National Assembly. A humongous consumerist class that add nothing to the growth of this economy.
Can you point out up to 60 former Senators or members of the House of Reps from 1999 to 2015 that are gainfully employed in a value creating wealth creating venture?
Or even the governors, and their deputies
??
Leaders that can't even write a 50 page book to document their experience in leadership so that those coming after them may learn.
Leaders who can't write books.......that is the worst kind of leaders anywhere in the world because they were not even conscious of the decisions they took while in office, so how will they recollect.
Until majority of our politicians are drawn from among wealth creators. This country will not move forward."
