Why Is Abakaliki Not Under Siege??? by Nobody: 1:49pm On Sep 17, 2017 |
For a thousand and one times, it has been re-iterated here that Abakaliki and the rest of Ebonyi state are not part of the Biafran struggle and are devoted to a United and peaceful Nigeria that is as much restructured. For weeks now, the media has been awash with news and pictures of dead IPoB protesters in Aba, umuahia and some parts of SE, however, of certain interest Was The peacefulness and spirit of calm present across Ebonyi state entirely. It is alleged that the Governor, though in PDP, is sympathetic to the Buhari-led APC federal government . That can't be proven, however Governor Umahi chaired the SE Governor's forum that proscribed IPOB activities in the SE and recently, has been reported to be part of Buhari 's entourage, traveling to the US today or tomorrow. As I report to you now, there are no visible soldiers or military check points anywhere in Abakaliki and Ebonyi state entirely, apart from the ones that has been In existence before now. Infact, it is safe to say that the python is not dancing in Ebonyi state and Ebonyians are happy. 3 Likes

HungerBAD: Governor Umahi is extremely security conscious and a firm lover of one Nigeria, he shows it in his speeches and actions. About last year he donated trailers of Abakaliki rice to IDP camps in Borno and the entire NE. He loves Nigeria and Nigerians irrespective of ethnic differences. All Nigerians are welcome to invest and live in Ebonyi so far they don't cause mayhem. IPOB disgusts Dave Umahi and Ebonyians love their daily work. No one is ready to join useless IPOB protests and that is why it has never occurred in Abakaliki. 9 Likes |

HungerBAD: Dave Umahi is extremely detribalized and a preacher of one unified Nigeria. His governance in Ebonyi is so far, the best the state has experienced since democratic dispensation in terms of infrastructural uplift and peace maintenance. 5 Likes |

HungerBAD: Maybe he is, maybe he's not. Still, it doesn't justify the fact that the military invasion of the South East to counter a supposed uprising which has been hitherto comparatively peaceful and within the ambits of international law was needless and a disarrangement of national priorities considering the fact that the underlying triggers of such uprisings haven't been tackled. I am Ibibio; I vehemently refuse the idea of my people being lumped in a non-defined map of Biafra but the humanity in me still thrives. There are countless Igbos who refuse the idea of Biafra but you hunt them all with the majority of us - the other tribes - cheering them on as they are killed in the South and North. HungerBad, your humanity is dead! 2 Likes 1 Share |

HungerBAD: I'm delighted. IPOB are advised to steer clear of Ebonyi state for their own good. Otherwise the good people of Ebonyi will firmly resist them and point them out to the military to do the needful. 4 Likes 1 Share |

TheSonOfMark: This one hurts. To think one of the very few persons i respect a lot here,can even think this low about me is a betrayal on your part. I am not in the business of ever replying my mentions. But for you,i will take out that time to have that discussion with you. I am not Anti-Igbo. And neither do i advocate for the use of force. I am just Anti- IPOB. There are plenty of blames to go round on all sides. But this would not have been started,if IPOB have not fired the first salvo of missiles(violence). Nigeria is still a country of laws?and Kanu with his miserable followers are subject to the laws of the land. I am about to leave for Church service,and next time we will continue this discussion. 8 Likes |

HungerBAD: Respect? HungerBad? TheSonOfMark? Our e-paths rarely ever cross so what's with playing the 'I-Respect-You' card as a get-away outlet? Your subtle attempt at emotional blackmail is as ineffective as water corroding gold. ![]() I am not Anti-Igbo. And neither do i advocate for the use of force. I am just Anti- IPOB.I have been engaged with countless Igbo-ascribing monikers on tribal spats when provoked but would I hail a not-so-veiled massacre targeted at them? Hell would have to freeze over first. Of course, you're not anti-Igbo - you are anti-justice and pro-marginalization. Hogwash! The military invasion of a relatively peaceful region is an act of biased aggression itself. [/quote]
[b] Predictable retort. Typical of us Africans to try to hypocritically project ourselves as pseudo -sanctimonious to evade criticisms even when we err. You've probably attended more church programmes this year than I have in last thirty months but even a daily immersion in River Jordan itself wouldn't change the obvious - YOUR HUMANITY IS DEAD! ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |

kelechi50: Be calm, governance is a continuous process, continue to be law abiding and remain objective, government shall continue to look into every nook and cranny of Ebonyi state to better the lot of the people.
