lekjons:
If a group of people who raid villages, kill and rape aren't terrorists... Then I don't know.

Armed robbers also raid cities, towns and villages to steal, rape and kill people. Does that make them terrorists?

[quote author=celebsnes post=60683098]The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Garba Shehu, has revealed why the Federal Government labelled Indigenous People of Biafra as terrorists and not the marauding Fulani herdsmen..

Garba Shehu also revealed he supported the Nigerian Army in its recent declaration that the Indigenous People of Biafra is a terrorist group.

Recall, earlier on Wednesday, The Federal High Court in Abuja has approved the application by the Federal Government, seeking the proscription of the Indigenous People of Biafra.

Now, Mr. Shehu, who made this known while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, said the Federal Government had closely monitored the activities of the group, its inability to embrace dialogue, hence qualified to be called a terrorist organisation.



He also revealed the herdsmen did not fight to take over any region like IPOB and Boko Haram did..

He said;

“We looked at this organisation, we analysed it, and it fits the description of a terrorist organization.

If it fits the description of a terrorist organization, then it is a terrorist organization,”

Although the Presidential Aide admitted that the military by its declaration alerted Nigerians of their own analysis, he, however, revealed the Federal Government was bound to follow up “some processes.”

“That yes, it fits in and as Americans say, ‘If it walks like a duck, it moves like a duck, it looks like a duck, then it is a duck.’

“Therefore, that is it. That is their own description of it. So, the processes we are bound to follow since they are fully aware of the fact that from the point of view of the law, they cannot do what the law does not empower them to do.”

Mr. Shehu further explains that IPOB leader, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu had earlier aborted peace moves made by the governors of the five eastern states headed by Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi, as well as Senators from the region.



He said;

“IPOB itself has clearly indicated that they are not interested in dialogue. You know that in the run-up of these processes, the governors of the states in the region had put up a forum, IPOB said, ‘No, thank you, we are not interested.’

“The Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria set up a delegation and they said, ‘IPOB we want to speak to you,’ and they said, ‘no, thank you.’”

“Initially yes, it is clear that the leader had himself shut everyone out of the whole process,”

He then added;

"There is a difference between a criminal activity and a terrorist activity, yes the fulani herdsmen are a criminal gang and they are being treated as criminals according to the law of the country.. But IPOB like Boko Haram as a territory have carved on to themselves as a sovereign state of their own, they have should willingness to invade states and raised concerns in neighbouring states, like Kogi, Benue and have said they are interested in taking over Bayelsa and Rivers and have raised up a flag"



Shehu is a big fool

.

In that case, terrorists are not criminals.

ON THE ALLEGATIONS BY IPOB THAT THE NORTH IS A PARASITE ON NIGERIA' S ECONOMY

Augustine Timipre Ebimone used facts and figures to address the ill informed Igbo brothers and sisters as follows. You are saying that the North contributes nothing? Please note the following facts..........

At least 15 million southerners, 5 million Igbos live & trade up the North for their daily bread.

Limestone mines Benue: Kogi, Sokoto, and Bauchi supply 40% Nigeria's cement. Zero cement from Niger Delta but they live & work in cement buildings.

Kogi iron ore mines supply 80% of local iron & steel in Nigeria from Ajaokuta.

100% cow meat, 95% groundnut, 60% potato, 60% rice, 80% yam, 50% maize, 20% fish, 90% tomato onion pepper, 50% milk, sugar, salt , 90% of beans to feed 180 million hungry Nigerians every day all come from the North!

100% hydro electricity that powers Nigeria when Ijaw militants bomb gas pipelines to power stations putting Nigeria into darkness. How many times have angry Northern youths cut off power from Kainji, Jebba, Shiroro, Zungeru hydro dams to throw all Nigeria into darkness?

The North can cut off food supply and starve Nigeria to death. They can also cut electricity to put us into darkness.

You guys are a bunch of fools, as if only oil & gas plus open shop trade jeans & shirt is what keeps Nigeria alive. Fools, North contributes to Nigeria more than East. How much agricultural & mineral resources does Igbo land share out to the other 31 states of Nigeria? Kidnappings, drug peddling, fake spare parts or what else?

Mac2016:
Hmmmm. What a government! Where serial killers/bombers like Boko Haram and[b] "stealers" of billions of naira walk freely[/b] on the street while "free association" is frowned at and civil disobedience is treated like a criminal case. What a Zoo!

Do you really mean the bolded? This coming from a group of people who are known to reward disgustingly corrupt people with chieftancy titles? A group of people who did not see anything wrong in what their drunkard Retardeen Ebele Azikiwe did by pardoning a looter per excellence who was convicted for the very act in UK? Please! The hypocrisy will take you know where, we can see beyond the bullshit.

THis Country is actually a joke, I imagine the Nigerian Army Labelling IPOB a terrorist organization without killing anyone what about the Fulani Herdsmen that Gun down people that comes their way.... We need Sense in Nigeria

you mean a group of "moving badluck" for anyone who encounters them?

Shehu is a fool at 40

Any group of states that ask for restructuring or secession are terrorists?

This is a definition of terrorism by the way.

"Terrorism, in its broadest sense, describes the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror, or fear, to achieve a political, religious or ideological aim.

Daeylar:
Herdsmen that kill people aren't terrorists, but IPOB are

How do these people even say these things without shame


The irony

They have lost the capacity to be ashamed; it's called 'brazenness'.

Please this is the time to pray hard for Nigeria...

Or else Buhari and APC will set this country on fire.

What an irresponsible government!

fyneIjay:
If it was the right thing why do they keep giving reasons to justify it?

Nice question

'Acute incompetence'

P0intBlank:
The fourth deadliest known terrorist group are not terrorists - Garba Shehu, PhD (Confusion and Incompetence)

shehu garba should shut his f**king noisehole up.

This is why we unfortunately will remain a laughing stock to the international community for a long time. This is a country's presidential spokesman. Logic is kept standing on its head. Is he trying to misinform?

West Africa Bloggers Award is an innovation to celebrate bloggers in their respective niche. We understand that there have been some bloggers award but non has added the needed prestige and glamour to the industry. We understand this is due to the use of digital awards or badges and not well publicized for the general public awareness so we came up with an idea of an award ceremony of headies and amvca standard but this time for bloggers

That West Africa Bloggers Award in summary

Its the first edition and we are having some difficulties, but above all we need top bloggers to support us by helping us with social media awareness.. We understand that an household name like yourself giving us support will go a long way in achieving this feet

IPOB ticks all the box for your definition.
Add to the fact that like ISIS and BokoHaram, IPOB
1. Have flags (heardsmen don't)
2. Lay claims to geographical area within a sovereign nation (heardsmen don't, they're nomadic)
3. Have expansionist agenda. Kanu boldly claimed that he has been offered 5 south east states but that wouldn't do, he wanted Rivers and Benue. I'm sure Delta would soon follow, then cross rivers etc.
Let me know if you're still not convinced IPOB is a terrorist group despite it's many similarities with ISIS and co.
