So because they brand some people enemy that is why they should be proscribed? That is why your Igbo nation will became Afghanistan? It appears you do not know much about Afghanistan.

gidgiddy:


Forget that guy, it is people with his stupid mentality that cause Africa to be backward. The world is after people taking action while people like him are busy chasing after those that talked.

He is in a country where thousands of innocent people have been killed in 2018 alone by different armed groups but his headache is the group that only talked. How people can be this stupid I will never know.

FortifiedCity:
Putting IPOB and boko/taliban is gross misrepresentation. There are things that can't just happen in the east.

The thing is if IPOB is to achieve their goal, they'll have to be defiant to the government. And defiance takes going against the norm

naijapips04:


Every terrorist organization all started with people just talking.....boko haram, Al -Queda , ISIS. There all stemmed from one man saying things and issuing treats just like IPOB is doing now.

naijapips04:


Go back and read the statement by emma powerful.

I am protesting of course. But protest should be based on individual convictions not enforced. Don't intimidate me into sitting at home if I don't want to. I've been in the east during several sit at home orders right from the time of MASSOB and I know how these things are.

naijapips04:


There's a huge difference between supporting Biafra and supporting IPOB. Biafra is a worthy course but IPOB is just a group of miscreants. Learn to differentiate the two man.

frankfrancis871:
PLEASE READ THIS SLOWLY
okay you expect them to treat you nicely after losing people dear to their heart NO, NO and NO! For Christ sake these people lost people they love, don't you feel sorry for them! Like I said, nobody is FORCING you to sit at home but I would never make myself an enemy to my people WHEN AND ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE RIGHT. If I were you, I will stand with them because these Biafrans especially Igbos are going through lots of terrible tribulation, their neighbours hate them and even... I'm really tired of explaining this, just ONE DAY I means hours you can't sacrifice., this is ridiculous!

Dreambeat:
Stop listening to what detractors post on social media calling the group a bunch of miscreants.Thats not true.The group is made up of intellectuals and achievers in different fields.Academics, doctors,lawyers engineers and successful businessmen amongst others both home and in the diaspora.Stop listening to the lies of the Nigerian state.Yes there may be some members who may behave in not so much of a generally likable way,but it is expected.Their voice should also be heard.They are part of the Biafran project.Even if you don't like the way they pass their messages,you should not drown their voices just because you don't like their 'aggression'.That is what a republic and a democracy should be.Is that not what the Biafran project is all about?

Stop talking like a fool. What was said here that was bad?

That people should stay indoors? It is up to the people to obey that order or go out. Will IPOB drag people into their house if they come outside?


I don't know what is wrong with Nigerians. "Nnamdi Kanu said this, Nnamdi Kanu said that', 'IPOB said this, IPOB said that'.

People so concerned about what was said. WHAT DID THEY DO?

Have you heard that IPOB touched anyone? Have they killed anybody? Have they ever been armed? So the whole problem is that they talked?


Yet you live in a country where Boko Haram, Herdsmen and Niger Delta militants are no longer talking their mouths but with their AK47.

You live in a country where different armed bandits are killing people every blessed day

But your main headache is what IPOB or Kanu said or didn't say?

If you have nothing doing, try and get a job

naijapips04:


I get you. You can appeal to me and I choose to protest in solidarity. You don't force me. You can't only suggest to me not enforce me.

gidgiddy:


Really? Then that means everybody in the world is a terrorist because everybody in the world has at one time or the other issued threats to another person.

frankfrancis871:
Thank you nobody is forcing anyone but supporting your people in times of trouble is the best..

naijapips04:


when IPOB is beginning to take powers into their hands, to determine who should come out and who shouldn't then they should be proscribed. They are overstepping their boundaries and the sooner we stop them, the better for everyone.

konoplyanka:



You guys dont see anything wrong with this threat, but cry wolf when Oba Akinolu "threatened" to throw you into the laoon.


" Any person or persons found outside on September 14, 2018 will be recorded as an enemy of Biafra and dealt with accordingly. Such person or persons, along with their families, will face the eternal wrath and consequences of their actions. This IPOB generation will not forgive any act of treachery capable of derailing our march to freedom. "

Now I begin to doubt if you are Igbo or if you grew up in Igbo land. In Igbo tradition, when there is a call for collective action, they don't force you but if you do not join, you will be considered an enemy of the people. That is Igbo tradition. That is what Emma Powerful , an Igbo man has said. If you are Igbo or If you grew up in Igbo land, you will know what that is. You are behaving like those who hate any word or action that emanates from Igbo land. The IPOB has a history and we know that they have never forced anybody to do anything.

They are condtuting nuisance which will harm igbo economy

frankfrancis871:
has IPOB crucified you for this comment, the bolded is more like a warning to their people to do the needful! Why disturbing yourselves on another peoples matter?

naijapips04:
[s]The recent statement by IPOB spokesperson on the recent sit at home order by the FG is all shades of wrong.

This further consolidates my initial stance on IPOB. They are just nothing but a group of misguided Igbo youths, most of whom are illiterates and heavily brainwashed. Nnamdi Kanu as a conman had to connect to something that resonates with every Igbo man and use that as a tool to steer most away from sanity.

The statement by emma powerful reads in part :



Umunne m, Is this the sort of Biafra we want to have? A Biafra where a group of rascals would punish people for not adhering to their doltish declarations? What happens to free speech and freedom of association? So if i'm in Biafra and I don't agree with Emma powerful, My family and I would be what, beheaded, okwaya?

These sort of unguarded statements would only buy us more enemies than friends.

I want to state it again that IPOB and their group of rascals are on their own. IPOB do not represent the views of the common Igboman. They do not speak for the Igbo nation.

[s]How is it wrong to put those groups mentioned as the same, is it not common knowledge they all operate using coercion and forceful participation and you are threatened if you don't comply[/s]

gidgiddy:


What did they say? That they will consider anyone who comes out an enemy? Who doesnt have enemies in life? Did they say they will touch anybody? The group that has not touched anybody is your headache while there are several out there who killing people everyday.

This is why the international community doesn't take Nigeria serious. Words mean more to a Nigerian than action while actions means far more to the international community than words

Learn the lesson today, people care about action, not words.

In addition to what he said although I did not grow up in Igboland, I advise you to read thing fall apart again or any of Chinua Achebe that talks about ancient Igbos..

Yyeske:
You've said it all, to them, the threat is OK but anyone else who does same would be reported to the UN, ICC and the likes.

Throwback:



You, Selemempe and Xander85 are what I would classify as educated hypocrites.

Can you take that quoted statement of the IPOB spokesman to the UN and ICC as a defence when the Nigerian army clamp down on the IPOB terrorists who would attempt to ensure compliance, by unleashing mayhem on those who are free citizens of Nigeria and have not surrendered their democratic franchise to a terrorist group?

Is that statement not a terror statement from a group that loves to pretend to be the victim when indeed they are the aggressors and tyrants within Igboland?

gidgiddy:


Unfortunately for ignorant people like you, the international community is interested in "actions", not spoken words or statements. Violence must be an action. So wether you cry from now to eternity about what IPOB or Kanu said or did not say, the international community only cares about actions.

That's why America and the EU don't consider IPOB a terrorist organisation. You can't be a terrorist by word of mouth alone

naijapips04:


That rule is unspoken. But for you to come out to specially to say that 'the wrath of IPOB" would be unleashed on people that do not obey your command, is a dangerous threat man. IPOB is not an organization worthy of the Biafran cause.

naijapips04:


You can't stay in your house and determine 'collective action'.

Go and read things fall apart. Before Okonkwo was banished, the elders of every clan came together and agreed. The igboland is republican in nature. Igbo enwe eze. No one man can dictate what would happen and what wouldn't. We are not yorubas.

This same fabric of the igbo culture is what people like Nnamdi Kanu and Emma powerful are seeking to destroy.
