The End Of An Era, Adieu Ipob, Adieu Biafra by shukuokukobambi: 3:33pm On Oct 22, 2018 |
So Mazi okwu Nnamdi kanu (whom I usually deride as an albino hunchback) finally made his much anticipated broadcast yesterday evening and it was honestly an anticlimax. Supporters of APC who had hoped the speech would stir up the pro-IPOB "no referendum no elections" stand to ensure a total boycott of the 2019 polls in the SE were disappointed but they're not the only ones. The radical loyalists of the ipob family didn't fare any better. If they had hoped to use this speech as proof that they still held sway over igboland, they will surely feel let down as it only showed the contrary, which is that Kanu isn't bothered about the struggle or his followers anymore. The man obviously cares more about Jack, his dog, than about any of his unfortunate followers. Also the responses on social media has shown that the SE has gotten over it's obsession with ipob and their biafran agitation. There can never be that outpouring of support for the biafran dream as we saw from 2015 till the PDP primaries that threw up Atiku Abubakar as the PDP presidential candidate. As it is, agitation for biafra is dead. That brings me to this point. The average SE man has realized that the possibility of a Vice presidency in the country most of the SE called a zoo, till very recently, is more urgent and realistic than any utopian biafran wish. The biafran dream that made ipob and their leader transmute into a religion is now dead. Sacrificed on the altar of the prospect of Vice president to Atiku, a fulani, in 2019. The only winners are those who have signed on to Atikulation since October 7th. Their task is now to ensure the historical voter apathy that has bedeviled the South of Nigeria and particularly the SE region doesn't make their dream become a nightmare. With federal might and a SS man as candidate, anambra, the most populous SE state could only deliver 660,000 votes and the entire SE could only deliver 2.8m votes in total with 2.5m going to the PDP. The SW in contrast delivered 4.4m votes in total as an opposition enclave with it's party, the APC, getting 2.5m while the SS produced about 5m votes for the PDP which we must remember came about from the extreme violence, killings and militarilisation of the entire region e.g rivers state and Wike. So bye bye ipob and kanu. Welcome Atikulation Where's my friend, enemybulldozer. Do you still believe igbo will boycott the 2019 elections? 14 Likes 5 Shares

shukuokukobambi:Kanu gained widespread support from ibos only after the 2015 elections, prior to that the slogan was GEJ till 2019. So you see when I say the agitation is closely related to national elections. When Atiku loses next year which he most likely will, we will hear chants of 'Biafra or death' once again 10 Likes 1 Share |

OP you are totally wrong. IPOB or the Biafra struggle is even stronger now because they see this as the 3rd and final step to their Biafra agitation. The reappearance of KANU and his well placed words like I AM BACK FULLY, I AM COMING BACK TO NIGERIA AND I WILL BE BRINGING HELL WITH ME are words meant to point in a certain direction and that is to create the impression that the Biafra struggle is now at its peak. Of course the elite who feed off the system in Nigeria have never supported him because at the emergence of Biafra, KANU would become its automatic leader same way Mandela became to south Africa However the majority of the people who are the poor and down trodden and ignored see him as their saviour and are solidly behind him. To me, his followership just doubled and the struggle just took on a more fierce nature. A meeting was held in Germany yesterday by key players in the Biafra struggle after kanus broadcast and the resolution isn't pretty but what I will tell you is that 2019 elections would experience an unprecedented level of election boycott in the SE at the presidential level. Massob is seen as a disgrace and as having no voice for the people so the only one now whom they believe has their best interest at heart is IPOB under KANU. In September they held a mock referendum all over the SE and it was well planned and executed and made the flame of a free Biafra to burn even hotter. My guy 2019 is almost here. No referendum, no election is also firm 9 Likes |

shukuokukobambi: For me I will simply state, that the whole of Biafra nation is in disarray. Major Igbo leaders like, Ekweremmadu, Umahi, Obiano, Anyim Pius Anyim etc are distancing themselves from Atiku and leaning beside Buhari. Majority of Igbo people are distancing themselves from Nnamdi Kanu for valuing his dogs more than the lives of his followers that committed suicide because of him. Now Atiku dream is fast losing steam while Biafra agitation died just yesterday.. The dilemma now is, where will they cling on after Buhari is sworn in for his inevitable 2nd Term? What an era! ![]() 7 Likes 1 Share |

To the topic, your fellow Igbo people are cursing him and calling him a scam, fraud, fool, selfish being who only cares about Jack, the dog.

U Buterflyle0: Oh boy leave talk! IPOB have not been participating in any election since 1999. They are in a very minority group before 2015, until the supposedly educated ones found them a solace to latch on after Jonathan lost 2015 election. Now, those latter group that energized them after 2015, have found a common ground on Atiku, with false hope that he would win next year, so that another looting era will beckon to enable them settle their insatiable quest for self enrichment.

shukuokukobambi:Like I said on the other thread, Mazi's reappearance is a major setback for ipob, massob and whatever groups there are agitating for that same course. Ojukwu and Uwazurike were lucky to have salvaged some reputation for the course because they didn't live in the age of fast internet. Today is totally different. Everything the boy did and said was captured and recorded and posted on social media (for the purposes of propaganda). His disappearance would have meant something good for the course whether he had died or gone into hiding. But given the circumstances at hand, the boy has completely lost it, tarnished the credibility of the course, and completely politicised the struggle. Wetin consine me sef. All I know is Baba is going to run his second tenure hitch free, after which our son Osinbobo takes over! 7 Likes 2 Shares |

CilicMarin: One thing I am good at is political analysis and I am extremely good at it. Reading moods, reactions and observing emerging events form a basis for making informed decisions or taking an informed stand. The lack of faith people developed in Massob automatically meant an increase in confidence in IPOB. The stand of Massob and IPOB were once the same until Massob gradually began to change its position and began to become involved in the politics in the zoo. However IPOB remained resolute and never shifted. With the comparison of other freedom fighters worldwide it showed KANU as being firm and determined. Much more than uwazurike and the others. The memory of all that transported against then during the civil war has not been dampened and this has been a major spotlight for IPOB as they keep reminding the people over and over again about the number of their people who died at the hands of NIGERIA for simply seeking freedom. Generations have gone and others have come but the memory hasn't faded. This was the grounds for the Biafra struggle which is louder now than in the times of Ojukwu . As I type this, plans are in top gear to begin house to house and serious media campaigns for boycott of the elections. I am a bit of a networked person so I tend to be privy to a little bit more info than others 7 Likes 1 Share |

shukuokukobambi: ![]() Atiku is going to defect back to APC to try his luck against Prof. ![]() Ibo will return to Biafra or death. No need to wait, place bets on it. Look, Nigerian elections are the easiest to win. The easiest! No incumbent president should ever loose to his opposition in Nigeria. GEJ lost because he was sorrounded by Ibos and they lack political tactics. If GEJ had Yoruba behind him he would use his incumbency to return for second term and break record as longest ruling democratic president in Nigeria. Buhari is incumbent. Beside Yoruba support he also has Hausa-Fulani lined up behind him. The West of Nigeria are the customary drivers of Nigerian policies and politics. Atiku has no chance. Not in 2019, not in 2023. Some people are destined for power but not wealth, others are destined for wealth but no power, very few indeed have both and Atiku is not in that few. ![]() 7 Likes |
