Since "Igboland" means different things to different people, we would be starting from a point of confusion, where confusion is present, progress can never be made. So we start with the clearly defined SE. Something sensible. Finally. You don't win hearts and minds by force. You don't coerce people into becoming soldiers. You inspire them. NaijirianKing:
Once we have sufficient numbers of Igbo operating under the code, the group's will naturally spring up.
Remember, there's more strenght in decentralization since a centralized target is an easy target. In Naijiria an easy target will be targeted, that was Sowore's mistake.
Once a sufficient number of Igbo people are "on code", the group's will follow. I'd hazard to say that you are slightly missing the mark on this "code" aspect. You seem to be basing it off of the limited idea of "think groups" or "think tanks" composed of "proudly Igbo members". In reality, "think tanks" do not actually achieve much of anything. There are so many Igbo think tanks that have popped into existence and shortly after ended up defunct. There is a reason for it. All think tanks are funded in one way or another by people of affluence. Your predecessor think tanks likely has no such funding. Perhaps they presumed that "goodwill towards and for Igbo" would be sufficient. That is a miscalculation. So it might be of more benefit to you if you instead focused on a code that is centered on controlling affluence. A na-enwe obodo enwe. Affluence is what your target should be. The code then would be along the lines of ensuring that it's members are aware of mutually assured destruction if they fail to maintain the edicts of the organization that you want to create. To that end, the organization can neither be a public one or an NGO. Direct access to membership would be limited and controlled by invite-only protocols. The organization itself is barely spoken of and the composition of it's membership is effectively unknown to non-members. You essentially need a modern day Okonko. Affluence controls the world. You can then discreetly create the context that essentially has the public inherently playing the roles you want and furthering the agenda you set forth. This is my own personal opinion of course, but I doubt an open, public, "proudly Igbo for the sake of being Igbo" approach (even if it is a public and international movement/ideal) would be more effective than what I've just described. 3 Likes |

I like the way you reason, people like you make this forum engaging and fruitful.
What I believe you're suggesting is called the "top down" approach, this can be beneficial in certain situations, and adverse in others. I'll elaborate more in just a moment.
However, what I'm suggesting is a "bottom up" approach. Power is people, once the "affluent" know that the masses will hold them publicly accountable for betraying Igbo Empowerment, they'll act accordingly as they are simply outnumbered.
Moreover the affluent fear public embarrassment more than death. This can be a useful tool in bending the elite to our cause.
So it starts with forming the code, getting the masses on code, or getting the vast majority of Igbos acting in accordance with a code of conduct.
The whites who now wield most of the world's power created their code in 4 phases.
1. Establishment phase of the Code
2. Expansion phase of the Code to the masses of those who identify as white
3. Refinement phase of the Code along with the overall goal objective, and lastly;
4. Re-establishment phase of the newly improved upon Code
Then this process repeats itself as needed so the code stays relevant and useful. Getting on code is easy, in fact we get on code without even knowing it, the same way a dance can be created by students in Gwagwalada, but end up known in a village in Abia within 2 weeks is all the proof you need.
That's how quickly we can get on the same page, as the person from the village in Abia and the Student at University of Abuja, who've never met can dance the same way without prior discussion or explicitly planning to do so. That's a basic example of getting on code, but this highlights the ease at which it can be done with more serious issues.
This is how the vast majority of whites got into prominence as a "people." Remember the tribes of Europe used to be so violent to each other that Europe became the least developed area on the planet less than 600 years ago.
Eventually around 1500AD, the European tribes agreed upon a new code of conduct which looked to create a new world where those classified as white would no longer be on the bottom. This started in Spain, during the Spanish inquisition they enforced the code on the rich and poor alike. Anyone not standing with them was did away with, from Spain they spread the ideology refining it along the way.
Once they had spread the code of conduct across Europe, the European tribes began to call themselves whites, and being white came along with a code of conduct geared at enshrining those who classify as white on the top of the newly created racial pyramid. Today we see the results. Most of us can't even imagine a world where those classified as white were not on top of the proverbial food chain. We can take their model and apply it to Igbo Empowerment.
I'm not suggesting the think tank model, although those may spring up. I'm suggesting more the latter of what you described. An elusive shadowy organization that's not based around groups or people but an ideology. And this group is tasked with getting the vast majority of the masses in line with the code of conduct. However, there needs to be an economic base to reward and punish those who "get off code."

NaijirianKing, after having read your reply, I feel at odds with your statement. It seems you are both speaking of a top-down and bottom-up approach simultaneously. If we like, we can call this a two-pronged approach. On one prong (the top-down), you want the organization that enforces the code. On the other prong (the bottom-up), you want the people perpetuating the code, as though they believe in it.
Your top-down prong sounds similar to mine, though the example you pull to buttress it leaves me feeling as though it is a questionable approach. For one, it reads like the Inquisition (the time period in Christian history, where they were basically zealots/terrorists sponsored by the Church and grand liturgical orders). I do not know how much you know about white history, but from my knowledge, I would not encourage this approach. Secondly, many communities are still sore from their memories of the war and from the combings, executions and sacking that occurred during the saboteur saga of the war especially. At best, an open approach such as what you're suggesting (as I understand it) will make people apprehensive and perhaps distrusting. At worst, it can actually trigger communities that suffered the first time around and in turn easily engender hostility. Either way, the approach is no closer towards ensuring that the code is adhered to. This is the sort of mentality that helped decay Biafra from the inside towards the tail-end of the war.
Now, your bottom-up prong is not unreasonable. In fact, I believe I understand it. However, an approach like that only works well when the masses are not desperate and destitute. We love to think that igwe bu ike, but in truth, that only works when equity and agency exists for a people. A destitute people will never put any sort of code at the forefront of their minds. I am of the opinion that your approach is severely miscalculating the loss of will and hope on the part of the public, because their basic needs and wants are not being provided for. They have experienced so many unfulfilled promises. They've witnessed decade after decade as the situation degraded in Nigeria. The past ten years have been especially bad. Long story short, people whose basic needs and wants remain unmet are unlikely to observe any sort of decorum, but that self-perpetuating decorum is essentially what you want to create.
In English, it is called propriety. You want to instill an Igbo-centric propriety within the masses to essentially control public opinion by ensuring that the hearts and minds of the masses are inspired to adhere to such propriety. I understand well what it is you would like to achieve, but I consider it idealistic, especially when facing a desperate and destitute population.
This is where affluence enters the picture. In chemical sciences, there is the idea of a catalyst. Catalysts trigger reactions and exist simply to be consumed as fuel by the reaction which may then perpetuate itself. This analogy is of course with respect to the affluent organization. It's sole purpose is for the members to use their affluence to effect the necessary environmental, social, economic and political changes necessary to engender the propriety that you hope to create. Affluence provides the means to fund projects and pave one's way through the necessary chain of command until the goal is reached.
Don't get me wrong. My own approach can just as well be considered idealistic. An affluent, shadow organization stands the chance of loving their power so much that it in turn become cancerous to the public. Ideally, one would hope that the organization get consumed in the reaction, but the problem with affluence is that those with wealth generally grow wealthier and the gap between them and those without wealth grows larger. So, it is a double-edged sword, hence why I proposed the simple tenant of mutually assured destruction.
One implementation of such mutually assured destruction is to cater the invite-only process in such a way that members are required to give up/share their deepest secrets; the kind that would publicly, politically, financially, destroy them if the world knew. The entire membership is made aware of said secrets, and by so doing, it becomes in everyone's best interest to not leak the information of their fellow members and to follow the edicts of the organization. Mutually assured destruction. Once the organization has fulfilled its purpose, it disbands. There are many ways this could go wrong, of course, but at the very least it does two important things.
1) It preserves the agency of the public. Such an organization does not enforce change, but rather engenders it by ensuring certain infrastructures, mechanisms, environments, etc. exist. The "code" (ie. propriety) is built into how people receive and partake in the infrastructure and environmental changes.
2) It flies under the radar and does not engender hostility. The last thing anyone needs is to have a system collapse upon itself. Forcing anything on anyone, no matter what it is, breeds enmity, and the initiative crumbles from within. 3 Likes |

Some good news, it appears that the Lagos Port Monopoly may have reached it's crescendo.
Other ports will have to be put to use based on market forces, this is good news for Igbo People, and can be used to reposition ourselves economically.
#IgboEmpowerment
ANNOUNCEMENT by Maerskline to discontinue calls at the Lagos Ports has elicited mixed reactions from stakeholders, even as the global shipping giant has come under the hammer for jumping ship at a time of distress.
Instructively, some stakeholders have appealed to the Federal Government to take a cue from Maerskline position and urgently address all operational deficits within the Lagos ports and other ports nationwide, to forestall possible exit of additional liners from the Nigerian ports.
Maerskline had, last Thursday, said henceforth its vessels will be calling at Onne Port, South-South Nigeria, and to give the Lagos Ports which has remained the official port designation for about 90 per cent Nigerian cargo a break.
The statement said in part: “it is our pleasure to announce that our Far East (China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore) service will no longer be calling at Lagos Ports but now comes to Onne directly, giving you a reduced transit time. This is effective this Jan 2020.”
Reacting, National President of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents, ANLCA, Hon. Tony Nwabunike, said in as much as the development appears unavoidable, Maerskline should review its policy to patronize more than one port at a time, in view of the existence of more than four functional and efficient ports in Nigeria.
The ANLCA leader urged President Muhammadu Buhari to take more than passing interest in the affairs of the ports industry and prioritize infrastructure expansion and rehabilitation.
His words, “I wonder why Maerskline waited until the implementation of the IMO regulation on sulphur emission control vessels before making a decision to leave Lagos. Anyway, however you look at it, one can also think that they are running away from the choked Lagos ports because vessel turnaround time determines their profit making, and I suspect that their level best profit business atmosphere is no longer guaranteed by the ports in Lagos.
“It is business decision we must respect but I will like to know if the vessels they are sending to Onne is compliant with the IMO present standard. Recently, I wrote to President Muhammadu Buhari telling him that Lagos ports has expired and saturated due to official negligence. The infrastructures have been overdue for expansion, overdue for maintenance and that his government should do more than it is doing.”
Also commenting, Chairman, Skelas Group, Prince Olayiwola Shittu, said “The spread of ports of call for vessels coming to Nigeria could be a panacea in resolving the issues of gridlock and congestion. The NPA and NIMASA should address the IMO concern before other liners cash on our inability to properly monitor compliance with international regulations.”
According to the Ikorodu Port Terminal chapter chairman of ANLCA, Prince Jimoh Lawal, Maerskline decision may also not be unconnected with stakeholders’ complaints of cargo liners charges and the need to stave off such controversy.
He said, “I haven’t seen the Maerskline notice to know the details, but you know their decision may be like telling us they are no longer comfortable with the port congestions in Lagos and that they have alternatives. I also think that they want to avoid complaints about liners’ overbearing charges regime such as vessel queue and delay charges, container delay deposits, storage charges etc. My only worry is that manufacturers and importers with operational base in Lagos and environs will have to face additional haulage costs and attendant risks.”
On his part, the Chairman, All Ports Unified Freight Forwarders Practitioners Association, APUFFPA, Prince Mike Okorie, said Maerskline latest decision will provide cost relief for owners of cargo destined for the South-South region and contiguous markets and manufacturing locations.
His words: “In the first place I can say I am a little happy because I will support any initiative designed to decongest Lagos ports, even at that, Lagos is still central to the sub region in terms of hub activities, so there is need to fix the ports there and stop liners and businesses from running away.
“I don’t know whether Maerskline is trying to seek avenue to operate its obsolete vessels under the IMO sulphur policy hence its decision to relocate to Onne. I think it is big enough to patronize both Lagos ports and other regional ports like Warri and Calabar.
“Cargo freight from Europe to Lagos ports is higher than from Europe to the Eastern ports, but despite that, Lagos became the official port under the policy of cargo destination since Obasanjo government. The pressure on Lagos ports also led to the explosion and failure of support infrastructure. The limit of unfair policy regime and unfair market control is what we are experiencing now.”
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/01/congestion-stakeholders-react-to-maersklines-plan-to-dump-lagos-ports/ Unfortunately, I think this is simply the North reminding Yorubas what they stand to lose if they don't remain submissive. It's a subtle message. I feel once Yorubas mellow down, the whole process will be reversed , and the Yoruba seaports and airway monopoly on Nigeria will be restored back to them. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Your knowledge is vast, I'm impressed. However, I think my point may not have been conveyed in the best manner as there's misunderstanding.
I'll clear that up now with key points.
1. The Spanish inquisition wasn't about religion. It was about creating a new racial hierarchy where those classified as white will rule over non-whites. Black West African Muslims known as Blacks/Moors ruled Europe from 711AD till about 1450AD. Whites became tired of living poor and destitute while the Blacks lived in castles. So they created a code of conduct based on White Empowerment and this code had certain requirements. They used Christianity to merely differentiate themselves from the Black Muslims, religion was used as a rally to unify their code around.
2. Once whites had their code of conduct, they ensured all members agreed to its standards and rules of conduct. Anyone not obeying the code were embarrassed, ostracized or in extreme cases outright harmed.
3. Once a sufficient number of European tribesmen got on-board with the new code,
they defeated the more powerful wealthy black rulership class of Europe and installed white empowerment. They had the numbers, and they had a code of conduct
4. Once they conquered Europe, they unified as white, and then took their show on the road (colonialism), during this phase they enshrined themselves bosses of all non-whites. The reason they beat Africans is because their unity as a group (white), and they had a code of conduct. For example a white will never join with a non-white group to fight a white group.
5. Africans didn't have this code, and the Europeans made African empires fight against each other while they supplied weapons to help us finish each other. Since we didn't have the same code where an African will never take up arms against another African for the benefit of an outside non-African group. I think you may now be seeing the importance of having a code of conduct. Today, an Igbo man can be given one appointment, and then be used to speak against other Igbos at the behest of other tribes in Naijiria, I think you can name a few. These folks would be what we describe as "off code" as they are Igbo attacking Igbo at the direction and benefit of other groups, whether NW or SW.
In short, Igbo need a strong code of conduct, then we need to enforce the code and use the code to get power, and then maintain and leverage that power.
It starts with having a code of conduct, where Igbo people consciously do or don't do certain actions. And every action is weighed and viewed with the ultimate goal of Igbo Empowerment.
You have good ideas. But to enforce this code you speak of. You will need a secret Igbo group, the type Chinenye is proposing. The group has to be one with affluence and with members bound together by oath of secrecy and untainted love for Igboland and Igbo people. Membership will be strictly by invitation. Before being admitted you must have been studied and seen to be Igbophillic through and through, in addition to being a highflyer in any aspect of human endeavor. Both of you are speaking of same concept but from different perspectives which are not really irreconcilable. 6 Likes |

1. You are wrong on this. It's actually the other way round.
Their public stated interests/objectives are of no interests whatsoever to us, because they can easily backtrack on them along the road or even give them a different interpretations to what we currently think or assume them to mean, we have been here with Yorubas before. Of more importance to us is their hidden agenda and aim, which we might not know, but following Yoruba past antecedents, we can make a very good guess, or just sit on the fence and let things pan allowing time to expose what is hidden to the light.
2. Since you are asking. Let me tell you what my gut feeling about what Amotekun is all about.
It is my personal conviction that Amotekun is only but a political bargaining chip by the Yoruba political elites with regards to the race for 2023 elections.
Amotekun is not a brain child of Yoruba commoners,even though their commoners are currently pushing it. Amotekun is a craft of Yoruba political elites and intelligentia. They hope to use it to force the North to concede the presidency to them at maximal profit margin, or at the minimal profit margin, let them retain the VP slot and not be forced to give it up to the East who the North might feel needs to be appeased in 2023 with VP slot.
If we naively join the Amotekun, then we would have made things easier for the Yorubas, as they would in their typical slimy style withdraw the proposal in the last minutes when the North must have conceded to their demands, leaving us with short end of the stick again.
My stance is that we stay completely out of the Amotekun thing, no support and no resistance, let them make play themselves. And if in the end it turns out that Amotekun is not a political bargaining chip as I think (which I truly doubt i am wrong on my thoughts about this), nothing stops us from coming in at the last minute to be the tie Breaker between the Yorubas and their Arewa bedfellows, and in so doing, ensure we reap abundantly from their own losses.
This is how we should approach things. Strictly cold and devoid of emotionalism.
Thanks. Nwokem you speak the truth here. Amotekum seems to be a bargaining chip for the Yoruba 2023 presidency. If Yoruba wants to be president so bad let them have it. It will only lead to Biafra for us 1 Like |

Now before I go into what Ndiigbo should do and why we should do that. A little background check on both past bed fellows cum warring factions will be expedient.
THE YORUBA ISSUE.
Yorubas are not our friends, infact they are worst than the Arewa they are maligning. After 8 years of Obasanjo presidency and 8 years of Osibanjo Vice presidency, that Yorubas are still eyeing the presidential position while Ndiigbo have been waiting on the line is a testament to the callousness of this group and their lack of consideration of justice and equity, just like their Arewa competitors.
If they are our friends, then they would not be talking about Yoruba presidency in 2023, they would be rallying the non existent Southern Nigeria behind Igbo presidency in 2023 by insisting the North had over to an Igbo man.
This altruistic gesture would be fairness, justice and equity and would unite the Southern Nigeria, the Union would be solidified by even reaching out to ethnic Northern Minorities for the VP position.
A political coalition of SS, SE, SW and NC would be enough to keep the Hausa-Fulani in check just a while longer, while we plan on way forward.
But these people are politically ruthless and have no room for fairness, so they reason they are well within right to go after the presidency position. They owe the Igbos nothing they feel. Igbos can go to hell they reason.
While you can't fault them for looking out for their own selfish interests, as I would want Igbos to start doing same. You would have to be livid with tactless Igbos who are too slow to read the script and are already falling for their Amotekun Trojan horse. I'm highly disappointed in NK and IPOB on this, though I had over sometime now come to expect very little exbhition of strategic thinking, planning and actions from IPOB.
The Yorubas are well within rights to use whatever tactics at their disposal to go at the Arewa, but it's our duty as Igbos to recognize treachery when we see one and do well to not make ourselves easy pawns in their political games aimed at our own political demise.

Kanu and IPOB will go to Igbo cultural organizations and town hall meetings asking for Igbo diaspora emotional support and financial commitment for Biafra. They will not go to town hall meetings of Ibibio, Ijaw, Igala, Urhobo, and all the other minorities they intend to co-opt into their misguided heterogeneous Biafra to ask for support because they know what the scores over there are.
But they are quick to denounce Igbo interests in other to accommodate the minorities.
They hope to create a new Biafran identity where we would have to give up our Igbo identity and interests to accommodate minorities, but they want to create this Biafra only through Igbo sacrifices and denigration even from the minorities.
IPOB and NK are dead weights to the Igbo unless they reconsider their current modus operandi. More and more Igbos will come to realize this.
You don't get allies by weakening your own camp, no one wants to be allied with weaklings.
You get allies by making yourselves so strong that powerless groups would come seeking for your protection.
Licking the faeces off Yoruba and minorities and sacrificing Igbo interests in the process while pandering to their's (Minorities interests) will never earn us allies. It will weaken us, while strengthening those minorities. And when they are strong, they will have no need for alliance with a weak Igbo. Alliances are built for group benefits. A weak Igbo has nothing to offer themselves, let alone minorities. This should be common sense.
We will gain allies when we put Igbo interests first and foremost, even if it means the demise of other groups. When we put Igbo interests first, we would pursue those interests at all cost, and when this is done, the Igbo will become strong again, and in time, the needed allies will come to Enugu and bend the knee! It's that simple.
