A Clarion Call- Ndigbo Rise Against Wike's Genocide In Obigbo! Rise! by DiagnoPolitics: 9:16am On Oct 31, 2020 |
In this country if you don't have the potentials to use your brains and brawns to cause problems for your detractors, they will extinguish and terminate you from the surface of the earth as long as they think they can get away with it. Massacre of genocidal proportion is currently going on in Obigbo, Rivers while we fold our hands. Wike's Genocide on Igbos As I speak Gov. Wike has ordered genocide against the people of Obigbo in Rivers state, a town known for it's proud and unalloyed pro-Igbo stance. For those who do not know, Obigbo in Igbo literal translation means "Heart of Igbos" and was part of the old Aba province pre-civil war but its name was changed to "Oyigbo" by the non-Igbo military administration after the civil war by fiat, in a mass campaign of vendetta and mass de-Igbonization in the riverine Igbo-speaking areas in order to artificially make look Igboland look landlocked. The word "Oyigbo" has no viable meaning in the greater Igbo literal context nor in another indigenous language spoken in Rivers state. As we speak, soldiers called in by Governor Nyesom Wike are going about with guns in broad daylight dragging young men out of the safety of their homes and butchering them in cold blood. Young ladies are being raped, women and children are not also spared. This magnitude is far greater than the 20-10-20 Lekki massacre, but there is attempted media blackout on this issue, this media blackout is not unplanned. Wike is paying huge sums and pulling strings in the dark to cover the atrocities of the military he invited to decimate Obigbo and level it to the ground. He has a ready-made alibi when activists and the international community starts asking questions, his alibi is- "Oh..We are fighting the proscribed IPOB". But I dare to ask, are the raped young ladies, murdered women and children "IPOB fighters" he claims he is fighting? Wike is hiding under the "IPOB alibi" to murder the people of Obigbo for their pro-Igbo ethnocultural stance. Let it be known that Wike is not Igbo but an Ikwerre man with very strong anti-Igbo sentiments since his days as a local government chairman till this day. I'll prove it to you, Wike renamed the Old Aba road (named after Aba, another Igbo city) after Yakubu Gowon who committed genocide by murdering millions of Igbo natives during the civil war, Gowon is currently on the list of the most murderous dictators of all time together with the likes of Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, and Pol Pot according to documentary and history sources such as List25, about-history and other reliable references. Wike is not killing any "IPOB" stranger in Rivers state as some of his paid online minions claim, he is killing the people of Obigbo who are ethnic and indigenous Igbos in the military-created geopolitical Rivers state in which other ethnic groups such as the Kalabari, Ikwerre, Ogoni also exist. The pictoral evidence of the Obigbo massacre are scattered all over the web. What Ndigbo should do Ndigbo we are a great race, renown for our grit and intellect, locally and globally. We are not a minority group but we are scattered all over the world and must leverage on our strengths and resources to get the world listen to us, we have made our plights trend severally and got the world to listen to us, from RadioBiafra in 2015 to the EndSARS struggle today. The media blackout in Obigbo cannot continue to exist, the world must start asking questions. The pen will continue to remain greater an mightier than the sword and we do have our pens. - Every media house and online media owned by the Igbo must start putting Obigbo massacre on their headlines, bring it to the fore and start asking questions, call Wike to order. - All Igbo intellectuals, think-tank and socio-cultural groups should start releasing statements condemning the massacre in Obigbo. Write to Amnesty International, and other international human right advocacy groups and draw their attention to the killings being perpetrated by Wike in Obigbo. - Igbo intellectuals should start writing to International powers and media houses- CNN, Aljazeera, FOXnews, SKynews, BBC etc. Educate them on the genocide currently going on in Rivers, pile hot coals on Wike's head. - Wike has properties and investments abroad, these properties can be identified and seized by foreign governments as proceeds of corruption. Letters should be written to these governments. The Visa ban option for himself and his family should also be advocated strongly. Every Igbo and lovers of Ndigbo on the social media media should start writing. There are powers higher than Wike the Wicked and we must connect with those powers immediately and save Obigbo from extrinction. Wike's statement that "he has no problems with Igbos but IPOB", establishes one truism, even though it's a facade and a ploy to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it. It establishes the fact that he is NOT IGBO. We need to establish this on record just in case he leaves government in 2023 and starts wearing 100 red caps like a clown and struggling to speak Igbo at campaign grounds while looking for votes like Rotimi Amaechi does today after leaving government house. Wike is not a very cerebral man, it is very clear from all his speeches and like a typical Nigerian politician he has no viable political manifesto to sell but to appeal to ethnic sentiments during political campaign in order to deceive the undiscerning. We must be ready for him. Ndigbo cannot continue to be insulted and killed by callous political loafers without grave personal, familial and financial consequences to the killer, whether he leaves government or not. Whenever he travels outside this country, he must be confronted for the wasting of innocent lives. We are not voiceless minorities. Ndigbo rise and save Obigbo from the scale of massacre witnessed in Odi during Obasanjo's time as an elected president. Wike has sworn to contribute his quota in reducing Igbo population. The genocidal war against Igbo did not end in 1970, Wike has vowed to continue from where others stopped and must be resisted with every resources at our disposal and every fibre within us. Deeme nu!

Stop all this nonsense. Why should he speak igbo when you said it yourself hes not igbo ? It was reported that the young men exchanged shots with the army, the army comes back to finish the battle. Help connect the dots how all this is Wike's doing directly or indirectly ? Are you not supposed to be aware that all of Wike's words was to divert attention from Rivers State and to thereby prevent even more than one community to be flooded with federal might? Use your senses and calculate what he's not saying in what he's saying. He's saying i wished i could but to prevent the entire state and extending to the region turned into battleground, men lay low Use your senses, when speaking on delicate issues of such sensitivity, it's done with lots of astute silence 26 Likes 3 Shares |

Bigflamie: As usual Wike, this or that. Who shot at the armies, when you shot at the army what do you expect? Igbo this, igbo that, i have absolutely no issues wth igbo, i have zero ties with Rivers, but even have ties with igbo. But under this guilt-tripping, you guys keep trying to get away with things without wanting to be responsible. Be it police or army, if you shoot at any security agency anywhere in the world, you are deliberately asking for a full truck load He's doing the smart thing, which is lie low, watch the situation and see how things pans out. Do you think the FG or Army likes Rivers state? They are looking for the slightest excuse to flood Rivers with army under any form of hypocrisy, he's preventing that from happening even if it means a small community is turn upside down. By standing aside, the dust will settle, not to further rouse things You guys don't understand the game play. Any small thing you rush to type without thinking. You're totally unstrategic just like the op, i hope even the Op learns a thing or two. Stvpid If you feel you hate Rivers, leave. Simple No external group can be in any Ndigbo land with arms forming an army. Stop being stvpid and be rational 26 Likes 5 Shares |

True talk. Rivers state annexed obigbo because of their oil but refused to develop it. That town has remained undeveloped and stagnant since ever joining Rivers state. What portion does Obigbo have in Rivers State despite allowing its name to be changed to Oyigbo - a foolish nomenclature that has no meaning in any known language. You claimed that atrocities committed by rioting mob was done by IPOB, with what evidence? Was the mob waving Biafran or IPOB flag in the attacks? Has IPOB taken responsibility for the attacks as done by terrorist groups like boko haram, Miyetti Allah etc? Even if IPOB members were part of the rioters, did they riot or commit atrocities in the name of IPOB or in their personal capacity? Have you ever heard or seen any IPOB official give orders to IPOB adherents for atrocities to be committed during IPOB demonstrations? IPOB protests and demonstrations has always been peaceful marches. If it was IPOB at Obigbo, who then was responsible for the atrocities and police attacks at Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo etc etc. Was it also IPOB looting warehouses all over Nigeria? The liquidation of Obigbo is unjustified and may be masking other sinister motives. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

I was reading and laughing at the boys because they didn't know what they were starting. The Ndigbo has perpetually made one particular mistake throughout it's history which is being repeated again in this scenario. They go pick fight with higher authority unstrategically and when the whole house is about to be burnt down they begin to cry. In war, always be careful to start only what can be finish within on'e might and abilities, otherwise, one would get overwhelmed in the middle and when other people who weigh their actions and consequences stay put, they are accused and called names because of their intelligence Next time they want to start fights, let them weigh the PROs and CONs, so they won't go crying when the heat is turned on.

Something has to be done! The taunts from the ikwerres and some section of the ijaws since the end of the war has to stop! It must stop! Part of the reason charlatans like Wike always jump on every opportunity to insult igbos is because the nonviolent nature of the igbos assures them that there will be no repercussions! We must learn to meet evil with evil! I have said it here many times that if the igbo man continues to turn the other cheek as we are always told is the best, these minions will slap us dumb! If you want to survive in the land of the evil people, be ready to meet evil with evil... That's reality! It's the same reason I don't support ipob.. The day they are ready to meet fire with fire, then I'm game. Nigeria is ceaselessly and desperately prosecuting policies to annihilate igbos! Igbos must respond in a very emphatic way!
