HOW TO END ENDLESS KILLINGS OF IGBO YOUTHS BY NORTHERN-ISLAMIC DOMINATED SECURITY AGENCIES IN ALA IGBO
72 hours after rogue personnels of @PoliceNG, @HQNigerianArmy & DSS invaded the peaceful prayer session/meeting of Igbo youths in Emene, Enugu, no reaction from Igbo leaders?
2/ Ala Igbo got 5 Govs; 15 Senators at the @NGRSenate, 30 members of @HouseNGR, yet the Northern-Islamic dominated @HQNigerianArmy, @PoliceNG, and now Department of State Services (DSS) constantly come to bay for blood in Ala Igbo, unchallenged? A recurring decimal since 2015?
3/ I've critically chronicled the history of Ndigbo since the amalgamation of Northern & Southern Protectorates by Britain in 1914, Ala Igbo has never had these army of cowards parading themselves as 'leaders.'
I stand to be corrected!
4/ Even mother hen protects & defends its chicks that these cowards.
It was against this backdrop that I laughed when @realRochas told @OUKtweets few weeks ago, responsibilities of leading Ndigbo lie on their heads. Heads of cowards? Heads of political merchants?
NEVER!
5/ Graveyard silence of SE Govs, Senators, Reps, amid incessant killings of Igbo youths since 2015 is sickening.
June 20, 2020, I had decried the dearth of leaders in Ala Igbo, since the exit of Eze Igbo Gburugburu, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, on November 26, 2011.
6/ Ending these mindless carnages, @MaziNnamdiKanu, must deploy 'Divide & Conquer' tactics.
Mobilise/Organise more than 50,000+ IPOB members for 7 days to shutdown human, vehicular & commercial activities across 5 SE Govt Houses, Constituency offices of 15 Senators & 30 Reps.
7/ THREE CORE DEMANDS
1. Immediate & unconditional de-proscription of IPOB in Nigeria, as it is not a terrorist group.
8/ 3. An end to the reckless assaults, arrests & killings of Igbo youths across Ala Igbo by the Northern/Islamic dominated @PoliceNG, @HQNigerianArmy, DSS.
These marauders in State Uniforms should go end Boko Haram & Fulani Herdsmen terrorism in Northern Nigeria. #NoWarInAlaIgbo
9/ END- As a formidable group, among other things, the @MaziNnamdiKanu-led IPOB must not shift grounds from this 7-day shutdown until the above-mentioned core demands are met.
If SE rulers order a genocide against their own people, then, #RevolutionNow can start from Ala Igbo.
2/ In several threads, I've continued to advocate for a #CompetitiveMediaIndustry in today's Nigeria
As it operates in the U.S., Nigeria, particularly, during the First Republic (1960-1966), had a #CompetitiveMediaIndustry, when the Media leaned towards Political Parties.
3/ Nigeria's First Republic (1960-1966) had newspapers like the West African Pilot which leaned towards Nnamdi Azikiwe's National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC); @nigeriantribune which leaned towards Obafemi Awolowo's Action Group (AG)...
Yesterday, @AriyoAristotle gave a scoop on the behemoth against the smooth passage of a clean #ElectoralBill towards a clean 2023 polls. The last 24hours, one had expected vehement reactions against SP Ahmad Lawan & his led @NGRSenate, zilch.
Today is March 30, 2021, but feelers from @nassnigeria, indicate the @DrAhmadLawan-led @NGRSenate ain't committed towards a clean elections in 2023.
3/ Irrespective of the political leaning, a clean #AmendedElectoralAct should concern you. Such Act should:
- Allow @inecnigeria call for nominations at least 360days to election & submission of candidates lists not later than 6months. This solves pre-election litigation issues.
2/ Since Jan 22, 2021 that joint taskforce of @HQNigerianArmy, @PoliceNG & DSS invaded Orlu & its environs abducting innocent men & women, with 9 now being charged for murder, how many Igbo Politicians, paid with tax payers money- Govs, Senators, Reps, etc have reacted?
3/ NONE! I've reached out to SE Senators to intervene on the @PoliceNG incarceration of innocent Umuigbo, but zilch.
Dear @MaziNnamdiKanu, conceding that ESN is a security stop-gap, it needs the legitimacy of law. Will cowards masquerading as leaders in Alaigbo support you? NO!
This is 2021. @NigeriaGov, @elrufai, other State Govs & LG Chairs must realise there are essential Roadway Signs, Traffic Signals, Pavement Markings which come with road constructions.
WAY FORWARD
Decentralise @FRSCNigeria. Let all 36 States + Abuja develop their own Road Rules.
FG, @kfayemi-led NGF & LG chairs should stop behaving like illiterates. Build roads with:
- Deep, Closed Drainages
- Walkways
- Streetlights
- Regulatory Signs: e.g., One Way, Stop Sign.
- Warning Signs: e.g., Pedestrian Crosswalk, School Signs
- Guide Signs: e.g. Route Markers
#DAY42: March 5, 2021 is exactly 42 days since Rev. Paulinus Offor, presiding minister HPICC, Umudim-Okporo, Orlu LGA, Imo State was abducted by @PoliceNG authorities.
@Govhopeuzodinma & CP Nasiru Mohammed should unconditionally release this innocent man to his church & family.
2/ Rev Offor was abducted when a joint taskforce of the 34 Brigade, Owerri; 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha & the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response wrongly invaded HPICC Okporo during its morning devotion, on Friday, Jan 22, 2021.
3/ In search of ESN, the taskforce in what was an intelligence error invaded HPICC, Okporo Jan 22. The team lead acknowledged this error, asking for a ceasefire. 42days after, why is Imo CP Nasiru Mohammed still incarcerating Rev. Offor, mulling to charge him on trump-up charges?
SEARCH FOR JUSTICE?
Dear @Govhopeuzodinma, you're aware of d Jan 22, 2021 invasion of Jude Okporo's church in Okporo, leading to the abduction, illegal incarceration of Rev Paulinus Offor. Offor is an innocent man, not a terrorist nor murderer as alleged by the State & @PoliceNG.
2/ Since the 1960s, Jude Okporo's church has contributed largely to the spiritual, economic growth & development of Imo State, & Nigeria at large.
Dear @Govhopeuzodinma, do use your good offices to secure the immediate release of Rev Offor. The wrong place was invaded on Jan 22.
3/ I'm aware Personnel of the 34 Brigade, Owerri; 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha, as well as the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team acknowledged they invaded the wrong place on the said day. If that was the case, Rev Offor shouldn't be incarcerated till date.
