But why’s it that most IPOBians on social media are usually faceless people? 🤔👀

Freedom fighting is one thing, terrorism and rabble rousing are another.

I’ve never been a fan of MNK’s approach to “freedom for Biafrans”, but even though One Nigeria, as it were, doesn’t seem to be working for all, there are subtler ways of getting what you want. (NB to Nigerians: An Obi presidency is NOT one of such.)

In peace and conflict resolution, there should always be room for negotiations and concessions, else an outright call to confrontation.

It is foolhardy and kamikaze to start or engage in a war you possibly cannot win (alone). War requires preparation, logistics, alliances, and tact, and with more odds stacked against you, you cannot afford to rely on sheer brute force and faux bravado.

Yes, to a large extent, the Igbos are economically and sociopolitically disadvantaged, due to the lopsided, non-progressive structure of the Nigerian system that tends to favor a particular region / set of tribes and individuals.

But trust me, if the country were working properly, there’d be little to no separatist agitations as we have it rn. These agitations stem primarily from want of RESOURCE CONTROL, and for Nigeria, restructuring that lopsided structure is the first step, no matter whodunnit.

For the likes of Simon Ekpa and his e-minions who believe they’re more Biafran than the average Igbo, you guys seriously need to understand that the older generation who experienced the Civil War are and will never be in support of this your approach to our so-called freedom.

Remember, no sovereign nation will treat acts of terroristic separatism with kid gloves. None!

Taking sovereignty from a country in recent times is a different ball game. If you think violence/war is the only answer, how ready are you for its consequences? Apparently, zilch.

The late Biafran Supreme Leader Ojukwu, no doubt, by participating in a Nigerian election wanted a total reintegration of the Igbos into the country. I believe if he were still alive today, he’d be 💯 #OBIdient to achieve this goal: a Nigeria that works for all tribes & tongues.
