We Banned IPOB Activities Because Nnamdi Kanu Was Losing Control – Southeast Govs
Chairman of the South-east Governors Forum, Governor Dave Umahi, has explained that the forum proscribed the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB to stop the rising tension in the zone.
According to him, Nnamdi Kanu, couldn’t manage the situation again so they had to step in.
He said IPOB has lost its original ideal by causing unnecessary tension and killings in the South-east which he said has affected investment drive in the region.
He added that the military did not attack IPOB members on Sunday as claimed by Mr. Kanu and that it was the IPOB members who threw bottles and stones at the military officers who were passing by.
“When you put a small fire, it can go very far and become difficult to control,” Mr. Umahi said.
“The IPOB activities were gradually getting out of the control of Nnamdi Kanu. Soldiers were passing on the way when IPOB members started throwing stones and other objects on them and it sparked off the clash between the group and the military.
“It is a shame that when this thing happened, a man called Charles Ogbu had to send phone numbers of all South-east governors, the Senate President and others and all our people could do was to be calling us to insult us. These are people who never experienced any war in their lives.”
He said the lives of northerners and all non-indigenes in the state and zone must be guaranteed at all times, warning that security agencies have been directed to deal decisively with anyone that tries to cause a breach of the peace.

BIAFRANS NEWS ALERT – EVERYONE MUST READ AND SHARE NOW. – DETAILS OF THE MASSACRE AND GENOCIDE COMMITTED IN BIAFRALAND.
IPOB/ARMY: WHAT HAPPENED IN ABIA STATE EXPOSED.
THE REAL STORY!
Let me tell you what happened. You can go to the bank with it…
The five governors met with Nnamdi Kanu, asked him what his issues with Nigeria were.
He told them “We want a referendum”.
They offered him money.
He refused.
They asked him if he will slow down at least for them to be reelected.
He refused. He stated clearly “there must be a referendum.”
The five governors stood in front of the press and promised to take his complaints to the presidency.
They met with the presidency.
They told Buhari “Mr. President, this guy cannot be bought. He wants Biafra by all means”.
Buhari asked them. “What can we do”?
They said. “We will give you Nnamdi Kanu, will you give us second tenure and allow us to loot?”
Buhari said “Deal”
They then devised a plan. In their plan, the army will come to Abia (and other eastern states) claiming they are going for Operation Python Dance 2.
Ikpeazu will then tell Kanu to relax that nothing is happening. He is covered. After Kanu has relaxed, then the army will attack.
This plan almost worked the first time. The plan also involved stationing the military all over South East to contain the Backlash after the assassination. However, something happened. The military men did not expect the boys at the compound not to run when they arrived. They were surprised at the suicidal nature of the boys ready to die to protect Kanu. So they retreated.
Ikpeazu again must act to make Kanu more relaxed so the army can then mount the second and last Maximum attack.
That was why Ikpeazu made the announcement about the Army withdrawing on Friday. That announcement was to induce Kanu to relax, sleep in his house and feel like he has been victorious. This will enable them attack, kill him and withdraw on Friday.
That attempt also failed. So Army was not happy and made an announcement on Friday indicating they will no longer withdraw.
They called the five governors and told them “You guys are not keeping to your side of the bargain”.
Now, they entered into their meeting and fabricated their last plan. “Let us proscribe IPOB, so Kanu will be shot at sight anywhere he is seen”.
My advice to Ndi Igbo. … Kick these 5 governors out by all means.
ALL LOVERS OF PEACE AND FREEDOM, PLEASE SHARE THIS TRUTH NOW SO THE WORLD WILL KNOW HOW THE GENOCIDE IN BIAFRALAND TOOK PLACE – THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.\

Imagine what the stupid governors who are our chief security officers said. IPOB members threw stones at the soldiers and they used live bullets to kill them. What happened to their endurance training? What then would have happened if IPOB had used matchets? Shameless fools.

A typical Nigerian youth do not want to do anything extraordinary to achieve something above ordinary!
Their common slogan is “I cannot come and die” …
So, when they see someone doing something their guts hasn’t allowed them do, they run their mouths like water tap.
You can hate me if you like… who your like epp? Issshh!
I will never join you to condemn Nnamdi Kanu!
His ways are not good; what are your own ways?
He is not doing it the right way; don’t tell us how best to do it, show us and we will support you!
You sit at the corner of your house dishing insults; how convenient!
But there’s something we must remember:
Nothing good in life come so easily!
There is always a huge prize to pay for freedom!!
This morning I remember the “Soweto uprising”…
Secondary school children in South Africa protested against a decree that was meant to design their future as a second class citizens on their own land.
It took the lives of over 700 of them but they won.
You see Mandela as a Hero, because he fought for the freedom of his people; But you don’t even know that Mandela embraced armed struggle to end the racist system of apartheid.
You don’t even know that Mandela best speech throughout his struggle was “No easy walk to freedom anywhere” …..
You don’t know that many protesters were killed during their struggles and the last that broke the camel’s back before his arrests was over 100 murdered by the SA police!
You don’t know that Mandela did set up an underground military wing
But he’s your hero and Kanu is not clap for yourselves ndi Facebook intelligent people…
In South Africa today, many Nigerians are living a life they couldn’t live in their own country… Mandela gave them that life. No black could live normal in South Africa until Mandela gave his freedom up for it …
No one deserves to die like those IPOB members, but they died gallantly fighting for their Land. May their soul Rest In Peace and may

KANU FAILED BECAUSE HE IS NOT A STRATEGIST & DOESN’T HEED ADVICE
BY Kelechi Mbamnozi
“Nnamdi Kanu, the acclaimed leader of IPOB was not supposed to be in any hiding, never.
The fact that he is not operating openly now tells you all something, he is on the wrong side of this agitation again. The struggle for self-determination even if possible, transcends beyond an individual.
When Kanu was released, he enjoyed the encomiums of the majority of Nigerians who saw the Federal Governments lawless detention as evil and unconstitutional because he never committed any crime to be locked up for 2 yrs.
He was hosted by Senators and Governors, his father’s house became a Mecca of sort. He enjoyed the people’s patronage.
Not until the butterfly started thinking himself a bird, the self-aggrandizement overwhelmed him so much that he declared: “there would not be any election in Anambra” and his reasons? Because Kanu said so.
He brought the battle into his home. He started receiving genuflection as a tiny god he approved himself of, and even Senator Abaribe who was among the people that signed his bail surety couldn’t speak reason into his skull, he spoke to him, Eastern Governors and some traditional rulers spoke to him, he was too pompous to apply wisdom, humility, and honor, but he wants others to accord him the same.
Now, all those people who would have stood behind him are doubtful of his intentions, so they stayed clear of him. Now, that they have started chasing him, where will he run into? “Lack of wisdom”.
Now, this is his SIN.
The moment he commissioned the local army on record, posted it out on social media and spoke openly at a rally about the need to have the Biafra Secret Force, he failed from grace, he not only entered into the nest orchestrated by the Nigeria State, he ignited the article in the Constitution of Nigeria that prohibits anyone from organizing an army against the sovereignty, whether you like it or not, Nigeria is a sovereignty, Biafra is not and was never so, it is not even a conquered territory.
We reached out to Kanu, advised him to be cautious and apply wisdom, he never listened, he cursed everyone who disagreed with him, we are all “Efulefu”. he cut off his communication channel with those who would have helped.
Instead of calling for the boycott of Anambra Election, even when you are not from Anambra, you could have channeled that energy to become a political force in the East, compel your followers to come out in masse and vote in the election and ensure that they elect a credible non-corrupt Governor and House Assemblies knowing that every power and politics is local, you would have scored a gigantic political WIN right there and the Federal Government will start taking you seriously.
You ensure that the same thing in Anambra is replicated it in all the South Eastern and the South Southern States, unseat all these criminal Senators, House members, Governors and let us have our own devoted people represent us for once, NO, Nnamdi was so arrogant that he forgot his culture.
Anambra of all places, the home of Azikiwe, where we have the timbers and calibers of the East, they saw his afront as an insult, just there alone, Kanu diminished his patronage among Eastern Elders who would have been his backbone. (Elders stay at watch as they send the young to battle).
In the course of my career, I have seen deaths, people who died in the face of war and the earth refused to bury them, their carcasses decaying that even vultures were so full that they could not feed anymore. I have seen men, real men, rebels in the face of war, their skulls shattered, their bones and legs ripped off, some bled to their death, but among all, there is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit, hahahahaaaa, there is no prosthetic for that.
Every single information coming out of his house was fake news propaganda, that the UN did this or that was all LIE. We are here at the UN Headquarters and never a time has any issue about Biafra brought to bear in any open sessions, General Assembly, Security Council Consultations, never. But our gullible hardworking brothers whom he met at home never wanted to listen, they believed his lies.
The agitation must be seen as non-violent as possible. The flagrant disregard of any advice was appalling. In the scheme of things, you need strategists, advisers, foreign policy analysts, intel ops and lots of professionals to sit down and drive a master plan…
So far, you can see that he is not a strategist, knows very little about building coalitions within and outside Nigeria, I mean coalitions of friendly countries who can reason with the cause, on many occasions, he switched off his phone because he is a stubborn overlord, look at the carnage he has caused and where is he now? In hiding.
There wouldn’t have been any need to hide. He should have been entering the Villa and House of Assembly, lobbying and strategizing, that’s how wise men WIN. Remember, “You stoop to Conquer”.
The Facebook warriors who are good at calling people names on on the social media and cannot have dialogue and reason together, over to you, let your name calling continue. How many people are dead now because of Kanus irresponsible stubbornness? And among all those deaths, none of his family members are involved. Now the government of Nigeria has categorized IPOB as a terrorist organization, that’s what you get when you start to organize an army, its going to be tougher for Easterners who are travelers.
My advice, if you wish to travel outside Nigeria, clean up your social media platforms, you could be turned back at any point of entry because of what the Federal Govt just did.
Final words, all of you that are noise makers on social media, have you ever thought of something very covertly possible? That Nnamdi Kanu may have been paid off to quash the Biafra struggle once and for all? That all these charades were staged? hahahahahaaa.
Why did he object against any good advice to go about this struggle perfectly and legitimately? He came back from the UK, was arrested by the Nigerian government that is more or like subservient to the British Lords, Ndi Igbo, wake up before the water reaches your necks.
If we fail to apply wisdom in settling our impasse, we will all perish as fools. I am not going to perish because I see things differently. I don’t wish anyone death, can we now wear our thinking cap?? Now?? I mean Now?

IGBO, IPOB AND THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT.
Though not all Igbo’s are IPOB members but all IPOB are Igbo’s and I haven’t said or commented anything serious since the beginning of IPOB nonsense but last night my temperature rose and my blood boiled after reading and watching posts on Gossipmill Naija.
There are a lot of videos made by Igbo women condemning Nigerian Army’s action and threatening the Presidency, Northerners and Hausa’s specifically yet they call themselves Nigerians, when Boko haram were killing people no responsible man from the North has sympathize with them even when they are killed, Nigerian Army has declared IPOB as a terrorist group which is equal to the Boko Haram and unscrupulous elements calling themselves elites among Igbos are all over social media crying and threatening Nigeria and it’s sovereignty in the name of Human Right, where on earth human right gave you total supremacy over an entire nation? You claimed to have soldiers equivalent to the U.S army and BSS equivalent to FBI and you declared war against the Nigerian state and when the Nigerian army came to defend Nigerian territory you are all over social media crying, why?
IGBO Brothers and sisters please get sense and don’t let yourself be a terrorist.
