IPOB Crisis Bigger Than Deadly Boko Haram Insurgents In Borno – Governor Shettima
The Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB separatist crisis being spearheaded by Nnamdi Kanu is bigger than the activities of the deadly terrorist group Boko Haram, Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima has said.
According to The Nation, The Governor stated this when he spoke in Owerri on Monday night during a meeting with Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, when he led a truce team of North’s governors to the state, Shettima said the threats posed by the Nnamdi Kanu-led secessionist IPOB to the nation’s survival are far bigger than those posed by Boko Haram.
He said it was for this reason that he had to leave the killings going on in his state behind to join Governor Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto) Simon Lalong (Platueau) Aminu Bello Masari (Katsina) and Abubakar Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), on visits to Abia, Rivers and Imo, seeking peace.
“Only this morning, 25 people were killed in my state via explosions carried out by three suicide bombers, but I have to be on this mission because of what it means to the nation,” he said.
No fewer than 20, 000 people are believed to have been killed by Boko Haram since the Islamist sect started its attacks in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, especially and partly in Abuja and some other parts of the country about eight years ago.
This also include the infamous abduction of 276 Chibok schoolgirls in April, 2014. More than 100 of the girls are still in the sect’s custody.

Crises ? What crises ? . You have created your crises in Biafra land to justify the military invasion invasion, hoping that by slaughtering unarmed Biafran Youths military might stop the agitation for Biafra. You are wrong, Totally wrong !
Your so-called peace mission to Biafra land is a sham, to say the least because you should have done that prior to sending in troops to invade Biafra land to murder unarmed and innocent people you call your fellow Nigerians.
By your own admission a bomb which obviously was planted by boko harm in which killed innocent citizens of your state and that the same terrorist organisation which you and Northern brothers call “Insurgents” have killed over 20,000 people and you busy chasing unarmed Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB that have not harmed a single Nigerian shows your double standard insensitive , and some may say clueless you are.
There is no one Nigeria, and there will never be because the Nigerian state which controlled by Hausa/ Fulani with the helping hand of successive British governments have told us that in a number of ways. Alas ! Biafra must be restored by peaceful means whether you like it or not. It does matter how many Biafrans you murder. All HAIL BIAFRA

No Sir, IPOB is never a problem. Just tell Buhari to wipe out the IGBO race and the problem will be solved. Mad people, you went to that stupid Rochas to seek for peace is it not? Yes because he is that IPOB that is your problem. You are all mad because all those men, ROCHAS, OBIANO, IKPEAZU, UGWUANI AND UMEAHI are all recalcitrant and nonentities as long as Biafra land is concerned now. You should not bother them much because they need time to plan on where to go because they do not have home in Biafra land any more. They think it is all a joke but we await the verdict of history.

Why won’t Shettima say so? Is bokoharam not his and northern leaders and elders handiwork, created to intimidate, and destroy GEJ govt and kill northern christians and southerners? Imagine idiot saying armless and innocent IPOB is a more deadly than Bokoharam. This confirms the fact that all northern muslims are terrorists and see nothing in spilling blood. God’s judgement is coming soon. Has IPOB carried any arm? No!! Have they killed even a single person? No! Have they raped anyone? No! So what is deadly about them? Answer me? You toothless idiot called Shetima who is complicity of bombingf IDP and kidnapping Chibok girls.
