Nigerians Now Identifying As IPOB To Defend Peter Obi’s Image – The Same IPOB They Called Terrorists

While the Nigerian electorates are having a campaign frenzy with the IPOB name, the armed forces and their Ebubeagu collaborators are not relenting in the killing of Ìgbò young men and women, in our villages.

The same people who have termed IPOB as terrorists in the near past, and have called on the armed forces to kill innocent men and women of Ìgbò extraction, are today defending the name (not the agitation) for their selfish gains – to exonerate Peter Obi of any negativity that comes with the IPOB tag. The same negativity they brought upon the peaceful IPOB.

Simply put, Nigerians are now saying we are all IPOB, just to save face for the campaign of an Ìgbò son who detractors have tagged to the agitation for Biafra. Not because they care about Ìgbò suffering in Nigeria.

The same people who called IPOB terrorists are now identifying with the name. Isn’t it laughable how Nigerians are dubious, evil, and generally lack foresight?

These same people who are now adding IPOB to their names to secure Peter Obi’s face will still insist that the sit-at-home is a useless venture and that Nnamdi Kanu deserves to be in jail, or even dead. Many of them will insist that the Fulani have no hand in the killings and kidnappings in the East – they blame it all on IPOB.

I remember some months ago when I said that every Ìgbò person is an Indigenous Person Of Biafra (by heritage), and half-intelligent people came for me with insults. They didn’t understand what I was saying. But today they do. Today, when their beacon of hope (Peter Obi) has fallen under the battle ax that they created, they now seek shallow sympathy and affiliation with IPOB.

Now, before your very eyes, the fact that every Ìgbò person is an IPOB is being echoed from every corner of Nigerian political and social space, to discredit the aspirations of Peter Obi, a noble Ìgbò man. You now wish the false and negative terrorist tag was not ascribed to IPOB (the entire Ìgbò race) in the first place. But I am afraid you are somewhat late. Because you made this bed. So you must lay upon it.

You can choose to understand the plight of Ndi Ìgbò, and the reason why IPOB is asking for equity (Biafra) in a failed Nigeria OR you can continue with the smear campaign just to paint the Ìgbò as troublesome people.

Whatever you do, be assured that the truth will always surface. And that the truth will always win. Just like it is doing now in your present campaign for Peter Obi.

My advice to Nigerians is for them to repent of their Ìgbò-phobia, and understand that the lies you tell against Ndị Ìgbò today will always catch up with you.

Do your best to understand what IPOB (as a body) stands for, and what IPOB (as a people) suffers from. If you understand this, then you would not be in a hurry to tag IPOB as terrorists. And if you don’t tag them as terrorists, you will not find yourself shamefully but pretentiously identifying with IPOB, to save face for your candidate Peter Obi.
