I always tell people agitating for Biafra that SE leaders are very demonic and that's fact. They don't care about the people they only care about their pockets. That's why we beat Ekweremadu last time, the Yorubas here should understand why the masses in SE see Nnamdi Kanu as the voice of the people but the Yorubas unfortunately don't like him

jneutron4000:
I must say that you are the first Igboi see that say the truth on nairaland concerning the atrocities of Zik on how he planned with the North and also convince some saboteurs in the west, to destroy the Yoruba civilisation. I say to some Igbos whenever we argue about it that out of the 3 regions in Nigeria, the western region was far the best in terms of development and progress and it was the leader in person of Awolowo of that same Western region that things was working perfectly that got to be the first political prisoner immediately after Nigeria's independence. The Igbo in person of Azikwe heavily planned it to bring down the west because he could not rule over us

IduNaOba:
Even if igbos higher fulani to be their security..
How is it the business of others?
We support every region to do what they want. They should support our decision.
Period.
For those crying... 2023 will be funny
We dey wait Sha
We dey wait

jneutron4000:

NimrodEndOfDays:
but when you say it the same people would say he is scamming us? Like seriously? Scam an Igbo man? Unless that's what he wants. If the Igbos were not interested in sepration, Nnamdi Kanu would have gone extinct!!

please the Igbo populace do not believe and support suppression of any type.
You are judging the Igbo from afar.
Nnamdi azikiwe is not celebrated in igboland as ojukwu or even small boy kanu.the reason is obvious.
I read about the atrocities of zik and tafawa against the western region as they were spurred on by the British.
They had help in the person of Samuel ladoke akintola to break the power of the action group,formed a new party for him and sponsored him heavily,gave akintola the control of a Barack in abeokuta as footsoldiers against his political opponents.
The height of injustice was when the Federal collabo of zik and tafawa helped akintola to rig election against awolowo with the help of the military, awolowo and action group party faithfuls protested and the Federal government of zik and tafawa bundled him into prison for treason.
The Federal tyrants went ahead to cause commotion in the western region and in the ensuing fracas,carved out the Midwest to cut down the western region.
But the argument of the Igbo is that opportunity came when zik was no longer a political authority as ojukwu became the leader for chief awolowo to take his people and go and everyone will be free from the caliphate but awolowo decided to stick with the system.
Maybe the British threatened him or worse still the British threatened the western region because lots of meetings happened that weren't recorded.
The meeting of the British high commission with the emirs of the North to abandon operation araba wasn't recorded.
But I think it was mere threat because the British can't organize other Africans to fight the south.
I repeat the Igbo populace does not share the ideals of the political class.thats why our political class hold unto Abuja with all their lives.
They are on their own

danot1030:
The same Nigeria policing model that have failed the nation?

I thought Igbos are smarter than this.

Although it's very cleared they are afraid of northern opposition.

Agitation for biafra is afterall a political fraud and blackmail.

hopexter:


Do the Igbos seem like people with brains to do anything? Bro let's take our mind of it before we get even more disappointed

Rumxy:
I Smh for people who are calling the Governors cowards but let me make some things clear, we Igbos might not always be on the same page with our leaders but they are right on this security outfit. We are now politicizing this regional security stuff so much at the detriment of its real purpose which is to secure the lives and properties of the region.

Every state and region has its own peculiarities and the security outfit should be tailored to those peculiarities. So because SW set up Amotekun to fight herdsmen amidst other issues, the SE should also set up theirs to fight herdsmen forgetting that herdsmen killings are not the main security challenge in the SE. If we can be honest to ourselves, the major security challenge in the east is Armed robbery and kidnapping and these crimes are not perpetuated by Fulani herdsmen because they don't really hold sway in the SE.

Farmer/herder clashes occur mostly at border villages in Enugu and Ebonyi because they share borders with kogi and Benue states which makes it easy for the herdsmen to penetrate. This led to the establishment of forest guards, neighborhood watch, vigilantie groups that work and share info with the police and since then how many casualties have the SE recorded from herder/farmer clashes. Why change a winning team just because you want to copy what others are doing.

I am very optimistic the governors considered all these before adopting the NPF community police model because what we need most in the SE is intelligence gathering to help strategize and locate the hideouts of these armed robbers and kidnappers and these criminals are in the urban areas not in remote villages like herdsmen. Since the community police officers will be comprised of indegenes who know their terrains, the issue of sabotage by the non-indigenous elements of the NPF will be highly subdued. I still believe if and when the SS region decides to set up their regional security outfit, there is every possibility that they will follow this SE model because of the almost similar terrain and security situation on ground presently.

Please let us be properly guided. The primary purpose is Security and not politics.

Jack500:
See them useless cowards, yet these fools will open their rotten mouth to call the great Yoruba cowards, like the governors, like the followers, no wonder Ojukwu ran away and leave them at the mercy of FG to wipe them out.

Amotekun was a political tool. So you need a soothsayer for that?

Don't we all know. Now some yoots who didn't even read the op are regurgitating all over the place because they have suddenly started loving Igbos and wanting a partner in their despondency.

Rumxy:


I don't think it was a political tool per say but a genuine effort by the SW leaders to secure their people having given up on the nation's security apparatus. In my opinion, I feel it was rushed and not properly planned which was why it received the backlash that it did that made it look like a political tool though they are trying to rectify their mistakes.
The yorubas will never agitate for sovereignty because the current structure favours them.
From another angle, it might be their own way of scaring the north to submit to their presidential ambition who knows, which also makes it a somewhat political tool.
Politics is a dirty game and who plays smart wins.

ChoCho54:
You are very stupid for this useless comment!

When did you start loving Igbos and caring about their well being?

Are you into any pact with any Igbo group to form any security network?

Your Amotoekun took of on the wrong footing and you are here blaming others for avoiding the mistakes you made.

You needed a Yoruba militia because it dawned on you that Tinubu and osunbande won't be getting the presidency on a platter against your hope in 2015. Swine!

You're only good at beating chest and making mouth on Social media just like your leaders. Abeg shift to bush
