Late 2017, many thought it would have marked the end of
IPOB struggle for total restoration of the sovereign state of BIAFRA. After the
release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu)
which lead to the proscription and terrorist tag on IPOB accompanied with
operation python dance 2 that left 28 defenceless Biafran youths dead, and many
missing.
The struggle seems to be over for some people who merely
admire and sympathize with the movement and its charismatic fearless leader.
Others who felt that IPOB and its leadership are blocking them from excelling
in politics of one Nigeria whom IPOB address as saboteurs were very excited and happy about what has
befallen IPOB and its leader, they went
so far to intensify their anti-Biafra activities by diverting the main goal of
the struggle which is total restoration of BIAFRA to a mere restructuring call
in order to make sure that IPOB and its course died a natural death. Some were busy campaigning and urging many to
go get their permanent voters’ card for election and IPOB is undeterred on her
vision and ideology and will forged ahead formidably dismantling all that comes
her way to distract her from making bold moves and plans that will lead Biafrans
to their dream Land.
IPOB continue to wax strong and stronger even in the
absence of the leader, one will argue that the absence of the leader of
indigenous people of BIAFRA somehow affected the Biafrans psychologically
because of the uncertainty behind his sudden forced disappearance without issuing
any statement and that didn't change anything concerning the struggle.
As 2018 ushered in, expectations became high and many
started predicting the where about of the IPOB's leader. As things unfolded
IPOB started exercising its powers through public disobedience like sit at home.
Proscription of political leaders telling them that they lost the legitimacy to
represent the people they claim to be representing. IPOB also was invited by UN
and also marked out a day to remember those who has fallen during the period of
operation python dance 2. One thing leads to another as what is said to be at
the appointed time was the emergence and reappearance of its leader far away in
the middle East Jerusalem Israel. He addressed Biafrans and the world at large
and fear grips the Nigeria govt and those who thought that Kanu died in the
hands of the military men who invaded his home. IPOB leader continued from
where he stopped but this time around he continues to insist that the man in
ASO rock is not Buhari rather a certain Jubrin from Sudan as he continue to
prove his assertion about the identity and variation between the main Buhari and
Jubrin from Sudan. Many world leaders took an unusual stand by openly
expressing their thoughts on why BIAFRA is due to go which has boost the hopes
of BIAFRANS believing that Biafra is close than expected.
The case of Ending of the long practiced Osu and Ohu
caste system endorsed by all the traditional rulers recently is also a sign
that shows that BIAFRA is at our door step.
Africa should indeed be proud of IPOB who has achieved a
great milestone and changing the mind set of Africans about politics and have
taught Africa the true way to fight for self determination
