The Igbos of the Southeast are without a doubt the most prosperous and commercially minded peoples in Nigeria, and whenever their heartland is cut off to commercial activity, both the region and the country suffer. Although the economic loss to Nigeria has not yet been quantified, I will venture a guess and suggest that it has cost this country close to a billion dollars a year.
But what impresses me even more is that many well-known persons in the Southeast avoid irritating IPOB by scheduling their activities on a non-offensive day, despite the fact that ordinary people are being forced to comply with these unlawful instructions by armed and unarmed members of IPOB.
Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s nominee for president, will serve as an excellent example. Without a question, Peter has the most ardent supporters. They regularly hold marches with one or two million participants each day, but only a few hundred or thousand show up.
include the Southeast in particular. But oddly, whenever IPOB organizes its Monday sit-in, this hyperactive group of people suddenly becomes calm.

What’s going on here? Do they merely honor and respect IPOB so much or is there some sort of coordination? Or is it phobia?
To honor their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who was in court that day, IPOB issued another sit-at-home order across the Southeast on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. Obidients once more cast their votes with their feet.
It is not just them, either. What about Peter Obi, their leader, who has never hosted a gathering in the Southeast on IPOB consistent up-and-comer. We can’t go from Buhari, with a territorial outlook, to Obi, with an IPOB mindset!
We overlooked the undeniable indications about Buhari that were self uncovering. Presently, take a gander at where that has driven us to following seven years. Our economy has imploded. Expansion is 20.52%, the most noteworthy it has been in 17 years. Our cash had shed over 100 percent of its worth, going from ₦199 to $1 on the equal market in 2015, to ₦705 today.
What’s more, how could we arrive? Since we chose a man with a provincial mentality who encircled himself with generally individuals from his own religion, locale and nationality. Also, in the wake of solidifying himself in power, how did he respond? He started restoring Boko Haram, the very bunch that named him as their mediator in converses with the Central Government on November 1, 2012.
What’s more, how frequently did Buhari censure Boko Haram before 2015? Barely of all time. All things considered, he safeguarded them. On June 3, 2013, Buhari said that then President Jonathan’s tactical hostile against Boko Haram was “hostile to North”.
Furthermore, notwithstanding these conspicuous indications of closeness and a local mentality, we wrongly elected Buhari.
Also, presently, we have Peter Obi, who, as Buhari with Boko Haram, isn’t willing to censure IPOB. Rather, assuming they issue a request, he submits to them.
What expectation is there for the corporate presence of Nigeria on the off chance that we choose a man who can’t bear upping to a gathering like IPOB who trust in the dissection of Nigeria. As a matter of fact, not in the least does Peter Obi not confront IPOB, he submits to them when they express sit at home!
A man that many individuals who were referred to IPOB specialists presently uphold similarly as hostilely as they once upheld regardless help IPOB? Choosing such an individual doesn’t seem OK and it doesn’t make any difference the number of individuals Peter that backers to lie against me, I will continue to say these reality. I was borne without the apprehension and disgrace chemicals.
Peter and IPOB are dangerously close. Allow Peter to console the people who have faith in the corporate presence of Nigerians, by freely censuring IPOB and afterward booking his next 2 million man walk in the Southeast for the exceptionally next IPOB sit at home day. Then we will realize he is for Nigeria’s solidarity. We would rather not supplant Buhari’s child gloves on Boko Haram and herders for Peter Obi’s stroke of IPOB.
We have had the Buhari experience. Furthermore, it is a harsh encounter. We don’t need a Buhari supportive of max, who will do to IPOB how Buhari is at present treating Boko Haram. Restoring them, paying them ransoms, haggling with them, and dealing with them like state entertainers. Once is sufficient!
A Nigerian president is naturally a President. What sort of President could Peter Obi be in the event that he can’t tolerate upping to IPOB? IPOB expresses sit at home, and he timidly complies. Is that the way in which IPOB will boss him around assuming he gets to Aso Shake? Tufiakwa!
In the event that Obi must eventually bow to IPOB, then, at that point, how might he confront Boko Haram, ISWAP, herders, and desperados? Shortcoming is helpful for illegal intimidation. If all else fails, go to Kaduna and see whether Nasir El-Rufai’s approach of paying herders and scoundrels finds brought the harmony he guaranteed it will bring.
In the event that you complete a political DNA test on Peter Obi, you will track down measurable markers for IPOB parentage in him. For what reason do I say that? Peter Obi needs to be the Leader of Nigeria. Hence his Obidience (to acquire his words) ought to be to the Nigerian Constitution. However, each time IPOB provides a request, Obi complies with it!
Presently, in the Northwest, desperados are gathering charge from networks. Simply envision in the event that Kwankwaso paid such a duty to scoundrels, Nigeria would be ablaze. He would be forced to leave. However, IPOB orders sit at homes in the Southeast and Obi is Obidient to them. However, Obidients celebrate him!
I’m posing appropriate inquiries that should be inquired. I can’t be digital harassed by IPOB specialists taking on the appearance of Obidients and maligning me, or by supported legal counselors requesting of the Monetary and Monetary Wrongdoings Commission against me. We chose Buhari by neglecting to pose these inquiries.
Peter Obi notices IPOB’s orders more steadfastly than he notices his congregation’s tenets. He has been known to avoid mass incidentally, when he has different responsibilities. However, he has NEVER been known to skip Obidience to IPOB. In the event that they request a sit at home, Peter Should comply!
Peter Obi and his Obidients troop out all at once for their Obidient rallies. Then, at that point, when IPOB declares a sit at home, they troop in. Troop out, troop in. Their solidarity ought not be just to digital harasser and affront on the web. Show Nigerians what you folks are made of. Confront IPOB!
Let this find the stowaway end. Let the wait-and-see game be a relic of past times. Close my mouth until the end of time. The following time IPOB reports a sit at home, Peter Obi ought to revitalize his Obidients for a 2 million man walk around the same time. Then, at that point, the remainder of Nigeria can view them in a serious way! Missing that, they will just diminish after their constituent loss in 2023.
Furthermore, the disarray proceeds. Work Party says it is against the evacuation of the fuel endowment system and will battle it fervently. In the mean time, Peter Obi is promising to eliminate fuel endowment. What’s going on here? Might two stroll at any point together aside from they be concurred?- Amos 3:3
These basic inquiries will continue to be posed of Peter Obi and the other Official applicants. No measure of coercion will inspire me to ease off. I was one of the desolate voices that cautioned Nigeria against Buhari. See what occurred. In 2023, we should find solutions before we vote!
