The Undoing Of The Nigerian Security Forces And Their Failed Attempt To Blackmail IPOB

 The Undoing Of The Nigerian Security  Forces And Their Failed Attempt To Blackmail IPOB

I am not surprised at the games being played in the East by the Nigeria security and I don't even expect anyone with indept knowledge of the happenings in Nigeria to be surprised.

While other countries of the world try to solve their immediate problems with sound solutions, the Nigerian government on the other hand uses trouble to solve problems. It is more and more problems for them.

When Boko Haram started in the North, the only thing that came to the mind of the Fulani government of Nigeria was to round up Boko Haram members and shot them barbarically in the head, including their leader. Nigeria security singlehandedly created the monster ravaging the North today.

When Mazi Nnamdi Kanu made some striking revelation about the game the presidency is playing in Aso Rock with regard to who is actually in Aso Rock as president, they came with operation python dance to assassinate him. They ended up killing hundreds of Igbo youths. Imagine what IPOB would have turned into with the murder of IPOB Leader, just imagine it.

The youths in the South East are even ready to go all out in pursuit of freedom, using every available means. It was actually Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that is restraining them and serving as a kind of order to them. Imagine what would have happened had it been he was killed in 2017 by the Nigerian Army.

Today, the DSS is seriously trying to cause problems in the East. They believe that the only way to get the East arrested is to cause unrest in the East so as to force  the military to move in and probably attack the innocent people. That is their only way of solving problems by creating more problems. Killing civilians and making them blame themselves for the atrocities committed by the military.

However, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have created a herculean task for the Nigerian military with the way he created and orders ESN. Creating ESN and mounting them in the forest is the worse thing he did to them. Now they don't know how to go out killing civilians like they normally do.

Nigeria security hates going after those carrying weapons like them for an eye to eye gun battle. What they do is to go after civilians, and use it to blackmail the entire region or community. This is what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in his wisdom took away from them with the initiation of ESN and positioning them as the forest guards. Now the military desperately needs to create a chaotic environment in the East as to have the opportunity to attack innocent people.

The recent attack against a Bank in the East, after which the attackers hoisted Biafra flag after the attack is Nigeria security's all time low. The aim of the attack was to blackmail ESN and IPOB. But what they refused to ask themselves is, 'how can a thief leave a copy of his address, after stealing successfully from a man? IPOB or ESN cannot attack a bank only to hoist their flag there. Only a fool can do that. Probably, Nigeria security think everybody in this country are fools.

They are not going to get the opportunity to kill innocent civilians. This is not 1967. The people can't watch again helplessly while they are killed by the Nigerian government.

Know it that no Igbo, Ijaw or Efik can go to the market or church to open fire on their own people. If such a thing happens, we know those with the capacity to perform such evil.
