Who Moved Biafra (IPOB) Cheese?

With the continued tension in the South East of Nigeria where self-acclaimed spiritual leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has continued to mastermind onslaught against the Nigerian states, we find it necessary to feature Dr Nicky Okoye article in order to remind the agitators what is at stake, here is Nicky advice to Igbos.

The Igbo Nation to which I belong seems to me to be drifting badly. As we now see enemies everywhere. We now complain and complain and complain. We cry and cry and cry, we bicker and bicker and bicker. We are now agitators as if any person or group or persons or society became successful by agitation.

Once a list is produced from Government we start looking for Igbo names. Once a list of retirees is released we start shouting if there are igbo names.

Even DANGOTE a private man running a private company is taken to task by Igbos because non of his factories are in Igbo land. Nobody is asking Coscharis why his car manufacturing plant is in Lagos but Dangote must build his sugar plant in Onitsha over 1000 km from the sugar Cain farms.

For those of you who care to listen I have news for you

1. No one is going to offer you anything for FREE. YOU can cry and cry and complain all day long if you want to. The guarantee you will get is that they will give you more things to CRY about. So if you don't like the situation then use your money, your resources and your capacity to build up your own land and your own people. If you don't want to do this but prefer to keep crying then you are out of luck. PLEASE READ ''WHO MOVED MY CHEESE'' this book sums up the Igbo situation in Nigeria today.

2. As the book I recommended says  ''THE CHEESE HAS MOVED''  So move with the cheese. If you sit and cry as IPOB AND their supporters are doing you get nothing. Keep up and keep crying ''WHO MOVED MY CHEESE'' and guess what, nobody cares for a grown man that CRY like a BABY. 

NATURE, the Universe and its Kingdoms has a set of rules and it is 'survival of the fittest' the LION will always seek out gazelles or antelopes to feast on. 

It's not because they hate the gazelles but it is because they MUST survive, and the lions must feed their children. If the gazelle sits down crying all day that the lion would not stop eating him and his family, he will surely get eaten next. In fact the weak gazelles get eaten first. And anyone in business knows that human nature follows these same rules.

My advise to the few Igbos that still have a thinking faculty ''don't let these IPOB people take away your determination to succeed.''

If you start thinking like them you are doomed. They are already doomed and since 'misery loves company' they will be happy taking you down with them. Sit at home every monday will not solve anything but add more sorrow and misery to the peoples life.

3. The rise of IPOB AND it's hate mongering has made it highly improbable for the Igbo to build a nationwide coalition in Nigeria any time soon. The hate and fear spread by IPOB and it's leader NNAMDI Kanu has returned to us as Igbos ten folds. As Sonny says 'Every Action brings with it an equal and opposite reaction'.

The IPOB leader was credit with the below heinous 14 statements in the recent past:

• When we speak, the Zoo trembles, that is what happens when a cattle rearing terrorist and pedophile is your ruler.

• If you find anybody in your village asking after Radio Biafra kill the baboon Awusa Foolani or Yoruba bastard. Let them keep searching as we keep tweeting for #Biafra. (Nnamdi Kanu was speaking at a public event when he utter this nonsense).

•  Buhari is a shameless Pedophile and rapist.

• Buhari is a Terrorist he should be killed.

• Nigeria is a zoo and everybody living in that Godforsaken zoo deserves to die.

• Kumuyi should be stoned and dealt with thoroughly if he comes to Aba for his planned crusade.

• By the time we finish dealing with the animals in the zoo, there’ll be none left to tell the story.

• We are assembling weapons and we need some more money to thoroughly equip our military to enable us unleash mayhem on Nigeria.

• Niger Deltans are cowards; we know what to do to them. Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Edo and Cross Rivers State are our territory and anybody who tries to oppose us will be crushed.

• Buhari married his wife after raping her several times, the records are there.

• No Ibo man should attend any Church where the pastor is a Yoruba man, they are criminals and fools.

• Nigeria should prepare for war, we are coming to annihilate you, my secret service are already studying the zoo and strategising.

• Its either Biafra or death…

From the above hatred towards other tribe, I think the reaction towards us and our people in the future will be unequal as it will be far worst and spread over tens of years. We may indeed have sealed the 'FATE' of the younger Igbos coming after us (or should I say they sealed their own fate as they are the ones supporting IPOB), and they may indeed need a new NATION (Biafra or whatever they want to call it when the time comes) in the future to contend with the backlash Igbos will experience from the people we have poured out all these HATE messages, HATE speeches and the ethnic agenda of IPOB.

4. The ethnic agenda and ethnic politics of IPOB and some misguided Igbo elders can only back fire. Ethnicity has no place in the modern World of the 21st century. This century is being run and directed by innovation and it will be shaped by three technologies: 

A. Nano Technology
B. Artificial Intelligence
C. Digital Connectivity

There is nothing in these three that says anything about your tribe or your religion or your language  or your ethnicity. IPOB and it's supporters, those ones here on this platform and out there are playing a losing game. 

It's like a game of basket ball in which the basket is on the court and IPOB has the ball running towards the stream miles away to throw the ball into the water. They think that will win them the game. But unfortunately they are way way off.

 

I find it hard to hold conversations with the unintelligent people running IPOB and their supporters.  So I don't expect them to understand this message. This message is NOT for them. It's for those Igbos who are still wise.

There is an old saying that goes ....
''You cannot discuss Rocket Science with a bunch of monkeys, because all the monkeys want to do and talk about is how to get the next batch of bananas''.

I rest my case.
