OpEd: Biafra At 53: IPOB Has Destroyed The Biafran Spirit, Igbos Must Restore It By Churchill Okonkwo | Sahara Reporters Igbos should, therefore, not allow our political, emotional, and cultural consciousness to be plagued by a homegrown... READ MORE:

In Igbo cosmology, there are many gods e.g. Amadioha , Ani , Idemili , Upkaka Ndam , Ogwugwu , etc. It is very common, in Igboland, for someone to be in good stead with one god and not the other. As such, Ogwugwu could kill a person despite an excellent relationship with Udo.

This is, therefore, one of those pieces that I set out writing with the future Igbo generations on my mind. It is for the sake of the future of Igbos in Nigeria, for our children and grandchildren, that I, once in a while, steps in to present a different narrative, an insider’s view of the inside, on the state of Igbo land.

IPOB tends to make frequent reference to other groups in Nigeria – usually in terms of outsiders and enemies. Most often, this reference is accompanied by a fear factor, a xenophobic perspective that is meant to heighten ethnic tension in Nigeria. This contributes to the creation of the ‘us versus them’ social divisions in Nigeria. They use a variety of tools and tactics to increase these schisms, or cleavages, in society at every given opportunity. It is a deadly disease.

A family is like a forest when you are outside it is dense, when you are inside you see that each tree has its place. I am a member of the family and I can tell my brothers and sisters without hesitation that IPOB has destroyed the Biafran Spirit. Ashes fly back into the face of him who throws them. On this occasion marking Biafra at 53, Igbos should stop throwing ashes with IPOB.

If you fail to write against IPOB you are irrelevant. Only those who seek popularity write against progressive IPOB. churchill okonkwo give thanks to IPOB for knowing you a little.

Who initiated the remembrance day? all these brown envelope gutter media and journalist should try and librate their own tribes ,for us is only a matter of time Biafra will be restored. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is more intelligent and brilliant, he is a game changer. WhereisOsibanjo

Dreams are not illegal

Kanu is a con man, insulting other tribes than can work with him to get biafra was his great mistake,izon are bad,yoruba are idiots,tiv and other tribes in the north are hausa slaves,he lost it.

Churchill has said it all. The brainwashed children of perditions and slaves to Nnamdi Kanu”s propaganda will go after him. Ndi ara

Anumanu Okonkwo has taken Sahara Reporters incurable madness to a ridiculous level. Aturu enweghi onyenche. Can Churchill Anumanu Okonkwo restore what he is not part of ?

It is a pity that jealousy is driven Churchillokonkwo crazy.but earlier you except the truth better for you. Nnamdi KANU can never be your match, even in world to come.

Saboteur

See them, see them,,, na them,,,,na them They most surely gather thank God they did not gather in time IPOB IS AHEAD OF THEM

You can remain slave But nnamdi KANU awaking the spirit of Biafra Shame on you Igbo fools fighting nnamdi KANU, have you ever thought of remembering 3.5millions of igbos that was killed by Nigeria govt but KANU has choosing to remember and honour them

😀 posts like this do not deserve any response.

I swear I thought I saw Joe Abahs name appear under the Write up. Churchill Okonkwo is just an attention seeker

The Churchill or what ever he calls himself is another sale out

What a useless write up, biafra is not an Igbo affair,all these criminals are wasting their time,ipob is the key.

Be cautious of people with Ph.D attached to their usernames.

IPOB has not done everything right but to say they destroyed the spirit of Biafra is short sighted. Biafra Exit, Restructuring,IGBOs questioning what it is means to be Igbo in Nigeria is cause of IPOB,they created more awareness and preserved the spirit of Biafra more than ever

Who else has guaranteed immorality(eternal life), Long life, Peace, prosperity, Good health, Success. All together(full package), think 🤔 only Jesus Christ did this. The new covenant contain all this, the only task is too Believe him

This Churchill is a Yoruba errand boy

Give Churchill pen, let him list just one thing IPOB destroyed. And I will tell him hundreds of damages him Churchill has brought upon Biafra

Imagine this Yoruba errand boy called churchhill. Can he withstand what IPOB withstood in the name of biafra?

Who is Churchill? Dancing the tune of sabotage. Who knows him.? Any body that wants to become popular will start calling IPOB. Every one against biafra restoration, may the spirit of the million dead biafrans hunt the person

Tell Churchill to shut up. Thank you!

Okonkwo has surely gone mad. IPOB rejuvenated the Biafra spirit. Okonkwo has always been a side liner. Let him keep quiet abeg. Without the IPOB struggle, he's got no article.

Especially with theory that Buhari is clone or dead.. in as much as I want ibo freedom, I still dont like the manner we going about it.. we need to re address our origin.

Can he tell us how mnk and ipob destroyed the biafran spirit?

Sowore is still dreaming of one Nigeria that's why he will gladly post this shit.

there is nothing like biafara its dead before arrival

I can hardly put my emotions in a tweet in reaction to this rubbish. Churchillnnobi should have tweeted that thread himself. Onye ara!!!

Judas of Biafra talking

Everyone is entitled to his opinion. Igbo elites don't want Biafra. It's obvious. I attend MNK's broadcast, he has a harsh voice (of which I don't like) but he says the obvious. He teaches with sources and documents. He teaches history. Nice perspective though.

Iseeee

What nonsense are you going talking about?

I recommend u pull this post down.

That's his opinion

This efulefu should just mind his damn business.

his opinion

Biafra, Messiahs And Transactionalists By Chido Nwangwu | Sahara ReportersI believe — as do millions of realistic Nigerians that Buhari has, unwittingly via his lopsided appointments and assorted nepotisms, unleashed it will serve the interests of everyone to the escalating demands against Nigeria’s 1914 colonial borders as imposed and implemented under The Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern regions by the British soldier of raw materials and minerals named Lord Lugard. MBuhari chido247 This one is still crying over appointment. You want to reap from where you didn't sow. MBuhari chido247 Wake up from your self induced slumber. What did your Biafrauds do with the appointments they got from previous Governments, There was a time in this country your Biafra guys were in charge of the Economy, what did you guys benefit from it

Biafra: Nigeria Must Tender Apology For War Crimes Committed Against Igbo By Promise Eze | Sahara ReportersThe Nigerian Government has left many questions unanswered. It has failed to render an apology for the massacre and pogrom orchestrated against the Igbo race before and during the civil war. It has failed to explain why it was so much engrossed in a genocide against a people who had contributed so much to the growth and development of Nigeria. Serious but laughable. 😀😀😀. This is funny!!!
