“You cannot beat a baby and ask him not to cry.”

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra in Australia, Chief Cyprian Okoye, told reporters in Enugu on Tuesday that, current agitation over the republic of Biafra would continue as much as the federal government had insisted on treating Ndigbo as non-members of the country.

Okoye explained that the government had failed to break the IPOB and other Biafra agitators because “we derive strength in the fact that we are already down and a man that is down does not need to fear nor fall. You cannot beat a baby and ask him not to cry. If they have beaten us and deny that we are not members of the same country, it is our duty to cry and I know those who have ears will not let the tears drop from our eyes to be in vain in the end”.

“Our people no longer farm and go to their farms for harvest easily. They either farm and have their crops destroyed or end up losing their lives in their farms by marauding herdsmen carrying heavy arms. Yet, it is the same government that retrieved arms from our people but leaving those of herdsmen who also wield such guns openly”, he stated.

“Worst still is that these young men move through our checkpoints manned by security forces whether in the day or at night even with the restrictions order against the interstate movement. They travel in long buses and trucks and have continued to occupy some communities and farmlands in the zone. Even with the alarm being raised that they constitute security risks, the federal government has continued to maintain sealed lips”, he noted.

Thumbs up to the editor...nice piece!

I love that subheading “You can’t beat a baby and ask him not to cry” Some Nigerian mainstream media are gradually waking up, I hope this will last and remain real.

Of course you can't beat a baby and ask him not to cry We are going home

anyone who tries to tells a child not to cry after beating doesn't worth to live all, why then did u beat? ....

That is only if you're using a small canes , but if you're using a big canes you won't even asked him to stop he /she will be the one to stop.
