Biafra: Unveiling the true enemies of Igbo nation by Chukwuemeka Udeh

Editor's note: Chukwuemeka Udeh, an advocate of social justice, from Abagana in Anambra state writes on the growing agitation for the freedom of Biafra by the Indigenous People of Biafra and its leader Nnamdi Kanu. Udeh also insinuates that Kanu, IPOB and other group and leaders calling for the secession of the South-East and South-South regions are the enemies of the Igbo nation. Nigeria is once more stampeded with so much hysteric hype about the Nnamdi Kanu-led Biafran separatist sect - the Indigenous Peoples of Biafran (IPOB). The granting of bail to Kanu last month appeared to have buoyed the pro-Biafran agitators who have issued fresh sit-at-home order to all South-Easterners on May 30. Of course, if they had not done it, one would have been surprised at the sudden change of disposition. Barefaced bravado, naked intimidation and violent affront of law abiding citizens into coercive submission and gruesome murders are the hallmark of the Kanu-IPOB. A leopard does not change its skin. Whether Biafra died with Ojukwu, the Biafran warlord is irrelevant at the moment. What is however germane is the failure of some South-Easterners to spot and avoid the pit of destruction being consciously dug for them by a few unscrupulous elements in the region, ostensibly for exclusive personal gains.
