What took place in the Southeast was expected by all reasoning
people. Granted that the reason that the civil war was fought between 1967 and
1970 has remained with us and has even intensified History has demonstrated unequivocally
that no part of a nation breaks away from the mother nation through
this method.
Kanu may have a serious case but his method is childish and
intellectually barren. Reasonable minds were disturbed by his childish and
dense utterances, as well as by his acceptance of his ignorant
followers' delusional ascription of God-like status to him. It was deplorable
to read a speech he made, wherein he demeaned some soldiers who had paved way
for his entourage into Abakiliki, a speech wherein he also belittled the
governor of Ebonyi as scampering once he showed up to the state. It was clear then
that the next soldiers would not necessarily conduct themselves in decent
manners that would attract ridiculing from Kanu. That's what has happened.
Even though Nnamdi Kanu's spirit is strong in founding Biafra,
his mind is too immature and too unenlightened to
accomplish his spirit's desire. Kanu should have read up on freedom fighting;
one can correctly guess that he has never done so, because he is making the
mistakes that freedom fighters avoid -- making himself vulnerable to
the power against who he is rebelling. If he read up on history, his
main mission after obtaining bail would have been getting his co-defendants out
on bail and preparing his case, so that he gets an acquittal at
trial; he should never have carried on with the type of activities he carried
on, he should have left that until the case was over.
Thanks to Kanu's rhetoric that was not backed by caution or
intelligence gathering, so many innocent young Igbo men have been killed and
nothing was achieved through their deaths. That's not what a
revolutionary moment is made of, that's political movement
malpractice. Nnamdi Kanu is not the only faulty one on this malpractice, most
Igbos, especially in diaspora who should know better but egged him
on, are equally guilty. Those among them who are mischievously passing
around fake news over IPOB/Biafra and also distorting the responses of
world leaders/world bodies have the blood of the dead Igbo young men on their
hands.
