The Igbo should redeem their identity

Sir: Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB is inherently a group born out of an ideology that the Igbo are marginalized. The basis of the association is to claim independence for Biafra. The misconception begins by defining who the Biafran is. Their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, says that he is not an Igbo but rather a Jew. Yet, Biafra is associated with the Igbo from the Southeast who fought for their separation from Nigeria during the civil war.
The foundation of the association is lumped with a misguided understanding. Hence the members manifest a destructive characteristic to society. Folks who are frustrated with their ambition in life turn against the general public as the cause of their misfortune. Their leaders build a spider web of propaganda to cover their brains in smoke, and they gullibly follow their manipulations. They hyperventilate with the illusion that their ill luck is a consequence of others making.

The poorly informed and those who like hero-worshipping of Nnamdi Kanu among the Igbo should critically question their loyalty. Are they in support of the IPOB because the group has improved their position, or is it as a result of the fear of their brutal attacks on innocent people?
The masses of the Igbo should honestly answer the above question to gain the clarity that will imbue them with courage to be freed from the bondage of the IPOB group.
Perhaps the supporters believe that they will gain separation from Nigeria through the agitation by the IPOB but at least, the group should start by initiating a referendum through the legal channels. You do not cause death and destruction on the people you propagate to salvage and hope to win their trust. There is still a constitution that mandates that non-state actors cannot wield power without deference to the authority, else there will be a consequence.
