Presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie has defended the Federal
government's decision to launch 'Operation Python dance II' in the south
eastern part of Nigeria.
Onochie, in a facebook post, pointed
out that the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra(IPOB), Nnamdi
Kanu as running an 'illegal government' and seems to have ties with 'a
country where arms and ammunition seized by the Nigerian Custom
originated from'. She wrote;
"I now understand why Ohaneze Ndigbo
has been unable to stand on solid ground but rather has been on sandy
soil regarding Nnamdi Kanu. What is driving their stand? I believe they
are being tossed
about by every wind of doctrine because of fear of
reprisals from little Nnamdi Kanu's boys.
In 2015, at the
beginning of the Buhari administration, and following the example of
Anioma people of Nigeria, other ethnic groups in the South South, and
socio-cultural organisations in the South East, including Ohaneze,
distanced themselves from the actions of notorious Nnamdi Kanu and his
IPOB. Not many people doubted that IPOB was a merchant of terror that
tried to use fear, abuses, outright lies, manipulation of the truth and
insults to colonise Ndigbo in something that is akin to modern day
slavery.
It is common knowledge but hush hush that South
Easterners were being forced to fly the Biafran flag and to wear Biafra
memorabilia. There have been threats to lives and properties across the
South East, and threats of rape to women who shun their hate campaign.
For
starters, Ohaneze Ndigbo is an association that was registered in
Nigeria to represent the interests of Ndigbo of Nigeria. That is why it
is called Ohaneze Ndigbo and not Ohaneze Ndi-IPOB or Ohaneze Ndi Biafra!
How
has the Ohaneze helped terrified Ndigbo who are living in fear for
their lives and properties in the South East of Nigeria? They haven't
because they themselves have been terrified.
I have confirmed,
via personal interviews of South Easterners who live in Onitsha and Aba,
that there was a great sigh of relief when the Nigerian Army was seen
in the region. Ndigbo who live in their ancestral homes in the South
East, are for the first time in two years, breathing a sigh of relief
and freedom.
You see, little Nnamdi Kanu, a college dropout, is
immature and childish. The South East governors know and appreciate this
fact. This was why he was asked to come with his father to attend a
meeting with them.
If Nnamdi Kanu needs his father to attend a
meeting of leaders, how mature are those who see him not just as their
leader, but as their God?
These mostly uneducated, half baked and
uncouth youngsters, went about the South East, intimidating ordinary
Ndigbo, threatening them with death and violence if they refused to kiss
Nnamdi Kanu's toes.
If the IPOB leader and his cohorts learned a
good lesson from The Python dance {1} by turning away from their ways,
there would be no need for a second Python dance. When your brother is
in trouble, the least you could do is to support him. The Python dance
is not just for the freedom of Ohaneze, so they can have a sound
footing, and advocate fearlessly for ordinary Ndigbo, but also, for
ordinary Ndigbo so they can associate freely. No one should have to be
in danger or live in fear for not supporting a criminal agenda in a free
country.
As an Igbo woman put it, "If Ndigbo need to renegotiate
their membership of Nigeria, it will be a discussion and that
discussion will not be led by disenchanted politicians and definitely
not by Nnamdi Kanu."
The Nigerian Army has come to the South East
to exercise it's duty towards Ndigbo who have been held captive by the
fear, not of some foreign aggressors, but of some youngsters who act
under the manipulations and brain-washing by one who is delusional.
Anyone who suffers from delusions of grandeur or megalomania should not
be left running wild among law-abiding people.
I do not
understand those who are calling on the Nigerian Army to stop the Python
dance. Nnamdi Kanu is running an illegal government in our nation,
complete with his own Army, Police, Secret service, Anthem, coat of
arms, passport and currency. If that is not an affront on our collective
existence, I don't know What is.
Nnamdi Kanu appears to have a tie with a country where arms and ammunition seized by the Nigerian Custom originated from.
Nigerians
and in particular, Ndigbo in this case, deserve to carry out their
lawful engagements, without fear of molestation.We must, therefore,
thank the Nigerian Army for coming to the aid of Nigerians in the South
East and safeguarding them from the antics of a very sick young man.God
bless Nigeria."
