Omo, going through Simon Ekpa’s page will depress you. Not that Simon himself is an empty vessel who perpetrates one of the lowest quality frauds on earth, but the fact that there are Igbo people who actually believe him and fall for it. I cannot help but feel very ashamed that there are still people with that sorry level of IQ from my region in 2024.
2024???? There’s no excuse.
I was a teenager during MASSOB/Uwazurike time. The whole Biafra buzz had the same effect on us, but there was no internet, access to information was limited. We relied on beer parlour talks, mostly from the older generation who fought the war and passionate about Biafra. So everyone information we were exposed to had Biafra bias. We looked at Uwazurike the same way folks look at Kanu and Ekpa today. But as soon as the internet opened up many ways to be informed, all of that changed. It was very easy to spot that these guys are charlatans. But hey, 2024, people still think and move like the MASSOB era.
This is so shameful.
I can only blame us. We got carried away with commerce — because they said something something best in business tribe — that we forgot education. Real education. Because, that is the problem. Too much obsession with commerce (money) that even the educate ones don’t think beyond how much coming in. They would travel across the world and still find time to be dumb enough to donate money to Simon Ekpa. You are obsessed with dominating markets, import and export, forgetting that you’re one govt policy away from returning to square one.
I cannot believe we got dumber over the last 2 decades. I just cannot believe it.
There’s absolutely no reason anyone who believes they would get Biafra in 2024, let alone get it through Simon Ekpa, is qualified to contribute anything intellectual to the society. I consider you dumb, and I make no apologies for that. Because you know why, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET BIAFRA. When Kanu and Ekpa are done extortion and destroying your region, another set of charlatans will emerge and continue as you have refused to have sense.
Do you sincerely think that if left for an average Yoruba, Hausa or any non Igbo person to decide whether you should go and form your country, they would say no? They would not. They would gladly let you go. I mean all the tribe hate each other and will gladly separate. Doesn’t that tell you that Biafra will never come no matter how much you destroy your region —because that’s exactly what the people selling you the Biafran dream want? And it’s far beyond Kanu, Ekpa or anyone. It is the foreign interests sponsoring them.
The same foreign interests sponsoring them are still the same people keeping you together in Nigeria. Not because you will be better off in Biafran or in Nigerians, but because you are more useful to them in Nigeria. There’s a line to instigate crisis, & that’s the tribal line. These foreign interests understand that you will be more radicalized by giving you a “false” sense of tribal identity that will make you view Nigeria as us vs them. They would sponsor people like Kanu and Ekpa to lead you into seeking secession, secession that they would never approve. Oh yes, it is in their hands to approve it. If you didn’t know, now you know. Their only interest is the conflict it will generate, & why that conflict is on, and you are busy destroying your region, they can feast on the abondant natural gas deposits in your region.
A word is enough for the wise. You people better receive sense now.
