Enforce the principle of chain of command ASAP and without fear or favor

The Leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is indirectly setting wrong precedence that will attack the Biafran Govt. in the future, by tolerating and accommodating gross insubordination and brazen violations of its chain-of-command principle. This I have keenly and broadly observed over the years of the IPOB-led Biafra restoration project, hence the need for this concise article.

It is a common sense that whatsoever you allow or practice over time becomes a standard and to correct a foundational error is easier and better done when the entire structure have not been erected.

How the IPOB’s leadership handles the affairs and enforcement of its organization’s principles at this stage is a clear reflection of the future Govt. of Biafra and inadvertently sets precedence for it.

Every organization or movement has its modus operandi, principles and doctrines, which convey, illustrate and illuminate its vision and empower the accomplishment of its mission as a body or an organization.

Those serve as raw materials for the fabrication of the perfect and appropriate casting of the foundation of the organization, as well as erecting the entire structure. Which ab-initio, determine the overall result.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as a global organization, has CHAIN OF COMMAND as its overarching principle, which is akin to the Military’s OBEY THE LAST COMMAND or RULE OF ENGAGEMENT, and also all encompassing administratively.

This principle, in all intents and purposes, is perfect for IPOB as its a freedom fighting organization, operating with the strict observation of the United Nation’s Charter on self-determination Chapter 1, Article 1 part 2, and the rights of Indigenous Peoples, 2007.

The principle of chain-of-command was enacted or adopted by the apex hierarchy of IPOB to ensure the smooth transportation and transmission of orders, instructions, ideas etc. to their various intended destinations globally (i.e the diaspora and Biafra-land fronts), in the expectation of their strict compliance and enforcement to the later, for the restoration of Biafra.

The chain of this very principle has been shattered by many and major principal officers of IPOB in diaspora and Biafraland, both past and present, who concluded that the chain was heavy on their necks and had become intolerably unbearable for them.

Time without number, this principle of chain-of-command has been grossly and brazenly violated by many lieutenants and members of this global organization, IPOB, both in diaspora and Biafra-Land, without any direct consequences from the organization (IPOB), against the violators.

At the wake of each of these occurrences, we’d hear lengthy and protracted days or months of name callings, laying on of curses on the violators and saboteurs on Radio Biafra broadcasts and other IPOB platforms, suspension or their expulsion from IPOB. After which, nothing tangible is done consequentially to serve as a deterrent to others.

Sabotage has been used against the Biafra-quest for independence right from the Nigerian and Biafra Civil war in 1967-1970, MASSOB era, and now, IPOB. It’s apparent that without direct and severe consequences accorded, more especially, internal saboteurs that infiltrate IPOB units, zones, activities etc. IPOB will run in a virtuous circle like a blind horse, just like it happened in the past.

A state, Country or an organization without clear or spontaneous enforcement of consequences for the violation of its laws or principles is as better as a state, country or organization without any. Same with a state, Country or an organization that selectively enforces the consequences for the violation of its laws or principles. This is the misery of the Nigerian State which IPOB seeks to liberate and emancipate Biafrans from.

Former British Prime Minister, David Cameron stated unequivocally in May 2016 that “Nigeria is fantastically corrupt“and the President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari agreed to that. But before this time, in February 2016, President Muhammadu Buhari had amplified his voice to the highest spectrum in the UK – to a global audience and said that “Nigerians are criminals“.

Nigeria is a country where criminality and corruption is a very lucrative business because there is no consequences for them. At best, there is ethnic, religious, selective or political undertone in according consequences to or enforcing the law against its perceived or actual violators.

Encourage and support the genuine and active IPOB principal officers and members now that they are still alive

In Nigeria, the citizens’ hard-works and civility are never encouraged, promoted or supported by their Govt., unless they carry and brandish guns and engage in consistent or regional hostilities.

In Nigeria, the measure of your attainment, recognition or reward is based on how much you can sabotage a genuine course targeted on the interest of the people, how much blood you have spilt, how much money you have laundered or looted, how much you can break the law and pay plethora of lawyers to defend you in court etc.

Today IPOB is seen in that light whether you believe it or not – directly or indirectly, where corrupt, lawless and insubordinate principal officers and members, attention-seekers and busybodies, are given accolades and privileges they don’t deserve, whereas the IPOB hard-cores, genuine and observers of the law/principle are hardly or never encouraged, supported, or given what they truly deserve in its true sense.

Just like Nigeria, most times, IPOB eulogize, talk about and gather for their genuine officers or members only when they die, or in preparation for their burial, court cases or hospital issues. But while they were alive and well, working hard for the Biafra restoration project, IPOB falls short of this gesture.

IPOB Mile 3 Zone, Port Harcourt (Igweocha), was the first IPOB unit (before it became a zone), to set up a welfare committee in order to attend to, provide for and take care of the very first set of IPOB members that were arrested and remanded in the Port Harcourt prison, when it was rumored that anyone who visits the prison in search of any IPOB member would be thrown into the prison as well. This zone has been at the forefront of initiating and implementing successful ideas for the Biafra restoration project in Igweocha (Port Harcourt) precisely, under the command and leadership of Mazi David Njoku, the Igweocha IPOB Coordinator.

But, must IPOB wait until harm befalls its principle officers or members before they are encouraged or appreciated?

Those who lost their job on the account of IPOB are facing untold hardship of different proportions without any hope of relief, other than the belief that Biafra will eventually be restored. Many of those who lost their loved ones, are hospitalized, amputated etc. while in and as a result of their duties in active service are not properly taken care of as a result of sabotage and fund embezzlement.

Men and women have died for the course of Biafra restoration which earned them the toga of heroes or heroines.

But all heroes must not die before they receive their medal of honor or acknowledgement.

The living heroes of Biafra restoration are debtors to the dead ones. But they may not pay this debt when they are neglected, demoralized and their gallant efforts for Biafra restoration under incessant sabotage, with little or no stiff actions from the apex IPOB leadership against the saboteurs.

Saboteurs, rebellious and insubordinate officers and members have been dominating the airwaves and platforms of IPOB with their phone-calls, comments and articles, creating parallel units and zones by sowing seeds of discord among existing ones, creating fake Media platforms in the name of Biafra or IPOB etc. all for personal aggrandizement and in fulfillment of their contract terms with those who are against Biafra restoration, inadvertently challenging the authorities of IPOB leadership that nothing can happen to them! Whereas the genuine principal officers are unattended to, emasculated and chased into their holes by saboteurs, with all manner of gambit and tactics, after plundering their good works.

The saboteurs and insubordinate officers ride on the sweat of the law abiding principal officers to their high heavens thereby perpetuating the concept of “monkey dey work baboon dey chop” in the Biafra restoration project.

Their deception tactics are like the craft of Satan and their evil means are unparalleled.

They have been a cog in the wheel of progress of the Biafra restoration project and can never adhere to the principle of chain-of-command and oath, because they have become reprobates and deviants, headed for inescapable destruction.

How can you allow cat and dog, giraffe and lion to work together and expect lasting progress and sustained success? You can not keep yam under the custody of a goat and expect the goat to exert self-control.

When saboteurs and insubordinate followers are overlooked, supported and encouraged – directly or indirectly – through placid or seeming complacent dispositions of the IPOB Leadership in general, it weakens the arms and resolve of those who are genuine, honest and determined to keep working according to the principles of IPOB’s CHAIN OF COMMAND.

It also goes a long way to cast doubt in the minds of both the law abiding principal officers and followers who bear the bitter brunt of sabotage and raises salient questions on their lips, about the stance or position of the Apex Leadership, whether or not, the principle of CHAIN OF COMMAND truly exists, or is just a hypothetical theory and bloated phrase, which induces them with seemingly nonexistent confidence in the justice and fairness system of the IPOB organization.

Remove the foxes that infect and destroy the vine of Biafra restoration

I keep hearing loudly and coherently from many IPOB principal officers and members shouting like Solomon:

“take away from us all these foxes that destroy our vines because our vineyard has blossomed” Song of Solomon 2:15 (BBE).

You will agree with me that foxes are very crafty and subtle creatures, malignant and mischievous, hungry and voracious, full of deceit and dissimulation. They have a very ill smell and are abominably dirty.

So are internal saboteurs; they walk meticulously in craftiness, use good words and beautiful speeches to cover their clandestine and perfidious intentions and activities, thereby deceive the hearts of the gullible Biafrans who thought they are one and together.

Their philosophies are pernicious/deadly, their controversial opinions are damnable and they bring destruction on themselves and others.

They exhibits unsearchable hunger for money; very greedy of material acquisitions and can never have enough of them in as much as opportunities keep popping up for them.

They devour units and zones of IPOB and make merchandise of them to enrich themselves at every given opportunity and at all cost – without respect or regard for the oath they took.

They put on sheep’s clothing; mimic the voice of hardcore Biafrans, use their phrases and expressions and the expressions of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, Uche Mefore his Deputy etc., that they may not be easily discovered; and are abominable in their principles and practices.

The Leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its lieutenants must detect them, repudiate their evil activities sharply and cast them out of the IPOB’s units, zones, and other IPOB’s hierarchies, where they spread their infectious and disastrous viruses against the Biafran restoration project ASAP.

There are saboteurs who are categorized as the little foxes who are being groomed to become bigger foxes. In some scenario they are very calm and appears harmless. They are assigned to keep eyes on activities and ears on vital information. These little foxes are to be nipped in the bud before they develop their muscles otherwise, their erroneous philosophies and strategy to Biafra restoration, which may seem small/harmless at first, will soon grow larger and spread themselves, and become fatal to the Biafra restoration project, just as foxes do, by biting the branches persistently, biting the bark, making the roots bare, devouring the ripe grapes and infecting all with their injurious teeth and vicious breath.

Biafra restoration has blossomed that’s why the foxes are all over the place.

It’s the absolute duty of the vine-dresser (apex IPOB leadership), to set in motion and operate the mechanisms and tools that must remove the foxes from the fruits of the vine of Biafra restoration project, because they know what it cost them to plant, cultivate and dress the vine till its maturity, fruitfulness, ripeness and blossoming stage.

If the IPOB’s Leadership don’t remove the foxes from this blossomed vineyard ASAP, it will remain a wrong and catastrophic precedence that will destroy the fruits of this restoration both now and in the nearest future Govt. of Biafra, and the apex leadership of IPOB shall be held responsible.
