FG Prefers Killing Igbo Children To Referendum & Dialogue
By Ibe Azikiwe (NewZik)
Do you know that the so called unrest in the southeast can end in a minute with a genuine dialogue? No Igbo person and other sensible humans are happy with the killing of Igbos by the army or other security operatives. Igbos are happy and peaceful people but Nigerians are inciting them to take up arms. They are alienated in the system and the fulanis killing their people without arrest. No Igbo child deserves to die in Nigeria again. I have not seen any reasonable person praise the army for killing IPOB because we all know how it started.
The ESN that began as a genuine fight against killer herdsmen has been turned into terrorism through misguided military operations. I’m not in support of violent agitation but I’m questioning the option of killing someone who calls for referendum and standing against killer herdsmen. Does that person deserve to die? Now the army doesn’t consider the fact that Igbos are not in the service chiefs and are often described as “Fulani army killing Igbo children.”
Do they even weigh the level of injustice before pulling the trigger? While we are appealing to the youths to drop the option of picking arms, the army should be cautious in pulling the trigger, the same trigger that set the north on unquenchable fire. Let us be fair and just in all our actions and only that way shall we enjoy peace in Nigeria.
No unity of any country is sustained by guns and bullets.
