Due to his desperate and precarious situation, the drowning man will always clutch onto whatever he comes across in his bid to see if any redemption might come his way. This is the exact situation that the British and Nigerian governments have found themselves in concerning IPOB, as the tempo of IPOB's #SELF_DETERMINATION continues to gather momentum.
Since the show of brigandage, Impunity, recklessness and rascality that was called Python Dance, a Military Exercise by British and Nigerian governments, of which the sole aim was the assassination of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in his Umuahia ancestral home, and its attendant lamentable failure under the watch of #Catriona_Laing, (the Acting Sole Administrator of Nigeria after Buhari's death), the British and Nigerian governments have been making concerted efforts to ensure the demonization and desecration of IPOB, through associating the noble family of IPOB with violence.
The failure to trace, or connect, or link any violence to IPOB led #Catriona_Laing (Nigeria's Sole Administrator after Buhari's death) Abubakar Malami (then Attorney-General), and Abba Kyari (then Chief of staff), to nocturnally obtain an interim injunction from the late Justice Kafarati, declaring IPOB and by extension, every Biafran, as terrorists. Even after this backdoor obtainment of this injunction, these parties still knew how hollow and shallow, if not lacking in substance, their action was. They kept on looking for validation of their ill-fated injunction in which they not only proscribed IPOB but classified IPOB as a terror group.
While they were doing all this, the reputation of IPOB kept soaring as the IPOB's Supreme Leader, #MaziNnamdiKanu, kept educating, sensitizing, and alerting the world about the atrocities of both UK and Nigerian governments, including exposing a lot of information they had hitherto considered to be secrets.
It was mainly this area of exposing otherwise classified information concerning the #GENOCIDAL activities of both #UK and #Nigerian governments towards #Biafrans by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that incensed them to plan the assassination of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya, where they failed in the assassination attempt, but ended up kidnapping (abducting) and RENDITIONED him to Nigeria, and have since then been persecuting and torturing (prosecuting) him.
With this act of abduction, both governments thought that they could now invent any falsehood and hang it on the neck of IPOB to validate and substantiate, as well as justify their delusional hallucination about IPOB being a violent group.
To their consternation, bewilderment, discombobulation, and frustration, IPOB has gained broader and highly valued worldwide recognition as a NON-VIOLENT #SELF_DETERMINATION GROUP.
It is because of the recognition of this status of IPOB as a NON-VIOLENT SOVEREIGNTY-SEEKING group that various governments of the world, including the hypocritical #UK Government, have statutorily granted asylum to GENUINE IPOB members, as well as all those recommended by IPOB.
The simple interpretation, which is also, by extension, its implication, is that despite all the strenuous, desperate, and possibly obnoxious efforts being made by the British and Nigerian governments to classify IPOB as a violent group, all such efforts have failed woefully, as more and more countries are into discussion with IPOB, leading to various high degrees of diplomatic breakthroughs.
It must be stated emphatically that despite all the propaganda by the British and Nigerian governments to tarnish, denigrate, desecrate, demonize, blackmail, malign, or deface IPOB, with the intent of incriminating, implicating, or associating IPOB with violence or terrorism, all have been to no effect, as more and more diplomatic entities continue signal, indicate, and confirm their interest in relating officially with IPOB, the confirmation of which is visible to all.
The DEMAND of BIAFRANS remains simple, and that demand is a #UN_supervised #REFERENDUM.
A REFERENDUM is a democratic process that involves voting. As such, a call for a REFERENDUM is not a call for war.
Let the UK urgently do what is needed by expediting the announcement of a #REFERENDUM date.
