HYPOCRITES, WHO IS THE ONE INCITING WAR IN THE EAST?
- To the Leaders of SouthEastern Nigeria on the Underpinings of the Resurging Biafra Agitation

Let’s face reality: who is the one actually calling for war? At times it is hard to understand what exactly is wrong with Nigerians and Africans. Between IPOB and Fulani herder-terrorists, who is the one inciting war? Between the federal and state governments and the Biafra agitators who is actually creating the causes of crisis and conflict? Between the politicians in the East and the ESN who is truly engendering chaos in the East? Who is the real war monger between MNK and PMB? Between the oppressed masses and their compromised leaders, who is the real problem? Who should be condemned: those legitimately agitating for their freedom and well-being or those in power who fail to care for and about their citizens? Between local self-help militia like ESN, who are struggling to protect their communities and unconscionable leaders who wantonly sell out the people’s interest for political correctness and career advantage, who deserves our bashing? Who?
Hypocrites! Can you push a people to the wall and expect them to remain repressed for endless time? Can you deny people the benefits of being citizens and yet refuse them the right to seek self-determination? Can you fail to provide for the young and yet deny them the right to seek to help themselves? Can you starve the mouth and yet strike the stomach for groaning? Can you trade trust for self-gain and yet expect followership? How long can a child be hungry without crying out aloud? How long shall we continue to hit the head when it was the buttocks that polluted the air? Hypocrites! Who deserves to be counselled or even cautioned: IPOB or FG, ESN or Herdsmen, MNK or the Governors of the East? Who?
How long shall we continue to be victims in the East? How long shall our leaders continue to allow the East to be victimized and marginalized? How long shall Easterners continue to be crushed, within and without, by outsiders and now by their own leaders? How much longer? Unlike in the North, the people and their leaders are not on the same page in the East. How much longer can the people endure? The people or their leaders: who is truly responsible for the current crisis and the unending woes in the East? Who among these is the one calling for war? Who is the real problem in the East?
Hypocrites! Who is the one actually inciting war in the East? The people or their leaders? IPOB or the Governors? ESN or Herdsmen? Who? Who? If we care to know, then we have to find out who the people are now following: PMB or IPOB. Who do they call their leader: the governors or MNK. Find out who the people are listening to: the government or the agitators. Find out who the people now trust for security: ESN or the Nigeria army. Where are the people looking to for a better future: to Nigeria or to Biafra. In the face of the onslaught of herder-invaders across the East, find out who is fighting on the side of the people or against the people and you will know who is inciting war in the East.
