Ominous Coincidence: ‘Operation Python Dance II’ and “Quit Notice to Igbo’s”

by Eze Eluchie,

Is Operation Python Dance 2 deliberately timed to coincide with the expiration of the 1^st October 2017 Quit Notice given Igbo’s residing in northern Nigeria by northern youths?

Considering that no efforts have been made by security agencies to arrest the characters who threatened mass attacks and mayhem against nd’Igbo after October 1 (and who have merely ‘suspended’ this Quit Notice as opposed to withdrawing/cancelling same); and considering that the so-called “Operation Python Dance II” is scheduled to hold across the Southeastern States from the 15^th September – 14^th October 2017; and also considering the haste with which these same security agencies deployed to the Southeast region (homeland of the Igbo’s); it is germane to wonder what factors prompted the ominous timing of a most obnoxious, provocative and ill-thought Military ‘show-of-force’.

In addition to the foregoing and perhaps more instructive, the mannerisms, spiteful pronouncements, grossly lopsided hierarchy of the various military and security outfits, formations and agencies, being exhibited and made by Nigeria's current head of government, President Muhammadu Buhari, gives much room for apprehension and dire expectations.  

Are the Igbo's being pursued from afar and their homeland under siege?  Dislodged from the North and held hostage in their homeland? There is bound to be a survivalist and spontaneous reaction from any group which finds itself in such situation. 

Is the world about to witness a repeat of the pogrom and other atrocities which occurred during the Nigeria-Biafra war of 1967 - 1970??

Dark clouds hovering over the Nigerian project are getting darker by the day, forewarning of gigantean apocalyptic mayhem.

The Nigerian contraption simply needs to be urgently Restructured and Renegotiated soonest.

Buhari Unleashes His Army Against The Igbo’s of Nigeria’s South East Region.

by Eze Eluchie,

The Nigerian military’s so called “Operation Python Dance 2” taking place in the South Eastern States (Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States) is an act of war against nd’Igbo. The Military operations being embarked upon by the Nigerian army is akin to the Army of the Kingdom of Spain embarking on outlandish ‘display of force’ in the streets of Barcelona and across the Catalonia region or the British Army provocatively deploying Tanks, Armoured Personnel Carriers with AK-47 totting soldiers patrolling the streets of Edinburgh and other major Scottish cities, towns and villages.  

There is absolute no reason whatsoever to deploy armed soldiers, in massive numbers, on streets of cities and towns/villages against unarmed civilian population. The military operations is provocative and geared towards creating opportunities to cause fear, harm and kill amongst an ethnic group against whom the Nigerian ruler has shown palpable angst and dislike – particularly as the same Government has refused to address acts of ethnic cleansing being perpetuated against the peoples of Nigeria’s Middle Belt region by so-called Herdsmen. The killings, maiming and injuries to be visited on the civilian population cannot be said to be ‘unanticipated’ or ‘collateral damages’ – these harms are actually premeditated and planned.

Excuses preferred by Buhari’s Army that the deployment of troops was in response to ‘security challenges’ falls as mere hogwash when juxtaposed against the same Military’s ominous silence, inaction, lack of response and at times explicit connivance to the systematic ethnic cleansing and genocide being perpetuated against the various peoples of Nigeria’s Middle Belt region by Fulani Herdsmen men. In a Statement signed on behalf of the Army Chief of Staff (General Buratai) by the Chief of Operations and Training (General Ahmadu), both as the bulk of Nigeria’s military personnel of northern extraction, the Military Operations “is conceptualized to transit into real time operations against violent criminals and agitators when called upon”. In other words, the Military was foisting itself to take over policing duties in an area recognized in a recent United Nations survey as the most peaceful region of Nigeria.

As evidenced by preliminary activities undertaken in Afaraukwu near Umuahia, home town of the leader of a prominent group agitating for the ,under the pretext of ‘Operation Python Dance 2” during which a convoy of soldiers traversed through residential areas which led to altercation between the soldiers and civilians, the period of this totally unprofessional and uncalled for military exercise will result in multiple civilian causalities, extreme radicalization of otherwise peaceful protesters/agitators and the deification/sainthood/martyrdom of those that will be felled.    .

Nigeria’s ruler, Muhammadu Buhari, is clearly living up to expectations as a man with a pathological disdain and hatred for a people, nd’Igbo. Like persons who held similar dispositions against industrious and dynamic peoples, posterity will sooner than later, consign the rule to his rightful position.

Nigeria’s Disgraceful Justice Delivery Sector: Regarding Election Dispute Resolution, Shame On Us All!

by Eze Eluchie,

The entire Nigerian Justice sector should bow our it's head in shame.

Two years after elections have been concluded, frivolous applications by unscrupulous attorneys condoned by a fraudulent system continue to bog down decisions on election petitions – allowing criminal elements who rigged elections to continue to fleece the contraption and further pauperize the population.

Within 20 days of the Kenyan Presidential elections, the Supreme Court judgement on a petition filed to protest the said elections was delivered – annulling the August 11 2017 Presidential elections and ordering a re-run.

What else do we expect of a contraption whose so-called ‘Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria’ is in reality a mere Schedule to a Military Decree (Decree No. 24 of 1999 – the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria {Promulgation} Decree 1999), signed into effect by a renegade soldier (a successor/beneficiary of the treasonable act of violent overthrow of a democratically elected government).  

Despite opposition from those who think they are presently benefiting from the rot which the Nigerian system is and represents, each and every aspect of the Nigerian polity is in need of holistic restructuring and renegotiation, lest we continue to be a source of ridicule to our population and humanity.

Let’s Restructure and Renegotiate the contraption whilst there is yet time.
