Biafra: 2023 Nigeria General Election Another Threshing Season For IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB is a global movement that many want to identify with. 

The group boasts of millions of members and followers globally but as the saying goes; many are called but few are chosen hence, there is always the need to separate the wheat from the chaff the election periods will help IPOB thresh members.

A lot of people joined IPOB without understanding properly what it is the group stands for, many thought, it is another political group that has come to take a cut from the national cake. 

Even among the people who know the true essence of IPOB, some never imagined the enormity of the task before the group; these people may have thought that freedom fighting is a sprint hence, their membership or fandom of IPOB is similar to a sprinter racing with marathoners.

For such people, it is only a matter of time before they fall by the wayside and become mute or even join the opposition and there can not be a better time to spot such fair-weather friends than the Nigerian election period a season of huge money movement with a lot of benefits for the stomach is about the best time to know the true stance of a black man.

Like someone taunted, "go check on social media, many display pictures have changed from IPOB or Nnamdi Kanu to obedient." This is so because 2023 is just months away.

That is black people for you in their quick fix mentality, " in a couple of months we will vote in someone who will transform Nigeria." They lack the patience required to solve a problem from root to roof.

The 2019 general elections revealed many of these seasonal freedom fighters some of whom after losing came back to shouting Biafra and are today causing confusion in the struggle, the 2023 election is no exception, no wonder the leader of IPOB often talks of a hundred hardcore men. 

In conclusion, those who have been chosen to liberate the indigenous nationalities trapped in Nigeria through IPOB must stay focused and strong, they must not allow the actions or inactions of " plastic freedom fighters" to deter them, It is their responsibility to ensure that total freedom is restored for black people.
