According to radical writer, Tariq Ali, a truthful revolutionary is 1 who disregards personal security inwards the pursuit of one’s beliefs. He cited Che Guavara who left the comforts of Argentine Republic to struggle inwards the jungles of Republic of Bolivia together with died piece inwards combat.

He never failed to also advert Malcolm X every bit 1 of his heroes who was to encounter his waterloo inwards the heady, vehement days of 1965. Unfortunately, at that spot was a disconnection betwixt what he espoused together with what he practiced.

During the cruel dictatorship of General Ayub Khan inwards his native Islamic Republic of Pakistan where thousands of citizens died inwards bloody demonstrations, the students urged him to provide domicile to Pb the struggle from inside together with role his vast global contacts to yank off the armed services from power. Khan had other ideas together with preferred to sit down inwards London, editing a magazine because he was scared that his passport powerfulness hold upwards confiscated.

He refused to piece of job to Paris inwards 1968 to attend an of import conference because he was scared he powerfulness non hold upwards allowed dorsum into Britain since he had 5 months left to teach a British citizen. He was tragically a security showtime radical apologies to Adewale Maja-Pearce, former editor of the Index on Censorship.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu in 1 lawsuit boasted that he would bargain with whatsoever invading forcefulness from Abuja together with that it would hold upwards Biafra or death. When decease came inwards the confront of Operation Python Dance, what did he do? He allegedly vanished into sparse air every bit his whereabouts accept been unknown since his father’s palace was invaded past times the armed services marauders.

His disappearing human activity must accept come upwards every bit a gargantuan shocker to his horde of disciples who called him a Lion together with swore that he would stand upwards every bit the Rock of Gibraltar inwards protecting their interests.

What his zealous supporters failed to admit was that their idol failed to stand upwards up for some of his supporters who were detained. He before promised non to hold upwards them behind inwards jail simply when his bail came through, he made a volte-face. Wasn’t that a sign of to a greater extent than sinister things to come?

He who fights together with runs away lives to struggle some other 24-hour interval seemed to hold upwards his mantra every bit he was non hit to toe the path that Che Guevara, Martin Luther King Jnr, Patrice Lumumba etc trod.

His followers were at the mercy of the regular army goons who whipped them mercilessly to submit to the constituted authority. They needed succour from the homo who touted himself every bit the side past times side big matter inwards revolutionary warfare simply alas all they got was an elitist conspiratorial silence.

IPOB every bit percentage of the fallout has been proscribed every bit a terrorist organization. The alleged presence of a Biafran word service lent together with Kanu’s telephone call upwards for the purchase of weapons made the Federal Government motility swiftly to foreclose whatsoever breakdown of constabulary together with order. To categorise them amongst boko haram was inwards bad taste. It would been interesting to take away heed Kanu’s vocalism denounce the actions of the Buhari led direction on his organization.

Tragically, he has been turned into a fugitive together with enemy of the state.

He straightaway has the accuse of terrorism inwards add-on to the before treason accuse together with this wouldn’t hold upwards tardily to bargain with every bit existence permit off the claw may hold upwards goose egg curt of wishful thinking.

One wonders why at that spot has been deafening quiet past times his supposed human foot soldiers together with former sympathizers! No official disputation from his bail sureties or whatsoever from his horde of disciples. Is it that they failed to successfully purchase into his ‘vision?’ Has the tide of the times made it dangerous to publicly associate or position with him?

Is it a failure on his percentage every bit a leader that he had no loyal crop of loyalists? Some traditional rulers went every bit far every bit quest the terra firma authorities to withdraw the staff of percentage from his father. The greatest blow came from the southeast governors who denounced him together with his organization. Let’s non forget that Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe was amid those that stood surety which meant an indirect governmental backing from his homeland.  Was his fame a nine 24-hour interval wonder accentuated past times his prolonged detention together with every bit such had no roots together with substance?

Successful freedom fighters accept their machineries good oiled either during their fourth dimension of flying or fifty-fifty death. The likes of Oliver Thambo, Walter Sisulu, Desmond Tutu, Thabo Mbeki etc spread forth the anti-apartheid message piece Mandela together with the 26 others were behind bars. The 1917 Bolshevik revolution was spearheaded past times Lenin from exile inwards Switzerland. Why hasn’t the together with hence called international back upwards of IPOB seen a propagandist mechanism to continue its ideals alive?

We call back with gusto the means together with fashion Ralph Uwazurike swept the south-east with his Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB). After his showtime spell inwards detention, it fizzled out similar the musical candle inwards the wind.

Some of Kanu’s traducers accuse him of succumbing to hubris past times allowing a guard of laurels to hold upwards mounted past times his human foot soldiers which he inspected together with infamous pic that circulated virally which saw him pace his feet on an overzealous disciple.

For a homo who enjoyed back upwards from the likes of Pat Utomi together with Chukwuma Soludo, this is non the best means to goal up.

Some mutual depression temperature comfort is coming from the USA who disagreed with the Nigerian authorities that IPOB is a terrorist organization. The United Kingdom of Great Britain together with Northern Ireland of Britain together with Northern Republic of Ireland together with French Republic accept come upwards to deny their countries existence used every bit a funding conduit for the marked organization. Nothing has come upwards inwards the means of back upwards for Kanu from whatsoever of the aforementioned countries together with it is crystal clear that he has been left to stew inwards his ain juice.

Will Kanu piece of job downwards the means of Uwazurike? Would he similar the phonix re-emerge every bit some other Dim Odumegwu-Ojukwu who was nevertheless held inwards high esteem despite his 1970 cowardice?

Time never fails!
