What A Senseless Sense?
Responding to comments by the Leader of MASSOB Mr. Iwuzurike made Where He Threatened A Retaliatory Killing of Northerners In the East for the Igbos Being killed in the North Following the Presidential Vote.
Retaliatory killing of Northerners in the east or in any region of the country is not the solution to the mayhem and pogrom against ethnic and religious minorities in the north. If evil cannot beget good how then will the killing of Nigerians in the east make right the killing of Nigerians in the north? These ignorant barbaric elements in the north have no understanding of what civil society means because some elements of the northern political class or elites purposely bred and kept these vagabonds for selfish political advantage. These vagabonds or serfs need help from the civil society. Like the victims of their barbaric act these vagabonds are victims of some northern political class.

I strongly disagree that the solutions to this destruction of life and property of Ndigbo in the north is to destroy life and properties of Nigerians in the east. This prescription is not only barbaric and uncivilized but it defiles common sense. Killing Nigerians in any part of the country as pay back to these vagabonds will only justify the murderous behavior of these cage men in the north. This prescription is no different from the actions of the hoodlums that kill Ndigbo in the north. These vagabonds never step out and will never step out of their cages hence they will never travel to any other part of Nigeria . Like the southerners in the northern the northerners in the south are true Nigerians and we should wish that more people from the north are like them. If these Hoodlums in the north were like northerners living in the east I guarantee, Nigeria would have less trouble in the north. The only brothers southerners have in the north are those that come to the south and if this is true as it’s then how can one kill one’s brother just because some beasts in the north killed another of his or her brother? You see, Uwazuruike’s prescription is at best idiotic, barbaric and ignorant.
The governors of northerner states where these barbarians are killing innocent citizens must arrest the violence in their respective states and if they cannot then they must have failed in their primary responsibility which is the protection of life and property within their states. The federal government must then exercise federal authority by deploying the military to stop pogrom against religious and ethnic minorities in the north.
