The tension between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been ongoing for several years. IPOB is a separatist group that seeks the independence of the Biafran people, a group of ethnic Igbo people who live primarily in the southeastern region of Nigeria. The group, led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been advocating for a separate Biafran state through peaceful protests and demonstrations.

However, the Federal Government has viewed IPOB's activities as a threat to the unity and stability of the country. As a result, the government has taken a hardline stance against the group, and has banned it as a terrorist organization. This has led to a number of high-profile arrests of IPOB members, including that of Kanu himself, who has been in detention since 2021.

The situation has further escalated in recent years, with IPOB supporters clashing with security forces, resulting in deaths and injuries on both sides. The Federal Government has also imposed restrictions on the movement of IPOB members and supporters, and has shut down radio stations and other media outlets that are seen as sympathetic to the group.

The tension between the Federal Government and IPOB has sparked widespread debate and criticism, with many arguing that the government's heavy-handed approach is only fueling the separatist movement, rather than resolving it. On the other hand, the government maintains that IPOB's activities are a direct threat to the country's unity and stability, and that it is necessary to take a firm stance against the group.

The recent plea by the former CBN Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, for the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, and the tension between the Federal Government and IPOB highlights the ongoing debate on the issue. It remains to be seen how the government will address the situation and what steps will be taken to resolve the tension between the two sides.

It's a threat to National Security whereas no other tribes can do business peacefully in the East now because of fear of UGM

The present Nigeria government don't know how to negotiate.

Infact an average Fulani man don't know how to negotiate on a round table; it's not really in their system as I've worked with them.

Why don't you guys just create a platform, something like IPOBLAND.COM?
Instead of coming to NAIRALAND.COM to talk about your IPOB problems?
Nigerians are not interested in your problems.

Nigeria is the 6th most terrorised country in the world for a reason
