Whether it is considered a genuine aspiration of a disenfranchised people or wished away as an agitation of some misguided youths or a rally of miscreants, the violent execution of the Sit-at-home order by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra with its murderous grip on the socio-economic life of people in South eastern Nigeria must not be taken lightly. It should not be politicised as the nemesis of the Igbo people.
Before now, this quick response has not always been the case. Undoubtedly, the lack of political will had characterised the selective attention given to crises of this nature. While in certain instances there is prompt and even proactive response to crisis, as was the case when kidnapping was contained when the army-led security forces were determined to do their job. In some other cases, security forces tend to go to sleep when these trouble makers are on the prowl.
Besides, as culturally homogenous as the South East is, it is polarised along many factional interests, especially along the lines of partisan politics. With four political parties juggling for dominance and influence in the region, it is very unlikely whether constructive engagement and public interest initiatives leading to development would be realised holistically.
