IPOB begs Igbo youths to shun Nigerian army recruitment exercise

By Cyprian Ebele, Onitsha

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Thursday, begged Igbo youths not to join the current Nigerian army  recruitment exercise.

The leadership of the group however said that it will be stupid for any sane Igbo youths to sacrifice his/her life to save a sinking ship called ‘Nigeria’. 

The group, in a statement signed and issued to newsmen by it’s spoke person, Emma Powerful, said: “Terrorism and insecurity are lucrative businesses in Nigeria. 

“The terrorists are seeking to create their own Islamic State in the North. These terrorists declared war on the Nigerian government and her soldiers and have successfully depleted the Nigerian Military’s manpower.

” Moreso, the low morale, tribalism, nepotism and poor salary in the Nigerian Army have forced a lot of soldiers to proceed on voluntary retirement. Some of the soldiers that applied for voluntary retirement and were allegedly refused by the Nigerian Army authorities.

“These factors have forced the Nigeria Army to advertise for recruitment almost twice or thrice in a year. It is imperative to inform the Nigerian youths, especially the igbo youths to avoid being recruited by the Nigeria Army to be sent to be sacrificed for terrorism business of the cabals. 

“Only ignorant youths will fall into this trap and be used for insecurity cash out. If you get recruited, you are mostly likely going to be deployed into the terrorized Northern Region and most likely going to be murdered by the terrorist groomed and sponsored by enemies. 

“By now every sensible Nigerian youth should understand that the insecurity and terrorism in  Nigeria is a big business enterprise for the cabal. The higher the insecurity and terrorist attacks the more money are looted via bloated arm’s purchases and security votes.

“IPOB advises Ndigbo to keep off from the Nigerian Army recruitment exercise. Remember, Igbo youths are endangered species and our enemies think that you can be sent to the slaughter house of terrorists.

“It is time that Nigerian youths ask the looting club politicians to bring their children who are overseas partying and enjoying their parents loot to return home and join the Nigerian Army in order to defend their parent’s business enterprise called Nigeria” the group stated.
