RECENTLY, Ralph Uwazurike, the leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), called for a one day sit-at-home.

I was deeply disturbed that people, especially in Onitsha, heeded his call. But then, the masses barely think, and consequently, are susceptible to political manipulation.

No wonder, Adolf Hitler once told an aide, "never worry about what to tell the people because you can tell them anything and they will believe, and the bigger the lie, the more believable it is to them".
.
It also partially explains why the masses, irrespective of their number, strength and righteous anger, cannot get anything done, unless, they are directed strategically, that is, led. Ralph Uwazurike is an uninformed activist who is strategically misdirecting the Igbo masses.
That always happens most of the time so we just have to change that fact about ourselves. A blind leading another bling will only end up in Disaster.
