The solution to IPOB crisis is Good Governance, not old methods – Comedian I Go Dye

Popular Nigerian Comedian, Francis Agoda, a.k.a I GO DYE, has given his opinion concerning the IPOB agitation stating that he believes good Governance is the key to tackle the issue, not old methods.

Reacting to the recent operation by the Military in the South-East and the tagging of IPOB a Terrorist Group, he pointed out that dialogue which is being agitated for, by many, will not tackle the ongoing crisis because it is a stopgap.

 “The real solution to the lingering IPOB crisis lies in giving every Nigerian that satisfaction that can only be obtained through good governance, providing justice as well as the equal distribution of our collective wealth to the citizenry. The Federal Government cannot continue to apply the same method towards solving this kind of agitations” He said.

The Comedian, who is also a United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals Ambassador, posited that some of the reasons which necessitated the persistent clamoring for Biafra include the issue of inequality and injustice as well as the lingering high level of unemployment..

“The Biafra agitation is a ticking time bomb. We must not forget how the killings of Ken Saro-Wiwa and Mohammed Yusuf led to militancy in the Niger Delta and Boko Haram in the country. The Government should consider an Alternative Dispute Resolution, take on a civil approach with reasonable compassion to all concerned”.

“We can sit in the comfort of our homes and fail to realize that so many people have lost hope even in the midst of plenty,but the truth remains that there is so much hunger and joblessness in the land. This is why several agitations exist in Nigeria. The government needs to extend the basic needs like food, shelter, healthcare and education to all Nigerians. With this simple logic and reason without adopting the ‘gun’ approach, the ‘patriotic spirit’ in those agitating for Biafra will be destroyed.”

I Go Dye became relevant in the Comedy Industry when he starred in the popular Opa Williams Stand-up Comedy  show ‘Night of Thousand Laughs’ in Year 2000.
