Dance of the Python by Arewa Militants in Biafra Land

“Never underestimate your opponent, whether real or imagined. Above all, never underestimate the anger of a quiet person. That some people are very slow to anger, does not make them weak, in fact, it is a mark of strength, and thinking otherwise is not only silly at best, but stupid at worse. To this I say " beware the anger of a peaceful man! Because such peaceful people when forced to the wall, could be very dangerous, with deadly consequences. It is wise to treat all peoples with respect in all circumstances".

― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

As Arewa Militants begin the occupation of Biafra: Nigerian Army launches ‘Operation Python Dance in S-East’; Warns IPOB, MASSOB,

The Nigerian Army aka Arewa Militants, yesterday, began a security operation code-named Exercise Python Dance, in the five South-East states as part of efforts to ensure a hitch-free Yuletide period, with a warning to groups in the area that they would be the target if they foment trouble during the period. Visible signs of the operation were already in place in Anambra State yesterday, as its step-up headquarters located at the Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, Awka, was decorated with Army camouflage.

Killing the Igbo to prove loyalty to Arewa Militants: How Yakubu Gowon killed an Igbo pilot to prove loyalty

While the pogrom against the unarmed and defenseless Igbo civilians was going on all over Nigeria starting from July, 1966, when some vengeful and misguided northern army officers kidnaped and murdered the Head of State Aguiyi Ironsi, the heinous mayhem soon turned into some sort of proof of loyalty to the Nigerian state and a recreational sport for Nigerians. Soon, Nigeria’s citizenship became authenticated by how many Igbo people you could prove to have killed.
