'IPOB Nnamdi Kanu’s Arrest – Nigeria’s Biggest Mistake' - CNN iReport by VenOmswiftTM(m): 2:37pm On Oct 21, 2015
I just saw this on CNN i-report. Had to share with you guys..


<b>BACKGROUND</b>
The Eastern part of Nigeria is a made up of
predominantly Christian population whose way
of life is different from their Northern
Counterparts that are predominantly Muslims.
These two groups of people existed on their
own without the interference of the other for
thousands of years before the coming of the
white men. These diverse entities were
amalgamated in 1914 by the then Governor of
the colonized Niger Area – Lord Frederick
Luggard for the purpose of convenience in the
administrative governance of the area. The
amalgamation of the North and the South of
the Niger-Area came into force and it was
Flora Shaw that gave it the name Nigeria,
coined from the word – NIGER + AREA.
After the flag independence of Nigeria in 1960,
the crop of leaders that took over from the
colonial masters in their effort to gain control
of the Nation through undue influence gradually
planted the seed of nepotism, hatred, and
ethnic division among the worst of all,
corruption that has continued to cripple Nigeria
to date.
Over time, the notion that the Ibos were
domineering people gradually degenerated into
hatred that caused the massacre of the
Easterners in the North in an effort to curb
their presumed influence and abilities as they
were the most educated and versatile of the
people of Nigeria. The unending massacre
resulting from greed and nepotism caused the
then Governor of Eastern Nigeria – Colonel
Odumegwu Ojukwu to declare a Republic of
Biafra in 1967. The declaration brought a civil
war when the Nigeria government under
Gen.Yakubu Gowon tried to force the Biafrans
back into Nigeria, The war lasted for 3years
from 1967 to 1970 before the Biafrans
surrendered as a result of starvation
ochestrated by British-Nigeria against Biafrans
through total blockade of every rout that food
may be brought into Biafra land. Over 1.5million
children and women perished as a result of
using hunger as a weapon of warfare for the
first time in the history of the world,
introduced by Pa Awolowo, the first Nigerian
civilian minister of finance and economy under a
military head of state.


<b>MANY YEARS LATER</b>
In order to appeal to the ego of the proud
Biafrans, the war was declared no victor and
no vanquished, but the actions that followed
proved otherwise. The Biafrans to date lost all
their properties all over Nigeria, even in their
homelands and they were subjected to undue
treatment of receiving 20pound in exchange
for any amount you must have saved in the
bank before the war. It forced them to resign
to fate and their only way out became to join
one trade or the other and willing out their
children as servants. But over the years, they
succeeded and became the most popular
businessmen in Nigeria.

<b>TODAY</b>
As a result of the flight from Biafra land
occasioned by lack of work and conducive
livelihood on Biafra lands as a result of
government policies which include making it
impossible for Biafrans to run any company
that can employ up to 100 workers, impossible
to import their goods through their closest
seaports some 10kilometers to them and
instead have to import through Lagos about
800kilomiters away and paying bribes en-rout,
to the numerous Nigeria uniformed officials
back to their land (Biafra).
These numerous ill treatment caused the rise
of stiff oppositions to Nigeria from this area.
The first of its kind was from the Niger Delta
Area by Ken Saro Wiwa and his kinsmen from
Ogoni, but they were all hanged by the Nigerian
government under IBB. Then the Niger Delta
boys went into militancy to protest the oil
spillage that was destroying their lands to
date and the government of late Yaradua got
wise and gave them amnesty. Other such
groups are THE MEND, MASSOB and presently
IPOB that is controlled by Nnamdi Kanu.
While the other groups seem to have come only
to get money from the federal government,
the IPOB has proved to be on a more serious
mission to secede from Nigeria. Using Radio
Broadcast and very advanced technology to
reach the world without control from Nigeria,
IPOB has managed to cause a serious
nightmare to the Nigerian government.
Nigerian government seriously tried but failed
to block the signal of the radio station
broadcasting into Nigeria, mostly the Eastern
part of Nigeria, they resorted to the only
method associated with “Black People” force .



<b>NNADI KANU Sets a trap, Nigeria falls headlong
into it.</b>
“How could Nigerian Government be so
insensitive to fail to decode that Nnamdi Kanu
intentionally came down from United Kingdom
to be arrested and they played into the trick?
He is an educated man whom, I am sure,
calculates all his moves. Nigeria will never
remain the same again after this arrest
because this action has given more publicity to
the Biafran cause than the Biafrans and even
their leader Nnamdi Kanu would have dreamed.
Now that Amnesty International has talked
about it, New York Times and all the News
Papers in Nigeria have carried it from the
arrest to the bail. I think that is all Nnamdi
Kanu needed to go to the next level of the
struggle.
