Nnamdi Kanu walks slowly across the courtyard of his family home in Umuahia, southeast Nigeria, as a crowd of supporters in the red, black and green of the Biafran flag hail him as their saviour.Eighteen months in custody does not appear to have affected his fight against Nigeria.“I am more determined than ever,” Kanu, who heads the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement, tells AFP calmly.Kanu, who was released on bail at the endof April, still faces trial on treason charges.But there is no question of his remaining silent as a key date approaches on Tuesday: the 50th anniversary of the declaration of an independent Republic ofBiafra.The secession of the Igbo people in the southeast sparked a bloody civil war that lasted nearly three years until 1970. More than one million people died of the effectsof war, famine and disease.Kanu says his aim is “civil disobedience until we get a referendum (on self-determination)”, calling it “the only way forward”.

My concern: Will the Nigeria government use force as usual or handle this issue in a civilized manner?

Afonjas trying every means they can to make us stop on our quest to freedom but too afraid to stand for anything in life.

Sarcastic much?

ubongoton:

kanu and some of the idiots

I don't agree with you.

If "one Nigeria" can marginalize a section of a country, don't they have the right to say "I don't want to be part of the union anymore, give us referendum"?

ubongoton:

I mean when you accliam biafrans wants to export drugs to india, dont use nigeria passport

It is not difficult to spot an afonja, frustration oozes from their comments and they are always quick to abandon the topic of the thread, so stop fooling yourself with the akwa ibom nonsense

mikeycharles:

We all know the truth, let's keep on deceiving ourselves

ok

You are a kid obviously. Pls go to the Jokes section.

MAZI KANU,

YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, CIVIL DISORDER OR CIVIL DISTURBANCE WILL DO NO IGBO NO GOOD.

PLS RETHINK. OR YOU ARE RETURNED TO CUSTODY

IGBOS BE CAREFUL

Why are you wailing more than the bereaved unity beggar? KANU himself said he was ready to die for this cause, so what's your own?

ALMUSTAQIM:
MAZI KANU,

Careful of what?

onyenze123:


Careful of what?

I wonder o

I wonder who now puts this commonsense wisdom into Nnamdi's Mind?

Nairaland has to do something about these hateful, uncouth kids with no sense of history.

since you don't understand let me explain it to you there will be no war only civil disobedience i.e protest etc so don't allow illiteracy make you think there will be war. The era of war has gone with Ojukwu

For Nnamdi Kanu to have spent some argonising, painful and humiliating months in kuje prison and still stand his ground despite the bail condition i am beginning to believe his genuinety and resoluteness.
