One side of the story.

The sad part of this all is, when the chips are down, when all Kanu's hate speeches come to roost, when Biafrans start killing northerners, most almajiris can't differentiate between southerners (Igbo, Yoruba, Efik, Ibibo, Ikwere, Ijaw, middle belters, etc. .
. even northern Christians would bear the brunt up north).

Kanu called for the President to be killed in his speeches, called for other tribes to be massacred -- he shouldn't have made bail in the first place on a good day

Feigning illness (OBTing the justice system), but came out to cause more trouble.

His cup is full, the country's intelligent agencies can dump any crap on him why the military is present in the south east and it will stick.

There are about 230 countries in the world, and Kanu wouldn't have gotten away with half of these threats in at least over 220 of them.

As far as I am concerned, Kanu hallucinates, one of the major symptoms of Psychosis. Now lace that with his arrogance, ego, sociopathic and fraudulent tendencies coupled with demagoguery.

Same guy that once preached one Nigeria during GEJ, curses and disrespects GEJ and his kindred for respecting the Constitution and our democracy, same guy that thinks he can pray and Nigeria's oil will dry up, same guy that doesn't believe this is the real Buhari, but some dude from Sudan, same guy that turns around 360° few days later claiming Buhari wants to assassinate him! Duh!

Kanu belongs to a mental home for evaluation and treatment -- he is not fit to stand trial -- a good lawyer will get him off most charges if they go the mental instability route.

Stay away from harm's way my people -- it is not worth it!

Whybshould they return?.. Falana go to court abeg..you no sabi anything

let nmandi surrender himself to the Nigerian army now

SmartyPants:


I cant say for a fact that Nnamdi Kanu is a dangerous person, but he does continue to break the law in grave ways.

From the federal perspective he has threatened actions that threaten to undermine the democratic process in Nigeria, he has promoted actions to undermine the peace and stability upon his arrest, he also perpetually threatens the unity of Nigeria, and recently inaugurated an illegal security outfit with unknown intentions (which is a seditious offence under Nigeria's criminal code).

So really, when it comes to legality, Kanu is very much exposed by his utterances and behavior.

MrIrohKenedy:
Buhari is a terrorist

Pythondancef:
I have been a silent reader on Nairaland but I had to register just to tell how disappointed I am with Buhari and the military. I have traveled far and wide and I tell you that it's very hard to see military men(in uniforms) in other countries. I traveled to the US last year and I didn't see a single soldier throughout my stay. I only saw soldiers on TV but never did I see them on the streets.

It's totally unacceptable and unconstitutional of the Nigerian Army to invade civilian areas in a show of force. You don't intimidate civilian populace with weapons, especially in an area where the tension is high. It's complete terrorism on the part of the Army and I would like to advise them to stop whatever they are doing. The police should be deployed in cases like this.

AlanSugar:


It doesn't amount to a fight then why are you equipping yourselves with weapons and forming an army known as biafra bullshit secret service? Is that not treason, does the police deal with treason? Falana is a very big fool!

SmartyPants:
I am dissapointed that a legal sage like Mr. Falana could err so gravely in the interpretation of the constitution.

He said in loose paraphrasing "The Nigerian Police Force has been granted exclusive responsibility to maintain law and order in Nigeria"

This is patently false since sec 217(2)(c) of the Cons. states:

"(2) The Federation shall, subject to an Act of the National Assembly made in that behalf, equip and maintain the armed forces as may be considered adequate and effective for the purpose of -


(c) suppressing insurrection and acting in aid of civil authorities to restore order when called upon to do so by the President, but subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly;"

This implies that the army may at any time, effect an arrest, or otherwise mimic the functions of the police when called upon to do so by the president.

Tecno66:
That of UK is different Mr. Man. The countries are different countries who wanted to do some things in common. Here is like south Sudan wanting to go out of Sudan. I guarantee you that if its easy to do referendum to split a country, Nigerians will be clamouring for more countries the way they are clamouring for more states. In the end we will have more than 50 countries out of Nigeria. At the slightest quarrel, Anambra State under APGA leadership will want a different country from Enugu state because it is controlled by PDP. The way to seceed is to go the Ojukwu way. So way the consequences. Its not as easy as folks think.

I've already done that.

Section 8(1) and (3) basically provides, without any qualification whatsoever, the power to deploy the Armed Forces to maintain public safety and order is entirely at the discretion of the President.

ideologies:
u again.
[s]Do u really think the post u made is an intelligent one?
Am just wondering...

All I smell is cowardice and hypocrisy.

Did buhari ever describe a section of this country as 5% on an international stage?

Who is more mental?
Buhari, KANU or you?
Trying to twist the tale to suit what you want to believe
Hahahhaha

Finally is Falana right or wrong?
Does Buhari needs Army to arrest KANU?

U are a coward and hypocrite[/s]

It's just like a lion threatening to eat a rat and then few weeks later the lion comes closer to the rats house all in the name of "Show of force". Don't you think the rat would attack the lion just to gurrantee its safety? Don't you think the rat has reasons to attack first because of fear? This provocation by the Nigerian Army should stop, this Biafran issue should not be escalated further. The military should leave the court to decide Kanu's fate, they cannot take laws into their own hands.

I am not a Biafran supporter in anyway. All reasonable Nigerians should be against this madness. If we don't condemn the Nigerian military now, they will do this over and over again with impunity and you wouldn't know when it's going to be your turn. You might praise the army and condemn the Igbos now, but remember that we live in a world of karma.

I agree with Falana and all Nigerians APC or PDP should do the same..

look at rubbish this idiot is writing, am a yoruba but I don't like the way we are treating Igbos, if you don't know what to say shaaaaarrap or go and sleep, ode oloshi oniranu.

plaetton:


I beg to differ sir.

In Nigeria, what exactly makes a speech dangerous to the democratic process ?
because, we can go back to campaign speeches from all political parties and actors, particularly Buhari himself, which were clearly dangerous to peace, stability, unity and the democratic process,. and definitely seditious .
I mean, from where, when and from whom do we start the witch hunt ?

As per security outfit, again, let me ask you, what constitutes an illegal security outfit ?
We have all manners of vigilante groups in very corner of Nigeria. Are they also illegally constituted ?

Can you see the double standard on issues , any issues relating to Kanu, and Igbos in general ?

I notice in your submissions thus far, you have deliberately or accidentally omitted the Constitution and its umbrella guarantees to citizens of Nigeria.

How can we, for example, hail the late Nelson Mandela as a bona fide African Hero, despite him formally being labelled a criminal and terrorist, and then try everything in twisted logic to delegitimize the agitations of Kanu and IPOB who bear no arms ?

ClitRaider:
Are you not aware that in 1979, Igbo has only two states, Anambra and Imo whereas Yoruba has four states.
Today Igbo has five states and Yoruba has six states.

Are you not aware that Igbo has six senators in 1979 whereas Yoruba has twelve senators. Today they have fifteen senators whereas we have eighteen senators. Calculate the percentage increase. Let us ask, who has been marginalized?

They will come to us that those Hausas are bad they are not educated, they are Muslims, they want to Islamise Nigeria, they are this and that yet they will go behind to form an alliance with them.
Strategically they have been reducing our economic potential because they have been able to increase their slots in geometric progression and ours is in arithmetic progression. More slots in Federal appointments whereas ours have continued to reduce.

Are you aware that the land mass that makes up the five Eastern states is not up to old Oyo state yet they have been able to create five states out of it.

The first group of people that started trading in spare parts are Yoruba particularly our people from Ijebu-Ode but they have been muscled out of the business.

The idea of Geo-political Zone was mooted by Ojukwu to favour the Igbo. Now through Jonathan conference they said they are being marginalized because they are the only Geo-political zone with five states. Can you imagine that? From two states. That is what I called strategic thinking. Unfortunately, Yorubas that went to that conference agreed with them foolishly particularly afenifere in the likes of Yinka Odumakin, Sen. Adefuye. What a tragedy. Let's ask them, what did Yorubas that attended the conference brought home? The answer is nothing.

The issue of Biafra being championed by Kanu is not by accident, it is a grand design to negotiate for more. Now it is coming out, South East Development commission. Why don't we ask, to be funded by who? If it is agreed they will continue to reduce our economic potential in the Nigerian state.

But, come to think of it why don't you let Biafra be. They are adding no value to us and I can bet you that nobody will miss them. Remember that they fired the first shot that started Nigerian civil war. Killing Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello and some notable Yorubas.
Of recent, Chinue Achebe wrote a book "There was a Country". Accusing Awolowo of committing Progrom. What a tragic write up. The question to ask is who started the war? Can I continue to feed my enemy to have more strength to battle me.

Igbo would never change. Domination is in their blood and they can only be satisfied if they have what belongs to you and you have not

Continue to impersonate Yorubas. No right thinking Yoruba person is proud of what the Army is doing, because tomorrow they can do same in the SW.
I was in India recently and the only place I saw soldiers was at the airport sitting behind a shield with a signpost in front reading 'Please dont talk to the military personnel keep moving'.

Harassing unarmed citizens on the streets is not a soldiers job, attacking journalists doing their jobs and vandalising their secretariat is a shame on us as Nigerians

Section 8(1) and (3) basically provides, without any qualification whatsoever, the power to deploy the Armed Forces to maintain public safety and order is entirely at the discretion of the President,
Good, thanks for that, the question now is
1. was public safety being threatened??

2. Was there a breakdown of law and order in Umuahia that warranted the military invasion??
3. The present security situation was it beyond the control of the police and DSS?? it is worthy to note that recent survey showed the south east to be the most peaceful region, if that is the case what is the motive behind the military invasion??
These questions are begging for answer.

I really hope bihari would teach the pigs and idiotic ipob that ranting and chest beating belongs to the apes and baboons.

kernel505:



They don't have right to state police, after seeing Biafrans, daily killed by armed Fulanis, right?

You're more concerned about their Police, than those killing them.

datribune:



U seem to trivialize Kanu's crimes. It was words & hate speech dat led to d Rwandan genocide.
No country jokes around wit its national security. When an American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki was compromising d security of d USA by influencing radicals on d internet, America hunted him down & killed him without any trial whatsoever, even though he was their citizen. There's no difference between Al-awlaki's crime & Kanu's crime. There's nothing peaceful about Kanu who has been radicalizing d igbo youth. Kanu can be seen on YouTube video soliciting for arms to fight Nigeria. Let's be clear, Kanu is a threat to d Nigerian state & d threat will be neutralized.
