I have no idea why there was a need for a military invasion. You have to ask Buhari that, and i am not here to defend Buhari. Obviously you are defending him by countering Falana, now you don't know even with you being cognisant with the Armed Forces Act, and why are you countering him when you don't know?? What kind of a person are you countering what you don't know?? Please let's us be truthful in this nation as nothing separates us like lies. |

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.
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.

in waging the war on terror in the north east region a state of emergency was declared by President Jonathan to justify the deployment of members of the armed forces as part of the extraordinary measures required by him to restore law and order pursuant to section 305 of the Constitution. Thereafter, the President sought and obtained the approval of the National Assembly for the said deployment of the armed forces.....

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! Kanu preys on the civility of the gentlemen. Why would anyone want to treat a beast as a civilised human being? A terrorist has no benefits of the laws he does not respect. 1 Like |

u can read but cant comprehend? am sorry for u..
the police force is corrupt but the army isnt corrupt? tell me another super story...
the constitution says that the army is only for external use only not internal.. even if it wants to get involved in internal disputes, its only wen the police av been deployed but cant handle it..
and even in that internal case, the national assembly must pass the law...thats wat falana is sayin and ur here talking about peace keeping..tell me, is the peace keeping not outside the country?
pls learn how to understand b4 commentin..
thanks You telling me police can handle the present situation is really kind of awkward, that's as far as you can see though. In other words, you mean Nigerian soldiers can only do peace keeping outside their country while their own country crumbles from inside out, and they need to pass law before they can interfere with internal disputes, seriously  And I don't know how quick its gonna take to pass the law though, unless you wanna toy with people lives (the hausas) because of a stupid law, put yourself as a family man in their shoes then come back to tell me the military shouldn't be involved. I get it, you are on drugs

My first post on this thread pained the flatti much.
Here is the part two of it...
Flattino basterrds in their confusion, infusion and frustration arising from pride and over estimation of themselves leading them to a series of saboteur maniac syndromes.
Igbos broadly divided other Nigerians into three broad categories. Those they hate, those they deride and those they fear. Those they hate are the yorubas whom they call traitors, tribalists and cowards. Yet no race in Nigeria have been more tribal than the lbos.
There are historical facts to prove this. If something is ten and igbos are not allowed to take 15, so that the rest of us can share minus 5, lgbos will cry marginalisation and label the rest us tribalists. However there is no race in this country that have been more accommodating of the lgbos than the Yorubas, there is no single igbo leader that did not grow up in the South West or is a beneficiary of Yoruba largesse.
Zik went to CMS GRAMMAR SCHOOL, Adolphus wabara went to AHMADIYA COLLEGE AGEGE, Ken Nnamani went to LOYOLA COLLEGE IBADAN, Ojukwu and Ekwueme went to KINGS COLLEGE, Okpara went to YABA TECH while Phillip Emegwali went to AQUINAS COLLEGE, AKURE. Even my brother Anadu went to IMADE COLLEGE OWO etc All major Igbo politicians cut their political teeth in the West. Their major religious leaders cannot thrive outside the West. Pastor Muoka, Pastor Ezekiel of Four Square and Okonkwo of TREM are examples.
I remember that after the civil WAR, Igbos who came back to ILE IFE were allowed TUITION FREE while the YORUBAS in NSUKKA were rusticated. Example is Pastor Adeboye. Yet lgbos reserve their greatest hatred for the Yorubas for reasons being that the yorubas refused to be dominated by the lbos to confront the North.
As to the label of cowardice, had there been any war between the yorubas and the lbos in which the lbos defeated the Yorubas? In the whole ancestral history of Ndigbo, which war has the forefathers or great forefathers fought? Any empire in their history? Yet the yorubas have worsted the lgbos four times in the political history of Nigeria.
As to the label of treachery, had there been any agreement the yorubas signed with the lbos and they reneged? The answer is no. Yet the yorubas have records of Igbo treachery on the two occasions they formed alliance with them. In 1964 to fight the federal election, the yorubas formed an Alliance called UPGA with the Ibos to be led by Okpara because major Yoruba leaders were in jail. There was an agreement that the election must be boycotted. The Igbos sabotaged it, went and contested election while the West kept to the agreement.
In 1979 the West went into alliance with the lbos and formed PPA - PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE ALLIANCE. Again Igbo sabotaged it so that they can produce Speaker house of Representatives. Who then is traitor? The second category are the Eastern minorities made up of present Rivers, Akwa lbom, Cross Rivers and Bayelsa. The igbos see them as subhuman with tidal brain. Until the creation of Rivers State by Gowon, no OGONI man can sleep on the hospital bed in Bori GENERAL HOSPITAL .
As at 1977 only UYO ,PHC and CALABAR had electricity light. They were so underdeveloped by their Igbo overseers that you will think that you were in the Congo jungle.
Until Diette Spiff, there was no Ikwere named Street in Port Harcourt. To show how deep the derision is, the present Biafran agitatators changed the name of RIBISI (Phc) to IGWOCHA as if the IKWERES do not exist.
The third category are the Hausa Fulani. The igbos pretend to hate the Fulanis but the truth is that the Igbo man is subservient to them. Ignore the noise. There are historical facts to justify this. Zik served under BALEWA, EKWUEME served under SHAGARI and EKEREMANDU zoned the PDP presidency to the North because he wants to be the VICE PRESIDENT to a Northerner. After the civil war and OJUKWU was granted amnesty for his rebellion against constituted authority, he returned to Nigeria and he joined the Hausa fulani party (NPN) of those he accused of genocide against his Igbo people. It is Igbo tragedy that they hate and deride those who grow and sustain them while they cringe to those(the hausas) who kick them like balls. Igbos are the only race in nigeria that celebrate failure. In 1982, the igbos celebrated the defeat of biafra by welcoming ojukwu with fanfare on his return from asylum haven been granted amnesty by the igbo overlords- the hausa fulani. He revelled in the fanfare and promptly married FFK left over- forgotten the over 3million lgbos that died in the war and with many of them languishing at OJI RIVER CAMP.
The second celebration is the release of kanu with the most humiliating bail conditions ever granted an accused in the annals of Nigerian justice system. A bail conditions targeted at the entire Igbo race and granted by an Hausa Fulani judge. I could not believe that with all the noise, such bail conditions will be signed. But he signed and in his eagerness to leave kuje he abandoned his two conspirators in kuje. The bail conditions wiped out the Identity of the ibos and EKEREMANDU was made the enforcer of the conditions. FFK is a polemist like Femi ARIBISALA etc. They have the capacity to argue both sides of the same point. The igbos regard him as their hero just like Ayo fayose the Eze gburugburu the second and recently the renowned FEMI FALANA.
I hope very soon the by Igbo will not start blaming FALANA as they blamed Awo for everything that went wrong with their prosecution of the biafran war. I rest.

Any RAT, that attacks a Lion, out of fear, our of madness or out of whatever, has signed its own death warrant, nothing more to add to that.Now, you spent a few days in the U.S and you thnk that makes you to knwo everything that goes on in the U.S? People like you are just a joke! Did you watch the Orlando disturbance, did you not see soldeirs deployed?Did you watch the 'Black-lives-matter' uprising, did you not see soldeirs deployed?Infact, right now, there is hardly any difference between the American soldier and the Federal/State Police, in terms of deployment to the streets. The Police has been completely militiarised in terms of dressing code, mentality of "shoot-first', weapons and ammunition. As a matter of fact, all the war-surplus (weapons, munitions, APCs, e.t.c) left over from Iraq and Agfhanistan wars are currently deployed with the Police. Just google the examples l gave above and take a good look. Back to Mr. Femi Falana:When the Govt sends Police to quell a disturbance like that of Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB miscreants, some of the Police got killed, their weapons get snatched and many Police men get injured.If it were in America, what do you think woul dhappen next, if not to declare such group and action "a terrorist attack carried out by a terrorist group"? before you say jack, Specialist Forces will have been deployed. No questions asked. Buhari has explored and exhausted the deployment of the Police (as the tool for internal security) and such Police deployement has proved inadequate as the Police have been overpowered with some of them killed.
The President is empowered by the Constitution to deploy the military to put don such insurrection, deal with such terrorists, using all means necessary.
Mr. Falana (SAN) should stop playing to the gallery.I am sure he knows that Police men have been murdered on duty and their weapons snatched by these IPOB miscreants. Once you kill law-officers (Policemen) while on duty, you become an "enemy of the state" and must be neutralised.Try this, s a group, in the US and see what happens. IPOB is a violent, extremist group that have murdered the nations law officers (Police), seized their weapons and they must pay for this, to ensure that others are not encouraged to do such, in future. |

Bros, Just like you I had to sign in and make this observation about your post. I honestly think comparing the US and Nigerian military is not fair and more like comparing oranges with apples. I am a soldier with the US Army, and we get deployed for several civil activities, most recent was the Flood Issue in Houston. Every state Govt has accesa to activate their National Guard which are soldiers as well. Nevertheless, the US and Nigeria are in differnet climes. No one is threathening the territorial borders of the US, neither do we have experiences with Coups and Civil Wars in recent times. I lived in Texas, and I see oil rigs producing and no one is manning the place. No Mopol, Nothing Nothing, when its time tanker driver comes and transport the produced oil. You and I know that this is not possible in Nigeria. While you have a valid point, kindly use the Nigeria Factor as a lens to make the best judgement. The FG needs to be the big boy, but force is also a tool to get people in Line. 2 Likes 1 Share |

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.
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..
Good point!! |

What angers me the most is that there was no unrest of any kind caused by Kanu or even any ongoing protest when the useless massively corrupt army invaded the area!!
Kanu and his followers only protest peacefully. They don't attack or kill people or loot shops during protests. They conduct the most massive and peaceful protests in recent history. Is that what scares the Northern thieves in power?
So what crime did Kanu commit that should warrrant invasion by the crooked army? Or has protesting against government officially become a crime in this zoo country?
Even if Kanu has gone beyond his bail agreement, only the Court has the sole constitutional right and responsibility to reprimand Kalu, not the lawless corrupt fulani buhari or the army!! Buhari thinks he's a military head of State and also thinks he's above the law!!
Even the police has no right to harrass or arrest Kanu unless the Court orders his arrest! Until then, Kanu must be left alone!! |
