nwabobo: Actually you're right. When they were declared a terrorist organisation I actually agreed but really looking at the facts they as a group have not really done anything apart from say they want to separate from Nigeria. Nnamdi Kanu incited violence when he was at radio Biafra but that was a long time ago and NONE OF HIS SUPPORTERS RESPONDED WITH VIOLENCE. I think because the word 'terrorist group' rather than 'separatist group' evokes people not to look behind at the issues and in their minds justifies violence and heavy handedness towards such a group, the Nigerian government are really invested in the rest of the world seeing IPOB as terrorists. If you actually look at IPOB when compared to Boko Haram or Al Qaeda they are in no way the same. 4 Likes |

YOU KEEP SAYING NNAMDI KANU ABUSED THE PRESIDENT AND ALL THAT. DIDN'T BUHARI USE HATE SPEECHES? DIDN'T AMAECHI USE HATE SPEECHES? DIDN'T LIAR MUHAMMAD USE SAME. PLEASE SPEAR ME THOSE EXCUSES,THAT MEANS WE ARE IN AN WORLD OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ASSOCIATION, THAT BILL SIGNED BY JONATHAN BROUGHT THE APC INTO POWER TODAY...YOU CAN'T LABEL AN ORGANISATION THAT HAS NOT KILLED BEFORE AS TERRORIST ALL THE GOVT NEEDED TO DO WAS WATCH CLOSELY. THEY COMPLAIN OF BIAFRA SECRET SERVICE DON'T WE HAVE THE OPC IN THE WEST AND SHARIA POLICE IN THE NORTH? THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA IS NOT IPOB AGITATIONS IT IS THE INBALANCES AND BAD ECONOMY. THE NORTH HAS BEEN UNFAIR TO THE REST NIGERIANS. WE HAVE OVER 6000 AGENCIES 90% OF THE AGENCIES ARE IN THE NORTH. YOU HAVE NATIONAL AGENCY FOR SOIL MANAGEMENT, NATIONAL AGENCY FOR SOIL PROTECTION, NATIONAL AGENCY FOR SOIL SOVEREIGNTY, AGENCY FOR SOIL GUIDIANCE. THE NAMES ALL SOUND SAME AND PERFORM SAME FUNCTIONS BUT BECAUSE OF GREED THE NORTH CREATED THOSE AGENCIES TO ROB THE NIGERIAN STATE. WHEN EVER FAAC IS SHARED AND FG COLLECTS IT SHARE 80% OF THAT GOES TO RECURRENT EXPENDITURE AND 80% OF RECURRENT EXPENDITURE IS SPENT ON THE NORTHERNERS BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE IN THE CIVIL SERVICE. NOPOTISM OF THE NORTH IS THE ISSUE WITH NIGERIA TODAY. PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP. THE BENUE MAN NOW KNOWS THAT HE IS TRULY THE FOOD BASKET OF THE NATION IGBO MAN KNOWS HE IS GOOD IN TRADE. ALSO LET ME TELL SOME OF YOU WHO SAY IGBOS CONTRIBUTE NOTHING TO THE GDP. IF TODAY IGBOS DO A SIT AT HOME FOR TWO DAYS OUR PORTS OFFICIALS WILL BEG AND NIGERIA WILL LOSE ALOT OF REVENUE FROM OUR PORTS. IGBOS CONTROL THE TRADE IN AFRICA. TAKE A TRIP TO TOGO, IVORY COAST, S.A, COTONOU,GHANA, AND MENTION ALL AFRICAN COUNTRIES, IGBOS ARE THE MAJOR IMPORTERS IN THOSE COUNTRIES. FURTHERMORE, IT MIGHT INTEREST YOU TO KNOW THAT 40% OF REVENUE FROM CHINA'S EXPORT COMES FROM AFRICAN TRADE AND IGBOS IMPORT 90% OF CHINESE PRODUCTS IN AFRICA. BUT THE NIGERIAN STATE HAS DECIDED TO NEGLET THESES SPECIAL TRIBE. SOME ONE WILL COME HERE TO SAY WE HAD SENATE PRESIDENTS ,SSG, FINANCE MINISTER AND ALL THAT CRAP. HOW WILL THEY BRING FEDERAL PRESENCE WHEN THE NORTH IS MORE IN THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AND KEEPS SHOUTING NAA AT EVERY VOTE FOR PROJECTS THAT SHOULD COME TO THE EAST. IS IT FAIR?

freshvine: You are correct, my brother. The fact that US is silent on their stand on Biafra is a clear indication that they are not with Nigeria on the issue of Biafra. The implication of that is that they will not aid Nigeria in anyway to suppress the agitation. Besides they will take a stand against Nigeria, in the event that it continues to commit genocide against her own citizens. 6 Likes |

nwabobo:Fool, how is Nigeria govt messing up? You Ojukwus will never learn anything because of your stupidity and arrogance. This law labelling ipob as terrorist group has nothing to do with US law because their activities do not constitute any threats to their interests. Are the liepod member not saying again that Trump is supporting them? So,those that were killed by NA during Trump inauguration died in vain. Can you see the reasons why other tribes will not show any sympathy if NA kill you in droves because your secessionist leaders are not interested in you being alive as long as financial reasons is top of their agenda. Ojukwu led 2m flat heads to their Golgotha about 50 years ago and this albino has led hundreds (still counting) to their early graves. One thing is common to both: fleeing when their presence are needed most. We warned severally, but you fools were calling us coward Afonja. Can you see which tribe is more cowardly? With these chest beatings,arrogance and greed, no tribe can trust you. Even, the SS you are forcing yourselves on are watching you with their eyes open. You fools were saying SW is not part South because of SS/SE governors' forum you ojukwus masterminded to force SS together with you. Your whole economy is less than Ogun and Oyo states together. We can not envy you because you only envy those above you, not beneath. SW constitutes 52% of nation's economy.How can we envy a parasitic region making less than 7% of Nigeria's economy second only to war ravaged NE. Where Nnamdiot Cownu now? Is he dead or on the run? This is a misery that time will unravel!!! |

Apawicked: Fulani militants are considered terrorists in Nigeria and that's why there are 2 ongoing military operations against them. http://www.nigerianmonitor.com/nigerian-soldiers-arrest-92-armed-fulani-herdsmen-in-abuja/ Right now, the discourse is about the IPOB terrorist group so stop derailing. |

nwabobo: Please read very well “Within the context of unity, we encourage all Nigerians to support a de-escalation of tensions and peaceful resolution of grievances. The Indigenous People of Biafra is not a terrorist organisation under US law.” IPOB is not a terrorist under the US law not under the Nigerian law. Every country has his laws and regualtions.. LGBT is illegal under the Nigerian law but not Illegal in the US. So to your tent o Isreal Please use your brain and don't let sensational journalism render your education useless... Just my one cent... |

Nigeria and the US are sovereign countries and make their laws independent of each other. Nigeria recognises IPOB to be a terrorist group, the US is free to agree or refuse. |

geosegun: Terrorism has a global definition my friend. You can't conjure what you like and commit illegality with it. Even under Nigerian laws, IPOB doesn't qualify for that tag. Since Nigeria's laws are different from US laws, let Nigeria go hobnobbing with any group US declares as terrorist or let Nigeria tell them that any such group is not recognised as terror groups UNDER NIGERIAN LAW. 7 Likes |
