How Nnamdi Kanu Hijacked Biafra From MASSOB Leader And Went Rogue by Nobody: 8:02pm On Jun 09, 2020
From a council flat in Peckham to a country home in Umuahia, Nnamdi Kanu owes his rise to prominence to constant hate speech, an adulterated version of Judaism and the help of the Nigerian Government.

Nnamdi Kanu was born ‘Nwannekaenyi “Nnamdi” Kenny Okwu Kanu in Isiama Afara, a town in the area of Umuahia, the capital of Abia State. The exact date of his birth is not public knowledge, most claims put it at some time in 1970.

Kanu spent his formative years in the Igbo hinterland; by default, he must have been exposed to a more emotionally-influenced interpretation of the war, and the circumstances that surrounded it, from older soldiers and superiors.

Beyond that, there is enough to suggest that he was born close to the nucleus of the war, both in location and ideology.

His father, Eze Israel Okwu Kanu, an Igbo chief, conveyed much-needed aid to soldiers and civilians during the civil war. Not far from the Kanu family home is what is left of what used to be headquarters of the Biafran army, where his family claims Ojukwu once spent a couple of nights.

According to The Telegraph, he made his home in Sandlings Close, Peckham, an area in London that is also known as 'Little Lagos' for the large number of Nigerians who live there.

The self-proclaimed leader of Biafra holds a British passport that guarantees his entry into the United Kingdom at any point that he wishes.

It is not clear how Kanu spent most of his time in London, but what we do know is that it was while he was here that he first became involved in the fight for Biafra.

This is where things get interesting.

There are reports that he joined the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), the major face of Biafra at the time and became a favorite of its leader, Ralph Uwazurike.

At the time, Uwazurike was a marked man in the face of the Obasanjo administration. After several ‘excursions’ with his newest friends, the Department of State Services (DSS), starting in 2003, he was aware that he could only find success with a new approach.


That new approach was Radio Biafra.

Radio Biafra has its origins as a pirate radio station that broadcast propaganda during the civil war from a studio mounted on a jeep; a measure that the war and hovering warplanes made necessary.

Uwazuruike’s brainchild was intended for a similar purpose; a medium of spreading the message and ideals of the secessionist country to Igbo people and apologists across the world.

The station was to broadcast from a location outside Nigeria that the federal government would have no control over; because of Kanu’s residence in London, his eloquence and his relationship with MASSOB’s leader, he seemed the obvious choice for the role.

But Kanu had other ideas, in the weeks that followed, he took charge of Radio Biafra and from his council flat in Peckham, went rogue on MASSOB.

The year was 2009.

This decision would also have implications when he, alongside other disgruntled members of MASSOB formed a splinter group, what we now know as IPOB, short for the Indigenous People of Biafra.

I think Biafra have soft spot for him because he's yellow since most of them are dark, they see him as a rare breed that should be worshipped, apart from that I see no reason why Kanu should be leading tribe of intelligent men and women

At least he is better than Ken saro wiwa or Uwazurike

He hijacked it and today you are talking about Biafra and Ipob..Maybe if he was dull like your minority tribes in Nigeria, they might has reduced igbo Land to southern kaduna and Benue.

Look for Deji Adebanju or Tinubu. Nnamdi kanu is not your mate.. He doesn't suck Buhari ass to be relevant.

He is highly regarded as any igbo man that doesn't bend or slack when He is on a mission.

I'm saden by what is happening in southern kaduna, humanity first before religion. Kanu and Biafrans instead of easing the pain of those that loved their families, they are instead using whole painful situation for their own selfish agenda.

For example, the article forwarded - Nnamdi Kanu's Submission On Persecution Of Christians To US State Department

Kanu was busy discussing about Biafra and Judaism instead of focusing on the persecutions of Christians in Kaduna.

Proof

About 50 million of them - the Igbos - speak the Igbo language and are predominantly Christians, but with a rapidly growing Jewish minority. Their land is blessed with human and mineral resources including hydrocarbons. Biafrans are very commercially-inclined, industrious and are given to scholarly and professional pursuits. They had an established democratic institution even before colonization by the British. They are very republican and egalitarian in nature, and coexisted peacefully with their neighbours prior to colonization and their amalgamation with the rest of Nigeria in 1914.

Most Biafrans, especially the Igbos were slaughtered in their homes, offices, businesses, schools, colleges, hospitals, markets, churches, shrines, farmlands, factories/industrial enterprises, children’s playground, town halls, refugee centres, cars, lorries, and at bus stations, railway stations, airports, etc

It is to be noted that Kanu was borne in 1967 and thus never participated in the war of 1967 -1970. So, he couldn't have been driven by a sense of loss, revenge or bitterness;

The main purpose of IPOB’s campaign of misinformation is to confuse many Igbos with contradictory lies that will be repeated here and there until Igbos do not know what the truth is. For years, Igbos have allowed IPOB to spread lies that have poisoned the trust between us and the rest of the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria.

The cutting words of IPOB is worse than a bowstring. While a cut may heal, the cut of the tongue does not. Ultimately, what IPOB has succeeded in doing is stir up hatred between Igbos and the rest of Nigerians. So, I stand bold to state that IPOB is a disease; the lies and venom that they are vomiting through Nnamdi Kanu do not have to make sense to be successful as a disease.
