Where Was This Biafra Craze When Jonathan Was President? by Adextaiwo48(m): 10:19am On Oct 26, 2015 |
Which Comes First? The Jonathanian Or The Radio
Biafran?
I bet you have asked this question too. It can’t be denied… I
checked a whole bunch of actual names. I found many of the
same names that used to say, “GEJ till 2019”, are now the same
names saying, “Biafra or death”. But the topic is, which comes
first, the chicken or the egg.
Thankfully I have been listening to Nwannekaenyi Kenny Okwu-
Kanu who goes by the stage name, “Nnamdi Kanu,” for quite a
bit; assigned by my organisation [ENDS] to monitor his terror
potency as part of our primary mission to combat old and prevent
new terror in Nigeria.
Before the station re-dedicated itself for instigation of full terror
against the new government, Radio Biafra was a Jonathanian
bully organisation. In the beginning days and till late 2014 when
Nnamdi Kanu recognized that Jonathan was bound to lose, all
Radio Biafra did was prop-up PDP candidates and officials and
threaten death on Muslims and APC candidates and their
supporters. There’s tons of such recorded episodes.
Radio Biafra’s PDP Campaign And Opposition
Party Intimidation
Nnamdi Kanu threatened Rotimi Amaechi when the then Rivers
state governor picked up ‘arms’ against Goodluck Jonathan; that
period when Jonathan made 16 greater than 19…before APC was
born. He threatened and promised to kill Rochas Okorocha. He
promised death and ordered his members to harass and try to kill
Chief Sylvester O. Dimunah for converting to Islam. This was all
Radio Biafra was.
His words were as clearcut, cold and blatantly pro PDP and
Jonathan as can be seen in this excerpt from a facebook post he
made:
“DEALING WITH APC SUPPORTING SABOTEURS IN THE
BIAFRAN STRUGGLE …There will be no mercy, no pardon, no
forgiveness. All traitors must die and so too their families. This
nonsensical disease of Igbo saboteurs springing up all over the
place in the name of having a different opinion on Biafra
liberation will no longer be tolerated especially those who claim
they are Biafrans but are supporting APC or APC candidates.”
-Written by Nnamdi Kenny Okwu Kanu, owner RadioBiafra,
January 5th, 2014 on Radio Biafra facebook.
In fact at a time when Jonathan’s government was so hopeless to
the international world and where the administration-supervised
deadly campaign against the northeast was so glaring with Boko
Haram/Daesh in Nigeria successfully conquering 90% of Borno
state and also capturing the top half of Adamawa state and much
of Yobe state, Radio Biafra was strongly for Jonathan and his
army chief, General Azubuike Ihejirika despite them both facing
increasing global condemnation for the pogrom in the north.
Radio Biafra for its many years openly drummed up Igbo support
for the PDP-Jonathan-led government and terrorized the
opposition.
You must realize that as you can hear in this recording of
Nwannekaenyi Okwu-Kanu (Nnamdi Kanu) that I made at the
time, Nwannekaenyi said Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was Igbo, his
Igbo brethren [https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=EbNCBllNiWM]. Also recollect that General Azubuike
Ihejirika is the man that Boko Haram negotiator, Stephen Davis
accused of being a sponsor of Boko
Haram.
Jonathan was an Igbo president for Radio Biafra and in him and
with his policies they were well pleased. Till today, Radio Biafra
still holds its support for PDP governors left in the south. See
their tweet campaigning for mega corruption accused former PDP
governor Godswill Akpabio just this week.
Background Of The Jonathan-Ihejirika North
Pogrom, Destruction of Nigeria’s Military
We recollect that General Azubuike Ihejirika was the head of the
army for the four years that Boko Haram had unprecedented
territorial success, capturing 20 of 27 local governments in
Borno, then with public uproar, Ihejrika clears them back while
killing hundreds of Borno youth in careless military ops that were
as bad as the terrorists and got him Amnesty International
condemnation records; then he steps back again to allow Boko
Haram capture the 20 local governments again, and so on in a
continuous no-strategy cycle to eradicate the northeast of human
life. It was a pogrom and it led to the definition and entrenchment
the official deadliest terrorist group in the world that killed over
100,000 north-based people and displaced over 2 million,
especially farmers, leading to a catastrophe beyond proportions.
We recollect that it was General Ihejirika that the US accused of
amassing billions of dollars meant for equipping the military via
the Boko Haram pogrom which allowed for stupendous military
budgets that were diverted under him and Commander in Chief
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. We also recollect that General
Ihejirika was a mani beneficiary of the dividing up of lands meant
for military barracks’.
The Nigerian military was being purposefully undermined and
depleted under Jonathan and Ihejirika while certain civilians were
being given Nigeria’s arms and military hardware budget cash to
fund private armies. Tompolo was one such individual who was
given billions to be a so-called paramilitary force in the south
south to “defend Nigeria’s waterways.” It is recollected that at this
time oil theft rose to unprecedented levels in Nigeria’s history,
suggesting that the funding of Tompolo’s southern army was not
for what was portrayed.
My Debate With Nwannekaenyi Okwa-Kanu On
Why He Campaigned For Jonathan
In cogniscance of the above background, you will understand why
at the time I was frustrated seeing people who pretended to be
freedom fighters using their platform to campaign for Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan and the continued anti-north pogrom and
deliberate destruction of the Nigerian military under army
General Ihejirika’s watch. Jonathan was so bad and dangerous to
Nigeria and west Africa as a whole, I did not mind Ihejirika
seizing power for him.
Yes, when we look back at Nigeria’s military take overs, and
history of slightly longer northern rule, the north (80% of
Nigeria’s land mass) did not rule for 10 more years than the south
because they were elected into power, but because they seized
power on the claim that the administration in charge was
recklessly corrupt. Kaduna Nzeogwu had attempted the same but
possibly when he massacred many prominent Nigerians especially
northerners in his attempt, it flopped. Northerners however
sacked fellow northerners in power via coups on the claim of
doing good for Nigeria. We have even voted one such ex-military
ruler as our current president because I guess we appreciated
that he was really good and was for good, and wholeheartedly
forgive him for the coup.
We are as it appears free humans who like progress unrestricted
and not slaves to western political democracy per se. So now a
southern “Igbo” was president and General Azubuike Ihejirika was
in charge of the army. Why did Ihejirika not do something to save
Nigeria?
I challenged Nwannekaenyi, aka “Nnamdi.” “Why do you support
Jonathan and Ihejrika with their hopelessness and pogrom?” I
asked him. “Should Ihejirika not sack Jonathan for us? Why do
you support Jonathan?,” I pressed on Radio Biafra, under the
fake name “Smart Alec.”
Nwannekaenyi Okwu-Kanu defended the PDP president as his
person. It was clear Kanu was an arm or sponsored by Jonathan.
Nwannekaenyi said Jonathan was the only president that set up a
sovereign national conference. I called his BS. Several identical
conferences had been set up in the past and there was nothing
sovereign about this conference where certain references had
been banned, I told him. I am happy I recorded this debate and
evidence of what Nwannekaenyi Okwu-Kanu truly is/was
[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbNCBllNiWM]. He was Jonathanian through and through. The Jonathanian comes before the Radio Biafran, apparently. As Jonathan Loses, Radio Biafra Becomes Agitator It was only when the permutations were poor and it was glaring that Jonathan would loose as Nwannekaenyi started mentioning on his broadcasts that “Biafra or death” started coming up. Biafra or death is the Jonathanians’ plan B. And while these masters, Jonathan, Ihejirika, Nwannekaenyi Okwu-Kanu and the like have tremendous material gain of these various schemes, it is the gullible youth followers that one must pity as they mumuishly follow the chicken and the egg and rubbish perhaps worthwhile and widespread legitimate causes for true federalism, independence and self determination.
