You guys are wasting time, the British govt. is in a better position to get him released but Nnamdi isn't helping himself by talking bad about the British.

Oh you mean the area that was conquered and named after a stupid River by Lugard? Didn't anybody tell you that Lugard has gone back to Britain? So what are you still doing here? As a follower of Lord Lugard, you have to follow him to Britain
before lord lugard came to nigeria that whole igbo region belonged to benin empire. you igbos relocated there from cameroon. you are from cameroon, go back home to cameroon .

What these people fail to realize is the shame and ridicule the biafra movement has become ever since Nnamdi kanu was discovered to be a fraud and arrested by the Nigerian government. Right to self determination is a treasonable offense against the Nigerian state because it's not captured in our Constitution. It is totally illegal for any region or group of people to demand seccession from Nigeria. The penalty would have been death if we were in a military regime. The Indian government recently opened fire on secessionist in the Kashmir region of India just to serve as a deterrent to future agitators. Despite having a referendum, Scotland chose to remain in the UK cos they for-saw their impending doom if they decide to leave. The Spanish government have disregarded several calls for catalonia to break away from spain. Russia recently annexed crimea from Ukraine after the crimeans got tired of life outside the soviet Union. The people of South Sudan are regretting their decision to leave Sudan till today and yet the Igbo's are hell bent on having biafra despite all the glaring indices of an impending failure if biafra is ever achieved. No country in the world wants a break away of its territory. Even the United States that preaches freedom disregarded Texas's call for seccession. The reason for seccession of the Igbo's has not been clearly defined. The fruitless agitations is fuelled by hate and jealousy of other region's political stability and doggedness. Their political miscalculations in the last elections gave birth to the recent biafra calls headed by the disgruntled element called Nnamdi kanu who was feeding fat on the Biafran sentiment before been apprehended. The British saw a potential in our diversity before merging us together as a united Nigeria and every sane mind believes the future of the Igbo's lie in nigeria. What we need is a united south and we will wrestle political power away from Northern monopoly who sees power as their birth right. Will the Igbo's ever work with bourdillon to achieve a united south? Time will tell. Say no to biafra, God bless Nigeria sad

Malaysia secedeed from which country? In reality the biafran bid for secession is emotional and has nothing to do with economics except of course the gamble that oil producing areas will go along with Biafra and therefore provide the required resource to the exclusion of a wider population.

so where were they (kanu and his fellow biafran protesters ) when gej was at the helm of this country affairs for yrs? were they sleeping then or never thought of gaining freedom from contraption called Nigeria.. well, good luck to them in their quest for freedom ..

What's with this Biafra ish everytime, is it that you IPOB miscreants don't know Nnamdi Kanu still has a long time in Kuje prison and your dream of Biafra on that albino's term is DOA?
Kanu a British citizen in a Nigerian prison and the British government said nothing, your brainwashed mates killed by security forces and not one international body or country saying anything about it. Continue preaching your hate as taught by Kanu. Na una e go tire.

Your summation is a well constructed hokum & intellectual spittle! The only reason the British merged us was because of the enormous resources that abound in our regions and they knew they could still remotely control Nigeria if they handed over power to their loyal Northen cronies. The aftermath of almagation is what we are facing today, the killings in the name of religion,one region thinking Nigeria is there birthright,the consistent submerging of the minority ethnicities by the majority. We really need to think hard on what we want for our nation,if we really want to stay together united or disintegrate.

The reason the north keeps dominating is because they are united. Buhari has been winning Jonathan in the north since 2011 but he needed paltry votes from the SW to defeat Jonathan in 2015. This means there is power in unity if the south unites. Will the Igbo's unite with the SW? Your guess is as good as mine undecided

Please kindly shut up if you don't have concrete facts to back your claims. You voted twice for OBJ because he is performing to some extent and did not marginalised any tribe during his regime. SW and even the north (NC/NE in particular) voted en mass for GEJ during 2011 election but his clueless rule coupled with marginalisation led to his loss.

guy, shut your comment and shove it up in your a55. What do you expect? The country is not operating a true federalism, the region has been neglected by past government, the people of that region are less in top politics.. There have been much killings of the people in other regions .. All this and more is what they have chosen to seek for an independent state, independent country.. Is it hard for the govt to understand? The govt have failed to help them, so they are saying they want their own land.. leave them let them suffer, they know what they want.. Give me Biafra and we do away with Nigeria is what the east are seeking for!!! Is it to hard to comprehend?

Ure bn hypocritical. How about asking if the SW will unite with the Igbos? Every people have the right to take their political inclinations. However, what matters is if they are proved right or wrong at the end of the day. From all indications, the Igbos' decision to align with GEJ has bn justified so far. If Bourdillon is as powerful as u portray it, it won't be needing any help to install the govt of it's choice.

this is the story of Nigeria, some people always use general sentiments to instigate the general populace into helping them achieve their own ulterior motives.

Generally, Igbos want Biafra but those at the forefront of the struggle presently are not honest. They are learned enough to know they are going about it the wrong way, the right way is calling for a referendum thru your senators, reps and any other people you have in power but because of personal gains they wouldn't do that. they prefer to mislead their people as far as their pocket is full.
That's the same strategy APC used on us, they know the general populace want a change of govt, they just used that to get the public behind them and overthrow PDP. what we have now is just a change in govt personnel and an increase in poverty and suffering for the masses.
As strange as it is, the Igbos needs the SW to push for their referendum because it's a game of numbers. All this insult and fighting will not help the masses it's only helping the elites because the people will abandon the real issues that way.
For example, the money allocated to the Niger Delta since 1999 was recently calculated to be running into trillions and over 70% of that has been mismanaged but some people are using the militants to divert attention of the Niger Deltans to something else. these people never ask what have we done with the money we have gotten so far, all they make them see is that the govt shd have given them 100% resource control. I quite agree with that but what have we done with what we have for now?

There is freedom or referendum and possible secession if need be after a 100 year together. You have spoken well but a true and clear resemblance of what is happening in Nigeria is like a man (Nigeria) who is married to two women (Arewa and Biafra let's forget about the west in this) but doesn't treat both women equally despite the fact that the short changed wife contributes hugely to the success of the home. The one who is less cared for demands her rights but she is turned down and when she seeks to opt out of the marriage, the man refuses because he believes her future lies with him. In the midst of all these, there is no single peace in the household and all the three parties are not happy.

I am not an Easterner neither am I pro- Biafra even though I have done extensive research about the whole Nigerian civil war/ call for Biafra back then and I don't blame them because if I were wearing their shoes, I would and will behave the same way. I am pro fiscal or true federalism. But in a situation where that has been refused to be considered, what is left is chosen.
