Can't believe I am reading this...! Someone must have hacked into this chap's account. sad

Not really. Cumbak60 (blues20) has always been a reasonable fella. We do not agree on many things but I can vouch for the fact that he is averse to any Biafra that contains non-Igboid groups. His own conception of Biafra and the Igbo cause is more tolerant and "open-minded". Again, he also sees through the shallowness of Nnamdi Kanu's vitriolic.


But then, I do not know of your previous encounter(s) with him. My appraisal is based on my experience with him cheesy!

They are zombies. Mathy, this is blues20. My moniker was given a one year ban, so I angrily suspend it. I'm a core Biafran, but from my findings, Nnamdi Kanu's Biafra is a disaster waiting to happen. The religion fanaticism exuded by his followers without questioning makes me believe its more of a charade than reality. I see him as someone actually standing on the way Biafra restoration with the way he is going about it.
He is not in any position to give us Biafra......


Hey why don't you listen to the interview first.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-pIKNoDEfM

Listen and hear the things he said which included how people see Igbos, how SNC could have solved issues in Nigeria, and a host of other things.
He doesn't support the coup, and how the narrative which followed the description of the coup changed everything.
How everyone fears Fulani people who are treated like sacred cows.

Truth be told, until Nigeria starts doing the right things, nobody can counter this man's narrative, that is a bitter pill.
I am happy to have someone say the truth as it is.

Get off my mention. You guys, IPOB zombies, the worst zombies I have ever seen so far can't reason with your head again. Nnamdi Kanu is now your demi-god. Idiots. just carve out my state from your Nnamdi Kanu Biafra.
While his wife and kids are in the UK, he is raving on how to gag Nigeria into war against Ndi'Igbo again. May that war start and end in his father's palace. Amen. Yes, I'm Igbo from Ebonyi State. And for your information, my people fought and bled for Biafra more than even you loud mouth Igbos found in Abia and the rest......

While he made some good points on the state of the Nigerian nation, he is at best very idealistic on the Biafran issue. He acknowledged that multi-ethnicity is one of the problems with Nigeria yet he blatantly referred to the Niger Delta (including the many non-Igboid tribes -and even mentioning Itsekiri & Isoko) as "Southern Biafra". Such delusion and audacity are among the reasons why Biafra may never be a reality any time soon.

He said so many things; mainly utopic in nature. However, he did not state the framework for which Biafra will operate its federal structure. It is not just about granting ethnicities their own regions. That will not solve all of the problems. There are core issues that need to be addressed in a federation and he never spoke one bit about any of them. Rather he was boasting about making Lokoja a "seaport" and "dredging the river Niger". Making it seem like he is campaigning to the Tiv and other Middle Belt groups.

For someone who wants Biafra so much, he paid more attention to Nigeria, Tinubu, Mohammed, and the North. He exuded more of a personal angst and vendetta against Nigeria and Nigerians, rather than a genuine love for Biafra.


Finally... All I can say is that this interview has reinforced my conviction that the Biafra agitation, as it is now, is nothing more than blatant idealism by misguided youths, led by a delusional man whose main justification for the struggle is his hatred for the Hausa-Fulani and the "Zoo", as he puts it.

Ok, just for the heck of it, let me say you are right. But the real question then is can a Yoruba come up with ideas that can change/transform Nigeria which have been a monumental disaster from birth, other than from a position of, we have Lagos, sea port, international airport, the highest IGR from 60% companies within the Nigerian economic space, and therefore, we don't care about the Nigerian tragedies, .....until somebody shows up to change those tragedies for his people and you feel threatened. Yorubas are also scared stiff of a restricted access to attractive Igbo women sex....their #1 selfish desire.....for them every thing in Nigeria is for them to keep selfishly(international airport, sea port, echo Atlantic, access to attractive Igbo women/sex & etc) and will fight or beg for Nigerian unity..not to correct "the'" tragedies, but to maintain the selfish order. (Not all Yorubas though...but I will say 90%).

If you dont support their war cry and hate speech they term you afonja. I am wondering how a people seeking for independence want to antagonise those who would share boundary with them if they eventually get their country.

The name "Biafra" is not Igbo but the southern bay of the Atlantic which Kanu clearly indicated is subject to negotiating away if other nations decides to join the progressive and egalitarian Igbos in moving the black race forward. Biafra emancipation is inevitable and that'll be the catalyst of West African renaissance, the sooner the better. Oil is the worst thing to have happened to old Nigeria, Biafra without oil would be the greatest blessing to the young nation.
What we are witnessing is the lazy Nigerian politicians not having anywhere to hide, the visionaries are coming to the fore thanks in large measures to social media, the journey maybe painful but Uhuru is definitely within grasp.....

Bro, there can never be a more tragedy than Nigeria.
Calculatedly, since her birth, Nigeria have lost close to 35 million lifes and will loose equal numbers by the year 2035.(UN on global average life span of 70 years) US through their council on foreign relations have set up a day by day tracker on the # of Nigerians dieing every day and the cause of death. Nigerians like you cannot do critical reasoning or have analytical skills. The Biafrans have move one notch up above the average Nigerians because through their critical reasoning and analytical skills have come to the conclusion that the Nigerian tragedies are foundational and dysfunctional political structure, while almost all Yorubas and Hausa Fulani and some Igbo elites believe that it's a LEADERSHIP problem.......far from it.

He asked why they failed to implement all the SNCs since 1996 till date.
Also said if the so called Nigerian leaders had brain that works, they could have started implementing the CONFAB, and used that as a footing to build a progressive country where wishes and aspirations of the least in society is taken into account, but all they do is make budget on oil and gas, every month they share money and cycle continues.
He said Politicians put him in jail close to two years cos they know he has come to spoil their show.

Why do you people always shout down people who raise concerns about issues pertaining to biafra with that word afonja?
So we must all swallow hook line and sinker whatever mazi Nnamdi Kanu says? So I is not entitled to a temporary opinion or to seek clarification on certain issues?

Is it that we can not argue logically or we just have hatred deep in our hrt?

How do you convince those (a lot actually) who are undecided about biafra to jump ship?

I have not heard Nnamdi Kanu spk and I don't want to hear him spk for now but if dis man and d South East wnt to go, I don't know y anyone shud oppose or b angry. we shud grow beyond wars in settling differences. d war of 1967 shud have shown us by now that war doesn't give a permanent fix to a situation.

all dat is needed is to find out who else wnt to go wit dem nd let dem go except we are convinced nd afraid that Nigeria wil not be able to move forward without the igbos of which I doubt.


we in Nigeria are jst too concerned with Nationhood than in self development as a people. no one shud b forced to think like the other. we are uniquely different.

I wonder if no one is tired of our political leaders taking huge salaries and allowances and yet the state still pays their personal bills like wardrobe, electricity, health, food consumption etc??

I tort suffering only exists in the south until I travelled to the north.

we must tell ourselves d truth, if wit 57yrs together in d presence of abundance of natural resources we cnt development, while don't we try sumtin different??

are we so afraid of change dat we do not consider the possibility of progress or self development??

I bet many other geopolitical zones wud wnt to go too but lacks d courage to say it wit a united voice the igbos.

igbos if Biafra is ever achieved, those political leaders now that didn't support ur course shud b banned permanently from politics in ur state.

we are even talking about the Biafra's agitation, no one is talking about the agitation / oppression of the Shi'ites Muslims in the North or the rootless killings by d Fulani's herdsmen around the middle belt region and southern Nigeria.
