Afam4eva:
I will keep saying that the call by Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB for disintegration does not contravene any known laws so should not be treated as a criminal case. Even though i have reservations about some of his choice of words, especially in the past, i think what he is doing is a germaine attempt to rile the government of the day to take Ndigbo seriously.

However, i'm disturbed by his recent statement that if Biafra is not given a referendum, that elections will not hold in Igboland, starting with the Anambra elections that comes up in November. While i know him and his group will pull something simila to the successful sit-at-home order, which in itself is within their rights and also does ot contravene any laws, i think if he goes ahead with his threat, we may taking Anambr state and Igboland back to the dark ages. Because it might give some people who have no business being in government taking over government because the electorates did not come out to vote.

We may not be whre we want to be but the Anambra state government starting from Peter Obi now to Obiano have made some leap which we're hoping that future governors will consolidate on.

So, i want every right thinking Igbo man to condemn Kanu's statement and i appeal to him to withdraw his statement.

CutieGuy:
My brother ..
One of my friend was killed in nkpor onitsha.
And the painful part of it is that'this same obiano denied it, and as such he gave a false report to the army panel.
Where as the amnesty international has condemn vehemently the so called panel report.

APGA instead of realising there mistake and ask for forgiveness from the deceased families.
They were just hitting up the polity.

Ok today they wrote a threatening letter to nnamdi kanu to stay clear from Anambra election, as if they will be able to quench uprising from IPOB if they try nonsense with our leader.
As for me and my family, we have already concluded that none of us is going out to vote .

And if they felt that they will use force to threatened us ,then they should be ready for 70 million Igbos.
From house to house,burn fire go they showcase.

I support his election boycott call as an Anambra man. If we are serious about getting Biafra, we have to start a non violent revolution in Nigeria that will shake the polity. When politicians in the SE/SS realise they can be thrown out of office by election boycott, they will sit up and take Biafra seriously. When the federal govt realises that people are disengaging from politics, they will sit up.

We cannot be saying that we want change but we keep doing the same thing over and over again. It is time for us all to disengage from the political process of Nigeria.

This talk that it will take Igbos back is laughable. Igbo will always be taken backwards until the leave Nigeria

SonofDevil:
tribal bigots like u re fully in support but don't want to come out publicly .
None of ur leaders or governors condemned him for hate speech at the initial stage cos they feel it doesn't affect them .
Like some said it is sweet to enjoy a mad man display but once he make attempt to enter into peoples houses it will be met with a firm resistance .
You hypocrites should live with it

gartamanta:


Really? But Lord Lugard decided your country. His wife decided your name. Niether Lugard or his wife were even Africans.




Orji Uzor Kalu can try to convince Kanu to see his way, no harm in that. It is left for Nnamdi Kanu to accept or accept Orji Uzor Kalu's advice.



You are talking about PDP politicians? If APC politicians decide to meet Kanu on a date for a referendum, Nnamdi Kanu will dine with them too




My brother, if one man can make a statement and it will endanger his brethren in a place that is supposed their own country, it shouldnt be their country. It means Nigeria is a waste of time. So when Sultan of Sokoto says something, Hausas will be killed somewhere? When Soyinka says something, Yorubas will killed somewhere? So what is the point of Nigeria when what one persons says one thing and others are endangered?



Ojukeu never regretted Biafra, there are many youtube videos where he he says he is proud to have led Biafra.




Nnamdi Kanu spent almost 2 years in jail for his beliefs. He was in London, he didnt need to come down to Nigeria where he was already a wanted man. But he did. He stands for self determination and freedom. Just because Lugard lumped all of us together does not mean we are one country, nor does it mean we are one. Nnamdi Kanu is just evidence that Nigeria is unworkable.

IAMMUIC:
My name is Macquis Udochukwu and I'm Igbo by ethnicity. I was born and brought up in lagos, in other words I've been in Lagos all my life. So also my parents. My parents have invested so much in Lagos, and telling them to leave behind all their investments and properties behind and move over to the region Biafra really doesn't settle well with me. Igbos Keep complaining about them being marginalized, but are they the only ones who have been marginalized in Nigeria?

I recently stumbled on an article where the so-called Messiah of the igbos Nnamdi Kanu openly declared his plans to bring Nigeria to ruins, a threat he plans to carry out by making sure no president emerges in 2019. According to him, all Biafran states will boycott the 2019 presidential election.

One thing I know for certain is that the only thing that can separate Nigeria is war. Another Civil war! It was also the case with Sudan and other countries that suffered secession as we all know it. What really happened in Sudan? After South Sudan had gotten the much desired freedom, was there ever peace within their walls? If at all the goal of Nnamdi Kanu and a handful of igbos are achieved, will Biafra ever be a nation of peace, stability and prosperity?

Truth is, the problem with Nigeria isn't Nigeria, a particular set of tribe or people, it is man himself. Man by nature is corrupt as we all know, Nnamdi Kanu himself isn't free corruption or human flaws. He too would disappoint as many as put their trust in him. We live in a flawed world overflowing with flawed men, igbos and every other tribe should understand this and live with it. Biafra is not going to be heaven or Canaan land as some are programmed to believe. There would be problems, such as we're currently experiencing in Nigeria.

I'm not comfortable with Nnamdi saying things on behalf of the entire Igbo nation as though he speaks for the entire Igbo nation. Let a poll be conducted to decide which Igbos are in support of Nnamdi's selfish action and those not in support. This would go a long way to correct the impression that all igbos are in full support of his actions. By the way, I wonder how Biafra would survive without the support of the Niger Delta region.

As Nigerians let us be wise and not be a gullible people. Let us not act like lower animals-the likes of cows and sheep, programmed to never think, but just follow anyone who leads them not minding the credibility or motif of the said shepherd.

God bless Nigeria and those dwelling within her walls!

adadike281:
me, my family and my group will vote. I have spoken to lots of people and many have changed their mind and will vote in November. Tomorrow, I will call my people at ihiala and ozubulu and speak to them on d importance of voting dis Nov. Everyone of us cannot be kanu's ass lickers

Afam4eva:

If you have something to say, say it to me. The problem with Nigerians is that we want everybody to think the way we do without considering that there are social, economic, religious and educational differences between Nigerians. I have never come out to show any form of support to Kanu even though i understand his grouse with the federation. Show me any freedom fighter or a supposed hero in the past that was perfect? Is it Mandela? Ghandi? It's one thing to be conciliatory with a course being spearheaded by a person and it's another thing to call the person to order when they cross the line.

Some of come off pretending that your only concerned about Kanu and his modus operandi when in actuall fact, you just hate the air that Igbos breathe. How come Uwazuruike that was very subtle and gentlemanly in his disposition was thrown into jail even though he towed the path that some people are advising Nnamdi Kanu to follow - DIALOGUE.

So, my dear it's really not about Kanu for some of you. It's your perpetual hate for a part of this country and you can keep telling yourselves lies to help you sleep at night.

Mynd44:

Me hate? Looool.

But then again, we can actually pull out post to support your tribal bigotry and sturvs.

Oh, do I need to remind you that not vocally supporting insanity does not mean you were against it. It could have just meant you didn't want to be associated with such filth.

Anyway, enjoy the madness Nnamdi Kanu brings, y'all through your action/inaction made him larger than life.

Make I go sleep abeg

Dera100:

but he is not carring everybody along...most roads in ozubulu is dead trap...d last time I went to Onitsha at ose okwu odu(ose market)...d road that leads to the market is a dead trap....he may be working in his senotraian district but he has not done anything to warrant a second tenure from us Esp those of us from Anambra south...I rest my case here..most of the companies here are owned by private individuals...

isalegan2:


Will no one rid us of this troublesome Ekiti vagabond called Mynd4.4?

Stop your lies against Afam. I've been on Nairaland Politics section since 2010.

Mrbigman1:


Seun and lalasticalala, pls ban this guy for using his anus instead Dan his brain.

KemjikaEme:
This saga between Kanu and Anambra natives has exposed the fact that Anambra people are noitoriously Clannish and bigoted which will ultimately drag Igbos and actualization backwards.
It is ok to dispute and disregard Kanu's call to boycott elections but downright disrespectful to claim that an 'Abia' man is not intelligent and good enough to tell Anambra what to do.
Is this how we intend to achieve Biafra? By making belligerent, caustic and stuupid utterances that belittle other Igbo people,states and groups.
I'm afraid Biafra is not and may not be the Utopia we dream of going by the Clannish reputation and character of Ndi Anambra.
It is unfortunate.

Agumbaa:


APGA bit more than they can chew by that threatening letter they sent to NK.
Watch the video of NK in Ihiala today, everyone along that major road was hailing him, people who aren't IPOB members to start with.

I dey here sha, long way till November, fact is, IPOB will pull this off, they have started going round the state already to preach it to people.

What happens after, I don't know, but some ethnic groups in Nepal boycotted election this week, they refused to vote, they said they need Constitutional Amendment.
What is the grouse if you ask me -:

Recently Nepal moved from being a Hindu state to a more secular state, and they drafted a constitution, now the problem here is that, like Nigeria, they did not get opinion of everyone before creating the constitution, another thing two, they created 8 states and in that 8 states, they balkanized alot of the ethnic minorities and added their territories to other states, and it got the people infuriated.
They have been calling and making moves calling for the constitution to be amended and their issues settled, the government refused to do that, what did they do.
- All the ethnic groups who have issues with the constitution, said they can never participate in elections further, the government has been arresting people and using soldiers to flood the whole communities, they said the election is not for them, that they can never vote.

They found the perfect opportunity to express their dissatisfaction, and that is what they did. People resides with the people, and they can use it as they deem fit.

KemjikaEme:

This clannish will be thrice replicated in Biafra. It will be the nemesis of the Igbo nation.
Last time i checked umu omambala is not a homogenous group but an artificial creation.

Seun and lalasticalala, pls ban this guy for using his anus instead Dan his brain.

Nothing bigoted about his post. Afam4Eva is one of most honest and ethical posters on Nairaland.

Fact is, Igbos feel marginalised in Nigeria, and at this point in time, since I can remember, I have never heard people express more anti-Igbo opinions, not only online but also in real life. It is really worrying.

Anti-igbo hatred has reached pandemic proportions.
