You Are A Hypocrite If You Call Mandela & Luther A Hero But Insults Nnamdi Kanu by Baronlarge(m): 8:52am On Jul 25, 2017
When i hear people insult Nnamdi Kanu because of Biafra Agitation and those same people call Mandela, Malcom X, Gandhi, Martin Luther HEROES ?

None of them sat in the comfort of their houses to gain freedom they came out on the street held massive rallies, lives were sacrificed, people died most of them even died too

There is not a claim to freedom that has not exacted a price. Jesus, the son of God, had to lay down his life, for the freedom of those who will choose to believe him.

“The price for freedom is eternal vigilance.” As we celebrate the life and contributions of Nelson ‘Madiba” Nelson, I can’t help but ask, “Does freedom come freely ?”

Nelson Mandela
Mandela was a drastic fighter, he took the Apartheid struggle to the street, many south Africans lost their lives in the fight for freedom, he went to Jail for 27 years before South Africa gained their independence

On March 21, 1960, an organized group of protesters gathered at the police station singing liberation songs and asking to be arrested since they did not have their passes. Estimates put the number of protesters at 5000 to 7000. However, this protest did not end peacefully and at least 69 black Africans were killed and 180 injured (there are claims of as many as 300) when South African police opened fire at the township of Sharpeville, near Vereeniging in the Transvaal. The Sharpeville Massacre, as the event has become known, signaled the start of armed resistance in South Africa, and prompted worldwide condemnation of South Africa’s Apartheid policies.”

Following the Sharpeville Massacre, it is noted that Mandela realized that peaceful protest was highly ineffective so he co-founded and became leader of the Umkhonto we Sizwe, or Spear of the Nation branch of the ANC. I daresay that like abolitionist, Frederick Douglas, he too realized that power concedes nothing without a demand. If they wanted to be free in their own land, they had to be willing to lay down their lives for that freedom.


Martin Luther

Beaten, Stabbed, Jailed. Martin Luther Wasn’t Killed Until He Spoke Out Against War & Capitalist Greed.
Hated by the white supremacist just like the Hausa Fulani supremacist hate Nnamdi Kanu, Adaka Boro, Ken Sarowiwa, Asari Dokubor and anyone fighting for the right of their people from other regions in Nigeria.

In the mid-1950s, King was not yet committed to the principle of passive resistance. He applied for a firearms permit during a period when his home and several Montgomery churches were bombed. He was more concerned family man than pacifist. It was not until later, according to King’s own writings, that he decided he could not advocate nonviolent resistance while resorting to armed self-defense. There was also the issue of gun ownership vis-a-vis his faith in God to protect himself and his family, or his persecuted race as a whole.

Nnamdi Kanu is doing his own today for his people
who is doing it for your own people ?

Stop attacking and start FIGHTING for your rights
Not inside the comfort of your rooms but on the street because you will never be heard from Facebook unless you take your fight to the street !!!

If you cant fight to liberate yourself from this Northern oppression, Invasion, attack and killing of our people in Edo, Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Ondo, Ekiti, Lagos, Osun,Benue, Jos, Ogun, Enugu by Hausa Fulani Herdsmen then stop attacking the people doing so...

It is an act of stupidity !!!

We are second class citizens inside our own country

You might as well add Ojukwu.

How can you make such comparisons
Re: You Are A Hypocrite If You Call Mandela & Luther A Hero But Insults Nnamdi Kanu by Nobody: 8:54am On Jul 25, 2017
SECESSION IS NOT THE ANSWER TO NIGERIA'S PROBLEM.

THOUGH THE SOUTH EAST HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PUNISHED FOR REBELLING AGAINST THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT WHICH LEAD TO A CIVIL WAR BUT ITS ENOUGH.

LETS LIVE BY THE DECLARATION OF "NO VICTOR NO VANQUISHED'

LETS RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA AND GO BACK TO FISCAL FEDERALISM

LET STATES MANAGE THEIR RESOURCES AND REMIT A CERTAIN PERCENT OF THEIR IGR TO THE FG...

LETS SAY THE TRUTH ALWAYS.



IF YOU GET YOU BIAFRA TODAY, IS ROCHAS NOT GOING TO BE A BIAFRAN?

IS CHRIS NGIGE NOT A BIAFRAN?

IS OBIANO NOT A BIAFRAN?

THE ONLY THING YOU WILL DO, IS GRANT THEM A STATE PARDON BUT THEIR TRUE PERSONALITIES ARE STILL INBORN.

FOR ME, THE CASE OF BIAFRA IS THE CASE OF PDP MEMBERS DECAMPING TO THE APC AND HIDING UNDER THE CHANGE MANTRA TO DECEIVE NIGERIANS.

Comparing Criminals with great people like Mandela

Is madness at its peak

What KANU is demanding is not a crime, everyone have the right to self determination. The only set of humans that will be against it are the parasite who feed and survived from others.

You were making sence until this last paragraph.

Devoid of sentiments you'll agree with me that the term Biafra signify..freedom from oppression, British subliminal rule,marginalisation and so on.

So equating the struggle to a Nigerian party and there affiliates is a misnormal.
