Nnamdi Kanu - A Hero of Our Time:

It is common these days to hear people ask what Nnamdi Kanu really wants! This question is the highest of hypocrisy. Nnamdi from the very onset, even through his Radio Biafra, has always spoken in favour of Self Determination for a sovereign state of Biafra. Among the reasons for this agitation is systemic exclusion from the main stream governance in Nigeria which any sincere person cannot deny. How smart can you be to tell a blind man there is no meat in a shared pot of soup!

The middle ground is to restructure the country for more effective governance and wide spread development. The North once again, through an imposed 1999 Constitution that granted them majority seats in the Assembly blocked the move.

The increase in agitations compelled the '97 Vs 5' percent President to direct everyone back to the National Assembly where according to him, all National Discourse must be done. How wrong can he be and how too far from the truth!

A referendum is not done in a house of the Assembly. It is conducted by the population and the House will only ratify the result. We can cite the example of Brexit where the Court mandated the British Parliament to validate the Will of the British citizens. The Parliament, of course, has a moral and legal duty not to overrule the Will of the people.

Let me be the first to call Nnamdi Kanu a Hero! He has dared the evil status quo in Nigeria, a situation that has cowed everyone into submitting to the whims and caprices of a section of the Nigerian population and a cabal. He has forced the military tanks out of their Base to suppress what can no longer be sustained. He has forced the APC government to timidly accept that restructuring is inevitable.

We live in the same country but share both similar and different values. We cannot force our values down the throats of a different tribe or force them to develop at a conditioned pace! Nnamdi Kalu like him or hate him has forced everyone to a negotiating table. May God bless him for his sacrifices. (visit chijiokeworld on facebook; www.chijiokereginald.com)

Wasted!

Pure OPONU!

You can as well WAKAPASS for meaningful replies

As human, he is Judas. In actions, he is a Mosquito. I just wonder why Buhari regards Kanu so much to mount Python Dance against him!

He is a Villain.

He who laughs last laughs best. Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid! Stand firm, and you will see what God will do to rescue you today: the Egyptians you see today you will never see again. (Exodus 14:13.) God will do the fighting for the people because they are believers!
