7 Misconceptions Some Nigerians Have About Nnamdi Kanu by gidgiddy: 6:44pm On Apr 07, 2018
1. That Nnamdi Kanu has no right to agitate for Biafra: Under article 1 of the UN charter and article 20(1) of the African charter on people and human rights, any group of people can agitate for self determination. Nigeria is a signatory to both laws


2. That Kanu is leading a secessionist organization:- This cannot possibly be true since secession is the unilateral enforcement of independence from an existing country by a group of people. Kanu has not declared or enforced the independence of Biafra from Nigeria, so therefore, neither he nor IPOB are secessionists. Kanu actually wants a referendum rather than secession.


3. That Kanu solicited arms to fight Nigeria:- Again, this not true. The video of Kanu soliciting for arms at the 2015 world Igbo congress in America is still on youtube. At no time did Kanu say anything about using the guns to fight Nigeria in that video. Soliciting guns is not a crime in Nigeria, infact, the firearms act of Nigeria allows Nigerian adults to hold certain types of guns, such as pump action rifles, under license. What is a crime is to hold guns without license or to use guns to commit crime.


4. That Kanu committed a crime by saying that election won't hold in Anamabra:- There is no crime called the the "offence of saying that election won't hold". Anyone is free to say what they like. What is a crime is trying to disrupt election. Besides, Kanu never said anything about disrupting elections. What he talked about was election boycott which is legal

5. That Kanu wants war:- Kanu has said it many times that he wants a referendum conducted in what used to be the Eastern Region, in addition to present day Delta state, to determin those who want independence and and those want to carry on with Nigeria. Referendum does not mean war.


6. That Kanu is a coward that ran away:- While nobody knows for sure what happend to Kanu after the military invasion of his home, it would be wrong to assume that if he escaped, this was cowardice. What kind of person will hand themselves over to their enemy on a platter of gold to be saughtered? Only a very stupid person would do that. In a situation where you have been overwhelmed by your enemies, the smart thing to do is to tactically withdraw and return at an opprtune time to continue the struggle.


7. That Kanu and IPOB are terrorists:- The terrorism act of Nigeria has such a broad definition of what a terrorist is that everyone in Nigeria is guilty of it. Just raising your voice to someone in anger is terrorism since it can be construed to mean intimidation. So why is it that the Nigerian government says IPOB is a terrorist group but America says they are not? This is because IPOB does not fit the international definition of a terrorist organisation. All terrorist organisations have one thing in common, they all have a history of using violence to achieve their aim, and violence must be an action, not spoken words alone. So the question is, has IPOB used violence to try to achieve Biafra? On the contrary. Besides the fallout from clashes with the authorities, IPOB has no history of engaging in violence and therefore cannot be a terrorist group.

Gidgiddy, why can't you read the handwriting on the wall and forget about Nnamdi Kanu?
He's a British citizen who got missing on Nigerian soil and the British parliament hasn't recalled its High Commissioner to Nigeria back to Britain nor has it invited Nigeria's High Commissioner to its floor in London to explain the whereabout of her citizen.

You mean the same Nigerian Army that cannot deal with those with arms and killing people such as Herdsmen, Boko Haram and Niger Delta Militants?

The Nigerian Army that is only good at fighting defenceless civilians without guns such as IPOB?

gidgiddy point number 6
don't mind those people who shouts that kanu is a coward. let me list many freedom fighters who ran away or hid for some time.
1 moses in the bible he ran from pharoah
2 david hid from saul
3 abraham lied twice to save his life
4 elijah ran from ahab
5 jesus hid from the crowd when they wanted to stone him and when they wanted to make him king by force
6 paul the apostle hid and escaped in a basket
7 all the APOSTLES hid when thier life was in danger

...... fast forward
8 mohammed (*heet be upon him) ran from to medina when his life was at stake
9 martin luther king
10 mahatma ghandi
11 nnamdi azikiwe awolowo etc
12 mandela
13 and all famous freedom fighters at some point ran for dear life today we celebrate them
even shekaw and all terrorist who muslims believe are fighting for them are in hiding. for fear of thier lives. so why should kanu case be different? only a three will hear that it is to be killed (cut down) and still remains at the same spot

Only that the freedom is elusive. When you loose in a war and become slaves, you have no right to seek for freedom. Slaves have no right. That's why the army summarily tried to execute him but he was lucky to escape to Ghana where he is eating pizza.
