The courts are not under anyone's control and bail is the sole discretion of the courts. Not even Buhari can order the courts to grant a person bail. Saying that someone or some people influenced Justice Nyako to release Kanu is an insult to the court.


This is just backward African mentality. It is not possible for an unarmed group to threaten the sovereignty of a country. Only an armed group can do that because only an armed organisation can fight a war. Sticks, stones and matchets are are not what people use in fighting a war. But there is another question that is to be asked. How come nobody ever saw IPOB with any stick or stone before operation Python dance? If nobody ever saw IPOB with any sort of arms, why was the Army drafted to go to a place where no violence or armed struggle existed? We have armed groups in the NW, SS and middle belt that are killing people daily, why was the military sent to the SE where no armed group existed, nobody was being killed or properties being destroyed? The reality is that the military went to a peaceful place to cause trouble and kill people and the people reacted by laying their hands on what they could find to defend themselves. The military should only go to a place where there is already trouble, not go to a place and trouble starts. This was all about using military force to stifle voices of dissent and such a thing is not permitted in a democracy.


To this day, none of the security agencies has come out to say that IPOB has guns. The so called guns seized at the ports is not even an issue because such has been happening even before there was IPOB. To say that the guns seized were for IPOB is just mere speculation. Funnily enough, the guns that were seized were even pump action rifles which any Nigerian adult can apply to the police to hold under license.

As I said before, operation Python dance was just all about silencing voices of dissent with military force in a democracy. It was state sponsored terrorism


Good to hear from you that no influenced Justice Nyarko's decision to release Kanu on bail. Very good. But I'm also aware how IPOB were all over the place with propaganda on how the same Nyako is Hausa/Fulani & PMB's relative; hence, would be bias. So all their noise and accusations about how PMB controls the judiciary is all sham? It's alright. But I'm convinced that such high profile cases do have some input from the government through the attorney general. Food for thought!

"it's not possible for an unarmed group to threaten the sovereignty of a country": Are you for real? So your belief is that threats to sovereignty can only be from armed agitations/confrontations? Please note that war is a product of sustained threat to sovereignty & resistance to constituted authority. It's not usually the "beginning of threats" but the "result" of sustained threats. Secession threats and threats posed by internal fights & killings which is greater? That IPOB was beaten in their game doesn't mean they were not armed or never intended to be armed. Excerpts from Kanu's rants both on radio Biafra & other media outlets/outings clearly depicted a group in serious preparations for armed struggle. The military acted proactively & doesn't owe you or anyone else any apologies.

When IPOB attacked military patrol with all manner of weapons (stones, matches etc) & injuring some soldiers in the process, where were you? When Kanu was openly soliciting for arms at world Igbo congress celebrations, where were you? When Kanu threatened to behead a sitting president & commander in chief of the armed forces, where were you? In all these, especially on the threat to behead the President, you expect the military to sit back and watch until the threat is carried out before taking action, akwaya? Maybe, the military could have as well prepared delicious indomie noodles garnished with lots of "menemene" for them. Unlike the empty rants, chest beatings & nuisance from IPOB, expecting the military to come out with all they know about IPOB is clear ignorance of strategy. They will only tell you what they feel you should hear. All other information is classified.

Is IPOB asking for regional autonomy or total breakaway from Nigeria to have a sovereign state of Biafra? Yes, Biafra or SE or SS or whatever they may chose to call themselves can be granted some level of autonomy within Nigeria. However, such autonomy must not undermine the sovereignty of Nigeria at large.

As for ports, I know Onne Port is up & running. Is it FGN that will chose port of discharge/destination for importers? Has any importer told you he can't bring in goods through any of the about three ports in Rivers State?

3 ports in Rivers State? comedian.

1 seaport at Onne for oil vessels and the Navy.

freeze Biafra issue for now. if there is a commercial port anywhere in the East, call it anything you opine, CORE region (Calabar Ogoja Rivers East), SE, Anioma, Ikwerre, SS, Niger Delta, Ubani, Bonny, Opobo, Igweocha, PH

plus consulates, many Igbos will not come to Lagos at all.

why is APC or SW party trying to win Akwa Ibom? to stop Ibaka port

I know you are part of those propaganda machines who believes every misfortune of the Biafran region must be from FGN & Hausa/Fulani oligarchy. Whose fault is it that you're ignorant of the existence of other sea ports like the Rivers Sea Port complex in Rivers State beside Onne port? The rivers sea port complex is splitted into BUA & NBA sea port terminals respectively. Surely you don't also know that Onne port complex has the OIL & GAS FREE ZONE controlled by Oil & Gas Free Zone Authority (OGFZA) with Intel & other areas under BRAWAL, WACT etc. Add all these up & you will comprehend why I said there are "about" three sea ports in Rivers State alone! These ports are functional.Google is your friend!

Before you continue in your blame games, please note that the choice of Port of destination is entirely at the prerogative of the importer. If Biafrans want their goods to be cleared outside Lagos, what they need to do is simply indicate port of destination of their choice especially the ones in "Biafra land - Onne/PHC/Warri". You can't quote TIN CAN or APAPA ports & expect to clear at Onne. Do you know that the customs duty tariff is the same for all ports & that customs officers are like security & revenue collecting agency for government? Where you decide to clear your goods is of no major concern to them. What they are after is the attendant customs duties therein.

Importantly, please note that part of what affected & is still affecting patronage of these ports in "Biafra land" especially in Rivers & Delta states is insecurity. Before the advent of militancy, piracy & kidnapping, most of these oil companies were domiciled at these areas but were forced to relocate due to insecurity. Even Julius Berger had to move at some point. More so, most shipping lines also started selecting cargo with security concerns at the back of their minds. Naturally, attention shifted further to an already congested Lagos state. You can't eat your cake and have it. Our brothers made fortunes from these crimes at the detriment of the overall economic benefit of the region & here you are blaming FGN.

I strongly applaud the present Buhari led FGN for the various reforms currently going on at these ports. Intels monopoly of Oil & Gas Free Zone has been effectively put under proper perspective & control. Now the new idea of decongesting Lagos ports. If sustained, slowly but surely we shall get there.

As for Ibaka port, who gave the approval in the first place? When will you guys stop propaganda? Pathetic!

Buhari proscription of IPOB is an act of stupidity.

How can you call IPOB a terrorist group since they don't have MUDslimes in their midst ?

Or is it that Buhari was quick to call IPOB terrorist maybe because he's an Izlamiccc terrorist who wants everybody to go down with him ?
But unfortunately for him, the world disagreed with him. That will tell you how low Buhari has sunk in disgracing the country he heads..

Igbos will keep pushing until demands are met not matter the obstacles. After all, those that are enjoying the dividends of the struggle they faced in the past in different countries and continents faced the unimaginable.

All you are saying is just based on predictions, sentiments and speculation and not based on facts. The law deals on facts, not sentiments. This talk about threat to sovereignty, threatening secession and resistance to constituted authority is all nonsense. In other for any organisation to be in a position to threaten secession, let alone carry it out, the organisation has to armed. Secession means that you take over an area and declare it separate from the country and under your control. Only an armed organisation can do that, it's not something you do with words, sticks or stones. Boko Haram would not have been able to take over parts of the North East if they didn't have sophisticated weapons, Herdsmen would not have been able to drive people put of their land if they did not have AK47. To threaten a countries sovereignty to to threaten secession, the group must be armed

To this day, nobody has come out to say IPOB was armed with guns. In a country where the authorities love displaying recovered arms, if IPOB had been armed, they authorities would have said so.

When Kanu was soliciting money for guns, he did not break the law. Asking for money to buy guns is not a crime, even the firearms act of Nigeria allows any Nigerian adult to own certain types of guns. All you have to do is apply to the police for a licence to hold a gun. What is a crime is to illegaly hold guns or to use them to commit crime. What a person solicited for is no legal issue. If anyone then goes on to believe that Kanu was looking for guns to fight Nigeria then that is sentiments and not facts, the law is based on facts.

When Kanu said he was going to get the head of the president, he spoke in Igbo and it was an idiomatic expression meaning he was going to defeat Buhari in court. Every Igbo who watched the video knows that. But even if he said he was going to behead the President, how does an unarmed man do this? Is Kanu and and unarmed IPOB going to knock on the gates of Aso Rock and ask Buhari to hand over his head? Where is threat there? So people cannot talk any more?

IPOB has been agitating since 2015, nobody has seen them with arms of any sort, they did not kill anybody and they have not gone about destroying properties. Most of their rallies have been peaceful and non violent. So why was the Army then sent after an unarmed peaceful group in a country where we have several armed groups running around killing people?

Only a complete fool will believe that unarmed IPOB saw a troop of soldiers armed to the teeth with guns and Tanks and IPOB decided to block their way and attack them with sticks and stones without any provocation. This is one of the craziest stories I have heard. IPOB that was not known to be violent suddenly decided to be violent on seeing armed Soldiers? Or is it more

Nigeria is a funny place. Other countries send in the Army to a violent situation to bring about peace but Nigeria sends in the Army to a peaceful place to bring about violence. Other countries send in the Army to face armed groups, in Nigeria they send the Army to face unarmed people.

To this day, most of the accusations against Kanu is all about what the man said or didn't say, and not because he actually did anything.


No wonder America and the EU came out to say IPOB is not a terrorist organisation, they were not prepared to be part of that lie painted by the Nigerian authorities.

lol go learn history old man

the Eko ( Lagos) was created by the prince of Benin who then ruled over Eko
the Benin ruled Eko for centuries until it was colonized by the British and b4 the Portuguese had discovered it and named Eko Lagos .
then when Nigeria was formed Lagos was it's capital which made it the centre of development and after the civil war a lot of Igbo migrated to the Lagos ( which at that time was the capital of Nigeria and the capital of a country by definition is no man's land)

so now we have a relatively developed society

More cargo means more revenue which in turn reflects development. Let the Igbos route their cargo through Onne & see if the port won't develope beyond bounds. If you think SW through NPA is shortchanging you, then play the right politics to be able to influence policies. You can't eat your cake and have it. As at 2015, the SE voted out of sentiments based on their resentment of the Hausa/Fulani. Unfortunately for them, 2019 leaves only the Hausa/Fulani option for them. Just wondering who they will vote this time Oris Hausa/Fulani no longer the "evil" albatross to their development? In fact, IPOB is even threatening to boycott the elections after which they will still come back crying of marginalization!

I really would like to know what's really ur problem with Biafra ?

Kanu is not just a coward but a con man! Anybody can make anybody talk. Even madman on the streets can evoke emotions & reactions based on his actions. Nothing special.

All you are saying is just based on predictions, sentiments and speculation and not based on facts. The law deals on facts, not sentiments. This talk about threat to sovereignty, threatening secession and resistance to constituted authority is all nonsense. In other for any organisation to be in a position to threaten secession, let alone carry it out, the organisation has to armed. Secession means that you take over an area and declare it separate from the country and under your control. Only an armed organisation can do that, it's not something you do with words, sticks or stones. Boko Haram would not have been able to take over parts of the North East if they didn't have sophisticated weapons, Herdsmen would not have been able to drive people put of their land if they did not have AK47. To threaten a countries sovereignty to to threaten secession, the group must be armed

To this day, nobody has come out to say IPOB was armed with guns. In a country where the authorities love displaying recovered arms, if IPOB had been armed, they authorities would have said so.

When Kanu was soliciting money for guns, he did not break the law. Asking for money to buy guns is not a crime, even the firearms act of Nigeria allows any Nigerian adult to own certain types of guns. All you have to do is apply to the police for a licence to hold a gun. What is a crime is to illegaly hold guns or to use them to commit crime. What a person solicited for is no legal issue. If anyone then goes on to believe that Kanu was looking for guns to fight Nigeria then that is sentiments and not facts, the law is based on facts.

When Kanu said he was going to get the head of the president, he spoke in Igbo and it was an idiomatic expression meaning he was going to defeat Buhari in court. Every Igbo who watched the video knows that. But even if he said he was going to behead the President, how does an unarmed man do this? Is Kanu and and unarmed IPOB going to knock on the gates of Aso Rock and ask Buhari to hand over his head? Where is threat there? So people cannot talk any more?

IPOB has been agitating since 2015, nobody has seen them with arms of any sort, they did not kill anybody and they have not gone about destroying properties. Most of their rallies have been peaceful and non violent. So why was the Army then sent after an unarmed peaceful group in a country where we have several armed groups running around killing people?

Only a complete fool will believe that unarmed IPOB saw a troop of soldiers armed to the teeth with guns and Tanks and IPOB decided to block their way and attack them with sticks and stones without any provocation. This is one of the craziest stories I have heard. IPOB that was not known to be violent suddenly decided to be violent on seeing armed Soldiers? Or is it more

Nigeria is a funny place. Other countries send in the Army to a violent situation to bring about peace but Nigeria sends in the Army to a peaceful place to bring about violence. Other countries send in the Army to face armed groups, in Nigeria they send the Army to face unarmed people.

To this day, most of the accusations against Kanu is all about what the man said or didn't say, and not because he actually did anything.


No wonder America and the EU came out to say IPOB is not a terrorist organisation, they were not prepared to be part of that lie painted by the Nigerian authorities.


What fact are you talking about? If you call all these predictions, sentiments & speculations, then what becomes of intelligence reports? If you can't do the time, then don't do the crime. If you're not equipped for secession, then don't incite others into same. When you declare part of a sovereign state yours with total disregard to its constituted authorities & without recourse to the attendant consequences, whose fault is it?

So Kanu's speech about beheading PMB is an idiomatic expression? No wonder he got an "idiomatic" reaction! If you still deny that IPOB never attacked the military convoy on python dance "show force" injuring a soldier, then you're living in denial. You need to see how IPOB miscreants harass & intimidate people with divergent opinion from theirs. Can't even remember how many times I've been attacked for holding contrary opinion on IPOB & her operations.

The problem is that you are downplaying the efficacy & potency of spoken words/propaganda! How did the Rwandan war start? What do suicide bombers hear that convinces them to blow themselves up?

Tell me any army in the whole wild world that will sit back and wait for "armed attacks" after getting clue from rants of the enemy?
