I meant peaceful protest. Not violent protests or agitation. In this administration, a priest embarked on a solo protest, a man climbed a mast around the villa area in Abuja in protest, another one embarked on hunger strike, some groups have also protested without molestation. Yes pockets of incidents reportedly involving police have been reported. I’m most cases, the moves were aimed at preventing breakdown of law and order.

The actor is a renowned personality with huge fan base. Several channels are available to him to ventilate his grievances, not identifying with a blacklisted terror group that has become notorious for killing and stealing

the man that climbed the mast at Abuja was protesting because of how bad the economy was becoming, he couldn't feed his family any longer talk less of himself, he got frustrated and ended up jumping from the mast and die, yet is the economy better today or worst? U don't know the country you are in. We are led by people whose only aim is to gather as much as they can consequences be damned. That kind of mindset can only be corrected by force and fatalities. Ghana under Rawlings understood that: today the country is better than Nigeria.

I disagree with the OP fundamentally.

It is the group called IPOB that was proscribed by the federal government and NOT Biafra.

The Federal government can not proscribe an entity that doesn't exist yet.

So, if the man put on a Biafran flag, it is left to the government to prove that his choice of apparel is illegal. I can assure you the FG will fail woefully.

It seized to exist, because Biafra was proscribed in 1970 by The Federal Military Government of Nigeria under Colonel Yakubu Gowon, even the Nigerian Map had to be changed from Bight of Biafra to Bight of Bonny, to reflect the proscription, know your history.

Your lecture is not needed Mr. You're the one with the comprehension problem.

How does what you typed negate what I posted?

Next time, read to comprehend and not to argue blindly.

Op
Sorry to disagree with you. For your information, Ipob was proscribed not Biafra.
There are many groups argitating for Biafra but only one was proscribed and the Biafran flag does not belong to Ipob.


Meanwhile the proscription of ipob has never been recognised by the relevant legal authority inside and outside Nigeria.

Its only the malami squad and their paymaster that are rattling about proscription,which they are even afraid of defending in court.

For your information you may not know what blow the illiterate Nigeria millitery received in the eyes of the international community because of that their action

hedonido:


You don't expect these abokki animals to have sense. Imagine the idiot citing a court judgment proscribing IPOB as the 'evidence' of Chiwetalu Agu's guilt!!! Ask the fool how Agu's attire or actions in any way relate to IPOB and you will hear the silly thing mumble some nonsense with fierce fanaticism.

You are a wise man. You've said it all

On 7th October, 2021, a renowned Nollywood Actor, Chiwetalu Agwu was apprehended in Anambra state by the Military, adorned in IPOB/Biafra regalia. According to the Military, the Iconic figure in the entertainment industry was allegedly arrested after he was caught soliciting support for one proscribed group identified as IPOB, as well as inciting the public against the authority. It is noteworthy that the arrest is coming few days after the Military commenced an operation tagged “Golden Dawn” in the South East, following incessant attacks and killings of security operatives and innocent residents in the region. Apart from killing of operatives, cases of armed robbery, car snatching, attacks on POS operators, raiding of markets, setting up of illegal road blocks as well as extortion of motorists have been reported.

The question now is, did the nollywood actor commit any crime to warrant arrest? YES. In September, 2017, a federal high court proscribed IPOB and declared it a terrorist organization. The declaration followed an application by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice. The following year, IPOB appealed the declaration/judgement. Fortunately or unfortunately, the appeal was not upheld. Rather the court affirmed its earlier declaration. Consequently, in the face of law, IPOB remains a terrorist group.

Some of the characteristics of terrorist organizations include coercion, targeted assassination, kidnapping, violent confrontation with government forces, violent agitation for secession, armed robbery, using instrumentality of fear to subjugate people and so on. A common test suggests that IPOB has met all these conditions. The group has killed hundreds of security operatives, established an army to confront the government, robbed innocent citizen, burnt government institutions and threatened to sustain killings.

Should public figures or opinion molders identify with such group? The choice is theirs. However, one thing is clear; the group is an enemy of the state. Its supporters, sponsors, sympathizers are also terrorists.

Section 1 of the 2013 Terrorism Prevention Act as Amended criminalizes persons that incite, promise or induce any other persons by any means whatsoever to commit any act of terrorism…The Act also criminalizes persons who omit to do anything that is reasonably necessary to prevent an act of terrorism. It also frowns at those that assist or facilitate the activities of persons engaged in the act of terrorism, and so on.

Suffice to say that Anambra is currently the epicenter of IPOB activities. In few days, several operatives have been killed. The terror elements have also vowed to frustrate the conduct of the forthcoming gubernatorial poll. It is enforcing the illegal sit-at-home order. Yet, this is the time that AGWU elected to be adorned in IPOB/Biafra uniform. More renowned actors like KANAYO, PETE EDOCHIE, ZUBBY, NKEM OWOH, RITA and PATIENCE among others are still shooting movies in the South East and selling same in Onitsha without let or hindrance. They are not less Igbos neither are they more Nigerian. They understand the times and laws.

AGWU by his action, tacitly demonstrated support for the killings of security operatives, destruction of government properties, burning of Nigerian flags, non-conduct of the governorship election in the state, illegal sit-at-home order, killing of Akunyili’s husband, ongoing armed robbery and targeted killings of innocent Igbos. In plain terms, he supports terrorism. He may have been released, but the lessons cannot be forgotten. Influential persons in the society should learn to use their positions to better the society by clamoring for good governance not supporting terror.

Useless article from a useless person.

I humbly disagree, E be like say e pain you well well?

Pain me kwa. Nothing like that. You are always on the side of evil

Idokojimmy:


Let me educate u a little. Operation Tail-Wind, which commenced on January 7 and ended on January 12, 1970 was the final military conflict between Nigeria and Biafra. The operation ended with General Odumegwu Ojukwu fleeing to the Ivory Coast and then president of Biafra Philip Effiong surrendering to Olusegun Obasanjo. That move ended Biafra. The Biafran flag died with it as well.

If a proscribed group, decides that the abandoned flag could be readopted, it simply means they have owned it. And anyone parading it apparently presents himself as a member, supporter, sponsor or a sympathizer. It’s criminal. The law remains applicable until amended. A judgement remains valid until set aside. The Nollywood actor was lucky, don’t try ur luck, u might not be lucky.

The security operatives being killed by IPOB have children, wards, parents, associates, dreams and other responsibilities. Apart from operatives, innocent Igbo’s are also being killed in the name of sit at home. Pray ur relation doesn’t fall.

Is God that will punish you and forever he would. So the Innocent igbos that were killed by your police and Army do.not have fathers mothers children?..... You're a fool at 40..

Idokojimmy:


Ur contribution is thought provoking. Truth is we have a lot to improve on. And the government needs to do more to give the federating units a sense of belonging. It’s also needs to do more in terms of social, political and economic justice.

However, the Actor doesn’t need to identify with a terror group to ventilate his grievances. He doesn’t need to share bread adorned in IPOB uniform to make his point.

Actors could pass their messages via movies, or their social media handles. He could organize a press conference. He could lead a peaceful protest. He could organize townhall meetings.

Let me think aloud. Imagine him sharing bread in Onitsha and telling the purported beneficiaries of his magnanimity in Igbo language to join IPOB, stay at home, don’t vote during elections, pick up arms? Just imagine what that could cause.

Those soldiers that did the arresting will endup will Boko Haram.. Cowards soldiers, when they see Boko now they will run lik there is no tomorrow

Bandits are the real criteria to declare a group terrorist organization. What is holding the government from declaring them terrorist.

This is a rubbish biased write up.In wat way did he incite d public?was he caught tunneling cash to ipob?or was he caught in an ipob hideout?Also,in wat way is that colours an ipob one Doesnt arewa hav their crest in various government institutions in d north without harrassment n intimidation.Truth is Agu has gotten my respect even though am not an igbo guy.He jst showed solidarity wit his people.The Igbos are seriously under siege frm buhari n his terrorist administration.How da heck is biafran flag an offence that warrants manhandling.If this can be done to someone as prominent as him,wat hope do ordinary people like us hav ?Can we even protest right now against any government structure without being accused of sponsoring osama Bin laden...wit zero evidence to back d claim.
Its jst so painful that the judiciary that should interpret laws has been hijacked hence no hope for common man.....
In my current disunited country, Malami has completely taken over responsibility of d judiciary unopposed.

Nope...God will judge those useless soldiers that went and shot innocent Endsars prostesters...those soldiers that have killed innocent people.. they will never escape the guns of Boko Haram... Innocents blood shall cry out to God against them.. innocent biafrans killed between 2017-2020 by police and soldiers too . The soldiers shall been given more brutal death by Boko Haram than what they gave the innocent Endsars and biafran youths... Obigbo youths..

I can never be patrotic to a nation such as NIGERIA... A nation that is an abomination unto God... tofiakwa.
A nation that killed it's youths just for protesting?... tofiakwa.
I can never wish well to the arm forces that kills the people they are meant to protect ...people that protest so.they can be given better pay and better equipments.. may God continue to punish them and all of them that kills the Innocents may they never survive Boko Haram...only the innocent soldiers and police men will survive this curse cause they're not guilty
It shall never be well with lugard and may hell fire continue to burn him wherever he is ... Amen

Sir, there’s nothing like Biafra. It died after the civil war. Attempts by IPOB to resuscitate it has been criminalized. Until a higher court rules otherwise, IPOB remains a terrorist group.

So any insignia associated with the group suggest membership, tacit support or sympathy. These too are criminal.
