Biafra is an identity, no amount of force and intimidation can kill it. Actions like this will only fuel the spirit behind it.

That was why when your fellow Men in the Biafran military were fighting you Terrorists in the front lines, You Coward Nigerians were busy starving women and Children.

If they ask the two sides to show their legacy in the Biafran war,
Biafrans will show pictures of their bravery in front lines while Coward Nigeria show pictures of starved Biafran women and Children.
you talk like a leader or a die hard fan of Biafra.

There's rules of engagement in war. Starving or killing women and Children amounts to war crime. There are some weapons you can't also use in war. So everything is not fair in war.
So, you expect Nigeria to be feeding you even when they're in war with you. That's not done anywhere. Even the almighty USA have employed that tactics several times through sanctions

There's no point in this argument. I only had to respond to that statement. Secondly, whoever that is supporting the injustice the Easterners are experiencing at this point is worse than Bokoharam and Fulani bandits.

And remember injustice doesn't stop it will look for more victims. Las las e go reach everyone doorstep
Re: Soldiers Attempt To Arrest Woman Wearing Biafra Outfit (Video, Photos) by Nobody: 5:08pm On Oct 09, 2021
The harassment and arrest of celebrated Nollywood actor, Mr. Chiwetalu Agu, on Thursday, 7th October, 2021 by the Nigerian Army is illegal, unconscionable and unwarranted. The actor has not committed any criminal offence known to law. The Nigerian Army should stop ridiculing itself before the international community.

Supposing without conceding that the dressing of the legendary actor amounts to "incitement" as claimed by the Army, it is the Nigeria Police Force that should have responded. There is no evidence of incitement against him. Nothing was inscribed on the said cloth to incite the public.

Is the Army suggesting that wearing clothes with certain colours or identifying with certain colours amounts to inciting people to violence or that any colour identical to the Biafran flag is inciting?. That will be a dangerous proposition. If they are convinced about such whimsical argument, the government should test it in a competent court of law. The allegation that he is recruiting for or supporting IPOB is unsupported by evidence. It is a way of calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it. Discerning Nigerians can see through the smoke screen.

The military has no power in a constitutional democracy to arrest citizens; except in very special and exceptional circumstances like during war, state of emergency, insurrection or riot. Even at that, it has to be shown that the Police has been overwhelmed. That is the purport of Section 217 of the 1999 Constitution which limits the role of the Armed Forces to defending the territorial integrity of Nigeria and acting in aid of civil authorities. Is Nigeria at war?

What did Chiwetalu Agu do that overwhelmed the Nigeria Police Force to warrant the Army stepping in to aid the police in arresting him?

We have become so used to lawlessness, impunity and flagrant disregard for the fundamental rights of citizens that we now condone whatever nonsense is thrown at us by the authorities.

Wearing a cloth with colours similar to the Biafran flag is not defined as an offence under any written law in this country. It is IPOB that was proscribed, not Biafra.

A significant portion of the Nigerian population still sees Biafra as an idea. No government can kill an idea that people are emotionally attached to by deploying the military. History has shown that the best way to defeat an idea is by propagating a superior and more persuasive idea. In the last six years, the Buhari regime has been propagating the idea that the best way to govern a diverse country like Nigeria is by pursuing a vindictive policy of exclusion, religious bias and ethnic supremacy which has further polarized the citizens and isolated different parts of this country.

By promoting nepotism and ethnic irredentism, Buhari is not qualified to propagate a Pro-Nigeria ideology that can counter the renewed agitations by a section of the South East for Biafra. Rather than heal old wounds, Buhari is ferociously opening new ones. Yet, he continues to parrot the fallacy that the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable.

While I wholeheartedly condemn the wanton killings in the South East and the ensuing violence, there should be no tolerance for high-handedness and blatant disregard for the rights of the citizens. Rules of Engagement must be strictly followed.

By the combined effect of Section 36 (cool and (12) of the 1999 Constitution, an act or conduct is only a crime if it is so defined in a written law which must also prescribe the punishment for the offence. The Supreme Court had resolved this matter long ago in the celebrated case of AOKO V. FAGBEMI (1961) 1 NLR 400 and more recently in the case of GEORGE V. FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA [2014] ALL FWLR (pt. 718) 879.

The very idea of telling citizens what colour of cloth to wear is not only ludicrous but offensive. We are not in Communist China or North Korea.

It is a sad commentary that the Buhari regime is working day and night to turn Nigeria into a police state.

If the military authority has a movie role for Chiwetalu Agu, they should approach him with respect with their offer and desist from making a mockery of the security situation in the South East. The attack on Chiwetalu Agu is a painful reminder that the Buhari regime is ruling Nigeria with the mindset of the civil war.

Under this regime, peaceful young Nigerians were shot and killed by the same Nigerian Army while raising the Nigerian flag and singing the national anthem at the Lekki Toll Gate. Till date, no single soldier has been court-martialed for that abominable desecration of what is supposed to be sacred national symbols. Yet, the same Army arrested Chiwetalu Agu for wearing a cloth identical to the Biafran flag.

In other words, under the draconian Buhari regime, both 'Biafran colours' and Nigerian colours are symbols of "incitement" with severe punishment that includes death. That is not how to build and unify a nation.

The Army should apologize to the iconic actor and pay him adequate compensation for subjecting him to harassment and public humiliation.

I don't know why southeasterners are slacking. People should be on the streets now in their Biafra colours. Damn! What kind of people are we in this Nigeria? How can people not take advantage of this opportunity. The moment Mr Chiwetalu Agu was arrested on the flimsy reason that he was dressed in Biafra colours, I was expecting that the next day or two, people will hit the streets in their Biafra regalia. This approach is more civil than trying to force a stay at home order. Let the enemies know that "this is Biafraland".

Nothing good comes so easily, change occurs when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of what makes you want to change.
Tyrant buhari will not rule Nigeria forever.
