I think his main point is dt non-igbos will not speak out and defend chinwetalus predicament because igbos are known to fight and insult people dt would have spoken up to support them.

He only compared to say dt the govt is hypocritical in the way it treated chinwetalu versus how it treated Boko Haram defectors, and dt more pple would've spoken up against it, if not for the igbos character.

Thanks i didn't understand the post at all, Reno is such a double minded character that his posts now require interpreters

To unite who? So your problem is not the bigotry and nepotism going on but simply the fact that Reno is pointing it out

Nobody wants to unite with terrorists.

Commentor:
Reno has never said anything to unite.

Ok .... Noted.

BafanaBafana:
Why is it that the only arguement they have is to start making irrational comparisons?

what he said,is it not the truth,yes or no?

This is true, to an Igbo man the Niger Delta people are your enemies, same as the yorubas etc... So who is your friend

For the first time an Igboman spoke my mind
*BIAFRA - Perfect illustration. By Chief Patrick Chidolue.*

*We kill our selves to protest what others are doing against us. In 1967 good Igbo leaders begged Ojukwu not to declare Biafra, to avoid war, he declared Biafra and we lost 3 million people and all our wealth, including our leadership position in Nigeria. Our youths, our girls, our culture and heritage. All were lost because of that war, which started as a result of declaration of Biafra.*

*Ojukwu went into exile. Igbos were defeated, humiliated and made second class citizens. Their properties seized as abandoned. All their money were seized and their children abused and brutalized.*
*In humiliation and humility they started with nothing and from no where to rebuild themselves.*

*Ojukwu was told that all these may happen if he declares Biafra. His father specifically begged him to wait at least let us find a strong country that can support us before he can declare, if he must. He called all the advisers saboteurs and claimed that his father was selling out because of his wealth that was scattered all over Nigeria.*

*Three years after, by 1970 all was lost. Three million well trained and our best all wasted.*

*By 1983 when Ojukwu came back from exile he declared that Biafra was no longer fashionable. He joined a national political party and contested for an elective office in Nigeria. At this time all have been lost. Igbos have lost power, properties, political leadership, values, good men and respect. Yet we hail Ojukwu as our hero.*

*Compare it to now. We have managed somehow to rebuild part of what we lost in the Biafra war.*

*Now a new agitation for Biafra was started again by MASSOB, which is now followed by IPOB. By creating insecurity in igbo land alone, every developed human person in that zone will be on the run. Education will suffer set back as well as every other thing.*

*We are crucifying our selves to shame our oppressors. Like in 1967 they have started calling Igbo leaders saboteurs again. Unfortunately we don’t have the likes of Zik any more to plead our case within the international comnunity, to beg Nigeria to allow relief food in order to reduce 28000 dying children per day. We don’t have Zik to come and negotiate our surrender in order to have no victor no vanquished. Our opponents are already regretting that, they should have taken the remnant of Biafra as slaves and war booty.*

*The questions are.*

1. Why must we fight a losing battle to lose everything?
2. What do we want to achieve in Biafra that we can’t achieve in Nigeria politically?
3. Who will lead Biafra when we eventually get it and where will he come from?
4. How do one convince an Anambra man and Enugu man to let Ebonyi man lead him?
5. Where can we get the leaders from? The stock of existing Governors or manufactured by IPOB?
6. What will constitute the mean economic drive for our development within Biafra? Etc.

*Federalism as we have it today in Nigeria, makes every state a country. A quasi sovereignty. That is why we have state courts, states can make their own laws. States can make their budgets and own their properties etc.* *Governors like Wike have already started applying true federalism by collecting VAT in his state. Let other states go to Supreme Court and ask for powers to secure their people by licensing gun carriers and state police. Also by using available gas in their state to power turbine and provide electricity to their industrial parks in order to employ their work force. Etc*

*The Biafra we are asking for we already have it in our hand but we don’t know what to do with it. Those who are at the forefront of Biafra agitation today, should know that when the real Biafra emerges, they will not be in a position to determine its leadership. It will be chaos. By then it will be too late to have an opportunity like Nigeria today.*
*Nigeria is ours to be taken. All we need is to get involved in politics and protect our political interests.*

*Please stop blaming others for protecting their own political interest. We have all it takes to win in Nigeria.*

1. We have the largest population and we are united.
2. Our people are scattered all over Nigeria and beyond.
3. Our political interest is merit, Justic and Rule of law. Which is easy to sell to other good men.
4. We have people in diaspora to support our case.
5. We have commerce to back up our pursuit.
6. Our Nigeria Political leadership will bring development to everyone.

*Even if we get Biafra. It will be too small to withstand the pressure from the vast poor and uncontrollable North. Therefore, let’s hold a meeting with all the parties and discuss what we need before we make more mistakes.*

*The meeting should have representations of,*

1. IPOB,
2. Ohanaeze
3. Political leadership
4. Traditional leadership
5. Academicians
6. Business leaders
7. State representatives.
8. Diaspora representatives.
9. Religious institutions
10. Women representatives
*This conference will determine what we need to develop as a people.*

*If we want Biafra, let it be a collective decision. However, if we want Biafra, there are simple and less dangerous ways to go about it.*

1. The South East and South South Congress men could sponsor a bill to that effect and call for a referendum. A survey will be conducted to determine the demography and topography. Then referendum will be conducted and on a certain date we will seize to be Nigerians and instead become Biafrans. However, where that is being frustrated by the Northern lead national assembly, a petition an be sent to UN committee in-charge of state creation, who will bring it to the UN assembly. Nigeria as a party, will state their case after which the Assembly will hear the other sides and vote on it. If the vote is in favour of a referendum, it will be conducted and if majority says yes, Biafra will be created as a new member state of the United Nations.

*This idea of killing people, burning houses and destroying properties does not in any way address the issues of secession. Instead it gives room for the people to be addressed as criminals and killed.*

*Who will convene the Confrence of Eastern Nigeria?*

Ohanaeze!
May God help you people.

I am not Igbo but the harassment of Chinwetalu Agu got me really furious.

This una Nairaland stupid declaration is boring " i am not Igbo" must you be Igbo , Yoruba or Hausa to make your point

Nah wa ooo

Buhari supporters will say the goal keeper deserves a red card

no kill me with laugh Abeg

Buckeyemedia1:
Why Use Boko Haram as comparison, has Ipob been degraded to the lowest level, a certified terrorist organization?

What's the difference between IPOB and Boko Haram apart from religion and ethnicity?
They both kill, they both fight the central government, they're both opposed to education as seen recently in the disruption of SSCE examinations, they both silent critics and use murder as intimidation tactics? What's the difference? A bullet is a bullet. A rifle is a rifle.

BafanaBafana:
Why is it that the only arguement they have is to start making irrational comparisons?

It is a rational comparison.

The current circumstances are unfair to the Igbos, but they should look to their past and their leaders for answers, had Zik had a little foresight Nigeria would have never happened.

Igbo's are the only people to call Lagos a Western Yoruba city "No Man Land" Igbo are used to raining insults on any ethnic group and despite the current circumstances. It was Igbos that instigated the unitary system and were against federalism when majority of government positions were controlled by Igbos.

"Reno Omokri blames Igbo"

I don't have to be Igbo but their are Igbos who are less concerned about what happened to Chinwetalu, infact some of them are in support of it, consequently I have to let it be known that I am not in anyway related to Igbos and I am still furious about what happened.

Just mention one Igbo person who are less concerned about what happened Agu... Mention just one who are in support of it.

That's how you people go about talking from from both sides of the month.

The beginning of good things are on the way. I am happy more people are beginning to say it to the faces of Igbo who they are. They are their own enemies. Yes, it is the truth. Everyone avoids them cos they bully, and when it's time to choose a leader, everyone avoids them also. And they start shouting foul play. Let them think. Has bullying achieve anything good?

Honestly, I think they dont even know they bully cos it's just part of who they are. But they need ro change for good. Stop betraying yourselves. Stop selling yourselves to outsiders. Money is not everything. Let your conscience be evident and dont let money put a metallic steel on it. Listen, every other person will continue playing games with you cos they know you dont like being told truth.

If you see anyone who criticizes you publicly, take it serious. They dont hate you; rather, it's from a heart filled with love. Change for good. Team up with each other.

Return to the drawing board and conquer the enemy inside you. Each should kill the enemy inside oneself before trying to kill the enemies outside.

God bless!

rdokoye:


Do you have to be Igbo to care about another Nigerian? This is the issue with Nigeria, especially those who pretend to love Nigeria or are for its unity.

I'm assuming by your moniker you are Igbo....this is exactly what Reno is talking about, "a lot of non-igbos would have spoken out if not for the behaviour of most Igbos"

The person you quoted is sort of sympathising with the arrest.....instead of you to accept the "questionable sympathy"....you are asking him discouraging questions

Terorislam:
Don't worry local Yoruba Muslims will still come and beg for unity

Osu Jew, face your tormentor friend and leave Yoruba out of your frustration

Wole Soyinka wey go inside prison all because of them, that Ediot Nnamdi kanu use him radio Biafra insult Soyinka, Ankio Briggs and others from Niger Delta wey dey speak up with then before, Nnamdi kanu and him Ipob crew insult their live. Omo make them caret their cross

wole is a pseudo intellectual,an idiot who stopped speaking the truth immediately ibb made him dg of road safety.
An idiot who supported buhari knowing his history.
The conscience of an average Yoruba is directly proportional to the politico economic reality at the time.
Nonsense and Yoruba truth.
Make bakare president today and he will change mouth

It’s because the top commanders of the soldiers share the same ideology and objectives with Boko Haram. The main objective is for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal justice system.

The non Muslim soldiers who watched are merely zombies.
Dissolve Nigeria now before worse things start to happen.

Is igboho guity? i believe NO, he only ran cuz the fight seems unwinable and they(FG) Wanted to Take his life

so my point exactly is..Running not necessarily Mean Guilty, but one having to LIVE to FIGHT another DAY

Buckeyemedia1:
Guilty conscience, only JAH knows why he ran away from Nigeria? Only the guilty run, whilst no one is chasing.

and there are yorubas like Obasanjo and tinubu who doesn't care if igboho is dead.

Ikinternational:
The man that's talking to igbos condescendingly just openly called other Nigerians tribalists.

No be own goal be that? Or is he too arrogant to notice

I believe Americans call it putting your foot in your mouth

Is there anybody who really knows things that doesn't know majority of Nigerians are tribalists?

Wait you really think Reno or people of the international community who have interest in Nigeria doesn't know that?

"Most Nigerians are unrepentant tribalists".....this is an open secret and that is why the colonial masters worked us along those lines and that is why the country is as backwards as it is

Reno Omokri has blamed Igbos for the treatment men of the Nigerian Army meted out on veteran actor, Chiwetalu Agu.

Agu was arrested on Thursday, October 7 in Anambra state for wearing an outfit with a Biafran flag on it.

In a post shared on his Instagram page, Reno compared the treatment meted on repentant Boko Haram members with that meted on Chiwetalu. He wrote;

Stoopeed Reno

you think you can continue to incite some people
what do you gain putting on fire to burn your nation.
you claim to love the Igbo's now because it suits your narratives.
if you feel there are corrections to be made by anyone come home and lead it yourself or instigate your Itshekiri people to adorn clothing suggesting incitement secession.

please stop all these nonsense and inspire Nigerians to do things right rather than inciting ethnic retributions
