Rawani:The difference is that because America is a civilised place, they would never shoot their own citizens with live ammunition over being attacked with bottles and stones. That is not a good enough reason to bring in guns. |
When you look at the resons they came up with to tag IPOB as a terrorist group, you just fall down in laughter |
Countries have to pick and choose who to brand terrorists oe else, everybody would branded terrorist Basically, Lie Mohammed said that Kanu is terrorist because of what he said. But Fulani herdsmen killing people everywhere are just mere criminals |
Trumpism:That useless man who never dreamt he would one day become governor? Everybody is just tired of him |
KingNom:Intead of you to be questioning why your military sre shooting down unarmed people, you are writting the above trash |
November 18th "Ubochi Ofe Nsala" Lets boycott the elections umu nnem! |
preciouseres:You should be more worried that your coward Nigerian Army needs APC's and machine guns to go against unarmed people while in other civilised countries, only dialogue is needed. |
Elbowroom:Whatever you think Kanu has said, he still.has freedom of speech granted to him by the law. In a situation were his speech breaches the law, the law precribes that the police investigate and charge him if found wanting. Kanu is already in court. It doesnt matter what happend in Umuahia, IPOB have their own story and the Army have their own. What matters is if the rule of law was followed. Does the Armed forces regulation act allow the Army to shoot civilians if provoked? It does not. Does the rules of engagement allow the Army to shoot civilians because of sticks and stones? Is that proportionate response? No it is not By virtue of section 217 of the constitution, are the Army allowed to invade a persons house or any area in Nigeria during peace times and take over the job of the police? No they are not. Is the president of Nigeria allowed to deploy soldiers in a peaceful area devoid of armed insurrection? No he is not. Im no Lawyer but the number of laws broken in relation to opration Python dance 2 in Abia state are many and we should all condemn them |
Nnamdi Kanu is one crafty man. I remember during the Presidential elections, he urged his radio listeners not to vote for GEJ, and indeed, GEJ had less votes from the SE/SS than he did in the previous elections. I think that Kanu wanted Buhari to become president because Buhari's military past would make him a far more confrontational leader than GEJ who largely ignored IPOB. Buhari fell into every trap Kanu set for him. The Kanu arrest, the media chat where Buhari could not hold his anger when Kanu was mentioned, disobeying court judgements. Kanu then came out of jail and piled on the pressure. Disregarding his bail conditions, Kanu held mammoth crowd rallies, insulted Buhari with reckless abandon, baiting Buhari. Had Buhari been wise, he would have been patient and used the instruments of the courts to get Kanu down. But he could not wait. The military dictator in him took over and he returned to Nigeria from London to order opration Python dance knowing fully well it would cause fracas between IPOB and the Army. The Army then headed for Kanu's home and broke all the rules of military engagement known to man. To cover up their crimes in Abia state, they hurriedly rushed to court to declare IPOB a terrorist organisation. I didnt even know about section 217 of the constitution that outlines the use of the military before opration Python dance 2. Now Lawyers are pouring over that section of the constitution and realising that the president not only violated the constitution by the illegal deployment of the Army, but that the Army commited gross abuse of its principles by usurping the role of the police. Today, Amnesty International and HURIWA are investigating the gross human rights abuses of the Military in Abia state. The entire government of Nigeria has been turned into the laughing stock of the world by their classification of unarmed IPOB as a terrorist organisation but Killer Herdsmen are 'mere criminals'. The international goodwill Buhari enjoyed from the international community has all but disappeared while support for Biafra at home and abroad has skyrocketed. I got to hand it to Nnamdi Kanu, he chose the best promoter of Biafra with Buhari. |
Nice one by ADF. The implication could be huge because if opration Python dance was illegal, then it means that the invasion of Kanu's residence and the proscription of IPOB may well be illegal. |
Yyeske:It doesnt matter what happend in Umuahia, IPOB have their own story and the Army have their own. What matters is if the rule of law was followed. Does the Armed forces regulation act allow the Army to shoot civilians if provoked? It does not. Does the rules of engagement allow the Army to shoot civilians because of sticks and stones?

Yyeske:I watched Donald Trumps inaugration on CNN. While the inaugration was going on, anti- Trump protesters were fighting with Police and Army all over Washington with sticks and stones, nobody was shot at. I saw clips of the London riots from years ago where youths attacked London Police with not only sticks and stones but petrol bombs too, the police never shot back with live ammunition. In civilised countries, live ammunition is only last resort and it is usually against a group that is armed with guns too. Clashes between civilians and Police/Army happens all over the world, it is nothing new. Even Police and Army have their own occasional spat here in Nigeria. But when the military or police start shooting unarmed civilians because of clash, then there is serious problem that affects everybody What happend in Abia was just a case of Military brutality and extrer-judicial killings which all sane people should condemn. |
Yyeske:Povoking and attacking (with sticks and stones) is not a good enough reason for a Soldier to shoot a person. The duty of a Soldier is to shoot at someone who is armed on his level (gun) |
A young unarmed man was murdered by the Nigerian Army because they dont like his politics. It maybe a different government tomorow and anybody could be murdered for having an opposite view. People keep calling Kanu without considering that the Nigerian Army does not shoot people over the issue of Biafra alone, they shoot peoole for all kinds of reasons So why should Nigeria have an Army that shoots people in peace times? That is barbarism You are shot for Biafra today, shot for restructuring tomorow, shot for protesting next tomorow. How long before it will be your turn? How many times have we heard that the Armies of other countries are shooting civilians? Nnamdi Kanu didnt kill this young man, this man was killed as a result of having an uncivilised and unprofessional armed force in an uncivilised Nigeria. Adiu Bro, in the struggle for freedom, some will fall along the way. But eventually, we shall be free and it will be the duty of the free to remember the sacrifice of the dead. |
Gotze1:And if they dont want Nigeria restructured, what will anybody do? Restructuring is a waste of time, the North will never allow it. Which means that everyone will either have to accept Nigeria the way it is or become an 'Nnamdi Kanu' No two ways about it |
BornAgainMay:The Anambra election being conducted is not the issue here. IPOB's position is that of boycotting the elections. Election boycott is legal. As an Anambra man and Biafran suppprter, Im hoping for a massive boycott of the election by our people. If 70% or more of eligible voters in Anambra abstain from voting and enjoy 'ofe Nsala' at home on that day, I will be a happy man and I believe that most states in the SS/SE will follow suit in 2019. Im not saying that a successful boycott of the elections will be enough to bring Biafra but it is a massive step in the right direction. We need a political revolution and Anambra will be the starting point Ofe Nsala Day! |
TheFreeOne:Of course |
farem:What the point of this thread? You like quoting what people said one month later or something? |
seunmsg:Kanu and IPOB are the biggest reasons put foward by agitators if restructuring as ti why Nigeria should be restructured. There us actually no agitation for restructuring except word of mouth. The active agitation people could see was that of IPOB. With IPOB proscribed, the call for restructuring has been weakend as there is no active agitation that can now be used as a case point for restructuring |
Ohaneze President-General gave a speech today at chatham house, UK, in which he called for restructuring, spoke on the illegality of IPOB proscription and called the declaration of Arewa youths treasonable. Below are excerpts of his speech and the video. [b]"In the recent past, self determinstion groups have sprung up in Nigeria. The self determination groups include IPOB, MASSOB,YOLICOM, Arewa Youths, Niger Delta Republic and Republic Of the Middle Belt. Of all these groups, IPOB and Boko Haram have been designated as terrorist organisations by the federal government. This development in relation to IPOB is unfortunate. Boko Haram is an armed organisation which has attacked and occupied Nigerian territory, hoisting its flag and appointing local government authority governments. It has abducted and abused Nigerian women, kidnapped and imprisoned many and killed over 200,000 people. It is still involved in guerilla warfare against Nigeria, yet the federal government is negotiating with them. No member of Boko Haram captured by the military is under trial in Nigeria. Members of this federal government are on record for condemning previous federal government for brutal murder of Boko Haram members and condemning the retired chief of Army staff for zealous prosecution of the anti-terror war. Members of the sect who confessed to a change of mind have been recieved along with their abducted female partners in the presidency and rehabilitated. The declaration of IPOB as a terrorist organisation is in my view, hurried, unfair and not in conformity with the internment of the law. Whereas I'm not in agreement with some of the methods of IPOB like its inappropriate and divisive broadcasts, the uncontested evidence given by the attorney general of the federation in an interlocutory action claiming that IPOB attempted or actually snatched guns from law enforcement agents are, if proven, merely criminal offences. The do not constitute enough evidence to meet international law definition of a terrorist organisation. The United States Embassy in Nigeria only three days ago shared this conclusion of mine and asserted that the United States government does not recignise IPOB as a terrorist organisation This same unarmed IPOB that is being stigmatised by the Nigerian government had its members murdered in Asaba, Mkpor, Aba and Portharcourt simply for having public demonstrations, without the federal government ordering a judicial enquiry. Instead, after I called for one, and Amnesty international provided evidence that 150 of them were killed, the chief of Army staff set up an enquirey composed of of serving and retired Army officers, thus abandoning the rules of natural justice which prescribes that you cannot be a judge in your own court. Igbos in Nigeria feel the treatment of IPOB as unfair, discriminatory and overhanded. They see the move as an attempt to encourage the profiling of Igbos in the international security arena We know of other self determination groups in Nigeria that are armed and have destroyed government and private sector installations that government preferes to negotiate with rather than labell them as terrorist organisations. Fulani Herdsmen, otherwise called Fulani militants, have ravaged farms in the middle belt, south south and south east of Nigeria killing several farmers in the process. In January 2016, they killed 500 farmers and their families in Agatu in Benue state. In Enugu state, they murdered morthan 100 farmers in Ukpabi Nimbo in April 2016. Photographs depicting then with automatic rifles trend the entire world media. Yet not one of them is facing criminal charges, nor is opration Python dance being conducted in the area they ravage and kill. And the federal government describes them as criminals and not a terrorist organisation notwithstanding their classification by the global terrorist index as the fourth deadliest terrorist group in the world" [/b] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRHkW2ELem0 |
That term "The unity of Nigeria is non negotiable" is what dictstors use. Every union is negotiable, if it isnt, then one party will end up holding another hostage.............and the resultant effect will not be good |
Intrepid01:Brigadier Ogundipe is chased out of Lagos Yoruba land and out his rightful place as the next head of state after Ironsi by Northerners. Yorubas said "carry on our Northern Lords" Lt Col Fajuyi, Governor of the Western Region, is murdered in Yoruba land by Northerners. Yorubas shout the "the North are our lords" These two examples are enough for any ethnic group to rise up and fight for their sovereignty. But no, "we have brain and brawns and cant stand up for ourselves" Laughble. We need people who standup to the North here in the south of Nigeria, not people who are still making excuses for having no backbone |
Throwback:While you are writting this stupid nonsense, it pays to note the rule of law. Kanu may have said things some people may not like but the law gives him the freedom of speech. In the case where his freedom of speech is deemed to have breached the law, the law says that he should be investigated, if found wanting, charged to court. Kanu has never asked anyone to worshipp him or kiss his feet and if prople decide to that, it is of their own free will. Kanu asked for a referendum which is a democratic thing. He didnt say anything about carving out an area and seceding, he called for referendum. Dome might argue that referendum is not in the constitution and that Kanu should go through the national assembly however, this is one legal route and not the only legal route. Kanu can also use civil disobedience, peaceful protest, election boycott etc which are all legal, to pressurise the national assembly to consider giving the east a referendum. The law does not lermit the Nigerian Army to raid peaceful eclaves, shoot up the place and take over the constitutional role of the police. That is illegal. The illegality here is the one done by the government and not Kanu. It was only after this illegal act that the government went court to get an order to proscribe IPOB Laughable |
Intrepid01:This is the thinking of someone who has already imbibed themselves with the spirit of cowardice. Oeople should be proud to fight for their land and if need be, die for it. In the second world war, only two finnish ski divisions held the might if the Russian Army. Finland did says "oh the Russians are greater than us so let us surrender" It is true to assess if a people are ready for war but not at the expense of surrendering without a fight like cowards. There were just about 2 or 3 thousand armed Northerners in the Western Region surrounded by millions of Yorubas but Yorubas could do nothing. They didnt even put up any resistance. When people cannot fight to defend their own land, it is most shameful |
There is nothing brave about the Nigerian Army invading an area and shooting unarmed people. The only cowards here are the Nigerian Army who cannot do anything against Boko Haram, Niger Delta Avengers or even Herdsmen. But as soon as the hear that Kanu and IPOB are not armed, they suddenly remember that guns are meant for shooting. Kanu is not a coward, he returned to Nigeria and stood up for his beliefs. But I dont expect him to present himself to be killed like a Chicken just because it is the Nigerian Army either. |
One thing was certain, the North could not hace fought a combined West and Eastern Region. Who knows what would have happend if Awolowo had made a clarion call to the Yoruba nation to sieze the Governmwnt of Gowon in Lagos as well as Ibadan and Abeokuta baraks? It may have been bloody but it was achievable. That woukd have left just Kaduna and Kano military installations. For some reason, the North has always been able to use the west to undermine the rest of Southern Nigeria. |
k9ine:Thats why I admire Fayose. If it had been Fayose, even if he doesnt support IPOB or Biafra, he will still speakout against government or military impunity. What we have are just governors who dont want to jeopardise their monthly allocation from the givernment. Nnamdi Kanu was right about one thing, Ndigbo should turn their backs against the political elite and boycott future elections because no matter who gets in there, they wont care about the people. |
OyinloyeBA:How did he give them reasons to be together? Only a fool is still talking about restructuring when the North are totally against it. What will you do when North say no to restrcturing? Will you tow the line of Kanu and ask for secession or go back to singing ONE NIGERIA? Of course we all know you will go back to ONE NIGERIA because you dont have the backbone to be a radical like Kanu. I laugh at you people who talk about restructuring, come and get it from the North lets see |
OyinloyeBA:Kanu didnt burn any bridges, there were no bridges to burn anyway. Lets face facts. Its not like Nigeria is this incredible country were we love each other and are united for the purpose of nation building. Far from it. Nigeria is just a jumble of ethnic nationalities that were brought together to do the bidding of colonialists, and now the North. Nigeria has no foundation and no bases. Kanu or no Kanu, Nigeria is no nation. |
The Nigerian army has however refuted the claims it invaded Kanu’s home nor killed anybody.Videos are on you tube. Bunch of liers |
BLSYNG:Of course, what did you expect a clueless, cattle rearing ex military man to do? In a way, Im glad he blew everything up because Igbos now know without a shadow of a doubt that their place is not in Nigeria. |
