Secession is not a crime? See ignorance

Go and help Tibet , Hong Kong, Macau ROTC secede from china na

Go and help Corsica secede from France

Go and help the Chechens secede from Russia

Go and help Zanzibar secede from Tanzania

Go and help southern Cameron's leave Cameroon

Mevery nation is a slave to their constitution , it took the scots countless decades to achieve a referendum date, and this was done via politicking (year on year) after their initial armed attempts failed

Catalan referendum is not federally backed ergo is illegal and will definitely not hold

Cure your ignorance. Secession is not a crime, self determination is recognised right all over the world. What might be a crime is the method of secession. It doesnt matter how long it took Scotland to get referendum, what matters us that their right to secede was respected. Spain might have issues with the Catalan referendum based on legality but nobody is denying Catalonians their right to secede. So the method of secession is the problem and not the right to secede. But in backward Nigeria, people have labaled Kanu and IPOB terrorist for asking for secession. They have been shot at, killed, arrested abd tortured. Yet, Kanu and IPOB are yet to touch anybody. Nigeria is the enemy here not IPOB or Kanu.

I dont see anything wrong with what Kanu has done. He has said that he is not going for any armed confrontation and that all wants is a referendum which is a democratic instrument.

Im laughing at these people who have turned a simple harmless IPOB parade into an act of war.

If anyone is guilty of instigating war, it is the murderous security agents who have gunned down hundreds of unarmed IPOB members just because they exercised their constitutional right to peaceful protest and agitation.

All this is because many people have come to take anything Biafra as war. I have seen OPC do a mock parade and salute themselves in Ikeja, nobody called it war.

All this is just propaganda to tarnish the image of IPOB as the peaceful freedom fighting oitfit it is.

Bishop4real:
Are Boys Brigade, Boys Scout, NYSC, Red Cross etc secessionist movements or bodies? Don't you see boys brigade & boys scout in Nigeria hoisting Nigerian flag? Which flag is IPOB brandishing? OP was spot on! That parade is an insult on the collective sensibility of the erudite, hardworking & creative Igbos. What a shame!

FYI, secession is not a crime. Scotland tried to secede from Britain when they voted in a referendum in 2014. Catalonia wants to secede from Spain and will have a referendum in October, East Timor seceded from Indonasia. Secession does not make any organisation criminal, what is criminal is how they go about it. Self determination is a human right. So far, IPOB have not touched anybody and they are within their rights under the law to salute each other and hold parades.

Organs:
Keep seeing things from your own viewpoint only. Boys brigade, NYSC, Boys Scout all have charters and are inaugurated by the law or ordinance of the land. These are all legitimate and established organizations. Now, Nnamdi kanu blatantly put together this miscreants lookiing threatening and all and you want to sincerely tell me if a judge says he is violating his bail conditions and orders his arrest for example, you think these hungry looking mofos will not put up resistance? Now guess what will happen, you know Nigerian Army is does not use tact or peaceful strategy, they will do the same thing they did with boko haram, shite etc, but again be ready, do not complain that its Buhari or fulani or muslim etc. Go now and ask shite in Zaria what the army did to them when they blocked a major highway and refused the passage to the COAS. Also, lots of soldiers said they were ready to remove their uniform and stop being soldiers if the COAS had turned back because they dont want to shoot, no way the zombie nigerian army do not operate like that. Its just "OPEN FIRE" dan borouba na dat time all these mouth wey you dey knack upandown go mechionu. So keep running your mouth, me i know it will not end well, and at the end nothing will happen, only idiots and fools and stubborn heads will just die for nothing, a lot of noise will be made, tears here and there and hope upon hope of biafra soon, biafra is coming very very soon, at the end we go settle and you will start complaining all over again. The same circle again and again until you learn to understand that we are together as one Nigeria, you are not going anywhere, we better unite now and get rid of all these politicians stealing us blind, that is the solution to our problem, period.

Well it is good that you are admiting that the Nigerian Army is a terrorist organisation that shoots unarmed civilians. They did it to Shia muslims for blocking the road the COAS wanted to use. If it were a civlised country such as Amwrica or Canada that it happend, the COAS and all the Soldiers who did this would have been in court on murder charges. But we are talking about Nigeria anyway were life means nothing.

The important thing to note with Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB is that they have never touched, harrased or killed anybody. It is even IPOB that has been harrased and killed. If some IPOB members decide to wear berets and salute Kanu, they are entitled to do that under the law. No law says nobody is allowed to salute another person or conduct parade. They are not carrying weapons. So people can read any meaning they want into it but they are not breaking any law

If Kanu is breaking his bail conditions, it is for the courts to decide when they resume.

Uteghe:
I just confirmed from an anambra indigene that no one was shot yesterday. Teargas canister only hit an IPOB member in the head. The photo of ''corpses'' posted on social media was staged.

A teargas canister hit an IPOB member in the head? So you dont know that can kill a person just as much as a bullet?

Sapiosexuality:
That's true but we have ask what a person plans to achieve by doing something with such ambiguity. Would it help Biafra if that video sends an impression of war? Will anyone be wrong to assume that Kanu is training an army against Nigeria? What impression does he send? What exactly does he plan to achieve? Those are important questions. Kanu is a mortal and not a God and should be alerted when he goofs.

If Nnamdi Kanu wanted to go to war, he would not advertise it this way for the authorities to know about it. He would have armed the die hard Biafra fanatics and it would start. The man has said that all he wants is a referendum. If some Biafran youths decide to wear berets and take salutes from Kanu, nothing in the law says they are doing anything wrong. Boys Brigade, NYSC, Boyscouts and several others all take salutes, are they also going to war?

The mind of the average Nigerian has been conditioned to see Biafra as war when that is not the case.

If people take this BSS as some sort of preparstion for war, its a free world, anyone can think what they like.

Sapiosexuality:
I don't think it's utter nonsense. The op may have said some illogical and irrational things up there but the bottom line is what such video seek to achieve. What exactly does that video seek to achieve? Can't such video be used as evidence against him? You can support Kanu but not everything he does. What's the point of that video? That he's preparing me to engage Nigeria in a war or what? What exactly?

I dont care what the video is meant to achieve as long as they are not breaking the law. Wearing a beret with black clothing and taking salute is not against any known law

Caseless:
you people come online leaving your brain offline. Is BSS A registered trustee? How do you compare a constitutionally backed organisation like NYSC and an international organisation like redcross to that 'nefarious' group called BBS(Bullshit based sect)? You're criminal.

Dont talk nonsense, is my village meeting a registered trustee?

Since when does anyone have to be registered to take salute and and answer to a name such as BSS?

You are calling them nefarious but if I ask you to say one single wrong they have done, you will not be able to say anything.

Arewa youths are just noise makers. They think that they can bully Igbos Igbos with their useless quit notice? Because we challenged their empire of "one Nigeria"?

They should have tried another tribe

PHILipu1:

You like it or not,majority will always carry the day.
Carry out your research and learn by yourself that only those that lost power few years ago that are calling for Nigeria break up and they are just minority ok.
Majority of Niger delta people don't even want any break up apart from asking that they should feel their resources more than other regions.

And that is why i said we Niger-delta people because the majority want Nigeria to remain as one and you can carry out your own survey and prove me wrong.

Thats good, that means that everyone should support a referendum where the majority can have their say

The video was supposed to be a propaganda aimed at projecting the readiness of Kanu and his IPOB agitators to enforce the Biafra dream, by applying force where necessary

That is your personal opinion, dont make it Kanu or IPOB's opinion.

When I was a member of ny schools boyscouts, we saluted and had guards of honour.

When I was in the Redcross, we saluted and had guards of honour

Even during my NYSC days, we saluted and kept guards of honours which civilians occasionally inspected

IPOB gives Kanu a guard of honour which he inspects and salutes to and people start writting nonsense. All of a sudden it is about "applying force where necessary"

Kanu is not doing anything you dont see other organisation like the Boys Brigade, Boyscouts and so on doing

But because it is Kanu and IPOB, people start foaming at the mouth.

The write up was utter nonsense.

PHILipu1:
.
I guess you have nothing upstairs to bring up again because i don't make any sense again.
Go and reset your brain and don't allow cownu to waste your life.
I'm proudly Niger-delta and we believe in one peaceful Nigeria and your 5% percent voices from south-east doesn't matter.

There is nothing wrong with beliving in the unity of Nigeria, as long as you dont force another person to believe it along with you. This is why nobody should speak for other ethic group except their own. When there was no Nigeria, what we had were ethnic groups.

So in terms of Nigeria, an Ijaw man should not speak for an Efik man same as a Bini man should not speak for an Ogoja man. Thats why it is wrong to speak for several ethnic groups in the name of a geogrphical expression known as Niger Delta

DeHEIGHTS:
Who are the people actually behaving like slaves?

I think those ones fighting for the phoney freedom are the real slaves.
We are Nigerians, living in Nigeria. We are free-born, not aliens!

The aliens are the real slaves! The earlier those gullible fellows get delivered from mental slavery the better for them.

If you continue to break the law of our dear nation, expect any dire consequences.
Law-breakers are liable to die young!
A word is enough for the wise!

There is nothing like phoney freedom. Its either a person or people wish to remain in their present circumstance or the want to get out if it. Nigeria is just the 1914 creation of white colonialists. The ethnic nationalities such as Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, Efik etc were there long before there was anything called Nigeria. So if any of them feels that the colonial contraption called Nigeria, which they were all forced into by the British, is not to their liking, they reserve the right to opt out. It is called self determination, the right of people to decide their destiny.

It is only because Nigeria is not a civilised place that someone will suppport the killing of another simply because they say they dont want be Nigerian any more.

Scotland had an independence referendum in 2014 without any noise

Britain had a referendum to leave the EU last year without any noise

But when the Igbo nation talks about referendum, people start talking about war. Africans are too backward

Funny how people open threads and say that Kanu said something, only to quote what another faceless person said.

This thread was just set up to put words in Kanu's mouth and mislead people

Bankbio:
Bro be sincere to ur self for once those Dat sound real to u
police will juz come and Dey will start shooting Maka why nau

They did it in Aba, they did in Onitsha, they did it in Portharcourt. Yes it sounds right to me

Shooting down unarmed people just because they peacefully agitate for Biafra

Later, one idiot will come to tell us Igbos tha ONE NIGERIA is the best

Nigeria bu obodo Ekwensu!

Sagay212:
Tell the ugly looking ipod, harlot pig to show us the video of the NA shooting the dead ipod criminal and show us how the so called woman was undressed and how her shop with imaginary goods worth 100k was burnt. you ipods are the silliest being to ever work the surface of the earth. Continue to waste your lives.

Dont talk like a morron. There are many videos of of the Army shooting at IPOB on youtube if you are looking for one. The Amnesty International report on how 150 IPOB were killed is out. So nobody should act like this is something new.

We now have a situation were the police said they went to "disperse" IPOB were they were gathared and a picture of one of them with a bullet to his head emerges. How do you think he got shot?

An eyewitness has come foward, indentified herself and told us what she witnessed. Even if you dont believe her, what you should say is that the police should do a thorough job to find out how and why this young man was shot, including questioning the alleged eyewitness.

dee02:
What stupid freedom?
Are you in bondage or captivity?
IPOB Bastar ds!

Of course we are in bondage and captivity. If we were not in bondage, we would free to declare our independence and have our own separate country.

BeautifulSE:
Lol. So who are we to believe now

The picture of the IPOB guy with a gun shot to the head looks real enough to me.

MXrap:
Those people that converged at Ekwulobia are not Anambrans but imported ipob miscreants. Show me where Bobmanuel is running after Nnamdi Kanu on the road then I will take you serious. No sane, lettered, person follows NK. They are all illiterate miscreants shipped from Aba to come and cause confusion. Real Anambrans are not part of this.

Then it means you dont really care if your Nigerian security forces are doing their job or doing something illegal.

Let me tell you something, the Nigerian security forces are not allowed to fire their guns unless they are in a situation where their life or the life of the general public is in danger. How can.an.unarmed person waving a Biafran flag and singing a Biafran so g be a danger to anyone?

The reason why this is important is that if the Nigerian security officers are shooting unarmed people unnecessarily, it might be any of us tomorow. Wether it is about Biafra or not wont make a difference, once they dont like the situation, they will open fire.

cstr1000:
That is why i hardly ever sympathize with them when Bokoharam finish them off like flies. It is karma coming down on them hard.
Savages that deserve nothing good.

True

I never feel anything for Nigerian Soldiers when they are killed by Boko haram

The Nigerian Army do the same thing to unarmed IPOB so why should I feel anything? Boko Haram and the Nigerian Army both kill unarmed people.

Amah70:
IPOB SHOULD HAVE USED ITS POPULARITY DURING THIS ANAMBRA STATE ELECTIONS TO COLLECT ALL THE POLITICAL STRUCTURES IN ANAMBRA STATE BY VOTING DURING THE ELECTION.

AND REPEAT SAME IN ALL THE EASTERN STATES. THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO RESTORE BIAFRA. IT IS NOT YET TOO LATE FOR IPOB TO CHANGE ITS APPROACH TO ANAMBRA ELECTIONS, IF IPOB TRULY WANTS TO RESTORE BIAFRA THROUGH PEACEFUL METHODS.

IPOB is popular because it is not into politics, it is into freedom fighting. Holding political office is not what will bring freedom.

billyG:
This man Nnamdi Kanu is evil,he has led many gullible souls to hell!he has blood on his hands.chukwu abiama shld judge him.

Is it Kanu doing the shooting? Who is doing the shooting?

MrHistorian:
Once again....Yorubas are for ONE NIGERIA

Yes we know. But it takes two to tango. There is nothing like ONE NIGERIA unless we Igbos say there is.

moninuola65:
but why biafra isn't created in Cameroon? the indigenous biafran!

Yoy cannot say anything to defend the fraudulent colonial contraption known as Nigeria which you call your country, so you have to start mentioning cameroon to divert attention


People like you stole the country Lugard created, and you claimed it as your own

You even stole the name "Nigeria" which Lugards wife invented, and used it as your identity.

You Nigerians are busy stealing other peoples work because you can never be Ojukwu or Kanu who are determined to create their own nations.

Thats why colonial mentality is a horrible thing.

moninuola65:
A 1710 map indicates that the region known as "Biafar" (Biafra) was located in present day Cameroon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bight_of_Biafra
However, more important than the name is that Biafra will come by the agitation of the indigenous people of the land.....is not igbo but Cameroonian!

You have your own map, I have mine. As I said before, the name of the area is not as important as the fact that it will be created by the free will of the people which Nigeria wasnt. What the people call it, wether Biafra or otherwise is up to the people.

moninuola65:
Oh my God!
ok, what is biafra?
where does the word come from?

The ancient land of Biafra existed about 600 years ago and covered much of what is now called SE/SS as well as Southern Cameroon, stoping just before the Bini empire as can be seen in the ancient navigators map below. That is why navigators called the Sea board around it "The bight of Biafra".

However, more important than the name is that Biafra will come by the agitation of the indigenous people of the land (nobody agitated for the creation of Nigeria)

And by referendum (nobody ever voted or agreed to be a Nigerian)

Biafra will be far more leĺgal and legitimate than Nigeria because it is created by the people rathern by white colonialists as in the case of Nigeria

Okoroawusa:
I wont be happy until I see Nnamdi Kanu's younger brother,sister,cousin,father,mother,uncle,at least one person from his family,shot dead at a protest.

Look at these young lives lost.

You mean the people your Nigerian Army shot? Do you really believe that the Nigerian Government bought guns and gave the security forces so they can go out and kill unarmed people?

A reminder that we are still in the zoological Republic where the shooting unarmed people by the Nigerian security forces is a way of life.

Kulas:
The heat has been on,the killings of innocent Biafra agitators,the destruction of properties,the hate speech from all corners,the controversy,lingering crises,etc,in fact the tension is so high in this country just because of peaceful,non violence Biafra agitations.I begin think why should this generate all these as mentioned above.I thought that people that having been agitating for years to be on their own should be granted to do so?,after all,they are not violence,their approach is peaceful.Please Is there a law that states you must stay together" whether you like or not" or "we must remain husband and wife and you can never leave or divorce me".Please i want to be enlightened(educated) on this both legally and by advanced minds on "why is it a big deal to grant Biafra to igbos and allow them to go and be on their own.Thank you.

In 1914, a certain British chap called Lugard declared certain tribes in West Africa as "Nigerians"

Ever since, most of those tribes have been suffering from colonial mentality. One of those tribes not suffering from colonial madness is Igbos. We have been telling Nigerians that we are not part of this 1914 "colonial arrangement" called Nigeria, we even fought a war to drive this point home.

But this colonial sickness Lugard brought from Britain has refused to leave Nigerians alone.

When we talk referendum, Nigeria talks war

When we talk about freedom, Nigeria talks war

When we talk about self determination, Nigeria talks war

A Nigerian will tell an Igbo man to look for referendum politically when no referendum made any of us Nigerians

A Nigerian will tell you that Nigeria is indivisble when there was no Nigeria 103 years ago

Nigeria is just a symbol of subjugation, oppression and slavery. All part of the colonial sickness Nigerians suffer from and the only cure is IPOB

For those who dont understand Igbo or dont have the mb to watch the video, the girl said that the security agents killed an IPOB member without any provocation and and also undressed another woman. She also said something about her goods worth over N100,000 being set on fire by the security agencies.
