It's unfortunate that none of the followers of the scammer Kanu has any answers to the questions.

That's how he disappeared after enjoying his loot, decided to appear in Israel to deceive them with religion. Told the Israel and their army was coming to fight for them. Today he has return home to the same UK he told them is their enemy.

Answer to which questions ? when you wake up from your frustration and start asking irrational and stupid questions, who do you expect to joun in your foolishness. are you looking for answers or you are trying so hard to ridicule your already pitiable life.

Lies. The truth is that many of ipob members did not even register for inec cards talkless of wanting to collect them. They were instructed to see Nigeria as zoo and must not participate in anything related to it. It won't make much difference. Having said that, nk lost relevance because those who he thought would support him, ( people like asari), if he ordered for boycotting are now going against him so he has no choice than to play along. He is irrelevant now.

so from your majestic calculations, you think NNAMDI KANU needs ASARI to be relevant ? how much relevant is ASARI himself ?

Politics / Re: Why Igbo Sons, Daughters Must Exercise Electoral Franchise - IPOB Strategist by banom(m): 5:38pm On Feb 15, 2019
tongue tongue
ToriTori247:
Amid controversy over a statement credited to the leader of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, ordering Igbos to ignore his earlier call for the boycott of Nigeria's presidential election on Saturday, a member of the group has cautioned Ndigbo on the dangers of boycotting the 2019 polls. 

Kanu had in a tweet yesterday reported to had withdrawn the boycott directive.

However, the Director of Research and Strategy of the IPOB, Mazi Ebuka Mbakwe in a statement lamented the adverse effect of the call, urging the Igbos to vote everywhere they are, including Igboland.

According to him, when it seems Ndigbo are "getting it right and on the path to greatness, Nnamdi Kanu and his likes want to return us to those dark ages whereas he has secured the future of his family and family members by receiving a whopping sum of $500 million to cause confusion in Igbo land", alleged.

The full text of the statement reads:
A CLARION CALL TO ALL IGBO SONS AND DAUGHTERS TO EXERCISE THEIR ELECTORAL FRANCHISE
In my capacity as the Director of Research and Strategy of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), I wholly condemn the call to Igbo Sons and Daughters by Nnamdi Kanu and some other unscrupulous elements to boycott the presidential elections scheduled for February 16th, 2019.

At this stage of our critical existence as a people and a race, the call is not only misguided, it is also not in the interest of the Igbo race which has suffered untold hardship since the aftermath of the civil war in Nigeria.

For once, when it seems that we are getting it right and on the path to greatness, Nnamdi Kanu and his likes want to return us to those dark ages whereas he has secured the future of his family and family members by receiving a whopping sum of $500 million to cause confusion in Igbo land.

Nnamdi Kanu as we now know is acting a script orchestrated by those who do not wish the Igbo race well in the scheme of things in Nigeria. He has also set out to put the lives of innocent Sons and Daughters of Igbo extraction at risk with a possible confrontation with the security agencies.

As we all know, the era of been used and dumped by Nnamdi Kanu is over. The period of foolishness has been replaced with wisdom and this fact every wise Igbo Son and Daughter should know.

The threat by IPOB to assault any Igbo Son or Daughter that does not heed to the sit at home order is criminal and an infringement to our right to life in an era of justice and fairness. And it must be resisted by all and sundry including the international community.

Nnamdi Kanu’s action further bolsters the suspicion that he is hell-bent on destroying the Igbo race by turning the once peaceful agitation into a violent one. And this must be resisted, and he is advised to desist from any further attack on anyone for that matter.

I at this moment encourage Ndigbo to come out in their numbers to vote for candidates of their choice and those that appeal to their interest in the forthcoming elections in fulfilment of our rights and privileges.

I also urge Ndigbo to ignore the stay completely at home order by Nnamdi Kanu which is designed and orchestrated to serve his purpose and that of his paymasters that he received the humongous sum of $500 million from recently.

Nnamdi Kanu and his ilk’s want to reduce IPOB to a criminal organization so that they can continue to feed fat from the crisis that would arise eventually. But they will fail because the international community is watching as events are unfolding.

Ndigbo must rise and be counted in this critical point of our existence, and we would not allow a select few to put us in harm’s way for their selfish interest anymore.

It is time to put the enemies of Ndigbo to shame. Come out and exercise your electoral franchise. Ndigbo Kwenu!

Yesterday was a big day for our struggle. we have never been this victorious in this struggle before. Earlier i posted about the five reasons we should boycott the election. One of them Was for Ipob to leverage on it to negotiate for our demand. yesterday it finally came through.

As a big insider in the struggle, i can tell you we have successfully staged a round table coup. we all have made history. I will not go into details to reveal the agreements that has been signed as I am not permitted to do so. keep your fingers crossed, IPOB leadership will soon release to you the whole details.

But before then, congrats to all IPOB members, congrats all nairaland IPOB members and supporters. ( my keyboard comrades) Congrats all Biafrans all over the world. All glory to Chukwu okike abiama. All hail Biafra.

Secondly, when I say you guys contribute money to your so called National I know what am saying. One of the days last year, I went to see my parents and one of the students parent in my mums school had the stupid courage to say that he will complete his children's school fees payment next week. Because they gave him, his wife and mother in-law money to pay in their IPOB meeting. I've also met a lot of you who tell me the have dues to pay in IPOB.

You guys should stop being stupid and reason with your senses. Stop thinking like old layer.

Remember that in 2006 MASSOB asked us to boycott census. Did it affect us? Definitely it did. Everybody in Nigeria knows that in Nigeria today you can not mention the top 5 populated states in Nigeria without mentioning Anambra. Where are they there? Bros let's use our head. Boycotting won't favour us. Ojukwu that fought the war at the last years of his life did everything to put Igbo's back to Nigerian politics. Some times he will always tell us to leave business and go for power as the man in power controls the man in business. Today those statements are true. Since Buhari and his forex wahala what has been the lot of Igbo importers? Ojukwu contested election in Nigeria because according to him he wanted to reconcile Igbo's back to Nigeria. Ojukwu latter realized the answer was not division, but Igbo's going into the political system and taking political decisions that will favour their lot.

How can Nnamdi KANU be pursuing Biafra and leave Ojukwus ideology behind. Used to listen to Radio Biafra and I never heard Nnamdi KANU mention or quote Ojukwu. He has made Biafra revolve around him. He wants to become the crux of Biafra- impossible!!!

Also tell the whole world that in your IPOB meetings you guys contribute money to be sent to National so they can give you Biafra- STUPID!!! Ask Eritrea if the contributed money for independence? Ask South Sudan if the paid a dime for independence. Nnamdi KANU is an Igbo man and you guys forget that. My brothers and I are always after profit. Who is hurt is not a question. Same thing is what Nnmadi is doing. Using your Akawo to chill in London and you are in Onitsha and Aba suffering to sell market. What a pity.
Let me not even go far because of the Clans in this forum. If not you will know all his family members he has sent to the US. At least I know one- Ekrzie. Guy on Saturday and on March just go out and vote and stop being a mumu with his mumu button turned on.

i had wanted to discuss here with you until i saw where you said we contribute money to send nations to help us get Biafra that was when i knew you are either an ignorant person or a mischievous person.
To you Nnamdi Kanu is doing business with us. Are you aware of how many tens of millions of dollars the Nigerian government offered him while in prison in other to drop the agitation and he rejected it. if he is after Money why didn't he accept it? how much is he going to get from us that will be any where near such offer? you need your head examined. like i said earlier, i like Atiku but Biafra comes first.

Do this assignment go online and check the votes of southeast in 2011 election or since 1999 and compare it to 2015 results and you will have a proof that ibos boycotted the 2015 elections.

Since you loathe the common -sense of being part of the political process so that your candidates can gradually fill up spaces in the East and from there push their interests forward...Then the MILITARY OPTION is the only freaking way!

typical PDP campaign strategy. you want us to see voting as the way to deal with our so called enemy. if that is the case, are you aware our so called enemy is in charge of the whole voting process including the rest itself. you forgot that we have been voting and it hasn't yielded any result. if no one will care if we boycott the election, why then are your lots so bothered now that we have not even boycotted it ?

Yes in 2015, NNAMDI KANU advocated for election boycott, but no one complied. Igbos gave Jonathan his highest percentage vote by any region in Nigeria. Jonathan lost the election because the northerners out rigged him, and Jega betrayed him.
No one invited you to Enugu, and no one asked you to withdraw all your money. find another lie and line of propaganda. this one is too cheap.

we are still today in the mess called Nigeria because we didn't boycott the 2015 election. if we had boycotted it, our story would have been different by now.

Politics / Biafrans See The 5 Important Reasons To Boycott The 2019 Presidential Election by banom(m): 1:35pm On Feb 14, 2019
Before i state those five important reasons, it is important i point out i was one of those highly vocal Atikulators last year. But as time went by, and with deeper understanding of what is really going on in Nigeria, i changed my mind. And decided to support what is best for me and my people. I can not be supporting Atiku or any other person at the expense of the freedom of my people. I still love Atiku and i wish him the very best, but Biafra is a far bigger priority and it most come first before any other thing.

The following are five major reasons IPOB advocated for Biafrans to boycott the presidential election. And i agree 100& with them, and every enlightened Igbo man or woman should comply as well.

IT IS A HARMLESS AND EFFECTIVE WAY OF COLLECTIVELY TELLING THE WORLD WHAT THE IGBOS WANT AS A PEOPLE.

The first importance of boycotting the presidential election is to send a message of what you want to the world, who themselves will not only be watching and taking note from afar, but will equally be on the ground to observe and see things for themselves.

The message is simple : Do you want Biafra or do you want to remain in Nigeria ? Its your choice, and no one will make it for you or force his or her own choice or opinion on you. It has nothing to do with PDP or APC or any other political party, it is about what you want and your choice of nationhood.

If you chose to remain in Nigeria, it is of utmost importance that you go out on the presidential election day and vote and play a part in deciding who leads the nation for the next four years.
But if your choice is to break away from Nigeria, and form a Biafran nation, then the Nigerian presidential election presents you a platform to tell that to the world by refusing to participate in it.
It is an indirect form of Referendum. You refuse to vote not because ordinarily you wouldn't want to vote, but a way to demonstrate and agitate to break away from a country you feel its not fair to you and you no longer want to be part of .

The beauty of it is that the election boycott is both harmless and effective: Harmless in the sense that it doesn't put you at any physical risk. It is far safer than coming out on the street to demonstrate and agitate for what you want. You simply stay in your house, relax yourself, play with your kids and loved ones, and even have time to reflect on all that the Igbo man has suffered for decades in the calamity called Nigeria, and ponder on what will be the way out in other to achieve a better future for yourself and your kids. And it will be effective because the world will be watching and will respond to you according to your wish. They will not force on you a nation you don't want. Your boycott will become a statement of what you want and the world will see and hear it loud and clear. And will respond accordingly.

IPOB NEEDS IT AS A LOBBYING AND NEGOTIATION WEAPON.

You might wonder why would IPOB seriously advice Biafrans to boycott the presidential election, and how would boycotting the presidential election help achieve Biafra?
This is a very reasonable and pertinent question as it is necessary one must understand the rational behind every such instructions before carrying it out. And more so, is the fact that at first look, the election boycott order looks like a person willfully harming himself , or even a sinister agenda in itself.

The truth is that it takes only an insider in the battle between IPOB and the Nigerian government, or a well enlightened outsider to immediately understand the reason behind IPOB issuing the election boycott order.

To a greater extent, what an average Biafran man living in Nigeria knows about the struggle by IPOB to actualise Biafra freedom is the countless demonstrations and protests IPOB activists and supporters do stage on the street on daily basis. While those protests are necessary and has its own level of effectiveness, that alone will not actualise Biafra.

Outside the event that we go to war with Nigeria and fight our way out of Nigeria, the way we will actualise Biafra will come from those protests, all manners of civil disobedience we embark on, and serious pressure that will be mounted on the Nigerian government from foreign powers to accept to fix a date for referendum and let us go.

To lobby for this foreign supports, IPOB lobbyists and consultants are working tirelessly outside Nigeria, meeting with foreign powers, international organisations, and well to do individuals praying and pleading for our case for freedom and independence from Nigeria.

The problem here is that they are not alone in it: The Nigerian government are equally engaging this same foreign Powers and and lobbying them not to listen nor support IPOB to liberate us from Nigeria.
The implication is that these foreign Powers are standing on the fence: on one hand is IPOB pleading "please help us out of Nigeria, our people are marginalised and no longer want to be part of Nigeria", while On the other hand is Nigeria government telling these foreign Powers "don't listen to IPOB, they are not the true representative of the will of the people, the Biafran people still want to remain in Nigeria".

How does election boycott come into the equation? If you boycott the presidential election as directed by IPOB, it will serve IPOB two crucial purposes: one, it will add to their legitimacy as the organization fighting for the liberation of our people, and stamp them as the true representative of the people and their will.

Second, the election boycott itself will form as part of IPOB lobbying and negotiation arsenal. A weapon in their diplomatic armory. They can now go back to these foreign Powers and use it to further plead and press their case for Biafran independence. They can now tell them, " you see our people no longer wish to be in Nigeria, they fully demonstrated this by massively boycotting the Nigerian presidential election" .

That is the main reason they asked you to boycott the presidential election. So that they can use it to further plead our case for independence.

Why didn't you understand the boycott as a tool for a diplomatic tussle between IPOB and the Nigerian government ? The answer is that the Nigerian government don't even want you to know about it, because they know that If you get to know about it, as an Igbo man naturally , you will take side with IPOB and boycott the election.
Another reason is the Cloud, (the falsehoods) created by PDP propaganda machine. Because, somehow, Igbos boycott of the election will affect the PDP more than the APC, they are out brainwashing unenlightened igbo men and women that IPOB and NNAMDI KANU is working for Buhari by asking them to boycott the election.
But when the same IPOB and NNAMDI KANU were busy exposing Buhari as an impostor Jubril, they supported it then because , it was discrediting APC, and benefiting them. Now, incidentally, the election boycott order is now against their own interest, NNAMDI KANU is now suddenly working for Buhari.

But the great question is " how can NNAMDI KANU be working for Buhari and at the same time be causing him lethal damage by exposing him as an impostor ? " Does that make any sense to any sensible mind ?

IT WILL RAISE IGBO'S LONG TERM POLITICAL VALUE IN NIGERIA.

Contrary to what some unenlightened folks and people in the PDP propaganda room have said about Biafrans boycotting the presidential election, that, it will adversely affect the igbos, on the contrary, it will raise Igbo's political value in Nigeria. Which is one of the root causes of their ordeal in Nigeria. most Igbo's political misfortune in Nigeria somehow stem from an igbo mans own behavior to what affects the well being of the igbos in general. An igbo man often acts too personal that they can not achieve anything collectively as a people.

How will Igbos boycotting the presidential election raise their political value in Nigeria ? To answer that, you have to look at the northerners: there are two reasons the northerners have more political value and edge over the rest of Nigerians, first, they decide what to do and do it in unison as one people, everyone commits to it with full gear, and it bears fruit. They did it in 1966 when they carried out a tribal coup to take away power from the south, and in recent times, in 2015, they banded together to take away power from Goodluck Jonathan.

Second, in every political decisions they make, they normally think first and foremost of themselves and and act first for their own good. Even if the decision will negatively affect the rest of the country, they don't care. They understand that Nigeria is not truly one, and united, and the best thing to do is to do those things that will benefit you, and act first for your own good and that of your people .
If they are the one who wants a breakaway from Nigeria, and as a result of that, are asked to boycott the Nigerian presidential election, they will comply to it 100%. In fact, you won't even near their place to say you are hosting any presidential political campaign, they will deal with you. Try it and you may not go back alive, and nothing will come out of it. They will never support one of two igbo men to be elected the president of the country at the expense of the pursuit of their own freedom. They will NEVER, EVER, AND EVER do that. That is who the northerners are: smart, united, and self interest driven. What matters to them is their own survival, not yours.

How will igbos boycotting the presidential election replicate this behavior of the northerners, its very simple : by massively boycotting the election, they will send a clear positive message to the rest of Nigerians that they can no longer accept the on going institutional marginalisation of the igbos by the Nigerian government. That they are now people capable of taking a decision and acting fully on it as one people. This will make other Nigerians to take them seriously, knowing fully well that they are people capable of speaking with one voice and acting on it. That they can be united in pursuit of a goal, or in support of a Candidate or agenda.
Besides that, by demonstrating the ability to stage such a massive civil disobedience, the Nigerian government will be forced to stop their systematic marginalisation of the people and work to integrate them fully well in the scheme of things in Nigeria in other to have them to always comply with civic responsibilities. No government wants civil disobedience or can fully function well against it.

The contrary is actually what will affect the Igbos: if the igbos refuse to comply with the boycott order, it will still showcase them to the rest of Nigerians as people not yet capable of speaking with one voice and acting on it. It will portray them as people not united, and unserious people who can't tell what is best for them, and who can not stand up and say to Nigerian government enough is enough. And the Nigerian government marginalisation of them will continue.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO LOSE AND THERE IS EVERYTHING TO GAIN.

Before going deeper into this, it is important for you to understand the directive issued by IPOB. they said "you may Vote in other elections, but totally boycott the presidential election" But before they gave such directive, they had already done their calculations and arrived at the necessity of such decision.
First of all, the presidential election which will take place before other elections will have much global exposure , so it presents a bigger opportunity for you to tell the world what you want. Boycotting it completely will be a powerful message sent and heard wide, loud and clear.
On the other hand, the governorship and other states election which will take place later, presents opportunity for you to vote out those state governors that out of their selfish political ambitions, are standing against the movement for the actualization of Biafran freedom. Those state governors like Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state , and Dave Umahi of ebonyi state who were ruthless and foolish enough to invite soldiers to kill our people for agitating for their freedom. Show them the way out. Then elect or reelect those who have been sympathetic to our course or at least sensible and human enough not to kill us.
That is the perfect voting step any enlightened Biafran should take. It is the perfect voting method that will help actualise Biafran freedom. Vote in men and women of good will and conscience, irrespective of their party affiliation. people who are enlightened enough to lead well and work for the general interest of the igbos.
There is absolutely no risk in boycotting the presidential election, instead, there is everything to be gained from it.

IT IS YOUR OWN LITTLE CONTRIBUTION TO THE STRUGGLE FOR THE ACTUALIZATION OF BIAFRAN INDEPENDENCE.

If you support the idea of we Biafrans going our separate way to form a free progressive nation where we can proudly call our own, then it calls for a responsibility for all of us to in one way or the other contribute to the struggle to actualise it. It will not come by merely wishing or saying you support it. It will come by everyone one of us contributing in one way or the other the much we can to to make it to become a reality.

Before you do that, there are two important things you must understand about the current Biafran struggle: one, now and more than ever before, we have the best chance to actualise Biafra. The agitation has so much gone far that all what is remaining is one key step or event and Biafra will become a reality .
Second, since the need for us to go our separate way and form a Biafran nation started in the late 1960s, we have lost so much for it that we can not afford to go back. It is Biafra or nothing. Our parents and grandparents lost their lives to make sure we are free people and not to experience the hopelessness we are experiencing today as Nigeria. Their sacrifices can never go in vain.
No tribe in Nigeria have lost more people for their survival and existence like we Biafrans. The existence of Nigeria is a curse on us. We wouldn't have lost over 3 million of our people if Nigeria never existed. We must continue until we get what we want.
And to get that freedom we want, and ensure that the sacrifices of our fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, and even foreign sympathizers like Bruce Mayrock our distant cousin, and many others were not in vain, we all must contribute to the struggle one way or the other.
You don't need to lose your life like millions we have already lost in other to contribute to actualise this vision, and our prayer is that we will not lose a single Biafran life again in this struggle. And you also may not need to come out in the street to demonstrate or evangelise before you can contribute to the struggle, you can make your own contribution to the struggle by boycotting the presidential election as directed and it will be counted for you. History will remember you, and what you have done, and your conscience will be at peace. Though the task might be small, but never under estimate it, it is vital , and probably the most important step needed now to our freedom.

SaiATKUOBI2019:
Most of buhari' supporters know he has nothing to offer again hence to defend him, they have to go forceful.
Pmb has failed.
As a military president, Nigeria experienced recession.
As a civilian president, Nigeria still experienced recession.
A man whose wife said, cabals are now in charge of the govt.
A man who claims to fight corruption yet dines with Akpabio, Ganduje, Obanikoro...n.b. these names have cases with efcc.

That's none of our business. All am after is to show you on going money making venture some foolish igbos are currently into. Try it and thank me later.
