Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu thought he was fighting for better Nigeria, but what did he get?? It became igbo coup despite afonjas being a part of it despite Adewale Ademoyega being a part and parcel of the coup and SW being the center of events that necessitated the military intervention

progress69:
Dude, looks like u have nothing intelligent to say. One single submission u have not made. Are u leaving the job for the wailing elders?

Omenka, get a life

Look at the shyte you call protest. Yeye. una de envy the Biafran patriotism

xstry:
No one is firing anything. They're not carrying weapons and blocking roads like ipob protesters

show me pictures of iPOB carrying weapons and blocking roads.

xstry:
that's your belief @ the bolded, you think everything should be approached violently, this protest is bigger than any other protest the massob and IPOb has ever carried out and no one's getting shot.

Lol, chicken hearted nigerians cant orgainze a sucessful protest. They are now looking for excuses for their flopped protest. Show me any evidence that IPOB went violent during their protest. Its their resolve that intimidate nigerians and they resort to killing in frustrations, unlike this protest which the organizers chickened out and the government highjacked it. Tuface gave up after few minutes with DSS but kanu has been there for years and still resolute

omofunaab:
It's a lie, it can never happen in igboland.

We are descendants of ojukwu, who happens to be the bravest man ever in our land

We are ipods, ipods are courageous ,we don't tolerate nonsense

Is that why you cowards surrendered Ilorin? The criminal fulani can only kill in remote villages at night, you know how we treat them if they try shit in the city center, unlike what happened in Mile 12

a

We made it clear from the beginning that we are not part of the protest.

NgeneUkwenu:
IPOB/PDP Never seen something!

I call them KeyBoard Warriors!

Are you sure you are OK?? The protest failed because IPOB is not part of it

We allknow who those people are. 2face Foundation is just trying to be diplomatic by not mentioning those names.

Anyone not happy with the cancellation can go to hell or sue tuface for not falling for their uncanny gimmicks.

Those people must be really powerful, Nigeria organized a protest and certain people were feared to the extent that it was cancelled. I give it to those people, they are very powerful

Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has said that the cancellation of 2Face Idibia planned protest was a deep embarrassment and a national shame ‘triggered by the state’s attempt to water down the criminal code against corruption’ and that the police reversed the hands of the democratic clock. Wole Soyinka in a an article on Saharareproters said the he had written a letter to the Inspector-General of Police, through the Commissioner of Police, Lagos state demanding that the protest be allowed so as to respect and safeguard the constitutional rights of Nigerians. Read full article here Noble Lareate, Playwriter and Poet, Prof Wole Soyika Saturday (Saturday, Feb 4), the media offered the nation a space of relief when it carried the expected news of a mutual accommodation reached by the organizers of the demonstration planned for tomorrow Monday February 6th. The theme in summary: public discontent with the state of the nation and its governance. From the beginning, the organizers had cited quite an extensive list of such areas of concern and demands for urgent attention. To my personal consternation, today’s (Sunday) the same media countered that announcement with a stiff repudiation from the apex of the Police command – the office of the Inspector-General. It is such a huge disappointment, and a disservice to the cause of democracy, tolerance of dissent, and principle of inclusive governance. An unnecessary but important reminder: the battle for the right of lawful assembly of citizens in any cause, conducted peacefully, has been fought and won several times over. It is time that this contest is gracefully conceded. It must be consolidated by its routineness as a choice of action at the front of any people’s democratic participation. This battle has been won legally, constitutionally, and even morally. It enjoys near global acceptance as one of the means of actualizing the protocols of a people’s Fundamental Human Rights. It comes therefore as a deep embarrassment and a national shame that this latest attempt at denial of these protocols rears its head at a time when one of the largest gatherings of humanity is taking place in one of the former totalitarian states of Eastern Europe – Romania. Its size has been assessed as the largest in former Eastern Europe since the fall of the Berlin wall. It was triggered by the state attempt to water down the criminal code against corruption and has brought out hundreds of thousands of people into the streets and stadia, day after day, until the much-awaited announcement of the withdrawal of the obnoxious decree. This should resonate within the current Nigerian governance that has made the anti-corruption crusade its mantra. The Police attempt to reverse the hands of the democratic clock is even more appalling at a time when open demonstrations are taking place all over the world against the policies of a recently elected president of the United States, whose democratic formula this nation allegedly serves as Nigeria’s adopted model. Across numerous states of that federated nation, ongoing at this very moment, is the public expression of rejection of a president’s policy that has also pitted the Executive against the judiciary. We have heard of no preventive action by the police, nor arrests of demonstrators. Again and again, efforts, both under military and civilian orders have been made to stifle the rights to freedom of expression by Nigerian governments – Buhari, Babangida, Obasanjo, Abacha, Jonathan….and now again, Buhari? These efforts have been, and will always be resisted. It is a moral issue, as old as settled humanity. It has been settled in other parts of the world. Nigeria cannot be an exception, not as long as her citizens refuse to accept the designation of second, even third-rate citizens. I have sent a message to the Inspector-General of Police, through the Commissioner of Police, Lagos state, urging both to respect and safeguard the constitutional rights of the people. I hope that, even at this eleventh hour, legality and the democratic imperative will prevail. Finally, I shall be less than honest if I do not add the following, mostly directed as a warning to the very polity on whose behalf the democratic war is joined, again and again:

subtlemee:
Aside being a president he's human too and a part of me still pity him,to be sick is not a good thing..wish him quick recovery for his family not for Nigeria

Did anybody force him to contest?? Cant he resign if he cant bear the heat anymore??

Which one is "call for his death"?? God is the giver and taker of life so if he dies its not because of any "call for his death"

omenkaLives:
I dont even know what these guys are waiting for. They should come out openly, take up arms and pledge allegiance to Boko Haram already. This "corner corner" support is becoming all too boring and cowardly.

"these guys" seem to be right at end most of the times. Secondly, there is nothing like "corner corner". They have made it clear that "the zoo must fall" so anything that hurts the zoo is Ok by them

After Insulting IPOB??

Remember Kogi debacle. Even if anything happen, Osibanjo is still going on or before 2019 unless he do serious fence mending with the East

HungerBAD:
A de-tribalized Doctor.

While a certain people,from a certain part of the Country is wishing our President death. A Medical Doctor,from that same part of the Country is nursing him back to health.

So what does this tell us?simply means we all should learn to love each other.

Peddling hate will get us no where.

Dr. Ogbonna I greet you. More power to your elbow,and may your metal never go blunt.

an IPOB undercover doctor, he has injected Buhari with untraceable poison. IPOB always miles ahead of the zo.oo. Nonsense

tobida:
I think say IPOB yoot say dem no dey protest?

You all have been trying to rope IPOB yoot in the protest in order to discredit it, this thread is one of those failed attempts

hammerF:
Congrats in advance to the Afonja that will occupy Aso Rock. Igbo and Yoruba fight na only for online. Internet palava!


Una be my inlaw. Time to kiss and make up.

Igbos will work with any president ready to carry everybody along. Forget internet fight, igbos will support osibanjo if he does not follow Buhari's bigoted ways

berrystunn:
Ask any igbo man the meaning of 2face in there language...

Two face = Iru abua = Hypocrite

omenkaLives:
He is sick and needs time to recuperate, just like every other human being with blood running through their veins.

Let him take his time and get well. Osinbajo is more than capable to act in his stead.

Get well sir.

he can be declared incapacitated and impeached.

kITATITA:
The typical IPOB youth has identity issues. He says he wants Biafra, yet he doesn't support the party founded by Ojukwu, the symbol of Biafran identity. He believes GEJ is his godfather and messiah, yet Ijaw people where GEJ comes from have moved on and doesn't give a hoot about Biafra. Mr IPOB dons Jewish garb and clutches the bible while singing Christian praise songs. He is dying for Donald Trump on the streets of Nigeria while Americans in America are protesting against Donald Trump. The IPOB youth belongs to PDP and hates Hausa Fulani and Buhari supporters, yet PDP has zoned 2019 Presidency to the north. Mr. IPOB supports the activities of militants and vandals who sabotage the economy, yet he complains about lack of dollars to do his import business. I can go on.

Afonjas are dumb, Biafra is not about Ojukwu or any other person for that matter. Secondly, you are stvpid to call all igbos IPOB youth,. IPOB youths are resolute in their struggle, that does not stop any other person from supporting a different course

Noneroone:
A yoruba helped to write this fake article

Biafrans dont welcome trump just as a help against north but as a help in their self determination quest. The article is in effect vacouos as it does not state the aim of the protesters other than curbing "muslim influence". Reuters allowed them to mess up their article.

Nonsense!

AFONJAs are always mischievous, BBC and NY Times have reported the real reason behind the protest i.e. Trump supported self determination during brexit. which one is "help curb muslim influence" again??

laudate:
They are everywhere. Yet, they still want Biafra!! _smh.... It appears all the people in your post have never heard of the phrase: "Charity begins at home." Why have they refused to stay at home, and unleash their economic prowess at home?

Refused to stay at home?? Is Nigeria not their home?? One Nigeria has consequences, deal with it

In case you are yoruba man as can be seen by your tantrums on street names, (yorubas have complained same out of inferiority of complex and ignorance) then let me show you yoruba street names in Enugu

PaulKillerman:
my brother, the thing tire me... I am not a tribalist or ethnic jingoist , but the truth gotta be said, Igbo's are just a problem , a serious problem to everybody around them and even to themselves ... Go to a land disrespect and marginalise the locals, usurping their lands without respect or regards for their culture or norms... I just don't get, and u dare not try that in their land, they will kill u.

Imagine most of our streets, roads , villages and towns were renamed by them, and the names we initially assigned to such places relegated to the background... I have never seen such insensitivity and irresponsibility blatantly exhibited by any ... I just don't get..
And they will never see a problem within themselves , but are quick to point at others with worthless accusations

Lol, there are more Igbos in Kano than warri. there are more igbos in Sokoto than Calabar. There are igbo streets in Kano and Lagos, Sabon gari kano is all littered with igbo named streets, a certain part of the city was renamed Nomansland and the Kano govt accepted it. Go to Onitsha and see Nupe Square, Bida road (Bida is a town in Niger state), Sokoto road, Kaduna street etc. Go to Aba and see Dan Fodio Road, Mosque road etc. Go to Enugu and see Adelabu street, Ademola street, Brainthwate street etc. Nobody have any apologies for your inferiority complex and lack of adventure. The Niger delta are being deceived of igbo domination while those that tell them to resist igbo domination are begging for igbo domination to their economic advantage. Igbo men just won HOR in Lagos. Hausa and Yorubas are afraid of Igbos leaving their land, they make sure the Niger delta live in panic of the igbos and remain anti igbo, while they (yoruba and hausa) keep tapping from the economic prowess of the igbos. Calabar and Warri has all it takes to beat Lagos, the only reason they will never come close to Lagos is Lack of Igbos. Niger delta minorities live in delusion that somehow igbos will be supressed and this will cure their minority status. Nonsense way to think, the only solution to your minority status is to have a merger with igbos, there are more minorities in the North than south, the fulanis are even killing them but yet, they maintain the Arewa political block with the Fulanis and somehow, they are regarded and Northerners and have a better say than you lots.

nothing new, these was where they stopped before buhari

The Nigerian govt is now being seen as the aggressor
