Nigeria is falling

doctokwus:
Didn't read beyond the first question and I now ask my own question:
When did protests in some states in the Southeast and 2cities in the SS now become "protests all over Nigeria "?

You will soon know

Nigeria will explode soonest

We, of Nigerian American descent, Nigerians, and Americans living in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, are very concerned about the disturbing silence of President Barack Obama and the United States Government to the current pro-Biafra protests sweeping through South-East and South-South Nigeria.

The matter is especially disturbing because over three people have been confirmed dead from stray bullets by Nigerian soldiers during the peaceful protests that have seen as much as 10,000 youths storm the streets of Port Harcourt.

What started as an arrest of a single man, Nnamdi Kanu, by the Directorate of State Security (DSS) has turned into a situation that is without a doubt a bomb waiting to detonate, and will cause massive unrest in Nigeria as more protests are being staged around the country, and the Nigerian government has shown no signs of actions to quell the crisis whatsoever.

It is with a heavy heart that we remind President Barack Obama and the United States government that these same "Biafra" sentiments now intoxicating the jobless and irritated mostly "IGBO" youths to a frenzy on the streets of Imo, Owerri, Enugu, Asaba and Port- Harcourt led to one of the most devastating wars in Nigeria's history: the Biafran war, which caused the alarming loss of up to three million lives.

We also want to remind President Obama of the dangerous connection of the "Biafra territory" to the Niger Delta which is currently suffering a re-surge in violence as a result of the chronic poverty and catastrophic oil pollution which fuelled the earlier Niger-Delta conflicts and have remained largely unsolved.

Recent threats by Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Sadiq Abubakar to crush the pro-Biafra protesters with military action, violence is most assuredly not the solution and will quickly escalate the crisis.

We urge President Barack Obama and the United States government to implore on the Nigerian military that military brutalization and human rights abuse by the Nigerian security agencies is not the way to go. The right to peaceful protest is an integral part of a democratic society, which both the U.S and Nigeria have fought tirelessly to ensure Nigeria rightfully becomes.

Corruption is without a doubt, the biggest impediment to growth in Africa as President Obama and several key United States officials have reiterated several times. This is why we are highly disappointed that President Barack Obama and the United States government have decided to turn a blind eye to the fact that both APC candidates in the upcoming Kogi and Bayelsa state governorship elections have been indicted by Nigeria's anti-corruption agency, the EFCC for monumental corruption charges running into billions of Naira.

In a democratic society, we believe it's not too much to ask that candidates who want to run for sensitive positions such as Governorship positions, at least clear all current criminal charges against them before the government allows they take roles of leadership.

We call on President Barack Obama to remember his position and the mantle of global leadership that comes with the office he occupies, and hence act swiftly on this matter.

We call on President Obama to create a special commission to intervene in the Pro-Biafra upheavals and also implore on the Nigerian government the immense dangers of putting men with huge corruption charges worth billions of Naira as the governors of state if Nigeria wants to ever be free from the corruption that has ravaged it to become the skeleton it is today.

We Nigerian Americans, Nigerians, and Americans in Nigeria believe this is the right time for President Barack Obama and the United States government to act before the situation gets out of control.

Well constructed rebuttal

BLOCKED: Almost no yorubas left on my FB page. I will not SUBSCRIBE to tribalism against the Igbos and ‪#‎Biafra‬. We killed THEM and boasted about it. Gen Obasanjo, Col Rotimi, Gen Ibrahim Taiwo etc etc. Oluwole Rotimi was fired by Yaradua as NG Ambassador to USA for his Biafra comment to Ojo Maduweke Canadian Ambassador, OBJ still boasting “We will do to Boko Haram what we did to Biafra-OBJ 2015”, Ibrahim Taiwo assassinated same day as Gen Murtala Muhammed on a Friday the 13th an evil day in 1976. I no longer spend the N20 note in Nigeria. These were not heroes. Ojukwu was the hero. It took years for me to know that. My father was the only Yoruba leader at his funeral. Those yorubas who say they saw Tinubu there are hallucinating. Both Taiwo and MM ordered Nigerian Army into Asaba and killed 700 innocent civilan men, raped their wives, daughters and ruined the town. We as Yoruba youth were brainwashed into seeing them as HEROES. Today’s youth must be told the truth. History is no longer in schools. It must be told. If you were not born 1967-70 and watched 3 years of the war on WNTV now NTA, u need to STFU. Those begging me on Twitter will be ignored. The Igbo children dancing in this collage are Yoruba. STOP YOUR TRIBALISM.
