The United States is a stolen land where the indigenous peoples have been wiped out. So the USA is not the standard.
Nigeria is a very different country, it’s a federation of several disparate peoples and nations with their own customs, traditions, culture and identity.
The constitution of Nigeria will now HAVE to be amended to prevent the ongoing abuse and absolute violation of the provisions by one certain particular tribe. It is getting out of hand. Why should they prefer my ancestral land to their own? And making constant provocative attempts to violate and usurp my traditional rulership? The constitution will need to put in restrictions and safeguards to curtail and stop the abuse!

Geekhard:
Brilliant move by MNK. Firstly anyone and everyone except for a minor and a mentally challenged person is a competent and compellable witness under the Evidence Act. So if the court declines to issue the subpoenas for those listed, the court would be seen as biased and denying him fair hearing which is a serious matter in a criminal trial. Secondly if the court grants his application and issues the subpoenas for the compellable witnesses, they will have no choice but to show up which will be hugely embarrassing and inconvenient for
those mentioned. So they will likely decline on grounds of health, national duty or unavailability, which MNK will obviously try to use to make for lack of fair hearing as his witnesses refused to show up. Thirdly if in the unlikely event that they show up, the optics of these heavy weights as MNK's witnesses will be something the State will not be comfortable with as it will be in the funny situation of cross-examining its own former or current agents. Meanwhile MNK will come up with tricky questions that will exonerate him to these witnesses This will play to MNK's advantage as it is pitting the State against itself. The government might be forced to issue a Nolle Prosequi in order to seek for a political solution.

Whichever way it cuts, this is a masterstroke from MNK. Let's see how the prosecution neutralises this move by MNK.

I already gave an example with the former chief of army staff Buratai.

What you are saying is exactly what lawyers study in school for years. They are not expecting any of the witnesses to agree with them, but any answer the witnesses give will help Nnamdi Kanu's case one way or the other.

pembisco:
How can statements that are as clear as ABC be taken out of context? Even if they say it's out of context, the judge are not daft na

This thinking is for those who fail to accept we are a federation of several nations. This is indigeneship is emphasised in the constitution. Craze dey worry some people I swear. You can’t belong where you don’t belong. You are NOT lagosian and that matter is settled. Think home!

shortgun:
Oga I think you really need someone who's more educated to explain to you how the legal system of a country work.

The article clearly stated that there are two categories of witnesses in Nnamdi Kanu's list.
One of the category is compellable witnesses...this category of witnesses, like the TY Danjuma you mentioned will be compelled(forced) by the courts to appear before it. It doesn't matter weather they are willing or not.
In a country, nobody should be seen to be above the law. Not the president, Not even the federal government!

Gerhards:
Is TY Danjuma bigger than the court, we really get so many primitive people in this Country

Honestly, the backwardness of una country Nigeria has eaten away common sense and good sense of judgement from some of you, plus tribal hatred and stupidity.

You all were shouting open your defense and stop running away from trial few days ago, now kanu has agreed to open his defense and has listed his witnesses, and you guys started crying. This shows how foolish some of you can be.

Do you know what is terrorism charges, do you know the punishment it carries ?, Something that if kanu fails to defend himself properly, he will be sentenced to death....of course to the joy of you igbo haters.

Or you think kanu will be foolish to open a weak defense in a court that has been mandated to convit him ? , He will defend himself in a strong way that the world will see the truth, and if he is wrongly convicted, the world will know...or you don't know that there are people monitoring this trial all over the world.

Those 23 listed witnesses must appear before the court, especially the compellable ones, wether they like it or not. And to cap it up, they will be subpoenaed, so no room for mago mago ... Everybody will feel the heat. The most beautiful thing about it is that the prosecution has closed his case, so can't do anything about it anymore.

You guys should continue crying, infact, cry us a river, the witnesses must appear before the court...case defense has started...osaru oku.

pembisco:
Is like you don't get it. These witnesses he mentioned said so many things with video evidence. He wants to use what they said in his defense

aylipple:
Lol. Malam Bolaji Abdullahi is one funny opposition spox.

APC jittery over ADC's "popularity" in no other state than Ekiti? If ADC too try, dem go get reach10k votes for Ekiti; as it were today, there's no opposition to APC in Ekiti, NONE!

Ofunaofu:
If they aren’t jittery, why are they sending thugs and hoodlums to burn down their office?

ejimatic:
ADC cannot even win in Kwara State where Bolaji comes from and OSUN where Aregbesola comes from.

Will ADC win Anambra? Let wait and see!

Thanks for your Honest response;

Candid.Truthful.Broad-minded

Having lived in the US,you are mentally and intellectually Refined enough to know that it's normal or lawful for Igbos to have an Ethnic or Cultural Associations or Unions amongst themselves while living far from home.

That actually means that those who're at Conflict with Igbo Unions and Associations may not be Mentally and intellectually Refined and are therefore likely to be Uncivilised,Unexposed,Unenlightened,Primitive and Crude....

...despite whatever "Education" they claim to have!...

My personal observation though

Talking about the "indegenous Communities" Often displeased with Igbo Unions and Associations.

For me I ask; Which indigenous Communities? How many? Where and Where?

I think that Out of the about 29 non-Igbo states in Nigeria,only in Lagos...and now...Edo do we hear that indigenous Communities are displeased that Igbos have Associations.

Do you hear that in Kano,Kaduna,Kogi,Benue,Oyo,Etc?

The one of Ghana,I'll tell you a little about it...

By the way...why should these indigenous Communities be Displeased with Igbo Unions and Associations ?

Could it be a Primitive "fear" of Igbo "Domination" or something?

It all started in Lagos When Tinubu and his People Joined the APC to help Buhari.

Because for over four Election Circles Igbos have always insisted that Buhari Isn't good enough to rule Nigeria.

But Tinubu needed to build his future Political ambitions with Buhari.

So Tinubu's "Crafty" and "Strategic" Politicking began it's hostilities towards Igbos who preffered Jonathan(Before Jonathan was Yar'adua,Obasanjo..all Tinubu's enemies)

He'll send out his minnions and loyalists and jobbers to do the dirty work,while he pretends not to know about it.

See how it all started?

The recent whimpers from Ghana about Igbo Unions was clearly influenced by the same Ethnic Chauvinists within only the Lagos/Southwest axis...Using the Power of the Social-Media and even offline...right in Ghana.

The Ghanians later realised what was happening and backed off!!

What these "indigenous Communities" needs is a firm enlightenment and a strong and decisive response from the Igbos....

..because the Igbos are never going to give up their rights or change their Electoral choices to appease anyone!

I doubt.

spiSeyi:
Kanu is an intelligent guy he wan work penalty for himself . Bcs these witnesses have their international reput at stake while the world is watching

Cherrybae:
This is a smart move by kanu. The compileable witnesses if they appear will exonerate kanu via their testimony and cross examination.

Kanu lawyers are indeed wise.

I wish kanu all the best

DmonSlayer10:
Bro, me too always wonder oo.

Why always them ?

So please,based on this particular issue(Where the Igbos in Edo State are being denied their right of Association which has to have a leader?)

With this issue in context; What do you think is the Answer to "Why always una"?

Where could they possibly have broken the law...or did wrong... here or elsewhere?

Please share your response make we/them learn!

Thanks

Ugwuoke347:
You can say whatever you like. It does not change the fact that the government of Mr Buhari strongly controlled and manipulated photo news about Buhari during his time of long absence. The body-double figure was partly a picture creation of Mr Buhari's handlers.

Smartcitizen:
Hahaha hahaha!

Tell me who Tinubu is going to hand over power in your 2031 and will tell you why the north will never trust a drug criminal for the second time.

If the north can go as far as looking for Jonathan to work with, tell me they will reject the president if our misunderstanding brings it back to them.

You are just saying anything you want because you are a Yoruba person.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Smartcitizen:
Let's see how the north will vote Tinubu and leave their brother.

Buhari was a northerner and he never killed them in the protest like Tinubu did last year.

You will learn by fire by force.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Smartcitizen:
If we are talking it personal, that's how Tinubu and most South West people took it personal in 2015 and worked against Jonathan with the help of the north and won.

Why are you angry with us now?

Are we not entitled to work with the north?

If we are able to get the vice president at the end is it not a better deal?

Please stop being emotional abeg.


🥱🥱🥱

bizzle2:
Lol, do you know the number of your kin who are on death row in Saudi Arabia Your Obas, your pastors are in Jail for fraud and you dare point fingers??
Lmao. These Lagos Ibadan media propaganda have gone on for far too long.
The Igbos would rather spend time being productive than fund media campaigns of calumny like your regressive brothers are doing. Otherwise, the nasty nature of your criminal tendencies would be news for decades.
Your political class is literally made up of convicts and exconvicts.

bizzle2:
Why always una what ? Tell us. . .
What happened in Ghana ? Tell us
This script is too cheap.
Watery propaganda with no substance.
State specifically what it is they have done.
I'm sure if they ask you what Fulanis have done you won't have a problem with listing them , yet you don't see your so called defenders calling them enemies
You ppl seriously can't be this stewpid

Sultanofpiglets:
Una still dey talk about

BIAFRA
Nnamdi Kanu
Simon Ekpa

Even when they are in prison ooo .

That shows fear and shows low level capacity.

You are just a shallow people. See as south Africa team is sharing good for your brothers in your Ogun State with IGR of Florida and California.

bizzle2:
Lol, you f00ls don't know what you are doing to yourself . All in good time the chickens will come home to roost.
The same Igbos have lived and prospered in all these places peacefully before your cocaine sniffing kleptocrat came into power. APC pushing thier ethnic and divisive rhetorics against Igbos is a testament to the threat they are. APC knows the demographic they can NEVER win over.
How many Igbo - Yoruba clashes have occurred in Lagos and Edo ? Zero.
How many Hausa - Yoruba clashes ? Numerous.
But Igbos are the ones who are not peaceful .Lmao
He is looting your future away while you are distracted by ethnic nonsense and renewing your enslavement by pushing the same division that is his tool of conquest

Sultanofpiglets:
You still dey rant...

On Your own

Una must cry blood..e sure die.
