In this vacuum of political meaning, Radio Biafra’s simplistic and incoherent message of disruption, its one-sided and one-dimensional rendition of history, its manipulation of popular myths and grievances, appeal to some, especially given the Nigerian tendency to scapegoat other groups for individual and collective shortcomings. The pirate station is tapping into a sense of victimhood and the persecution complex which is the all-purpose narrative which various groups use as leverage for demanding concessions in Nigerian politicsChris, in all honesty, anyone who says there is vacuum of political meaning in Nnamdi Kanu's broadcasts is as well saying there is vacuum of truth in what has become of Ndigbo in their land and political situation since 1970. It will be correct to say Chris Ngwodo is playing to the usual 'Nigeria' gallery. No fault of his. That Nnamdi Kalu is 'disrupting' the business-as-usual attitutde of Ndi-Nigeria toward Ndigbo is a welcome development to the millions of Ndigbo minus Chris Ngwodo. I find it difficult to identify the 'myths' in the well known situation of Ndigbo. Is it the pogrom, the genocide, political exclusion and the dearth of federal presence? Which one of these is/was a myth? Then, how could any reasonable person infer that Kalu is 'manipulating' what is a well known truth People like General Gowon, Femi Aribisala, etc. have all attested to the fact that there is a very good evidence of persecution of Ndigbo and to which the Gen. even suggested that the time has come for a president of Igbo extraction. But to the wise Igbo man, Chris Ngwodo, it is all " a sense of victimhood and the persecution complex " The journey to any kind of political freedom is not for the lilly-livered. I'll implore those that are offended by this piece of Chris Ngwodo not to tinker with any kind of sanction against him; anything that'll put him in harms way. There will always be his types |
ddippset:Yeah! That's sign of the times. Remember there was once empires like Rome, Egypt and so on! Sign of the changing times. From now to the next 20 years more will happen. This is just natural law of time and change. You can't hold it steady! |
obailala:You're just being silly for i don't believe anyone human being enjoys instability when there is fairness and justice in her environment. |
The idi.ot thinks the situation today was like the 80s when they ruled with intimidation. Today, every Nigerian is a world-press unto himself/herself to the extent that with an inexpensive phone he will inform the whole world in realtime of what's happening in Nigeria. Technology and the new world order have made it impossible for old tyrants like Buhari to control the flow of information outside Nigeria. Radio Biafra is just one example. The world is now listening directly to Nigerians that it has become impossible to roll back the time to the old born to rule brutality. Restructure Nigeria or the amalgamation will continure to be a scary and shaky one for the inhabitants and foreigners alike. |
ALISMILE:Raise the same topic after the rainy season, by then we would have known whether any "progress" now was as a result of the rains or not. |
Really? Gowon, to be honest, Igbos are better off on their own. Come on! Why not give us an example of how your own plateau people have been enjoying the bounties of one peaceful and prosperous Nigeria? Make a convincing argument or shut it! |
azimibraun:That is why i said 'if you will ever understand me'. It is not about speaking. It is about communication. You have no business being a president when you cannot communicate with your hosts. We'll rather have this mai-suya travel with English translators while he comforts himself with his native fulfude or hausa than his ever shameful showing outside that country. |
azimibraun:The problem is that the idi.ot can't express himself. Presidency is much more than what is on your mind. It is a stage craft. How you ariculate your position in the world stage more than anything else brings respect to and your subjects. If you'll ever understand me! |
The idi.ots admire Uhuru Kenyatta as if giving the chance in Nigeria they'll will vote in his kind without questioning his tribe. The world has finally taken note of the curse placed on ye Nigerians with the voting in of a Buhari to lead you. What ye sow ye shall reap. |
But for how long, how many more decades will dissenting voices be wrong and only Nigeria right? Groups getting bolder by the day, challenging the status quo, while on the other hand Nigeria's image and respect continues to diminish around the world. The people of this country should sit down and discuss the mode of their co-habitation. The people have bottled so much and too long ![]() |
prewty:It was like the host was trying to break down the English to a comprehensible level for the Daura herdsman. I've said it before that this man should quickly appoint a foreign minister and save the people holding the passports of that country the constant embarrassment. To the ears of the world, he's just said he's gonna treat some sections of the entity he leads special. What a brain! |
front247:It is not because he is 72. There are many 78 year olds out there with super memory. But unfortunately, Buhari is amongst those seniors with memory problems which he has exhibited the traits in recent time. 'All Progressive CONFIDENCE', 'All Nigeria People congress', 'West Germany', 'President Michel' - This is unacceptable. He's got to address this PR embarassment and very quick. Let his deputy or someone else handle most of the public engagements, please. Appoint a good Foreign Minister and focus on the burning domestic matters! |
I love the city THEN, it was safe Enugu comes close to her in scenery and life style |
Last month it was "There's a limit to what i can do at 72" And now this... Cognitive decline is very much present And how will Buhari handle the coming FOUR years, being in the age group where every three months of life exerts its declining effects in the human body? |
Even Obama has warned the primitive old Buhari that "a divided country dosen't succeed, Nigeria must respect divertsity". By refusing to respect the decision of the diverse peoples of the contraption called Nigeria, it again fits into the saying that "Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make them mad" |
The question remains: Where is Buhari standing side by side with his host and receiving questions from the press corps, which is the tradition, standard procedure for a visiting head of state to the US ![]() |
A divided country never succeeds. Turn the diversity of Nigeria to source of strength, Obama tells PMB.Conversely, the statement is directed to Buhari that Nigeria will not survive should the East pull away. Obama did not say division is illegal. He was only inferring that respecting diversity and not acting the usual born to rule , brings success. I have said it before that Nigeria should dialogue with Ndigbo and the rest of the lower Niger nations. The key word here is RESPECT DIVERSITY. The actions of Nnamdi Kanu was in no way antagonized. Obama knows the law |
JustCalMeDBoss:That's what i mean |
Quite uncommon for a president not to grant his fellow visiting president the honor of a joint press conference. Assigning his foreign minister for that role simply indicates the visiting president is not an equal. Either the visiting president or the geographical expression he represents is questionable |
The taste of the pudding is in the eating. The abracadabra is getting too much....let the Burantashi get down to work and let's see what he brings to the table that's different from his predecessors ![]() |

onenaira3:If they had just kept quiet like GEJ... The problem Nigeria is having about Biafra is that they are still viewing things from the 1960s prism. The war has been fought for them by the world powers and they won. But then, the world order has changed significantly that it would be difficult to recreate the diplomatic, emotional, technological advantage it had over this issue in the 60s. These Biafrans are in huge numbers across the world. Just like in Nigeria, they are visible in their chosen abodes and carreers across the world. They've managed to corner the attention of powerful global media houses like Fox News, NYTimes etc. Their struggle is gaining global attention even as they are the most populous, largest group of people in the world seeking self determination/independence today, (40M+), a big advantage for them before the world community. Nigeria should swallow her pride and negotiate not with only Ndigbo but the whole of the lower niger nations. She still has the time. |
The improvement shall be confirmed or not after the rains stopped. |
acunon:Really? Exageration of self-worth. Anambra is safe and quiet that the class of Jim Iyke shouldn't bother about their kobo kobo. Anambra is safe. |
These things (positions) are so transient as they come and go just like the appointer. If they meant anything, Nigerians should have seen the positive impact on the regions of the appointees and appointers since the 70s. Let the going in cycles continue, that's just it. It was the Yorubas the other day. All in all, no progress |
nunzk:Yea, that's what i mean. It's not useful to die for a Nigeria that will certainly achieve no nationhood. His death was all about the current unworkable Nigeria and there was no need to take such a risk. This country is not worth taking any risk for. May his soul rest in peace. |
MuguliciousMUGU:Obasanjo's son, Bisoye, is married to an Ebonyian, so there is some degree of interest albeit not very significant |
pete4real:God does not support a structure like Nigeria that is built on injustice. Which of the army will remember this young man many years to come in the face of the reality confronting this contraption? It is simply a wasteful death, i insist! |
