[s]Nnamdi Kanu

The Arewa Youths Consultative Forum has alleged that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who was said to have gone into hiding, is planning to flee Nigeria through the Cameroonian borders.

The organisation said intelligence reports at its disposal had revealed that the pro-Biafran activist was on his way to the Cameroon borders where he could easily escape from Nigeria.

Kanu and top leaders of IPOB were said to have gone into hiding following the declaration on Friday by the Nigerian Army that IPOB and other pro-Biafran groups were terrorist organisations.

The President of AYCF, Mallam Shettima Yerima, in an interview with The PUNCH on Sunday in Jos, said, “We are aware that he is scheming to find a way of escape through Cameroonian borders, which is easier for him to move and run back to where he belongs.

“He is on his way looking for how to run to Cameroon and that we are aware from our intelligence reports.

[s]Another annoying man was Gen T Ironsi!!! Due to
his greed to control, he abolished regional
system for unitary system (and in the process
causing a setback to the Ijaw agitation for the
creation of Rivers/Niger Delta Region). Today we
are talking of restructuring, federalism etc.
Zik and Ironsi remains the architect of the
structural problem of Nigeria.[/s]..

[b][/b][s]I want to tell my fellow Nigerians a story. There was a country called Sudan, in that country they had a huge land mass and lots of oil which was situated in the south. The South started agitating for their own country because they felt marginalised by the north or were actually marginalised. Instead of them to use their oil to get what they deserved from the north or hold their territorial leaders accountable for not representing well, they decided to fight for self actualization, that is their own country.
In the chaos, there arose a warlord who went to war with the north. He had a lot of support from foreign govts because of the oil and a lot of support from film stars like George Clooney because of the human rights abuses.
This went on for some years and finally they got Their own country which is supposed to be the richest black African country and this country was called South Sudan.
You will think they've finally found Utopia but no, they are worse off than when they were in Sudan... Do you ask why? here are a few reasons
1. They had territorial leaders who should have fought for them to get more from the nation of Sudan but instead they were lining their pockets.
2. They did not care that these leaders were not developing their region because they were more concentrated on their common enemy the North.
3. They didn't care that this warlord had no discernible leadership skill, never tried to build a road, school or even a makeshift clinic.
4. This warlord never told them how he planned to make South Sudan great apart from the rhetoric and grandstanding against the govt of the day.
5. There were atrocities committed by The warlord but it was ok because he was fighting for them.
There are many more but you get my point.
Today that country is still very poor and the ppl are still refugees in other countries, because the warlord is fighting his deputy and spends most of their money on arms.
The people don't have a common enemy anymore, so they realise their differences which is ethnic, religious, social and financial.
I can go on and on but I will stop here, a word they say is enough for the wise.#ONENigrian[/s]#

[s]Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex socio-political umbrella group of the Igbo on Saturday rose its Imeobi meeting to endorse the decision of the South East Governors to proscribe the Biafran separatist group, IPOB.

The group, however, faulted Nigeria army’s declaration of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as a terrorist organisation, insisting that IPOB is not a terrorist group...

kahal29:
[s]The South East Governors Forum said Saturday that its Friday’s decision to proscribe the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) followed its realization that Nnamdi Kanu had lost control of the group.

Besides,it said IPOB had lost focus of its original idea and had veered off into causing unnecessary tension and killing.

The result is that investors are scared from doing business in the region.

Throwing light yesterday on the forum’s decision, its chairman and Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi said IPOB’s activities were unduly heightening tension in the Southeast and the governors had no choice than to halt the trend.

Umahi spoke to reporters in Abakaliki.

He said tension had since eased as the proscription began to achieve the desired result.

“The activities of IPOB in the Southeast have denied us of foreign investments and it is very important that our people should understand that and should know that,” he said.

“There are things you do that you have control over and so you work about things you have control over and leave the rest that you don’t have control over.

“ Nobody wants to come to a place that is under tension that’s why we want keep pressing Hong peace.”

The governor said that based on evidence before him, soldiers did not attack IPOB last Sunday as claimed by Kanu.

On the contrary,according to him,it was IPOB members who threw bottles and stones at soldiers who were passing by Kanu’s street.

“When you start a small fire, it can go very far and become difficult to control,” he said.

“The IPOB activities were gradually getting out of control of Nnamdi Kanu.

“ Soldiers were passing when IPOB members started throwing stones and other objects at them and it sparked off the clash between the group and the military.”

He narrated how an IPOB sympathizer sent out the telephone numbers of Southeast governors,Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and others.

“And all our people could do was calling us to insult us and talk to us anyhow,” the governor fumed.

“These are people that never experienced any war in their lives.”

He said the lives of Northerners and other non indigenes in the state and the Southeast zone must be guaranteed at all times and warned that security agencies had been directed to deal decisively with anyone attempting to cause a breach of the peace.

“Our focus is how to save the life of every Nigerian.We believe in a united Nigeria. Lives of people are involved and we must not play politics with that”, he said.

“Anybody that wants to foment trouble must be crushed and I want the security agencies to beef up security around all the non-indigenes in the state and to report to me of any problem because we must maintain the peace.”

The governor asked Igbo youths to stop insulting President Muhammadu
Buhari and leaders of the country.

He said that the Northern Governors will soon visit the Southeast to further ease tension in the country and promote national unity.

A similar visit to the North will be undertaken by Southeast governors.

He maintained that the majority of Igbo are opposed to secession from Nigerian and that all they want is to be treated fairly and justly in the county.

His words:”That is why we are all talking about restructuring.

“There is no part of this country that is not feeling marginalized somehow and that is why all the zones are setting up committees on restructuring.”

Umahi however noted that injustice or marginalization should not be an excuse for secession, maintaining that dialogue should be the best way to resolve and redress all differences.

On operation Egwu Eke II (Python dance II), the governor said the exercise was never targeted at IPOB but intended to curb crime, especially kidnapping and armed robbery, in the zone.

Heads of security agencies in the state and some Principal Officers of the state government attended the briefing.

[/b]“Y[s]ou see young Igbo men standing in front of military tanks with stone, bottle and sticks. You are calling them stupid people because they are not afraid.

They are not stupid, you just don’t know what is going on.

When u see human standing firm in front of a greater power, it’s not stupidity, but a psychological state of mind that is very dangerous to any society.

It’s a state of mind that represent hopelessness and all or nothing attitude. It is the same state of mind that ensured there is no peace in Middle East today. It’s a fanatical state of mind than can’t be conquered by any amount of military operations.[b]
This is an entire new perspective, and only diplomacy can work on their minds not operation python dance[/s].

[s]This IPOB people should let people actually understand things here, am not even sure if people are truly dying anymore, because they'll claim it, the army will denounce it. I believe they are trying to play the victim in order to get what they want, but that's not how things work. you can't just hold a flag with the sun and yell the name of an inexistent country and think it will just happen.[/s]

[s]This is happening now. This has proved how powerful and connected Nnamdi Kanu is[/s].

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:
[s]According to report sent to our media outlet by a credible but anonymous source, the leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been spotted in a rundown brothel at the outskirt of Cotonu, Benin Republic.

According to our source who insist we keep his anonymity, Kanu, who fled his country home of Afara Ukwu in the wake of the Nigeria Army's Exercise Python Dance, arrived Cotonu in the early hours of today, dressed only in an underpant.

It is reported that Kanu has implored former president Olusegun Obasanjo to help beg president Buhari on his behalf. It is not yet known if President Buhari who is currently out of the country has accepted Nnamdi Kanu's plea, but we promise to update you as more details emerge.[/s]

HungerBAD:

nairavsdollars:
[s]Runaway IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu should come to Lagos and learn strategy from OPC National Coordinator, Otunba Gani Adams. Years after Bakassi Boys is gone, OPC is still standing aND Adams was even a delegate to the 2014 national conference. It takes great leadership skills to run a successful organization as well as take on the FG. Kanu definitely lacks these skills...[/s]

Deiok:
[s]Aggrieved.
NO MATTER HOW AGGRIEVED WE
ARE, WE MUST TELL OURSELVES THE
TRUTH.
This is an intelligent piece of
writing from an anonymous Igbo. Read:
I, like many other Igbos have
stood on the side lines for far too
long, wishing this Biafran breeze
fizzles away, but it’s now
dangerously turning into a major storm that constitutes an
existential threat to Igbo
civilization as we know it. Those
of you IPOBians, Sympathizers,
Rumour Mongers, Facebook
Warriors, Facebook megastars, Opinion Leaders and
Propagandists escalating the
already tense situation must
understand that in the end, you'll
all be losers, victims and at the
same time in more bondage than you ever were. Not my wish
anyway, but the perceptible
reality. No war ever got won by
emotions. Preparation and
strategy does, ask any battle-
tested soldier. Even the best of them get eaten. Little by little you
guys are doing everything
possible to attract avoidable
conflict to our region hoping that
the international community will
intervene. You'll be in for a shocker when this meal you've
cooked for so long is served up.
Understand this, I have monitored
many revolutionary conflicts
around the world and know this
for a fact, the international community foot-drags at less than
a snail pace, if at all, before
attempting any interventions in
internal conflicts in a sovereign
nation and that includes America
and Israel you're hoping on. War is a huge liability and no Country
wants to meddle. The best they
give these days are reliefs not
military aids and that is after
many must have died including
those who started the fire. I watched it happen to Libyans,
Yemenis, Syrians and till now
they still don't have peace.
Besides, you’d be stupid to
believe that those countries, if
ever there is any, promising to support Nnamdi Kanu are really
in for it. Some of them want to
use him to initiate conflict and sell
their weapons to both sides and
make blood dollars. War is an all-
comers affair and all kinds of demonically vicious players come
to the slimy field to play the
hellish game of blood and death.
In this case, Boko Haram that has
largely been caged by the army
will break free to roam with ambitions to finally establish their
Caliphate across Nigeria, all
because the Army now fighting on
two fronts can no longer
concentrate on them having
become too stretched. Guess what, they’ll come with ISIS on
their back. Nigerian Army will be
fighting to keep Nigeria together
on one front, Boko Haram (ISIS
Nigerian Branch) with Caliphatist
ambition on the other and Biafra with secessionist ambition on yet
another front. That was how
Syria got so complex till date and
any war in Nigeria today will
have a similar picture. Whoever
gets overwhelmed will face the other. It will be a long and difficult
journey and unlike the first civil
war without Boko Haram in the
equation, no one can predict the
tortuous end. Other Jihadists from
across Africa and Middle-East will join in as they always do
wherever there’s instability to
advance their different brands of
Islam. In the end you’ll leave
Nigeria and discover you’re
fighting other strangers you don’t even know how they
came into the picture.
The big boys (international
players) like Iran will be there to
get there pound of flesh from
Nigeria in revenge for the Shiites, Saudi will be there to defend
Nigeria, and all will play.
Weapons merchants will the start
smiling to the banks. Guess where
the theatre of war would be,
Igboland. We must not allow this! Libyans thought they were
fighting Ghaddafi but after
Ghaddafi, they discovered other
strangers fighting them to
establish their different brands of
Islam. Same thing in Syria. The words of Saif Al Islam Ghaddafi
(Ghaddafi’s first son) keeps
ringing in my ears as he
forewarned Libyans of these grim
possibilities, but okuko nti ike
nánu ife n’ite ofe. I never took him seriously at the time but in
retrospect, I now see he knew
better because it panned out just
as he predicted and Libya still
isn’t out of the woods. That’s
the way it is these days of jihad consciousness across the world.
If you ever experience war,
you'll never take peace for
granted. War is not a movie as
some of you think. You could be
the first victim. Can you stomach watching your loved ones
maimed, killed, raped, tortured,
starve to death under slow and
painful circumstances? Those are
the grim realities of war and in
Africa, it is executed with luciferous savagery and
psychopathic sadism. The worst
of peace is still better than the
best of wars.
Funny enough, most of our chest-
beating IPOBians will likely die off within the first month or two of
the conflict leaving those who
knew nothing or are on the
sidelines to defend themselves.
There will be nowhere to run to
as no country in West Africa will agree to accept the ocean-sized
volume of refugees. When the
Rwandan genocide was looming,
everyone was running his mouth
until the death hurricane they
courted so hard swept across their country, they wailed and
shouted for international
community to intervene but none
came. That's the way it is. Paul
Kagame, their current President it
was who ended it. And they vowed to “never again”. They
learnt from history and have
completely removed tribalism
from every facet of national life
and are admirably making
astounding progress as one of Africa's best. My advice, agreed,
Buhari hasn't treated us as well
as we wanted, but wait till 2019
and make amends.
I have listened to Nnamdi Kanu on
several videos and my conclusion is that he is plain naive on how
things roll in a conflict situation.
On one occasion he bragged that it
would take him only two weeks
to reach Sokoto in the event of
war. I don't know what weapons and extra-terrestrial strategies
he has to execute that. War is an
unpredictable undertaking that
you'll be ignorant to estimate
which direction it goes. As it is, he
has no weapons just yet and is bragging. Many of you believe
him and even ascribe infallibility
to his words. I have lived a couple
of years abroad and what some
of you don't know is that many of
our people there egging you on don't have immigration papers
and are praying for an outbreak
of hostilities in Nigeria so they
can claim asylum on the back of it.
We must advise ourselves on this
current path of self-annihilation. Some of you think Biafra will be
the end of all your problems, so
South Sudan thought, as did
Eritrea, but sorry it will be the
beginning of new ones. Now take
this to the Bank, it will even be far more difficult for any country
to touch any conflict here with a
long spoon than it was in the
sixties. Reason? Then there was
the prospect of oil but today oil is
out of fashion and even as it is, Nigeria is begging for buyers and
nobody's buying. Osinbajo said
that much a few days back. Now,
tell me, if they spend their money
intervening in your conflict to
save your asses, what will they get in return? The best they can
do for you is to condemn what is
going on, then more out-pouring
of condemnations and then more
unleashing of floodgates of
condemnations, but NO ACTION while you die in numbers.
You often argue that a call for
referendum is not a call for war. I
agree completely! Very true!
Referendum is a right not a
privilege. Even Buhari asserted that much in favour of Palestine
when he addressed the UN.
However, it is plain naivety to
assume that all that is enshrined
in international law is
enforceable. UN has no mechanism of enforcement.
Countries and Dictators constantly
flout it and nothing happens. Even
if something were to happen
you’ll all have decomposed in
your graves by then. A show of bravado will not lead you
anywhere Umunnem. Call me a
coward if you like, but Chinua
Achebe told us that we often
stand in the house of a coward to
point at where a brave man ONCE lived. In any case, isn’t it
foolishness to challenge an army
that has been stockpiling arms
since 1960 when you on the other
hand haven’t bought a bullet
just yet? Papa Achebe puts it this way, “Only a foolish man can go
after a leopard with his bare
hands”. As impulsive and as
tempting as it may get, tone down
your rhetorics, invectives,
acerbics, and cursing on social media. Cherish the peace you now
have at least Igbos are not
worse-off than other regions
despite never being in power.
While there is grinding poverty in
other regions, the highest income per capita in the country is posted
by Anambra and other Igbo states
ain’t doing badly. Our people
live well, build better houses
compared to other regions and it's
all a miracle given the scratch we started from after the war. Why
do we want to throw all that
away because of ego and start all
over again? Is it a curse? The
Hausas though having been in
power do not even live a better quality of life than Igbos. Let's be
wise and not give opportunity to
destroy all we've achieved as a
people.
I condemn in the strongest of
terms the killing of unarmed people by Nigerian soldiers, killer
herdsmen, and do not by any
means say Nigeria is what we
want it to be but understand
Biafra wasn't Ojukwu's first
choice. At Aburi his choice was a return to true federalism which
he knew was a better deal for us
than secession. Nigeria failed to
honour that agreement and
continued the killings forcing him
to declare a Biafran Republic to save his people from slaughter
and it's understandable. Nigeria
owes us tons of apologies, I
agree. But brothers, let's think
again! A Biafra today will even be
far less economically viable than it would have been then. Reason
is because then we would have
used oil money to jump-start the
new country but today oil is so
unsellable to the extent that
Venezuela with arguably the largest reserves is grappling with
severe economic problems. Kick-
starting a new country from the
basics would be painfully slow
and may outlive our generation to
even get the basic things in place. Arewa youths know that, the
reason they have asked Nigerian
Government to let Igbos go, only
for Nnamdi Kanu to start asking
for Benue and Rivers because he
knows that Igboland alone isn’t viable. Asking for Benue is
laughable because they were
never part of Biafra and have
made it clear to all, as did
different Rivers groups that they
don’t want Biafra. A handful of his collaborators from those
regions pledging allegiance to him
does not equate to an entire
people. Majority of their people
hate this Biafran idea and have
made that much clear. Some funny IPOBians are also hoping on
Asari Dokubo and FFK. What a
funny bunch being used to fight
other people’s fight. Why
won’t they take up the gauntlet
or is it only us that is suffering injustice? Don't even think
corruption will suddenly
disappear in a new Biafra as
some naive IPOBians hope. If they
give you Biafra today, your eyes
will open up to new unpleasant realities many of you haven't
even factored-in in your agitation
but then it would have been late. I
know voices like mine are often
loathed and cursed by IPOBians
but some of us who know the truth can no longer keep quiet
while you drag us all into
avoidable chaos. I owe our people
the truth as I see it.
Curse me all you want, it's OK.
Umunnem, ka ako’n’uche na udo chianu biko! Patience solves
all things, with time. Let our
people think again and know
what is looming. Stop your
facebook and social media
vituperations, cursing, grand standing and join me to educate
others. De-escalate this situation
and speak words of kindness to
others. Even mighty America de-
escalates after tensions with
Russia. It’s called wisdom. North Korea provokes South
Korea most times but the South
always de-escalates tensions
knowing that the North hasn’t
got anything to lose in the event
of war but beautiful South Korea will lose quite a lot. In our case,
all the beautiful houses and
streets in Igboland will be razed
to the ground. Why should we be
starting afresh all the time? It will
even be more painful if we lose again as was the case in 1970. As
it is, it’s not looking good!

Kanu is always setting a trap, abi?

He knew it would cost Igbo lives but not the life of his own family?

Continue setting traps and costing human lives.

We are ready to cheer you on.

Remember that all the traps that he is setting are being recorded by his foolish supporters. Those recordings will eventually hang him dead.

In conclusion, Kanu is the man who kept his family safe, but used Igbo lives to win an egotistical ambition[/s].
