pittoilet:Truth is that since the 12 northern states adopted unconstitutional Sharia criminal codes, then followed by Boko Haram which states that it is fighting for a territory to be governed with Islamic Sharia Criminal codes, the vast land of northern Nigeria has been cleansed of "unbelievers," as millions of southerners deserted northern Nigeria. No country exists like Nigeria where no southerner can comfortably decide to go and settle in the northern part of the country. But because in this govt, Yaribawa's Raji Fashola holds the three most important departments of Works, Housing and Electricity which takes in huge budgetary allocations from Nigeria, some Yaribawa insult Biafrans who want to leave failed Nigeria. |
IS THERE ANY OFFENSE IN ASKING FOR A NEW COUNTRY FROM A MOTHER COUNTRY? NO. ARE IPOB AND OTHERS ASKING FOR BIAFRA BEARING ARMS? NO. SO WHAT ON EARTH IS MAKING BUHARI GOVERNMENT JITTERY TO SEND ARMED SOLDIERS TO CONFRONT UNARMED CITIZENS IF NOT DESIRE FOR ANOTHER GENOCIDE IN NIGERIA? |
Well sometimes you blame some unintelligent Igbos who don't understand that the more the Igbo appear to have slacked in the agitation for restoration of Biafra, the more Buhari clan sees the Igbo as weaklings, trouble makers and undecided people, and thus give the Igbo more and more shiiiit in one Nigeria. It's simple logic. |
okerekeikpo:Those Yaribawa who chose an old and barely literate man like Buhari as president of Nigeria; when Buhari provokes what he is truly looking for in Nigeria - shed blood of the Igbo, the battle shall not be in Igboland alone. Better you tell your choice Buhari the implication of what he is doing with soldiers in Igboland. Only an idiotic sick mind can believe that unity in a country can be achieved with armed forces. |
40kobo77:Sharaaaap, crude oil drinker. Crude oil has turned the brains of most you wan Nigeriyaans to blackmail manufacturers against Biafra. You stay in your kitchen, all you think of is what to say to stop Igbos agitating for Biafra, so that you shall have continue access to crude oil in the Nigerdelta. |
whytepawn1:They are sad because they were indoctrinated to fight a useless fight, a fight without end, unless Nigeria is divided with far north granted and Islamic Sharia country it overtly or covertly asked for when its leaders unilateral adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal codes. It is a religious fight, with millions of northerners sharing the same objective with Boko Haram for a country to be governed with sharia criminal codes. Endless fight. The whole of US and its coallition forces fought the Taliban hands-down in Afghanistan, hardly had the US and its coalition returned home when Taliban recaptured most of Afghanistan. Today the US has started sending new forces to Afghanistan. Nigerian soldiers, especially from the south are sad because north is using them as cannon fodder to guarantee north's interest in crude oil and access to sea, after north set up chain reactions that led to Boko Haram. |
Classicjadon:Injured Nigeria and Nigerians from Boko Haram. Yaribawa does not understand that with sharia criminal codes and Boko Haram, far northern Nigeria has expelled "non believers" from the vast lands of northern Nigeria for a pure Islamic society in northern Nigeria. North still attaches to one Nigeria because of crude oil and access to the sea. Yet Yaribawa continue to antagonize restoration of Biafra. |
Classicjadon:Yaribawas don't understand that Boko Haram and north's adoption of Islamic sharia criminal codes are two sides of the same coin. ... that Boko Haram is an endless fight until Northern Nigeria gets an Islamic republic of Nigeria, or a country in the north ruled with strict Islamic sharia criminal codes. Instead, because of crude oil in the Nigerdelta, Yaribawa attacks agitation for restoration of Biafra left, right and centre |
loomer:Why would any sane government go to rearrest a person who has acquired tens of millions of unarmed followers in the country? A saner government would go for dialogue, but Buhari would rather go to dialogue and monetary bargains with Terrorist Boko Haram. Only a government that is preparing to start genocide woould rearrest Nnamdi Kanu. |
ApexPredator:Undone himself? What does that mean? Correct yourself in case it was an error Nnamdi Kanu statement there that the white man cannot creat country for him is beautiful. Fulani depends on British people to sustain the Nigeria created by the British. Every now and then recently, Buhari clan invites some British high profile politician or soldiers to Abuja to rub shoulders with. They must have believed that they are intimidating Nigeria's restive and secessioinst groups. |
ItsMeAboki:Talk is cheapest for you. Hate speech in Nigeria was started by northern Nigeria which used its military dictators to restructure Nigeria politically and supervised a 1999 constitution imposed on all in a pluralistic country. Since 1999, northern political class draw huge political over-representation from the undue large number of states prolifersted in northrrn region to stop political restructuring in a democracy. Land mass is never used as criterion to create new states or local government areas or provinces from the existing federal units in a country where different groups formed a country. Nigeria is a goner, no matter the plot of Buhari clan. NORTHERN NIGERIA STARTED HATE SPEECH IN NIGERIA. |
manciti:Words of a pacifist. Instead, Jihadists in the North and SW of Nigeria threaten war, not accept referendum, the ingredient of democracy used in democratic countries, including African countries, to deal with issues where millions of people are involved, like in Biafra issue. What do the Jihadists and parasites want? War. At the end of the war they crave, they shall be losers, this is the 21st Century. |
belindar:Parasite. Britain restructures its political process on nearly daily basis to contain the wishes of many separatist nations in Great Britain. Britain does not threaten the separatists with the type of "trouble" you insinuate here. Does Britain your second country keep its unity by acquiring jet fighters and bombers ready to shoot separatist groups in order to keep one united Britain? Your British citizenship is suspect. |
If President Muhammadu Buhari-led govt had fished out and jailed the trigger-happy soldiers or policemen who shot unarmed Biafra activists ..... perhaps there could have been a consolation that justice was served. But Buhari as commander-of-Nigeria's armed forces stayed aloof, believing that the lives of mainly Christian Igbos value nothing. |
mustylique:Deluded. Sudan's President has remained hunted for genocide during his administration. He can't move to any country without risk of arrest. Your President Buhari of Nigeria acquires Mushack fighter jets from Pakistan. What are the jets for? Does Nigeria have invading external forces? Is it not to propagate genocide against Biafra separatists? |
mynd1:If a Christian American cannot come to Nigeria to arrest killers of unarmed Nigerian citizens, why would today's Muslim-ruled Nigeria buy 10 Mushack Jet fighter-bombers from Muslim Pakistan? Nigeria has no external enemy. Muslim rulers of today's Nigeria have sinister plans against non-Muslim Nigerians. |
GMBuhari:Really? |
The Dangers Of The American Lawsuit Against Key Nigerian Officials By Russel Andrew Crowe A landmark civil damages and human rights lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against sixteen Nigerian officials for their direct or indirect complicity and in the extrajudicial killings or torture of Igbos who were protesting marginalization based on their ethnicity, political viewpoint or religion. The Igbos organized themselves as the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), which is as nonviolent as, if not as symbolic as - for instance - the 'agitation' for Republic of Texas, or of California in USA; and even Scotland that its own Premier is the one leading the charge for a referendum of autonomy from Britain. In all these cases, the agitators are not being shot at, tortured or killed by the army and police. I determined from my inquiries that service of the summons and complaint, as well as the initial orders has been accomplished by certified international courier on all defendants. They are currently in default for failure to file a response within 21 days of service as stipulated in pertinent United States federal rules of civil procedure. The lead defendant is Nigeria's army chief, General Tukur Buratai. The claims of the plaintiffs are grounded under two muscular United States’ statutes - the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA or ATS - the Alien Tort Statute); and the Torture Victims Protection Act (TVPA). Both laws have extraterritorial reach, meaning that they allow US federal courts to assert long-arm jurisdiction that extends beyond the borders of United States. Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) provides that 'the district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any civil action by an alien for a tort (or civil wrong) committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States'. Since 1980, courts have interpreted this statute to allow foreign citizens to seek remedies in US courts for human rights violations for conduct committed outside the United States. Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991 is a statute that permits civil suits in the United States against foreign individuals who - acting in an official capacity for any foreign nation - committed torture and/or extrajudicial killing. Both laws, especially the TVPA endow individuals or their legal representatives to sue foreign individuals, including officials, to collect damages for extrajudicial killings or torture committed “under color of foreign law.” In the instant case, the plaintiffs already won first round as the United States District Court has granted them leave to file anonymously as “John Does” after making a ruling that they have a well-founded fear of retribution/persecution by the government of Nigeria or its agents or officials if their identities were disclosed. Violence against Igbos by individuals in the military/police and directed and encouraged by their superiors is notorious and well-known to the international community. The defendants would be foolhardy to believe this lawsuit will be difficult to win in the United States or stultify and drag on as might have been expected if filed in Nigeria. Judicial independence and the rule of law, as well as speedy trials are the hallmarks of United States jurisprudence. There are legions of US judicial precedents pointing to the high likelihood of a summary judgment for the plaintiffs. Defendants will have no defense of official immunity because they are being sued in their individual capacities and as officials who purportedly 'acted under color of law'. They are not sovereigns or diplomats. Further, extrajudicial killings or torture are crimes against humanity. Upon the prompting of the aggrieved, US courts will task any foreign government officials that perpetrate atrocities of the kind visited on the Igbos of Nigeria. It's not a secret that Nigerian officials had, in the past, engaged in misconducts that resulted in monetary judgments against them - in the millions of dollars - in the United States. This case appears bound for the same predictable result, unless handled differently from the inexplicable bravado and laches that doomed Nigeria in the previous suits preferred against its officials in the United States. The factual case against the defendants is convincing. All Nigerians know of the widespread beatings and slaughter of Igbos by elements of Nigerian security forces for merely and peacefully exercising their fundamental human right to protest marginalization and urge a new political dispensation. Indeed, beyond Nigeria, Amnesty International and other credible foreign sources have confirmed those killings and torture; and to be sure - their reports will be deemed probative and admissible under standards of evidence long established in US federal courts in cases of this nature. Plus, plaintiffs are all on standby in the United States to air their tearful testimonies in open court. It even makes it worse that the Nigerian army is reported to be denying and covering up an atrocity that was so open and notorious. It doesn't make it any better that the Nigerian government - so far - appears to have condoned the wanton killings by failing to publicly discipline the officers that pulled the trigger or the commanders that gave the order. It's even worse that President Buhari, upon his return from vacation, reportedly ordered his troops to renew their crackdown on Igbo protesters. That VP Osibanjo gave no such orders when Buhari was away is noticeably demonstrative of the widespread notion that Buhari - a Fulani core Muslim - has profiled the Christian Igbos for persecution because of their ethnicity, their love of freedom, and the perception that they did not vote for him in the 2015 election that saw him to power. At present, the savage mentality that is directed against Igbos in Nigeria of this era is widespread and underscored by the notorious threat to expel or destroy millions of Igbos and seize their properties in the Muslim northern states of Nigeria if they refused to surrender their right to reside and work peacefully in that part of the country. And the federal, state, and local governments appear as spectators to the looming genocide - a spectacle that is not lost on a wary international community; and which might as yet make Nigeria a 'state actor' in the ultimate fallouts. Such fallouts will surely raise the specter of an International Criminal Court intervention that may engulf the present crop of Nigerian leadership at the very top. The Nigerian defendants are mistaken if they believe they can defend from the safe confines of Nigeria. If the case goes to trial, they will be required - under penalty of default or even contempt - to appear in a United States court to testify under oath and dangerously probing cross-examination that will dwell on the details of the Igbo killings and the complicity of other unnamed Nigerian officials, which shall include whether they received their orders from the presidential levels of security leadership to use lethal force on unarmed protesters. This evidence could be used in a sequel criminal prosecution before the International Criminal Court or a special court of the likes employed in the prosecution and conviction of Chad’s former dictator, Hissene Habre in Senegal. The State governors - of Abia and Anambra - where these killings largely occurred will also be ensnared by virtue of being the 'chief security officers' of their States. Those two governors are also listed as defendants. If the defendants refuse to appear, default judgments will be entered against them, in addition to the prospects of undefended huge damage awards that will run in the millions of dollars. The ultimate loser - diplomatically and financially - will be the Nigerian and State governments that presumably control the officials who acted under color of state law when the Igbo killings occurred. In the end, it may snowball to the government of Nigeria being listed as a state sponsor of terrorism in the same manner as was done with Sudan, etc. In the interim and despite the continuing menace of Boko Haram, the United Nations Security Council (or the US - under the Leahy Act) could vote an arms embargo on Nigeria to prevent the diversion of military weapons that could be geared to perpetrating more official violence against the Igbo people. Christian lobby groups in the United States were largely responsible for making Sudan a pariah state, which culminated in the creation of South Sudan through a referendum organized and supervised by the United Nations. Like Nigeria, Sudan also fancied itself indissoluble just because its Constitution said so. That same political dynamic will be at work against Nigeria if the TVPA/ATCA litigation is not resolved amicably before Nigeria’s dirty linen is exposed at trial in an open United States courtroom for the entire world to see. Better yet, there's a third way - a time honored window of opportunity the defendants can exploit to end the case early and avoid the severe rigors of a foreign trial. US trial lawyers and the courts within which they operate are known to have a proclivity for encouraging any alternative dispute resolution path that brings closure through a pre-trial fair settlement of suits. Though this suit has progressed to a point of some disadvantage to the defendants, it's not too late for them to begin now to seek out plaintiffs' lawyers and start talking to them.

StarOfDavid:Gee On IPOB. Arewa Youths withdrew Quit Notice to Igbo only because Buhari came back alive and retook his position as president. The Quit Notice was indirectly meant for VP Osinbajo; the plan was to start attack Igbos in the north, for which northern soldiers now in command of the armed forces shall take over power and sack Osinbajo the infidel from ruling Nigeria. International community shall say the soldiers came in to save lives. It was the same thing that happened when north adopted Islamic Sharia criminal code as a veiled protest against infidel Obasanjo. It was the same system when Boko Haram intensified its violence to sack infidel Jonathan as president. |
stonemasonn:Right from Egbema of Rivers and Egbema of Imo states, to Oru areas in Orlu district of Imo state. Natural gas is in abundant. It's even flared in Egbema. The skies of Egbema are always bright at night due to light from flaring natural gas. |
Nbote:A whooping 4.6 Billion Naira for environmental sanitation in a compound. And that's the government that thrives on anti corruption mantra. Buhari hypocrisy stinks to high heavens. |
Daviddson:What's lie that Ndigbo and others want Biafra? Or are Igbo and others in the east lies before you, because you the parasite wants to drink crude oil in the Niger delta? What has the purported Ojukwu meeting with Buhari got to do with the current agitation for restoration of Biafra? Was /Is Ojukwu Biafra? |
truth4u:It's only ignorant and politically pathetic Igbo and Yoruba who don't understand that when far northern Nigeria unilaterally adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia Criminal codes, the twelve Sharia states carved out a new country from Nigeria. Igbo and Yoruba do not understand that the twelve Sharia states would rather have their Islamic Sharia country of the twelve northern Sharia States, instead of one Nigeria between the Sharia States and unclean unbelievers." Igbo and Yoruba do not understand that Boko Haram which fights for a country to be ruled with Sharia Criminal codes cannot be defeated. Instead of walking away from expired one Nigeria, many Igbo and Yoruba leaders who are expected to make the moves are doing "siddon de look.' |
Aufbauh:Instead, these ones are swimming in the dirt of corruption. Just look at their rugged faces and protruding bellies for a start. Nnamdi Kanu's followers are the most intelligent Igbos. |
zoba88:Bunkum. How many Igbos still remain in northern Nigeria since Boko Haram and Sharia Criminal laws in northern Nigeria? Few. In fact, there are more northern Nigerians in Igbo land than there are Igbos in northern Nigeria since Boko Haram and Sharia Criminal laws in the north. |
midehill:Selfishness. Your dear country? But millions of IPOB people don't see Nigeria as their dear country. Do you ever give thoughts on the feelings of others, or are you also one of the Jihadists who need one Nigeria only for a future big Islamic Republic of Nigeria? |
PassingShot:Is ordering Nigeria's armed forces against unarmed Biafra Secret Service part of checking Nnamdi Kanu? Do you understand what can happen when those armed Janjaweeeeds disguising in Nigeria army meet unarmed Biafra Secret Service people? The Janjaweeeeds shall open fire indiscriminately on every BSS and IPOB members around. The Janjaweeeeds shall say their usual lies that they killed ARMED Biafra Secret Service people. Nigeria's courts have cross-checked what Nnamdi Kanu said or did, but couldn't find him guilty, released him twice. But Buhari ordered his rearrest. Kanu is still under court processes. |
Buhari vs Biafra Separatists. Can some educated Nigerians teach Buhari that it is IMPOSSIBLE to sustain the unity of a country through killing off separatists with bullets and bombs? Can somebody do this before Buhari finally divides the country he said he trekked 17 miles to sustain its unity. |
aolawale025:THE PARAMILITARY WING OF ITALY'S SECESSIONIST GROUP ROAMED ITALY'S STREETS FOR TEN YEARS DURING THE LAST DECADE TILL ITALIANS DID POLITICAL RESTRUCTURING. POLICE NEVER CONFRONTED THEM. THE ARMY? UNIMAGINABLE FOR ITALY'S ARMY TO CONFRONT UNARMED CIVILIANS. A sadist Buhari is merely looking for a way to shed the blood of Igbos. In Italy during the 1990s, an Italian Separatist group LEGANORD wanted to divide Italy for a new Padania country in northern Italy. LEGANORD paramilitary group was not for a day attacked by Italy's police, let alone the other armed forces. It took political restructuring of Italy to stop LEGANORD and its Padania country. Buhari an Islamic extremist may hide under stopping Biafra Secret Service to advance his Jihadi tendencies. |
Biafra Secret Service is an unarmed organization maintaining order in rallies of Indigenous People of Biafra. How could a president of Nigeria order his Armed Forces to kill unarmed civilians? |
Omooba77:ROTIMI AMAECHI WAS BORN AFTER THE CIVIL WAR AS A SUBJECT/SLAVE OF FULANI CONTROLLED NIGERIA. ROTIMI AMAECHI GREW UP TO LIVE A LIFE OF A SUBJECT/SLAVE OF FULANI CONTROLLED NIGERIA ROTIMI AMAECHI LIVES AS SUBJECT/SLAVE OF FULANI-CONTROLLED NIGERIA IN MATURE AGE. ROTIMI AMAECHI WANTS TO DIE AS SUBJECT/SLAVE OF FULANI-CONTROLLED NIGERIA. CC TonyeBarcanister. |
naturalman:Sharaaap. Obiano, like you, work for pocket parochial interests, not for the interest of overall Igbos gburu gburu. Why did Obiano quickly broadcast the non-investigated statement of PC Umar in Ozubulu? That quick statement gave the shooters quicker escape. |
