I'm sure you can be honest enough to admit that Kanu's activities call for government actions including bringing criminal charges. Admitedly Mr Kanu's cause and even his courage may be admirable, but anyone who calls for the death of a single Nigerian, most certainly, needs to answer some queries at the very least.

You people need to go and negotiate with the Feds. Make sure the negotiations include Kanu's complete disavowment of violence. Kanu is much more courageous than most of your thieving governors. Turn the movement into a political movement and seek political justice the right way. Send Kanu to the Senate or make him one of your governors and stop fighting battles which will send your youths to early graves .

It is only in Nigeria that a mere verbal expression is regarded as treason. I can honestly say there is something fundamentally wrong about a Nigerian society that act on idiotic assumption. Nnamdi Kanu has right to tell anybody to "go to hell". In addition, the constitution granted him the freedom of free speech and pursuance of self-determination. Nnamdi Kanu, like most Ndiigbo as well as IPOB or MASSO, does not believe in the zoo called Nigeria hence the agitation of independent home land. Per the bolded, why should any dullard instruct Ndiigbo or IPOB or MASSOB how to tread in Nigeria? Nigeria is created by men and must be disintegrated by men.

DiademSh07:
You know what to do instead of ranting here like your fellow lunatic who's gonna be hanged by the way!
Yeye!

Give it a shot!!!

nduchucks:
Only a born fool would argue that Nnamdi Kanu does not deserve to be charged for multiple treason and treasonable felony offenses. SMH

I am not surprised at all. Nigeria has a way of turning even the brighter ones into dunces. It really sucks to be a Nigerian.

DiademSh07:
He was seeking arms to wage war against Nigeria, dullard! He even mentioned it in his tape! Or did you expect Nigeria govt to fold arms till the lunatic starts killing the citizen of Nigeria!
That Lunatic of yours is gonna be hanged and there's nothing you ibo can do about it!
Yeye!

Only dullards such as you translate self-determination into war. Even if he is seeking arms for war, has he bombed, attacked or allowed his fellow IPOB to carry any weapon even during the recent killing of unarmed protesters by Nigeria security outfits? Only foolish Nigerians act on idiotic assumption. No wonder Nigeria is declared a zoo. Assumption is most likely to end up in stupidity. Why on earth would any reasonable person have dumbass such as you as compatriot. It sucks to be you.

DiademSh07:
You are probably too poor to watch the video of him seeking for arms!
Ibos are too dull, mehn!

You can only dream of the affluence that is opened to me. In addition, seeking of arms does not constitute treason if you are too dull to comprehend. He has every right like me, who has arms, to seek arms too. Until he attempts to overthrow the government of Nigeria and caught in the act, he is freer than you.

superstar1:
You are very funny.

The constitution guarantee the security of every citizen of this country and the sovereignty of the nation.

In the light of that, the garrulous an senseless Lunatic Albino is being put up fpr trial by FG represented by DSS on behalf of the people he threatened and the Nigerian State.

I thought noise makers were saying he had a plan, that was why he allowed FG To arrest to him.

I thought they said he will.not.last more than a week in DSS dungeon.

The id1ot even promised to ensure Nigeria exists no more by December. Here we are in December, the toothless lion a no Ayatollah of alaigbo is dancing skelewu inside DSS den and Nigeria is still standing gidigba.

You are one indisputable reason Nigeria is blow every curve of human endeavor toward civilization. Per the bolded, why should anyone bend out of human form because Nnamdi Kanu called Nigeria a zoo? It only in zoo that state security outfit can arrest a person that allegedly threaten another fellow without the so-called intended receiver of the threat knowing he or she has been threatened. Nigeria has been reduced beyond geographical expression. Awolowo, in his grave, would even regret that such phrase was lavished on cesspit called Nigeria.

Prince16:
Those civilian JTF have been risking their balls in north-east, we, the southerners sit down in our cozy parlours chilling.
Now dt we hear recruitment, we suddenly remember a northernized army? Soooooooo SMH!!!
PS: Bia, TB, if u or any southerner is interested in the recruitment, y'all can as well join d C-JTF NOW or forever hold their peace!!!
Dassol!

I guess the southerners started Boko Haram. You simply cannot repay acts of idiocy.

superstar1:
I do not expect so much from you because you ALWAYS twist things and issues in your way using you warped and shameless mind.

It is just sad that you are indulging in such at a time you should be making peace with your God, getting ready to meet your ancestors and your rebel friends and making it a point of duty to leave a better world for you children's children.

Right is the guaranteed freedom and the responsibility of that guaranteed freedom lies on the claimant of the right, by ensuring he does not infringe on the right of others while exercising his.

The Lunatic Albino has right of speech and expression and which he willingly expressed, BUT regrettably infringed on the right to existence of others by calling for their killings, he infringed on the right of Nigeria to be a Sovereign Nation by calling for arms against her.

If Right is absolute in the land of red mud, it is not in saner climes.

Per the bolded, if anybody feels that his/her right has been infringed by the rhetoric of Nnamdi Kanu the person should seek redress from the courts by suing Nnamdi Kanu. It is idiocy for the state to arrest Nnamdi Kanu because the exercise of his free speech infringed on certain individuals. Nobody has sued him in court on character defamation yet.

In the land of cowards, there is no right since might is power!!

omooba969:
Interesting!

@bolded,
You have only described treason & not treasonable felony. To be fair, only a legal court is qualified to interpret what the law is so I wouldn't wanna waste time especially when you & I are not on the same bearing.

O yes, there's provision for Nnamdi's right to freedom of speech but I equally want to believe that he is not allowed to exercise such freedom where it threatens the unity & peace of our dear country Nigeria.

There is a more sensible & better approach to this secession bid but Kanu has simply chosen the reckless path thereby playing into the hands of his enemies.

He is only an ediot...period.

Per the bolded, you cannot threaten what is not in existence. I can state unequivocally that there is nether unity nor peace in Nigeria. There is no more sensible or better approach than self-determination approach adopted by the IPOB and MASSOB which is universally adopted.

Treason: the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the head of state (sovereign) or overthrow the government.

The last time I checked though, Nnamdi Kanu did not betray the zoo called Nigeria, never attempted to kill the head of state or overthrow the government of the cesspit called Nigeria.

superstar1:
You are more daft than I thought.

I heard from Fashola!!! Wonders shall never end. If you just heard it from Fashola that does no mean everybody has a low exposure like you. Ok?

All over world, right comes with responsibility. Let that enter into you porous medulla oblongata.

I guess you are dafter than the dude since you woefully failed to provide on iota of such responsibilities. "Right is freedom to do as one wishes within the law" The only responsibility here is to stay within the provisions of the law. If any dumbass feels that Nnamdi Kanu had overstepped the bounds as guaranteed by the constitution, which remains as the progenitor of laws of the land, he/she is free to proffer them.

sapiosexual1:
Don't be weak and take the easy way out. That someone speaks up for what he believes, esp if it goes against your stance doesnt make him an opposition or an IPOB. Nigerians should be matured enough to accept criticisms in good faith. Would you also call me an IPOB when I have fulani blood flowing through me?

It is an oddity to have a word such as mature or maturity in the same sentence with Nigeria. There is no maturity for the cesspit called Nigeria. Dunces do not appreciate but depreciate. It is an insult to certain zoos.....

omooba969:
I only mentioned the issue of 'defamation of character' simply because Op included it in his argument & no one is stating that Nnamdi's arrested on grounds of 'defamation of character'. I believe it's now addressed.

@bolded,
Do you expect the govt to fold arms & wait till the polity is heated & situation gets out of hand?
Don't you realise that Nnamdi's actions are capable of causing an insurrection?
Don't you think his choice of words are only divisive & has the potential to lead to mindless revolt( which you claim has not occurred)?
You & I know that PMB govt has the constitutional duty to protect the unity & national integrity of our dear Nigeria, in case you have forgotten.

There is 'treason' & there's treasonable felony' but Nnamdi is only charged with treasonable felony(if 'm correct). Treasonable felony, by definition, is an act relating to, consisting of, or involving treason.-Merriam Webster dictionary.

Now I believe you can adequately define Nnamdi's actions in relation to the said charges.

Have a good day & happy xmas.

What is the above crap all about? What type of government does Nigeria practice? "Treasonable felony is also seen when group of persons do plans to overthrow the government". You and I can agree that Nnamdi Kanu has never remotely thought about the overthrow of the government of zoo called Nigeria. Whether it is treason or treasonable felony, the Nigerian constitution provided him with right to free speech and guaranteed his participation in self-determination. Nigeria is playing out as joker. It sucks to be a Nigerian. By the way not every overthrow is known as treasonable felony.

The man is a progressive governor not the APC's dimwits that parade themselves as progressives.

DirtyGold:
The bane of Nigeria's progress is that we simply do not have adequately trained and well groomed leaders who are responsible and sensitive enough.

A fool at forty is a fool forever!! For more than forty years and counting, Nigeria cannot produce adequately trained Desk Clarks and Foremen to manage a thing as simple as government. Anybody in his/her right mind who blames people who seriously want to split from the cesspit called Nigeria should be shot.

The same corruptible endeavor of 1961/62 engineered by Tafawa Balewa that saw the unqualified recruits such as Muhammadu Buhari and bunch of coup precipitators into Nigerian army as officers is about to happen all over again. What happens to the quota system that has become the hallmark of northern Nigeria’s deceitful machination? What number of northern vigilante absolved into the armed forces should be liberally applied to other parts of the country? In fact, I do not blame the northerners but most southerners who are inherently idiotic.

Nigeria sucks!!!!

abduljabbar4:
Take a look at some of his utterances

"Buhari is a shameless Paedophile and rapist....."
"Buhari is a Terrorist he should be killed....."
"Nigeria is a zoo and everybody living in that Godforsaken zoo deserves to die....."
"Kumuyi should be stonned and dealt with thoroughly if he comes to Aba for his planned crusade....."
"The imbecilic Goodluck Jonathan is a disgrace to humanity and deserves to be skinned alive for handing over to an Hausa goat....."
"By the time we finish dealing with the animals in the zoo, there'll be none left to tell the story....."
"We are assembling weapons and we need some more money to thoroughly equip our military to enable us unleash mayhem on Nigeria....."
"Niger Deltans are cowards, we know what to do to them. Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Edo and Cross Rivers State are our territory and anybody who tries to oppose us will be crushed....."
"All APC supporters are Boko Haram members, they are the real terrorists, Chukwuabiama will expose them all....."
"Buhari married his wife after raping her several times, the records are there....."
"No Ibo man should attend any Church where the pastor is a Yoruba man, they are criminals and fools....."
"Ibos are God's children, others are children of the devil, that's why we bear names like Nwachukwu,Chidinma,Chinyere,Chibuzor, Ikechukwu etc....."
"Nigeria should prepare for war, we are coming to annihilate you, my secret service are already studying the zoo and strategising....."
"It is either Biafra or death.....".

There is no action in the tabulated sentences accredited to Nnamdi Kanu in the above post which slightly constitute treason. If anybody is offended, please sue him in court. Nigerian constitution granted him the right to sue for self-determination. In such agitation, unkind wards and sentences are used freely.

Empty threat does not scare a housefly.

This is one of the worst thread I have read on this NL. Nigerians have hollow mentality. This is one reason some goons in Nigeria think they are demigods.

omooba969:
Wow...interesting!

@Op, I appreciate your effort in trying to clear the air as per the charges against Nnamdi Kanu. I also agree that it is a case that is poorly prepared just as it is badly presented.

However, your argument has some defects with regards to your defence of Nnamdi Kanu's position.

Firstly, we need to agree that there's no smoke without a fire. Nnamdi has only managed to land himself in a dangerous trouble because the secession bid was poorly planned & badly managed.

Not to deviate from the subject matter, Nnamdi's proclamations on his Radio Biafra are tantamount to incitement of violence & hatred which has the tendency of 'disturbing the peace' . I am open to what the provision of the law is with regards to 'disturbing the peace'. To say that he has the right to freedom of speech or expression, is to say that I(as a xtian) can go into a mosque and scream that Jesus is the only way. You know that my freedom of speech or expression has the tendency to cause wahala(disturbing the peace). This is how it all started in Rwanda(1994)...remember?

Secondly, for Nnamdi to clearly state that PMB is Bokoharam without concrete evidence is also tantamount to 'defamation of character' . In your submission, you mentioned that it holds no water(paraphrasing your statement) but you certainly know what Libel means.

Nnamdi Kanu's choice of words in his broadcast on Radio Biafra are not those attributed to a genuine freedom fighter that he purports to be, even agitating for a nation-state not yet born while he is still a subject under the extant law of our dear Nigeria. I don't think you have an idea of the gravity of his actions because they can be described as an act or instance of open revolt against a constituted government. This is a kind of behaviour inadvertently aimed at destabilizing the polity.

There are many other points I can argue here but I prefer to keep it short.

The body language exhibited in the above post is one such reason Nigeria is perpetually backward. No wonder some people actually want to leave the cesspit. You do not arrest a person for 'defamation of character' without a court order. Only fools arrest a person on instance of open revolt when such revolt has not occurred. As a self-determination agitator, Kanu's choice words were in order. Kanu never called for the overthrow of constituted government but simply begged to split. The 1999 Nigerian constitution guarantees the right to self-determination. It is unfortunate Nigeria is led by bunch of zombies who do not know the meaning of treason. If one calls out a leader in Nigeria, it becomes a treasonable offence. What a country.

Who gives a ratass if she is stark naked? Is there something on her that has never been seen? Nigerians and their silly mentality are pitiful.

Every dirty pig seems to enjoy Sun's delight. No mad person in Igbo land would call Efik an Igbo. The Efik of Bakassi Peninsula have been ceded to Cameroon by Yari.ba, Awusa, Fula and Kanuri yet jaundiced characters kept mute.

superstar1:
What is this defeated biafra.ud fighter saying?

Defeated or not, please re-peruse the post before making ill-informed comments. You have been told times without numbers that Yrai.ba in collaboration with Tafawa Balewa's NPC and government imprisoned Awolowo.

NgeneUkwenu:
See excerpt from the interview he granted the Sun Newspapers.

Many Igbo leaders are interested in wading into the matter and possibly brokering  peace in this  standoff, is your client opposed to this?


My client is not averse to peace. Remember that his strategy is that of non-violence. Non-violence is synonymous to peace. Personally, I have also preached peaceful settlement of this issue to well-meaning Nigerians.

As a result, if Igbo leaders are interested in taking part in the peace process, I want to assure you that my client will support it, but it has to be an intervention that must be bona fide and predicated on utmost trust and sincerity on their part. This preliminary peace process will be to lay a foundation for the bigger/comprehensive dialogue upon the release of my client.

To me, no meaningful and enduring dialogue takes place while he is still incarcerated because you cannot negotiate with a man in chains. He must be released first. Prominent Igbo leaders as Chief Chekwas Okorie, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, Archbishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and others too numerous to mention, for want of space, have joined the clarion call for the release of my client. Other prominent Nigerians such as Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah, Prof. Wale Soyinka, Alhaji Balarabe Musa have also advised that the Federal Government should toe the path of dialogue to avoid the matter getting out of hand. As for me, I will enjoin the government to play according to the rule of law and at best adopt alternative dispute strategy in the interest of Nigerians.

There is something fundamentally wrong with most Nigerians. Sometimes, I tend to blame quota system for some of the Nigeria's problem. After reading few paragraphs of the above post, how intellectually anemic can it get with the caption of this thread?

This is not a thread for ill-educated flippancy!!!

kettykings:
This is really becoming very embarrassing and irritating for a government that took an oath on may 29 barely 6 months ago to obey the Constitution of the federal Republic of Nigeria administered by the judicial arm of government to turn around to disobey that same judicial arm of government 6 months later and the same government is relying on the same judiciary to upturn elected state elected government officials.
And you want people to take such a government serious.

Today, Nigeria runs a government of "foolcracy" thus government of the fools, for the fools and by the fools.

Chanchit:
Only if he knew cases like this are only won through back door negotiation, its better to take the easy way out now that the ovation is loudest cos when he's no more popular among his people, when the popularity dwindles there would be no room for negotiation other than to face the full consequences of his actions.

In your wild imagination, I guess you concluded Nigeria is a country that runs on democracy. You and Nigeria can fool moronic Nigerians not well educated populace of the world. He will never succumb to group of fools.

TonyeBarcanista:
That's the problem. He(Kanu) solicited for arms to fight the Nigeria state. Though the Igbo elders didn't grant him, his demands was a threat to national security. Now, what IF he eventually get the arms elsewhere? We shouldn't be emotional.

The case of the Lebanese man is very different.

Per the bolded, the example of ill-educated rant.
