The sentencing of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to life imprisonment by a Federal High Court stands as one of the most jarring moments in our nation’s recent history.

Beyond the legal arguments, it exposes yet again the fragile and troubling place of the Igbo man in today’s Nigeria.

At a time when states in Northern Nigeria are holding negotiations and signing peace deals with armed bandits who have unleashed terror on innocent citizens, an unarmed man is condemned for broadcasts he made while in the UK. The contradiction is deafening.

While our leaders may have tried within their limits, their best, respectfully, has not been enough. We must now separate politics from governance.
Our leaders in the southeast have consistently failed the region. Many merely pretend to champion Nnamdi Kanu’s cause, using his situation as a tool for political advantage rather than a genuine pursuit of justice.

They are insincere, and only obsessed with media attention, they have refused to prioritize development and their myopic sense of leadership have weakened our standing and negotiating power in Nigeria.

Our leaders think only about the next election, while neglecting the next generation and it is this clear leadership failure that has fueled the Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s struggle.

Until we produce sincere, courageous, people-centered leaders, the Southeast will continue to be sidelined and not taken Seriously

This is a moment for sober reflection, unity, and strategic action. It is not the time for blame games, party lines, or ideological divides.

Ndi Igbo must speak with one voice. We must rally together traditional rulers, political leaders, religious figures, activists, and the broader Igbo community to pursue a political solution that restores Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s freedom.

If we allow him to perish in jail, it is not just one man that is imprisoned it is the collective Igbo conscience.

This is our moral burden. This is our historical obligation. And the time to act is now.

Special Adviser To The Senate Minority Whip

Mazi Kanu walked into court with only his convictions. He told the judge he had no defence because the charges were illegal. Even when the judge urged him to get a lawyer, he stood alone, dismissed his entire legal team, trusting his voice against the weight of the law.
His story is a reminder: the courtroom is not a place for pride or emotion. It is a battlefield of procedure and evidence. No matter how right you feel, facing the law without a legal guide can turn courage into vulnerability.
I'm not sure appealing the sentence will workout any difference. FG legal team can appeal for death sentence as well.
Mazi Kanu have succeeded in making the Biafra an ideal that may manifest one day, unfortunately,
Mazi Kanu’s journey feels like that of Moses in the bible, he laboured for the promised land, he caught a glimpse of it, yet the gate was never opened for him to step inside.
May he find favour before Asiwaju and other political stalwarts from the south east.

A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Alex Mascot Ikwechegh, has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to grant a presidential pardon to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, describing the move as necessary for national peace and unity.

In an open letter addressed to the President, Ikwechegh said Nigeria is currently facing rising insecurity, political tension, economic hardship, and declining international confidence, adding that only decisive leadership can restore calm.

According to him, killings, ethnic mistrust, and worsening divisions across the country have created a fragile national atmosphere that requires urgent reconciliation.

“This is a time to unite our country; this is a time to heal our nation,” he wrote.

The lawmaker noted that growing conversations globally about Nigeria’s instability are alarming, and warned that continued detention of Kanu is contributing significantly to unrest, particularly in the South-East.

Ikwechegh urged the President to consider clemency as a strategic step toward de-escalation.

“Clemency at this moment will not only quell security tension in the country, especially in the South-East, but will also draw his supporters closer to the leadership of the President,” he stated.

He further reminded the President of the sacrifices of Nigeria’s founding fathers, urging him to preserve unity and prevent the country from drifting into deeper crisis.

Describing President Tinubu as the only person capable of restoring stability, Ikwechegh emphasized that forgiveness and reconciliation would send a powerful message of leadership and national healing.

“Let us remember the labour of our heroes past. Let us keep this country united and commit ourselves to healing our land,” he added.

Munamu:
I condemned the mode of approach of Wike towards the officer. But let us be sincere with ourselves, if the narrative were different, such respond would not have emanated from the young officer.
it still reflect the frustration of the north that a southerner is appointed the FCT helmsman. Look at the way they supported the officer. If it were the other way round, the southern soldier would have been in the guardroom and protest erupted from Arewa.
People from Southern Nigeria are objective and not myopic in decision making. In all, I blame Tinibu for not finding a worthy person from the south to be made the FCT minister other than Wike.

A matured TB that i invested 2024.

Got the capital.

Them got another debit described as WIT.

Gavrelino123:
Hello guys, when is the next TB primary market issue?

Meanwhile the debit notice I got from GTBANK yesterday on WIT is still a shock to me!

Do you guys think this will change anytime soon?

jedisco:
CGT on market gains is expected and welcome. Its a good way wealth in which from the market is redistributed to all.

What do you mean by 'Treasury bill will crash'?

The CBN largely raises rates in response to inflation

We need TB rates to drop fast so that investment can flow to the real economy. You dont expect local businesses to thrive if they are borrowing at rates of over 20% when businesses in other nations can get loans at sub-5%

Dear CUSTOMER,



We wish to inform you of a recent publication released by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) in relation to investment in short-term securities issued by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The publication sought to educate investors, discount houses, stockbrokers, Corporate Bond Issuers and holders, and the general public of the need to collaborate with the Government to ensure compliance with the tax implications of the investment in securities. Please see attached notice.



The communique covered the following bases:



The reference to the legislation/law that imposes withholding tax (WHT) deduction on the holders of the short-term securities
Application of WHT deduction from interest income earned by both corporate and Individual investor categories
The duty to deduct and remit the taxes to the relevant tax authorities
The tax credit that accrues to the investor whose interest income has been subjected to tax deduction
The exemption of WHT on FG Bonds and OMO bills issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and
The express definition of “ Short-Term Securities” to cover Government Bonds, Treasury Bills, Promissory Notes, Corporate Bonds, Financial papers & Bills of Exchange etc.


Implications :



On the strength of the above, United Bank of Africa (UBA) PLC will be ensuring 100% adherence with this directive. The applicable WHT rate is 10% of the interest (discount) at maturity and the amount so withheld will be remitted to the relevant tax authority as and when due.



We are working with our support teams to ensure that this and other relevant details are embedded in the offer letters to be issued to investors in the nearest future and we will continue to keep you informed of any further regulatory updates that may affect your investments.

Yes Soludo is a great Presidential material.. but age isn’t on his side.. he’s already 65. By the time presidency will be back to South, he should’ve been 75 or so..

I rather go for Peter Mbah as future president from SE, he’s equally qualified as Soludo but younger.

Ttalk:
To spite Obidients who is adamant about presidency coming to the South and for Atiku to support Obi

Ttalk:
This is a post created by the Fulani for his Obidients friends, let others take note.

chukwutee:
I have been saying this before but thank God people are beginning to see it, detrablize entities like prof soludo is rare, especially from a region that are groom to hate their country. you can never see him tag anybody “ Yoruba candidate just to demarket him. All these kwarshiokor agulu politics one agulu clown introduce to politics .Those are positive leadership qualities that separate a leader from a fake pretender.
