Hofbrauhaus: I don't understand people..Human beings are strange! Did Nnamdi kanu kill kelechi or did Buhari kill kelechi. Why are they not blaming the killers of the young man? The fulani soldiers massacred our people...they should and would be held responsible.
Kelechi is a great man. He died hoping for BIAFRA. He died because Nigeria is not a place he can call home. Like many of us kelechi was tired of this contrapment, kelechi didn't want to raise his children in this zoo! Kelechi was a graduate, but 5years after graduating, no job for kelechi....kelechi might be died but his is very much alive, and he died knowing that BIAFRA would come. Kelechi did not die in vain. Kelechi is a hero.
God bless you my brother. Sleep on kelechi. We would not disappoint you.
So other people wey Sidon for house wey no follow kanu brainwashing ideas.. . Soldiers enter dem house go kill them?
Cyynthia: I don't think the man is my brother, he's from Gombe. But he still worships the caliphate like you said.
The sole aim of attacking ibo race pretending as if they are attacking Ipob is to make them weak so that they can successfully implement sharia law as they have been planning, because they know that once they succeed in dealing with Igbos that are 99.9℅ Christians, then they can easily influence we Yorubas because half of us are Muslims already.
How can you declare people of from two regions terrorist, because when sit at home order was given by Ipob, the whole SE and SS were shut down. Who said that Ipob is not Ibo and Ibo is not Ipob ?
God no go allow them. Some of my Yoruba Christian brothers are still sleeping, they don't know what is coming their way. FFK will keep emphasizing on that, but some of those head slammers will keep criticizing and hating him for exposing them.
You guys can cry on my mentions as usual for all I care. .
PointZerom: Stupidity is when you want me to love you after telling the whole world that you won't do anything for me since I didn't vote for you in a democratical election, And more stupidity is when you refused to acknowledge this and thinks that I hated you b'cos of GEJ's lost.
Stupidity is when you hate me, you didn't vote for me But to u also want me to give you the lion share of my dividend of democracy
You hurt because I won your ineffectual buffoon You didn't vote for me because PDP said I didn't have certificate and that I'm a jihadist
You can't hate me so much and you still expect so much from me
Sapiosexuality: Logic! This is type of logic you will find in Nigeria. Someone kills, burns, rapes, destroys and create an atmosphere of terror but he is not a terrorist but the ones who protest and insult are terrorist. Logic. This is the logic of a mind that is schizophrenic.
The thing is, in this country, some animals are more important than the others. All animals are equal but some are 'more equal' than others. And they wonder why the country is messed up. The president has even called them Libyan and Senegalese Herdsmen.
The Garba guy and his boss are just clueless people who shouldn't have been close to any position of managing people. Buhari talked about NEGOTIATING with Boko Haram and recently, North Korea, but he sent programmed adults(soldiers) to go shoot people in the east.
Buhari on Tuesday called for the restructuring of the United Nations but wouldn't try same in his own country. The man is a terrible hypocritical being. He talked about giving Palestinians their own country but IPOB that asked same are terrorists.
I can't be politically correct at this time in our country's history. No one should be politically correct in this moment of our history. Buhari is a hypocrite and without morals. His Myanmar speech is proof that he is more interested in the welfare of his religion than humanity in general.
It still doesn't change the fact that Ipob are now terrorists
Throwback: Doanld trump is an Afonja back stabber.
After wining the presidential poll with votes counted in Aba, he went ahead to appoint a Yoruba business executive to his advisory group, disregarding all the IPOB business shop owners who voted for him.
Now after Buhari humiliated Kanu in his own village, resulting in his escape upon sighting the zoo army he had vowed to kill, Trump still chose to meet with the Fulani Muslim terrorist Buhari, despite all the aimless and hopeless letters IPOB and their American lawyer Bruce Fein have been wasting their resources on.
Trump you are ungrateful, and you should not expect the IPOB backbone of your previous victory to deliver the votes for your re-election.
Igbos are 50% of NewYork, 40% of California, 45% of Texas, 60% Florida, and 65% of Ohio. Most of the African Americans in Virginia, Maryland and atleast 8 other states are descendants of Eboe slaves. Infact Igbos are the majority in America. We are waiting for Trump in 2020 elections. We will galvanise our American and Aba Igbos to vote against Trump. He will learn not to anger the children of God, the chosen Jews. He will learn that Chukwu Akuko Alabama is behind us.
attackgat: The rule or law exists but the Nigerian Army does not respect it for if they did, tbey would know it is illegal for the military to be involved in civil matters.
It doesnt matter. The actions of Nigeria and the military only helped to convince even more Igbos that Biafra is the only future worth having.
The Nigerian Army did an even better job than Kanu and IPOB at converting our people to Biafrans
Umunnem Igbo Ndi Oma, and fellow Nigerians, bikonu, may the peace of our Lord be upon you all.
Why I am hinting on all these issues is simply because we cannot afford to lose another 2 million of our own (that is the casualties of our brothers and sisters whom we lost in the Biafra war), imagine what those individuals and numbers could have done in Igbo land today? My Uncle did not return from the war.
Please do not be deceived in believing everything and every news you see on social media, propaganda is also an instrument of war.
I am sure most you must have heard this Buffon called Abdulkadir Erkahraman who parades his miserable self as a Turkish Diplomat speaking on behalf of Turkey in support of Biafra, so today the Turkish Embassy released a Statement (find attached) condemning the fool and disassociating him from the Turkish government. Now, if you have been conducting operations as IPOB in the name that the Turkish and Israeli Govt are behind you when it is all a lie, and you get killed by the Nigerian forces, are you not the foolish one? your death is just another waste and statistics, nothing will happen to the Nigerian government and I will tell you why below. Trust but verify, thats the key.
Some of you asked me to give my opinion on why the Nigerian Military was sent to Abia in response to Kanu's IPOB activities. I will give you my honest opinion.
If someone, a civilian for that matter, maintains and parades an organized people (wearing a military uniform), it can be misconstrued to be anything on the negative by the sovereign power of that country vis a vis Nigeria in this case. I highlighted this issue in my former opinion yesterday, you should not expect the government to roll in with police officers and patrol vans; you should reasonably expect army tanks. When you look at this organized IPOB armies, they are frustrated with what they perceived the system has done to them, so if you ever weaponize them, they will respond to that perceived injustice with murderous nihilism. They become non-state actors (Remember that we have rogue nations and people who will be willing today to give them weapons? Yes, believe me) so even when they were not armed, the Army took advantage of their sins to punish them with such force (not fair at all IMHO)
Now let's take it a little further, under International law and Pursuant to the 1949 Geneva Conventions Article 3, your status changes once you start wearing an army uniform, for you become an enemy combatant and will be treated as such: A recognized army (the Nigerian Army, in this case) can use force to neutralize you and your fellow militants. That is exactly what the Nigerian State and Army did. (The law cares less about your emotions so you don't go around breaking it)
In the Nigerian constitution, the offense of Treason is a capital offense which is defined by section 37(1) of the Criminal Code Act as follows;
a. Any person who levies war against the state, in order to intimidate or overawe the president or the governor of a state is guilty of treason and is liable to the punishment of death.
b. Any person conspiring with any person, either within or without Nigeria, to levy war against the state with the intent to cause such leving of war as would be treason if committed by a citizen of Nigeria, is guilty of treason and is liable to punishment of death.
You can clearly see why we advised our brother Nnamdi Kanu to refrain from some utterances or activities that could be misconstrued against him by the government, and anyone who advised a fellow countryman to be wise and careful is not an enemy or efulefu as the crazy thugs will like to call those of us with differing opinion, we just don't want to see our own go down.
Remember that all his internet utterances were more or like dismissed by the Court because if the court had considered it treasonous, Kanu wouldn't have been released at the first place because there is no bail for the crime of treason.
SpComedy: No body has shown any video of the so called violent IPOB attacking any hausa/fulani or yoruba person or group but numerous videos and pictures are littered all over the net showing the so called peaceful soldiers, torturing shooting and killing IPOB persons and groups......... Biafrans will never forget... Never, no matter how they wanna twist the story....... Never
Joel3: this guy is a fool. is it buhari that made Godwin Emefiele the central bank governor or Jonathan? is Godwin Emefiele igbo? gaba shuhu or whatever he is called should be enlightened maybe is is forgetting so soon. the military employment question is still a topic of debates and deploying them to south east its tribal cleansing and genocide.
viral video the world is watching at the moments is already causing emotional unrest as people are already reacting to it worldwide.
Disturbing video allegedly shows Nigerian army torture and murder Biafran secessionists Video appears to show soldiers beating men with batons and forcing them to drink dirty river water.

Shocking video allegedly shows Nigerian army abusing suspected IPOB members Shocking video allegedly shows Nigerian army abusing suspected IPOB members TGS Intelligence Consultants The Nigerian army is investigating a video showing what appear to be troops torturing and murdering civilians accused of belonging to a separatist group.
The nearly three-minute-long video began circulating on social media earlier in September. It appears to show soldiers forcing a group of half-Unclad men to lie down on the ground, beating them with batons. They are then forced to lie in a river and drink dirty water.

Pointing at what appears to be a corpse lying on the ground, the person recording the video is heard saying: "This one now, is dead".
The footage ends with images of the men lying in the water motionless. It is not clear what happened to them next and whether they are dead or alive.
The men were suspected of belonging to the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) group, which calls for the independence of Biafran territories that were forcibly annexed to Nigeria during British colonisation. An Independent Republic of Biafra was declared in 1967 and re-annexed to Nigeria in 1970, after three years of civil war.
It is believed the footage was taken in Abia state, in Nigeria's south-east. IBTimes UK sources said the men were travelling to the residence of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, when they were stopped by the military. Soldiers found the youths in possession of flags of the former Republic of Biafra.
Nnamdi Kanu's wife: Even if it takes 20 years, we will not allow witness secrecy trial READ MORE The army's spokesperson, Brigadier General Sanni Usman, was not immediately available for a comment on the video.
However, he was quoted by local media as saying the army was aware of the footage and was investigating it.
"We are aware of certain video being circulated," he said, according to the Daily Post.
"We have gotten complaints of the said video, and have commenced an investigation into the matter and the report would be made public. The General Officer Commanding 82 Division, Major General Adamu Abubakar, is investigating it and whatever it is, we will definitely let the public know about the outcome."
Rights group Amnesty International told IBTimes UK it is also investigating the video.
Allegations of violence This is not the first time that Nigerian security forces have been accused of violence against of pro-Biafra secessionist groups, but authorities have always denied such allegations.
In March, Amnesty called on the governor of Anambra state in south-eastern Nigeria to investigate alleged killings of pro-Biafra secessionists that have occurred in recent years.

Amnesty released reports alleging abuses against Ipob members, claiming security forces had killed at least 150 people "and injured hundreds more during peaceful assemblies" since August 2015.
The army denied the allegations, claiming it intervened to prevent "ethnic clashes" and accused Amnesty of trying to tarnish its image. Independence calls have gained renewed momentum following Nnamdi Kanu's arrest in October 2015. Kanu, Ipob leader and director of UK-based Radio Biafra, is standing trial on treasonable felony charges and was released on bail earlier this year. The trial will resume in October.
The Nigerian government has always maintained the country's unity was a priority and that while peaceful pro-Biafran protests were welcome, demanding the breakaway of the Biafran territories went against the constitution.
Igbo people ordered to 'relocate' out of northern Nigeria: Is a new civil war brewing?READ MORE Security analyst David Otto believes that, should investigations confirm that the men in the video were tortured by soldiers, it will be a strong sign that excessive violence might lead to radicalisation of youths, subjected to such treatments.
"The security services shown in this vile video have shown ineptitude in handling the Biafra agitators to a point where their action is acting as a radicalising tool to vulnerable and angry Igbo youths , creating the basis of ethnic and sectarian violence in Nigeria," he told IBTimes UK.
The majority of people inhabiting south-eastern Nigeria are Igbo, one of the country's largest ethnic groups. The Igbo people led the 1967 Biafran secession.
"The security forces must be called to order and the President [Muhammadu Buhari] has to intervene and address the Biafra agitation crisis in the south," said Otto.
"This is enough evidence that there is the urgent need of restructuring the security services training to take into account cruel actions that generate unintended consequences that may jeopardise national peace and stability."
columbus007: Buhari has killed many but protecting a few,you out there calling ipob fools,just remember that it could be you,buhari is got no protection for anybody but his families,now these guys that's been killed you ask me! Do they have guns? No,d world is watching!
Shut up and stop whinning
We warned you to stop your chestbeating, useless rants and abusives
You said you want war
You are like a bi*th that wanted to get fcked but when she see big prick she starts to cry
attackgat: So you think Solidiers are meant to shoot unarmed people who confront them? That is murder, its just that Nigeria is an uncivilised place where the rule of law does not exist.
Can you imagine if it were America or Germany and the Soldiers gunned down unarmed peopl. And when the Soldiers were asked why they did this, they say they were "confronted" or "challenged".
The Soldiers would be in a Military court the next day on murder charges.
This sort of backward Nigeria where life and the rule of law doesnt mean anything isnt what I want my fellow Igbos to belong to. It is a nation of darkness and we should aim higher than this
If rule of law exists you, kanu and every Ipob demons will be languishing in jail or dead by this time
DDeliverer: Suspected members of IPOB. So IPOB is now a terrorist organisation..haha. oh Buhari. Oh Nigeria.
In few months/years to come there would be so much killing in this Nigeria, that the government would start begging IPOB to come to the round table for negotiating but it would be too late.
IPOB never killed anybody all through their agitation. But Buhari sent his boys to shoot and kill unarmed people and yet, animals are clapping for the Nigeria soldiers.
prince4pro: Serious shooting we are outside right now,inside our compound, making every possible kind of noise we can afford. This is getting really serious
In the end, all of this has been caused by idleness and a devil who had access to broadcast hate on radio to idle minds. These are the same IPOB miscreants that assaulted a Nigerian youth corper in PH, also assaulted a lady and her colleagues as reported yesterday, and killed Hausas who had no business with them.
Kanu would soon land in the International Criminal Court. His video instructing his members to burn down the country in the event of a court mandated arrest, will be one of many albatross on his neck.
Kanu must not be allowed to escape to Abidjan or substitute with a look alike double just as he suspected of Buhari.
The Kanu that threatened to march to Lagos and Kaduna, cannot be the Kanu who is scared to move from Aba to Enugu within same Igbo land.
The Kanu that dared the government that he is in Biafra land and he cannot be scared, is different from the Kanu who has been hiding in his house since yesterday and begging Igbo youths to come and die for him.
These very idle youths who have now been tasked by the army with a patriotic duty to win Olympic gold in swimming at the 2020 games, have decided to train in the muddy erosion pools of the Igbo country side, all for the love of their country Nigeria.
