Ola9ja23: This IPOB just looking for anything to console themselves
I was having a conversation with a friend today and he said their forefathers have committed grave sins and the children are suffering for it
This is d end result of.
Of what benefit is this award to a live sentence inmate ?
Let the American come and rescue him first
This Biafra matter go long gan ooo.
You are talking absolute nonsense..
What is more sinful that millions of souls that lost their lives during the war, because you were fighting to keep the people you love to hate, including Asaba massacre, but you people mischievously turn around to claim fake SS love
Maybe the friend you had a conversation with is as myopic as you are ..
Even your name and post history say a lot about you,,
Before convulsing, and start mischievously dismissing the obvious,please read and understand Danfulani’s statement about how he wants Southern Kaduna to join Biafra when he visited Nnamdi Kanu
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has been granted honorary citizenship of Georgia, a state in the United States.
Kanu is currently serving a life prison sentence at the Sokoto Prison after he was convicted on terrorism charges filed against him by the Nigerian government.
Kanu was declared an ‘Honorary Georgia Citizen’ by Secretary of the State of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, in a proclamation dated January 16, 2026.
The proclamation also declared that the IPOB leader should be recognized as a Goodwill Ambassador from Georgia.
A former Nigerian ambassador to South Africa, Uche Ajulu, received the proclamation from Raffensperger on behalf of Kanu in Georgia, US, on Friday.
The proclamation reads, “I, Brad Raffensperger, Secretary of State of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim Nnamdi Okwu Kanu as an Honorary Georgia Citizen.
“May this Outstanding Citizen be accorded every courtesy as a Goodwill Ambassador from Georgia in his travels to other states, to nations beyond the borders of the United States of America, or wherever he may hereafter travel or reside. Thank you for your service to our state.
“In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of my office, at the State Capitol, in the City of Atlanta, this 16th day of January, A.D. 2026
Kaduna abduction: We won’t tolerate Christians genocide — US lawmakers
The United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs has condemned in strong terms the recent attack in Kaduna State, where suspected bandits kidnapped over 100 worshippers from three churches.
The Congressmen issued a stern warning that the US would not tolerate killings of Christians in Nigeria.
Recall that gunmen suspected to be bandits on Sunday stormed three churches in the Kure area of Kajuru Local Government Area, abducting more than 100 people.
DAILY POST reports that there was controversy as the Kaduna State Government and the Nigeria Police Force initially denied the incident.
The police, however, later made a U-turn and confirmed the abduction of the worshipers, saying they had mobilized personnel to ensure the release of the kidnapped victims.
Reacting in a statement posted on its official X handle, the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs frowned at the attack.
“This past Sunday, Islamic terrorists in Nigeria raided churches and kidnapped more than 168 Christians.
“President Trump made it clear: We cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria. The United States will not tolerate the massacre of innocent Christians,” the committee said.

62 years ago today, Rev. Fr. Cyprian Iwene Tansi passed on in Leicester, United Kingdom, after a brief illness. He was 60 years old.
Fondly known today as Blessed Tansi, he was a revered Igbo Catholic priest from Igboezunu, Aguleri, in present-day Anambra State. Renowned for his deep spirituality, humility, and commitment to service, Fr. Tansi lived a life marked by discipline, prayer, and unwavering faith.
His legacy transcended borders. Decades after his death, he was beatified by the Catholic Church, becoming a symbol of holiness, devotion, and moral integrity for Igbo land and beyond.
Blessed Tansi’s life reminds us that quiet faith can leave an eternal mark.
He Was Beautified By (Saint Pope JohnPaul ii) In Nigeria 1998
DomPerignon: As per Obi's support base being overwhelmingly from his SE, this is a curse rather than a blessing as Obi is now seen more as a tribal candidate than a national one.
This is the irony of the highly paradoxical Giringor political ambition which has seen his own home support as his worst weakness.
Any politician that has no influence on his zone is not fit to fight at the national level ..
Does Obi have influence on SE zone: Yes
Does Amechi have influence on SS zone: No
Does Obi have influence on southern region and even beyond Yes( He won Ten states in Southern Nigeria out of 17 states and 3 states in the North Central in 2023)
Does Amechi have influence on Southerner region: No
Just look at the name of the person pushing for Amechi. He wants Amechi to come out which will be an easy ride for Tinubu.. We known better, and understand the people you are working for.
Infact, People got to know Amechi because it was strange for a sitting SS governor to sabotage Jonathan who’s equally from SS, and Buhari has rewarded him with a Ministerial appointment for that, after he failed to secure VP slot under Buhari..
madridguy: This is a good reward for the saboteurs.
Good reward you said ?
So protesting against a sitting government because of their archaic rules should come with an execution as a punishment ?
Be careful of what you you are supporting, just be very very careful!. Well, you are known for supporting anything Islamic terrorism on this platform for ages, not surprised.
Executions for protesters are set to begin in 48 hours. 26 y.o. Erfan Soltani is one of the first to be publicly hanged on Jan 14th, his family were told yesterday.
If the U.S. doesn’t act now—after making its promises—it will go down as one of the biggest betrayals in history.
Why is Tinubu relying on governors to win elections instead of the other way round if he’s actually pupular ?
From 2007 till 2023, so many north East and North West governors won elections due to Buhar’s influence, not really because they were popular..
In Tinubu’s case, it’s totally different. More than half of governors that defected to APC have cases with EFCC. Why would Bola Tinubu rely on Govonors to win elections?
Stephen0mozzy: World War is not so far away sha. America's turn to be the new Germany.
America will never fall, apart from their economy and military , their geographical location contributed immensely to their strength.. No country has that advantage in this world..
Trump’s second term in office is not a joke.. Now he’s pulling out from so many bodies, he will intensify his rate of policing the world because no law is holding him anymore
Trump Orders U.S. Withdrawal From 66 International Organisations, Including 31 UN Bodies
The United States President Donald J. Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum directing the U.S. to withdraw from 66 international organizations, including 35 non–United Nations bodies and 31 United Nations entities.
Titled: "Memorandum For The Heads Of Executive Departments And Agencies," published on The White House website, President Trump declared that continued participation in those groups no longer serves American interests.
The directive follows a comprehensive review ordered under Executive Order 14199, signed on February 4, 2025, which required the Secretary of State to assess U.S. involvement in all international intergovernmental organizations, conventions, and treaties receiving American funding or support.
According to the memorandum, the Secretary of State submitted findings that were reviewed by the president and his Cabinet before the final determination was made.
“After deliberating with my Cabinet, [I] have determined that it is contrary to the interests of the United States to remain a member of, participate in, or otherwise provide support to the organizations listed,” Trump stated in the memorandum.
Under the order, all executive departments and agencies are instructed to take “immediate steps” to effectuate U.S. withdrawal as soon as legally permissible. For United Nations entities, withdrawal will involve ceasing participation or funding to the extent allowed by law.
The list of affected non-UN organizations spans a wide range of policy areas, including climate change, energy, environmental conservation, democracy promotion, cultural preservation, cybersecurity, and regional cooperation.
Among them are the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the International Renewable Energy Agency, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and the Freedom Online Coalition.
The memorandum also orders withdrawal from several regional and security-related groups, including the Global Counterterrorism Forum, the International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law, and the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia.
On the United Nations side, the administration directed the U.S. to cease participation in or funding for multiple UN offices, commissions, and programs, including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, UN Women, the UN Population Fund, UN Conference on Trade and Development, and several offices focused on human rights, peacebuilding, and development.
Other affected UN bodies include the International Law Commission, the Peacebuilding Fund, UN Water, UN Oceans, and the UN University system.
The memorandum emphasizes that the review process is ongoing and signals that additional organizations or agreements could be targeted in the future.
“My review of further findings of the Secretary of State remains ongoing,” Trump wrote.
Implementation of the order will be carried out by the State Department, which is authorized to issue additional guidance to federal agencies as needed. The memorandum also specifies that the directive does not override existing legal authorities or budgetary controls and does not create enforceable legal rights for any party.
The decision marks one of the most sweeping withdrawals from international institutions by the United States in modern history and reflects the Trump administration’s renewed “America First” approach to foreign policy, prioritizing national sovereignty, cost reduction, and reassessment of multilateral commitments.
The Secretary of State has been directed to publish the memorandum in the Federal Register.

If Islam is good as they are pushing this narrative , it would have penetrated smoothly in Igbo land. Unfortunately Islam can not thrive in Igbo land because our culture abhors such religion .
Muslim don’t believe in Alcohol, even tho they drink it more secretly.. Igbos can’t do without Alcohol and kola nut ..
Wedding and traditional marriage, alcohol must be involved( Palm wine). Events and gathering cannot be complete without alcohol. This is just one of the reasons Islam can never grow in Igbo land..
If Igbos didn’t embrace Islam years ago, is it now the whole western world is cracking down on the activities of Islamic fanatics all over the world after seeing what they are upto that they would embrace it ?
I would rather worship a tree, than to be a Muslim..
Jakpon: Going by your watery logic, iboland should be a template of good governance and socio-economic growth, but the case is not so.
More than half of the population of ibos in Nigeria are outside iboland in search of greener pastures elsewhere. Your incompetent leaders have outsourced their responsibility to the Governors of other regions whose meagre allocation for their own people is also used to take care of the ibos who are scattered all over the country.
Your region has a very tiny landmass - Niger State alone is larger than the combination of the five states in the south east. Governance should have been easy over there considering how ridiculously small you are, but again, that is not the case. It is the least populated region that contributes the least into the federation account, with nothing significantly exciting happening there in terms of socio-economic development and governance
Normally I shouldn’t have replied you because you have been programmed to reason in a particular way, but for the sake of readers, I have to ..
GDP is what is used to measure development, which Imo state Igbo land is 4th after Lagos, Rivers Akwa Ibom , then followed by Delta which I am proud of.. I don’t wanna use IGR which Enugu state is even number one in 2025 , because that should not be counted as development ….
Again, when it comes to migration, a data was released here around july 2025, and we all saw how you all have fled Osun Oyo for Lagos, making South west number one region in Nigeria that don’t stay in their state, only for SS and SE to be at the bottom, against the propaganda you guys have sold for ages about migration..
And finally , you are taking about land mass, don’t you know that Taraba state alone is two times bigger than that entire South West ?. But due to the fact that you have been programmed to reason in a particular way like I stated earlier , you couldn’t do your findings to find out that what defines a Nation or group is productivity and population, not a land mass.. Btw, what made you think that every Igbo man you see on nairaland is from south East, that is why Igbo land begins and ends in SE according to your understanding ?
E no go better for person wey program Una to be reasoning this way.
Yes Igbo presidency under this democratic dispensation is due.. It’s about time !!
We led the formation of this country, we Igbos were first to lead and pilot the affairs of this country in all parts of government both in the military and democracy.. Things were very fantastic until some amateurs started finding themselves in the corridors of power, hence the economic contraction we are seeing today.. Things would escalate if novice, drug dealers, certificate forgers, terrorists and criminals keep piloting the affairs of this Nation..
We did it before, and we are going to do it again..
