THIS OP IS MISLEADING PEOPLE THE TOPIC AND THE CONTENT ARE TWO PARALLEL LINES WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE CREATING PROBLEMS ONLINE BECOS KNOW BODY IS SEEING THEM.

hummerwise:


can you imagine this dullard speaking.....
of all the comments here made today this is the dullest. ..

THE PROBLEM WITH U GUYS IS THAT U KEEP CONTESTING WITH THE TRUTH , LET SEE HOW IT GOES I DONT HAVE TIME FOR DRUNKEN BABOON LIKE YOU.

GstringAngela:
How can you acheive secession without your politicians? Okay let me school you a bit.

Did you know that the constituiton of Nigeria has no provision for referendum. Which invariably means that the UN Charter for self determination has no locus standi in Nigeria in this context. In other words, the UN cannot conduct a plebscite in a sovereign state whose laws give no room for such, as the case is with Nigeria

However, you have the civic right to recall your legislatures who arent pro-biafra and elect those who have secession as their campaign manifesto. When they get to plenary, urge them to lobby for a constitutional ammendment; let them sponsor bills that will see to the incluslion of referendum in the constitution. All these and many more are the modus operandi involved in acheiving secession

These are the sort of things namdi kanu ought to have taught you air heads instead of threatning to wage war against Nigeria

Mr man you are just talking trash i wonder where you school and how you manage graduate, we have considered every options and we chooses this one though it seems hared but at the end Biafra will come, you know very well that the option you are suggesting is not posible in Nigeria today, how many senetor and Rep members does the Igbo produce in Nigeria that will lobby the Yoruba and Huasa Falani to include referrandum in our constitution knowing fully well they will be preparing the ground for Nigeria to break up. we know all these that is why we have chosen to follow the hard way which is the only possible way for now, we want to get our Biafra restored in honour and dignity not by begging people for our freedom. We dont expect UN, US or other world powers to help us achieve our dream, this struggle has more of divine undertone than physical struggle from all indication we know that God is with us and he is doing his miracle gradually. First charge was drop, second was dismiss and this third one and even more will be dead on arrival trust CHUKWUOKIKE ABIAMA THE GOD OF SIGNS & WONDERS OF THE THE BIAFRANS.

kettykin:


Sending him to jail will actually not stop biafra, the federal government has already committed a big blunder, the next blunder would be to commit someone whom the courts freed to jail, it would make the judiciary a huge joke and would make ipob to prepare for an armed struggle which will not be palatable, the government should release him so that people can rest and do their business.

Bros you get brain well well pass even Seeuunn him self , you are the only one that has reason like refined human being hope you did not school in this Zoo. your reasoning capacity surpass that of DSS, Buhari, S.eun, and other Monkeys here in NL. keep it up
you just said it all.

Pro-Biafra protesters are welcome to hold their planned demonstrations in Lagos, but they should do so within the law, Nigerian security forces have told IBTimes UK. Defence spokesperson, Colonel Rabe Abubakar, made the comment as a pro-Biafran group announced it will hold demonstrations in Lagos on 16 and 17 December.

Abubakar said: "We have never had problems with pro-Biafran or any other type of protests as long as they are done peacefully and in respect of the constitution. There shouldn't be any violence or obstructions causing havoc. There is no need for any person to act against the constitution. We will work to make sure there won't be any volatile situation."

Iran calls for probe into Nigeria Shia killings

Tue Dec 15, 2015 6:17PM
HomeIranPolitics

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani
Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has called for the establishment of a fact-finding committee in Nigeria to investigate the recent military crackdown on Shia Muslim community in the African country.

“Under the present circumstances, we expect the Nigerian government to sympathize with all victims and prevent the persistence of any kind of unrest by issuing firm instructions,” Rouhani said in a telephone conversation with his Nigerian counterpart Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.

Local media said on December 12 that more than a dozen people were killed after clashes erupted between the Nigerian army and Shia Muslims in the northern city of Zaria, Kaduna State. The military accused the Shias of attempting to assassinate Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, the chief of the Nigerian army staff. 

Nigerian soldiers opened fire on the people attending a religious ceremony at Hussainiyyah Baqeeyatullah, a religious center belonging to the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN).


Top Nigerian Shia cleric, Ibrahim al-Zakzaky
One day later, revered Nigerian Shia cleric Ibrahim al-Zakzaky and his wife were arrested during a raid by the army on his residence and the buildings connected to the Shia community in Zaria. Local sources say hundreds of people trying to protect the cleric were killed.

Rouhani further warned of plots to cause discord among Muslim countries and urged Muslim nations to remain united and vigilant against schemes.

“We should not let minor differences grow into deep-seated conflicts and differences,” Rouhani said, adding that the Muslim world currently needs to settle issues peacefully.

He also expressed Iran’s readiness to dispatch medical teams to Nigeria to treat those injured in the recent wave of violence.

Buhari, for his part, said he would fulfill his responsibility to ensure safety of the Nigerian Muslims and meticulously probe the recent deadly incidents.

Nigeria attacks pre-planned plot: Larijani

Speaker of Iran’s parliament (Majlis) Ali Larijani said on Tuesday that the recent bloody attacks against Shia Muslims in Nigeria were a pre-planned plot in the best interests of the Israeli regime.

In a letter to Nigeria’s Speaker of the House of Representatives Dogara Yakubu, Larijani added that the painful incident was aimed at causing discord among Muslim sects.

He condemned the attacks and called for the immediate release of Zakzaky.

OP
Did you read the link you posted?

yes but please is Nigeria a Muslim country or a secular one. the key word in the news is coalition of 34 mainly Muslim countries. why would Buhari drag us into such coalition without the senate debating on the issue. Bros this is democracy not detectorship.

Trut:
Akpos jumps from bed and starts shouting "God save me, save me, save me. The wife asked, did you have a nightmare? He says yes. The wife asked ask again, were you been chased by a lion? Akpos replied; lion is even better. I nearly voted for Buhari again

my friend be serious this is not a joke section...

Aljazeera ; this morning announced that Nigeria has joined a 34 member Islamic military alliance led by Saudi Arabia!!!!
When during the campaigns, we raised the alarm that APC as presently constituted and led by Buhari has a singular agenda of Islamizing Nigeria,
The cardinal question now is this; when was the bill presented, debated and passed at the National Assembly to enable Saint Buhari drag us into this avoidable jihadist army??.
Nigeria is a secular state by virtue of the constitution.
During his campaign, Buhari told us he has changed from his extremist viewpoint and standpoint; please can someone tell me what the hell is going on as we are on the verge of being declared a militant Islamic nation.............

Nobody even know you if you like unfollow them 1 million times, the truth must be told and at the Biafra will be restored.

Na liver cuttage it make you sick emotionally and psychologically.

Who is he I want to know.

Buhari is a terrorist........IPOB

You need to tell us the meaning of Nigeria first before you ask this your question.

You are the man Nnamdi Kanu I love ur courage. Haters shud stand off.

For What na.

Quite lengthy but I managed to read all because of the writers objectivity and neutrality on the Biafra issue. The buhari Govt. Made a very big mistake on handling the Biafra issue, maybe God is using them as catalyst to facilitate the Restoration of Baifra nation.

Fellow Nigerians, the roof is on fire. And the owners of the house should not sleep and snore lest they get badly burnt. Please, let no one treat or dismiss this Biafra controversy as humbug because it is very serious and has the potential of spiralling out of control and snowballing into an unprecedented conflagration of unquenchable propensities. War has never been a tea party.

I was about seven years old when the Nigerian civil war broke out in July 1967. I was a child but not too young not to know and understand some of what was happening. I certainly felt the tremor of it even in far-away Ile-Ife. We knew something was definitely wrong when we suddenly noticed the inexplicable disappearance of our neighbours and family friends. The most painful for us in my own home was the forceful separation from our prayer warrior and spiritual Guru, Papa Fineface. Papa Fineface had migrated from the Eastern part of Nigeria to Ile-Ife many years earlier. Suddenly like a wisp of smoke he was gone! At that time, we called such citizens of Nigeria from that part, Ibo. Much later, I somehow learnt that the people should actually be addressed as Igbo. Well, we continued to use the two names interchangeably till today.

The civil war that started like a joke raged on for about three years and sent many innocent casualties, running into millions, into despair and sorrow. Hundreds of thousands went on a journey of no return to their Maker. Many more lost their limbs and other vital body parts. Others parted ways with all their worldly possessions. Some still carry the scars of war till this day, more than 45 years after the war ended.

The post war trauma is certainly even far worse. I have read many Nigerian civil war accounts, as I grew older, in newspapers, books, novels and memoirs. By any of the accounts, the pogrom was maniacal and the extent of man’s inhumanity to man was heartrending. Unfortunately, History is no longer a compulsory subject in our school curriculum. Therefore, there is no point blaming those beating the drums of war. Most of them were either too young to appreciate the horror of the war or worse still had not even been born at the end of the war.  It is therefore easy for them to romanticise the ideals which they fight for and issue a call to arms even though they know nothing about the horrible plight that they would want to plunge their people and their country into. If they could just travel down memory lane and see for themselves what the true meaning of war is and why it should never ever be contemplated on our shores again, maybe they will begin to see some sense and reason. It is a shocking shame that despite the graphic images of sectarian violence that we have witnessed all over the world in recent times, in other climes, those in the know who have lived abroad and had access to such information and images will still feel that they must unleash similar violence on their own country and people.

The reason for the preamble thus far is to settle one fact; that I knew a bit about the Biafran war even if I did not experience it directly. This is why all men and women of good conscience should urgently reach out to the young folks stoking the embers of revolution, secession, war, or whatever they wish to call it and beg them profusely to kindly perish the thought. Such ideas have no place in Nigeria of the 21st century. We thought that they had been consigned to the dustbin of history but alas that is not the case probably because that history has been denied the propagators of these ill-thought and ill-conceived notions. The bigger plea should even go to the Federal Government of Nigeria. My reason is simple. The government is about to pour petrol and explosives into the towering inferno by reacting angrily to a battle that is in its infancy and can still be nipped in the bud without casualties.

As for me and our house, we did not know of anyone called Nnamdi Kanu until he was arrested and locked up during a visit to Nigeria from his base in the United Kingdom a few months ago. At the very best, some people knew him as the founder of a pirate radio station called Radio Biafra. I’ve never tuned in to it and so wouldn’t know what profanities it disseminated that led to the government chasing its owners. I’m aware that even about 20 years ago, when I participated in the Radio Freedom (later changed to Radio Kudirat) from the same United Kingdom, it was impossible to track us down. We communicated with the central operations, located in a Scandinavian country, remotely by telephone. The rest was left to the engineers to sort out.

Today, technology has become even more advanced and volatile. The whizz-kids of science are on the rampage. And don’t forget that the Igbo people are naturally brilliant in all spheres of human endeavour. They are endowed with genes that we could liken to those of Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Pythagoras, and Bertrand Russell combined. If the Black man would ever venture into Space exploration, I’m sure of the shock that awaits us; an Igbo would not only land on the moon, he would have a permanent abode there and a shop to sell all common needs to us. Such is the dynamism of the Igbo geniuses that I often refer to them as the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans of Africa all rolled into one.  

It is usually an exercise in futility to ban anyone or anything. I was once told by my former Literature teacher at the then University of Ife, Okot p’Bitek, who was a visiting Professor from Uganda, about how one of his controversial works, Song of Lawino, was ostracised by Government because of its atheistic proclivity but all that it did was that many readers rushed out in search of the book and soon it was all sold out. Many reprints came thereafter and the literary giant was smiling all the way to the bank whilst the object of the ban was roundly defeated.The same thing happened to Salman Rushdie when he released a book of complete heresy The Satanic Verses, according to Muslims in 1989 and a Fatwa was placed on his head. That was what attracted people like me to find, buy and read this much-talked about work of esoteric literature. As a matter of fact, when I could not get a copy to buy initially, I had to photocopy the only one in circulation which was owned by my boss for life, Mr Mike Awoyinfa of the Weekend Concord fame. I still bought an original copy much later. The hype generated against the book actually worked wonders in its favour. Salman Rushdie, from relative obscurity became a household name from then onwards.

I will give only one more example nearer to home. When Professor Wole Soyinka released his prison memoirs titled The Man Died, Nigeria’s military authorities frowned at its rambunctious flavour and clamped down on it pronto but the attempt failed woefully. As a young man, the day I bought my personal copy would rank amongst my happiest days on earth. I had heard too many fabulous stories about Soyinka’s socio-political exploits and could not wait to settle down and savour the breezy work. Soyinka became my idol henceforth.

I have cited these examples in order to demonstrate the pointlessness and uselessness of locking up Nnamdi Kanu. What the government needed to do was to meet him on the field of ideas and pummel him with superior logic. They should have allowed him even to come on national television and explain his new concept of Biafranism. He should show the world if he was more brilliant and braver than our Oxford-trained Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu who fought gallantly before absconding to safety while leaving behind a tale of woes. Nnamdi would have been asked to justify the claims in certain quarters that the Igbos are treated like second class citizens in Nigeria. I would have wished to be told that Azikiwe, Ekwueme, Okadigbo, Enwerem, Wabara, Soludo, Okonjo-Iwealla, Pius Anyim, Ezekwesili, Nnaji, Emefiele, Ovia, Elumelu, Kachikwu, Onu, Ngige, Onyiuke, Onyeama, and others are from Planet Mars.

Some of what Mr Kanu advocates are not much different from the current battles the Government is waging, especially against Boko Haram, corruption and societal decay.  I am not even sure that the Government or those presently pursuing him have bothered to read the mission statement of Radio Biafra. I hereby produce it below:

“The ONLY PURPOSE for the existence of Radio Biafra London is to set a largely misinformed public free from the twin evil of tyrannical rule of a cabal of ill-educated and institutionally corrupt men and women and the sponsored sectarian killings directed against Christian Southerners living in Northern Nigeria by terrorists operating in the name of Islam. It will also serve to articulate a solution to the plight of impoverished and confused Igbo families abandoned by their leaders in Northern Nigeria to a fate worse than those endured by black slaves in plantations in the Americas.

Radio Biafra London will use and deploy every available resource to campaign for the rights of all oppressed indigenous peoples of Southern Nigeria to determine how they wish to structure their societies and live their lives. Radio Biafra London would broadcast debates on issues of national and international importance affecting the lives and rights of the indigenous peoples of Biafra and indeed indigenous people of all ethnic persuasions in Nigeria.

Radio Biafra London further wishes to give advance warning to all looters, embezzlers, kidnappers, sponsors of terrorism, child traffickers, corrupt judges, crooked university lecturers, murderous Nigerian security forces and all thieving individuals masquerading as public officials who steal public funds thereby preventing developmental projects from impacting positively on the lives of the ordinary people. These looters and workers of iniquity will be named and shamed. There will be no hiding place for common thieves who use the cover of high political offices to steal in the name of Nigerian politics. For Radio Biafra London, there will be nothing like no-go-areas in what can be reported, discussed and analysed. The governing principle of the Public-Right-To-Know of the issues affecting their lives will be rigorously upheld.”

There is a constitutional right to freedom of speech.  It is only when it begins to tear at the very fabric of society that the right needs to be curtailed. There are many more voices agitating for a Biafra. They include Biafra Foundation (Voice of Biafra International), Biafra Liberation in Exile, Biafra Liberation in Europe, Lower Niger Congress, Biafra Liberation Council, Biafra State Coalition, Eastern Mandate Union and Bilie Human Rights Initiative. Some of them have been in existence for some time before Kanu’s Radio Biafra. Is the government going to muzzle all of these nebulous organisations?

The government should have called the bluff of those calling for the State of Biafra by doing what the British government recently did to the Scots in the matter of agitating for an independent Scotland when they allowed the Scottish referendum.  All they need to do is to ask the Igbos to vote and determine where they want to belong, Biafra or Nigeria! I seriously doubt if majority of Igbo people would leave certainty for uncertainty.

The terrible danger of incarcerating Mr Nnamdi Kanu is the unnecessary apotheosis he is certain to enjoy if anything untoward happens to him. Except there is ample evidence to suggest and convince the government that he and his collaborators have procured arms and ammunition to wage war against Nigeria, I think he should not have been detained for this long. Whilst it may seem that he openly solicited for arms to wage war at the World Igbo Conference in Los Angeles in September 2015 it does not seem that this was an appeal made in earnest or more importantly that he was taken seriously by his audience. I do not believe that this is sufficient evidence to lock him up at this time. Indeed it shows that he is merely craving attention to his cause which unwittingly has been granted to him on a large scale by his unfortunate incarceration by overzealousness. If care is not taken we will have a situation where you may cut off one head of the Hydra only for many more to spring up. We must not allow that to happen!

Mr Kanu and his disciples have the right to dream of their Biafran Eldorado but how many Igbos share that belief is what we don’t know scientifically and we need to know. A people cannot be suppressed forever if the majority wish to go their separate ways but I’m reasonably convinced that there was no cause for alarm until the government reacted angrily against a motley crowd of agitators when it should have downplayed their relevance.

It is not too late to enter into dialogue with our dear Brother, Mr Kanu who has demonstrated clearly that he is now gradually amassing a willing, if not ready, army to help prosecute his proselytising mission…

NK is ultimately going to be tried for treason, not just hate speech.

Get some sense man, self determination and agitation for self rule is not treason. IPOB is registered with the UN Nnamdi kanu being the leader which gives him right to solicit for weapon for self defence if their life is being threatened to death as indigenous people, which is the case here in Nigeria that soldiers killing unarmed Biafrans. The case is a dead one if the judges will be fair but you niaja na.

T.B Joshua has confirmed it I saw a Revolution in Nigeria. Nigeria should pray but people are joking with the whole Biafra thing. Now ask yourself if any revolution you know has ever been peaceful, I dont know of any
