Why is it our so called journalist so disingenuous. How did they come to the conclusion he is IPOB trainer, so if the IPOB bandenas they found on them was APC, PDP, or the Army will the op use the same headlines.
[quote author=wirinet post=60209882]It is your prerogative not to believe in elections in Nigeria and it is your rights not to vote, but does that give you the right to prevent others who believe in elections from voting?[/quote
Sir who prevent you or anyone from voting? Nnamdi Kanu gave an order to his organization the IPOB to boycott the election. Either Nigerians are daft or they are ignorant of the law, where in Nigeria constitution, that boycotting an election by an individual is criminal offence. YES voting is a civil responsibilities but it is voluntary. APC may choose to boycott the Anambra election or any other elections in Nigeria. Nnamdi Kanu has never used the word disrupt the election, boycotting is not disrupt. Nigerians should ask themselves why Kanu continued to have success after success in the court, it's because what he is doing is legal just that Nigerians are misinformed by enemies of Kanu, some people may not like his strategies but he is on the right.
This argument has been made too many times yes it has been confirmed we will lose more than any other tribes. No matter what we think Nigeria will go their separate ways just wait when the oil that glue Nigeria together stop flowing. The questions the Igbos should ask themselves now, are we going to continue losing more and more or is it not time for us to mitigate our losses on our own terms because the more we prolong it the more we continue to increase our losses. We Igbos has already made the mistake the west or the North may wake up tomorrow and leave Nigeria of which I'm 100% will happen so my Igbo brothers and sisters it's time to count our losses now that is 4t than when it goes to 5,6,7trillon.
PrettyCrystal: Just few days ago, it was reported that security operatives have increased the number of their personnel in the South-East and South-South zones of the country as part of measures to prevent a breach of the peace, which may result from the activities of Biafran agitators ahead of the upcoming Anambra State governorship election.
The police also said it was waiting for court pronouncement for the arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu. Nigerian Government had previously demanded that the Federal High Court in Abuja revoke the bail granted to Kanu.
Now, at least 10 trailers conveying armored tanks and military hardware were seen entering the South East as residents and passersby watched in fear.
According to reports, the security operatives have placed the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, under surveillance to prevent him from fleeing the country should the court revoke his bail and order his re-arrest for allegedly flouting his bail conditions.
They just made the boycott of Anambra election so easy for Nnmadi Kanu. Why do this government think backwards, using intimidation and fear. You want people to come out and vote but you are bringing tanks who will leave his/her house knowing too well that if anything goes wrong they may not come home alive.
And some hypocrites want IPOB to be compared ISIS because of their non violence. Nigerians please between IPOB members and APC members who are miscreants APC that go about destroying properties and IPOB that conduct there rallies without any incident.
EmeeNaka: I don't like President Buhari's attitude but IPOB must be stopped. IPOB terrifies people, creating uncertainty and they can be compared to ISIS.
What have they done to terrifies you, that you want them to compared to ISIS have they destroyed, bomb, kill any of your family member . IPOB has conducted themselves well more than they political parties and politicians we have in Nigeria today, but you hypocrites are afraid they are winning. Only in Nigeria that a call for referendum is crime.
Hardeysolution: What have you done to change this country old man? We are not all stupid Sir. Things may not really look rosy but we know that good achievements pass through hardship. We also know that this present government has some flaws but that isn't a basis or foundation for your claims. You can't disintegrate the nation who gave you a senatorial seat that you achieved nothing. You should have your head buried in shame.
All of you are useless even Buhari!! You people should be role models but you're just being disturbed by influences of undertones. I'm not a fan of stupidity. I'm a fan of reality that leads to excellence. President Buhari is trying, but he's been driven by external and internal unrealistic influences like religion and tribe at the expense of one Nigeria.
Let's cooperate to wholeheartedly involve in changing this county all from all primary elections. We vote those they field for us. They might be wrong too.
Nigeria will be great again I tell you!! It may be long, but I'm sure it will be achieved
Nigeria will be great again since 1960. Great again my foot, doing the same things over and expecting different results are impossible.
All this just to stop Kanu but can't put all the man power to checkmate Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen. Nigerian government and their misplaced priorities.
I have been telling you, you will be a victim of terrorist attack in no distant time . What you wish for others will first visit you in the name of almighty God. As you look at a 15 years old innocent boy as terrorist your own child will be the terrorist that will kill you Amen.
17,000 live bombs found in a house in Owerri, another 44,000 bombs scattered around.
The Nigerian Army has deployed soldiers to take over security of the premises housing 17,000 live bombs in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
The soldiers from the 34 Artillery Brigade, Obinze, were said to have taken over the premises few days ago.
Similarly, a team of bomb experts from the 34 Artillery Brigade have been dispatched to the site where the explosives are being stockpiled at No. 109, Achike Udenka Avenue in new Owerri, a densely populated area, to get a first hand information of the situation on the explosives, with a view to reporting to the authorities on the next line of action.
This is even as Professor Yakubu, has raised fresh alarm over the presence of another 44,000, bombs in some uncleared locations across the southeastern part of the country, saying some of these explosives are located in schools, churches, markets and other public places.
Biafran Secret Service Fear The explosive expert who expressed delight over the concern of the army authorities, especially with the security challenges in the country and the establishment of a Biafran Secret Service recently, said “the soldiers would guard the place until we are ready to destroy the bombs.” Beside the military authorities, Yakubu, said he had also been contacted by officials from the Department of State Security Services(DSS), who he said have been providing security for the premises after he contacted them over the issue during the 2015 general elections.
Security on the premises
When contacted over the security of the premises by soldiers, the Public Relations Officer in charge of 34 Artillery Brigade, Captain Haruna Tagwai, said “the army has already provided security on the premises, but the property belongs to the Ministry of Defence.” He said “if you want to get more fact about it, you can contact the press’s secretary in the Ministry of Defence.”
The Nigerian military are trying so hard to set kanu up professor Yakubu my foot all of sudden a Hausa man is the one who found bombs in the east my people there is something fishy going down in the east from the federal government of Nigeria that our people should woke up from their sleep.
arsenal33: People like you are the reason Nigeria is in this situation. You just find it hard to blame hoodlums and looters.
You said people like me, yes people like me don't take a one sided stories she was not the first journalist to cover stories in Owerri. Having said that, I'll reiterate my points that no matter what happened she doesn't deserve what happened to her and I still want the complete story.
konoplyanka: I wonder why leaders don't know how to achieve things successfully in this nation when its forvtge general good.
restructuring cab be achieved. meet with the Yoruba senators and representatives and governors. marshal your points to them and let them present it in the house. let them lobby other senators.
meet with prominent obas and let them carry all the emirs and ezes along and present the benefits to them.
this will go a long way in making them lean towards restructuring. this should be a selfless service that can be done.
Igbo leaders can consult other leaders about Biafra. make your points to them why you need Biafra.
people should learn consultations and lobbying in this 21st century not preaching hate and shouting on the pages of newspapers. carry people along and stop this defeatist ideology of the north can never agree to restructuring and Biafra. to me, its a big lie.
I agree with you 100%, that is the way it supposed to be, but the problem and why someone like Kanu and his IPOB are not taking the route is that they understand Nigeria configuration very well. There is imbalance in our system, democracy they say is all about numbers, the Nigerian military has configured the country in such away that the north will always have the majority both in upper and lower chambers.
CastedDude: A female journalist was attacked by unknown hoodlums when they were invading Owerri, Imo capital city.. According to her, the thugs attacked her opposite the NUJ Secretariat along Port-Harcourt road, and the beat her up mercilessly in the process. The hoodlums also made away with her valuables such as cash, union I.D card and phone.
The story is not complete, what was she reporting on? Not that I'm supporting what happened to her far from it no one deserves to be beaten up, but it is imperative for the story to be complete. Why was she the victim we need to know.
GoroTango: The SE governors got the message the FG sent over Nnamdi Kanu and his flagrant breach of his bail conditions. Knowing that should Kanu be arrested, the resulting unrest in the region would hamper their ability to govern effectively and hence the rationale behind this meeting. If Buhari knows whats best for the unity of this country he should insist on crushing IPOB once and for all, and deal with the fallout
Nigeria and your Buhari can't handle the fallout, talk is cheap.
EmeeNaka: hmm! we don't do that in Igboland. Nnamdi KANU is even being childish.
We Igbos may not be accustom to this kind of respect, but for you to say Kanu is being childish is not fair just because of an over excited individual's action. This is just picture you are not there to observe what may have been said after, Kanu may have told him is not God to be worshiped we never know. It's time we Nigerians understand that Kanu's supporters love him with passion, hate him or like him Kanu can never be in control of what all his excited fans does around him because he is not inside their mind.
Wait a minute, If I can still remember my people are still Nigerians or I'm I missing something here. So because we are agitating for Biafra we are no longer citizens. Let Nigerian government grant them their country and see what happen.
And that is how Air France that was meant to depart Paris for Lagos since about 9:00am today hasn't taken off till now and passengers (even business class passengers) are left to sleep at the airport lounge, including women and children.
A particular lady with her children coming from Toronto arrived since 7:00am to connect to lagos. She has since been stranded at the airport with her children...no food, no hotel accommodation! Air France only provided vouchers for pastries and snacks and the children do not eat those so they have been eating only Bananas.
These passengers bought these tickets with hard earned monies. And it's not even cheap! Why should these airlines treat our citizens like this Even when they know our country is one of their most lucrative routes . What is so difficult in getting hotel accommodation for these passengers, especially the women and children Mothers are weeping at Charles de Gaulle airport. It is so heartbreaking.
Maduawuchukwu: Nnamdi Kanu was granted bail by the courts but in his wisdom he chose to flout it. He should accept his fate.
The same court granted him bail, the federal government disobeyed the court order so what will be the federal government fate? Kanu was just following in the footstep of the president.
Josephjnr: Apart from stopping Nigerians parasitic feeding as you said from the South,which other significant change will actualization of Biafra bring? I think changing our minds first,is the likely solution to Nigeria's problem.
When you said minds what do you really mean, I believe also we Nigerians need mindsets Change but I'm also believe that no matter the Change in mindsets if they structures are faulty it is a waste of time. Take an example of a drug addict, for you to rehabilitate a drug addict, first you have to change his/her environment before you even start treatment.

Are you moving the goalposts? I'm 100% sure you are among the people who has been condemning Kanu on his approach that he is calling for war, not withstanding that he is non violence, but now you want him to use violence. Hypocricy is an evidence of a weak mind.
PassingShot: No president worth his salt will say the unity of the country he presides over is negotiable.
The world over, a group of people who wants to secede will go through either of two options:
1. Referendum: This is only applicable if there is provision for such in the constitution. Unfortunately for all of us, our constitution doesn't provide for it which means no president has that privilege to allow it else he'd be committing an impeachable offence. To take this route, the group wishing to secede MUST first work to get the constitution amended through the NASS. And if GEJ from SS region couldn't work for that amendment, it's foolish to expect a president from any other region to work for it.
2. Violence: This unfortunately is the only other option. We all know what comes with it are death, destruction, sorrow, hunger and many other humanitarian crisis. If you didn't witness the civil war of 1966, and you were too young to see what happened in Liberia, Somalia, Rwanda and many other African countries, you're surely seeing what is happening in Syria, Central African Republic, DRC and many others.
So, PMB is right to have said it unequivocally that Nigeria's unity is not negotiable just as those before him were right in saying so.
The earlier the Chief Idiot and Pig of Biafra (Terrorist Kanu) and his fellow idiots and pigs realized this and be guided, the better for all of us.
Nigeria as a country may not be negotiable but the way we citizens will go about living in it is negotiable.
Truthbtold1: How can somebody that supposedly lived part of his life in a civilized environment come and declare his own secret service in a sovereign State. It is a treasonable act and should be dealt with decisively. Try this rubbish in USA or other sane climes na your neighbour self go shoot you.
MXrap: Just shut that dirty smelly mouth. Those that NK claimed to have brainwashed are not Anambrans but imported miscreants from his state. The people that will vote in the election are Anambrans like myself and not some imported miscreants from Imo and Abia states. People shall come out and vote. NK and his fellow miscreants from Abia state would not even be around or anywhere near Anambra if not they will all meet their waterloo. We shall make a statement with this election to prove to you people that we are not part of this ipob charade.
[s][/s]
See the miscreants boarding their buses in Aba. The people that converged at Ekwulobia were the same imported Aba miscreants.
YOU all are in denial, no doubt you will vote but dismiss Nnamdi Kanu, at your own peril.
He is using Anambra has a testing ground for the impending massacre by the Nigerian Armed Forces.
When Kanu is done with Anambra, Abians would be throwing bombs into Anambra for the bloodshed there former gay club stripper caused them.
Kanu is just anxious to reduce the population of Anambran's so that Abians can ascend to be the Number One citizens of Biafra.
The gay club stripper definitely has a plan which he has hatched with the people of Abia.
"Follow them to Burutai's nozzle and desert them"
One thing you all are forgetting about the boycott is this it is voluntarily for people to seat at home if you stay home will the law enforcement agent come to your home to force you to vote no they have no right to do that. Look there will be an election in Anambra state but know that the turn out will be too low between 5/10% which is what IPOB want. They want to make a statement to Nigeria and world, and they will succeed because Nnamdi Kanu went to the masses and he has won them over up to 80/90% of the masses are with him dismiss it or disagree with me that is the reality. For years in this country, our so called elites have taken the power of the masses for granted because of it our Igbo elites made a strategic mistake by dismissing Nnamdi Kanu and his followers. When they are calling fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, young and old miscreants, hoodlums, thugs and jobless just to dehumanizing them as usual they all forget they are the demographic that comes out to vote 80% of the times. Now you want them to come out to vote for you.
SalamRushdie: Impressive policing from the NPF I must say .They must look into every angle just to make sure nobody is playing smart ..The woman left herself open to suspicion the moment she took the child to her church instead of the nearest authorities and from there further took the child to another station outside the jurisdiction she claimed she saw the child ..I must say this is impressive policing and I stand with the Nigerian police on this ..Great call by the police
I don't think you are a police officer, and I'm also sure you never majored in criminal justice so just know you are wrong, the word impressive is far from it, this is the worst policing you can think of. First, policing in Nigeria is among the worst and this case just demonstrate it . In an organized society, the first would have been to call the emergency number like 911 and police would have come pick the child at the place where the child was found but you know that don't happen in Nigeria. How many citizens in Nigeria know which station is in their jurisdictions. The police can't just arrest someone on just suspicion, all they would have done is question her get all the necessary informations and let her go but keep a very close eye on her.
