devindevin2000: Afonjas and their useless hate excuse. Did Ojukwu preach hate when he led his own struggle? Ojukwu never uttered one iota of hate or even abused anybody, never said anything bad against yorubas, yet Awolowo not only betrayed him, also starved 3 million Biafraan children to death. Nigeria helped by foreign powers declared war on Biafraa, killing over 5 million. All these happened despite Ojukwu never uttering a single hate speech, rather exhausting all avenues of dialogue, even going to as far Ghana to get an agreement which Gowon reneged on. So stop this Hate Speech Excuse arrant nonsense. Whether Nnamdi Kanu had used or not used hate speech, it would not have changed anything because Ojukwu never used one, yet over 5 million Biafraans were massacred.
baba shut up. Biafran made the first shot which lead to the civil war.
Flets: It is to FG's interest that Nnamdi KANU stays alive. The day KANU is confirmed dead is the day IPOB becomes a militia with a more ruthless leader.
Paperwhite: All I see is a chronically feeble and ill-looking elderly man wasted with bony prominence,baggy clothing in emotional distress not fit in the comity of civilized humanity.
Ninethmare: This is total violation of human right But there is a saying that goes "He who fight and run away lives to fight another day". Watch how kanu will bounce back with full undisputed spirit and take this tyrant we call president by surprise...
bounce on who? I guess not on Mr president unless he is ready to travel 6ft under ground. Even his untrained BSS will not safe him
oluseyiforjesus: Pastor's Daughter fingernails like Queen Jezebel, Daddy GO must hear dis. If I'm in her shoe I will rather open an Orphanage Home or open a Christian Libery
Ngozi123: I've ready quite a few books, articles and watched a few documentaries about the civil war so I know what I'm talking about. In any case, I wouldn't take all of my knowledge about the civil war from Wikipedia as it's not a reliable source. Can you dispute anything I said?
Btw, I'm not a man.
remember your Biafra pounds is not yet recognized.i am not sure he is following the steps of Nelson Mandela because Mandela is known for "anti-apartheid revolutionary" and not a separatist.
Ngozi123: The whole world knows that IPOB are a violent group yet the two Nigeria-based terrorist groups that made the top 4 of the world's deadliest terrorist group index were not IPOB? In fact, IPOB didn't even make the list at all.
On the other hand, the world knows that the Nigerian Army has a huge track record for human rights abuses- something that will be brought up once your inept government stops being of use to the West btw .
The guy was right when he said that the Nigerian army couldn't defeat the Biafrans by themselves- they had tremendous support from the a British as well as a few Arab countries and even the USSR, I believe. Biafra only had military support from France but even that was very minimal. Still, the Nigerian army suffered more casualties than the Biafra army and took 3 whole years to win a war that should have been won in less than 3 months .
Google is your friend my brother for you to go and read about the Civil War.. Wikipedia fall in you
Blue3k: This is a crazy situation. Somebody is lying here. We need witness testimonies and corpes to examine. Either nobody died or five died according to the statements given.
Anyway examine the video and judge for yourselves. I see people throwing rocks at armored vehicle definitely. I also see a man with gun shot wound to his leg.
kmcutez: There is a possibility that they were going to sell the child, but the ritualist angle does not add up. They do not look like ritualists to me.
9jayes: OUT OF EVERY 5 BLACK NIGERIAN IS ONE. USELESS COUNTRY THEY JUST PLENTY FOR NOTHING, FRANCE IS 65M IN POPULATION YET ONE OF THE WORLD POWER BUT NIGERIA OVER 200M CAN NOT DO ANYTHING MEANINGFUL WITH HER POPULATION. SHES ONLY KNOWN FOR TERRORISM, MILITANCY, DRUG DEALERS, CORRUPT LEADERS AND FOLLOWERS ETC. BIAFRA PLEASE COME QUICKLY I CAN'T WAIT

PrettyCrystal: There was pandemonium yesterday at Isigate in Umuahia the capital of Abia State. According to reports from people who were at the scene at the time of the incident, a commercial tricyclist popularly known as Keke driver, was accosted by soldiers for putting a Biafra flag in front of his tricycle. On reaching the military check-point, a solider reportedly stopped him and starting questioning him about what the flag is all about and why he displayed it.
The man who reportedly answered the soldier that it is a Biafran flag, and that he is a proud Biafran - didn't give "satisfactory answer".
According to an eyewitness report, the solider allegedly slapped the Keke driver and started dragging him away in a bid to arrest him. At a point, the man couldn't bear the pain any more and started to defend himself by fighting back as people started gathering to resist the soldiers.
As the incident continued, the soldiers reportedly signaled their base who sent more soldiers to the area..
Pro-Biafrans and residents who were already coming out in their numbers - tried to resist the security operatives, the soldiers were said to have started shooting live bullets at them as seen in the pictures below.
Several residents were reported to have sustained different degrees of injuries following the chaos.
As at yesterday night, soldiers were seen patrolling the area to prevent another fight from residents.
