Igboid:
Is forming the ESN right? Yes! And every sensible Igbo supports him on that.
Seeking for allies where none exist is foolish and waste of time. If MNK can spend more time in sober reflection and analysis of events occurring in SW and all parts of Nigeria rather than on talking, he would understand why there is no allies to be won in Yoruba land.

Let me analyse the Igboho situation for you.

Igboho realized that Yoruba elites like their counterparts in SE are not interested in tackling the Herdsmen issue because of their vested selfish political interests, so he tried to tackle the elites. He fired at the Ooni of Ife, he was counting on the support of the Yoruba commoners to bring their elites to their knee to do the right thing.
This isn't different from the confrontation MNK had with Igbo elites before Ohanaeze and Igbo governors went and brought in the Python when it became obvious MNK would not bend.

Unlike MNK, Igboho doesn't have support of the Yoruba commoners, because the Yoruba society is built on respect of the elders and not respect of what is right or who is doing the right thing. So while Igbo grassroot backed MNK to tackle and insult Igbo elites, Yoruba commoners wanted Igboho to go apologize to Yoruba elites in the name of Omoluabi. The Yoruba commoners are held down by their gerontology culture, the Igbo commoners are not.
Igboho simply cannot fight on without Yoruba commoners support, so he had a mini exile in Germany where he reassessed his options and realized that Yoruba commoners were not worth throwing his life away for, if they are going to support their erring elders over him. In one breath, the Yoruba commoners want Igboho to help them chase Herdsmen away, and in another breath they want him to do so while respecting their elites whose interest involves letting the herdsmen stay to stay in good book of the Fulani political benefactors. The Yoruba commoners therefore suffers from cognitive dissonance, and Igboho is wise enough to not get caught in their maze.
Igboho has done what every reasonable person in his position would do. He has surrendered to the Yoruba elites.

So effectively speaking, there is no allies to be won from SW as things stand,as Igboho has been forced to bend the knee to the Yoruba elites who like their Igbo counterparts are sell outs.

If Kanu had done his homework well, he would have realized this and stop setting Ndiigbo up in the name of useless alliance where non exist.

Ddokie:
Nnamdi Kanu's only interest in life is to break Nigeria. That is what the man sleeps, eats and drinks.

Anything that would help him achieve that is his main focus.

In recent times, he has realized that a united south against the north (particularly the fulani) is the only way to achieve it.

Ordinarily, i would rather he speaks less on anything that concerns the SW. But what do I know.

A man who has the largest follower ship in Nigeria today (even though he is not in the country) cannot be said to be stupid or unintelligent.



He knows nothing you say? Are you serious or you are joking?

Can you gather 5 people to be loyal to you to the point of death? And here you are saying a man who is leading a mass movement of youths (a lot of whom have died and are willing to die for him) know nothing.

E bu nno ike.

Iegendhero:
Not necessarily about Kanu tho but your last statement is wrong.

There are lot of foolish people that have large followership.

booscy:
You must not try to prove that you're mentally deranged.

lordm:
Why destroy a police station, call them terrorists now, they will come out to deny it. Yet they behave like terrorists

booscy:
This was very avoidable if the Nigerian Police was neutral, fair and just.

People are sick of the Nigerian security apparatus protecting foreign murderous Invaders.

I really hope the innocent and incorrupt security officers didn't get caught in the crossfire.

Praxis758:
Someone should tell me that video is a stunt. I've never seen or heard such a barbaric act in my life.

I don't see any reason for fighting if their respective interest is to win souls for God. There shouldn't be competition or manly strive to work for God.

The mission work is spiritual and not secular. The reward is neither economic, material, fame nor monetary but the crowns.

This is a big disgrace. It shows one or both parties are not genuinely converted, I'll trained/taught doctrinally or lack the basic scriptural knowledge.

ShobayoEmma:
This man committed two crimes:

the crime of being a Nigerian


and


the crime of being poor.



RIP.

wakaman:
From the news regarding the issue of drug trafficking/ smuggling which is dominated by the Igbo tribe given statistics as reported would it be fair to say all Igbo are drug peddlers? No
Or take the cliche about Calabar girls!
Or the Omo onile cliche of the Yoruba people.

This is the danger in approving this sort of action.
It is jungle justice.
It is injustice!

wakaman:
Ok
Let him wait for it.
This is wrong.
A non delegated person running a tribe out!
This is bad presence and precedence this is wrong.
You don't judge a tribe you judge individuals and units, never all.

Bad and wrong.
The progression of this incident if not checked is going to have tribes and ethnicity being run out of town by the same all of them sentient, thus if a particular tribe is labelled by the crime of individuals within that tribe it becomes injustice.
As Nigerians depending on part you are from the geography of crime has no tribe marginalised.

We are all represented in the geography of crime in Nigeria.

Today the crux is kidnapping "transnormed" in Fulani.
Tomorrow could be drug pushing " transnormed"
or armed robbery, prostitution,419, rituals, militancy, trafficking etc...
In Nigeria certain crimes are aspered to various tribes as being dominant in population and involvement and patronage in a particular way.

A casual but iffectual cliche is ijebus are misers.
As innocent as the cliche and as stuck on the interpretation, if the run em out of town action catches and it is miserliness that is the crux all ijebus should be and would be run out of town .
As innocent as certain iffectual cliches we pronounce in the tide of this evacuation exercise every and each tribe would run other tribes out based on stereotypical sentiments, not facts as should humans.
Don't kill the good for the bad and ugly.
You would only have bad and ugly people left.

Yes!
