You won't learn with your stubbornness and it's getting your people into serious trouble. When will your brain tell you that secession can't be achieved with the way and manner Kanu is handling things? Kanu asked you to abuse anybody but igbos for your woes and you followed blindly creating more enemies for yourselves.

FG has proscribed ipob as a terror group same as Boko Haram. So what do you expect to be done to a proscribed group causing nuisance everywhere? A pat on the back? We all know how ipobs always boast here on NL that nothing can harm them, that Kanu has even stockpiled ammunitions citing that 2020 is different from 1967.

I know most of you won't learn but by the time Nigerian "uncultured" soldiers kill about 10000 ipob youths, sense will surely fall on you. You can't even start a war now because the world powers have no interest in a divided Nigeria. They will rather join Nigeria to annihilate igbos again as they did in 1967. There are better ways to approach issues but Kanu's way is out of it. You think everyone is happy with a failed country like Nigeria àbi? The Yorùbás you claimed to hate you and always against your agitation for secession will be the first to sign any available agreement for secession.

Ask Kanu to stop pushing gullible igbo youths to their untimely deaths. Aboki soldiers are trigger-happy always and are ready to kill and be killed. Wake up and get sense.

You Nigerians make me laugh. You watch your federal government basterdise the rule of law, commit human rights abuse and turn the constitution on its head. There is nothing Nnamdi Kanu is doing that is not already covered by the Nigerian constitution or international law Nigeria is signatory to. Anyone or any group is allowed to protest or agitate for independence. Wether that agitation brings about independence does not come into it, what matters is that they are allowed to do it.

If anyone feels that Kanu or IPOB are verbal abusing them, they should feel free to explore legal means and go to court. Verbal abuse is not a criminal offense

The security agents have been shooting and killing unarmed IPOB protesters long before IPOB was procribed in 2017, the Amnesty International report of 2016 that detailed the killing of 150 unarmed IPOB is still online for all to see.

Then the Nigerian government prescribes IPOB in 2017, the first time in history that an unarmed organisation is declared a terrorist group. Meanwhile, armed killer herdsmen that are killing thousands of Nigerians each year are offered Ruga settlement

Granted that the Federal government has proscribed IPOB, does that give the security agents to go about killing unarmed people that are identified as IPOB? It does not. Even killing an unarmed enemy Soldier in war is a war crime covered by the Geneva convention. Nothing justifies the killing of unarmed people.

The reality is that the federal government and its security forces have disregarded the constitution, commited extra-judicial murder and human rights abuses. Its a tragedy because if government cannot uphold the law, then who can?

Ojiofor:
So why protest when you know you'll get shot at, more especially, when the government have made your group number 1 enemy of the state and of course your group through their loud mouths promised to destroy the zoo,should the zoo sit and watch you destroy her as your supreme leader has boasted?The zoo is simply fighting back.Ndi egbe onu,ndi oji onu egbu Odum.The government is unfortunately taking your empty threats serious.

Yes government took the verbal threats of unarmed people very serious but is rehabilitating armed Boko haram members back into society and rolling out Ruga programmes for armed killer herdsmen who murder Nigerians everyday

Ojiofor:
I did not want Nnamdi Kanu dead and likewise do I want to see IPOB youths continue dying for Nnamdi Kanu.Nnamdi Kanu run away from danger and at the same time be raising 3 headed dragon flag from the safety of his home in exile.my point is that, he shouldn't continue endangering the lives of our youths from the comfort of exile.Everyone has seen he wasn't truthful when he was screeming 'Biafra or death'.
And finally,Biafra is not coming anytime soon because nobody is working towards her actualization at the moment.

Nobody is dying for Nnamdi Kanu, people are dying because the security forces left their role of being protectors of life to become killers of life. Pro-democracy activists, Biafran agitators, occupy Nigeria, Shite protesters, have all been killed just because the security agents did not like what they are protesting about. Very soon, you will hear the same about revolution now protesters.

The larger picture here which Nigerians fail to see is that it does not matter if a group is proscribed or not, protesting against government, which is a right, now attracts a death warrant. Freedom of expression has been taken away from Nigerians using state terror. What is the point of democracy when people can no longer air their grievances without risk of being shot an killed? Its a tragedy

Its going to take a lot to get Anambra out of the grip of APGA that have held it for 16 years

NDA takes in just about 200 people from over 50,000 that seat for the exam each year. Of that 200, many run away within the first year when they realise that military is not for them

We all know what is going on. A section of the country that now dominates the security services do not want Igbo youth to have any voice of dissent to Federal Government

IboWolf:
This guy is a snake. I am shocked at how my fellow Igbo brothers can subscribe to his thought process.
If you want your “Biafra” it’s going to crumble under this guy’s leadership... wisdom is profitable to direct.

Be guided.

What shocks most Igbos even more is how anyone can subscribe to a 'one Nigeria' where Boko haram, ISWAP and killer herdsmen are murdering people daily

CreekCommando:
Hahahaha...! Only children see herbs and call it vegetable. The security agencies shot and the guys remained impenetrable. Our problem is that we have stupid, selfish leaders at this time who are completely disconnected from the youths. And these youths are massively listening to Nnamdi Kanu. And let me tell you, they have diaspora funding, so it's a hydra-headed monster. I blame the very dull South East governors and clueless Ohaneze Ndigbo for allowing this to degenerate.

Would you rather the youth listened to the Governors and Ohanaeze that have stood by while they are massacred by herdsmen in their own land? Kanu isnt a degenerate, he is only highlighting the failed country where people are massacred with impunity while the authorities do nothing

To add to that, we have gross human rights abuse incompetence of the security forces who going about killing people in an area where there was peace before they came

Ojiofor:
Even Nnamdi Kanu the founder of IPOB refused to stand for Biafra at the cost of his life so why should our naive and ignorant boys be the one to die for it?
Nigeria has failed but we are not the only one living in Nigeria,why must we commit suicide all the time because of situations of things in Nigeria?
Mind you,Anyone standing in front of a moving train it's not bravery but an act of stupidity and suicidal too.
Please the live of every Igbo youth matters Biafra or no Biafra.

Oh you wanted Nnamdi Kanu to stay put while the assassination team of Soldiers the Nigerian government sent his house to kill him completed their evil mission? Nice one

The story of Nigeria is the killing of unarmed people and it will never change. If it is not Boko haram shooting you from the back, its the Nigerian Army/Police shooting you from the front, if its not ISWAP shooting you from the left, its killer herdsmen shooting you from the right. Life means nothing in Nigeria

So I hope Igbos get Biafra one day, where nobody is shooting anyone from any direction unless absolutely necessary and only as last resort.

MelesZenawi:
What Obiano used all these monies to do, someone cannot explain.

Same goes for every Governor in Nigeria

Tunde Ednut isnt saying a anything new. Many Nigerians dont want an Igbo man to President, not just about Biafra, but because they dont trust or like Igbos. Thats understandable, I dont expect everyone in the world to like Igbos


what we Igbos dont understand is why you want us in 'one Nigeria' when you dont trust us??

Many people such as Tunde Ednut are far more interested in keeping 'one Nigeria' for the sake of keeping one Nigeria, and not for the sake of if it means anything

Area4Area:
You'd wait till you get old if you're actually expecting any panel of inquiry into the killing of terrorists, don't go get yourself busy and make your parents proud of you in future, continue to expect a panel

The Fulani man who wants to protect his 'one Nigeria' emirate.

Ojiofor:
Everybody understands that Nigeria is no respecter of human rights except IPOB youths.When will they understand the group has been unfairly proscribed and designated as a terrorist group within Nigeria?Until that terrorist tag is removed from the group anyone meeting under IPOB is taking a deadly risk.The political leadership,traditional leadership and religious leaders of Igbo land are not interested in Nnamdi Kanu's Biafra agitation, so why is he still deceiving the youths that Biafra is coming knowing fully well that there is no such thing?Is Biafra his personal project?Majority of ndi Igbo don't care about IPOB anymore since they refuse to listen to wise counsel of the elders.They are practically on their own.I was once a sympathizer but not anymore.

To be looking at Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB is to miss the point. The point here is that some of Igbos are tired of the failure called Nigeria. Some of us want Nigerians to know that we are not happy with Nigeria. I personally want Igbo land to be an independent country. The only people who have been able to convey this message to Nigeria is IPOB. I cannot look at Nigeria that is poverty capital of the world with several terrorist groups like Boko haram, ISWAP and killer herdsmen who are all armed murdering people all across the country and I say this is the dream country I wish for myself and my children.

So for those of us who have lost fate in Nigeria, those of us who want Igbo land to be an independent self governing country, IPOB is not the enemy. When IPOB are shot and killed, when they are arrested and tortured, it is a reminder of what Nigeria stands for, suffering, oppression and death. IPOB are just people who have refused to sit down and accept the stark reality of a Nigeria that has already failed. Its not easy to believe in Biafra and be prepared to stand up for it, even at the risk of being killed or tortured. Only God knows that there are very few Nigerians, if any, that will be prepared to stand for Nigeria at the cost of their lives

Ugwuanyi is wasting time. He should convene a high powered independent panel that will investigate and find out how people lost their lives

Ojiofor:
You maybe right but is up to the youths to preserve their lives by staying out of trouble with the federal government.
Mind you,IPOB defined Nigeria as a ZOO and I wonder why you want the country you called a zoo to act like a civilised nation when dealing with you.
Nnamdi Kanu saw danger and ran away, that is his fundamental human right to preserve his life,likewise IPOB youths should also run away and save their lives from terrorist security agents.When will IPOB youths understand that they are alone in this Nnamdi Kanu's personal project?

I dont think people understand what is going on here. If people do not learn to stand against injustice and oppression then the zoo that IPOB called Nigeria is a compliment. Do people think this an IPOB situation? This is about the fact that government and its security agencies have left the law and are doing the opposite of what they should be doing. The entity that has the greatest duty to preserve life and uphold the law is government and its security agencies, not Nnamdi Kanu or IPOB. Why would a government that is supposed to be saving lives be the one that is sending Soldiers to and kill an unarmed Nnamdi Kanu in his house? Why would a professional security force still be stripping people they arrest naked in this 21st century? Why would a security agent be searching someones phone when no law authorises them to do so? Why would anyone be arresting anybody over Biafran paraphernalia when no law bans it?

This lawlessness that people see today and condone because it is IPOB is the lawlessness government will continue. In the future, anyone who government or the security agents dont like his face will receive the same treatment that that people see IPOB get but condone.

Ojiofor:
Every live matters and more especially at this time,Igbo lives matter more than ever before.Our youths shouldn't be dying unnecessarily.

But it is the federal government that is unnecessarily killing people

TheRareGem1:
What concerns this Nnamdi Kalu imposter with Nigeria affairs. Last time I checked he calls Nigeria all sort of names and the leaders even though some of them fund him and his misleading struggle.

While his fellow Igbos are still part of Nigeria, everything about Nigeria concerns him

Whiteangel1234:
If anything related to Biafra is find in your phone or with you even downloaded photo you will be arrested

That is lawlessness. The Police have no right to search anyones phone, secondly, there is no place it says in the constitution of Nigeria that to have Biafran pictures on your phone is a crime. This is highly condemnable

Whiteangel1234:
Please we are tired of typing RIP , we are losing our brave youths . If you are not ready to march and engage in head- On warfare then quit .

Innocent Igbo Youths are dying and we are tired of this Tweeter and Facebook Alert and Retweet to the World

But its not Nnamdi Kanu doing the killing is it? One of the primary duties of government is to protect life but it is the government that is busy killing unarmed people. Biafran paraphernalia has been existing for over 50 years, long before there was Nnamdi Nnamdi Kanu or IPOB, now people are arrested for having them. What was banned was IPOB, not Biafran agitation.

This is just state sponsored terrorism to silence a people who are exercising their freedom of expression and it will backfire because oppression only begets defiance

Reminds me of what Ramsey Noah said about when he went to get his first Nigerian passport, they put him through hell and back to prove he is a Nigerian a d is mixed race. Only God knows what they would do to someone who of foreign descent.

What I think is that Nigerians of foreign descent have already seen how the various indigenous tribes of Nigeria are fighting each other politically and they already know that the politics of Nigeria is no go area for them for now.

The indigenous tribes are yet to see them selves as 'one Nigeria', what hope does the Nigerian of foreign decent have?

Everybody knows what this government is doing in relation to IPOB. They dont like IPOBs agitation so they tried to give a Dog a bad name to kill it. What the authorities do is to go and shoot unarmed people so as to provoke a violent reaction, then they blame the violence on IPOB. But unfortunately for them, this is the age of social media where exchange information as it happens so that people are always closer to the truth.

The government is not fooling anyone in their attempt to make IPOB look like a terrorist organisation

Obamaofusa:
They will not do that but will rather thump chests on delusions. South Africa hates them,Ghana hates them,Malaysia etc but Yorubas that they have lived with for decades,who have tolerated their misgivings,have never lynched them,even when they err,are their problems.

95% of Yorubas will always tolerate the Igbos but the remaining 5% will always be different.
Igbos should do some soul searching.Stop attacking your hosts verbally and publicly and to their faces if you must do that.SAfricans complained about I these habits.

Yorubas are funny people. You are hosting who? How can you host a person in their own country? If anyone feels they are tolerating Igbos in Nigeria let them feel free to join the agitation for Biafra

"One Nigeria" is joke! Igbo land must become an independent country no matter what. The rest of you can carry on with your miserably failed 'one Nigeria'

Armed Police were disarmed by unarmed people? How? The commissioner of Police Enugu state, Ahmed Abdulrahman, knows he is in big trouble over how handled the fracas in Emene, Enugu, that led to people being shot for no necessary reason. His disgraceful interview with the press where he was trying to get 5 boys to admit they have arms was a huge embarrassment. He even said that IPOB was learning martial arts to fight the Federal government with Kung fu lol. Now he is spinning every story he can to make it look like IPOB is armed. Who stockpiles arms by snatching guns? If IPOB wanted guns, they would contribute money and buy it on the black market

This Police commissioner is a disgrace. Lie after lie.

athaboi:
I don't know what the north is afraid of...this oil will be valueless Las Las, their land is even more valuable than oil but they won't just think...lazy people

You dont know what the North is afraid of? They are afraid of losing political control of Nigeria and thats what restructuring will mean.

Governor Ugwuanyi must shelve all sentiments and constitute and independent, unbiased panel to look into what happened in Emene, Enugu, on the 23rd of this month.

Several people are dead and there is accusations abd counter-accusation. One I can say is that residents of Enugu are seeing this attack on IPOB in a different light. They believe that a certain section of the country that dominates the security agencies of Nigeria are using the proscription of IPOB as a licence to kill Igbo youths.
