Nnamdi Kanu is nothing but a COWARD who LIED about his HEALTH in order to GAIN FREEDOM. Thereby, he left co-accused (3) persons behind in jail. Unless the other 3 conspirators also lied about their health, the Judge had already said, NO WAY.

If per adventure IPOB is granted, (which is impossible without a fight/civil war) is the kind of conniving liar who will be her leader?

If it is so easy to lie to your judicial system and get bail then dont blame Kanu for taking advantage of their cluelessness. As reported, Kanu's co accused actually begged him to go. A free Kanu can help them more than a Kanu in jail with them.

Now i asked: is it really worth sacrificing a single life person's blood for this kind of dubious leaders of tomorrow?

Nobody is sarcrificing their life for any leader. People are sarcrificing their life for the ideology which is, freedom, which is one of the few things in life worth dying for. It is also very important to note that those doing the killing so far are your Nigerian security agencies who are paid to protect life.

If truly, IPOB is desired by majority Igbos, why cant they nust be courageous enough to declare a time table by which they will all vacate Northern, Southwestern, SouthSouthern cities amicably and voluntarily at the end of which they declare their Biafra. Homeland.

That was done in 1967, you greedy Nigerians still came down to the East to fight anyway. Nobody is making that mistake again. Also, Biafra is not just about Igbos, the last president of Biafra, General Philip Effiong, was not Igbo. If you Nigerians believe that Biafrans should leave their investments and go back when Biafra is achieved, then you Nigerians should lead by example and order all Nigerians worldwide to return home.

Or better yet, why did they refused to demand that their political leaders SPONSOR A SECESSION BILL IN BOTH THE HOUSE OF REPS AND THE SENATE IN ORDER TO OPT OUT OF NIGERIA PEACEFULLY?

Which National Assembly did Lord Lugard move the motion to make you a Nigerian? Why will people be moving a motion at the National Assembly that is 100% guaranteed to fail? You think when it comes to a vote, the Northers and Yorubas will vote for Biafrans to go? Not a chance! That would be a collosal waste of time to pursue the Biafran agenda at the NASS.

OR, is it that all of the IPOBS are stark iliterates who did not know their right from left nor how secession processes is carried out, peacefully or violently?

Are they IPOBS even ready for their do called Biafra or just exploiting themselves and day dreaming about IPOB?

We are ready for Biafra. What we are wondering is why you are drinking panadol over someone elses headache?

I usually laugh when i read comments such as: why dont Nigeria let us go? Foolish IPOBIANS, if you want to go so bad, go right ahead, why wait for permission of other Nigerians OR have you all agreed in your warped minds that other Nigeriams are your colonial masters who MUST GRANT YOU INDEPENDENCE FOR FREE? IF YOU WANT IT, COME AND GET IT. (APOLOGIES TO DON JAZZY).

Thanks again for reminding us that Nigeria is fraudulent British colonial system and instrument of bondage designed to hold people against their will for economic and political exploitation. At least now you see why Ojukwu was justified to fight against such evil.

Your nightmare begins the very day your drunken grandmaster of corruption was voted out of power by the majority of those same people who voted him into power in the first place.

If you all like continue to WAIL TILL THY KINGDOM COMES. THE NORTHERNERS WILL RULE NIGERIA TILL 2023 AND BY THEN, THE PRESIDENCY WILL SHIFT BACK TO THE SOUTH. WHETHER IT WILL GO TO SOUTHEAST THEN WILL BE DETERMINED BY HOW MANY GOODWILL BRIDGES YOU HAVE
BUILT AS OPPOSED TO YOUR BURNING THE BRIDGES YOU WILL NEED TO CARRY YOU TO THE PROMISED LAND.

'NUFF SAID FOR NOW. I RESERVED THE BALANCE OF MY TIME!

Laughable. The same Northerners who held power for more than 30 years but are still the poorest and backward people in Nigeria. Even if they hold power till 2050, it still will not help them. They never understood that holding power is not as important as self help. Nobody cares about the worthless office of president of Nigeria that has not helped those who held it before. Nigeria is a colonial fraud and we Biafrans are going to exit this house of fraud created by Lugard!

yourexcellency:
Will you still obey him if he asks you to forget this agitation that Joe Igbokwe described as HOPELESS and SENSELESS?

Ekwueme would never tell Kanu to forget the agitation. The man is too sagacious to tell Kanu to give up on his right to self determination.

Joe Igbokwe, on the other hand, wouldnt know what self determination is even if it fell on top of his head

Nice

Of the top 5 men I respect in Igbo land, these two make the list.

kropotkin11:
Why? have always maintained that the best way to snuff the light out of this Biafran agitation is to elect an Igbo president in the next few election cycles. Forget about all that trash we hear on the internet by IPOB miscreants about how Igbos don't need the presidency blah blah blah. The moment we have an Igbo president Nnamdi Kanu goes back to his $5 per hour miserable London job

Why would an Igbo man give up on his right to his own country and reach for something much lesser such president of Nigeria?

That is like asking an Igbo man to forget about owning his car and go for being the driver of the car.

I hope they dont mean the coal in Enugu, Biafra land?

HungerBAD:
Azuka Onwuka i greet you.

This is a very intelligent write up.

Once upon a time, even up to 2 weeks ago, i supported that the Ibo's should not be allowed to leave the Union. But, after thinking deeply of it, i am in support that they should be allowed to go away.

I came to this conclusion after the unaccountable arrests of drug carriers from the Eastern part of Nigeria. If they were known as Biafran's, the rest of us law abiding Nigerians will not be embarrassed,harassed and even sometimes be killed by those mistaking all of us, and erroneously terming all of us criminals in the Diaspora.

Moreover, there is absolutely nothing the East contributes into the coffers of Nigeria. The little developments in the East,was done from the monies gotten from the oil in the South-South.

The East gets more from Nigeria,than it contributes to Nigeria as an entity. They are short changing us, and i support they should leave peacefully.

Once upon a time, Texas said it was tired of the United States and they left to form a Country. By themselves, they begged to come back to the United States after a few Years.

Let them get their own Country, and let us see how far they will go. But you guys should not behave like Texas, and start begging to come back to Nigeria.

Nna, I hope most Nigerians will share your sentiments and leave us Igbos to go in peace. Do you know how embarassing it is for me as an Igbo man to know that Gambia is just a country of 2 million people, and my 45 million strong Igbo nation is still stuck inside this Godforsaken country doing "one Nigeria"?

Very embarassing.

BlowBack:
Buhari is finally gone for good and good riddance to bad rubbish.

Osinbanjo, may eventually be confirmed President by the Senate as events unfold and Tinubu may want to exploit federal might to push his stooge into Aso Rock come 2019. Tinubu will settle for characters like El Rufai to be VP to Osinbanjo in order to sway boko votes up north to Osinbanjo presidency.

That aside will the SS/SE ignore this golden opportunity to pour sand-sand inside Yoruba and Tinubus garri just as they did in 2015 with Buhari chanji nonsense?

If you ask me, I will rather vote Shekau than that fake pastor.

Let us teach Yorubas their own treachery and repay them in their own coin come 2019.

Let me tell you something. If something should happen to Buhari, and Osibanjo is sworn in as president, that will be the end of APC

The only thing the North cares about is power. They need to have it like Fish needs water. So if Osibanjo gets in there, not only will they fight him throughtout the remainder of his tenure (just like they did to GEJ) they will also reject him in 2019. You might even see a situation where the North will back Atiku almost unanimously to defeat Osibanjo. The SE/SS are not likely to vote Osibanjo, they simply dont believe in the party.

This is the worst Journalism I hv ever seen

Why re u brown roofers so mischievous

The girl was stabbed during confrontation with the said guy

The girl in question was a receptionist whom had a misunderstanding with the girl.

The guy is no stranger in the hotel as he frequents the hotel the Manager even knows their family house where the boy resides.

Hmmmm

Nawa for u pple ooooh

So the news is even fake?

It will be a glorious day the day we Igbos finally get our freedom and independence as the Republic of Biafra

nengibo:
Big lie, no igbo will understand Ikwerre, how are Ikwerre culturally igbo?

Anyone who speaks Ikwerre will understand Igbo 100%, however, an Anambra man such as me will understand the Ikwerre Elele people speak much better than the more difficult one spoken in Emohua.

But if I went to Ezza or Izzi in Ebonyi, I would be lost.

That Stanley Uzochukwu is something. I heard that by the age of 30, he was one of youngest billionaires in Nigeria.

Biafra is about self determination. I can understand that not all Igbos will buy the idea of Biafra but this is democracy. What the majority choose is what the minority has to follow. If majority of the Igbo nation are for Biafra, the minority that does not roll with will have to.

I support 100%, now and forever. I think that Igbos are better off out of Nigeria along with minorities who are comfortable with Igbos.

Igbos have lost too much in the name of a redundant colonial term known as "one Nigeria"

They lost millions of souls, lost their sovereignty, the lost control of their resources and they lost control of their politics.

Meanwhile, Nigeria is a complete disaster.

I hope and pray that My fellow Igbos will exit Nigeria and truly begin the important work of nation building in Biafra

Is that Igbo land Is it that you don't know or you are just joking

Im not joking, Igbo Etche is Igbo land and if you need confirmation, look at the names that signed the letter

MDG007:
Rivers state is an Igbo land??

Yes, some of it.

Appareil:
Is that Igbo land Is it that you don't know or you are just joking

It is Igbo land, the Igbo- Etche people. Look at the names of those that signed the letter

Its now I know that Okorocha has lost his senses. We all know that his plan is to employ federal might to come down to Anambra to rig elections but we are waiting for him. APC is not a contender in the Anambra elections.

You don't have the requisite education to know what both of them fought for, what i say is what you must believe because you lack the ability to think for yourself.




The news isn't the issue, the problem is the level of stvpidity that makes a person to believe such nonsense!!






Ojukwu told your father he was fighting for self determination when the problem at the time was a pogrom igbos caused, how does self determination protect Igbos from the pogrom? Because your father could not read the transcript of Aburi conference, your father never knew that all Ojukwu's demands at Aburi was met under Gowon's decree 8. Why would I ask you to request vital information from Kanu when that capability is lacking in your lineage?
In 1960 when an igbo man was the Governor general, Nigeria was never a colonial contraption, in 1963 when the Senate president, president and Speaker House of Reps were all igbos, Nigeria was never a colonial contraption, in 1983 when an igbo man was the Vice president, nigeria was not a colonial contraption, 2010 when a niger deltan was the president, Nigeria was not a colonial contraption, immediately peter obi and his stomach infrastructure left APGA for PDP's porridge in 2015, Nigeria became a colonial contraption, young man, the thunder that will reset your destiny is still wearing pampers. I hope you remember Ojukwu's comments when uwazuruike started his stvpidity?

Im glad you are now learning the principle of self determination. Just like either Boyfriend/Girlfriend, either party can call time on the relationship at any time and for whatever reason. Just like husband and wife, either party can divorce the other at any time and for virtually any reason. And like most partnerships, any partner can leave any time.

So you people had better start getting used to the fact that the fraudulent British colonial contraption called Nigeria created in 1914 without the permission of the indigenous people of the land such as Igbos, is coming to an end. No fraud lasts forever. Ojukwu and kanu are just messangers and the message is "self determination". We are going to invoke our right of self determination and we are leaving the fraudulent contraption. We have heard the message and the message has become ideology.

Organs:
My Chairman, JPPhilips gave you a "textbook" and you are still not resetting your brain. Go listen to what Gowon said about Ojukwu. Ojukwu boasted that he will be the last man standing and will fight to his death but ran away after leading people to war. He is a coward ask any soldier. Gadafi said i am from Libya, i will live and die in Libya so said Saddam Hussain, these are soldiers, heros and not Ojukwu. Listen to kanu again, he is a hate filled war mongering idiot trying to make a name for himself just like Ojukwu trying to be a leader not minding who dies or lives. Go again and listen to what ZIK and Ifeajuna told Ojukwu, these were the heros because they were genuinly concerned about their people dying in a war. You can say all the nonsense you like, but History has it that Ojukwu ran away to Ivory Coast and when Zik died, it was no question when they decided to name the FCT of Naija's airport after him. Again, go and thank JPphilips and follow his advice.

You and him are suffering from a from a form of mental slavery called colonial mentality. Thats why you people are still answering the name of a common River the white man gave you and claiming the country he created as your own. You dont have the spine to create your own country like Kanu or Ojukwu so you have no choice than to remain whatever Lugard made you. You think this is about Kanu and Ojukwu? It never was. Ojukwu and Kanu are messengers, the message is far more important than the messengers.

The message of self determination, the right to determine who you are and where you belong. Dont worry, this message is not for children of Lugard still suffering colonial mentality.

All this "we have held the presidency before" people.

I wonder if Joe Igbokwe realises that all those who have held the presidency in the past, none are better off than Igbos

jpphilips:
I am sorry for saying you are dumb, you are actually hopeless.
Nnamdi Kanu told you he was begged to abandon his cell mates? Wow!! You must be Kanu's c0ck sucker to know that, same way dolts like you believe Ojukwu was begged to run away?
Why do you guys keep recycling hogwash for fvcks sake?
Do you know how many countries that begged Gaddafi to run away and even promised him amnesty and Assylum? Where do you think his family is at the moment? Let me educate you dolt read here
http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSBRE92O0LV20130325.
When next those retards tell you they are "begged", remind them that others before them declined.

How did you know the cause Ojukwu fought for?
How many people from your generational stvpidity read the transcript of the Aburi conference to even understand what Ojukwu negotiated on their behalf?
What was his motive to negotiate the fate of igbos with his secretary alone while the Nigerian side arrived with 19 persons? At a time an Igbo man was the President, Senate president, speaker HOR and virtually all the existing universities have igbos as VCs yet nobody was worthy to be invited by the runway crack head you call a hero?
Have you asked Kanu to show you the blueprint of his Biafran struggle to pass it through the clinical prognosis of common sense?

I understand you come from a generation that is brain dead but I thank God for where you are today, that place you are is death and nothing more. I am not asking you to use your head neither do I have the luxury of time to educate uneducated imbec!les like you because your death will depopulate the number of !diots in Nigeria.

Your father fought for Ojukwu without reading the transcript of the Aburi conference and Gowon's decree 8, today you are fighting for Kanu without asking for a blue print that outlines the global strategy of Biafra restoration clearly stating its alliance for economic sustainability? Congratulations you come from a generation of retards, your father was one and so are you.
Im sure the Nigerian government cured your father in 1970, now is your time to be cured.

Are you not one of those who bathe salt water to cure Ebola? Are you not one of those who feed gods of Men aka pastors? Are you not one of those who lost a fortune to MMM?
If you did any of the above, you need a psyche evaluation. I am sick of competing with brain dead individuals. You guys must be removed at all cost regardless of what it takes. Biafra just brought the opportunity ive been praying for.

You have no point to make. Not even one. As I said before, Ojukwu and Gadafi cannot be compared because they fought for different things. Ojukwu fought to liberate his people while Gadafi fought to keep his power base. With the end at hand and nothing to fight for any more, Ojukwu bowed out, having given his all. Gadafi on the other hand saw the end coming and stayed back. What happend to the fool? He was captured, beaten up, tied to a car, paraded like a common criminal, slaughtered like a Chicken and his dead body put on display for several days. Nobody even knows where Gadafi s buried till date. This stupid death is what you wanted Ojukwu to aspire to? Sorry but Ojukwu was no fool. He lived to be an old man, loved by his people and on his death, recieved one of the greatest burials ever witnessed in Africa. Not lilke the fool Gadafi or Hitler who shot himself.

Nnamdi Kanu was begged by his co accused to go. It was reported here and the link can be found below

https://www.nairaland.com/3772787/begged-nnamdi-kanu-accept-bail

The Aburi agreement isnt relevent here, my father didnt need it to excercise his right to self determination and decide for himself if he wants to be part of the mere colonial creation called Nigeria.

Lugard did not go to Aburi before he included Igbos in his phantom country called Nigeria. Did Lugard show your ancestors any 'blue print' before he bastardised them with name Nigeria?

The watchword here is 'self determination'. That is the only thing that matters. I decide for myself if I want to be Nigerian or not. The Igbo nation will decide if they want to be part of the colonial contraption called Nigeria or not. It is our decision and it concerns no one except the minorities who comfortable leaving with us. This ideology of self determination is greater than Kanu, Ojukwu or IPOB/MASSOB. This an ideology that cannot be defeated by war or wished away. It has come to stay and it will be exercised no matter the oppressive Nigerian state does to crush it

Start getting used to it, self determination is a right.

gwine0047:
So not the point, sir. Though I understand what you driving at, but in order to achieve political balance and extinguish the idea of marginalization, an Igbo president must be allowed.

Not true. If Nigeria had been restructured and every zone controling their resources, it wouldnt matter if the president of Nigeria was from planet Mars. If Igbos have to get the Presidency of Nigeria to end their maginalisation and have a sense of belonging then what is the point of Nigeria? Wont Igbos eventually hand over to someone else? It means that it is much better for Igbos to strive for their own country where they wont have bother about the presidency or marginalisation any more.

There are more important things than Igbo presidency

jpphilips:
Let me just explain how dumb you sound. Imagine a world where Napoleon Bonaparte abandoned the french revolution despite killing millions of people in his conquest?
Can you imagine a world where Adolf hitler ran away? Can you imagine a world where Saddam Hussein abandoned Iraq? Imagine a world where Gaddafi ran away despite his pre war braggadocio?
If Ojukwu is justified to run away, then his life is more important than millions who died by his actions. In a world where people have sense, revolutionists sacrifice their lives for their people and for a cause, in Igboland they hide behind women asking nematodes like you to die.
Let me be frank with you, most of you dont have the basic thought process to exist.
Because you rewarded Ojukwu's cowardise with a title, you have an Uwazuruike who is a billionaire presently, because you rewarded Uwazuruike with fortune, you have a Kanu today.
Can't you see that your generational stvpidity is the problem not your false heroes?

Mention one country in the world where three false heroes have fought for a cause with no result? The present arrangement is cool with you because you have poor mental capacity.

If Ojukwu was shot by igbos after the first stint, there wont be conartists like Uwazuruike and Kanu today, they would have gotten the memo that such mission means death.

Kanu while incarcerated was freed by riots of f00ls like you who died eventually, tell me, how is Kanu protesting his fellow inmates still incarcerated? Can you see that the f00l you gave your life for isn't worth it?
I don't expect you to have sense, you are only fulfilling an evolutionary theory called "survival of the fittest"
Those of you who doesn't have competitive mindset will leave us one way or the other, if it takes Biafra agitation to lower the population of id!ots in this country, so be it.

This is the reasoning of someone who has their head upside-down. What Ojukwu fought for was the direct opposite of what men like Hitler, Napoleon and Gaddafi were fighting for. While Ojukwu was fighting to free his people from the fraudulent British colonial contraption called Nigeria, Hitler and Napoleon were fighting to enslave other people and increase their power base. Ojukwu fought to liberate, others fought to enslave. So trying to equate all them together is foolish. Ojukwu was justified to leave, he stood and fought hard for 3 years as a man, it didnt work out. No point staying back to be butchared over a cause that was no longer sustainable. The only people that would have benefited from Ojukwu staying back to be killed is Nigeria who would have used his dead body for propaganda. As I said before, Ojukwus job was to fight for the freedom of his people, not to be a martyr. The millions who died all died in the fight for freedom. Freedom is not cheap, the second world war cost over 50 million lives. To get freedom, you must be prepared to accept casualties, thats the nature of the game.

We Igbos should have shot Ojukwu? Why would we kill our greatest hero who fought for our freedom? Are you high?

A revolutionaries sarcrifice their lives for a cause, but not when there is no more cause to sarcrifice anything to.

People like you keep thinking that people have died for Ojukwu and are dying for Nnamdi Kanu, not true. People are dying over the ideology, not the men, and they are being killed by the oppresive force of Nigeria. My father who fought in the Biafran Army did not do so for Ojukwu, he fought because he believed Igbos should have a separate state.

As for this nonsense that Kanu left his co accused, Kanu's Lawyer has already stated that the co accused actually begged him to go and attend to his health since a dead Kanu in jail was of no use to anyone.

You have absolutely no point in your write up. The slave mentality of "one Nigeria" is a terminal disease. Thankfully, I and most of my fellow Igbos dont suffer from it.

gwine0047:
This is a simple question though the answer is not of the same. Traces of what to expect in the next election still doesn't field a tangible Igbo presidential candidate. The 2 major political Parties are not thinking in that direction.


When will we have an Igbo president?

An Igbo president is irrelevant. We have had Yoruba Presidents, Hausa presidents, Ijaw president and currently, we have a Fulani president. Where is Nigeria today?

For me as an Igbo man, there other things that are far more important than one of my kinsmen becoming president of the jungle called Nigeria

GenBuhari:
I need answers:
If the information I get shows him to be legit, his own man and worthy of being in the position he appointed himself, then I will at least stop calling him a clown.

Otherwise i will officially award him the name Nnamdi Clownu

Please I need volunteers to research: just pick and state one or two items that you are willing to research

1. Where was he born?

2. Date of birth?

3. Primary / Secondary Schools attended in which state /country

4. Universities attended in which states / country

5. Ans: Masters Political Science from Brunel University UK

6. Employment history (give employer and dates)partial Ans: Worked as a property consultant in UK, then started a radio station in 2009 which failed, restarted 2013, with some investors

7. How did he become involved in IPOB

8. His mothers state of origin

9. Did he live or his parents live through the original Biafran war in Biafra

10. Date of his traditional wedding ?

His wife's state of origin

How much of this information did your ancestors have about Lugard when he was making them Nigerians?

All freedom fighters will face persecution

These people are something. They just rush into any Kanu related thread to count how many people are with the man. Mad people everywhere

jpphilips:
He has his own wikipedia? how about his google? bloody motor parts illiterate. he is brave yet did not die with the others at the street demo abi? He is brave indeed, the same Ojukwu's kinda bravery right?
won't be long before you realise Kanu is another MMM. where is Uwazuruike's MASSOB? did you care to ask?

Afonjas way of reasoning is laughable. So for a man to prove he is brave, he has to jump in front of a speeding bullet? This so called "fight to the death" syndrome which no Yoruba man has ever been known to have done.


So you people expected Ojukwu wait back to have himself killed? What kind of stupid person will stay back and have themselves killed when he has a way to escape? Ojukwu would have been foolish to stay back to be killed when he had an escape route just because he wants people to take him as brave. Declaring his people free, fighting the military might of Nigeria, Britain and Russia for 3 years makes Ojukwu the bravest Igbo man ever. His job was not to be a martyr.

As for Kanu and IPOB, you have not even addressed the fact that your Nigerian Army and Police are murderers in uniform for shooting unarmed protesters. You people want Kanu and IPOB to be part of a country where people are murdered in cold blood by those mandated to protect them? Not possible. The British colonial fraud called Nigeria must carry on without Biafrans

deomelo:
Nairaland Says No To Secessionists, but NL front page is always full of biafra and Secessionists thread from top to bottom.

Nairaland can be against secession. Many were against Scotland in the Scottish referendum. Many were against Britain leaving the EU. So it is acceptable that Nairaland is against secession, but they should never be against self determination

Using starvation as an instrument of war is now regarded as a war crime.

This why many Igbos such as me still regard Yakubu Gowon and Obafemi Awolowo as war criminals

kiosk1:
The most sensible comment on this thread!
The image of Foolish Nnamdi Kanu gisting, feasting and laughing away like a goat and posing for selfies while sitting at FFK dining table is an open wound sprinkled with salt. The IBO so called Hero could not even first pay visit in sober remembrance to the parents or families of those restless and ideological IPOB youths who were gunned down in their prime while agitating for his release. No, he went to fill his stomach first at FFK house. Shameless fool. What a disgrace. The man is nothing but a fraud.
Is this the best that a people, once rumored to be so highly educated and advanced as far as the black race is concerned can do?
An educationally challenged and clearly ignorant scammer like Kanu has become their new 'hero'? I weep for these people.

You exposed your self as a hypocrite in your own statement. Nnamdi Kanu should have gone to visit the families of IPOB members who were gunned down? What about about those who gunned them down? You should be far more concerned that your Nigerian Army and Police can gun down unarmed people than you about Kanu visiting their family.
