Gazzette knows Nigerians don't read, they had to put headline that is not anywhere close to the content to use them to generate traffic, gulible people. See their comments.. headline readers

AlabiJ:
Bro, the truth is, the youths are not ready for power. Besides, what Nigeria needs is a detribalized unifier that has across the board and robust influence politically in order to stabilize the polity. Name any other politician from the South that has built the kind of political network of Asiwaju that is alive today. Just one.

The youths have so far demonstrated that they are not serious about taking the reins of responsibility that political power demands. And mind you, power isn't handed to anyone on a platter. No. The noise we are hearing about Tinubu today from his associates and supporters was nurtured over decades. If anyone else feels he can do better than him, such a person should also come out and make some noise and the electorate would decide.

Sergio101:
Oga the man is good, but is too old already to manage the menace in this country.
For damn sake, why will the youth putting their destiny in the hands of these old men

GetMeRight:
Na your type dey hail people till they're pushed to their deaths. Meanwhile, you would never come out for support, keyboard supporters

NGpatriot:
Coming from the real cowards killing and slaughtering their own igbo innocent people instead of facing the Hausa Fulani or even go to Abuja to face Buhari, you cowards kill little girls, students, doctors, soldiers, policemen, burn people's houses and businesses, all your victims are your own igbo people and not a single Hausa Fulani.

From Ojuku till today, cowardice is all you people are know for.

kollinz1234:
Since it is an opinion thread, I will like to contribute. I won't blame you or castigate your personal opinion, since it is an opinion thread.

You are the one feeling that Agu is supporting all the killings by the unknown gun men by simply putting on a regalia. What I am seeing is that he is putting on the regalia to stand against injustice, to stand against killings of unarmed protesters (python dance), to stand against corruption, to stand against state sponsored terrorism. May I ask you a question? Do u like the structure to which Nigeria is built upon? Do u like the hegemony of the fulanis over other tribes? Do u feel like a member of this country or a mare attached?

mightyokwy:
Nigerians have this tendency of supporting evil as far as it is not done to them. The writer of this trash is foolish and stupid the same time.
Is there any law in Nigeria that state how people should dress? No.
Does Chinwetalu Agu have right to dress as he want? yes
Is there any evidence showing that he is inciting anyone against the Army or Police? No
Is Chinwetalu Agu a member of proscribed IPOB? No
Does biafra flag belong to IPOB? No
Are there other groups using same Biafran flag? Yes
Before IPOB there was MASSOB and if IPOB is crushed today, another group will arise tomorrow. The government should stop playing with human lives they swore to protect. Nigeria existence must be renegotiated and failure to do that will lead to total collapse of the entity called Nigeria.

gidgiddy:
3 things that makes this write up total nonsense

1) In 2017 when IPOB was proscribed as a terrorist group, it was not armed and had no accusation whatsoever of having touched anyone nor killed anybody. To now come and say that IPOB is a terrorist group based on what is happening in 2021, even though no evidence exists that IPOB did anything, is laughable. How can you call an organisation a terrorist group in 2017, but justify it based on what is happening in 2021? Is that not madness?

2)The Biafran flag is not the property of IPOB. The Biafran flag was existing in May 1967, even before the founder of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, was born. To now say that IPOB owns the flag, or that it is an 'IPOB flag' is a bare faced lie

3) Yes IPOB was procribed, but the Biafran flag was not. Nothing about Biafra was proscribed, only IPOB as a group was proscribed. There are other Biafran groups such as MASSOB,BIM,BZF, BV who all use the Biafran flag. To now say that Chiwetal Agu is showing sympathy to IPOB by wearing the Biafran flag is to assume too much since you are not in his head. How do you know he wasnt showing sympathy to MASSOB which is not proscribed? How do you know he wasnt showing sympathy to any particular group but showing his sympathy to Biafra?

Nigerians an their narrow way of looking at things

lloydtruth:
Yanni writes from Abuja, yanni writes from Abuja, yanni writes from Abuja.
From Abuja you saw chiwetalu agu soliciting support for IPOB, and if by your assertions you categorize IPOB as terrorist organization then Miyetti Allah, Fulani Herdmen, bandits must be the devil's
The problem is not Buhari but some evil-minded minors who cheer their devilish loves out of hatred and jealosy for the igbos. What can we say but all that goes around comes around.

Fahdiga:
This has to be the dumbest junk I've read this year. The author of this piece of trash deserves win fool of the year award. What an incoherent and disjointed gibberish concocted by a drunkard

Hammer2021:
Nigerian bloggers are useless, I'm still looking for How Army handed him over to DSS in the gibberish write up

SimplyFacts:
E don buy market for himself. He shouldn't have gone out with such outfit, not now that IPOB/UGM are threats to the govt & society at large.

VaselineCrew:
All day on this forum, one can witness the hate Nigerian tribes have for each other, so why don’t we all just split amicably?

I’ve never seen where you hate someone so much, yet choose to remain in contact with such a person.

Isn’t it common sense?

Or am I missing something?

There is no day, igbos, Yorubas , Hausas... don’t get insulted here, some even wish for the death of the whole tribe.

So you would rather eradicate a whole tribe than have them leave you?

I don’t understand the logic.

By Inibehe Effiong

The harassment and arrest of celebrated Nollywood actor, Mr. Chiwetalu Agu, on Thursday, 7th October, 2021 by the Nigerian Army is illegal, unconscionable and unwarranted. The actor has not committed any criminal offence known to law. The Nigerian Army should stop ridiculing itself before the international community.

Supposing without conceding that the dressing of the legendary actor amounts to "incitement" as claimed by the Army, it is the Nigeria Police Force that should have responded. There is no evidence of incitement against him. Nothing was inscribed on the said cloth to incite the public.

Is the Army suggesting that wearing clothes with certain colours or identifying with certain colours amounts to inciting people to violence or that any colour identical to the Biafran flag is inciting?. That will be a dangerous proposition. If they are convinced about such whimsical argument, the government should test it in a competent court of law. The allegation that he is recruiting for or supporting IPOB is unsupported by evidence. It is a way of calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it. Discerning Nigerians can see through the smoke screen.

The military has no power in a constitutional democracy to arrest citizens; except in very special and exceptional circumstances like during war, state of emergency, insurrection or riot. Even at that, it has to be shown that the Police has been overwhelmed. That is the purport of Section 217 of the 1999 Constitution which limits the role of the Armed Forces to defending the territorial integrity of Nigeria and acting in aid of civil authorities. Is Nigeria at war?

What did Chiwetalu Agu do that overwhelmed the Nigeria Police Force to warrant the Army stepping in to aid the police in arresting him?

We have become so used to lawlessness, impunity and flagrant disregard for the fundamental rights of citizens that we now condone whatever nonsense is thrown at us by the authorities.

Wearing a cloth with colours similar to the Biafran flag is not defined as an offence under any written law in this country. It is IPOB that was proscribed, not Biafra.

A significant portion of the Nigerian population still sees Biafra as an idea. No government can kill an idea that people are emotionally attached to by deploying the military. History has shown that the best way to defeat an idea is by propagating a superior and more persuasive idea. In the last six years, the Buhari regime has been propagating the idea that the best way to govern a diverse country like Nigeria is by pursuing a vindictive policy of exclusion, religious bias and ethnic supremacy which has further polarized the citizens and isolated different parts of this country.

By promoting nepotism and ethnic irredentism, Buhari is not qualified to propagate a Pro-Nigeria ideology that can counter the renewed agitations by a section of the South East for Biafra. Rather than heal old wounds, Buhari is ferociously opening new ones. Yet, he continues to parrot the fallacy that the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable.

While I wholeheartedly condemn the wanton killings in the South East and the ensuing violence, there should be no tolerance for high-handedness and blatant disregard for the rights of the citizens. Rules of Engagement must be strictly followed.

By the combined effect of Section 36 ( and (12) of the 1999 Constitution, an act or conduct is only a crime if it is so defined in a written law which must also prescribe the punishment for the offence. The Supreme Court had resolved this matter long ago in the celebrated case of AOKO V. FAGBEMI (1961) 1 NLR 400 and more recently in the case of GEORGE V. FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA [2014] ALL FWLR (pt. 718) 879.

The very idea of telling citizens what colour of cloth to wear is not only ludicrous but offensive. We are not in Communist China or North Korea.

It is a sad commentary that the Buhari regime is working day and night to turn Nigeria into a police state.

If the military authority has a movie role for Chiwetalu Agu, they should approach him with respect with their offer and desist from making a mockery of the security situation in the South East. The attack on Chiwetalu Agu is a painful reminder that the Buhari regime is ruling Nigeria with the mindset of the civil war.

Under this regime, peaceful young Nigerians were shot and killed by the same Nigerian Army while raising the Nigerian flag and singing the national anthem at the Lekki Toll Gate. Till date, no single soldier has been court-martialed for that abominable desecration of what is supposed to be sacred national symbols. Yet, the same Army arrested Chiwetalu Agu for wearing a cloth identical to the Biafran flag.

In other words, under the draconian Buhari regime, both 'Biafran colours' and Nigerian colours are symbols of "incitement" with severe punishment that includes death. That is not how to build and unify a nation.

The Army should apologize to the iconic actor and pay him adequate compensation for subjecting him to harassment and public humiliation.

Aşk Nnandi Kanu that IPOB supreme leader, how market? When he was barking like a mad Dog some few months back, but today Buhari don HUMBLED the idiot. Buhari kidnapped him from a foreign Country without following international protocols. He was beating blue and black and was made to eat only his own faeces. He is presently locked in an underground Cell with hard LABOUR.

THAT'S HOW WE ROLL IN THE NORTH, WHEN PERSON DO ANYHOW, HE GO SEE ANYHOW.

God bless Buhari.
