Igboblog: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been urged to stop calling Nigeria a zoo, where animals and baboons are living.
The pleading came on a heel following Kanu’s alleged hate speech on Radio Biafra London, which led to his arrest in Nigeria on October 2015 while coming in from United Kingdom where he based.
Kanu has been arraigned on different court charges and has been granted bail by the Abuja high court under rulings of Justice Adeniyi Ademola, but was later arrested and detained by the order of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Following his detention since October 2015, there has been an uneasy calm in the southeast geopolitical zone of the country as main region agitating for a Biafra Nation. Various efforts have been made to ensure Kanu’s release, but it seems President Buhari is not ready to let him go.
While canvassing for Kanu’s release, The Director General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr Osita Okechukwu has called on anyone who have access to Nnamdi Kanu to please, tell him to stop calling Nigeria a zoo.
Mr Okechukwu, while speaking with newsmen after attending a popular radio programme, Freedom Square Enugu state, he revealed that he has been pleading with President Buhari to release Nnamdi Kanu and other pro-Biafrans held in detention.
According to him; “Mr President is just back. We will continue to plead on his (Kanu) behalf because we told Mr President that, this is a young man from England. That, actually we don’t know his stand in Nigeria. Give him pardon.
“Mr President asked me, Osita, have you talked with him (Nnamdi Kanu)?”
the urhobos are surely igboid..the ijaws will try everything to rule the then biafra alone...igbos will have a big trouble dealing with ijaws..i see only endless conflicts...
Ijaws had never fought nor dragged anything with igbos neither in past or present do your research....yet you're far away from my question..are there igbos in Delta?
Apparently, understanding a comment is not your strong suit, if he was born and raised in Nigeria, his name would not be Russell, I'm thinking born and raised in UK, and he took mother's maiden name, no Yoruba father living in Nigeria will name his son Russell and the other name
I'm saying he's Yoruba but wasn't raised in Yoruba Land
Twisting...assuming his Igbo? By now afonjas I know will be shouting igbos up & down..deal with it...his a Yoruba period.
adanny01: As an ABUSITE myself, i browsed the ABU Alumni website (alumni.abu.edu.ng) for curiosity and found that the records of all Alumni of ABU have been captured.
Sahara reporters which reported that Dino Melaye never graduated from ABU suddenly came to mind. So i began an interesting search.
First i checked my name as an Alumni, it was there. I checked my old roomate's name, it was there. I checked for my departmental friends, all were there except for one whom i know never graduated. I went beyond my department, all names i could think of were there. Finally, i browsed geography department and started with friends and family i knew who graduated from that department, all were there except my late friend who died in 300L. From the results shared by Sahara reporters, Dino used the name Melaye, Daniel Jonah. So i checked for Daniel first, there was nothing like Daniel Melaye or Daniel Jonah. I went to J where i checked Jonah with anything Daniel or Melaye, i didnt find any. Lastly, i went to M where i expected to see Melaye, there was none.
To confirm if old entries were captured, i decided to check my fathers name who graduated from History department in 1978. I was shocked to see my old man's name.
Dino Melaye's name was no where in the list. From my understanding, Dino Melaye was a student of ABU for the required 4 years but needed to spillover and write 3 courses to graduate which he might have not done. It is my conviction that Dino Melaye is not a graduate of ABU Zaria unless some new evidence is shown and analysed to prove otherwise.
When cabals rise for you! Ali & Magu APC fighting back.
In another news, two Igbo boys who killed Cynthia Ozokogu in 2013 after they drugged her and stole her belongings were sentenced to death by hanging yesterday. Seems the Yoruba guy(who other than having a Yoruba name has never ever been to Nigeria) learnt from the condemn Igbo guys.

IpobExposed: Mynd44 but if am the one that posted this it wouldn't make front page. . . I love Nairaland. And I want everybody to know Nnamdi Kanu is a hardcore terrorist. . . . Please take some time to listen to this audio of Nnamdi Kanu saying all Igbos must kill all Hausas at sight. . . Now the judge have taken bribe to free a man who asked for the killing of innocent Hausa people in that video below
We won't let one miscreant cause disunity in the country because of his selfish interest...
Did you mentioned terrorist? Where's Kabiru Sokoto? By the way how many Ak' 47 and IED'S was recovered from Kanu during his arrest? Until then I will take you serious.
The irony of this nonsense you've typed is that its you people, the criminal Igbo tribe from the east, that have made Nigeria such a bad place. Not just in Nigeria sef, South Africans, Kenyans, Spaniards, Thais, Vietnamese, Indonesians, and others will testify that Igbo's are useless criminals and animals.
Your above points are the reason for you to support their exit if at all you're sensible.
