This talkative lunatic 'bishop' is a chronic attention seeker who is unhappy that people no longer listen to his threats against them not paying tithes to him but instead people are listening to Kanu. We know he has been waiting for this day so as to mock Kanu but to burst his bubble, No one cares about his senseless outburst, people will still hold Kanu in high esteem no matter what happens. He is free to commit suicide if he likes

Sufferingboy:
The greatest mistake of Igbos is they are very arrogant(Know it all mentality).

I have been saying it here for long,Igbos should learn to carry others along and seek alliance.They should learn to be humble.

As powerful as tompolo,he know his boundary,He will never come out and start spreading propaganda against other southern tribe or insulting them.Tompolo may not be highly educated,but he is smart to respect other oil producing tribe.


When Gen Irabor was appointed as CDS,Kanu and his followers started spreading propaganda about him and we young Ikas were watching with keen interest.

Life no be about chestbeating and been loud mouthed like Igbos do.If you want to fight NIG government you need aliance,not blackmailing snd insulting other southern tribe who did not wrong you.Igbos learn to strategise and make friends in southern Nigeria not enemies.

Learn to respect other people decision.

Make your comment abeg.Igbos are not really wise,they just loud mouthed.

No Tears for Nnamdi Kanu

By Farooq Kperogi

I’ve known since the beginning of the month that Nnamdi Kanu would be arrested and extradited to Nigeria, but my informant swore me to secrecy, so I kept the information to myself. Today he has been arrested and extradited to Nigeria.

While the mass resentment against Buhari in the Southeast is a justified response to his systematic exclusion of and open rhetorical and actual hostility to the region, Nnamdi Kanu is NOT a symptom of the Southeast’s legitimate angst. He is a different but related problem.

Kanu is a violent, vulgar, venomous-tongued thug that should never have been allowed to exploit the valid angst of the Southeast to rise to prominence. The intolerant, unthinking IPOB cult he has built has become a problem not just for Nigeria but for the vast majority of Igbo people everywhere.

When Kanu was burst forth to the forefront of national and international visibility in July 2015 through the Buhari regime’s thoughtless handling of Radio Biafra, I took the time to listen to him on Radio Biafra. I found a man gibbering vulgar, violent, incoherent, hate-filled but comical rants. He called Nigeria a “zoo”— or the “zoological republic”— and Nigerian citizens “monkeys” or “ill-educated vagabonds.”

He labeled Igbos who didn’t share in his idiocy as “Hausa-born children in Igboland.” His rants were also filled with racially self-hating, negrophobic rhetoric, such as his claims that black people were inherently intellectually inferior and incapable of deep thought. He said he was a “Jew.” He hasn’t changed since then.

He makes no effort to be persuasive. He simply revels in tasteless abuse, intentional prevarications, infantile temper tantrums, and a melodramatic display of rank, comical illiteracy. In my July 2015 column, I said the only people who would take him seriously and be affected by his message were people who already shared his twisted, hateful ideals, which made shutting down his station pointless. “I can bet that it does not speak for nor reach the majority of Igbo people, and that most Igbo people would snigger when they listen to it,” I wrote.

But the Buhari regime made Kanu more popular than he is worth. He was spewing his rib-tickling inanities on the fringes of the Internet and on a barely known radio station. Then, suddenly, when he started attacking President Buhari, Nigerian authorities moved in swiftly to contain him. They announced that they had successfully jammed his radio station but came back a few days later to refute an alleged libelous falsehood the station made against Buhari!

Of course, news of the “jamming” of the radio and the press release refuting what the station reportedly said against Buhari (after it was supposed to have been jammed!) caused the station—and the ideology it espouses—to make national and international headlines. And there was an enormous spike in the number of searches for “Radio Biafra” and “Nnamdi Kanu” on Google and other search engines.

This, combined with Buhari’s unambiguous antipathy toward the southeast, has sparked a resurgence of Biafran and neo-Biafran movements and periodic sanguinary communal upheavals. This was completely avoidable. If the government had ignored (or quietly diluted) Kanu and his Radio Biafra and demonstrated even token large-heartedness toward the southeast (and the deep south) in the immediate aftermath of Buhari’s epochal electoral triumph in spite of opposition from the region, we wouldn’t know of Kanu and IPOB. But Nigerian authorities couldn’t stomach an insult at Buhari.

Whatever it is, I have no tears for Kanu. No reasonable person should. But I think the man needs more sorrow than anger because he is obviously mentally unhinged.

This Kanu extradition to Nigeria came less than 2 weeks after SE leaders pledged their allegiance to one Nigeria which Abaribe was part of.

Could Abaribe be the one who gave Kanu out to FG?

FreeIgbos:
They are likely to succeed in other areas judging from the docility and naivity being displayed by most indigenous ethnic groups but Igboland will certainly be their Waterloo.

Those close to Nnamdi Kanu should tell him to ignore all these minorities and focus on Igboland and Igbo speaking tribes that identify with us regardless of whether they are in SE, SS or MB. There is nothing these ungrateful minorities have that we don't have in abundance, so why waste our energy on people who have been brainwashed to see Igbos as their enemy while their real enemies continue to exterminate them.

We have lived as neighbors with these minorities for centuries without us invading or attacking them yet we are their problem but savages from distant lands have not only taken over their resources but also making their lives miserable. It is hightime we Igbos focused on our areas alone and let the myopic and deluded ones suffer for their foolishness.

Shehu Sani, a former federal lawmaker, has narrated what happened on Saturday when the Abuja-Kaduna train broke down along the way.

The former lawmaker, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District, explained that the train broke down along Jere village last night.

According to him, the ugly incident made the Igbos, Yorubas and Hausas forget their differences and united as brothers and sisters.

“Yesterday, our Kaduna-Abuja train broke down at night for many hours near Jere village.

“All the Yorubas, Igbos and Hausas in the train forgot their differences and united as brothers and sisters, while looking through the window,” he tweeted.

Most recently, Sani had slammed Northern groups for placing a bounty on Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

This was after 17 Northern groups under the aegis of Northern Consensus Movement (NCM) declared Kanu wanted, accusing him of masterminding the killings and destruction of properties owned by Northerners in the Southeast.

Omooba77:
A former Bishop of Akure Diocese of Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Rev Emmanuel Bolanle Gbonigi, had, at least, three encounters with security agents during the military era because of his positions on national issues. In this interview, Gbonigi reflects on the encounters and speaks on national issues including the agitations for secession which have become loud in the South-West and South-East geopolitical zones, and the place of the Yoruba race in the country.

You apparently had some encounters with security operatives during the military era because of your stance on national issues. Can you reflect on them?

President Muhammadu Buhari and I are friends. Between 1984 and1985 when he was military Head of State, I wrote regularly about what his government was doing. He accommodated my criticisms, but his deputy, that man from Ilorin (Major -General) Tunde Idiagbon, didn’t like it. He wanted me to be thrown into detention.


He ordered the military administrator of Ondo State then, the late Mike Akhigbe, to get me locked up in detention. I was invited thrice by the head of the then-National Security Organisation (NSO) to his office. The first time I went there, I had prepared for detention.

I packed along paraphernalia that I would need, but they didn’t know I was aware they wanted to keep me in their custody. So, when I got there, they said their superior was sent for by the military administrator. At different intervals, they would come to tell me that their boss apologised for keeping me waiting.

The third time they came, I told them not to bother as I had prepared to spend the night there. They were shocked. So, later they asked me to go. There was another time; they invited me to their office. That day, the Head of State was to visit Ondo State, so they were keeping everything secure. As usual, they asked me different questions and they wanted to detain me.



By Clever Advertising
I was shocked when I saw many people outside. Members of the public, including taxi drivers, were demanding my release. They insisted that if I was not released, they would not go home despite the efforts of security officials to disperse them. When they realised that the people would not budge, they released me.

The last visit to their office was different. They came to my residence with the official vehicle of their boss and said I would go in the car to their office. But they met the Registrar of our church who was a lawyer with me.

I can’t remember his name now, he is from Ilara. He insisted on going with me. They said they only came for me, but he said since he was present when they came, he would not allow them to take me without going with me.

Eventually, they agreed that he should be allowed to come with me. When it was late in the evening, they told the Registrar that they prepared a place for only me to sleep, but he said he would spend the night sitting on the chair. At one point, they surrendered and allowed us to go home.

You and others fought for the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria…

I will say that what is practised is not true democracy. What democracy means is that power and all the things in the country belong to the people. The people are the owners of the power and all the good things God has bestowed on us.

To use these things well for the welfare of the people, the people have to elect a few people to represent them. This is what we call the legislature. For instance, at the national level, we have the House of Representatives. They are there to represent the people, their constituencies and not to satisfy themselves.

They have to listen to the people and do what they want. And they need to work hard so that people get what they need. We also have the Senate. The Senate is expected to do the same thing.

They are to represent the people and use all resources God has bestowed on us in such a way that the needs of the common people are met, especially the poor, the needy and the unemployed.

What do you make of the security situation of the country?

People are afraid to leave their houses. Children are afraid to go to school, even teachers are afraid to go to school and tertiary institutions to teach.

And farmers are afraid to go to their farms for the fear of being killed or kidnapped.

We have read about instances where doctors were kidnapped and taken away by gunmen who asked their relatives for ransom in millions of naira if they want their loved ones to come back home alive.

Is it appropriate to describe Nigeria as a failed state?

Government, as I said, is not what it ought to be. It is not serving the people the way it should serve. It is not protecting lives and property.

The type of government we have now is not a good government, it is camouflage. It is highly deceitful.

In a situation when people want to run for election, they go to the bank to borrow money to buy nomination forms, not to talk of what they pay to their parties, and even the money they spend during campaigns.

When Buhari asked to be voted for as President in 2015, I thought he would do well. But the things we are experiencing are not what he promised.

Do you think secession is the solution to Nigeria’s problem as some Yoruba and Igbo elements are advocating?

I do not believe that the way out of the crises is for everyone to go his own way. In 1914, the ethnic groups were joined together by our colonial masters. They joined us together by force. And we had what is called amalgamation.

And we have been struggling since then to be one country. Well, it is better for us to pray together and ask God for the grace to help us out of our problems so that we can continue together as one country because, if we break-up, it is not going to be as easy as some people think.

There will be fighting among states and countries over borders. Look at some of the states in the country, the people fight over land boundaries and, sometimes, it becomes serious. So, if we now break into smaller countries, our problems will be more serious.

Small countries

My appeal is that we should not break into small countries. It will not help; rather it will worsen our situation. Let me remind you that those who seek election for possessions are still there, they will be the one jostling for power and still not make things better.

But if we pray to God, cry to him that we have made mistakes and have done what we ought not to do and repent and change from being selfish, greedy, heartless, lack concern for the needy, and change to become servant leaders, things will change for good.

What is your view about the different arms of government that we have in Nigeria?

Let me say this, we don’t need the Senate. We copied it from the United States. America’s economy is strong enough to accommodate two chambers of the National Assembly.

But, in Nigeria, we don’t have the financial strength for such. We copied it from them and we our situation has become worse and we don’t have as much money as America, and our senators take home millions of Naira monthly.

And they have not come out to clearly state that it is not so. In a country like ours with no good economy, our senators to take home more than N20 million each while our young, able-bodied, educated citizens are without jobs, and the Federal Government is even contemplating how to reduce workers’ salaries which they do not even pay regularly.

What has become of your group, Yoruba Unity Forum?

I am no longer a member of the group. I left when I found out the group was no longer fulfilling the reason for which it was founded. It was founded by the late Chief (Mrs.) HID Awolowo.

She invited some Yoruba leaders to Ikenne, it got to a point she sent a message to me through an archbishop who is now retired. I told him to kindly tell mama that, at my age, I was now retired.

I said I was more than 70 years old and that what I wanted to do were three things: rest, read and write. God gave me 70 years to serve, I wanted to rest, read and write. She kept pestering me. She said that even if I was in a wheelchair, I should join her. She kept appealing to me to join them

She said this body that had just been established, they hadn’t named it then, they had made me the chairman and told me I had the freedom to choose the deputy chairman and I told her I needed someone I could trust and was agile and could speak the truth.

Our emphasis was to work hard to make sure we protect Yoruba culture, because psychologists said if the culture of a people dies, the people die. We cannot allow Yoruba culture to die.

The most important aspect of the culture is the language, and we could see that Yoruba language is dying. Mama said she saw how passionate I had been about Yoruba culture; even when I was a teacher; I had taught Yoruba language to the children on how to do their pastoral job in Yoruba. So, the group was named Yoruba Unity Forum.

Yoruba Parapo

But instead of us working together to protect Yoruba culture, I realized that the majority were using the group as a stepping stone for political offices. And it happened before.

There was a group called Yoruba Parapo. I was made their chairman. We did very well, but after a while, I found out people were using it to get political offices in Abuja. I was still the Bishop in Akure.

I called them and advised that we work together for the good of all and, in doing that, the good would go round instead of chasing personal ambition.

Most of the time, we held meetings and assigned work to people to help us achieve what we needed to achieve for the welfare of Yoruba people and Yoruba as a whole, but people will just go without carrying out the assignments.

Do you think the Yoruba race has a future in Nigeria?

Yes, we are part of the nation. If we do what I have said, repent and do the will of God, God will help us. We have been very selfish and greedy.

In fact, when you look at what we do from time to time, we are heartless, we don’t have pity on our children, the sick, the weak. They just think of themselves alone and that’s all. If we repent, God will help us, and all things are possible for him to do.

All powers in heaven and on earth belong to God. But we are like this because we keep doing our will and not His will. If individuals surrender their lives to Him, He will help us and we will be surprised and glorify Him.

God is waiting to help us, let us go to Him, and Nigeria will become a good county. Nigeria is going to be great.

This is true,. It is an established fact, from how they behave, that Igbos are the most insincere and biggest hypocrites in the universe.


The noise of Biafra is just empty rant and a tool Igbos use to keep fighting and disturbing those they hate.

If Igbos are sincere about gaining their own nation then they should drop everything, wherever they are, and move to the SE to commit physical and financial might to transforming their region into the paradise they claim they can build.

No one takes Igbos seriously because the insincere hypocrites keep shouting Biafra from places as far and as remote as Alaska, China,Kumasi, Kinshasa and Eritrea.

What a description!!! Nigerian fine boy, from a fine boy to bbq grills

Did you read the write up at all? The Biafran soldiers thought that Ore was heavily enforced that is why they did not move beyond that bridge, if they had know that just 129 soldiers were there they would have easily overrun them and head straight for Lagos which was the target.

I laugh hard at the bold part, go and read about Major Okafor and how he completely destroyed Nigerian army second division during the war. We had a lot going against us then that is why we lost the war. If we had just a quarter of the weapons you guys had the outcome would have been different.

Which war did adekunle fight? He was busy shooting women & children within the outskirts of Biafra while the man went forward under Etuk. Do you know that Biafran forces destroyed one-third of adekunle's 3rd marine commando even before he could start operation OAU?

That’s what the former Yugoslavians thought, and that’s what the former Soviet Union countries also thought ;even Scotland and Wales plan to split from the UK at some point and the calls for such as increasing.

The expected disintegration of Nigeria can only be halted by ;
- addressing the injustices people have had to endure for decades
- investment in education, healthcare and infrastructure
- abolishing open grazing of cattle
- security , security and security

If these things cannot be achieved soon, Somalia will be a paradise compared to Nigeria within the next 5-10 years.
