I'm so apprehensive here, let's keep all political inclinations away bikonu. It starts in some hours time and nobody knows how it will roll. Aba and Umuahia incidents today isn't good to the ears and I wonder what this bodes for the rest of us.
Nkpor is already heating up.


Let's keep ourselves updated about what is happening around our neighborhoods and warn others.

Rossikki:
So why are 25 milion Igbos still living in other states of Nigeria? You are like a man who says he is not hungry, but when the madam goes to the market, he sneaks into the kitchen to steal meat from the pot.

WHY NNAMDI KANU MUST BE REJECTED BY IGBOS

A lot of people believe that Nnamdi kanu is fighting for the good of the igbos, and that something good will come out of this fight . But in my view, Kanu is actually directly or indirectly plotting the downfall of igbos. If Ojukwu was alive today, he would have warned him against such action . Below are some of the key reasons that form my opinion about him .

1, Lack of Administrative Ability : Ojukwu was educated and military governor, he knew what administration and coordination was all about. Nnamdi kanu is the opposite, he lacks the administrative ability. Even to run the agitation successfully . Ojukwu who had all this ability failed, is it now kanu banking on a group of touts and jobless youths that will succeed ? Is the Igbo Marginalization also the reason kanu did not achieve anything in Britain ?

2,Kanu is building a Nation on Hatred: Kanu started his crusade on hate speech, which is a very wrong foundation . A nation built on hatred will be destroyed by hate. Hatred becomes the culture of that nation . If they people do not see any external people to hate, they start to hate and destroy themselves. If you eventually get the Biafran Nation, how will you relate with other nations that you have taught your people to hate? Can Biafra survive alone without other ethnic groups ? Hatred is more destructive than productive .


3, Disrespect for elders : Nnamdi Kanu in several occasions have shown total disrespect for elders and OHANAEZE NDIGBO. He might claim they have sold out and do not have interest of the Igbos. But he is a role model to his followers, which means the biafran nation will be one without respect for elders.


4, Destruction of the Igbo economy : It is easier to destroy than to build. It takes a day to bring down a building, but takes months or years to build one. Nnamdi Kanu has never successfully created anything, therefore its easy for him to want to destroy the investment of others. He has never built a successful business or company, which is why he cares less of what happens to the investment of others outside Igbo land .Preaching a message of hate for the North, where a lot of igbos have investments and successful businesses is counter productive .

Even their confrontation with the Nigerian Army in Aba, will result in a state of emergency. It is the igbo businesses that will be affected and not the Northerners. It's easy for him to ask Igbos to leave the north and move down to the east because he has no investment anywhere. He has no investment in UK or Nigeria, so he can easily park his bags and leave UK for Nigeria and move back to UK. He has no investment, company or workers who depend on him for livelihood. So he assumes every igbo person can pack their bags and leave anytime like he does . The Igbos have come a long way, after the war, we lost our money in the banks and were given just 20 pounds, today we have risen to enviable heights . Kanu wants to set igbos back economically . When an Igbo man loses his investment outside Igbo land, the igbo economy is being negatively affected. Someone without an investment won't understand it .


5,Political Setback : Kanu does not understand that there is nothing he can achieve in Nigeria without the politicians and the constitution . Asking his followers not to participate in elections, burn their voters card etc, will negatively affect Igbo's politically . even the referendum they seek, will still need voters card to be conducted . By 2019, the population of igbo voters will be reduced, those who have cards will not vote, and Igbo's will be sidelined once again . This is aimed at destabilizing igbos politically, and will have negative consequences in the long run .


6,Victim Mentality : Nnamdi Kanu has never distinguished himself in any area in life. He has not built a successful carrier or business, therefore unfit to be a role model for igbo youths . Alot of prominent sucesful igbo people have become something from Nothing . The hausas and yorubas, you will always trace the source of their wealth to family . But for igbos, most of the wealthy made it without help . Now the stories of people like innoson, coscharis and alot of other igbo business men should be the motivation for upcoming igbo youths. Rather Nnamdi kanu is making them lazy, believing that someone in the north is the reason for their failure and they can't succeed in Nigeria unless Biafra comes. Fine, igbos are marginalized , but that should be a challenge for the igbos to work hard to succeed in every area they choose. Since we do not have the level of support or advantage of the North and SW who continued to enjoy Nigeria and occupy positions during and after the civil war, igbo youths should not engage in idleness.

There is no time to waste sitting around, pointing fingers at the North . The stories of the successful igbo sons and daughters should be a motivation and not the victim mentality preached by kanu . The new breed of igbos kanu is raising are not the hardworking "go getter" type. But those who will sit idle, not improve on their lives, waiting for biafra to come before the succeed . that is not the message we need in Igbo land. Its only someone like Kanu who did not achieve anything in Nigeria and even in UK with lots of opportunities , that can be preaching such a message laziness and blame games.

7,Wasting Igbo lives : The greatest investment anyone can make is in human beings . Those countries we called developed today, did not become developed because of natural resources. They became developed because they invested in people. Today igbo youths are dying for something that will not happen . Igbos are losing potentials that would have been harnessed to be more productive .

8, Inconsistency : Kanu is not consistent, he is a politician. He is looking for a reward in all this and will eventually sell to the highest bidder. The same kanu that preached hate for the yorubas, asked igbos not to attend yoruba churches, began to dine and wine with FFK and Fayose. Saying the Yoruba's have changed. What exactly changed ?

He spoke with so much hate about the hausas, and later said he does not hate them, he loves yaraudua etc. So if he loved yaradua and hates buhari, then why preach hatred against the entire north. Why not tell igbos buhari is their enemy and not the north ? If he loves yaradua and hates buhari, then his agitation is political and against buhari as a person . With this level of inconsistency, its clear it won't be hard for him to change his stand when he gets the right offer .

My advice to Igbo Youths, most positions in cooperate organizations and government are occupied by the north and the SW because of the civil war. We have managed to catch-up without government support. Dont sit idle and listen to Kanus hate message and victim mentality. Work hard legitimately, if you can't afford university education, find a skill and master it immediately . Invest in your future, read, learn and work hard, the sky will be your starting point.

SamzackD:
You guys started this the world sees you guys as terrorist right now, you don't take up arms to attack and destroy properties of people who don't share same ideology with you, that's same as Boko haram

SamzackD:
This goes to show how far your Biafra would go,

cause you guy's are destroying public properties and threatening lives which only proves that IPOB is a violent group and the Nigeria army was sent to quell their activities in the SE, so any case you think you've got against the Nigeria army with the ICC was destroyed the moment your brothers resorted to using violence against the military

My only advice to you guys is to denounce your membership with the IPOB cause you guys are now terrorist's and every member of the IPOB would be treated as such

TonyeBarcanista:
IPOB is not synonymous with Igbo tribe.

IPOB is a terrorist organisation that must be annihilated

Yyeske:
My message has been passed already

Yyeske:
My parents brought me up to be respectful and not join any gang known worldwide to be insultive

Yyeske:
whatever that means, I don't understand that language

Yyeske:
IPOB miscreants

Yyeske:
Lol, no time. I need serious people to discuss with

Yyeske:
After insulting your lineage, let sence fall on you.
Meanwhile were you in Umuahia yesterday because any IPOB miscreant not there is a coward

sarrki:
Baba those ipobs are foolish people

trytillmake:
The issue of Biafra has been there since Jonathan but low key, now Buhari came with a nice inaugural speech instead of him to unite the country as one Nigeria he was busy appointing northerners to key positions even the SSG was a northerner his ministers were all political APC loyalists he said he would concentrate more on those that voted for him than those that did not ; Now what do you expect the Igbos to feel, they felt left out and feel they must be loyal to APC before they are listened to in Nigeria.

Now enter Nnnamdi Kanu who has realised this loophole Buhari has created he has succeeded in telling the Unfocused ,jobless,hungry,unelightened youths from that region [i stand to be corrected] what they want to hear now they feel he is their lord and master, but they forget they we are in a democracy any grievance u have the courts are there to cater for everybody besides u have yr senators and representatives both local and federal, their job is to service the people.

What's the big deal to be a Nigerian? This is more than 50 of independence still nothing to show for it.
Those asking for secession are within their fundamental human right.

I think the Igbo leaders, senators, representatives should stand and condemn this uprising and instead seek for more political presence for the Igbos in the federal level nothing stops an Igbo Man from being SSG nothing stops the Federal govt from making the igbo land a massive creative region for quality goods which can be exported worldwide, this will quiet agitations and create jobs for millions of youths.

With a buhari, u best don't waste ur time asking for it cos he won't heed. He is most divisive being as one of Nigeria presidents

Let us live together and respect each other, Politicians are only settling their pocket, Nnnamdi Kanu is fighting a good cause but a wrong way.

Asking for equal right is never a wrong thing. Anybody could demand for secession through referendum if he doesn't like his current status. The catalonians are on it now and, I said nobody, nobody has been killed.
Thank you

UNIZIK1stSon:
Ex president Olusegun Obasanjo has said that Biafra is not the answer to the agitations by the young people of the South eastern part of Nigeria.

In a recent interview with BBC News Pidgin, The Former President said:

“Di Young young people for Southeast, dem say na Biafra, wetin dem know wey bi Biafra? But di thing be say dem no happy. Dem no happy as things dey for Nigeria and I no blame dem,”

“Some people are hungry, some people no get work… de problem be say, people are fed up because wetin dem want, dem no get. Hunger dey catch dem, family dem no fit take care of ,” Obasanjo said.

Saintsammurai:
You that have proper education, that only rant online but run like a coward when the armies invade the east.. why not be vigilant and protest..

Saintsammurai:
This is just a concise and simple truth as to why biafra will never happen.... Biafra has been an agenda of few men that is fueled by greed and dangerous motives. BIAFRA is not and was never the will of the people from the east,, it was an idea fueled from greed by ojukwu and now Nnamdi kanu..and this idea was forced upon to the gullible people of the east, and they took the bait...Catalan independence that is currently trending in spain was started by the people, online poll shows that about 80% of catalans wants independence,, they dont need a man like Nnamdi kanu before they protest, unlike in NIGERIA where majority of easterners dont even care of biafra,, all they need is for the federal government to represent their region well in Abuja...A biafra by Nnamdi kanu forced upon by gullible easterners will not hold....Biafra can only succeed if it indeed comes from the heart of 80% of easterners.

Some perpetually bitter souls will expectedly reject the claim and figures that confirm we're officially out of recession. They are same senseless wailers who rejoiced over the negative statistics that affirmed Nigeria was in recession. How can a set of people be this silly, confused and irrational?

NIGERIA IS OUT OF RECESSION. ACCEPT IT OR DRINK RAT POISON!

This time last year, a bag of rice was around N26k, today it's btw N14k and N16k.

This time last year, a small cup of Gaari was N50, today same measure about N20.

This time last year, a dollar was above N500, today it's less than N360.

Many other consumer goods have fallen drastically in price. Yet, wailing idiots and pigs would want us to believe otherwise.

PMB is shaming them with credible leadership.

PMB go rule una and una papa and mama till 2023 wether una like am or not.
