Tranquillity360: [s][/s]Trash from enemy of Ipob and Biafra.
Simon Ekpa that always end his massage with the sentence "From Simon Ekpa, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Disciple on Biafra restoration"is who you are talk about.
Now he not a foolish sheep but you hated and berated him when he was asked to start broadcasting on radio Biafra.
And why is news only ZOO media and not in any Biafra page or even in Simon Ekpa page?
Who berated him? Stop hallucinating abeg.It is a fact Simon Ekpa refused to take IPOB membership oath that you föölishly and galdly took and start acting like a sheep before MNK.Wether it is zoo media propaganda or not, Simon Ekpa will soon be declared a Sabo for refusing to take oath of allegiance to the Supreme Mazi and you will comply as an obedient 'aturu' Nnamdi Kanu that you are .
Simon Ekpa has refused to swear oath of allegiance to supreme leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,they are afraid Simon Ekpa may hijack their platform as Kanu once did to Uwazuruike.To become an IPOB member you must swear an oath to be loyal and submissive to Nnamdi Kanu not to Biafra o, that is why his leadership is based on command and control.He controls his followers like umu aturu.Simon Ekpa is not a foolish sheep.
That is Chief Edwin Clarke is speaking for his people which is the south south people ( niger delta region )
Under international law, the Igbos have a good case in seeking for independence for Biafra.
But they are going about their independence pursuit in a wrong way by wanting to annex a fellow southern region.
They even greedily set their eyes to annex Ortom 's Benue state just because of a few Igbos settlement in some Benue community.
Their ally and supporter against oppression for that matter.
If freedom fighters like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu focus on the 5 core Igbo states in the south east region to get the Biafra project actualized.
He will not receive much backlash from people of the niger delta region.
The yoruba freedom fighters did not employ long throat to demand that Kwara states and kogi state including midwest region especially the edo state part join oduduwa republic.
Kwara state and Kogi state have yoruba population but they put aside the feeling or the temptations of annexing those states with yoruba minorities and focus on the main 6 core yoruba speaking states.
The Igbos should follow the yoruba template for peace to reign in the land.
The Igbos feelings of getting access to the atlantic ocean by all negative approach to enable the intended Biafra republic have seaport will cause so much disaffection.
Referendum or no referendum south south or niger delta region do not want to be annexed into Biafra.
There are some indigenous Igbo communities in Southern Benue not Igbo settlement, call it what it is.
Princedapace: It does not exist now. yes. But will exist someday becus Nigeria will never continue like this forever. Lol, never. It is a matter of time, Nigeria will scatter.
With the rising population, unwarranted killings, poverty rate, and ethnic bigotry, Nigeria will surely fall apath. Just a matter of time. lol, people will get tired. Watch this space.
Princedapace: my brother, no one is even talking about eastern region. All sane minds have said is this: Igbos in south south should have the right to choose where to belong, period.
Already Igbos in South South either belongs to Delta state or Rivers state at the moment and nobody is talking about referendum except IPOB on social media. In reality it does not exist.
gidgiddy: This is not an IPOB matter, this is about who has shown they want to be Biafrans. It is not for one man, whether Clark or any Governor, to be speaking about what various tribes want or do not want. The people can speak for themselves
Below are Efiks, Ikwerres and Ibibios saying that they are Biafrans. Its not about one man sitting down in an airconditioned office, talking about who wants what
Tell your man and ally Senator Abaribe to move a motion for a Referendum in the Senate that is the right way to go about it not by making noise on social media and stop wasting your time or end up either dead or in prison for nothing. Trying to restore Biafra is like trying to raise a dead man back to life.
gidgiddy: He is speaking for his people? How can an Ijaw man like Clark speak for Ogoja, Efik, Oron, Ibibio and many others, whom he has no connection with?
Someone will say that a certain people should not speak for others. The same person person will get up and speak for more than 40 tribes, in the name of one fictitious nonsense called "Niger Delta"
That is hypocritical
How many tribes have come out and said they are not interested in IPOB Biafra? Is it that you guys are deaf or dumb?Almost all the state governors in the former Eastern region have said count them out of your proposed Biafra, how else do you want to be told before you get some shame?Those tirbes you mentioned above is any of them agitating for referendum?Did they mandate IPOB to agitate on their behalf? IPOB have no mandate to speak for any group in the former Eastern region including ndi Igbo.
The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance and the current National Chairman and founder of United Progressive Party (UPP), Chekwas Okorie, has disputed claims that the late Biafran warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, was onr of the founding fathers of APGA.
According to him, Ojukwu joined APGA six months after the registration of the party.
Chief Okorie in a statement entitled, “I Am the Undisputed Founder of the All Progressives Grand Alliance – APGA” and made available to newsmen, in Abuja yesterday narrated how he founded the party and brought in the former Biafran leader to join the party and become its presidential candidate.
He said, “INEC announced the registration of APGA, NDP and UNPP on Saturday 22nd June, 2002 and I received the Certificate of Registration of APGA on Monday, 24th June 2002 in an impressive ceremony at INEC Headquarters presided over by late Dr. Abel Guobadia, the Honourable Chairman of INEC at the time.”
He further revealed that it was about six months later that Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu was persuaded to dump the defunct APP for the APGA.
He said, “On the 24th of December 2002, he (Ojukwu) agreed to become a member of APGA after I had consented to propose him as our presidential candidate for the 2003 presidential election.
“This took place at his No 4 Isiuzo Street residence, in Independence Layout, Enugu, in the presence of Justice Eze Ozobu (rtd), Dr Joe Nwaorgu, Prince Richard Ozobu, Chief H.B.C Ogboko and Chief Onwuka Ukwa. On the 26th of December 2002, I proposed Dim Odumegwu-Ojukwu as our presidential candidate in a well-attended World Press Conference at the Zodiac Hotel, Independence Layout Enugu.
“On the 10th of January, at the Old Parade Ground, Garki, Abuja, I proudly raised the hands of Dim Odumegwu-Ojukwu and Alhaji Sanni Bayero as our presidential and vice presidential candidates respectively.”
Okorie blamed the distortion of the history of APGA on the former national treasurer and national chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh, who he accused of deliberate distortion of facts.
He insisted that when APGA was formed Umeh was still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“I wonder why any person with any sense of proportion would want to ascribe the founding of APGA to Dim Odumegwu-Ojukwu. The Eze Igbo Gburugburu I associated with for a long time never for a moment laid claim to founding APGA. God knows that I genuinely and loyally added appreciable value to Dim Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s political profile. I deserve nothing but gratitude,” he added.
He noted that “Section 18(1) of APGA Constitution registered with INEC which was there before Umeh joined the party states as follows. ‘The Founder of the party Chief Chekwas Okorie shall hold the office of the national chairman of the party for an initial period of four years and may hold the office for a second term of four years if he so desires’. Umeh aided by sponsors from the Obasanjo Presidency, struck when I was mid way in my first term of four (4) years.”
He expressed happiness that none of the children of late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu has been tempted to ascribe founding APGA to their noble father, Late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Eze Igbo Gburugburu, a man of immeasurable integrity would never desire to be dressed with borrowed robes.
“I am unable to come to terms with the reasons why his wife Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, who is aware of the veracity of the above narrative would want to join in denigrating the image of the great leader by dressing her late husband in borrowed robes as if he needed it to compliment his historic and noble accomplishments. This is an obvious and regrettable disservice to the personality of the sage.
“The incontrovertible fact is that I, Chief Dr. Chekwas Okorie am the Founder of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA 2002 and the United Progressive Party, UPP 2012. By this feat I proudly join Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Mallam Aminu Kano and Alhaji Waziri Ibrahim, all of blessed memory, as one of four Nigerians who founded two political parties each in their life time”, he added.
You can edit wikipedia all you want that does not remove the fact that Ojukwu was not one of the fouding members of APGA. Chief Chekwas Okorie invited Ojukwu to come and join them after the extablishement of APGA.
senatordave1: I think senator abaribe abi iberibe criticism of the fg and pretense of siding with the masses is hypocritical.why has he refused to criticize or advise governor ikpeazu? Why has he failed to embark on any constituency projects in his constituency? At least dino melaye the clown was a little bit genuine.he attacked not just the presidency but his state governor.same as shehu sani.if he is for real,let him condemn the bad rulership of ikpeazu.or is he afraid of not actualizing his guber ambition in 2023 or going back to the senate?
Abaribe is a yahoo yahoo senator.Not even a single street light in constituency in over 16 years and he came to discover that IPOBs are the biggest maga organization in the world and he will continue to use them to remain relevant.A failed governor like Ikpeazu is also following his footstep.
vasel15: You know most people keep saying why can't ipob join politics in Igbo land and I tell them no because Nigerian politics is a poisonous fruit that when eaten it would corrupt your spirit and you would start screaming one Nigeria and again it won't work because the Fulanis won't allow a pro ipob political party to be in the system.
I have seen this in Turkey where the Kurdish people were a part of the political system but Erdoğan removed a lot of them and jailed some and Kurdish politicians are still in jail till today so joining Nigerian politics won't work for ipob
The only party that would be able to face ipob would be Apga because they are from The same tree because ojukwu created apga with an ideology and one of them is progressivism but today those ideas are not followed by the pot-bellied fools in Apga today
Massob would be the 3rd political party in Igbo but ipob would still be the party to beat, ipob would be like ANC in South Africa but the difference is ipob would follow the rule of law and there would nothing like dictatorship and people would hate to hear the name PDP and APC in Igbo land, so start forming your own political party now.
esnbrutality: Chai....people don suffer for the Nnamdi Kanu matter. OHANEZE wey no fit even conduct meeting in the open dey intercede on behalf of a man that is more respected than the useless State Governors??
Anyway, things are past the usual nonsensical jargon of stupid SE "so called" leaders.
When the Nation emerges ...they need to relocate to sambisa..because their existence will be under scrutiny!!
The nation will emerge when? At the end of the day it is the political class that will negotiate for his release.
wirinet: [s]Why advertise your ignorance openly on nairaland? A V.P in a parliamentary system of government? First of all Sardauna was not vying for any elective post. He was simply the head of the party. Then the party that won the elections or that was the majority in a coalition government was will produce the prime minister and other posts in the cabinet (ministers) would be shared according to negotiations. In the negotiation between Zik and Sardauna, NPC produced the prime minister and NCNC produced the president (ceremonial ) and finance Minister.
[/s]
Didn't you see the person I quoted in that post made reference to Zik prefering VP and Senate president to executive power? Abeg park oneside this sunday morning jor.
gidgiddy: You are using extreme examples that did not go through due judicial process. Kanu will be tried at the high court in which an impartial judge will expect the prosecution to present evidence. What evidence the prosecution has remains to be seen but if it is Kanu's utterances and broadcasts is all they have, the case is already dead
You guys are also arguing that his extradition did not go through due process according to his lawyer. He can't deny he is the founder of armed ESN which have waged a violent war against the state.
Ovamboland: What if Sardauna was second guessing Zik who naively fell for the trap. Is this worth throwing away executive powers away for a ceremonial post?
Check am now.
Who will throw away opportunity to be president in Nigeria today to settle for VP or Senate president?
And you think Zik didn't have what it takes to know whether Sarduana was lying or not? You think the decision with whom to form a coalition government was made in a day? Awo was also angling to become VP to Sarduana and only sent delegates to the East to deceive Zik and Zik didn't fall to it according to this report.
mekaboy: Everyone knows i am not a supporter of kanu. Because of the igbo lives he wasted. Failing to accept Biafra with 5 states, and failing to use Anambra election to install a governor that will be different from other corrupt looters.
Thats by the way.
Now if we look at the charges against Nnamdi Kanu, and the evidence available, he won't get less than 20 years in prison.
Like i said, he can be let off the hook if he agrees to restructure, meets buhari and everything is settled politically. After all, they are all politicians.
But an interesting angle to this is that, as long as Buhari is holding Kanu in Nigeria, he can't travel to UK for healthcare.
As Kanu is in an uncomfortable situation in Nigeria, Buhari is also in an uncomfortable situation.
So i wonder who will surrender first.
So you believe this lie that he was offered 5 states of SE and he refused? Who offered it to him and as what?
gidgiddy: What evidence? The thing about Kanu's case that makes it almost impossible for government to win is that he will charged for things that happened when he wasnt even in the country
How the government will be able to prove that a man in London, commited crimes in Nigeria, will be very difficult, if not impossible
Abdullah Öcalan of PKK was sentenced to life in prison after he was captured in Kenya in 1999 by Turkey special forces and have remained in prison since then.He never based in Turkey but was the leader of a terrorist group.Many of the terrorists redition to USA after 9/11 and imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay never lived in USA.Hushpuppi never lived in USA but is facing trial in US today so your argument is nonsensical.
wirinet: I honestly think more highly of Igbos than you guys are displaying here. Most Igbos I interact with in person are usually very intelligent and cerebral but these online ones are display such low deductive capacity.
Awo deny what? Maybe you need to go to Ikenne and wake up Awo to ask him, then he might deny or confirm it.
A sourceless story written by one fictitious Babalola Akinnuoye writes from Ibadan, Western Nigeria, written on a blog in Jul 17, 2019, and you want Awo to deny it.
OK, Awo Backstabbed Zik making all Yorubas backstabbers. Infact everyone that had ever interacted with igbos have one way or the other backstabbed them. Igbos are the only frontstabbers in the whole of Nigeria and the whole of Africa.. Are you happy now?
Uchek: Awolowo was duplicitous and deceitful in his negotiation with Zik. It was wrong sending two delegation simultaneously to Balewa and Azikiwe. It drove Zik into Balewa's hand. Zik should have look beyond that behavior and focused on political power which is the ultimate price. According to Nkrumah, seek political power and everything shall be added to you
Political power with who? Zik saw Awo's team as not being honest and don't want to be outsmarted by Awo so ho went into alliance with Sarduana to form government.
wirinet: Let's assume that the quote in red is true. How do we know that the Sardauna did not outfox Zik? What other third party confirmed that Awo actually sent a delegation to Sokoto at the same time he sent a delegation to Onitsha? Remember a trip to Sokoto then would have taken many days is not up to a week. Why didn't Zik confirm the story told by Sarduana before abandoning Awo and dashing NPC (a party that came a distant third in the elections) the prime minister and then accepting to be a ceremonial head?
Another mystery is that if Awo actually offered to give the north prime minister position and accept finance minister, why did the Sarduana not accept but accepted Ziks offer instead?
Why did Zik refuse Awo's offer of prime Minister and accepted Sardauna's offer of ceremonial president instead?
So this story is the basis of the distrust of Igbos of Yorubas in general. It seems the north are master's of political strategy.
Did Awolowo deny it? If he did I will like to read about it.
