waternogatenemy: TINUBU KNOWS HE IS SUPPOSE TO RELEASE NNAMDI KANU.
HE IS WAITING FOR IGBOS TO AGREE TO VOTE FOR HIM FIRST.
WE KNOW THAT MAN VERY WELL, CORRUPT TO THE BONE MARROW.
We are not going to trade our votes for any individual vote for Tinubu should be based on merit and performance .MNK discouraged his supporters from participating in zoo election so who gonna vote for Tinubu on his behalf?
PeeKayh: “Suffice to say that despite not fulfilling any of his campaign promises, his unprovoked tirades and tantrums against the PDP decampees lack originality and comprehensivess[b] having singlehandedly destroyed Abia equity and political formation by his dangerous negotiations[/b] and lily- livered alignment with his pretentious allies who could not see him elected as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under his party platform.
“I make bold to say that Ikpeazu’s sychophantic and notable wide-ranging overview of the political activities of his insidious government that superintended over the affairs of Abia State from 2015-2023 cannot be over-emphasized as he has permanently suffered immense political dislocation, relevance and credibility to swiftly sing a vicissitude of fortune and hope”.
At bolded is a fact Abia south may live to regret for decades because of Ikpeazu's myopic and greediness to intall another Ngwa man as his successor is his greatest undoing because right now there is nothing like rotation of power anymore to the advantage of Abia North politicians.Ikpeazu couldn't have become governor without Abia state charter of Equity that rotates power within the 3 senatorial zones. What is left of Abia PDP is in total control of Wike using Ikpeazu as stooge.We thank for Alex Otti that came to our rescue.
This is the commander Okigwe Imo state zone. He controls most of the camps in Imo state and many of his boys were killed recently very soon he go collect. I am happy that operation kpochapu is going on across southeast states. Picture showing Gentle the Yahoo posing in front of his camp in Okigwe....Gentle is commander of Autopilot BLA.
Tranquillity360: I thought ipob are the ones doing all this in Igbo land?
Do you want me to show you pictures and videos of either arrested or killed ipob criminals? Since few days now that Gov Soludo launched operation Udo ga achi in Anambra state do you know how many UGM that have been either killed or arrested?I don't go about deceiving myself I say it as it is.All the criminal camps inside bush that are all over Igboland operated by who? I condemn criminality nor matter who is involve because they both cause the same damage to society whether they are Igbo or Fulani kidnapper they are same to me if any of them catch you na die.
IGBOPROMISE1: You referring to secessionist groups and efforts in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Spain as examples of what IPOB should emulate is both disingenuous and laughable at the same time! Dude, i can tell you for free that had the secessionist efforts in the aforementioned countries been faced with the kind of savage, murderous and vindictive Nigerian hegemonic group IPOB is up against, they all wouldn’t have had the opportunity to form political parties to champion their cause in parliament! By now, all three would be tagged ‘terrorists’ with their members hunted down either for elimination or incarceration!
Besides, the situation is a bit more nuanced than the black or white you’re trying to make it out to be! The groups in Spain and Ireland have been labelled terrorists in the past, and there are actual terrorist acts we can link to them, which they have taken responsibility for as terrorist groups normally do! The one of Scotland are not seen as terrorists, but the common denominator that links all three is that they’ve all engaged with their respective federal gov’ts at one point or another, and all are presently in gov’t in their respective regions!
Coming back to Nigeria, are you seriously suggesting that the same IPOB your federal gov’t has hunted down, murdered its members, and refused to engage with, will now be given the freedom to walk into INEC headquarters, register a political party with the stated aim of seceding from Nigeria, and INEC will shake their hands warmly and promptly register them as a political party!? You really think the Yoruba/Fulani hegemonic alliance will sit by and watch proceedings play out, then allow IPOB sweep the polls in the next elections in region and solidify their plans for their secession!? If you think the above scenario would be allowed to play out in Nigeria as it has done to varying degrees in the three countries you mentioned, then you’re a poor student of Nigerian history and politics!
I would also like to add that no ethic group since independence in 1960 has practiced and lived ‘one Nigeria’ more than the Igbo! All Igbo and neutral observers will agree to this….as well as a few honest Yoruba and Fulani too! There would have been no talk of secession of Biafra or Ndigbo from Nigeria had the country been a fair and just society where no component part is seen as ‘conquered 2nd class citizens’, and where all component parts are allowed to use their own human and natural resources to develop at their own pace! I can tell you for free that had Ndigbo/Biafra had the same regional autonomy and control of their resources like the groups in Scotland and Spain presently have, there would have been no MASSOB or IPOB today talking of secession! Secession is a last resort and signals that the party attempting to secede has lost all faith in the capacity or desire of the central gov’t to be fair and equitable to all component parts!
My referring to the Niger-Delta militants earlier was to point out to you that in fact your federal gov’t can engage with those they see as ‘terrorists’ or ‘outlaws’….that’s a gov’t interested in peace and justice!
I f you think democratic process is not possible the other option left is either Guerrilla warfare or conventional war like in the case of Biafra war of which ipob is bound to lose at huge cost to ndi Igbo.I can bet you that ndi Igbo are not willing or interested to fight another unnecessary and unwinnable war. So long as political leadership in Igboland are pro extablishment ipob is toiling in vain and very soon they wİll become history like MASSOB.I pity whoever believes that ipob is capable of achieving anything meaningful. Democratic option still remains the best option.Ndi Igbo can demand for regional autonomy which will not be seen as treason and can take it from there.You can't just out of nowhere and start demanding for separate nation you must start from somewhere.
Struggle for self determination should be led by intellectuals,it should never be left in the hands of thugs,illiterates undesirable criminals like this guy in this picture called Gentle the Yahoo who was recruited by Nnamdi Kanu later become the commander of Autopilot BLA.
Ringstonermasks: Just saw how South East has been leeching off our national wealth and at thesame time, selling a false narrative of being the only region with value in Nigeria.
I would advise the govt to let them go and form their own country, offcos, with the exception of the Niger Deltans.
Let them bask in their unproductiveness and vain delusion of grandeur...
Sharpsharp00123: chinedu u yourself know that's not possible, cos how can a president step down for a known loser
Mind u Jonathan is a politician and he can do an undo so when u Igbos pick enemies because of Jonathan then think of what will happen if Jonathan joins APC tomorrow
Will GEJ be the first PDP person to join APC? GEJ is no longer politically relevant.What value does he add to PDP at the moment? If he joins APC I am not sure if he can win Bayelsa for apc. GEJ is done and dusted.
IGBOPROMISE1: Dude, it’s you that doesn’t get it, and from the looks of things probably never will! Or maybe you DO get it, and are just acting dumb owing to your anti-Igbo/‘one-Nigeria’ agenda on this forum!
I don’t know why some of you moan about ‘epistle’ over just a few lines! You talk as if you never saw the four walls of a university classroom, and so find rigorous and robust debates tiresome!
You pose the usual diversionary, redundant and inapplicable questions that have little or nothing to do with the issue at hand! Dude, by the very nature and purpose of any secessionist organisation, they’re not part of the status-quo…not part of the establishment, and so cannot seek relief of their grievances and demands under any ‘due process’ thrown up by the very same structure they seek to upturn! Even a kindergarten kid would appreciate this!
Pray tell, under what ‘due process’ were the Niger-Delta militants engaged with by the gov’t of the day, and are still being engaged with by subsequent gov’ts even to the point of some of their leaders being given multi-billion naira contracts!? Pray, did the populace of the Niger-Delta give said militants their ‘mandate’ before the federal gov’t engaged with them!? An engagement of which subsequently led to relative peace in the region!
Another example of individuals or groups that acted without the so called ‘mandate of the people’ were the military! Whose mandate did they seek before seizing power and effecting changes to the structure of the country and policies of gov’t….changes which were adopted and are still in effect to this day!?
You talk of mandate as if the average discerning Nigerian doesn’t know the dubious nature of mandates in your country! Heck, even your Tinubu claims to have a ‘mandate’….and a host of ‘certificates’ to boot, so what are we talking about here!?
‘IPOB don’t have the mandate of the people of Eastern Nigeria’ as you posit, so on what basis did the south-east governors engage with the groups leader few years ago!?
In one breath you accuse IPOB of ‘not following due process’, or whatever you term it…..and in another breath you talk of referendum not being in your Fulani/military constitution of Nigeria! You see how your arguments are all over the place and incoherent!?
Your evil hegemonic gov’t would much rather send their murderous soldiers to the east to kill and intimidate innocent agitators and others, then turn around and claim and feign ignorance about what IPOB is agitating for!
You’re yet to tell us of at least TWO ‘terrorist’ attacks carried out by IPOB before they were tagged as such….attacks which they proudly claimed with their full chest as terrorist organisations usually do! Tell us, since you choose to go along with the lie the Buhari gov’t put out there that IPOB are ‘terrorists’!
Secessionist movement are not always ragtags and outlaws like ipob, for example there are separatist political parties in Scotland,Northern Ireland,Catalonia Spain etc...who are the ruling parties in their regional government these are legitimate elected leadership of the people who have the mandate from the people to champion independent struggle for them. I.POB in this case is an illegitimate proscribed group.They should join politics take over SE region through democratic means then they can legally speak for the people. Even Hamas and Hezbollah realised this and joined politics that is how Hamas took over Gaza from PLO.
The problem with you is that you are comparing banditry and militancy with separatism. While one was fighting for a better treatment or recongnition from federal government the other is fighting for distintegration of Nigeria. How are they the same? In international law and in accordance with UN charter you must be politically in control of the territory in question before you can legally demand for referendum.Does ipob meet this criteria?
ednut1: the British man who divided India and Pakistan . Splitting punjabis into both countries has never crossed england before . Many of the oyinbos who drew maps in africa never visited there and based their decisions on what others told them. Which were not always correct .
Currently the Egun in badagry are happy to classed as Yoruba when they actually came from the old dahomey. If yoruba does civil war for example and become the bad guys. And Egun now comes out to say they are not Yoruba will you say they are lying?
Every one in that ancient Igboland map are Igbo speaking people even till today.
1Alex: I decided to do some research and realized he is the guy.
I checked his profile on Nairaland I discovered he was last seen on the 21st of November 2024.
I checked when he was arrested, I saw the same date. It means he no longer has access to his phone after his arrest that's why he hasn't been seen on Nairaland since then.
Make the f00lish boy rest small.
The person he is impersonating is out of circulation.
IGBOPROMISE1: You that's the 'authority' on struggle for self-determination, how about you show us how it's done by doing going out to do it the 'right way'? Or you own is just to sit in the relative comfort and safety of your home to criticise the efforts of those brave and proactive enough to go out there and face a malevolent and ruthless hegemony hellbent on protecting their entrenched hegemonic interests at any cost?
At the time IPOB called for said election boycott, even i joined in the call for them to rescind their demand, and eventually they capitulated and bowed to the pressure put on them by many Igbo stakeholders and commentators alike (see the link below). https://www.pressreader.com/nigeria/thisday/20190216/281638191473135?srsltid=AfmBOootVDB2znfHyMHBjFWwsbSyWmxqMBehoyt_VaigRjYI38lNFvwz I added the links in my previous post to show you IPOB on many occassions have made the call for a referendum, and it comes as no surprise that the Buhari and Tinubu gov'ts have ignored not just the referendum call, but have equally REFUSED to engage with IPOB on any other issue or at any level! This APC gov't s cannot pretend not to know of the existence of a secessionist organisation called IPOB and can't pretend not to know what their grievances are, as the same Nigerian state has carried out cold-blooded murder against those they see as being linked to the organisation....they equally took the brazen step of contravening international extradition laws to kidnap the IPOB leader from Kenya! Fact of the matter is, the Buhari and Tinubu gov'ts have ZERO intention and ZERO interest in engaging with IPOB in any way, and their position stands in stark contrast to how the last PDP gov'ts engaged with another set of gun-wielding agitators, the Niger-Delta militants, and how this engagement brought relative peace to the region. As shown in my last post, even the effort made by the south-east governors to act as a interlocutor between IPOB and the federal gov't was rebuffed by Buhari, and i can only assume they (the APC gov't) see the Igbo as '2nd class citizens' and it would be beneath them to be seen engaging with such 'lowly serfs'!
Guy you still do not get it,you are just good at writing long epistle without much value. The question is...Is ipob following due process in demanding for referendum? Do they have the mandate to ask for referendun or speak on behalf the people of old Eastern region? Do ipob realise that referendum is not even in Nigeria constitution? Give me simple answers to my question and make it as brief as possible.
kedeojo: Igbos don't learn, the day Obi accept to run as vice to Atiku, that will be the end of his political career and he will go to onitsha school as teacher he promised. South west and south south will vote mostly for Tinubu and Tinubu will get northern Christian support. Why did the guy not say there will be christain christain ticket since they don't need Muslim Muslim ticket. I pity you people cos in 2031, you people will understand the political miscalculation you did in 2027. South south will just collect the vice presidential slot of Apc.
Guy pity yourself and your hungry family first. How is it your business whether your opponent political career ends or not? Last election in 2023 you all mocked Peter Obi that can't even win a single state he ended up defeating Jagaban in Lagos state. So keep quiet with your vodoo analysis.
kanupapilo: A drunk mind speaks sober thoughts and acts on sober feelings. When Victor Osimhen abused Victor Ikpeba and was joined by Asisat Oshoala to abuse the Super Eagles legend by calling him "Werey" and "Agbaya" I am sure you would have also attributed it to alcohol.
Well I am not here to make excuses for him either drunk or sober na him cross to carry.
When did one man crime become the burden of a whole region that a regional body have to travel to Abuja to tender apology? The EFCC operative was kpaid under self defence of the assailant thinking he was an armed robber it was not a premediated murder.
Zulu11zulu: If Nigeria don't change the way they treat the igbo,s they will never get peace, wee can never accept to a second hand citizens in our country ndi igbo is too big fo4 that.
If you like continue to gang up against igbo na you go tire because another Simon will soon come out.
I hope the second ekperima will have sense unlike the first one?
Zelensky does not want a negotiated settlement he wants the war to continue even though they are losing on daily basis but out of selfishness he to continue fighting because once the war stops that is his end politically so he wants to remain in office as long as the war last.
These are just a few links to help answer your deceitful question on the call for referendum and IPOB/Kanu! But assuming there were no links available to corroborate my claim, does it mean that a so called president, that Buhari claimed he was, would repeatedly have his Fulani army go out to mow down innocent agitators and youth, resulting in tens if not hundreds of deaths, yet still be unperturbed and unconcerned as to what the grievances are these agitators and youths are!? This shows a level of despotisim and wickedness that begs the question of whether that man actually is a Nigerian and sees the Igbo as human beings and his equal in Nigeria!
You do ask annoying time wasting and diversionary questions most if not all of the time! Dude, are you talking of 'submitting petition' to the same Nigerian gov't that murdered innocent Biafran/Igbo agitators and youth in cold blood, then went on to hastily tag IPOB as 'terrorists' just to have a 'defence' for their bloodied actions!? As we speak, you are still struggling to find even ONE 'terrorist' act carried out by the IPOB you so gleefully and readily accept are 'terrorists', but you're prepared to accept the jaundiced assessment of someone who tagged 'your people' as a 'dot in a circle', then went on to marginalise and cheat them throughout his unfortunate two terms! Your talk of 'submitting petition' is just you clutching at straws, as you're desperately looking for something to hinge your non-existent argument on! So tell me, assuming IPOB were stupid and naive enough to walk up to your gov't and submit a petition for referendum, what next? Talk me through what would happen next after submitting said petition! Need i remind you we're talking of the same malevolent and evil federal gov't (Buhari and Tinubu gov'ts) that chose to ignore the outcome of a meeting Mazi Kanu held with the south-east governors of the time, the outcome of which, if implemented, had the potential to end the secessionist agitation!? Find out what Buharis' reaction was to the meeting before advising anyone to waste their time entering okada and heading to Aso Rock petition!
Dude, Mazi Kanu is NOT forcing anyone to grant IPOB a referendum, and so that your other daft question of 'if they're using armed struggle' is a redundant one! Hope you're not referring to the formation of ESN by IPOB as your 'smoking gun proof' that IPOB are using arms to try and force the hand of your despotic gov't!? We've gone over, countless number of times, the reason why ESN was formed, but if you want me to remind you again i can oblige!
Only a deceitful Igbo hater will want to believe that the cowardly and murderous federal side 'outgunned and out manned the brave and resilient Biafran army into surrender'! Dude, the Biafran army was the better and braver side who so triumphed on the battlefield to the extent that your federal side now had to resort to economic and food blockade that targeted non-combatants (Awolowo claimed that was his idea) in order to get the Biafran side to surrender! The Nigerian side were no match for their Biafran adversaries on the battlefield so they had to resort to war crimes out of frustration and desperation. It was reported the Nigerian side lost more soldiers on the battlefield than the Biafrans did, and this led to the war crimes of Egyptian pilots strafing both military and civilian targets; economic and food blockade; Asaba massacre; shooting at anything that moves à la Benjamin Adekunle; and heaven knows what else....all targeting civilians as well as soldiers! So does what i just narrated sound like the Biafran army was 'outgunned and outmanned into surrender'!?
You're full of deceit and think you can twist ones position to suit your false narrative! At no point did i declare 'Mazi Kanu can restore Biafra'! You can't point to anywhere i stated this because it doesn't exist! My support for his efforts is based on my belief in freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, and the rights of indigenous peoples to be independent and to choose whether or not they want to live with murderous and wicked 'compatriots'! Would i like Mazi Kanu to succeed in his bid? Sure i would! But the line 'Mazi Kanu can restore Biafra' are your words not mine!
The link you provided is evidence you knows nothing about struggle for self determination.So any iddiot can come out and demand no referendum no election in a sovereign nation like Nigeria? Is ipob a political party?Are they stakeholders in Nigeria election to warrant them to call for boycott? Only political parties can call for boycott of an election not a proscribed group like ipob who never participated in any election any wonder their so called call for election boycott always flop.
It is all about him nothing more.Do not start what you can not finish that is common sense. Why fight if you are not sure of victory?The cost of defeat is brutal and costly that is why wise men choose their battles carefully..
