Mangekyo: [s] They have a connection with Yorubas lol. The king of igbo land is currently serving under the oba of yoruba land. More like a governor. It's a pity I can't post pictures anymore[/s]
Look at your face and tell me if anything connects us and you people? Abeg, go form brothers with people that look like you in Benin Republic and Togo.
This map tells you that Igbos never had any connection with Yorubas and Hausa-Fulani. Their neighbors were Ibibio, Ijaw, Igala, Idoma and Benin (Igodomigodo people with Igbo blood, not the fake Yorubas blood occupying that land that looks and behaves like Yoruba.) Not a coincidence that alll these neighbors make up what is Biafra today.
You will notice no Ikwerre anywhere there, this was all Igboland back then before the afonja and Fulani division began. And for Ibibio, you will notice no Cross River nonsense, these were all Ibibio then. They have divided Ibibio so badly that what was ordinarily a clan in Ibibio like Efik and Annang, were place in Cross River and a huge chunk of Ibibio in Abia as well.
Ahmadu Bello seeked secession for the North to have a country of their own, this was the very first individual in the entire state of Nigeria to call for a separate country. Several years after, the north took up the agenda again and this time it was through Muhammad Yusuf the then leader of Boko Haram who started alongside others who felt betrayed by the current system of governance of the country therefore he alongside others began an agitation for an independent state of the north where their people could live breaking away from those who aren't of Islam whom they consider as infidels, instead of the government looking at the cause of the sudden agitation years after that of the northern regional leader, they because of somewhat uncertainty of how the entire country would take it if they came open in support because this is the average stand of a Muslim seeing all having the same faith as himself so as to not pronounce it open as a northen agenda, they choosed to in the night be a friend and the day an enemy of the then sect.
Years after in the east too, the very issue that that ignited the course for Biafria; ethic division, marginalization and favoritism has not been set aside for a true federation therefore just like Ojukwu felt uncomfortable with the Nepotism of the igbo and the entire people of the Eastern region which prompted Aburi accord which was not honoured for Biafra to come, today we have Nnamdi Kanu taking up the course with others before him.
Yusuf was killed but the ideology has kept ISWAP/BOKO HARAM standing.
Even if they kill Kanu today, will ESN and the poor Biafran youths whom have been fed with the knowledge of neglect in their own country fail to rise again?
During the early years of the military Government of Gowon, the northerners were already occupying key position in the country as part of the northernization agenda, the Ibos from the Eastern Region were not too comfortable with this and the spark came when Gowon was appointed as the Head of state although was the highest ranking officer in the northern region but this wasn't the case as they were more far superior officers than himself in the entire state but there was a distrust and agenda for the someone outside the north to not be in the position of power so Gowon was brought in to manage the affairs of the whole country having all the senior officers, the then leaders of the different region; northern, southern, west, answer to him being victims of the decision which the previous government made by centralizing the government. What since that time if I may ask has changed? Is it the domination of northerners in key positions like the police, navy, army, airforce, presidential offices, the port authority?
NOTE: EVEN WHEN AN EASTERNER WAS IN THE POSITION OF POWER AFTER THE COUP CHOSED TO TRANSFER POWER TO THE MILITARY WHICH HAD A NORTHERNER EMERGE AS THE HEAD OF STATE.
everything about secession which also encouraged the war changed when BOOM! crude oil was found in the Eastern region and Gowon understanding the wealth that could come from it pronounced that the Eastern region seeking secession which was what most people in the east started dreaming of before the emergence of the so called oil was pronounced a treasonable offence, Awolowo, a Nationalist who before now fought for the democracy of the country because of how hungry for power he was accepted to be led so long he was honoured as the highest profiled civilian as at that time by a junior under a military government he opposed instead of seeking secession for the Yorubas.
Today the very sad tales we fought in the past because of crude oil and the very reason both the colonial masters and the north are interested in power today is what we are still fighting and would continue to fight leaving the struggle of a non unified merged entity for our children to battle with if we don't sit down as a people of this country to define what a country should be like, funny enough, history has been taken off from our schools curriculum but is it not quite too elusifying of whom or what is promoting the history of the past in the policies of the government even when we were never part of it?
Today we have come to ask for true democracy but the north is still pointing back to the decisions our fathers made which they can't forgive! Guess who the decision makers are? They & their children are the very people who partook in the decision making of yesterday which they have choosen not to forgive always pointing the fingers to past occurrences.
Today a Yoruba man sees an Ibo man as a betrayer cause of the fragmented hatred they were passed on to through frail history by politicians who sees no one with worth other than themselves, their children, immediate and extended families if need be.
An Akwa Ibom man doesn't find an easterner a brother likewise the Ijaw or the Urogbo man.
Theres is today so much division in the country yet our youths who doesn't dream of tasting a better life have failed to understand that life could be more than this if we dropped all the ethnic sentiments of the past aside and choose to forge for a greater and better future which we would own taking power away from the very people that has led us thus far into division and won't stop at it.
Everyday, I see youths come out to talk politics while referring to history and the what occures in the past without referring to what motives which the politics of our yesterday was introduced instead they aim to be like them, to appear with big agbada while having their fellow countryman hold for them, an umbrella without a moment of thought of leadership is all about or what is expected of his office to do ofwhich the next man close to him could ever live more if presented with open opportunities of equal standard to strive, if the next man can ever have an idea to bring together two entity and make up an innovation putting up his country flag as a sign of honour and gratefulness for opportunities the country has presented him, no! Everyone wants to be honoured, everyone wants to receive special treatment at the banking hall while others are treated with disdain.
the big unanswered question I always ask myself is: WHEN WILL WE POINT TO THE FUTURE? WHEN WILL WE EVER HOLD OUR LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE WHEN WE NOTICE THEIR DECISION DOESN'T POISE BUT A BAD FUTURE FOR US AND OUR CHILDREN? WHEN WILL WE HAVE A DREAM OF OUR A COUNTRY WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE AND LITTLE BY LITTLE START DEMANDING FOR IT?
It is quite becoming an impediment that the walls of the country is only being held by the elites of the society who has all their investment in all nooks and crannies of the country, to them the need for the country to stick together is quite understood but for the poor man in the street of Lagos who wakes up everyday to find himself in a political discourse at a newspaper stand, what do you think would be his reason for the country not to break where everyone would return to their own region and live amongst their own people with common heritage and history?
Would the reason rather be the hope to secure a better healthcare when he is old? Would it be abounded opportunities accorded to his children through better policies of the next government who would take up power after the next elections which would produce someone who could set aside bigotry, tribalism, ethnicity and uses same way he sees a tiv man whom is a Nigeria to see a Yoruba?
Divisive post. I can tell you are a yorubaa because you can't even spell Biafran tribes name correctly, something many yorubas do because you don't know us.
DSS Planning To Stage A Jail Break By ESN And Shoot Nnamdi Kanu In The Process. This is what they are now planning knowing that they have entered one chance, in a very deep trouble and have no grounds in court since the judge will tell them on July 26 citing Extraordinary rendition by a state which is basically kidnapping " Since you kidnapped the defendant, thereby violating all known international and diplomatic laws, then this case is thrown out. If you want this case to be heard , you must return the defendant back to his country of citizenship and follow due process of all known international and diplomatic laws to extradite him back to Nigeria."
IgweOfNnewi: [s]From reliable source, the monkey is eating watery beans in DSS, just the thought of Amara, Amata, Ngozi, Chimamada, chinagoro, nneka and Kenya girls made him so remorseful and mentally unstable[/s].
fozapi: Y[s]ou know the one thing I hate the most in this Life is hypocrisy, I hate it to the core because I am a realist, and no I Don't beat around the Bush and I believe in The golden rule and I ask, Uwazurike said he believes in non-violence but he went ahead to kidnap Kanu and beat and tortured him for 5days and made women pee on him. Come On that is violence
Is Uwazurike only preaching non-violence when it has to do with Fulanis and Biafra? Why can't Uwazurike face Fulanis? Where has non-violence gotten freedom for anyone? Oh please don't Gandhi me, he got that freedom the same way zik and awo did in Nigeria.
I would not respect Uwazurike until he comes out to apologize to Kanu for what he did to him then we can take you seriously on your non-violence stance
We all heard Nnamdi Kanu order his IPOBigots violent cult (gang) to bury Ikonso with 2000 heads. We also heard one arrested IPOB/ESN member confess they had as at that time collected 30 heads for Ikonso’s burial. Nawa ooo.
IPOB are an ABOMINATION and a CURSE. The consequences of this violent cult (gangsters) will fall upon them and their families, and upon their funders and supporters and their children. They are Biafrans, not Ndi Igbo. No real Igbo will support Biafra. Real Igbos support IGBO NATION. [/s]
Afonjas, focus on your Igboho liberating you. Umu ekwensu!
Ludlum: So the FG bought a fendi worth 13million naira for Kanu in order to propagate her propaganda.lols.
Nmandi Kanu must have given buhari and his cabals sleepless night and thought.
That's how far they will go to deceive low IQ Nigerians. After doing that and taking pictures while he was unconscious, they give the pictures to Yorubaa media to do the propaganda. Even Nairaland constantly pushes negative threads on Kanu to front page and positive about Igboho who has not done 1/1000 what Kanu has done. If not for Kanu, who know Igboho or where him get lever talk?
Watch below, Afonjas will accuse me of a being a Northerner or Fulani to distract from their propaganda and blame Fulani/Northerners.
vasel15: [s] I respect what he is doing and no other group after the civil war have paid the highest price like ipob and massob have done but however I must still always disagree with him and support him if he says what is right
I was listening to a show of his questions and answers and you see the reason why I decided to take no sides between kanu, mefor and Uwazurike, because if you are outside that circle you would be able to reason and see clearly
Someone called the show and made a suggestion about doing something musically like fela because fela is the greatest music from the Yoruba nation take it or leave it, fela was and still is a music god, he still lives till today the same man that warned us about Buhari, I call him abamieda, Kanu said he wanted to put it inside a book and not music, Kanu is out of touch with this present generation we no like book and we no get time to ready but music travels faster to our brains, who get time to read book, as we say school na scam, a country where you can become a president with no certificate and you need bsc to work in a bank and at the end of the day take orders from the zero certificate man.
Music is stronger and at the same time. You can turn that music into a book and music lives forever in peoples hearts and mind
You see why I don't like the current structure of ipob, I feel they should have a board and one more person should have a veto, so there can be a balance.
That idea of music should still be implemented and pushed with the might of ipob and Biafrans in general so that even the man In Solomon Island can hear the Biafran voice
Music is a very good idea and must be implemented, the wicked government of Nigeria killed felas mother and eventually killed him, they started unknown soldiers. I ask who sent soldiers to kill felas mother?
As I always say Kanu is the only Igbo now that is applying pressure on the Fulanis, no other Igbo man, so we must support him and at the same time let him know where he is going wrong because we must prevent any other war in Igbo
Ctorch: [s]Be Warned, We've entertained Enough of Your Nuisance-Anambra Elders warn IPOBS
The recent reorganisation of Onitsha-Ado Vigilante Service in the commercial city of Onitsha, Anambra State, has pitched Anambra Elders against leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
A tweet from Kanu’s verified Tweeter handle, on March 21, 2021, had alleged that the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe, revived the vigilance group on the prompting of the Presidency and the Miyetti Allah, to counter the Eastern Security Network (ESN) in the commercial city and its environs.
Reacting to the development, a group under the auspices of Anambra Elders for Equity and Justice has cautioned the IPOB leader. Stating their position in a letter written, on behalf of their behalf, by Ejiofor Okafor, the group condemned the threat from Kanu, warning that Anambra people would hold him responsible should anything untoward happen to the monarch. But the IPOB leader, yesterday, denied the insinuations making rounds that he insulted the Obi of Onitsha, insisting that he has great respect for the monarch and will continue to hold him in high esteem.
According to the elders, Kanu had warned Igwe Achebe not to “allow his office to be used by Fulani supporter of APC terrorists in Aso Rock to foment trouble for ESN around Onitsha and environs; otherwise it will end in tears for him and his local Miyetti Allah-funded vigilante named Onitsha Ado.” They argued that by so doing, he issued a direct threat to “Agbogidi and also the Onitsha Vigilante Service.”
The elders noted that the vigilance group in Onitsha was formed 19 years ago, long before Kanu contemplated his IPOB and ESN, adding that they were worried why he singled out the revered monarch for attack when every community in Igboland operated a vigilance group or security outfit. They also accused Kanu of trying to stifle alternative voices in the region.
The elders then stated in the letter: “We must warn you to desist from further denigrating Agbogidi for we are at a loss understanding why you’re intent on destroying his laudable attempts at safeguarding his domain and we’ll have you know that it is not a worthy Igbo trait to be seen insulting your elders, let alone someone as high and revered as the Obi of Onitsha who is old enough to be your grandfather.
“We know you currently brim with supreme arrogance and an incredible Messiah complex but like that child who pointedly and rightly raised the issue of the king’s unclothedness whilst others applauded his non-existent resplendent robes, you need to be told that if you have any modicum of honesty, you should by now use same Twitter platform to tender an unreserved apology to the Obi of Onitsha and his people for that baseless and unwarranted attack.” However, a statement by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, insisted that Kanu’s comment merely advised the monarch and the security outfit against being used by the Fulani and the powers-that-be to fight the ESN. “IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, never insulted the Obi of Onitsha as being mischievously misconstrued by these dubious characters and traitors in our land,” he stated. “They only want to twist facts for a piece of bread and crumbs from the Caliphate. The fact remains that our Leader, Kanu, has enormous respect for the Obi of Onitsha and holds him in high esteem. “Our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, supports every genuine security outfit set up to protect our land and forest and to secure our mothers, wives and sisters from the incessant rapes and killings by Fulani terrorists. But any security outfit set up to attack ESN cannot be allowed to exist.”
Just call it Igbo or Biafran team. Thank you coach Mike Brown for not bowing to pressure from Nigerian government to quota system team. He was asked to form a team based on Nigerian tribal makeup, meaning allow quota system. Mike Brown said no or he will resign. He said will only pick the best from across the world base on merit or performance, and it happens there were mostly Igbos.
Christistruth00: [s]Kanu has dual Citizenship that they found his British Passport in Kenya doesn’t mean he didn’t use the Nigerian one
Many Nigerians use their Nigerian Passport to enter Nigeria and their British Passport when going back to uk no Visa is needed that way
Kanu Broadcasts denouncing and slandering the British Govt are all over YouTube
They are not too eager to get involved[/s]
I know you are an afonja, when you people write, you write like you have no sense. Kanu renounced his zoo citizenship 8yrs ago, meaning he doesn't have a zoo passport anymore. All he uses is his British passport with level 1 security clearance and israeli residency with clearance as an important Jewish leader.
Yoruba, wetin Igbo people do una for this life? Wetin? Twitter published names of four Nigerians that asked her to ban Nnamdi kanu, all four were Yorubas with verified profiles. Everybody was shocked that Yorubas took it upon themselves to fight Nnamdi kanu when northerners didn't even care. Same Yorubas will tell you all these posts on Nairaland attacking Kanu and IPOB are Fulani but facts show these are Yorubas.
preciousademc3: [s] Kenyan Authorities Continue To Arrest Nigerians of Igbo Descent On Transit At Nairobi Airport – Man Narrates Ordeal July 9, 2021 9News Nigeria
Kenya Airways Social sharing In spite of the recent internationally controversial arrest of the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Kenyan authorities at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport may have continued to arrest every Nigerian known to be of Igbo tribe arriving or transiting at the airport.
According to an unconfirmed viral voice note supposedly made by one of the passengers who happened to be present at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport while transiting there on his way to Lagos, Kenyan airport authorities have continued to arrest Nigerians whom they accuse of being IPOB Igbos.
In the voice note, the passenger explained how four Nigerians on a transit flight were nabbed by the Kenyan airport authorities after they were interrogated and found to be Nigerians of Igbo descent.
The man who did not mention his name said that he witnessed the interference and arrest of the passengers who were on transit in Nairobi while travelling to Nigeria.
Kenya Airport Police He explained that he was travelling from Europe with his European girlfriend and that their flight was on transit in Nairobi, Kenya. He said that while they were all waiting for the boarding of the next flight to Nigeria, some Kenyan airport authorities started checking the passports of some passengers and asking them if they were Igbo. He said that when any one of the passengers were found to be Igbo, the security agents would say that they were IPOB members and then take them away.
Jomo Kenyatta International airport transit hall He further said that the authorities accosted him and demanded to see his passport and that after noticing that he was holding a European country passport, they insisted that he was an Igbo man to which he told them that according to his passport, he was not a Nigerian to start with. The authorities then left him after an intense argument.
The man who was traumatized further explained that at least 4 of the passengers taken away by the Kenyan authorities did not make it flying with them and that he is worried about what would have been their fates.
Look at the illiterate coward clown Afonjas are comparing to Nnamdi Kanu? These afonjas are one of the most tribalistic people on this earth; these people don't like Igboho at all, they are just pretending all to have their own Nnamdi kanu because they don't want Nnamdi kanu getting all the credit and would rather say "Nnamdi kanu and Sunday Igboho." When the whole world knows Nnamdi Knau has been doing this for over 8 yrs now, while Igboho just started last yr....give me a break! That's why they keep attacking and sending negative threads about Nnamdi Kanu to bring him to the level of illiterate Igboho, big clown.
vasel15: We are allies with yorubas now most people doing it are fulanis
They are still mostly yorubas. Twitter published the names of people that reported Kanu to them to ban him, all were Yorubas. If they didn't published their names and accounts dating back as 2015, they will be telling us it's Northerners.
