So OP has not been seeing all the lies of Lai Mohammed and APC People to debunk? |
ijustdey:Soldiers went to pick politicians up for Ward Congress. Ridiculous. Anyway, these southern politicians waiting ione Nigeria - mugus. |
Onaiyekan to FG: You’re wrong on Nnamdi Kanu, Igboho ■ Archbishop Emeritus says government’s accusation against Biafra, Yoruba secessionist agitators can’t be compared with Boko Haram, bandits, Fulani herdsmen havoc ■ Claims large number of Nigerians do not see Kanu, Igboho as criminals 1st August 2021 in Cover, Features From Aidoghie Paulinus, Abuja The Archbishop Emeritus of the Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has told the Federal Government that the duo of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho, have a justifiable case as far as their calls for secession are concerned. Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was brought back to the country by the government in continuation of his trial, while Igboho who is leading the call for the secessionist agitation of the Yoruba nation, is currently undergoing trial in the Republic of Benin after he was arrested in the country while trying to flee to Germany. But speaking with Sunday Sun in his Domus Pacis, Abuja residence, Onaiyekan, a former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), said that the government’s accusation against Igboho and Kanu can hardly be compared to what the country has been suffering from the activities of Boko Haram, bandits, and Fulani herdsmen that are destabilising the security of the nation. Onaiyekan maintained that the large number of Nigerians do not see the Biafra and Yoruba secessionist agitators as criminals, saying it is up to the National Assembly to kick-start impeachment moves against President Muhammadu Buhari. Your Eminence, the nation is awash with the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, and Sunday Igboho, who is also on trial in Benin Republic. What do you make of these two scenarios? Well, it is good you have put the two together – Sunday Igboho, who claims to be fighting for the defence, liberation of the Yoruba people against clear enemies, those whom he says have been harassing Yoruba people in the famous herdsmen-farmers killing, raping. And that complaint has been going on, not only in Yoruba land, but also very strongly felt in Southern Kaduna, in Plateau, in Benue and to some extent, even in our Kogi State. Although our people are not making as much noise, but I do know that my people complain that they can no longer go to farm. So, it is a general crisis. We are hearing, of course, even in the far North, the same problem. At least, in the Northeast, we already knew the exploits of Boko Haram. People have almost forgotten how to farm there, probably taken for granted now that nothing will happen there. But worst still is Northwest and North-central, places that are really farmlands, farming peoples, who are now unable to. So, you could say that what is happening in Yoruba land is not only a problem of the Yoruba people. It is a national problem. But somebody has taken it up on that level. You can say the same thing too with Kanu and his reference to Biafra. He was not the first to invoke the memories of the ideals and ideas of an independent country outside of Nigeria, secession, which led to a civil war then. Before him, there was MASSOB and after him, there is this IPOB. One could say that just as the herder-farmers problem is a national issue which Igboho has taken up very, very strongly in respect of his own people, so also, the things that Kanu, IPOB and before him, MASSOB are all complaining about, was a Nigeria that is not working well for them. But the issue is that the problem they are complaining about is also a national problem. There are few Nigerians who feel that the country is doing very well the way it is. Maybe there are some people, maybe especially now, those who are having a good time and who think the country has never been as good as they have been under Buhari because Buhari is treating them very, very well. But anybody looking at the situation in Nigeria dispassionately in terms of security, in terms of employment, in terms of economic development and so on, will all agree that we have a problem. So, what I am trying to say is that IPOB, Kanu or anybody else, they really have a case, a case we can say that what we are now having as Nigeria, they can find it no longer acceptable. Now, if you don’t find Nigeria as it is acceptable, you have two options, either sit here and fight and make it acceptable or decide that you want to opt out. Both Igboho and Kanu are saying they want to opt out. Our government should know that these people are not seen as criminals by a large number of Nigerians. And here, the ethnic aspect comes in. Kanu and co claim to be fighting for the rights of the Igbo people. We are not sure where the boundaries of these Igbo people are, which is one of the major problems. But still, there are a good number of Igbo people, especially many young Igbo, who see in Kanu, a visionary with a clear agenda. And there are two categories of Igbo that show very much interest and agreement with Kanu, a lot of young elements like Kanu himself who did not see the civil war, who did not see the first, original Biafra. Also, is the fact that Kanu made a lot of impact in the Diaspora. And there is a large Igbo Diaspora, not only Diaspora within Nigeria, that is Igbo living outside of Igbo land all over Nigeria and who resonate with Kanu’s idea, rhetoric that the Igbo man is not getting his proper due and right in Nigeria and that they have given up on Nigeria. In the case of Kanu, the leaders, elders of Igbo land, we have not seen them massively supporting Kanu. We are waiting. Here, when you look at Igboho’s case, there is a kind of linkage, it seems, between Igboho and the Afenifere and the elders there, even as far as the major traditional rulers in many places and now, even the governors are asking questions. So, when we look at these two and then, we look at the other problems of Nigeria, look at Boko Haram and the havoc they have caused and look at the other kinds of attack on the security of Nigeria from other groups in the North, some call them bandits, some call them Fulani herdsmen or terrorists. The only difference is that in the North, apart from Boko Haram that has a clear form of identity with leaders that change so often (and right now, we don’t know who their leader is), but for the group called bandits, we don’t see any leadership. And the Fulani herdsmen, the position of the Miyetti Allah is still not so clear. Whatever we say, many tend to want to agree with other Nigerians that whatever you might accuse Igboho and Kanu of doing against Nigeria, is hardly to be compared to what Nigeria has been suffering from these other elements that are destabilising the security of the nation. This is only looking at the things at the surface and the issue then becomes, where is government in all of this? It will appear that in respect of IPOB and Igboho, the government has acted in the way we expect government to act vigorously, decisively and so on. And the same government, we don’t see acting in the same way in respect of others we are talking about. That they cannot, they are doing their best, is not enough, which is what makes the thing very, very sad. These two, it is all destabilising the coherence of the nation. That Nigeria has a problem is one thing; but the biggest problem Nigeria can have is when we cannot join together to face our problem because when we are together, there is no problem in our hands that we cannot resolve. And I think this is for me, what I believe is the greatest service that the Buhari regime or Buhari himself has caused to this nation, namely, he has taken actions and inactions that have not helped to bring the nation together, but has rather polarised the nation. https://www.sunnewsonline.com/onaiyekan-to-fg-youre-wrong-on-nnamdi-kanu-igboho/

Once PDP chooses a northern presidential candidate, APC dies, because nearly all northern politicians, including President Buhari, shall rally round the PDP Presidential candidate, even if the northern presidential candidate of PDP is an Almajiri. |
Aboks:But he can never unfucck the fucck she fuccked him as well; Femi cannot even recover again any of the many liters of Femi’s white juice that he lost into her.

thesicilian:De there de talk northern Nigeria. Taliban is about to take over the whole of Afghanistan immediately after the US and allied forces started to withdraw after 20 years of fighting against Islamic Taliban in Afghanistan. What Boko Haram is fighting for in Nigeria is exactly like what Taliban is fighting for in Afghanistan - country to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws. Some southern Nigerians mistakenly believe that Sharia criminal laws is only for the sharia states. Referendum on Nigeria - now. No more blood shed in Nigeria. #Blacklives Matter.

LamidiCownu:Tell this to those mouthy persons in the Southsouth who receive pay offs from federal government and say “we in the Southsouth; we are not part of Biafra.” They are are the worse enemies of people in the Southsouth after Arewa. |
Omoluabi1stborn:The oil producing Southsouth is made up of different ethnic groups that can hardly sing in one tune. Each time a few people from there rise for resource control, they are either neutralized by bribery or humiliated out like Alamiesigha and Ibori . Some of them are paid off to sing: we in the ss no be part of Biafra. The singers know full well that Niger Delta Republic is not possible from Nigeria. So they are singing for the status quo to remain. |
cocolacec:When you propose Geo-political zones structure but still have oil and gas proceeds and ports proceeds be shared among the Geo-political zones, the proposal makes no sense. True and FISCAL FEDERALISM with Resource Control or split Nigeria via referendum. |
Doraty1:Politicians from the Middle belt and southern Nigeria are waiting for Fulani to drive their people out of Nigeria. Bauchi state governor just explained the program to bring Fulani from all over Africa to Nigeria for Fulani homeland. Timid southern politicians behave as if Nigeria is a country created to remain one forever. |
MEGA4BILLION:Once Buhari won Saraki in the power tussle, through the 2019 elections, Nigeria started the final march to become a worse basket case. |
supportnija:But Nigeria’s government has been basking on the euphoria of abducting Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya. Double morality standards. |
ManirBK:Nobody is afraid of Tinubu, nobody wants him dead; but what people say is: enough of using the skewed political structure of Nigeria to impose octogenarians to lead Nigeria of majority youthful people. The damage on Nigeria done by octogenarian Muhammadu Buhari is immense. Swearing affidavit to make one younger on paper does not hide the Bio/physical age of the swearer.

Businesslist:Op, is Osun a city? Is Delta a city? Is Anambra a city? Someborry drink kai kai before posting. How the post come make fp? |
Shehuyinka:Because a soldier was injured by what’s suspected as ESN, soldiers sacked thousands of civilians in Ebem Ohafia for two weeks These Nigeria soldiers can’t be described as soldiers in any saner country. Army of occupation is the right definition. |
The Fulani Nigeria soldiers created new IDP camps in Ohafia area. |
Grace001:That’s it. Nigeria is a fake country. Crude oil and gas deposits in the Niger Delta and in rest of the east keep otherwise many countries in one Nigeria. |
Kingsnairaland:But someone sent a Nigeria Zenith Bank account to Abbas Hushpuppy to send money to the policemen who arrested Vincent Chibueze. The man, Abba Kyari did. This is US matter, not another Biafra matter where logic is stood upside down. |
Na today? Gradually, politicians from the south who stick to one Nigeria shall be fed “engine oil soup”by Arewa government in Nigeria. A referendum on Oduduwa and Biafra Republics today shall win huge yes for Oduduwa and Biafra Republics. But the southern politicians pretend that they don’t know what to do about it. |
#BLACKLIVES MATTER. It’s not only about Nnamdi Kanu. It’s more about the inadequacies of dysfunctional Nigeria created by GB. The too many tribes lumped into one Nigeria make the country impossible. Even President Buhari said recently in London that the size and population of Nigeria makes the country difficult to govern. Referendum now to save lives. More than 4 million lives have been cut short by the inadequacies of one Nigeria. |
modsfucker:The old men must quit the scene for younger ones to govern Nigeria, restructure Nigeria politically as they want. |
etokhana:Tinubu in his 80s undergoes surgery in America. |
This weekly sit at home order marks out IPOB’s strategy planers as amateurs. They are now confronting Igbos. If you order closure of shops every Monday, Igbos are the net losers. |
SimplyFacts:IPOB planners are bereft of strategy. How on earth would they have allowed Nnamdi Kanu to go to Kenya - a country known to have a reputation for criminal rendition? You seem to see me as IPOBIAN, abi? Yours sincerely has never attended any IPOB gathering, I have not seen Nnamdi Kanu live, listened only once to his interview with one Western journalist. After listening, all he said about Nigeria and the just struggle for restoration of Biafra were what I already knew. So, I never bothered to listen to him thereafter. |
SUCKCESSFUL:The Tinubus, Fasholas, the Osinbajos, etc, in the south who say Nigeria does not require any more political restructuring are the problems of the southern regions in Nigeria. The North used its military dictators between 1967-1996 to restructure Nigeria politically, supervised a constitution with no plebiscite. The skewed and lopsided political structure and constitution assign near veto power to the north over Nigeria’s political process. The north now asks the southern people asking for political restructuring to come to the NASS to ask for political restructuring, the NASS overflowing with Northern legislators deriving from the excess number of states created in the north. |
BigDick70inch:They think that Britain is ever ready to forcefully keep Nigeria one. They show photos of British PM laughing to Buhari, show off British PM telling Buhari: we are ready to help. |
Because foolish southern politicians allow one Nigeria to continue after northern military dictators wrongly used land mass as criterion to restructure Nigeria, created excess number of states in the old northern region, and in the process assigned overwhelming political power and shared revenue to the north. |
aminulive:“You can’t succeed outside your education qualifications” —— President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, in Great Britain. This is a lie. One can succeed outside one’s education qualifications. British people must be embarrassed by insentient Buhari and his statements. |
aminulive:“THE SIZE AND POPULATION OF NIGERIA IS A BIG CHALLENGE TO ANY ADMINISTRATION” —— President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, in Great Britain, the creator of Nigeria. My people, it’s like President Buhari is truly God-sent to catalyze the dissolution of the most dysfunctional country on earth - Nigeria.

Conrod:Nwabufor must be one of those southern people waiting for political restructuring of Nigeria to take place. They are waiting for Godot. Arewa can’t give in to political restructuring. GB pleaded for years to the EU for reforms. At one point, BREXIT fever caught up most of the British people. GB left after a referendum. But some gullible Nigerians in the south are reading the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria supervised by Arewa soldiers who omitted referendum on the constitution, because the soldiers knew that they had restructured Nigeria politically from which they consigned super political powers to the north. Fact is that the legitimacy of the 1999 constitution which was not subjected to popular referendum, is dubious. Let the separatist zones conduct their respective referendum on continuity or dissolution of the fraudulent country called Nigeria. |
aminulive:In what ballot box? Nigeria’s Election laws stipulate that a presidential candidate must win 25% of votes in 2/3 of 36 states before pronounced winner of Nigeria’s presidential election. 19 states and Abuja were proliferated in northern region by northern soldiers who wrongly used land mass or population as criterion to proliferate too many states (19) in the northern region, allowed only 17 states in the two southern regions that formed independent Nigeria with the northern region. That practically consigned political leadership to northern politicians. No Igbo or Yoruba can win presidential election in Nigeria unless the northern region largely led by Fulani is not interested in supporting a northern presidential candidate. Jonathan and Obasanjo presidencies were merely enhanced because the northern region saw the need. |
Monogamy:If Buhari government had brought Nnamdi Kanu to Nigeria after extradition process in Kenya took its full course, Buhari government would have got a case for resumption of court trial for Kanu. But abducting a person from a foreign country to put the person on trial in your own court means that the Attorney General of Nigeria lacks wisdom. |
