Its not news that the FG brought an ammended seven count charge against IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. However, it turns out that one of the charges is not even a crime. The charge reads:

That you Nnamdi Kanu, male, adult, of Afaraukwu Ibeku, Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia Stale on the 16th of May, 2021, in London, United Kingdom within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did commit an act in furtherance of an act of terrorism by making a broadcast that “In 2 weeks’ time, what will happen will shake the world, people will die, the whole world will stand still, mark my word” and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 1 (2) (b) of the Terrorism Prevention Amendment Act, 2013.

That Nnamdi Kanu said that in two weeks time, people will die? People die every day. How can it be a crime to say that people will die in the future? It is a statement of fact.

How is this charge a crime?

The court will have to decide if it's a crime or not.

Veryfoolishboy:
Omo just like that 3 bread winner of 3 families are gone
If you are among those hailing Nnamdi Kanu and his foot soldiers, know that you will also reap from whatever evil they sow. No matter how long.

Gidgiddy, Eastlink , Asgward73 and other IPOB members Will claim that it DSS killed these 3 police men just to give UGM/ESN a bad name.

Yes, Osun, Ekiti ,Edo and Akwa-Ibom States

ezenwajosh:
Have you seen Lagos from 25-7 January?

Just dead this propaganda. Dec 25-Jan 07 happens everywhere and it has nothing to do with Igbo but rather a period of Yuletide when many people travel home to spend time with their families and many companies close down (on holiday).

From 1967-1970 when Igbos left for Igboland, Lagos economy was thriving.

The Talibans like most other 'revolutionaires' have no training and experience in the art of governance, especially in rebuilding a resource poor country like Afghanistan.

Propagating religious ideologies on it's own can't solve any problem in the 21st century.

ScamHunter:
No worries....There would be no need for Igbo to do that so that the Yoruba start singing Yoruba Ronu, Igbo is destroying Lagos. This time, the Yoruba would do it by crippling SW economy through a sit-at-home. After all Wakillyu Isikillyou, the Fulani warlord and one-man army that torments Yorubaland has been freed from prison. Naturally, when the new wave of exodus to Republique La Benin commences, there would be no need for Yoruba to start chanting Southern Unity again. Since IPOB has taught you people what sit-at-home is and is capable of doing - tormenting enemies of Biafra like you, you lot would just copy it and ground Lagos and Yorubaland before the IDPS become too much in Republique La Benin. That is more action than begging for southern unity again.

You are giving answers for questions that weren't asked.


The post is NOT about Yorubas or their problems but about how IPOB can actualize Biafra by crippling the economy they control.

Staypositive:
Ma gee
It is well....


That is Imposible Buhari won't give Igbo man presidency that's what the BMC here on nairaland are saying....

I wonder why some BMC no get sense... For there aboki mind they think igbos need president, na only our policticians needs president....

So the North can continue with there president of a thing, igbo man no care...

All we want is BIAFRA... We are getting close to our new nation...

I can see a new Nation called BIAFRA...

I'm not a false prophet...
But this I have seen...

Jubril Al-Sudani has no right to give presidency to anybody.

Wahalaperson:
I don't really have issues with Obaseki fighting everybody around him from APC to PDP.
What I have problem with it the way the man abandoned governance since first term.
Education sector is rotten since he became a governor, this man has within five years in governance turned education in edo state from primary to tertiary to an eyesore.
Roads are worse, security is worse since 1999, sign anti open grazing bill, NO!!! But he's busy importing northerners to Benin minute of the day.
What manner of man is this? A useless tyrant.

Edo no be Lagos!

googlepikins:
If I escape from a Nigerian prison, there's no fcking way I could be recapture. Especially if you're on a death row

It's not possible., You think all these lazy underpaid officers have your time to be searching for you around this country?

If I hear

They may be recaptured because most of the escaped inmates have to commit more crimes (like stealing clothes to change their prison uniforms or stealing money to spend) immediately after the espcape

The woman in the video is not even Tiwa Savage but her look alike. I think they deliberately labelled it as Tiwa Savage to generate publicity.

shugamummy:
Then Igbos should have the right to seek a nation of their own if they feel they don't belong to where they are not considered eligible to lead. At least let them go and lead themselves to doom if that's their end

Where have I ever say they shouldn't go?


Every part of Nigeria that don't want to be part of this country should be allowed to break away because unity, just like love can NOT be enforced.

Nakedtruths:
Why not use your platform to garner donations and ensure ikonso family get it instead always saying this online, are you not a man, do something

But
1) Ikonso died fighting IPOB's battles.

2) IPOB used the unfortunate death of Ikonso to request for donations to help his wife and son .

3) IPOB embezzled the donations while Ikonso's widow and son are now suffering.

4) Somehow, you are suggesting that OyigboUpdate,a well known and outspoken opponent of IPOB should use his plateform to get another donations for the family left behind by Ikonso.


Think deeply about the error of judgement in your suggestion

Penguin2:

Why is he a fool.


This is democracy and everybody has a right to support whoever they like including the candidate you hate.

onumadu:
Well, like I said, the idea of conquering people and making them pay tax to Islamic caliphate would have failed flat in Igboland (and even their neighbors like Ibibio, Efik, etc,) because those people had already been in contact with the Europeans for hundreds of years along the coasts. They had GUNS and other tools of war. People like Jaja of Opobo for example even had emissaries to Europe.
The Aro were a well organized confederacy controlling slave trade. The Aro for example had a war with the British (The Anglo-Aro war) in 1901-1902.
Like I said, there is a reason the British couldn't exert direct rule over Igboland. They had to institute indirect rule.
The point is that the idea of slave raids into Igboland would not have succeeded without local support (like the Aro cooperation for example). Secondly the idea of forcing Igbo to pay tax was dead on arrival unless you wanted war because paying of tax was traditionally totally alien to Igbo. And of course the idea of being "second class citizen" can only happen within Igbo traditional institutions. Igbo believed that each man was equal to the other. That was what gave rise to the notion that Igbo had no kings.

Read to understand and not from a preformed fixed mind.


1) The Communities that were within the vicinity of Sokoto like Zuru were the ones conquered because they were in the same 'country'. Nothing concern Igboland in the story because by 1804, the Jihardists didn't know that there were any groups called igbos.

2) Outside the Sokoto Caliphate, the Islamic Armies never bordered to convert the pagan communities to Islam. They however raised them for slaves.

3) Real wars were however waged against powerful non-muslim countries that threatened the corporate existence of the Caliphate. These were kingdoms/Empire that share borders with the Caliphate.

Igbo,Ijaw, Efik were very distant tribes and had no contact with the Caliphate because there were hundreds of other tribes intervening between them and the Sokoto Caliphate

Amumaigwe:
You want us to celebrate this murderer who starved 3 million Biafran Children to death? He deserves to be eaten by worms alive. That's my birthday wishes.

God has already celebrated Gen Gowon.


Monuments are named after him in different parts of the country despite the fact that he comes from a minority tribe of about 7,000 peoples.

The Rivers State Gov't recently renamed the LIBRATION Stadium, Port Harcourt as YAKUBU GOWON Stadium,Port Harcourt.

kettykin:
Did he really win a war or starve innocent women and children forcing Biafra to surrender to save lives

'When you go to war but your plans
and strategies for survival depends on the magnanimity and cooperation of your opponents, you may as well say that you are trying to commit mass suicide'

Gen Gowon won the war ,fine and square.



You people never for once hold the Biafran authority responsible for the starvation of women and children while they diverted relief foods to feed their Biafran soldiers.


Ojukwu was a great man but nevertheless a man who like all other mortals made mistakes and had his flaws which you like to overlook.


It is very difficult to see any Biafran who thinks Ojukwu and his Biafran Junta shared part of the Blame for what went wrong.

PROUDIGBO:
It gives them a misplaced sense of importance!

Even i, as recently as a year ago, was all for a Biafran country made up of willing partners from the south-east and parts of the south-south and middlebelt....basically, an all-comers affair! But i’ve since come around to reason like those who advise on having a homogeneous Igbo nation! The only exception would be to have a confederation if say the Akwa-Cross and Opobo/Bonny want to join!

Please help me add Kogi, Benue and Taraba States to Biafra sir.

okigbojihad:
multi-ethnic biafra has long been discarded for info.

yaribanza female pig, u have been pressed since yoloba women were termed too dirty, ugly and undesirable so i completely understand your recent paranoia. but truth be told yoloba women stink of shit pile.

Don't derail the thread by introducing childish tribal slurs.

Asgard73:
Y:M are now satisfied with life .. they’re happy..
Next Na make IGBOHO die.. so their joy will know no bound..

Again some of them can now serve their master up north without fear of disintegration

their plan of Islamization and subtle Jihad is fully oncourse

South is conquered once again

Na Nigeria we Dey

Even the minority Christians up North are specially happy.. will delay the incoming jihad .. that will see the total Islamization of Northern Nigeria .. to an Islamic state

Relax, Atiku is cumming.






Atiku will release and pardon Ohamadike-1.

onumadu:
Exactly.
The question is why were they defeated there rather than in core Northern region?
Methinks that terrain must have played some role in neutralizing their cavalry, seriously undermining their advantages on horseback.
Fighting on foot, they lost, just like in the account from the OP.
Knowing the Fulani, if they had thought that they could succeed at some point in the future, they would have continued trying for years.
They stopped trying because they realized that it would be suicidal for them from Benue onward southwards.
They could have circled Benue and continued south. They did not. Something stopped them, and it wasn't charity.

No, you are getting it wrong.


1) The Islamic Region has been around the North centuries before Uthman Dan Fodio was born.

2) The Jihardists weren't out to convert pagan Communities into Islam, rather they instituted Islamic rule based on the Shari'ah on communities which were already Muslim communities.

However they often raided the pagan communities for slaves because it was unislamic to raid Muslim communities for slaves.

3) Uthman Dan Fodio's son was never killed in the Benue Valley.

4) There were many pagan communities around Sokoto (e.g Zuru Kingdom), the seat of the Caliphate in the 1800s.
These communities were conquered and their citizens were allowed to continue their religions but they had to pay special taxes (Jizya) and accepted the status of inferior second class citizens.

After the advent of British Colonialism, many of these pagans accepted Christianity.

onumadu:
The British did not create the Igbo. Are you out of your mind?
To follow your train of thoughts, Mongo Park also created River Niger, abi?
Because someone came from Europe to map out an area for easier conquest and exploitation does not make that person the creator of the area.
This history wey dem no dey teach for naija skool dey cause real damage o. Na wa o.

If only you try to read deeply enough, you will know that classification of people in this country into tribes as we now know them were introduced by the Biritish colonialist.


Before the advent of British Colonialism, the name was already in existence but wasn't used to refer to the who ethnic group as we know call them.

The British grouped certain people together and classified them as one if they feel they have similar culture, languages and in some cases if they have similar ancestries or already being under the same pre-colonial political authority.

In this ways some ethnic groups became very big by merging several smaller related groups. Later-on, some of these smaller groups rejected these ethnic tags citing one reason or the other why they don't belong to the previously assigned group e.g Manga Vs Kanuri, Isoko Vs Urhobos.

ConqueredWest:
What do you know about geography & history.

Fulani people are not negroes but of Semite origin.

Fulani people are Berbers who are Semites living in North Africa for centuries until the Arab Islamic forces displaced them over 300yrs of constant attack.

Fulanis aren't Berbers but typical West African people who originated from areas around the Senegambia.

Some genetic studies however has shown that Fulani peoples indeed received some genes from areound the Mediterranean Regions which may indicate that some Berber Warriors escaped from North Area (possibly during the 7th century Arab invasion of North Africa) and took refuge in West Africa, breeding with the local women

DOTian:
Fulani has been killing and abusing the Hausas for years, you will be upset if you are a foreigner living amongst them. Remembering my days in the north. Most departments were headed by very haughty and arrogant fulanis, who walk in and out of offices as if they're untouchable. Hausas have to basically keep quiet while they speak. Nothing happens unless they order so. Saw a sariki nearly blind a Hausa boy with his walking stick, simply because he didn't quickly throw himself to the ground like others to greet him. It's intolerable and needs to stop. Fulanis wouldn't have gotten this strong in the center stage to double down on their nefarious activities if not for Obasanjo, who empowered them beyond measure..

How did Obasanjo empowered them?

Princesaha:
Hmmm....the Police are now endangered species in the East. May their souls rest in perfect peace.

Some IPOB members like Fahdiga, giddygiddy, Eastlink etc will always insist that the DSS are the Unknown Gun Men (UGM)

Fejoku:
I thought Raymond Dokpesi is a wise man until now. One can clearly see the block from where he was chipped off. Any way, his statement serves to remind Igbos who still wrongly believe they have a stake in Nigeria to rethink. Those of us who can see far beyond the facade know that there's no future for us in the shithole and will waste no time attempting to belong. Biafra or an Igbo country is our future and will fight for it with my all. If plagues reminiscent of the Egypt of old will have to be visited on Nigeria before she concedes then so be it.

Creating Biafra will require the active participation of the ELECTED representatives of the Biafrans.

You need to mount pressure on your Houses of Assembly to pass motions calling for the creation of Biafra, mount pressure on your Governors and National Assembly members to introduce the matter at the Council of State meeting/ National Assembly plenaries

CYBERSOLDIERSre:
No Muslim is worth trusting at all.

All Muslims will terrorise you at some point no matter the relationship you have with them.

Mark my words: if Nigeria does not divide before 2023, IGBO MUST PRODUCE A PRESIDENT.

But High Chief Raymond Dokpesi is NOT a muslim.

valentineuwakwe:
Raymond Dokpesi, the founder of DAAR Communications, has disclosed how the agitation for Biafra by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has affected the chances of the southeast producing a Nigerian president.

Dokpesi disclosed that some Nigerians believe that Kanu would force a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction to declare Biafra.

He said the IPOB leader may use militant tactics to blackmail and force an Igbo President to declare South East independence.

He stressed that Kanu and IPOB have complicated the agitation of the Southeast to produce a Nigerian president.

Dokpesi, in a statement he issued on Monday, stressed his belief in a united and indivisible Nigeria.

The statement reads partly: “The emergence of IPOB and its influence across the South East has complicated and undermined the agitation for patriotic Nigerians of Igbo extraction to lead this nation as far as the 2023 election is concerned.

“If nobody has told Ohaneze Ndigbo before, the concern today from some other regions is that if Nnamdi Kanu plays the role of Aguiyi Ironsi in leading a militant revolt against constitutional government in the southeast under Igbo presidency, the president will be pressured by his base to facilitate the UN processes for the South East to call for independence from Nigeria.

“Thus an Igbo President may be compromised in protecting the political and geographic boundaries of Nigeria whilst Nigeria remains under the threat of IPOB’s secessionist activities.”

Prior to his rearrest, Kanu had led the agitation for the actualization of Biafra.

While in the United Kingdom, UK, Kanu was pushing for the actualization of Biafra by engaging those he could across the world.

He used Twitter and Radio Biafra more in spreading his Biafra messages across Nigeria and the world.

...They replaced Fulani hate to Igbo hate in 1966 and they are doomed forever . making who isn't ur enemy ur arch-enemy then ur arch-enemy ur friend ..

How Fulani warred against their ancestors years back no one will knew today that middlebelt or Hausa will ever be friend fulanis ever ... Fulanis can play dangerous games how to made children of their enemies remove hateful eyes from them in 1966 ,then made them channel it to the Igbos marvels me till date.

The battles were fought about 200 years ago, long before Igbo tribe was created by the British, so how exactly does igbo comes into this matter?

SisterFire:
History is great , without it how can wisemen know the future
What Lagos cowards don't know is that
" if those who fight for their generation unborn are 1000 they can defeat an army of 10,000 "
Y is it so ,the word passion comes to mind
The 10,000 fighters or invaders aren't passionate to the course but were paid for their wickedness and money can't ignite that passion in u ,
Only those with passion are the few evil old men who send youngmen to their wicked course

,4000 Czech youths defeated roman empire together with their evil leaders 600years ago

What is the relationship of lagos to all these?

Unik3030:
this is just d reality, peter obi is a regional champion n he doesn't have any ally outside south east compared to orji uzor kalu or okorocha.

If igbos should field peter obi na automatic lose

If the PDP genuinely work for him, he may win.
