NaijaMagazineO:
DEAR God, we, Nigerians have started again, the people you gave the mandate to make the black race proud.

We have all forgotten, so quickly.

Every man now speaks of tribe and tongue, of kith and kin forgetting that true brotherhood knows no tribe, tongue, kith or kin.

Men, like hungry vermins, are calling for blood, fangs out, we cannot have enough of violence and destruction.

The level of hate and distrust is unbelievable.

Friends, former classmates and colleagues have become strange bedfellows.

Many are calling for 'war' seated in lands of 'peace' thousands of kilometres away.

Instructively, the colour of poverty, want and lack is the same in the North, South, East and West, but we refuse to use the brain so freely given.

Let affliction not arise a second time in this country given as a gift to the black race.

Help us understand that life is short, too short to seek that which divides than binds.

Help my countrymen understand that power belongs to you, and you give it to whom you wish.

Help my countrymen understand that those that oppress us speak the same language irrespective of their perceived differences.

How do we know that our oppressors have dual citizenships and permanent residences of far-away lands?

Give us understanding.

Break the barriers of ethnicity, tribe and religion.

Do not allow us to self-destruct.

If we must not live as one, we must not shed a drop of blood for it.

Have mercy on Nigeria.

Deliver Nigeria from herself, o Lord.

What is all this crap. This copy and paste news is what we are being disturbed with this morning? Do u read the news at all? Guess your propaganda and lies can't take u far this time. The military have left the streets of abia and are in their cantonment. And please can you define what genocide is? Cos it's seems you don't know the meaning

Kennyprince:
Don't mind the Igbo's, let them continue their folly unabated. we are busy enjoying Nigeria and we shall surely reach the Nigeria of our dreams.

This country is bigger than the mere Igbo man

Busch:


are you the one confirming it for Igbos
That's the same way IPOB members claimed that soldiers tried killing KANU and then the military denied it.. look boy, you chose to believe who you want to believe.

Busch:


what is this one saying, where's the link to prove your story, you are one of those who follow blindingly. Are you there witnessing it. so you believe the excerpt from the FG.
that means you also believed it when they said they wiped out boko-haram totally.
No prove has been given, except words and words can be over exaggerated.

The Federal Government has warned the International Community against interfering in Nigeria ‘s internal problem. This warning follows the ongoing battle by the government to flush out the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) from the South East

Busch:
This IPOB people should let people actually understand things here, am not even sure if people are truly dying anymore, because they'll claim it, the army will denounce it. I believe they are trying to play the victim in order to get what they want, but that's not how things work. you can't just hold a flag with the sun and yell the name of an inexistent country and think it will just happen.

NothingDoMe:
OK.

IGBO Activists under the
auspices of “Igbo Civil Society
Coalition (ICSCO) on Saturday
met in Enugu and faulted the
Federal Government for
branding members of Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) as terrorists.

In a communiqué signed by the
National Coordinator of the
coalition groups, Professor Obasi
Igwe and the Convener, Mazi
Ikechukwu Bismarck Oji, the
human rights activists stated, “The ICSCO fully recognizes and
respects everyone’s right to
peaceful self-determination in
line with extant international
laws.

According to them, “the
declaration of an unarmed and
nonviolent group as a terrorist
organization is an afterthought
whose basic intention is to
shield those committing genocide and ethnic cleansing
against Ndigbo from
prosecution at the International
Criminal Court (ICC) and divert
attention from the bad
governance and attempts to truncate the democratic process
in Nigeria”

The Communiqué further read in
parts: “The ICSCO totally
condemns the use of state
terrorism to create a unilateral
state of war in Igbo land and
intimidate, gag and silence the Igbo nation from self-expression
in Nigeria.

‘That the purported
proscription of IPOB by South
East Governors, aside being
illegal, is against the
fundamental human rights of
the group.

“Terrorism is a premeditated
armed attack on non-belligerent
targets and neither Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu, IPOB or any other Pro-
Biafran group has done this or
procured arms to do so. Contrarily, it is the Fulani
herdsmen, who have been a
bloody war against farmers and
communities that should be
appropriately so labelled and
tackled decisively more so since they are ranked 4th on the
Global Terror Index (GTI).

“We note that most of the
Commanders currently
executing the “Operation
Python Dance”, and who have
been accused of committing acts
of torture, murder and genocide in Aba, Umuahia and other parts
of Igboland came from a single
tribal/ religious group long
accused of using the “The
Nigerian Army” to pursue their
ethnic, religious and sectional objectives.

“The case against Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu is already in court and
jumping the legal process to use
extra judicial means to deal with
any section of Nigeria while
looking the other way at terrorist and ethnic cleansing
programmes being committed
against various Nigerians must
remain condemned before the
Nigerian constitution,
international law and various conventions to which Nigeria is
signatory.

“The ICSCO formally brings to
the notice of the National
Assembly and the international
community, the unprovoked
and unwarranted genocide and
ethnic cleansing being levelled against Ndigbo and urge them
to compel the immediate
withdrawal of the Army from
Igbo land and bring to speedy
justice those responsible for the
murder, torture and killing of unarmed Igbo civilians.

“We continue to appeal to
members of IPOB to keep calm
and not to take the law into
their own hands. Rather, they
should endeavour to record and
document all acts of torture, murder and other crimes
against humanity perpetrated
by the military against their
members for purposes of
seeking legal redress.

“Similarly, in the face of the
current development, we call on
Ndigbo to remain peaceful,
vigilant, patient and go about
their businesses in a lawful
manner.

Kelechi Mbamnozie, an Igbo who works with the UN writes from New York
Nnamdi Kanu, the acclaimed leader of IPOB was not supposed to be in any hiding, never.
The fact that he is not operating openly now tells you all something, he is on the wrong side of this agitation again. The struggle for self-determination even if possible, transcends beyond an individual.
Kanu was advised to rally around the traditional and political leaders of the South. As an Igbo man, I was thought honor, respect, love, self-giving, and honesty by my parents and the community where I grew up. You cannot bring a fight inside the house, if you do, such a person is considered a fool.
When Kanu was released, he enjoyed the encomiums of the majority of Nigerians who saw the Federal Governments lawless detention as evil and unconstitutional because he never committed any crime to be locked up for 2 yrs. He was hosted by Senators and Governors, his father's house became a Mecca of sought, he enjoyed the people's patronage.
Not until the butterfly started thinking himself a bird, the self-aggrandizement overwhelmed him so much that he declared: "there would not be any election in Anambra" and his reasons? Because Kanu said so. He brought the battle into his home. He started receiving Genuflection as a tiny god he approved himself of, and even Senator Abaribe who was among the people that signed his bail surety couldn't speak reason into his skull, he spoke to him, Eastern Governors and some traditional rulers spoke to him, he was too pompous to apply wisdom, humility, and honor, but he wants others to accord him the same.
Now, all those people who would have stood behind him are doubtful of his intentions, so they stayed clear of him. Now, that they have started chasing him, where will he run into? "Lack of wisdom"
Now, this is his SIN. The moment he commissioned the local army on record, posted it out on social media and spoke openly at a rally about the need to have the Biafra Secret Force, he failed from grace, he not only entered into the nest orchestrated by the Nigeria State, he ignited the article in the Constitution of Nigeria that prohibits anyone from organizing an army against the sovereignty, whether you like it or not, Nigeria is a sovereignty, Biafra is not and was never so it is not even a conquered territory.
We reached out to Kanu, advised him to be cautious and apply wisdom, he never listened, he cursed everyone who disagreed with him, we are all "Efulefu". he cut off his communication channel with those who would have helped.
Instead of calling for the boycott of Anambra Election, even when you are not from Anambra, you could have channeled that energy to become a political force in the East, compel your followers to come out in masse and vote in the election and ensure that they elect a credible non-corrupt Governor and House Assemblies knowing that every power and politics is local, you would have scored a gigantic political WIN right there and the Federal Government will start taking you seriously.
You ensure that the same thing in Anambra is replicated it in all the South Eastern and the South Southern States, unseat all these criminal Senators, House members, Governors and let us have our own devoted people represent us for once, NO, Nnamdi was so arrogant that he forgot his culture.
Anambra of all places, the home of Azikiwe, where we have the timbers and calibers of the East, they saw his afront as an insult, just there alone, Kanu diminished his patronage among Eastern Elders who would have been his backbone. (Elders stays at watch as they send the young to battle).
In the course of my career, I have seen deaths, people who died in the face of war and the earth refused to bury them, their carcas decaying that even vultures were so full that they could not feed anymore. I have seen men, real men, rebels in the face of war, their skulls shattered, their bones and legs ripped off, some bled to their death, but among all, there is nothi

RoyalUc:


Guy, your grammer is too much for me abeg...

RoyalUc:


It is just as he said. His eyes are now open. He never denied being sympathetic to IPOB and NK.

But I am glad you dug up his previous post here. This is what I have being warning people against. Though this might be a faceless forum, but we must be careful what we post. We never know where we might be tomorrow and things like these be dug up against us.

I am happy he knows better now. I believe he's changed.

It's now up to you to learn from this. Even NK can apologise to the Nation and seek pardon.

YourTerror:
Nigeria has not lost Igbos and will never loose Igbos.

Buhari is just a bastardd and will remain so.

Igbos are a good investor in the Nigerian project and we can't give it up even for the world.

YourTerror post=60073949:
This Tony Nwoye is a known cultist and an armed robber. His brother is a hit man in Eiye cult group and has too much blood in his hands.

Let's not also forget that he is being sponsored by the one and only criminal godfather of Anambra state called Arthur Eze.

Anambra state is too advanced to have such charlatans in power.

YourTerror:
God bless you. When the time comes, we will be wiping Nigeria 30-0!

We are not one with this people and can never be one with them.

God bless Nnamdi Kanu for resurrecting in every Igbo Man the long forgotten "Biafran Spirit!

YourTerror:
You know if I tell some foolish Igbos who still support Nigeria that these people hate us, it will be like am an extremist. I tell them that these people allow you in their places not because they love you guys but because they know what they are gaining from you people.

Now take your time and go through the speech delivered by Hoe-nochie on Nnamdi Kanu. Do you really think it was about Nnamdi Kanu alone? No! Let me bring out an excerpt and snippet from her speech to proove my point;

"The truth is that most of Kanu’s followers are touts, hooligans and hoodlums. They also grew up in the dingy Onitsha and Aba markets, breathing recycled oxygen and with NO formal education at all."


Did you people notice how she indirectly insulted Onitsha and Aba people by saying that the residents breathe in recycled Oxygen? The last time I checked, not every Igbo man living in Aba or Onitsha is part of IPOB. Just think deep. This is not a matter of Nnamdi Kanu's followers. This is a matter of how a Presidential media aide perceives the indigenes of Onitsha and Aba! Is this not hate speech?

This people hate Igbo people. They are just hiding behind IPOB to unleash their hatred!

Please lets bring this to the attention of the whole world and the presidency!

YourTerror:
I know this will come as a suprise but I will not support the breakup of Nigeria again. After taking my time to go through stories on both sides, I have come to the conclusion that;

mpowa:

What is spirit are you even talking about? Spirit full of hatred. That's an evil spirit. You guys should use your energies to more purposeful course. And if you must do Biafra, submit your requests to your leaders and representatives.

Factual Statistics About Nigeria Land Mass.

From the attached data, Nigeria's total land area is 924,662 Sq. Km. Although Wikipedia says it is 923,768. The 894 difference or margin of error is insignificant and negligible. All my calculations and analysis are based on 924,662.

and who are the people? Biafrans I guess. Check again there was never a people called Biafrans.

The same people who killed millions of you in the 60s now have developed a conscience was your plan? The goat said okay let us go and explain the benefits of a vegetarian diet to the lion he is a reasonable guy..........Part of your plan was to burn your bridges completely with Yoruba folk too.Genius!!
The plan was to taunt the soldiers Shoot Shoot Shoot with the hope that the US will see it and commence air strikes

You folk should stick to buying ,selling and urban development. You have no head for politics.

Amhappy:


And that alone is fatal to the Igbo race. And that's why we are saying no. My dad fought the first civil war and i don't want to fight the same war all over again.

Amhappy:


The Nigeria govt does not care about unity if reasonable Oil(ego) is not involved. That's the aim of this post in the first place. The struggle would have been easier if the minorities that we are not even sure that they want Biafra were not involved. I live an Ikwerre community but I tell you that I don't know the stand on Biafra. Their talk is not straight. All Buhari FG want is to destroy Igboland. Take us back in time. Do you know they blame us for Bokoharam? They want us to suffer the pain and starvation of war just like Northeast.

IPOB was non violent till their members started killing Hausa in Aba and Oyibo. That changes everything. The decision has been taken even before the meeting in Germany. And once blood is shed,there's no going back. Even Nnamdi cannot control every member now. What he would have done was to deny those members and stated that they are no IPOB.

Amhappy:

Nwoke m shift,your sarcasm is unnecessary. We are talking about strategies. I thought you will give me a sound lecture on IPOB strategy. You do not hate the Nigeria govt more than I do nor do you believe in the Biafra course more than me. But the truth remains that IPOB has no strategy or let me rather say that their strategy is directionless. Nigeria govt is more interested in destroying the Southeast than in the unity you think. The area they cherish to protect is Niger delta (Oilly).

And we Igbos have everything to lose if war starts in our region.

Maduawuchukwu:


What Ndigbo should do now is to condemn Nnamdi Kanu unanimously. How is his agitation in our interest? Did he consult Igbo people before he started his madness?

Amhappy:


IPOB have no plan. They told us Nnamdi Kanu being arrested was a plan but hell no it wasn't. He was in jail for so long. They told us a non-violent struggle was the plan but could not hold it together under military intimidation.

I think the plan of the Nigeria government is what has worked in this last days. Push them to their limits,let them pick up arms and be treated like terrorist.

And let me tell you their next plan

Full show of military strength.
Destroy/Level Southeast (make it like Northeast)
Put their people in IDPs
Take Igbos 58yrs back to hunger and suffering
Let them remain a nobody

Strategy is lacking in IPOB.

BlackMbakara1:
Sorry they brought this on themselves which the innocent will die as no country will tolerate their approach.
