It's clear that Channel is desperately hiding this video from the public. I think everyone needs to see the video. Someone should help to re-upload it to YouTube so it can be synced here. Unable to download on my device.
ImperialYoruba: Mainstream Nigeria must stand up for self preservation against tyranny of the minority with majority rule.
The present incursion of boots, guns and machineries in Igboland is an insult and effrontery to all Southerners.
This is the same tactic of divide and eliminate we have seen with Fulani attacks. They attack Gboko today, Akure, Aba, Benin and Sapele are silent.
They attack Akure next week, Gboko, Aba, Benin and Sapele are quiet.
The week after they attack Oron, people in Asaba, Port Harcourt,Gboko and Akure and Awka keep quiet.
Gradually, fulani, a minority, has systematically enshrined itself as a parallel army and turned every part of Southern and Middlebelt Nigeria to its roaming domain to perpetuate any atrocity it deems fit whenever it suits a political agenda.
If Akure, Benin, Aba, Sapele, Oron, Awka, Asaba had all spoken up and took reprisal action in support of Gboko, fulani would have been trained to accept that Southern Nigeria will not submit to its political agenda and it will be force for force on any assault. But what we did instead is get on newspaper and condemn and warn. Even when the warning and condemnation had no effect, year after year...we still warn and condemn.
So it has come to this. Now Army is in Umuahia, Ibadan, Benin, Port Harcourt, Awka, all are silent.
Tomorrow Army will use the fulani model and move to Ibadan, the rest wil be silent.
After that Army is in Gboko, ...we are all condemning and warning still.
Pretty soon all over South is turned to occupied land. Fulani rulers in Aso will then have a easy path, with the coopt of Army to truly turn all our lands into Fulani grazing zone.
Ten years from now we will still be warning and condemning.
Has there ever been an incidence of any Southern ethnic group causing riot in North and killing people in bloodshed they way they Northerners do in South? Never!
All should rise up and troop to the street and demand immediate expulsion of all Army occupation anywhere in South. We sustain the North. The oil from South and the ports in South, without these the North will be like Chad, poor and wretched.
We are the mainstream. There is no country in world where mainstream is held hostage and battered by the minority voice. Nigerian's case is an exception and a cowardly response.
Shame to South! I do not ever want to hear another Southerner brandish his degree and phd in my face...I will curse him out.
SE is the safest and most peaceful zone in the entire country, according to a UN report. What justification do Buhari and his fans have for bringing in Army to SE?
I asked the self-loather to mention other ethnic groups which have been consistently singled out for significantly state endorsed massacre, hate and demonization in this country since the past 70 years.
Since he remains unable to mention any of such other ethnic groups, I have no time for his arrant idiocy and incoherent rants.
SamzackD: after failing to defeat him with arguments you resort to insults
The fool is the arrogant shill who thinks he is smarter than Dr. John Nwodo. The idiot who cannot read and comprehend but is quick to blame the victim for the wickedness of the oppressor. The animal who has no bearing in life but to hate himself. The spineless goat who sees self-assertive tendencies as treason.
mrvitalis: Very soon the fools that called me non Igbo will see why I said Kanu never meant well for igbos
I just hope it doesn't reach that point
Kanu just want to waste the life of young igbos and run away
I just hope my people see the hand writing on the wall
Youvarevthe one to be pitied by all generations of the earth. The Igbos say they want their own country. So why the heck are you bent on sticking your pathetic life forever with those you loath so much? You guys are seriously sick.
[s]
Zico5: I pity these ignoramous called ipobs. By the time Nigerian army finish with u, then u will know no one is bigger than the government. Even some fools who don't even know what war is all about are calling for it. Give igbo all the country resources, yet they will still not be satisfied. I sincerely pity their generation.
Obi1kenobi: You asked me if I've read Ahmadu Bello's and Akintola's comments before didn't you? Abi you can't comprehend your own posts again?
Ahmadu Bello and Akintola's comments are no more bigoted than you'll hear from Igbos about other fellow Igbos. I schooled in UNN and if I saved one naira every time an Enugu man said something prejudicial or bigoted about Anambra people, I'd have my own private jet by now.
Kanu and his IPOB zombie followers are only a "nemesi"s to themselves. I only pity those that will be led off the cliff by him and his fantasies. And no, I don't endorse the Arewa youths. I reserved even more criticism for them than your charlatan leader. I comment on IPOB zombies more because they make more noise.
I do not give a hoot what you believe or think. I said, MENTION another tribe. Simple. The fact that you could not do that underscores your hypocricy towards the agitation.
[s]
getukudo: State singled out massacre? But I want to ask, is it only Igbos that are singled out for killings? I believe we have other Christians from the South who were killed in this massacres you have knowledge about. You should state facts and not engage in insulting anybody who doesn't agree with you on Biafra.
You will only see Biafra happen but won't partake of it. [s]
SamzackD: You are just proving my point for me, the whole idea of Biafra sounds tribalistic and only Igbo who can't see beyond their nose would want a country that preaches tribalism,
And I'll say this if you want your Biafra take away tribalism and get a plan that will make you diff from Nigeria if not you guys are DOA.
I did not ask for your falsehoods and vain explanations. I said MENTION other tribes that had been continued to get singled out for state sponsored massacre since the last 70 years.
Justifying Bello's and Akintola's igbo-hating bigotry in your fake ONE Nigeria is typical of folks like you. And that's why you will never be in lack of equal nemesis in the forms of IPOB and Kanu.
I'm sure you also endorse the quit notice issued by Arewa Youths in furtherance of the anti-igbo growth that was institutionalized by Bello whom you so adore.
[s]
Obi1kenobi: Plenty of violence in the North often ropes in any Southerner or even Northern Christians. We're all the same to almajiri, blood-thirsty savages. That is irrelevant to Kanu's cause. Your Biafran paradise wouldn't stop it either because Igbos will remain in the North. 40 million Igbos are not going to pack themselves in a combined SE landmass about the size of Oyo state.
Ahmadu Bello resented the fact Igbos dominated civil service in the Northern region and he sought to reverse that. I saw nothing hateful about his speech. Imo and Abia state sacked each other's non-indigenous workers some years ago. Far back in the 80's, Enugu state sacked Anambra workers en mass. I wasn't born then, but my mum who is from Agulu told me that's how she lost her teaching job in Enugu, so she proceeded to study law in UNN and spent the rest of her career in FIRS.
Whatever grievances you may have with the Nigerian status quo does not justify the abhorrent behaviour and utterances of IPOB. And does absolutely nothing to improve your standing in Nigeria.
If you are Igbo, you can migrate to Zamfara. And if you are not Igbo, you can build a border wall and deny entrance to Biafrans.
What you have zero capacity and zero moral authority to do is to dictate policy or issues for Biafra agitators.
[s]
Obi1kenobi: Nigeria is the armpits of the earth. Your Biafran fantasy would be an even more hellish enclave. The simple economics involved tells me so. I don't deceive myself. So no, I'm not singing "NIGERIA". Nobody with sense boasts about being Nigerian. And yet, with all its flaws, it allows millions of Igbos in every corner of the country to profit from it. You could probably find an Igbo man doing his business in Sambisa forest.
It's interesting you pointing out Kanu is not my problem. I could tell you the Nigerian federation is not your problem when you can't even hold your state governors and local government chairmen and councilors responsible for their incompetence and looting of your resources. You have not tackled all the evident structural and systemics problems with governance in your own region, and yet, you think your Biafran paradise will magically create a change.
Show me other ethnic groups that were massacred (1945 and 1953), threatened and demonized in your silly nation, and are still getting extra-judicially killed on tribal/religious basis since the past 70 years.
Did you ever listen to Bello's and Akintola's pre-civil war rhetoric about Igbos?
Were those caused by IPOB?
I hate talking with shallow and dishonest people who are pompous..
[s]
Obi1kenobi: So, show me other tribes with figure-heads like Kanu who built their massive following off pirate stations and social media broadcasting their crude hate speech and insults. And yes, you're actually correct that Igbos are the most resented tribe in Nigeria, but it's self-fulfilling. Yorubas are an immensely accomplished tribe in Nigeria, but they do not seem to attract the common resentment that Igbos do. Maybe because they spend less time shouting and beating their chests that "everyone hates us because they're jealous of us and we're successful" and they're well integrated in the nation. They have political tact and diplomacy that enables them successfully create alliances and they spend less time deriding and insulting other groups while magically expecting the support of those groups they love to insult. The Niger-Delta groups you're trying to attach yourselves to by force because of their coastlines and their "oyel" don't like Igbos either.
Be good citizens. Respect your host communities. Refrain from throwing playground insults at other Nigerians. Reach out to other groups with tact and diplomacy and find common ground and advance common goals and lobby for your interests.
But whenever you decide to wake up, just know that the mindless igbo-hating madness you see today was already a culture to many PRE-INDEPENDENT people - even before the Internet got invented.
IPOB was not responsible for it. They are merely calling it out, doing something about it and saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. They are not burying their heads in the sand and pretending that the igbophobia is not real.
But, again, you are free to keep playing the ostrich.
[s]
Obi1kenobi: Your election boycott doesn't worry me in the least. You're just wasting your time with that one. My only worry was someone like Andy Uba profiting from the chaos and mobilizing enough of his own base, but I'm happy enough whether Obiano or Oseloka win.
The bad name you give other Igbos by association with all the crude insults you throw all around cyberspace is what concerns me more. Because the actions of internet chest-beating moorons could have wider repercussions for millions of enterprising Igbos going about their business in various host communities
Shove your trashy sympathy down your dark throat. You are the only one who needs it.
Igbo-hating folks like you who demonize self-determination and equate a democratic process of civil-disobedience and demand for referendum as a basis for genocidal threats are foolishly validating Nnamdi Kanu's rhetorics without knowing it.
[s]
Alcatraz007: I have been sympathetic to their plight but they are not amenable to reason. My resolution is to adopt a "siddon look" attitude to the cold war between them and the buhari Government. Igbos need to be careful and rein in Nnamdi Kanu before he plunges the SE into an avoidable crisis/internal strife. We have nothing further to offer the Igbos but words of reason and caution. They are not the only ones feeling the heat of the Buhari Government {I am Nigerian and christian for that matter}, so they should adopt a different approach in requesting for what they feel is due to them. No Government in the World would accept the treasonable actions of that Nnamdi Kanu fellow without rising up to protect the corporate existence of the nation. Agitations for Secession/Referendum must be done within the accepted/stipulated boundaries of the law; any other method should/would be severely punished by any Government worth its salt.
Any crisis that erupts from the actions of Nnamdi Kanu would strictly be confined to the SE of the Country and would not spread to other parts of the Country irrespective of the wish of millions of igbos for it to so spread. In the unlikely event that it spreads, other Nigerians would just use the opportunity to eject the igbos from their cities while claiming abandoned properties. The war mongers should think deeply and be properly guided in all their actions and evil machinations. If anybody thinks a war can be imported into yorubaland because they do not want to move on from 2015, then they are in for a shock. I wont say more than that.
That's your opinion. It does not change his perception of who you are (a conquered foe). It won't also change the perception of his descendants about your descendants. It had been that way before you were born. It will remain that way for your children's children unless you do something drastic to change it. That's what Kanu is doing. Care to join him? Or do you prefer to continue living in delusion? The choice is yours.
Maduawuchukwu: If Igbo people are conquered then his people are too. Besides Igbo achievement in Nigeria doesn't seem like what defeated people will achieve.
It will be different because it will be built on the structures of ABSOLUTE FREEDOM, fairness, equity and justice.
SamzackD: Dude I think you've got me wrong, I never tried to demonize Kanu, the guy came into Nigeria at the right time, when the country was in ruins, and he sold Igbo's the idea for Biafra(a country founded because of the 1963 genocide), nd that was revolutionary, cause it was gonna change the course of Nigeria history, but before i can believe in the biafra his selling he needs tyo tell me why its gonna be diff from the Nigeria we have now
You are only ranting incoherently because you are sticking your little finger on an issue you know nothing about.
You absolutely know nothing about Biafra and Nnamdi Kanu.
And your selfish crave for personal comfort (whilst demonizing someone who's sacrificing his personal comfort for all) is the greatest undoing of Nigerians.
And by the way, your quack narrative about who a great leader should be is dead on arrival.
Here is the reality:
NO SINGLE REVOLUTIONARY LEADER in the global history got 100% support from everyone.
Even God did not get 100% support from his creation - INCLUDING ANGELS. Have you not heard of Lucifer and atheists?
Not even Jesus, the greatest leader that ever lived, had 100% support from everyone.
There is no single thing to understand about their resistance to a call for separation. They are just being idiotic, arrogant and hopelessly short sighted.
hokafor: You are against separation,that I can somehow understand. you are also against restructuring? So u are happy with the ways this country is being managed? Is either you are one the beneficiaries of the corruptions going on in this joke called country or poverty and frustration has dealt with you that you can no longer reason proper.
Next time stick to the facts and quit twisting issues.
Oil do not make nations lazy. Nations get lazy because they choose to be lazy.
Yes, the structure is designed to promote laziness and exclusive extraction.
But why blame it on the oil?
Take away oil, your folks will still be lazy DUE TO SOMETHING ELSE.
So, praying for the oil to dry is not just silly, it's insane.
But, why am I not suprised?
You and your gang probably thought that unrefined crude is all there is to oil.
obailala: Look man, you WIN! I'm tired of this dumb shiit! especially when it has now become an APC vs PDP issue to you (or probably you only saw it as APC vs PDP all along, now wonder we could never be on the same page).
If you dont understand my point about how the feeding bottle arrangement of Nigeria's structure has made 5 out of 6 zones in Nigeria to be lazy and parasitic to free oil money coming from the SS, then I'm sorry I'm a bit too busy right now to continue with these explanations which are like pouring water on a rock. You win! I am dumb! Bye!
