I thought you IPOBs were saying that there wasn't any fight against Boko Haram?

UfuomaUN:
Their hands were tied. They had two choices: go the long path of opposing the dictatorial Federal govt while the boots remain on the ground killing innocent people in their hundreds or quickly compromising so those state sponsored vampires would have no excuse to spread their mayhem in the south east

RoyalUc:
No I don't!
Sincerely I don't have the slightest idea as to why or how a people should be using their brothers/sisters lives as a bait just to catch one man. Yes, just one man they hate with unbriddled passion.
What is the life of Buhari compared to hundreds or maybe thousands of people who will die and some displaced in their home land?

Did I not warn you to pass? You can't stay with finding trouble

RoyalUc:
In that case, I think there should be no need to cry to the UN, USA, etc for oppression.

RoyalUc:
Ok o...keep the fire burning.

This picture appeared online today. It shows PMB hosting or addressing the other world leaders while they look at him in amazement. I may not know the particular location this picture was taken but it seems the world now has great respect for Nigeria and PMB.
Meanwhile, if you can't say something reasonable, just pass oh.

paschu:
I think he was referring to Nnamdi Kanu.

Stingman:
Do you believe in restructuring and power devolution? Do you accpet that it is wrong for the central goverment to awaed contract for road in my remote village. Do you fancy the government taking resource from a place and use it to develop other places leaving the place in ruin? Do you believe the government can share resources as it pleases, marginalizing the region it hates? Etc, etc.

I can never be gullible. I understand what is going on. You feign ignorance because it favours you.

Stingman:
Like him or hate him..without this guy Nigeria polity will remain on the basis of sustaining the status quo of born to rule. But now the government are doing something.

See ThisDay headline.

I will start my own boycott of elections with anambra state governorship election. the south eastern governors has shown that they do not have the interest of their people at heart, but only serve their own interest, especially when they felt threatened. they forgot that they are serving their people there, that is their people that put them in that position to the present them.

Saraki is funding IPOB

Blue3k:
Interesting but isn't the court supposed to judge on constitutionality.

Senate President Bukola Saraki says the categorisation of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist organisation by the defence headquarters and proscription of the group by south-east governors did not follow due process.

The military and governors from the south-east moved against IPOB on Friday.

In a statement on Monday, Saraki said due processes must be followed in accordance with the law before such declaration can have effect.

The senate president expressed hope that President Muhammadu Buhari would initiate the right process for declaring IPOB a terrorist group, saying this would demonstrate to the world at large that “we are a country that operates by laid down process”.

“I also wish to state that the announcement of the proscription of the group known as Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) by governors of the south-east states and the categorisation of the group as a terrorist organisation by the Nigerian military is unconstitutional and did not follow due process,” the statement read.

“Our laws make clear provisions for taking such actions and without the due process being followed, such declaration cannot have effect.”

Appealing for calm and Nigerians, Saraki called on all Nigerians to come together and find the right solution to the problem rather than worsening the crisis.

“Our brothers and sisters in the south-east, in particular, should continue to maintain peace and tranquillity and go about their lawful business. This crisis will not benefit anybody but would only expose innocent people to unwarranted danger,” it read.

“At this point, Nigerians outside the south-east who have worked to ensure that the crisis does not spread to other parts of the country deserve our commendation. I, therefore, call for continued efforts to sustain peace, unity and stability in all our communities so as to ensure that all residents, no matter their religion, tribe and creed remain protected and safe under the law.

“We must commend the military for their efforts in restoring peace to different parts of the country and sustaining the unity of the country.

“However, in the face of provocation, the military should allow themselves to be guided by their training which emphasises respect for human rights, even in war. Also, giving the nature of this particular situation, the military has every reason to be hesitant in the use of force.”

He said the army should not be over-stretched as there is need to protect the military “against dissipation of their fighting strength”.

The nation’s number three citizen also revealed the plan of the national assembly to embark on a “fact-finding mission” to the south-east.

“I want to also make it clear that the national assembly intends to embark on a fact-finding investigation aimed at determining what actually happened during the period of the military exercise in the south-east. We want to be able to sift the facts from the fiction and determine who did what. It is quite clear that all the facts are not yet known. We assure Nigerians that there will be no cover up. We intend to lay the facts bare.

“We want to remind Nigerians that the reason for embarking on constitution review by the national assembly was to enable us look into issues that are agitating the minds of Nigerians and creating tension among us. We have promised that the exercise would be continuous.

“We intend to keep that promise by further taking decisions that would strengthen and improve on our structures. The eighth national assembly, on resumption, will play its constitutional role by addressing all those issues that are agitating the minds of our people and over which they feel so strong.”

Op, I will advise you to stop this...whatever, at least for now.

To be brave isn't same as delibrately and consciously endangering your life and that of those around you.

Buhari has just a few months to go.

Please bide your time.

Veetee:
How I wish one of the ipob men will just rush to embarass buhari as he is giving his speech, it will make more sense, these politicians behave like normal human being when they are abroad, it is when they are home they behave like animals, no wonder it is called a zoo

Buhari will empty a state if he wants to if not for Geneva convention

Yyeske:
Why should we waste scarce resources feeding those miscreants in prison, many would just be killed off and heaven will not fall, though that's too extreme anyway. Hope you are not one of those brainwashed miscreants
