MNK the smartest man ever

Some fools think he's a leader of the unemployed and okada riders.

Unik3030:
guy please don't say this trash outside,it's like Nnamdi Kanu have made u seen these white people as mini god.

The only question any sane man will ask u is that,is there provision for referendum in the constitution?
Y do u have elected leaders if u can't take things through them?
What's d meaning of democracy?

U just believe governance is by doing what u think,so Biden will just wake up and start acting like u wish

When most of you one Nigeria appologists argue, I just look at the ignorance you guys exhibit with so much confidence and only shake my head.

America was regarded as global police for a reason. They have military bases in all continents and regions for a reason. The same America your dum.b president was begging to bring the headquarters of Africom to Africa? The same America you beg for help? The same America that coughs and all the entire government in Nigeria catches cold? So that same America is no longer important??

The whites are not important but when you declared war against Biafra in 1967, you ran to them to help you fight it?

Ordinary visa threats by America scares the shitt out of your corrupt kleptomaniacs in Abuja yet they're not important?

What constitution are you talking about? What democracy? Do you have anything that truly resemble constitution or democracy in Nigeria?

You're obviously a kid who doesn't understand how international politics is played.

Don't mind them. Their eyes will soon clear

Kzinne:
they so broke they can't even afford to pay in full but in installments

U ppl hv been stealing southern resources since d beginning of ds failed contraption called one nijeriya, yet yu all are d poorest in d whole world with d highest numbers of child beggars (almajiri) in the world, you are d most backward, d highest number of dirty menial jobs is left for u pple, even the world has warned that u pple will soon suffer a severe famine...and to add salt to injury, d least educated.

But ur small mindedness nd tribalism will nuh let u think about all dat b4 jumping into ipob matter. So what if they pay in installments? They are doing something useful with it dat would ensure we break all ties with u illiterates forever.

B4 talking sh*t about IPOB, think about how ur elites are bagging all d southern wealth in offshore accounts for their generation. Think of how all der children travel d world, school in foreign institutions, marry when they want and to who they want and do absolutely what they like.. Whereas, ignoramuses like you are meant to be O-yes members. You kiss der feet nd follow whatever the elites tell you blindly...if u r not pushing cow, u into banditry. If not that, then ur in Nairaland, fighting for their selfish interests. Shame on all ur kinds here. I pity u all really, bcoz in as much as we southerners feel we are prisoners in dis country, u pple are way worse than that.. You are all imprisoned in shallow-mindedness nd ur warped minds that hv been programmed to follow ur clerics nd elites without thinking in the name of religion.

It's indeed a pity. If the news of IPOB bugs you, you can still end ur life, trust me, you would be doing urself a huge favor.

Saao:
in international politics, you can't do without collaboration, that's exactly what's doing. If they seek for independent, he can't get it without collaboration with developed nations that has high influence on Nigeria. Again these countries can force Nigeria to terms with sanctions expecially most of our politics are centred on relationships with foreign partners like US and others. Anyways, that's his plan, let him do what works for him.
If we live in a country where every part of the country is giving fair hearing, treated equally in appointments, infrastructures etc there will not be any needs for division. Nigeria can works if the leaders want it to work if not disintegration is closer than unity.

In that case he can only seek for such support when his people are under oppression not seeking for sovereign nation's division. Since the creation of UN there was never a time when a country not individual support the division of another country, never!
It's obvious that diplomatic changes & sanctions can be imposed on any nation when there is breach of human rights and other chatter provision of UN!

Mecka:
By Ade Adesomoju
The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu , has engaged a new
American lobbying firm to help the group win the
support of the U.S. government.

The one-year deal is slated to run for 12 months
and is costing Mr Kanu and IPOB $750,000, which
is over N300million at the current official exchange
rate of N410 to one U.S. dollar.

PREMIUM TIMES is in possession of the contract
papers which Mr Kanu signed with the BW Global
Group (BWGG LLC, in February.

The firm, co-owned by Jeffrey Birrel and Alan White,
is registered in Washington D.C, the U.S. capital,
which has a high concentration of top government
officials, lawmakers, policymakers, and opinion
leaders, who IPOB is trying to engage on the
rightfulness and necessity of its cause.

The agreement, which took effect from March 1,
2021, came months after an earlier one struck by
Mr Kanu with another U.S.-based lobbying entity,
Mercury Public Affairs LLC, expired.

Under the old contract, IPOB, through Mr Kanu, paid
$85,000 per month beginning September 23, 2019,
in addition to a $5,000 one-time compliance fee.

That means Mr Kanu paid $1,025,000 for the 12-
month contract, which is approximately
N400million, based on the prevailing official
exchange rate at the time (N380 to a dollar).

In June last year, the Nigerian government fumed at
the deal, which it claimed was aimed at discrediting
the country in the U.S. and Europe.

PREMIUM TIMES got the details of both the old and
new deals from the contractors’ registration
statements and agreements filed at the Foreign
Agents Registration Unit of the U.S Department of
Justice.

The registration, mandatory under the U.S. Foreign
Agents Registration Act of 1938 and for “public
disclosure”, entails filing documents, including
completed predesigned forms marked Exhibits A
and B, and the agreements stipulating the full
details of the contract.

Failure to provide this information “is subject to the
penalty and enforcement provisions established in
Section 8 of the Act,” FARA says in one of the
documents reviewed by this reporter.

The services Nnamdi Kanu wants

The terms of the successive contracts with a strict
focus on the U.S appear to be part of Mr Kanu’s
quiet but broad efforts to win the support of the
U.S. government, Congress, policymakers, and
opinion leaders for IPOB.

The filings by BW Global Group (BWGG) after
negotiations were concluded in February show that
the firm was engaged by Mr Kanu to undertake
“political activities” in the U.S. on behalf of IPOB.
The activities include engaging the U.S.

government, Congress and the Department of State,
(the equivalent of Foreign Affairs Ministries in
Nigeria and other countries) and engaging
policymakers on behalf of IPOB.

“The registrant (BWGG) expects to advocate on
behalf of IPOB within the US Government (including
the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Department of
State) and otherwise engage policymakers and
opinion leaders,” a part of the registration statement
marked Exhibit B, read.

The agreement, signed on February 24, 2021, by Mr
Kanu, another representative of IPOB, Rita Eze, and
a co-owner of BWGG, Mr White, provides further
details of what the job entails.

“BWGG shall provide the IPOB with services relating
to the promotion of human rights and democracy
and shall otherwise act as an advocate for the
indigenous people of Biafra,” the document reads in
part.

It added that BWGG “may also undertake other
similar services that might be referred to BWGG
from the IPOB from time to time by mutual
agreement.”

The deal has the same scope as the expired
contract executed by Mercury Public Affairs, LLC.
Under that agreement, Mercury provided “strategic
consulting and management services specific to
issues facing the client in the areas of government
relations and issues management.”

The payment mode

BWGG is expected to provide the agreed services
under the new agreement to IPOB for a period of
one year from March 1, 2021, through February 28,
2022.

The firm is to receive its payment for “professional
services” of $750,000 in monthly instalments.

But $100,000 is to be paid at the signing of the
agreement covering the first two months – March
and April 2021 – “leaving a balance of $650,000”.

The balance of $650,000 “will be paid in monthly
instalments of $65,000 USD per month commencing
on May 1, 2021, and paid successively on the 1st
of each month until the total fee of $750,000 USD
has been paid to BWGG by the client”.

“Payment to BWG shall be by bank wire or bank
draft,” the document added.

The firm, under the agreement “will provide monthly
status reports as deliverables regarding the
progress and status of the project.”

Nnamdi Kanu and the separatist campaign

Mr Kanu, a British and Nigerian national, has a
relatively strong footing in the U.K.

His engaging lobbyists to win the support of the
U.S. appear to be part of a broader move to win
the buy-in of western powers in the separatist
cause of IPOB.

IPOB, known for its agitation for an independent
Republic of Biafra, has had a series of violent
confrontations with Nigeria’s security agencies.
Weeks of deadly encounters between the group’s
members and soldiers culminated in a military
invasion of Mr Kanu’s home in Afara-Ukwu, near
Umuahia, the Abia State capital, in September 2017.

Mr Kanu, who wants the Igbo-speaking states in
Nigeria’s South-east carved out of Nigeria, fled the
country in the wake of the military invasion.

Following that encounter with IPOB militants, the
Nigerian government obtained a court order on
September 20, 2017, to designate the organisation
a terrorist group and to proscribe it.

But the British government has yet to recognise
IPOB as a terrorist group. There is even suspicion
by some officials of the Nigerian government that
Britain facilitated Mr Kanu’s return to the U.K after
he escaped the military invasion of his home.

PREMIUM TIMES has yet to independently verify
that claim.

With the charges of treasonable felony still pending
against him at the Federal High Court in Abuja, the
Nigerian government has repeatedly fumed about
the protection he and other IPOB members appear
to be getting from the British government.

Since fleeing Nigeria, Mr Kanu continues to engage
IPOB members through his social media channels,
with the government often attributing escalating
violence in the Southeast region to IPOB.

Many local and international human rights
organisations have also condemned years of
military attacks on the group that started as a
peaceful organisation pursuing the rights of its
members to self-determination.

All that money could be used to counter-balance all the money the North is receiving from Saudi Arabia to fund terrorism in Nigeria

IDOL WORSHIPPERS,THEY RELEASED PRISONERS TO DESTROY THEIR LANDS AND LIVELIHOODS UNDER THE GUISE OF STRUGGLE
THAT IS CONSEQUENCE OF IDOL WORSHIP.

THE REASON WE LOVE NNAMDI KANU, IS THAT HE IS VERY SERIOUS ABOUT BIAFRA.



HE IS WORTH DIEING FOR AND ANY OF US WILL DIE FOR THIS COURSE.




IT IS A WORTHY COURSE TO DIE FOR.





SO DONT THINK THAT DEATH WILL PHASE US, IT DOESNT.






AFTER ONE DIE, ANOTHER WILL TAKE HIS PLACE AND CONTINUE.

Coronabirus:
You can't just conclude that the guy is smart without assessing the importance of spending the money in a non prioritise channel. Kanu can't in every day accused whites for his mayhem and still rush to them for freedom instead of fighting or struggling for the freedom in a better way; it's obvious that some groups of Nigerians are still enslaved for always rushing to EU & US instead of going through authorise ways with chatterbthat cover such occurrences like ECOWAS, UN & AUN. US is very sensitive abt Nigeria's ethno-religious and heterogeneous complexity and has no right in which ever guise to speak fox him except bwhere human right is violated. The dirty religious campaign of TY Danjuma and CAN has received concern from the US because of their religious agenda & affiliation but US can't give Igbos freedom.
It's wiser for Kanu to ask his fellow separatists to contest election at all level of govt and after winning election, he can push hard for their independence throy SE Governor's forum, House of Reps and other stakeholders. [b]US is very aware of his violent struggle of killing securities and his excessive ethno-religious hatred on other Nigerians.[/b]Great freedom fighters have soft & forgiving heart while standing firm for their cause that they speak with wisdom and protect the right of people but u can't just be chanting for war that u can't win and at the same time asking & buying for sympathy from people who know u better.

On the bold.
Those are more of your Igbophobic fantasies than anything else.
USA and all western nations know that IPOB is a peaceful group that have been massacred in great numbers by terrorist Nigeria security apparatus for simply floating Biafran flags in rallies. This is why they all allow IPOB register and operate freely in their respective countries.

are they not under oppression? I'm a minority from North Central, its easier for me as a minority to get appointment from government than igbo man from South East, they are being killed because they voice their frustration. What have u not seen happen to igbos? If hausa and yoruba wants to unite they will fight igbos. Sometimes I pity them.

Orubebe01:
Biafra is coming even the almajiris can't stop it

Yes! Sooner than later to be closely followed by Oduduwa republic!

because you lied right? Why won't I be proud of my tribe if I'm an igbo? One thing u don't know, most of us from middle belt empathise with igbo. We made them to loose the civil war, if it happen again, we will gladly support them against the far north.

How do we act? Can u give us an idea ?

Typical Frustrated yoruba Muslim...

Unik3030:
so if they can't do without them like u said,what do u think they stand to gain in your landlocked Republic than a combined Nigeria?
So u think they will support some unknown imaginary country over established cash cow like Nigeria.

Only south south with oil can do that kind of a thing if truly they are serious about it,but u people have no negotiating things

Or is it drugs n crimes u want to start importing

No wonder the guy that replied you earlier said you [color=#770077][/color]were still a student. You sound like one. Your submissions utterly give you out. You are so infantile in your reasoning.
