And the wake up call would come from a man who called black people names?

Okay.

You remember the saying hid the cain and spoil your child

The same way Reno was fooled that is how Politicians and religious leaders fool most Nigerians with either unfounded allegations or deliberately done to heat polity or cause ethno-religious rift between people who mostly do business together, attend the same schools, work together but divided by statements that are meant to cause tension among citizens. We need to always verify what we hear or see otherwise we'll regret our actions.

MNK giving some folks sleepless evenings It will end in accolades

If Reno opens his mouth to say that he just heard Kanu's broadcast or statements or maxims( to his followers) for the first time yesterday then he is a liar and the father of liars.

Reno, Sowore and FFK have sold their hearts to the devil since 2015. Deji Adeyanju and Aisha Yesufu get small conscience pass dem.

speak for your people and stop meddling in the affairs of the majority

I said it, since the UK itself disowned him , even Igboho will soon disassociate with him and apologise to the federal government and the people of Nigeria

The fact is that the collosal damage Nnamdi Kanu has inflicted on average Igbo youth especially those listening (IPOBs) to his venom called broadcast will take decades to erase. He has successfully inflicted on them victim mentality that every little issue you will see someone who suppose to think out of the box reasoning like a cow they are accusing fulanis of rearing.

To those who give them listening ear everybody hates them, north hate them, south hates them, west hates them infact even God might have been accused of hating them if the fugitive wasn't captured in kenya.

I remember so very vividly that another name for Reno's page is IPOB and they always rush to post every of his write up here, I wonder what has happened in the last few days their chukwuokike abiama leader was captured in kenya

Sometimes you begin to wonder how this biafra will be? Simple sit-at-home in east to celebrate biafra Igbos fallen hero's day, People observed it even in their homes they are afraid, captivated under fear of the unknown( mmadu chili obi n'aka). A day that is supposed to be free and free to the people same day everywhere was riddled with fear? is that a country or a cave of fears?

One thing I like about the write up is Renos' good use of IPOB particularly to express these garbage of evils ravaging Igbo society because IPOB is not IGBO and IGBO is not IPOB

There are too many unintelligible craps which littered above junk. For goodness sake, no human being is either "White or Black". If a person cannot intellectualize this concept, the person should not pass as a human being. If you claim to be "Black", you are as goofy as Nnamdi Kanu. I could pardon Kanu on his rhethoric because of the situation he finds himself but you. Kanu is an assumed freedom fighter and choice of words has no diplomacy on his side.

Why did you quote the whole article?

Why was Reno Omokri shocked that Nnamdi Kanu dissolved a chapter of a group he is leading? Why?

I dont know why Reno Omokri let propagandists to fool him like this

You may change your mind because..........

I did because I love to do it.

Reno Omokiri sent by the Fulanis to destabilize the peace made by the southerners. This man is an agent of the Fulanis.
Reno you are a typical wicked black man. How much did you collect from the fulanis. This how you deceived GEJ

You are finished. We love our Igbo brothers and all Southerners

the former presidential candidate is Adamu Garba
he's just masking it with a southerner.

Reno has never supported Kanu and it's understandable because he's a former presidential aide which makes him a one Nigeriaist

Although I don't support MNK's style, but who takes this one serious.

One of the faulty aides to one of the founders of the many problems Nigeria is facing.

Like Reno, Like Garba.... All of them na the same thing.
The only difference is power, one has lost it and one has it at the moment.

Kanu cares, that's why he's trying to latch unto us. And my people want no part of his idiocy. Tell him we said so.

Never seen a retardèd mofo like Kanu. And you, your confusion no be here. Today, you create a thread denouncing him, next day, you're all over the place genuflecting before him. You got serious problems man.

Some peeps are busy dishing out false and fake news on nairaland and social media just to disabuse people's mind against one another.
This is too bad for the society.

What would life be as a minority in Kanu’s Biafra? - Reno Omokri | Vanguard.

But my experience with Mr. Kanu’s supporters made me have a rethink. With the way they treat him as though he is infallible, could it not be more likely that there was nobody within the organisation bold enough to advise Mr. Kanu not to travel to Kenya, because to do so, or to counter him in any way, would have brought upon such a person weighty consequences.

On further introspection, I began to cast my mind to statements Nnamdi Kanu had made in his many broadcasts which I only watched just yesterday.

How did I miss these broadcasts? Have I been too focused on Buhari to the extent that I was blindsided? Is this the fellow I have been defending?

How did I miss these broadcasts? Have I been too focused on Buhari to the extent that I was blindsided? Is this the fellow I have been defending?

Recently, my perspective on Nigeria changed. I have never supported any separatist or secessionist agenda. However, I have supported and defended the right of any Nigerian to express himself and associate freely. It does not matter to me where such a person comes from.

When the Buhari administration moved against Ibrahim Zakzaky and the Shiites, I was the first person (not one of the first) to defend them. After defending them publicly myself, I called the then President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, and begged him to issue a statement calling for an end to the killings of Shiites. He told me that though it was an Islamic affair, nevertheless, because of his fondness for me, he would speak in support, and he did.

I have similarly championed the causes of oppressed persons or people from every part of Nigeria. As much as is humanly possible, I have refused to be partial in my advocacy.

In the last three years, I have visited 40 nations on my own dime and time, for the cause of #FreeLeahSharibu, seeking freedom for a Christian girl from Borno. I have not collected a dime from anyone and of anyone knows anyone who has given me a penny, then they should publicly expose me.

Before Nnamdi Kanu was arrested, I did not know who he was. I just defended his right to freedom of expression and association. Various Igbo leaders called me privately to thank me. It would be wrong to mention their names, because of the challenges of the moment.

When Kanu was rearrested, I called a British government official and got the facts. I was the first (not one of the first. The first) to reveal that he was arrested in Kenya, and not in The UK. After I released this information, the media ran with it.

Yesterday, a former Presidential candidate sent me a tape of Nnamdi Kanu dissolving the UK branch of IPOB and tongue lashing the members of IPOB UK. He told them to hand over IPOB money in their possession. He then said that he suspected that the British Secret service was running IPOB UK.

I was shocked and refused to believe what I heard, until this ex Presidential candidate from the South pointed me to an IPOB channel where this same audio was broadcast.

So I published it on my page. I did not add or edit or alter the voice. I released it as is.

Given that that broadcast was released earlier this year (I was told it was first broadcast in March if 2021, though I am not 100% sure) and Nnamdi Kanu was arrested so soon after (in June), I asked if that altercation could have led to Kanu being betrayed by his members in the UK.

The result was that various persons, who claimed to be members of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra descended on my page and insulted me, attacked me and accused me of collecting money from Buhari. (Would Buhari even give me money? If Buhari will give me anything, it is more likely to be a letter bomb).

They said Nnamdi Kanu can insult anyone he liked and I should leave him alone.

A certain Northerner, who has been on my page attacking me for what he had previously called my “love for the Igbo”, now asked a question. He said ‘so you people have forgotten when this man was fighting for you so soon’?

And so I went into deep thought.

If Nnamdi Kanu eventually gets Biafra and I am a minority in that Biafra, what would be my fate? Would I be able to express myself? Would I have the freedoms for which I myself have been fighting for Nnamdi Kanu to get for the last five years? Would I be able to hold sensitive positions?

I am not Yoruba, but because of me, these members of IPOB insulted the Yoruba (why do people always think I am Yoruba?). I was called ‘ewu Yoruba’. Somebody even threatened to kill me if I ever stepped into Onitsha (the same Onitsha where I donated money and raised millions for victims of the 2019 Onitsha Market Fire?).

These people in their hundreds descended on me with a consistent refrain, tthat Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the supreme leader of the Igbos and he could insult his members if he chose and no one could question him.

And that prompted a paradigm shift in my consciousness. If you have been following the dailies, you would have read one or two stories planted by the Buhari administration in the papers of how they have been tracing Kanu and monitoring his movements for two years.

The stories claimed that they were able to get to him through members of the Eastern Security Network that they had captured. Then a few days ago, they released a video testimony of one captured ESN member, by name Emeoyiri Uzorma Benjamin, that has now gone viral, in which the young man claimed that Kanu had given them instructions to kill policemen and soldiers, as well as their fellow Igbos.

He sensationally claimed that Kanu instructed them to bury one of his lieutenants, Nwaokike Kayinayo Andy, AKA Ikonso with 2000 human heads. Even more sensationally, he alleged that Mr. Kanu gave directives to them to kill young girls, who they used for fetish charms.

Now, it is not possible to say it this fellow is telling the truth, or half truths or lies. However, from his testimony, or account of the inside workings of IPOB/ESN, and the broadcasts which I listened to, and which is also available on some IPOB social media accounts, we see that Nnamdi Kanu had almost total authority over IPOB.

All this time, I was thinking that, though Nnamdi Kanu showed extreme indiscretion by going to a country like Kenya, which is notorious for extrajudicially extraditing people to regimes seeking them (the Turkish government did exactly the same thing the Nigerian government did with Kanu to Selahaddin Gulen, a Turkish dissident that was captured by Turkey’s intelligence from Nairobi. In that instance, Kenya first denied complicity, then promised to investigate the event. It happened in 2016. Kenya is still ‘investigating’ that event), that he nevertheless must have been betrayed by someone in his organisation, who tipped the Nigerian intelligence agencies that Kanu was headed to Kenya.

But my experience with Mr. Kanu’s supporters made me have a rethink. With the way they treat him as though he is infallible, could it not be more likely that there was nobody within the organisation bold enough to advise Mr. Kanu not to travel to Kenya, because to do so, or to counter him in any way, would have brought upon such a person weighty consequences.

And then I began thinking about the ‘dot in a circle’ statement by General Buhari. I had criticised Buhari for making that comment. It is most irresponsible of him to have described the Igbo as such. It showed his malevolent mindset towards some citizens of his own country, and he should apologise.

However, on further introspection, I began to cast my mind to statements Nnamdi Kanu had made in his many broadcasts which I only watched just yesterday.[/color]

[b]He unacceptably insults Black people as being less intelligent than other races (how can a Black person say such things? Is that not self hatred?). He attacks Yoruba churches, pastors and media (what is a Yoruba church? Honestly, I had never heard of a Yoruba church until I heard that word from Kanu. I thought all churches belonged to God through Christ).

You can imagine if you are Yoruba and sympathetic to the plight of the Igbo, and you listen to all the bile from Kanu about your ethnic nationality, how would you look if you continue to defend him to your kinsmen?

Then you listen to some of the even more outrageous things he has said about Northerners (Igbos, your enemy is Buhari. Your enemies are not the Hausa or Fulani. Don’t mix up the two). I cannot even repeat them here.

Looking back to those broadcasts, it looks to me that it is Nnamdi Kanu himself who made IPOB (not the Igbos as Buhari claims) a dot in a circle.

He made no attempts to be persuasive. He did not even try to win hearts. He made no pretence of anything but contempt to anyone who was not part of his Biafra. Even though I had always thought that Odili, Amaechi and Wike and their people in Rivers state are Igbos, I now understand, but do not agree with Wike’s claims that they are not Igbos.

Who would want to be a minority in a country ruled by Kanu? Tufiakwa! You speak your mind and you may be shot on the spot!

To be honest, I had never listened to these broadcasts by Nnamdi Kanu until they were brought to my attention by this Southern Presidential candidate. I was clueless about their existence. In fact, I felt a bit naive. I felt like a fool!

Anyone who has been following me for the last six years would have known how much of my time and money I have devoted to defending, advocating for and promoting the cause of the Igbos.

However, having watched for the first time these videos where Nnamdi Kanu called Black people wicked (I am Black, but I don’t think I am wicked), and where he described Igbos who refuse to support IPOB as evil, I am flummoxed!

However, the one that shocked me the most was his statement that (and this is an exact quote), “If you are attending a Yoruba church, you should be ashamed of yourself. Anyone who attends a church headed by a Yoruba pastor is an idiot. A complete fool. An slowpoke. I have no time for them. They are worse than Boko Haram. They are very, very foolish. If your pastor is Yoruba, you are not fit to be a human being.”

And the funniest thing is that >b]the pastor who provoked him into making that statement is from Auchi. He is not even Yoruba. No wonder they think I am Yoruba.[/b] To these lot, anyone Southerner West of the Niger is Yoruba. They have a majority mindset that is not minority friendly AT ALL.

Even more disturbing is that this Auchi pastor, who Nnamdi Kanu calls Yoruba, and used to generalise all Yoruba pastors, was summoned by DSS in December of 2016, and asked to explain why he did a video calling for Kanu’s release. Who fights those who fights for them?

How did I miss these broadcasts? Have I been too focused on Buhari to the extent that I was blindsided? Is this the fellow I have been defending?

I am a minority. My late father was a minority. He went to Sokoto as a Youth Corp Member in 1975, and became Nigeria’s youngest Director of Public Prosecution and Nigeria’s youngest judge (at the time), and was elevated to the Court of Appeal, all from old Sokoto. Would that be possible in Kanu’s Biafra?

And when he was interviewed in 2020 by Dr. Damages (I did not even know until the same Southern former Presidential candidate sent me the video), and given an opportunity to denounce his previous statements against the Yoruba, Nnamdi Kanu doubled down on it and said as follows:

“Most of the difficulties we have been having have always come from these Yoruba pastors.”

Then he went on to say in that same 2020 interview as follows:

“Yoruba Pentecostalism is the reason why Fulanis are invading us today.”

Where is the connection between Pentecostal churches and killer herdsmen?

I was stunned. This video was recorded last year. How come I never saw it. I checked on YouTube and only 27,000 people had seen it.

How can I be against Isa Pantami for saying “We are all happy whenever unbelievers are being killed” and then tolerate these statements from Nnamdi Kanu?

If I do, it will make me a hypocrite. And while I mistakenly may sometimes be hypocritical, I will not be deliberately hypocritical.

Everything I have said here is the truth. It is on video and audio. If you do not like what I have written, then jejely unfollow me. We are obviously not on the same wavelength and I am not about to change in order to make you like me.

[/s] Rubbish. i dont even have time to start debunking or addressing what he said. Reno has never supported secession so why in the hell does he think we can be fooled about him regretting any action when he never supported the views and ideologies of the Igbo people. i respect Reno for many things he has done but he should just sit this one out if he cannot profer any sensible solution. grammer has never solved any problem in Nigeria.

Reno Omokri if Africans are not foolish, it would have shown on the continent. A Tunisia girl won a tennis match, the foolish Europeans did not find it fit to call her African instead they refer to her as Arab.

What happened to Kanu was predictable. Fighting for justice and equity is understandable but doing so in brutish and barbaric way is condemnable.

- erase the dot

The headline is very misleading. Actually Reno claimed he didn't know Kanu until he was arrested. A stupid claim though, and his opinion does not pass the salt.

His post is an emotional outburst to the backlash he received from his fans yesterday when he posted half truth about Kanu possibly to cause disaffections. I guess he didn't know it will boomerang.

I'm not Igbo, but I support the struggle for Biafra and every other group seeking self determination. The contraption called Nigeria has outlived its usefulness.

He no credit your account as agreed omokriminal..

ALTERNATEID:
I don't like Reno quite alright but the part in bold is perfectly true. Examples abound everywhere on Nairaland. Anybody with an opinion that doesn't go down well with IPOB Igbos is immediately tagged Afonja. So many South south people have tried to voice out their opinion on Biafra and other topical issues but they get labelled Afonja. That Nnamdi Kanu even planned to conscript people as far as Benue state into his Biafra without consulting them says a lot about his person.

Truth be told, Biafra as being envisaged by Kanu will just be a smaller version of Nigeria. It will descend into a civil war like south Sudan in less than two years with folks like Kanu in charge. Personally, I wont want to be a minority in such a country.

Don't be a shameless tribalist. I just corrected you up there !!

MAY GOD ALMIGHTY FATHER LOCATE AND OBLITERATE ALL ENEMIES OF PEACE OF NIGERIA WHETHER OUTSIDE OR WITHIN THIS NATION FROM TODAY AND FOREVER IN FSH AMEN!

PataAlhajaKeji:
Which sane human supports Nnamdi Kanu?

Person wey government suppose eliminate with hired assassins. Dem still dey carry am go court. SMH.

God almighty will continue to strengthen u,enrich u in wisdom and may u never lack anything in ur life Amin...I swear u made the finest remark in regards to this bastard called kanu..the government made a great mistake ....they should have us hit men that will finish the guys and bring him back in body bags... MBS and kashogi case come to my mind....they come dey bring talk of trial again they give miscreant followers mouth again...

Sorry I have no respect for anybody supporting that mad man Kanu. This man that does not care if Igbo policemen are killed as long as he wants policemen dead. This man that does not care if Igbos are slaughtered in the North in retaliation as long as he wants Biafra. That man is not sane. If you are educated and you follow him, your hate has overtaken your reasoning. Even Uwazurike who championed the Biafra cause since 2000 has not been this callous with words or authority.

Ok

Maybe MNK is just a privileged psycho! Were alaso!!

Nobody should ever compare him with Sunday Igboho. Never!!!

you Yorubas always find a way to rope the Igbos into useless competitions, so it's now Nnamdi Kanu vs Igboho

Y'all should let go of your inferiority complex, Igbos ain't competing with you
