Oga answer those questions up there ?

When did igbos tell you they want to leave Nigeria ?

When did appoint nnamdi kanu and its called Ipob to be our spokesman ?
Igbos are your gods and redeemers. Accept that. Your Nigeria will be like Cotonou or Niger without the mighty igbos. That's why you're always on your knees begging them to stay..
Lazy bimbos..

Because I said I will wear a dress? Do you see how stewpid this country is? A dress! A fuckin dress!!! I am not planning to kill anybody oo or abduct anybody or steal.. killers are walking free. Murderous kidnappers are all walking free.... But its a dress that is giving you guys hypertension! You see why I feel so violated being called a Nigerian? You know what? Tomorrow morning, I will wear a big Biafran dress and walk around! Come and arrest my bicycle! Shekau everywhere..
dude. Be security conscious. I don't care about any Biafra or Gumi tussle in Nigeria. You guys can keep hating yourselves while the rest of the world grow in technology.

I'm only advising you not to get in the way in Nigeria if you have dreams. Trust me I'm talking from experience with the so called police guys in 2016. I only wore an army cap. That was all. And take note; I wasn't caught with the cap, it was seen as a picture on my phone.

I'm a graduate, I know my rights, I did the solar installation in the biggest lawfirm in lekki and abuja. I have barristers in my family. But guess what? This is Nigeria. Trust me I lost a lot of money getting out of that little problem. I'm even grateful to God it ended that way because many have been killed and exchanged with hardened thieves in altercations like that. I was naive. I was speaking English. My next best hobby after playing chess was speaking English (before I started understanding real life). In fact I bought some law books in the past just to help this English speaking gymnastics. I was in the habit of quoting and speaking big English to uniformed men. It used to work on soldiers sometimes, and on some occasions, it irritated them. It failed woefully for instance with soldiers in 2013. Very woefully oh. Now I've stopped it. I used to be very good at it but now I've stopped. I'm now the quiet type.

Or are you thinking everybody who did the endsars walk is now in his house? Some may still be locked up unknown with their lives messed up by now. Why would you want to do that? To prove what? That you are brave? Sometimes its just a thin line between bravery and nativity. If you play chess you'll not capture your opponent's pawn and loose your Queen


If you have loved ones who will be worried about you, then walk with caution, but if dont, then Wear that shirt with all the law you know, you will realise you are not in America when its too late. Only your family care about you. Everybody go follow you shout for internet but when time come dem go draw body enter house leave you for there. Or you no hear say djswitch no dey Canada? You see say anybody send am? Love yourself bro! Na you owe yourself. Nobody owe you. A word is enough. If you like, go wear sun will rise again, if rain come fall for morning, na your body go soak oh. Na your people go sell family house take beg for your matter ooooh.

One IPOB Sympathiser, after seeing Agu's arrest, said "God go judge, can you do this to a Northerner....?".
Indeed, God must judge between the way Nnamdi Kanu was given bail and how Elzakzakky and his wife had remained in jail. God will judge with way we dealt ruthlessly with bandits in the NW, dethroned emirs that behaved like Agu, whereas, Abaribe is still a Senator.
Re: DSS Arrests Chinwetalu Agu by Nobody:
The harassment and arrest of celebrated Nollywood actor, Mr. Chiwetalu Agu, on Thursday, 7th October, 2021 by the Nigerian Army is illegal, unconscionable and unwarranted. The actor has not committed any criminal offence known to law. The Nigerian Army should stop ridiculing itself before the international community.

Supposing without conceding that the dressing of the legendary actor amounts to "incitement" as claimed by the Army, it is the Nigeria Police Force that should have responded. There is no evidence of incitement against him. Nothing was inscribed on the said cloth to incite the public.

Is the Army suggesting that wearing clothes with certain colours or identifying with certain colours amounts to inciting people to violence or that any colour identical to the Biafran flag is inciting?. That will be a dangerous proposition. If they are convinced about such whimsical argument, the government should test it in a competent court of law. The allegation that he is recruiting for or supporting IPOB is unsupported by evidence. It is a way of calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it. Discerning Nigerians can see through the smoke screen.

The military has no power in a constitutional democracy to arrest citizens; except in very special and exceptional circumstances like during war, state of emergency, insurrection or riot. Even at that, it has to be shown that the Police has been overwhelmed. That is the purport of Section 217 of the 1999 Constitution which limits the role of the Armed Forces to defending the territorial integrity of Nigeria and acting in aid of civil authorities. Is Nigeria at war?

What did Chiwetalu Agu do that overwhelmed the Nigeria Police Force to warrant the Army stepping in to aid the police in arresting him?

We have become so used to lawlessness, impunity and flagrant disregard for the fundamental rights of citizens that we now condone whatever nonsense is thrown at us by the authorities.

Wearing a cloth with colours similar to the Biafran flag is not defined as an offence under any written law in this country. It is IPOB that was proscribed, not Biafra.

A significant portion of the Nigerian population still sees Biafra as an idea. No government can kill an idea that people are emotionally attached to by deploying the military. History has shown that the best way to defeat an idea is by propagating a superior and more persuasive idea. In the last six years, the Buhari regime has been propagating the idea that the best way to govern a diverse country like Nigeria is by pursuing a vindictive policy of exclusion, religious bias and ethnic supremacy which has further polarized the citizens and isolated different parts of this country.

By promoting nepotism and ethnic irredentism, Buhari is not qualified to propagate a Pro-Nigeria ideology that can counter the renewed agitations by a section of the South East for Biafra. Rather than heal old wounds, Buhari is ferociously opening new ones. Yet, he continues to parrot the fallacy that the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable.

While I wholeheartedly condemn the wanton killings in the South East and the ensuing violence, there should be no tolerance for high-handedness and blatant disregard for the rights of the citizens. Rules of Engagement must be strictly followed.

By the combined effect of Section 36 (cool and (12) of the 1999 Constitution, an act or conduct is only a crime if it is so defined in a written law which must also prescribe the punishment for the offence. The Supreme Court had resolved this matter long ago in the celebrated case of AOKO V. FAGBEMI (1961) 1 NLR 400 and more recently in the case of GEORGE V. FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA [2014] ALL FWLR (pt. 718) 879.

The very idea of telling citizens what colour of cloth to wear is not only ludicrous but offensive. We are not in Communist China or North Korea.

It is a sad commentary that the Buhari regime is working day and night to turn Nigeria into a police state.

If the military authority has a movie role for Chiwetalu Agu, they should approach him with respect with their offer and desist from making a mockery of the security situation in the South East. The attack on Chiwetalu Agu is a painful reminder that the Buhari regime is ruling Nigeria with the mindset of the civil war.

Under this regime, peaceful young Nigerians were shot and killed by the same Nigerian Army while raising the Nigerian flag and singing the national anthem at the Lekki Toll Gate. Till date, no single soldier has been court-martialed for that abominable desecration of what is supposed to be sacred national symbols. Yet, the same Army arrested Chiwetalu Agu for wearing a cloth identical to the Biafran flag.

In other words, under the draconian Buhari regime, both 'Biafran colours' and Nigerian colours are symbols of "incitement" with severe punishment that includes death. That is not how to build and unify a nation.

The Army should apologize to the iconic actor and pay him adequate compensation for subjecting him to harassment and public humiliation.

Looks like a show of DEFIANCE is needed. If anybody from IPOB is reading, we need an order; a week should be set aside and during this period, everyone in the East must dress in the Biafran Flag! Head to toe.. I mean Chinwetalû Agu style..
Let them arrest all of us... Nonsense and Gumi..
They will hate him like they hate Kanu! Igbos should just stick together on this . There is strength in unity

Oga speak for your self and your fellow ipob bingos and Stop saying everyone in the east ? What kind of rubbish is this ?

No every Igbo man is an ipob member. Get that into your skull. Stop forcing that Ipob madness on innocent civilians in the east.

You and your family can lead by example by wearing biafra attire and be parading the public not by inciting people to wear biafra attire in the comfort of your bedroom.
wada you like it or not 90 percent of people in the east subscribe to the idea, not every one want Buhari as president but he is the president because majority voted him so your 10% which is against the idea of sovereign state of Biafra just doesn't count
