Throwback: If I’m Rearrested, This Country Will Burn – Nnamdi Kanu by okoro(op): 2:55pm On Oct 21, 2023
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has boasted that Nigeria will burn if he is rearrested by the Federal Government.

Kanu made this declaration in an interview with The Sun newspaper.

He asked why those calling for his arrest have refused to call for the arrest of the coalition of northern youths who gave the quit notice to Igbos to leave the North before October 1.

Asked if he was afraid of being rearrested for flouting bail conditions, Nnamdi Kanu said:

“I don’t care! Quote me verbatim. If I’m rearrested, this country will burn, I assure you.

”From where that oil money they depend on, they can no longer have access to it. I assure them that. This is not empty threat.

”We’re IPOB, we don’t abandon our own.

The Biafra gadfly also talked on the Anambra governorship election slated for November. He said it is the people’s civic responsibility to boycott the Anambra elections, adding that a “total and absolute boycott” will be implemented.


Kanu said the support he has gotten from his tour of “Biafran territory” has never been replicated by anyone, not by any visiting dignitary, Head of State, political or religious leader.

On President Muhammadu Buhari‘s speech upon his return from his over 100 days medical vacation, Kanu said he doesn’t believe the president wrote the speech.

Kanu said he still has plans to visit Lagos and Kaduna like he stated he would.

“I have a lot of friends in Lagos and Southern Kaduna too. When the time comes, I will visit those places.

”You spoke about my security, but I’m telling you that I’m not living any more. What you are seeing is but an empty shell that is only seeking for Biafra.”

Armed robberies happen all over the world, south Africa, UK, America...but the police should ensure the robbers do not escape, I mean, block escape routes, incapacitate their vehicles, toss them grenades, robbers can steal, but it's shameful if you allow them escape.

That ‘burning’ in the south-east, whether by omission or commission, was done by your Igbo-hating ilk! Make no mistake about that!

You’re too deluded to realise that the socio-economic fabric of your cursed country is burning as we speak! Keep on comforting yourself with ‘south-east is burning while my own region is a Oasis of peace and tranquillity’ if that helps you sleep well at night!

What’s all this nonsense you’re posting!? Seems to me you’re just grasping at straws!

Is your country not a shithole and the world capital of poverty as we speak!? Yet you go about posting reports of your own evil handiwork in the south-east in order to try and score useless points and give life to your weakass argument!? Even your fellow Igbo-hater, that fat toad Asari Dokubo, was running his mouth like broken tap the other day…bragging about how he and his thugs are operating in the south-east with the blessing of the Nigerian state, yet your small mind thinks there’s not more to the engineered insecurity in the south-east than the Nigerian gov’t is willing to admit!? That stupid pic you gleefully post of people being assaulted in the name of sit-at-home that IPOB has reiterated countless number of times has been called off…..that’s either the handwork of Asari and ogogoro guzzling thugs or other non-Igbo/non-state actors operating in the south-east!

The funny thing is that despite all your evil state-sponsored antics, the south-east was recently declared the safest region in the country…..two times in a row!

The import of what Mazi Kanu said is clear to any discerning mind! His rearrest implies the hegemonic Nigerian gov’t is still sweeping unresolved national questions under the carpet…pretending they don’t exist! Questions of how to bring about TRUE nationhood and how disparate nations and heterogeneous units can sit down and address intractable issues that have dogged this country since the 1950s….these are still unaddressed, yet you gloat and feel smug and triumphalist that you managed to contravene international laws on the rendition of suspects and kidnap a man you imply on this thread isn’t a threat or a headache to you!

Obsessing and gloating over Mazi Kanu and his illegal incarceration, with all the evil, corruption, death and madness going on in your country is akin to a machete-wielding man chasing a rat from room to room while his entire house is going up in flames!
