Sometimes it's wise to just parry some questions or at best, deflect.
This is one of those.

It was a waste of time and public fund.Kenyans have regretted their part in aiding for the kidnapping.I wish Buhari was alive to face trial for this miscarriage of justice.

Indeed. I don't think Obi, because of lack of intelligence, has the capacity to think rationally before he rushes to say whatever come to his mind which often betrays his warped and highly flawed character.

Some things he says I'd expect from some Nairalanders who are touts and will likely never amount to anything in life. Not a politician who wants to be the President of the biggest black nation on Earth.
Even his visit to trade fair and meddling in matters that have an ethnic coloration should be avoided by a man who wants to be president of a multi ethnic country. Okay your Ibo brothers will support you but their votes are not enough and you alienate those whose votes you need.

Personally I have always felt (and said as much on Nairaland) that Atiku dumped him because he added no value to the PDP ticket in 2019. PDP actually got less votes in the SE than in 2015. Ofcourse Atiku did not factor that Obi would leave the party. The point though is that the Ibos have no one else to vote for so he doesn’t have to pander to them at the expense of alienating other voters. They will vote for him whether he appears at trade fair or not because they are not voting for the man Obi, they are voting for the Ibo in the man. So their vote is secure! Unfortunately for him he is not intelligent enough to figure that out and as a consequence each time he betrays his inner self and loses supporters.

lolz what do you have to say about dialogue with real terrorists in North by your Nigeria government?
Equally condemnable! Those who tolerate terrorism and terrorists under any guise whatsoever will live with it!! That is one of the reasons Northern Nigeria is not a desired destination for anyone who values safety, progress and general advancement in life. I know what I am saying. I have firsthand experience. I am blessed to be alive today after the near-death experience in the North when terrorism played out in broad daylight!

Interesting view. So you'd agree if someone says Boko Haram leaders shouldn't be getting arrested in the first place?
How many have been arrested? And what happens to the fighters that get arrested? They get released.
If they can negotiate with bandits, why won't they negotiate with him?

PO must take the lead by joining the criminal/illegal protest on Monday.

There's no need for him whimpering on X!

DSS go use the sectionally biased man take shine.

Little wonder he never condemned MNK's criminal method of seeking for the dismemberment of Nigeria while his goons turned the SE into a Gaza of sorts .

If PO missteps, he would find himself becoming a cellmate with MNK in the DSS custody and heaven will not fall.

See person wey want come rule Nigeria.

A secessionist leader in disguise!

I can't imagine hearing this from a potential president of Nigeria. It shows this man PO is bereaved of ideas and should not be called a leader at all. He is a real tribal bigot. He should go and listen to all the video clips of his brother when he was inciting his army of killers against his brothers and other Nigerians. This man can never win any presidential election in this country by saying NK should not have been arrested at all. Evidence of being a terrorism apologist.

And he's right.



A common dialogue would have solved everything.




Call round table,use all the energy,money and human wasted in fighting Ipob to conduct referendum.



When south East leaders held meeting with him,at a point Kanu agreed to a restructured Nigeria if some certain terms are mate.


Then noise of restructuring was all over Southern Nigeria, especially south west.


But immediately Buhari sent soldiers to assassinate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and he escaped,shout for restructuring died.(operation the soldiers killed 28 innocent people at Kanu's home)




God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
You guys easily forget things in Nigeria. Go back and study well so you can stop misinforming those that have no idea.

APCNig:
Go and release him nah since you know better
Tinubu will release him before 2027 to score a political point for his reelection in the SE states.

Highways:
Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country




Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

The reaction of the lady to Peter Obi's utterance, shown below, would be that of reasonable and law-abiding Nigerians to the shockingly repellent talk of someone who wants to be President of the biggest black nation on Earth yet is sounding like a terror sympathiser.

Of course Nairaland is not full of reasonable and law-abding Nigerians so I don't expect many to agree with the Lady's disgust at Obi's insensitive and lawless talk.
If she is not more disgusted for the apc govt that's negotiating with fulani bandits that are currently killing and kidnapping innocent nigerians then she doesn't have any moral rights to criticise or be angry with obi for supporting the freedom of nmk who is only fighting for his long marginalised igbo people.

This man was stylishly supporting terrorists; he's now openly supporting his terrorist brothers.
This is the same man who expects sane Nigerians to vote for him?

You have got to be kiddin' me. He should be ashamed of himself. But he has no shame; he lies with convenience, hypocrisy is his second name.

Buhari and tinubu were sympathetic to bokoharam and even rehabilitated most of them. undecided kiss

There was NO NEED to arrest Nnamdi Kanu. That is a Fact!!!.

worst case scenario dialogue with him or ignore him. Why did the army invade his house and begin the escalation of tensions and violence?

Why not since Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC is comfortable with doing this already?

Maybe this is about Buhari’s 97% versus 5% analogy huh

Peaceful procession? Are you ok this morning? Why do you people just lie without blinking an eye and expect people to believe you? Same Kanu that was ordering his foot criminals to go and kill and destroy properties? Videos and audios full everywhere.

He hasn’t got the intelligence. To start with if he had kept quiet for the last 2 years he would be more popular than now. The aura of mystery would surround him and many would believe he is indeed the solution to our problems. But he felt grabbing the headlines would make him more popular but instead it has opened the eyes of many of his supporters to the true nature of the man. Just read the coment in the Twitter post. There are many like that.
You must be a joker if you think by obi disassociating himself from nmk he will automatically be allowed to get the presidency on a platter if that's the case igbo politicians like joe igbokwe, rochas, umahi and others who has been working against nmk freedom and igbo political interests would have long been rewarded with the presidency.

Back in the days of former President Goodluck Jonathan, politics was deeply involved in many of the crises — from the kidnapping of the Chibok girls to the frequent bombings in the North. I’m 100% sure much of it was political.

There’s a strong possibility that what’s happening now is similar — they may eventually release him, because the people in government are very powerful.

Do you remember during M.K.O. Abiola’s time, when there were talks of his release after discussions with the federal government? And then, after some months, look at what happened to him.
History never forgets.

Have you ever heard that any Boko haram leader has been arrested? Don't they have leaders? Yes their fighters get arrested, but what happens after that? They get released, so what's stopping them from rehabilitating and releasing MNK too?

How many people will the government call for round able if that's how the government solve this kind of issues.



One thing is sure as you choose to look the other way while your kinsmen hold your parents and brothers to ransom just because you stay in Lagos.


Keep tapping Kanu on the back till the day your aunt will call to inform you that your mother has been Kidnapped,Rape or Killed that moment will shape your life to understand things better, for now keep cheering him up.



God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

If the leadership is not blessed with intelligence, it should not be expected to be seen in the followers. Hence your post is excused for lacking in the subject matter of intelligence.
