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.
The nigerian military started the unprovoked killings it's a well documented fact by reputable organisations like amnesty international. Igbos are naturally peaceful people they don't have the history of attacking and killing innocent people without any reason.

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
Imagine if Nnamidi Azikwe had not fought Awolowo to remove succession clause from the constitution.
The stress of lefelendum and the fight would have not been necessary

Pls go and bury your head in shame. Peaceful who? Which fake Amnesty International are you talking about? Nigerian Amnesty International or the reeal deal? You are not talking to an uninformed person here.

Kanu openly solicited money, told his terrorists criminals to go and kill security forces, to burn down properties, and many other crimes. He solicited money to buy arms to fight the Nigerian government and the people.
He's lucky, reall,y that Nigeria is such a mess. A terrorist like him should have been tried and executed lons time ago.
When you allow trial to drag for this long, people like you will try to re write history.

Just wait for it, Obi will release another statement denying he ever made such claims, and his mob who are praising him now, would again say he never said so, that it was APC supporters that twisted what he said. Bookmark this! grin

Imagine obi saying these? I said it this evil man is the main sponsor of ipob, ugm and esn that is why he has never criticised them but obi hear me well we won't release Kanu and we will never allow you to win any election in Nigeria till you die.

Go and free him if you have the power. Loser!!!

I think you all see the Peter Obi that wants to be Nigerian President calling for a release of a man who to all intents and purposes was unleashing terrors not only on other regions but even his own people. Now, it’s clear what kind of President Peter Obi would have been

Bro in every post i open here you I see you dropping bitter and hateful comments. I really don't know what you gain by doing this or if you are being paid to do this, then at what cost? For your sanity and mental health i will suggest you take a break. I read where you said you started programming in QBASIC this places you above 40 years of age. Aren't you too old for this? Bro at this point in your life you should be spending your time doing something more productive. Think about it.

When Atiku said KANU should be released, it was crickets... No noise, schtum by the laptop Boyz. When Obi said he was not supposed to be arrested in the first place, all hell is breaking loose.

If you can have dialogues with a rifle carrying boko haram terrorists or release previously jailed killers, then you had no right to detain Kanu.

Certain terms are “mate” ? You write the way you speak .

Did he call for the killing of security forces ? Did he call for the killing of other tribes ? Did ipob kill innocent Nigerians ? I remember an Igbo lady and her northern fiancé get abducted and killed on their way to see her parents . They were both in the military . The video is online showing the evil act by the ipob militants .

People died because of that man and his violent rhetorics. He should be jailed for life . If it were a military regime, there would have been an ultimate search for his remains by now.

As for Obi , I don’t blame him . His strongest base is the south east . He will never say anything that will break that support . Without the bloc Igbo voters , Obi is nothing .

Prove it. We will never allow you propaganda and fake-news lot create false narratives about Tinubu as you tried to do with Buhari Kanu, and you lot by proxy, were always lying against.

Only kids, and there are plenty of adults who are like kids in Nigeria, will fall for your "Buhari dead and replaced by Jubrin from Sudan" type of shameless lies, fake news and propaganda you people are always ready to deploy to fight dirty against those you hate.
.. what about amnesty that was given to the bandits and terrorists claiming that the bandits and terrorists are repentant bandits and repentant terrorists... amnesty given to repentant bandits and repentant terrorists whom these terrorists have attacked, killed innocent people and destroy their houses and properties and businesses and this many of victims are living in IDP camp and many have been dosplaced

To go to farm in Okijaland(even entire S/E nah impossible. Imagine adults hide under beds on Mondays.ESN,UGM,OBIDIENTS grin cheesy waka about dey molested young/old..We are doing counter protest against SOWORE/MKN angry
Sonnobax15:
lipsrsealed
This is my first time to comment on this MKN issue......But come on, what's really wrong with these people asking for his release......At least,many of us who saw and read about the massacres and destruction of lives and properties in the East are still very much alive...He even went as far as ordering his boys to destroy other regions angry. ......Even most of them asking for his release don't live in the East and they dare not travel home cuz of the fear of being dealt with by MKN boys......

But then again, everything about this country is fundamentally wrong,cuz I see no need why bandits,murderers and kidnappers should be released back to the society to the extent of granting them amnesty angry. In fact,many people who are at the helm of the affairs of this our country have currently lost their senses angry

, Lagos Ibadan media at it again. Malicious post. There was no need to arrest MNK. Immediately someone with Igbo name commented and apologised for voting PO in 2023. Lol. Tiny but can only right as for winning he can only dream it. PO has Nigerians while Tinubu abuses it's institutions.

Were boko haram leaders targeted and killed by the government ? Yes. Are the bandits getting slaughtered and targeted by the Nigerian forces? Yes . Several of their leaders have been neutralized . If after a while amnesty is offered , why not ? I don’t like it but again that is what the government does.
NK should be jailed first then amnesty can be discussed afterwards . But somehow I doubt they will accept it

This is just ur own biased opinion it doesn't in any way represents the true facts on ground, civilised climes like Kenya has ruled in court in favour of nmk if they truly sees him as a terrorist am very sure they would have definitely arrested him like they usually arrest violent terrorists in their countries. You and the nigerian govt can't be more knowledgeable than these countries that didn't arrest nmk when he was living there

Yes go listen to his interview before soldiers tried to assassinate him.



At a time he agreed for restructuring after meeting with south East Governors is some certain terms are mate, including making sea power in south south to be functioning well for easy business of people in East.



Remember when their was noise of restructuring all over Southern Nigeria, especially south west, which the North was kicking against.


But immediately Buhari sent soldiers to assassinate him and he escaped, restructuring died.


Or have you hear about restructuring since that time?

I know facts and reality means zilch to patently lawless people, ever ready to use outright lies to shore up their fundamentally flawed position , but some of us respect facts and reality.

The bolded in your post is a barefaced lie you people have begun to peddle same as your "Buhari is dead and replaced by Jubrin" lie that travelled worldwide at the speed of light.

How does anyone respect liars, and characters who show disdain for facts and reality, let alone engage them senseless back and forth?
So it must have been a loe when five thousand Boko haram were released this year?
