Every sane Igbo person must stay away from this trap they are setting.

Stay away from any protest of this nature.

I love Sowores energy but this seems like a misplaced priority. The NK guy is a preacher of hate to say the least.
The preachers of hate is your kinsmen, demolishing Igbos properties in South west, renaming streets named after the Igbo's, asking Igbos to leave Lagos and South West. Are you not supposed to be happy with Biafran agitation, so that the Igbos will have their own country and leave your South West??

I believe nnamdi should face justice and do his time but not be kept indefinitely without a conclusive trial
He aided and abetted in the killing of Igbo people and destroyed the economy of the region with the sit at home orders. His enforcers killed some pole who came out to make a living
Only Yoruba men, destroying Igbo properties in South west, asking them to leave Lagos, renaming streets because it has Igbo names. Still are the ones telling us how we've destroyed our land, from far away Ogbomosho.
Tomorrow leave our land, but same people are so afraid of Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB and Simon ekpa, if you don't want us in your enclaves, why are y'all against these men??

Who and when will the government be held responsible for innocent lives taken violently by the security agencies operating in the SE. Let bring everyone to justice including government. Note I don't support killing of anyone by anybody or any group.

Justice Umar may have used his judicial authority wrongfully.

This so because the protest would have already taken place before the hearing on Tuesday.

This is contrary to the "ex parte motion" which should have been looked into.

Of what use will the hearing amount to if the "offense" had already been committed?


Well, protest or no protest, MNK must face his trial until a verdict is reached.

The police and the DSS must act to prevent and preempt any attempt at the breakdown of law and order which is their constitutional responsibility in the first place.

Now that the judiciary has given a curious judgment, you won't hear "the judiciary is compromised", "they have been bribed", "the judiciary is under the executive", bla bla bla!

Of course, when you were doing it in south east in 2015, against unarmed Biafran protesters, with just their flags, shooting them with live ammunition, you never knew you were creating swarm of people, that have the right to defend themselves. Today y'all have become expert in south east about how our agitators are terrorising y'all.

Start it and tomorrow when they defend themselves, the next thing is that they're terrorists. While the real tèrrorîsts are the security, the world's most dangerous and Canada's designated terrorist (APC)

but he predicted correctly what is happening now in the country

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Kanu said many things that were false and dangerous — he threatened national peace with conspiracies like

“Buhari is dead and replaced by Jubril from Sudan.”

Nigeria’s problems are bigger than Nnamdi Kanu. He should remain behind bars.

Can you tell your powerful security to go to Kwara state, Zamfara state, Borno, Sokoto Kaduna where bandits are now in charge of many local governments. As usual, y'all get's èrection when it comes to civilians with placards.

Dangerous things like Buhari is Dead and replaced with Jubril, so because of that he will be sentence to dèath or in prison. Makachi, staying in this country with people of lów IQ is really nauseating to me as an Igbo man. How can I be in same country with this kind of people.
Same people don't have the balls, to talk about Bandits, that have Taken over many local governments in Kwara, Zamfara, Sokoto, Kastina etc

Same people that put an effigy of Jonathan in casket, different kind of insult prior to that election of 2015

Whats the aim of this so called free Nnamdi kanu protest? This people killed Dora akuyili husband because he went to pick an aware for his late wife in UNN. They have killed many people in south east and you want government to release their leader. Imagine if Ikpa was convicted in Nigeria?
Federal government should close his case and send the abino to prison.
Your English is blunder.

Exactly! People seem to forget the countless innocent lives lost because of this same violent movement. How can anyone justify freeing someone whose followers turned the Southeast into a war zone? The government owes justice to victims, not sympathy to those who sponsored chaos. Let the law take its full course.

1. False claims aren’t harmless
shouting that “Buhari is dead and replaced by Jubril” isn’t political theater, it’s destabilizing misinformation. When a leader uses wild conspiracies to delegitimize state institutions, the result is panic, violence and fractured trust, not debate. That’s why such rhetoric is prosecuted, not because someone’s fragile, but because words there have consequences.
2. You can’t conflate categories to dodge responsibility.
Banditry in Zamfara and conspiratorial agitation in the Southeast are both national problems, but they’re different problems with different actors and different remedies. Pretending one excuses the other is intellectual cowardice. Pointing out banditry doesn’t absolve someone who incites violence or spreads dangerous lies.
3. Selective outrage exposes hypocrisy.
If you condemn effigies or political insults, be consistent — condemn all acts that endanger lives or stoke hatred, whoever does them. Don’t posture tough on one front while celebrating lawlessness on another.
4. Insults about “low IQ” or attacking entire groups are poison.
Name-calling weakens your position and turns a political argument into tribalism. If you want to change minds, use facts and logic — not broad-brush contempt.
5. Rule of law, not mob rule.
If leaders foment violence or knowingly spread falsehoods that put people at risk, they should face legal scrutiny. If security forces fail against bandits, they should be held accountable too. Both demands are valid and both can be made without descending into vitriol.

Stop hiding behind anger and double standards. If you want to be taken seriously, argue consistently, stick to facts, and drop the tribal slurs, they only prove your point by undermining it.

On many issues, I agree with you, but on this one, I am choosing to sit it out. My reason is simple: Nnamdi Kanu’s actions in the Southeast have jeopardized lives and destroyed property, turning entire communities into chaos.

The protests and agitations he spearheaded haven’t produced any tangible or achievable objective, other than normalizing unrest and forcing everyone to tolerate disorder.

He abused everyone indiscriminately, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, Muslims, Christians,Igbos( those that didnt subscribe to his delusions) no one was spared from his provocations. And while calls for his release may appeal to principles of civil liberties, it’s impossible to ignore the human and economic toll his movement has inflicted on the region.


So while I support lawful dissent in general, in this case, the history of destruction makes it hard to stand behind the current protest.

If you doubt listen to how he took a shot at Christians on this Facebook link attached. Nnamdi kanu was out to just cause chaos. The worst move Tinubu can make is to Free Nnamdi Kanu.
