Why they’re sweating on ekweremadu’s case is beyond my understanding. He was in the senate for so long in the country and no good health care system, no good amenities for the prisoners, is God not 2derful?

Happy Sunday fellas!
He's one of them, political class and elites
Re: Ekweremadu: South East Leaders Divided Over Planned Transfer To Nigerian Prison by TyroneP(m): 8:22am On Nov 16, 2025
Speaking on the matter with Sunday PUNCH, the President of the Igbo National Council, Chilos Godsent, questioned the motive and timing of the government’s request, warning against what he described as “political manipulation” or “vendetta” disguised as compassion.
He accused former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration of failing to protect Ekweremadu during his legal ordeal in the UK.
Godsent argued that the negligence allowed British authorities to try a sitting senator of the Federal Republic


Responding to the bolded text:
Why would Godsent representing a socio-cultural group glorify crime? An organised crime for that matter. A crime that all the countries in the western world have been fighting for decades. Even if Buhari-led administration had intervened, it would have further dented the image of the country. The elements of the crime (actus reus and men's rea) had been established. Let him face the consequences. That will make him a better man and that's one of the goals of penology (study of punishment).

All because ekweremadu loves his daughter...... fatherly love is strong too
The love for your own kids that doesn't allow you to show compassion for the kids of poor parents around you and make you want to take the advantage of their situation is a terrible love. The same selfishness that drives them to run Nigeria aground

I don't pity him because they don't pity masses. It's about themselves and families.

The tribe are their own worst enemy. They love to hat£ and £nvy other tribes that are successful than themselves.

Even among themselves there are intense competition to outdo each others.

Here is a president making efforts to rescue their elite and high profile brother from prison through influence and diplomacy, and here are they throwing different impediments on the way against the project.

What political influence do they think the president seeks to gain through Ekweremadu in their region that Tinubu has not already gained without him? At least 3 of their governors are staunch allies of Tinubu and his party. To really consider it, how much is their total votes that Tinubu will go all out to win it? He won without it in his first term, and this time it is almost a shoo-in for him to win.

When Igboho was thrown into prison in Benin Republic, the whole Y0ruba race use every available influence to rescue him from it, even though he serves no viable purpose to their aspirations, except publicity.

MNK would have been out of prison if they are determined to help him, but no, they are only interested in public spite against the government.
Hmmmm.

Bragging as usual, Igbo is the biggest single ethnic population in naija, if Tinubu get quarter of their numbers is something, just that most of the population don't vote

Many criminals in Politics in Nigeria. That's why they can't travel to some countries abroad frequently as expected of them.. They tread carefully..

Of course, they'll do this for Ekweremadu cos the main aim is to donit for the jailed fraud monarch ...so donot for another tribe first so that when they request for the monarchs release, no one will shout tribalism

Yoruba newspapers and their Propaganda.
South East leaders!?
Who has time for Ekweremmadu in the SE?
Dude has already announced his retirement feom politics before he was jailed.
Not even that popular amongst the igbos outside Enugu state, so why would anyone want to make a show about his ordeal?
Re: Ekweremadu: South East Leaders Divided Over Planned Transfer To Nigerian Prison by Jayhome24: 9:18am On Nov 16, 2025
Divided over what na? Which kind talk be dis?

I'm sure it's those same people that set him up that are not happy seen him being ttransfer back home.

Let's get this right and stop being too foolish as blacks and Afrian. Can British or US or German allow someone of Ekweremadu status enter jail in Nigeria or any African country regardless his crime? Look at how US ran all sorts of propaganda against us just to send the criminal Binance CEO back to US and what happened next? Trump freed him.

I don't really care what Ekweremadu did he is a father looking for way to safe her daughter and that was used against him and he has served part of his offense sentence so he should be transfer back home pls I don't care what anybody want to say in contrary pls hold it to yourself because if I'm Tinubu I won't listen to anyone I will do all it takes to bring him back home whoever not please with it can head to court.

Tinubu is trying to help now the same Ekweremadu people blocking it then later if Tinubu do it for one of his people in the future these same people will tag I'm Yorubanization or Yoruba president.

Their problem is that it is Tinubu that is negotiating for Ekeremadu’s return to Nigeria, and not Peter Obi. They grew up with bitterness and hatred for the Yorubas, that is why His has kept them perpetually under the Yorubas and Hausa/Fulanis. When you hate when God loves, you become God’s enemy

Re: Ekweremadu: South East Leaders Divided Over Planned Transfer To Nigerian Prison by WelcomeToBiafra: 9:40am On Nov 16, 2025
Jesus ( Prophet Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) and Barabbas were two prisoners presented to the crowd ( corrupt Igbo politicians) by the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who chose to have the notorious murderer Barabbas (EKWEREMADU) released instead of Jesus. Barabbas was a leader of a rebellion who was guilty of sedition and murder, while Jesus was a religious and spiritual figure whose followers viewed him as innocent. This event is significant in Christianity because it is interpreted as a symbolic substitution where Jesus, (Prophet Nnamdi Kanu) the innocent one, was crucified in place of Barabbas, ( EKWEREMADU) the guilty one.

WriterX:
You keep repeating the “if it were your family member” line because you don’t have a real argument. Nobody is against helping him — the point is that government actions can be both helpful and politically motivated at the same time. Mature people can hold two truths together; it’s not my fault nuance confuses you.

And no, everything isn’t “politics” just because you say so. A treaty ignored for 10+ years suddenly being revived for one elite politician is not normal governance — it’s selective intervention, and pretending not to see that doesn’t make you loyal, it just makes you gullible.

You weren’t “talking to me,” but you posted it publicly, so expect public responses. If you don’t want your logic checked, don’t bring it outside your diary.

You wanted emotion; I’m giving you facts. And the fact is simple:
Helping him is fine. Acting like the government suddenly grew a conscience after a decade of silence is what exposes you — not me — as the one who didn’t think before typing.
Because it is politically motivated, Ekweremadu should remain there?
You people are pure evil.
