IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu’s theatrics really exposed how gullible and easily brainwashed some of our people can be. There’s nothing endearing about Kanu or his rhetoric. I listened to him for the first time in 2016, and I was dismayed. There was no sensible discussion, just expletives and hate speech directed at the Southwest, some Igbo leaders and the Fulani. The broadcast that day was just him insulting Yoruba pastors and threatening Kumuyi not to attend his planned crusade in Aba. His ideas about Biafra didn’t make sense, and his discussions on the subject were superficial.

Over time, I kept asking myself what the attraction was, and I couldn’t understand it. Maybe he weaponized Buhari’s nepotism and lopsided appointments to attract disillusioned people to his side.

In 2020, during EndSARS, I listened to his live broadcasts where he bragged that he would turn the Southeast into Somalia and ordered his ragtag army to attack police officers and politicians. Since 2020, hundreds of lives have been lost due to crises created by Kanu.

I find it cringe-worthy that some people from the Southeast are calling for his release. If Kanu is released without serving a prison sentence, it would be a grave injustice to the families who lost loved ones due to the actions of Kanu and the ESN.

90% of his supporters are illiterate and semi literate Masons, Okada riders, carpenter, bricklayers, mechanics etc for a reason. He sold them phantom hope of an impending Eldorado possible only in his Biafra. Until that hope is killed by telling our people the bitter truth, their support for him will never die and if he is not punished, there will be no sense of consequences, another messiah will emerge before long.

Southeast wasn't the only victims of Buhari's nepotism as such it will never be a justification for their support for the mad man.

For the unity of the nation, the court should have pardon him for the last time

It's not the place of the court to show emotions...

Or pardon him. They simply act and give verdicts based on facts and evidence.

The Court has done it's part. If the presidency now decides to pardon him then that's another talk all together.

But it's not in the place of the court to pardon. That's why the court is impartial if you remember the insignia of law is the blindfolded woman and the weighing scale ⚖️ to pass a fair and balanced judgement!

Lonestar124:

I also feel he should be pardoned by the presidency...

For the sake and unity of the country. But with very strict negotiation and conditions that he must meet and make!

I totally agree with this
I've always said Nnamdi Kanu even if given Biafra today has no idea what to do with it
He seemed more like a zealot than a realist or pragmatist that he was posing
His rhetoric was truly alarming and he deserved his punishment but I don't think he qualifies as a terrorist. Probably an irredentist or dissident or an inciter of violence or an ethnic supremacist. But putting him in same bed with the likes of Shekau or Bin Laden in my opinion is killing a fly with a sledgehammer

No!!!!

Let him serve his sentence so others will learn


No more Tribal one-sided Amnesties

There are over 300 tribes in Nigeria

The Law abiding cannot be penalised for the Lawless anymore

Can you show me your old tweets or comments condemning

1) massacre of IPOB members holding just flags for 5 years from ABA to Enugu to okigwe to port Harcourt to Onitsha

2) operation python dance treatment of Igbos, raid of Igbo villages looking for IPOB that was not even armed as at then

3) show me your comment condemning the obigbo massacre that took place in 2020 that eventually lead to the formation of ESN

There are still over 2500 Igbos in different prison today without trials...


You have no right to judge how a man reacts when you don't judge with lead to the reaction

Hypocrite like you are the people who kept Nigeria like this

In other words 90% of SE are illiterates. The biafran people u see all over the world supporting the struggle are illiterates.
The colour of your wetey is on different level. I believe u are not igbo.Why don't u go to SE and sample ur opinion. Put up voting today in SE for biafran nation.I can bet u 95% will vote in it favour like they voted against SW president in last election

Did kalu ever tell you he had intentions of ruling Biafra?

Did IPOB ever requeste for Biafra?

His rhetoric was alarming? Happy that all the recording are online

Future generations would listen and judge for themselves

Are you aware there is a clown impersonating your handle...?


I read your post and didn't believe you were the same person with a similar handle that commented on some thread I was on recently quoting me back and forth with below average reasoning at best. So I went back to check the handle now and surely I was right.

This is an intelligent post!

An unrepentant terrorist should be pardoned. Dey joke for where u dey.

U pardon a person that claims he did no wrong, then what is there to pardon?

I said negotiation...

And strict conditions.

And if he is ready to meet the terms then why not?

No matter how unrepentant he is it's his freedom that is at stake. And that has to be something he can negotiate and might be willing to bargain with!

Lonestar124:

Pardon him so he can continue to incite violence and burn down the SE? He is lucky he got life in Jail and should spend at least 20 years before the contemplation of any pardon.

The courts even showed emotions by not invoking the death penalty.

Anyone that listens to his posts on YouTube Biafra Radio, will conclude this man deserves prison time.

Even Nelson Mandela accepted his 27 years prison time as a young terrorist fighting apartheid in the 1960’s. He came out a changed man in 1990, & even won a noble peace prize, so nothing the terrorist Nnamdi Kanu is doing that is new.

Let him go & serve his prison sentence in peace, u do the crime, u must do the time.

There is a consequence for every action.

What exactly has Kanu done for the Igbos? Can you list one positive thing he has done that people like you suck up to him so bad?
I will list more than 10 ways he has destabilized the SE and caused the deaths of innocent Igbos. Like I said, he is lucky to be alive.

I am not usually on NL and just logged in as I have lots of things to say about this MNK case.

A convicted terrorist has no negotiation powers.

For every action there is an equal & opposite reaction, who will pardon such an arrogant person with no remorse, did u see his behavior in court yesterday?

The man needs to be in a cage in the zoo.

No. He didn't tell me. Did he tell you how he intended for the Biafra of his dreams to run?
What was ipob requesting for?
If telling people to kill soldiers and policemen or threatening a pastor to not visit the SE is not alarming to you I don't know what you qualify you as

95% might vote for a separation, even me I support separation but not the way Kanu is going about it, he will only lead ndigbo to another needless war while his family remain ensconced in the warmth of the UK.
People like Kanu and Ekpa have no rights to determine the destinies of millions of ndigbos. Ojukwu tried something along this line and Igbos are yet to recover from the needless Biafran war.
Kanu should rot in jail.

Why don't u tell us what u and your family has done just for ur village.
Then I can tell u what he has done for igbo. Standing alone for biafran struggle is a big doing

No, I’ve seen a lot of educated ones among them, most of his supporters are into three categories, first is lack of enlightenment, second one are just gullible people, then some others are due to poverty because they were told their poverty will end when Biafra is actualized.

I think I listened to one of his broadcast in 2021 for a few seconds but I asked person to off it because his utterances were crude and uncultured and venomous. Even if we want to leave Nigeria it has to be in a peaceful way. I’ve complained and advised a lot of his supporters to stop listening to Kanu instead they get angry., my friend who went to Nigeria back then got launched for mere advice and he escaped because he was a rich and respected around that area, he told me so that I can close my mouth when their feeding themselves with Kanu fantasies.

Sometimes I wonder if Kanu was not raised in Nigerian or he’s just being ignorant with his agitation process, because he should have choose his fight wisely as an Igbo man knowing our history in this evil country. we all know it’s a matter of time before they will get him. Have you ever wondered how Nigeria government knew about his trip to Kenya?

My only issue with Nigerian government is the hash and bias judgement. 20 or 15 years would have been fine. The life imprisonment is a joke


Sometimes I feel like my people who spent most of their entire lives in the southeast and then straight to abroad don’t understand how dangerous Nigeria is. Those who are born or spent youth age in other regions are more equipped to understand how Nigeria works. Nigeria does not work like a normal country. My people should understand this and vote based on our interest and not to make Nigeria better and work like normal countries. This is why we are hated

Stop looking for the country to work, this is what North and Yoruba has been doing.

This is my sincere advice.

He is the leader of IPOB. What do you think is the purpose of that position?

My family participated in the civil war and it is a big honor and never a needles war.So we should wait for ur inconsequential family to determine the destiny of Igbos.Why don't u mentioned ur family name and mark so we can compare with his and that of ojukwu.

He has insulted the entire Black race; and that includes his praise-singers!

Streetinvestor2:

Me and my family have never caused the death of anyone in the SE. Kanu and IPOP have been responsible for countless death and unrest in the SE. Lots of military and police personnel have been killed on instructions from Kanu.
My father and uncles fought in the useless Biafra war. Ojukwu should have been executed as well for starting a war that she'd the blood of millions of Igbos.

brain54:

For the sake and unity of the country. But with very strict negotiation and conditions that he must meet and make!

you people are just looking for trouble with post like this
Release who for what nah?

The same zoo cage he was strongly about...


What an irony.

There might be a possibility of his willingness to change and be repentant though. That action can equally produce an equivalent opposite reaction.

It's something to consider if it would likely deescalate the already tensed and palpitable situation in the SE.

I think they are more advantages in that than the opposite. If he is willing to meet those strict conditions.

We are talking about his life freedom here. Dude might even be willing to be used as Mr one Nigeria ambassador or play a more subtle role in that direction if his ego would let him!

The 3 million Igbos that died, what are you going to tell them? Ojukwu took a rash decision based solely on impulsive emotions void of rational thinking and the whole Ndigbo paid the price. The foolish Ojukwu ran away with his family while my uncle was dragged into the civil was as a child.

Kanu's rants and vitroil will only worsen the plights of Nidigbo in Nigeria.
