There are better ways to seek secession, why do they allow themselves suffer ridicule and dehumanizing prisons when they know the position of the law?

Can't they just free this people and give them a second chance?

This is bad and could lead to war dont quote me but why the secret trial

They should be allowed... If they so desire to have Biafra, as human we hv lot of issues to attend to. Atleast if the go, we can handle our issues objectively. We seize to be a country where some people think criminals are being prosecuted because they are from a particular region and not cos of their criminal act.

they look different.. remain with other fellow Nigerians and have a rest of mind now, this kind wahala... Chai!!!!!

Nigeria still have a long way to go for the aspirations and wishes of the average
Nigerian to be actualized. Just imagine our justice system still backward as it was
in the beginning. I know its easy to blame the government for all of our woes but
the truth is, we all are responsible for it. Take it or leave it.

ydass:
See the face of the Biafran's. Cowards!

Shouting Biafra up and down see where they end
No swag...

Lol.. I laugh

freedom fighting must start from somewhere you fool must understand that
Biafra must stand and you better die now because i know you don't want to witness it. idiot.

Texcoco:
Let it be an open trial so we know where to start from,whether an insurrection or systemic economic infrastructure sabotage using these men as reference symbols...

See who dey talk of insurrection?

You think it's by coming to Nairaland to type in blue fonts?

You fit break bottle sef?

Oloshi!

they deserve secret trial and execution cos igbo elites abandoned them. igbos in one voice supposed to call for their release before election cos Hausa called for the release of El Mustafa.

j

They call 4 it

There will still be Biafra maybe not now. There are some foreign arms to recognizes them secretly and they could be sponsored too.

The Op is just being mischevious, the bold part is the crux of the pronouncements and nothing like judgement or sentence was mentioned ...

He did a good job of enlightenment , it is always necessary to give the background to the story so that readers can make up their mind

Remarkable:


they should be tried and dealt the strong arm of justice. The moment you resort to any form of violence, you lose my support, I do not subscribe to that at all, I deem it to be the last resort after genuine efforts have been made... even Ojukwu that went ahead to declare Biafra an independent nation (under God? lol) still is being chastised by many for not seeking further peaceful options; but I feel he did enough, esp the Aburi meeting which Gown reniged upon..

I must also add these guys are not the type of people we need a thousand miles near the corridors of power in Biafra... you seize the broadcasting station, make a broadcast.. and then what? That means Biafra is now in existence and independent? Lack of following your thoughts to a conclusive end and even options per each possible outcome is what a smart person should do... I am glad they failed and are being prosecuted.

I have no doubt that at the appropriate time, as far as the sun rises from the east... Biafra will rise. Maka Chukwu.

If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.
Malcolm X

No oppressor will ever give you freedom without violence I bet you don't know that.

Wow! Over a year now. This is getting serious

Why are they not clothed? Must suspect be on boxers only? When will this madness stop?

Ilekeh:
They look like their dirty ashy azz flatty brothers in the politics section.

You're a jobless and the most useless bastard on this forum Igbos must be giving u terrible nightmares cos u never let a day pass without spewing those tribal hate words from ur buccal. Re.tarded lilliput

If them want their own country make una give them na.

This report is mischievous!
The suspects are being tried for allegedly conspiring to commit arson against a media station.
They are not being tried for being secessionists.

Seeking for a referendum is not a crime!
Lower Niger is not treason.

This people won't stop this biafra nonsense

But how come the topic says that the men are to be sentenced when they have not been tried?

I reiterate that the charge against these men is conspiring to commit arson.

If I'm pro one Nigeria or pro Ecowas and in my campaign, I burn someone's property, the law will be against me.

Mynd44:
Since June 2014?

Can't a deal be arrived at? They plead guilty and get time already served, warnings, a repeated offense means a longer jail term and send these men home.


This is just pointless as we are just trying to make an example but it is just being unfair. What they did was not right but seriously they have been for almost a year now.

What exactly did they do wrong?
I hope that you're aware that United nations General Assembly in 1960 recognises right to self-determination .

Why is the Nigerian state forcing everyone to stay under one roof even as the union is not a comfortable one?

When a people genuinely agitate for their rights and you clamp them down ,it will only lead to armed struggle and any internal insurrection lasts years if not centuries.

Let the people choose through a referendum and let peace reign.

No matter what happens Biafra must stand.
And the way i have seen things moving in this zoo
war is inevitable.

The arsonists will stop but Lower Niger/Biafra can be campaigned for as much as one Nigeria can.

Nigeria signed a treaty with the UN to allow self determination of indigenous people.

Err...the attacked and attempted to take over a radio station...but that has happened and passed, I am sure a deal can and should be reached.
