Biafra Protest "Completely Legitimate" - Nigerian Government by Monimatic(op): 1:40pm On Dec 06, 2015

The federal government has described the agitations by some Nigerians, largely in the South-East, as “completely legitimate.”

There have been mass protests by Igbos in South-East Nigeria for an independent country of Biafra.

The protests have sometimes gone violent with reported deaths of about six people, allegedly at the hands of security officials

The protests got worse following the arrest and prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu, the promoter of Radio Biafra, a pirate radio the Nigerian government accuses of spreading hate and violence.

The Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, who spoke on the agitations, however said the basic cause of it was “economic” which would have gotten worse but for the efforts of the current administration.

Speaking at a News Agency of Nigeria Forum in Abuja at the weekend, Mr. Mohammed appealed to leaders in the country not to exploit the economic situation to further destabilise Nigerians.

He also urged Nigerian leaders to be courageous enough to come out and defend the unity of the country even though “in the short term it might be politically fashionable for them to be on the side of some agitators.”

The minister, who noted that current agitations by citizens were “completely legitimate,” assured of the Federal Government’s commitment to strengthening the economy.

I booked space to comment but remembered I will be banned again unjustly ..
I dedicate this space to Alhaji Lai Lalasticlala .. a jolly good fellow ..

The jolliest fellow around.

By the the way, Lai Mohammed is right.
Hunger and economic hardship can lead to many things. After all a hungry man is an angry man.

I have a prophecy....

I was in a trance and I saw Buhari feeling disappointed with himself because he is not fulfilling his promises to Nigerians. He has good intentions but the cabal around him won't let him.

All of a sudden he has serious problem with his party men and the cabal. He then saw that his time is up and if he eventually dies, the same cabal will take over.

He then decided to call for a referendum and divide the country for good

Again Lai Mohamed has failed to identify the root cause of the problem.

The structure of Nigeria and its governance is the root cause of our problem!

APC must stop papering the edges and implement the last confab report!

True federalism and devolution is the only way to secure the unity of Nigeria and its economic future.

If you know it's legitimate, why sent JTF to instigate violence by killing protesters?

Until Nigerian Government condemns the killing of nine innocent Nigerians by the security forces the government is barbaric and dictatorship to say the least.

That is exactly what we have been saying. Self determination is legitimate anywhere in the world. You think these guys are fools not to know that we ask for our rights . grin

Even Lie for the first time became truth grin

.

Biafra will happen, it is only a matter of time.

1. It is only a mad man that will keep doing same thing and expect a different result.

2. If I will have to provide for myself all what a government should give me by right, then that government is failed.

3. The Ndigbo have long past negotiation with Nigeria, all we want is Biafra.

4. Must it take International organizations like OECD to pressure you to talk?
