It appears to me that Prof. Sagay is prepared to dance ashilogu in the market square. For a reputable lawyer like Sagay to make unfounded imputations against the Igbo ethnic group is worrisome to say the least.

Perhaps, old age might be having it toll on the prof but may I remind him that the recent agitation for a Biafran state and their demands doesn't reflect the voice of the hoi polloi of Ndi Igbo.

To allege that the recent agitation of Biafra by some misguided youths is as a result of Igbos losing out on Buhari's kitchen cabinet is akin to saying the entire Igbo people are haters of Buhari and didn't vote for him. This we know is false.

Prof. Sagay may be trying to warm his way into the presidents heart but it shouldn't be at the detriment of a people. He should be mindful of what he says lest he loses the respect and regard by learned Nigerians.

Am a proud Igbo although not particularly inclinded to Nnamdi Kanu's style.
However this thing called Sagay had the effrontery to insult the whole Igbo race. A great & mighty people that are only unfortunate, very unfortunate to find ourselves in an incredibly disfunctional country called Nigeria that is stifling the mighty potentials of a great people.
For his effrontery, he should be ready for what is coming to him.
He can never hide. He will pay for his sins.
Someone should tell the coward that there is no need crying that he is receiving threats.
He might have expressed his so called freedom of speech. But it shall dawn on him that there is no guarantee of freedom after speech.
Who else would accommodate your ego thriving, political naive tribal sentiment? Tell me? If not Nigeria, which African country would stand the stench of arrogance and hatred that oozed out of that region? Hardly you make comments without the inclusion of threat or insult Mr. "lnclinded". Maybe you have not realised how fed up by the second Nigerians are over your egocentric remarks. The worst is that, you lots contribute nothing to the economy.

Take a look at economic index on states with the most contributed GDP to the govt, and you will shock that the South east doesn't rank among the first three. So, where is your bursting about being mightier than thou. Maybe your departure will save us international disgrace that we have to cope with over the years. Even the Niger Delta that has served this nation until now, is not as vocal and senile like you leeches.

Ipob chest beaters you see what you've done to the great Igbo nation?
Her once glorious story is now a subject of mockery and a laughing stock amongst mortals.

We've warned you guys that resentment, hatred and insult does not pay but you refused to heed rather you choose to die with it.

You call Nigeria and Nigerians 'zoo' and animals' respectively so what do you expect?
Retrace your steps before it is too late.
Keep deceiving yourself.
What made Igbo great in this contraption call Nigeria where it has been at the receiving end. No good road, no good developmental planning, The entire Igbo land no international airport, you depend on the Lagos ports for your international business, you are seen as infidel and untrustworthy to handle the highest position in the country they say you belong and so on.
To make things worst you place the pictures of these political jobbers who have help to ruin Igboland and its people some of them now are being humiliated by their Hausa masters.

As a lawyer of high repute, he ought to know that what Biafrans are agitating for is contained in international law- the right of indigenous people to self-determination. Many Nigerians don't understand why KANU chose IPOB as the name of his organisation. The charge and bail lawyer is only cowardly! Ignore the POO!
Re: Anti-Igbo Comments, Sagay Alleges Threat To Life, Raises Alarm. by Duru1(m): 11:58pm On Jan 09, 2016
Most Nigerians are full of it. Who made Itse Sagay a constitutional lawyer or legal expert on constitutional matters? Which case that bordered on constitutionality has been won by this joker named Itse Sagay? Which constitution does the goofy Itse Sagay hold its expertise? I guess most Nigerians are not referencing Nigerian constitution because Nigeria has no working constitution therefor the goon called Itse Sagay is not a constitutional lawyer.

Prof. Sagay goofed bruv. As a constitutional and seasonal lawyer he should have known that the recent agitation for Biafra doesn't reflect the larger population of Igbos.

Nnamdi Kanu and his clandestine radio outfit has been in operation long before Buhari became president and the recent Biafra protest is mainly to seek for his release. There could still have been protest if he was incarcerated by GEJ.

I'm not holding brief for the injudicious protesters but they represent only a little fraction of Igbos and shouldn't be a criterion or touchstone to imply that Ndi Igbo as a people are antagonistic towards Buhari coz they lost out in crucial portfolio in his government.

What Prof. Sagay imputation means is that, Buhari intentionally sidelined Igbos from his government, for whatever reasons, and suggesting that mr. President is against national cohesion, he's a factional leader and sowing the seed of division in a country that should be united. I'm sure and want to believe Buhari doesn't share his view.

Is this one among the Learned?




See how tribalistic resentment can reduce a man to rubbles.

No learned Igbo man have time for you. So better register a moniker on Nairaland and join forces with Barcanista to engage your colleagues of like minds to debate the trash you opined.

May be, who knows, seun and the mods will ban you for insulting fellow Nairalander if you misbehave and lose your civility.
Dreamer! Just look at her signature. Which potential president will marry a vulgar woman like you? You insult almost evrybody with opinions contrary to yours. First lady in biafra right?

They are still mad that Jonathan lost and Buhari is not giving them the kind of patronage they enjoyed under GEJ.
what patronage are you talking about? dredging of river Niger? Construction/ rehabilitation of roads? building new schools? Youth empowerment? creating new states, LGA's,
please enlighten me.

I quite agree and disagree with u. Radio Biafra has been in existence before bubu's emergence as the president of federal republic, but wasn't far from being an 'anechoic chamber',then.

yes,prof sagay was unprofessional in his statement.i guess he was pushed to the wall. He could not tolerate the level of insults hauled at the presidency by the ibos.
I can categorically tell you that 89.999990% of iiib.os are not happy seeing bubu as the presido of the republic.

Constitutional lawyer and Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Anti- Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN) has raised alarm over what he called the insults and death threats he has received from Igbo people for expressing his opinion on the renewed agitation for Biafra republic during President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.

Speaking with Daily Independent on Saturday, the erudite legal practitioner said rather than threatening him and the peace of the entire country, those who have contrary views to his should engage him in a debate and present their views in a civilised and refined manner.

Sagay, who said he stood by his comments that the the Igbo having lost out at the federal level decided to resurrect Biafra so as to get appointments they don’t deserve under Buhari  also added that he will not take the threats lightly because according to him “they have serious security implications”.

“All I did was expressed my views on a national issue. If they have contrary views, they should come forward with it instead of using abusive words particularly threatening people’s lives. Infact, they are not only threatening me but the entire country that we shall see what happens whenever they start whatever they are planning”.

” It is a very irrational process and environment in which to operate. I thought we were engaging in a debate”.

“Little did I know I was dealing with desperadoes who will not tolerate any other views that are not consistent with theirs in their headlong determination to cause confusion in the country. It is very sad”.

“I won’t take the threats lightly because most of the things said to me has serious security implications and I will do something about it” he said.

So with this ugly face you deserve your own appointment.you were the so called lawyer that said gej should confess or apologise. I dont blame you afterall you need to protect your stomach by singing the legal songs you know.you dont talk down on an entire tribe like that.A careful I study of your picture depicts you as one with leaking mouth and even with your SAN you sound hungry.Clap for yourself sagay abi sagamu.you truly deserve your sycophancy job. **** Nigeria knows the truth, she cannot survive without Ndi Igbo.Saga abi sagem get that into your big head.Even with your appointment, I can bet buhari doesn't even trust you including your tribe so do your job and shut your trap.
Sagay you said we lost out at the federal level thereby contradicting your boss who during the recent media chat mentioned the appointments of the ibos at federal level.At least you have just confirmed that the ministerial postions are inconsequential.
Sagay the LAW himself.

You really deserve more than a death threat for leveling such a weighty allegation against Igbos, out of the frustrations you have found yourself in Nigeria. Your recent outburst has more than meet the eye as Igbos are not the cause of your frustration and yet you choose to attack them out of hatred.
And Nnamdi deserves a pat on the back for calling Buhari a tyrant? Right.
