Freemancipation:
Even if he was offered such a deal. He didn't take it at the end. That's what matters. They want to separate Igbo communities because of oil. That's why some clans are found both in the SE and SS

Biafra should be achieved even with the only 5 states. it's not a must that Biafra should be with Rivers and Benue. Ebonyi is known for Agriculture and other parts of the South East states have oil as well. So what's holding him?

Freemancipation:
How is that his fault? Did he create the exploitive system in place? Last I checked, there is no resource control laws in Nigeria. What do you want Nnamdi Kanu to do? Do want him to go rob CBN?

They said Biafra will address injustice right?

Nnamdi Kanu is a prince and his father a king who receive salary from the govt, why can't tell abia govt to invest in Ukwa since the oil revenue coming to the state was found in Ukwa and not Umuahia?

Do you need any other law to know the truth and do what is right?

Akissani:
are you normal at all?....Igbo speaking people in Benue?

Benue State is named after the Benue River and was formed from the former Benue-Plateau State in 1976, along with Igala and some part of Kwara State. In 1991 some areas of Benue state (mostly Igala area), along with areas in Kwara State, were carved out to become part of the new Kogi State. Igbo people are found in the boundary areas of Ebonyi State and Enugu State in local government areas like the Obi, Oju etc.

Samuel Ortom is the governor and Benson Abounu is the deputy governor. Both are All Progressives Congress (APC) members.[3]

Benue state has three universities: Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue State University, Makurdi, and University of Mkar, Mkar, Gboko. It has two polytechnics: Benue State Polytechnic, Ugbokolo and Fidei polytechnic, Gboko as well as the Akperan Orshi college of Agriculture Yandev. There are about four colleges of education which are Federal College of Education Agasha, College of Education Oju, College of Education Kastina Ala. Benue State as it exists today is a surviving legacy of an administrative entity which was carved out of the protectorate of northern Nigeria at the beginning of the twentieth century. The territory was initially known as Munshi Province until 1918 when the name of its dominant geographical feature, the 'Benue River' was adopted.

The stupid guy don't know what he want.

I don't believe that Kanu said those things but if is true then the man brain should be tested. Nigeria will not never leave one state except you fight and defeat her army.

Of course a lot of gullible fucktards will believe that. They "gave" him 5 states. Charlatan and fraud pursuing relevance and empowered by touts into a messianic complex. They "gave" him....as in his father's property?
