Karlman:
THIS WRITER MUST HAVE FELL FROM HIS MOTHER'S BACK AS A BABY

Obi1kenobi:
Interesting. May I know when you took a poll to determine who are the "tiny few" and who are the "overwhelming majority". You expect productive, enterprising, busy Igbos all across the country who are opposed or indifferent to the agitations of unruly mobs to gather on the streets making empty noise?

ofai:
Keep shifting the goal post. Were your likes not busy calling IPOBians "Touts"? Calling kanu a "useful idiot"? What did you do?

Hypocritical coward.

sheyinoni:
Yes we are, but I told u who I give cash to when I have u are a man like me bro I only help less privileges KIDS.
Hope we are still friends though

Obi1kenobi:
Really? What has he achieved? Rousing touts all over Igbo land? Tompolo and Asari Dokubo did the same. They're billionaires now with mansions, private jets and yachts and building universities while their hungry devotees are still impoverished touts.
That your poor education can't grasp simple English is not me "impressing" myself. Okpo.

Kanu educated and informed? So what is his educational background? That he impresses gullible zombies like you doesn't make him impressive. To the rest of us sane folks, he's a blabbering tout. And a delusional person that claims the government "gave him" him 5-states Biafra. Most sane people at that point would have known they were dealing with a deranged cretin, but that is hardly enough to dissuade his army of touts and thugs.

What does calling a referendum have to do with Kanu's unguarded utterances that insult other tribes, call for genocide against Yorubas, call Northerners cattle, insult the Nigerian government and call for the president's death, claim the lands of other group in his mooronic Biafran maps, incite crowds against constituted authority etc? What does all that have to do with calling for a referendum? Ewu.

Hizzy:
OK I can see we are friends
OK do you how to upload track on tooooxclusive or naijaloaded
I don't like abusing people that's why I wanted you to feel happy and laugh over it even though BIAFRA comes Yoruba's and Igbos are friends

gabe:
like I said, please feel free to insult your way to biafra. It is a very productive way of nation building. The more people you insult, the more they accept your idea.

eodavids:
My bros, are you Onye Igbo?

If you are one, good.
Perhaps you really meant what you typed up there. But you should have a rethink.

Why?

Because the security, safety, survival and general welfare of Ndigbo should should be our priority now, not playing the secession politics that is capable of endangering the general welfare of Ndigbo.

Let someone tell Nnamdi Kanu that what he is doing will not give Ndigbo Biafra. Rather, his actions will alienate Ndigbo from their entitlement as the third most populous Tribe in Nigeria.

Let not Ndigbo, who hitherto were known for wisdom and bravery become foolish because of Nnamdi Kanu.

ofai:
Pls don't accept the idea. I don't sell my ideas to hypocrites.

ofai:
It's obvious you were born yesterday. You don't understand politics. And yes, you are narcissistic illiterate. There are illiterates that communicate in English.

Has he not been arrested for the allegations? Has he been adjudged as guilty? You don't even know what politics is. I can't​ afford to waste my time tutoring you from the very beginning...

If you want to vote, go and vote. Okay?

sheyinoni:
Yes I do,and I will gladly do that jus send a link is easier that way

gabe:
like I said, please feel free to insult your way to biafra. It is a very productive way of nation building. The more people you insult, the more they accept your idea.

ofai:
Just read your poo.... ".... Entitlement as the third most populous tribe"

Do you think this is all about entitlement? We are talking about justice, equity and merit, you are talking about entitlement.

All this while before the emergence of the Agitations, were igbos given their dues?

Ogbeni be careful and stop the polite insult.

Obi1kenobi:
In retrospect, it might be a distasteful comment. But when you spend a lot of time arguing with the IPOB touts on this forum who throw around insults and call you "afonja" for disagreeing with them, you learn to roll around the gutter on their debased level. It's weird you think I'm the selfish one when you have mindless trolls telling Igbos in the North to basically leave all they have laboured for and asking Anambra people to bring anarchy to their own electoral system and government without understanding the consequences for many ordinary citizens. And I'm the selfish one?

eodavids:
You should wise up rather. If what Kanu is doing interests you, explain why?

You should quite know that petty abuses and rallies cannot result into separating Ndigbo from Nigeria. Rather, it will lead to hatred of Ndigbo by the Non-Igbos.

Poser: if Kanu's/Ipob's actions will actually not give Ndigbo Biafra (which you know is a fact), what is it that interests you in their actions

Are you saying you delight in futility??

Wise up now!!!

By Tony Adibe, Enugu



When Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), started hitting the airwaves and heating up the Nigerian polity with the London-based Radio Biafra, a platform through which he released his hate speeches and insults, he probably thought the development earned him the mouthpiece of the Igbo race.

Moreover, when his sit-indoor-order reportedly received about 80 percent compliance within some major cities in the South-east zone of Nigeria, he might have felt that circumstances have automatically placed the leadership of the entire Igbo race on his palms. Apparently, the same way unfolding situations in the 1960s placed the leadership of Igbo land, and indeed, the defunct eastern region on the shoulders of the then young Biafran leader, Col Emeka Ojukwu. But the two scenarios are not the same. They can hardly be.

Kanu perhaps felt emboldened to speak, even about matters he ought to have maintained silence on. Towards the end of June, the IPOB leader reportedly called on Anambra people to boycott the governorship election scheduled for November 18. His reported call came even when the Igbo are yet to come out of the problem they were thrown into when Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, the then leader of Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) asked the Igbo to boycott the last census. The Igbo who obeyed Uwazuruike’s misleading and mischievous call did not realize the implication: when the census was conducted, the population of the Igbo declined. Federal resources are usually distributed based on population of an area.

However, for the first time, the leadership of Ndigbo seemed to have risen up to the occasion by not only scolding Kanu but also calling him to order. That Kanu heads IPOB and directs a pirate Radio Biafra, does not make him the Igbo spokesman.

The highest Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndi-Igbo, hit hard on IPOB and Kanu with a warning to desist from actions capable of heating up the polity. Ohanaeze was reacting to IPOB’s call for a boycott of the forthcoming governorship poll in Anambra State.

“We don’t need this heat up…Leaders of these movements must not arrogate to themselves the supreme leadership of Igboland…Statements of the kind credited to Kanu are provocative, misleading and unproductive. Why should Anambra people be denied the opportunity to choose their own leader? Why should any of us who are not from Anambra, no matter how highly placed, descend to the arena and dictate for Anambra people when to vote, whether to vote or who to vote for?” asked the President General of Ohanaeze, Chief John Nnia Nwodo. “We must resist any attempt to turn division amongst us,” he warned.

Elder statesman and founder cum national chairman of the Justice Party, Chief Ralph Obioha, said Kanu should be guarded lest he drags the Igbo into the kind of mess they will live to regret for a very long time. “Ndigbo are struggling to come out of the mess Uwazuruike put us into when he and his MASSOB prevented a majority of Igbo from participating in the last census. And now this young man with split personality - Nnamdi Kanu who claims to be a Jew, even when the Jews have not said they are Igbo or the Igbo are Jews - has emerged to drag the Igbo man into another round of mess,” Obioha said angrily in an interview with Daily Trust on Saturday.


Obioha regretted that prominent Igbo leaders like former Vice President Alex Ekwueme and others, rather than caution the young Kanu “who abuses everybody in Igbo land and Nigeria, they are patting him on the back.”

He said: “Look at the title Nnamdi Kanu has given himself now…His Excellency, The Supreme Leader of IPOB and Biafra. He enjoys such amusing titles. Doesn’t that tell you something about the mentality of the young man? I only pity the gullible Igbo youths who follow such people sheepishly because the word Biafra is now their opium.”

Even Kanu seemed to have lost the support of the father figure and co-founder of IPOB, a former President General of Ohanaeze, Dr Dozie Ikedife, who participated in the Nigeria-Biafra civil war. Ikedife and Kanu do not agree on ideological differences or modus operandi with which to go about Biafra. The Anambra State-born medical doctor knows the implication of violence and war. He does not want to adopt any of these.

“I am not in support of any other brand of Biafra agitation that would involve physical engagements, assault or insults and preaching ethnic hatred,” said Ikedife in an interview. He quickly added: “The Biafra agitation I support is a peaceful one. A Biafra founded through a referendum or legislative process backed by law and not violence,” he restated.

But Kanu ‘who was born yesterday’ and didn’t experience the agonies of the Civil War is busy crusading for violence, blood, war. He is still basking in the euphoria of the media spotlight he has gotten so far. Perhaps, Kanu is not only a sad man but one in a hurry to get things done, even if it means doing them badly. He said in a recent interview that his attempt to restore Biafra Republic was spurred by “the sufferings Ndi-Igbo were being subjected to in Nigeria, the maltreatment and marginalization of the Igbo people.” Kanu further said: “I am extremely bitter with the maltreatment of Ndigbo. That is why it looks as if I am zealous.”

More shocking to Kanu’s firebrand and brashly arrogant style of crusading for Biafra is the rejection of secession from the southeast governors, Ohanaeze and other prominent groups and personalities in the zone.

A communiqué issued at the end of the meeting of southeast governors, Ohanaeze, and select leaders of thought in Enugu on July 1, 2017 killed any optimism IPOB leadership probably had for receiving the approval or endorsement of the Igbo leadership in respect of Biafra’s resurrection.

Ebonyi State governor and chairman of the Southeast Governors Forum, Dave Umahi, who read the communiqué, also condemned Kanu’s reckless hate speeches and disrespect for civil authorities. Umahi said: “Ndigbo are in support of a united Nigeria where peace, love, fairness, justice, equity and equality of opportunity are paramount regardless of creed, ethnicity, gender or political affiliation.”

They also declared their support for the restructuring of Nigeria on the basis of fairness and equity, while also appealing to the federal government and all Nigerian leaders to quickly set in motion the process of dialogue among Nigerians on the modalities of achieving the issue within a reasonable time frame.

But a day after the governors and Igbo leaders met, IPOB said that the Igbo leaders comprising the governors, National Assembly members, traditional rulers, religious leaders and other stakeholders, spoke for themselves and their immediate families. IPOB expressed disappointment over the position and comments of the elders during the Enugu meeting, emphasising that the leaders contradicted the aspirations of the teeming Igbo people.

IPOB said in a statement issued by its media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, that the position of the Igbo leaders failed to reflect the will of the ordinary people in the zone, but was aimed at protecting their interests and that of their immediate families and cronies who have been the beneficiaries of the Igbo common patrimony.

Nevertheless, only time will tell if Kanu will ever get the support of the Igbo elite since virtually all the prominent people support a one united Nigeria rather than opting for a break-away Biafra Republic. This is unlike in the 1960s when the Eastern Region Consultative Assembly unanimously asked the then leader of defunct Eastern Region, Col Emeka Ojukwu, to declare the Republic of Biafra. Perhaps, Kanu is still acting alone, basking in the euphoria of gullible Igbo young men and women who, one prays, wouldn’t push him to do things that may burn the fingers of Igbo people.

DerideGull:
I have concluded that freedom of press is the worst drawback of democracy. To compound the worst situation is the idiotic, ill-educated and silly press. Right to freedom does not come cheap. There are acceptable perils one or group of people had to endure in pursuant of freedom. If the idiotic federal government of Nigeria does not allocate the proper resources to Igbo nation due to boycott of census, I say so be it. The fact you agreed that federal government main objective of nation census is to determine how much hand out it has to give to states raise the stake to fight for independent Biafra where census shall be used to plan and construct the economy of the state rather than handout process. What a goon of a country.

Most idiotic Nigerians will readily render the name of USA in their silly attempt to be clever during national debates. Today, the foolish Nigerians have latched onto phrases such as hate speech and other craps to tickle their moronic fancy. Yet they forgot that when USA was fighting for its independent, all manners of so-called hate speech and outright derogatory derision rained liked heavy rain. British was subject to all forms disdainful name calling and insults. At the end, arguably the world's greatest country was born.

The IPOB does not conduct election in Nigeria and it absolute idiocy to remotely insinuate that Nnadi Kanu and IPOB said election will not hold in Anambra state in particular and entire Biafran entity in general. It is right of the silly agency responsible for election in Nigeria to conduct one and it is also to right of the electorate to participate in it. IPOB has turned another page of its political arsenal, this time boycott which is an acceptable universal stance against tyranny, by simply requesting the electorate, the Biafrans, not to participate in the election. The IPOB does not want to destroy Nigeria unless Nigeria wants to destroy itself. The need for self determination is and inalienable fundamental right all human beings can exercise.

Let ask the goons that wrote the silly article if Igbo land or Biafra has the type of economic gateway situated in the defunct western region and northern region of Nigeria. Today, there are Lagos and Abuja in the defunct western and northern regions respectively. What so economic gateway had silly federal government of Niger-Area created in the defunct eastern and midwestern region respectively? For any dialogue to even remotely thought about, there must be Lagos or Abuja in the defunct eastern and Midwestern region respectively. I do not want moronic dingbat to come here lecture on USA. The south fought with union and since of the civil war, the south had produced more Presidents of USA than union. In addition, the south had the largest seaports and busiest airports when compared with the union. Can this be said about the cesspit called Nigeria since after civil war? At this stage of things, there no need to spend to time on reasonability because in Nigeria actions speak louder than thoughts.

frleopardo:
why are you this stupid?
First of all, IPOB are not the ones telling Anambra people to leave all they have laboured for and come home - - it's the northern youths

Secondly if the people of Anambra feel that IPOB are being a nuisance, they will defy their directive and come out to vote on election day. Anambrarians are not stupid.

Stop trying to look wise because you are not.

Obi1kenobi:
of course, there are predictable responses all over the thread. Never engage or address any substantive issue about the strategy or objectives of a chaotic movement. Just insult, insult, insult, call people "afonja", more insults, call "afonja", insult, insult, insult, call "afonja" etc etc....Even upstanding Igbo citizens who try to call the charlatan to order get insulted. You live in an absolute fantasy land if you think any movement of this sort can succeed without the intellectual, political and economic elite adding their voices. Unemployed touts, hawkers and okada riders will never be the voice of productive Igbos all across the country no matter all the noise-making, chest-beating rallies. But keep on dreaming, sha.

ofai:
YOU should wise up. Because the average ipob has no time to prove anything to those who don't see anything good about them.

Nigeria isn't working. It may take two steps forward, but then, it would later take five steps backwards.

If you are not tired, others are.

IPOBians​ were once patriotic Nigerians, they once sang the national anthem proudly. Because they believed things would get better. Rather, things have gotten worse. Why attacking them?

Mods this statement in no way violates rule 9, so don't bring the hammer on me. Seems the only thing that gets me banned these days is violation of rule 9.

You know a hater after reading the first paragraph. Dear writer, you are a hater of Nnamdi Kanu. He is the Leader of millions of Igbos and other South South people, whose leader are you? Nnia Nwodo, the so called Ohana Eze ndi oshi na ama can't even organize a rally. They should try it, let's see who honours it. Please stop being jealous of he who God has made King over Biafrans.
