The Federal Government is on a high speed recruitment program for Kanu. And this mistake is going to be more suicidal than the initial stupidity in arresting the guy in the first place.

Majority of the young educated Igbos are yet to buy into Kanu's Movement. Most of them are still observing the situation.

I can bet my money that arresting Kanu again will simply lead to proliferation of the Biafran agitation, and this time, by more educated, creative, imaginative and strategic Igbo youths.

Are there no intelligent people around this Government to advise it that dialogue is a potent tool of social engineering? Are there no patriotic elder statesmen and women to talk sense into the Federal Government that this same strategy led to the radicalization of Boko Haram? Can't we learn from History? Why has Military mentality refused to leave us even after 18 years of democratic practice? Why are we stupidly fixated on the use of force to solve all social problems?

See, the 1967 theatre of war is not the same with that of today. Anyone thinking that the Biafran question can be subjected to Battle Field Test again does not love the whole Black Race. Because the result will be better imagined!
Dialogue is the game! Say no to War!

This is the problem that tends to arise when things are based on a faulty foundation, the result is that such fraud cannot stand no matter how long it might take. You fail and deliberately choose to ignore the fact that the reason KANU was in prison in the first place was exercising his rights to self determination and human rights as a Nigerian to speak, associate and move around. For the fact that the Nigerian state trampled on such rights, kept him in prison even after the courts had granted him bail and then came up with baseless laws for his freedom is an illegality upon which any other case cannot stand on. Its like having a fraudulent certificate, when discovered all other certification built on it are declared illegal.

And we will guard him jealously even if it means paying with our blood.

Camillus92:
Unintelligent Hausa's,
is it Treason to call for a referendum?
Has Nnamdi Kanu declared the Republic of Biafra?
Has ipob carried out any violent attack on Nigerians or any Nigeria asset?
Yet you all(Hausa's ) are bent on arresting or even killing him(if the chance presents itself).

Let's take a road down history shall we?
In 1967 it was Ojukwu, Biafra was subdued.
Today its Kanu, if you all subdue him, what is the guarantee that in 30 years time you won't have okechikwu okezie?

You see Mr President, he who seeks equity must do equity. We have suffered, so suffered, for so much, but today we have a voice, and we won't stop shouting, its gone beyond Nnamdi kanu, its about our existence, our prosperity, our sustenance. Do the right thing Mr President, give the South East what it deserves, we can't continue to pick the crumbs that fall off the table, without justice Mr President, you cannot have peace.

Long live the movement for the actualisation of Biafra.

sapele914:
So in your ignorant thinking President Buhari is the The Federal High Court?so Buhari is asking himself or needs permission from his self to arrest that ipob miscreant?amazing how people reason.

omowolewa:
I wish all parties involved Goodluck. The issue is very complex and delicate to handle or comment on.

Wonder how we got here

Wallade:
Nnamdi Kanu brazenly flouted all his bail conditions, more annoying and offensive is the establishment of a Biafra Secret Service. I have no case against Nnamdi Kanu's rearrest.

He has been disrespectful to the Nigerian nation and it is about time to suffer the consequences.

sapele914:
No war just mass genocide,be careful the FG can change to a hungry lion in seconds.

hahahahahahahahaha....u are already getting emotional. what is d illegality u are talking about?whether he was arrested 4 shop lifting or 4 driving one way or 4 feeding orphans isn't d issue. now let's leave that and all d talk of Yoruba&hausa so u can get into perspective. now bail was set based on kanus request cos he said he was sick, right?d bail came with conditions like every bail does.nobody can force u 2 accept bail.now kanus bail conditions were stringent and like I have said earlier he knew it was stringent. and u urself has raised eyebrows regarding d "inhumane" nature of those conditions. D question which u have refused 2 answer is y would KANU accept such stringent, inhumane bail conditions which he knew will infringe on his rights only 4 him 2 now start contesting it after accepting it?y accept d unacceptable and complain that it is unacceptable? So pls keep 2d discussion

[s]Who made the baseless laws for his freedom?not the FG but the same court he is undermining.

You ipob's have not realized you can flaunt an order from an institution and expect that same institution to protect you. [s][/s]

mpianya39:
We must continue....


I SAY FIGHT ON GREAT PEOPLE UNTIL VICTORY IS ACHIEVED. THIS STRUGGLE MUST CONTINUE, VICTORY FOR BIAFRA RESTORATION IS NEAR

Biafra is for the future of our Children, I wouldn't like them to see the Nigeria we're seeing today

nwaanambra1:
in as much i don't support kanu and his ways of agitation - the fact still remains that the buhari led federal government is beginning to openly insult us igbos!

let it be know that so long as the arewa youths are still walking free after their treasonable and genocidal threat on the Igbos, any attempt to arrest Nnamdi Kanu will be seen as an act of war on the Igbos and it will surely push majority of us that are against Kanu to be his full supporters!

The Federal government should understand that this is no 1967 - this time the war will surely touch every part of Nigeria - even if u r in sambisa!

THE NORTH SEEMS NOT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE IGBOS CANNOT AND WILL NEVER BE AFRAID OF THEM NOR ASSLICK THEM.


THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD TREAD WITH CAUTION. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

RareDiamond:
Nigeria federal government under Buhari is a biased, m0ronic, unintelligent, confused, draconian, evil and tyrannic government.

God Bless the Land of the Rising Sun. GO TO HELL AREWA YOUTH

Jamiubond009:
“The directive to service chiefs to clamp down on IPOB is a continuation of the Buhari’s dictatorial and un- democratic approach to governance. I find it unacceptable, abhorrent, and insulting that somebody elected by the people can turn around to dictate to them.Buhari was elected to govern Nigeria; he should get on with the business of governance and not try to instigate another war.I insist on the boycott of November 18 Anambra governorship elections, because only the beneficiaries of the crumbs from Aso Rock will support those calling on me to rescind the boycott order.
“The call for boycott of the election is our legitimate right. IPOB has only one weapon with which to fight Nigeria, and that is civil disobedience not armed conflict. If we decide not to vote in Anambra, it is our prerogative. It is not targeted at Governor Willie Obiano or anybody.We have refused to be provoked to arms rebellion. That is what Buhari is looking for. Buhari wants a war but we won’t oblige him because we are civilised people. We are democrats at heart by nature and by essence.No amount of threat or intimidation would make us give up the struggle for Biafra autonomy because it is a genuine cause.We are not armed and we can never be armed. IPOB has done a lot to free other ethnic nationalities from the Caliphate’s bondage of retrogression and economic emasculation. Other ethnic nationalities should be grateful to IPOB for giving them the courage and the heart to speak up and say they are not slaves.We are not afraid because IPOB is a peaceful mass movement and not a violent arms group. IPOB is a non-violent peaceful mass movement. There is no recorded event of an injury sustained in any of the numerous IPOB gatherings. People converge in their millions to listen to this gospel of the restoration of Biafra.
“We are the most disciplined, most well behaved mass
movement anywhere on the face of the earth despite the
genocidal killings, arbitrary arrests, illegal detentions
without trial.We are not fighting Nigeria as a state. We are not fighting any governor. We are not fighting any
individual because we are a global organisation.We are fighting a lopsided, fundamentally corrupt system that has held people down in abject poverty for decades, leading to premature deaths, high scale unemployment, and complete decimation of the economic landscape. We are fighting a system which has made the rest of us slaves to people who are not qualified to hold public office.Do you think that if things were working very well that anybody would want to leave Nigeria? I am a pan Africanist. I want to establish good governance that will extend to the ends of Africa. The way Nigeria was formed and handed over to a band of scavengers can no longer be tolerated.The agitation is not against anybody. We are pursuing an ideal nation where hospitals and schools can function.IPOB is building roads but the media will not report that. We don’t molest people because we are under oath to defend those that cannot defend themselves. We cannot bring one to our people but we must agitate.”
Nnamdi kanu

TheCabal:
Told ya. The east cannot and should never be saddled with the responsibility of leadership.

Leaders is amongst the virtue God deprived the east of.
Their penance for plunging Nigeria is to several military coups and civil war

Arewa youths have been condemned since day one and the north made sure they withdrew the statement they made but here is Ohaneaze fragmented in thought and purpose as usual.

They can't even provide good reasons why the government should ignore Kanu.

Ojiofor:
If you sentence Kanu to death or life in prison it won't stop the agitation for freedom.
Nigerians erroneously celebrated the death of Ikemba that Biafra have died with him.Biafra is an ideology in fact it has become our religion and can't be kill with intimidation and murder.

kenny987:
How respectful or mindful has the Nigerian state been of you as a citizen? Has the Nigerian state lived up to its responsibilities to you? Has the Nigerian state u respect so much obeyed subsisting court orders to unify cut off marks for unity schools or release Zakzaky unconditionally?

xcolanto:
You keep jumping the gun! Why should we leave all that or anything out at all! What you saying we leave is what has brought about this issue we are deliberating on. That's the problem with you Nigerians you like to trim the leaves and leave the root which is the main point to tackling the problem. Now you choose not to see the illegality on the side of the FG but see that on KANU! If this isn't the highest form of hypocrisy then that term just has a new meaning.

surgical:
Because he is a wise man, he learnt from abiola that a living hero is Better than a dead hero. Nigeria is not as civilised as other nation where the rights of an opponent in your custody is respected, you can get killed if you stay too long , yar adua ,abiola, Sato wiwa e.t.c KANU did the sensible thing

lexy2014:
let's agree that u are right and that everything d federal govt has done with KANU are illegalities OK?if that is d case then it means that d bail conditions offered to KANU are illegal since d process that produced them are also illegal. Now if we agree on that, y did kanu now accept d "illegal" bail conditions since d process that produced them is illegal? Y didn't he refuse d bail conditions and sight illegality of d process as reason 4 refusal?isn't it hypocrisy(if u permit me 2 borrow from ur lexicon,)to accept illegality, enjoy d freedom d illegality has given u and then come back&say d illegality is unacceptable?

xcolanto:
As much as he accepted them he still has the right to appeal them which his lawyer has acknowledged he has done. So like I said the FG should be wise to maintain status quo until the suit challenging his suppression of his legitimate rights are looked into.

lexy2014:
u are getting it wrong.am not saying he has no right 2 contest d bail conditions. all am asking u is y did he accept bail conditions that u termed "illegal" and "inhumane" in d first place?y didn't he reject them knowing fully well that by accepting them he will b under legal obligation 2 abide by them?or are u trying 2 tell me kanu doesnt have principlez?by accepting d bail conditions its like entering into a contract that says we will give freedom if u do d following which he accepted to do.has KANU kept his own side of d bargain? NO.Therefore d FG isn't obligated 2 maintain any status quo

xcolanto:
I believe he accepted them because he knows they hold no water in law and if the system is fair he would be able to contest those conditions and get justice on his side. Do you think he didn't consult with his lawyers and others before carrying out his legitimate rights? Others may not know their rights and have the FG bully and intimidate them but that's not KANU. They tried to suppress the wrong man this time!

lexy2014:
whether they hold no water or they hold no EBA, agreement is agreement. Its not about d system. He knew d system was unfair b4 he accepted d terms of d bail.d contract is binding as long as he accepted it. this isn't about bullying. this about principles and standing by them.dasuki was offered temporary freedom 2go 2 his fathers burial but turned it down cos d terms weren't acceptable 2 him.he had principles. Same 4 abiola.he was begged several times so he could get his freedom as long as he dropped june12.he said those conditions were unacceptable and he said he didn't mind paying 4 it with his life. He had much more to loose than kanu but he kept 2 his principles.Mandela spent 27years in captivity saying no 2d same bail conditions given 2 KANU.these are people with principles who took responsibility and didn't start blaming d system or d constitution. Chris anyanwu, obasanjo, shehu yar'adua all refused 2 accept what KANU accepted. Same with gani fawehimi. So don't blame d system

xcolanto:
[b]The Nigerian system must have corrupted your thinking to feel human rights abuses [/b]are right and OK because a hand full of people allowed their rights to be trampled upon, then it must be ok for you but not for others like kanu. Moreover these instances you mentioned were under military or pre colonial times where the rule of law was highly disregard. Sorry to burst your bubble but this is 2017 and if those people choose to subject themselves to unfair and biased systems unknown to law, then KANU chooses not to. There are not one and the same people the obasanjo's and abiola's may be cowards or chicken hearted but I assure you KANU is not. He refuses to be treated unjustly and he shall continue to challenge and speak up to the unfair system in Nigeria which his all about anyways. So sit back relax and watch him fight for his rights that he feels are being denied by the FG.

lexy2014:
hahahahahahaha....u are getting emotional again.we aren't fighting are we?y getting personal or am I d FG? hahahahaha hahaha.cos these guys suffered under military rule and not precolonial times hence d need 2 salute their bravery. KANU is even lucky this is a democracy. Just imagine if it was under abach like abiola, obasanjo and Chris anyanwu(who is a lady).i also mentioned dasuki.was his case in d military or pre colonial era?hahahahahaha....I mean let's give 2 them.when we c brave people let's say it. I don't no how u can say abiola&obasanjo are cowards.am interested in how u came 2 that conclusion.standing up 2a military dictator and given d option of life and death. they chose death instead of life with many conditions.thats bravery.but kanu wasnt even faced with that. he just jumped at d slightest opportunity 4 freedom despite what u call d inhumane conditions attached 2 it.u c, it's always good not 2 let ur emotions get d better of u that way u can express urself without mixing facts&fiction.very important my dear brother.like I said I didn't ask KANU not 2 fight 4 his right. D constitution guarantees him that. If he was brave as u say, he should have rejected d bail conditions just like dasuki did. Cos by accepting them he accepted restricted freedom.He should have said unconditional freedom or nothing.that's bravery. then from his prison cell his lawyers will b doing their job.that's how a freedom fighter fights based on principles.am sitting back and am seeing how he will fight.with his Biafra security force, right?this guy u b comedy
