The Fulani that are massacaring people across Nigeria, which calamity did they recieve? Did Buhari do anything to them? They are still killing people as we speak, but Kanu never killed anyone or took up arms. But what is paining you is Kanu's speeches while for others , it is their AK47 that is doing the speeches.

Kanu went through what he went through because he is an Igbo man. Had he been Fulani, nothing would have happend.
please is Dasuki igbo too? reason before you type trash.

I strongly believe he's been killed and the government would never own up to it because it will cause a serious tension. None of his family know where he is.

But your political leaders and lawmakers whom you elected to represent you have never told anyone that they are tired of Nigeria or want a Biafra. ....How then do you expect anyone to take this struggle serious?

EternalTruths, what do you have to say to this simple and plain fact?

And most especially, what is self determination when it involves a people who already have a democratic and constitutional representation within the country they want to opt out from, considering that they were even the ones who ensured that such country never had a secession procedure laid out at the point of independence from the colonial overlord?

Has any Igbo law maker asked for a constitutional amendment to allow referendum or secession?

Who is IPOB to be asking for a political action on behalf of a people who are already legally represented in government?

When will you ever reason like a human being with brain, despite severely referencing Catalonia and Scotland whose separatist agenda were championed by their recognised and constitutional political representation within the mother country they wanted to exit?

Again I ask, who is IPOB to ask Nigeria for any political action on behalf of Igbos or SouthEast?

I'm so tired of the incompetence that emits from niggerians. Trump was very much accurate in his description of you lots.

What is the job of politicans? Is it not to be the VOICE of the people?

Who is likely to speak on the behalf of the people if not a group that had MULTIPLEs coming out to support and die for their cause despite not releasing a penny to show that support unlike majority of niggerian politician.

Name one Niggeria politicians that does the job he is supposed to do and not a corrupt bastard looking out for their pocket?

Name one fucking politicians in niggeria that did not rig himself or herself in.

Who are IPOB to speak for igbo? The people that the people spoke to be their voice and displayed it by their actions. Which is the fucking job of a politician and the reason government was ever created. Then again, I'm not shocked a so called "nation" where incompetence is the daily act of your typical government. Where backwardness, selflessness and stupidity is the only thing you are good at in terms of democracy therefore, I'm not shocked you savages are incompetent in the reason government was ever made.

Uchechi asking people not to vote is the WORST way to emit revenge in that shithole.

Asking them to vote and prompting them to vote for buhari is the best way to emit revenge. Personally i think that's what's ipob should be doing right now. Begging their supporters to go out in mass and vote for buhari.

God punished them by giving them that incompetent fool as their leader. Look at what that shithole has become in three years alone. If you want pain, give them pain by letting God punish them severally in which he is doing already. Don't try to stop it.

Likewise, I noticed since Kanu went missing, the death occurring in that shithole has tripled. If they killed him, I pray that all the death happening in that shithole is his spirit coming for vengeance. If it is him, I pray he descend on Igbo politicians and their family as well. Those Sellouts deserve any pain inflicted on them.

It will not be wise we vote for Buhari when we know that our boycott will definitely allow our politicians rig the election for Buhari.

When Buhari disappoints them in 2023 by handing over power to another Hausa Fulani Terrorists, they will then either become Biafrans or keep quiet.

In the end, Buhari's second term will definitely break up Nigeria.

So you are more intelligent than America that has fought terrorism at the highest level? The same America that brought fown Osama bin ladin, removed the Taliban are telling you that IPOB which is u armed and never killed anyone is not a terrorist organisation.

But your government is telling you that Fulani herdsmen who have killed over 1,500 people in Benue in the last 4 years are just criminals. Not one of them was brought to book.

Vox populi, vox dei

The voice of the people supersedes any elected democratic representative. The job of IPOB is to show that it has the support of the people and I believe that they have done that going by the millions who attend their rallies and a highly successful sit at home order.

If you ask who IPOB is to ask for any political action on behalf Igbos, I will ask who Nigeria is to act in any political way on behalf of Igbos. Did the Igbo nstion at any time agree to be part of the colonial organisation called Nigeria?

Self determination is the right of any organisation or group and anyone is allowed to agitate for self determination. While it is true that in places like Britain, Scotland used its political representatives to move for a referendum, there is no rule that says this is the only way to seek self determination. East Timor did not have to use a political solution to get a referendum, they agitated the way IPOB is doing and Indonasia gave them a UN monitired referendum. East Timor is today an independent nation. It is the organisation that can massmobilise the people to come out to support it that speaks for the people.

Governors like Fayose that have been very vocal for their people, how have they been silenced? Governors & lawmakers in Nigeria have immunity to a large extent.

Can't you see the way core-northern leaders exert their power in defending their people? Why are you excusing the cowardice of your leaders?

He threatened to levy war on the country
He incited IPOB members to hunt down Hausa/Fulani in order to harm them
He incited IPOB members to carry out murder and arson

All of these are individually illegal, combined, they amount to levying war
If giving Igbos quit notice was illegal, clearly it would be double standard to say encouraging killing of Hausa is not illegal unless of course you imply the latter are not human beings


Do I support secession? Why not if it will bring peace. The approach may take time, but it is better to stay focussd and consistent without violence. Zik, Awo did not threaten violence! Ghandhi did not! Infact they bore it with equanimity

Of course, it happend in East Timor. If a group of people agitate strongly enough, a time will come when the national assembly will start talking about giving them referendum in the interest of peace. It may take long but as long as the people keep up their agitation, the Assembly will later bow to the will of the people.

Referendum or seccession only comes through war, or through the constitution which must come through the elected representatives.

It is when a people agitate in huge numbers that the elected representatives pay attention. If IPOB overturn their proscription in court and return to full blown non violent agitation, it will even be a Northern lawmaker who will be the first to move a motion for referendum for them. If we remember, Arewa youths openly supported referendum for the Biafrans during last year agitation.

What stops Igbos from forming a Biafran political party and voting them in to fill all political positions in Igbo land? This is the only way referendum can be achieved.

Because even if Biafran activists won all the political positions in the area they want a referendum, they will still have to go back to the national assembly in Abuja where the entire North and Yorubas will be waiting to deal with them. Any vote on referendum in the national assembly this way will be lost by the Biafrans since the others have the majority.


The only way to get a referendum the way Nigeria is currently structured is to agitate and show the other side that you are serious about going your way. It may be long and hard but it is the only way for now.

Was anyone killed on his orders? What about those who went past "encouraging" stage and killed people from other tribes like the 50,000 Igbos slaughtered in the North in 1966. Are you talking about that? Or the Herdsmen killing other ethnic groups in Nigeria? But Nnamdi Kanu bad for "encouraging" even though it is his people being killed.

So by your logic, where is the evidence that the Nigerian Army killed Kanu? Absence of evidence is not evidence of evidence (in this case of killing)
Killings might be unreported. People have been known to kill and hide the corpses
By the same logic without showing 50,0000 corpses, how should I believe?

gidgiddy:
He openly solicited arms to kill Hausa-Fulani but it is Hausa-Fulani who are openly killing people and not Kanu.
Different issues. IPOB was fighting FG. Hausa Fulani are not targeting Biafra members specifically
Why should the killing by herdsmen be wrong and IPOB's encouragement of random killing be right?

gidgiddy:
Which any community is entitled to do as long as they are not armed with guns

Not after the community has declared violence against other people as one of their strategies for achieving their aims
Vigilante groups need to register with security forces otherwise any group of bandits can claim to be security forces
Even private companies provide security services in Nigeria, but they must register and comply with certain rules

gidgiddy:
Kanu never declared any Biafra, he wanted referendum
Is this what the ordinary members of IPOB believe
That guy who promised to kill Hausa, is that what he believed?
When Kanu said that anyone who comes to Biafraland to arrest him will not leave the place alive, has he not delineated some place Biafraland?

For which he is already standing trial and has not been found guilty
Why are you not standing trial if what he did is not illegal
Why has his lawyer not just made a mo case submission that what he did is not a crime

gidgiddy:
You mean that video being circulated online? What proof is there that the boys were looking for Northerners to kill? They could have been looking for Northerners to beat up, harass or rob.


Why should they be looking for people of other tribes ion the first place. Why rob, harass or beat up?
If South Africans are looking for Nigerians on their streets, would you be so flippant about it?
By the way, why did IPOB not come out to deny the story? You cannot accuse IPOB of being silent on issues. We know when they are silent on issues, it is not because they are not aware of the issue

gidgiddy:
Are you inside their brain to know they were looking for someone to kill?
Were the people who condemned the quit notice to Igbos inside the brain of the people who gave the quit notice to know that some negative thing would happen at the end of the notice period

gidgiddy:
What proof is there that they are even IPOB members?
IPOB should have raised this issue. Don't you think so?

gidgiddy:
Can you show one act of murder or arson anyone did on the orders of Kanu? And I dont mean arson that came as a result of IPOB/Police or Army clash.
1. If Nigerian soldier attacks an IPB member, IPOB members blame Buratai
If herdsmen attack anyone, IPOB members blame Buhari and Miyetti Allah, do they have the direct orders of the people they blame before accusing?
2. There was burning of Dangote trucks in Onitsha
3. There could be silent killings which some people have boasted of on NL in respect of the herdsmen
Afterall in other crisis situation (communal crisis, accidents, protests etc) people often say that the casualty figures from the Police is usually less than actual

gidgiddy:
If you have nothing to say then dont say anything. Before operation Python dance, the East was peaceful. Nobody was killed, no property destroyed, nobody took up arms and no was harassed. Your Nigeria and their Python dance brought trouble to an area where there was no problem

There is no peace in an area which its members threaten that the Nigerian security forces cannot go to to arrest people
That is a declaration of war
Remember that in any dispute, all parties will be claiming to be right. Actions of all will be examined not just their claim of innocence
The guy who killed students in Florida last week only made threats before that day. People said he should have been arrested fore the threats before he did the actual shooting. Do you disagree with their reasoning?
Even if you do, that is how human being being threatened (including the Igbos given quit notice last year) behave. They don't wait for the killing
and that is how IPOB or any other group will be judged

gidgiddy:
Yet, the Fulani Herdsmen are out there butchering hundreds of people freely and you are calling Kanu who has not killed anyone
But the people who gave the quit notice to Igbos never killed anyone

Where were you when the core-northern leaders and politicians were defending Boko haram during GEJ's tenure?
This is incorrect
Most Northern leaders saw Boko Haram as a threat to their authorities - BH was always attacking them
Boko Haram tried to kill the late emir of Kano. An attack was actually carried out
The even tried to kill the current emir - Sanusi Lamido. He did not attend that particular mosque on that day
They killed Majo Gen Shuwa - did they do this because they were being supported
You guys people in the NOrth never voted for Jonathan - yet he got 25% oin Katsina in 2011
You are always distorting history

Nowenuse:
Where were you when all the core-northern governors and lawmakers defied President Obasanjo's authority and that of our FG at large in 2001 and enforced Sharia laws in their states?
Prove that they defied Obasanjo
Obasanjo saw it as a political issue that will fizzle out and said so
Why did he not take them to court
There were cases between FG and SGs under Obasanjo - why was this not taken to court?

If IPOB overturn their proscription in court and return to full blown non violent agitation, it will even be a Northern lawmaker who will be the first to move a motion for referendum for them. If we remember, Arewa youths openly supported referendum for the Biafrans during last year agitation.
The only way to get a referendum the way Nigeria is currently structured is to agitate and show the other side that you are serious about going your way. It may be long and hard but it is the only way for now.

Some people have counselled this all the while but IPOB members don't listen. They automatically believe that everyone is against them

I don't have any issue with secession if it will bring peace. I don't care for Delta Oil. Allah did not create me to live or depend on it

If people want to go, let them. They just need to sign an iron clad undertaking that they will be good neighbours and won't try and destablise my new country
Period!
