Igbos In Canada Berates IPOB Over $20 Entry Fee To Nnamdi Kanu Town Hall Meeting by okenikpoto(m): 6:25am On Jun 10, 2019 |
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is being berated by the hundreds of its members and supporters who were asked to pay $20 (CAD) to enter into the venue of a town hall meeting being held by the leader of the group, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The event which held at the La Victoria Banquet Hall and Convention Centre in North York, Toronto Sunday night witnessed so many members of the group and Igbos in Canada coming to welcome the leader of the group but were shocked when organizers started demanding for a $20CAD (N5600) admittance fee that was not announced in the posters calling for the event. Nnamdi Kanu has been in North America and visited several cities in the United States before arriving Friday evening in Toronto Canada. According to the event posters which well circulated to the Igbo communities across Canada, the event was to mark the Biafra 52 Yeats Memorial Day and started with a Heroes and Heroines Remembrance Day which held on Thursday May 30, 2019 at Queens Park in Toronto followed by a solemn service and procession from Queens Park to the United States Embassy to submit a petition calling for Biafra. The town hall was scheduled for 5pm on June 9, 2019 at 69 Milvan Drive, North York, Toronto and was signed by the factional IPOB coordinator, Tim Okafor. There was never any mention of gate fee for the event. Also, the event which also appeared on the one of the Igbo communities association in Toronto, Igbo Union, made a clarion calls to all well-meaning Biafrans to attend the event. The announcement read, “IPOB Townhall Meeting, June 9 2019 Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Town hall meeting in Toronto Canada The IPOB Supreme Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be holding a town hall meeting with all Biafrans in Canada on June 9th, 2019. This is a clarion call to all well-meaning Biafrans to attend. Details are as shown in the flyer below: Date: Sunday, June 9th , 2019 Venue: La Victoria Banquet Hall and Convention Centre 69 Milvan Drive, North York ON M9L 1Y8 Time: 5 pm-9 pm. Also, there was no mention of any gate fee. It was very embarrassing for the attendees to the event to be asked to dish out $20 to gain entrance, and this is coming on the heels of a receipt that surfaced recently indicating that a monthly fee of N500 is being collected by the organization from their members across Nigeria. “This is not how to treat members. There was no mention of a gate fee and I came with my family to the event only to be asked to pay for every member of my family. It is so sad that IPOB is now being used as a money-making venture and I am so disappointed in Nnamdi Kanu for this kind of exploitation,” said one of the aggrieved members. IPOB Canada has been having a leadership tussle between Tim Okafor and Dr Anicetus Okanga who both claim to be the National Coordinator of IPOB in Canada. The Okanga led faction was instrumental to bringing a renowned US lawyer, Bruce Fein, to Toronto last year and no gate fee was charged. It was then worrisome that the Tim Okafor led faction who organized the town hall meeting held Sunday may have decided to cash in from the people that attended the event. “It is very disgraceful for the IPOB now to be asking for gate fee, it is very wrong and may put the organization in jeopardy should this gets to Revenue Canada that they are making a business out of Nnamdi Kanu’s visit,” said one Chinedu Ukonu. Another aggrieved member who left the venue said that what he witnessed was so embarrassing and an eye-opener to Ndigbo on what the main objective of IPOB is. “Now we know what Nnmadi Kanu is using IPOB to do. And this is how he intends to run Biafra.” 2 Likes

While we fully aware that Nnamdi kanu with his European gangs are criminals and terrorists like their state Governor Ikpeazu, T. A orji and orji uzor kalu But Op this your post has no proof or iota of truth in it. The post is a concotion embellished with falsehood. What concerns $20 dollar with 1000 naira teller Secondly am fully aware that Op is one of custodians and promoters of one Nigeria who lose sleep whenever any meetings of such is held. They like free money like tomorrow no dey coz they rather die than allow we are one under free money go like that. |

Melison:NNAMDI Kanu is a scam. I dealt with an IPhone idiot in a bus when I was traveling home and I called Kanu a scam. The idiot said he will deal with me and I kept him quiet until we got to an Army checkpoint. I handed him over to the military and the mpiawa azu he got made him to cry like a baby 5 Likes 2 Shares |

I dont see anything wrong in IPOB charging a fee for people 20 Dollars to see Kanu, assuming it actually happend. These guys probably had to hire a hall, provide refreshments and security amongst other things. Then someone who doesn't contribute anything will just walk in like that? That's not proper 20 Canadian Dollars is not even enough for one to out on a weekend 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Anything to cast IPOB and MNK in bad light. The write-up is totally false as nobody was asked to pay an entry fee to the Townhall meeting. Come to think of it. Even of they asked for entry fee, how's that ur business how IPOB runs its affairs? Stay on ur lane and face ur front. Below is a picture from the said Town Hall meeting where Biafran Veterans across Canada were blessing MNK. Go and hug transformer. 13 Likes 2 Shares

'Supreme Leader'?? Nothing against the man Nnamdi Kanu and his love or agitation for his people/followers. But that 'Supreme Leader' title is reminiscent of Adolf Hitler/'the Fuhrer'. Hope that title isn't suggesting that he intends to assume Hitler's kind of authoritarian leadership. 4 Likes |
