Tolexander:
Make dem come protest in front of Aso Rock.

Bunch of jobless fellow!
I wonder why they can't go to white house to protest. Actually, they were the ones that made trump win the election and also helped in developing the US.

OP Aso Rock is for u while SE is for them,so dont expect them to come to ur place to protest.So think well.

ColonelDrake:
Ipob insulted the day light out of every living and non living thing that dares have a contrary view. I'm sure they've learnt their lessons.

Kanu's hate speech that never spilled any blood and 2011 election hate speech that spilled blood,which one would u prefer or like to condemn?

sarrki:
This time around there won't be war

State the difference,no one is asking u of war. U seem to lack democratic up bringing.Try to click into civilized manner of democracy and not violence.

ColonelDrake:
I hardly comment these days becuase no matter what I write, most yorubas have swore to defend the Hausa Fulani interest. most of them rejoice over the killing of unarmed ipob protesters. I guess I'm a lone wolf in the wilderness. On Facebook, radio station and other social media, Yorubas go about disgracing themselves and giving justifications for the military invasion and why ipob should be tag terrorist. One nurudeen Adeyemi even posted on LinkedIn today (a professional site) a comparison between nmadi KANU and shekau. I was very disappointed and I asked myself why most Yorubas are like that. Most Yorubas have been cursed with the spirit of slavery. In fact, with what I have seen, I don't think it's the Muslims alone, even most Yoruba Christians are now involved in this show of shame. I'm tired and there's nothing I can do again. Every man for himself from this day forward. I'm doing well in real life and I have a very good job. Trust me, Nigeria's recession didn't even get to me.

Now, that I have seen that most Yorubas love their chains, I can only wish them goodluck in their romance with the Hausa Fulani and their pro one Nigeria stance which is nothing but a promotion of the Hausa Fulani oligarchy. I rest my case.

I feel ur pains my brother.Yorubas r undoing themselves in many ways.No one seems to trust them or their approach.From Aburi to what u now call restructure.Yorubas r quick to support evil against others,unlike the Igbos who r victims of every evil activities in Nigeria and Africa,of course they will never support evil. Igbos v always gone it alone and now they r on it and r asking for Biafra referendum not South or Yoruba referendum.Unfortunately, u would want to ask yourselves were r the generations of Late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo.The combination of these men gave Nigeria her independence. Great Zik of Africa, his journalism and Zikist Movement were huge threat to British colonialism and Awo also fought fiercely for it. They stood on the same opinion and pushed a common course,however today it is not like that. The Yoruba man feels happy with Igbo marginalisation and vice ver sa. As it stands, the Igbos v gone far on Self determination, from all indication they cant go back or allow anyone to mess up their struggle.

Totodude:
I read this News on facebook from AIT page, but I don't know how true this is. Please read for your self.


Let me tell you what happened. You can go to the bank with it…

The five governors met with Nnamdi Kanu, asked him what his issues with Nigeria were.

He told them "We want a referendum".

They offered him money.

He refused.

They asked him if he will slow down at least for them to be reelected.

He refused. He stated clearly "there must be referendum."
The five governors stood infront of the press and promised to take his complaints to the presidency.

They met with the presidency.

They told Buahri “Mr. President, this guy cannot be bought. He wants Biafra by all means”.

Buhari asked them. "What can we do"?

They said. “We will give you Nnamdi Kanu, will you give us second tenure and allow us to loot?”
Buhari said “Deal”

They then devised a plan. In their plan, the army will come to Abia (and other eastern states) claiming they are going for Operation Python Dance 2.

Ikpeazu will then tell Kanu to relax that nothing is happening. He is covered. After Kanu has relaxed, then the army will attack.

This plan almost worked the first time. The plan also involved stationing the military all over South East to contain the Backlash after the assassination. However, something happened. The military men did not expect the boys at the compound not to run when they arrived. They were surprised at the suicidal nature of the boys ready to die to protect Kanu. So they retreated.

Ikpeazu again must act to make Kanu more relaxed so the army can then mount the second and last Maximum attack.
That was why Ikpeazu made the announcement about the Army withdrawing on Friday. That announcement was to induce Kanu to relax, sleep in his house and feel like he has been victorious. This will enable them attack, kill him and withdraw on Friday.

That attempt also failed. So Army was not happy and made an announcement on Friday indicating they will no longer withdraw.

They called the five governors and told them “You guys are not keeping to your side of the bargain”.

Now, they entered into their meeting and fabricated their last plan. “Let us proscribe IPOB, so Kanu will be shot at sight anywhere he is seen”.

My advice to Ndi Igbo. ... Kick these 5 governors out by all means.
Source: https://m.facebook.com/aittvnews/posts/131119040864555

That is the fact.That meeting was monitored.Nmamdi Kanu refused to be bought.Rochas was instrumental to the plan.I wonder who they will govern?Ikpeazu knew Abia state had no crisis. There was peace and tranquility in the state prior to the military invasion but he kept mute.Now he had gone to apologise to NUJ Abia Chapter for military invading their office but supported military invading and killing innocent souls.

CastedDude:
Multiple online reports coming in from Aba, Abia state - have it that soldiers are currently dispersing rioting members of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB with live bullets and also arrows. According to an eyewitness, Ikemefula Nobart who has been giving live updates from the situation at hand, the military men shot arrows at citizens in order to disperse the surging crowd.

Meanwhile, a tailor popularly known as Imo and another man were allegedly gunned down by bullets fired by the security operatives during the chaos along market road in Aba, Abia state capital.

What do u expect when the Northern soldiers r the same boys that stabs, kills, rape and spill blood during riots in the North in the name of religion.

The Nigerian govt has made Biafra struggle as popular as the apartheid struggle and the racist struggle in USA.Nowhere has the gun ever defeated fundamental struggle rather it will make it popular and at last the fundamental struggle will win.

Nigeria under Buhari has been disintegrated.Never will the Igbos or other Nigerians fill they belong to this country.Wisdom was thrown into the bin when Buhari sent the military to attack innocent armless civilians who r agitating for self determination.Nigeria is a signatory to the UN where self determination is enshrined.Globally ppl v been observing IPOB activities in about six (6) states without a single clash or blood being spilled.All of a sudden the military was sent to kill them.Wise counsel is neccessary to avoid promoting the struggle and giving them more support,but with this arm invasion and shooting of armless innocent civilians Nigeria has lost it.The question should be,What has the gun achieved against fundamental struggle?

sarrki:
Kanu and ipobs are daft

Why hiding

He called my country zoo

Now we release Python one of the species in the zoo

The shayo man go hide

You can run but can't hide

We will definitely catch you

You will face the full wrath of the law

Lol do u know what u r saying?IPOB, and Biafra as a struggle is deep rooted in the mind of the Igbos.As far as Nigeria does not v justice and this ppl r marginalised the struggle will keep growing.Killing innocent armless ppl will never solve it rather it will hasten the actualization of Biafra or brake up of Nigeria.The question u should ask urself is, how long will the military continue to shoot innocent protesters who r agitating for self determination?The govt is making the struggle popular.What the govt needs on this case is wisdom.Create an open debate for restructuring where every region will participate with this the govt will prolong the actualization for about 50 yrs but as it stands now Biafra will not take long.While u do ur media job also advice ur pay masters well.

[/b]You are making a big mistake and deceiving yourself if you think that the agitation for Biafra has been quenched by killing of unarmed civilians.[b]
The coming days will be hot for Nigeria at international scene,middle belt is not happy about the genocide been committed by fulani herdmen in their land and they are waiting to retaliate, Boko haram is there doing their own.
Niger Delta militant will resume bombings of oil facilities in coming days.
Stop rejoicing over nothing,Nigeria is a sinking nation.
The more injustice is done to people and some people who hate the people whose injustice is done to rejoices, the joy never last and the injustices breeds anarchy.

Soldiers v limit in their actions. Massive non violence protest under watch is a deep weakness to them.They r good in first attack but they lack wisdom to sustain achievement under a democratic struggle. like d ipob agitation and call for referendum.

HungerBAD:
Laughing.

The guy that won the " Contract" to supply weapons to IPOB, before lalasticlacla's PYTHON came to chase IPOB into the evil forest,has been outed by his Country.

The Government of Turkey say they don't know him,and this is yet another slap to Kanu and his criminal gang.

So who is on the side of Nnamdi Kanu?

Failure is indeed an orphan. The British(Kanu is one)will not touch him. The Israeli will not touch him. Even Crazy Donald Trump will not touch him.

The Eastern Government will not touch him.

The UN will not touch him. P Square will not touch him. The Church that never refuses anybody will not touch him. Cossy Orjiakor (this one touches everybody)will not even touch him.

Who then wants to be associated with Nnamdi Kanu?

Ipob is a non violence group.Nnamdi KANU&his group visited more than 5 states not a scratch was recorded.All along they kept asking for referendum as a better way of achieving their self determination.Is it not childish mentality for ur maturity to associate them with violence? Buhari cause 2011 election violence,boko haram and Fulani herdsmen v been rendered millions of ppl homeless and made many orphans,widows&widowers, however Ipob has not been associated with any.You think Nigerians don't know their enemies. try get sense.Biafra is in d mind and they r bound to fight for their right democratically on UN principle.if they start again u can do nothing.

Throwback:
The regional government of Catalonia in Spain is the one campaigning to separate. An attempt that has already been ruled by the highest court in the land as null and void.

Here in Nigeria, we have an unrecognized boys scout group of miscreants trying to usurp the power of the democratic and constitutionally recognised SouthEast leadership within Nigeria.

The arrogant hunchback who was their leader until he fled for his life on the day of invited battle, kept demanding that he must be given a date for referendum as though he was some constituted authority of the SouthEast. He threatened to unleash his errand boys to destroy the country, and promised that no soldier of the federal government that enters his domain will depart alive.

In the end, he fled when the real constituted authorities decided to visit him with their own errand boys.

BARCELONA (Reuters) - More than 700 mayors from across Catalonia gathered in Barcelona on Saturday to confirm their support for a planned independence referendum that Madrid has declared illegal.

The Catalan government plans to hold a referendum on self rule for the wealthy northeastern region on Oct. 1, despite strong opposition from government which has challenged the vote in the Constitutional Court.

The mayors met with Catalonia’s regional head Carles Puigdemont in a show of defiance, following Spanish prosecutors warning earlier this week that officials engaging in any preparations for the vote could be charged with civil disobedience, abuse of office and misuse of public funds.

On Wednesday, Spanish prosecutors summoned for questioning more than 700 mayors who had said they would allow municipal spaces to be used for voting. If the mayors do not respond to the order, police should arrest them, the order said.

Meeting in downtown Barcelona in front of hundreds of flag waving pro-independence protesters, the mayors gave speeches in which they promised continued support for the referendum amid chants of “we will vote” and “independence.”

Barcelona mayor Ada Colau, who has reached an agreement with the Catalan regional government to allow voting in the city, criticized Madrid’s response to the crisis in a short speech in the city hall.

“It’s a disgrace that we have a government that is incapable of dialogue and instead dedicates itself to pursuing and intimidating mayors and the media,” Colau said.

So far, 740 of 948 municipal leaders have said they would allow municipal spaces to be used for the referendum, according to the Association for Municipalities for Independence (AMI).

Spanish police have raided several print shops and newspaper offices in recent days in a hunt for voting papers, ballot boxes and leaflets to be used for the referendum.

Catalonia’s top court on Friday issued a warning to seven newspapers not to publish campaign notices for the referendum, a court spokesperson said.

On Saturday, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy called for a return to “rationality and legality” and promised to block the vote.

“The only thing I ask of (Catalan) mayors is that they comply with the law, and as such don’t participate in an illegal referendum,” Rajoy said.

Polls show a minority of Catalans want independence, although a majority want the chance to vote on the issue.

The Scottish government lent its support to the Catalan referendum. Cabinet Secretary for External Affairs Fiona Hyslop said Scotland’s 2014 referendum on self rule, which was agreed to by both Westminster and Edinburgh, was a positive example of how to resolve such disputes.

“All peoples have the right to self determination and to choose the form of government best suited to their needs, a principle which is enshrined in the UN Charter,” Hyslop said in a statement on Saturday.

The “No” side won in the Scottish independence referendum.

koladebrainiac:
Well your statement does not answer my question .

I am asking if its courageous to attack Military formation by rebels

Correction.The above wasnt ur question but the answer suites ur sarcasm,but that aside do u know the meanings of the words u r using?attack,military formation,rebels?What do u understand about these words?In fact how old r u?Better still check my postings and comments to know me better.

IPOB learn from Luther King jr of USA. Mobilize urselves in thousands with children, youths and the age, holding ur hands together while singing a good touchy hymn from gospel hymn book, march along Aba Enugu Expressway to Abia Govt House to deliver a speech lets see if the military will shoot u people. When u do all this u will defy what ever threat that the military will pose to the struggle. Matured nations follow the law of democratic norms to avoid catastrophy and see no reason why we can not do that. If we believe in democracy govt dhould meet IPOB at referendum rather than shooting them bc u v already given them d courage to fight a course.Many Igbos believe in one Nigeria but with the shooting of armless and innocent civilians that support has been lost.

koladebrainiac:
The idea that They are courageous confronting Armed military men with stones n sticks n broken broken is whats bgiving mean real laugh

Actually it s supposed to give u real laugh bc what they carry evidenced their ignorance of violence and better off in senses than u bc they believe in democracy while u in ur violent attitude believe in war. And in no distance time war will come to u.

laribari:
Cutlass carrying IPOB members are not armed? What about the local guns they carry too? So na only machine gun be weapon to you. I see! So you think those people guiding kanu's house who have swore to fight for him and lay down their lives will not have revolted or come at the soldiers?

Kanu had the guts to create biafra army and flaunt them publicly on the Internet. What was he preparing for? Nor be war? Why does he need an army? Don't deceive yourself bro.

Have u seen IPOB members on rampage on videos? They are very very very arrogant and feel untouchable. I read a lot of rubbish on nairaland too that if anything happen to kanu Nigeria will be wiped out. I don't blame them, it's the impression kanu gave them. Where are those nairalanders today?

You are not there, don't be surprised those guys came at the soldiers who wanted to gain access into kanu's house to arrest him and if you probably charged towards a armed man or become a barricade to a armed man or soldier on a mission, you will be gun down fast becos soldier orientation na war and to defend themselves as fast as possible or get killed. It's simple.

This is common sense naa!

Why r u full of lies?At what time did u see IPOB with weapons?They traverse 6 states in their rally and agitation for referendum for self determination not a single scratch was recorded but after military has gone to kill innocent ppl u turn to say that they r violent.I pray boko haram will visit u and ur family to pay u back for supporting evil.

Jolar101:
Shameless sycophants rigging themselves into governments in Biafraland.


They are scared of losing revenue from looting taxpayers resources.

They r shameless people.I wonder who will ever vote in South East.Ikpeazu is from my place but i hate him now for this action.No more election in Abia state again.

lasimbo:
I don't mean any insults but the only people supporting Biafra movement are either uneducated, clueless, greedy or lack foresight.

If u follow Biafra do me a favour get your facts right before u follow a leader that doesn't have plans for your future. If Biafra is formed today do u all want Kanu to be ur president? Think well before u answer. What do u know about him?

Have u ever heard him give a speech to

Between Nnamdi Kanu and Buhari who is better educated and better in speech making?Also consider that when Buhari made hate speeches u reacted killing innocent people even NYSC members.Behind every killings in the North and South West there is an hate speech or speeches but Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB have never reacted to any hate speech or speeches.They v done several rally not a single weapon was found with them. Besides they r more acquainted with the call for referendum which is democratic but u that claimed educated says no that u prefer war.In all of this, r u not more illiterate than IPOB?

laudate:
Oga, you want to continue spinning your illogical web of questions, abi? Okay, continue to recycle your fallacious arguments. I have tried to share the truth with you, but you prefer to wallow in deceit. I cannot help you any further, if you do not free your mind! Who are the faceless groups that will put pressure on govt for you, if you do not do your homework properly?

At what point, does the UN or other world bodies step in to broker peace in a situation, or start to exert pressure on a govt? How many years did it take to dismantle apartheid in South Africa, even after international pressure had been exerted on Botha's administration?? Don't forget that countries are only motivated to respond to you, based on their own self-interest, or political focus. You think you would snap your fingers, and foreign countries and international organisations will just jump up to do your bidding and put pressure on federal government? I laugh in Greek!

If all it takes to guarantee a referendum is civil disobedience and protests, then why do wars occur and why do they last for so long? Most of the time, civil disobedience option is only chosen, after the parties involved have exhausted all due legal & political processes, to get their needs met. Your people have NOT embarked on one political step, to get their new republic (e.g. have they placed their demands before the National Assembly, so it can even be debated and voted upon?) You are one of those that cannot recognise the truth, but you just want to keep going round in circles, for the fun of it. Until you do your research and your homework, I will not even dignify any of your posts with a response.

You did not make any sense here.is like u v exhausted all ur knowldge haven seen my explanations.U can hold on to a position properly.You behave like a Segun.Peole call Segun a stubborn in the head. I had one in my class ,hey! it was so difficult to teach him things in d class.Thank God u v my articles with u.Always read them to learn how to marchall out issues and do inquiries and analysis.

Police once labelled IPOB terrorist organisation and failed.SS accused IPOB of numerous atrocities including bombing of Lagos 3rd Mainland Bridge and failed. Now the Nigerian Army invaded Abia state and South East a peaceful region and state killing innocent Igbos, now they v turned to name IPOB a terrorist organisation.You will also fail.By the time u see mass rally then u would v put urself to shame.IPOB has been to more than 5 states no single weapon or violence recorded about them and u think people r fools.Nigerian Army wake up.You antics r giving these people courage to fight for freedom.Biafra is like a religion among families in Igboland.

IkpuMmiri:
Mynd44 rule2

You see ur life.You r calling rule 2 forgetting u used it first before he returned it to u.Both of u should retrieve it for long lives.Biafra is not for war but peace.Imagine how Nnamdi Kanu and his group traversed places peacefully only to be attacked and innocent igbos shoot dead by the nigerian army.Government should be wise to conduct a referendum bc many Igbo wants to stay in one Nigeria and they r sure of voting against Kanu's position.Before the referendum, both parties will v to agree that once the Biafran course is defeated it will take 70 years to call for another referendum and everyone under the watch of international communities will abide by the rules.Believe me Nigeria will win and the country will be safer.Killing of innocent peaceful cillians is condemned in all manner.

ofai:
they will kill your mother first. the army will do so. quote me. pls don't forget what I have told you. you have brought a curse upon yourself

That is a serious curse u placed on that guy and i see it happenning.Pls retrieve ur word. He may be foolish but u r not.Biafra is not a war part even though the Nigerian government, military and its people r trying to kill them all that the igbos need s perseverence and courage with truth and peaceful agitation like Kanu has done it will be achieved.

The Nigerian Army is clearly using old antics to destroy innocent lives.It intentionally went in on pretense and falsehood to kill innocent people and when the people had been provoke they turned to say that they r terrorist.next u will see will be the police and army and SS parading innocent civilian with weapons that they belonged to IPOB.But they forgot that this people and their group have been to many places under watch even when Kanu was in prison demonstrating without arms or weapons.Even MASSOB formerly under Uwazurike never carried weapon a principle everyone of them seem to up hold.

patval:
Chaiii illiteracy is transferable, from dullard buhari to his arewa mafias in uniform.
We shall know between a group that woke up and invade a peaceful homestead with heavy artillery and people that save themselves from sudden provocative invasion who is terrorist.
buhari has been trying to include IPOB in the same book with his boko boys but to no avail and all he could do is to use python to dance IPOB into armed group.
I blame buharis father cos a little coitus interruption could av saved humanity from this sinister of human blood sucker.

Pls forget about the Governors,Senators and House of Rep members.The people r saying that they dont want to be in Nigeria anymore and u r still advising them to remain.They said that they want referendum just like the way it is done in democracy and democratic countries all over the world.They said no to war and fightings and killings. They v been to more than (6) six states agitating peacefully not a single weapon was found with them.They said they believe in democracy and that its principles and norms should be used to determine their fate instead the govt said no only to send military to kill them.Is that not foolishness.

OneHead:
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/243351-breaking-nigerian-military-declares-ipob-terrorist-organisation.html

Unfortunately the Nigerian Army is confused.Imagine what a whole Army listed as reasons to declare a peaceful group a terrorist. Stone, sticks,shovel, coke bottles, cassava stalk.
Kia! Nigeria is finished.Killing innocent people who v been to more than 6 states in that region and no single weapon was found with them and u r labelling them a terrorist group.Very Shameful indeed.

abbeyfel:
I doubt you understand what is termed as war against humanity...

What then is crime against humanity when armless peaceful innocent civilians r killed by the military.Tell me when did u see or hear that Nnamdi Kanu and his supporters r carrying weapons?Have they not been asking for referendum?Even the most illiterate among his supporters ask for referendum but an institution like the army was sent to kill them.Was there any killing or trouble in Abia state or SE before the military came in? If u as educated as u claim to be will kill at any provocation, are u not ashamed that those u called miscreant r better than u because they are asking for democratic norms and principle to self determination through referendum.Why cant the Nigerian govt start up the process of referendum and argue it out with them instead of sending armoured tank and rifles to them.
