IS THERE ANY OFFENSE IN ASKING FOR A NEW COUNTRY FROM A MOTHER COUNTRY? NO.

ARE IPOB AND OTHERS ASKING FOR BIAFRA BEARING ARMS? NO.

SO WHAT ON EARTH IS MAKING BUHARI GOVERNMENT JITTERY TO SEND ARMED SOLDIERS TO CONFRONT UNARMED CITIZENS IF NOT DESIRE FOR ANOTHER GENOCIDE IN NIGERIA?

igbodefender:
The present Emir of Kano, Alhahi Muhammadu Sanusi, also known as Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, in a 1999 paper, blamed the Wild Wild West crisis of 1965, a violent political struggle between Awolowo and his then deputy Akintola, as the cause of the January 15, 1966 coup, which was the first coup in Nigeria.

The January 15 1966 coup has been blamed on the Igbo by countless anti-Igboists.

But the respected intellectual, Sanusi, in a paper titled ​ISSUES IN RESTRUCTURING CORPORATE NIGERIA laid the blame squarely on the violent political struggle beteeen Awolowo and Akintola which engulfed the then Western Region in 1965, and gave the military the reason to seize power in early 1966.

The paper was Presented At the “National Conference On The 1999 Constitution” Jointly Organised By The Network For Justice And The Vision Trust Foundation, At the Arewa House, Kaduna from 11th – 12th September 1999.

SANUSI who was then Assistant General Manager, Credit Risk Management and Control Division, United Bank for Africa PLC, has thus shamed people who like to blame the Igbo ethnic group for Nigeria’s first coup. Are they doing so out of guilty conscience?

The first coup of Nigeria was not caused by the Igbo or by the Yoruba, but by elements of the political class. Ethnic jingoists should stop ethnicizing the issue.

See excerpts:
"The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January."

Sanusi also called for an end to moves to ‘punish’ Igbos over the coup:

"Having said that, this nation must realise that the Igbos (sic) have more than paid for [1966].

"They have been defeated in War, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity.

"The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things…

"…When the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman’s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate.

"Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalisation of the Igbo is more complete than ever before.

"The Igbo (sic) have taken all these quietly because they reason, they brought it upon themselves. But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb.

"There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity.

"The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Saraduna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie-Eboh, hundreds of thousands have died and suffered…. If this issue is not addressed immediately, no conference will solve Nigeria’s problems.

Sapiosexuality:
I think the problem is that we have leaders who are both intellectually deficient and intellectually dishonest. The only problem I see with Kanu's agitation is insults, which is evident in all major agitations all over the world.

Simply watching people in Barcelona protest for a new country Catalonia will show you this. Insults is common. It is bad. But no matter how bad it appears, their is some logic in it.

In all call for referendum and independence where insult is commonplace there's usually the trait of disobedience and stupidity in the ruling class. The violent people are usually in power at that time.

This is why acting in a way contrary to their evil nature will never get their attention. You approach them with meekness and you wasting time. Approach them in their garment and you prick. I think that's Kanu's method.

On a grander note, the whole thing is sickening. To make Nigeria work we must create a single identity and not heterogeneous ones. If we can't do that and some persons want out, it can. never be logical to hold them back.

The Oyo empire existed for over 900 years before it was weakened internally and consequently by the colonialists. The Nri Kingdom existed for over 900 years before the colonialist forced them to join Nigeria.

It becomes not just slavish but also stupid to say that the selfish creation of a thief must not be dismantle. I don't see the men who colonised Africa as liberators but witches, warlocks and criminals.

EmeeNaka:
The two movements of IPOB and ISIS shares quite some forms of similarities and differences, which makes them outstanding in their respective activities. The following are their Similarities:
1) The two movements has no respect for old boundaries. Both IPOB and ISIS denigrate old boundaries. while ISIS has captured a large swathes of lands from Syria to Iraq to Lebanon, and also Libya and Nigeria, IPOB has breached the old Biafra map, entering North of Nigeria claiming areas with the Middle belt ,up to Southern Kaduna.

2) Both Movements has a leader,who is a Spiritual leader, Supreme leader and Commander in chief. ISIS leader, Abubakar al-Baghdadi is the supreme leader and Spiritual leader, called a caliph, of ISIS, called while Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the Supreme and Spiritual leader of IPOB.

3) Both Movements has a strong ideological leaning and they both drew their ideology from Religious and political expression and popularized it.

4) Both groups has no respect for cultures or expressions or history of a society that run counter to their way or wish. While ISIS goes about destroying ancient history monuments in the name of Allah, IPOB go about destroying Cultures and history of Igboland, claiming Igbos Jewish ancestry and bowing down to their Supreme leader,as against the custom of Igbo people. these they do in the name of Chukwu Okike Abiama.

5) Both groups and their supporters are respecter of no one and always wish for death. Both groups doesn't fear death as they see death as a accomplishments. While ISIS commits Suicide attacks, IPOB members dares Nigeria security forces bullets, to the extent that their leaders vows to,if need be, lose his family members to their struggle.

6) The manner of the quick gains of both groups Struggle confound many,for which the groups leaders claim Divine.

7) Both groups are Extremists and are religiously backed. ISIS are extremist wahabi terrorist gangs while IPOB are Judeo-Christian extremist agitators.

The differences between ISIS and IPOB includes:
1) ISIS is international terrorist network condemned and rejected by all nations on earth while IPOB work within the framework of international laws.
2) ISIS has brought suffering,death and destruction in it's wake while IPOB members are instead killed by Nigeria security forces albeit unarmed.

A pan Yoruba socio-cultural group known as Afenifere has weighed in on the recent calls for the re-arrest of the Leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra(IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

In a recent interview with Punch, the national publicity secretary of the group, Yinka Odumakin implied that only people from the Northern region of the country seek the re-arrest of Kanu.

He said;

To start with, experience has shown that arrest cannot resolve the question of self-determination. Two years ago, who knew Nnamdi Kanu? Maybe he was just on the Internet or Radio Biafra. But when he was arrested and detained for over a year he became popular.

You realise today that when he is addressing crowds in the South-East, thousands gather and follow (him). They (government) made him popular. If they rearrest him, they are going to further popularise him and bring into focus the issues he is fighting for. Why don’t they deal with the issues, solve the nationality question and render his achievements ineffective? His arrest will not resolve the matter. Even if they sentence Kanu to death today, another person will rise — once they refuse to resolve the matter.

On the other hand, when you talk about the rule of law, that lady that symbolises justice is blindfolded. The essence of that is, she is no respecter of persons — she delivers justice to whoever offends the law. But then, you begin to go after Kanu and some people get up in Arewa land to say leave our land. The Kaduna governor says, ‘Go and arrest them.’

The vice president says, ‘Arrest them.’ The minister of interior then says, ‘No, they said they were misquoted.’ The thing the minister said they were misquoted on, they sat with governors from the North to say they were suspending the order (notice to quit given to Igbo in the North), and they were holding a press conference in Sheraton.

In fact, one of the (Arewa) youths, when they were looking for them, said, ‘If I’m declared wanted, I will give myself up.’ Even (for security agents) to invite them for a 30-minute chat and let them go, they didn’t do that. When you refuse to do that, you create problems for the rule of law; you show that there’s a double standard. That is not how to build an inclusive country.

Not that we endorse everything that Kanu is doing, but we are saying in order not to overheat the polity, what we need now is (for the Federal Government) to address the issues that have given rise to agitations. If we begin the process of restructuring this country, the separatist groups will be at bay. But if we don’t address these issues, you’re giving them, added energy.

When asked about Kanu's violation of his bail conditions, Odumakin said;

When you are granted bail, that is not the end of the matter. The bail means you can go home while the case continues. They have a case in court; let them go to the court. It goes beyond the whole question of courts. Kanu has not been put before the court for killing anybody, burning property or doing anything wrong. All they are taking him to court for is for statements they said he made.

Arewa youths made statements that threatened the unity of the country; they (government) said they should be arrested. The police did not arrest them. The minister of interior came out and started making excuses that the youths said they were misquoted.

Why didn’t he say Kanu said he was misquoted? Now, those who are in favour of (Kanu’s) re-arrest are from the same section of the country where the Arewa youths come from. People can begin to draw insinuations that they are quick to ask for Kanu’s re-arrest because he is not from their section of the country, while they are shielding those who are from their section of the country. That’s why I’m talking about inclusiveness. So, it goes beyond taking Kanu to court. It’s on the basis of the same question of what Kanu said that they arrested him in the first place.  Arewa youths made pronouncements that threatened the unity of Nigeria.

To date, the police could not invite them for a chat; (not) even to take them to a five-star hotel and interrogate them over drinks, pepper soup and groundnuts. To let them be roaming free and even for the minister of interior to be making very lame and unintelligent excuses for them — what kind of country are you building? The boys never said they were misquoted.

When they suspended their notice to quit, they repeated everything they said. That minister should have resigned by now. We are not holding the fort for Kanu at all. We are saying if you want to apply the law, you must apply it evenly; not a law for a section and another law for another section. That cannot work. In fact, that will create more problems and give more sympathy to Kanu.

Analogy of OPPRESSOR & FOOLISH CITIZENS. (A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors). During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, Stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but Stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. Stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and Stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet. Joseph Stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ? Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.

EIGHT REASONS WHY WE MUST BOYCOTT THE NOV 18 ANAMBRA ELECTION. 1. Its called civil disobedience in other to press home our demand for referendum. 2. To prove to the world that sovereignty and power belongs to the masses and that we have decided to take back our sovereignty. 3. To send a message to Abuja that If there is no Referendum before 2019, there will not be any Election in the entire Biafra land without which a new President of the zoo cannot emerge. 4. No political process in Nigeria can give us Biafra. Because Biafrans will remain a minority in the National Assembly and therefore cannot pass any bill for a referendum. E.g The dead south East development bill and the petroleum industry bill(PIB) That spent more than 16years in the National Assembly before it was partially passed after they removed all the Benefits of the bill to the oil communities. 4. Even if Biafrans support a candidate, the person will still swear the oath of Allegiance to Nigeria and begins to sabotage our struggle. 5. Our candidates might even be rigged out by Abuja controlled INEC and therefore portray IPOB as weak and toothless bulldogs. 6. We can't claim to be Biafrans and yet keep sending senators and representativesto the national assembly to represent us. It shows that we are still part of the system. 7. When we vote we give politicians the power to continue looting our common wealth without doing anything for the masses that gave them power. Our roads are bad, No water, no light, no social welfare packages etc. 8. Election Boycott is the ONLY NON VIOLENT WAY we can use to hold the Nigerian Government down to give us Referendum. If you don't like Election boycott because you think that it is not wise, please tell us

Suspected members of the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents have reportedly attacked and slain 18 people at the Internally Displaced Camp, IDP, in Banki town, Bama local government area of Borno state on Thusday, August 30.

According to reports, the terrorists sneaked into the IDP camp and murdered at least 18 youths at about 11 pm and forcefully took away many others, including young girls and women, Sahara Reporters reports.
