YES!!

To where?

Me too I want to leave (possibly to Australia for my studies) and come back.

generalbush:
Can you answer the question above?

Why don't you want Biafra to leave Nigeria?

Do you actually want to leave Nigeria?

generalbush:
Catalonia is having their referendum by November.

Why don't you want Biafra to go?

I don't understand. Is it that this beautiful, wise, peace-inducing write-up means nothing to you?

Na wa o!

Please don't start. At least not now.

paschu:
You are just playing to the gallery. I absolutely have nothing to learn from the guy. I don't go about insulting anyone or ranting about issues without convictions. And I always try to distinguish between facts and opinions. So I am not like YourTerror.

The dude is just a kid. A "wanna be" politician and troller. He was and still is being emotional and reactive.

He never stood for anything out of CONVICTION, PRINCIPLE and UNDERSTANDING. He is just drifting like a candle in the wind. Even his current alleged switch has no basis in principle, inner conviction or understanding. So until he grows up, he'll still be switching from one ideological spectrum to another, based on mere prevailing wind of emotions.

If you check his earlier posts, you'd notice he was campaigning for Obiano, whilst IPOB was campaigning for the election boycott. That shows you that he was never in sync with IPOB, but was just a naive unstable politician looking to ride whatever wind of opportunity the moment brings.

Guy, your grammer is too much for me abeg...

Reference:
What happened. The military was sent after them and they have been hounded into exile so much so that they are in office now abi. The rights you trample upon today are the rights you will need tomorrow. Just pray this government or any other in future suits you because there will be nothing to support your reaction and no one to run to. It is better to be circumspect.

Exactly my point and position since I joined this forum...It is better to be circumspect!

To be fair, just, rational and truthful. It is only truth that can stand the test of time.

paschu:
You are just an unstable opportunist.

It is just as he said. His eyes are now open. He never denied being sympathetic to IPOB and NK.

But I am glad you dug up his previous post here. This is what I have being warning people against. Though this might be a faceless forum, but we must be careful what we post. We never know where we might be tomorrow and things like these be dug up against us.

I am happy he knows better now. I believe he's changed.

It's now up to you to learn from this. Even NK can apologise to the Nation and seek pardon.

mcquin:
The poster you quoted isn't holding back Biafra, Bihari's is. Go demand Biafra from the Python dance leader.

Please, point of correction. Buhari is not holding Biafra back. The President don't have the powers to, on his own, grant even the much talked about referendum.

letusbepieces:
NOBODY WILL CARRY GUN, IT IS BOMB THAT THEY USE TO FIGHT TODAY SO DEY CAN KILL MORE PEOPLE IN ONE GO.

U WANT ONE NIGERIA, DONT CRY WEN BOMB EXPLODES IN LAGOS AND KILL ANYBODY U KNOW.

JUST REMEMBER THAT U SUPPORTED VIOLENCE AGAINST PEOPLE U WANT ONE NIGERIA WITH.

IT IS A ROUND WORLD AND THESE THINGS HAVE A WAY OF COMING BACK TO BITE.

Mind what you say in public. You don't know who is reading this. You could be tracked.

Be careful.

Reference:
Abeg every President gets insulted everyday. If you are his spokesman better tell the President that in a democracy he is servant not master and servants are not feared. His legacy is on the line and history will remember his faults more. Just ask past leaders. Few will remember what he was called. Most will remember how he reacted.

It might be true every President gets insulted everyday, but Kanu's case is beyond mere insults. If it were, Fayose, FFK, Reno and others would have come under serious attack. But have you ever heard the President respond to those insults? Remember what happened to Amechi, Tambowa, Tinubu, Okadigbo etc.

malachytochukwu:
Soothe yourself

You too bro.

It's not too late to live together in peace and harmony.

Through love and understanding, we can find a way out of our numerous problems by listening to each other and compromising when necessary.

malachytochukwu:
You are comfortable when the seal is used by a lawyer to defend a murderer but uncomfortable when its used in pursuance of equity and self determination? ?....AN UN-EXAMINED LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING...

"....AN UN-EXAMINED LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING..." That's absolutely the case here.

You know what I've confirmed in recent times following NK and IPOB? Hatred is very destructive. You might feel you are hurting some other persons, while in reality, you are hurting yourself. Hatred makes you vulnerable. It invades the mind and corrupt it from rational thinking.

Nothing stops ejiofor from defending NK as his client. And if he feels he should defend his people from injustice and military brutality at the UN, he can do that as a true, loyal citizen of the eastern region as a person.

I am not a lawyer, but I don't think he can or should use the property of the FGN to attack the sovereignty of the nation. I never condemn his intention to defend his client and region.

Keep sentiments aside and think!

goshee:
call on the military to withdraw that after all with guns on the hands of illiterate hausa/Fulanis animals all things are possible in the zoo

If I got you right, you are saying I should call on the military to withdraw the seal from him, after all with guns in their hands, all things are possible?

You seem really pained and sincerely I feel your pain - more like you feel oppressed and no one cares to help. I am deeply sorry.
Sometime ago, when NK confronted the soldiers on security checkpoints and they gave him way, you applauded him. Today the table has turned and you feel oppressed.

Truth is, there is no nation in the world that you dare the govt and prevail easily. Don't feel too bad. We are in this situation together.

Daboomb:
It is one thing to act as Cousel to your Client and take briefs.
It is another thing to use the Seal of the NBA (which is not a personal property of any Lawyer but that of, one of the three Arms of the Nigerian govt (Judiciary) in a letter attacking Nigeria and putting Nigeria in a bad light.

It gets even worse when Ejiofor tries to legitimise and legalise the concorted, propaganda and lies of his brief, by putting a Nigerian, National Seal (Nigerian Bar Association, NBA) on such private and personal letter.

Ejiofor as a lawyer, should have been aware that the NBA comprises of not just himself or IPOB supporters but that it is a non-partisan organisation of Lawyers from all parts of the country and to use it in a letter originating per a brief from someone who says Nigeria is a Zoo, he will burn down Nigeria, solicited money and bought Arms to fight the Nigerian govt, e.t.c amounts to recklessness and abuse of priviledge.

Barrister Ejiofor's action is capabe of politicising the NBA, plunging it into rancour, tribal agitations and bring the noble profession/organisation to disrepute.

We hereby call on the NBA to discipline Barrister Ejiofor and debar him from practicing henceforth.
The body of benchers should also withdraw his Law license immediately.
He should also withdraw that letter he wrote or be arrested, tried and jailed for spreading falsehood, incitement and propagating hate speeches.

Now that Nnamdi kanu is A BONAFIDE TERRORIST and his IPOB organisations has been declared a terrorist organisation, l hope everyone knows what it means and the criminal implication of associating with, being a member-of or operating on behalf of A TERORIST ORGANISATION?

That you agree or disagree is immaterial in the eyes of the law, please seek legal advice because IGNORANCE is never an EXCUSE for breaching the law of the land.

Bros, if na me sabi book (law) as you sabi ehn...I for don... I no want wahala.

Following series of analysis from the Nigerian Army on the activities of IPOB over the years and the recent fracas between IPOB and the Nigerian army, the Nigerian Army finally declared IPOB a militant group.
The information was conveyed to the general public through the Director Gen. Defence headquarters. He advised parents to caution their children from joining the group and the general public, especially those in the southeasthern states to distance themselves from the group.
Meanwhile, the Southeasthern Governors had appealed to President Muhamadu Buhari to withdraw the Nigerian Army from the region while they look for ways to curtail the activities of IPOB in the region. The Chairman of the Southeastern Governors forum, Dr. Dave Umehi read the communique after the meeting which was held today. Details later.

smileyoo:
so he should ignore the killings and destruction of his people because he is a lawyer, you get sense ni.

"There is a difference between defending your client against any perceived injustice and promoting secession."
Does this make any sense to you now?

Festus, Mike, all renowned lawyers and human right activist - even Gani of blessed memory - can fight the FGN to a standstill to defend NK's right against any injustice but not to promote secession.

obailala:
You are totally right about this ma'am. But something I'd like to point out is that a Biafra without at least, one of the coastal states is economic suicide.

In my own opinion, the actual mistake of 1967 which is being repeated 50 years later is that Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB has not thought it wise or necessary to intellectually engage the southern minorities to win their trust and support. This was about the biggest error made in 1967 when even the closest neighbours of Igboland did not trust/support Igbos, but rather were forcibly dominated anyway.

50 years later, that issue of lack of trust and unity between the SS minorities and Igbos which greatly hindered the previous war effort still hasnt been solved, but IPOb just seems to be deluded with a fake sense of southern unity (probably because of the united voting pattern in the last election).

It must be pointed out that the only strength the north has in Nigeria's political affairs is their ability to be united when they need something. Until the south learns to be united, it will continue to be at the receiving end of the domination of the north. Even IPOb hasnt thought it wise to maturely engage the SS but rather just assumes the SS minorities are in support of their campaigns (probably because of the common enemy).

"It must be pointed out that the only strength the north has in Nigeria's political affairs is their ability to be united when they need something."

Bro., that's just the truth. So when people accuse them of 'born to rule mentality,' I just laugh. The Hausas and Yorubas take elections seriously and position their own in key positions but not so with the others.

Take for example. In the last election, even in the heat of boko haram - it was even reported that there were attacks in some of the voting units - yet they came out to vote just to make sure Buhari wins. But what do we do in the south? 'Oboy leave those people, dem go still rig the election.'

Today, instead of fighting to elect the best for Anambra state, the Igbos are busy shouting "no election in Anambra state" while a 'stranger' like 2face is sensitising Anambranians on "vote not fight."

I think it's time to wake up!

abbeyfel:
Can you imagine their height of ignorance? Endorsing such a document with a Nigerian authorised stamp...

I think if anybody takes him to the ethics and privileges (disciplinary) committee, they may withdraw his licence.

mazimee:
You argue like a child, is Asari from the Igbo desent?
John Danfulani that came all the way from kadunna is of the Igbo desent?
The others that sent their people from Akwa Ibom are also of the Igbo desent right?

If truly that those so called minorities are not interested why are they sending their people?

So because Asari, out of his hatred for Buhari is speaking against Nigeria in favour of Biafra, you think he really cares about Biafra? Even if he, Tompolo and the people you said came to see Kanu, want Biafra, does that make the Niger Deltan Biafrans?

Danielmoore:
Yes

Even me that is from delta state will not stay in the north at this time not to talk of an Igbo man

Oh! You are from delta state (maybe Asaba being the closest to the east) and you are calling for violence to consume the Igbos in their land?

Instead of asking the Igbos to kill the Hausas, why don't you do it yourself in your home?

Danielmoore:
IPOB plan is working

kill Hausa in the east

any Igbo killed in the north is on his own

Nigeria must not know peace

Oboy, do you know the funny truth? Even the people living in Ikot Ekpene in Akwa state that is closest to Umuhia and Aba are not even 'aware' of what's happening in those two towns as we speak.
So who actually will not know peace if you attract violence to your home land?

PentiumPro:
High time the NBA withdraws this ejiofor legal membership.
He is clearly a secessionist

That was exactly the first thing that came to my mind.
He can't be using NBA license (seal) against Nigeria.
There is a difference between defending your client against any perceived injustice and promoting secession.

attackgat:
This is not the same scenario. Abia state was peaceful, had no riots or civil unrest until the military came to turn everything upside down.

Not even Kanu wants war, it is the military doing provoking the situation, Kanu wants referendum

Sorry, did you just say that "not even Kanu wants war?"

attackgat:
Those nations would have followed the rule of law according to their constitution which is what I expect Nigeria to do.

Whst did Kanu do?

He flouted his bail conditions? The law says only the courts can revoke his bail not the federal government

He said he wants Biafra? He is allowed to agitate for anything he likes under chapter 4 of the constitution.

He commited treason? He is already in court for that

He formed BSS? Anyone can form any group and call it any name. What matters is what the group does. Has BSS touched anyone?

Has Kanu or IPOB taken up arms? No

So what is this incredible thing Kanu has done ti warrant bringing in.Soldiers and shooting up the place?

How many times has the federal government reacted this way when herdsman massacre people all over Nigeria? But it is Kanu who had no gun that they came after.

In as much as you didn't answer my question directly, I must say I appreciate your stance and agree with most of your points.

I am not actually happy with the way the FGN is handling the Fulani herdsmen/communities crisis. As a matter of fact, this is the greatest bane of this administration. But to compare the herdmen's activities with NK's activities isn't correct. While one is a national security problem, the other is a national threat. Yes, the sovereignty of the nation is being threatened and no responsible government tolerates rebels.

Talking about BSS, that was a terrible mistake. BSS is a 'paramilitary' outfit. How do you run a parrallel govt in a soveriegn state?

I repeat, I do not support and will never support violence. But when one man challenges the other to a fight and then the other accepts the challenge and both engage in a combat, I honestly don't see any reason one, irrespective of who is stronger or weaker, should cry of oppression.
I just remembered a sister who will provoke you to hit her, and when you want to hit her, she screams; 'don't hit me here, hit me in this other place.'

Finally, NK's father is the traditional ruler (Igwe) in his place. Please tell me the truth, if any of his subjects looks at him in the eyes and say - for instance - Igwe, you are an osu, an idiot and a curse to our kingdom. Will he walk out of that palace smiling?

Lexusgs430:
The dead does not win an agitation........

No point fighting in vain.......

It might actually be possible for the dead to win an agitation and thus, not a fight in vain - if the fighter doesn't live the see the result he is fighting for, the next generation can.

But the real issues here now are;
- What are you agitating for?
- What's the justification for your agitation?
- How are you going about your agitation?
- What clear, specific, concrete, communicable ideas/strategies do you have in place?
- Who are you agitating for? Are they wholeheartedly with you in the agitation?

Concerning the case at hand, why attract violence and the death of your people when, not even the BOUNDARIES of Biafra is know?

attackgat:
So you think Solidiers are meant to shoot unarmed people who confront them? That is murder, its just that Nigeria is an uncivilised place where the rule of law does not exist.

Can you imagine if it were America or Germany and the Soldiers gunned down unarmed peopl. And when the Soldiers were asked why they did this, they say they were "confronted" or "challenged".

The Soldiers would be in a Military court the next day on murder charges.

This sort of backward Nigeria where life and the rule of law doesnt mean anything isnt what I want my fellow Igbos to belong to. It is a nation of darkness and we should aim higher than this

You only quote laws and make reference to other Nations when it is convenient.

No sane person supports the extrajudicial killings of other citizens, but do you think those Nations you mention would have tolerated NK's activities to this level?

EmmaChibu77:
I'm an Igbo man to the core. Though I am not a Biafra supporter, I must confess that your post is a display of the height of foolishness. You support the massacre of your fellow Igbo people by the so-called "Operation Python Dance"? How senseless and insensitive you are! I guess if a relation of yours was among the victims of soldiers' brutality in Umuahia, you won't be making this reckless comment!

I am NOT in support of secession but suppression isn't the solution to the problem either! The federal government dialogued with a globally-recognized terrorist group, Boko Haram, but has refused to dialogue with a nonviolent group. Your so-called Operation Python Dance is a pure genocide against the Igbos. It is a calculated attempt to suppress the Igbos. But one thing is certain, Buhari and APC cannot suppress the Igbos. We are insurmountable and undefeatable!

Buhari's python will not dance but it'll die!

"The federal government dialogued with a globally-recognized terrorist group, Boko Haram, but has refused to dialogue with a nonviolent group."

Has Kanu either expressly or impliedly shown he cares about dialogue? In case you don't know, "It is Biafra or death" and "Biafra or nothing."

Do you remember Kanu saying the FGN offered him a Biafra of the five eastern states, a property abroad and a huge sum of money which he turned down because he needs a Biafra with Benue, Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom? What negotiation could be greater than this?

FrancisDiote:
I am not an IPOB or Igbo but the truth be told Buhari has not handled this situation like a President of Nigeria instead he has done it as a Northern President.

His actions has ridiculled Nigeria beyond what Jonathan did.

You send well armed millitary men to unarmed civillians to molest, intimidate and probably kill them.

If he feels Kanu has violated any law why not order his arrest, why the sporadic shooting and killing.

I fully support the disintegration of this country so the common man will get a better deal.

The same set of people involved in different coup and govt since 1960 are still in power. Where is the place of the youth.
They will never allow you to ascend but prefer to transfer power and our common wealth to their children.

They have privatised and bought same for themselves leaving crumbs for the common man.

Lastly you are not an Ibo man, if you are you are lost soul.

Imagine non Igbos in solidarity with Igbos and you are celebrating at the death of your kinsmen! Do you think you will inherit their properties!

You are lost soul!

"I fully support the disintegration of this country so the common man will get a better deal."

Are you currently having a better deal in you village?

murphyibiam15:
which nonsense anioma? are they part of the struggle?
any state to be given to igbo must come from the present SE states.

Anioma people, did you hear this guy?

ifeccco:
fool lik u....Houses wia burnt last night by nigerian soldiers and continuous gunshot from 11pt to 4 am in aba.....All in in d name of python dance...is dat wat u like?

Was that happening before now?

anaton:
I still maintain that you are not Igbo because no true Igbo man will support the operation Python dance.Also you cannot be more Igbo than all the elders and elites that have condemn the military exercise.Even the Igbos in APC have kept mute about it because they know deep down and politics aside that their Father's land has been invaded and one day their people call them to account.

Not all Igbos belong to IPOB but show me an Igbo man that is not moved or stirred by the mention of BIAFRA and I will show you a man whose Igbo DNA is in doubt.

"...Also you cannot be more Igbo than all the elders and elites that have condemn the military exercise."

Was there ever a time these elders and elites came up openly as they are doing now to condemn Kanu's unguarded, uncivilized utterances knowing it will surely lead to violence? Severally, he threatened to 'burn down the zoo,' inciting his followers to do same. The worst being commissioning a paramilitary outfit on uniform in a sovereign state, yet not even the Governor of his state condemned it. How would they when even his father, a traditional leader, a custodian or laws and customs gingered him on?
Why condemn the military that is on their routine 'show' of force (they are just showing and nothing more) to checkmate the possible breakdown of law ond order?

generalbush:
you think freedom is gotten at a platter of gold..better wake up..and as you support the eke dance,,May you all be danced upon by the eke

You say "freedom is (not) gotten at a platter of gold," meaning you believe it come with fighting.
And you turn around to condemn eke dance. The military have not started fighting you yet and you are complaining, but you have been manipulated into believing it's Biafra or death.

Better be rational in your thinking o!
