Why do u pipo delight in paddlin lies just because u wantd a so-calld Biafra; a name u Igbos only adoptd followin d overthrow of Aguiyi Ironsi's govt. B4 1914 there was no land kwn as Biafra, nd there were even nothing like western region, eastern region, or northern region in Nigeria. What we had den were two indepndntly administerd political territories knwn as "Northern Nigeria Protectorate"(d present day north-west, north-east nd north-central) nd "Southern Nigeria Protectorate"(d present day south-west, south-east nd south-south). It was just these two separate protectorates(South nd North) dat Lord Federick Lugard almagamated to form one country "Nigeria" instead of two countries, to reduce administrativ costs. I advice u go study history properly nd stop twistin facts to deciev d readin public.

Do biafrans have the same culture and language with the almajiris and brown roof Republics? I doubt

Nnamdi Kanu has been vindicated

PhockPhockMan:
Hmmmm.

See igbodrugpusher making funny comment.

noblezone:
OP,
Please add this one also.

The noblezone calls Nigeria "Slave Camp".

The above report is the true reflection of what happened yst at the court appeal but Scannews twisted it out of context to favour wike however since judgement has already been given on the case this issue is of no consequence. The security agents that testified on behalf of peterside testified as ordinary witnesses in the matter just as those who testified in favour of wike. Besides those paragraphs stood deleted as at the time the judgement was dellivered since no superior court has rulled otherwise and so justice Ambrosa didn't refer to it as he continued from where justice pindinga stopped even though the PDP side wanted him to start afresh.

trapQ:
Lmao!! Zombie. Thieves and criminals who can't do without dragging others along. If I mention my state, you'll still accuse me of being an impostor. Just go alone. That's not hard to do.

trapQ:
You're a fool because you think there are only yorubas in Nigeria. Very typical of igbos.

trapQ:
Thank God... They should go quickly, but without my state .

Ioannes:
obviously Igbo cannot stay on their own, they need to drag other minorities to join them so that they can intimidate them and feel important.
since when did Itshekiri become Igbo

ArodeTsolaye:
Lovely quotes from Biafree-minded great men.

Mskrisx:
Don't trigger this biafra ish ok?

Mskrisx:
Op stoooooooooop! Don't start pls ok?

You're wicked, that's how people will rejoice over you when you get into trouble. I'm proud to be a Nigerian; I don't want Biafra. But I don't rejoice over people's misfortune, they're human beings too. Being a freedom fighter does not make him a criminal. The same way Azikiwe, Mandela and others wanted freedom for their people is the same way he wants freedom for his people. It's no crime.

On that same Friday,we brought the situation to the court’s attention upon which the court issued Form 36(FCT) ordering the DSS to produce the prisoner(Nnamdi).




The prisoner

Dbboy:
He's right

Tolexander:
Fani Kayode spitting nonsense as usual!


Russian civil war 1917, was a multiparty ear and has no element of cessesion

French civil war was a revolution with no element of cessesion.

English civil war was a war between the roundhead and the cavaliers with no element of cessesion.

India was broken along religious plane preindependence. What cessesion war had they after then?

I am not a Biafran and neither am I igbo. I do however believe that it is the inalienable right of any human being or ethnic nationality to aspire to be free and to be able to determine their own destiny.
The right of self-determination is enshrined in international law and it is guaranteed by every moral stricture known to man. It is a right that has been exercised successfully over and over again in world history and it has led to the creation of new nations which were carved out of older ones.
The denial of that right and the suppression and persecution of those who attempt to exercise it leads to nothing but defiance, dissent and resistance and, if not properly managed, it eventually spills over into war and carnage.

This has been the primary cause of most of history's most brutal civil wars, including the American, Russian, French, English, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Nigerian, Angolan, Congolese, Zimbabwean, Yugoslavian, Ukrainian, Nicaraguan, Cuban, Irish, Syrian, Libyan, Indonesian, Korean, Vietnamese, Spanish, Iraqi, Italian ones and countless others.
I do not believe in violent change and neither do I believe in war, revolution, terror or the use of arms in the pursuance of even the most noble causes.
I do however believe in the power of ideas and the right of any man, woman or people to yearn to be free from bondage and to peacefully and freely express that yearning.
It is in this context that I situate my belief in and support for those that view the Nigerian Federation as an oppressive entity which has effectively enslaved its people in an attempt to create what is essentially an artificial and unworkable state.
Those that believe in Nigeria have every right to continue to do so and to voice their resolve to keep Nigeria one. What they do not have the right to do is to refuse to offer the same degree of freedom of expression to those that do not believe in a united Nigeria and who instead believe in the peaceful dissolution of our nation to speak their minds and voice their views.
What is good for the goose is surely good for the gander. You cannot grant one side of the divide freedom of expression whilst you deny it to the other.

This is all the more so because freedom of expression is the lifeblood of any democracy. It must be accorded in equal measure to those that believe in Nigeria and to those that do not.
It is in this light that we must consider the plight of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra and the man that has been described by the Igbo World Assembly as ''Buhari's first political prisoner''.
We may not like his style, we may not like his radio station, we may not share his views or approve of his methods but one thing that we cannot take from Mr. Kanu is his right to hold such views and to express them in a peaceful and lawful manner no matter how distasteful those views may be to some.
To deny him this most basic human right is not only an act of intellectual terrorism but it is also the most grave and barbaric manifestation of what is essentially an evolving police state where different or contrary views cannot be accommodated by those in power.
When Mr. Alex Salmon and his Scottish Nationalist Party began the agitation for the dissolution of the United Kingdom and for the establishment of Scottish independence many years ago they were not charged to court, locked up indefinitely or murdered by the British authorities but instead they were eventually given the opportunity to participate in a referendum and test their ideas.
The same thing happened in the Catalan region of Spain where the agitation for the establishment of a new nation is compelling and very popular. Sadly President Buhari who, like most in his generation, are still stuck in the mindset of a civil war general, has refused to learn from this.

The biggest mistake and miscalculation of his administration so far is not the ruthless implementation of its patently and monstrously unapologetic northern agenda but rather its absurd resolve to lock up Mr. Kanu indefinitely and to effectively throw the key away simply because he dared to call for the establishment of Biafra.
As far as I am aware Mr. Kanu has not used or advocated the use of violence whilst expressing himself and neither have any of his supporters. One therefore wonders what has panicked the Federal Government to such a point that they not only have to lock him up but that they also have to violate the law of the land by not allowing him to see his lawyer and by not presenting him before a court of law and charging him within the constitutionally-prescribed three days.
State-sponsored violence and intimidation, the violation of human rights, illegal incarceration, the murder of innocents and the vicious suppression of legitimate ideas leads to nothing but hardened hearts, greater defiance and the spread of anger and dissent.
The principle is simple and clear: the more you fan the flame of tyranny and repression the more the passion and fire for liberty spreads.

It follows that the biggest favor that President Buhari's security agencies could have done for the Biafran cause was to lock up Mr. Kanu and thereby transform him from being a little-known secessionist into the living symbol of the Biafran struggle, a respected freedom fighter, a champion of the Igbo people and an internationally-acclaimed political prisoner.
It is no wonder that leading politicians from all over the world, including the former Home Secretary and former Leader of the Labor Party in the United Kingdom, Mrs. Harriet Harman, have called for his release. President Putin of Russia and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of Israel have done the same.
Their call was the right and proper thing to do and I add my voice to that call. I have never met or spoken to Mr. Kanu but I am moved by his passion and courage.
I am also persuaded by the logic and force of his public assertions. He has made a compelling case for the establishment of Biafra and millions of young Igbos from all over the world have bought into it.

It is left for those that do not agree with him to make a better case and to stem the Biafran tide. That is the monumental challenge that those that do not agree with Mr. Kanu's views or his methods have.
I have not always been on the same page with our Igbo brothers yet despite that one thing is clear: only the callous would deny the fact that they have suffered immeasurably in the Nigerian Federation over the last 50 years.
Only the uninformed would deny the fact that they have been butchered, murdered, persecuted, broken, humiliated, insulted, cheated and treated with contempt and disdain more than any other ethnic group in the country since July 1966.
What the Nigerian state is confronted with in the new generation of igbos who refuse to be cowed is a time-bomb. Unlike their fathers they cannot be appeased or intimidated.
They are not fearful of the prospect of a second civil war. They are not prepared to settle for crumbs and neither do they fear death, conflict, defeat, incarceration, butchery or persecution.
They are imbued with a spirit that cannot be suppressed and the more they cry ''Biafra'' the more the spirits of the millions that were slaughtered on the Biafran side during the civil war are invoked.
The more they cry ''Biafra'' the more the souls of the hundreds of thousands of their people that were butchered during the barbaric pogroms in the north in the mid-60's are remembered. The worst thing that the Nigerian authorities can do is to treat them with levity or contempt.


They are angry, they are fed up, they refuse to be enslaved, they want a brighter future and they have come to realise that they have nothing to lose.
The most inappropriate thing that President Buhari can do is to continue to underestimate the power of their resolve or the clarity of their intent. The worst thing that they can do is to begin to jail them, to shed their blood and to take their lives.
The more you lock up the Biafrans, the more they will rise up. The more you mock them, the more they will shout. The more you kill them, the more their anger will be kindled.
The more you deny them, the more they will wax stronger. The more you treat them with disdain, the more they will defy you. You cannot resist an idea whose time has come.
This is a fact that we must all accept and it is with this in mind that I urge President Buhari and the Federal Government to not only release Mr. Nnamdi Kanu but also to tread with the utmost restraint and caution when dealing with those that are agitating for Biafra.

Idrismusty97:
Biafra can secede only when the Palestinian issue is properly addressed. They made the biggest mistake making Israel an oppressive regime their number one friends. The international medias may keep reporting your case, It will be dragged in the UN for decades just like the Palestinians. The UN has been bastardized by America, Only a free Palestinian would be the catalysts for any separatists in the world(Catalonia inclusive), That would show everyone that the world leaders aren't hypocrites.
