These questions are very stupid

The questions are very valid

Ikwerelastborn:
You are still a kid who hasn't left his village, I'm telling you from visits and experiences. Thats how you will leave now and end up homeless

He thinks the other side is as green as portrayed in the movies

IPOB terrorists on the beat

od501:
He announced a sit-at-home exercise, and people obeyed. That didn't look like what "an empty windbag" can do.
I also heard he is a major proponent in the founding of ESN. Again, it is nothing close to what "a rabble-rouser" will do. Let's admit it, these guys are growing stronger by the day, tagging them terrorists and killing every one of them won't solve any problem.

A reasonable government will conduct a referendum if he thinks that 90% of a people from a particular region supports a cause.

the meaning of rabble-rouser is 'A person who tries to stir up masses of people for political action by appealing to their emotions rather than their reason'. Now please tell me if there exists a single IPOB member who reasons rationally. As for his ESN soldiers I'll direct you to Okonso and his boys to answer that

od501:
Then ask yourself, is he more fearless and effective leader than Kanu? Cos I think he is

I doubt it. He's an empty windbag and rabble-rouser who will fail to achieve his objectives

Antoeni:
So this IPOB don’t even have 1 reasonable
Person among them
This is really unfortunate

They are mostly a bunch of rag tag terrorists. That Ekpa guy is trying to convince his followers that he's a more fearless and effective leader than Kanu.

BKayy:
Incase you Nigerians don't know, Simon Ekpa is your nemesis.
Unlike Nnamdi Kanu, he is decisive and does what needs to be done. Not emotional like Nnamdi Kanu and unlike IPOB, he believes freedom is taken not given
If Simon Ekpa, flaunts his own banner today, majority of Ndigbo will abandon IPOB for it. Even my support will shift to his.
In other words, call him the nemesis of Nigeria

he can do no more than a dead dog. Can he have even a fraction of the capacity of boko haram who have waged a brutal war against us for over ten years? He's only making noise because he's so far away. Let him step foot on Nigerian soil and see

The dictator in every Nigerian

We all detest dictatorship when we are the victims of its reverberations, but when we wear the jackboots and are handing down orders, censures; singling shots, cutting down, attacking and destroying other people we palliate our actions. In most cases, we subsume our venture in tyranny as ‘’activism’’ – a term that has now become nebulous and an umbrella for highwaymen clutching the banner of civil advocacy.

There is a dictator in every Nigerian. We want to be heard, but we do not want to hear others. Even when we listen, it is not to understand but to muster ammunition for a belligerent response. The falcon does not hear the falconer. We have become so regimented in our cerebration that any view which does not follow a ‘’popular solitary narrative’’ is blitzed, and the messenger assailed ruthlessly.

It must be our way or the highway to hell. A straitjacket opinion dominates the landscape and all contrary perspectives sentenced to silence. If you dare to think different or say different, you are cancelled, ridiculed, vilified and slandered. In our world, everyone must be on the bandwagon of the solitary narrative. Is this not a tyranny of opinion? Are we not dictators?

I have become a staple for vicious internet hobgoblins. These imps find my unyielding stance on national issues vexatious. To them, it is uncharacteristic for someone from the south-east to speak in defence of Nigeria or take a position away from the prevailing socio-political doctrine. Their run-off-the-mill argument is that since I am Igbo, I must defend the Igbo – whether for good or for evil. But I cannot fit into that provincial receptacle. It is not me. My calling is for humanity regardless of tribe, religion or political persuasion.

When it is time to take a righteous stand for any group whether – Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Fulani, Igala, Ibibio, or Ijaw – I will proudly do so. What affects one afflicts all of us.

Native mentation. This is our challenge — to see in tribal silos and do not to think beyond the tribe. We must evolve beyond this drawback. Armies of Nigerians from different sections of the country must rise up and defend Nigeria and Nigerians. We should not always retreat into ethnic shells and interpret national matters by sectional prejudice. We must stand in the beautiful middle dividing nonsenses.

My stint in activism enriched my knowledge of civil advocacies – and their ugly underbelly. The clouds are not always white and robins do not always sing. The Nigerian civil society space is one that is tainted and blackened by ego, rapaciousness, and sleaze. I participated in some advocacies in the past with a mind brimming with passion for Nigeria and a fist raised for a change in my country. I was naive. My dispassionate commitment to certain causes and conviction led me down the primrose path of deception. In my innocence, I assumed everyone raising a fist and parroting slogans had genuine intentions.

It was devastating for me when I realised some of these advocacies are well-oiled campaigns promoted by unclean characters. Most civil advocacies do not sprout organically. There is always a mighty hand behind the curtains pulling the marionettes.

There is also the all-knowing complex with the activism industry. ‘’Activists’’ appear to have the right prescriptions to Nigeria’s problems as well as the Midas touch to turn things around. They make pleasing noises; shout the loudest in the room, deliver wry but perfect one-liners, and seal every oration with powerful quotes from famous persons — all by rote. They know what to say in every situation. But many of these advocates from the Nigerian ‘’activism community’’ found themselves in government and became what they stood against in their days in the trenches – and instead of bringing change, they caused government to atrophy with a Sadim touch.

A once vibrant activist with a mouth full of hot words revealed his true plumage and betrayed his hypocrisy when he became state governor and then national chairman of a major political party. There are many like that in the activism community waiting for their turn at the table. And while they are waiting they must keep shouting until their mouth is fed.

While the ‘’activism community’’ claims to be at war with tyranny, it does not brook opposition. Members who do a volt-face or have a change of perspective are ‘’de-comraded’’ or dismissed as ‘’compromised’’. There is a dictatorship of opinion in the activism community. It must be ‘’attack, tear down, criticise and pull down’’. If you happen to point out the flickers of hope in the system, you are reduced to a quisling.

This does not obviate the place of genuine activists – those whose singular pursuit is to see a better Nigeria. Even in a crate of rotten eggs, we still have the unsoiled ones.

There is a dictator in every Nigerian. We hold those in government to scrutiny for alleged acts of tyranny while ignoring our complicity. We should hear one another. If you insist only your way must stand, how are you different from Idi Amin? Dictatorship stirs resistance. When you come to people from a position of tyranny, naturally they will resist you. This is a normal human reaction. No one wants to be dictated to, no one wants to be pushed around or made to feel like an indentured slave. We should hear one another.

The only chance Nnamdi has to get out of jail soon is if Buhari drops dead before his term elapses. Other than that, all these scam artists posing as prophets should take a chill. Anyway December is not too far

This Ekpa no know say one skinny Fulani man with an AK47 fit put am for the condition wey Mazi Kanu dey right now . Dumbass talkative clown!

Spending123:
The same fate awaits Buhari..

Is there an existing ICC indictment against Buhari that we're unaware of or are you just high on Kanu's urine?

hammerDK:
SIMON EKPA IS OLD TESTAMENT, BLOOD SWEAT AND GUTS.


VERY DIFFERENT FROM NNAMDI KANU.




WE TOLD THEM KANU REPLACEMENT WIL LBE TOUGH.

We need him to leave Finland immediately on some urgent IPOB business. Some people want to have word with him

What is this obsession the ibos have with illicit drugs? Is this what their proposed Biafra republic will be known for?

BabbanBura:
Guy leave that matter, mosques that were demolished because they were harbouring BH members, which of the churches demolished harboured any form of terrorism?

If zulum is to demolish mosques for reasons of violations, I can assure you that atleast 500 mosques inside the metropolitan area will be gone. This is because 90% of the mosques are built on streets with atleast one quarter to the half of rhe building clearly encroached to the streets. Secondly, mosques are being built all over the places in residential areas.

These Muric submission is once again baseless and a support for persecution of Christians and the Church.

If the dammed church structure was built illegally he did a wonderful job by getting rid of it. You can scream persecution from now until eternity nobody cares

De facto zoo monkey in a cage you mean?

Well there's an empty cage right next to Cownu's and you're very much welcome to occupy

Fahdiga:
Same way Biafra will soon gain more grounds against this shithole

With your unknown gunmen?

IBB can only tell this to the children who were either infants or not even born during his regime. As for those of us who had to live through the t malfeasance that went on during the years 1985-1993, can only say Buhari's regime is saintly as compared

WandaNara:
Make US come recolonize Nigeria abeg.



The Brits are evil

Colonize only you and your family house you say?

Asgard73:
They were screaming we hid and supported Oyeama.. like say the did anyone favor..

Fani-Kayode a typical Yoruba man ... they love taking advantage of situations to shalaye

Even the Oyeama igbos no send am.. he’s on his own..
Infact both Oyeama and kyari should be extradited.. weda US want him or not.

Careless and shameless

The above statement is a lie. Or do you want me to dig up the thread where you guys supported him when hi indictment came out?

MadamVanessa:
From inception, that dumb retarrrded thing from Daura has been a kidnapper. And i am not surprised, because kidnapping, maiming, killing, raping, stealing are atrocities known to be committed by fulani, and the dullarrd is a fulani man.. so he's certainly doing what his ancestors and his people are known to be doing.

MNK, is bigger than them all, even as the dullarrd is a president of a zoo, believe me, he's not still fit or worthy to loose MNK shoe laces. This not me trying to demeaned him, this is m saying the fact.

Yeah and take a good look at the big man now

Still doesn't make Allen any less of a crook than Kyari. In fact Allen is a bigger crook than Kyari

vasel15:
We don't need it, I have educated you slow kids we don't need anyone to access the atlantic

All these maps you're flaunting don't mea a thing. Not only are you a dot in a circle you also lack the necessary resources to build a viable state. Hence your jailbird leader's continued obsession with the coastal tribes who have rejected you over and over anyway

It's too late for that now as they've already gone terrorist. They should have taken Buhari's advice to them back in 2016 to register as a political party and contest elections but they were busy chanting "No refelendum no erection" LoL!

Without the south south coastal ethnic groups support Biafra is a mirage

Will they discuss Nnamdi Kanu or will Johnson order for Buhari's arrest?

Fahdiga:
Buhari should release NK for peace to reign

Not in a million years. You can lockdown till eternity if you like

Ibo and cocaine

BafanaBafana:
Now imagine how the wives of the security personnel he killed will feel.
Imagine

They just murdered 2 police officers in Enugu yesterday. His wife should just go and remarry cos the zoo ain't letting that animal out of its cage anytime soon

Sebastine1994:
"No parents or other guardians or relatives of minors shall organize, induce or force minors to participate in religious activities," the law states.

That law doesn't apply in Nigeria

Sebastine1994:
oboy china is my back yard. I have uighur friends too.
children are not permitted in mosque or church until they turn 18.

they can only chose a religion when they turn 18, which by then is too late, to chose a religious side.

check out the fulan gong of china. read about them. they are not a religion but see what the government did to them

why do you think Muslim prefer visiting America than China.

you can't pray in workplace

That's not my point. You said 'how can parents force religion on their children before the age of 18' and I countered by asking you if your own parents didn't do the same

Sebastine1994:
Do you want to see suicide bombers in China?

china permits Islam but it has rules for religious people.

you can't force a religion on your kids until they are 18 and can make a decision.






this news sweet me

This is a hypocritical statement. All parents force religion on their children from a very early age. Tell us the lie about how your parents never forced you to attend church every Sunday as a kid
