I tot kANU was grated bail on basis dat he needed to tk care of his health?? Why is he neva in d hospital?? Abi na herbal drugs im dy take??

he always treat himself in London just like your president, hence his passport was seized so he will wait until his password is returned to him. he doesn't trust Nigeria hospital.

IpobExposed:
Nnamdi Kanu should be arrested for disobeying the bail conditions.

Nigeria is a republic and one of the features of republicanism is that there is a rule of law like in section 1 and everyone is equal before the law. Like in section 17 sub 2 sub section a.

Nnamdi Kanu is an impenitent man and must be arrested.

His council should file a suit against the bail conditions. You don't contravene it.

not only that you are deluded i can equally see that your problem is inability to cognitively grasp and interpret write-ups. you read were it was written " he said it through his lawyer" that means nnamdi kanu did not directly pass that message to his supporters, hence it was done through a middle man "his lawyer" in my own view he has not offended the law.

IpobExposed:
Nnamdi Kanu was told not to make any media speech but since then he addressed Vanguard how he will never relent.
Now he is advising IPOB members through media to sit at home. This is luculent disobedience to the law.

so director house too nah BROWN ROOF

i said at the back of directors house, if I may ask you question; have you been to the palace of igwe Israel before, do you know the number of houses in that palace? I don't think you are an igbo to have asked me this question, because if you are you will know that in igboland, in a compound we may have a lot of paternal buildings. I did not say that all the houses your seeing belong to director. we went to the back purposely for the parade.

am a core, die-hard Biafran but I don't agree with dis. We shouldn't make jokes out of serious things. D guys I see in dat pic, in fact, d whole environment seem unserious to me. Even if we r to train soldiers, we must not alert our adversary to it, keep it on a low key, make it a surprise.
God bless Biafra!

bro we are wiser for any propagandas the zoo media may bring, this may be the potential armies of biafra, but I must confess to you that they are not in any shape or form training for any combat, this was when we were singing biafra national anthem when we came to pay our director visit after his release, this place we were, was the back of our director's palace. for your information I was among them there, so I know what am saying.

'Surely, they shall gather'
They are wasting their time. The words on every body's lips in anambra is "you dont fix what is not broken". They don't see any reason why anybody will want to vote against the performing governor, Chief Willie Obiano.
Meanwhile, if anambra doesn't re-elect APGA in Chief Obiano, they will opt for the PDP, but not APC. They are all aware of the ruin and suffering APC brings in anywhere they enter.
Incidentally, PDP in anambra(even with all the dusputes) seems to be presenting credible and irresistable candidates than these rogues being paraded here in the APC. Men like Osita Chidoka.

PS, they should stop referring to Tony Nwoye as a doctor, he fell out long before I joined the university but was still in the school doing NANS. Nobody at our set could remember the course he was admitted for. He is a drop out.

BREAKING NEWS: ANAMBRA CENTRAL SENATORIAL ELECTION

The Supreme Court on Thursday 11th May, 2017 struck the interlocutory appeal filed by the PDP challenging the decision of the Court of Appeal, which grants Chief Sir Victor Umeh the leave to appeal the judg­ement of the Federal High Court Abuja, delivered by Justice Anuli Chikere.

Recall that Justice Anuli Chikere gave some contradicting Judgement which she later resolved herself.

The Supreme Court also gave an order for accelerated hearing on the matter.

Also, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, seriously warned Peter Obi's lawyer never to appear in court for the PDP. He made it clear that PDP National Secretariat is not aware of any court case concerning Anambra Central.

Ndi be Anyi, the storm is over as we await INEC's urgent response.


With God on our side victory is assured.

Lol

But when elections commence, we contest and even queue up in polling centers to thumbprint.

Anambra elections is coming soon and the same people agitating for Biafra are queuing up to register. Why not boycott the elections?

Look at the elites in Igboland. They hardly associate with the movement or cause. Even after the masses get killed,they hardly speak up or show any solidarity.

I stopped taking Biafra serious, the day Kanu started associating with our politicians.

pls just keep cool and watch events as they unfold in later days, we queue to register does not mean we shall vote that day in amambra . we are wiser than them all and we are 7 steps ahead of them. it remains TOTAL BOYCOTT OF ELECTION IN BIAFRALAND. amambra election will set the precedence, watch and see.

fineboynl:
if KANU was wise he wouldn't have accepted that bail conditions. now he will end up putting those who perfected his bails in soup if he misbehave. he foolishly signed what he knows nothing about. he has been deceived

if you have half of nnamdi kanu's intelligence, you will not have time like this to spend on nairaland typing this trash.

Yyeske:
I won't really be obliged to go personal with you, meanwhile Nwoke Eziokwu bu ndu, kindly tell her to stay around to lead the next protest..
Stop using abusive words, it adds nothing to the crap you're agitating for. You're a kid and can never match me man to man and good enough i stay in Onitsha.

i can see you have lost what it take to tackle me constructively, now when will you call for the next protest so I can tell her to stay for it, but for all I understand all protest has been suspended for now in biafra land from IPOB highest command, hence the struggle has entered into another face. what we are observing now is sit at home so which date do you choose to call for your own protest if you have the 'balls' to command for a protest so I can notify her. small boy like you engaging me in an argument. I stay in Abia, because Eziokwu bu ndu nwachineke.

Yyeske:
Story for the gods, where was she when miscreants were walking aimlessly in Onitsha, Aba, Asaba, PH etc or are you telling me that your Biafra will be declared in London? Eziokwu gini?

I will take you serious if you can tell or quote anywere ,we're revolution has been carried out from the point of discuss, in other word every revolution has been carried out ,outside the territory of the assumed enemy especially by those who are spearheading such revolution. it is just a pity that you can not swallow your shame, when you don't have what it takes to engage me in a constructive arguments. the order was ..... protest were ever you reside and she protested based on were she reside and I also protested base on where I reside. all those who protested in Biafraland did such because that is were they reside. hence she also protested in London because that is were she reside. Now kiss the truth. in your first argument, you presented your case as if she had never protested since this struggle began; hence, I deconstructed your argument by even providing you with facts and figures that she has once protested but interesting of you to swallow your shame and go back to your shell, you rather prefer to go the way of deluded sets of miscreants on nairaland by saying ( story for the gods) which shows that even though you accept that your argument has been defeated but you equally beg me to knock some sense into your empty skull, which I have just done. even though am not surprised because it is what you are paid for, that your doing. family of BMC. Boy, I may not be able to give all the senses you needs to be functional in you life, hence am ordering you to go and get more sense so that you can be effectively useful to your self because Eziokwu bu ndu.

The Generation that fought that war were as agile as ever, more robust than the clowns of today, It might interest you to note that the first troops Ojukwu sent to defend Biafra at the onset of the war had sticks and machetes, very few had dane guns, yet their ignorance made them to confront a Nigerian side with everything you can see today, young man, when it comes to balls, those guys have a bag full, let us quickly juxtapose with your generation.

All biafran notable festivities before now usually end up in a city lockdown and riots of different forms in major cities, just a little AK47 scare of the Nigerian authorities, cowards like you have changed all time tables to sit at home [/b]events, [b]what the fvck is sit at home?
who do you think you are f00ling? yet you have the asinine temerity to compare yourself with your aborigines who confronted mortars and automatic rifles bare chested? please quit comparing life and death, your generation is dead!!
The only thing your generation share in common with those before you is ignorance and ignorance alone!!

If at your adult age, despite the height of civilization, you sincerely believe a Nematode like Nnamdi kanu will secure Biafra for you, then you are f00lish beyond redemption, the first day I heard that young man on radio, i was more convinced than ever that he has no idea where and how biafra will be gotten, but of course, cheerleaders like your miserable self are gloating about like something is about to happen. Young man let me tell you the only thing that will happen, Your stvp!dity will be cured in the fullness of time.
Save this post and show your kids, tell them someone warned their daddy!!

I never wanted to respond to your quote, how ever I shall do for clarity ,but I have no doubt that your just a small boy babbling on nairaland land. you Do mention that the generation that fought the war were agile and ever, OK accepted. however you also failed to understand that the blood of those agile soldiers run through our veins and as you have postulated that our forefathers fears no intimidation, hence their offsprings are not excepted. let me tell you one thing, I have participated in many protest in this struggle of restoration, I have seen my fellow comrades in their hundreds fall by my left and right side, hence those that are still standing, stand tall. you failed to understand that we have sworn an oath to restore biafra or we shall die, we make it know that anything that serves as predicament towards this restoration shall be crushed without Marcy. let me tell you if your in Nigeria typing this trash, the only reason why you can conveniently type this thing with your mind at rest is the simple fact the the crops of biafrans fighting for this restoration are under COMMAND AND CONTROL order. I swear with God almighty, the very day that biafrans are ask to defend their selves from highest authority that is championing this very struggle, I still swear every thing in Nigeria will go up in flames. what people like you fail to understand is the fact that this struggle did not start today, it is a struggle that has been planned and concluded years before now, we are just implementing the plans. I can assure you and I still swear that if by any means Nigerian government forces this struggle to go the way of arm struggling (war) , I can assure you biafrans have gotten what it will take to sustain it for even 200 years to come I swear with everything I know the plans have been drawn and concluded. now I ask you this question, how sure are you that Nigeria government are ready for another civil war, you as a person are you ready for what is to come?. let me quickly comment on the issue of protest and sit at home you mentioned, before we commence on this struggle, there were plans on grand in fact about seven plans and out of it we are still on one which is protest in which we tend to call the attention of the world towards biafra predicament hence, that one has been achieved and as you can see no we're in the world that the world leaders are not aware of biafra agitation except if you just want to be lying to your self and your here masturbating all over nairaland. for your information the biafra struggle has entered the second face and the world is watching that is why we adopted the strategy of sit at home for this second face, all the seven plans have their strategies, when we get to each plans we shall role their strategies out one after the other so sit tight and watch as things unfold. for the sit at home, what we intend to achieve is this, we know fully well that Nigeria government will be very reluctant to conduct a referendum for biafrans to decide for their future hence, we are 7 steps ahead of Nigeria government. have it at the back of your mind that international communities are critically watching the development in Nigeria hence this sit at home will serve as a mock referendum for the foreign observers to see how determined this people are to leave Nigerian and the results of that sit at home shall be noted. and from there, we shall know the next step to take, you think that every step Ipob employs are not among the plans, your just being delusional. I just gave you tips of what is on ground because I realized your not properly informed, let me tell you by the time 3-7 plans are displayed I swear with My creator Nigeria will cease to exist. the greatest mistakes Nigeria government made was to have undermining the resolve of IPOB to restore biafra, the time of killing peaceful protesters are far gone our aims have been achieved with their death even though they paid the ultimate price hence, we shall reserve the remaining manpower for the taste ahead it is the oath we took it is just that my own time has not come yet. even if this struggle will lead to war, then we would have gotten to a stage were it will be very difficult for Nigeria government to get many foreign back up by then biafra call for self determination would have saturated all over the universe. the only reason why Nigeria won the past civil war was that the world was crossly misinformed by the British government but this time around, we shall surprise Nigeria government. So don't think we are cowards, although our strategies may be slow and steady but we are on the right track we made for ourselves and it is working, don't pity us biafrans anymore because we are already living dead, however I will employ you to pity Nigeria for what is about to happen to her. it is biafra or death. (shalom)

Laughing at the Gullible, if Ojukwu could sacrifice over 1 million of them, why not me?

you will be surprised for what is about to come, bear it in mind that time and space have changed, this is 2017 and not 1967, the generation that fought that war then are at their declining stage now and the schools of agitators that are in this 21st Century are more determined to restore their country or anything that serves like an obstruction for then goes down with them. so pls watch and see as time shall tell.

Obi1kenobi:
Ordinarily, I'd just laugh this stuff away. But what I've often found galling is the motive behind this Igbo Jewish claim. Many Igbo people tend to be braggarts, moreso than other Nigerian ethnicities, and in line with the bragging, when many Igbo people tell you they're Jewish, what they're basically saying is "I'm one of the chosen race of people and I'm better than the rest of you Negro peasants". Hence you see many clowns carrying around Israeli flags on their car dashboards and even okada riders attach the crap to their bikes. It's a shameful denial of your identity.

FROM IPOB LEADERSHIP
.
We want to use this opportunity to notify the public that Muhammadu Buhari’s handlers have once again failed woefully in their amateurish hatchet jobs. There is no iota of truth in all the stories being circulated on the internet safe for the authenticated pictures and videos in which our leader appeared. Our position is that we shall allow these enemies of Biafra to vent and deflate....then we shall bury them with the truth. Please disregard all publications not from radio biafra, IPOB leadership or from authorised ipob spokespersons or IPOB media and publicity Secretary .Biafra Restoration under the supreme leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is irreversible, unassailable and insurmountable. Furthermore, the heart of this project MUST Not be allowed to see corruption. While we pay courtesy call to some individuals and groups, we want to make bold to say that such should not be taken for granted.....this is a very direct warning to those who want to use the opportunity for their own selfish political advantage. They know that there is a gagging order restraining our leader from speaking for now to the press, remove this order and the zoo will sink overnight.Be rest assured that we are doing something about it.Please, be advised that IPOB can never negotiate the freedom of Biafran people for money. This platform cannot be MONITISED. Millions have sacrificed their lives for goodness sake.Be guided accordingly Biafrans, friends of Biafra and humanity at large. Remain resolute, remain courageous, remain focused never set your eyes off the ball!

Jubilation as Kanu regains freedom
Kanu, Igbo, Biafran agitators must learn from this — Chekwas Okorie
By Emeka Mamah, Clifford Ndujihe, Ikechukwu Nnochiri & Johnbosco Agbakwuru
ABUJA – EXACTLY 563 days after his arrest and detention, Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, regained his freedom around 6:40pm, yesterday, after he perfected all the bail conditions handed to him by trial Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
Kanu, who arrived the high court premises around 6:20pm in a black Toyota jeep with registration number ABC-46-MU, was formally released to Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe; a Jewish High Chief Priest, Immanuu-El Shalom and a Chartered Accountant residing in Abuja, Mr. Tochukwu Uchendu, the three sureties who signed his bail bond. Kanu’s lawyer, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor and the three sureties were at the high court registry earlier in the day to sign the necessary bail documents.
However, in line with an order of the Judge, the IPOB leader was brought back to the court from Kuje prison to sign an undertaken that he would be available to answer to the five-count charge the Federal Government entered against him.
Immediately he was formally released by the prison officials, Kanu was received by a jubilant crowd including his relatives. Some people struggled to take photographs with him at the court premises.
“I feel good that at the end of the day we were able to effect his release from incarceration and we believe that going forward, we will be able to properly address and resolve issues behind his agitation”, Senator Abaribe told newsmen.
Kanu, who had been in detention since October 14, 2015, secured bail from the high court on April 25.
Justice Binta Nyako said her decision to release Kanu who is the 1st defendant before the court, on bail, was based on health grounds.
She cited an affidavit that was attached to the bail application Kanu filed through his lawyer, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor.
Specifically, the court held that Kanu must produce three sureties, including a “highly respected and recognised jewish leader.”
According to the court, aside a jewish leader, Kanu must also produce a “highly placed person of Igbo extraction”, as well as “a highly respected person who is resident and owns landed property in Abuja”. Each of the sureties must deposit N100million.
Justice Nyako had in the course of the ruling, asked Kanu to tell the court the religion he believes in, considering that one of the bail conditions would include his production of a highly placed religious leader.
“My lord I believe in Judaism”, Kanu replied from the dock. So you are a Jew then?”, the Judge queried. “Yes I am a Jew”, Kanu maintained.
“Good. In that case, one of the sureties must be a highly respected and recognised Jewish leader,’’ Justice Nyako added.
The three persons that signed IPOB leader bail bond, From the right, Tochukwu Uchendu, Jewish Chief High Priest, Immanuel-El Shalom Oka-Ben Madu and Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe.
As part of his conditions for bail, Kanu, was expressly barred by the court from attending any rally or granting any form of interview.
“I must stress it here that the defendant must not attend any rally. He must not be in a crowd exceeding 10 persons”, the Judge warned.
Justice Nyako equally held that Kanu who was arrested by security operatives upon his arrival to Nigeria from the United Kingdom, must sign an undertaken to make himself available for trial at all times.
Kanu was ordered to surrender his Nigerian and British international passports, even as the court compelled the Federal Government to return to him, his wedding ring and reading glasses.
However, Kanu’s co-defendants, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi, were denied bail by the court which described the charges against them as “very serious”.
Justice Nyako said the fact that she earlier struck out terrorism charges the Federal Government slammed against the defendants did not water-down the seriousness of the treason charge against them.
How Kanu met bail conditions
Speaking to Saturday Vanguard after signing the bail bond, Senator Abaribe said as the representative of the people, he would always come to their rescue in time of need even as he advised them not to sacrifice their lives in whatever agitations they are embarking upon. “I came here to sign the bail bond for Nnamdi Kanu. You recall that one of the conditions for his bail is that a Senator will have to sign for him and that is why I am here. I just signed the bail bond,” he said.
Kanu and some family members leaving prison
In his message to youths from South East, Senator Abaribe said: “What I am telling the youths from the South East is that they don’t need to sacrifice their lives for any agitation they are doing. We will support their decisions, we will also in some way be alive to our responsibilities as those who are representing them at the National Assembly and the larger national polity of Nigeria. They should have trust that we have their interest at heart.”
Also speaking, Tochukwu Uchendu, an Accountant and an entrepreneur said that he was optimistic that after fulfilling the bail conditions, the IPOB leader would be released.
“We are here to sign a bail bond for Nnamdi Kanu and I have signed. The cost of freedom is high, but the important thing is that the condition is being met, that is what is important. People have offered to secure his freedom. We are working to ensure his release today.”
Another person and a Jewish High Chief Priest, Immanuel-El Shalom Oka-Ben Madu, who also signed the bail bond said, “I am here because there was a message across to bail my younger brother. As a religious organisation leader, they requested my attention that is why I am here. I am a Jewish man. I have fulfilled the bail process. By Yahweh’s grace I believe he will be released as soon as possible because nothing is more than our creator in heaven.”
Roles played by South-East Senate caucus
Saturday Vanguard reliably gathered that the South-East Caucus of the Senate, met on Thursday and agreed to bail the IPOB leader.
At an emergency meeting held at the Apo Quarters residence of Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, sources said the lawmakers discussed the stringent bail conditions granted Kanu by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja on Tuesday.
Said the source: “First, the Caucus agreed to work as a team to secure Kanu’s release. It was agreed that the leader of the Caucus and Senator representing Abia South Senatorial District, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe or the Senator representing the IPOD leader’s Abia Central Senatorial District, Senator Theodore Orji, should take him on bail.”
The source said that the South East Senate Caucus had also made contact with Nnamdi’s lawyers on the decision to ensure that his bail is perfected. The Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the Igbo Youth Movement, IYM, and the Eastern Consultative Assembly,ECA, expressed excitement over Kanu’s release from prisons after perfecting his bail conditions saying that it was a good step forward. They however, asked the Federal Government to drop the charges against Kanu.
President General of Ohanaeze and Founder of IYM, Chief Nnia Nwodo and Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko spoke during separate telephone interviews while reacting to Kanu’s release, last night.
Nwodo said: “Although it is just a bail, we are very excited. We hope they will ultimately drop the charges against Kanu and other members of IPOB. We are indeed happy that he was able to meet the stringent conditions.”
Ugochukwu- Uko said: “We thank all those who signed the bail forms for Nnamdi Kanu. They have written their names in gold. We particularly commend Benjamin Madubugwu, Chidiebere Onwudiwe and David Nwawuchi who allowed Kanu to leave them behind in prison. They asked Kanu to step out and we commend them for their sagacity and nobility.
Also, in her reaction, the Deputy Leader of Eastern Consultative Association, ECA, Chief (Mrs) Marie Okwo, also thanked God that Kanu would now enjoy some air of freedom after long incarceration in jail and asked the Federal Government to release the rest of IPOB members being tried along with him.
These are the worst bail conditions ever given in Nigeria Chekwas Okorie Speaking on the issue yesterday, National Chairman of the United Progressive Party, UPP, Chief Chekwas Okorie, said he is happy over Kanu’s freedom but lamented that the bail conditions were unprecedented and the worst ever in the history of the country.
He also said Biafra agitators, who ask Igbo people to boycott elections and other civic activities in Nigeria must learn from the episode because it would have been difficult to meet the stringent bail conditions without Igbo senators like Abaribe.
His words: ‘’I am very excited about Kanu’s freedom from incarceration but the bail conditions are the most wicked, obnoxious and stringent that we have ever had in the history of Nigeria. I thank all those who rose to meet the bail conditions. The Igbo and those agitating for Biafra have a lesson to learn from the episode. The struggle for Biafra is for all- the politician, businessman, civil servant and religious are all important. Some people used Radio Biafra to canvass that Igbo people should boycott elections.
If Igbo people boycotted the elections how would they have filled the gap that Senator Abaribe filled?’’
His release is long over due – Ankio-Briggs Human Rights Activist, Mrs Ankio-Briggs, said Kanu’s freedom is long overdue and hoped that there are not behind the scene moves to re-arrest Kanu because saying that he must not be with more than 10 persons at a time is a landmine.
She said: ‘’Kanu’s release is long over due because his matter went up to the ECOWAS court, a lot of judges gave orders that he should be released but the government disobeyed the orders. His release should be the beginning of this government obeying court orders and the Judiciary living up to the elevation the common man placed it.
‘’I hope there is no behind the scene plan to rearrest Nnamdi Kanu. We must be alert to tell them that, that cannot be accepted. The case should begin, there are three other people with Kanu that should be bailed. I am proud of Kanu as a leader of his people because of his insistence that those detained with him should be released and glad to know that those people prevailed on him to accept the freedom. There are many prisoners of conscience in Nigeria. We must begin to agitate that they must be released.’’
