I had refrained from engaging you after our last conversation over fuel subsidy in which you became emotionally charged and blocked me but I see you’ve unblocked my account that’s why I can read your thread again. Let me try one last time to reason with you…. Before fuel subsidy was removed, you were one of the chief advocates of its removal making similar posts and arguments you are making now over electricity subsidy removal. I told you back then that for any policy to succeed you must consider the corrupt nature of the current government, I told you that even though you may have a point over deregulation that if those in government are corrupt and are only interested in looting, such policies won’t benefit the people as it will only destroy Nigeria’s economy but you didn’t agree with me back then. Now, what do you’ve to say over the terrible economic state of the country today since it’s removal? What do you’ve to say over the fact that Nigeria has incurred far more debts and spent far more since it’s removal? I do not engage much over discussions about Nigeria’s economy or subsidy online debates because I knew back then all that’s happening now will happen if fuel subsidy and devaluation of Naira was implemented by the government. Nigeria currently is at a hopeless stage with so many Nigerians driven into poverty daily as a direct consequence of what you and so many other people advocated for 3 years ago that Tinubu’s corrupt government implemented and squandered it’s savings….. Now you are talking about electricity subsidy removal. If electricity subsidy is removed at this time and electricity fee goes up, who will pay for it? Who will bear the consequences if not Nigerians? You know the implication this will have on productive sectors of the economy that are already at the brink of total collapse as a result of the high cost of production, you can already see the widespread hunger and low purchasing power of the people. How will Nigeria’s fragile bastardized import driven economy survive without subsidies on any strategic sectors such as energy?

IMHO, Nigeria is already a hopeless cause and a national reset is needed but @nairalanda1 you don’t expect greedy Tinubu and his corrupt greedy cruel government to kill everyone in Nigeria with these kind of draconian deregulation policies you keep advocating for before the inevitable national reset or dissolution happens….

nairalanda1:
One thing I have noticed about discussions in the run up to the elections is the lack of discussion on what our leaders should do about the problems of the day. Instead there is a lot of time wasted painting the other sides black..and hypocritical

For example, one thing that gets tinubu, obi and atiku supporters riled up is by trying to discuss how to improve electricity supply. Neither one of them wants to confront the hard truth that unless the sector is deregulated, and allowed to set its prices, it is not going to improve. So, their response is basically abuse, and then calling you obidient, agbadoe, or whatever abuse comes to mind.

Second, there is the issue of borrowing. We all agree the borrowing is too much, but I cannot see any tinubu, obi or atiku supporter articulate a means of reducing borrowing other than the tired slogan of 'we should end coorruption...which is not wrong, I don't disagree with it...but because reducing borrowing means focusing on things like improving tax coverage, and taxing the rich, they abuse anyone who raises the issue.

The problem with nigerian politics, is that most people want their side in power. That is all. All those nairalanders who write long stories about how 'Nigeria needs change' or 'how tinubu is changing nigeria' do not want the kind of change that would make nigeria better...because it means their side would lose power. Easily

Like now, the only good thing tinubu has done is to remove subsides. Which was forced on him by circumstances. And for that he is going to be voted out. Just as GEJ who did a massive partial removoal of subsides...which is probably why our debt is not three times higher than it is today...got voted out for doing so. Imagine if he had done full removal of subsides.

I have no hope for nigeria improving, despite the fact that I am sure tinubu would be voted out. Nigerians only care about their daily bread, not about tomoorrow's bread. Even if tinubu wins, the same mentaility pervades his supporters and even the leadership. Nigerians need to stop looking for daily bread and start focusing on long term solutions. We need to stop using corruption as a slogan , and poverty as an excuse, and start focusing on long term solutions today.

Otherwise, we would run out of money tomorrow, and things would get really bad.

But then again, I'm not holding my breath. When a tinubu supporter praises his leader for removing subsidy, and then uses the same arguments anti-fuel subsidy removal people use against removing subsides on electricity, I'm seeing policy inconsistencies.


Also, the solutions many have for poverty, government included, amount to borrowing more to pay for welfare projects. We are merely quibbling over what is a good welfare project. Meanwhile, none of the sides has any answer to our unemployment or lack of productivity, or removing price controls over electricity...because facing the truth is too difficult for most on this site.

IMHO, as long as Nigeria is concerned, any revolution that is led by a single individual is bound to fail. It has to be spontaneous, a mass action with no single visible leader (A leader may exist but hidden by the people), a movement of genuinely angry people cut across all tribes, who have had enough over the terrible state of their country and want to be free…. This is why I said earlier that majority of Nigerians are not genuinely tired of Tinubu or genuinely angry over what his government has done to them in the past 3 years…. For any revolution to happen and succeed, the majority of the people must truly be fed up with the system, react spontaneously by damning the consequences, unite through a nationwide mass movement to shut down the country using any of the existing national human rights and pressure group platforms or just boycott the system entirely on their own until the government yields to their demands…..

zoghys:
Dey play, can you front it that's my question.

That’s okay but stop pretending, no sensible person should expect a free and fair election from a crooked politician like Tinubu and his terribly corrupt government especially under these circumstances….

helinues:
What I support is none of your business

Many of them know deep down that there is no bright future under the current 1999 military constitutional political arrangement but choose to lie to themselves due to tribalism, selfish sentiments, corruption and fear of the unknown over Nigeria’s disintegration….

TheStoriesOfMan:
Look at the highlight of truthera's post:

Since 1999 you started voting for politicians in national elections, what has changed for the better in Nigeria?

Your answer determines your state of mind and if anybody is ready for real proper change.

Nobody should tell me crap by saying it's resource control or NELFUND.

IMHO, even if the opposition unite, the best outcome will be a very close race that will still guarantee a victory for Tinubu because he controls the INEC, judiciary and other key government “independent” bodies. No election that Tinubu controls can remove him as president…. To stop Tinubu, there must be a deliberate effort by the masses to reject him either through a nationwide civil disobedience (revolution) or court order disqualifying him indefinitely from participating in any election…..

PROPHETmichael:
There is only one way to stop Tinubu, and that is for all opposition parties to unite under one platform and present a single candidate. Anything other than that, just say A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Tunubu.

If Buhari could rule for eight years despite his poor performance across virtually every sector, then nothing will stop Tinubu unless the opposition comes together as one under a single political platform.

Every divided opposition vote strengthens the incumbent. Whether people admit it or not, Obi and Atiku are indirectly helping Tinubu by splitting opposition votes.

If the opposition truly wants to defeat Tinubu in 2027, they need to put their differences aside, unite behind one candidate and focus on winning. Politics is about numbers, strategy and power.

Your question is irrelevant because you know the truth and yet choose to support your oppressors for crumbs…. The fact remains that you are supporting a bad government that has done nothing extraordinary to help but to inflict economic pain and sorrow to a large number of people….

helinues:
That wasn't the question I asked you

A revolution must not necessarily be a street protest as you may presume….. Nigerians can simply shut down the country by boycotting all activities like it was done in south east but this time around on a national scale…. Shut down the revenue stream of those in government, do not pay any tax, government workers should close offices and not resume indefinitely. A revolution is easier than you may think without violence by the people through civil disobedience of not cooperating with the bad government for at least 2 or 3 weeks of total nationwide shutdown…. This will drive home a strong message of rejection not just locally to Tinubu and his political criminal gang but internationally as well…. The message will be clear to the world that the people want the government dissolved…. Tinubu will have no other option but to yield to both local and international pressures. Once Tinubu is gone, the people can go a step further to demand for their freedom through a referendum that will lead to a national reset if they want…. Anything is possible if there is a united front by the people against their evil political oppressors…..

zoghys:
Be at the forefront of that revolution. Volunteer your name, pics, address, family info and if any is outside the country, bring them back and I will personally follow suite.

Reading the pathetic comments made above, it is obvious that many Nigerians are truly not fed up with Tinubu, you are not really angry over what he has done to you for the past 3 years, you are only pretending to be fed up..... If the comments made here truly represent at least 50% of the opinion shared by the masses then it is safe to say that tribalism and sectional sentiments have already done half of the job for Tinubu, his reelection and massive victory next year will be easier than I anticipated..... A revolution remains the most effective way to stop these political vultures from further destroying and oppressing Nigerians. Anyone looking for a savior to liberate them by leading a revolution for them is not ready or tired of Tinubu and his horrible government..... It is either Nigerians liberate themselves by fighting for their freedom now or endure another 4 years of Tinubu.....

As it stands, Nigerians are about to make the same mistake they made in 2023…. Tinubu will get another term on a platter if nothing extraordinary is done by Nigerians to stop him....

IMHO, Nigerians are to blame for making Tinubu your demigod….

HacheNoire:
Stop The Demigod- His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)? 🤣😂🤣😂

The major problem of you humans is that, you are over ambitious. You don’t know your limits!

Didn’t you read my comment? Nigeria has no independent government agencies or arm left…. IMHO, Tinubu controls all arms of government including the judiciary….

helinues:
What current situation. Let's use your personal life as reference..Are you saying things are getting harder for you since president Tinubu took over 3 years ago?

I will keep this post simple and straight to the point, so that all you online supporters of Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar can understand. There is no way to sugarcoat what will happen if Nigerians who genuinely care about their future and want positive change play Tinubu’s game next year by participating in his rigged scripted selection process called 2027 presidential election. Tinubu will not and cannot lose in an election he controls….. this is the simple truth that many of you Obidients and Atikulators don’t want to accept but it will happen if you go ahead to participate in that election without doing any thing extraordinary to stop Tinubu now.…. If you truly want Tinubu’s government to end between now and next year, you must be ready for a revolution! You must begin a mass movement to demand for Tinubu’s disqualification from participating in that election, only an outright disqualification can cripple his party APC agenda for next year…. There are several cases that should’ve been filed like the fact that he submitted false incomplete documents regarding his educational background to INEC or the US drug related case. Nigerians need to understand that removing Tinubu won’t be a simple task it will require a battle that must be fought either through mass court action or outright revolution that will erase the current corrupt political establishment. This is the only way out! So many Nigerians are desperate, impoverished, hungry and susceptible to campaign money that will be shared by Tinubu during the election…. Allowing Tinubu to run next year will only guarantee his massive victory through rigging, voter suppression, voter apathy, vote buying and violence…..

Let no one say they were not told before hand. All Nigerians who truly want their freedom back and a lasting prosperity that will benefit them have two options….

Option 1 - They must begin the fight to disqualify Tinubu now through a mass court action and ensure that justice is done through his outright disqualification.

Option 2 - They must mobilize, prepare and start a massive revolution that will shut down the country totally, a revolution that will lead to a national reset, dissolution of the 1999 military constitution to give way for a referendum on Nigeria’s unity that will allow any region that wants to leave to leave the contraption. This, in my opinion is the best and surest way to genuine freedom, lasting peace and national prosperity for all Nigerians.

I will once again reiterate, those still sleeping or still naively campaigning for any of the opposition candidates, thinking that they can somehow remove this APC government through the 2027 presidential election must wake up now to reality. Tinubu’s massive victory is certain if you all play his game by doing nothing and participating in his election (selection) next year…..

You are a Tinubu APC supporter so I am not surprised over your comments here…. You speak as if you are not aware of the current situation of various independent government agencies including the judiciary that are now under Tinubu’s influence and control…..

helinues:
Why should you force someone you can't defeat on free and fair election out?

Did you even think that through at all?

That is why a revolution is inevitable.... in my opinion, Nigerians can't remove this government through an election that Tinubu controls unless he is forced out next year.....

helinues:
Without Ebola, which of the opposition can defeat president Tinubu in a free , fair and credible election? Which

No matter how you may try to twist this issue, Tinubu stands to gain politically in the event of an Ebola outbreak in Nigeria at this time because no matter how the opposition may try to criticize his handling of the issue, huge voter apathy out of fear will definitely influence the election outcome if the presidential election holds. An outright cancelation or indefinite suspension of the upcoming election over national health emergency only guarantees he holds on to power beyond January 2027.....

helinues:
Some of you have abused the word opposition by just attacking government even when it's not necessary.

This is not politics any longer but witch hunting

Can’t you see that the government you are supporting is not ready to be transparent with you even over a serious national health issue such as Ebola? Ask yourself why has the government refused to disclose the name of the lady or even the Abuja hospital which they claim she was admitted into for several days…. In a serious country, the identity of the victim and name of hospital would’ve been disclosed by now, with follow up of a total shutdown of the said hospital and quarantine of key medical personnels. I can imagine that several other people unknown to them, are trooping into the said Abuja private hospital and even meeting with health professionals who may have attended to the Ebola patient as we speak.

IMHO, most times in Nigeria, until it is too late then the truth is revealed…. Self-deceit, concealment, deception and lies have always been a big Nigerian problem that permeates all national issues down to the very foundation of Nigeria’s existence as a country….

helinues:
Imagine , na Tinubu this one still one fry blame for the recent Ebola news.

I really don't know when precisely you guys will ask meaningful questions about the government not all the jokes you have been making all this while

Latest news reports indicate that Kenya outbreak cases have risen to nine....
https://saharareporters.com/2026/10/21/ghana-tightens-airport-screening-ebola-surveillance-after-confirmed-case-nigeria

While Tinubu's government continue to conceal and downplay events, proactive neighboring countries like Ghana are already on high alert....

This Ebola news shouldn't be taken lightly by anyone.... Tinubu and his terrible APC government cannot be trusted as long as next year's election is concerned.....

I came across the disturbing thread "FG Confirms Ebola Case In FCT, Identifies 44 Contacts" featured in the home page of this website, I like so many others who are critical of Nigeria are not surprised but only worried over the timing of this.... In July 2014, an American, Patrick Sawyer who was infected with Ebola, flew from Liberia to Nigeria's most populous city of Lagos. We all can attest to the swift action that was taken by a better government under the leadership of President Jonathan to curtail the outbreak which cost so many lives in the process especially the first responders. Now in 2026, with election few months away, Nigeria under the leadership of a desperate bad president of a bad unpopular government that have demonstrated severally not to care about the plight of its citizens, how will such a bad government, handle an Ebola outbreak? It was reported that the victim was a lady who flew in to Abuja from Uganda, one will ask why was Nigerian government knowing fully well that Uganda and some other key African countries that are potential hot zones didn't suspend flights from these countries? If truly the news is true and there are already 44 potential carriers of a deadly disease, will a government this incompetent, evil and deceptive, masters of propaganda that's bent on ensuring it's victory next year, be trusted to do anything about this crisis if it will favor those in power? Why won't they weaponize, milk the Ebola fear to their political advantage?

I've consistently told Nigerians that it will be stupid of anyone to think that Tinubu will grant them a fair electoral process and atmosphere to remove him from power next year..... This Ebola case, established in Abuja will glaringly find it's way to Lagos before the political propaganda script unravels that will scare Nigerians. Will Atiku Abubakar who lives in Dubai or Peter Obi be willing to campaign if these Ebola cases continue to rise? Won't Atiku return back to Dubai and Obi escape to UK? No one will be spared from the devastating effects of an Ebola outbreak in Nigeria, no one will be spared from the political desperation of a bad unpopular government that is bent on retaining power if the opportunity to ensure nationwide voter apathy through fear presents itself... This is why I still stand by the notion that Nigerians who truly desire good governance and want an end to this APC government must unite and be ready for a revolution between now and next year...... A revolution that will not only remove the government but will put an end to the 1999 military constitution to allow for referendum that will guarantee freedom of any region to leave Nigeria or dissolve Nigeria totally....

Tinubu and this government cannot be removed through the 2027 election he controls, all independent government agencies have already been compromised.... If after consideration and all rigging options like vote buying fails, Ebola is here for Bola and his desperate bad government..... Nigerians need to rise up now and demand for an end to this government.....

Nnamdi Kanu’s main objective is not to rule anyone but to give his people a chance to be free through a peaceful referendum…. It is not him that will decide, the Igbo people will decide their future through a referendum. He has said it several times that he will abide by the decision of his people if after a referendum they choose to stay in Nigeria….

aswani:
So you are telling me Nnamdi Kanu will achieve his aim of Biafra and he will sit back and let people like Peter Obí take the reigns àbi.

You don't think he would take full political control, and like a dictator, unleash his thugs on anyone that wants to challenge him.

Very funny.

You’re so bitter that you throw insults because at times, the truth hurts…. I ask you, why then are you and many other Nigerians not migrating in mass to live in these places you mentioned…..? How come Nigerians situation are worse off now than in 1999….? You are only deceiving yourself. It is natural that certain bushy places will change overtime as a result of population growth not necessarily due to economic growth…. If you want to be sincere with yourself, look at the overall economic, political and social conditions, Nigerians were better off in 1999…..

rossipki:
SHUT UP AND STOP TALKING RUBBISH.

IN 1999 AWKA WAS A BUSH.

ASABA WAS A VILLAGE.

ONITSHA WAS A DISGRACE OF A PLACE WITH HARDLY A SINGLE PASSABLE ROAD.

UMUAHIA WAS A VILLAGE.

ABA WAS A FILTHY NO-GO AREA.

ARMED ROBBERS EVERYWHERE.

THEY WOULD STOP YOU ON THE ROAD. SEIZE YOUR CAR, SHOOT YOU AND TAKE OFF.

OR EVEN STORM YOUR HOUSE AT NIGHT AND DEMAND MONEY, AND IF YOU HAD NONE, THEY'D KPAI YOU THERE.

I PERSONALLY ESCAPED ARMED ROBBERS THRICE IN THOSE DAYS.

POWER SUPPLY USELESS.

TODAY, ALL THOSE NAMED CITIES ARE ALMOST COMPETING WITH ABUJA.

BUT NO, IN YOUR BITTER HEADS, NOTHING HAS IMPROVED IN NIGERIA.

HOPELESS.

You think it's a joke right? The outcome of the 2027 election will once again vindicate Nnamdi Kanu.... Since 1999 you started voting for politicians in national elections, what has changed for the better in Nigeria?

rossipki:
Prison guards, abeg give him more beans. He's hungry.

If you are sincere with yourself, you know what Nnamdi Kanu is saying here is the truth. Nothing will change unless Nigerians demand for an end to the 1999 constitution and a referendum that will allow any region to leave, dissolve or restructure Nigeria..... Since 1999 you started voting for politicians in national elections, what has changed for the better in Nigeria?

..... Nothing is functioning, ana ako iyo, vote for Mr. A or Mr. B things will be better. Obi is going to be the VP vote for him, when Ekwueme was there what happened? Look at yoruba people, is Osinbajo not VP? What is happening? In fact it was the time they allowed Osinbajo to be VP that they recorded the highest suicide rate in Lagos.... If we know what we are supposed to know, if we have the courage or should I say if we had the courage of our conviction by now we will say, if you don't change the constitution of Nigeria, if you don't restructure, if there is no referendum we will not vote, that is what will make them change and not voting for them! It's simple common sense but our people are so stupid they cannot reason, compel them to make the change then people will go and vote. It is not too late they can recall the senate and pass emergency bills. It's called doctrine of necessity, simple grammar, doctrine of necessity. You recall the house and you legislate, you throw that useless thing Abdulsalami put together called constitution into the dustbin and then you seat and ask the people, what type of country do you want? That's for them and not for us because we Biafrans, we are going, am only helping them, just help!

If you want a change, if people from the middle belt want the fulani slaughter to stop, if you want fulani to stop stealing your land, don't believe the lies by voting in another fulani man some how things will be better, that is rubbish, absolute bunkum......

Look at what they promised you when Obasanjo was there, he left, Yaradua came, Jonathan was there, go to Jonathan's village, is it not the same thing as it was in the beginning? What changed in the Niger Delta am asking? Was Jonathan not there for years? Tell me what changed? Being a president is not going to solve your problem. The president coming from your mother's village is not going to solve any problem. What solves the problem is the collective will of the people to demand for positive change, that’s revolution, that's the only thing they can understand...... Some of you will to go to church, your pastors will deceive you and then what will happen, you go and vote, in four years time you are talking about the same thing over again.....

The reason why Kanu does not want to take this route is simply because he doesn't want to control anyone or become a political godfather.... Also, he knows Nigeria political system is part of the problem as long as Biafra agitation is concerned.... Here is a link to his opinion on this subject below....

https://www.nairaland.com/5022368/nnamdi-kanu-why-not-support

aswani:
I still don't understand why he doesn't forms party, or do attache to one like Peter Obí does, and put a pro referendum agenda forward for the elected officials.

Surely, his party will win all elections in a landslide (or would they) and the referendum can be proposed and backed in and by the legislature in Abuja respectively as a first step to Biafran actualisation.

What is the problem with that approach?

There is a big difference between elections conducted to install public office holders and a regional referendum to leave a country. I agree political influence may easily affect electoral outcomes especially when public offices are involved but it is not that straightforward in the event of regional referendum because regional referendum most times occur based on the direct pressure of the people to leave the union so it's final outcome is predictable, making it almost impossible for politicians to rig it's outcome unlike general elections to install public office holders.......

I say the 1999 military constitution is fraudulent because it is a deceptive document, an illegitimate constitution, it was not formed by the people and does not truly represent the true position of the people because the people's consent was not sought during it's creation. It is simply a military document created to impose a forced union on the people.... Constitutions are legitimate only if they truly represent the people they govern. IMHO, representation can be grounded either in the consent or the will of the citizens or when the constitution reflects the ‘real’ identity of the members of the nation and promotes national justice..... The 1999 constitution does not qualify as a democratic constitution that's why I am posting my opinion here to raise the necessary awareness so that those with access to political power can do something about it.....

lionshare:
You should know that every election is a technical referendum. If you can concede that politicians can rig elections, then what gives you the confidence that the outcome of a referendum will be any different?

There is nothing fraudulent about the constitution. If you have a problem with any section, build a consensus and change it—there is no perfect constitution.

Nnamdi Kanu does not need validation from his people or any one to do what he believes is right… There are many Igbos who appreciate Kanu and are ready to sacrifice for the cause of freedom if he asks them…. I wonder how humiliating it will be for you when Nnamdi Kanu regain his freedom sooner than you expect….

ipobarecriminals:
Very good. I like strong head like this our Albino bros In Sokoto hotel.The same people he's fighting for are busy with their daily hustle.Some are in joborg,Thailand,Malaysia, etc solitary iron box hotel.He should stay there till Obi becomes President in 2038

Nigeria operates on a fraudulent 1999 military constitution over a forced unity that favors a few against the majority…. You can not build a progressive nation without national justice, without a solid foundation…. The people must come together and agree…. IMHO, that’s why a referendum is inevitable, a national referendum must be conducted that will allow any region to leave Nigeria, end the injustice of the 1999 military constitution to pave the way for a national reset or dissolution of Nigeria….

Justice must prevail for peace to reign and without peace there is no progress….

lionshare:
How many Nigerians came together to form Nigeria? And how many people came together to form your own tribe?

My point is that, at any point, if something were to start, certain people who have the authority will start it—not those without authority. What truly matters is not how it started, but how it is faring today and how we can make it constantly align with the most ideal interests of the majority.

I see all this constitutional change talk as a bloody waste of time when we have more pressing issues, especially at the local level, that require immediate attention. But I guess shying away from responsibility by calling for the improbable is a more efficient use of time.

That’s why a referendum on Nigeria’s unity is the best option…. Let there be a referendum that will allow any region or indigenous people to leave Nigeria, allow all regions to dissolve Nigeria or vote to restructure it…. Any attempt at restructuring like Tinubu’s attempt without seeking people’s vote, input, consent or support through a referendum is akin to a forced non-negotiable arrangement that’s no different from Gowon’s and others failed unity projects. A referendum remains the best way out towards lasting peace and progress for the people within the contraption called Nigeria….

Dalohad:
Nobody loves and wants restructuring and regionalism more than the East. The question is simple-
Are we going back to the previous regional borders drawn by ethno-linguistic homogeneity as it was in the 1950s? If yes then do it today not tommorow.

However, there are many elements of confusion within the Yoruba-West who appear more intent on tearing down the East than having a homogenous and autonomous Yoruba/West region. They are doing exactly what you accused Balewa of doing in the Western region.

The other day, they proposed that their kiths and kins in Kogi and Kwara join the larger Western region, but Southern Imo, and other Igbo-speaking areas in the former Bight of Biafra and other areas be sequestered, isolated and cut off from from the larger Igbo/Eastern region.

These are the fundamental concerns.

They appear to be more interested in holding the East down to suffer than to push for their own regional autonomy.

A wise Igbo adage says, 'Onye ji mmadu na-ala, ji onwe ya'- 'He who holds a man to the ground, is also on the ground, his victim does not move, he also does not move'.

The East will not support any farcical push for regionalism that aims to cut out any ethno-linguistic Igbo-speaking group from their kiths and kins, while others take the opportunity to unite their isolated brothers in Kwara and Kogi to the larger nation of Oduduwa.

What is good for the Goose, is good for the Gander.

If we must eat a toad, we must all eat the biggest one, such that when people call us toad-eaters, we nod and beat our chests in affirmation.

No hanky-pankys, no wuru-wuru to the answer.

We must be honest with ourselves.

I have spent eight years of my life in detention in pursuit of the only goal that matters to me, and indeed to all of us: a peaceful homeland called Biafra.....

You think Nnamdi Kanu is alone? Once again I will reiterate that you will be disappointed.....

HacheNoire:
But he will fold before the freedom comes?

You will be disappointed because it is glaring that he will regain his freedom sooner than you think....

HacheNoire:
Why I said it’s a good stance.

I just will only acknowledge that statement after two and a half decades.

Your comparison is preposterous.... Nnamdi Kanu is not Nelson Mandela, he is not a coward.... He has said it severally that there is nothing anyone can do to stop Biafra when the time comes as it is not his call to make. The only reason why Nnamdi Kanu is still prison today is simply because Nigeria is a lawless country....

HacheNoire:
Very good stance!

Nelson Mandela said same in the early years of his jail term.

After 27 years, same Nelson Mandela said,

“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.”
