Nnamdi Kanu remains the most powerful voice of freedom in Nigeria.... There is a reason why he is called "Onyendu" let no one be deceived over the media propaganda against the cause to liberate his people from the British bondage called Nigeria..... Nnamdi Kanu will regain his freedom and all those who cheered his unjust incaseration will be disgraced.... They will all bury their heads in shame.

A referendum that will restore freedom to not just the igbos but other regions and indigenous people within the contraption is inevitable.....

The imprisoned leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has rejected political negotiations that do not lead to a referendum on Biafran independence, insisting that he will not compromise on his demand for the sovereignty of the proposed Biafran state.

He maintained that the people of the region should be allowed to determine their political future through a referendum.

“Referendum, or the unilateral pursuit of Biafran sovereignty. There is no middle ground,” he declared.

Kanu said he was unwilling to negotiate what he described as the existence of his people, insisting that his only acceptable subject of discussion was the right of Biafrans to decide whether they wanted to live under an independent state.

“I will not negotiate the existence of my people. I will not bargain our homeland into a committee. I will discuss referendum and nothing else,” he said.

He added that those interested in discussions about political appointments, restructuring or conferences could pursue such conversations without him

“Those who want a conversation about appointments, about ‘restructuring,’ about another conference that ends in a communiqué and a banquet, may hold that conversation without me,” Kanu stated.

“My subject is one subject: the right of Biafrans to say, in a free vote, whether they will live as a people under their own roof.”

The IPOB leader said he had spent years in detention pursuing what he described as the goal of establishing a peaceful Biafran homeland.

“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,” he said.

He added that his objective was not revenge or disorder but the establishment of a country governed by its own laws.

“Not a slogan. A country. Not revenge. Safety. Not chaos. Order under our own law,” he stated.

Kanu also recounted previous encounters with Nigerian authorities, saying he was first arrested in 2005 at Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos and arrested again in Lagos in 2015.

He subsequently accused the Nigerian government of kidnapping him in Kenya and describing the operation as an arrest.

“Then they kidnapped me in Kenya and called the crime an arrest,” he said.

Kanu has repeatedly challenged the circumstances surrounding his rendition from Kenya to Nigeria, which has remained a contentious issue in his legal proceedings.

In the latest address, he also criticised the judicial process that resulted in his conviction, alleging that it was based on repealed statutes and the reversal of an earlier acquittal.

He described the outcome as “power pretending to be a court” and insisted that his imprisonment had not weakened his determination to pursue Biafran independence.

“The file is open. I am fixated on one goal: total freedom for Biafra,” he said.

"No negotiations that trade the destination for a seat at someone else's table. Referendum. That is the conversation. That is the settlement. That is the peace.”

The detained IPOB leader also appealed to AVID and other diaspora organisations to sustain their campaign for his release and that of other people he described as Biafrans detained unjustly.

He praised AVID for supporting him during his detention and commended the organisation's president, Dr Sylvester Onyia, for attending court proceedings and making efforts to secure his release.

Kanu said the organisation had also written to British officials, including the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary and the United Kingdom High Commission in Nigeria, over his case.

He urged the veterans to continue their advocacy, saying their support remained important to his campaign.

Addressing the convention under the theme Maka Odi Nma Ndi Igbo, meaning “For the Good and Benefit of the Igbo People”, Kanu invoked the history of Igbo Landing in Georgia, where enslaved Igbo people resisted their enslavement in 1803.

He urged the attendees to draw inspiration from the history of resistance and apply the principle of self-determination to the Igbo homeland.

“Veterans: you swore an oath to a republic that claims self-determination as a founding creed. Do not be timid about applying that creed to the land that made you,” he said.

Kanu concluded his address by reiterating that he would not accept any political arrangement that excluded the question of Biafran independence.

"I am not available for any bargain that leaves Biafra unnamed,” he declared.

“I am available for a referendum. I am available for the work of a free people."

Those fully indoctrinated in to the "One Nigeria" deception will always parrot the official narrative of their oppressors like some of the posters above..... Any unity arrangement that is non-negotiable is nothing but a glorified abusive prison for all parties involved.....

Sheuns:
Too many divided ideologies is why it’s very difficult or impossible for Nigeria to grow beyond petty differences such as religion, ethnicity and all.

If we so much love our ethnic groups, isn’t it best we divide ourselves along that line and forge ahead?

You can’t say some people are born to rule, others will never rule and you call yourselves a country saying “our unity is non negotiable”.

Unity and peace can and must be negotiated either peacefully or non peacefully. There’s no where in the world where peace and unity reign that there weren’t some sort of negotiations.

It’s either we decide to set aside our differences and function as a country where everyone no matter how large or small your ethnic group is have equal stakes or let everyone go their ways along ethnic lines and find their bearings.

You can’t keep doing one thing in the same way and expect a different result, it’s called foolhardiness.

Your capitalized vituperation won’t erase the injustice and atrocities that Nigeria inflicted on Igbos over the genocidal killings during the civil war…. It won’t erase the marginalization and hate they continue to endure till this day especially from your tribe because it is glaring you are from the south west….. If you are truly sure that igbos can leave and declare their own country at will, why has your lawless government refused to obey the country’s laws over the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu? Whose main crime was to demand for a referendum for his people….

For your information, Igbos doing business and thriving in any part of Nigeria won’t stop even if Biafra comes into existence…. Are Yorubas or any other ethnic group not doing business and thriving in other countries especially your people in the UK even when they are Nigerians? It is not by any special privilege as you may presume Igbos enjoy in Nigeria that they are successful but through hard work against all odds…. Igbos will continue to be successful in business even if they leave Nigeria and get their own country as result of a referendum….. Your insult filled outburst has only exposed you for who you are….

Kemetian:
WILL YOU SHUT UP THERE AND STOP DISTURBING PEOPLE?

OVER 20 MILLION OF YOUR SOUTH EAST PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN THE NORTH AS WE SPEAK.

MAYBE SAME NUMBER IN THE WEST.

SO SHUT UP AND VOTE WITH YOUR FEET.

LEAVE THOSE PLACES AND RETURN HOME AND DECLARE YOUR NEW COUNTRY, WITHOUT TRYING TO STEAL THE NIGER DELTA LIKE YOUR GREEDY DICTATOR OJUKWU TRIED IN 1967, WHICH LED TO THE WAR.

IF YOU LEAVE AND DECLARE YOUR SOUTH EAST YOUR NEW COUNTRY, WE WILL EVEN DO SEND-OFF PARTY FOR YOU BECAUSE GOD KNOWS WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU.

RUBBISH!!

You call them idealists I call them realists…. How many Nigerians came together to form the 1999 constitution? Did the military government that handed it over, seek the people’s consent and input? The issue here is not about elites but justice, let the people decide if they want to be together or not through a peaceful referendum. Nigeria’s forced cosmetic unity will never bring about true progress for a people who do not share common values or want to be together….. Let the rights of those calling for a referendum to leave be respected. Nigeria will continue on a retrogressive path unless the 1999 constitution is dissolved and a referendum that will restore freedom to all indigenous people is achieved.

lionshare:
I’ve always found the school of thought that Nigeria needs to be divided for progress to happen really idealistic. A lot of the people who believe this can’t see beyond their nose. The divided units would still be run by the same Nigerians who already run their LGAs and states, largely with little to no progress. So how do these idealists think the same Nigerians will magically become super effective once the country is divided?

Every society will always have elites. You could balkanize Nigeria into 100 units, and each one would still have a tiny minority controlling the majority—often in their own selfish interests. These are the same idealists who keep parroting “death to the 1999 Constitution,” as if any new constitution wouldn’t come with its own flaws.

Okay I misconstrued your previous comment.... Good to know that you are not a fan of one Nigeria....

lawani:
No I am not in support of one Nigeria. Why do you think I am in support of one Nigeria?

Why must NCC be saddled with such responsibility? A phone is a private property and should be at the discretion of the owner to decide what to use it for, network to connect to and also take responsibility regarding safety of the phone. Government shouldn't be the one to protect or decide for an adult the kind of phone or communication device he or she must use..... This is a useless policy that only aims to further erode telecom users freedom, reduce choice and promote mass surveillance..... Where does NCC draw line if it can disable a user's network access just because such a user's private property has not been approved by government..... Nigerians are gradually been led into an autocratic digital surveillance system without their consent under Tinubu's bad government.....

Afonja2:
Let me assist you.

This is not Tinubu's policy. It is a policy that has been in existence since 2003, only that it has not been fully enforced.

Read about the policy below:

NCC Type Approval is the mandatory certification process required by the Nigerian Communications Commissio[/b]n (NCC) before any telecommunications or radio communications equipment can be legally imported, sold, or used in Nigeria.


Legal Basis
It is governed by:

- Nigerian Communications Act 2003 (especially Section 132)
- Nigerian Communications (Type Approval) Regulations, 2024
- Type Approval Business Rules, 2024
Related Guidelines

What Requires Type Approval?
Almost all devices with communication capabilities, including:

-Mobile phones / smartphones
Tablets and other SIM-enabled devices
-Wi-Fi routers, modems, and access points
-Bluetooth devices
-IoT / smart devices (including those in vehicles, appliances, etc.)
-Network equipment (base stations, switches, microwave links, etc.)
Short-range devices and RF modules

What is the need for it?

NCC Type Approval is needed to protect consumers, networks, and the overall telecom ecosystem in Nigeria.

Here’s why it exists and why it is mandatory:

1. Consumer Safety & Health
Ensures devices do not emit harmful levels of electromagnetic radiation (SAR limits).
Confirms the equipment is safe to use and does not pose fire, electrical, or other physical hazards.

2. Network Integrity & Quality of Service
Prevents substandard or poorly designed devices from interfering with mobile networks, Wi-Fi, or other radio systems.
Reduces network congestion, dropped calls, and degraded internet performance caused by non-compliant gadgets.

3. Spectrum Management
Makes sure devices operate only on approved frequencies and power levels.
Protects the limited radio spectrum from interference.

4. Interoperability
Guarantees that phones, routers, and other equipment work properly with Nigerian networks and other approved devices.

5. Combating Counterfeits & Grey Imports
Stops the influx of fake, refurbished, or substandard devices that flood the market.
Helps authorities track and block non-compliant SIM-enabled devices through systems like the Central Equipment Identity Register (CEIR).

6. Legal & Regulatory Compliance
Required by the Nigerian Communications Act 2003.
Without Type Approval, equipment cannot be legally imported, sold, or connected to public networks in Nigeria.

7. Consumer Protection
Gives buyers confidence that a device has been tested and meets Nigerian standards.

Provides a clear way for the public to verify whether a phone or gadget is approved (via the NCC website).
In short, Type Approval exists so that only safe, reliable, and network-friendly telecommunications equipment enters and operates in Nigeria — protecting users, operators, and the quality of communication services.

The video presenter asked a question which I reiterated and hope you will answer sincerely since you appear to support one Nigeria..... What are you benefiting from one Nigeria?

lawani:
For as long as you keep referring to natural resources as what will save you then you have not started
Also a kid can easily be fluent in four languages. Many people in Nigeria speak at least four. A Nupe for instance may speak Nupe, Yoruba, Hausa, English and one other. No bg deal

Then Hausa are not more than the Yoruba in population. Their biggest city is around the same population as Ibadan and Lagos is more than three times of Kano. Also Sokoto, Katsina, Birnin Kebbi, Kaduna, Zaria etc are not up to Ilorin, Abeokuta, Akure, Osogbo, Ife, Ilesa, Ado ekiti, Ogbomoso. etc in any thing. If they have villages the Yoruba also have. So how can Hausa be up to Yoruba in population? They are not up to

If you are proud to be in a non-negotiable unity arrangement then it is safe to say that you are a proud prisoner in an abusive relationship..... Clap for yourself

"Our diversity is our strength".... If it was true then why are millions of Nigerians suffering and killed daily by fulani terrorists over same diversity....? What kind of strength is that? I guess you are part of the few enjoying the loot of Tinubu's government....

HacheNoire:
Our unity is non-negotiable!

Our diversity is our strength.

......Whenever you talk about one Nigeria, who are the people that are benefiting from it? A very few elites who are the stakeholders of the British business that has been invented. So, why is it possible for new countries to be formed in Europe? If you go to Europe from the year 2000 to 2026 as we speak, almost 30 countries have been formed. New countries without agitation, without war, without fight. So, why is it easy for new countries to be formed in other places around the world? Kosovo, Serbia, Slovakia, Montenegro, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, different countries. New countries have been formed peacefully. But if it comes down to our own place here to form a new country is a big deal. Why? Mind you, mind you, if you go to Europe, you will realize that Lagos is bigger than countries like Greece, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, different countries, different countries of Europe, Lagos alone. And I bet you that all the states in Nigeria, including the smallest state Ebonyi State and Bayelsa and wherever, Nasarawa State, are far bigger than many countries of the world. So, I ask you, why is it a crime? Why is it a sin to talk about a new country in Nigeria, in Africa without conflict?

Why can't we divide without fighting, without conflict? And who is behind this conflict that we experience whenever we talk about division? Nigeria is a blessed country. And virtually every region, every part of this country have abundance of mineral resources that they can rely upon. So, if you are talking about the division of Nigeria, we are not even supposed to be talking about dividing into two or three or four. And the most idiotic thing that has happened in Nigeria is to talk about the three major ethnic group. There is no need for us to talk about any ethnic group as being the major ethnic group. Because if you have a three major ethnic group, where Hausa is the biggest, Yoruba and Igbo, then how will you now talk about the other ethnic groups? So, Igbo is comfortable that they are number three, Yoruba is comfortable that they are number two, Hausa is comfortable that they are number one. How about the people that are number 20, number 30, number 40?

We are not supposed to have the same country by nature. Because if you talk about agriculture for instance, while the southern part of Nigeria is planning their farming system in such a manner that excessive rainfall should be controlled in their farm, the northern part of Nigeria is planning their agricultural system in such a manner that excessive drought should be controlled through irrigation. So, if you are making your ridges in the north to conserve water around your plant root in the north, somebody in the south is making their ridges in such a manner that will overflow excess water from the plant root. But yet, we are studying the same curriculum. We are studying the same agriculture. We are using the same textbooks, but the environmental dispensation of these two regions are completely different and the cultural practices that could work in the northern part of Nigeria cannot work in the southern part of Nigeria. If you go to the north, a typical northern child will have to learn Arabic language through the Quran, learn Hausa language, and learn English language, just one child. Just one child learning three languages. Tell me why they won't become an elementary or idiots. Tell me how they can be able to function effectively when a child is being bogged with three different complex languages with complex lexicons being comprehended by one single child. Nobody thinks about the impact of such confusion. You are putting a little child. They must study Arabic to learn the Quran. They read from the left to the right to know the Quran, then they read from the right to the left to know chemistry and mathematics. Tell me how it can work?

And if you look at the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the lawmakers, take a look at the complexity of grammar they are speaking there. Take a look at the English they are speaking on the floor of our Senate. For a country where over 70% of the citizens are illiterates, so if you are making laws for your citizens and you are making such laws in language they don't understand, how can somebody obey a law they don't understand, a law they cannot interpret? And you are talking about one Nigeria. Nigeria is due for segregation. It's due for division. Anybody that tells you anything otherwise is just fooling you. And there is abundance of mineral resources in every region of this country to sustain itself. I won't lie to you. There is no revolution that can change the status of this country. There is no protest, there is no whether peaceful or violent that can turn Nigeria into a good country. The only way Nigeria can get better is to divide peacefully. Let us have a national confab, sit on a round table, know how many countries Nigeria can be divided to peacefully considering the ethnic and social cultural diversities of these people and know how we can segregate them into peaceful nation. Even if it takes one local government to become a country of their own, let us have it. And if we can have international relationship like the European Union or any union we want to call it at the central level where one passport of one of the segregated country can be functional in all other part of the countries, let us have it. But as I speak with you, there is nothing that can solve the problem of this country except division. Peaceful division from a round table and let each region go back to their home, secure their people, secure their mineral resources, mine it, exploit it in the best interest of that their people because the people that amalgamated Nigeria does not consider the difficulties and diversity of this country and how it will affect our existence. I bet you, nobody can Even if you merge Atiku, Obi, Tinubu, Amaechi and all of them together, they cannot solve the problem of this country. Merge them into one president, they cannot solve the problem of this country. Because one region is our turn, the other region is our turn. Nobody check the credibility. Nobody check Oh, they're appointing only Yoruba, they're appointing only Hausa. But there won't be such if it is only Yoruba that are having their own state. So, I bet you, it is important for us to sit on a round table and question ourselves again. Who are the benefactors of one Nigeria? Is it the British that amalgamated us without considering the ethnic diversity, the religious and socio-cultural diversity, or is it the present leaders, the elites, or the citizens of this country? What is the benefit of one Nigeria to a common citizen of Nigeria? That is a low average life citizen of Nigeria. What is the benefit? What does a person benefit from holding a Nigerian passport? What does a person benefit from being a Nigerian citizen? Tell me just one thing that somebody benefit from this country, Nigeria. And if there is nothing, then it should cease to exist.....

Good question, who are those benefiting from one Nigeria? Are you benefiting and what do you benefit from the contraption called Nigeria?

I came across a disturbing thread titled "NCC Might Block Your Phone In 30 Days" in which a specific code was shared by a user noting that any phone not verified will be blocked. Below is what was posted by the OP....

LeoThaGreat:
Dial *315# to see if your device is approved for use in Nigeria by NCC or if it will blocked by NCC in 30 Days

Nigerian Communications Commission sent a broadcast earlier today about this.

If your device is approved, you'll get the feedback in the pop-up in the attached image

Another unnecessary policy.... How low will the APC government go to erode people's freedom over irrelevant regulations? First it was NIN next it was mandatory sim registration, now it is the phone. I had warned Nigerians that none of this forced surveillance policies would end insecurity back then when it was introduced and I was right. It is not surprising that Tinubu's government through the NCC now want to take away the right of Nigerians to use any phone they want. If Nigerians do not resist this new policy, it is only a matter of time, the next policy from NCC may be even worse than this... I won't be surprised if the government enact new laws to deny a section of population direct access to own a phone....

It is glaring that these policies were not entirely aimed at fighting insecurity as it was geared towards mass surveillance, stifling political opposition and consolidating political power.... Nigerians have the right to question and demand clarity on government policies that will affect them directly.... When will Nigerians begin to question these intrusive government overreaching policies?

Maybe another rigged national election and additional years of bad governance will be needed before majority of Nigerians can finally figure out the fact that current centralized governing system and military constitution won’t benefit them…..

lamentor78:
...I always laugh when I see post like this, it shows Nigerians lack sense to see that regime after regime the former is always better than the latter.

If you like call Trump and Xi together to rule after Tinubu , within months you will feel like Tinubu regime is better.

Nigeria is not supposed to practice Unitary government, the democracy we adopted is not working for us.

Come to think of those that said they will bring back subsidy, what happens to the exchange rate and how long can they subsidized petrol, they will do 8 years and carry the burden on the next administration.

A beg Nigeria state is designed not to work with this type of democracy and crippled constitution.

Tinubu can’t give what he doesn’t have…. As long as Tinubu is allowed to organize the election and participate in same election, it won’t be fair except he is disqualified…. Nigeria is overdue for a national referendum that will either reset or dissolve it….

LagosOrigin:
I think it's good that tinubu forced himself on Nigerians in 2023. And now that Nigerians have seen how much of a monumental failure he turned out to be , Nigerians will vote wisely and protect there votes in 2027 so that another round of affliction won't arises a second time.

@AMINDA, I believe you already know that many of those you call representatives are only representing themselves and are part of the oppressive regime holding the people captive. There is no need to pretend that you still have a real democratic country when in reality you don’t…. There is no way a referendum can happen without a mass national revolutionary movement by the people pushing for it…. I’ve posted my message here, it is left for Nigerians to either accept or reject this message…. 2027 presidential election is not far and everything I’ve said here will be laid bare for all Nigerians to once again see and hopefully learn from it next year.... Regarding what you said about South East, when referendum happens, the people will choose the right governing system that will work for their region on their own terms…..

AMINDA:
Are you happy with the way your leaders in the Southeast, past and present have governed the region? That is a semblance of how the Southeast will be governed post-referandum, if not worse. Is it Tinubu that sent Nnamdi Kanu to prison that will now grant you referendum? Tell your representatives in the National Assembly to move a motion for referendum or involve yourself in the political space until you attain power amd are in a position to grant yourselves referendum. Referendums are not served on a plate.

I will keep this post short and straight to the point, unless Nigerians want to remain captive under a retrogressive system that only guarantees the continued success of their oppressors and their foreign allies, the only way out that will ensue total freedom and prosperity for all indigenous people in the contraption is a national push for a referendum on Nigeria’s unity that will end the 1999 military constitution, allow any region to exercise their right to self-determination, totally dissolve or totally decentralize the country if it must continue to exist….. Any other narrative been pushed by desperate politicians like Atiku Abubakar or Peter Obi (False messiahs whose main goal is to fulfill lifelong dream of becoming president) that 2027 presidential election will some how turn around the terrible hopeless situation that Nigerians are facing, in my opinion is a lie, a ploy to deceive the masses to continue with the same retrogressive oppressive unjust system that won’t benefit them, the same faulty system that brought them to the current situation they are facing.

Those who still think that the 2027 presidential election result will some how favor Nigerians are invariably still naive and asleep to their reality. It is glaring that the majority of Nigerians have not yet learnt their lessons since 1999 of doing the same thing and expecting a different result as they prepare to make the same mistake by playing the political rigged games of their oppressors once again…. Except a revolution happens to force out this government, there is nothing anyone can do individually to stop the continued deception, rape and looting of the nation by these political vultures in government. Next year’s presidential election result that will give Tinubu a second term, has already been fine tuned and prepared by the ruling party. Nigerians need to understand that this colonial country called Nigeria which means nothing indigenous to them must be dissolved or renegotiated for them to be free to prosper as a people…. The pretense and lies over it’s cosmetic retrogressive toxic unity must end for the truth about its futility and hopelessness to prevail else the suffering, subjugation and oppression of the masses will continue. 2027 should be a year of freedom, a year of national sovereignty conference on Nigeria’s unity and not a year to install another desperate political pretender as president to continue the vicious cycle of national injustice, frustration and oppression…..

A referendum to end or decentralize the contraption is inevitable, the only thing delaying this eventual outcome is ignorance of the masses, the selfishness of political leaders and willful self induced deception of many who know the truth but choose to lie to themselves..... The disastrous retrogressive unity of Nigeria is unsustainable, as the situation gets worse, especially with the outcome of next years rigged election, the time will come when the truth about Nigeria's hopeless state can no longer be hidden or wished away by the masses....

gidgiddy:
I didn't bother to watch Tinubu's national address , October 1st 2026. There was nothing he was coming to say there that previous Nigerian Presidents have not said before, as the country gets worse with every passing year.

Since 1966, its been coups and counter- coups, civil war, millions dead, more military coups, long periods of military dictatorship, massive corruption, abuse of power, human rights violations, political banditry, the list is endless

The cumulative effect of all this is that Nigeria has become world poverty capital, 4th most terrorised country on earth and one of the most corrupt.

So what is there to celebrate about 66 years of Nigerian unity?

Singapore is just 6 million people and half the land size of the smallest State in Nigeria, Lagos. But Singapore has a bigger GDP than Nigeria as well as the strongest passport on earth. With a Singapore passport, you can travel to almost every country on earth, Visa free!

I remember what the late Ojukwu said on numerous videos when he was alive. He said that Nigerians think 1st October 1966 was the date Nigeria became an independent nation. But that actually, that date was the day Nigeria began a journey to know if it could become an independent nation. The independence is nothing to write home about, and we are from being a nation.

The unity of Nigeria has been a disaster and Nigerians should admit that its time to cut our losses, hold a referendum, and disintegrate peacefully. We cant keep upholding an unworkable British colonial creation just for the sake of it.

There is no doubt that these terrorists are been supported by the compromised government.... It is glaring now that the south east is no longer safe. The situation may get worse as election draws near if nothing is done to stop them...

historic:
Yeah I think you are kinda right in saying the fulanis have taken over the forest of the SE especially in Imo state cos two weeks ago or thereabout a man and his wife went some agents to check out land they wanted to purchase at Irete and were suddenly ambushed by some Fulani herdsmen with Ak47s.

I think the story says that one or two of the agents had gun(s) with them (as there have been siting of those herdsmen in the bushes in that area) but were gunned down by the superior firepower of the herdsmen. The man and his wife were also killed in the shootout.

I will repeat, no igbo should trust this government over curtailing these fulani terrorists activities.... It is glaring that the government has already been compromised..... IMHO, a new violent terrorist campaign has been activated for the south east region.

Nigerians should be talking about referendum to end the 1999 military fraudulent constitution.... Since many are yet to come to this realization, I guess we may have to wait a little longer. In due time, many will finally understand how hopeless it is to support the contraption.....

cyril10:
Ethnic and religious bias has been the bane of this contraption called Nigeria; it will be difficult for the country to grow, the educated ones are behaving like illiterates all because he/she is my brother or sister.

I came across this strange thread "NYSC Members Kidnapped On Owerri-Onitsha Road As Gunmen Attack Buses" featured in the home page of this website..... I call this news strange because such terrorists mass kidnapping activities don't happen in the south east.... hmmmm so reading the news got me thinking....

For the past few years since Tinubu became president, there have been a surge in military offensive campaigns to destroy ESN, after reading the featured thread, this attack may not be an isolated incident but the beginning of a new violent politically orchestrated campaign in south east by fulani terrorists..... who glaringly have taken over south east forests after the compromised government cleared the path for them through it's successful offensive campaign towards destroying and weakening ESN setup by IPOB under Nnamdi Kanu with the sole aim of protecting South East forests...... Now it seem terrorism has finally taken a foothold in the south east....

Let the igbos read the hand writing on the wall..... This terrorist attack in Imo state shouldn't be taken lightly or at face value.... Nnamdi Kanu may be in jail, IPOB and ESN may have been destroyed but the igbos must never allow what they fought for to be in vain.... There is urgent need to do something about curtailing these terrorists now in the south east before it gets worse. If the igbos foolishly fold their arms and do nothing, hoping on their compromised governors to protect them, then it only means that these terrorist attacks will continue and may get worse especially as next year's election draws closer....

Nnamdi Kanu foresaw all that's happening now and did his part by revealing this years ago. He was jailed for trying to stop this from happening in the south east and now that it's finally here, let the igbos especially the youths rise up to defend their land and their people by flushing out these terrorists.... Let no one be deceived, the south east has always been the ultimate target of the terrorists, this struggle for liberation can not die with Nnamdi Kanu's imprisonment or ESN's destruction because as long as Nigeria exists, eternal vigilance remains inevitable if the igbos do not want their region to be conquered.....

Igbos need to unite in the push for Nnamdi Kanu's unconditional release and the call for a peaceful referendum to exercise their right to self-determination.....

Can you point out a section in the post where your tribe is mentioned?

FSBoperator:
These clowns are now blaming Yorubas .

It's no longer Hausa-Fulani but Yorubas are the enemy now.

Dividing the country may be the best option but Nigerians especially indigenous people need a peaceful regional or national referendum so that whatever may be the outcome whether an outright devolution or dissolution will be done in their own terms.....

Samuels90:
Just divide the country, make everybody go their way. There is no unity among the citizens, due to tribe, religion et al.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjTRkNmMXqk

Are Nigerians parasites?

When will majority of Nigerians wake up to their hopeless reality and do something about it.....? I've continued to admonish those who care to listen that 2027 election is a hopeless exercise..... What Nigerians urgently need now is to kickstart a nationwide revolutionary movement towards a referendum that will end the 1999 military constitution, dissolve or totally decentralize the country if it must continue to exist..... It is glaring to anyone sensible enough to look beyond the noise that the true enemy of Nigerians is the British colonial prison called Nigeria..... if you are a Nigerian, still on the fence or still naive, hopefully this video will wake you up to how the world sees the contraption...... IMHO, Nigeria means nothing indigenous to the people but a symbol of colonial conquest and subjugation.....

If you detest thieves, why then do you continue to support Tinubu another criminal character? Your hypocrisy is appalling.....

helinues:
The bottom line is Obi is a thief

The worldwide family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), under the supreme leadership of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, issues this statement to address the tragic degeneration of the Nigerian judicial system from an era of principled political alliances and cross-regional solidarity to a tool of raw executive coercion.

History remembers that during the First Republic, visionary southern leaders demonstrated genuine political fraternity. Dr. Michael Okpara, Premier of the Eastern Region, extended unflinching support to Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his family during their darkest political trials, standing on principles of justice and shared democratic struggles. Today, that historic "Handshake Across the Niger" has been shattered by elements within the political and judicial elite who have chosen executive compliance and ethnic prejudice over the rule of law.

What transpired on 20 November 2025 in the courtroom of Justice James Omotosho was not merely a judicial error; it was an act of raw judicial banditry and a deliberate desecration of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

1. The Death of the Rule of Law: Section 36(12) Defied

Justice Omotosho himself declared in open court on 4 November 2025: “No written law, no conviction.” Yet, sixteen days later, he proceeded to convict Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu under dead, repealed legislation—the Terrorism (Prevention) Act 2011/2013 and the Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA). Section 36(12) of the Constitution commands in clear, unambiguous language:

“A person shall not be convicted of a criminal offence unless that offence is defined and the penalty therefor is prescribed in a written law.”

A repealed statute is a dead law. It carries no legal force, creates no offences, and prescribes no valid penalties. By refusing to perform the mandatory statutory transition into the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022 as commanded by Sections 97 and 98(2), Justice Omotosho manufactured a conviction out of thin air. A savings clause is an administrative bridge; it is not an offence-creating enactment.

2. Institutional Decay and Executive Subversion

This perversity reveals a deeper institutional sickness. The current Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi SAN, and Justice James Omotosho have weaponized the federal judiciary to execute an executive agenda. Where General Sani Abacha used military tribunals, this administration uses federal judges to turn the Constitution into a worthless piece of paper.

This total collapse of judicial integrity is why millions of citizens across Nigeria have completely lost faith in the legal system. When a court can cite Supreme Court authorities declaring proceedings under repealed laws a nullity (State v. Egigia, IGP v. Ogundimu) and then ignore those very precedents to secure a politically dictated verdict, the court ceases to be a temple of justice—it becomes an instrument of state tyranny.

3. The Test Before the Appellate Courts and the NJC

IPOB remains mindful of courageous jurists who refused to bow to executive intimidation—such as Justice Oladotun Adefope-Okojie and her panel at the Court of Appeal, who delivered the historic 13 October 2022 judgment discharging Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. That landmark decision stands as an unshakeable monument to judicial bravery, which no lower court has the constitutional authority to override.

The ultimate test now rests squarely before the Court of Appeal and the National Judicial Council (NJC):

To the Appellate Court: The appeal must be listed and heard without further executive delay. The court must confront the fundamental constitutional question: What living written law defined the offence on 20 November 2025? Where no such law exists, the conviction must be quashed.

To the NJC: The Council must examine the conduct of a judge who publicly stated the constitutional rule, acknowledged the repeal of the statutes, and yet knowingly entered a conviction under dead laws.

The burden is on the gavel, not the prisoner. You cannot build a lawful conviction on a dead statute, nor can you substitute judicial expediency for constitutional supremacy.

SHOW US THE LAW OR RELEASE MAZI NNAMDI KANU.

What Nnamdi Kanu is pointing out here goes beyond Peter Obi.... It is a direct message to all igbo leaders feeding fat over the injustice done to their people by Nigeria....

Chachalogo:
Headless mob are very confused right now. If they attack Nnayi, they will be very ashamed of themselves. And if they support his claim, they will be very very ashamed of themselves.

"Obi is a thief" - Nnamdi Kanu.

And Tinubu you are supporting is a saint and not a thief?

yarimo:
Hian so even nnamdi kanu is aware peter obi is a thief ?

While reading and observing recent news, threads on heated feud between Peter Obi igbo presidential candidacy, Governor Soludo's Anambra debt allegations, Umahi's plot and other desperate selfish south east political leaders over 2027 election, It always reminds me of the prophetic declaration that Nmamdi Kanu made years ago on the futility of any igbo presidential ambition as long as Nigeria is concerned.... Watching all he said play out again with the recent feud between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi is amusing but only reinforces the notion that none of these south east leaders who overtime became willing slaves to the real owners of "One Nigeria" (The Fulani political elites and their foreign collaborators) including Peter Obi does not have the genuine interest of their people at heart. Peter Obi who is glaringly desperate to rule the contraption will be cheated out again in 2027 election.... Nnamdi Kanu's prophetic message may once again come to pass next year and beyond until the truth about Nigeria's national systemic injustice and it's hopeless unworkable union prevails....

I leave you with this video of Kanu's message regarding igbo presidency in Nigeria below.

......When Ekweme came out to contest in 1999 Igbo presidency, what did you do in Jos Orji Uzo Kalu? You betrayed Ekweme. You voted for Obasanjo. Jos PDP convention in 1999. So that time Igbo presidency wasn't good, wasn't good enough. It's now that you want it yes? And now let us go to Dave Umahi. Your own brother Peter Obi who contested with Atiku. Under your own political party, you were in PDP but you delivered Ebonyi state to APC against your own brother. Now you want to contest because you felt that should Peter Obi go and succeed and become VP to Atiku after 8 years or there about or after 4 years Peter Obi will naturally succeed and become the president of the zoo thereby spoiling your own chances. What did you do? What did you do? I ask. You campaigned against your own brother, against your own fellow Igbo brother. Now you're talking about Igbo presidency. I just want to prove to the world that these people are just criminals, a gang of thieves all of them!.....

I do not understand how you can criticize Peter Obi, saying all you've posted here and still support someone worse than him to win the next election.... This only shows your hypocrisy......

yarimo:
Obi is a fraudster, you borrow money and you didn't spend it. since I didn't spend it according to package 419 obi I won't pay the owner back his money. Wonderful scammer

I am glad you finally found the truth that Nigeria currently is a hopeless cause..... Nigeria in its current form exists for exploitation and nothing more....... Only the masses can liberate themselves from Nigeria by demanding for a referendum that will free them from the 1999 military constitution to dissolve Nigeria or totally decentralize Nigeria if it must continue to exist.....

savcy:
Your submission is one of the reasons why I don't bother voting in general elections. I love my country, but truth is, Nigeria will never, ever develop with the current political structure we have. Even if we elect a 'better' President tomorrow, the next one could pretty much destroy everything the past one did by a mere pronouncement the next month. See what's happening at the state level. Good governor today, and tomorrow another one pulls down or simply abandons developmental structures and policies by the immediate past due to silly political expediency.

It was Buhari's second year in office that opened my eyes to the actual problems of this country. I thought to myself, "how is it, that two Presidents (Jonathan - Buhari) of different disposition, different religious beliefs, different ethnic extraction and political parties lead the country in similar, almost identical, ways?" I pondered about it and eventually reached the 'skeleton' of the country. Suddenly, I realised that the country is sick at its core. Nigeria was designed as a colonial substitute. The spirit of the Nigerian Constitution perpetuates colonialism under a semantic facade of federalism.

The Nigerian constitution designates the country as a Federation, yet, it tells her to serve a Lord at the center. It tells states to do whatever they want, yet, it empowers Abuja to nationalize any resource that exists at scale. On top of that, it tells the states to gather in Abuja every month to pick up a paycheck whether or not they contributed anything to the economy. This entire setup is anti-development. It's rotten and it stinks.

No state in Nigeria will ever achieve second-tier development status. Look around you and assess our cities. Billions spent, yet, our cities resemble war terrains. The entire structure was never set up to develop us. If we're ever serious about placing Nigeria on the map, the first question we would ask is the constitution question.

Instead of attacking the governor I think you should be urging Peter Obi who started it all to provide impeccable evidence to silence his critics.....
