Peter Obi should bury his head in shame.....

ebukal67x:
Obi don talk say Kanu no be him brother again

I just read the news titled "Terrorism: Peter Obi Reacts To Nnamdi Kanu's Life Sentencing". Peter Obi may feel that he can deceive his followers as someone who has the interest of the south east at heart, as some one who cares about justice but Peter Obi can not deceive me. I am making post because of how Obi has consistently portrayed himself as saint, as being better than all the other igbo politicians and the popularity he enjoys all over Nigeria.

Before final conviction of Nnamdi Kanu, I had made a post here titled "How Peter Obi Failed Nnamdi Kanu Over Identity Politics" in which I shared my views regarding how Nnamdi Kanu's unjust trial exposed Peter Obi's hypocrisy and selfish political motives. I asked and continue to wonder why has Peter Obi not leverage his platform and popularity to demand for the release of Nnamdi Kanu? I believe that there is no politician from another tribe enjoying the kind of good will Obi enjoys will seat back and allow such brazen injustice to be done against his tribesman let alone his brother.

Ever since the trial began, Peter Obi has remained conspicuously quiet, for someone known to love to be featured in the front pages of newspapers, his silence over this trial was deafening. If it was a northerner and not Nmamdi Kanu, I am certain that Peter Obi would've been consistently vocal as he usually does but since it is Nnamdi Kanu, it does not matter because he feels he already has the support of the south east over his presidential ambition. It indeed a shame that he chose to politicize the issue regarding Nnamdi Kanu as it took him 2 days after Kanu's imprisonment to make a lame statement which obviously was done to save face due to mounting pressures from Nigerians online.

If Peter Obi truly cared about fostering justice, fairness, and compassion which he always preaches in his press releases, why can't he go beyond words, use the international goodwill/popularity he enjoys to actually do something to advance igbo people's interests like pushing for a peaceful referendum or working with Kanu's lawyers to move his case to the ICC and create the necessary international awareness.

All igbos including Peter Obi knows that Nigeria will eventually kill Nnamdi Kanu in Sokoto, he will not get justice in any Nigerian court so Peter Obi's choice to pretend over this fact and his continued elusive body language should convince any objective person or his obidient supporters that he cannot be trusted as he does not care about the south east, that he is not the fearless upright leader he pretends to be. Charity begins at home, what Peter Obi has done and continue to do by distancing himself from this blatant injustice against Nnamdi Kanu is a confirmation of his true selfish motives that he cares more about his political ambition to rule one Nigeria (Which he won't achieve) than justice, it is obvious that everything else is expendable towards Peter Obi's presidential ambitions even when it has to do with his brother/tribesman.

Let Peter Obi prove me wrong by standing up for Nnamdi Kanu....

From your comment, I can see that you are igbo.... I hope you are a parent or aspire to be one some day. Why you should be concerned about what is been done to Nnamdi Kanu as an igbo man or woman is not because of today or your life per say but that of your children and what they will face as igbos in Nigeria tomorrow. This unjust callous precedence set against Nnamdi Kanu will be three or four times worse if igbos do nothing about it. No matter what you may think about Kanu or dislike about him, he deserves justice and fair trial. You may feel comfortable because you are doing your business as it has not yet affected you directly but it will eventually. This selfish sentiments by some igbos over Kanu's case will cost them dearly in future.... as long as one Nigeria is concerned, igbos will always face marginalization and injustice.....

LottiOk:
Weep more child 😭😭😭😭😭 cry yourself to sleep and when you wake up, cry More. I'll take you serious when you start making YouTube videos like Kanu and Ekpa or start organizing protests in sokoto to insist they Free Kanu. Stop hiding on a faceless forum like NL to gaslight, threaten or cyberbully Igbos to waste their lives for you and your demented god Kanu. "Rapu anyi AKA, onye ngbu" we won't join you and your ipob scam secessionist movement to initiate a modern Day rewanda genocide on law-abiding, Peace loving, business minded Ndigbo living and prospering all over Nigeria. Ipob should go and demand for kanu's release alone and leave Ndigbo out of their madness. Not all Igbos are ipob members, it's not by force to belong to ipob movement.

Enough is Enough ‼️

Peter Obi appears to be reading what is been discussed here and has reluctantly released a press statement after 2 days since Kanu's unjust conviction. I will post rebuttal to Peter Obi in a new thread soon as his press statement was made to only save face, not that he cares but for his selfish political ambition. I am not deceived....

Lisa, you have spoken well! Let all igbo influential/rich men bury their heads in total shame! Peter Obi is the most useless among all of them as he pretends to be better than all of them, always quick to release press statement as if he cares about justice, suddenly he has lost his voice and gone dumb all for his selfish political ambition to rule one Nigeria. I am not a politicians, a media personality or celebrity but let all igbos who had a platform but failed to speak up for Nnamdi Kanu when it mattered most live with this shame forever.

Bianca Ojukwu, Peter Obi, Soludo, Hope Uzodinma, Mba and co.... selfish people thinking that one Nigeria will continue to benefit you and shield you from what is coming.... You have all failed as true Igbos have rejected you, Tinubu and his fulani backed government will use and dump all of you at the appointed time. This injustice done to Nnamdi Kanu has exposed how weak and selfish you all are for the whole world to see. Hopless unity beggars.... it is a shame!

These people you mentioned are the judases within the igbos.... it is their choice to perish with Nigeria but the igbos will leave Nigeria whether they like it or not....

FreeIgboho:
@bolded but it is NOT only politicians benefiting.
What do you do with all the Igbos spread all over the country and doing very well - including Obi Cubana!
I can assure you in their heart if hearts they wish MNK will just disappear with his IPOB

I just read the news titled "Terrorism: Obi Cubana Reacts To Nnamdi Kanu's Life Sentencing", I commend the efforts been made by prominent individuals like Obi Cubana to free Nnamdi Kanu and advance peace in Nigeria. But in all Obi said, he needs to understand that peace or justice can never be achieved if the truth is not upheld. No peace can be achieved when Tinubu and his government continue to pamper terrorists and support the unjust oppression of igbos in Nigeria.

Obi Cubana and others need to tell themselves the truth that this government has an unholy alliance with the fulani oligarchs who believe they own Nigeria, the fulani terrorists and their foreign collaborators killing Nigerians. Obi Cubana and any person who truly wants a lasting peace in the failed country called Nigeria must understand that this may be achieved if the fulanis are ready to drop their bloody islamic conquests of Nigeria, he and others may try to enter the forest to negotiate and see if they will listen or stop (they won't).

Also, Obi Cubana and any person who truly wants peace should in additon to pushing for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, tell Tinubu to allow a peaceful referendum in south east so that igbos can exercise their right to self-determination.

These are some of the root causes of Nigeria's problems, sadly Tinubu or any other selfish politician benefitting from the status quo will not and can not deliver on any of these points so Nigeria is doomed, only a peaceful division can save the people. Obi Cubana will come to this realization soon....

There is no way you can explain this because the government and military is compromised....

pyyxxaro:
Na Luxurious Bus there they use carry these people or there de disappear

This is really shameful, our government has really failed woefully

Kawu Baraje made a public confession in 2022 on how him and other leaders of APC brought in terrorists into Nigeria but till date no security agency has invited Baraje or investigated his claim, you can read the news here -
https://businessday.ng/news/article/how-we-brought-in-fulani-militias-from-mali-sierra-leone-senegal-others-to-win-2015-election-kawu-baraje/


Also, Kebbi State governor Nasir Idris revealed that military authorities ordered the withdrawal of troops from Government Girls’ Comprehensive Secondary School shortly before dozens of school girls were abducted in Danko-Wasagu LGA. Please read here

If you want to be objective about Nigeria's situation, you will understand that what is happening has the full backing of the federal government. Tinubu, his cabinate and military are totally complicit and in support of these attacks. The ultimate aim behind these attacks is to wipe out indigenous non-fulani people of certain regions and enthrone an Islamic state in Nigeria. Nnamdi Kanu have said it all regarding what is happening now and I believe him. It will not stop but only get worse.... Do not let any one in this government deceive you any longer.... The One Nigeria slogan is only a trap to subdue and kill you. I know you and many others reading this thread may not agree with me or believe that Tinubu and Nigerian government have a hand in it, actively working with the northern fulani oligarchs but the sooner you all realize this painful inevitable truth and begin to champion your exist out of one Nigeria, the better your chances of surviving what is coming....

blackmantis:
😳😳😳😳

220 what?

In other news these same people are roaming around freely with some states making deals with them.

I am not surprised as this is only the beginning, more is yet to come....

Tinubu and his government is complicit, they are completely compromised.... whoever that's still holding on to the one Nigeria illusion does not love him/herself or family. The Fulani terrorists with help of their brothers in military and government have declared war on Nigeria, they will not stop until they conquer the southern region. No one should continue to weep for Nigeria as the evil contraption has expired, it is finished! All well-meaning indigenous people in the south who value their lives and region need to start the push for a peaceful exit out of Nigeria.... I will repeat no one can stop this bloody conquest... as long as you are in one Nigeria, nothing will stop the bloody pogrom from these killers.

Tinubu is like the undertaker sent to bury what is left of Nigeria.... Nothing can save this country now. Let all indigenous people of the south begin to prepare for the worse and start pushing for an exist of their region out of the evil contraption.

ebukal67x:
Kawu Baraje has just sealed the APC and Fulani narrative.

The British colonial evil project called Nigeria has expired, no one can save it. Your wish for Tinubu to resign will not change any thing or stop what is coming even if he some how miraculously resign which you know he won't. You and other well-meaning Nigerians still holding on to the illusory dream of one Nigeria need to wake up to reality. Nigeria is done and finished as it's inevitable end is near.... You should instead begin to demand for your people, region to unite and push for a peaceful exit from the evil contraption now before it finally collapses....

Is it not obvious that shameless justice Omotosho's illegal judgement was done in a haste for the singular purpose of taking Nnamdi Kanu to Sokoto to be killed by those who believe they own Nigeria? No one should pretend not to know what their sinister plan is.... They could not kill him while in detention in Abuja as it will be a direct indictment on Tinubu if it was done while he was still detained in Abuja so they had to sentence him to pave the way to move him out of Abuja.... I will not be surprised if news is published by next week that Nnamdi Kanu is critically ill or has collapsed in "Sokoto" prison....

As I said earlier, I will continue to speak out and call out all involved over Kanu's unjust incarceration, you've no right to dictate to me how I choose to respond to issues. Nnamdi Kanu remains a hero and an ambassador of truth in this world of deception and lies. I will continue to promote his message and push for justice which I believe he deserves just like everyone else including you. Let all Nigerians of good-will rise to speak up against this evil government agenda to kill him in Sokoto.... Nnamdi Kanu does not deserve this injustice....

Burob:
If he is ready to die like Biggie Smalls, why you dey here dey jump from thread to thread dey wail?

U done even tag ICC on x to come & save Mazi Nnamdi, please go rest.

You can read the actual news here - https://punchng.com/just-in-nnamdi-kanu-moved-to-sokoto-prison-says-lawyer-ejimakor/

Salewa97:
Kanu's supporters should stop being dramatic. You guys are becoming over dramatic about Kanu's case.

Where is the evidence that he has been moved to Sokoto?

Clap for yourself and mark this quote you made, you will need it to keep your sanity in check when the injustice you celebrate today over Nnamdi Kanu gets to your doorstep....

simpleseyi:
.
To cry is human, but to weep unstoppable is mental illness

Nnamdi Kanu is ready to die for his cause but he does not deserve to die unjustly and this is why I am speaking out.... I believe every man deserves a fair judgement even if he is guilty of all you say which I am yet to believe that he is due to facts so far. No one was and still able to prove that Nnamdi Kanu is a terrorist. If you must kill Kanu then give him a fair judgement under law. Also, let the army generals that ordered the killings of over 100 innocent people and unarmed IPOB members in the south east be made to face the law..... There is no justice in what is been done to Nnamdi Kani and you know it....

Burob:
We want to speak up for the dead people that his insightful hate speech lead to their deaths.

Where is your lieutenant gidgiddy? When Ekpa Simon was sentenced in far away Helsinki, I told him that Nnamdi Kanu was finished, as usual he was bragging no one can touch Omadike 1 of Abia State.

Well na ICC we done dey hear now say we need your help.

How many terrorists has the FG taken to Sokoto to serve jail time. I am asking you because you already know that yesterday unjust circus show you call judgement was only done for this very evil motive.....

mascot87:
Terrorists apologist. You care so much about a terrorist but you care less about his victims. What makes you different from iswap, boko haram and Fulani terrorists

All Nigerians and igbos who believe in justice and care about Nnamdi Kanu need to speak up for him now. If Nnamdi Kanu is killed, it will not stop the inevitable breakup from happening, I only hope Kanu will live to see it....

Burob:
Really, I told u he is guilty as charged.

I heard also that the Finnish government wants to kpai his lieutenant Ekpa Simon in the Helsinki prison?

Earlier today I came across a cryptic thread from helinues about Nnamdi Kanu dying in prison. I've not for once taken any thread made by helinues seriously until now due to the way he/she behaves in this platform but reading the news now about the government moving Kanu to Sokoto makes me wonder, helinues seems to know more than he/she pretends to know about the government's agenda over Nnamdi Kanu. I've searched for that post from helinues but can't find the thread again.

This dangerous move by evil APC government on Nnamdi Kanu should not be taken lightly. Let all igbos and Nigerians who care about Nnamdi Kanu begin the push to move his case to the ICC to save him from being killed aa it is obvious now that this is plan....

Nnamdi Kanu may not live to serve the unjust sentence.... All Igbos need to forget about their governors and political representatives because they won't do any to help Kanu as they are all sell outs.... it is time to unite and save Nnamdi Kanu before they kill him in Sokoto....



No one should be deceived, Nigeria's evil unjust government will not hesitate to kill Nnamdi Kanu in Sokoto prison.

As I told them yesterday this is only the beginning....

SeverusSnape:
So na today you dey know?? Nigeria is a terrorists' haven.

Katsina state is gone... more states to follow....

HgAkpobomeEr:
The situation is unfortunate.

Nigeria is finished, no one can save it. As long as the injustice over Nnamdi Kanu shameful trial is upheld, there is nothing anyone can do to stop what is coming. Kanu's prophetic declaration over Nigeria will come to pass.... I just read that another school in Niger state has been attacked and students kidnapped. Even in the midst of all these, Tinubu's government continues to pamper and negotiate peace deals with terrorists. Katsina state the home of former president Buhari is not spared as these terrorists now control over 20 local government areas. You can read the news article below....

No fewer than 20 out of the 34 local government areas in Katsina State, have reportedly entered into a peace accord with bandits, even as residents continue to express doubts over the sincerity and effectiveness of the deal, following fresh attacks in some of the affected communities.

The agreement, reached during a meeting attended by council chairmen and traditional rulers from the participating LGAs, saw the bandits arriving at the venue on motorcycles, firing gunshots into the air and leaving less than an hour later.

Journalists were barred from filming the proceedings due to security concerns.

According to media reports on details of the truce, the bandits demanded the release of their colleagues currently in detention across the state, while promising in return to free all captives in their custody. Local authorities reportedly agreed to facilitate the process through security agencies and correctional facilities.

Despite the pact, fear and uncertainty remain widespread, as some communities under the peace deal have continued to experience attacks.

A resident who spoke under anonymity said his only desire was for the security situation to stabilise.

“My only hope is for us to regain our freedom from these bandits. Let there be peace. Hundreds have lost their lives. Survivors have lost their livelihoods. Let us start a new life,” he said.

Another resident called for sustained engagement to prevent a breakdown of the fragile agreement.
“I expect constant consultation with the bandits to prevent breaches. There should be strong committees meeting regularly to consolidate on the gains of the peace deal and make reviews where necessary,” he said.

A third resident expressed cautious optimism, saying the truce could at least provide temporary relief for rural dwellers battling economic hardship.

"With this peace pact, our communities may have some relief-enough to harvest farm produce and face life. People in the southern and eastern parts of Katsina have suffered heavy economic losses,” he noted.

Katsina state is gone!

You think that what is coming will not affect you right....? Nigeria is finished and you will surely face the consequences of this injustice done to Nnamdk Kanu....

GodPunishOsu:
Bye bye to Nnamdi kanu,ipob love him but prison love him the most.

Lol please I want to read your comment on Justice Omotosho....

ImIfeyinwaWj:
No comment.

But it is Tinubu your Yorubacentric government that jailed him. Can you see it now?

crixlight2:
Lol the same fulani that arrest and smuggled him into nigeria from Kenya, when are you people going to learn

Lol you can not run away or hide the truth.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
Trash añd arrant nonsense


To hell with you.

This is why terrorism won't end as the government is complicit.... Nigeria the British experiment has expired.

princeade86:
And DSS can't invite baraje since that year and u think this country is ok. Continue.

What nonsense! Kanu is a British citizen and it is his right as a citizen to live there. I don't need your address because you are always peddling lies and never objective in your analysis. You have never owned up to the truth regarding your evil government's role in the massacre of innocent people and IPOB protesters in the south east. It is only a shameless hypocrite that will say and do what you are doing now after seeing the overwhelming evidences of illegality and injustice done to Nnamdi Kanu by Justice Omotosho.....

malali:

LMAO, British evil entity but Kanu ran away to go and live in Britain.
You are a lost cause....I wont address you because you dont matter....not now not ever.

The usual talking point is to resort to Simon Ekpa once challenged. I asked you to provide evidence to back up your accusation against Nnamdi Kanu. Simon Ekpa had a different group from Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB. Kanu has on several occasions distanced himself from Ekpa's violent activities, if you want evidence, you can open the link and read here - https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/613341-nnamdi-kanu-accuses-nigerian-govt-of-sponsoring-simon-ekpa.html?tztc=1

I will ask you one last time, can you show me evidence to back up your lies against Nnamdi Kanu?

otipoju:
You can console yourself or yelp all you want. Justice has taken its full course.

He is exactly where he needs to be and that is all there is to it. You are free to join him there out of solidarity.

When Simon Ekpa too is done with his sentence in Finland , he will come and join him there as a content creator.

One of the reason why the APC evil government under the leadership of Tinubu will not release Nnamdi Kanu is because of the complicity of the government over the insecurity and mass killings going on. This is why Nigeria's situation will only get worse. For those who are ignorant or pretend not to know what Nnamdi Kanu was referring to in the video regarding Buhari, Tinubu and APC as the early sponsors of the fulani terrorists that invaded Nigeria, you can read the news article about the revelation made by Kawu Baraje in 2022 below....

How we brought in Fulani militias from Mali, Sierra Leone, Senegal, others to win 2015 election - Kawu Baraje

Revelations have started to be made on how Nigeria got itself into the current high level of insecurity in the country.

Abubakar Kawu Baraje, a former chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC) on Monday traced the origin of the current insecurity in the country to the influx of Fulani from neighboring countries like Sierra Leone, Mali, Senegal, Niger and Chad brought into the country for election purposes in 2015.

He said this in Ilorin as part of activities to mark his 70th birthday anniversary

Baraje, who once served as the party’s national secretary and chairman of the breakaway faction of PDP, said the Fulani men causing havoc in the country are not aboriginal to Nigeria.

“We are not asking the right question on how the same Fu­lani we have been living with suddenly turned out a menace.

“We also must ask how they had access to their guns,” the ex-party chairman asked.

Baraje said that the Fulani men wreaking havoc in the country are not the Nigerian Fulani.

The security agencies have not been open about the nature of the problem.

“They have made arrests. Why haven’t they told the pub­lic who the terrorists are?” asked Baraje.

According to him, the Fu­lani causing security problems in the country were brought in to help facilitate victory in the 2015 election.

“After the election, the Fu­lani have refused to leave. I and other like minds wrote and warned those we started APC with that this was going to hap­pen but nobody listened,” he explained.

Why are Nigerians still foolishly holding on to the grand illusion that these killings will stop and Nigeria's situation will get better? How can a government led by those who benefitted from terrorism save you from the fulani terrorists jihadi bloody conquest?
