The problem with you Yorubas is that you people think that everyone must reason like you people. I dont think that it occurs to you people that other people have a way of doing their own thing. Even if Kanu had any thoughts of using IPOB to get Biafra sympathetic politicians into office, he would have still had to do the things he did such as hold huge rallies to drive the point of Biafra home. It should be noted that IPOB chose the path of mass agitation as a way to get referendum because IPOB knows that even if they win all the elective positions in the SE/SS, they will never have the numbers required to move and pass a motion for referendum at the national assembly. As for intigating violence, all I know is that IPOB had no history of violence before the Army came with their operation Python dance.



It is not a new thing for people to revere people they see as freedom fighters. Ojukwu fought the Biafran war but is still revered in death by his people. What makes you a hypocrite is that you are here talking about Kanu while your house is burning. You just witnessed your own government use state sponsored terrorism in a democracy by sending the Nigerian Army, that has no constitutional mandate to fight crime, after an unarmed man. You witnessed the Army unleash mayhem, murder and military brutality on an unarmed people in a peaceful area but what you interested in is the fall of Kanu, not the fall of democracy. What a disgrace.

I still think that Kanu may be alive. If he is, I still think that he will beat his treason case, overturn the stupid proscription of IPOB at the courts, and come out to continiue where he stopped

Its not how many times a nan falls that is important but how many times he picks himself up

You pretend not to have seen or heard about Nnamdi Kanu’s YouTube videos inciting Ndigbo to violence and threatening same against the Nigerian State. The man is sick with PPD. About time his person is separated from the struggle for Biafra which is legitimate.

Looking back now it is amazing how Nnamdi Kanu was not diagnosed early enough for Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD). A look at his YouTube showed the symptoms that entitled him to admittance at Yaba Left. He has now put Ndigbo lives and investments at Yaba Right and elsewhere at risk after infecting IPOB and his admirers with PPD!.#embraceloveitpreventsPPD

SO BY THIS TIME OF THIS EARLY MORNING NA NNAMDI KANU MATTER U CARRY FOR HEAD,HOW JOBLESS CAN ONE BE.

Thoughtful Nigerian Citizens woke up this morning ruminating over the expectations at Nnamdi Kanu’s trial at Federal High Court Abuja this morning. You appear to be an exception. Best to avoid PPD. #wakeuptoyourenvironment

These folks suffer from Paranoid Personality Disorder. (PPD). PPD afflicted folks and their children run from good when not pursued only to later complain it never came their way. Even Aso Rock Clinic lacks drugs but you shun free medical services because you suffer from PPD! #embrace-love

That’s all you see!

A drive through his Senatorial District in Kogi State as one travels in the direction of Abuja will reveal four things. 1. Life is very hard and harsh for its dwellers. 2. Sen. Dino Melaye has no visible and positive impact on its dwellers targeted at facilitating a better life for them. 3. Sen. Dino Melaye’s passion is elsewhere and nowhere near the care for his people. 4. Its dwellers deserve him!

I have never been in support of One Nigeria, bcs i realy hate d history behind the amagamation of 1914, the unripe independent of 1960 where the illeterate & worst part of country were directly employ to military nd place of autority , where jxt a single certificate can be USE by majority of the tribe. Am 100% behind the agitators of Biafra. PMB is selfish, inhumanity, betrayal nd centimental, no wonder almighty God purnish him with sickness... i wish ipob could succeed sooner, then comes Oodua empire

Even bitter leaf leaves a sweet after taste! #pursuepeaceshunhatredbehealthy

QueenOfNepal:
NA has become a tool of oppression and nepotism that it's core responsibility has gone to the dogs.



NA has never looked so unprofessional not until Jubril mounted the saddle

Wrong. Were the NA under Jonathan allowed to be this professional BH would not have come this far. Alas, Fortunatus The Ineffectual Bufoon was a ludicrous c-in-c! Today, Any Army, rag-tag or otherwise in the West AFRICAN sub region will think twice before taking on our NA! Buhari has restored the dignity of our military.

Veni, vidi, vici.

NPComplete:
Just look at this fool. So this your comment is what passes for commonsense in your village? So they should have given him more time to arm his BSS or decide to defy the state more then go in to capture him when they know he will be more prepared for them? Chai!!! You are a bloody fool

And that was what Jonathan did by default when BH under his nose was allowed to ramp up and became bold enough to confront and demystify the NA. #thatjonathanwasabadc-in-c

Applause!

genearts:
This is marginarisation..m

O thou satirist!

This is salutary! This is what Ndigbo should be about. I commend Sen. Ike Ekweremadu for this.

With respect to the Bishop he missed the point. That he missed the point is not wholly attributable to him but to CAN’s failure to properly state the obvious in the matter of the Islamization of Nigeria. THE TRUTH IS ISLAM TAKES NO PRISONERS! Put differently, Islam recognizes only a living space and government that is wholly Islamic and where Sharia governs ALL aspects of life with ALL LIVING TOTALLY SUBMISSIVE TO THE WILL OF ALLAH. Saudi Arabia where no other faith is permitted is the near example of what it is to say Islam takes no prisoners.
Were all to be Christians in Nigeria it would not matter to Christianity beyond intercession for a change of mind where any citizen thereafter choose to be a Muslim and openly practice his new found faith. Islam is not so. Islam does not guarantee freedom of worship. It is classic taqqiya when Muslims say otherwise. That is what CAN has not been able to effectively communicate!

Boyooosa:
…You ‘ve treated states with equality—Umahi
IPOB is symptomatic consequence of the continuous marginalization of the south east—Nwodo
By Johnbosco Agbakwuru

President Muhammadu Buhari Friday said that his government has been fair to the South East geo-political zone in terms of appointment which he said was evidenced in the allocation of four prominent ministerial positions to the zone.


The President also assured leaders from the zone that his administration will benefit them more from roads and coastal rail projects, which he said were of critical importance to the economy.

But the President of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief John Nnia Nwodo told the President that the South East had remained marginalized by successive administrations, which he stated was the reason behind the recent agitations by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

According to Nwodo, IPOB is a symptomatic consequence of the continuous marginalization of the south east over a long period of time.

President who met with the leaders of the South East led by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu which had in attendance the President of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Nwodo, the governors and federal lawmakers from the area in a closed-door at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, told them that 2nd Niger Bridge, the East-West Road and the Coastal rail project, were receiving utmost attention from his administration.

President Buhari in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said counterpart funding from the Chinese government would substantially fund these projects, which when completed will improve the welfare, well-being and economy of the people in the region.

He said, “I know the Chinese are very competent in handling such projects and we will ensure that we get the money for the projects to take off. I thank you for articulating your demands and I want to assure that we are doing our best for the country.

“If we can stop people from stealing, then there will be more resources to put into projects that will create employment for Nigerians.”

Responding to allegations of under-representation of Igbos in his government, the President said: “I gave south-east four substantive ministers in the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Investment, Science and Technology and Labour.

“Seven states in the North got Ministers of State and of the two Ministries headed by your sons, I cannot take any decision on foreign policy and investments without their input.”

He said he would soon visit states in the zone, adding, “I want to assure you that I came into government with a clear conscience and I will also leave with a clear conscience.”

Earlier, the President of Ohaneze, while articulating the demands of the zone to the President highlighted the issue of state creation, restructuring, federal projects in the South East namely Enugu-Onitsha road, Enugu-Port Harcourt road and Aba-Ikot-Ekpene road, among others.

Nwodo also demanded urgent presidential interventions on the Enugu Airport, reticulation of the gas-pipelines in the South East and the standard gauge plan for railway construction.

Commending the President’s remarkable achievements on security and the fight against corruption, Nwodo declared: “we are ready to work with you. We are determined to work with you. We know you are a decisive leader and we know God will continue to give you the wisdom to govern Nigeria.’’

Also speaking, Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State expressed satisfaction on the outcome of their discussions with the President on critical issues and topics affecting the region.

Umahi, who is the Chairman of South East Governors Forum said, “You have no hatred for any state. You have treated all states with equality. What one state gets in the north, the other gets in the south.”

Speaking to State House correspondents after the meeting, Chief Nwodo said, “We had a frank and robust exchange, we discussed problems of the south east and as head of state he is the finale repository of an appeal for the resolutions of those problems. We went into great details about each of those problems and i have confidence that they will give it the attention there deserve.

“We dealt with problems of development in the south east; basic capital projects which have for a very long time been neglected not just from this government but for a very long time, major arteries of federal highways in the south east have been in complete state of disrepair. Enugu-Onitsha, Enugu-Port Harcourt, Aba-Ikot Ekpene are virtually impassable.

“We talked about the inland waterways and the dredging of the River Niger. We talked about the reticulation of gas pipeline on the south east. We export gas from the south east to the other parts of the country, but there is no reticulation of the pipeline and industrial clusters in the south east.

“We talked about the only international airport we have in the south east which has very bad infrastructure in terms of the buildings that have ravaged by …

“We got assurance from the president that he will deal with each of those problems.”

On whether the issue of alleged marginalization of the zone came up in the meeting, he said, “That was the opening line and that was why we single out these things. Like I have said these problems have been there overtime and we have had several presidents, it didn’t just happen in the last two years. But we expressed the desire that he should be able to address them.”

Also responding to the question on whether the president’s promises could be trusted, Nwodo said, “There is no reason for me to doubt them because this is the first time I have had this interaction with him. I have the feeling that he spoke to us very frankly.”

On whether the issue of IPOB came up in their discussion, he said, “We came here for the issues of developments in our place. We talked about IPOB as a symptomatic consequence of the continuous marginalization of the south east over a long period of time. Understandably our children are restive and we want to make sure that the federal government is responsive to the issues that have cumulated in the quintessence of these agitations.”

Speaking on the issue of devolution of powers, Nwodo said, “We did talk about the issue of devolution of powers, the constitution, the paucity of the states and local governments in our place and the president has asked that he be given time to look at this more holistically”.

Members of the South East delegation included, the Deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, the President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief John Nnnia Nwodo, Governors Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state and the deputy governors of Imo and Anambra states.

Others were the Chairman of South East senate caucus, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, the Deputy Minority Leader in the House of Representatives, Chukwuma Onyema, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama and the Minister of Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu olelema.

Cc...lalasticlala

Idol worship by default! The Bible expressly prohibits the engraving and worshipping of ANY image. For those who know and are willing to learn, that Mary is the idol goddess variously known as queen of the coast, Semiramis, Yemoja, Yewa, Osun, Venus, mammy water etc desperately seeking for and lapping up worship while also serving as a diversionary signpost to lead folks away from God and into hell.

somebody called you a terrorist yesterday then today he carry medicine come my brother no be this thing you go do..................

If this picture is truly representative of Ndigbo children fleeing school for fear of alleged Nigerian Army death injections masked as free health care it portends the not good for future Ndigbo as the falsehood planted in the innocent are seeds of discord sure to produce a harvest of persecution complex.

ifyain:
I will give you a quick definition of terrorism and please take your time and think if IPOB fits into this definition, try and get a good education because it will liberate your mind.
Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

Correct definition! Now, proceed to YouTube and view Nnamdi Kanu videos. That done, revisit your definition and post your findings here.

DanseMacabre:
I love men with the guts to speak out. It gives me hope that not everybody has sold out.

Fine. He spoke out during the tenure of Goodluck Jonathan when appointments were skewed in favor of the South East and South South. He spoke out then when South East and South South appointees in government neglected, omitted and or refused to be influential in fixing the roads and infrastructures in their geo political zones. He pretends not to know that after a military engagement it is the thing to do worldwide and historically to seek to achieve peace via some form of social welfare initiatives. He pretends not to know that IPOB activities were already overheating the polity in the South South and South East and was bound to snowball into something more dastardly but for Operation Dance which ran Nnamdi Kanu outta the public space resulting in the relative calm presently obtainable in those parts. His opinion is, with respect to the elder statesman divisive and capable of further deepening the distrust and ostracisation of Ndigbo ocassioned by the hate speech of Nnamdi Kanu and the banned IPOB. #embracepeace

Typical. Very typical! This, coming from a very educated and exposed mind is sorry!! Thankfully he is not the future of Ndigbo.

Reference:
That is why they should be empowered by liberty to deal with their own. Is it a hidden fact that in most states you have a dichotomy between local and 'Abuja' politics and politicians battling to control their localities in all parties since 1999. Is it a secret that most state governors and legislators spend a better part of their resources (time and treasure) 'abroad' for fear of their constituents. Is it a secret that the centre whether government or political leadership is apt and fond of meddling in Internal, local politics, pre-selecting candidates and other anti-democratic tendencies in favour of whoever is the defacto Head of State and I can go on and on.

Ibori was not made in Delta. He was made, supported and empowered in Abuja for one purpose long ago. To corner the resources of his people. Only when he grew too big for his boots die he cut away and sought relevance locally to fortify himself. Empower the people with the power of freedom, stop meddling in local politics and watch people select the right leadership to move themselves forward.

I can understand the north with its age old traditions of feudalism will resist this but southerners are more educated and pragmatic. They want to be the captains of their destinies and this cannot be denied them. Stop scare mongering and flying false flags. Restructuring will solve ALL Nigeria's perennials problems, period.

All politics is, truly, local!
