EbukaFran:You don't even know the meaning of a nation,pls refer to your dictionary for proper guide. You said Nnamdi kanu is a terrorist,but your incompetent DSS has been unable to convict him or produce convincing evidence against him for terrorism charges,for over 60 days now and counting. And they still held him against his wish,against court orders to release him thereby trampling on his human right and depriving him of freedom. Doesn't this show you how lawless this contraption called nigeria is? Makes me think of leaving this country for good,cos the things happening here has confirmed to me that nigeria is a failed state and its about sinking sooner or later. 1 Like |

EbukaFran:1. Let me know but one way he fought the government. And to set the records straight, Nigeria is not a nation. It's not even a nation-State like US. A nation embodies people of common historic, cultural and ethical background; plus same language and a natural sense of unity. If I support secession today, it's for this one reason - EXTREME ISLAMIST KILLINGS. 2. Is human life sacred to those killers up North? Will it ever be? Isn't a man's life greater than all the treasures in all the banks of the world? 3. Moreso, can you tell me what makes an Ibo man one with a Yoruba man, and at the same time one with a Hausa man? I have always avoided to comment on issues like this, but it's like your kind of people think that silence means you can ride others. Impossible. Let me quote the scriptures to you: Deuteronomy 14: 14,15 - WHEN YOU MAKE A KING OVER YOU, YOU SHOULD CHOOSE YOUR BROTHER AS YOUR KING; YOU MAYN'T MAKE A STRANGER YOUR KING. 4. That is the right of a people of the same ethnicity to govern themselves up there. Isn't it? We have much to say, but we're quiet, not because we don't know how execrable it is to be called '0ne' with people who co-exist with you as foes. Convince me that there shall be safety soon and for centuries to come. 5. If you can't why should I be one with those that will kill me at any time? 6. If he's a terrorist then the Nigerian courts aren't competent to have acquitted him. Isn't that even a reason to shun the federation? Who will speak for the common man then? 7. If you can't answer the above questions logically, then don't bother quoting me because I won't reply apathy. 2 Likes |
