How Nigerian Army Handed Chinwetalu Agu Over To DSS / DSS Arrests Chinwetalu Agu / Nigerian Army: We Arrested Chinwetalu Agu For Supporting IPOB (2) (3) (4)
Chinwetalu Agu And A Tribalized Nigeria By Alexander Ubani by Thandiubani(m): 9:09am On Oct 13, 2021 |
If you are seeking to understand why many Igbos want out of Nigeria, take the case of actor Chinwetalu Agu and his painful ordeal in the hands of the Nigerian Army and the DSS as a good example. First, they lied against him, said he was soliciting support for IPOB. Second, they said he was not assaulted. But a video of the incident showed soldiers dragging him on the road. These glaring lies and injustice didn’t stop there. He was handed over to the DSS where he spent days being interrogated for what exactly? They interrogated him for days because he wore a red and black cloth with the inscription of the rising sun, sharing N10,000 bread to the poor in Anambra. In a country where everything has become very expensive. Inflation rate is over 17% with the unemployment rate surging above 33%. A country that imports more than it exports and 1 dollar is now N570. Things are horribly bad that the government borrows to fund the budget and run the country. Common bag of water (pure water) is now N320. Something we bought N80 some months ago. A tiny egg that sold N40 some months ago is now N70 while a paint of garri sold N600/700 some months ago is now N1300/1400. Titus in tin, that one you use to cook indomie that was N350 some months ago is now N700. With this little info, you can guess the rest. Someone out of the bottom of his heart decides to use his own money to feed the poor ends up being humiliated and lied against by the people who are supposed to protect him. To every reasonable human, such a dehumanizing condition of being dragged along the road in public by poorly educated soldiers who prey on the weak but take to their heels when confronted by fellow armed men is a traumatic experience that will take years to heal. That incident alone screams injustice. The flagrant violation of Agu’s fundamental human rights and the wishy-washy statement by the army that reeks of falsehood and character assassination reminds us of a known trademark and a particular desire to clamp down on people’s freedom. In today’s Nigeria, security agencies and its operatives are horribly partial. People from the southeast are haunted, hunted and pursued like an endangered specie just for staging peaceful protests or sharing bread wearing black and white cloth with an inscription of the rising sun, while criminal bandits from the north are given five-star treatment, petted, begged to repent. They are even given motorcycles and money and big ceremonies held in their honor. Even security agents escort some highly placed individuals to visit these criminals in the forest. It seems like there are now two constitutions in the country: one for the special north, the other for the south. Take for instance, Gumi. The Islamic cleric has been a vocal voice for the bandits. Soliciting for amnesty on their behalf. Visited them, negotiated for ransom to be paid to them, even supported them saying they are not criminals. He walks about freely today, not a single invitation by the DSS. The army dare not arrest him. He’s untouchable because he’s from the north which is the impression so far given. What about bloodthirsty herdsmen? Many of them arrested for attacking communities are quietly released by the police, according to a renowned Oba. Oba Williams Akinyemiju, the Olugusin of Igusin town in the Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State even lamented about the matter last year. He said police always release any herdsmen arrested for attacking his community. So it goes to show the injustice in the land. The stark marginalization and the uncomfortable reality that the country operates two laws for the north and the south. While the main terrorists are clothed, bathed and given shelter, when you dare to say you have had enough of the injustice and tribalism, you become proscribed with the security forces sent after you to wipe out your tribe in the name of one Nigeria. Bandits are still having a field day in the north. Boko Haram still controls LGAs and herdsmen are still hustling lands with farmers. Yet, you choose a man wearing Biafra colors, unarmed to show your strength. Shame! Looking at the political terrain since 1999, all those shouting one Nigeria yet promote candidates like Tinubu, Bello, Atiku are hypocrites. They truly do not care about the unity of Nigeria. To them, it's all about their personal selfish interest. While all these are going on, the north still wants to retain power in 2023. The southeast since 1999 has not produced the president, has no sense of belonging. Mmiri amaa mamiwater. Alexander Thandi Ubani @thandiubani thandiubani@yahoo.com

Sentiments as usual. 1) First the police and army have been killed by the group known for using the said colour. Wearing it shows your support for the proscribed group. When there is a cult war, you dare not wear colours of the rival cult to the other cults territory. 2) When trader money was shared by a woman wearing APC dress or Osibanjo, it was called vote buying. 3) Nigerians of all tribes made chinwetalu agu who he is. He is an actor in Nigeria Movie Industry, Nollywood. Nigerians of all tribes by movies he is paid to act, watch them in cinema, and even subscribe to DSTV to watch. Producers earn from all this and pay him. Therefore its selfish and insensitive for him to rise to stardom by the platform provided and supported by all Nigerians, and support the idea of secession . 2 Likes 2 Shares |

udele1: God continue to bless you. This ESN or IPOB Started with Burning and Attacking Police Stations - Killing Police Men and Military Men ....... What are there reasons for doing these - Remember that when they started this .... The Nigeria Government Never Arrest Nnamdi Kanu .... So why exactly are they doing that !!! The First Day ..... SIT At Home Order Was Observed - People Who don't Abide by the Rules where beaten and some of their Shops Destroyed - So for what intention are they doing that Across The IGBO States - None of the Government Officials Challenged the Order , Banks were closed , School , Markets , Churches .... Even The Governors Obeyed the rules !!! Coming to Anambra State -November 6th 2021 is the Forth Coming Election .... If ESN Place an Order of Sit at Home That Day , How many of Anambra People will come out and Vote !!! Since They Started With Burning Of Police Station , Burning of INEC Offices , Killing Of Police and Military Men .... This is a Clear Evidence That These Group Of People wants to Take Over Power , In a very Deadly way This man Added That ...... A Time will come when ..... IF You are a Very Rich Man in Igbo Land .... and You don't Physically Support The IPOB or ESN ..... They will send you a letter .... which they will use the order you to Close down your business ..... and you know you can't say NO. What This man is telling the IGBO's is that they should wake up now .... before this Sit at Home rule .... will turn to what Taliban are Doing to Afghanistan |

udele1:the reason IHEJIRIKA Was criticise during his time as chief of army staff was as a result of perceived human rights violations, but today in the eastern region nobody cares if the right of innocent ones are violated or not. Paid propagandist like yourself cares not, If you believe that every igboman killed is an ipob member without investigation or blinking an eyelid, every community destroyed is ipob camp,then do you think you are save as an igboman? Anyone can kill you and tag you ipob or ESN, oga having sense is one using it's properly is a different thing all together. |

udele1: You are just plain ignorant. What Chinwetalu Agu wore is not just an IPOB attire. What he wore represents Biafra and that has been in existence before the formation of IPOB. He supports Biafra, that is no crime. If he supports secession, that is good for him cos even the UN recognizes that right. Because of the peanut you get paid from those in power, you have become blind to other important points I raised. The truth is that every single Nigerian is suffering under this government. The high cost of living is affecting all of us and one day, you will still rant how things have become too expensive. When those paying you run out of money, you will come to realize that injustice to one, is injustice to all. I see nairaland mods are pro-Nigeria. But, they are still the ones projecting people like Tinubu. What happened to equity, justice and a sense of belonging. Why can't we be sincere for once as a people. We shout one Nigeria with one mouth, but our actions say otherwise. |

Yet they want Igbos to abandon Biafra agitation and accept Nigeria, under gunpoint abi?! Well the truth is that the shiithole is gone forever, nothing can save it again. As for their inhuman treatment of an elderstatesman like Chinwetalu Agu, they can do their worst but Chinwetalu Agu has done his bit and the more they oppress him, the more they book a place for him in the hall of fame of those that would be remembered for their role in bringing to an end the sham called Nigeria. |

Onepeople: Your own na child play....when Boko Haram menace started, if there an attack on military convoy or formations ,any living things within 100 meters of radius are taken care of. The kind of bomb drop in the Maiduguri alone can sink the whole of South East. They blow up sophisticated Air Force Apha Jets on numerous occasion and the lastest with the fighter Pilot celebrating for narrowly surviving death and yet some gullible minded fellow like you still believe the Government is not taking the issue of insecurity in the country serious. So the Jet was sent for an aerial display or dancing “makosa” with the Bandits? |

udele1:so killing anyone in igboland means revenge against ipob? Continue in your madness it will get you, i pray nobody will be there to speak for you, popular adage if an igboman, trees does not die immediately is fall,continue your madness bro, continue shifting the goal post . |
