Instead of Kanu to be realistic and address issues, he still spews hate rhetoric against the Hausa and Yoruba, forceful language on the composition of Biafra, and idealistic images of Biafra as if it won't be peopled with the Igbos in Nigeria today.

To be honest, Kanu's approach is much better than that of people like you who think that the destiny of the southern minorities is to perpetualy remain in Nigeria and beg the North for restructuring/resource control.

trillville:


Where do I start from? The richest black woman on earth made her money from Niger delta wealth, yet she is Yoruba. I don't want to sound like a tribalist, but are you aware of the mass poverty facing people in your very own Niger delta region?

Nigeria as it stands today will never develop. Year after year, the general population keeps getting poorer and poorer. Only the connected to government make huge money. People don't pay taxes, so they don't hold the government accountable. Currently, the oil wealth is shared opaquely never reaching the common man.

The first statement nnamdi kanu made is probably the most intelligent thing he said. He said he did not support nzeogwu coup. that coup cost the east and the rest of nigeria all this years of under development by casting the easterners as the bad guys. Nigeria was a country on its way to greatness but for the greed of some. Each was the highest exporter of groundnuts, and the second highest exporter of cocoa. we exported large quantities of rubber, cotton and palm oil. Even in modern day, nigerians from all tribes are making great strides in every nation they live in apart from in nigeria itself. We have had leaders from the north, from the south and from the west, yet majority of nigerians have gotten poorer.

Talking about SS oil wealth, Abu Dhabi, an emirate in the UAE owns 96 percent of all proven oil and gas reserves in the UAE, while Dubai owns a meager 4 percent. UAE operates a federal system as nigeria had in its first republic. The leadership in Dubai was challenge by the idea that it fellow emirate was feeding it, so it decided to invest oil revenue gotten from ABU Dhabi in infrastructure to diversify it's sources of income. Today, most people hardly talk about Abu Dhabi. Dubai is much more popular as a trading and tourism hub.

Nnamdi clearly stated he wanted development for his people and any other Nigerian with similar interest. What is wrong in saying this? Nnamdi made many mistakes in the past but he seems to have really matured and tailored his message for success. It confuses me how any SS person can be against this man when all he has is the interest of your region and it's people.

I am from the middlebelt and I can tell you for a fact that the igbos lost the war because nzeogwu's actions painted them in bad light. Nnamdi's stand on restructuring is commendable. His approach of civil disobedience will only galvanise the poor suffering nigerian masses to victory.

And you think the Asaris, Tom Polos, Boyloafs, Ayiris, Iboris, Uduaghans, etc, didn't make billions from oil money? These are our own people in the ND who shortchanged the people and pocketed the wealth without doing any tangible thing for the people. Some of them even claimed to be Niger Delta activists (what has their activism done till date?).

Nnamdi Kanu should not pretend to have anyone, other than his Igbo people, at heart. We are not in need of a pity party or an Igbo messiah with idealistic solutions to problems that militancy could not solve. He should focus on his Igboid Biafra and champion for it alone.

As an Urhobo man, Kanu doesn't even know what we face and I'm damn sure no Urhobo will subscribe to a movement that thrives more on hate speeches and vendettas than anything else. The Biafran agitation today has nothing to offer to me and my people. When it does, we would know.

If you think Kanu's approach has or will do anything, then continue believing so. But don't ever make the mistake of thinking realistic SSners are not doing something! Just because they don't go about shouting afonja and Hausa, doesn't mean negotiations are not being made and our future is not being discussed.
Not everyone will take a suicidal path to actualize their dreams. In war, alliance is the key, not noise making and chest beating.

While he made some good points on the state of the Nigerian nation, he is at best very idealistic on the Biafran issue. He acknowledged that multi-ethnicity is one of the problems with Nigeria yet he blatantly referred to the Niger Delta (including the many non-Igboid tribes -and even mentioning Itsekiri & Isoko) as "Southern Biafra". Such delusion and audacity are among the reasons why Biafra may never be a reality any time soon.

He said so many things; mainly utopic in nature. However, he did not state the framework for which Biafra will operate its federal structure. It is not just about granting ethnicities their own regions. That will not solve all of the problems. There are core issues that need to be addressed in a federation and he never spoke one bit about any of them. Rather he was boasting about making Lokoja a "seaport" and "dredging the river Niger". Making it seem like he is campaigning to the Tiv and other Middle Belt groups.

For someone who wants Biafra so much, he paid more attention to Nigeria, Tinubu, Mohammed, and the North. He exuded more of a personal angst and vendetta against Nigeria and Nigerians, rather than a genuine love for Biafra.


Finally... All I can say is that this interview has reinforced my conviction that the Biafra agitation, as it is now, is nothing more than blatant idealism by misguided youths, led by a delusional man whose main justification for the struggle is his hatred for the Hausa-Fulani and the "Zoo", as he puts it.

Well said.. I am Igbo but I have always found something off about his approach.
I won't deny igbos are heavily marginalized in Nigeria but I can alos pick a million better ways kanu could have gone about this and achieved results
The pen is so much mightier than the sword

Anyways Biafra will be very good for all groups as then all regions will be forced to look inward and develop

The only flaw in this plan is kanu himself
Alas I fear this Biafra won't materialize with kanu as the lead agitator
We need sound intellectual minds to guide this

Michael004:
you see your cursed life outside. They guy you wanted has told you he's from ebony state. Not all of igbo can be infected by zombie.

Why are you headlessly junketing over people's mention like an insane rabbit on heat without first evaluating your mental state, i guess you skipped your medication thereby showing the world how stupid you are and at large riddicling your kinsmen and your entire afonjaristic tribe which you are insanely trying so hard to defend.

BTW dirty afonja...its Ebonyi not ebony

I'm still sceptical about Mr Kanu, his aspirations and mode of dispensing his ideologies. Having watched and listened to him speak in the video, I am beginning to understand and like him, however I think he should tone tone down his verbal attacks against some northerners which I think bordered on his frustrations with the Nigeria project and possibly his views and experiences with them.

He should communicate and share his views more diplomatically, he should try and win the hearts of people with sound argument grounded in research and not just personal opinions.
He is very passionate but I think he should win allies by taking a route down the diplomatic pathway mixed with his fiery courageous stance but devoid of the hatred and aversion for some people which he is being associated with.

I fear for his life. His enemies would be devising other means of dealing with him and if they succeed, his dreams would be gone. I'm also worried some politicians would be riding on his back to achieve personal and selfish goals and I believe he is smart enough to realise that.

Agumba, I need to reach you. I have questions but only private discussions.

God bless you oo.

Which sound intellectual minds and where the f@#&! have they been all the while ?

Nnamdi Kanu a dropout, took the bull by the horn to confront and outmaneuver the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy and has written his name in history.
The intellectuals you are waiting for are either seeking government contracts, jostling for appointment and jobs, or too timid to make their voices heard. At least appreciate the man for what he has done : mobilize the Ibo en-mass and the southern minorities as well - a feat no other Ibo man since Ojukwu has been able to achieve.

IloveMoney:


It is the media that has painted Nnamdi kanu as a power hungry scammer, deceiving his people and seeking Biafra for selfish reasons and that he is after the oil in the delta regions.

I have been following him since 2014 and i can tell you that Nnamdi kanu is one of the few intelligent leaders remaining in Nigeria. He knows what he is doing and his quest for biafra is to take us out of slavery, which is to the benefit of the whole south and middle belt but unfortunately we are easily brain washed by the media and our political leaders whose condemnation of Nnamdi Kanu is to protect their selfish interest..

can someone in the S-west tell me how following Kanu the way biafrans follow himis different from the way yorubas follow and worship tinubu. they even named him jagaban. The only difference is that, Kanu has honour while Tinubu is a scammer without honour.

Obviously, one thing i like about igbos is that, they may not have leaders they follow sheepishly like others do, but once they have accepted you as their leader, they will follow you even to the grave. they are extremely and emotionally loyal and dependable people, same as once they have rejected you, just forget it. you have lost them. They hardly unite to make up their mind. But once they do, it will only take divine intervention to persuade them. That is why if the east support you in any political movement, it is easy to get block vote from the east unlike in the west where their votes are always divided and confused

They case of support for Jonathan and the rejection of Buhari all the four times he vied for presidency even when he had igbo VP, igbos rejected him and show no remorse.

One thing i like about kanu is that he is a youth, the same youth leadership we have been dreaming about and now that the opportunity has come to change the status quo, those gullible Nigeria always crying for change are still following the paid media and the grandfather politicians who are outdated and have nothing for the coming generations other than destruction, power greed and institutionalised poverty.

Funny enough, Nnamdi kanu was once an advocate of One Nigeria, who led the UK protest against boko haram killings in 2012

watch this interview of him long before now.

I disagree with you over the emboldened. You know why? comments from IPOB members here on nairaland alone paint the biafra cause so dark. The constant roping of Donald Trump into this how bullshit, is that media as well? A LOT of works need to be done in address those foot soldiers who are giving this whole thing a bad image because it makes me ashamed as a fellow igbo person. Just read above this and you will see i quoted someone, likely an IPOB memeber, threatening someone else in broad daylight and that he is sending people after him... trust me, things like this is what will be used against this Biafra agitation at the end of the day.

If anything happens to that man, it is in your hand. Most of you are the reasons why a lot of people are still undecided about this biafra cause because of the way you often react to issues. Now tell me what you want to do if not to kill him. I don't know why it is so hard to calm down when this issue is being discussed.

Don't mind him. This won't be the first time that account is threatening me. It's so sad that he has to resort to threats just because someone's opinion differs from his.

Get real. The North will never allow any sort of restructuring in Nigeria. Not now, not ever. If anyone thinks that the North will agree to restructuring, which will take away their political and economic control of Nigeria, that person needs to have his head examined.

The truth is that everyone and every ethnic group in the South of Nigeria will at some point have to face the same choice Ojukwu faced 50 years ago, accept "Northern controlled Nigeria" or fight for your sovereignty. Anyone thinking there are other choices out there are mistaken.

People like Kanu have already made their choice.
