Fearmongers or Prophets? How Nnamdi Kanu / IPOB’s Warnings Became Reality

-


When IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu were shouting, "The Fulanis are coming!", "Divide Nigeria!", and "There is an Islamization agenda!", others dismissed them, saying, "Ohhh, he’s just a fearmonger," "He’s calling for war," "Igbos are Nigeria’s problem," or "They’re miscreants."  


When we say, "We need to unite," they respond:  

- "Ikwerre is not Igbo!"  

- "Igbanke is not Igbo!" 

- "We are South-South!" 

- "We are Delta Igbo!" 

- "My name is Sunday Okechukwu Oliseh, but sorry, I’m not Igbo."

Then, the Fulani terrorists—a.k.a. Northern Human Hunters)—entered Benue. Some said, "We are Plateau!"  

They moved into Plateau; others said, "We are Yoruba!"  

Then they advanced into Ondo. The Ekiti people claimed, "Ondo is close to the South-South; that’s why they’re affected."  

But when the terrorists reached Ekiti, the people panicked: "Wait… I thought the Igbos were lying? Well, let’s keep mute so Asiwaju won’t lose the presidency, remember it's our turn"  


Governor Akeredolu (of blessed memory), against all odds, mobilized every resource to defend Yorubaland. Yet, his brothers—who prioritized the presidency—allegedly helped the Fulanis poison him, took over, and politicized Amotekun.  


When Oyo was attacked, other Southwestern states dismissed it: "It’s a PDP state." 

Then, the "Uromi 16" incident happened. Suddenly, the North and Southwest united to remind everyone that the Esan people of Edo state have Igbo ancestry. Even though, years ago, they called us "Igbo expansionists" for saying the same thing.  


As soon as that narrative faded, the Northern Fulani propaganda machine stopped saying "What happened in Uromi?" and switched to "What happened in the South?" 

Miraculously, the South became "one"  

- No Edo person boldly declared, "Uromi is in Edo, and they’re not Igbos!"  

- The Yorubas didn’t claim Edo as descendants of Oranmiyan.  


Such is the hypocrisy of Nigeria’s other regions. But my joy is that every hypocrite gradually realizes why Nigeria cannot remain one.

Debunking the Misguided Attacks on Nnamdi Kanu: A Response to Baseless Accusations and Personal Vendettas by “Ugochinyere David”

  Debunking the Misguided Attacks on Nnamdi Kanu:  A Response to Baseless Accusations and Personal Vendettas by “Ugochinyere David”   “Ugochinyere David”, an obscure writer hiding behind a pseudonym, seeks relevance by attacking Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, a prominent freedom fighter. His article, "Kanu continues a futile attempt at grandstanding," is a biased, sensationalist piece that undermines journalistic integrity. Rather than addressing the complex legal and political issues surrounding Kanu, “David” resorts to ad hominem attacks, sweeping generalizations, and a blatant disregard for factual accuracy. This response dissects the article’s flaws and exposes its personal vendetta against Kanu.   1. Mischaracterization of Kanu’s Struggle “David” claims that Kanu has plunged the South-East into "chaos and backwardness," ignoring the decades-long marginalization and systemic injustice faced by the Igbo people. He conveniently overlooks the terror perpetrated by Ful...

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu ~ “I AGITATE FOR BIAFRA; IT IS MY RIGHT TO AGITATE.”

The Unyielding Struggle of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the Biafran libration             Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s declaration, “I agitate for Biafra; it is my right to agitate,” underscores the universal fight for self-determination—a right enshrined in international law. Yet, his persecution, illegal detention, and Nigeria’s disregard for court rulings and UN directives reveal a troubling erosion of justice. From his extraordinary rendition in 2021 to the indefinite adjournment of his case, Kanu’s plight demands global attention. As the Latin saying goes, "Iniuria uni fit iniuria omnibus"—injustice to one is injustice to all. It’s a call for activists and people of conscience worldwide to rise in solidarity and demand justice.  “I AGITATE FOR BIAFRA; IT IS MY RIGHT TO AGITATE.” In a bold declaration during a recent court appearance, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), asserted, “I agitate for Biafra; it is my right to agitat...

Unity in Diversity: A Facade? The Nigerian Paradox and the Illusion of Amalgamation

  Unity in Diversity: A Facade? The Nigerian Paradox and the Illusion of Amalgamation WARNING ⚠:  Kindly spare 10 -15 minutes of your time, this article is philosophical and shall require more focus and reflection.   Verily, let us embark upon a discourse most profound, a meditation upon the nature of unity and the artifice thereof, as it pertains to the entity known as Nigeria. A land vast and varied, a tapestry woven of many threads—some vibrant, some frayed—yet bound together by the hand of colonial machination. The year of our Lord 1914 marked the birth of this contrived nation, a forced amalgamation orchestrated not by the will of its peoples, but by the decree of foreign overlords. "Ex injuria jus non oritur," saith the Latin maxim: from a wrong, right cannot arise. And yet, here we stand, beholding the edifice of Nigeria, a structure built upon the sands of coercion, its foundation cracked and its walls leaning precariously.   The words of Nigeria’s s...
