Nnamdi Kanu Speaks From Hideout, Says God Ordained Him To Restore Biafra
September 18, 2017 – IPOB Leader Kanu Speaks From Hideout, Says God Ordained Him To Restore Biafra
IPOB Nnamdi Kanu has declared that he will not embark on an exile following threats of his rearrest by the federal government.
Kanu also said that the IPOB is the most vibrant and intelligent mass movement in the world today.
He said the IPOB or himself cannot be intimidated into hiding by the federal government.
Here is a statement released by the group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful on behalf of Kanu:
“Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has made it abundantly clear to all and sundry that he is NOT going on exile as a result of these childish threats from Hausa Fulani dominated Nigeria Government.”
“IPOB family members worldwide under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remain nonviolent, irrespective of the well documented brutal killings of unarmed peaceful demonstrators, abductions, torture, illegal detentions and summary executions of detainees by the Hausa Fulani Islamic run Nigeria Police and Army.”
”IPOB remains impregnable and no man born of a woman can stop the agitation for Biafra restoration. Until the Hausa Fulani Islamic Nigeria Government fix a date for referendum to settle the issue of Biafra in a civilized and democratic manner, this raging agitation led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will continue.
”With the situation on ground today concerning Biafra freedom, we pity the APC Party and Nigerian Government led by Major General Muhammadu Buhari for choosing the uncivilized path of brute force and intimidation as opposed to referendum.
”We urge every Biafran, no matter where you are, to remain resolute and strong because Biafra is tantalizingly closer than we expect. It is crystal clear that IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is ordained by (Chukwu Okike Abiama) God Almighty which no man can stop. We are winning this battle” .
“Major General Muhammadu Buhari and his APC band of thugs should be the ones hiding from IPOB not us from them. It is unfortunate that some people in Arewa North do not know who Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is hence they keep coming up with laughable fabrications designed to demystify our leader, to no avail.
”Mazi Nnamdi Kanu they privately acknowledge, knows no fear and is undeterred by side rantings of the vocal parasitic few, who cannot imagine their existence without crude oil money coming from Biafraland.
”This wicked lie and malicious fabrication is the work of the enemies of Biafra, who enjoy their perfect slave status and will remain servants to Arewa North all their lives”.

Pride, hatred, tribalism, division, and violence are the bedrocks of this tribalist and hate group called IPOB. The only REFERENDUM that is necessary at this point in time is for Kanu to test his popularity among the Igbo in other parts of Nigeria outside the Southeast. Kanu Nnamdi should issue a referendum that all Igbo people living in other parts of Nigeria should sell all their properties and return to their various states in the Southeast within three months. If they obey his call for them to come home, within three months, Biafra nation will be actualized. Enough of the display of shame, ridicule, and pride by the supporters of Biafra nation. In fact, there will be everlasting peace in Nigeria if Biafra is actualized today. Col. Ojukwu Emeka doesn’t have to make all these ridiculous noise before declaring Biafra state, he simply ordered all the Niidigbo living outside the Southeast to come home just before the war, and guess what? They all obeyed him. Nobody is holding the Igbo from actualizing their dream country Biafra, however, it is laughable that the only Nigeran tribe with more than 75% of their population living outside their home-Southeast and scattered all over the nation are the one calling for succession. In fact, if Nigeria is to be divided today, the only nation that will not survive is the so called Biafra because of so many factors like lack of trust, superiority, pride and dominination that is associated with the people. Who in the supposed default Nigeria will merge or align with the almighty Igbo with the most vibrant and most intelligent movement in the entire world? May be Bakassi people in Cameroun. The Niidigbo can have Biafra in one month if they are so serious about their agitation by relocating back to their root from Southwest, Southsouth, Middlebelt, and the entire northern states without firing one bullet. Until that fool called Kanu calls for such referendum, their agitation will be in vain forever and ever because they are not serious about it. Why occupying other regions of Nigeria in great numbers, and still have the gut to agitate for succession? That to me is so dumb, hypocritical,and disrespectful to other Nigerians who have given the Igbo opportunities to live and make a living in their regions. It is also a fact that not all our Igbo brothers and sisters are onboard with this nonsense and stupid hate and tribalism driven agitation because an Hausa Fulani is now Nigerian elected president. To all Biafrans, please leave, and let us live.

Biafran agitators are acting stupidly today in Nigeria like a woman who claimed that she tired of her marriage but refuses to pack her load and vacate her husband’s home? Who is deceiving who? Until Niidigbo are really serious by vacating Southwest, South south, Middlebelt states, and all the Northern states and start moving back to those typical Igboland, they will forever be regarded as a jokers. Please leave other regions of Nigeria, and see if you will not have your Biafra within a month without firing a single bullet. Enough of this nonsense and stupid agitation. The population of Igbo living in the Southwest is about 12 millions compares to may be 50,000 or less of Yoruba living in Igboland. Likewise, their population in the north will be about 8-9 millions compares to about 100,000 or so Hausa living in the Southeast,and whenever I see or hear Biafran Igbo crying for succession, I wonder if those people really know the consequences of their dumb agitation? Stop your social media noise, and take the right action by going back to your root or home-Southeast region where you belong and begin to form your Biafra nation. Enough of your meaningless noise and dumb agitation for nothing. Please leave and let live.

Totally correct! It even bcoms more annoying when they claim that their host regions are marginalising them! They want to be comissioners, governors, deputies, senators in their host regions. i keep asking them how much opportunities they have presented non biafrans in their region. I really hope and pray this mule will not make other regions to rise against them suddenly. My the Rwandan issue never happen in Nigeria!

There is no doubt that this long misrule in Nigeria has affected many Nigerians and have made them loose sense of reasoning or judgement…. but one thing is for sure in this planet,when you support evil,that evil must surely befall on you one day.
Nigeria government will keep on making mistake in handling this Biafra matter championed by Nnamdi Kanu until Biafra become free faster than expected. Nnamdi Kanu is a human being and can never be 100% correct in everything concerning this struggle, but he is genuine and being guided by divine power. People always take his statement literally, but it’s more than that…. He said Nigeria will burn if any attempt to rearrest him…and trust me, Nigeria is burning already, there is more confusion in the higher places than before….the SE governors and self acclaimed elites are afraid and in confusion.
And to buttress my point, why did Nigeria government used Military to invade his home in a democratic set of government? what happened to our police? why didn’t they wait until he appear in court?..,If anyone can answer all the questions correctly and still believe Nigeria is not burning or confuse,then,you need to re examine yourself.

Mon…it is truly sad that well enlightened ones found themselves in this bedarkend and artificially fused together regions named Nigeria. It is so shameful and saddening to witness the rate at which the mind of people have been influenced, twisted and infected by the imperious regime to believe that the heavy-handed approach by the military is the justified way to quell those peacefully calling for autonomy. People need to be taking back to the class and be inculcated with some history, that people that are armless and unarmed fighting for freedom which is mostly borne out of misrule, inequality, political and economic marginalisation cannot be tagged a terrorist organisation. IPOB is an abbreviation which full meaning is ( Indigenous People Of Biafra ). Therefore, if you label IPOB a terrorist organisation, you are automatically labeling the indigenous people of Biafra land a terrorist organisation. And those living in the southeast are not an organisation but are indigenous ethnic group dwelling in there land, so why referring to them as terrorist? There are people who fought for freedom all over the world and they have never been tagged a terrorist. That can only happen in a backward and unprogressive country called Nigeria. Certain region in Iraq named Kurdistan last week voted in a referendum that saw an overwhelming majority supported the secession from Iraq, because they’ve been regularly sideline in terms of oil revenue been generated from there region into federal government’s pulse, a thing that infuriated Baghdad but they never went after the leader of the movement. Then why should Nigeria be any different? From all perspective, the agitation from IPOB is justified because Nigeria had been hijacked by some few bastards whom after every 4 years of electoral malpractice and fraud would come into power and take turn in looting our common wealth while neglecting more than half of Nigerian population living in a very dire and pitiful condition. So those showing great contempt and hostility toward Nnamdi Kanu’s just course are people who have either lost touch with reality on ground in the country or are greatly benefiting and are part of corrupt Nigerian Government. But time is going to tell where the country will head.

Endurance, I doubt whether you read Omokehinde’s comments above that your Igbo people need not agitate through the comedian Nnamdi Kanu’s senseless actions. Your people the Igbos have a volumtary options to relocate from other regions to your Biafran enclave, until that happens then Nigerian of goodwill living in their zones where you are occupying will take your struggle seriously. Pls. Go and read the thought provoking commetary by Omokehinde and get back here.

Both you and Omokehinde are not simply making any vital point that is worthy of attention. Ojukwu during his era requested that the Igbo living in other region of the country come back to there territory in the southeast because he had planned to engage the Nigerian army in military combat in order to actualise the sovereign state of Biafra. Modern day Biafran agitators led by Nnamdi kanu has repeatedly declared publicly that there agitation is one that is solely based on peace and without any intention of violent. And more so, the Nigerian government has refused to heed the call to grant the Indigenous People of Biafra there request for a referendum, so why should any reasonable person demand that Nnamdi Kanu should call the Igbos living in other part of the country to come back to there territory? To come and do what,when the government has not given a green light for this people to hold a peaceful referendum. Coming back to there region at this time sound very silly, stupid and is counterproductive. No reasonable igbo will heed such call even if its coming from Nnamdi Kanu himself. The truth is that the Igbos across the country are all waiting for the Nigerian Government to give a go ahead for a referendum to be held before they will start relocating and coming out in mass to joyfully cast there ballot to leave this corrupt country. That was what happened in Sudan. The government of North Sudan sponsored the referendum that eventually saw the departure of the south Sudan under the very watch of the United Nation and African Union. So @BABATUNDE has your government approved the referendum? Have they requested the world government to come and provide help and monitor how the referendum vote will be held? So you guys should stop making meaningless point,ok?

When soldiers arrived into your community, pillage and ransacked your dwelling place, shooting sporadically and indiscriminately killing scores of unarmed residents and injuring tens of others, visibly pushed to the wall in an unprovoked attack, what will you do as an individual? A means to retaliate is what you will be bent on looking for because you’ve been unjustly descended upon. Your families are been killed and been forced to roll in the mud and short. If you have not seen the viral video of how IPOB youths are been killed by Nigerian army, I will urge you to search for it on youtube. But what they failed to understand is that, we humans under both national and international law are all entitled to sel-defence when under unprovoked attack. Nigerian government want history to repeat itself as a result of there recklessness in terms forcing formerly peaceful people to peak up arms. They did that with Muhammed Yusuf the leader of BOKO HARAM in 2009 when he was brutally murdered just because his ideology is not in conformity with that of Nigerian Government. But unfortunately BOKO HARAM is now a monster, a bone in the neck of our government that is difficult to do away with. As we speak at the moment, there is a news that hausas in kaduna are now on the rampage burning, looting and destroying the properties of the south easterners and south southerners causing many to flee to Army barracks situated in there region for protection. But surprisingly, you will hardly see the news report on the media. Army that started the extrajudicial killings of unarmed civilians and the unrest have never been reported, but police station’s destruction have been on a public display. What a propaganda meant to deceive the public.

Many of us would appreciate it if an IPOB representative/sympathiser could explain what the Jonathan government did or gave the Igbos that did not make them feel the need to agitate for Biafra then?

in nutshell, we don’t need to leave in fool’s paradise, don’t need to be so dumb at this period. we are created to be highly intelligent and such, any move or plan should be well reviewed before embarking on. pls let forget agitation or no agitation and get down to business, and let allow God to play his roles in our lives..Kanu, pls remain hiding and let there be peace and harmony.

It pays not to begin a race that might have a disastrous end, going by all my fellow meaningful Nigerian brothers have expressed; Can a reasonable supporter of the IPOB agitation kindly publish their Plans and objectives whenever the dream of Biafra is achieved. It’s quite fun to raise few hungry guys and feed them with all what the need within 24 hours and they get 100% satisfaction forgetting what is there for their immediate families both within and outside of the IPOB proposed domain. In any case some of us feels it is going to be a mere child’s play; kindly walk up to internet and download “Sometimes in April” or “Hotel Rwanda” watch and digest before you think all that is said to be a peaceful agitation from IPOB really appears to be so, why can’t we just continue to leave as One Nigeria. If anyone calls for Unity, he or she is only doing so out of Love and not spite. So also i can categorically confirm to my dear friends reading my write up places like Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja and the rest of them will wonderfully survive and have reserves if IPOB is actualized to the fullest, how? If many of the agitators have visited any of the aforementioned areas during festive periods you aspire to remain there just as it is; Life can be less challenging during this period of festival while the proposed IPOB states continues to get packed with the real indigenes of those areas waiting and counting down to when they will gladly return to their homes (Lagos e.t.c.) not to talk of how they might have escaped being dealt with by some of their relatives that might not be happy with their achievements while in Lagos and its environs. Few words i guess is enough for the wise to remain dwelling in life of wisdom.
