The Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu has stated that of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB are not as bad as terrorists or bandits in the North, POLITICS NIGERIA has learned.

Ikpeazu, while fielding questions during a recent interview with Vanguard, disclosed that the Federal Government should negotiate with the group. It can be recalled that the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu is currently in the custody of the Department of State Security, DSS after being re-arrested earlier this year.

He said; "We must engage with IPOB. Yes, we must find a way to talk about the issues at stake. These people are not as bad as the ones in the Northeast or northwest who go to schools and seize the whole population of teachers and students or invade the mosques and churches and kidnap all the worshippers and nobody can find them until ransom is paid."

"I believe that there is some ideological sense in what these people in the Southeast are saying. There is something to listen to even though it is criminal to take up arms against the state. There is a message they are trying to in the process. We need confidence building among ourselves rather than use words that we should not use even as leaders. Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gunpowder but the solution is not too difficult to find."

"I regard Nnamdi Kanu as my citizen but not as leader of IPoB because I am the governor. I am prepared to engage to resolve the issue."

"I care about his welfare and I care that he should be tried in a just and fair way. I am happy that they want to bring justice to bear by looking at the allegations against him and trying him fair and square but I would not want him to be treated as if he was a convict when he has not been convicted. Not until otherwise, he is still my citizen and as his father it behoves on us to care for him after all the prodigal son had a father."

We are getting there. Who on earth compares evil to evil with the aim of rationalizing it.

I think I have cracked the code to our conundrum as a nation: we dont deserve the geographical space or time we exist in, and for all the gift of intellect God has bestowed on man we chose to be irresponsible. Thus, a poetic antithesis to that irresponsibility is that we are the cause of our own destruction. Unfortunately the few rational ones in the country will go also as an avoidable collateral because they chose to keep mum and watch the ignorant ones steer their affairs

This statement is the only good thing that has come out of Okezie Ikpeazu since he became governor.


Meanwhile, DSS and Army actions are provocative. Why is Gumi and Miyetti Allah president still walking free?

The only way to survive the nonsense of Nigeria is not to think about it.

Because you may go insane

According to this maths, the lesser of two evils is good. Buhar! Has done things to Nigeria walahi

Igbo Governors defend your people even if it means you "loosing your neck"

In Ojukwu, Achebe, and Ekwueme - The guts of Igbo leaders died.

Isn't it rather shocking that the Intelligence Network of Nigeria's security could stretch it's hands to faraway UK to get Nnamdi Kanu but have not been able to pick the Bandits whose locations IN NIGERIA ARE WELL KNOWN by Gumi, DSS, ARMY and Police.

Even as BANDITS are freely operating and taking hostages all over OGUN and OYO STATE there are some Yorubas, men born of ten fathers who are rejoicing over Kanu's arrest.

Those Yorubas like are even very anxious to see Igboho arrested too.

If you take a quick count today you will notice that all over Facebook and Twitter, HAUSA-FULANI are the ones most excited about Kanu's arrest as though he was the one that has been bombing, maiming, killing and Kidnapping their kith and kins in the last 10years all over the North.

I bet this covert operation was executed by an ALL-FULANI SQUAD.

AGF ABUBAKAR Malami [ Not Lying Mohammed this time ] will do the exciting job of announcing.

SHUAIB LABARAN one of his brothers will do the prosecuting in the Court.

And it will happen in the court room of BINTA NYAKO.

When he appeals, the case will be handled by another FULANI man and eventually it will get to the Aeroplane driver's court.

There are even Igbos like that Dr. Ugo Egbujo on facebook who is just too excited about the whole show, he has a majority of followers who are Hausa-Fulanis clapping for him and he is happy.

I am not too much of a fan of Nnamdi Kanu but inasmuch as he has very legitimate grievances, things bothering on INJUSTICES OF BY NIGERIAN STATE.

I will never accept a situation that victimizes him in the same country where of BOKO HARAM are getting amnesty and recruitments into the Nigerian Army, same country where Shiek Gumi is asking us to brand FULANI BANDITS as freedom fighters.

Reality setting in for SE govs. They can now see that buhari's fulani terrorist regime is nothing but a BLOODY bokoharam/fulani terrorist regime. That the govt is yet to declare miyeti Allah, and so called bandits Terrorist even after committing mass atrocities and crimes against humanity is enough to convince sane minds across the world that buhari's regime is sympathetic to fulani terrorist and are behind their activities for the purpose of grazing route (fulanization of Nigeria). And some people expect us to remain in the same country with these northern mass murderers? God forbid!!!!!!
Division of Nigeria is a must.








TOTAL DISINTEGRATION OF NIGERIA WILL SAVE MILLIONS OF MIDDLE BELT AND SOUTHERN LIVES FROM FULANI AND BOKOHARAM TERRORISM!
