Nnamdi Kanu must die in detention to save Nigeria from splitting...

In a unanimous judgment on Wednesday, May 25, a three-man panel of justices of the appellate court led by Justice Abdul Aboki, affirmed the decision of the Federal High Court to deny Kanu’s bail application.

Nnamdi Kanu is facing treason charges, alongside two others, Benjamin Madubgwu and James Nwawuisi. The IPOB leader was denied bail by the Appeal Court of Nigeria Nigerians and pro-Biafrans took to socio media to share their support and displeasure over the decision. Below are some Nigerians’s thoughts on the controversial issue which threatens to destabilize the nation.

Debekeme Egberi said: “I don’t expect any Nigeria court to rule in Favour of Biafra, beside Buhari even stated it clear lythat he will not allow court to release Kanu! But you know what? Buhari is killing sinking Nigeria gradually but some Nigerians are blind to see the future, any Buhari’s move is in the Favour of Biafra, Nelson Mandela went to prison came out with victory and shame his enemies, and today where are the Nelson Mandela enemies? Martin Luther King went and came out victorious, all freedom fighters always come out with victory it will only take time, and then shame will be for Nigeria! And beside this Guy Nnamdi Kanu is a pure prophet which even the Nigerians have seen the prove and evidence but out of shame they’ve all blocked their eyes and ears.”

– IPOB Kelechi Amukamara was of the opinion that Nnamdi has finished Buhari’s government with his wisdom, “even if he dies today, Nigeria won’t recover from the mess Nnamdi Kanu put them in 10 yrs,” Kelechi noted. In Simon Nwokeogu’s opinion, Nnamdi could never have been granted bail by the Appeal Court, “When Buhari had already decided to deal with him? Nnamdi can’ t get justice in Nigeria, this is obvious,” Simon opined.

“Can someone tell me what this young man has done? Is it that he is fighting for his right? Nigeria is an agreement of many Nations, and if one feels that he no more comfortable with the treatment or the way things are going, he has the right to opt out.

“It is an ignorant thing to think that kanu is fighting against the Nigerian state, it is not by force a marriage is conducted, for those whom this marriage favours will not want it to end, but remember that evil can triumph just for a while, it doesn’t last forever.

“Nnamdi Kanu’s war is a war without an end, what he is fighting for is a spiritual movement that cannot be fought in the physical, it seems that our constitution have been suspended because the present government does not obey court order again.

“The country is being ruled with coercion, for how long shall we be seating like this?,” queried Jah Son. On the other hand, Raphael Mohammed said: “The war we are fighting is social media war as a matter of fact Biafra agitation is dead for long.

If u ask a typical Igbo man that have tangible investments about this agitation, 99.9% of them will tell you Na’a Mbanu we are not ceding from Nigeria.” Lending his voice to Raphael’s voice, Annur Umar Sadiq said: “On behalf of good people of Nigeria, we are here to sacrifice the life of Nnamdi Kanu to Remain in Prison till death, For the benefit of over 170m Nigerians to live in peace. Bello Garba did not hide his delight.

“Am in support of the appeal court, Nnamdi Kanu is a nuisance, a traitor that wants to destroy his father land with a false movement of creating Biafra that all saint and responsible people amongst them are not in support. His major crime is breach of trust to his country, he should be given life imprisonment as for me,” Bello stressed.

Muhammad M Adam asked Nigerians to stop deceiving themselves. He said: “You guys should stop deceiving yourselves, kanu is dying in prison. Nigeria is one and we cannot afford to divide our country over one minor ethnic and parasite group. what Kanu did is a treasonable felony which attracts death penalty according to the law!”

MD Martins said: “Let Kanu Nnamdi receive good zoo treatment, when he came to USA, the real Igbos in USA advised him not to go on what he cannot end….well let the movie continue…..I know some gullible lazy Igbos ones will raise abusive word on me…I am expecting it…because we will charges Kanu Nnamdi to court for the death of the innocent Igbos one in protect in Southeast….we are still washing…

” Meanwhile, just as photographs of a Biafran representative spotted at a United Nations conference in the United States made their way into the media, the embattled Nnamdi Kanu, has insinuated that the Biafran territory is recognised in 30 countries of the world.

It is believed that such international recognition is necessary for the independence of the area currently located in the south-eastern part of Nigeria even though IPOB believes the region being sought for also covers the south-southern part of the country.

Kanu, according to Breaking Times, is asking the Community Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to force the Nigerian government to pay him $800 million as compensation for the gross violation of his human rights. Kanu had been in detention since October 14, 2015 and all efforts to get him to enjoy bail have been rebuffed by the government.
