MAZI NNAMDI KANU A MAN WITH A MISSION

The leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Director of the most finest and listened Radio Biafra London worldwide is a great lion from the east. A man with a lion heart and with a mission to emancipate the black continent from imperialist eating up and looting the indigenous people dry. The man Nnamdi Kanu comes in a century. A liberator and motivator of many. A mentor, teacher and lot more. Analysing the man Kanu will take 100 pages to cover. 

However, Nnamdi Kanu's agitation is for justice and equity. He has never encouraged any mortal to dehumanize or oppress another. All he has been preaching (propagating) via Radio Biafra in London till date is justice and freedom for oppressed people. Only a wicked and heartless fellow do not love justice and freedom. We love him because we love justice and freedom. We must emancipate ourselves from mental slavery.

Nnamdi is consistent and sincere with the agitation for Biafra Nation. All through the journey of my life; I have never seen a Nigerian that has gone through what he (Kanu) has been through that did not compromise his belief. Just give most Nigerians 5 thousand naira, they will sell their generation for just peanut given by the oppressor. He had every opportunity and offer to abandon the struggle while he was incarcerated. But he stood on his course because he in on a divine mission to liberate his people from the hands of the Fulani oligarchy. Such a man can only be loved by the upright. Only an evil fellow will hate such a man. Yes, we welcome constructive criticism but everything has a limit.

Nnamdi Kanu is well exposed, enlightened, informed, intelligent and factual in the bid to liberate us from our oppressors. It is not enough to wear coat and parade as a useless intellectual when one is indeed empty. Most of those that are speaking grammar and attacking (criticizing) him are myopic, ignorant, empty and ungrateful fellows.

Just because they could speak some good English, they mistake it to be intellectualism. If Nigeria is a sane clime, the likes of Nnamdi Kanu should be the president of the country but that can't happen because the system was programmed that way. Listen to all his interviews and you will see his top-notch brain.

So, you can see why we the Indigenous people hold him at such high esteem and we so passionately defend him everywhere.

However, in one of his speech below has it " "The main reason why I do what I do is because I am fuelled by the hate of our enemies, any day I wake up and I do not see them talking ill and their hateful nature against IPOB I get disturbed, I want them to know this, I am Nnamdi Kanu, I do not stop and I do not relent until I get what I want" - Nnamdi Kanu (2nd Speech 28th October 2018).

However, Umeh Chummy has this to say " I don't know of anyone who has implemented Passive aggression so masterfully like Nnamdi Kanu. In fact, I don't think there would've been any Kanu without this strategy.

He understands Buhari's ego, arrogance, high handedness and military reflexes. This made his regime very predictable hence Kanu has been setting agenda for this government since it came in and he is about to collapse the government without firing a shot.

Immediately after 2015 elections, Nnamdi Kanu doubled down on his rhetoric against Buhari. In line with his expectation, immediately after inauguration The President mandated relevant agencies to jam the signal of Radio Biafra. Kanu managed to keep Radio Biafra on the airwaves. This gave him the publicity he required as his name graced the front pages of almost all the tabloids in Nigeria.

In his bid to create a kind of cult following he has today in the East he decided to dramatize all he has been saying in London- Buhari's suffocating hatred for Ndigbo and his willingness to sacrifice anything for Biafra, he announced his coming down to Nigeria. Expectedly, when Kanu came in the government arrested him and tried to quell the protest that ensued with brute force, this brought the Biafra agitation to the front burner on the international scale.

He knows that courage is not only contagious but also seductive, so he maintained a defiant outlook and made sure he uttered words that suggested he is not backing down every day he came to court. His followership swelled and became fanatical.

After he was granted bail, he knew it was time to show the world that he is not a secessionist but a leader of a self-determination movement so he organized rallies.

 The rallies were attended by sea of people and foreign journalists were there to record that. The government became a bit cautious and allowed the rallies to hold but at some point, that was frustrating Kanu. Yes, the people want Biafra, but why do they want it? What are they running away from? Why will the world see the Biafra Referendum as an urgent need?

He knows that you can keep agitating for a UN supervised Referendum without getting it unless the world considers that as a way to protect an endangered people and save them from oppression and intimidation. Hence, he needed to dramatize to the world perils of being Igbo in Nigeria and prove to them how crude and mindless Nigerian leaders and army can be on Igbos and expose a gang up against Ndigbo.

He doubled down heavily on Buhari. 'the person they brought back from London is not Buhari, he is one Jubrin from Sudan ' he said. The world understands that propaganda is part of every struggle so it doesn't matter what you say but what you do. He needed to trigger Buhari's military reflexes, Biafra security service (BSS) was formed and he dared Buhari to arrest him.

Nnamdi Kanu (A man with a divine mission) knows that once the President is angry he acts before thinking. At this point President Buhari committed the biggest blunder of his life in government, he rolled out the tanks on a people who were just holding Biafran flags, talking and throwing their fists in the air. At the risk of their lives Kanu and IPOB made sure that this military invasion was well recorded and documented.

In a haste to cover their mistakes the government went ahead to label the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) a terrorist organization. This portrayed Nigerian government as dangerously unserious and diplomatically stupid. Labelling IPOB registered in the US and UK a terrorist group is tantamount to accusing those countries of harbouring domestic terrorist cells- that's the interpretation in diplomatic circles. These blunders sealed the deal for Biafrans, Referendum is no longer a matter of if but when.

Do you still wonder why Obasanjo, a man that dismissed Kanu and IPOB as a group of hungry boys looking for money from government a year ago is now advising Buhari to dialogue with Kanu?

Do you still wonder why the Army that declared IPOB a terrorist organization came out to deny that after 2 days? Do you still wonder why Buhari, a no-nonsense President hurriedly arranged Northern governors to head to the East for peace talks?

Do you still wonder why the quiet GEJ suddenly came out to tell the President to seek advice from ex-presidents on how to handle the Biafran agitation? Kanu has boxed the government to a corner, the international pressure has reached a crescendo and some people do not want to answer for genocide at Hague." That's a man with a divine mission to liberate the oppressed people.

The Nigerian state will be in a state of confusion until the freedom of Biafra is restored. We don't intend to stop until we achieve our goal. Biafra is inevitable because we have a man with a mission.
