Most people who ask, “What did Kanu do?” are not confused , they’re disingenuous.
And those who claim IPOB/ESN was “infiltrated by bad eggs” are actually making their willful folly worse without even realizing it.
How can you talk about infiltration in an organization where the man openly declared himself the supreme leader, the one in full command and control, whose words were treated as decrees?
At no time did Kanu claim his group was infiltrated.
Instead, he repeatedly insisted he was firmly in charge and no one dared disobey him.
That alone is telling.
He issued directives; they executed them.
He endorsed the outcomes; he glorified the actors , called them angels when they call in to report.
Then when we reference those exact actions and receipts, you suddenly start your stewpidity about “bad eggs.”
Let sense hijack your brains IJN.
IPOB was proscribed in 2017.
Soon after, he formed ESN and armed them.
Between then and his rearrest in 2021, he issued the very orders that were carried out with military obedience by the ESN 's UGM he praised as “angels,” who later rebranded to Umu Chineke and eventually Umu Oma Kanu.
So when, exactly, did these imaginary bad eggs enter?
Before or after they were already following his instructions with total loyalty?
And let’s not act like the timeline is blurry.
The first threat of brvtal enforcement of sit‑at‑home orders came in 2020 ahead of the May 31 Biafra Remembrance.
That viral video , where he boldly commands kpai on sight for anyone who dared disobey him , is still there for those suffering from convenient, selective amnesia. Nobody forced you to forget.
The sit‑at‑homes that became rampant after his incarceration in 2021 weren’t some spontaneous grassroots loyalty offering.
They were part of an already existing blueprint.
A system of coercion, vi0lence, fear, and unquestioned obedience. A pattern that didn’t start in 2021 , it merely continued.
So when you come online to deny, deflect, or manufacture fairy tales about infiltration, abeg , fear God small.

Political view
I don’t need you to “believe” anything because of my posts. Believe, reject, twist, deny, it is your prerogative.
Facts do not require your affirmation. The truth does not depend on your approval.
The only question that actually matters is painfully simple:
Did IPOB/ESN destroy Ala Igbo or not?
Where thousands of Igbo people were killed, or not?
Were Orsu, Lilu, Achala, Okigwe, Orlu, Umuaka, Arondizuogu, Ideato North, Mbaitolu and so many other communities terr0rized, emptied out, and forced into fear, or not?
Did sit-at-home cripple businesses, schools, families, and livelihoods or not?
Were people fl0gged, sh0t, burned, and threatened for “disobeying”, or not?
These things happened in broad daylight.
They were recorded.
They were narrated.
They were lived.
Yet somehow you need my intent before you can process what you saw with your own eyes and heard with your own ears. Iyasikwa.
If you need to analyze my "intent" before you can acknowledge a crisis that shook your own hometown, then you clearly need a designated adult with a functioning brain to do the thinking for you.
Sit-at-home didn’t happen in your village?
Or the videos of people being punished/kil*led for going out somehow didn’t circulate until I posted them?
Or maybe the destroyed communities only become real when it’s someone you like speaking about them?
You need me to es**rt you to those villages?
Are the burned houses underground?
Are the dead invisible?
Your belief does not matter.
Your denial does not matter.
Your emotional comfort does not matter.
The truth stands.
The truth happened.
And the truth is indifferent to your feelings.
But since you people suddenly discovered “intent” as a shield, let’s talk about intent properly:
Does highlighting the destruction in Ala Igbo, the same Ala Igbo I come from, suddenly require a different standard ?
Does the suffering of our communities not deserve objective truth, regardless of who is speaking it?
Where was this same focus when IPOB was issuing vi0lent orders from radio stations?
Did you ask for their intent before you obeyed sit-at-home?
Did you ask for the intent of the people declaring fear every Monday?
Did you ask for the intent of the people circulating threats and propaganda?
Did you investigate their motives before you reshared their broadcasts?
No, you did not.
You swallowed every broadcast, every fabricated story, every instruction without a second thought.
Nobody demanded intent.
Nobody questioned motives.
Nobody said, “We need to verify before we accept this.”
But now that people are stating the truth plainly, a truth that exposes the destruction, the chaos, the manipulation, suddenly you turn into an investigator, a philosopher, a gatekeeper of “intent.”
You listened to strangers on social media with anonymous profiles.
You followed orders from people you’ve never met.
You funded movements you didn’t investigate.
You supported narratives you never verified.
Intent didn’t matter then.
But suddenly it matters now because the truth burns.
The broadcasts were real.
The killings were real.
The sit-at-home terror was real.
The communities are still broken.
None of that stops being true because you are uncomfortable.
None of it disappears because you dislike how i say it.
None of it rewrites itself because you are afraid to face what you cheered in or ignored.
Your belief is irrelevant.
Your denial is irrelevant.
Your “intent investigation” is irrelevant.
Aru mere.
It left scars.
It left graves.
It left trauma.
And all your deflection shows is that you are more committed to protecting your pride than confronting the the truth.

This is speaking sense to the senseless
On this app some of us tried to talk sense into Nnamdi Kanu followers, we tried to tell them that using force on the Igbo people will backfire.
We tried to tell them that destroying Alaigbo will backfire.
We tried to tell them that Nnamdi Kanu was beginning to derail by threatening to harm the Igbo people he is meant to protect.
We tried to make them see that his strategy will backfire and won't get Ndị Igbo that Biafra.
Yes on the part of RUGA, I will give credit to Nnamdi Kanu. He is the reason why Buhari couldn't force RUGA on Alaigbo.
During the EndSars protest, I was hoping and praying that Nnamdi Kanu doesn't say a single word about it, unfortunately he did. The moment he did, the whole narrative changed. An EndSars that began in Ugheli and spread to Edo and then Lagos was the last, suddenly was termed that Nnamdi Kanu inspired it to burn Lagos, all because he didn't know he should have kept quiet.
His supporters *gassed* him to this life imprisonment. They cheered everything he say or does.
They made him a "supreme being" without mistakes.
They threatened those of us who were speaking out about a lot of his mistakes. They called us Fulani born, they threatened to unalive us. They made us enemies of the Igbo. Some even asked me to drop address so they can come and kpai me. I gladly did.
When he was in court, his supporters were abusing everyone of us that were speaking out concerning his mistakes that is ravaging Igbo land, like the sit-at-home enforcement by the ESN and by Simon Ekpa. They asked us to go to court and provide evidence, they said there's no evidence that Nnamdi Kanu threatened people. They said there's no case against him. They swore that every evidence the government have is fake or doctored. They kept dropping all manners of fake news and doctored reports.
Then they began to blame us for not supporting Nnamdi Kanu.
Like how? You called us all manners of names because we pointed out the mistakes he made at the time, now you act like because we didn't support him, that it's the reason he is convicted.
Nnamdi Kanu's boys went too extreme, Nnamdi Kanu himself went too extreme. There are better ways to advocate for secession.
One of them is Nnamdi Kanu becoming a governor. He would have won a 100 percent, then he would align his ideology with our Igbo leaders and do it the proper way. He has the influence if he had contested for governorship.
But he chose to insult Zik, Ojukwu, and other prominent Igbo heros, or threaten anyone who doesn't buy his ideas. His boys will finish the job on the so called "sabo".
Now that the deed is done. Igbo people can relax for now and strategize on how to defend our land from herdsmen and banditry which seems to be looming.
Advice to another leader that might spring up is, "don't tow the line of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa, don't kill your own people because of your ideology". Everyone must not buy or key into your ideas. Not everyone bought into the ideas of Jesus when he was on earth, and he didn't force people or kill anyone because of it.
Just do your thing and if it's right, the right people will support you.
To those of us that are sad about his sentence, yes I can understand. I may have felt the same way too simply because I'm an Igbo, but we need sanity in Alaigbo. If the Northerners want to keep protecting those that destroy their lands by reintegrating them into their society, that is their business. We in Igbo land want to live in peace and do our business.
There are better ways to go for secession. Catalonia is on it and we don't hear them destroying places and killing people.
Chukwu gozie ndị Igbo. 🙏🏽
I do not entirely disagree with the people who said Nnamdi Kanu was not just on trial, it was the whole of Ndi Igbo that was on trial. I agree to a good extent with their claim.
The trial truly exposed how hollow, noisy, arrogant, emotional and less strategic many of us are as a people.
All the mistakes that were made from 1966-1970 in our cultural evolution as Ndi Igbo, we saw these mistakes repeat themselves before our very eyes. It shows as a people we have not learnt any lesson from our default pattern of blaming outsiders for our misfortunes.
Tell me, how could you turn up to a law court that is a laboratory for facts;
1. You refuse to comport yourself?
2. You sack your experienced lawyers and surrounded yourself with Oh yes barristers?
3. You resort to barks and propaganda instead of technicality of the law?
4. You turn your backs on Igbo elites and insult them at your pleasure?
5. You delude yourself that you are special, therefore, due process is beneath you?
You see, these traits displayed above by Nnamdi, they were done in 1966-67.
Nnamdi Kanu trial, truly is a reflection of an average Igbo; noisy, braggadocios, lack of respect for due process, total disregard for experience and an overriding delusion of being special.
I am writing this for us as Onye Igbo to realise we are in many cases the architect of our own misfortunes.
We can make noise and look for outsiders to blame, but some day, we must face the reality of the fact that emotions will never ever triumph over logic and tact.
Biafra, IPOB, Kanu's defence- if there was one- are all driven by emotions. No tact! No consistent logic! No well mapped strategy.
To rebuild and reposition ourselves as Ndi Igbo, we must stop building our hopes, our businesses, our identity, our politics on emotions and noises.
Kanu's fall should serve as a lesson to any Onye Igbo who is wise and passionate about Ndi Igbo. There is a great work to be done to our outlook to life as a people.
Olu di! Nnukwu olu di!

On the same matter
*EXCLUSIVE: NNPC CEO’s fate hangs in the balance over deals with Atiku’s son-in-law*
The days of Bashir Bayo Ojulari as the group CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited are numbered, TheCable has been informed.
Although there are reports that he has resigned, TheCable learnt from insiders that he has not thrown in the towel yet, “but only a miracle will keep him in office at this stage”.
President Bola Tinubu, who appointed him to replace Mele Kyari only four months ago, is said to be “livid” over security reports on Ojulari’s activities so far in office.
The NNPC GCEO has been a subject of money laundering investigations following the alleged transfer of millions of dollars to the account of AA&R Investment Group, a company with interests in energy, agribusiness, logistics, and information communication technology.
Abdullahi Bashir-Haske, the founder and group managing director of AA&R, is married to the daughter of Atiku Abubakar, the former vice-president.
Atiku is a presidential hopeful on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and is likely to come up against Tinubu in 2027.
*THE BARU LINK*
Bashir-Haske, Atiku’s son-in-law, reportedly enjoyed regular NNPC patronage when Maikanti Baru was the chief executive from 2016 to 2019.
Baru died in 2020 during the COVID pandemic.
Kyari, who was the group general manager of the crude oil marketing division of the national oil company, succeeded Baru.
When he took over the reins, Kyari was reportedly unhappy with Bashir-Haske and subsequently cut him off from NNPC patronage.
Bashir-Haske, however, continued to do business with Ojulari, who was operating in the oil sector in various capacities, notably as MD of Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo) and later as founder/chairman of BAT Advisory & Energy Company Nigeria Ltd.
BAT Advisory & Energy advised Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited in its $2 billion takeover of Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (SPDC).
‘ *SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY’*
Following his appointment as NNPC GCEO in April, Ojulari restored all the privileges Bashir-Haske had been denied by Kyari.
Some of the transactions between NNPC and Bashir-Haske were flagged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), sources told TheCable.
The anti-graft body has questioned Bashir-Haske, accusing him of orchestrating “large-scale money laundering through sophisticated financial structures”.
There are now allegations that NNPC was, perhaps inadvertently, funding the opposition through him.
“The president is livid with rage. He sees this as a stab in the back,” insiders told TheCable.
“A form of soft landing will be provided for Ojulari to exit, as removing him now seems to be too early in the day.
“What Ojulari has been doing amounts to sleeping with the enemy.”
African leaders must work towards liberating the continent from the shackles of underdevelopment as the west moves closer to shutting their borders against the whole continent our leaders cannot continue to take our stolen wealth to the very west that sees us as good for nothing.The UK fought to liberate Europe frome the N***s our fore fathers from Africa fought with their life to help them liberate Europe yet as of today it's the grandchildren of the N***s that are warmly welcome with passports and not the African children that their forefathers help to liberate Europe and lost their lives,what an irony
