Release Kanu Now For Nigeria's Economic Stability

Release Kanu Now For Nigeria’s Economic Stability

May 27, 2024 12:04 am

The prolonged detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), continues to hinder Nigeria’s economic development, particularly in the southeastern region. The “sit-at-home” protests, instigated as a form of civil disobedience demanding Kanu’s release, have escalated into regular, enforced shutdowns that disrupt economic activities, leading to significant financial losses and broader economic instability. The Nigerian government must recognize that resolving this political impasse is not just a matter of justice but also a critical step towards safeguarding the nation’s economic future.

Release Nnamdi Kanu Now: A Must For Tinubu’s Administration

October 9, 2023 3:26 am

Amid the dazzling interplay of Nigeria’s political dynamics, Nnamdi Kanu stands out as an arresting silhouette. Polarising yet pivotal, the narrative surrounding his incarceration resonates not only within Nigeria’s shores but also reverberates internationally. He’s not merely a figure; he embodies the aspirations and frustrations of the southeast, a region that has, for long, sought a louder voice on Nigeria’s national stage. As the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Kanu champions the cause of those who feel side-lined and underrepresented.

Nnamdi Kanu has persistently grabbed headlines, but as of now, he is on the precipice of what …

Nnamdi Kanu's Detention: Emblem Of Injustice in Nigeria

Nnamdi Kanu’s Detention: Emblem Of Injustice in Nigeria

July 27, 2023 4:52 am

Underneath the escalating sociopolitical tensions in Nigeria lies a case that, quite starkly, encapsulates the prevailing disregard for constitutional rights, democratic principles, and international obligations: the ongoing detention of Nnamdi Kanu. An outspoken advocate for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Kanu’s incarceration illuminates a disconcerting narrative of systemic injustices, legal contradictions, and ethnopolitical disparities in the country. The protracted and contentious nature of his detention has escalated beyond the confines of a single case, morphing into a disturbing emblem of an endemic disregard for the rule of law in Nigeria.

Kanu's Unjust Incarceration, And The Shame Upon Nigeria

Kanu’s Unjust Incarceration, And The Shame Upon Nigeria

May 25, 2023 12:14 am

For two years, the federal government of Nigeria has continued to persecute, dehumanise, humiliate, and subjugate citizen Nnamdi Kanu whose only crime was a blunt retaliation against the injustice being perpetrated by the Nigerian system against indigenous people.

In 2017, the Nigerian state designated his group – the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) – as a terrorist organisation. This was the same government that always looked the other way when marauding Fulani herdsmen wreaked havoc on innocent villagers. They were neither blacklisted nor designated terrorists by the Nigerian government rather they were pampered and treated with so much respect as …

Why FGN Must Release Kanu Unconditionally Before May 29

It is now barely a few days before President Muhammdau Buhari’s maladministration finally gets to shamefully bow out of office. While Buhari himself now struggles to comprehend the powerful stings of the ephemerality of power and the transient nature of power becomes his daily reality, he could still be reminded one more time that perhaps they are a few actions that he could take to reduce the moral burden he will face post the 29th of May and one of them is ensuring the release of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

Why Nigerian Government Must Free And Apologise To Kanu

April 24, 2023 4:37 am

In the last days of the President Muhammadu Buhari maladministration, it has opened its window of apologies and has been dishing them out almost daily. What continues to be perplexing is why the outgoing nepotistic and brutal government has chosen to be unrepentant in its evil ways by being selective with its apologies. Indeed, if there is anyone that deserves this apology as much as the millions of Nigerians whose lives Buhari deliberately destroyed, it should be the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu whom the Buhari junta violated in so many ways without any form …
