As a lawyer (and one who could also become a judge), I still struggle with the cold reality that a person could be convicted for what amounted to murders, solely on the basis of free speech made on a foreign soil. The only explanation for such, is if such person is an Igbo. Yes!
Dear all: @Grok has debunked the news of the ARREST of Temmy Okanlomo, whose social media comment urging the Yoruba to kill an Igbo who bought property in Yoruba land, which sparked calls for his arrest. So, Ndigbo in America should stay on the matter until the FBI takes action.
Sixty years after, Mazi Imo Aguiyi-Ironsi, the head of the Aguiyi-Ironsi family, speaks candidly & sorrowfully on the assassination of the great military leader, General Aguiyi-Ironsi, and makes certain demands on the Federal government.
Congratulations to my colleague, Barr. Nnaemeka Ejiofor, for this victory. I’m aware of these 2 detainees whose unlawful detention by DSS moved MAZI NNAMDI KANU to help them, even when they’re not Igbos or Biafrans. This reflects #MNK’s unyielding dedication to justice for all.
FINAL CALL: World Igbo Congress (WIC) makes the final call for its Convention (3rd - 6th September 2026 in Texas USA). If you’re interested, send me a DM or contact WIC for a free invitation to process your US visa, or follow the instructions on the flyer below.
@EmekaGift100 Let Ifeanyi Ejiofor make it as a public statement that his office will defend Nneka lemme check something.
Went to his page but couldn't find such.
Where did you get this information from ?
Let this sink in: MAZI NNAMDI KANU’s unparalleled leadership is a big umbrella that can accommodate everybody/group that is committed to the Igbo/Biafran cause. And anybody capitalizing on his unjust imprisonment to downgrade him should know that it’s actually upgrading him. Yes!
As a protocol officer. To the State Governor. Are you not seeing the situation of the country??? Has corruption blinded you??? Even a child knows the President is failing us. Yet you decided to go and collect make up from the youths. This is just the beginning.
President Tinubu must urgently rethink the wisdom of prosecuting Omoyele Sowore over something as trivial as a social media post calling him a "criminal".
History is a relentless teacher. The political trial and conviction of Chief Obafemi Awolowo in the 1960s helped spark a crisis that eventually plunged Nigeria into a military coup and a devastating civil war. Repeating such heavy-handed tactics against political opponents near an election cycle is a dangerous gamble.
AGF Lateef Fagbemi’s surprise court appearance on July 27 was a missed opportunity to apply the brakes. Rather than escalating the state’s fight against an active presidential candidate, the Attorney-General should return to court next time to enter a nolle prosequi and discontinue the case.
Subjecting a presidential candidate to the rigors of trial so close to the general election creates terrible democratic optics. It projects weakness and fear of opposition rather than democratic confidence.
It is time to discontinue the case and protect our democratic stability.

Speaking fearlessly in this video is Mazi BEN MADUBUGWU, a man of courage. In the annals of freedom-fighting or human rights crusade, there’s a special respect reserved for men like him, who are fighting on the soil, at great risk to their life & liberty. Hear him & respect him.
