On this #XTuesday, I bring you this melodious song by our beautiful Igbo women. They’re awesome, and the song reflects the true essence of MAZI NNAMDI KANU, and captures some of the reasons why all & sundry must join the campaign to #FreeNnamdiKanu without further ado.
"Buhari Died and was Buried in Shallow Grave in Saudi Arabia" --- Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in an Interview with Dele Momodu. He has revealed the Death of Buhari as early as 2017 before the Operation Python Dance.

Stolen From The Mind Of A Yoruba Man
How do you expect us not to be jealous of you Igbo people? How? If you as an Igbo man think I and my people won't be jealous, then you guys are not even as smart as we thought after all.
I watched many young Igbo people come to Lagos with nothing. They were Johnny just come. We were already in Lagos when they came. In fact, I was born here, even though my father was from Abeokuta. I am a Lagosian, no doubt. After all, even Tinubu became a governor of Lagos, yet he isn't indigene of Lagos.
These Igbo small small boys came with polythene bags to serve their Oga. We say they came from the interior bush villages of the East. They served their Oga dedicatedly for 8 years after which they were settled. Life wasn't easy for them yet they scaled through. Some slept in their shops for years, saving money and developing their businesses, while our own youths were doing Alaye and moving from one party house to another, spending every one naira that entered our hands. While these Igbo people saved up and grew in business.
Now, they didn't only grow; they have bought almost half of Lagos. We made sure they didn't get Seaports in their places. We used military, police, customs and immigration officers to litter their region, thereby frustrating them. We made life difficult for them using government structures thereby forcing them to troop into Lagos in droves. Today, they are here and better. They have trillions of investments here. Apart from Lagos, no other of our state can be compared to theirs.
Tell me who will see these things and not be jealous. We are jealous of them and some of our people even want to take over the properties we sold to them at exorbitant prices. Funny, but true.
It is still jealousy that made our people destroy their properties and markets, but the more we are doing these things, the more they are growing. The worst is that they are still demanding to leave our country.
What are we going to do without Igbo in Lagos? During Christmas Lagos always turn to a graveyard. Business and social life are completely dead. And yet they threaten Biafra.
If we allow these people to get Biafra, Lagos will become a child's play to what they will build. In 10 years all leg will be heading to Biafra.
Tell me who won't become jealous of such people and their achievements?
Just 54 years after the war that rendered them useless, they have outshined everybody.
