@ChidiOdinkalu@CCSoludo A so-called Professor & 1st class holder bowing to a non-certificate holder and drug-baron! ONLY possible in the contraption of Zoological Republic of Niggaria!
The same way a Law Professor was VP to Buhari; a standard 6-leaver certificate holder. Their shame is despicable.
It is time for the Nigerian government to listen to Mazi Nnamdi kanu! It is time for the Nigerian government to free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu! No freedom for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu-No peace! No freedom to the people of Biafra-No peace! No freedom to the land-No peace! No referendum- No peace!
It Is Too Late To Restructure Nigeria
By Aloy Ejimakor
For far too long, Nigeria’s founding compact has been broken, and there’s no sincere person that will make any bones about it. As it stands, the only honest path left is a peaceful, orderly partition, not another round of “restructuring”
that will continue to maroon disparate peoples inside a forced union.
Nigeria was built on an unwritten tripod of rotational power: The three major ethnicities (Igbo/East, Hausa-Fulani/North, Yoruba/West) and the minorities contiguous to each. However, save for a brief period after Independence, the North, through successive military administrations insensitively monopolized power. And that’s how the cookie began to crumble.
By hindsight, the Northern monopoly of power appeared not to be by accident but by some pre-Independence secret plot that was merely waiting for the right opportunity to hatch.
However, this pattern of exclusion shifted a little under the 1999 civilian zoning that has produced mostly Presidents from the North and West, but never produced an Igbo president.
Lopsided state creations have left the Southeast with five states while the Northwest has seven and the others, six. This directly affects seats for the Senate, House of Representatives, local government numbers, and federal allocations.
Boundary adjustments and brazen gerrymandering carved ancestral Igbo territories, particularly oil-bearing areas, into non-Igbo states, followed by an enormous federal pressure on natives to question their Igbo identity, or even to outrightly deny it.
To be sure, all these did not begin in 1966, or its aftermaths. Pre-independence violence against the Igbo in the North (Jos 1945, Kano 1953) already showed the fragility of one Nigeria. The 1966 pogroms and the civil war that followed destroyed any remaining trust for vast majorities of the East.
Nonetheless, in a desperate search for a panacea, some interests resorted to suggestions of some restructuring that will preserve one Nigeria, but this has been on the table for so long that it has become hackneyed and boring.
In the midst of this never-ending drift, Nigeria must borrow from other multi-ethnic states which chose orderly separation when foundational principles failed, or became counterproductive by effluxion of time.
Czechoslovakia’s 1993 Velvet Divorce divided the country into the Czech Republic and Slovakia through negotiation. The Soviet Union’s 1991 dissolution produced fifteen successor states largely by elite agreement rather than by war. Serbia and Montenegro separated peacefully in 2006.
In Nigeria, possible configurations could, through referendum produce an Eastern/Biafran entity, one or more Northern entities, a Yoruba West, and autonomous minority homelands in the non-Igbo Niger Delta and non-muslim Middle Belt.
Let it be clear that this is not only about Biafra. It is also the most and only realistic path to a permanent solution for the other demands that are pulling at the fabric of the federation, including particularly the surging religious terrorism in the North.
There’s no gainsaying that the risk of delay is clear. Yugoslavia’s contested breakup produced wars, and ethnic cleansing, because elites and the military could not agree on orderly secession.
Anybody timid about the foregoing, just because of the 2027 general elections, should hear this: Holding the elections under the present constitutional and fiscal arrangements simply entrenches the status quo. The next best thing therefore, is for the National Assembly to enact a special Act postponing the elections by six months and extending the tenures of all elected official by the same period.
This temporary, extraordinary measure would create space for a properly constituted national conference, or a series of referenda to determine the future political maps, after which founding elections of any successor states could proceed under the new arrangements.
According to the @realDonaldTrump Administration, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s (@officialABAT) government frequently uses illegal, coercive, arbitrary, and extrajudicial detention as leverage in settling disputes.
Example: In February 2024, President #Tinubu’s government arbitrarily detained a U.S. citizen after he arrived for meetings in Nigeria. He was detained over a business dispute. His passport was seized, and he spent over eight months in jail in a notorious high-security facility known for its harsh living conditions. He was released only as a result of U.S. diplomatic pressure on the #Tinubu government.
This is relevant because the Nigerian Presidency, through one of its ambassadors, threatened to have Dr. Von Batten detained, kidnapped, and physically harmed. This was followed by threats to refer Dr. Von Batten, a U.S. citizen, to Nigeria’s notorious security intelligence agency, have him charged with a crime, and extradite him to Nigeria.
We will be submitting the recent @StateDept report to the court in connection with our pending lawsuit against President Tinubu, Ambassador Fani-Kayode, and DCI Group.

59 years after the Asaba Massacre, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has appealed for forgiveness and reconciliation, but the Asagba of Asaba, HRM Obi Epiphany Azinge, SAN, has insisted that there can be no closure for his people until a sitting President publicly apologises for the 1967 killings.
Today, I stand with Israel, and with Madam RACHEL NWOSU, as the world remembers the horrors of October 7, 2023. Madam Rachel is a highly connected beautiful lady with a strong sense of justice, and she has done so much to advance our cause. She needs our support, appreciations and prayers.
Never again should Israel or any other nation experience such horrific violence.
Senator Victor Umeh takes the case for #Biafra to the floor of the Senate, warning that: “The consequences of Igbo marginalization will be huge”. And he queried why a federal agency in Southeast got only ₦4b while the same agency in the other regions got ₦60b.
Kudos to my colleague, Dr Maxwell Opara, as he scores big in Denmark by getting the International Bar Association’s approval of his proposal to accept Petitions from lawyers, activists and journalists intimidated by their government anywhere in the world, including Nigeria.
If you need further evidence of how the British rigged Nigeria to fail, read this/watch this short video:
"Before they actually ran the 1959 election, they needed money for the North to fight the election. So what they did, my senior officer, Major Bunker, went around, was ordered by the Governor-General to go to all the major British firms and international firms—Ford, UAC, Leventis, all these firms—and raise money for a slush fund to enable the North to fight the 1959 elections. The North got most of their money from the Native Authorities. This was looked on by the British as being okay. This wasn't corrupt because we were friends with the North. And if they tried this in the West or in the East, we might have said this was corruption. But because it happened in the North, the Native Authorities' public money was poured into the government party, the NPU. So this obviously was a terrible fiddle. We were discriminating against the Southern politicians in favor of these Northern Emirs. What we saw was that this would not be the first act of treachery. Yes, and this has been one of the biggest tragedies in world” - Harold Smith, a former employee of the British Colonial Government in Nigeria.
BREAKING: “Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu’s Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, Esq., publicly announced that he had been authorised by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu to disclose that Onyendu had been working with Mike Arnold and that they had drafted the Sokoto Declaration together.” - Emma Powerful, on behalf of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, 3rd October 2026.
“I hereby direct the unconditional release of MAZI NNAMDI KANU and all political prisoners, and discontinuation of the trial of OMOYELE SOWORE. I further direct that all political grievances, particularly the demand for referendum, should be settled by dialogue” - This is the critical part of President Tinubu’s 1st October speech that didn’t happen. A missed opportunity.
He didn't just fight power. He built the tools to check it. ⚖️

I posted this video in the public interest. It’s better watched than explained. The young lady speaking is named Jumai Yar Hausa Aminu. She’s from Northern Nigeria, and she spoke through tears and pain.
Two days ago, as officials representing Nigerian President Bola Tinubu (@officialABAT) were co-signing a mining MOU in New York, the @FBI filed new sworn declarations concerning President Tinubu in federal court.
The FBI again confirms that its search was specifically for records concerning Bola Ahmed #Tinubu and reiterates that the records retrieved involve a drug-trafficking investigation, controlled drug purchases by a cooperating witness, federal grand-jury proceedings, and electronic surveillance.
The Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys goes further, confirming that records concerning an Assistant U.S. Attorney’s prosecution plan and grand-jury targets exist. A prosecution plan is a prosecutor’s strategy for pursuing potential criminal cases, including assessments of “possible charges.” This document, if released, could confirm allegations that President #Tinubu ratted out his co-heroin traffickers and became a government witness.
For a copy of the FBI’s latest filing, email [email protected].

Update: We have been cleared and authorized to proceed with a $36 million federal lawsuit against Nigerian President Bola Tinubu (@OfficialABAT) and Ambassador Femi Fani-Kayode in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The suit arises from threats to kidnap and physically harm Dr. Von Batten, made by Ambassador Fani-Kayode as part of an organized criminal conspiracy involving the Nigerian Presidency.
As to President #Tinubu, this case will test the limits of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and head-of-state immunity while Tinubu remains President. The complaint will proceed under applicable D.C. tort law, the FSIA, the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), and the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), including 28 U.S.C. § 1605B and 18 U.S.C. §§ 2331 and 2333. Section 1605B addresses specified international-terrorism claims against foreign states, while § 2333 provides a civil remedy to U.S. nationals who satisfy its statutory requirements.
After filing next week, we will engage with U.S., U.K., and E.U. immigration authorities regarding the alleged extrajudicial threats and whether Ambassador Fani-Kayode’s travel or visa status warrants review. U.S. law provides terrorism-related grounds of inadmissibility under INA § 212(a)(3)(B), 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(3)(B), and authority for visa revocation under INA § 221(i), 8 U.S.C. § 1201(i). Any determination will be for the appropriate authorities.
