Moses:
No one is beyond a change of heart.
Again perhaps thats me being open minded (call it naivete if you will!)
After all when IBB tried all possible gambits and just when Nigerians were getting war weary and resigned themselves to seeing him grow hoary on the throne the Commonwealth produced the master card and lo, the Prince of the Niger stepped aside.
There may be other things Kanu may have seen and heard not available to us..

Subject: Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Mazi Moses Ochonu:
And, Yinka, you actually believe the story from Kanu that the same FG that would not allow a referendum (it is treason according to them and their constitution) and that would not even grant him bail despite several courts granting it would then suddenly offer him, a nonentity like him, Biafra (five Igbo States) and an oil block and a mansion in Dubai as he said? The same FG that unleashed troops to mow down peaceful Biafra demonstrators in the Southeast? The same FG whose head, Buhari, oozes contempt for the Igbo and their agitations for Biafra? I guess trivializing the serious issues plaguing and threatening the union and making snide remarks and jokes are the new approach when one cannot logically discredit a legitimate centrifugal agitation that is the latest in a long line of such agitations--agitations that point to a dysfunctional union.

My dear Obobodima:
I only wanted to seek further clarification from the horses mouth...
After all those of us federalists have to eat the humble pie (serves us right!) having now realized that the FG had sneaked behind our backs to offer Kanu the core 5 Igbo states (former East Central) which he rejected vehemently (serves them right!)
Now that the argument has moved beyond convincing Mazi Ochonu of the desirability or otherwise of encouragaging agitations for Biafra (while the FG had already caved in-spineless lot!) and our truce is moot ( the outcome has already been decided by Buhari ( according to non-Mazi Farooq- Kogi & Kwara are not yet included in Kanu's statement of claim)
All this humble soul wish to request is whether in seeking a visa to enter that future republic Mazi Ochonus neck of those woods can be a reliable entry point.
After all, what are friends for!

So, Prof. Ochonu should rethink his logic? Given that the inclusion of
Benue amounts to another colonization? (And I know the discourse game
of trying to frighten him with Igbo assimilation, when you slap a
"Mazi" title on him!) Hmmm. Same type of poison the federal side has
been using in deceiving the minorities in Nigeria. Who says that Benue
and other oppressed groups can't align with the Biafran struggle or
find reason in it to reclaim their own autonomy and credible
existence? Must they submit to
