Thanks Chidi.Well done.What do you think of his strategy of boycotting Nigerian elections as a way of delegitimising the political process in the SE in pressing for a referendum as to whether or not the region should remain within Nigeria?ThanksToyin--On Sun, May 30, 2021, 15:39 Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM <chidi.opara@gmail.com> wrote:Oluwatoyin,Your "most impactful" singsong is subjective.By now, you should have known that I do not subscribe to group mentality, so if the Yoruba and the Fulani elites are not condemning what they are supposed to condenm as you said here, that is left for them. I answer my name, not anybody's. I have my eyes on posterity.I am however not even condemning Nnamdi Kanu. He is an intelligent, courageous young man with passion for the welfare of Igbos(my ethnicity), but he lacks the strategy to bring to conclusion what he is doing. Worst of it is that he lacks the quality of mind to listen to other viewpoints.In 2015, his erstwhile deputy Uche Mefor(presently fallen out with him)sent me an email(I still have the email), introducing the nascent "Radio Biafra", I listened in and made suggestions. One of the suggestions was that Kanu should remove himself as the anchor person and get a professional broadcaster to anchor the programmes. I also suggested less reliance on unverifiable facts in favour of verifiable ones. When I asked Mefor why those suggestions were not considered he told me that "the supreme leader does not like them"(I noted the word "supreme" and chuckled).I have been one of the earliest persons to give Kanu support when most of you do not even know him.When he flew into Lagos and was brutalized and arrested by DSS and kept in custody without charge and medical attention, I was one of those publishing "Intersociety's" news releases on his predicaments, same also when there was an intention to try him secretly.These are some of the occasions I gave support to Kanu.Problem is that the young man lacks strategy and is not ready to develop any. He doesn't even seem to know that his method will not lead to Biafra sovereignty.Personally, I do not like to waste my time, which is what supporting Kanu will amount to.I will however not tolerate violations of his fundamental human rights and/or that of anyone for that matter.Thank you for your time.-Chidi Anthony Opara (CAO)--On Sun, May 30, 2021, 12:05 PM Oluwatoyin Adepoju <ovdepoju@gmail.com> wrote:Heee heee heeeWho is the leader or initiator or most impactful voice of he Igbo sit-at-home to honour the Biafran dead movement?Do you see Yoruba people discrediting Sunday Igboho?One or two tried it earlier but they have come to appreciate the gravity of the situation.As evil as Fulani herdsmen terrorism is, have you read of would be Nigerian President Atiku Abubukar making any substantial statement about it, talk less condemn it?Atiku's running mate was former SE governor Peter Obi.I can't seem to hear his voice amidst the current crisis.Is he heeding the tune of his masters with whose help he hopes to reach Aso Rock?People have taken positions in a war but some of us are insisting on rejecting those fighting for us because they don't meet all our ideals .ThanksToyin--On Sun, May 30, 2021, 01:40 Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM <chidi.opara@gmail.com> wrote:Oluwatoyin,It is funny how you always manage to bring in "Nnamdi Kanu" into every Biafra narrative, as if the issue of Biafra started with and revolves around your hero.-CAO.--On Sun, May 30, 2021, 1:12 AM Oluwatoyin Adepoju <ovdepoju@gmail.com> wrote:Heee heeee...Some may see it as a crime if it's being organized by a seccesionist who is using it as a dress rehearsal for a boycott of elections in pursuit of his goal.The next question is- is it a crime to desire to secede, particularly from a forced union?As we ponder these questions, we should ask ourselves-. Does Nnamdi Kanu's vision and strategy have something to offer us, whatever their limitations?The mounting cisis makes this question imperative.--On Sat, May 29, 2021, 20:24 Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM <chidi.opara@gmail.com> wrote:--Is it a crime for a group to decide to "sit at home" for a day to mourn their dead?-Chidi Anthony Opara (CAO)
