It is okay to believe in a person and/or a cause, that is one's fundamental right, but to try to denigrate others who don't believe in what one believes is another matter.
Broadmindedness recommends that we should be mindful of the imperative of divergent opinions.
There are always two sides of any coin.
In any case, how many of Nnamdi Kanu's supporters, including Senator Abaribe are open bon fide members of IPOB?
Since the rearrest and detention of Kanu, how many have tried to visit him and refuse to turn back if denied access?
How many have protested on the streets affirming that Kanu is innocent?
How many post from the frontline and not from the comforts of their homes/offices?
Instead, it is those of us that are labeled "enemies"(because we criticize Kanu's method) that writes and publishes anytime Kanu's fundamental rights are abridged.
Most of the supporter's of Kanu, including Abaribe still holds and/or their close relations and friends still holds positions in the Nigerian system that bring benefits of all kinds to them.
All of them still travel abroad with their Nigerian passports and request and enjoy Nigerian consular services when abroad.
I wish the young man, Nnamdi Kanu well.
When this whole thing is over, he will know his real friends and enemies.
