Former
Aviation Minister said this in a new article titled "The Lion of the
East" which he shared on his Facebook page this morning. Read the
article below and tell us what you think
"Let me make this abundantly clear right from the outset. I love and respect Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the supreme leader of the Biafran movement, the founder and convener of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) and the man that I have appropiately dubbed as the Lion of the East.
I do not however agree with him on EVERYTHING and neither do I share his views about President Goodluck Jonathan.
I do not believe that Jonathan was weak or that he was incompetent. As a matter of fact I believe that the contrary is the case.
I
believe that he exhibited immense strength and courage by letting go of
power even though he did NOT lose the 2015 presidential election but
was rather rigged out of it and even though he did NOT need to do so.
If
Jonathan had been a lesser man and if he had wanted to do so he could
have knuckled down, called the bluff of the then opposition and held on
to power even if it meant that the bloodthirsty sociopath that
threatened to soak the nation in the "blood of dogs and baboons" if he
was not declared winner of that election went ahead and carried out his
threat.
Instead
of calling the bullying beasts bluff and thereby endanger the lives of
millions of Nigerian people, Jonathan said "my being President is not
worth the drop of blood of one Nigerian" and he let go.
Only
a strong and disciplined man who is not in the grip and under the power
of satan and who is not driven by a primitive, bestial and compelling
lust for power can do that.
Jonathan was not weak: he was strong.
Jonathan was not weak: he was strong.
Secondly I believe that his record of infrastructural development throughout the nation is second to none.
Most
importantly in this context I believe that Jonathan, more than ANY
other President in the history of Nigeria, did more to rehabilitate and
empower the Igbo whilst he was President.
Having
said this I must confess that, other than his past remarks about the
Yoruba people which he made a number of years ago and which he has told
me privately and said publicly that he no longer holds, I am on all
fours with Nnamdi Kanu on virtually everything else.
The
truth is that I have a soft spot for him and no matter what he says or
does I will always love him like a brother because he has managed to do,
in a very short space of time, what most cannot do in a lifetime: he
has won my respect and rekindled my hope in Africa and African leaders.
I
believe that he is a courageous, strong and dynamic young man and
indeed the greatest thing that has happened to the Igbos in the last 103
years.
As
I alluded to in an earlier essay which I wrote after meeting him for
the first time in Kuje prison in 2016, he is an Ojukwu, an Nzeogwu and
an Azikiwe all rolled into one.
Despite
the contrived and sponsored disinformation and rubbish that his many
detractors are saying and writing about him, today he remains focused on
his objectives and clear about his mission: nothing appears to move him
and or distract him from his calling.
He has a date with history and destiny and no matter what his enemies do to him or say about him he shall keep that date.
Most
important of all is the fact that I understand what drives him and
kindles his extreeme passion for the cause that he serves.
I
understand his burning yet clearly repressed anger at the shoddy and
inexcusable plight of his Igbo people in the contraption called Nigeria.
I
can feel his pain and when you sit with him for a long period of time,
to the discerning and the sensitive in the spirit, that pain is not only
contagious but also literally tangible.
Rarely
have I met a man that has so much genuine love and concern for his
people. My admiration and respect for him remains intact and it cannot
easily be diminished.
And
frankly if I had been born an Igbo person, given the history and what
they have been through in the hands of Nigeria over the last 57 years, I
would have been far more radical and uncompromising than even he is.
The
truth is that Nigeria should count herself lucky that he is a pacifist
who has not called for and neither is he interested in an armed
struggle.
If
that had been the case and if he had made his battle-cry "blood for
blood", things would have been very different today and our country
would have been in the terrible vice-like grip of another civil war.
Yet
despite his pacifist and non-violent approach in this struggle there
are still so many that simply hate this rising young star for no just
cause.
And
there are thousands within the intelligensia and ranks of the Nigerian
ruling elite both from the north and the south who oppose what he stands
for and despise the very idea of the establishment a new, sovereign and
independent Biafran nation.
As
a matter of fact they find such an idea and notion deeply offensive.
They believe in freedom, the rule of law, the right of
self-determination, the concept of restructuring and the cause of
freedom for themselves and their own but they do not believe that the
Igbo people deserve the right to have such freedoms or to make such
choices.
What
a contradiction and what a tragedy. You are comfortable in your chains
but when your Igbo brothers say they wish to break theirs and become
free you seek to deny them that right and you join forces with the
slave-masters and tell them that you will help them to keep the igbo in
chains by force.
Can
this be considered as being fair and just? Can it be right before God?
Can it be sustained? Can it be justified and defended?
Is it not an intellectually dishonest, spiritually jaundiced and utterly flawed position?
Should
we not bow our heads in shame when we think and talk like this? Are the
Igbo not human beings too? Do they not share the same rights that we do
and that we cherish?
You
believe that the people of Scotland have the right of
self-determination but you don't believe that the people of Biafra have
that right as well.
You
believe that the people of Hong Kong have the right of
self-determination but you don't believe that the Biafrans have that
right as well.
You
believe that the Palestinians have the right of self-determination but
you don't believe that the Biafrans have that right as well.
You
believe that the people of Northern Ireland have the right of
self-determination but you don't believe the Biafrans have that right as
well.
You
believe that the Basques and the people of Catalan in Spain have the
right of self-determination but you don't believe the Biafrans have that
right as well.
You
believe that the people of the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Germany,
Japan, South Korea, Canada, Israel, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, South
Africa, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Australia, Ghana, Kenya, Benin, East Timor,
Ireland, Europe, the former Yugoslavia, the former Soviet Union, the
former Czechoslovakia, the former Malaya, Taiwan, the Sudan, the
countries of South America and South East Asia and hundreds of other
nation states throughout the world and over the years have the right of
self-determination but you don't believe that the people of Biafra have
that right as well.
O Nigerians, who has bewitched you? And who, like Apostle Paul's Galatians in the Holy Bible, has put you under a spell?
You
scream "restructuring" when you know very well that the owners of your
nation and the "born to rule" will never allow it and that it is an idea
and concept that ought to have been accepted, established and
implemented many years ago.
What
burns in the hearts and souls of most young Nigerians today, and this
is especially and understanderbly so with the young people of the east,
is total liberation and independence from Nigeria. That is what they
want and not just restructuring. (TO BE CONTINUED)

Can I hear word plz? Enough of this Biafra guy🙄🙄🙄🙄
This dude is just cashing out at the expense of his dumb ibo people...
This guy is a foolish fool,I will never for a day eat his words.Such a crafty person.
Notwithstanding his controversies, I have so much respect for FFK
Coward like you, it's like you just like saying rubbish all the time. OBJ has always been right about you. You have forgotten what this joker said about you race? Ojukwu and zik will never be so careless about words. I
This ass licking FFK should please piss off. Very irritating human being. This is the same man that spoke negatively about the Igbo's the other time. The man changes his positions like the British weather. lol
Always insulting people but praising Kanu because of the mans popularity. Even when Kanu insulted GEJ, or he did was a very weak, feeble and passive response.
Temperamentally unfit person, may God help him. He needs to go for a proper deliverance in MFM.
Pls stop promoting this man,Nnamdi KANU,he is an idol worshipper and should not drag Igbo's into it.Biafra is a forgotten issue,we should be talking of restructuring.
FFK stop instigating something you cannot handle please....u bloated moron
I like this FFK. He knows how to provoke people.
GOD BLESS FFK
ohh this fool again always trying to be relevance and stay on the News...We North are tired of Igbo's who most of are criminals product of baby factory.
Enter your comment...ohh this fool again always trying to be relevance and stay on the News...We North are tired of Igbo's who most of are criminals product of baby factory.
Shut Up FFK. you're one of the stupid people that are making this charlatan to feel he's somebody when he's just an empty vessel. Let Nnamdi Kanu Wait until he is taken back to prison then he's eyes will clear. He has been deceiving some jobless igbo youths and illiterates in the name of agitating for Biafra they will never get.
Nnamdi Kanu is our man. Our modern day Hero.
Let Biafra go.
Your comment will be visible after approval.
FFK you have said it all. I strongly believe time shall tell
Ffk you are not igbo and never Can be instead of blowing kanu head because you are married to his sister while not do the right thing that every honourable statesman will do and which is that the igbos are not leaving Nigeria to go and form any ipob we are one and one we shall be ,i use to admire you ffk but with these Your fake love for the igbo let me tell you, we the really igbos know ourselves so we dont need you to sell kanu to us , every tribe have their culture, traditions and their way of life ,as ndi igbo we have ours so please face your yoruba tribe and stop trying to use the igbos to get at apc , if you are man at all please go stand on Your feet and face apc or even buhari stop using the ndi igbo , your Nnamdi kanu Can never be compared to ojukwu or zik of Africa , on What grounds naw honestly man am begining to believe you are on snowflakes .
God will punish ffk. Haha the country is struggling and you instigate violence. It would never be well with u. We have need to develop and this idiot is making a nuisance popular.
Igbo vice president ffk, I know your end game. You don't care about him, you just want him to frustrate this administration. Igbo is a tribe you can easily use anyway.
OMG!!! FFK You've just won your self BIAFRAN PASSPORT im processing it now in BOSTON Massachusetts.. thank you!
Yeah God bless you family members.
How did any woman fall in love with Femi Fani-Kayode. How did they do it? Anyways, I guess they always realize their mistakes & then run off.
Femi Fani-Kayode is too lousy to be a man.
FFK, you are a two-faced two-timing individual. 1.he .add comments about Yoruba and other ethnic groups in Nigeria openly,why did he admit that he did not mean it to you privately? 2.he openly called for monetary support for arms in a video uploaded on YouTube (Google that! it's still there) 3.the dude you are going down on all fours for is about to fuck you, and his followers clearly you don't mind) . If you are looking to profit from war then you will be disappointed. Cowards !!!
I agree with Kanu but he should kindly face only the Igbos and leave the south south out of it. Simple!!
Someone puhhleeeeeeez tell FFK to go take a Hike..... His opinions don't count much on this particular issue!
FFK is an Intelligent man, a very intelligent man.... Albeit his allegiance is FICKLE... not to be trusted, he can switch sides whenever it suits his personal gain
FFK way back was a known hater of ndigbo, but now he's a self appointed spokesman of the same people....he has changed political parties countless times...
Moving onto Nnamdi kanu, he doesn't speak for me or other enlightened igbos...he speaks for numerous street urchins, disgruntled and jobless folks who feel that the Emergence of biafra is the panacea or Magical cure to their frustrations. . No Igbo man of worth, who has possesions or properties outside the 5 southeast states can follow that OPPORTUNIST!
What the Igbo leaders should do is properly agitate for Zoning, a power rotational structure that gives them their proper share of Nigeria! ....and that can be achieved, not shouting biafra........atimes I wonder how nnamdi kanu and associates think????? Biafra is landlocked, no ports, ...surrounded on all sides by states that will remain Nigerian, cos south south are not even willing to be part of biafra......they just sit and imagine one Utopia and perfect place called biafra.....an escape from reality!
The other day APGA in Anambra state publicly disassociated themselves from Nnamdi kanu..... More is to come....only jobless people who have nothing to lose will follow him..
FFK is a student of history, Nnamdi kanu reminds me of Adolf hitler,who came to power riding on the hate for Jews.......he located that hate wave, and through Demagoguery manipulated the German race and plunged humanity into World war 2.
Millions died because of that one man's selfish Ambitions.....
May lives not be lost or become too late before we realise it.
On 2 the Next!
FFK go sidon for doti biko!Ur patronage of the Igbo nation ever since ur extremely corrupt former govt failed during the last general election is very fishy and offensive! You that was verbalising all sorts of diatribes against us all of a sudden cunningly instigating IPOB to violent actions,I know that's your intent,but we are wiser than that bro,you ain't our friend and will never be!
Good one FFK, Reno has tried to twist your mind because of his hatred for the Igbo, but you've remained yourself. A man fighting for the restructuring and referendum is not calling for war. I pray that Nnamdi Kanu will achieve his purpose and nay Sayers like Reno Omokri will be put to shame. GEJ is a good and kind man, sometimes people mistake kindness for weakness.
And what are your people from the north? Terrorist and murderers. Rapist, child molesters. Rank that with criminals and see the scale. Useless almajiri.
@aymii stop deceiving yourself
1)ure not igbo
2) if igbo succeed in getting biafra..This useless entity called the zoo will disentigrate into pieces..igbos are the only tribe holding this zoo together, even if SS refuses to join biafra , they will leave Nigeria and formed their own country( which is a win win)..no sane tribe will like to be in the same country with hausa/fulani...even the middle belt is getting wiser now....maybe the yoruba slaves can continue to serve their master in north who knows...one way or the other the zoo will fall
3) it is funny that people like u who havent crossed ORE before knows what is happening in Anambra...or that igbo land are landlocked or that igbos are just in only 5states..continue in your delusions if that makes u sleep well at night

Keep dreaming.
He's not including the south South my dear. The south South is not Igbo. God bless Nnamdi Kanu.
And those jobless people following Kanu are the ones he is fighting for, not your likes who are just 'okay' the way the are.
hehe na una sabi
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Oga FFK please don't forget to take your medication!
FFK leave ibos alone naaaa.u can't even talk for ur kindred.bloated cow
Olodo. Learn how use common sense first. You didn't have to copy/paste the last statement fool. Follow Kanu like we Hausas followed buhari and you will end up with a far worse result than we did.
Is it surprising that only 2 persons commented like 15 times in this post, saying different things. He would comment with his name twice and change to anonymous to comment multiple times. Hahaha! Hausa/Funlani can be crafty but I promise you that your game in this contraption called Nigeria is up. Thank you FFK, you are indeed a man! Men of honour are proud of you. Your description of Nnamdi Kanu is apt! Let them hate him or love him, non of them in this country of nations can equal him, they can only spew trash out of jealousy yet Mazi Nnamdi Kanu doesn't notice them. Let them form a movement of their own, let's see who will follow them.
Biafra, I long for thee.
Nigeria, I reject thee.
