IPOB! Mixed reactions trail Nnamdi Kanu’s sudden appearance in Jerusalem
Nigerians on Twitter have expressed divergent views after the sudden appearance of the proscribed leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
Social media commentators and political analysts took to their individual pages to give their two cents about the leader who went missing in September 2017, when his Umuahia family compound was invaded by men of the Nigeria Army.
Recall that WuzupNaija had reported that the pro-Biafra separatist group leader was clad in white cloth and a cap was seen praying at the wailing wall in the Holy City in viral videos and photos.

One Twitter user, one Kelvin Odanz @Kelvin_Odanz, who also aired his views over the sudden appearance of Kanu wrote a lengthy tweet thread about it.
@Kelvin_Odanz said “just like Ojukwu, he’s just another unprincipled opportunistic coward with no values.
He wrote;
“I am glad to hear that Nnamdi Kanu is alive even though I don’t agree with his politics and methods.
“Just like Ojukwu, he’s just another unprincipled opportunistic coward with no values.
“He’s learnt how to exploit the victimhood sentiments in the Igboland and that’s a shame.
“He’d probably throw himself into the current political impasse, create further division and incite young Igbo men into violence.
“And then he’d probably disappear again when the heat gets too much. Or align himself with a political faction.
“I hope he gets arrested and duly tried.
“Ojukwu is a coward. It is okay for you to see him as a hero or whatever.
“He fought and unrealistic war and kept on fighting and sacrificing men, women and children even when he knew the war was lost.
“True heroes die with the cause and become martyred legends. But not Ojukwu.
“After fighting a senseless war, Ojukwu ran off like a coward. In fact, he boarded a plane that was originally meant to fly orphaned children out of Nigeria.
“He didn’t just use the plane to escape, he made sure he packed enough luxury items for exile, including his Mercedes Benz.
“On his return to Nigeria, he mostly abandoned and disregarded Biafran veterans who fought for him and lost limbs for him.
“Several events were organized in their honour and Ojukwu didn’t attend.
“Lastly, Ojukwu was an ardent supporter of Abacha even after he hanged Saro Wiwa.
“Abacha was someone who represented everything Ojuwku fought for.
“And to crown it all, he nursed ambitions of being President of the very country he violently fought against..
“Unprincipled. With no value. Opportunistic. A coward. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.
“It is okay for you to see him as a hero for sake of sentiments, but for others (including Chuba Okadigbo and Zik), Ojukwu was a cowardly egoistic fraud.
“In fact, he contested for senator in his constituency on his return and lost. May his soul RIP ?
“Oh. Nnamdi Kanu is acting based on the Ojukwu cowardice playbook tho.
“He incites young people into violence, flees when the heat gets too much and returns to play fief when the dust settles. And then probably aligns himself with Nigerian politics. IPOB fraud ?
“OJUKWU IS A COWARDLY FRAUD. Now that’s an opinion of mine. You are allowed to have a different opinion on him.
“In fact, you can also call me names and I’d choose whether or not to block you. That’s how free societies work!”

I hear Nnamdi Kanu is back again.
I guess he wants to play a role in the 2019 elections. My advise to him is simple:Don’t mess it up again this time around. He had a fantastic opportunity the last time & messed it up by calling on people to boycott Anambra polls. pic.twitter.com/LQF1pZSrFe

Propaganda meltdown. pic.twitter.com/CjBy6ashzB— Kayode Ogundamisi (@ogundamisi) October 19, 2018
It’s sad that we don’t ask questions in this country.
When Nnamdi Kanu was released on bail, he surrendered his Nigerian and British passports. If he’s been issued a new British passport, the Brits would have said so.
What travel documents is he using for this world tour?

So we are just going to pretend like y’all didn’t swear Buhari had Nnamdi Kanu killed because he hates the igbos? Wow
— Daddy D.O?? (@DOlusegun) October 19, 2018
Nnamdi Kanu is like Ojukwu who fled the country after causing many deaths.
Obviously, there is an umbilicus of cowardice connecting the late Emeka Ojukwu with Kanu.
I doubt if Ojukwu suffered any loss in the war.
Kanu has taken the same path.

So Peter Obi emergence and the Atiku’s momentum has caused so much fears in the Buhari’s camp that the only strategy would be to bring Nnamdi Kanu out and have him back to destabilize the South East voting bloc? Buhari’s desperation has no limit!

All in ONE day.
Nnamdi Kanu resurfaces mysteriously as elections approach.
Ooni weds a new wife in a “patriarchal” wedding.
Fashola suddenly realises electricity can’t be solved by magic – after declaring those that came before him to be incompetent.

My conspiracy theory!
Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and freed by the federal government under the condition shows up by this period and cause voter apathy in the southeast next year in the name of IPOB so Buhari can win.
I should write a fictional novel on this. Awesome movie script.— No one (@ilynem) October 19, 2018
In politics, there are no permanent enemy but permanent interests. I am not carried away by the sudden appearance of Nnamdi Kanu in that video. I simply smell a rat. We need to really think deep why his sudden appearance at a time the Atiku/Obi’s ticket gaining momentum in SE!
— Jackson Ude (@jacksonpbn) October 19, 2018
If the agitation for Biafra resumes and call for election boycott continues in the SE, it would surely reduce by half the votes from that region and if votes from that region are reduced, Buhari would win the 2019 elections. This is no conspiracy but thorough reading of the game!
