BIAFRA : You have no right to decide who stays in Nigeria – Nnamdi Kanu blasts FG

 

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, has said it is not the duty of the Federal Government to decide who stays or leave Nigeria.

Kanu made the assertion on Saturday via a tweet on his official Twitter handle.

According to him, the decision of whether the country would disintegrate or remain integrated should be determined by the people via a referendum.

The founder of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, said not even the military has such power.

“Dear Nigerian Govs
It’s not your business to decide whether the people of your State should remain Nigerians or not. It’s not even the business of @NGRPresident or the @HQNigerianArmy.

“Instead, it’s the business of the PEOPLE, freely expressed through a process called REFERENDUM”, the tweet reads.

Recall that the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. -Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru recently said the military was ready to deal with all separatists disturbing the cooperate existence of Nigeria.

He vowed to ensure that those inciting disintegration such as the Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho who recently declared the Oduduwa Republic and his South South counterpart, ex-militant, Asari Dokubo are all dealt with.

BBNaija 2021: Jemima Osunde slams those calling for Ebuka’s replacement as host

 

Nollywood actress, Jemima Osunde has slammed those calling for Ebuka Obi Uchendu to be replaced as the host of Big Brother Naija, BBNaija.

There was an agitation on Friday where some social media users asked BBNaija organisers to replace Ebuka.

They suggested the organisers should consider another person as the host for BBNaija next season, and some Twitter users went further to suggest Edoho as Ebuka’s replacement.

A Twitter user identified as @iamkelgrin wrote: “Ebuka don eat small, make him allow another person chop! Frank Edoho as BBNaija host for this season won’t be a bad choice though.Eviction night go choke.”

Reacting to the tweet, Jemima Osunde described such suggestion as wickedness.

She prayed that those orchestrating for Ebuka’s replacement will have their jobs taken away from them too.

Her tweet read:“I pray with everything I believe in that someone will orchestrate your own job being taken away from you and it will work.

“I said what I said. You should get the wickedness you give out as well. Why are you people so mean?”

Meanwhile, Frank Edoho has turned down calls for replacement.

Edoho asked that Ebuka be left alone, wondering why people would call for the replacement of Ebuka who has hosted the show successfully since 2017.

He tweeted, “What did Ebuka do to deserve all this? Why would you want to change someone that has done a show successfully for only three years and have him replaced with one who did WWTBAM for 13 years? Leave Ebuka alone! Please.”
