The world is now witness that the Yoroba thug, Obasanjo, has chosen to violate all norms of civil behavior. The Yoroba beast has decided that the death sentence is proper for people caught playing soccer.
We now have Idi Amin, Mobutu, and Polpot combined in one criminal named Obasanjo. It is time for Igbo people to stop allowing themselves to be led as sheep to the slaughter. It is time to rise and fight.

I am not sure what Obasanjo will say to his maker on judgement day. With all the innocent Biafra Blood in his hands Obasanjo's day of reckoning is fast approaching.
Dokubo and his terror group are known to have weapons and have caused violence and threaten to cause more violent, what did Obasanjo do. He sent the presidential jet to bring him to abuja where he settled them. These are people that have innocent blood on their hands.
When some crazed Islamic entities from Arewa threatened to cause mayhem if there demand for an Islamic secretary, in the ongoing fool-the fool dialogue, instituted by Obasanjo in abuja. What did Obasanjo do, quick quick he gave in to their demand. These are people with history of killing innocent civilians and destroying govt. and individual properties.
When Chris Ubah, Obasanjo's brother in crime, sent thugs to burn and destroy state infrastuctures in Anambra what did Obasanjo do? looked the other way and till date no one has been held accountable.
Now innocent young men, who want to decipate energy through soccer have been kept in jail for months, and like play like play, they may be tortured and eventually killed. Just because they belong to a peaceful, non violent organization demanding equal right and treatment, with no history of violence. I trully wonder how Obasanjo will face his maker.
I seriously believe that his days are drawing to a close. God let evil to happen for a greater good and purpose. This is sure one of those times. God help us all!

All we need is a change of approach/strategy. It is the non-violent attitude adopted by MASSOB that is questionable. Violence is indispensable when dealing with non-democratic dictators who like Obasanjo who acceded to power through fraud.

Although our political views about Nigeria widely differ, I always knew that there was an humanitarian current running deep in you. Though you have staunchly opposed the Biafran view, I do not believe you wish harm to Igbo people. Yet I think even you now realize the truth of what we have been saying about the oppression of Ndi Igbo. This late development concerning the Igbo soccer players is a glaring example of the selective persecution of Igbos, especially Igbo young men(fighting age). While I thank you for your apropos characterization, there is much more in Nigeria that is sickening as it concerns the treatment of this people. I dare say that it is evident to you and others that a state of war exists between Nigeria and its Igbo inhabitants, however one-sided it appears at the moment. From the theft of this people's properties and resources, to the violent subversion of their right to choose their own leaders, the Nigerian state has purposely sought to marginalize and exclude Igbo people from all real benefits of Nigerian citizenship. There is a prejudice and a discrimination that rivals what black americans suffered in this land, and in all probability is much worse; and it will go on, unless people begin to see the real truth of so-called Nigerian democracy. Evil deeds, it is said, will continue, as long as good people do nothing.
I hope you will continue to voice to your friends and compatriots the same feelings you have voiced here. Somehow I believe you will, but remember, this same Obasanjo who wants to try these young men for treason and put them to death is the same Obasanjo you recently praised in the following post...
quote:I think you guys will at least give OBJ kudos for tackling the “REAL DEAL” of Nigerian problem. Any society that is as corrupt as Nigeria and Nigerians cannot make any meaningful progress, and until it is significantly wiped out, we are just going to keep on yelling and screaming at one another with no solution in sight.
Methinks OBJ deserves some credits for his war against corruption, and if he can win this war like he won the civil war, then I personally would forgive him all his other shortcomings and give him kudos. Look back into Nigerian history and tell me when a sitting minister or IG has been sent packing because of corruption. This is the 3rd minister that will be fired for corruption and we might still see more in the months ahead. OBJ might not be doing a very thorough job, but at least he is trying, and as the cliché goes, failure is not those who tried and failed, but those who failed to try.
It is disingenuous on the part of those who are accusing OBJ of selective justice to easily forget that Sunday Afolabi who was OBJ very close friend was not spared some nights in jail during the National id scandal, and that man actually died from the trauma of the episode. Tafa Balogun is not off the hook yet, and am sure he would have his day in court when the time comes.
I hate to look at things from ethnic perspective, but I have to mentioned that this is the third consecutive senate president from Ndigboville that will be ridiculed out of office because of corruption, and unfortunately instead of my Ndigbo brethrens to look at this critically and agreed that something is wrong somewhere, they keep laying the fault at OBJ’s feet.
Bababoyz, Igbo people represent civil war to Nigerians. Igbos are yet being punished by the government and the society. One thing you said in another of your posts, however, is very true. We will have to solve our own problems because no one will do it for us. No one cares. Nigeria is our problem... and somehow, we have to make it go away. This generation may not be the generation of war, the children of which, the good book says, have teeth like sharp swords, but that generation will come; and when it does, souls will ascend from the earth like smoke from a furnace. This is something we all ought to try to avoid, by doing justice now, rather than prolonging the day of revenge and retribution. Your Nigeria and your Obasanjo is doing a great harm to those yet unborn.
