''Kanu privately collected £14 million and another
$22 million to purchase landed properties abroad in
his name and that of his father, Igwe Israel Kanu, in
a clear case of ‘monkey dey work baboon dey chop’''
The international media arm of the proscribed
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Radio Biafra,
has resumed operations. But instead of the fiery
rhetoric with which it was associated with, the radio
announced the sack of Nnamdi Kanu, as director
and leader of IPOB.
The Radio Biafra’s programme started between 6am
-7am on Sunday with the lady announcer, who gave
her name as Ifeoma Okorafor, stating that the radio
was restructuring. Then the shocking announcement
that “Mazi Nnamdi Nwanekaenyi Kanu, the former
Director of Radio Biafra is hereby dismissed and
removed as Director of Radio Biafra following
extensive and intensive consultations.
According to Okorafor, one “Mazi Ezenwachukwu
Sampson Okwudili is Kanu’s replacement.”
She reeled out reasons why Kanu was removed to
include: “Personalisation of the Biafran struggle and
derailing from the core objectives of IPOB as a
grassroots movement. Kanu’s actions and his
decisions to incite members of IPOB towards
violence leading to the death of many innocent
young people in Onitsha, Aba and Umuahia is totally
unacceptable and grossly irresponsible.
Kanu privately collected £14 million and another $22
million to purchase landed properties abroad in his
name and that of his father, Igwe Israel Kanu, in a
clear case of ‘monkey dey work baboon dey chop’.
Kanu turned our collective struggle into a money-
making enterprise for himself and his father. Thus
the monies contributed by enterprising and hard-
working Igbo youths across the world are being
collected and converted by one man and his father
while pretending to be sacrificing for the cause.
Upon his release from detention in April 2017, one
expected Kanu to drum up support for the release of
his colleagues and co-detainees such as Chidiebere
Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David
Nwawuisi. These are our brothers who were arrested
at the same time with him and they should not be
forgotten. Instead, he has been going about
collecting chieftaincy titles and having a messianic
swagger that even allowed full-blooded Igbo men to
kneel down and kiss his feet.
Kanu threw away the original meaning of our
collective struggle for personal gain and vain
glorification. IPOB believes in democracy as a solid
base of any modern state, the rule of law, and will
always reject violence in all its ramifications.
