Meet with Nnamdi Kanu, Obasanjo advises Buhari

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to meet with the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu before the ongoing crisis gets out of hand.

Obasanjo said, “I don’t see anything wrong in that [Buhari meeting with Kanu]. I would not object to that; if anything, I would encourage it.”

Talking to Newsweek, Obasanjo who with Niger Delta militant leaders in 2006 as President to stop attacks on oil installations, said, “I would want to meet Kanu myself and talk to people like him, people of his age, [and ask:] ‘What are your worries?’ Not only from the Southeast but from all parts of Nigeria.”

“We need to satisfy the youth in job creation, in wealth creation, in giving them a better, fulfilled life, in giving them hope for the future. There’s no easy way out,” he said.

  2. CONSEQUENCES OF WAR :UNDERSTAND YOUR CHOICES. _WHEN THE HATE SPEECHES MATURE TO FU LL BLOWN WAR NOTE THE FOLLOWING ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND LOVE:_* ?

    1. “`The 14 to 45 year old males will be bearing arms directly whether or not they like it. About half of them will die within the first year of conflict. At least 30% of females in this age range will be raped and probably killed.“`

    2. “`The bulk of 0 to 13 year olds will grow up as orphans. 10% will be killed in the first year and another 50% will perish from neglect in subsequent years.“`

    3. “`The population above from 46 to 65 years will have their dreams finally destroyed and will die out rapidly from lack of a will to survive the hardship and stress.“`

    4. “`The population above 66 years will have no support to survive and will die slow lonely deaths, some through starvation and neglect.“`

    5. “`Crime rates will multiply ten fold given the unbridled access to arms and ammunition. There will be no safe havens given current trends.“`

    6. “`Life expectancy will drop to 21 years from the current 47 years.“`

    7. “`If the conflict lasts longer than one year the worlds largest refugee problem would have been created. Nigerians will flee into Niger, Chad, Benin Republic and Cameroon. A one way journey for most as these countries are completely unprepared for the potential influx of humiliated Nigerians.“`

    8. “`Through CNN, Aljazeera, and other media houses we will become the global laughing stock with no idea of what next to do.“`

    9. “`Present day uncompromising voices will run away to safety. Shamelessly so. The afore mentioned victims will be drawn from ordinary folk.“`

    *No one (North, South, East, or West, etc) will be immune.*

    *BETTER TO TALK PEACEFULLY NOW WHILE WE CAN AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. _EVERY ARTICLE OF RELATIONSHIP AS A NATION CAN BE NEGOTIATED PEACEFULLY._*

    *NON-PARTISAN WARNING.*

    This powerful message is about the insanity of war. Please let’s continue to circulate and share it as widely as possible, trusting God that it will make those ignorantly beating the drums of war to come to their senses.

  3. See this baboon of Ota….after calling IPOB miscreants & jobless… after asking Buhari 2 months ago to stop Kanu …this man you’re the major problem Nigeria has now.

  4. Do you know that:
    During the Nigeria/Biafra war in which over
    3million Igbos were killed, nobody died from
    Ojukwu’s family? And are you aware that
    Ojukwu reunited with Gowon to enjoy
    national cake together fourty years after?
    Are you even aware that at this moment non
    of Namdi KANU’s family is likely to join you
    in the war if it eventually starts.
    Now the question to us the youths is this Are
    we stupid and dumb, to start this war while
    this pple are ready to flee their families out
    the country.
