They starved over three million Biafran children to death. Has Jeff Bezos heard this side of the story?

No wonder Jeff Bezos came for her. I have been wondering what the probabilities are that a man who hardly tweets at all would quote Uju Anya's tweet. She was a sympathizer of the group that raised the big dust on Amazon's treatment of its employees. Wow!.
Y’all I met Chris Smalls! Extraordinary brilliant and powerful young man who unionized Amazon!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

@UjuAnya He shouldn't have brought it to the public. But this brokeshaming isn't it at all. Women are kept all the time by men and we don't hear about it. A "feminist" shouldn't be brokeshaming a man because she believes he's enjoying what other women enjoy all the time.

I don't always agree with her, but I think that is what makes it more beautiful. Effortlessly intelligent, often nuanced in her views, courageous, and especially eager to share her knowledge.
Ok, all you geniuses: who’s a -smart- person’s idea of a smart person? Whose intellectual work and manner of presenting it has earned your respect? Or do we not commit ourselves that way on Twitter?.

Apart from IPOB, nobody is speaking about Nnamdi Kanu's unjust incarceration. Not even young Nigerians who should be pissed off at injustice. This is not how a society that will survive functions, a society where everyone looks away because it won't take the yam off their mouths.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was not scared to speak up for his people. He did not mind being called a mad man, or an animal, or even going to prison. He embarked on self-determination fearlessly. He was almost killed, lost both parents. He bounced back and gave us ESN. Greatness. 🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️

How the hell did Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s manage to write Half of A Yellow Sun at 29?! She was obsessed about the question of Biafran genocide and turned to her genius in creating arts to pursue that question. Today young Igbo writers are too timid to discuss Biafra. Pathetic.

Never for once have I seen the Yoruba bourgeoisie team up to castigate Sunday Igboho. Many of them don’t like him but he’s fighting for self-determination which is no crime. But stupid Igbo political jobbers want to kick Kanu when he’s been in prison unjustly for 4 years. FOOLS.

This is just one of the many desperate efforts to run me down and tag me as what I am not, with the intention to gain some perceived political mileage against me.

I keep telling you people, especially Igbo people, no politician will save you from this mess. None of them is good. Even your Peter Obi. This is like pissing on the grave of 3.5 million children starved to death in the Biafran genocide. The man is a disgrace at times, NGL!.
I am privileged to join other Nigerians of goodwill to celebrate a highly respected leader and former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, on his 90th birthday anniversary. In a time of hate, you stood for love. At a time of strife, you stood for peace. At a time of division,

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu turns 56 today. One of the bravest Igbo men ever. And by far, the most important Igbo man alive. May our ancestors be with him and may his courage never diminish and may the Biafran dream continue to live in our hearts and may it come to fruition.

They said Nnamdi Kanu was a bigot for asking Igbo people to stop going to Yoruba churches. At some point, I felt Kanu went overboard too. But today, Igbo people have been persecuted and Yoruba pastors are quiet. This silence is so loud and the true bigots have been unveiled.

Happy Biafra Heroes Remembrance day. 54 years ago, these were many of our parents. In that genocide, 3 million children died of starvation. This year, one of the survivors won the presidency and it was blatantly rigged. Another survivor is held in prison against court order.

You won't get the goodwill of Igbo people by taking about Igbo Presidency. I can assure you 95% of Igbo people don't care for it. If you want the goodwill of Igbo people speak against the continuous killing and marginalization of Ndị Igbo. And endorse the Biafran dream. 🌅🌄.

Nnamdi Kanu is the best thing so far to happen to Ndigbo in the 21st century. The only three Igbo political leaders whose greatness touches his own in history (regarding Igbo people) are Chief Michael Okpara, Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu, and Chief Sam Mbakwe. Nobody else comes close.

Peter Obi being unable to speak on the killings going on in Igbo land because he doesn't want to lose the sympathy of the north (which he doesn't even have) in the forthcoming election, shows he's not much better than the other politicians. 🚩 🚩 🚩.

At the height of Peter Obi’s presidential ambitions, IPOB members became laid back in their agitation for Biafra even though many of them did not believe in Obi’s ambition. It was a kind of solidarity. But today Peter Obi’s supporters are collecting gigs to tarnish IPOB. 🤡💀.

When he comes out from prison and they start bowing before him and trying to kiss his shoes, this is why. It’s hard not to worship this kind of courage when 98% of Igbo so-called elites are a bunch of cowards. It will not be well with those who side with our oppressors.

The sit-at-home is no longer an IPOB thing. IPOB tried to end it and failed. It is not even a Simon Ekpa thing. Those pinning it down on insecurity and fear aren't being very honest. It is something of general consensus. People move around now even, but most choose to stay in.

So far, Peter Obi has shown more desperation to be President than even those politicians who eat with Almajirai and post the pictures on social media. Felicitating with a man who presided over the death of 3.5 million of children your age in a genocide 54 years ago is insane.

A most unfortunate and ignorant thing is how Nigerians exclaim, "There Was a Country", in reference to Nigeria. When Achebe said "There Was a Country", it was in respect to Biafra, not Nigeria. It was Biafra that was a country. Nigeria is so useless that it has never been one.

Wondering why IPOB has stood in the past 10 years, and is the most powerful institution in Igbo land today? It is because it was built on an ideology. People easily put their lives on the line for ideologies. If you want to equal or beat IPOB, come on with a stronger ideology.

How some elements ask Igbo people what they have gained from sit-at-home since it began makes me cringe. I realise that when African Americans decided to boycott busses for 1 year, 15 days in Alabama to protest racism, some people must have asked them what they've gained from it.

Some of you don’t like Nnamdi Kanu but you like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. You hate sit at home but you talk glowingly about the public boycott of public transport systems by black people in America in the 60s. Something is wrong with Ndigbo. Ndi mgbu!.
