Nnamdi Kanu The False Messiah Who Is No Latter Day Savior
POLITICS DIGEST- Nnamdi Kanu has managed both by design and default to attract undue attention to himself. Don’t be surprised even Lucifer had fan club members and enjoyed following.
Certain fame and popularity with unavoidable notoriety are not what often provides basis for useful dialogue to seek peaceful solutions.
I have never met Nnamdi Kanu but some who claim to be close to him have approached me for opportunity for conversation. I foreclose on nothing but not motivated.
However, some years back I left him not too pleasant comment on one of his platforms. Basically, Nnamdi Kanu is a disgusting human being.
When this bloke busted on stage making inflammatory comments, he appealed to those who are prone to be tripped to the other side of rage just looking for opportunity to enrage.
And President Buhari in his undeniable leadership challenges encouraged the inflammation and Nnamdi Kanu and likes have gained grounds.
While freedom of speech should be allowed free from certain speech must be punished especially when such is like throwing fire on dry grass.
My view about Nnamdi Kanu is his approach. And I don’t his has depth to appreciate what he is blindly seeking.
As he gained notoriety, he assumed the Messiah position but he is only playing to the gallery.

As Abia native, why didn’t he turn his notoriety into running for Governor of Abia and used his native state as a proving grounds to what he wanted to see happen? Let charity begin from home. Had he proven leadership addressing challenges in Abia, no doubt he would have gained respect. Instead he takes on sessionist agenda to appeal to bunch of loosely gathered folks who believe a savior has come. Falsehood.
The 5-core Igbo Governors have been the biggest oppressors in Igboland. Since 1999, nearly $100B, in total states’ budgets have passed through for an area less than 14,000 square miles. On a comparative basis, what Igboland has gotten in same time frame is bigger than what state of Texas has gotten when analyzed on per square miles basis.
Had Nnamdi Kanu taken on Igbo state Governors to be accountable and responsible, he would have achieved a level of respect to endear him. Instead he overlooked the core critical linchpin as he went on pursuing IPOB – the sun will first rise from the west before that happens.
Igbos must reflect on their conducts towards themselves and not think their problems are due to non-Igbos. Since the end of the civil war – 52 yrs, Igbos have become the satirical Siberia – everyone knows where it is but no one wants to go there.
Igbos appear to love their homeland but do the deeper look – the intra tribal hate and hatred among Igbos is like no other in Nigeria. Rich and wannabe wealthy Igbos do not live in Igboland. They visit to flash but hardly sizzle in their homeland.
Slice and dice it as you see fit, Nnamdi Kanu is neither a Messiah nor latter day Savior – a rebel on lost cause who uses his marginal collateral content to arouse fragile and venerable people without distinction between Lucifer and Jesus.
Take a pick – it makes me no difference. As one makes their bed so shall they enjoy it.
