FG confused over Kanu, self-determination agitation, says AfenifereThe pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has said the Federal Government is not serious about the case against the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. To be honest, I would like to see Nnamdi Kanu and his urchins have their own country. I want to see where they are better that makes them think the rest of humanity only came to look! I thought these Afęnifębi people said they are Pan-Yoruba group. They should be talking about Sunday Igboho kę, oh! I forgot they only blame Nigerian government but can say much about the Benenoise government that detained Igboho. Afęnifębi are enemies of progress. dudubody “The appropriate mindset is to admit that Nigeria, as a wobbling contraption of entrenched nationalities, is negotiable and that negotiations do not necessarily lead to dismemberment. Let the dialogue begin.” - Afenifere, Sola Ebiseni
