Trouble Looms For Nnamdi Kanu As ‘Tsunami’ Hits IPOB ‘Mercenary’ Leadership
Tension may seems to have doused down in IPOB on the surface but a greater turbulence is still gathering in the inner circle of the rogue movement according to investigation.
Bvi had earlier reported about a feud between Mefor and Nnamdi Kanu which escalated to a very serious war of words between the duo.
Sources who are very close to IPOB DOS told our correspondent that the report of some online media two weeks ago caused a very severe confusion in the proscribed movement. Kanu and other renegades were forced to invite Mefor for negotiations in order to avoid further hostilities and disgrace in the hierarchy of the movement. After a holistic closed door meeting, Uche-Mefor was advised to pull down some of the controversial post he made on his Facebook page. Though, this was after his conditions were met, a reliable source said.
Nnamdi Kanu, who is running a salary driven freedom fighting movement has been accused of being autocratic, arrogant, fraudulent and crude by some of his comrades who now have a divided loyalty.
Uche-Mefor’s position in the rogue organization was saved after the report of ElombahNews was sited in some reputable forums that have been so critical about IPOB and what they represent. One of our source said, “the one that infuriated Kanu the most was when the report was sited in DPA, Due Process Advocate. It striked so much fear and confusion in Kanu”. Mefor who has been so vociferous over a while called for a change of approach and attitude among the members of the movement but unfortunately, his appeal fell to the wrong ears. Instead of resolving Mefor’s outburst diplomatically, infinitesimal crooks who are more concerned about their stomach in the outlawed organization tagged him a saboteur and called for his immediate expulsion.
Perhaps, understanding the gravity of collateral damage Mefor can inflict on the movement if eventually he is removed arbitrarily, Kanu was forced to bring him to a negotiation table. Alot of compromises were reached in order to assuage and neutralize the looming implosion in the organization. That was why Uche-Mefor subtly deleted one of the post he made describing himself a razor.
Despite the peace deal that was reached, all have suddenly fallen apart as their African representative, George Onyibe who command loyalty and respect in IPOB has been disgracefully sacked from the organization. Kanu after dismissing Onyibe described him as an ‘idiot’ who was given a little opportunity to speak on the microphone but got carried away. Our dependable source also said that George Onyibe is defiantly loyal to Uche-Mefor and not to Kanu.
While George Onyibe in retaliation described Kanu as ‘stupid’ and ‘shameless’ if he should continue to initiate actions that will make IPOB members to die in vain. Onyibe further said, “You are dancing naked in the market place exhibiting your stupidity for all to see. In your mind you think you can destroy me as you have destroyed so many but we shall see to it”.
“You are all yapping now, pray that your fight will not be on the day when you are pregnant”.
“I have told you before you can not disgrace me because there is no shame in the womb that gave birth to me”.
“They threaten me that they will use Nigerian government to destroy me even when they are fighting for Biafra”.
“They told me they will teach me How strong they are by the 7th of September 2020 and I’m waiting for them, this is what they are doing let me help them create popularity for me, in the end I will take them back 40 years behind their career”.
“I have promised all of you before now I will fight you in an environment you have not been before. I will fight you in an atmosphere where I will make you an alien. This is a promise not a threat”.
“But the truth is that the battleground will not be of your choosing. So if you think I will respond to you the way you are planning it in order to use my action to justify your fraud then you are hallucinating”.
“Very soon I will broadcast on Radio Biafra extra page or Biafra watchman page you better begin to report it to Facebook now before that time, you are predictable which make it very pathetic”.
“You think you can hide in diaspora and be using our life as sacrifice on ground here?”
Emeka Gift, the former National Coordinator of IPOB in Ivory Coast and purveyor of fake news had in the month of August accused Uche-Mefor and George Onyibe of planning a coup d’etat against the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu.
He also said, Mefor and Onyibe singlehandedly hijacked the structure of IPOB in Africa which has made the proscribed movement to witness multiple cases of insubordination from various quarters. Emeka’s outburst was after Bright Chimezie Ishinwa had earlier asked Mefor to resign for divulging vital information to the perceived enemies of the rogue movement.
A former ally of Kanu said, “Since Nnamdi Kanu sensed the inevitable implosion that is about to crush his family oriented venture (IPOB) into pieces, he has been jumping from pillar to post, appointing crooks and petty hustlers who will be subservient to his command and control balderdash to mount various positions in the movement. It is good to note that many who are working for IPOB presently does so because of the financial and other material gains attached to it. No sincerity of purpose and vision”.
However, investigation shows that IPOB is on the verge of drowning. Many are deserting the rogue movement after discovering how irresponsible and fraudulent the leaders have become, another source said.

The Bombshell From Yinka Odumakin To Tinubu (A Must Read)
!
Dear Chief Tinubu,
The backpage of your The Nation of Tuesday 12 March where one of your Rottweilers under the FORGED name “Segun Ibirogba” wrote “Odumakin’s anxiety over vanishing feeding-bottles” has un-paused the button on this serial.
I have always wondered why these intellectual almajiris around you always attack me under fake names.It is either they are afraid of me or they don’t believe in you to risk their names doing the dirty job for you .Well,we know many of them hold worst views about you than us but for the free money they have been accustomed to from a Robbin Hood.
The piece referenced was a rehash of same old silly lies and freshly minted ones.In keeping faith with my resolve that for every dart of lie you guys throw in my direction ,I will return 10 bombs of truth I make this response.And for every line I write,I can say like Fela Anikulapo-Kuti “Na true I wan talk again o,if I dey lie o,make Edumare punish me o”.
Since you guys made a failed attempt to impugn my integrity ,I have chosen to use this edition to place your life side-by-side mine on the scale of integrity so we can know if your hen can point at the boil in a hawk’s eye.I intend to show that were it not that Nigeria has become Ceaser’s palace where the leper holds the veil,nobody in your circle should move near that subject.
I am Yinka Odumakin and nobody can say he had known me under any identity in my life .I have led a straight life unlike you that people know under different identities depending on where they met you in your about 80 years on earth .Yes,80!
Those of us who are knowledgeable about you cant buy your 66 claim for so many reasons .The current governor of Osun is the son of your immediate senior sister from Iragbiji and he is 63 while you are claiming 66. Your first wife died in Lagos recently unannounced at 74 .
When the son he had for you died many moths earlier his age had to be doctored to fit into the lie that you live. And there is a photograph of yours at the palace of Soun Ogbomoso in 1974 when the current monarch was installed with a bottle of beer and packet of cigarette in your front. You mean you were 20 when you were drinking and smoking in a palace ?
There is no school I have attended in my life that my classmates would not come out in droves to say “yeah, we were there together!”. From St Augustine Primary School, Ondo to CAC Grammar School, Edunabon and Oduduwa College Ile -Ife down to Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile -Ife and University of Ghana.
At your end St John Primary School Aroloya you claimed may be created by your new governor in Lagos. The old boys of Government College Ibadan were planning a reception for you when someone asked which set you belonged to .There has been no answer to that till date and the reception was cancelled. The tales by moonlight on Chigago State University and University of Chiicago are all over the place.
My parents are alive in Osun and by God’s grace I will give them a befitting burial. I will not have to send emissaries to bury them since I have not abandoned “moomi” (that’s how we Oyo people in Osun call mummy) to be calling another woman “maami” in Lagos to fit a life of lie and greed. No Mama HID Awolowo would have told me that she knew all the children of “maami ” and that I was not one of them.
My parents are not rich but I am proud of them because it is from their black pot that my white palp has come out. I say proudly among my University mates today that they could not afford more than N60 per month for me throughout my University days .The story of grass to grace is a proud thing among the Yoruba. MKO Abiola was proud of the story that he ate egg for the first time in his life in the home of Simbiat Abiola’s parents.
With the modest means of my parents, they instilled so much values in me that there is no crime attached to my name in all my years on earth. Forging traveling passports had never appealed to me. Neither has my name been linked to a narcotic ring leading to inquiry and forfeiture of assets. All my life, my hands have provided for me. And they have provided for you too.
I recall when you returned from exile in 1998 and running for governor. You were not “Ezeego” then. You had only the Sunday Adigun house and all the four cars you used then belonged to Mr Ganiyu Solomon. There were a lot of printings being done for you by your friends at The News. I saw the price you were being offered and I told you my press could do it at 40%. I delivered and saved you 60%. I recall Mr Babafemi Ojodu complained openly that they could not do the price I offered you !
That should tell you and your attack dogs that I have always separated the cause I believe in from what I would eat unlike you who always mix the two. You pose as a June 12 hero today but Kola Abiola is alive to tell the story of what happened to MKO’s money as Bashorun is no longer alive. In 20 years, there is hardly any boundary between Lagos treasury and your private pockets. Your “O to ge” moment is coming some day and all the dirty deals will be out.
Like a rapist, you can tell your victims to shout “O to pe” for as long as stolen funds and drug money rule Lagos politics.
I have noticed that because you and your followers have no abiding principle and you are driven by only lust for money, you assume it is so for everybody. Your being glued to the lowest of all spirits (money) makes it difficult for you to make the right judgement about people thinking they are all about money. Was it that you didn’t have money when I told you in December 2006 that it was over between us politically? Have I ever looked in your direction ever? There are men who may not be able to give N10,000 to a cause but if they say they want to see me at 8AM I would be there at 7. Can you summon me with all your bullion vans?
I recall how you said to me in 2006 about Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi and I quote you “Adiye ni Tokunbo, yin agbado fun a pada” (Tokunbo is a fowl, throw corns and it is U-turn). Has he not turned his back at you today? You don’t have “corns ” again? This was the man who was your fall guy when you made all the forgeries in 1999. He was among the team that went to bury your biological mother in Iragbiji when you could not show your face, has his exit not shown you there are men who place value on principle than money?
I have lived my political life on the basis of the fact that an adversary today can be an ally tomorrow and vice versa. I am not beholden to any person outside the core beliefs we share. One of the men I had an open disagreement with was President Obasanjo and when we reconciled it was an open thing. That differentiates me from you who walk both sides of the streets simultaneously. You were with NADECO and also in bed with Abacha through whom you forged friendship with the Chagourys who are your business partners till date.
The political buffoons around you would hold you out as an anti-third term person today but you know what happened between us on May 2, 2006. We had a meeting at Airport Hotel in Lagos where you were dictating the communique against third term unknown to participants you were at a meeting till wee hours of that morning to work third term in another way.
I was reading the communique to the press when you called me. I gave the phone to the late Rev Tunji Adebiyi but you told him you wanted to speak with me. We didn’t get to talk till late in the night. I had with me in the car as you spoke with me from VGC to Ikeja then President of Egbe Omo Yoruba in North America, Mr Odusanya. Let me quote you verbatim :
“I hope you have not released that communique. We need to manage this third term carefully. Obasanjo is a blind cat. If he causes problem now and they kill one Yoruba graduate in Kano and we kill 200 people selling onions in mile 12 it is not equal. I am therefore proposing that we have a win-win situation. Instead of outright third term we can have the confab recommendation of one six-year tenure starting with the incumbent having 2 extra years and so with we the governors. We can use the two years to empower people like you and handover to one of you. I have asked General Alani Akinrinade to come and I am going to meet Prof Soyinka to discuss it. I want you to think about it”
I told you as a matter of fact that the proposition was unreasonable and there was nothing for me to think about as I would prefer outright third term where we would have elections to automatic two years extension. But my eyes were opened to how unreliable you are that night. Here was a man dictating communique against third term in the morning having this conversation with me at night.
I made up my mind on you that night. The conversation I had with you minutes after Funso Williams was killed and the way you handled your your succession made me to severe political links with you within six months .
