Last time, I wrote about how Kanu is paying through his nose to launder his already damaged reputation — if indeed he ever truly had one.
I want to emphasize this assertion further because of recent developments surrounding the attacks on the outspoken President of the Igbo Women Assembly (IWA), Lolo Nneka Chimezie, by a popular radio host known as Oizisa 96 .1 FM Oweri. #Nnosokwa.
Lolo Nneka Chimezie is not just a brave woman; she is also a committed lover of freedom and once a devoted supporter of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Under her leadership of the Igbo Women Assembly, she presented an award to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on July 24, 2017.
She loved Kanu not because of wealth or personal admiration, but because of what he claimed to represent — the freedom of our people, just like many other Igbo individuals believed.
Lolo Nneka Chimezie followed Kanu’s trials closely. She sponsored protests demanding his release and personally participated in demonstrations calling for his freedom. Even after Kanu’s conviction, she joined the Igwe Nri entourage that visited him and later told Biafrans that she had a healthy interaction with him.
What made her visit different from many others was her courage to confront Kanu with difficult questions. I believe that if Nnosokwa had such an opportunity, he would neither care nor dare to confront Kanu with the same hard realities Lolo Nneka raised. Those questions are already in the public domain, so there is no need to repeat them here.
From those interactions and years ofk observations, she discovered hidden truths which, in her opinion, remain at the root of the insecurity Ndigbo have suffered over the last five years while many continue hoping for a freedom strategy that appears increasingly unrealistic.
As a mother concerned about the fate of Ndigbo, and deeply pained by the loss of Igbo youths — whether at the hands of state actors or non-state actors — she advised Kanu to put his house in order within IPOB. She warned him against creating rival groups or enabling factions that operate violently while using his name.
Any sensible person not driven by emotional manipulation from broadcasters like Nnosokwa would recognize that Lolo Nneka Chimezie’s words were motherly advice, not hatred.
THE RISING CRITICISM OF KANU BY LOLO NNEKA CHIMEZIE
Lolo Nneka Chimezie’s criticism of Kanu is not motivated by hatred or financial interest, but by years of observations and what she describes as fact-finding.
Over the last five years since Kanu’s extraordinary rendition, insecurity has spread across many parts of Igbo land, especially in Imo and Anambra States. Innocent lives, businesses, and properties have been destroyed. Kidnapping and ransom demands have increased. The controversial Monday sit-at-home enforcement brought suffering upon ordinary people.
The groups behind many of these activities often claimed they were fighting for Kanu’s release. Although IPOB officially denied involvement and the Nigerian government repeatedly linked the violence to IPOB, confusion continued. Kanu himself was initially silent before later publicly distancing himself from such activities.
However, independent findings, according to critics, suggest that Kanu indirectly enabled factional groups through some of his associates, siblings, lawyers, and political allies. Allegations also persist that politicians funded some of these factions through Simon Ekpa with millions of naira.
Critics argue that while large sums of money flowed in, the suffering of ordinary people was ignored.
After five years of violence and instability, one would expect reflection and accountability. Instead, many believe Kanu is preparing to repeat the same mistakes even while his legal appeals continue.
Despite the motherly advice from Lolo Nneka Chimezie that there should be only one clear chain of command within IPOB, recent developments suggest Kanu is not interested in restructuring anything because maintaining the present situation benefits him politically and financially.
According to claims made by Nnosokwa himself, Kanu allegedly spends over ₦20 million monthly inside Sokoto prison, including paying school fees for hundreds of almajiri children.
This raises serious questions.
As someone familiar with IPOB’s internal structure, I know the official welfare package allocated to Kanu by IPOB leadership is nowhere near ₦20 million monthly.
So where is the money coming from?
If the claims about such extravagant monthly spending are true, then it supports the long-standing allegation that Kanu is living comfortably in prison.
Biafrans therefore deserve answers:
What are Kanu’s real sources of wealth?
What businesses does he operate outside prison?
Are these funds linked to political sponsors?
Or are they connected to criminal factions allegedly operating under names like “100 Men” or “Autopilot”?
Meanwhile, there are thousands of IPOB families left homeless, fatherless, motherless, childless, and financially ruined because of this struggle.
The question to Nnosokwa is simple:
If you discovered Kanu spends such enormous amounts monthly in prison, did you also ask whether he extends similar support to struggling IPOB members and families affected by the conflict?
Emotional blackmail cannot permanently silence differing opinions or protect a damaged image. Time and events always expose reality.
Simply because some people criticize Kanu does not mean they are enemies of Ndigbo or lack Igbo blood.
Disagreement is not betrayal.
Criticism is not hatred.
And accountability should never be treated as a crime.
History will not remember who shouted the loudest, but who spoke the truth when it was dangerous.”
