Blood Of Nnamdi Kanu
The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny … In any people that submit willingly to the daily humiliation of fear, the man dies. – Wole Soyinka
Currently there are allegations of maltreatment and the taking of blood sample of Nnamdi Kanu, the “freedom fighter” of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), while in detention, awaiting trial for treasonable felony. Some Nigerians have said a number of things in favour and against the IPOB “freedom fighter” as well as the IPOB as a terrorist organisation. From such comments anyone can get the impression that many Nigerians are floating in the air with regards to the real issues taking place in the country.
There had also been some gossips with regards to the death of late Dr Obediah Mailafia, whose revelation earned him some chats with security operatives. There was also a flashback that one military macho man who taught Ogoni people some lessons, once boasted in public that he knew over 240 ways of killing human beings, one of which requires the blood sample of “he who must die”. So, the issue of blood sample of anyone in detention raises a number of questions. Mystery of the blood!
Current research in blood chemistry has advanced so far that DNA technology and cybernetics stand as means of doing great exploits in the art of killing human beings in cold war. Without going too far into this issue, it is needful to say that blood is a bridge to life and death. Thus there is more to vaccines and blood samples than what average Nigerians know.
Particularly for the Black race, there are secrets which would not see the light of day, arising from unconventional research findings. Studies in Eugenics and Cybernetics, especially as instruments of social control, have advanced to an alarming stage that Nigerian authorities must take interest in what is brewing in that sector. For example, through Internet and other electro-magnetic devices some human beings can be connected, controlled and sucked into the vortex of unimaginable global gangsterist groups. What would be required include blood radiation, finger prints, NIN, etc.
What is known as DNA mapping, which requires individual blood sample, includes knowledge of the right use of peculiar radiations from vegetables, plants, colours and sound or tone, to match with individual blood system, for various purposes. What is known as Ectoplasm, derived largely from plants, can serve the purpose of connectivity whereby all roads are open for psychic invasion. There is also a device known as Superconducting Quantum Interferometer Device (SQUID) used for detecting and interpreting the state of a n individual’s blood radiation and personal aura.
These facts are being mentioned here because, while we are engrossed with politics of stomach infrastructure, the rest of humanity are advancing fast, whereby the Black race becomes the “fall guy” in a predatory world. While not sounding alarmist, it is needful, as suggested by Professor Adeoye Lambo long ago, that Nigerian leaders and their advisers be subjected to mental clearance tests. We may not believe it, but it is true that infusing “occult blood” into target individuals is a practice that can be obtained for a fee.
Without opening a can of worms, there is a need to warn Nigerians against talking glibly and carelessly, whereby we expose our utter ignorance in vital issues. As a global village, no country is an island, even when a nation chooses to operate as if it is free from global watch. Taking the detention of Nnamdi Kanu as an example, we find that his alleged arrest or abduction in a foreign country exposes Nigeria to a global watch, especially with some Nigerians allegedly volunteering huge reward to whoever would make such feat possible. The question has been asked repeatedly: Is Nnamdi Kanu Nigeria’s most biting challenge? A terrorist?
Prior to 1966, keen watchers of the affairs of Nigeria, saw obvious signs and indicators that all was not well, unless something drastic was done to stop the trend. Therefore, the first military coup of January 15, 1966, was the culmination of a rising expection of some drastic change. Surely, that attempt was a failure, largely because of sabotage, characterised by pointing fingers in the wrong place. That same “fall guy” tactics and strategy feature prominently in present search for why all is not well with the Nigerian state. Who fears restructuring?
Similarly, the infusion of “occult blood” in political affairs is not a strategy which many Nigerians know about. This strategy involves the use of paid agents to create diversions, confusions and divisions, while something else is being perfected. When Nelson Mandela was a leading “freedom fighter” in South Africa, those hired to rubbish him were his own people. Martin Luther King Jr., as a “freedom fighter” for Black emancipation in USA, was murdered by a Black assassin hired and groomed by state spin doctors to eliminate the “nuisance”. Add Saro-Wiwa!
That old strategy of using members of your own household to infuse “occult blood” into your system as a prelude to kill you, is still in vogue. Perfected! The British detective who led the investigation that resulted in late Chief Obafemi Awolowo facing a charge of treasonable felony, left a note that would shock Nigerians. The role of Awolowo in an effort to sanitise Nigeria, was also infused with “occult blood”, making him to become “the best president Nigeria never had”. Therefore, what is brewing in Nigeria would require clinical surgery to fix it right, especially where the complicity and duplicity are hidden away under the cloak of cancerous corruption.
Surely, there are a few living Nigerians who were shown some glimpse of the shape of things to come, of which inability to match words with honest actions and the air of insecurity, serve as accomplices. Globally, the inner caucus of national security apparatus is known to be an impregnable cult system, of which intruders who dare to approach can be infused with inexplicable virus. Therefore, it is dangerous to take on a Titan in a combat. Those who seek to know how the security cult operates, should read Wole Soyinka’s immortal book: The Man Died. Who wants to die a dusty death! A Freedom fighter?
The issue of Nnamdi Kanu’s blood sample, if it was ever taken by anyone, should be of concern to Nigerians, in the sense of an emerging practice of cyber terrorism. Similarly, the cult of witches uses blood as a vital bridge for psychic attack. Readers interested in this field of information can find and read my book: The Kabbalah With A New Accent. Nigerians should be proactive, rather than be led by the nose like assess.

The political atmosphere in Rivers State has been anything but calm in 2025. Yet, a rare moment of unity was witnessed on Saturday, June 28, when Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Chief Nyesom Wike, appeared side by side at the funeral of Elder Temple Omezurike Onuoha, Wike’s late uncle. What could have passed for a routine condolence visit evolved into a significant political statement—a symbolic show of reconciliation in a state bruised by deep political strife.
The funeral, attended by dignitaries from across the nation, was more than a moment of shared grief. It became the public reflection of a private peace accord reached earlier at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. There, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu brought together Governor Fubara, Minister Wike, the suspended Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, and other lawmakers to chart a new path forward.
For Rivers people, that truce is a beacon of hope. But they are not content with photo opportunities and promises. What they demand now is the immediate lifting of the state of emergency declared in March 2025, and the unconditional reinstatement of Governor Fubara, Deputy Governor Dr. Ngozi Odu, and all suspended lawmakers. They insist on the restoration of their democratic mandate.
President Tinubu’s decision to suspend the entire structure of Rivers State’s elected leadership and appoint a sole administrator was a drastic response to a deepening political crisis. While it may have prevented a complete breakdown in governance, it also robbed the people of their voice. That silence must now end.
The administrator, retired naval chief Ibok-Ette Ibas, has managed a caretaker role. But Rivers State cannot thrive under unelected stewardship. Democracy must return—not partially, not symbolically, but fully. President Tinubu has to ensure that the people’s will, expressed through the ballot, is restored in word and deed.
Governor Fubara, who will complete his six-month suspension by September, was elected to serve the people of Rivers, not to be sidelined by political intrigues. His return should not be ceremonial. It should come with the full powers and authority vested in him by the constitution and the mandate of Rivers citizens.
The people’s frustration is understandable. At the heart of the political crisis was a power tussle between loyalists of Fubara and those of Wike. Institutions, particularly the State House of Assembly, became battlegrounds. Attempts were made to impeach Fubara. The situation deteriorated into a full-blown crisis, and governance was nearly brought to its knees.
But the tide must now turn. With the Senate’s approval of a record ?1.485 trillion budget for Rivers State for 2025, a new opportunity has emerged. This budget is not just a fiscal document—it is a blueprint for transformation, allocating ?1.077 trillion for capital projects alone. Yet, without the governor’s reinstatement, its execution remains in doubt.
It is Governor Fubara, and only him, who possesses the people’s mandate to execute this ambitious budget. It is time for him to return to duty with vigor, responsibility, and a renewed sense of urgency. The people expect delivery—on roads, hospitals, schools, and job creation.
Rivers civil servants, recovering from neglect and under appreciation, should also continue to be a top priority. Fubara should continue to ensure timely payment of salaries, address pension issues, and create a more effective, motivated public workforce. This is how governance becomes real in people’s lives.
The “Rivers First” mantra with which Fubara campaigned is now being tested. That slogan should become policy. It must inform every appointment, every contract, every budget decision, and every reform. It must reflect the needs and aspirations of the ordinary Rivers person—not political patrons or vested interests.
Beyond infrastructure and administration, political healing is essential. Governor Fubara and Minister Wike must go beyond temporary peace. They should actively unite their camps and followers to form one strong political family. The future of Rivers cannot be built on division.
Political appointments, both at the Federal and State levels, must reflect a spirit of fairness, tolerance, and inclusivity. The days of political vendettas and exclusive lists must end. Every ethnic group, every gender, and every generation must feel included in the new Rivers project.
Rivers is too diverse to be governed by one faction. Lasting peace can only be built on concessions, maturity, and equity. The people are watching to see if the peace deal will lead to deeper understanding or simply paper over cracks in an already fragile political arrangement.
Wike, now a national figure as Minister of the FCT, has a responsibility to rise above the local fray and support the development of Rivers State. His influence should bring federal attention and investment to the state, not political interference or division.
Likewise, Fubara should lead with restraint, humility, and a focus on service delivery. His return should not be marked by revenge or political purges but by inclusive leadership that welcomes even former adversaries into the process of rebuilding the state.
“The people are no longer interested in power struggles. They want light in their streets, drugs in their hospitals, teachers in their classrooms, and jobs for their children. The politics of ego and entitlement have to give way to governance with purpose.
The appearance of both leaders at the funeral was a glimpse of what unity could look like. That moment should now evolve into a movement-one that prioritizes Rivers State over every personal ambition. Let it be the beginning of true reconciliation and progress.
As September draws near, the Federal government should act decisively to end the state of emergency and reinstate all suspended officials. Rivers State must return to constitutional order and normal democratic processes. This is the minimum requirement of good governance.
The crisis in Rivers has dragged on for too long. The truce is a step forward, but much more is needed. Reinstating Governor Fubara, implementing the ?1.485 trillion budget, and uniting political factions are now the urgent tasks ahead. Rivers people have suffered enough. It is time to restore leadership, rebuild trust, and finally put Rivers first.

Do the Fulani herdsmen have an expansionists agenda, like their progenitor, Uthman Dan Fodio? Why are they everywhere even the remotest part of other areas in Nigeria harassing, maiming, raping and killing the owners of the land?”
In a swift reaction, The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) decried and strongly condemned the invasion by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
In his denunciation, MOSOP President Fegalo Nsuke described the incident as very unfortunate and deeply troubling, warning against a recurrence of the violence experienced in Benue State. “The killing of yesterday is bad and very unfortunate. We are getting preliminary information about how the herders gained access to the farmland, and it appears some hoodlums may be collecting money and granting access illegally.”
He called on the Hausa community in Rivers State to intervene swiftly to prevent further attacks.
“We want the Hausa community in Rivers State to take urgent action to ensure these issues are resolved”.
But will such appeal and requests end the violent disposition of the Fulani herdsmen? It is not saying something new that the escalating threat and breach of peace across the country by the Fulani herdsmen or those suspected to be Fulani herdsmen, leaves much to be desired in a country that is bedevilled by multi-dimensional challenges and hydra-headed problems.
Some upland Local Government Areas of Rivers State, such as Etche, Omuma, Emohua, Ikwerre, Oyigbo, Abua, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, have severally recounted their ordeals, as herdsmen invaded farmlands, destroyed crops, raped female farmers and killed protestant residents.
Again the wanton destruction of lives and properties which no doubt has overwhelmed the Nigerian Police, makes the clamour for State Police, indispensable. The National Assembly should consider the amendment of the Constitution to allow States to have their Statutory policing agencies.
As insurgency has risen to an all time high in the country were killings has now grown to be a normal daily activity in some part of the nation it may not be safe to say that Nigeria still practices democracy.
Several massacres coming from the Boko Haram and the herdsmen amongst all other insurgencies which have led to the destruction of homes and killing, burning of communities especially in the northern part of the country. All these put together are result of the ethnic battles that are fought between the tribes of Nigeria and this can be witnessed in Benue State where herders and farmers have been in constant clashes for ages. They have experienced nothing but casualties and unrest.
In the month of June 13-14, the Yelwata attack at the Guma Local Government Area by suspected gunmen or herdsmen who stormed the houses of innocent IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons) claiming the lives of families, both adults and children estimated to be 200 victims. They were all burnt alive by these unknown gunmen.
This has been recorded as one of the deadliest insurgencies that had happened in recent years. Some security personnel that were trying to fight the unknown gunmen also lost their lives.
Prior to the Yelewata attack, two days before the happening, similar conflict took place in Makurdi on June 11, 2025. 25 people were killed in the State. Even in Plateau State and the Southern Kaduna an attack also took place in the month of June.
All other states that make up the Middle Belt have been experiencing the farmers/herders clash for years now and it has persisted up till recent times, claiming lives of families and children, homes and lands, escalating in 2025 with coordinated assaults.
Various authorities and other villagers who fled for safety also blamed the herdsmen in the State for the attack that happened in Yelwata community.
Ehebha God’stime is an Intern with The Tide.
