Thank you so much Mr Ifeanyi ejiofor for telling the world the truth, God will continue protect you and your family nothing will happen to ok
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Amen
Dr Abati, if you have put this effort when you interviewed Gumi, you wouldn't be looking like an accomplice to the government's injustice.
I just hate this Abati Guy....
Who made him a doctor ??
The Angels of God is with him were ever he is,God is protecting no human being kill him unless by WILL of God
Barr. Ejiofor oil dey your head. God will see you guys through. Biafra will surely come and nothing on earth will stop it.
One thing is to be a lawyer the second thing is to be highly intelligent and oratory Barr ejiofor I stan you 💯💯💯
Competent Barrister
Thanks Bar. Ejiofor for telling the world the truth, Almighty God must surely protect u and guide your going out & coming back Amen 🙏 and also protect M.N.K. from the hands of his enemies.
Isseeeeee
Is this Abatti a judge in the supreme court??
Why is he sounding as if he already judged and Convicted Kanu in the court.
Shame.
He is totally unable to hide his hatred for kanu and the entire igbo race.
Big Shame on that idiot called Abatti
Ask that stupid man
Reuben Abati is unapologetically an Igbo hater.
Dr. Abati, with all due respect, a senior lawyer should always be addressed as Barr. And not just Ejiofor, Ejiofor, Ejiofor
Do you mind him?
Abati got no respect at all
is this an issue now? 😂😂😂😂 Africans and titles.
Yes, sir, I'm not against him calling him by his name Ejiofor, but the tune he used, sounds more like "listen to me, listen to me, my friend"
At least he should call him with courtesy
My brother,why dud you put Dr for him,he is Akpati, box as I call him,respect should not be given to such an old fool who does not give respect to whom respect is due to cos of his own selfish gain.Men lime him are tbe cause of our Problems in Nigeria.
@@stonekase it is ooooo
They will never give him a fair trial that is 100% truth this nigeria we're talking about.
Court runs by fulani people I feel bad about this country.
0000⁰
May God give u more wisdom to defend our great leader and also Biafra nation, God bless you Barr ifeanyi ejiofor,
U spoke well ifeanyi i am impressed.
Good job Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor!!!! I am so proud of you and I am glad you are doing well in practice. I remember the good old days in Abuja Campus of the Nigerian Law School. Without any doubt in my mind, I knew you will turn out to be a good and courageous lawyer. I wish you all the best and God will be with you in this struggle. We shall conquer by the grace of God.
why is Tundun trying to smile. I so love Rufai
Nnamdi kanu need more specialist criminal lawyers or SAN,very important in this case, because I spoke with my father he told me there's no case just that federal government want to punish him,my father is a lawyer...
You don't need a lawyer to give your dads verdict...it's clear to all. My kanu lawyer seems not only well versed but is courageous. Since when in Nigeria do evidences,facts and competence of representation matter.
This Akpati man I didn’t hear him address Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor as Barrister for once. He is so prejudice.
Believe me....that Akpati man is filled with sh** he got no respect for a fellow
Even it baffles me why the barrister didn’t reprimand him upfront.... if na me I will abandon the interview!
is this an issue now? Africans and titles.
@@stonekase it will not so much an issue if Mr Akpati was just a little bit respectful in addressing the attorney. Even if he felt the barrister doesn’t deserve to be called Barrister(although he is), at least show some kind of civility by address him as Mr. just like barrister Ejiofor addressed him-Mr. Akpati, not Ejiofor Ejiofor! That shows how much indignation Mr Akpati has for the barrister. More so, Mr Akpati has never ceased sweeping the truth under the carpet.
@@nkechiokoro1374 to be honest , we all know how badly behaved most of the old generations of Nigerians are when addressing someone not their age or level irrespective of the younger persons accomplishments.So i am surprised that Nigerians bother. I feel the mistake was Bar Ejiofor accepting the invite to appear on the station.
How disrespectful of Dr Abate to call Him “Ejiofor”… knowing fully well that he is “Barrister”.
Dont mind the man. He is of the old order of politicians that are afraid of a change in status quo. I hate listening to him
Banks Monday,
Your observation is a good one. Abati is a TIT FOR TAT Journalist. He is only hiting Barrister Ejiofor below the belt, because Barrister Ejiofor did not call him his posh title DOCTOR Abati. That is the game Abati is playing out their. You called me Mr Abati so I will call you Ejiofor. Abati is in league with very old and foolish Nigerian Elderly men, who has nothing to teach the Young. Abati will never change. You deny me my title, I will deny you yours.
@@EriduTV abati is disgusting
Very disgusting 🤮
lol...so it's the school yard playground all over again
He just schooled these poor journalists who dwell on bias and hatred. Nigeria is doomed
You obviously don’t know anything about journalism. They are journalists and not lawyers. They gave us an opportunity to hear from a lawyer and it was educative. Open up your brain a little
@@ayoolaajakaiye915 Mugu! they are very POOR JOURNALISTS. Why were they sounding biased, like they never saw the invasion in his house. They are journalists and they keep calling him a fugitive. I'm glad Barr. Ejiofor schooled them, he has my utmost respect. IPOB is only proscribed in Nigeria and no where else in the world, not even in Benin republic. That tells you all you need to know about the Fulani janjaweed
@@obieze4413 mugu??? This word says a lot about you. You are part of the people destroying the reputation of igbos. Igbos are known to be intellectuals. You on the other hand are one of the few morons that just happens to have an Igbo name. You have spent your life looking for people to defraud on the internet that you don’t know that journalists make money from these sort of things. The fact that you are watching it means you are generating revenue for them.
They are not just journalists but also knowledgeable in the provision of the law. Reuben Abati read law in Lagos state university while Tundu Abiola is a UK trained lawyer.
@Korean Civilization. Tundu Abiola is a lawyer and Reuben Abati read law
What kinda question is Dr abati asking ? ( if the British nationality is greater than Nigeria nationality! ) is he so myopic to recognize the fact that he didn’t travelled with Nigeria identity but with his British identity.
Rueben Abati is a politician and believe me, he's strongly working for Buhari. Is Abati a judge? Is Abati a lawyer? Anything that concerns about the Nnamdi Kanu or Igbo people, Abati is always biased. I have been following him for the past 8 years. He's a classic evil as well as Tundu.
You're 100% right, but God will surely put them on shame
100% correct
No lies, next you will hear is his joining APC.
You are right. He is a' sword '
Abata is mischievous and a useless journalist, is action and many others has emboldened the tyranny. Many of his indigenous residents in Ogun state are now refuging in Benin, never will he speaks about it but decided to play a good boy in the sight of his tyrannical paymaster.
All this fake journalists are the reason our country is in this mess today, thanks Barr Ejiofor God will is with you and Nnamdi Kanu
And y'all propagandists are holy saints 😳 abi?..Fear God ooo
I thought the journalist had to ask those hard hitting questions but unfortunately they didn't have the subtle techniques to frame the questions in such a way so that they don't look biased. Lawyers and journalists have been the bedrock of Nigeria opposition to the federal government.
How RUDE!!!!! Why address him as Ejiofor? He’s a well learned and has earned the title barrister especially when addressing him in public… please Dr Abati get your acts straight! Ask the correct questions, respect others and address them accordingly. You can call him whatever you like in private, just do the right thing in public please!
These Arise has lost my vote for the conduct of this interview. Will be doing pass unless it Ojie.
Ojie is an FG sympathiser. Watch her analyses on Sunday Igboho
do you see why i don't even like Dr Abati for once, he's was busy asking if British citizen is more superior than nigerian citizen....Just imagine.... what did him want to hear from Lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor ?
Did you see his life. He keep on repeating it. I never like the way he talks, but Rufai is cool.
@@chinweelizabethagwuncha6129 yes my sister, Rufai is a nice man
He is very stupid
@@izuchukwukennedyinnocent yes
Abati is one of our problem in this country
He is too biased. I don't like him. I prefer Rufai
Abati always ask the right questions and we the igbos don't want please we dont want abati to interview any ipob members please
@@drinkskhalifa7153 you are not an igbo man, so stop claiming that.ewu
They're not even interested of him being alive, but Chukwuokike abiama pass them.
Bless you lawyer. The details of his medical report is his privacy and should be kept as such. Foolish questions
I wish Dr Abati and Tundun could drill Buhari during their last media interview with him the way they drilled this barrister. This is despite the fact that Buhari was giving off point answers to their questions, there was never a follow up question to interrogate him further. Instead Tundun and Abati were just looking like 'zombies' while the man said all his unimpressive 17th century stories. Now Dr. Abati wants this lawyer to his answer question that he himself knows the obvious answer. Yeye people! Mr Rufai, you have my respect anytime. Spot on!
Don't mind them
I still wonder why Rufai was left out of something that important... I think the media play more politics with the government.
@Mr. Abati, I think being a British citizen is neither superior nor less than being a Nigerian citizen. Mazi N. Kanu was travelling on a British passport, therefore he should have been treated as a British citizen while in Kenya period
They know the answers. they just wanted to hear the lawyers response..thus hinting the opponent on how best to hit him in court
Don't mind him. He knows, just trying to fill in the gap.
Don't mind him. He knows, just trying to fill in the gap.
If you are not qualified to be Journalists better don't appear to the public than coming out making case for the Government
Akpati means box in igbo,he isa Fools.
surprised that the arise TV team, didn't condemned the invasion/attack with intent to kill on kalu's home, or maybe they see it as a normal thing, just because he's an Igbo, too bad
Yoruba media and hypocrisy. The only reason they are now talking about Kanu issue is because their son Sunday Igboho is at the receiving end if it now. All these years they never care to inquire what and why Kanu jumped bail. They will tell you he ran away. Did Sunday Igboho stay when DSS came shooting in his house? No, anyone with common sense will not stick around.
Jonalism is another problem we have in Nigeria
I was even disappointed at that female reporter who made it seem like the invasion of his house and killing of 28 innocent youth is payment for flouting bail conditions. SHAME!
Mr Ruben if you know any benefit of being a Nigerian citizen, share with us 😀. That question is better left rhetorical! or take a stroll to the british embassey and see the applications reol Nigerians to 🏃♀️
Duh!!! Abati is in a world of his own, totally oblivious of the exodus of many Nigerians desperately and willingly abandoning your Nigerian citizenship.
I am sad for this lawyer for wasting his precious time with pro buhari’s.
None of the guys wanna listen to his part that the federal government invaded Kanu’s resident in other to kill him
Whether they listen or not that’s not going to save Nigerian government. If they love Nigerian government they should come to court.
I'm also dissapointed with Tundun Abiola whose dad suffered the same fate. Look at her hate. Sorry sorry.
the federal govt don't need to invade his house in broad day light if they really want to kill him.His rights were violated but i doubt they were at his residence to kill him.that will be a lie.
@@stonekase you don't know what to say oga
@@stonekase and they ended up killing 28 people and his pet dog because they invaded his home to merry with him.
Mr Ruben, for the fact that he has the British passport at the point of arrest makes the citizenship of the nation that he is having their passport superior in this case.
Now you are claiming him to be Brit when you have always criticised Britain for your problems. Igbo people are some of the most crafty people on this planet.
Mr Abati asking a stupid question, "is being a British citizen superior to being a Nigerian citizen?" Mr Abati, let’s just say there is no difference between the 2 but even if Nnamdi Kanu is a citizen of Mongolia, Kenyan government has no right to hand him over to the Nigerian government without the knowledge of the Mongolian government and in the case of Kanu as a political detainee the government would not agree to hand over their citizen to a state that is hostile to the said citizen.
The truth is that kanya were bribed they never known that they secret will fail and the plan of the Nigeria is to kill him but due to how the news went viral they rushed him to court if not how can they take him to court without informing his lawyer not even to let him know that his client has been arrested which country does that
If fulani-led government of Nigerian does not respect the rights of the people to undertake a referendum, the people must exercise their sovereignty and break away. The violence perpetrated by this government against the people must be resisted. Self-defense is the peoples' right.
And it's inevitable
Barrister Ijeofor you are a true servant of God, and God will greatly reward you here on earth and in heaven, I respect you for you are indeed a faithful servant, God bless you and your all 🙏
Mr Abbati and Arise News, DO YOUR WORK AND STOP POLITICAL FOLLOW FOLLOW
Not surprised that all the irrelevant questions all came from Dr Abati. He was not asking a question so to speak but telling the laywer what he thinks.
Exactly I despise the way that man thinks, he is just too biased. He doesn't ask u a question he tells u what he thinks just like u said and again that makes the person being interviewed not to tackle "a question" but end up trying to counter or address Mr Abati's assertions. That's clear biased journalism, very evil I must say.
You're not been fair to yourself abati is very good and he ask the most important questions which the clueless lawyer have no idea
@@drinkskhalifa7153 ...clueless? And you are "all clues". May be you should be in court to stand for the government. How cheap talk is!
@@kelechukwuumerah4643 government has already won the war , kanu is nothing but trouble agitator and he must go down
@@drinkskhalifa7153 you are the only one who is clueless here
"Being a British citizen or Nigerian citizen....is British citizenship superior"? -Dr Abati's question to Lawyer Ejiofor.
I think we all know the answer, in view of how Nigeria treats its citizens.... "The proof of a pudding is in the tasting"...? Perhaps @arise should take a Public Pole. The answer is not in some dump patriotism but in how people feel about their country. What is the benefit of being a Nigerian sef?
Abati is looking for appointment. He’s disgusting
I have both passports and know the answer but will not say which is superior
I have been in England since the biafran war and l have dual nationality. The benefits of being Nigerian far out weighs those of being British. The British will never ever accept you as an equal. Nigeria might have problems galore but it's my home. If had the same opportunities ie.work ,security etc. I have in England l would swim the Atlantic to get home. The reason l am in the west is purely financial the way of life in Nigeria is natural and close to nature. Oh! did l mention the British are mostly pagans. Astigfirallah.
@@frederickuzokwe1271
Well, your adoption of England as "home" proves my point exactly. Home is not where you're born, HOME is where you're supported....where you thrive. "Acceptance" in present day Nigeria is an illusion. If it's "Home", we'll all gladly go back!
@@coachlarae my sister you miss my point. The point is
1/ English will never accept you
2/l have never met an immigrant that loves the way of life in England more than their place of origin ...even if its war torn Iraq
3/the pound is king!
4/l love Nigerian women, music, food and nature
5/l am a Muslim and like being amongst fellow believers so we can reinforce one another
Barr Ajeofor pse get a team of passionate lawyers who are humane to fight this casexwith you. We love you but get your squad too as many are ganging up.
Mr Reuben Abati or what ever you called yourself, i never expected you to asked questions like an un train & hypocracy journalist. You know the right question to ask, pls ask very well ok
Seeing mr abati's bias throughout this interview wasn't even surprising lol.He prides himself in being a "journalist",but true journalist aren't supposed to be biased in anyway shape or form and must always be objective.Where was this same consistency and energy when buhari was interviewed? Mr Abati you done a great disservice to journalism in this interview
My own is let nothing happen to him
If they wanted to eliminate him they could have done so in Kenya or wherever and not bring him to Nigeria.
@@adedamolaadenihun yea because them are even afraid of eliminating him , that guy is too much so it won't be easy for them just to do that. It has a weighty consequence
At this juncture let invite Governors Godw Obaseki's lawyer. They're miracle working lawyers
What did his lawyers do?
Our leader will get a fair trail, WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST
How can Nnamdi kanu been blindfolded????
Do you think your enemy, has sympathy on you?
Because he is a criminal
God bless u sir 4 telling d truth.
They really suffer him May God keep him healthy
Barrister you did well by calling him Mr Ruben Abarti as well. Who dash him Doctor! Since he does not deem it fit to address you as a Barrister.
I pray they will not come for this lawyer again
Our Legal Counsel Ejiofor, I thank God for your love and courage to make sure MNK will sure be set free no matter what. God is with you.
Mr Ejiofor, I believe this matter is in court. Isn't it preemptive to speak on this issue. Or aren't you giving your opponent clues of what you have up your sleeves?
Thank alminthy GOD bless you sir
God no go shame biafra lie lie lie, God no go shame Mazi Nnamdi Kanu 🙏🙏🙏
Dr. Ruben Abati just need to stop being one-sided in any sensitive issues.
Bro Ejiofor, May almighty God bless you,you really gave it to them as it is ,daddy
The are afraid of barrister ejiofor IPOB lawyer this lawyer is very intelligent
😁😁😀😁 very funny kanu should get a good lawyer I swear this lawyer is confused
Dr. Ruben Abati, it sounds like you already took a side on this case. This is fine and permissible but I'm not sure how expedient it is as a journalist. However, as a lawyer yourself it is clear to you and I that according to the Nigerian constitution Nnamdi Kanu is presumed to be innocent until he is justly and fairly tried in court. Let's wait and see.
Time will tell. The whole world is watching 🤔
God must save Nnamdi KANU ,inJESUS AMEN
Abati always making senseless point, u will suffer very soon
Rueben Abati, going by your position here , it is obvious he can't get fáir trial because you speak as if you are the court while you are not.
Abati death will be too useless!
My father had die many years ago, let me hear word
Anyways, I am not surprised at the approach these three guys took....intellectual Wickedness! It's Sad! But the masses are wiser now☝🏾
God be with you my lovely brother,
God bless you barrister lawyer Ejiofor
The best of arise news I have ever listened and watched. EJIFOR (BR) I RESPECT YOU.
Tundun is just a disappointment her hatred for MNK is clear for everyone to see and her support for the status quo is also very clear..
I still respect RUFAI👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
R u b b i ish
Everybody’s now claiming to be a lawyer even those who never practiced law for a day, yet they all claim to be lawyers. Abati speaks more like an aide to Abubakar Malami and Buhari than an unbiased journalist throughout this interview. When will Nigerian journalists stop being biased? Very unfortunate
They are part of the problems
Reuben Abati read law in 1999 at the Lagos state university while Tundu Abiola is a UK trained lawyer so, they are not claiming anything but actually knowledgeable in the law.
Hello DR ABATI God will bless you,. Please been a Journalist and been a LAWYER Remember that the Craetor will let every one will pay for all things you do on the Heath.
It's really good to have a lawyer you can burst of anytime and anywhere you needed him around you....
I can’t stand that Akpati guy. He never once addressed him appropriately as Barrister Ejiofor. Always cutting him off.
My own questions are:
1. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ACCUSSED'S FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT - TO ONE CALL?
2. IN WHAT DEMOCRACY IS AN ACCUSED ASKED TO ADDRESS THE COURT WITHOUT HIS LAWYER (unless he chose to)?
C'mon guys, we're just fooling ourselves - THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY - unless it's the Nigerian Brand of it!😃
I am not a lawyer but is it to right to discuss a case in court ?
Did the Barr advice his client to stick to what he signed in his bail conditions ?
... Don't meet with more than 10 person's at a time ?
From the way Kanu was behaving, I’m suspecting they injected him with something dangerous.
Goo on lawyer you will wing this case because you know the right law
The truth is always bitter, look how this man speaks all the things that’s needed, awww God is really good,
The hope in Nigeria...l have listened to lawyers concerning Mr Kanu and l have been mighty impressed by the courage and equity of certain lawyers. I am Igbo but l disagree with Nnamdi kanu agenda but l defend his right to say what he wants. God please protect those that are just and make Nigeria a Just Nation.
It’s the only trees who hears the announcement of the dead and stay, when humans being hears that , they will be kill , the person will run.
Arise crew all have mean faces in this interview.
You guys should please save your integrity.
Good lawyer
May God help us
@Lauraqueen F Exactly my thought, I despise the way that man thinks, he is just too biased. He doesn't ask u a question he tells u what he thinks just like u said and again that makes the person being interviewed not to tackle "a question" but end up trying to counter or address Mr Abati's assertions. That's clear biased journalism, very evil I must say.
May God bless and protect Nnamdi kanu for us ooo
If Abati and Tundun has this energy when they were interviewing Gumi things will have been better now it comes to Igbo they have big mouth.
On Nnamdi kanu we stand
Kanu is a freedom fighter. Fighting the occupants
3 Notorious journalist
...Nnamdi Kanu allegedly "jumped bail" while Nigeria government jumped court trials....
Thank you Barrister Ejafor
God bless you and be with Bar Ejiofor.
Remember Yoruba media were against the igbos. Regardless the case We shouldn’t be surprised at all. They had already convicted Namdi Kanu on their Media.but enemies will catch them one by one.
Who Nigeria citizen help. What do you have as a Nigeria
ITS OBVIOUS REUBEN ABATI IS NOT A GOOD PERSON HONESTLY
Yeah, Tundun is back to the fold.
Welcome back Tundun, hope you're alright?
Efulefu that's what you are
This interview shows how evil nigeria state is so sad.
We should understand that as a counsel, He should have some reserves as to answers to some of the questions you're asking
Don't mind ignoramuses, Mr. Perfect Akari. They don't know he can refuse to answer some personal questions.
Ejiofor, this is the time we need u most. God of Biafra will be with u.
This Apkati lacks the ethics of interview! Rufai, always cool headed and intelligent. Well packaged Rufai
Mr Ifeayi Ejiofor should get other team of lawyers and SAN to pursue the case.
Why?
They are all very afraid. Someone like OLISA AGBAKOBA would have done a more better job. But this guy is trying very well, and I think he's got other team behind him.
@@CharlesDike-je4zv who told you that Ejiofor is not doing well in this case ?
@@stanleyokeke8215
My guy I didn't say so. Did you even read my submission well?? He is doing well no doubt, but am saying more ferocious lawyers can be behind him. Do you see how that bastard called Reuben (Apkpati) was tossing him around by testing his legal prowess. It was Rufai that gave him a leeway, but he didn't grab it to decapitate Reuben and Tundun off
I hope the likes of Abati will wake up from their slumber because I believe Nigerian children born after this generation will not be haters like this generation. They'd be free spirited individuals loving and letting others to shine. Dr Abati doesn't want all the young Stars working with him to shine on. But shine they must in Jesus name.
