JOHANNESBURG (GA) — Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, a British Nigerian Biafra political activist, is currently Africa’s most admired man.

 

The name ‘Nnamdi Kanu’ became an oft-mentioned name in every household in Nigeria in 2014 during which he stepped up the campaign for the Republic of Biafra, a defunct state reinstated in Nigeria after the civil war.

 

Mr. Kanu, whose full name is Nnamdi Okwu Kanu, quickly became a public figure around the world after being arrested by the Nigerian government for alleged treason on October 14, 2015 and detained for over a year, despite various court orders which ordered his release. He was later released on bail after much pressure and a series of protests where government forces killed dozens of his supporters- members of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB).
