Fighting Corruption with Propaganda & Falsehood: $2trillion (N400trillion) Recovered Funds By EFCC In 12 Years
(Onitsha Nigeria, 3rd February
2016)-The advocacy attention of the
leadership of International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule
of Law (Intersociety) has, again, been drawn concerning a public
sensitive report credited to the Attorney General of the Federation &
Minister for Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN, to the effect that “the
Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had in the past 12 years
since its creation, recovered over $2trillion or N400trillion from Nigeria’s
criminal groups and public office holders”. The perfidiously false
report was published in the front page of the Vanguard Newspaper of today,
being 3rd of February 2016.
The AGF was copiously quoted by the Newspaper’s Ikechukwu
Nnochiri as having made the disclosure in a keynote address presented at the
‘First Annual Conference on Financial Fraud, Cyber-Crime & Other
Cross-border Crimes’, in Abuja, yesterday (2nd of February
2016. The AGF was specifically quoted as saying: “available reports
showed that in the past 12 years, since the establishment of EFCC, more than $2
trillion has been confiscated and recovered”. Full details of the AGF’s
unpardonably falsified report are: http://www.vanguardngr.com/ 2016/02/money-laundering-efcc- recovers-looted-2trn-in-12- years/.
We had in the course of issuance of this statement, gone
extra mile to confirm the authenticity of the AGF’s blundered figure
and his authorship; leading to the management of the Vanguard
Newspaper informing us this morning (3rd of February 2016) that
“the AGF was not misquoted” and that “it was contained in his
written keynote address” delivered at the said Abuja function. They also
informed us that “ before its publication, the reporter (Ikechukwu Nnochiri)
was specifically requested to scan and forward the said keynote speech
containing the “blundered version and figure” and he forwarded it immediately,
leading to the publication and its front page use.
We have severally stated publicly and still state that
“corruption is first driven by moral decadence or integrity crisis” and that
those wishing to fight the scourge must first be morally upright or integrity
rewarding. That is to say that “he or she that sets to go to equity, must go
with clean hands at all times”. A man or woman that shaves his or
her armpit hairs is not expectant of armpit dirt and offensive odour. A woman
who wears a stained white brazier does not wear short sleeve gown to an
occasion.
One of the greatest threats to fight against corruption is
falsehood and propaganda. Another is unclean hands of those fighting it and
those supporting those fighting it (i.e. CSOs and activists). One, out of
plethora of governance undoing of the Buhari administration is its adoption of
propaganda and falsehood as an official policy. A government that uses
propaganda and falsehood as its official policy has inexcusably exposed itself
before the citizens and international community as a government founded on
turbulence, brigandage, rascality and violence. A grave danger of using
falsehood and propaganda as official policy is that government utterances will
always be taken with a pinch of salt and made summarily dismissive even if any
is grounded on reality.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Nigeria’s Economic &
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was established through an Act of the
National Assembly of Nigeria, dated 13th December 2002 (now
refers as “EFCC Act of 2004”) and it started its operations in 2003
or during the second term of former President Olusegun Obasanjo. The creation
of the Commission was partly in response to pressure from the Financial Action
Task Force on Money Laundering(FATF), which named Nigeria as one of
23 countries non-cooperative in the international community's efforts to fight
money laundering. The successes recorded by the Commission including loots
recovery and effective and maximum use of technology and institutional
mechanisms reached their peak between 2004 and 2007. The fame of EFCC and
others like NAFDAC, got shrank from 2008 and upwards; owing to election and
appointment of corruption friendly public officials as new set of heads of
Nigeria’s Presidency, AGF, NAFDAC, Police and EFCC.
Just yesterday, 2nd of February 2016, we
released a facts laden report of our recent investigation on the state of
public budgets, loans and expenditures in Nigeria in the past 12 years;
covering January 2005 to December 2016. The expenditures covered the 36 States,
the Federal Government, the Niger Delta, the Federal Capital Territory and the
country’s constitutionally recognized 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs). At the
end, we found that the totality of public expenditures in Nigeria in the past
12 years, captured by various FGN, States, FCT and Niger
Delta budgets and LGAs allocations in Nigeria in the past 12 years
(2005-2016) stood at $600billion or N118.2trillion.
We also found that Nigeria had in the past 10 years
(2007-2016) borrowed a total of N10trillion or $50billion from local and
international lending institutions. Of $600billion or N118.2trillion of the
public expenditures under reference, only 30% of same or $180billion
(N36trillion) was spent on capital projects. One of the reasons behind this
special investigation is to checkmate the antics of some propagandist
government officials and their unprofessional media acolytes, who recklessly
and mindlessly inflate and corrupt figures and other sensitive public matters
here and there for purposes of settling political scores and misleading
Nigerians and members of the international community. The report is published
on the electronic media below.
Using the foregoing indisputable statistics, therefore, it
is totally correct to say Nigeria and its federating units including States,
LGAs and Federal had never generated half of “$2trillion (N400trillion)” since
the return of civil rule in June 1999; not to talk of the EFCC recovering
“$2trillion in the past 12 years since its creation”.
Even if the total public expenditures of 2003 and 2004 are
added to the total public expenditures of $600billion or N118.2trillion under
reference; covering January 2005 to December 2016, the total public
expenditures including loans and generated funds; budgeted, allocated and
expended since then is not more than $700billion or N140trillion.
Our questions to the Honorable AGF and the Federal
Government are: where did “the
$2trillion (N400trillion)” the EFCC recovered in the past 12 years come from?
Where is it kept? Was it recovered from “looted” personnel cost budgets or
overheads cost budgets? Or was it recovered from meager $180billion
(+$30billion allocated for capital expenditures for 2003 and 2004) meant for
capital expenditures from January 2005 to December 2016? Was it also recovered
from oil bunkering? What are Nigeria’s total public expenditures from its three
tiers since 2003? How much was recovered from “criminal groups” as well as
“from public office holders”?
We challenge the AGF as well as the authorities of the
EFCC to rubbish this position of ours by providing publicly concrete answers to
the above questions and graphic details of how, where and when the EFCC
recovered “$2trillion or N400trillion from criminal groups and public office
holders” in the past 12 years, as well as statistical breakdown of the amount
and how it was recovered, kept or spent. Also, “in the past 12 years since its
(EFCC) creation”, requires detailed specification, as in from what year to what
year did the 12 years cover? We will not be surprised if defense of
“being quoted out of context” is invoked by the AGF as an escape route. If this
type of unpardonable falsehood can be dished out by the country’s law-lord or
chief law officer, then Nigeria is doomed irreparably!

BIAFRA: FAMILY WRITERS
INTERVIEW WITH PRINCESS CHIDINMA KANU
Wednesday, 3 February 2016
INTERVIEW WITH
PRINCESS CHIDINMA KANU BY IBEH GIFT AMARACHI AND SOMTOCHUKWU OF FAMILY
WRITERS/BIAFRA JOURNALIST
Princess with
member of Family Writers
|
Princess Chidinma Kanu is the Sister of the Leader of the indigenous People
of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. She was interviewed by Somtochukwu Isaac and Ibeh
Gift Amarachi of Family writers following the detention of her Brother the
Leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra and Director of Radio Biafra/Biafra
Television Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE BIAFRA STRUGGLE?
It is in the Blood. You don't just wake up and join a struggle. There must be the passion. My heart bleeds whenever I wake up and see underage Biafran Children suffer in the street and do not have a choice; because they have to help their Parents put Food on the table. It hurts me a lot. The marginalization of Biafrans, really hurts me.
A LOT OF SPECULATIONS HAS BEEN MADE AS TO WHY THE VOICES OF "THE KANUS" HAS NOT BEEN HEARD, NOT UNTIL THE DETENTION OF MAZI NNAMDI KANU. DID "THE KANUS" JOIN THE STRUGGLE BECAUSE OF THE DETENTION OF MAZI NNAMDI KANU'?
When it comes to a struggle, there are a lot of Silent Dedicated and Passionate people who have done a lot, more than people you get to hear from on a daily basis. We have been doing everything within our reach to uphold the Biafran struggle.
THE NIGERIA GOVERNMENT CHARGED MAZI NNAMDI KANU FOR TREASON, LABELLING THE AGITATION OF BIAFRA A TREASONABLE OFFENCE. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE CHARGES?
It is very funny. How can they charge him for treasonable offence? When under the International Law and UN Charter Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,did absolutely nothing. Nigeria is also a signatory to the UN Charter. Everybody saw Mohammadu Buhari's testimony calling and soliciting that Palestinians should be granted Freedom. So why can't same happen in Nigeria? Nnamdi Kanu went there with David Nwawuisi that was charged for treason as well. David Nwawuisi is a Young Engineer who was asked to mount Transmitters and the mounting of transmitters was labeled a treasonable offence. But Bokoharam has been going around killing everyday and the President of Nigeria Mohammadu Buhari has called for dialogue and wants to grant them amnesty. They are killing unarmed Biafrans who their only crime is calling for the release of their Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Very sad.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE CLAMPDOWN OF UNARMED BIAFRANS JUBILATING OVER THE RELEASE OF MAZI NNAMDI KANU?
Honestly it is sad and I am extending my heartfelt sympathy to the Families of those who loosed their Children as regards to the protest. Unarmed Biafrans jubilating for the release of the Leader Of The Indigenous People Of Biafra, who were killed by the Nigeria force,i will say to them that, in their deaths Biafra must be restored. We will always remember them and their families should know that, they may have died but their deaths is not in vain. I want their Families to know that, in us they still have their Sons and Daughters back.
A LOT OF BIAFRANS WHO ARE BITTERED OVER THE KILLINGS OF UNARMED BIAFRAN PROTESTERS ARE PLEADING THAT THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM NIGERIA FORCE. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON IT?
In my opinion we should continue doing non-violence, but this is for me and I don't know about the others. I don't have the power to stop millions of IPOB members. According to the UN Charter the Indigenous People of Biafra have the right to Self-Defence. But my piece of advice will be to follow and to adhere to the instructions of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. In other to prove to the World that we are not terrorist, the more they are killing us, the more we are coming out. How many Biafrans will the Nigeria Government kill? I am calling on the United Nations, Amnesty International, World Leaders, Human Right Activist all over the World, Men and Women of good conscience, to come to the rescue of Biafrans because the Nigeria military want to terminate Biafrans from the surface of the earth. The genocide that happened in 1967-1970 is repeating itself again and I am believing that Eze Chukwuokikeabiama will never abandon us.
SOME NIGERIA POLITICIANS AND THEIR ALLIES STATED THAT, THOSE AGITATING FOR BIAFRA ARE MISCREANTS AND ATTENTION SEEKERS. WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO THAT STATEMENT?
They are talking garbage. It is rubbish they are talking about. We know what we want for sure. Biafra is our goal and aspiration and there is nothing anybody can do about it. We have the right to call for the sovereign State of Biafra. We don't have good roads, we don't have anything. There is no infrastructure in Biafra, which you all know. For how long are we going to suffer? Someone has to rise up and say no to injustice against the Biafran people and that is what we are doing collectively and believe you me, the Biafra that we are agitating for must be restored. Most of this people tagging Biafrans to be miscreants and fraudsters are the people who have embezzled the public funds. They are people who have sold their conscience for a Sachet of Water. They are the people who cannot stand for the kids. They are the people who does not care for the poor masses. We don't have the basic necessities of Life in Biafraland. There is no water and I can go on and on, but what I have to say in regards to that is, they should be ignored because they are evil. They care about their immediate families and not other people.

We have always live together as one people, with the Ijaws,Igbanke,Ibibios,Efiks and other Biafrans. It was the divide and rule system that the British taught Nigeria Government that disintegrated us. But thank God for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the Leader Of The Indigenous People Of Biafra and the Icon of Radio Biafra,who has been able to enlighten us more and I think our people have assimilated it and we have known that we are one people. We might not be united some years back, but not anymore. Since the inception of Radio Biafra, a lot has been exposed to us. And if we don't love ourselves as they claimed, then why are we dying for the sake of Biafra and the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu? We are very much united.
FOLLOWING THE DEMOLITION OF PROPERTIES BELONGING TO BIAFRANS IN LAGOS STATE, WHAT PIECE OF ADVICE DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE TO BIAFRANS INVESTING IN SOUTH-WEST AND NORTHERN PART OF NIGERIA?
I am advising them to come back home and invest. The Nigeria Government has abandoned us in terms of everything, so they have to come back home and invest. Let them make home their headquarters, because if anything happens, Biafrans are always the number one target. Our people should be able to learn and not wait for somebody to always speak to them. These incidents have been happening for years, the KANO RIOT and a lot of them. Yorubas and Arewas have been issuing out warnings. But,let's not forget that the Divide and Rule system forced our people to leave their homes, in search of greener pastures. We don't have infrastructures, we have millions of unemployed graduates in Biafraland,but I'm begging them to come back home.
WHAT PIECE OF ADVICE DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE TO BIAFRANS PROTESTING FOR THE RELEASE OF LEADER OF IPOB AND THE RESTORATION OF BIAFRA?
Biafrans see what we are passing
through in Aba, those protester that were arrested by the zoo soldiers, see
military punishment on civilian.

Intel told
me that Gowon told Buhari never to go to war again with Biafra their children
are ready and deadly then before. No more help from western, never pray for
war, Boko Haram are child play..

This made in BiafraLand, which one
did Nigeria produce? That is to show the whole world how formidable we Biafrans are!
|
Biafran
Girl very beautiful, full of strength
|
Animals after drinking you go and shut innocent protesters . |
My advice to my Brothers and Sisters, Mothers and Fathers, to my fellow
Biafrans is, that they should keep on keeping on and remain resolute about the
Sovereign State Of Biafra. I am asking them to be formidable and join hands to
make sure that Director is released. "Onuru ube Nwanne
Agbanoso"(Don't run away when you hear the cries of your Brother), that is
our custom. They should remain resolute and at the end we must win. Nobody gets
Freedom on a platter of Gold and if we don't make these sacrifices, we can't
get Biafra. Be resolute and at the end, we must win.

S-h-a-m-e-f-u-l: Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) Vows To Probe Cadets Who Assaulted Civilians (Video). NIGERIA
by optimism 4th February 2016 18:42 6 views0
The Nigerian Defence Academy has reacted to the video that went viral yesterday showing army Cadets torturing a young man for saying a female officer was beautiful. According to a statement by the Academy, preliminary investigation so far shows that the incident happened somewhere in Lagos in 2014. The statement reads;
“The attention of The Nigerian Defence Academy has been drawn to a trending video showing Cadets beating some persons. Please note that NDA is investigating the incident. Preliminary investigation has confirmed the incident to have occurred in 2014 somewhere in Lagos while the Cadets were on break. NDA as a responsible institution saddled with task of producing future military leaders will not in anyway tolerate such unruly and flagrant mistreatment of Nigerians. The NDA under current leadership has addressed most disciplinary loopholes. Further investigation is continuing. Please assist and circulate”.
Thanks. Nigerian Defence Academy.
Biafra war was
fought and only witnessed by the people in Biafra land.If another war arises,
the West will feel it and they will see it.The North will see it because it is
going to be fought in these regions.
Biafra have come a long way, even our dead brothers and sisters who died during the 1967 Nigerian Biafra civil war their blood is still crying for we to be freed, we need our liberty,every thing has time, the time has come for we to be set free,from the boundage of Nigeria.
EVEN IF BIAFRA
HAVE NOTHING THEY SHOULD LET THEM ENJOY THE PEACE GOD ALMIGHT GAVE TO THEM LONG
GO. ANY MAN ANY WOMAN OR POWER STANDING AGAINST BIAFRA AND NNAMDI KANU I SAY
HOLY GHOST FIRE.
From the deepest part of my heart I want Biafra to be
given freedom. There shouldn't be any dialogue in Biafra issue as their hearts
are set on freedom.
we have all that we need to make up a nation. Biafran
means come and join not you mùst join. Niger delta is nigeria creation as
nigeria is British factory. Well you must have seen the map of Biafra in the
past, one thing is certain, we are not going to leave even a single piece of
our land. If the so called niger delta want to remain in nigeria they are free
to remain in nigeria. We Biafrans we are not looking for population, we have it
enough. If you are asking because of oil and gas, you can find much more oil
and gas in Imo, Anambara, Abia ets. We have all we need to makeup a country
without the so called niger delta. If they feel they are Biafrans, they can
join by there own will not by force. and we are not begging any body to join
us.
Innocent biafran citizens are dieing in the hands of
Nigerian security agents and Nigerian president refused to comments on this
issue.biafran leaders should address us on this issue,we can't contenue like
dis.yes they hav the guns but we want freedom
I dn't blame hausa and yourubas the two lazy people in
nigeria british merged with biafra under lord lugard 1914.the almagamation is
over everybody should go their way.we are not in the same culture and
ideology.that pharaoh ad nebucchar knwn as buhari and obasanjo should expect a
football without a referee and lastman.in horro champions league that's abaut
to come.
The blood of almost 3.6m killed from 1945 till 2016
will not allow that until what they paid with their lives is accomplished,and
that is biafra,over three hundred years the blood of scotish people shared hv
not given up for the scotland to be free,talkless of biafrans who are been
killed unjustly from the time of d coming of the british untill now,that the hausa
fulani hv taken over from them and coninued were the british stopped,nigeria
will never know peace as long as they donf want to shake out the evil
intensions
Every biafra should prepared for War load your Gun
with enough bullet. i can not be slave to stupid hausa fulani.
This is not the
time the world was only getting information from the hands of the leaders alone
things has changed the whole world know about Nigeria and they know the truth
about Nigeria. This is not the time that Russia,Britain,Egypt,Niger,Spain and
all the Arab Nations came to fight for Nigeria. This time everybody will test
the bitterness of war.Let me stop so far.
Since the terrorist religion is looking for followers,
maybe they are buying faith with money in Asia. I don't think that there is any reasonable Igbo that can convert to religion of terrorist. zoo animal why Igbos
are not converted to Muslim in the terrorist country call zoo nigeria? We have
told you people that we are 2 different people. We don't want to coexist with
terrorist, we don't want to coexist with sharia, we don't want to coexist with
animals that don't want western education. we don't want to coexist with arewa
terrorist factory, we don't want to coexist with animals in the zoo call
nigeria. we don't want to coexist with hausa-fulani terrorist or yorubastards.
we don't want to coexist with eternal beggers. By the way why the arewa
terrorist and yorubastards shed tears once they hear BIAFRA? Why the zoo and
the animals like you in the zoo are afraid to stay on their own? so animals
like you in the zoo call nigeria know that they can't do without the BIAFRANS?
if the animals like you in the zoo nigeria can do without the BIAFRANS, why not
leave BIAFRANS alone? Biafrans have lost faith in the zoo call nigeria. Instead
of wasting your time calling names, it's better for animals like you to start
learning how to live without BIAFRANS.
Nigeria is a nonsense country that any sensible person
can not accept to be regard as his country. The fact is that the Biafrans has
lost faith in nigeria. nigeria is an Islamic Country but nigerians seem to be
ignorant and we Biafrans Christians are not ignorant. There is Sharia law side
by side with constitutional law making it two countries in one. Recently PMB has
signed with saudi arabia Islamic country military cooperation. I don't know
what ordinary Biafrans has to do with this nonsense. Boko Haram in the north
are sponsored by AREWA elites and these people has been kill and continue
killing Christians in the north mostly Biafrans. I don't know how an ordinary
Biafra will be one with Sharia. The armies and navy of northern extraction
don't hesitate to shoot at unarmed protesters people they pretend to be their
citizen. nigerians war will do no one any good. nigerians should tell your
Daura Secret service to release Nnamdi Kanu and organise a referendum that will
permit the Biafrans to exit peacefully. You can not continue to shoot my
brothers and sister, mothers unarmed and you expect me not to pickup arm.
nigerians we can't continue to be peacefull while your army are busy shooting
at my brothers and sister, mothers unarmed. nigerians nobody has divine right
to monopolize violence. It seems like nigeria is calling for violence and war.
nigerians are happy because the people that their army are shooting are Igbo
Biafrans. By the time this rain will start falling, it will beat the sheep and
shephard
I'm happy na that people are getting convinced that
biafra have come to stay ,the should give us referendum that is all we need
from Nigeria. This time all will die not only Biafra but Arewa and Oodua too,
for we are determined.
The truth is that we are not one and we are not made
to be one. this is the speech of a northern elite. It's better we go our
separate ways now that the amalgamation contract has expired.
Unfortunate that old unrepentant wicked devil is not
ready to stop his wickedness and allow their long time slaves to go, he fought
the first war against Biafra with the help of the whole world this time he is
going to fight it alone, fools read the tide of the time, " BIAFRA or
nothing.
Biafra have come a long way, even our dead brothers
and sisters who died during the 1967 Nigerian Biafra civil war their blood is
still crying for we to be freed, we need our liberty,every thing has time, the
time has come for we to be set free,from the bondage of Nigeria
Obasanjo,where were you when
fashola were deporting Igbos from lagos,why talking all these rubbish now,let Nigeria government go to hell with their stupid employment and promises.
BUHARI WAS
SMUGGLED OUT OF KENSINGTON CLOSE HOTEL LONDON VIA THE BASEMENT LAST NIGHT AS
ANGRY BIAFRAN PROTESTING THE ILLEGAL INCARCERATION OF OUR DEAR LEADER NNAMDI
KANU LAID SIEGE.
Angry Biafrans blocked Buhari from entry into the Kensington Close Hotel where he was billed to address Nigeria Community in the United Kingdom. Unknown to Buhari and his people, angry Biafrans rushed and blocked him from entry as he entered the lobby of the hotel. It took the intervention of the metropolitan police to allow him passage after persuading Biafran to calm down. This disorganised and affected Buharis program as he could only spend about ten minutes in the supposedly town hall meeting. While Biafrans waited outside the hotel entrance for Buhari’s exit, his aids pleaded with the metropolitan police to ask them to leave. The police rebuffed them, letting them know that these people have right under the law to stay where they wanted to. Afraid of Biafrans on his way out, he has to be smuggled through the basement of the hotel. Buhari must let Nnamdi Kanu (Nwachineke) go before it is too late! FREEDOM BIAFRA

IPOB directorate accuses Judge of bias over Kanu’s bail denial
Source VanguardBy Nkiru Nnorom & Nwabueze Okonkwo ONITSHA—The directorate of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has accused Justice John Tsoho of the Abuja Federal High Court 3 of bias for ruling that their leader, Nnamdi Kanu will not be granted bail based on reasons that Kanu was a threat to national security; that if released, he might commit the same offence again and that there was a probability that he might jump bail because he possessed dual citizenship. Faults reasons for bail denial In a press statement issued yesterday from its London headquarters, via e-mail, signed by its spokespersons, Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya, IPOB said for denying Kanu bail based on these three cardinal points, the ruling of the judge was inappropriate, biased, wrong, and must be overturned by an Appeal court Judge. According to the statement, “While the first and the third reasons are very clear, we are at loss with the second reason and do not know exactly what the Hon. Justice meant by “might commit the same offence again. “To the best of our knowledge, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has not even been tried in court not to talk of being convicted to have warranted the judge saying that ‘he might commit the same offence again.’ “Therefore, we do not understand the offence he was found guilty of committing and for which he will likely commit again if released, as Justice John Tsoho mentioned in his ruling.” The statement asked rhetorically: “Is there a possibility that Justice John Tsoho misspoke or that he never actually uttered this travesty of a statement? On the first reason adduced that Kanu was a threat to national security, we are yet to get detailed information on what the Judge meant by ‘threat to national security’ because we know that Kanu is not associated with Boko Haram or any terrorist organization and as such, we, again are pushed to believe that Justice Tsoho misspoke. “Finally, on the third reason, we are shocked to hear that a denial of bail will be based on the accused person’s dual citizenship. Even though the Judge did not mention the other country to which Kanu is a citizen, we know he was referring to Britain. But we also know that there is extradition agreement between Nigeria and Britain and extraditing Kanu to Nigeria should he flee to Britain will not be a problem for the Nigerian government, so long as the extradition agreement between the two countries is still intact.”
Cameroonian
separatist group throws weight behind Biafra, enters alliance with agitators
“The name Ambazonia is gotten from the Ambas bay in the Bight of Biafra.
Southern Cameroon occupies the largest portion of the Bight of Biafra. And they
equally want to pull out from Cameroon. We have shared common history as they
were administered alongside Eastern Nigeria under the NCNC led by Nnamdi
Azikiwe. Our last leakage is Biafra’s coastal line. With the help of Rufasca,
there is hope for the people of Bakassi,” the BNYL National President stated.A Cameroonian separatist group has thrown its weight behind the agitation for Biafra in neighbouring Nigeria, News Express has learnt. The group, which goes by the name Rufasca and is working for the independence of the people of Southern Cameroon, has reportedly entered into an alliance with the Biafra Nations Youth League (BNYL), one of the groups currently campaigning for the resuscitation of Biafra Republic, which existed from 1967 to 1970 before surrendering to superior federal forces. “Rufasca is seeking to collaborate with us in the best interest of the people of Southern Cameroon otherwise known as Ambazonia,” BNYL National President, Comrade Prince Chimezie Obuka, told News Express. “Rufasca has not only allied with us, but they are now part of BNYL representing the interest of Ambazonia. With them in the movement and the BNYL at large, the Nigerian Government will find it difficult denying Biafra access to the sea,” Obuka said. He disclosed that a Rufasca delegation will attend the BNYL Congress scheduled to hold on February 27, 2016 in Ikom, Cross River State. Comrade Obuka welcomed the alliance with Rufasca, explaining that the people of Southern Cameroon and Eastern Nigeria share a common history.

Gov Okorocha implicated in human
trafficking mess
– Governor allegedly collaborated with Kosovo, Turkey, Croatia and other countries – NMA believes the building of 27 new general hospitals in the state are evidences – Governor’s aide says case is old and is being investigated by the DSS
Ihedioha
Slams Okorocha Over Sacking Of 3000 Imo Workers
Ihedioha Slams Okorocha Over Sacking Of 3000 Imo Workers Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state has been accused of allegedly collaborating with Kosovo, Turkey, Croatia and other countries to carry out human organs trafficking.
This
accusation was made by the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), through the
chairman of the Private and General Medical Practitioners in the state, Dr
Philip Njemanze, Nigerian Pilot reports.
Njemanze,
who spoke during a press conference after an emergency meeting of the
association in Owerri, the state capital, said: “For the first time in human
history, a government has declared itself an organ trafficking cartel. Imo
state government is using the state health facilities to facilitate organ
trafficking network.
“Foreign
collaborators of the state government from Turkey, Kosovo, Croatia and others
are already here in Imo to perfect creation of the network. It is an
international network with Rochas as its local head. A former prime minister of
Kosovo is the head of organ trafficking in Europe and he is a friend of
Okorocha.”
The
aggrieved medical practitioner also alleged that Governor Okorocha’s recent
trips to Turkey, Kosovo, Croatia and other Latin American and Asian countries
as well as the building of the new 27 general hospitals in the state, are
testament to the fact that the governor is party to organ trafficking business
in the state.
When
contacted, Sam Onwuemedo, the governor’s senior media adviser explained through
a text message that the allegation “is an old story that is being handled by
the DSS.”
This
allegation is coming following reports in the state that a refusal of the
governor to recall the 3000 workers he allegedly sacked will lead to a total
shutdown of activities in the state.
According
to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), there would be a total shut down of Imo
state once the 14-day ultimatum issued to the state government to recall the
sacked workers and tackle their unpaid salaries and other benefits expires.
President of Nigeria Union of Petroleum
and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Mr Igwe Achese, a member of the 6-man action
committee set up by NLC to handle the Imo crisis, told Vanguard that all
measures had been put in place for the planned action.

BUHARI WAS SMUGGLED OUT OF KENSINGTON CLOSE HOTEL
LONDON VIA THE BASEMENT LAST NIGHT AS ANGRY BIAFRAN PROTESTING THE ILLEGAL
INCARCERATION OF OUR DEAR LEADER NNAMDI KANU LAID SIEGE
Angry Biafrans blocked Buhari from entry into the Kensington Close Hotel where he was billed to address Nigeria Community in the United Kingdom. Unknown to Buhari and his people, angry Biafrans rushed and blocked him from entry as he entered the lobby of the hotel. It took the intervention of the metropolitan police to allow him passage after persuading Biafran to calm down. This disorganised and affected Buharis program as he could only spend about ten minutes in the supposedly town hall meeting. While Biafrans waited outside the hotel entrance for Buhari’s exit, his aids pleaded with the metropolitan police to ask them to leave. The police rebuffed them, letting them know that these people have right under the law to stay where they wanted to. Afraid of Biafrans on his way out, he has to be smuggled through the basement of the hotel. Buhari must let Nnamdi Kanu (Nwachineke) go before it is too late! FREEDOM BIAFRA.

This is what
the text of the circular says to Martin Schulz, President of EU in case you
cannot see the tiny print and photos incorporated on phones:
Martin Schulz, President European Parliament 2/5/2016
@EP_President @MartinShulz, @MartinSchulz, @EP_President Federica Mogherini, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security @FedericaMog Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General United Nations @BanKimoon_amdg
President Martin Schulz:
On December 4, 2015 OEAS issued a demand for a snap
referendum in 90 days. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/…/biafra-oeas-demands-snap-re…/ In
addition to calling for the release of all Biafran political prisoners, and a
snap referendum held in 90 days for Biafra’s independence, the OEAS had earlier
called on the European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and
Security to use her office to help bring their struggle to fruition.
The situation is deteriorating and violence against
the Biafrans is escalating. Many Biafrans have reached out to me about the lack
of resources, the continued marginalization. I have contacted the United Nations
World Food Programme which is currently evaluating the needs to mobilize
resources in this critical situation. Many deaths have occurred and injuries
inflicted since that time of the EU calling for a referendum in 90 days
including a seven year old child and a young man protester gruesomely beheaded
in a circle of jackals for carrying a Biafran Flag. Protesters have been
advised that the military will take action against them for protesting in this
democracy “Nigeria.” The student protesters have not engaged in violence
whatsoever but have maintained composure in the face of enticement and
entrapment to jeopardize the referendum. They have endured their fallen
colleagues departure and increased oppression as retaliatory measures increase
as a strategy of intimidation.
This week alone many calls have
taken place from the United States as well as People all over the World
reaching out to the US Government, United Nations and European Parliament
concerning the snap referendum Biafra. We are lobbying with the People of
Biafra for this snap referendum. The deadline according to my calculations is
rapidly approaching 3 March 2016 as this is 90 days from the demand which was
granted. President Buhari to our collective knowledge has not made any gestures
towards abiding by the call of the EU for the referendum. The Biafrans demands
an internationally recognized referendum and we want this for them as well.
Protesting is not a crime and it is not punishable by death other than in a
draconian Kingdom of Nigeria. I have never heard of protesters being shot and
killed in a democracy ever before in my life. Tragic endings to beautiful
lives. Why? Because they cried out from oppression, captivity and dreamt of a
better life. Please accelerate the process. Time is of the essence. We have
witnessed videos and pictures of countless unarmed students injured as well as
dying in their own blood for exercising free speech in a peaceful protest. We
have seen gunshots directed at unarmed gatherings merely singing and
fellowshipping. We all beg you to facilitate this process in an effort to avoid
further human casualty.
'Revolution Is A Weapon Of Change ' – TB
Joshua
The founder and
general overseer of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations, Prophet T. B. Joshua,
predicted a revolution in Nigeria.
T.B. Joshua
In 2013, during
his Sunday service televised live via Emmanuel TV, the renowned pastor warned
Nigerians that the revolution would start when people take to the streets because
life would have no value for them any more.
“I am seeing a
revolution. When I say ‘revolution’ I mean every revolution starts by protests.
When it starts by protests, at that protest, the power can stop them. They have
the ability to stop them, but when it becomes revolution, no one can stop
revolution.
“Revolution
means everyone is ready to go for it. This is the one we are seeing in other
nations all over.
“I am seeing
people taking to the streets,” he said.
T.B. Joshua
noted that unlike with protests, revolution cannot be stopped because everybody
is ready to die.
“At the
beginning of every revolution, it looks like protest. It might be stopped at
the beginning. Eventually, it will become so big that it cannot be stopped.
This I see happen. Nigeria, pray! All over the world, it will move from one
country to another,”he said.
However, the
prophet noted that God gave Nigerians a way out: job creation for the youth and
the creation of a new social value system.
“You know the
reason why the youth turn to thugs. People in power in political offices are
not ready to retire. Nobody is ready and the youth – they are jobless. They are
supposed to be included in the system, because when the people up there have
not retired, there are no offices for youth, new people, new intake.”
“No matter the
education the youth have, they feel they have no place in politics and there is
no job to keep them busy. There are must be a new orientation,” the prophet concluded.
According to
T.B. Joshua, in politics young people should be considered for important
positions such as assistants to elders.
“While the
elders are ministers, the youth should be junior minister. This little example
of being junior ministers can change the situation of things. Tell you
president. Tell your leaders. Tell your prime ministers all over the world. I
every department of government or politics, the youth should be junior
assistants to the leaders of such departments,” he stressed.
Finishing his prophecy, he said: “Revolution
is a weapon of change that is coming. This is a vision. I am not preaching or
teaching. This is what I saw.”
POSTED ON FEBRUARY 6, 2016 UPDATED ON FEBRUARY 6, 2016 President Buhari of Nigeria was smuggled out of KENSINGTON CLOSE HOTEL LONDON via the basement last night as angry BIAFRAN protesting the illegal incarceration of their leader Nnamdi Kanu laid siege. Angry Biafrans blocked Buhari from entry into the Kensington Close Hotel where he was billed to address Nigeria Community in the United Kingdom. Unknown to President Buhari and his people, angry Biafrans rushed and blocked him from entry as he entered the lobby of the hotel.

Buhari is gradually going the way of Yaradua, that is how it all started. During Yaradua regime, every time we will hear that he went for medical treatment this continues until when the situation became worst. At a time,we don't hear from our president again and he is not in the country ,rumor begin to spread that the president umaro musa yaradua is dead. One funniest thing is that Hausa people who feel that they are smart begin to hide it not knowing that anaghi ekpuchi afo ime aka. One faithful day we heard that the president is returning to Nigeria from his medical trip, reaching to the airport Nepa e wee oku na di whole Nigeria (black out) and this is how they carried the corpse of Oga yaradua enter A so Rock.After all said and done, lo and behold Yaro is dead. They are doing that so that good luck will not assume office as president that time. Now they have come again this time with another tactics of "VACATION" thank god the one of yaradua has thought a lesson. I know that buhari is not coming back to that sit again and they don't want to open up to us. The way of yaradua is loading......................10% remaining . Do you agree?
Fear is not in my dictionary ask those that knows me well i lead by example as our leader Nnamdi kanu two things are involved in this struggle life and death and i choose two of them we must continue.

05/02/2016 #FREE NNAMDI KANU AND BIAFRANS FREEDOM PEACEFUL PROTEST OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA (I.P.O.B) AT THE GOVERNMENT HOUSE IN THESSALONIKI/NORTHERN GREECE.
Press Release by the Directorates of States for the Indigenous People of Biafra.
DR. IFEANYI ARTHUR OKOWA AND HIS DISJOINTED UNDERSTANDING OF THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE NATION OF BIAFRA.
On Wednesday, February 3, 2016 during his first interactive session with journalist at the Government House in Asaba in Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa made the following statements;
“Delta State has never been, and is not part of the South East. Biafra agitation, wecriticize it. Anioma land as it is said, was part of Bendel State; we were part of the MidWest State, we have not been part of the South East. So obviously, we cannot be said to be part of them (Biafra). We may speak a similar language, but we are not part of the South East. We were part of the Mid-West, now we are Deltans.”
Dr. Okowa, who is the current governor of Delta State, was just two days short of his 8th birthday when Yakubu Gowon-led Nigerian Armed Forces invaded Biafraland on July 6, 1967. But considering the fact he attended the famous Edo College in Benin City in the 1970’s, he should have learned a bit about the history of his own people and the Nigerian war of genocide against Biafra. The statements of Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa indicate that he is either pretending not to know the history of his people or he is making such statements to please his Northern Nigeria friends and supporters. Is Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa saying that Biafra is all about the South East? If so, is he asserting that Capt. Anuku, Col. Mike Okwechime, Col. Joe Achuzia, Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu,Col. Conrad Nwawo, Col. Ben Nwajei, and other Biafrans from the present-day Delta State were recruited into the Biafran Military as mercenaries? Even the name “Anioma”, does that name sound like Oduduwa, Bini or Arewa to Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa? Furthermore, does the first name of Dr. Okowa which is “Ifeanyi” sound like a Hausa name? Because Yakubu Gowon forced the people of current Delta State into alliance with the Binis and named them Mid-West, does that remove their Biafranness? Perhaps, we would like to remind Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa that in Delta State, there is a community called “Igbo bi na uzo”which is shortened as Igbouzo or anglicized as Ibusa, which is where Prof Pat Utomi comes
from. As someone from Owa Kingdom, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa should know that his roots is to ancient Eri Kingdom and genealogically, he is from the Igbo-speaking area of the nation of Biafra. May we ask Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa who was elected the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo on November 29, 2008?
Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa is deepening the identity crisis engendered on the so-called Niger Delta or “South-South” by the British and Northern Nigeria which has culminated in sowing seeds of discord, hatred, and mutual suspicion among fellow Biafrans. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa by his misguided utterances has shown disdain for God’s creation because he is mocking God’s efforts in making people of the same descent to speak the same language. It is laughable that Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa is behaving as if he will be the person to determine for all Biafrans, to be or not to be part of their God-given nation of Biafra.
We therefore, advise Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to desist from mocking and challenging God and His creation. We are hereby educating Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa that Biafra’s footprints cover the entire South East and all of the so-called South-South with the exception of Edo State but with the inclusion of Igboakiri or Igbanke as is presently called. We further educate Dr. Ifeanyi
Okowa that Biafra also includes Idoma land and Igala land.
Finally, we advise Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to concentrate on his primary function of lifting up the quality of lives of the Biafran people in the present-day Delta State while we steadily and successfully go through excision of Biafra from the British contraption called Nigeria. The restoration of the Nation of Biafra is unstoppable, unquenchable, irrevocable,irreversible, and a continuum. We are not going to leave any Biafran behind and that includes the entire Delta State. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa should better shape up or ship out!

IPOB REPLIES GOV OKOWA: Biafra is older than Nigeria
Posted By: Ndubuision: February
08, 2016In: Biafra News, Critical Point Analysis., Foreign News, News, News Flash, Nigeria News, World NewsNo Comments
The Customary Government of Indigneous People of
Biafra (IPOB) yesterday frowned on the statement
credited to the Governor of Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, that Delta State is
not part of Biafra.
Governor Okowa had last week warned pro-Biafra agitators that no part of his state was part of the Biafran republic being canvassed, nor would he cede any part of Delta State either, to the cause. A statement signed by the IPOB media representative, Asuzu Chinedu Peters, obtained by The AUTHORITY, advised Governor Okowa to stop re-writing history and misleading the public. He said that Okowa was not speaking for the people of Delta but for himself and probably for some cabals as Biafra existed before Nigeria. The statement read in part: “Governor Okowa’s position is unfortunate and misleading and could not represent the opinion of millions of Delta people spread across the world. “As far as we are concerned, Governor Okowa is speaking for himself and few cabal(s) in Delta State eating fat from the blood of the poor masses. “We want to remind governor Okowa that Biafra has existed before Lord Luggard founded Nigeria. The decision on who joins the new Biafra should not be made by the governor but by the people of which majority are hungry and poor. “Going down the historical lane, Nigeria was created out of three main Kingdoms (nations) as clearly shown in Maps of Africa before Berlin Conference 0f 1884-1885 (the place where African boundaries were destroyed). “The three Kingdoms are Biafra, Benin and Zamfara. Governor Okowa should go and study the map of Africa before 1884, to advise himself before making public pronouncement on Biafra issue. “The British had the Protectorate of Biafra with its headquarters at Fernando Po and Protectorate of Benin before 1914.We want to restore our indigenous identity and jettison the creation of white men. “It is also important to clarify that the people of Delta State have inalienable human right to agitate for self-determination outside or inside Nigeria. “The Customary Government of Biafra has been on the forefront of the struggle to achieve Biafra through the due process of both local and international Laws. “For the sake of clarity, the court case with Suit No FHC/OW/CS/192/2013 in Federal High Court, Owerri between IPOB and Federal Government of Nigeria is still on course. “Our ideology and adopted road map for pursuing and achieving self-determination for Biafra hinge on Rule of law, Diplomacy, Civil Rights (Human Rights Movement), Mass Media, Political, and every other legitimate process,” Asuzu Chinedu Peters concluded. The AUTHORITY had last reported Governor Okowa has saying that “Delta State has never been, and is not part of the South East.” He said advised pro-Biafra agitators who want Delta State to be part of Biafra Republic to forget their ambition because no part of the state will be ceded to the proposed Republic. The governor said although certain parts of the state speak similar language with leaders of the Biafra State promoters, “this does not mean that Delta has become part of the struggle or the South East region.”
He narrated how Delta was formerly a
part of the then Mid-Western Region, then the defunct Bendel State, before it
was created alongside Edo State.
According to Okowa, “Biafra agitation, we criticise it. Anioma land as it is
was part of Bendel State; we were part of the Mid-West State, we have not been
part of the South East. So obviously, we cannot be said to be part of them (Biafra).
We may speak a similar language, but we are not part of the South East. We
were part of the Mid-West, now we are Deltans.
CHILLING: Domination Plot Of The ‘North’ Against The South East/South
South Revealed
By Doyin Ajayi | Sub-Editor - Nov 29, 2015
General Muhammadu
Buahri (centre) at an APC Presidential Campaign Rally in Kano State, Nigeria on
January 19, 2015 | Juju Films
A
shocking yet revealing phone conversation between two politicians has gone
viral.
In the
audio conversation, which is currently circulating on BlackBerry Messenger and
Whatsapp, a Northern politician identified as a People’s Democratic Party
member is speaking with another politician from the South West by name, Kunle.
The
20.38-minute audio recording, which appears to have been made by one of the
parties or an eavesdropper, the Northern politician, identified simply as
Alhaji, reveals the sinister plot of the Northern politicians to attack the
business interests of the people from the South East and South South region of
the country.
Our
investigations have led us to the source of the audio, who does not wish to be
named. The Trent can authenticate that the recording is a real
telephone conversation that happened just after the inauguration of
of President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29, 2015.
Alhaji
takes time to reveal the plot of the Northern elites to frustrate people from
the South East and South South of Nigeria and revealed that there is a Satanic
alliance with some elements of the South West to also join in frustrating the
South Easterners and denying them their rights under the constitution to live
anywhere they wish and do business anywhere in Nigeria.
The
Alhaji reveals that this plan to ‘destroy the Igbos (which means anybody from
the South East or South South)’ is central to the strategy of the All
Progressives Congress. He also reveals that former Governor Tunde Fashola, of
the APC, used the last four years of his tenure in office to execute this plot
to destroy the business base of the “Igbos”. He also revealed that the plot
includes arson against the markets dominated by “Igbos” in Lagos and denying
“Igbos” business licences, even though they qualify for them.
Alhaji,
who obviously did not know he was being recorded, went on to reveal a deep
hatred by the Northern politicians for the people of the South East and South
South. He revealed that if President Goodluck Jonathan had won the March 2015
elections, “they” would have caused Boko Haram to “spread to Kano, to Gombe, to
Sokoto, and all over” in order to frustrate Jonathan’s government.
This,
in essence, confirms suspicions that Boko Haram and the carnage that the
Islamist terrorist group has unleashed on the people of the North East and
other parts of Northern Nigeria is a political tool in the hands of the
power-hungry elite of the North.
He also
mentioned that Jonathan would probably have been killed in office if he
remained as President beyond 2015.
Alhaji,
who is well spoken, revealing that he is part of the Northern elite made it
known that the Northern politicians in the APC do not trust Imo governor,
Rochas Okorocha and former Rivers Governor, Rotimi Amaechi. He says, “they are
just there, nobody trusts them”. Such comments are instructive especially
against the backdrop that Amaechi is acknowledged by chieftains of the APC to
have bankrolled 80% of Buhari’s campaign.
In
detail, Alhaji reveals that ‘the North’ preferred former Kano Governor, Rabiu
Kwankwaso because he is radical and had begin to implement some of the plans of
alienating people from the South East and South South from Kano. He said that
had it not been for Bola Tinubu’s support for Buhari, Kwankwaso would have won
the APC presidential ticket in the party’s primary of 2014 held in Lagos.
Alhaji
goes on to reveal some long-standing ethnic suspicions between the major ethnic
groups in the country. “Who doesn’t have ancestors? Don’t we all have
ancestors?” He asked in frustration. He then went on to complain why
attempts to buy land from the Igbos ends in rejection “because the ancestors
say they shouldn’t sell the land.”
He also
claimed that the gang-up against President Goodluck Jonathan in the last
election was also religious. According to him, the Muslims in the South-West
teamed up with the Muslims in the Northern part of Nigeria to vote out
President Jonathan because he was a Christian who empowered the people of the
South East, against the original Northern domination plan of keeping the Igbos
under subjugation.

DISJOINTED UNDERSTANDING OF
BIARA
CAN DANIEL WILSON BE RIGHT ON THIS!
On Abacha, Buhari, IBB, OBJ and Abdulsalami. Our people have suddenly become anti corruption crusaders because of the bad belle syndrome that prevails. Despite all the money Abacha stole, no northerner, not even, Buhari, had accused, nor spoken ill against him. In fact our present president has nothing but praises for him. Despite all the money IBB stole from the gulf war oil boom, nobody had questioned him or disgraced his lieutenants just to make a point. Despite all the obvious money OBJ stole to become one of the richest men in Africa on retirement from govt, when all he had was 2700 naira in his account just before he became president, no Yoruba man is calling for his head. Despite all the loot Abdusallam gathered in less than one year in govt, the country did not cave in, the world never came down and all hausas kept mum. Just because a south south man became president by divine intervention of God which is against the will of the northern oligarchy and probably tasted the national cake that's even baked and prepared in his backyard, hell is being let loose and his blood brothers are been used against him to disgrace and bring him down Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way in support of corruption if proven but we should understand these games and plans by the north as the real threat to our nation's survival and condemn it rather than insult and blame Goodluck Jonathan!!! - Hope For Nigeria LIKE www.fb.com/hopefornigeria Page, if you have not done that already.

BREAKING: NIGERIA
GOVERNMENT'S PAID HACKERS TO HACK RADIO BIAFRA WEBSITE EXPOSED Featured
04 February 2016
Reliable information reaching the Editorial Board of Radio Biafra has
confirmed the planned attack by the Nigeria government on Radio Biafra website.
NBC have a new
budget. They have now gone to the internet service providers to bribe them to
pull Radio Biafra site down again stating that Radio Biafra is broadcasting
'hate speeches". The only thing Nigeria government is good at is
"bribery an corruption" Everywhere they gothey try to corrupt the agencies with bribes and
corrupt practices.
We were not
there, but our God, Chukwuokikeabhiama was there to defend our course. The
internet service provider told the Nigeria delegation to "go to hell"
as their operations have a laid down guidelines and no ones tells them who to
allow or not to allow online. Shamefully NBC delegations left. But they did not
stop there as their budget for Radio Biafra attack must be spent. Their second
move was to bribe a telecommunication company to help them "hack"
Radio Biafra website which was as well rebuffed by the telecom company and they
(the company) had to alert the Editorial Board of Radio Biafra and the
Directorate of State of IPOB to let them know of the plans and intentions of
the Nigeria government.
NOW BIAFRANS
YOU KNOW! Be on the alert from now Biafra internet engineers. Our internet
wizards standby. Should anything happen to Radio Biafra signals and websites,
CRUSH AND CRUMBLE Nigeria internet services to the ground.Maybe its time
we start showing the ZOO a little of what we can do.
Here is copy of the letter from the agents of Nigeria government to our internet service providers... http://www.radiobiafra.co/
Logs or
Evidence of Abuse: The owners/operators of this radio station have used it to
promote ethnic hatred and violence in Nigeria. They continue to use it to set
members of one ethnic group (Igbo) against their fellow Nigerians. The station
is illegally operated by an unrecognised organisation which calls itself IPOD.
For four days, violent protests have erupted across South East Nigeria because of the lies and hate speech broadcast through this radio station, this has led to the death of several people. The owners are bent on achieving anarchy in Nigeria and there is a potential that it would lead to the type of genocide and ethnic cleansing witnessed in Rwanda in 1994. The leader of this group is a manipulative criminal who uses religion to manipulate his gullible audience. Please shut down this website.
It will be recalled that the Nigeria
government spent a better part of it Ministry of Communication's budget last
year (2015) in an "operation jam, crush and neutralise" Radio Biafra.
But by the end of 2015, NBC is yet to achieve that feat. To achieve their
jamming of Radio Biafra program last year, the Nigeria government bought over
Satelink of Israel, the company carrying Radio Biafra short wave signals, and
they removed our signals from their satellite. [However, as a punishment
Chukwuokikeabhiama removed Satelink satellite from the orbit and it got missing
till date] In its place Radio Biafra floated another short wave stations that
broadcasts for three hours every day instead of two hours earlier with satelink
and two cable stations instead of one, when they tried to bribe 'Tunein' [our
signals carrier on cable network] to bring Radio Biafra signals down. So on the
whole, all their expenditure and investment to jam and neutralise Radio Biafra
came to naught. Now this is 2016 and NBC have a new budget.
Buhari, Nigeria's president who is now on
sick leave (as his brother Late Shehu Musa Yaradua {good man}was) has passed
judgement on the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and
handed the script over to Justice John Tsoho to read. Biafrans are aware
of this and we will resist that come 9th of February, 2016. We wish to use this
opportunity to remind and inform the United Nations that the Nigeria President and
his government have concluded plans to classify "the rights of Indigenous
people to self determination" as promulgated by the United Nations Charter
on the rights of Indigenous Peoples as a Treasonable Felony. If the United
Nations should allow Nigeria to jail Nnamdi Kanu who is seeking the right of
the Indigenous people of Biafra to self determination, then, the "UN
charter on the rights of Indigenous people to self determination" would
have been undermined.
The time to step in and stop Nigeria
government on its track is now. United Nations should not allow Nigeria corrupt
government of General Mohamadu Buhari who is an illiterate and an abuser of the
rule of law, (having disobeyed several court orders from courts
of competent jurisdiction) to abuse the Charter of the United Nations
by classifying the actions of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB, as Treasonable
Felony when in the actual fact, all Nnamdi Kanu was doing was in line with the
guidelines approved and provided in the charter. Should the United Nations be a
father who sends his son to make the fire at the field only to draw down the
rain? The world is watching. Humanity is watching.

BUHARI CALLS NIGERIANS CRIMINALS: Is it
not very much obvious, that this very dullard of Daura called Buhari needs that
certificate he doesn't have? Offcourse is not just necessary but very much important,
that this cattle rearer and dullard of daura needs to go back to Sambisa
forest. But, that is not the bone of contention in my write up. What caught my attention,
was the fact that when Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the Leader Of The Indigenous People Of
Biafra called Nigeria a Zoo, Buhari and his cohorts charged him for treason. But
that same dullard gave Nigeria Citizens an International award "NIGERIA
ARE CRIMINALS". In other words, he is tagging Nigerians to be touts. If
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu committed treason by expressing his anger over the atrocities
and level of corruption in Nigeria, why then is Buhari not charged for treason
for calling Nigerians Criminals? Is calling Nigerians criminals,not a hate
word? My goodness me.. To be candid, Buhari's regime is the best time to
restore Biafra and Biafra must be restored.... #FreeNnamdiKanu.. #FreeBiafra..
The new look of the notorious criminal in
the zoo called Nigeria.. He is a crook, a pedophile, and embezzler,
who does not know his left and right, he has no certificate, yet he is a
President of so called Nigeria….. the Country that has expired since 31st December 2013.
Buhari is a man who does not respect the rule of Law in Nigeria, the worse
President the Nigeria has ever produced.
Some of these babies survived against all
odds….they NEVER FORGOT!! WE WILL NEVER FORGET! ACCELERATE THE SNAP BIAFRA

I never called for Nnamdi Kanu’s hanging – Okorocha
ON JANUARY 20, 20166:42 PM
Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/okorocha-denies-calling-for-kanus-hanging/ I never called for Nnamdi Kanu’s hanging – Okorocha ON JANUARY 20, 20166:42 PMIN NEWSCOMMENTS 1.2k Shares585 Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, on Wednesday described as unfounded and malicious the allegation that he called for the hanging of the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. Gov. Rochas Okorocha Okorocha in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, said the report published in the social media was a mere attempt to malign his image ahead of the 2019 general election. The statement reads: “The attention of the Imo State Government has once again been drawn to another fictitious allegation in the social media claiming that the state Governor had called for the hanging of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB). “Governor Okorocha does not know Nnamdi Kanu. He reads about him on the pages of newspapers like every other Igbo man or Nigerian. Whether he lives or dies, does not have any value to add to Governor Okorocha’s life including his politics. So one begins to wonder why Governor Okorocha should call for his hanging. “If he dies, will Okorocha become Director of Radio Biafra or IPOB leader? You ask again, whether one million Nnamdi Kanu could constitute any threat to Okorocha in anyway. The answer is obviously No. Then what is Okorocha’s interest in Kanu’s death or life that he would call for his hanging. “The elements behind this latest moonlight tale also claimed that the Imo Governor had made the call on January 15, 2016 in a meeting with what they called Igbo Elders’ Forum. “They did not mention the venue of the said meeting or those at the meeting. Incidentally, the same January 15, 2016 (Friday) was the day the Governor travelled out of the country for a brief vacation.”
****When
a great mind speaks, ORDINARIES always lost in translation****
Whenever Our Eminent leader Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu refer people's behaviour in Nigeria as that of animals in the ZOO, all
hell always break-loose but come to think of it, if nigerians are not animals
in the ZOO behavioural wise, how can any reasonable human being VOTED Buhari to
power, a man who could not PROVIDE a primary school cert!, a man who instigated
violence by threatening voters that if he didn't win a election, blood of
baboons and dogs will sock in bloods, a man who refused to appear before
Justice Oputa panel, a man who RULED nigerians with iron fist, caused hardships
and deaths of innocent civilians with decree upon decrees in the name of
discipline, a man who was in charge of PTF and $2.8 billion was unaccounted for
under his watch, a man who told Nigerians that killing of Boko Haram is fight
against the north, a man who caused the death of many youth corps members after
he lost election..... The list goes on and on.
This same man Buhari came out before
the world media to call Nigerians CRIMINALS.
Nnamdi Kanu is RIGHT because no
right-thinking human being will so sooner forget all Buhari's crimes and VOTED
for him, in fact; baboons and monkeys are better than anyone who voted Buhari
and indeed that person is a CRIMINAL.
I am a Biafran and I am not a CRIMINAL.
This is the real definition of "be fearless even
in the presence of you enemies"
Mazi
Nnamdi kanu has all it takes to be a leader. His charisma is incomparable. This
man have a Lion's heart, I have never seen his type before, have you heard or
seen such a man? "Protesting with handcuff on his own illegal detention at
the court". it's a pleasure that I came to know such a man during my time!
I love you sir!

and Army shot dead 8 persons in Aba while Abia state, Imo state, Igwuocha
coordinators including other members were taken away. They also took the
corpses without letting any one picture them.
In addition, the military also set National high school Aba ablaze and will tell the world that IPOB did it. The world must know the truth, including what Buhari and his murderous agents are doing in Biafraland.
The leader
of indigenous people of Biafra protesting being handcuffed and has every right
to do so!
Killed by Nigerian Military..
Biafrans in Aba.
Buhari is loosing control and lashes out by having ordered the killing of innocent Biafrans today, a day of peaceful protest over the ongoing pointless trial of Biafran leader Nnamdi Kanu. Buhari the archaic military General yearns for war with Biafrans as he knows the slaughter of Biafrans can not continue unpunished, and he pushes for a reaction from Biafrans to show the world he his just in their killing. Every humanitarian and person of reasoning must do something to prevent an unnecessary War by insisting the international community takes control of the situation now before its too late. Self defence is a human right. May the souls of the departed Rest in Peace. #Amnesty #UN#Biafra

A rare sight as prison officials always remove handcuffs from accused persons in the premises before they are allowed into the courtrooms.

He was also denied bail on submissions that would escape trial being in possession of a British passport and that the allegations against him are grave and a threat to national security.
The judge added that the rights of an individual does not supersede the peace and security of a nation.
Kanu in court
Kanu’s lawyer pleading with him to let his handcuff be romoved
The court reduced an application by Kanu for the release of his passports.
Kanu’s lawyer, Chuks Muoma had asked the court to release some documents belonging to his defendant.
Muoma had in an application prayed the court to release money and two passports – Nigerian and British – collected from the first defendant (Kanu) upon his arrest. He also objected to the application for a secret trial of his client.
But the judge, Tsoho in his ruling said the application lacked merit.
Tsoho said: “There is no doubt that the accused have been charged before this court. It is erroneous to say that application for the release of these documents should not be made to this court.”
Kanu appears in court
The judge however said that Muoma’s submission that evidences not listed on the charge can be returned to the accused person.
Quoting Diri, the judge said it is a mere conjecture by the defense to say that these evidences will not be used by the court.
He added that such applications can come after the prosecution has ended its case thereby allowing the defense to open their case.
The court further rejected the application for the release of the documents and adjourned the case to Friday, February 19 for hearing on the application on secret trial.

BREAKING! Biafra: Army Kill 4 Peaceful Protesters in Aba; Scores Tear-gassed, Arrested in Enugu
Biafra-Protest
The Nigeria Army have killed four unarmed Pro-Biafra protests in Aba. The heavily armed soldiers invaded National high school Aba where IPOB members were gathering for their protest, shooting live bullets at Biafrans which resulted in the death of four people. They also took away about 20 peaceful pro-Biafra protesters.
Recall that Aba is one of the cardinal place IPOB protest is billed to hold, and as at 9am people were already gathering in Aba for the peaceful protest. By 12:46, soldiers disrupted the peaceful protester in Aba, shooting sporadically at Biafrans.
According to an eyewitness: “In what appeared to be a war zone, six unarmed IPOB have been gunned down although not yet confirmed dead or alive. The soldiers who are very determined to carry on their genocide as commanded by Buhari have shown a clear intent to massacre innocent and peaceful protesters.”
Another protester and eye-witness, said three coordinators of IPOB have been arrested while every effort to rescue those gunned down failed due to the ceaseless shots at Biafrans by the military.
In a related development, Enugu is under heavy bombardment by Soldiers. Though no death has been seen but there is a heavy attack on peaceful Biafran protesters right now in Enugu. As the ongoing effort to clamp down on Biafran peaceful protesters which has resulted to the death of many protesters, There have been gun shots in the air though not as sporadic as Aba. Many Biafrans have been wounded by tear gas while some were beaten and arrested by a combined team of Nigerian forces.
An eyewitness at Aba protest ground said the following:
"Army man told me yesterday that reason why they withdrew them from north east to southeast is to kill any one who mentioned Biafra. He said that the orientation giving to them by Buhari was that since one of their main duty is to defend the unity of this country there is no need keeping them in the north, afterall boko haram is never a threat to the unity of Nigeria but Biafra.
Go and kill them without mercy, we can take care of bokoharams, Buhari told them. He said that am very lucky he is not with a gun, my life would have been wasted. The army personnel said they have come to revenge the death of their Boko Haram brothers on Biafrans."
BIAFRA OR DEATH YOU MUST CHOOSE ONE
no smoke with out fire Do you mean the family can not start killing the zoo force one by one? Do you mean no fight back? Do you mean we should just be looking like fools? You mean we can be taking them one after the other secretly? All this people dying is unfair. These are not the plans of Nnamdu Kanu. He said if his being arrested no one should border come to look for him. Dat we Biafra should declare him death and burn the zoo down. To all the executives arms, pls have a rethink. Sending our young soldiers to die on a regular basis is heartbreaking. Are we afraid of what will become. We ve to take our destiny and say enough is enough. Any death is Biafra. No be blood they their body. It's high time we go to protest with arms, it's time to take the bull by the horn. Enough of all this killings by the zoology army and police. Let us arise and face them once and for all, after all man die go women born another. No Biafra no peace. is everybody keeping quite,even UN? People lets pick up arms so that dey wil ask for peace and way out,by then peace keeping force wil com. in Nigeria where rule of law and justice does not hold, biafrans must consider arming themselves at least for self deference. I'm not happy for all these killings. They can't kill boko haram but strong in killing unarmed protesters and people want us to keep calm and watch all this calamities? No! I thing it's high time we repeat what happened in 1963 and see who'll retreat or surrender. Since Nigerians don't have conscience. Let them know that everyone is capable of handling arms; and not only millitary personnel holds arms period! If the UK and USA, the WORLD POWERS like let them ostracise the whole tribe in Nigeria by setting everyone ablazed, i don't care!
Should we remain
peaceful or go violet? Can we get Biafra,via Peaceful protest or violence? Does
the World understand peace or Violence? Does the Spirit of our killed Brothers
and Sisters,yearns for revenge through Violence or Peace? I throw that to
you,my Biafran Brothers and Sisters,as my heart craves for Justice.

Biafra: Buhari Ask Court To Conduct Secret Trial On
Nnamdi Kanu.NIGERIA
by optimism 9th
February 2016
The
Nigerian government has asked a Federal High Court in Abuja to conduct a secret
trial to cross-examine witnesses in the ongoing case of alleged treasonable
felony and other charges against leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi
Kanu.
Mr.
Kanu and two others, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi, are facing charges
of alleged treason, maintaining unlawful society, possession of firearms, among
others.
Counsel
to the federal government, who is also the Director of Prosecution in the
office of the Attorney General, Mohammed Diri, asked the court at the opening
of session to permit the conduct of secret trial for the protection of
witnesses.
Nnamdi Kanu at the Abuja High Court on 9 Feb 16.
But
counsel to the first defendant, Chuks Muoma, opposed the application for secret
trial, saying military personnel were already providing adequate security
during the trial.
He
however prayed the court to order the return of $2,200; N87,000 and two
international passports collected from Mr. Kanu upon his arrest.
Mr.
Muoma said the prosecution, despite collecting the said amount and items, had
deliberately avoided stating anything regarding them in its affidavit.
He
prayed the court to order the return of the item, stressing that the
allegations against his client were yet to be proven in court.
Nnamdi Kanu at the Abuja High Court on 9 Feb 16.
Mr.
Diri however objected, stating that the defendants had the right, as stipulated
in Section 10 (7) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, to ask for
their items, from the prosecution.
In his
response, Mr. Mouma said it is only the court that can grant the relief sought
by his client.
The
trial judge, Justice John Tsoho, ruled that the submission of the prosecution
counsel that the application for release of his client’s items should be made
to the office of the AGF was wrong.
Mr.
Tsoho noted that since the defendants had been brought before the court of law,
the manner of making the application for retrieval of items was duly made.
He
however ruled that since evidences were yet to be tendered before the court on
the matter, it would be improper to assume that the items were not important to
the prosecution.
Nnamdi Kanu at the Abuja High Court on 9 Feb 16.
“I hold
a humble view that just as the prosecution is not to be confined to the number
of witnesses it can bring before a court, its number of evidences cannot also
be limited,” said Mr. Tsoho.
Education:
Why South-west And North Should Be Worried
PunchNG: Last week, the 2015 West African Senior
School Certificate of Education result was released. The Punch chose to publish
the story with an attention-grabbing headline: “Again, South-East leads in the
WASSCE performance chart.” The report showed that Abia State dethroned Anambra.
The states were ranked according to the percentage that had a minimum of five
credits, including in English Language and Mathematics.
But the surprise in the report was that almost like in
2014, no South-West state except Lagos was on the top 10 of the chart. The top
10 states were the five South-East states, four South-South states and Lagos:
1st – Abia (63.94 per cent), 2nd – Anambra (61.18 per cent), 3rd – Edo, 4th –
Rivers, 5th – Imo, 6th – Lagos, 7th – Bayelsa, 8th – Delta, 9th – Enugu, and
10th – Ebonyi. Ekiti was 11th; Ondo was 13th; Ogun was 19th; Oyo was 26th;
while Osun was 29th. In 2014, the top 10 states were similar: Anambra (65.92
per cent), Abia (58.52 per cent), Edo (57.82 per cent), Bayelsa (52.83 per
cent), Rivers (52.78 per cent), Enugu (51.91 per cent), Lagos (45.66 per cent),
Imo (40.64 per cent), Delta (40.12 per cent), Kaduna (36.12 per cent). Ebonyi
was 11th with 36.05 per cent.
For 2014, the states with the least performance were
Northern states: They were Yobe (36th), Zamfara (35th), Jigawa (34th), Gombe
(33rd), Katsina (32nd), Kebbi (31st) Bauchi (30th), and Sokoto (29th). In 2013,
the result was similar: 28th – Katsina (10.45 per cent), 29th – Adamawa (8.75 per
cent), 30th – Jigawa (7.47 per cent), 31st – Sokoto (7.12 per cent), 32nd –
Zamfara (6.65 per cent), 33rd – Kebbi (6.30 per cent), 34th – Gombe (5.68 per
cent), 35th – Bauchi (5.28 per cent), and 36th – Yobe (4.85 per cent).
Someone from the South-East or South-South could see
it as a reason for chest-thumping, but for me, it portends grave danger. Why do
I say so? I will explain shortly.Those who had not been following the trend in
education could dismiss this as a flash in the pan. But it is not so. I have
followed the trend since the late 1980s. From 1996 when the late military
dictator, Sani Abacha, created 36 states out of Nigeria, the three states that
have been producing the highest number of applicants in the examination
organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board have been Imo,
Anambra and Delta.
The Guardian of August 26, 1999, page 31, had some
statistics about the 1999 UTME examination. It showed that the six states with
the highest number of applications were: Imo (44,274), Delta (36,375), Anambra
(34,206), Ogun (33,375), Edo (29,057), and Osun (22,950). Conversely, the
states that produced the least number of candidates were all Northern states:
Borno (1,572), Katsina (1,054), Taraba (882), Sokoto (782), Kebbi (794), and
Yobe (535). The Registrar of JAMB then, Prof. Bello Ahmad Salim, lamented the
poor showing of the Northern states, noting that the 65,000 applications from
the 19 states of the North were just 20,726 higher than the number of
applications from only Imo State. If Imo and Delta states’ applications were
combined, that would amount to 80,649 applications: over 15,000 higher than the
applications from the 19 states of the North.
In 2007, The Guardian newspaper of June 1, page 3,
published the results of the 2007 University Matriculation Examination. The top
six states with the highest number of candidates were Imo (93,065), Anambra
(64,689), Delta (61,580), Edo (57,754), Akwa Ibom (47,928), and Ogun (47,227).
The last six were: Kebbi (4,682), Sokoto (3,925), Taraba (3,832), Zamfara
(2,904), Jigawa (2,541), and Yobe (2,516).
For the 2012 results released by JAMB and published by
Vanguard of March 31, the top five states were: Imo (123,865), Delta (88,876),
Anambra (84,204), Osun (73,935), Oyo (71,272). The least five states were:
Jigawa (11,529), Kebbi (7,364), Yobe (6,389), Zamfara (5,713), and Sokoto
(5,664).
In the Unity School admission of 2013, the states that
got the highest cut-off marks were: Anambra – Male (139) Female (139); Imo –
Male (138) Female (138); Enugu – Male (134) Female (134); Lagos – Male (133)
Female (133); Delta – Male (131) Female (131); Ogun – Male(131) Female(131);
Abia – Male (130) Female (130). The states that got the lowest cut-off scores
were: Zamfara – Male (four) Female (two); Yobe – Male (two) Female (27); Taraba
– Male (three) Female (11); Sokoto – Male (nine) Female (13); Kebbi – Male
(nine) Female (20); Bauchi – Male (35) Female (35).
So, for those from the South-West and North who may
give the excuse of the South-East and South-South states getting these results
by the help of “special centres,” it is a case of trying to hide behind a
finger. Instructively, the South-West, which was the first to receive Western
education, and was ahead in education, has lost its place in education in Nigeria.
Something is killing the interest of the South-West children in education. The
six South-West states need to see this as an emergency that transcends party
affiliation. This scenario is a source of danger because the South-East and
South-West have been counter forces to each other. Whatever feat the South-West
produces, the South-East counters it, and vice versa. We can see it in the
literary feats of Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka, the football feats of
Shooting Stars and Rangers, the political feats of Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi
Awolowo, the academic feats of University of Nigeria, Nsukka and University of
Ife, Ile-Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University), and so on. This healthy rivalry
enhances stability, peace and growth in the nation.
But if this downward trend continues, in future, that
balancing of forces between the South-West and the South-East will no longer
exist. And given that the indigenes of the South-East and the South-South dwell
in large numbers in the South-West, a time will come when the South-West could
feel angry that the indigenes of the South-East and South-South are taking over
positions that the South-West indigenes should occupy in the South-West. This
may cause problems as witnessed in the xenophobic attacks in South Africa last
year. So, it is in the interest of all that the South-West stage a come-back in
education.
The case of the North is scarier. Many commentators
keep quiet about this worrisome issue because of political correctness, but
only someone who loves you can tell you that you have mouth odour. It is
dangerous that there are 10 million youths in the North with no formal
education.
The rise of Boko Haram has worsened a bad situation in
the North. The few who want to go to school are scared away by this
unconscionable terrorist sect.
There are those who have erroneously said that the
lack of interest in education in the North is caused by religion (Islam). But
there are many nations with high Islamic population even in West Africa that
embraced education. Furthermore, Northern states like Taraba, Plateau and Benue
have a predominantly Christian population. Yet, there is a low interest in
education there.
There is no proof that Northerners have lower IQ than
Southerners. All men are created equal. The prevailing environmental conditions
make the difference.
So, the quota system is an enemy of the North that
every Northerner who loves the North must speak against. Without competition
and challenges, there is no burning desire in man to excel.
Nigeria runs on a quasi-unitary structure with each
link coupled to the other. It moves as a unit. It can only move as fast as its
slowest link and perform as good as its weakest link. It is in the interest of
Nigeria that the fire of education is rekindled in the North. This will expand
the opportunities available for Northern youths and reduce the tensions and
suspicion that exist between the North and the South.
We must also jettison this failed
feeding-bottle federalism that we have and adopt true federalism that allows
the federating units to move at their own pace and be competitive. A country
that does not promote competition abhors excellence.

Television (IGTV) ICC COMMENCES INESTIGATION ON CRIMES
AGAINST HUMANITY ON BIAFRANS BY BUHARI, IG OF POLICE AND OTHERS More details has been released with respect to IPOB’s case at the ICC. According to the lawyers, Prof. Göran Sluiter and Andrew Ianuzzi, both international lawyers
representing IPOB, there were 17 victims cases which the lawyers
believe that the actions of Nigerian government and the leaders constitute crimes
against humanity.
The lawyers said that the following crimes were committed including murder, unlawful imprisonment, torture enforced disappearance, other inhumane acts, and persecution in a bid to stop pro Biafra protests. The 17 victims according to the lawyers would not be disclosed yet so as to ensure their safety and protect their privacy, their statements according to Prof.
Göran Sluiter and Andrew Ianuzzi, were
attached to the petition. The petitioners said the alleged crimes were politically and
ethnically motivated. According to Saturday Punch, “to
support their claims, the petitioners said they were relying on a selected
number of publicly available reports documenting Nigeria’s political background, the
Nigerian Civil War of 1967–70 (also known as the Biafran War), the recent and violent
crimes committed in South-Eastern Nigeria, the Nigerian Federal Government’s involvement in
those crimes (including its lack of any remedial action whatsoever in response to
the bloodshed), and the OTP’s preliminary findings with respect
to its ongoing investigation into the situation in
Nigeria.”(Source Saturday Punch) Details of the filings also shows that
the lawyers acknowledged they have the documents to show that 18
people were unlawful killed at Onitsha, Anambra State by the police and or the Joint
Task force over and during the Pro-Biafra demonstrations. These
killings were carried out in four different incidents which
occurred on August 22, August 30, December 2, and December 17 in the year 2015.
“Moreover, an additional five
individuals were reportedly killed by the police in Port Harcourt in November 2015.
And at least two others have reportedly been killed recently in Abia State. All the
victims were members of either IPOB or Movement for the Actualization
of the Sovereign State of Biafra MASSOB. The killings the
lawyers maintained were part of the widespread and systematic attacks by the Nigerian
Government against pro-Biafran activists and their sympathizers.
The ICC filing papers described the detention of Nnamdi Kanu the IPOB
leader as unlawful and mentioned the statement made by President Buhari during the
television interview when the president said that the Federal government would
continue to keep Nnamdi Kanu in detention despite the High Court ruling that he should
be released.
The papers also mentioned that so far
four arrests have been made in Anambra State, six arrests in Imo State,
eleven arrests in Delta State and one arrest in Abia state. The Nigerian Inspector General
of Police Solomon Arase was quoted as saying that all the arrested
persons would be charged for inciting violence. Sluiter is the Chairman of
the International Criminal Law of the Faculty of Law at the University of Amsterdam and
also a partner of the Law firm Prakken d’Oliveira Human Rights Lawyers. Ianuzzi is
a Human Rights Investigator and independent Legal Consultant.
The case is with the Office of the Prosecutor of the International
Criminal Court in The Hague Netherlands. The Prosecutor is currently conducting their
investigation,

Press Release
OUR RIGHTS TO SELF DEFENCE IS NOW
ACTIVATED
On September 9, 2015, the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) released a statement titled: “PERSISTENT
TERRORIST ATTACKS ON BIAFRANS BY THE NIGERIAN STATE.” In that statement, we
catalogued the deadly terrorist attacks meted out on peace-loving people of Biafra
by agents of Nigeria under the supervision and leadership of Retired Major
General Muhammadu Buhari who is the current president of Nigeria. We further
alerted the world that Buhari plans to provoke Biafrans into retaliation and
then turn around to tag IPOB as a terrorist organization and Biafrans as
terrorists. This was before the leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was illegally
abducted by agents of Department of State Services (DSS) on October 14, 2015.
Between October 2015 and February
8, 2016 more terrorist attacks were carried out on Biafrans by Nigerian agents
under the instructions of Muhammadu Buhari, leading to the untimely and
gruesome death of over 50 Biafrans while thousands of others were seriously
injured or maimed. Today, February 9, 2016, a combined team of Nigerian Police
and Army invaded a private gathering of Biafrans at Aba in Abia State in the
Biafran region of Nigeria, where they were offering prayers to God Almighty for
Him to give victory to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the court. This combined team of
armed Nigerian agents opened fire at these defenceless Biafrans, killing 10 of
them instantly while others sustained gunshot-induced injuries all over their
bodies and vital organs.
We have written several letters
and notifications to Heads of Governments of all countries and members of their
Legislative Arms on the plights of the Indigenous People of Biafra as we face
extermination by the gun-toting and trigger-happy armed agents of Nigeria under
the order of Muhammadu Buhari. The world leaders and their governments have
turned deaf ears and blind eyes to our plights. We have been tortured, killed,
maimed, disenfranchised economically and politically, humiliated, made to
desert our homelands, and treated like slaves in our own land. In all these,
the entire world pretended that nothing happened.
Now, we have come to the painful
but irreversible conclusion and determination to take our fate and destiny in
our own hands. Starting from Wednesday, February 10, 2016, Biafrans will now be
in the mode of self defence as enshrined by the relevant acts and declarations
of the United Nations. Let no country or world leader attempt to tag us as
terrorists because we are not terrorists, rather we are fighting for our
survival and from being exterminated from the surface of the earth.
We shall defend ourselves with
everything and anything necessary to avoid the continual killing of our
mothers, fathers, and children. This is the time for all Biafrans to rise and
defend themselves. We cannot fold our arms and watch Muhammadu Buhari kill us
the second time after killing over two million of us in 1968.
We have fully and totally
activated our rights to self defence!!!

It called on the

COWARD for a
good reason
Buhari is an illiterate. We expected him to tender his certificate after being elected. So as an illiterate he speaks like a tout in Motor Park. He was once a Minister. Before he named his Ministers he renamed them Noise Makers. As a President, he must learn how to use words. Nigerians of other tribes are so decent unlike Almajiris in the North. who can neither read or write. Only illiterate like Dictator Buhari can open mouth like APE OBJ. Mad men will always be the first people to call people senseless and mad. Dictator Boko Buhari coup plotter. Gen. Boko Buhari is an autocratic, tyrant and military Sole Administrator. Dictator Buhari glorifies terrorism. Dictator Buhari is a tribalist. Dictator Buhari is a jihadist. Dictator Buhari is Certificate less. Dictator Buhari is a liar and propagandist. Dictator Buhari is a total failure for failing to better useless, senseless and indiscipline NIGERIANS irrespective of all the sensitive and front line positions he has held before. Dictator Buhari is a killer, riot inciter, NYSC murderer, bad loser, power monger. Dictator Buhari is too corrupt to be trusted with money. Dictator Buhari is a witch hunter. Dictator Buhari described himself and made a disgusting state about his nasty, wasteful, senseless and useless self.
U are getting it all wrong, Buhari lived all his life
either in a military base or in the north, Buhari came to the south only for
war and election so he was actually referring to the north, Buhari has only
northern friends, and his southern friends are all Muslims, so he was referring
to his people in the north and the southern Muslims as daft,
stupid and impatient, unruly, kwarapt etc
if you are talking of looters, tell him to probe
Halliburton scandal--Aisha the girl now your zoological first lady, he raped is
involved in the scandal. tell him to probe it.mad people.
What do you want to hear from a man without school
certificate to say about people who told him so? You see, Buhari feels that
Nigeria is his/their own. So any "idiot" from their own is qualified
to be anything including President. Therefore, for us saying that somebody
without school cert is not fit to rule us is being unruly, senseless, useless
and indiscipline. Above all, we are impatient because, we did not wait for him
to take his time to obtain school certificate.
Have you ask yourself, if Biafra is given sovereignty
today or in the future, half of Yoruba land will be colonized by Biafra. Why!
Yorubas have already sold half of their lands to Igbos and Hausa-Fulani herds
men own the remaining. There will be no Yoruba land or Nation. eye de smell.
Do Nigerians not own land, houses and properties in
foreign land.!. USA, England, Dubai, and all over Europe. Biafran lands,
houses, properties will remain as such in Abuja or any part of former Nigeria.
Wake up.
We must continue with the d truth
only but the truth. Truth is the only word that can stand test of time.

name of peaceful protest for the restoration of our father land (BIAFRA). It's
Time To Confront The Enemies Eye For An Eye, Face To Face, Head To Head, Toe To

him. You killed my dog you better hid your cat. In Africa we don't march for
freedom we fight for freedom. Quote me right.
Is
This Punishment Justifiable By The Nigeria Military? many things are happening,
you actually do not know who to blame for that, the boko haram, the cultists,
the kidnappers, the armed robbers, the govt. officials, the security operatives
or the government itself. we are in a big mess and only time will tell.
Absolutely barbaric and inhuman no matter what the offense is. Now is time the Human Right Organization should bring the Knowledge of the UN to this type of barbaric punishment and promulgate an international law and enforce it worldwide to this regards.
ISIS GROUP THREATEN TO LAUNCH AN
ATTACK IN ASO VILLA
The CSO(Bashir Abubakar Usman) to Buhari in a press statement this morning said that Aso rock was under terror attack from members of ISIS group. He directed personnel of the Armed Forces and the Nigeria Police to take over the DSS officials’ duties of providing “close/immediate protection” for the President with immediate effect. He also confirmed that this was one of the major reasons Buhari travelled out of the country on a 10 day vacation.
May God deliver us from the
wickedness of Buhari, so Buhari left Nigeria because of the insecurity in the

So he wants Osibanjo to die before him.

WE SHOT ONLY
TWO IPOB MEMBERS – ABIA STATE POLICE COMMAND
We Shot Only Two IPOB Members – Abia
State Police Command
Posted
By: Breaking Timeson: February 11, 2016In: Abuja, Africa, Breaking
News, Nation, News, Nigeria5 Comments
The Abia
State Police Command has said that its agents shot dead two members of a
pro-Biafran group for allegedly disturbing students in their school just as the
group claimed that 22 of its members have been confirmed dead after the Tuesday
shooting.
The state
Police PRO, DSP Udeviotu Onyeke said the groups involved were members of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and Movement for the Actualization of the
Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB.
He said:
“Some of our men that were on convoy patrol got information that the pro-Biafra
groups were harassing students. Then, the Aba Area Commander, Mr Peter Wabara
ordered the policemen on ground to go there and make them to leave the place as
the schools were in session and if they had wanted to hold their meeting, they
should have found another place in order not to disturb anybody.
“So when
the police entered the place, they found that the pro-Biafra groups were
relatively calm, so the police took positions to ensure that they did not do
any harm. Police was only there to ensure they did not come to cause break-down
of law and order on the street. But just as the Police was trying to persuade
them to leave the place, soldiers drove in and arrested five of their members
and began to take them away but the group members blocked the way of the
military personnel.
That was
when they started shooting at them. “Before the police left the place, they
picked two dead unidentified persons from the ground and arrested 20 others
while one who was badly injured was taken to the hospital.” He admitted that
some other persons might have been injured in the stampede which the police did
not know of during the crisis.
However,
the state Coordinator of, MASSOB, Mr Anayo Okpala told our correspondent that
the police command was telling half truths, stressing that the group had been
using the venue for prayers and meetings for many years now.
He said
the group met to pray for the release of the IPOB Radio Director, Mr Nnamdi
Kanu when the police came and later the Army joined them and began to shoot at
them. According to him, the prayers were held in all the states of the
South-East and South-South at the few centres hosting the prayer meetings. Mr
Okpala said:
“From
yesterday to this morning, we counted 22 dead persons and many had various
degrees of injuries who had either been shot or killed in the stampede, while
many are in hospitals. Some died at the prayer ground but some others have died
in the hospitals where they were taken to.”
He said that he was sure at
the last count on Wednesday morning that 22 members of the group comprising of
MASSOB and IPOB members were dead. Okpala also claimed that the security agents
arrested five leaders of the group including the Abia state, Rivers State and Imo
state IPOB Coordinators and many other members.

Christians in Nigeria are in deep trouble. And a large

Whereas attention is currently being focused on the ragtag Sunni Boko Haram terrorists, what the Shia potentially pose is more dangerous. The Shia soldiers are getting professional military training and arms from foreign countries. That would make you wonder which war are they preparing for and who are the targets of this brewing Shai terrorism in Nigeria.

Education is worthless In Nigeria
Education:
Why South-west And North Should Be Worried
PunchNG:
Last week, the 2015 West African Senior School Certificate of Education result
was released. The Punch chose to publish the story with an attention-grabbing
headline: “Again, South-East leads in the WASSCE performance chart.” The report
showed that Abia State dethroned Anambra. The states were ranked according to
the percentage that had a minimum of five credits, including in English
Language and Mathematics.
But the
surprise in the report was that almost like in 2014, no South-West state except
Lagos was on the top 10 of the chart. The top 10 states were the five
South-East states, four South-South states and Lagos: 1st – Abia (63.94 per
cent), 2nd – Anambra (61.18 per cent), 3rd – Edo, 4th – Rivers, 5th – Imo, 6th
– Lagos, 7th – Bayelsa, 8th – Delta, 9th – Enugu, and 10th – Ebonyi. Ekiti was
11th; Ondo was 13th; Ogun was 19th; Oyo was 26th; while Osun was 29th. In 2014,
the top 10 states were similar: Anambra (65.92 per cent), Abia (58.52 per
cent), Edo (57.82 per cent), Bayelsa (52.83 per cent), Rivers (52.78 per cent),
Enugu (51.91 per cent), Lagos (45.66 per cent), Imo (40.64 per cent), Delta
(40.12 per cent), Kaduna (36.12 per cent). Ebonyi was 11th with 36.05 per cent.
For
2014, the states with the least performance were Northern states: They were
Yobe (36th), Zamfara (35th), Jigawa (34th), Gombe (33rd), Katsina (32nd), Kebbi
(31st) Bauchi (30th), and Sokoto (29th). In 2013, the result was similar: 28th
– Katsina (10.45 per cent), 29th – Adamawa (8.75 per cent), 30th – Jigawa (7.47
per cent), 31st – Sokoto (7.12 per cent), 32nd – Zamfara (6.65 per cent), 33rd
– Kebbi (6.30 per cent), 34th – Gombe (5.68 per cent), 35th – Bauchi (5.28 per
cent), and 36th – Yobe (4.85 per cent).
Someone
from the South-East or South-South could see it as a reason for chest-thumping,
but for me, it portends grave danger. Why do I say so? I will explain
shortly.Those who had not been following the trend in education could dismiss
this as a flash in the pan. But it is not so. I have followed the trend since
the late 1980s. From 1996 when the late military dictator, Sani Abacha, created
36 states out of Nigeria, the three states that have been producing the highest
number of applicants in the examination organised by the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board have been Imo, Anambra and Delta.
The
Guardian of August 26, 1999, page 31, had some statistics about the 1999 UTME
examination. It showed that the six states with the highest number of
applications were: Imo (44,274), Delta (36,375), Anambra (34,206), Ogun
(33,375), Edo (29,057), and Osun (22,950). Conversely, the states that produced
the least number of candidates were all Northern states: Borno (1,572), Katsina
(1,054), Taraba (882), Sokoto (782), Kebbi (794), and Yobe (535). The Registrar
of JAMB then, Prof. Bello Ahmad Salim, lamented the poor showing of the
Northern states, noting that the 65,000 applications from the 19 states of the
North were just 20,726 higher than the number of applications from only Imo
State. If Imo and Delta states’ applications were combined, that would amount
to 80,649 applications: over 15,000 higher than the applications from the 19
states of the North.
In 2007,
The Guardian newspaper of June 1, page 3, published the results of the 2007
University Matriculation Examination. The top six states with the highest
number of candidates were Imo (93,065), Anambra (64,689), Delta (61,580), Edo
(57,754), Akwa Ibom (47,928), and Ogun (47,227). The last six were: Kebbi
(4,682), Sokoto (3,925), Taraba (3,832), Zamfara (2,904), Jigawa (2,541), and Yobe
(2,516).
For the
2012 results released by JAMB and published by Vanguard of March 31, the top
five states were: Imo (123,865), Delta (88,876), Anambra (84,204), Osun
(73,935), Oyo (71,272). The least five states were: Jigawa (11,529), Kebbi
(7,364), Yobe (6,389), Zamfara (5,713), and Sokoto (5,664).
In the
Unity School admission of 2013, the states that got the highest cut-off marks
were: Anambra – Male (139) Female (139); Imo – Male (138) Female (138); Enugu –
Male (134) Female (134); Lagos – Male (133) Female (133); Delta – Male (131)
Female (131); Ogun – Male(131) Female(131); Abia – Male (130) Female (130). The
states that got the lowest cut-off scores were: Zamfara – Male (four) Female
(two); Yobe – Male (two) Female (27); Taraba – Male (three) Female (11); Sokoto
– Male (nine) Female (13); Kebbi – Male (nine) Female (20); Bauchi – Male (35)

So, for
those from the South-West and North who may give the excuse of the South-East
and South-South states getting these results by the help of “special centres,”
it is a case of trying to hide behind a finger. Instructively, the South-West,
which was the first to receive Western education, and was ahead in education,
has lost its place in education in Nigeria. Something is killing the interest
of the South-West children in education. The six South-West states need to see
this as an emergency that transcends party affiliation. This scenario is a
source of danger because the South-East and South-West have been counter forces
to each other. Whatever feat the South-West produces, the South-East counters
it, and vice versa. We can see it in the literary feats of Chinua Achebe and
Wole Soyinka, the football feats of Shooting Stars and Rangers, the political
feats of Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi Awolowo, the academic feats of University
of Nigeria, Nsukka and University of Ife, Ile-Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo
University), and so on. This healthy rivalry enhances stability, peace and
growth in the nation.
But if
this downward trend continues, in future, that balancing of forces between the
South-West and the South-East will no longer exist. And given that the
indigenes of the South-East and the South-South dwell in large numbers in the
South-West, a time will come when the South-West could feel angry that the indigenes
of the South-East and South-South are taking over positions that the South-West
indigenes should occupy in the South-West. This may cause problems as witnessed
in the xenophobic attacks in South Africa last year. So, it is in the interest
of all that the South-West stage a come-back in education.
The case
of the North is scarier. Many commentators keep quiet about this worrisome
issue because of political correctness, but only someone who loves you can tell
you that you have mouth odour. It is dangerous that there are 10 million youths
in the North with no formal education.
The rise
of Boko Haram has worsened a bad situation in the North. The few who want to go
to school are scared away by this unconscionable terrorist sect.
There
are those who have erroneously said that the lack of interest in education in
the North is caused by religion (Islam). But there are many nations with high
Islamic population even in West Africa that embraced education. Furthermore,
Northern states like Taraba, Plateau and Benue have a predominantly Christian
population. Yet, there is a low interest in education there.
There is
no proof that Northerners have lower IQ than Southerners. All men are created
equal. The prevailing environmental conditions make the difference.
So, the
quota system is an enemy of the North that every Northerner who loves the North
must speak against. Without competition and challenges, there is no burning
desire in man to excel.
Nigeria
runs on a quasi-unitary structure with each link coupled to the other. It moves
as a unit. It can only move as fast as its slowest link and perform as good as
its weakest link. It is in the interest of Nigeria that the fire of education
is rekindled in the North. This will expand the opportunities available for
Northern youths and reduce the tensions and suspicion that exist between the
North and the South.
We must
also jettison this failed feeding-bottle federalism that we have and adopt true
federalism that allows the federating units to move at their own pace and be
competitive. A country that does not promote competition abhors excellence.

‘250 protesting soldiers deserted when told of deployment to battle Boko
Haram’
In NATIONAL
February 10, 2016
Jonathan Hembe
The Nigerian Army on Tuesday said
the 250 soldiers who protested in Kaduna State earlier in the week were those
who deserted when they were told of their deployment to the battle field in the
North East.
A statement on Tuesday by the Nigerian Army said the soldiers were among the 2,023 who were reabsorbed into the Service after their dismissal last year.
Their reabsorption was ordered by
the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai.
The soldiers protested at the
secretariat of the Nigerian Union of Journalists in Kaduna, Kaduna State,
pleading for reabsorption into the Nigerian Army.
But the spokesman of the Nigerian
Army, Colonel Sani Usman, said on Tuesday that the soldiers fled when they were
told of the decision to deploy them to battle Boko Haram in the North East.
Usman said, however, that when they
learnt that some of their colleagues who stayed back were deployed to other
places, they decided to play smart by staging the protest.
Usman said in
his statement on Tuesday: “The protesting soldiers were those soldiers
dismissed last week by the Nigerian Army over gross acts of indiscipline,
cowardice and absence without leave. They were part of the 2,023 dismissed
soldiers last year that were earlier reinstated back into the Service by the
present Chief of Army Staff. However these set of soldiers (the 205) absconded
for more than one week when they were told that they were to move to North East
on the 6th of January 2016. They started coming back when they realised that
others were moved to units other than the theatre of operations in the North East. Please note that all efforts were made to make all the
reinstated soldiers comfortable and integrate them back into the system. The
protesting soldiers are the few who are recalcitrant to military duties and
discipline. They are simply not interested in army job but want to earn salary.
No one should listen to them as they are not patriotic at all.
“It should
be noted that the Nigerian Army has been tolerant and patient with their acts
of indiscipline and unprofessional conduct. This was based on the understanding
of their circumstances and conditions. Efforts have been made to retrain them,
integrate and give them sense of belonging. However the attitude of some of
them has left so much to be desired and would not be tolerated anymore hence
their dismissal from Service. The Nigerian Army thrives on discipline, loyalty
and good conduct and if anyone could not measure up to expectation or live by
those tenets, he would not be allowed to remain in the system.”
OEAS CALLS
FOR BIAFRA SELF DEFENSE UNITS
BIAFRA HAS COME UNDER ATTACK FEBRUARY 12, 2016 Washington DC: As a result of the extrajudicial slayings of dozens of unarmed Biafran protestors by the Nigerian military these past two months in at least three well documented incidents and the detention of scores of others, the OEAS calls for the formation of Biafra self-defense units to protect peaceful demonstrators and independence advocates. Nigeria has rejected calls by the OEAS to release all Biafran prisoners including Nnamdi Kanu and Benjamin Onwuka. Nigeria has also refused to consider a peaceful referendum on the future of Biafra and the stand down of its armed forces in Biafra. Particularly, disappointing was the recent meeting of Nigerian President Buhari with European Union officials at which the pleas of Nmandi Kanu went unaddressed by Buhari. Previously the OEAS had requested EU High Representative Mogherini use her good offices to facilitate a settlement. Ultimately, both Buhari and the EU have failed to address the Biafra issue in good faith. In the absence of international support or remedy, Biafran patriots have no choice but to mobilize for self-defense or face extermination. The Nigerian government has transferred battled hardened Muslim troops from the Boko Haram front to Biafra with shoot to kill orders. There has also been increased activity by the Nigerian Department of State Security (DSS) with informants and infiltrators targeting Biafra independence groups and preparations for mass arrests. The OEAS advises that independence minded people follow the lead of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and other reliable groups that are currently forming units to protect demonstrators from attack and independence advocates from summary arrest and torture. It is the firm position of the OEAS that the Biafran people cannot be denied their destiny which is an internationally recognized referendum on independence.

Biafra: ‘Mobilise and defend yourselves’ – OEAS urges IPOB ;-
Following the recent killing of members of Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB)- the Organisation of Emerging African States (OEAS), on Friday, issued a
statement decrying the killings.
The group, which aims at promoting self governance among African countries
and ending neo-colonial rule, stated that the in the face of the attack on
unarmed IPOB, the secessionist group should defend themselves by whatever
means.
The statement, which was signed by Dr. Ebenezer Derek Mbongo Akwanga,
Jnr, Secretary General, and Dr. Jonathan Levy, Chief Administrative Officer of
OEAS, reads in part:
“As a result of the extrajudicial slayings of dozens of unarmed Biafran
protesters by the Nigerian military these past two months in at least three

Biafra: They Will Kill Us But By The End
Biafra Will Come.- Nnamdi Kanu
by optimism 12th
February 2016
A Pro-Biafra leader whose arrest sparked a wave of protests
across Nigeria’s southeast has told AFP from jail he is a “prisoner of
conscience” and vowed to realise his dream of an independent state. The head of
the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group, Nnamdi Kanu, is accused by the
state of “propagating a secessionist agenda” with the intention to “levy war
against Nigeria”. Kanu, who also runs the London-based Radio Biafra, is facing
charges of treasonable felony, managing an unlawful society and illegally
shipping radio equipment into the country. He has been in custody since his
arrest in October, despite being granted bail, and denied all charges.
His arrest and continued detention has made
him a figurehead for his supporters, whose repeated marches in the southeast
have increasingly led to killed by the police. “Biafra has come to
stay,” Kanu told AFP in a text message via his brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu,
who met him on Thursday in Kuje prison on the outskirts of Nigeria’s capital
Abuja. “They will kill us but by the end Biafra will come,” the 48-year-old
added. “I am a prisoner of conscience and killing unarmed Biafran protesters is
a crime against humanity.”
But
Kanu’s arrest and detention has galvanised support for the Biafra movement
among young people who never knew the horrors of war and have little to lose in
fighting for a better life. Today the former regional power is impoverished,
with dilapidated infrastructure and high unemployment fuelling resentment
against the federal government. “We have been failed in so many ways,” Kanu
said, describing Igbos as “third class citizens”, echoing many in the region
who say they are still being punished for the civil war. Kanu, who has
described Nigeria as a “zoo” which “has to come to an end”, was a relative
unknown before his arrest.
But President Muhammadu Buhari, facing
security threats from Boko Haram in the northeast and an uneasy peace in the
oil-producing south, has said Kanu poses a threat to Nigeria’s fragile unity.
In December, a finger-wagging Buhari said Kanu committed “atrocities” against
Nigeria, adding “there’s a treasonable felony against him and I hope the
court will listen to the case”.
– ‘Third-class citizens’ –
A previous unilateral declaration of an
independent Republic of Biafra in 1967 led to a brutal civil war that left more
than 3 millions dead in nearly three years of fighting. Forced to
surrender and chastened by war, dreams of a separate state for the ethnic Igbo
group

Police crackdown –
Dressed
in an outfit of pristine white and sporting a neat salt-and-pepper beard, Kanu
last appeared in public at an Abuja court Tuesday, arriving in handcuffs and
flanked by prison officers. His lawyer spent the bulk of the afternoon fighting
a state application to have some proceedings held behind closed doors. “When people are
refused access to the court, I ask myself are the defendants actually condemned
before they are heard?” said Chuks Muoma, warning against a “secret trial.” The prosecution alleges Kanu was running an
armed group with ritual baptisms and young men conscripted as “Biafran
soldiers”. Kanu’s half-sister, Tonia Kanu, said the current response to the
protests was only worsening the situation. After the judge adjourned Kanu’s
case until February 19, Tonia received reports that police had shot dead
protesters in the southeast city of Aba.
A day later, police confirmed two
protesters were killed, with 21 IPOB members arrested. “People are being killed
every day just because of peaceful protest. It’s too bad,” Tonia told AFP. She
flicked through her Facebook feed on her smart phone to show gory photos of
dead protesters and a coffin covered with the Biafran flag – red, black and
green with a yellow rising sun. “The violence is to scare people, for them not
to be serious,” she said. “But the more you kill them the more they multiply.”
Since the thief, Luggard amalgamated that zoo hausa Fulani has been killing
biafrans like chicken all the time. Be it thier army, police or even almajiri on the
street.they have seen us as infidels that should be wiped off from the planet
earth. My people since the world those understand only violence, is it not the right time we
speak the language they understand. Let there be a stand of between us and
them. Any hausa
Fulani in the east should be considered an endangered species, any army, police living in biafrans territories
should be paid night visit. the
result will be a retaliation in the north which will force our people home.
This will lead to crisis in the zoo. those
foreign media will be forced to broadcast it. This will give us a better
platform to talk to the world. this
is my contribution for today based on the situation on the ground, whether our
leaders are listening or not should not stop me from thinking ,dreaming and crying for my Biafra every
minute. am sure we can get Biafra if
we are serious and honest.udo chia nu umunnem
