Plots To Kill Nnamdi Kanu In Kuje Prison In Abuja
Continues By The Nigerian DSS PLOT BY HITLERBUHARI TOPOISON NNAMDIKANU IN PRISONTHROUGH HIS DSSHENCHMEN
UNVEILED
The Nigerian government through its Department of State Services has come up with another heinous plot to assassinate the leader of the indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) – Nnamdi Kanu. This happened as some operatives of the DSS secretly stormed the prison cell where Kanu is currently being detained. You will recall that just recently, the DSS had concocted a vicious lie in collaboration with some Nigerian media outfits in order to portray the indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist group and to undermine the struggle for the restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra, when in fact, Biafrans are only demanding their fundamental rights to freedom and self-determination. Following the failure of this plot by the DSS, it had devised another means in order to eliminate the prisoner of conscience – Nnamdi Kanu. Some operatives of the DSS were said to have arrived at the prison premises and headed for Kanu’s cell unannounced, uninvited and for no legal or official assignments.
The failure of the DSS and the resultant embarrassment to its operations, to portray the IPOB as a terrorist group was further aggravated, when the DSS in Abia State debunked the lies peddled by the DSS in Abuja, saying there was no such happening in Abia State. The DSS in Abuja had falsely claimed that Biafrans in Abia State murdered 5 Fulani herdsmen and buried them in a shallow grave in order to arouse ethnic-motivated violence against Biafrans in parts of the country and to justify the continued illegal incarceration of Kanu.
The DSS should be reminded that all its malevolent plots against Kanu and the Biafra restoration quest is being scrupulously monitored. It should be made to quit its primitive trigger-happy dispositions. The International community should issue a serious warning to the Nigerian government and its murderous agents – the DSS, to withdraw all its heinous plots and to let the law take its due course. The United Nations and other international organizations are hereby placed on notice of the impending cruel intentions of the Buhari-led government of Nigeria and to as a matter of urgency, give the Biafran question the attention it deserves, since the Nigerian government lacks the much-needed maturity to handle the matter.

Nnamdi Kanu's
lawyer, Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor in an interview with IBTIMES UK raised an
outrage concerning DSS' horrible invasion of Kuje prison.
"He (Nnamdi
Kanu) is scared of course. We don't know what can happen to him tomorrow and we
want to bring this to the attention of the international community."-
Ejiofor told IBTIMES UK.
Nigeria may be
sparking a third World War in Africa if the allegations of poisoning Nnamdi
Kanu comes to be true even if it surfaces months after Kanu must have been
released. The elasticity of the patience of Biafrans is already being exhausted
given the desperate posture of Nigerian government through their DSS to give Nnamdi
Kanu a masquerade or eliminate him in the process. Several International
security experts have warned that the “modus operandi" of Nigerian
government in handling the Biafra issue especially Nnamdi Kanu's incarceration
and trial may likely spark a war that will ravage the most populous British
former colony in Africa.
It would be very
stupid of Nigerian government to under-estimate or ignore Biafrans at this
point in time. It will be very dangerous and catastrophic to underestimate what
would be a horrible reaction of Biafrans if pushed to the wall.
It should be
noted that if an ordinary arrest of Nnamdi Kanu can spark a major protest among
Biafrans all over the world who initially barely have time for any other thing
apart from their business, work and education, then Nigerian government should
be severely worried imagining what would happen if there is any scratch on
Nnamdi Kanu or if they fail to allow justice prevail in his trial.
BIAFRA: Nigeria Govt on
mission to make Prison
Miserable for Biafra Leader –
lawyer
Pro-Biafran leader Nnamdi Kanu was
charged with treasonable
felony after being arrested in Lagos in October 2015Ipob
One of the
lawyers representing detained pro-Biafran leader Nnamdi Kanu has accused
Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) of making prison as uncomfortable
as possible for his client.
Speaking to
IBTimes UK, Ifeanyi Ejiofor alleged the DSS “invaded” Kanu’s cell in Kuje
Prison, in the capital Abuja, on 12 April. After meeting with his client, who
is standing trial on six counts of treasonable felony charges, Ejiofor said:
“The DSS has been compelled to take measures to make the environment very
uncomfortable for Kanu. They invaded his cell two days ago and they harassed
him. The DSS has been going there every day and all these things are putting
new pressure.
Why advertise with us

“Kanu is OK,
but he is worried,” Ejiofor continued. “He is scared, of course. We don’t know
what can happen to him tomorrow and we want to bring this to the attention of
the international community.”

arrest ‘catalyst for new Biafran agitation’, says Ipob leader’s wife

Kanu’s wife,
Uchechi Okwu-Kanu, told IBTimes UK she was concerned following allegations her
husband was harassed. The DSS was not immediately available for a comment on
the allegations.
Kanu, director
of Radio Biafra and head of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob), was
arrested in Lagos in October 2015 on conspiracy and terrorism charges, which
were later dropped. He was then accused of treasonable felony.
During a
December 2015 presidential media chat, President Muhammadu Buhari said Kanu
would not be released amid fears he could jump bail and flee to the UK, as he
holds both a British and a Nigerian passport.
Pro-Biafrans
demand the independence of Biafran territories forcibly annexed to Nigeria
during British colonisation, which ended in 1960. A Biafran Republic was
established in 1967 and re-annexed to Nigeria in 1970, following a civil war
that claimed between one and three million lives.
The Nigerian
government has always maintained that Nigeria’s unity is a priority for the
country and that although peaceful pro-Biafran protests are welcome, demanding
the breakaway of the Biafran territories is against the constitution.

THE CONTINUED
DETENTION OF
NNAMDI KANU
WITH IMPUNITY.
A LOOMING
DANGER
There is
this saying “when you kill a wondering mad man, you will know that there are
people that he is still dear to”. It is about six months now since the
detention of the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, up until now, it is
a practice of malicious pranks been displayed by the Nigeria judiciary. The
people that were unjustly massacred as a result of this same event are a matter
that is yet to arise and no one is doing or saying anything about this raging
time bomb.
It is a
pitiable situation that the judicial arm that is a full time party to the
Nigerian government as an institution has less or no power to executing the law
as supposed or could it be an avenue to creating a new opportunity via which
the easterners will be completely exterminated this time so that the
British-Nigeria government will take hold of the oil rich region. It is obvious
at this point that the eastern politicians and elites have kept mute as this
danger kept unfolding by the day, which I will not refer to as an act of
cowardice but just about selfishness. It is a shameful situation that a man who
gave himself to fight for the freedom of his people is been extra judicially
detained for months now even when the previous courts of justice and competent
judges have called for his release.
Everyday
fact about an attempt to assassinate him is the breaking news on every media
headline yet the matter is being toyed around with like the person in question
is an orphan who is from no community. Even orphans today, have people that
arise to speak in their favour not to talk of a just man who is fighting in
favour of millions of people among whom are billionaires, world political
heads, and world recognized personalities. This escalating situation is heart
breaking and life threatening. The earlier it is curbed, the better for every
tom, dick and harry. For no matter how insignificant the person of Nnamdi Kanu
may appear to the world at large, his death will certainly spell doom to the
existence of humanity in Africa because he represents a hope to the hopeless.
His followers see him as a mini god and will do anything humanly possible to
avenge his death.
As for
me, I remain of the opinion that Biafra be allowed exit because I can see a new
united and a better developed Africa in Biafra. It will be a country where
everyone will be welcomed including Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. It is a country
where the rest of Africa will come to emulate from to hastening the development
of Africa and giving a hope to our unborn generation.

It has happened and here is the
end of the road; the lion has finished his duty on earth. “It is either Biafran
flag is raised or i am lowered to the grave" the popular phrase has been
implemented. Whichever time it happens; we should all bear in mind that Nnamdi
Kanu paid the ultimate price for our freedom. He was arrested, denied bail,
tortured, kept incommunicado, abused and finally poisoned.
He was treated like nobody and
made to suffer our afflictions; for the sake of Biafra; a Prince chose a
miserable life andsad experience. Neither did he see his new baby or showed a
fatherly love to him; like Christ Jesus; he has done everything and lost
everything. Having been poisoned; he might live for more time but while his
time is approaching; let us be in sober and reflect on everything he has done.
This is a man that never wanted
war but justice; a man that chose death over his comfort; death but death for
the poor and oppressed people of Biafra.
Having burst into Nnamdi Kanu's
prison room and struck him unconscious with what was done on him not disclosed.
The reality remains that having tried to implicate Nnamdi Kanu and terminate
him through the court; the DSS failed and frustration forced them to physically
engage Nnamdi Kanu.
History has been on the side of
Nigeria as MKO Abiola was murdered and nothing happened. Sarowiwa was murdered
and nothing happened; they have drawn conviction from history and to repeat it
became an option. As unwise as they are; they are unaware that Biafra is an
ideology if not a religion to us.
As they have poisoned Nnamdi Kanu
with hope for him to die slowly; every single one of them will pay immeasurably.
Nnamdi Kanu has been poisoned and will slowly fade away even when finally
released to Biafrans. There is need to sharpen the sword because this shall
never end with this generation.
The poisoning of Nnamdi Kanu is
an affront to the entire Biafran people and we must stand and be counted. They
have killed us so much and i urged that we die once and forever save our lives
and that of our generation. Biafrans abroad must wake up and support the call
for justice.
Nnamdi Kanu left London and came
down to this hell called Nigeria to die for our people. Let there be move for
the worst; if Nnamdi Kanu has implemented "Biafra or Death" it is now
left for us to die honourably in the battlefield and we shall not stop dying
till everything has died with us.

Dear Friends & Foes,
Are you aware that the
"FULANI NATIONAL
GRAZING RESERVE BILL"
has
just scaled through its
second reading at the National Assembly?
..
Make all our stupid southern people kontinue to dey blow big grammar. I pity all of una. Yeye and mumu people we no get sense. I dey vex. The north can't take this. They will fight it together at all fronts.
..
So those murderers called Fulani Herdsmen/Militias were actually slaughtering the middle belt people just to get the needed attention to expand their Caliphate and to encroach southwards???
..
The National Assembly is about to pass a Bill that is set to kill whatever is left of our so-called over-centralised federal system. The Bill if passed will be the greatest rape on our democracy and the biggest insult on our collective sensitivity as a people and as a country. “The Fulani National Grazing Reserve,” is currently before the National Assembly. The bill has successfully scaled through second reading in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. For it to become law, it is to pass through the third reading.

“The

“The Bill proposes to establish a National Grazing Reserve Commission (NGRC) for the country.

..
Why can't those they just ranch their super-human cows in ranches???
Must they use tax payers money to promote their ethnic imperialism because their kinsman from Daura is at the helms of our treasury?
..
It is immoral to ask taxpayers to finance the operations of these businesses. Cattle owners must provide capital through bank loans or whatever means to create their grazing lands in their localities. The cows are not owned by the Federal Government.
I have not heard of loans or any legislature for farmers of rubber, cocoa, palm oil, etc or even the yam farmers in Agatu they recently massacres.
This is a very precarious and dangerous precedence.

Fighting For
Nigeria ON JULY 5, 2013
WE cannot
remember the Senate breaking into a fight over anything, not even when there
were threats to their juicy allowances. The House of Representatives is more
famous for fights, including the 2007 one that claimed the life of Dr. Aminu
Safana from Katsina State who died as opponents and proponents of Mrs Patricia
Etteh, former Speaker of the House of Representatives battled over her tenuous
tenure. Two senators almost engaged in blows during a debate on the proposed
State of the Nation Address.
The bill is
for the President to make an annual presentation on the state of the country to
the National Assembly. Whatever the motives for the law, it holds high hopes
that it could afford Nigerians and the President opportunities to focus on
certain actions in the cause of a year. During the next address, the President
would be expected to review performances from the previous year. The State of
the Nation Address, borrowed from the practice in the United States of America,
could be another platform for accountability. The President has refused to
assent to it.
Some
senators support him. Others think he should sign. Where does a fight come into
it? President Jonathan in a letter to the Senate stated, “I am inclined to
accede to the Bill subject to the incorporation of some fundamental amendments
proposed to bring the bill in conformity with the dictates of the
Constitution”. Senator Ita Solomon Enang’s observation that considering
amendments the President proposed amounted to breaching its own rules, hardly
finished when the rowdy session that resulted in suspension of proceedings
began. “The question before us is the question of jurisdiction,” Enang said.
“It is whether we have power to determine what the President asked; it is
when we answer this that we can proceed. He cannot make amendment or propose
amendment to any bill.
The
procedure for making law is this- our Standing Order requires that when a law
is to be made, first, you publish that bill in the gazette. From 2003 (when the
bill was proposed), there was Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
there have always been Attorneys-General, there have always been Special
Advisers to the President on National Assembly Affairs.
Did any of them when this bill was being
considered either in the House of Representatives or in the Senate, come to the
public hearing or the committee handling the bill for the amendment they have
proposed?” Valid questions he might have asked. Options open to the Senate
include a veto or a trip to the Supreme Court. Either way, senators should
raise their passions for more important issues, yet without aiming punches at
each other.
Fighting broke out In the Senate
House between because the evil
suggestion of the Northern
Senator
A senator
from the north suggested that Islamic state should be given to Boko Haram to stop the killings, Senator Ike Ekweremadu says that his people should be given Biafra as well, and he further states that Biafra is older than Nigeria, A senator from the north thrown
bottle water on him for mentioning Biafra, Senator Enyinna Abaribe fought the
senator from north for fighting his brother.

INTERVIEW

GORAN: "IT WOULD BE VERY
STUPID OF NIGERIA TO ATTEMPT
INFLUENCING ICC"
By Paul Ihechi Alagba
For Family Writers
The
Dutch International Human Rights Lawyer representing Biafrans at the
International Criminal Court in the Hague- Professor Goran Sluitter has warned
of the tragic consequences should Nigerian government attempt influencing the
proceedings and outcome of the recent investigations launched by International
Criminal Court in Nigeria.
Two days ago, a delegation from the office of Madame Fatou Bensouda, the Chief Prosecutor at ICC arrived in Abuja in connection with eight cases of Human Rights abuses that have been filed against Nigeria which included the one filed by Professor Goran Sluitter earlier in January regarding the serious abuse and violation of Human Rights of Biafrans which has resulted in several deaths since the inception of Buhari as President of Nigeria.
In a telephone interview he granted to Family Writers, Prof. Goran also warned of the negative effects it will have on the integrity of ICC should they allow themselves to be manipulated.
"It would be very stupid of Nigerian government to attempt influencing the outcome of the investigation to their favour."
"It will also be an affront to the integrity of ICC if the Prosecutor gives room to be manipulated, but I don't think such a thing will be possible."- the renowned Human Rights lawyer stated while answering questions fielded to him concerning the integrity of the ICC with regards to possible influence from its member nation- Nigeria.
Professor Goran also noted that although the complaints and evidences he filed for Biafrans at ICC did not exceed the period as of January 2016, more recorded Rights abuses have been executed against Biafrans from that period till date.

"Several other Human Rights abuses have been
perpetrated against the Biafrans from January till date."
"The initial filed complaints seem to have no influence on the Nigerian government as they have continued excessive use of force and abuse against Biafrans till date. We shall be filing a new complaint at ICC relating to the events recorded from February." he stated.
On the issue of self defence recently activated by Biafrans, he stated that although he is not a political scientist, he will still advice Biafrans from a legal point of view to remain peaceful in the application of their right to self defence-
"It is necessary that Biafrans remain peaceful as violence would provide reasons for Nigerian government to use excessive force against them and also influence negatively the investigations being conducted by the ICC."
On the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, Prof. Goran Slutter expressed dismay at the judicial process of Nigeria and noted the importance of taking the case to Higher International Courts such as the one filed at the ECOWAS court.
"I'm closely monitoring the trial of Kanu as well providing some legal assistance. As it seems now, all national legal procedures have been exhausted in the case. It is therefore imperative to take the case to higher international courts for the sake of justice."-he stated.
Finally he hinted at the importance of evidences which would help get justice for Biafrans at the ICC through their investigations. He noted that although Biafrans have provided reliable evidences for the abuse and violent suppression being melted out on them by Nigerian government, there is also need for more video and pictorial recording of any future occurrence.
In this quest for a sovereign Biafra shall we pay prices but death is the ultimate price and our comrades that passed on are the heroes of this quest. Biafra is the restoration of God’s kingdom and men only but wise among us shall pay or welcome death for God. In the end Biafra is our religion and we shall die for the sake of our God. One would ask what death is greater than death for the cause of God. It is appointed unto man to die but once while the living is not better than my comrades that fought for God and died for God. Biafra is our religion and we have nothing to lose running to the bosom of our creator Chiukwuokikeabiama.

If such a thing could have happened in the heart
of Europe in the early 1990’s why on earth would any reasonably intelligent
person dismiss the notion that it can happen here? The only difference would be
that if such a thing were to ever unfold in our country, it would be far worse
than what happened in Yugoslavia due to the sheer size of our population. We
must do all we can to avoid this. We must reach out to one another in love and
understanding in this country in an attempt to prevent war and secure the
peace. Yet sadly the signs of a future conflict are already there. I pray that
I am wrong but as far as I am concerned, for Nigeria, the bell is tolling. May
the Lord deliver us. Fani-Kayode was Minister of Aviation under the

"This National Grazing Bill if passed into law will just mark the beginning of apartheid in our country. When the government of Zimbabwe collected land from the white people who naturalised there the whole world worked against President Robert Mugabe.

For Family Writers
If the dead have knowledge of the world, then our fallen heroes will be
living in sufficiency but no doubt they will still remain frowned that we have
not restored Biafra to give them peace and make their path worthwhile. Though
they faced orgy of hatred and inhumane approach; there is yet nothing to regret
unless we fail Biafra.For Family Writers
In this quest for a sovereign Biafra shall we pay prices but death is the ultimate price and our comrades that passed on are the heroes of this quest. Biafra is the restoration of God’s kingdom and men only but wise among us shall pay or welcome death for God. In the end Biafra is our religion and we shall die for the sake of our God. One would ask what death is greater than death for the cause of God. It is appointed unto man to die but once while the living is not better than my comrades that fought for God and died for God. Biafra is our religion and we have nothing to lose running to the bosom of our creator Chiukwuokikeabiama.
WWhat is greater than honour and what is as
worthless as living an inconsequential life. My comrades are the heroes, they
have made themselves gods among men for they shall always be remembered and
honoured. Their candle light shall burn without going off while its flame shall
be as red as fur. For these comrades, we have made an altar of remembrance and
honour. They have paid a rare price even as many more are ready to pay. They
passed on for a cause worthy of our lives and their lives shall be decorated as
the most important lives ever lived upon the face of the earth.
hat is g
The shameless Nigerian soldiers that have failed
and lost their pride; ran away from the boundary in the face of war. They have
learned to pull the trigger only when unarmed men are seen and put down their
rifle when men of like-possession are seen. They have raised their shoulders as
the winners but they have only given Biafra a breath. They have neither taken
our lives because God gives and takes life. Let them not be proud for they are
the tools that have been used for the fulfillment of the prophecy.
Long before now we have made up our mind to die and we are very mean when we say ‘Biafra or death’. Our fallen comrades are men of integrity who lived by their words. They have shown a great deal of trust and dignity. They are men of unquestionable integrity that worth everything. What is left of the dead if not respect but we shall not only respect them but god them in our own holy way. They are the most important people of Biafra. They are the foundation of Biafra and everything lovely, holy and worthy of Biafra belongs to them.
Our fallen comrades are the driving force of Biafra because for them we shall continue and stop at nothing but Biafra. They are our source of motivation and the maker of the mark. Here is my tribute that they may be lifted above the living and consider more important than the living in this quest. The staunch believers of Biafra are our fallen comrades. They truly love Biafra and have shown death is only the beginning of the love one can have for Biafra. Let death be not proud and let agents of death be not proud for our comrades are not victims but lovers of freedom. To have paid ultimate price for the living Biafrans is the greatest feat.

Only the restoration of
Biafra shall make them
state heroes and that is
the reason they paid the price.
They have fulfilled their part of the bargain and it is left for us to fulfill
our own. They shall be accorded the status of a state hero and shall be
remembered and honoured. Their honour and remembrance shall make them immortals
for every other person shall die and go but they shall die and live forever and
ever. By virtue of this and knowledge that death is inevitable have their price
been established as the wisest price man can pay to live for eternity.
Death is what will come to us all and only the fearful men shall die many times before their death. Men killed by fear often have no place in the heart of man and in the bosom of God. Our fallen comrades are brave men worthy of emulation and we shall follow them for the sake of our creator. What regret is therein being a willing tool in the hands of our creator. Let death be our portion by the will of our creator for he who made us can make us again. Biafra is the kingdom of Chiukwuokikeabiama and what privilege is it to die fighting for Chiukwuokikeabiama. Let all living honour our fallen comrades and let all lips mention their names in honour and remembrance.
Though they have passed on but they have not passed on because in our heart they live on. Our heart will go on for our fallen comrades and nothing shall stop the fulfillment of their quest. They fell for Biafra to stand and in spirit they fight on because they are not dead. We love and cherish you comrades and until Biafra comes, heroes and gods as you will keep multiplying. Death shall never be lonely as we shall keep trooping in sacrificially until the kingdom of God prevails.

Akanu Ibiam
InternationalAirport,
Air Peace and The Enugu
Investment Summit-The
Young Generation
Perspective
Over d week the Enugu State Governor, Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in a bid to develop
the State organized an investment summit that saw an array of prospective
investors from Europe,Asia and other African countries in attendance. In his
keynote address renowned banker Mr Tony Elumelu stressed on the need for the
Economic integration of the SouthEast. He called on the governors of the region
to sit together and develop an economic blue print with an aim to maximize the
business opportunities in Enugu,Onitsha,Nnewi,Aba,Abakaliki etc
Speaker after speaker hammered on the need for the SouthEast region to take
advantage of the comparative advantage over other regions and the need for
wealthy sons and daughters of the region to invest and train young people as
this will encourage the growth of the region.
Also
worthy to note was the announcement by the Managing Director of Air Peace that
the Akanu Ibiam International Airport has been approved for International
flight operations to and from Atlanta USA,Dubai United Arab Emirates,Johannesburg
South Africa,Mubia India and Gwanzuo,China. He equally announced that Air Peace
have been approved as National Carrier into the five countries by the Federal
Government.
Also
over the week,the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari
signed a currency deal with the Chinese government,this agreement will make it
possible for imports mainly from China to conclude their transactions in the
Chinese currency instead of the dollar.
This agreement will see our Igbo brothers who make up to 70% of the Nigerian
business community in China transact their businesses without going through the
hard chase for dollar. What this means is that our brothers in
Aba,Onitsha,Nnewi can now source for Yuan in any Nigerian bank in their
locality,enter a cab to Enugu and take a flight to China via Air Peace.
Hurting
as it may sound, we the younger generation of the Igbo nation must appreciate
the Federal Government under the leadership of President Buhari on this
laudable approvals and agreements which will help to expand the socio-economic
base of the SouthEast especially coming at a time the region seems forgotten in
the political discourse at the National level.
This move will gradually demystify the myth that has kept Lagos as the economic
hub of Nigeria as young Igbo business men will now see reasons to build
warehouses and factories in Enugu and neighboring states. Young ndi Igbo will
now start seeing reasons to come down to Enugu and South East in search of
greener pastures instead of Lagos as lots of manpower will be needed to service
the demands of a booming economy. Small and medium scale businesses will soon
start to emerge in the region to satisfy the needs of the growing economy. Why
won't a business man build a factory in Enugu when he can comfortably source
his money there,take a flight from Enugu to his business destination and is
sure that his goods will arrive Enugu in safe conditions via cargo flights.
In line
with our Igbo culture of appreciating and commending good deeds we must not fail
to commend the CEO of Air Peace, Mr Allen Onyema who saw reasons to invest and
bring down his business to the Igbo nation. Looking at the level of jobs he
will create by this singular act we see an Igbo man that believes in the Igbo
nation and a one United Nigeria.
And to the Governor of Enugu State,Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi who has showcased the
potentials of Enugu state to the world with an aim to develop the State we say
"daalu".
We the younger generation of the Igbo Nation are proud of this two Igbo sons
while we encourage other Igbo sons and daughters to tow this line in developing
the Igbo nation in a one United Nigeria.
The ball is now in our court to take advantage of this great opportunity and
once again prove to Nigerians and the World that Government policies rather
than selfishness has prevented the region into becoming the new Japan of
Africa.

Frivolous Petitions and Other Matters Connected Therewith currently before

BRITISH AUTHOR, COUGHLIN ASKS
BUHARI QUESTIONS NIGERIANS ARE
AFRAID TO ASK
- Why is Boko Haram more deadly Now than before?
- Why is Buhari going after
Shi'ite Muslims instead of Boko Haram ?
Con Coughlin a London based
Telegraph's Defence Editor and author of Churchill's First War took to his
twitter page to ask the below relevant questions which no Nigerian has bothered
to ask.
The DSS and slain
Fulani in Igbo mass grave: The lesson from Yugoslavia ON APRIL 17, 20169:51
AMIN NEWS, VIEWPOINTCOMMENTS 518 0 5 0 By Femi Fani-Kayode The Department of
State Security (DSS) have claimed that five Fulani herdsmen were abducted,
killed and buried in a mass grave by members of IPOB in Abia state a few days
ago. It also claimed that there were up to 50 more bodies in the grave and that
they are all Fulani. The implications of this announcement is obvious. It will
create more tension and fear in the land and it will lead to reprisal killings
in the North.
Violence is never
the way out and I have always believed that it has no place in any civilized
society. Yet what I find curious about this announcement is the fact that it is
unique and historic. I say this because thousands of Igbos, Yorubas,
Niger-Deltans and Middle Belters have been killed by Fulani militants and
herdsmen over the last ten months since President Buhari came to power, yet the
DSS has never announced it and told the country about the details and ethnic
identities of the victims. When one thousand Shiite Muslims were slaughtered in
Zaria and buried in mass graves the DSS did not speak. When five hundred Idomas
were massacred in Agatu by Fulani militants the DSS did not speak. When
hundreds of southern and Middle Belt farms were raided by AK-47-wielding Fulani
herdsmen who murdered, raped, burnt down and took over the land of their
victims, the DSS never gave us details of the victims or made any
announcements. When our leaders in the South were kidnapped and when men
witnessed their wives and children being raped and butchered by the Fulani
militias before their very eyes, the DSS made no announcements.
When the
elder-statesman Chief Olu Falae’s farm was raided by the Fulani militants for
the third time in one year and his OPC guard was slaughtered, the DSS made no
announcements. When the villagers and farmers in the south-east were murdered
and their wives and daughters were abducted by the Fulani militants, the DSS
made no announcements. When traditional rulers, nuns and priests were abducted
and killed by Fulani herdsmen in the south-south the DSS made no announcements.
When the farms of the south west were attacked and ravaged and Yoruba farmers
and their families were butchered by the Fulani militants the DSS made no
announcements. When the International Terror Index told the world that the
Fulani militias in Nigeria are the “fourth most deadly terror organization in
the world”, the DSS said nothing and neither did they give us details about
their activities or their victims. Worse of all is the fact that our government
and our President, who himself happens to be a Fulani, has never deemed it fit
or necessary to condemn the activities of the Fulani herdsmen and militants and
neither have they expressed any sympathy or displayed any empathy for their
many victims. Let me be clear: The murder of anyone, regardless of their
ethnicity or faith, is unacceptable to me. I deplore murder and violence and,
in my view, the killing of one innocent soul diminishes the humanity of every
single one of us as a community and a nation. However, it seems curious that
the minute that Fulanis are killed in the East, the DSS is quick to rise to the
occasion and express concern about it whilst they do not express the same
concern when Nigerians from other ethnic nationalities were killed by the
Fulani in their own homes and land. Double standard Therein lies the double
standard and it is sad and unfortunate. Furthermore, not only is it very
dangerous but it also confirms the view that our government and security
agencies are not only partial but that they are also attempting to implement an
ethnic and religious agenda. Three questions must be answered: Firstly, who is
funding the Fulani herdsmen and where do they get their weapons from? Secondly,
why does our government not only turn a blind eye to the mass murder and
genocide that they regularly indulge in but also go out of their way to protect
them?
And thirdly, why
do the government and security agencies have so much hatred and contempt for
those that the Fulani regularly target and their victims and why do they
believe that those victims do not deserve to enjoy the full protection of the
Federal Government? Could it be because they are regarded as slaves and second
class citizens? Is Fulani blood and are Fulani lives more important than
others? Indeed, do non-Fulani lives matter in President Buhari’s Nigeria? Are
we compelled to begin a ‘’non-Fulani lives matter” movement which is based and
fashioned on the “Black Lives Matter” movement in the United States of America
before we can draw the attention of the world to what is going on in our
country?
Is it not obvious
and logical that when the security agencies refuse to protect the citizens from
the murderous hordes and herdsmen from hell, those citizens will eventually
seek to protect themselves and go on the offensive? That is human nature and it
is to be expected. Is it not clear to those in power that when a people are
convinced that their government is no longer impartial in any conflict and that
the security agencies of that government have been directed to go out of their
way to actively and openly support those that constantly and regularly
slaughter their people, it will eventually lead to open war?
Is it so difficult to accept the fact that no
government and no force from hell or on earth can compel or intimidate a man
into lying down passively and silently watch his family, loved ones and kinsmen
being butchered and slaughtered morning, day and night, without trying to
protect them and without indulging in some form of retaliation? Causes of war
With the sort of things that are going on in our country today, it is time to
tell ourselves some home-truths. No-one wishes to accept it let alone say it
but sadly war may come to Nigeria again.I do not want war and I consider it to
be the ultimate evil but I am constrained to speak the truth and say things as
I see them.
The fact that a
war is coming is a testimony to the fact that we have all failed to manage the
peace that God has given us since 1970 and the cessation of hostilities after
our brutal civil war. We have failed so badly that the remote and immediate
causes of that civil war are back with us today even though we hate to admit or
acknowledge it. Our country is like Yugoslavia unfolding before it exploded and
violently broke into five separate countries. All the signs are there. Anyone
that knows about the history of Yugoslavia or that is a student of world
history will agree with me and appreciate what I am saying. Consider the
dangerous mix. A crumbling economy. An inept, weak, failing and paranoid
government. A hungry, angry and increasingly desperate civilian population. An
ignorant, obsessive, arrogant, insensitive, corrupt and self-absorbed political
class who are out of touch with reality. The implementation of an ethnic and
religious agenda by a government that refuses to consider the implications of
taking such a course of action and that have an early-1960’s mind-set. A
relentless clamp-down on and persecution of the opposition and all dissenting
voices by the government and the use of fear as a tool of governance and
control. The entering into military alliance with a group of Arab Sunni Muslim
countries that seek to Islamise our country. The constant and open abuse of
power. The impunity and insensitivity of the Buhari administration to the
plight of the masses. The hunger, hardship, poverty and suffering in the land.
The failure of the government to get rid of the fuel queues and supply
electrical power. The demonisation of peaceful and law-abiding
self-determination groups and the unlawful incarceration of their leaders. The
breach of the constitutional rights of the citizens and the ignoring of court
orders and judicial processes by the government. The attempt to intimidate and
control the judiciary and legislature by government. The list goes on and on
and history proves that such a mixture of circumstances is dangerous and
can only lead to open conflict if not halted. The country is badly divided
today and the people are suffering as never before. We must do our best to
ensure that that division and hatred does not spill over into open war. This is
because war is a terrible thing which must be avoided at all costs.
The Yugoslavia
lesson If anyone doubts that they should consider the plight of the Bosnians of
Bosnia-Herzogovina during the Yugoslavian civil war that took place in the
European Balkans in the late 1980’s right up until 1992. They were the only
ethnic group in Yugoslavia that was not prepared for it when the war started.
They had no arms, no plan, no allies and no fall back position. When the
fighting started, they were caught unawares and, for two years, they suffered
immeasurably for their stupidity and naivety whilst their people were killed
like flies and their women and children were raped and enslaved. God forbid
this should happen to any ethnic group or ANY of our people in Nigeria.
The reason that they suffered for two years
was because there was an international arms embargo placed on all the ethnic
groups and warring militias and armies in Yugoslavia when the war
started. And, sadly, the Bosnians were the only ones that did not buy and
stockpile arms in preparation for war, months and years before it actually
broke out. Plagued by a cowardly and weak-minded ruling elite and a naive,
self-serving, servile, ignorant and intellectually-challenged middle class, the
Bosnians just kept talking, writing newspaper articles, appeasing the aggressors
and their tormentors, praying and hoping for peace whilst all the other ethnic
and religious groups and warring parties were quietly preparing for war. Sounds
familiar?
They suffered
immensely for their lack of understanding, insight and foresight and their
civilian population paid a heavy price. For two years after the civil war
started, the Bosnians could not even buy a gun or bullet to defend themselves.
Their towns were besieged and blown up whilst their women and children were
raped, enslaved and butchered. Their men were rounded up into Second World
War-like Nazi concentration camps and starved and tortured to death and their
dignity and self-respect was taken from them. They were turned into an
internally-displaced people and their land was transformed into a sea of
desperate and suffering refugees. It was a nightmare from hell and suffering on
this scale had not been seen on European soil since the First and Second World
Wars. It was after the international community silently watched them being
slaughtered by their Serbian and Croatian compatriots for two long years that
they were compelled, as a consequence of pressure from the people of the world
and on moral and humanitarian grounds, to lift the arms embargo on them so that
they could buy arms to defend themselves. The war dragged on for more years
after that but, at least, the Bosnians, though two years late, were now able to
fight back and defend themselves. It took the intervention of NATO, the bombing
of Belgrade by the international community led by the Americans and the
eventual break-up of the entire country into five pieces to stop the carnage
and barbarity of the Serbs and eventually bring the civil war to an end. It was
during that war that the term “ethnic cleansing” was first used by CNN to
describe what was being done by the Serbs to the Bosnians, the Croats, the
Slovenians, the Kosovars, the Macedonians and the Monte Negrans, all of whom
represented the other ethnic groups that made up the old Yugoslavia. Eventually
the country broke up and each of them got their independence from the dominant
Serbs and from one another.

God bless you Shalom Ugowhite for addressing this confused so called
elderly Igbos. They have cause a lot of harm than good in the quest fighting
for leadership. Does it real matters who leads? All Biafrans needed was someone
like Nnamdi Kanu who have the capacity in terms of intellectual ability,
fearless, boldness, who can sacrifice what it takes to bring the Nation of
Biafra to pass, who completely knows the Biafran history to argue
our case at international level (UN). That's what Biafrans wanted. These
elderly fools should be grateful for Biafrans to have somebody like Nnamidi
Kanu who is very outspoken and willing to pay the utmost sacrifice to bring
Biafran Nation to pass. Does that requires these Igbo elders to bend their neck
when shaking buhari hand like we are begging buhari for our legitimate rights.
No no no, Nigeria or rather hausa funani have to beg us because IPOB was in
existence before house/fulani migrated from Chad and Mali with their cows to
nigeria and settled in Borono like they are trying to wipe Agutu in Benue and
take over their Land.

"And if they are still in any doubt about where
all this is heading in the Nigerian context they should consider the following.
On December 30th 1964, Mallam Bala Garba told the West
African Pilot newspaper that:
"the conquest to the sea is now in sight. When our
god-sent Ahmadu Bello said some years ago that our conquest will reach the sea
shores of Nigeria, some idiots in the South were doubting its possibilities.
Today have we not reached the sea? Lagos is reached. It remains Port-Harcourt.
It must be conquered and taken.”
This is an eloquent expression of radical Islam, with
its pervasive use of violence as a tool of conquest and subjugation, in its
purest and most obvious form.
Inspired and equipped with this Janjaweed philosophy
and ethos, the whole of core northern Nigeria was conquered by Sheik Usman Dan
Fodio through the use of terror and by the power of the sword in the name of
jihad. Millions of innocent non-Muslims were cut to pieces in the process.
Given the activities of Boko Haram and the Fulani
herdsmen in our country today it appears that some in our shores are still
interested in implementing that satanic agenda.
They wish to continue where Usman Dan Fodio stopped and
they wish to "dip the Koran in the Atlantic ocean".
Their latest attempt is the introduction and proposal
of what is known as the Cattle Grazing Act which will give the Fulani herdsmen
the right to claim other peoples land all over the country and which will
empower them by law to create their own settlements and communities in the
territory of others.
Worse still under that law the government will be
compelled to fund those settlements and put all that they need in terms of
infrastructure in place for them. That is why our Minister of Agriculture is
now talking about importing Brazilian grass for the Fulani herdsmen and their
cattle.
This subtle and exceptionally brilliant attempt to
infiltrate and conquer by guile and assimilation reminds me of the frightful
laws that were put in place in the old wild western prairies of 19th century
America.
Those laws gave the white settlers rights over the
lands of the indigenous Red Indians and saw the Indians themselves subjected to
genocide and ethnic cleansing and herded into barren reservations that were not
fit for human habitation.
It was in this way that the "wild west" was
conquered and the once proud and noble war-like Indian tribes of the western
prairies were subjugated and subdued.
Sadly our legislators in the National Assembly from the
south and the Middle simply do not appreciate and cannot comprehend the serious
implications of what they are doing by supporting this evil legislation and
neither will the consequences of their naivety and folly be suffered by their
constituents until it is far too late.
If that law is ever passed and implemented, two years
from that time we will regret it deeply as a nation because it will result in
nothing but conflict, chaos and strife between the Fulani herdsmen and settlers
on the one hand and the local indigenous population on the other.
The tragedy that unfolded in Jos, Plateau state between
the indigenous Christian Beroms and the settler Muslim Fulani for many years is
a graphic example of what will be replicated all over the south and the Middle
Belt between the Fulani and the various local indigenous populations if that
law is ever passed and implemented.
As a matter of fact it will be far worse than anything
that Jos ever saw. The Cattle Grazing Act will not result in enhancing unity
and peace but instead it will result in division, bloodshed, carnage and
chaos"- FEMI FANI-KAYODE, ''THE OUTLAWS OF ISLAM", PREMIUM TIMES,
25TH APRIL, 2016.
The greatest evil that we are confronted with in
Nigeria today is this National Grazing Bill. It is more evil than Boko Haram.
It will do more harm than Boko Haram and it will result
in open war and the final disintegration of Nigeria. We must stop it from being
made into law.
There are some things that are bigger than politics and
this is one of them.
We must all stand together regardless of our political
affiliation and stop this Trojan horse from being foisted upon us by those that
seek to subjugate and conquer us.
May God help our people and our country and may He
deliver us from evil.
This was Shared with me, please read and soak in the
shocking plan of president Buhari to give your lands to the fulani herdsmen...

FG provoking Ndigbo everyday –
Ekweremadu
on April 17, 2016
The Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu, on
Sunday accused the President Muhammadu Buhari led government of provoking
Ndigbo.
Ekweremadu, representing Enugu West Constituency, said that
until the leadership of Nigeria learn to respect Nigbo and ensure that equity
and justice prevailed, the country can never be the same.
The Deputy Senate President, who spoke in Enugu while addressing
people of Eziagu council area of Enugu State during a solidarity visit, said
that despite the contributions of Ndigbo in the development of Nigeria, “we are
being provoked everyday by the government of this country”.
According to him, “let me remind you that we are going through
the difficult period in Igbo land. As Ndigbo, we are going through trying
period, we are being provoked everyday by the government of this country in the
way they treat our people, especially the marginalization going on at the
federal level by the federal government.
“We are also aware of the contributions of our people towards
the development of this country. The Nigeria Movie Industry, which one of the
major exports we have, Igbo’s pioneered that industry; in sports, Igbo’s are
all over the world doing the country proud. When you see Nigeria national team
playing, 80 percent most times are Igbos and we are happy to do that”.
Sen. Ekweremadu who said that Ndigbo were more Nigerian than any
tribe, disclosed that in all remote villages in Kano, Kaduna, Maiduguri and
everywhere, “you will see Igbos who are patent medical dealers, you will see
Igbos selling plastic, you will see Igbos providing jobs not only to their
people but to the rest of Nigeria.”
He said Ndigbo had done so much to the country and deserved some
respect, stressing that until “we get our respect, Nigeria will never be the
same.
“So, any person who thinks that Igbos will be relegated and
there will be peace in this country is joking. We believe in equity, we believe
in justice.
“This country is big enough for everybody. Nigeria needs energy
and ingenuity of Igbos, they need our creativity, they need the enterprise of
Igboman and we can combine the attributes with the other tribes and Nigeria
will be great.”
The deputy President of the Senate who spoke with passion said
Igbos will never accept the situation and that indeed no tribes would be
excluded from the governance of this country because this country belonged to
all of us.
He said it may be dark today but there will light at the end of
the tunnel.
“We have already left Egypt and we will never go back to Egypt.
Definitely, we will get to the promise land unlike the people of Israel; all of
us will be alive when we get to the promise land.
“So, I am not shaking and don’t be afraid my people, we believe
in this country, we believe in free enterprise, we believe in justice and we
also believe in equity and that, we ensure that this country will get”.
He thanked the chairman of Eziagu LGA, Mr. Chukwudi F. Ezinwa
for uniting all the people of Eziagu council area, stressing that in a short
period, he had performed beyond his expectation.
He promises to work with him to change the story of the council
area in everything that humans being could do.
He said that throughout the trying period of his election,
Eziagu people stood by him to the extent that some traditional rulers were
dethroned.
Earlier in his remark, the Eziagu Council Chairman, Mr. Ezinwa
appealed to the deputy President of the Senate to ensure the completion of
federal roads government embarked upon in the council, especially those roads
that erosion had cut-off.
REPORTING LIVE FROM UMUAHIA, CHIJINDU

FOR BIAFRA WRITERS
Today the 18th April, 2016, twenty members of the Indigenous people of Biafra arrested while praying on 9th Feb 2016 at National High School Aba, who have been unjustly detained in Aba prison like our leader Nnamdi Kanu, were scheduled to appear in the Federal high court, Umuahia today. On reaching the court venue, the twenty accused persons were nowhere to be found as they were not brought to stand their trial in court today. But nevertheless, the court proceedings continued as the defence counsel to the Indigenous People Of Biafra, in the person of Barrister Kenneth Nwankwo was present.
The case was called upon at 11:37am Biafra time, for both legal representatives to proceed with their adumbrations. While the defence counsel to the Indigenous People Of Biafra made known his presence by introducing himself to the court, his learned colleague; who was supposed to represent the Federal Government Of Nigeria, unfortunately was nowhere to be found.

The legal
representative of IPOB, Barr. Ken pleaded for oral application of the hearing
of the case of the twenty accused, as it was not clearly stated in the already
written application that there are up to twenty of them in prison. The judge
granted his plea on the condition that he will present the names of all the
twenty accused persons one after the other, which he did without objection.
After his
presentation, the judge merged all the twenty accused under one case file,
since the charges against them are all the same and since they have the same
legal representative. The Judge further asked the counsel to the indigenous
people of Biafra, if a letter of hearing has been served to the federal
government of Nigeria, but the answer was an emphatic ‘No’. she proceeded by
instructing that a letter of hearing be served to the Federal government of
Nigeria.
After giving out the above
instructions, she went on to adjourn the case to the 11th of May for another
hearing, after IPOB lawyer pleaded for a closer date which was not granted.
While addressing
the members of the indigenous people of Biafra IPOB present in the Court, the
lawyer stated that the federal government of Nigeria does not have any case
against the accused IPOB members, he further added that hopefully the detained
IPOB in Aba Prison will be released come 11th May, 2016.

Nigerians
Discuss Independence Of Biafra, Unity Of Nigeria Clement Ejiofor 1 year ago
Last
week, the majority the Scottish people said “No” to the prospect of
Scotland leaving the United Kingdom. Following the much-discussed 2014
Scottish independence referendum outcome, Naij.com has asked its readers a
similar question, but peculiar to Nigeria only. Below you may find various responses
from Nigerians who explain why they would rather support a
united Nigeria, or root for re-emergence of the Republic of Biafra.
Republic
of Biafra in May 1967
About
75% of the 850 commentators bitterly noted how multiple ethnicities and
cultures inhabiting Nigeria often clah and subject each other to violence. They
were adamant that separation and re-emergence of Biafra would be best.
Said Ndubuisi Christopher Maduka: “The ethnic nationalities which make up
this country were forced to come together. The gap between the North and South
is too wide in terms of education. The Southern part are more accommodative and
liberal. Northern part, especially the Hausa/Fulanis, are not so. They are
overzealous to rule and control the resources from the South. I think the
Southerners can understand each other. Ever since I was born, I have been
hearing of religious crises in the North.
It is
better if the nation split to avoid these unwarranted killings. Independence of
Biafra is a capital ‘YES’.” Joseph Onuoha said: “What is the use of one Nigeria
when every tribe dislikes the Igbos? Not just the Igbos alone, but the whole
South-South and South-East. The truth is bitter but must be said. The Republic
State of Biafra is better off alone. We don’t need a nation that speaks ‘One
Nigeria’ and kills other tribes, depriving the South-East and South-South of
their crude oil and other mineral resources. Nigeria should be divided and let
the South-South and South-East take control of their crude oil and mineral
resources. Long live Biafra, long live MASSOB!” Isaac Oshionebo said: “There is
a difference between the Northern soldiers and the Southern soldiers today, but
we only call it the Nigerian Army.
That is
why the war against Boko Haram is difficult and bitter. We are divided already,
let’s do it peacefully.” Probity Okike said: “Nigeria is a zoo, Biafra is my
country.” Chikelue Henry Okeke said: “If there can be a Biafra through a
referendum and not through war, then I would vote yes to a division. And my
reason is that the Hausa and Fulani Muslims murder thousands of Igbo people who
were living in the North because of their religious fanaticism and political
sentiments.” Some Nigerians, however, were more optimistic. While acknowledging
the many problems Nigeria is currently facing, they were eager to
suggestposible ways out of the apparent dead end our country might
one day find herself trapped in: Temple Eze said: “What we need is
to change our system of government. Everybody wants to get to Aso Rock
because Abuja remains the corridor of power.
The
problem of Nigeria had started when we turned our country into a republic. If
all the ethnic groups minded their side, as it was immediately after our
Independence, there would have been no excess money in Aso Rock, the reason
Nnamdi Azikwe was able to leave Abubakar as a prime minister. But in 1963,
Awolowo and Zik refused to leave the presidency for each other, and the
disagreement lingered until the military decided to come into the issue.
Because of this, the only capable head of state, Aguiyi-Ironsi, was slain. This
made a little boy of 31 years Gowon, who never knew what it means to be a
leader, to fill the vacuum which led the country into civil war. Today, look at
where we are. Let’s use the system of 1960-1963 and Nigeria will be better.
Thanks!” Stanley Unegbu: “I say No the independence of Biafra.
But I
suggest pure regional autonomy, like in the United Kingdom. And rotational
presidency among the regions.” Muraina Akeem Olatunji: ”I want a United Nigeria
FREE of corruption, indiscipline, bloodbaths, bad governance. I want a United
Nigeria where people are patriotic, honest, tolerant of one another. I want a
United Nigeria with both good leaders and followers. God had a reason for uniting
us. We could use our huge population to an advantage, just like China, USA,
Russia, etc. did. If only we could embrace one another in peace and kill
corruption!” John Ayodele Oyewole: “Well, before any part of Nigeria wishes to
break away, the boundaries must be defined. There must be an objective and
unanimous agreement. While clamouring for separation, know for sure who the
minority might like to go with peaceful dialogue that erodes selfishness that
will not be for the benefit of the politicians, but for the good of all.
If the Scots had voted yes, only their
politicians would have benefitted from the referendum, because practically
speaking, their citizens are equally treated, but that is not the case with
Nigeria. The bigger a country is, the better, but we must all work for the good
of all.” A noticeable part of commentators still insisted that Nigeria’s motley
population has been brought together for a reason. We should stay together
despite our differences, they maintained.
Ojochenemi
Hussain said: “Please, my Igbo friends, I’ll just ask you this question. What
do you people really have in terms of natural resources that even kids from
your region clamour for division? If your request is granted, the only region
that can carry you along is South-South. And it’s clear they may not dance
to your tone. So tell me, if you’re ‘better off alone,’ what’ll be the means of
survival in Biafra?” Akaninyene James said: “If the Igbos are longing
for Biafra, how about Akwa Ibom, Calabar? We, too, will become a sovereign
nation, instead of pairing with the Igbos. They are dubious. One Nigeria is
what our fallen Heroes fought for. It is too late to disintegrate. I love
Nigeria!” Jubilee Shola said: “Separate Biafra now and prepare for another
ethnic division tomorrow.
TRUE
FEDERALISM is what we lack.
That is
why we can’t have our own United Kingdom and the USA. If this new Constitution
can be implemented this year, we will all enjoy what we call Nigeria. Good
people. Great Nation.” Ogunsanmi Emman said: “I don’t know why some senseless
Igbos are calling for Biafra. If the region succeed with the plan, do they
think that that small enclave would contain them with their staggering
population? Besides, no sane Igbo man would wish to forgo their business empire
scattered all over Nigeria. There is unity in diversity. The Igbo man has
excelled in everything and contributed to the development of this nation, and I
salute them for being the honey bee of the nation after the Civil War.”
Emmanuel Etukudo said: “Disintegrating Nigeria would never solve the
problems of our beloved country. There already are a lot of factions among the
Igbos themselves. Let us learn from what is happening between Sudan and South
Sudan. Did their separation bring peace to Southern Sudan who where clamoring
for independence?
Today,
barely a year after their independence, they are fighting themselves
because there are so many interests, ethnic groups and factions involved.
Believe me, my fellow Nigerians, if we follow the part of separation and have
Biafra, which I will never become a part of, our fate will be just like that of
Southern Sudan.” Hosea Gwazah said: “I would have voted for United
Nigeria. 1) Together, our founding fathers nursed this baby from its birth
through youthful stage. 2) Since the attempt to break failed, the blood spilled
during the Civil War became the cord that has bound the North & South
together. 3) International communities know the untapped raw materials across
Nigeria.
That’s
why they are looking for an opportunity to split our dear Nation: to devour her
resources. 4) Nigerian political scenario suggests a chaos which is misleading
others to think it will be impossible for us to survive as one.” Which group of

It Is Good To Know Your Identity as This Soldier Did.... I Love That So Much. How About You?AN OPEN LETTER TO MY
BRETHREN IN THE SOUTH-
SOUTH
….for as long as the Old Eastern region remain in disarray and not united,
self-determination of the region will remain impossible…. – An anonymous
retired Nigerian Army Chief
The word “south-south” even
though it may sound absurd, is a name we have come to accept as a people. We
can’t say exactly how we came about to be identified with the name neither can
we say exactly when we were given the name, but we just know it is our name.
While growing up back in the days, geography taught us about “the North”, “the
South”, “The East” and “The west”. For proper definition of locations, we were
also told about “The Northwest, Northeast, Southwest and Southeast” I can’t
remember anything like the “Northnorth”, “Southsouth”, “Easteast” or Westwest ,
but here I am today, writing a letter to my SouthSouth brethren. That is what
happens to a people that are not in control of their Cultural Development or
the Political and Economic Future. That is what happens to a people that are
just there for their numbers, that is what happens to people that are just kept
for their services, that is what happens to people that are just custodians of
wealth for a supposedly superior people, and finally, that is what happens to
peoples that are slaves. Any name is suitable for them, they can only get
whatever is given to them even if it is originally theirs. If in doubt, please
remind me the meaning of KUNTA KINTE.
I write this letter not because
it is frustrating to see how we allowed a defrauded propaganda to position our
people as the pawns in the Political Chess called Nigeria, but rather, I write
this letter in an effort to request that we free ourselves from these
propaganda that has lingered for too long. If our grandfathers and fathers did
not ask questions, is there any divine law that says we cannot ask? We know we
all belonged to the old Eastern Region of Nigeria before the Northern
protectorate took back their power after the gruesome murder of General Aguiyi
Ironsi. Just for the records, let me do us a bit of history here; Major General
Ironsi as Head of State was cornered and arrested somewhere in western Nigeria
in July 29th of 1966, his hands and feet were tied together, then tied to a
Land Rover with a little space in between, and driven on a tarred road, face
down for several kilometers. The then highest ranking northern officer, an
acting (Unconfirmed) Lieutenant Colonel was chosen to be the next Head of State
ahead of serving Brigadiers, Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels of the southern
Nigeria, followed by the dreadful killings of officers and soldiers of Eastern
Nigeria including our so called South South soldiers and officers . The
genocide that followed is what is recorded as the Nigerian civil war of 1967 –
1970. As if that was not enough, the Eastern region was broken apart with the
sudden creation of the then South Eastern state (today’s Cross Rivers and Akwa
Ibom), Rivers state (Today’s Rivers State and Bayelsa). It was during that war
that propagandas were designed, created and generated to separate us from the
old eastern region and make the average Igbo man our potential enemy in an
effort to reduce their own presumed enemies. In as much as it is a bitter
history, but I find it necessary to do you this preamble.
I write this letter to remind us
that our region, known as the South-South today was a creation of the north for
the sake of creating the disunity we face today. And moreso, it was not just
for the disunity for them to win the war, but to also take away our resources,
our man power and our economic future. In 2014 when President Jonathan, a son
of the so called South-South decided to re-contest the 2015 elections, Sheik
Junaid Mohammed in an engagement on behalf the northern protectorate, reminded
us that the so called South-South was a creation of the north for effective
management of the northern interest in eastern Nigeria. How bad could this be?
Can we imagine that? So while we are busy reminding ourselves that we are a
different people or that the Igbos are wicked and are trying to kill us, the
north is joyously taking over and owning 85% of our oil wells while the West
takes over the left overs. And what do we get? Noise! Even the supposedly
football legend, Sunday Okechukwu Oliseh is busy telling us he is not Igbo as
if it is a curse to be Igbo. One wonders if the name Okechukwu is of Hausa or
Yoruba origin. When you speak Igbo as a language and yet claim you are not Ibo,
is that not the saddest thing that can happen to any people of identical
culture? Even Major Kaduna Nzeogwu that led the first coup that was said to be
an Igbo coup is from Okpanam village in today’s Delta State. Could he have come
out to say today like Sunday Oliseh said that he was not Igbo? If the Abakaliki
or Nsukka indigene that has a more distant dialect of Igbo is Ibo, how come the
Anioma or Okrika indigene that is easily understood is not Igbo? How did a
people of the same culture get so separated these far?
I write these letter to speak to
those of us regarded as minority tribes. How can we be minority when in
essences we are known to be about 35 million of the said 180 million of the
said Nigerian population? How can we be a minority in our own lands if we were
not treated as such, or if we did not accept to be such? If those from the
alliance that separated us from the west are said to be about 50 million in
population, and our brethren in the east are said to be about 40 million, how
can we accept we are a minority? Our compatriots from the alleged minorities of
the north are said to be another 30 million, who then is the minority? Having
run through these figures, we know who the real minorities are. Be it as it
appears, the truth is that our region was broken into two so as to weaken our
original strength given that at a combined population strength of 35 million
and 40 million people, our economic and entrepreneurial strength put together
would be something the alliance will be worried about. So why should we ever
think that it is logical to claim we are two different people when in essence,
we have always been one and the same people for over 400 years before the
arrival of the white man. If what the white man did to us was not bad enough,
is it not ridiculous that we allowed a certain minority immigrants to assume
control of our economic and political future?
I write these letter to ask my
brethren in the south-south these pertinent question; Let us assume the very
worst situation in this fracas between us and our Igbo brothers, why are we
worried about the Igbos taking over our “natural resources” (assuming they
don’t have theirs), ARE WE PRESENTLY IN CONTROL OF OUR “NATURAL RESOURCES”?
Does it make more sense that our natural resources is being controlled by some
strange people from over 700 miles away? People that kill us at will at a
single provocation of their religion? People that even kill us in our land?
People that challenge us to the ownership of these our resources? People that
show absolute disregard of who we are? People that think it is a privilege for
us to be in any position of authority? And finally, people that do not in any
way have the kind of entrepreneurial skills that we have? Why would we allow
our imaginary quarrel or fights with our brothers translate to the decision of
one of the women in King Solomon’s Judgment that insisted that since she
couldn’t have the child, the other woman should not. So are we in essence
saying it is better for none of us brethren to own our resources simply because
we don’t trust our brothers, yet we do nothing about the stranger that has
ripped us apart? Are we logically correct in these senseless quarrel? Even
while we are senselessly worried about how the Igbos will colonize our people
because that is what we were told, and that is what some of these alliance are
still trying to tell us; can we sincerely tell ourselves that the Igbos are
that evil? Evil enough to leave their Natural resources in Abia, Imo, Anambra
and Enugu states to come and take ownership of our resources? How will they do
that? How possible will it be for a people that barely kill by the sword
compared to our present oppressors? Do we honestly see that as a possibility?
How and why did we allow these propaganda to go these far? Is these not what
the alliance has used to rule us through the divide and rule scheme? Sheik
Jumiad Mohammed said it clearly that our separation was a creation of the north
for the effective management of our resources while we keep fighting an
imaginary enemy.
I write this letter to remind us
that we and our Igbo brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers have cultural
identities, we uphold the sacrosanct of life, we do not kill a man like a
chicken, we worship the same God, and we have identical looks and reasoning capabilities.
Education is a respected virtue to both of us, entrepreneurism is a common love
between us. We both respect constituted authorities. Even-though we both have
the cultural odds that cannot, and should not be used to castigate an entire
people. So how come the Igbo man suddenly became evil shortly before the war if
the castigation was not a propaganda tool of the war? How did we accept that
our Igbo brothers were evil while we were saints? How are we saints? Is there
any evil that is the monopoly of the Igbos that we are totally clean of? That
we don’t have a single man/woman that does same if positioned in the same
situation? How did we allow a distant people determine how we live our lives?
If we think we are different and as such we are treated better than the Igbos;
have we noticed that the fate of the Onitsha Port is the same fate that befell
the Ports in Calabar and Port Harcourt? We from the east are all forced to go
to Lagos to pay taxes to those ports. How have we been treated differently by
these alliances if we were different from the Igbos? Are we not facing the same
fate as our eastern brethren? How do you think we will fare if we were the only
ones to receive these treatment given a circumstance where the Igbos are no
more in this contraption called Nigeria.
I write this letter to our
brethren to remind us that without a unified stands of the entire region, the
self-determination process will be a farce. We need each other in all
difficulties. We are the Eastern Region; we are the region of the Lower Niger;
we are a common people; we are not different from each other. Starting from the
Hills of Ogoja to the rocky soils of Ebonyi, down to the temperate region of
Anambra down to the enclaves of Ishekiri and Isoko, we all look alike. The Akwa
Ibom man and the Abia State man are the same people simply divided by
boundaries. The Calabar man and the Arochukwu man has identical ancestral
masquerades. The Ikwerre man is just an Igbo man that was separated by the
North to act as a different people. A British woman, camped somewhere in Kaduna
decided to add the “R” consonant to the “U” vowel to totally break the
identities of the Igbos in today’s Rivers state. The Ijaws, Kalabris, Oron,
Efik are practically the same people positioned in different locations possibly
during the settlement centuries ago. We are all interrelated in the region and
as such must not be divided. We have been used for decades, disregarded at
every opportunity, our rights are perceived as privileges if not favors. We do
not have control over our future as instructed by the late Amadu Bello when he
instructed his people not to allow us have control of our future, and should be
seen as a conquered territory. Are we a conquered people by some strange people
that believe they are born to rule, conquer and kill? These are a people that
do not hold as sacrosanct what we revere as one. How can we continue in this
Union that was designed to enslave us? How can we allow the lies told by these
strangers to pitch us against ourselves?
AN ADDENDUM TO MY IGBO BROTHERS
I write to you to remind you that you can only fight a lie that was imbedded into the hearts of my brethren by putting yourself in his shoes to know how best to respond. We cannot fight evil with evil. Like we know, they say two wrongs don’t make a right. It is your responsibility to subtly ask those accusing you some logical questions that may prick their hearts to realities. We are all in this mess called Nigeria together. Our Son Goodluck Jonathan was treated the same way General Ironsi was treated, they were both rejected. They were both despised. Both of them wanted a united Nigeria that existed beyond tribes and religion, but what did we see? President Goodluck Jonathan was lucky to escape with his life, but the General was not that lucky; He was tied to a land rover and driven on the rocky tarred roads between Abeokuta and Ibadan till he died and was shredded to pieces. Based on the Alhaji and Kunle’s phone conversation I believe we all listened to, we know that it could as well have happened to President Jonathan if he was not wise enough to let go of their birthright. But can we continue like this? Look at what they are doing to Nnamdi Kanu? These are the same people that organized 70 lawyers to represent the Boko Haram suspects that have raped, maimed and Killed Nigerians, yet the one they choose to lead us says Nnamdi is too dangerous to be released because he has dual citizenship. Is these the kind of place we will continue to belong to when we are likely going to be having malicious morons of this magnitude leading us?

Is these the kind of place we will continue to belong to when we are likely going to be having malicious morons of this magnitude leading us?
I write to you my brothers to
remind you that the Gambaris know for certainty that having broken a greater
part of you into other states in the South-South, it may be difficult to
successfully secede knowing what we know today. So it is inappropriate for you
to remind my own brothers that with or without us, that you will succeed. We
cannot allow the propaganda of these gambaris to keep us apart. We must reject
it by all means and efforts. We stand a greater chance to succeed as one
region. As the older one of the two broken parts of our region, it is your
responsibility to expose the deception that was used to mislead my people. It
is you that will tell my people you do not have any intentions to colonize them.
We have to collectively put these alliance to shame by consciously keeping our
relationship cordial in the region. My dear brethren, I write to request that
you take it as a duty to remind us that we are all one people because in truth,
WE ARE ONE.
THE LOWER NIGER CONGRESS will not
succeed if we do not position ourselves for success. We cannot go to a
referendum with a divided house. We have to all agreed that we cannot continue
in this contraption called a United Nigeria that was not just built on lies and
propaganda, but was designed to fail while it enslaves our people. We have been
battered, raped, disregarded, maimed and killed at will for the past 50 years.
I am talking about the entire Eastern region. While we are being raped and
killed, we are busy seeing each other as our enemy, while the real enemies
smiles at our folly. We cannot continue like this. We should all take the
opportunity presented to us by the UNITED NATION CHARTER ARTICLES ON
SELF-DETERMINATION FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. The Lower Niger Congress, has so far
made presentations to the US Congress on the plight of our people, made a
presentation to the United Nations, and have been able to secure a period by
which the referendum will take place here in our region. But will we succeed
during the electoral process if we are not united? Is it not time we put our
swords into plowshare and see how we can take control of our political,
economic future and Cultural development? The Lower Niger Congress having met
with traditional and titled leaders in all the corners of the Lower Niger
Region believes the project will not be a success if we do not see ourselves as
a united body. We cannot afford to go into a referendum that may be sabotaged
by the propagandas of the alliance of the North. It is our duty to educate
ourselves, educate our relatives, and educate our brethren. It is the best duty
we can do for the generations unborn of our region. This contraception called
Nigeria was never designed to succeed, not with the present fraud of
constitution, not with the present mentality that only a section of the country
were meant to rule, and finally, not with the present odds that accompany those
that make it to the leadership position.
Finally brethren, I appeal to you
all to join hands in actualizing our dream to build a new nation based on
principles, agreed morals, agreed terms and absolute regional autonomy to
provoke developmental competition. This is what the LOWER NIGER CONGRESS IS
WILLING TO OFFER.

BEST SPEECH BY ANY NIGERIAN EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE
ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA:Nigerians, you have voted CHANGE OOO. They are using the advantage of the lack of information, me and my likes will continue to enlighten Nigerians on the reality of the change they voted for.
"I
have now come to the most difficult but most important part of this statement.
I am doing it conscious of the great disappointment and heart-break it will
cause all true and sincere lovers of Nigeria and of the Nigerian unity, both at
home and abroad, especially our brother in the Common-wealth. As a result of
the recent events and other previous similar ones, I have come to strongly believe that we cannot honestly and sincerely continue in
this wise, as the basis for trust and confidence in our unitary system of
government has been unable to stand the test of time. I have already remarked
on the issue in question.
Suffice to say that putting all considerations to
test, political, economic as well as social, the basis for unity is not there,
or is so badly rocked not only once but several times. I therefore, feel that
we should review the issue of our national standing"............Col.
Yakubu Gowon, August 1, 1966.
BIAFRA
Bight of Biafra
True History Bight of
Biafra, also Bight of Bonny, bay in western Africa, in the eastern part of the
Gulf of Guinea, 600 km (400 mi) long. The Bight of Biafra extends from the
mouth of the Niger River in Nigeria to Cape Lopez, Gabon, and is fed by the Niger,
Cross, and Sanaga rivers. Islands in the bay include Bioko (formerly Fernando
Póo), São Tomé, and Príncipe. Principal ports include Malabo, Equatorial
Guinea; Port Harcourt and Calabar, Nigeria; Douala, Cameroon; and Libreville,
Gabon. From the 16th century to the 19th century, the Bight of Biafra was a
slave trading center. However, after the British outlawed the practice in 1807,
palm oil trade became a chief economic activity. In the 1950s petroleum was
discovered in the Bight of Biafra and has become an important economic resource
for the region.
Secession
of Eastern Region.
Major
General Yakubu Gowon, the federation's chief of state, decreed on May 28 the
division of the federation, which had consisted of 4 regions and a federal
territory, into 12 states, 3 of them from the Eastern Region, each to be
autonomous and responsible for law and order. Two days later the Eastern
Region, led by its Oxford-educated military governor, Major General Chukwuemeka
Odumegwu Ojukwu, seceded from the Federation of Nigeria, declaring itself the
Republic of Biafra (named after the Bight of Biafra, an inlet on the Gulf of
Guinea). The secession followed long-simmering hostility among Nigeria's
hundreds of tribes, many of them separated by religion, culture, and language.
The
largest tribes are the 31 million Hausas of the Northern Region and the 12.8
million Ibos of the East. Most Ibos are Christians; they are well educated by
African standards, politically forward-looking, skillful, and energetic. Many
Hausas are Muslim, conservative, and several generations behind the Ibos
educationally. (Gowon, a Hausa, is a Christian; his father was a Methodist
minister.) The long and savage history of Hausa-Ibo violence reached a climax
in January 1966 when Ibo army officers staged a bloody coup against the
Northern-dominated federal government, and an Ibo general (Johnson T. U.
Aguiyi-Ironsi) took over as interim ruler of the country. Six months later the
Northerners struck back by murdering the Ibo chief of state and launching a pogrom
against the 1.5 million Ibos living in the Northern and Western regions. Some
20,000 to 30,000 Ibos were massacred; hundreds of thousands fled back to their
crowded Eastern Region. The embittered Ibos wanted security and more autonomy
for the Eastern Region than Federal Governor Gowon was willing to grant.
The
East's Ojukwu gave Gowon until Mar. 31, 1967, to put into effect agreements
reached at a conference held in Aburi Ghana in January for a loose
confederation of states for Nigeria, promised aid for Ibo refugees, and other
concessions. When the deadline passed without action, Ojukwu hit back by
requiring taxes (about $40 million in 1967) from foreign oil companies in the
Eastern Region to be paid to the Eastern treasury rather than, as before, to the
federal treasury. This act Gowon denounced as 'illegal and unconstitutional.'
Ojukwu responded by seceding on May 30, and Gowon ordered federal troops to
bring the rebellious 'Biafrans' back into the federation.
Civil
War
While
the federal navy blockaded Eastern Region ports to prevent the shipment of oil,
the federal army invaded the Eastern Region. By July it had taken the
university town of Nsukka in the east and the market town of Ogaja in the west
on a 100-mile war front. The relatively small forces on both sides were
augmented by volunteers. The federal offensive halted as Biafran guerrillas
struck back in confused clashes between wandering groups of ill-trained armies.
Fighting the federal troops to a standstill, the Biafrans, joined by mutinous federal
soldiers under Ibo officers, took the offensive and captured Benin, capital of
the neighboring Midwestern Region, on August 9, thus spreading the civil war to
the second of Nigeria's four regions. Shortage of matériel bogged down both
armies, while radio propaganda from both sides claimed victories. The
Biafran-appointed Ibo military governor of the Midwestern Region declared its
independence. Shortly thereafter, on September 20, federal troops reoccupied
the Midwestern Region and with their coming the formerly tolerant Midwesterners
took a heavy revenge on the half-million Ibos (20 percent of the Midwestern
Region's population) living in their midst. Ibo corpses lined town streets and
country roads.
Relief
efforts
The
federal government's insistence on supervising all foreign relief operations in
war-devastated areas, partly because of the pro-Biafra bias of some relief
agencies, allegedly made for more red tape and a slowdown in meeting relief
needs. On April 11 report from relief workers stated that 50,000 persons had
died of starvation since the end of the civil war. The Nigerian Red Cross
relief operations distributed an estimated 3,000 tons of food a week to 3
million people, mostly children, at the peak of the emergency in March. Relief
operations were gradually reduced in scale and were taken over on June 30 by
the National Rehabilitation Commission, which coordinated the efforts of
voluntary relief agencies. These agencies promised to keep 14 teams operating
until the end of September.
Foreign
Arms.
The
United States prohibited arms shipment to Nigeria. Great Britain supplied light
arms to the federal army but banned plane shipments. Federal forces were
reinforced by the arrival of a reported six Czech L-26 jet planes and six
obsolete MIG fighters, six MIG trainers, military supplies, and mechanics from
the Soviet Union. The Biafrans obtained two obsolete B-26 bombers and a few
helicopters. It was estimated in October that the civil war had cost both sides
$140 million for arms so far. The federal government asserted that Portugal was
aiding the Biafran cause.
Biafra's
Capital Taken.
In a
radio broadcast on October 1, the seventh anniversary of Nigeria's
independence, Gowon appealed to Easterners to abandon their secessionist
leaders and promised Ibos their rightful place in the federation after the
civil war ended. Shortly afterward federal troops slashed deep into Ibo
territory and rained shells on the Biafran capital of Enugu. By the end of
October the civil war had reached a decisive stage with the toppling and
emptying of Enugu and the encirclement of Biafra on three sides. Ojukwu offered
his resignation, but Biafra's House of Chiefs and Consultative Assembly gave
him an overwhelming vote of confidence and promoted him to full general, thus
seeming to halt hopes of a negotiated peace. An offer to negotiate a cease-fire
had come earlier from the leaders of the Organization of African Unity meeting
in Kinshasa, capital of the Congo, in September. The arrival of their
six-member peace delegation was postponed several times.
Biafra
1970 Civil war ends.
Organized
resistance in Nigeria's 30-month, bitterly fought civil war ended January 12
with a declaration of surrender over Biafran radio by Major General Philip
Effiong. He succeeded secessionist leader General Odumegwu Ojukwu, who fled
January 11 to asylum in the Ivory Coast. Unconditional surrender was accepted
on January 15 by federal Nigerian leader Major General Yakubu Gowon, who
declared general amnesty 'for all those misled into attempting to disintegrate
the country.' He added: 'We have been reunited with our brothers.' The end
became imminent on January 10 with the collapse of Owerri, Biafra's third
provincial capital, and on January 12 Uli airstrip, Biafra's last link with the
outside world, was captured. The civil war took an estimated 3 million lives,
including many Biafran children and women, and cost over US$840 million
according to the federal government.
Unsuccessful
Peace Talks.
Peace
talks began with unsuccessful secret sessions in London during January and
February. More promising preliminary talks in early May led to an agreement
that peace negotiations should begin in Kampala, Uganda, later that month.
These talks, however, made little progress and were cut off by Biafra on May
31. At the August 5-September 9 talks in Addis Ababa, under the auspices of the
Organization of African Unity, the warring representatives again deadlocked.
Federal Nigeria has insisted that Biafra give up independence as a condition
for peace; Biafra has replied that only autonomy can save the Ibos from
massacre. On August 12, Pope Paul VI appealed for an end to the civil war. At a
September meeting in Algeria, the OAU passed a resolution calling on Biafra to
cease its fight for independence and to cooperate with Nigeria in seeking
peace. Most of the 40 OAU member nations themselves contain tribal minorities
with easily awakened antagonisms toward their central governments. It is feared
that Biafra's success might prompt other rebellions and lead to a balkanization
of Africa. Nigeria's ambassadors have played upon this fear in the capitals of
African nations.
At
least one Biafran friend altered her stand. Dame Margery Perham, an Oxford
University specialist on Africa who in August declared Biafrans as
'overwhelmingly the injured party ... who dare not surrender,' changed her mind
on a subsequent visit to Nigeria. In September she broadcast a plea to Biafrans
to surrender as the only way to save millions from death and starvation.
Reconciliation
and reconstruction
An
international team of observers reported on January 16 that neither widespread
starvation nor mistreatment of Biafrans had been found in the areas visited
between Port Harcourt and Owerri. Secretary General U Thant of the UN, in Lagos
on January 18, also reported no evidence of violence or mistreatment of the
civilian population. In Lagos on February 19, U.S. secretary of state William
P. Rogers praised Nigerians for their 'vital work of reconciliation and
reconstruction.' Such early favorable accounts were marred by later reports of
severe troop misbehavior, continued scarcity of food, and slow disposal of
relief supplies. In February, 35 Catholic priests were jailed and fined for
breaking immigration laws, and 64 missionaries, including ten nuns, all active
in Biafran relief work, were deported. On August 15 decree stated that any
public servant who supported the rebellion would be dismissed or forced to
retire. The federal Ministry of Information clarified the decree on August 17
by stating that its purpose was not to penalize all officials but only those
who were proved to have exhibited 'undue enthusiasm' in furthering the
rebellion. Gowon announced on April 20 that former Biafra would be reinstated
as the East-Central State on an equal basis with the other 11 states in federal
Nigeria. The state would be led by Ukpabi Anthony Asika, an Ibo who had been
appointed administrator of the East-Central State in 1967 and who had remained
loyal to Nigeria during the civil war.
The
government made a flat exchange payment, worth $56, to each of the 200,000
persons who had deposited Biafran currency in the Central Bank. Railway
restoration was begun in areas devastated by war, some night flights were
resumed, the eastern ports of Port Harcourt and Calabar were opened to foreign
ships, telephone lines were restored between Lagos and Enugu, government
incentives were offered to villages to organize rural development projects, and
a number of schools were reopened. Today we
the Biafrans under platform of Indigenous People of Biafra marked 30th of May
2016 to commemorate our 50 years of survival. We have been killed, murdered,
maginalized, oppeessed and raped still we are forging ahead to restore our
loving country stolen from us by Britain. Glory and praise be to Chiukwu Okike
Ahbiama! Isee!

BIAFRA
Nnamdi Kanu's continued detention and eventual release has sparked the restoration of Biafra. The rate at which nigeria is currently languishing in abject economic woes is alarming but this is owned to the fact that the fulani / hausa led government have so made this already cursed country a place where corruption is legal and upheld, in fact you are a hero in the evil contraption called Nigeria if you are corrupt, if you say the truth you are looked at as a devil and in this regards they plan your hurt or a way to eliminate you for saying the truth. Nigeria a country who unlawfully detained a freedom fighter for agitating for self determination which is a universal law, a country where a different thing is practiced from what is in the constitution.

Nigeria a country who unlawfully detained a freedom fighter for agitating for self determination which is a universal law, a country where a different thing is practiced from what is in the constitution.
Let me opinel that the only reason
hausa/fulani and their enslaved yorubas clamor for one Nigeria is because of
the oil rich gotten from biafra land, it is the same reason they are fighting
for Biafra restoration from been actualized even as they (hausa/fulani) continue
on their secret mission of islamising Biafrans. How come Biafrans are been
killed on daily basis using the DSS, Army and Police to maim, kill and
intimidate us and nobody is saying anything about it, they are bent on sending
biafrans into extinction because they know we are peace loving people who have
remained calm, resolute and formidable despite the height of abuses and
injustices we have received, this is seen in the continued Nnamdi Kanu court
trial for agitating for self determination and judges have been seen and
confirmed to be bribed to compromise their judgement in favor of Buhari and his
cohorts in the evil contraption called nigeria.
Nnamdi Kanu as all knows is agitating for self determination as enshrined in the UN and nigerian constitution but this is what the DSS on the orders of Buhari has tagged treasonable felony, it is to be noted that Nnamdi Kanu has been previously granted bail by two courts which the DSS on the orders of Buhari denied him and instead of facing contempt of the court the are allowed to walk the streets untouched but instead returns to the same court to charge KANU of treasonable felony, isn't this funny and makes a caricature of the judiciary who is supposed to be unbiased in a sensitive case like this? I am appealing to the ICC and all necessary international bodies to take cognisance of the level of abuse of human rights on Nnamdi Kanu and act fast to avoid a repeat of this in other places, IPOB has remained peaceful in their agitation despite the fact that they have been maimed, murdered, killed by BUHARI'S Army and police for agitating for self determination, and they have resolved to continue been peaceful , resolute and formidable no matter the face of danger they are subjected to .Nigeria is afraid of Biafra because they are whiter than white and truthful in their quest for Biafra.

Biafra: Enemies in our midst (3)
/ in Opinion / on Monday, 18 Apr 2016
Continued From Last Monday
As for the agitators, posing as a threat to the sanctity and unity of Nigeria let me recall some declarations made by those who are today celebrated as Nigeria’s founding fathers to that effect: Chief Obafemi Awolowo (1947) Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression.
There
are no Nigerians in the same sense as English, Welsh or French… Sir, Abubakar
Tafawa Balewa (1948) Nigeria’s unity is only a British invention. Sir, Ahmadu
Bello (1960) the new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our
grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We
use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the South as a conquered
territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow them to have
control over their future.
Dr.
Nnamdi Azikiwe (1964) The Nigerian idea still remains a lie. It is either we
make a conscious effort to let it be true by constructing a ‘salad bowl’
country or let each group migrate into its own civilization. Gen. Yakubu Gowon
(1966) there is no basis for Nigerian unity which has been so badly rocked not
only once but several times.
I
decided to represent these proclamations so that our kinsmen in Enugu State
would stop playing to the gallery and say what they have on their minds. It is
either they do not want Ndi Igbo to operate in their state or they are trying
to curry favour with the current occupants of Aso Rock.
From
all that drips from the lips of our founding fathers, is it not obvious that
Nigeria was never created to be united and will never be united unless certain
conditions are met? Again, I don’t see how harmless Igbo youths demonstrating
against the injustice meted out to them and their parents would constitute
danger to Nigeria sanctity and unity.
Once
more, I advise our kinsmen in Enugu State to knock at another door, unless they
are suggesting that Nigeria’s unity can only be sustained by the continuous
shed of Igbo blood and the Igbo remaining as the dregs of the Nigerian nation.
The issue is that, once any Nigeria begins to shout “One Nigeria, Our unity is
nonnegotiable etc.”
it is
either he has schemed himself into a position, where he can dip his greedy
fingers in the till that contains our common wealth or he is posturing for an
opportunity to be there. The oil wealth that rolls in, mainly from the South-
South and South-East zones is the only reason why Nigeria still exists as one
entity today.
Fortunately
for Nigerian power brokers, the people of these zones have been rendered
prostrate that they lack the strength to whimper, even when they are being
repeatedly raped. Don’t be deceived, if there is a reverse today and Nigerian
petroleum is relocated to Yoruba or Fulani land, Nigeria would cease to exist
as an entity and no one would be able to stop an Arewa or Oduduwa Republic
emerging immediately.
The
declaration by Gen. Sam Momah, former minister of Science and Technology and an
apologist of Gen. Buhari, that it is preposterous, subversive and felonious for
some people to be talking about the resurrection of a dead Biafra at this time,
can also be viewed as the utterances from a misguided Igbo and an archetype of
a serving Igbo public official.
Finally,
Ochereome Nnanna, a veteran columnist and Igbo defender, in his two volume
articles, on November 12 and 19, 2015, pontificated that Ndi Igbo should eschew
demonstrations and continue to engage the Nigerian political process as a means
of achieving their goals in Nigeria.
He went
on to compare the Igbo agitation with that of the Boko Haram and that of June
12 episode. He advised that as a landlocked people, Biafra would be unviable,
since the surrounding minority entities would not be part of Biafra. He
cautioned that there is no bloodless route to secession from Nigeria;
therefore, Ndi Igbo should never again be part of any anger-driven separatist
caper such as the Biafra episode of 1967-1970, insisting that the agitators
should not engage in activities that would jeopardize the current heights that
Ndi Igbo are presently occupying in Nigeria.
I
always admire Mr. Ochereome Nnanna as a fearless and factual writer. Therefore,
I share some of his views as regards to the issue at hand. My only problem with
his pronouncements is how it could be possible for Ndi Igbo of Nigeria today to
appease a Northern oligarchy that must rule and subjugate them and the Yoruba
irredentists, whose preoccupation is to hold the Igbo down and force them do
the Yoruba bidding.
How
many more sacrifices would the Igbo make in Nigeria before they can be accepted
and their rightful place guaranteed? Since last year, Chief Emeka Anyaoku,
former Secretary General of the Common- Wealth and other notable Nigerians have
been making calls for the restructuring of Nigeria to reflect a true federal
system but nobody is listening.
What do
we do when calls for a panacea to most of our problems are ignored and rejected
by an oligarchy holding tight to what their progenitor, Sir Ahmadu Bello,
expounded in 1960? Today, the Igbo have been systematically decimated and
turned to a weak minority group without any political leverage to occupy any
major post in Nigeria’s political horizon.
The
worrisome part of it is that, recently, Sen. Bola Tinubu, and his own group of
Yoruba, for their selfish reasons, have decided to align with the Fulani to
maintain the prevailing structure that he and the NADECO group previously
sighted as the main clog on Nigeria’s wheel of progress during the June 12
episode.

FOUNDING
FATHERS FAULTS
"ONE NIGERIA"...
BUT NOW, ONE
NIGERIA ON THE
BLOOD OF
BIAFRANS
BIAFRA:
Nigeria is a country created by
Fedrick Luggard, a British machinery and named by his girlfriend Flora Shaw.
This name simply means a geographical area occupied by "nigers" or
"black people". Incidentally, our surrounding neighbouring countries
are as well black nations, so we all are "nigers" or blacks. Africa
as a whole is a continent of black people, so Africa as a continent is a
"niger" continent. So naming the three nations that made up the
country Fedrick Lugard's girlfriend named "niger area" or "Nigeria"
makes no meaning, because all other areas in Africa are "niger areas"
too. And this is why the founding fathers, at various times made it clear that
there is no basis of Nigeria's oneness. Hear them...
Chief Obafemi Awolowo (1947), 33 years
after the Luggard/Flora cocktail was tested had this to say.... "Nigeria
is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression". This shows to what
extent Chief Obafemi Awolowo understands the non-workability of the concoction.
A nation is formed through an organic process and not by amalgamation. This is
why he said that Nigeria is just a geographical expression and not a nation,
therefore not a workable arithmetic. Another notable founding father has his
own reservation to Lugard's creation. Hear him....
Just a year after Chief Obafemi Awolowo
made his observation, in 1948, Sir, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa made his own
observation thus.... "There are no Nigerians in the same sense as English,
Welsh or French…" in other words, expressing the fact that, as Chief
Awolowo put a year earlier, "Nigeria is not a nation" as the Welsh or
French" because, we are never a nation but "a mere geographical
expression". He made it clear that "Nigeria’s unity is only a British
invention". So what are we still doing together as a country 68 years
later?
These two notable founding fathers
observed the non-workability of the concoction called Nigeria. Now when all
these forerunners' observations of the non-workability of the Nigeria nation were
not taken into consideration and have the concoction disbanded, the country was
finally granted a flag independence in 1960, and Sir, Ahmadu Bello (1960)
positioned the new country now as their forefather's estate.
Hear him,...."the new nation called
Nigeria should be an estate of our grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must
ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the North (he
recognised that the North is in the minority), as willing tools and the South
as a conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us and never allow
them to have control over their future. So the idea of this country in the mind
of the Northern politicians is that this country belongs to them and that they
are born to rule, by force and subjugation and bloodshed. How soon shall our
people know this? So at any point when an Hausa-Fulani is not the Head of state
or President, the average Hausa politician sees it as an abnormality. Is this
how a country should be?
The next person to lend his disdain over the
formation of this time bomb is Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe (1964). Hear him.....
"The Nigerian idea still remains a lie. It is either we make a conscious
effort to let it be true by constructing a ‘salad bowl’ country or let each
group migrate into its own civilization". God spoke to the founding
fathers of this country that the country is not supposed to have been formed in
the first place, but all those He spoke to refused to do something about it.
Zik said the idea of bringing Arewa, Oduduwa, and Biafra together as a country
is a lie....adding...it is either we make a conscious effort to let it be true
by constructing a ‘salad bowl’ country.... "A Salad bowl" contains
various ingredients that are all "raw" but in our imagination we
accept it as a delicious menu, with all its sour taste. Zik continued....if we
could not make the salad bowl, ...."let each group migrate into its own
civilization". I ask again, why did they not move for the disintegration
of the country after realising it is not workable.?
The last but not the least, General
Yakubu Gowan, (1966). Gowon said, "there is no basis for Nigerian unity
which has been so badly rocked not only once but several times". Is this
observation not enough reason for Nigeria's disintegration? But No, it did not
happen.
After all these observations of our
founding fathers that there is no basis for Nigeria unity, why is now a slogan
that "unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable". What is it that has
changed since 1948.
We agree with Chief Obafemi Awolowo that
"Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression". Yes
because, there is no common culture, ideology, religion and value system
in Nigeria. How can you co-exist and relate with people whose religion and
culture prescribe different punishment for the same offense and whose ideology
present a very wide gap between the other people? There is no homogeneity in
anything. How can you co-exist in same geographical space?
Sir, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa said,
"there are no Nigerians in the same sense as English, Welsh or
French…" Yes, the Welsh, are one people, same culture, religion, and value
system. The English have same religion, culture and value system and same is
the French. But What about Nigeria? The religion of the North is different with
that of the south and West. The culture of the North is different from the one
of the South and West. And their value system quite miles apart. How true can
one be when Sir, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa said: "there are no Nigerians in
the same sense as English, Welsh or French…".
With all these pre-independence and
post-independence observations of our elder statesmen as to the non-workability
of the Lugard concoction, why did they continue to patch it up till date? Now,
in furtherance of the northern subjugation agenda, the north has continued to
sustain the existence of this evil entity with the blood of Biafrans. But that
has got to stop
If the founding fathers would make the
observation that the country Nigeria shouldn't have been born in the first
place, the recent utterances of Gen. Sam Momah, former minister of
Science and Technology who as a matter of fact is an apologist of Gen. Buhari,
should be taken with a pinch of salt because it lacks all ingredients of
knowledge.
Ochereome Nnanna, a veteran columnist and
Igbo defender believes in the struggle of the Biafrans but does not wish
for a repeat of 1967-70 episode. This is like trying to make an
omelette without breaking an egg. We are yet to come up with the
technology that will give us that in the present Nigeria entity whose
sustenance must be in the blood of Biafrans.
Now the final onslaught is set, to
unleash the next genocide on the Biafrans having put the entire Biafra land
under siege with armed to the teeth Boko haram soldier waiting for
Buhari's command.
We are therefore putting the entire world
on alert as to the plans of General Mohammadu Buhari against Biafrans. He has
broken all known laws in Nigeria and international. He has broken all human
right laws known to man. He has corrupted the judiciary, the legislature, and
the executive. He has made it mandatory to the judges at the high courts in
Nigeria to subvert the course of justice just to achieve his personal desires,
just as he abducted the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra and director
of radio Biafra London, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, detained hum unlawfully, tortured him
with his DSS, denied him bail unlawfully, and defied court orders and moved to
murder him in Kuje prison with his DSS, but for the timely intervention of the
prison guards.
Nigeria is a lawless state and Biafrans
want nothing but an independent referendum to
go out peacefully from the entity called
Nigeria.
Written By Ikechukwu Nwaorisa
For Biafra Writer
Biafra
issue is not that emotive to Igbos. The only
thing that is emotive, is the
way Nigeria is not wanting
Biafra to go.
The fact is that majority of Nigerians misconceive what secession entails and
are this paranoid about it.
The Igbos trooping up North on a daily basis to live or trade
doesn't stop Igbos from having their own country, United Kingdom created 4
separate home nations and yet, england is main home to Scottish, Welsh and Irish
businesses.
The Igbos owning 70 % of homes, estates, plazas and hotels in
lagos and abuja doesn't stop Igbos from owning their own country.
After all, Jews own America and come to Israel on visa and yet
they're proudly Israelis.
The Igbos will still sell in Kano, lagos, abuja etc markets as
foreigners with their Biafran embassy issuing them passports, better dignity
& international standard protections just like Lebanese, Chinese etc that
operate here.
The process of secession in international laws has advanced, and
is no longer fight and acrimony like in 1967, so, my dear Fulani soldiers, stop
spoiling for brutality and those waiting for abandoned property to seize, sorry
to disappoint, but that ain't happening.
Igbos don't even need political leaders to guide them to Biafra.
It is a movement and as such it is the masses that decide.
Check the process of the failed Scotland bid and the recent
successful break up of nations across the world. They're masses driven.
Gordon Brown the former British PM, and all prominent Scottish
politicians, celebrities and sportsmen all campaigned for Scotland not to
secede, yet, they couldn't stop the plebiscite and Scotland nearly seceded,
Britain conceded so much powers and autonomy to them, that Scotland has eaten
it's cake and still has it. It is a country within a country.
Therefore Igbo prominent men and politicians will be no
different and are not expected to fight for Biafra.
Modern secession is a vote thing, and the masses carry the vote
in democracy, not wealthy individuals, so, those Aba protesting masses are the
ones to decide, not coscharis & Rockview owners.
Biafra will eventually come, and it will bring with it, that
illusive value and premium placed on the heads of poor Igbo traders in the
north and other corners of Nigeria.
This is because, they'll operate as expatriates with visas and a
functional embassy of Biafra protecting them and taking up their grievances and
forcing nigeria via international medium and laws to compensate adequately for
their burnt goods or other infractions.
The Igbo federal civil servants, company and bank workers will
transfer to the Biafran branches of same agencies, banks and firms and some
logistics on pensions and savings will be worked out.
These things are orderly and the UN have perfected the art of
dividing nations.
The Ijaw man fearing Igbo man taking his oil, should know that
Igbos have oil & gas in four of their five states, plus coal etc. The Igbo
will pay internationally determined prices to use wharfs that are close to them
and buy oil & gas from their neighbors, so, fear not too much. Equally,
under international maritime and aviation treaties, Biafrans must be allowed to
use wharfs around them and pay the prices, unless the nation in question wants
sanctions and pariah.
As most western nations have shown, it is not resources that
make a country rich. As nigeria has also shown, abundance of resources don't
make rich countries.
It is brain, grit, meritocracy, ingenuity and patriotism that
advances a nation. The Niger deltans can yet join the movement rather than sit
and doubt Noah while he builds the ark.
Anyways, the present arrangement the Niger delta has in nigeria
is the worse arrangement for a resource rich area in any part of the world, and
I authoritatively tell you this.
The fact that nigeria stubbornly under Fulani influence refuse
to restructure will naturally break up this space.

Politics OPINION: How Buhari's Open Support For Fulani Janjaweed
Could Plunge Nigeria Into ‘Darfur’ & ‘Rwanda
, Thursday
at 2:00 PM.
1.
Dangers Of Fulani Janjaweed In Nigeria: Why State
Political & Security Actors Must Tread With Caution & Learn From Darfur
& Rwandan Human Disasters
The Janjaweed are a militia that operates in Darfur,
Western Sudan, and Eastern Chad. Using the United Nations definition, theJanjaweed comprised Sudanese Arab tribes, the
core of whom are from the Abbala (camel herder) background with significant
recruitment from the Baggara (cattle herder) people(source: Wikipedia 2016).
Since 2003, the Janjaweed has been a major player or party in
the bloody conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan; fighting the Sudanese Liberation
Movement/Army and the Justice and Equality Movement. The violent
conflict killed 200,000-400,000 civilians between 2003 and 2007 with hundreds
of thousands of others maimed and millions of others displaced. In 2008, the
United States declared the killings in Dafur as genocide and attempts to wipe
out African tribes of Darfur in Sudan. The SudaneseJanjaweed is commanded by Sheikh Musa Hilal;
named in 2004 by the US State Department as one
of the leading Janjaweed commanders and genocide criminals in Darfur Sudan.
The worst of it all is that the Janjaweed was and is still a proxy armed
opposition group fully backed by the rogue Government of Omar Hassan al-Bashir,
who has riotously ruled Sudan since 1989 (27 years). In early 2006, many Janjaweed elements were absolved into
the Sudan Armed Forces including the
Popular Defense Force and
the Border Guards. The riotous and rogue Government of
Omar Hassan al-Bashir ensured these by creating the office of the Minister in
charge of Humanitarian Affairs & Darfur; headed
by Ahmad Muhammad Harun. Defying the UN Security Council’s call on Sudanese
Government todisarm the Janjaweed, the UNSC later referred the
Darfur civilian butcheries for the investigation and prosecution of the trio of
President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, principal Janjaweed commanders including Sheik
Musa Hilal and Ahmad Muhammad Harun (minister in charge of Humanitarian Affairs
& Darfur) by the office of the Prosecutor for the International Criminal
Court (ICC); leading to issuance of international arrest warrants to the trio
on 14th of July 2008; accusing and charging them for masterminding the attempts
to wipe out African tribes in Darfur through a campaign of murder, rape and
deportation using and arming theJanjaweed armed opposition or proxy
State actor group. Just recently, the South African Constitutional Court ruled
that “President Omar Hassan al-Bashir ought to have been arrested and handed
over to the ICC when he attended an AU function in the country in 2015”.
President Bashir had also announced that he will step down in 2020 when his
current autocratic tenure/regime ends in the same year.
The historical demystification and analysis above is to bring to the fore the
ongoing replication of theJanjaweed disastrous
episode in Nigeria where the country’s spy or secret police (DSS) has lately
exposed the Government’s preferential treatment of a section of the country,
which the DSS referred to as “Hausa-Fulani citizens” as well as treatment of
those referred to as “Fulani Herdsmen” as the “untouchables”. Till date, the
Federal Government of Muhammadu Buhari and its security forces have not stopped
condoning, aiding and abetting the atrocities of the Fulani Terror Group
(erroneously called “Fulani Herdsmen”). Most calamitous of such atrocities is
ceaseless massacring and abduction of innocent Nigerians; mostly of Christian
population and mainly of rural background. Most,
if not all those behind the Fulani Terror atrocities in Nigeria are still on
the prowl; with none under diligent and comprehensive criminal investigations
in the country or any part thereof; not to talk of prosecution.
The recent investigation carried out by the public
security and safety department of Intersociety clearly demystifies the pattern of
violence and its application by Nigeria’s newest Janjaweed (Fulani terrorists).The
summary of the investigation shows that there exists a strike force or well
coordinated military wing, which is well trained and better armed; with proxy
and illicit supplied small arms. It further discloses that the Fulani herdsmen
as seen by ordinary Nigerians on daily basis with their herds of cattle do not,
by themselves, usually carry out the killing, massacring and abduction of their
innocent preys; but they provide basic intelligence, surveillance coverage and
bases for their military wing to unleash their mayhem on unarmed and innocent
citizens. That is to say that as they take their herds of cattle into the rain
forests and southern communities; they identify their potential preys; encircle
them and notify their military wing through well established and coordinated communication
modes. This basic intelligence, identification of their potential preys and
bases are mostly done in the daytime; while armory and personnel movements and
attacks are mostly carried out at night and at hours of the blue law. Hit and retreat characterizes their attacks
and their weapon (small arms) depots and movements are clearly and tactically
mapped out and made highly secretive.
These, at times, are known to their kinsmen in the country’s security forces,
who also aid and abet; particularly in securitization areas where they are at
helm of operational affairs. Sometimes security forces openly aid and abet the
well coordinated massacre of unarmed and innocent Christian dwellers by Fulani
Terrorists (i.e. Agatu massacre). The motive behind this well coordinated and
carefully orchestrated violence is agro-ethnic
and politico-religious. We
also understand that an executive sponsored or proxy bill is before the
National Assembly, seeking to make it mandatory or by fire by force for grazing grounds to be created in every State
for the Fulani Herdsmen and their terror militancy. Executively speaking, the
Governors of the country’s 36 States particularly those of the rain forests
have reportedly been given a matching order by the Presidency to source for
lands and earmark them for “Fulani Herdsmen”. With
these and more, the Government of Muhammadu Buhari can never escape individual
and vicarious liabilities for the atrocities of the murderous and butchering
ethno-religious fundamentalist group(Fulani Janjaweed).
The Fulani Terror Group; Nigeria’s newest Janjaweed, has continuously spread its
terror to major rain forest parts of Nigeria and other southern communities,
targeting Christian population, who are mainly rural farmers. The Terror Group
is now the world’s fourth most deadly terror group, according to the Global
Terror Watch Index (GTWI). In 2014 alone, according to GTWI, it killed at least
1,229 unarmed citizens and in seven months of 2015 (January-July), it killed
631 unarmed civilians and between June 2015 and April 2016, it has killed over
900 unarmed civilians. In 2010, it stormed Dogo na Hauwa Community in Plateau
State and massacred over 500 mostly rural Christian farmers. Just recently,
hundreds of mostly rural Christians in Agatu area of Benue State were
slaughtered by the Janjaweed.
Till date, the Terror Group’s killing spree is yet to be abated or check-mated
by Nigerian authorities. Killing of unarmed villagers and abduction of
Christian missionaries by the Terror Group have continued in Enugu, Benue,
Delta, etc. In all these, the Federal Government of Nigeria, led by Gen
Muhammadu Buhari has notoriously exhibited its gross “unwillingness and
inability” to tame the scourge. As
a matter of fact, the Fulani Terror Group is now a militia arm of the Buhari
administration.
The unfolding drama over the highly contentious claims by the national
directorate of the DSS that “five Hausa-Fulani citizens were recently
discovered to have been abducted, murdered and shallowly buried by IPOB in
Umuanyi Forests in Isiukwuato LGA of Abia State, alongside other indiscriminate
shallow graves containing 55 dead bodies”; is a clear attestation to the
foregoing. The Government of Abia State has issued a categorical statement,
debunking the claims and further informed that “neither the State DSS, nor the
State Police Command or Army heard and has such report”.
With this strong denial, the onus is now on the national directorate of DSS to
prove to all Nigerians and members of the international community, satisfactorily,
“where, when and how 55 dead bodies including “five Hausa-Fulani citizens” were
abducted, murdered and shallowly buried by IPOB in Umuanyi Forests in
Isiukwuato LGA of Abia State”. The
DSS bogus claims must not be allowed to be swept under the carpet. Such a
statement coming from the country’s secret police, which it influenced to be
aired on a number of strategic international audio, audio-visual and tabloid
media like the Press TV, Aljazeera, etc; has the capacity of plunging Nigeria
into unquenchable ethno-religious genocide and butcheries.
The proof being demanded from the Service, will further be accompanied by the
following unresolved questions in addition to those contained in our first
public statement of April 10, 2016, which are yet to be addressed by the
addressees:
1.
Are the names of “five Hausa-Citizens” exist or concocted?
What is the name of the fifth person?
2. Are there really
shallow graves with 55 dead bodies in Umuanyi-Isiukwuato LGA? If they truly
exist, who and what made them to exist?
3. How do they link to
“Hausa-Fulani citizens”?
4. Are there communal
clashes in the area?
5. Have there been
clashes between Fulani Herdsmen and host communities in the area?
6. Have there been
extra-judicial executions in Abia State by Police, Army and vigilante groups
and if yes, where do they dump or bury their victims?
7. How does IPOB come
into this?
8. Who are the IPOB?
9. Does IPOB also include
possible non-State or communal actors?
10. Does IPOB maintain
camps or have bases in forests?
11. When did the so-called
killing and shallow grave dumping of 55 dead bodies including “five
Hausa-Fulani citizens” take place?
12. When did IPOB group
and pro Biafra agitation become locally pronounced in Nigeria to the extent
they now run killer-camps in forests?
Also, the haste and urgency
with which the Government of Abia State responded to the DSS infantile
allegation and claims is a further attestation of the fact that in Nigeria “all
animals are equal but some are more equal than others”. In other words, the sleepless concern
of the Government of Abia State; likewise its Imo counterpart, is rested on the
fact that “five Hausa-Fulani” citizens were mentioned in the humiliated claims
of the national headquarters of the DSS. Singling
out the media for attack and condemnation, leaving out the sole author of the
statement (DSS) is also a height of executive jittery and cowardice; more so
when the same author (DSS) has not come boldly to state how and where it was
quoted out of context or misquoted by the media.
The Government of Abia State saw nothing wrong in the shocking discovery of 13
murdered bodies suspected to be members of IPOB in a burrow pit in the State;
discovered and witnessed by Intersociety,
SBCHROs, IPOB, Amnesty International and the media; but got panic when the DSS
concocted its own “five Hausa-Fulani citizens” mantra; for woefully failed
purpose of labeling IPOB and Igbo Ethnic Group as “terrorist group and enclave”
locally and internationally so as to plunge Nigeria into Rwandan Genocide and
justify tactlessly the massacre and maiming of hundreds of unarmed and
nonviolent citizens of the Southeast extraction.
Finally, we call on Nigerian leaders, politicians and security forces and their
chiefs to learn from the calamitous experiences or lessons of the Rwandan
Genocide and Darfur Butcheries. While the Darfur Butchery butchered
200,000-400,000 civilians in three years (2003-2006) with other extreme
humanitarian catastrophes; the Rwandan Genocide massacred almost one million
civilians in the three months (April 6 -July 23, 1994) and generated millions
of refugees and displaced civilians; leading to the death of more 200,000
civilians owing to starvation, hunger, and diseases in the refugee camps.
This month (April) marks the 22nd anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide;
perpetrated by non-State actors backed by government with deployment of
instruments of hate speech, including a privately run radio station that
constantly promoted a genocide jingle called “operation nettoyer” (operation
clean up Tutsis). The Tutsis were labeled “cockroaches” and massacred in their
hundreds of thousands within three months. The root cause of the butcheries and
genocide in Rwanda and to a large extent, in Burundi also rests on agro-ethnicity; with
Tutsis as nomads and educated and Hutus as farmers with limited education. The
rift became age-long following its ceaseless fueling by the country’s colonial
and post-colonial political and military actors.
The Fulani Herdsmen and their military wing (Fulani terrorists) in Nigeria,
fully backed by the Government of Gen Muhammadu Buhari have become the Sudanese Janjaweed and the Rwandan Banyamulenges; all supported and backed by
the Governments of the two countries (Rwandan under Gen Juvenile
Habriyarimana-July 5, 1973 – April 6, 1994). Gen Habyarimana was assassinated
in office during the first day of genocide on April 6, 1994 by rebels of the
Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). The RPF is still in power in Rwanda till date.
It is our stern warning that genocide and widespread butcheries are steadily
looming in Nigeria and the menace of Nigeria’s newestJanjaweed; condoned and aided by the
Government of Buhari, has risen to an apogee. The Government of Gen Muhammadu
Buhari must disarm and stop aiding and abetting the military wing of the Fulani
Herdsmen or appears to be doing same before it is too late. Citizens
traditionally and excusably take up arms or resort to dangerous self help
whenever they see or perceive Government to beincapable, unable, and
unwilling to protect
their security, safety and fundamental liberties from malicious and criminal
State and non-State actors.

The Janjaweed are a militia that operates in Darfur, Western Sudan, and Eastern Chad. Using the United Nations definition, theJanjaweed comprised Sudanese Arab tribes, the core of whom are from the Abbala (camel herder) background with significant recruitment from the Baggara (cattle herder) people(source: Wikipedia 2016).

PRESIDENT MUGABE OF
ZIMBABWE IS
A MAN
TO BE HONORED
AMONG THE
AFRICAN
LEADERS:-
Since long time ago African leaders were ruling with no wisdom, understanding and ruling tendencies and because of this its citizens were also suffering through many agonies, wandering place to place in search of their livings, even they are dying in silence for the cause of inadequate security of lives and properties.
Today, I am glad that most of us were now coming up to make use of our good initiatives in order to correct the past mistakes, yet others turns their deaf ears to the needs of the citizens, vowed to die in chief mistakes, dancing to the tune of whites people in various countries of Africa with no knowledgeable idea that the whites are the contributors to the African problems since the time immemorial, mostly the Europeans. Search one book title “How Europe underdeveloped Africa” – by Walter Rodney, which states “The development of Europe is under development of Africa”.
My dear good readers, I will like you to read great meaning into this statement and come back with your senses. All the whites in the various parts of the World today has developed hatred on Mugabe- the gentle President of Zimbabwe, just because he stopped the British farmers in his country. The bone of the contention stands that He has quarrel with Tony Blair- the prime minister of Great Britain. He was opposed by Mugabe and this quarrel polluted the mind of Mugabe to stop the farmers and repatriated them. It happened that after the British farmers harvested what they cultivates in Zimbabwe, they carried the produce to England, while the citizens of the fertile Zimbabwe remain in absolutely poverty and hunger. Though for many years, they occupied large land for the farming system, but Mugabe seized this vital opportunity to sweep them away. I considered the act of British farmers crooked and negligence to the Zimbabwean’s Government.
How can Europeans making use of Africa rich mineral resources and fertile land- developing their countries, while Africa remain underdeveloped as they regarded us the third world countries. Imagine the third world countries yielding riches and development to the 1st and 2nd world countries, yet Africa are restless by them.
This reminds me of what the notorious General Adolphus Hitler-the man of 1st and 2nd world war said during the war in his open statement. “That he shall conquer the whole world and use Africa as farmer land.” Today, who can give the accurate information or
give the details about General Hitler of Germany. All the Africans are waiting for him because what he planted in his farm land is now ripped for harvesting. God of Africa is a lives and ready to restore us in our past glories because he knows his children wherever they are. Some Africans are Jewish, having the blood of Jews, following the familiar cultures with the Jews.
One thing we lacked in Africa is unity, love, honesty and even the time when we approach to unite and having some qualities as was decent, the whites will use a kind of international politics to disorganize and destabilize every atom of good conduct of being one entity bound in love so that we will lie in low
esteem.
No wonder one proverb says “the position of Eagle does not pleasing in Raven’s heart”. -that the Europeans and some other western world are not happy when they see Africa progressing in any magnitude. This is the main reason the British farmers restlessly counterbalancing the Zimbabwe, trying to use them as worthless tools- before President Mugabe, the man of good conduct, repute, integrity, justice and the guru of Africa took his wise decision in proper accuracy stopped the farmers and sent them out of the country. His wisdom and understanding is emulating and appreciable because he was inferring from God. Think deep down in you, and know that if Mugabe allowed the British farmers to operate with evil motives, the economy of Zimbabweans will collapse.
In his act, I consider him right, for
he is securing the country from political
convulsion, tuberculosis,
epidemic, and fusion. Anybody who within and
outside who considers Mugabe
enemy must be the enemy of God. God is on his side, no weapon fashioned against
him shall prosper- (Isaiah 54 vs. 17). Be courageous
to continue the fight for African unity because the word of a king always
potent. Be strong, so that other African
leaders who are obedient to the core will learn
from you and maintain the good leadership in Africa. And must be wise
in every tendency and step they are
taking with whites.
To argue with this, one may crack his or her brain and come to know the crafty system of America, and the Great Britain in speaking with one voice, making / shading crocodile tears for the help of Africa countries, but there is no leniency and peace in their mind. What they are after is the mineral resources of Africa to enrich the economy rapid growth of their countries, not for the benefits of Africa.
To draw from the war on Iraq which UN chief secretary Mr. Kofi Annan proved unjustified war because he did not signed for the war. America took law into their hands and went for the war for oil bumming in Iraq. No wonder, one English adage says “ Dog does not go where there is no bone”. In Igbo “Nkita (America) adighi eje ebe okpukpu na- adighi”.
In C. N. N open forum, we all saw how some people in American house of Assembly is interested of Kofi Anna’s Resignation for oil for food programme. Can that solve the ridicules of Africa and the world, mostly the war on Iraq which George w. Bush went with no consent of United nations. America should set their inner most minds backward for Kofi Annan’s good job since he was on that hot seat of UN as the chief secretary.
Not the any problem arises from oil for food programme was the issue. The issue was that Kofi Annan was not in support of President W. Bush of America on Iraqis war. Therefore the struggle for resignation shows that America expect Annan o do her wish, but it is impossible for the ends suppose to justify the means.
Mean- while, if Annan happened to be a white person such accusation would not come up.
Recently, they started the debate about the conciliation of African debts, but later said that Africa should pay the sum of fifteen Billion U S dollars ($15,000.000.00) to service debt. Have you realized from this that they have no pity on Africa as was said? They are setting confusion through what they called “Africa aid” Which time our suffering for lack of wisdom and understanding would come to an end?
The person who killed and maimed you is now the person that comes for your help. How do you think this fit my fellow Africans? Push them away, if they persist on misleading, like Mugabe did so that there will be peace, stability and unity among Africa.

The person who killed and maimed you is now the person that comes for your help. How do you think this fit my fellow Africans? Push them away, if they persist on misleading, like Mugabe did so that there will be peace, stability and unity among Africa.
In Africa some leaders are fools by
accepting the enemies as their best friends,
hailing those who are killing,
intimidating, and turning the image of the continent
upside down. I wish African leaders will kindly
tour Europe, America, Asia and other Countries around the globe and see how the Africa citizens were moving like sheep without shepherd, while the whites
living in Africa are given the highest security,
even they are riding upon the height of
Africa, even the kind of privilege given
to them by our leaders has no compares at
all. Imagine Africa citizens scattered abroad
receiving all sort intimidation, molestation and disgrace in everything we do. Coming to Africa, we can see many whites upholding African international
passport, while here before obtaining even the
residential permit, to talk of international
passport you will pass through rigors and
at last they may not like to issue you
the permit.
Taking not of what I’m saying, President Mugabe stopped the British farmers and deported because of the quarreling he has with Tony Blair, which pushed Mugabe to repatriate them. Not only that, the key problem stands that British does not know the importance of Zimbabwe citizens, inclusively Africans.
Now President Obasanjo of Nigeria welcomed them, gave them large land in the west (Ibadan) and Northern part of Nigeria. Ask yourself can they stop such evil act which Mugabe realized before stopping the British farmers or would continue increasing? Woe to Nigeria Government and OBJ! It is only the evil system Africa leaders embracing without the common knowledge that the problem of Nigeria and Africa as of today caused by Europeans. They came to Nigeria and other part of Africa with Bible and Gun / bad advice. It was the same system, which provoked President Mugabe they adopted the time they colonized Nigeria, planted catastrophe as example. OB J what good can your Citizens copy from you and what example can you lay down so that another person should infer from? All your system is zero and odd. By welcoming the rejected farmers by OBJ disproving his fellow president Mugabe, given them large land in the west and north so that
some president in the world would appreciate his effort. I thank God, it was in the west and north, and he gave them, not in the blessed land of Biafra.
What president OBJ is trying to do is underrating the President Mugabe’s good effort of sending the British farmers out of his Country. OBJ is like a man who holds on to a fictitious claim that sees not realistic. A man take a counterfeit money to buy something from you, then instead of throwing the counter, he makes use of it, expressing his happiness that he has spend the money. It is how some African leaders are doing in seeing their citizens in bad situation. Take for instance, the chief mineral resources (oil) is from Eastern Region and upon that Eastern Region left as a Barren woman, just because we fought a war and lost the battle, as they felt to know that the war ended with No victor, no Vanquish”. These entire evil occurrence agonize the heart of good MASSOB to agitate for the freedom or separate development of the blessed Biafrans in Nigeria because it is due for the ill treatment of Nigeria against our people. Now let OBJ and other leaders to have in mind that enough is enough and we shall not fold our hands watching for such stupidity act happening in Nigeria and the entire Africa.
I want to tell us that such evil practice / operation was adopted from the European. Don’t fail to know this before hands. How the one you are helping with your materials can, is now turns to help you? Is it not sound like fools are talking? Oh! Mt God, if the whites realized that Africans are their lives, they would have giving every African citizen a kind of presidential impunity. It is the only thing that will unite Africa and the world, but remember that the Sore will later go, but the wound will still there. The one, who gave you wound, is not capable at all to cure you, rather increasing the face of the sore.
Directly or indirectly OBJ in his act considers President Mugabe as a fool, but he did not understand the semantic of his act. By such act, how African leaders can comes in common unity and love among us. It is another strategic point of disunity between Africa because of disagreement of some of our leaders “Ndikwe na ndi- ekweghi”.
We all know that united will stand, but divided we shall fall. Living in perfect obedience, unity and love will earn us good, therefore let the African leaders learn how to be unite because earlier the better. Can we search the entire Africa circles and find out more leaders like President Mugabe, Mandela of South Africa, Jerry Lawrence of Ghana and Chief Chukwu Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu of Biafra, including Chief Ralph Uwazuruike- the Massob boss? These were determined to die in serving the citizens. For instance, Ex-president Mandela suffered in prison for past 27 years for his people because of the apartheid in South Africa. Chief Chukwu Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu lost all his father’s properties in Nigeria for the sake of protecting the Biafrans citizens from drastic massacre against Nigeria Government.
Ex-president Jerry Lawrence of Ghana eliminated unscrupulous leaders in Ghana and after which the country has peace and sound governance up till date.
Nigeria, as the claimed giant of Africa the past and present leaders, what can people talk about you, good or evil? One thing to note “A good name is to be chosen than wealth and Honesty illumines the path of the upright; but the corrupt are confounded by their own evil..” Be the servant to the citizens not the killers, the oppressors.
See what African leaders do to their citizens’ home and abroad: - numeral mineral resources, but the mismanagement bless African continent of our past and present leaders landed Africa in perpetual Suffering, dying unwarranted death in various places. They has no regard for their citizens, neither their citizens for them. There is no freedom of speech as to express feeling as human right permits. This stopped the poor masses / citizens to do or to say anything because of the fear of intimidation. They are calm in every society. The most painful one is that the leaders are using the poor citizens in securing powers. As we noticed in Anambra state, Eddy Nagwu killed many for the riches, Clifford Orji, Otokoto from Imo and Guru Maraji from Ibadan; all are the agent of Nigeria
Government. All shows that the rich peoples are the committers of crimes, hoping on the privileges given to them.
Our leaders used the money generated from our mineral resources for there own selfish purposes, but their citizens suffer helplessly in abject poverty. They took the money to Swiss bank, America and other parts of banks in Europe, even some individuals in Africa bribed Government not to set their eyes on any of the unlawful act practiced. I am crying because the water has polluted from the top. Ask yourself, “How many foreign Leaders, individuals kept money in Africa banks?
Africa, let us stand with our opinion, decision as to say no to all gratifying system, manage what we have for the betterment of African citizens- not having focus on whites. To tell other African importance, then Africa will tell others your importance. I am encouraging every leader; citizen of Africa to be upright like President Mugabe, Mandela of South Africa, Ex-president Jerry Lawrence of Ghana and Chief Chukwu Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and other good leaders, which I did not, mentioned their names, so that there will authentic peace, and unity in Africa. The peace, unity of Africa is rightly in our hands, let’s face any challenge with God wisdom and understanding, and love to archive our great goals.
America has their fitting cap, Asia has their own, Europe has their own, Australia on their own cap and Africa with their own fitting cap, but we handed our own fitting cap to foreigners, their starts the problems of Africa. And when we maintain our fitting cap, we must to throw away the spirit of hatred, injustice, and killings. As we could remember that in Obasanjo’s regime 1976- 1979, he ordered the soldiers to go and killed Fela’s mother because FELA was challenging him. They killed his mother, by throwing her down from a story building she died. By listening to FELA’S music, one may understand what our Government and the government of world are doing through injustice, mismanagement, misconduct, nepotism, partiality, tribalism, fraudulent, corruption, embezzlement, and antagonism.
Here is my little advice as an Advocate of Biafra in Greece, all these about President Mugabe, the British farmers, other whites, and Africans. All happened for the lack of not realizing the importance of each one’s greatness in any country. Whites failed to know the importance of African, and then Africa also failed to recall the little good deed of whites, but only that whites expect Africans to do her wish as they felt to be God. As soon as each one leader both in any continent around the world knows the value or importance of each other, there will be nothing like race and racism. Living in peace and harmony will be our best limit. Whites and blacks are the same; therefore we all must to know that the dignity of a man does not show in color. What makes you what you are God and in his image all were created.

Millions Of Followers, Says BIAFRA Is Here
Leader of the indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu has commended
his followers for continuing with the pro-Biafra agitation.

sitting in Abuja delivered his message through the group’s spokespersons.
According to IPOB spokespersons, Dr. Clifford C. Iroanya and Barr.
Emma Mmezu, the detained Radio Biafra director gave the message during a
solidarity visit to him in the prison.
They quoted him as saying:
“I wish to commend and congratulate millions of IPOBians the world
over, whose tenacity and exemplary steadfastness to the course is and will
always remain a great source of joy and inspiration for me.
“It is noteworthy and very commendable, that despite the spirited
antics of our adversaries, the struggle has gathered the desired, awareness,
momentum, sympathy and outright support, way beyond our expectations.
“Your total commitment to the struggle and your determination and
focus as a well disciplined mass movement has gotten the attention of the world
and frightened the enemy stiff.
“As our journey to the promised land progresses beautifully, since
we left Egypt, it is important to always remind ourselves that our progeny will
forever remain grateful to us for our many sacrifices today. We are almost
there.
“As the oppressor panic, they unwittingly wobble from one blunder
to another, time is running out and Pharaoh and his army clearly has no choice
than to let my people go. I remain very proud of you all. Thank you.”
