There will be no movement in Biafra land May 30 – IPOB Declares!

 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Sunday insisted that there was no going back on the May 30, sit-at-home order for the 50th anniversary of the declaration of the Independent State of Biafra.
IPOB stated that all Biafrans, no matter the states they were located, must honour and remember the heroes and heroines of the 1967 to 1970 Nigeria-Biafra war.

In a statement by the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, the group said while there would be no human and vehicular movement in Biafra land, Biafrans in Diaspora would take to the streets of their respective countries of residents around in peaceful procession.
“We, members of IPOB and our leadership worldwide would like to restate once again to the people of Biafra that all the states in Biafran land, must shut down on May 30, 2017 in honour and remembrance of heroes and heroines who laid down their lives during the genocidal war against the people of Biafra between 1967 and 1970.

“The people of Otukpo, Idoma and Igede in Benue State, Igala in Kogi State, Igbanke in Edo State, Calaber, Yanegua, Warri, Uyo, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Abuja etc, will shut down on that day for the 50th anniversary of the declaration by Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and his second in command, late Major General Philip Effiong of the Independent State of Biafra on May 30, 1967.

“Also, those who paid ultimate sacrifice in the battle field and protests in our land that this present generation might live will be honoured and remembered, including those massacred in Asaba in 1968.
“They will be honoured with a two-minute silence at 12 noon.
“We expect every man, woman, child and businesses to observe this great annual event by staying at home and never involve in any business activity on that day.

“There will be no movement in Biafra land both human and vehicular while Biafrans in diaspora will take to the streets of their respective countries of residents around the globe.

“That will be the least we can do to show them and God Almighty ‘Chukwu Okike Abiama’ that this generation of IPOB and those to come will remain indebted to them that gave their lives to stop the elimination of Biafrans from the face of the earth.”

The statement further said special prayers would be offered in Okikirka Grammar School in Ijawland, the home town of late Chief Frank Opigo “who, by the divine inspiration advised the supreme leader and Commander in Chief of the Biafran Armed Forces, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and members of Eastern Consultative Assembly that our God given name is Biafra.

“Holy men and women will pray at the ancient and spiritual sites of Arochukwu and Enugu on that day,” he revealed

 


TENSION IN ABA, AS MAD MAN PREACHES ABOUT BIAFRA.


There was a heavy tension in aba today as a mad man was seen preaching about Biafra.

The incident happens at cemetery market aba, close to amaogbonna road, inside main park Cemetery, it all started like a joke, when people were seriously doing buying and selling, unknown mad man, started to preach about Biafra to people, with a heavy voice, saying “ (cha.. cha.. cha. Chaaa… NNAMDIKANU EMMANUEL….. Biafra have com…. Biafra have come….. Biafra have come…)” people were in disbelieve as of what they were seen and hearing.

When people started to ask him some questions, he answered them with a good reason, saying… it just a matter of time, in the spirit world, Biafra have come.

Someone ask… when is Nnamdikanu going to be released? He smiled and shout “CHA CHA CHA NNAMDIKANU EMMANUEL. NNAMDIKANU have been released already, they next court will tell.
Behind the drama… people started talking that it is IPOB NEW WAY OF PROTEST.

Meanwhile… the mad man was busy shouting CHA CHA CHAAA... NNAMDIKANU EMMANUEL

This man u see here said I join the biafran to fight for their survive because it has become obvious that killing them has become a Nigeria business. We must remember him comes May 30 by sitting as Homes

30th may a day like no other days..... It comes once a year...Motor....IN GOD WE BIAFANS TRUST 
The Month of May seems too long abeg, I had to cut my Facebook sabbatical short especially in the light of recent events. Abeg no vex, I'm back.
30th MAY: IPOB SIT-AT-HOME ORDER - WHY?
30th of May 2017, IPOB plans to demand all South Easterners to stay home. Why? Is it a public holiday? Perhaps its the commemoration of the Biafra War of 1967-1970? Noteworthy is the fact that 30th May 1967 has significance with the declaration of the Republic of Biafra by Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu. The war officially started a month later (July 1967) and lasted 2 years with ample losses on both sides.

No where in the 5 South Eastern States has 30th May been declared as Public Day of Remembrance of the gruesome war that shook Southern Nigeria to its foundations. Not even Ojukwu's birthday is commemorated by the entire Igbo nation and the many groups claiming to represent it - Ohaneze, MASSOB or most recently IPOB. Maybe we aren't good in marking historic dates. Or perhaps we prefer to forget.

72 years after the Second World War, Israel, Germany, Poland, England and the whole of Europe wont forget the happening that defined them. They mark it judiciously and set up remembrances and Institutions that promote peace and seek justice for the victims. From the war, Israel and other nations greatly persecuted during Hitlers pogrom have risen from the ashes and today they reign as world powers. In my homeland, 47 years after the needless Civil War, my race - The Igbo Race has risen from the debacle that would have wipe us out and like Israel and others, we hold the Economic Trump Card to Nigeria.

Sadly, no remembrance or Institution has been set up to fight the injustices of the war as other nations who went through the same wars have done punishing perpetuators and getting compensated. Maybe that ended with Justice Oputa's Truth and Reconciliation Panel. But really, 30th May has no significance to the Igbos only until IPOB declared a sit home order recently.

Not one Government or Socio Cultural Body has marked 30th May as a Day of anything. Call it a Day of Soberness or the Day of the Celebration of Victory. Nothing. As a matter of fact, we have no common Igbo day. None. No heroes day, no Cultural Day, Language Day, Peoples Day. Nada.

Now IPOB, an organisation with no clear ideology or belief asks the people who are globally known to hold the Economy to sit home and we all agree? Why? To protest what? To prove what? Power? Impact? What? When our brothers and sisters were killed in Nimbo, Enugu asides the online screams and insults to the Enugu Governor for his emotional response and the rally cry to kill Fulani herdsmen, no socio-political or cultural group went there to assess the situation, provide solace, medical aid or whatever kind of support to the victims. Not IPOB, Ohaneze or MASSOB. The concept of My Brother's Keeper doesn't apply here.

University Fees skyrockets, Health Systems fail, PMS in the East higher than other places, Domestic Violence, Gender Disparity in Education in the East, infrastructure, Crime etc doesn't draw IPOB's attention and of course it won't. No public debate, symposium, lecture ever! 30th of May should be marked at the Civil War Museum to show our kids the proof of the war and our Ingenuity. No. We rather stay home.

Never has IPOB shown concern for its followers in any humanitarian form, neither have they deployed strategies to assist in anything. No new school buildings, hospitals, scholarships, loans, grants, at least to prove they care. Now they ask people who have not seen any benefit from them to sit at home?

Why?
                                                  
 HERE COMES ANOTHER GREAT BIAFRAN HERO.
FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW HIM ,HIS NAME IS TIMOTHY ONWUATUEGWU. A TRUE BORN BIAFRAN MAN WHO ABANDON EVERY THING HE HAS TO FIGHT FOR BIAFRAN FREEDOM.
HE IS THE BRAIN BEHIND OJUKWU SPECIAL BRIGADE WHICH DEALT A FATAL BLOW ON ENEMIES IN MANY PLACES.
HE HAS EVERY CHANCE TO GO IN THE PART OF SABOUTAGING JUST AS BANJO AND IFEAJUNA BUT AS A TRUE BIAFRAN MAN HE BELIEVED THAT GOOD NAME IS BETTER THAN SILVER AND GOLD ,AND THAT IS WHY HE IS BEEN REMEMBERED TODAY AS ONE OF BIAFRAN WAR LEGEND.
IT REACH A CERTAIN TIME DURING THE BIAFRAN WAR WHEN HE BECAME ONE OF THE MOST WANTED BIAFRAN SOLDIER BY NIGERIA FORCES.
TO WRITE EVERY THING ABOUT TIMOTHY ONWUATUEGWU IS LIKE TO USE LEG FROM BIAFRA LAND TO GHANA.
HE ESCORTED OJUKWU TO URI AIRPORT WHERE HE REFUSES TO BOARD WITH OJUKWU INSTEAD HE SWORE TO FIGHT UNTIL LAST DROP.
HE WILL BE REMEMBERED EVERY TIME BECAUSE HE PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN BIAFRA WAR.
TODAY SOME ONE LIKE NNAMDI KANU HAVE DECIDED TO EMULATE THAT SELFLESS LIFE OF ONWUATUEGWU.
My Fellow Biafrans I Almost Wept When My Junior Sis That Is Teaching In A Primary School Was Telling Me What Her Children That She Is Teaching Told Her Today IN School. It Really Touched Me, She Said That The Little Children Told Her that there Will Be No School Come 30th May That She Should Go And Tell there Headmistress That 30th May Is Biafra Day And That They Wont Come To School Because they Dont Want Blood In there Hands It Was So Passionate #BIAFRAISHERE







Biafra Day celebration, IPOB insists on sit at home order despite police warning

Biafra Day celebration, IPOB insists on sit at home order. The IPOB has insisted that the people of the region will comply with sit at home order sensitization campaign despite the police warning.  The group implore all the South East states to obey the order to fully celebrate the 50 years of declaration of Biafra.

You will recall that the Enugu State Police Command has warned the Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, and the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, against forcing people of the South East to stay indoors on May 30, day slated to celebrate Biafra Day.

A statement issued yesterday by Amaraizu reads: “The Enugu State Command of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, wishes to inform members of the public, particularly the good people of the state, that its attention has been drawn to an alleged sit-at-home order being circulated by groups of persons masquerading under the aegis of Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, among others.

But the IPOB has vowed to ignore the warning and advice the people to obey the sit at home order.
 On 12 July, 1968 jets of the Nigerian Federal Government bombed the Aba General Hospital, killing Biafran civilians. Fighter jets fighting for the Nigerian Federal Government, many of them Egyptian, targeted civilian areas during the Nigeria-Biafra war, avoiding direct fighting with the Biafran Army.

Biafra Heroes Day Prayer/ Programme
Biafra Anthem: Land of the Rising Sun
Land of rising sun, we love and cherish,
Beloved homeland of our brave heroes;
We must defend our lives or we shall perish,
We shall protect our hearts from all our foes;
But if the price is death for all we hold dear,
Then let us die without a shred of fear.
Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation,
O fatherland, this be our solemn pledge:
Defending thee shall be a dedication,
Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege;
The waving standard which emboldens the free
Shall always be our flag of liberty.
We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal,
And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass;
When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal,
We shall remember those who died in mass;
Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song
Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong.
Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall,
Guide all our movements lest we go astray;
Give us the strength to heed the humanist call:
To give and not to count the cost’ each day;
Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness,
To make this clime a land of righteousness.

They lived with faith and hope .Not all but most. And surely most died with faith in God Chukwu Abiama, in life, in the goodness that even flames cannot destroy May we find a way to increase the strength of that faith, that trust, that sure sense that life and soul endure beyond this body's death.

And on this we commit our Being in pursuit of Biafra Nation that the Souls of those who have died may find rest in YOUR PRESENCE.
