 Why we’re against Ohanaeze summit on Restructuring —IPOB

Published April 8, 2018

The Media and Publicity Secretary of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Emma Powerful, in this interview with TONY OKAFOR, explains why his group is against the Ohanaeze summit on restructuring and other issues

[Full unedited version]

Question: Why is your group kicking against the Ohanaeze summit on restructuring?

Answer: Ohaneze Ndigbo have outlived their usefulness. An organisation that claims to represent the interest of the people but are actively engaged in undermining the collective aspiration of the same people they claim to be working for should not exist. Ohaneze Ndigbo is organisation that have soiled it's hands in the blood of the innocent. Nnia Nwodo, Gov. Dave Umahi and Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu are the brains behind Operation Python Dance II. Is it conceivable that Pa Ayo Adebanjo or the respected Afenifere leadership will take the pains of traveling to Abuja to beg the Fulani rulers of Nigeria to use the Nigerian military to invade Yoruba land to kill Yoruba sons and daughters agitating for their freedom? Despite the well documented violent tendencies of OPC, no Yoruba representative ever called for their cold blooded execution by the military. Arewa Consultative Forum never condemned a full blown terror outfit like Boko Haram; they are actively working with MACBAN (Fulani herdsmen) who are the fourth most deadliest terrorist organisation in the world. Have you heard of any word of condemnation of the activities of Fulani herdsmen from any of the northern leaders till date? But Nnia Nwodo and Dave Umahi traveled to Abuja no less than three times to plead with the arch enemies of Biafra to launch a deadly military operation to wipe out IPOB leadership in cold blood. Nnia Nwodo and South East governors cannot initiate the assassination of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and countless other unarmed agitators and hope to benefit from their evil deeds by conducting public meetings as if nothing happened. To allow Ohaneze Ndigbo to keep operating as normal, given their treachery and murderous mindset would mean condoning the worst form of abomination in our society. They are in effect accessory to murder after the fact. They are responsible for the death of hundreds of victims of Operation Python Dance including our leader and if anybody thinks we will easily forget what role Nnia Nwodo and Dave Umahi played in this matter they are clearly mistaken.

Question: What evidence do you have against some Igbo leaders that you accuse of sell -out?

Answer: Evidence abound as to the catalogue of treachery and betrayal by this group of political merchants masquerading as leaders and elite led by Nnia Nwodo's Ohaneze Ndigbo. South East governors in concert with Nnia Nwodo's Ohaneze Ndigbo proscribed IPOB for no reason other than greed, envy and jealousy. Do not forget that they proscribed IPOB before the army did which was later followed by the ruling of the Fulani judge Justice Kafarati. The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) cited the proscription of IPOB by South East governors as the key reason why IPOB should be tagged a terrorist group. Go and check the court papers it is there. What other crime could be worse than inviting your enemies to invade your land to kill your so-called children or those you claim to be leading. Nnia Nwodo, Dave Umahi, Okezie Ikpeazu, Willie Obiano, Rochas Okorocha and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi actively sought military intervention from the Fulani administration of Muhammadu Buhari to come and kill Nnamdi Kanu, his parents and IPOB agitators in Afaraukwu Ibeku Abia State on the 14th of October 2017 under the guise of Operation Python Dance II.

Other traitors such as Kalu Idika Kalu were busy boasting at a gathering in Lagos that Operation Python Dance was a welcome development. Before the invasion of the residence of our leader, three separate meetings were held in Lagos, Enugu and Abuja to obtain the agreement of supposes Igbo leaders that the death of Nnamdi Kanu during the invasion of the 14th of October 2017 would not elicit any public outcry or condemnation. Those privy to this conspiracy of silence are; Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, Ken Nnamani, Jim Nwobodo, Ebitu Ukiwe, Kalu Idika Kalu among others including some corrupt traditional rulers.

The meeting of Igbo leaders at Nike Lake resort convened by Ohaneze Ndigbo to give Igbo public approval to the murder of hundreds of IPOB agitators by the Nigerian Army is an abominable act before God, before the spirit of our ancestors and before man. Some traditional rulers were given 500,000 each to purchase their silence on that fateful evening at Nike Lake resort. If not for the timely intervention of some senior clergymen who opposed what Ohaneze Ndigbo were doing, the motion to condemn IPOB, who were unarmed and being killed by the army, would have carried.

Dave Umahi traveled to Benue State and boasted before MACBAN and Benue leaders that he single handedly crushed IPOB. Nnia Nwodo on his part not only made similar boasts but went as far as sponsoring a few inconsequential individuals to issue press statements to the effect that IPOB is now divided. The whole nonsense about a certain non-existent 'Okwudili' a factional leader of mirage IPOB is the creation of Nnia Nwodo and DSS. They floated a rival station rbi (Radio Buhari International) to challenge Radio Biafra and perpetuate the myth that IPOB is divided in order to destroy our agitation for freedom.

During one of the meetings between our leader and South East governors at Enugu Government House, Dave Umahi and Nnia Nwodo invited DG DSS Lawal Daura to observe the proceedings. Nnia Nwodo cannot issue a public statement on behalf of Ohaneze Ndigbo without first emailing a draft copy to Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar and former IG of Police Ibrahim Coomasie for approval. Nnia Nwodo is more interested in Abuja political appointments that saving the Igbo nation from impending danger of Fulani murderous domination. Everything Nwodo does is for the advancement of Fulani hegemonic interest in Igboland and Biafra in general.

Why is it that innocent IPOB agitators are still locked up in prison when Boko Haram terrorists are being released and Fulani herdsmen are quite literally being treated as untouchables and above the law? Why is Ohaneze Ndigbo not against Fulani herdsmen the same way it has come out against IPOB? The sins of Ohaneze Ndigbo is too numerous to outline here but we know that their time has come to an end under the leadership of Nnia Nwodo.

Question: You threatened to disrupt the summit and cause bloodshed. What if soldiers descend on your group since it has been proscribed?

Answer: We shall protest and heckle which is also our democratic right. Our reference to bloodshed is specific. If the Nigerian Army were to open fire on protesters, then Nnia Nwodo, Dave Umahi, Okezie Ikpeazu and co will feel the wrath of the people. They can't expect to be killing other people's children that did them no wrong or harm and expect nothing to happen to their own.

Soldiers descending on us is nothing new, we are used to it but at the appropriate time they will all answer for their crime. It's not a question of if but when. No commanding officer responsible for the deaths of IPOB agitators will ever go scott-free. At the right time we shall hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice even if they run to Niger republic. This generation of Biafrans is unforgiving, that is one thing our enemies must know.

We recognise the right of people to peaceful assembly but Ohaneze Ndigbo never accorded IPOB the same right because if they did, they would not have asked the military to attack IPOB whose sole crime is to assemble, associate and exercise their right to free speech. There is nothing Nnia Nwodo and South East governors can point to and say this is what Nnamdi Kanu did to us or against the interest of Biafrans but for sheer envy and jealousy, they arranged for him to be killed by Fulani soldiers in Nigerian Army uniform.

Question: Why are you insisting that the Ohanaeze should support your referendum agenda?

Answer: Because referendum is the will of the people. No right thinking intelligent being will subscribe to the ludicrous notion of one Nigeria unless that person is a thief, suffering from identity crisis or lacking in self confidence that only belonging to a wider Nigeria can hide. If Ohaneze Ndigbo is in doubt as to what our people truly desire, they should conduct a plebiscite. Why are they afraid of going to the people to ask them what they want? More intelligent people like Gov. Dickson and former governor of Delta State Ibori have stated clearly that referendum is the way to go. Ohaneze Ndigbo cannot decide for the people, IPOB too cannot decide for all the people of Biafra, that was why we opted to ask the people what they want. Power resides with the people not a few yes men placed in power by the Fulani caliphate on behalf whatever higher interest they are serving.

The era of a few gathering together in a mosque somewhere in the North to draw up a constitution for the people has come and gone. Ordinary people will decide how they want to be governed and led not a few compromised individuals. Should Biafran people vote in a referendum that they want to remain in one Nigeria then we remain in Nigeria, but Nnia Nwodo and his Ohaneze Ndigbo or whoever for that matter, cannot decide for us. Other ethnic nationalities should adopt the same approach if they want to free themselves from the bondage that Nigeria has become. Rather than complaining about ethnic cleansing and army colluding with the military to wipe out non Hausa Fulani populations in the Middle Belt, people from affected areas should band together to demand their freedom from the domineering Fulani caliphate. Freedom for all ethnic nationalities that make up Nigeria is the only way forward.

Question: Don't you think that restructuring can also address your agitations?

Answer: Restructuring is not a panacea for the ills bedeviling Nigeria. The only solution is outright dissolution. Restructuring is a product of a flawed intellectual argument devoid of common sense and rational thinking. You cannot fuse together divergent, competing and often irreconcilable value systems into one monolithic geo-political space. Even USA as diverse as it is, operates under an irreducible value system of equality, freedom and market economy. What obtains in Nebraska also obtains in Alaska. Saudi Arabia, which is the beacon of excellence for Fulani power brokers, is a homogenous country in terms of their value system. It doesn't matter who you are, once you are in Saudi Arabia you become subject to Islamic rule. When a US citizen visit Saudi Arabia, he or she knows not to drink alcohol in a public place. Likewise when a Saudi visits the US, he will also learn to live with scantily clad women drinking and smoking in public places without molestation by any religious police.

Now imagine forcing Saudi Arabia and USA to live in the same country as one nation. This is exactly what is happening in Nigeria today and why there can never be any meaningful human development. Hausa Fulani people are feudal and Islamic in outlook whereas Biafrans are liberal, democratic, republican and Judeo-Christian. How can these competing value systems ever merge to produce the lifeblood of sustainable nationhood. Some non-Biafrans are shouting one Nigeria and restructuring because they are afraid of losing oil revenue and bring left alone with the core north. Your one Nigeria and restructuring debate is borne out of economic desperation rather than cold logic. Should oil wells in Biafraland dry up today, Nigeria will divide within minutes along ethnic lines.

Those that have selfishly benefitted from the status quo should boldly come out to say they cannot survive without a share of the oil revenue hence the hypocritical clamour for one Nigeria. The only thing that unites Nigerians are crude oil and fear of the unknown after breakup, nothing more, nothing less. Restructuring will only result in the perpetuation of this false marriage. Let the people decide, that's all we are asking for.

Question: Is your threat to kill Ohanaeze leaders' children, a means to intimidate them or you are really serious about it?

Answer: If they kill our children we shall also kill their children so they know how it feels to bury a loved one. Had Nnia Nwodo, Dave Umahi, Okezie Ikpeazu and Willie Obiano lost their children before now at the hands of the Nigerian military, do you think they will readily invite the same army to kill other people's children? We have nothing to lose anymore. Should we fold our hands and allow them to keep killing our children, they would only become more emboldened because they lack conscience.

We would like the media to focus more on the atrocities these men committed through their invitation of the Nigerian Army into Biafraland. We are not going to Ohaneze Ndigbo public meeting to kill anybody, we are going to make sure we let the world know who they are dealing with in Nnia Nwodo, Okezie Ikpeazu, Dave Umahi and Willie Obiano. All we are saying is that if our children are shot and killed again at any Ohaneze Ndigbo event, the children of Ohaneze Ndigbo leaders will suffer the same fate.

Question: What is your group doing to produce Nnamdi Kanu in court so that Senator Abaribe and others won't lose their N300m bail bond?

Answer: It seems there is deliberate effort on some parts of the media to misrepresent the facts concerning the sureties and bail bond forfeiture process. Isn't it worrying that most people who claim to be educated feign ignorance of the fact when it comes to the issue of the disappearance of our leader. Have you forgotten Operation Python Dance II and the invasion of the home of our leader? Why won't the media do some investigative journalism to discover what the army was doing there. Every journalist worth his pen have seen the video footage shot live during the army invasion which the GOC 82 Division Enugu admitted to have also watched live on army video feed back to the headquarters during the invasion. As a journalist conducting this interview are you saying you did not see what happened between the 10th to 18th of September 2017 across Abia and Rivers State? It was ascertained that our leader was in his bedroom during the invasion, who, in the opinion of any tight thinking person, should produce Nnamdi Kanu? Those that carried out the invasion with the intention to kill or the 28 dead IPOB members slain at the scene?

We expect responsible journalists to do their work by asking the Nigerian Army, Nnia Nwodo, Dave Umahi and Okezie Ikpeazu what became of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The idea of asking IPOB to produce him is implying that IPOB family members dressed up in army uniform and stormed his residence killing 28 people in the process. Mind you it won't be beyond Lai Mohammed to spin such narrative.

Any keen observer of the proceedings at Binta Nyako's court will tell you that the nonsense being reported about the sureties going to jail or forfeiting their bond money is patently false. Justice Binta Nyako never made such pronouncements as reported in certain sections of the media. The fact of the matter remains that the sureties have never had an opportunity in court to present their case before now because the prosecution has been following the wrong legal process. Abaribe's lawyer corrected this anomaly during the last sitting which the court agreed with. The court compelled the AGF to follow the right process of service which they are now doing. How can a surety go to jail or forfeit his bond when a court hasn't ruled on it yet. This trial by media must stop and journalists owe it as a duty to their readers and public at large not to help this government sway public opinion by reporting what is inaccurate on the pages of newspapers.

At the end of this whole legal process the world will understand precisely what happened at Nnamdi Kanu’s home because Buratai and his men will be cross examined in a court of law under oath. One outcome is certain at the end of this case, the army will produce our leader.

Don’t Come To Ekiti To Campaign For Buhari – 

Fayose Gov’t Warns Orji Kalu 

The planned visit of former Abia State Governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, to Ekiti State has been rejected by the Ayo Fayose-led State Government.

The government advised the former governor to, “take his advocacy for peace to other parts of the country where security of lives and properties of Nigerians is under threat, not Ekiti State that even the Police adjudged as the most peaceful State in the country.”

Kalu, who is acting as the Chairman, Advisory Board for the National Movement for Re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari, has embarked on a tour of the South West purportedly to advocate for peace, fairness and unity of the country with a view to rallying support for the President’s second term bid in 2019.

However, Ekiti State Government, in a statement issued on Saturday, by the Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said that, “There is no threat to peace and unity of Nigeria from Ekiti State for anyone, including Orji Kalu to address. Therefore, he should not expect to be welcomed to any palace in Ekiti State.”

The government urged traditional rulers in the State to ignore the former Abia State governor, saying; “it is an insult on the collective sensibilities of Ekiti people, whose only benefit from the government of President Buhari is hardship occasioned by the government’s cluelessness for anyone to hide under advocacy for peace to canvass support for the President.”

The government said it was unspeakable that because of his EFCC case, Orji Kalu saddled himself with the task of doing image laundering for a President whose government is inflicting sufferings on Nigerians.

The statement reads further; “If he has sold his own conscience to the agenda of selling an already rejected product to Nigerians, we in Ekiti State have not, and we are telling him categorically that such advocacy is not welcome in our State.

“He should rather take his peace and unity advocacy to his own State, where he is already rejected and other States where Nigerians are being killed on daily basis by armed bandits.

“It is also ridiculous that instead of joining Nigerians to tell the President the truth about the state of affairs in the country, Kalu is castigating Nigerians that have summoned courage to speak out against the President through letters and public comments.”

82 Division ENUGU boils ..

As soldiers opened fire on each other.

#BREAKING: Tribal War At The Army Barracks, 82 Division Enugu. Three Soldiers Feared Dead

Yesterday really showed the divide among the ethnic groups that make up Nigeria as men of the Nigerian army opened fire on each other with at least three soldiers feared dead.

EASTERN RADIO gathered that the cause of the shooting and killing was as a result of ill treatment of the Igbo soldiers as to concerning peace keepings.

According our source, 82 Division Nigerian Army Enugu were giving a mandate to shortlist about 54 soldiers to join hands and combat Niger Delta Militants uprising, which the GOC Brigadier Gen Ibrahim Attahiru assigned to two commanders who hails from Northern and another from South Western Nigeria respectively.

But owing to disunity, nepotism and tribalism that beclouds the Nation Nigeria, these commanders shortlisted all 54 Igbo soldiers.

One of the enlisted Soldier who was saddened by the outcome of this list questioned the process used to enlist only Igbo Soldiers to this mission of death. The commander picked offense and demanded to know what gave him the audacity to question him, talk more off conceiving to disobey a military order.

The said Commander in display of anger pulled out his gun and shot this young soldier on the forehead, killing him instantly. Another soldier who is among the enlisted soldiers immediately withdrew his own gun and fired the commander thereby killing him too. He then directed the gun on the second commander.

It became a war ground as soldiers all surrendered themselves. Civilians where all on their heels. There would have been a blood bath in 82 Division Enugu but thanks to imediate intervention by the GOC who calmed the atmosphere of war.

As at the time of filling this report, there is no movement in and out of the barracks.

 

IPOB's position on Buhari's re-election bid 

The leadership and family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide view the decision of the bearer and custodians of the name Muhammad Buhari to seek re-election in 2019 as a welcome development. We have always maintained that the rebirth of Biafra will happen under Buhari or under whoever is answering to his name.

This second coming of Buhari portends goodwill for freedom lovers because God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama wants to fulfill his divine purpose in the life of Biafrans in 2019 as foretold by our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu many years ago. No doubt we have lost a lot of people under the brutality of this terror APC regime, we also  have many innocent citizens in prison and detention facilities across Nigeria with countless miscarriages of justice in their law courts but we remain undeterred, focused and determined, because like Israelites in Egypt, Jews in Europe and Germany, blacks in apartheid South Africa, no amount of tribulation will stop us from emerging victorious as a free people at the end of this process.

We urge our brethren in the Middle Belt and Western Nigeria not to give up or capitulate in this our collective quest to free our people from the shackles of caliphate domination and creeping Islamisation. At IPOB we are continuing the intensification of our global campaign to peacefully bring the existence of this disastrous colonial experiment called Nigeria to an end, in order that millions of innocent lives may be saved.

We are advising Biafrans and other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria seeking to be free from this contraption created by Fredrick Luggard the British mercenary, to remain mentally strong and resolute for what is about to come will test our collective resolve.

IPOB will not relent in its pursuit for total liberation of all territories presently under Arewa feudal Islamic bondage regardless of the human and material cost. The continued existence of this disastrous APC Government led by Major General Muhammadu Buhari and his Fulani cabal, is our passport to freedom.

COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB.

 

         OUR RESISTANCE, OUR CROWN AND GLORY 2.

FOCUS ON , # STOP KILLING BIAFRANS,
# REFERENDUM.

BY Mike Okoria

 

FOR THE BIAFRA RESTORATION VOICE (TBRV).

They moved down to the South Eastern Nigeria in thousands, abandoning their lives investments, their careers and their future. They ran for their lives in a nation they fought gallantly to assert her independence and freedom from the colonial masters, who incidentally had refused to let go same people they hypocritically presume they love.
They left every thing they had and acquired to animals in human clothings , they came home with nothing but their lives in shambles.

Together, they came before the South Eastern Administrator.
The peoples' General, Dim. CHUKWUEMEKA ODIMEGWU OJUKWU and demanded for their outright separation and freedom, they unanimously handed him their mandate and together they defended their sovereignty as a people.
They damned the consequences and looked the treacherous old UK eye ball- eye ball. They were starved, bombed in and out.
Properties were seized, genocides committed, yet they remained focused in the midst of despair and lack.
With the whole world Military hardwares galvanized to obliterate Biafrans from the face of the Earth, yet.
We remained true to our convictions and our rights to exist through our RESISTANCE.

TODAY, I think its another time to remind Danfodio children that same blood that resisted them in the 60s is very much alive and active in this digital and cyber age,.Its same blood and same names, its same identity and SAME GOD. To this effect, any attempts to push us to the trenches invariably would be the greatest mistake of the Caliphate in this century.

IPOB WORLDWIDE has remained peaceful despite unprovoked attacks, we remain focused in pursuit of our civilised quest for freedom, not because, we can't attack or retaliate attacks. We choose to be peaceful, not because we are afraid of war. Very important that Nigeria understand this singular fact.

RESISTANCE is in our DNA, and VICTORY is non negotiable with Biafrans, we have crossed already the red lines, and you don't expect us to go back to our vomit. Better still, don't assume we can't strike back with every accuracy and precision, WE ARE BIAFRANS, we fear no one but GOD.
To this end, #referendum remains your best best,

Explore civilised and Diplomatic options with BIAFRA, engage in bilateral talks with BIAFRA, we can be best of neighbors if you choose, ALL HAIL BIAFRA. 

SUPPORT THE REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA REFERENDUM

Shell Petroleum Development Company, owned by Britain, are going about bribing some people in the Niger delta to reject Biafra.

Britain, leave Biafrans alone. Have you people not stolen enough money and caused enough damages to Biafrans?

Think of this, they told south south people to agree and say they are not Biafrans through their media propaganda, lies and deceit; and some of them fell for it. Now, they have come back to bribe the same people they said are not Biafrans to reject Biafra? Just think. Use your brain.

How can those who are not Biafrans be bribed with money to reject Biafra if actually they are not Biafrans? How? This Britain and their collaborators in Nigeria are really evil people, always trying hard if they can stop Biafra.

This also tells how stupid some people are. How can strangers from far away oyibo land and fugitive and marauding Fulani caliphate give you money to reject your people and your identity so that they will continue subjugating and marginalising you, your generations and you gladly accept because of temporal and immaterial gains? It's stupidity, idiotic and hypocrisy. That was how they came and created this contraption called Nigeria that is allergic to progress and some people in this 21st century are still falling for them, and being deceived with ease to remain in penury and slavery of the caliphate. Unbelievable!

Again, this bribery sphere also infers that (Britain and their Nigerian collaborators) know the truth. They know exactly what they are doing. They know we are all Biafrans. But some people are busy dancing the demonic music of Britain and Fulani caliphate. But let me strongly advice. Please note that whether you realize yourselves early enough and reject their plans or not. Whether you take the bribe and accept their wish to reject Biafra or not, we are leaving Nigeria. Biafra is real and here. Britain and Nigerian government even the Fulani cabals are aware. This time around, with this present generation of Biafrans onboard IPOB freedom mass movement, nobody, no saboteurs, no amount of sabotage from inside and outside can keep Biafrans in Nigeria no matter how they try. Those who want to stay in Nigeria are free to stay, and those who want to join Biafra are also free to join. Igbos are well able, competent, knowledgeable, qualified all round and very capable to build a high standard and enviable Biafran nation of their choice.

Lastly, let me in passing add my voice to say heterogeneous Biafra is good and that's what it has been before the divide and rule them white men came. But instead of prolonging and wasting time trying to carry along everybody and those who are waiting to be consulted and given drink before they agree to be who they are and have been, we can escape this contraption alone and go for homogeneous Biafra if need be. Apologies to our people who have been consistent in asking for Biafra from the south south. You people have been great.

However, not minding the irritating attitudes of some persons towards our collective good and quest for Biafra, I still stand completely with the decision of the great IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi KANU on this, which is heterogeneous Biafra. Let referendum decide it, notwithstanding anyone's opinion.

BIAFRA ABAKALIKI: A FRESH UNIT INAUGURATED 

AT NGBO ABAKALIKI PROVINCE OF BIAFRA. 

BIAFRA ABAKALIKI: (Sunday, 22 April 2018)

The indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Abakaliki province on Sunday 22, April 2018 inaugurated a new family unit at Ndulo Ngbo Ohaukwu in Abakaliki province of Biafra.

The official inauguration of the unit was attended by the top principal officers of IPOB in the province, such as Mazi Igwe Ogbonnaya the  IPOB coordinator Abakaliki province, Mazi Eke Chukwuma the IPOB  secretary Abakaliki province, Mazi Ezeta Ozemena the province protocol officer, Mazi Ogeh Friday Igiri the province media head and others.

Mazi Ezike Wisdom alongside other Ebonyi North senatorial district principal officers led the inauguration team to Ngbo to further propagate the gospel for the total liberation of Biafra from the evil contraption called Nigeria.

Mazi Eke Chukwuma while addressing them who gathered to identify with IPOB and be part of the struggle, urged them to work hard in the course because the work of a man speaks for him or her even when he/she is no more to be found in the land of the living. In other hands, Ezinne Chukwu Jacinta the Ebonyi north senatorial women leader called on the people especially the few women that came out to go and work fervently  in getting more women into the struggle, because they has a lot to do for the progress of the struggle not just in the unit but generally.

Mazi Igwe Ogbonnaya the state coordinator while analysing why the struggle to restore Biafra, explained that Biafrans have being so much persecuted and marginalized in Nigeria through the help of British who created the country against the wish of the three main ethnicities that made up the contraption which comprises Hausa/Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba and other minority ethnicities enclaved. He therefore urged the people to stand strong irrespective of what may come their way because in no distant Biafra will win the battle.

Mazi Ezike Wisdom shortly before he performed the official inauguration, advised them to work closely with the principal officers both in unit level to the national, and try to obey the IPOB chain of command and the bylaws that guide the people, he further urged them to try and pay their monthly dues despite the ugly nature of the economy of the expired entity known as Nigeria, he went on to  work hard towards opening other family units.

Elder Samson Uga who is a Biafra war veteran speaking on behalf of the elders council, after sharing his experience during the bloody civil war in 1967-1970 between Biafra and Nigeria, which Nigeria government led by general Yakubu Gowon (retired) in collaboration with their Foreign allies headed by British, massacred over 3.5 million Biafrans which most of the victims were women and children, assured them that they are strongly with IPOB lead by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and will do anything to see that Biafra is restored as a sovereign state.

The new unit coordinator Mazi Obazi Ahamefuna while addressing his members and those that attended the inauguration, expressed his joy over the activities and the way the people came out massively to join the struggle, he therefore promised to work hard in making sure that the needful is done even as the indigenous people of Biafra anticipate the conduction of their referendum to ascertain either to remain in Nigeria or to go their separate ways   which only the result if the referendum will determine.

WHY IGBO YOUTHS MUST BOYCOTT 

ELECTION ANY WHERE IN NIGERIA

By Elochukwu Nicholas Ohagi

In as much as I hate to begin this rebuttal this way, I must say it that my friend Charles Ogbu lied in his most recent article he titled "WHY IGBO YOUTHS MUST NOT BOYCOTT ELECTION IN ALA-IGBO". I respect friendship and I also respect the personality of Charles, but I can not just see him lie and let it go unchallenged, especially in a crucial matter as this. Charles wrote that in his one-on-one discussion with Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB listened to Prof Ben Nwabueze to cancel the planned election boycott. He used the word "listened" as to mask what he intended to say which is 'agreed' to cancel the election boycott. This is only but a fallacy. This is maliciously concocted by my dearest friend to sell to people his need for Biafrans to jettison election boycott as to embrace election. This is how he intend to drive home his point.
We can still remember vividly the outcome of the meetings held between Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the South East governors, where they begged him to put aside his planned boycott of election. If we have not forgotten so easily, we will remember that Kanu said he will get back to his people, because it is not a decision he can make by himself as IPOB has Directorate Of State that manned it. This does not imply he accepted. He simply said, I have heard you and will relate to my people and come back to you. How then did he 'agree' (listen) to them to cancel the proposed election boycott? If he agreed, then why say he will get back to IPOB body. Unfortunately, Nnamdi Kanu is not here to put the record straight, but all through he was out of prison, members of Family Writers Press and other IPOB Media have always been with him to cover all his events. On no occasion did Nnamdi Kanu agreed to cancel Election Boycott, he only agreed to take the appeal to his people. So tell me how my friend Charles Ogbu got to that conclusion that Nnamdi Kanu agreed to jettison Anambra Election Boycott? An outsider or gullible fellow will just conclude that Nnamdi Kanu would have cancelled the election boycott had it been the army didn't struck. Someone would have concluded that the governors made Nnamdi Kanu understand that election boycott is a foolish idea, when it is not the case. Comrade, this is where you goofed big time.

We are free to pitch our tenth with anyone and with anybody we deemed fit, but we do not have that right to lie against someone, especially someone kidnapped or probably dead as to score cheap points. I am one of those that are not swayed by beautiful words and erudition. I easily pinpoint lies even when they are hidden in lines of poems.

Having said this, I will like to reiterate that it is in the advantage of Ndi Igbo and Biafra in general to seriously boycott this election. We all know that for more than 50 years and still counting, Nigeria has been going on and on to vote, and for more than 50 years they can not boast of voting in their desired candidate. It has been a self imposed leader, someone we all always embrace forcefully.

They say that the "biggest mistake Igbo youths will make is boycotting election of people who will be directly responsible for piloting their destiny". The above quote looks logical and beautiful, but can you please throw in some questions as to know if the above statement can still stand logical when placed side by side with our ordeals and experiences in Nigeria as pertaining to elections in Nigeria. Can Charles Ogbu and those who believe in his line of thought tell us how these people we have been electing since in 70s till now have been piloting the affairs of the Igbo people and Nigeria in general? Tell us if the likes of Governors Willi Obiano, Rochas Okorocha, David Umahi, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and Okezie Ikpeazu are not product of election. Are they not not directly responsible for piloting our affairs? What has these products of our election done for us? What did they do during operation Python dance II? Are they not the persons that sat and proscribed their own youths who did nothing? Didn't their action put us all in harms way? Didn't we all see the fighter jets hovering over Onitsha and Aba? What have we really got since we have been voting?

Charles, I want to let you know that in the history of election boycott around the world, election boycott have never recorded 100% and it can never record such percentage. IPOB is not seeking for a 100% election boycott. We are not even boycotting to unseat Buhari. If you say that if IPOB boycotts, still there will be results, I then also say that if you still vote, as you have been doing for many years now, there will also be results that will produce their own choice and not yours. Is it then proper for us to continue legitimizing their rigging through voting or should we not absent ourselves completely from an election that has continuously yielded nothing but failure. "Nigeria is too primitive for election boycott by any group of people to have any meaningful impact." So tell us those meaningful impact election in Nigeria has produced if not killing, marginalization, inequality and corruption?

For more than miserable 50years we have been voting under the sun and rain. After every election, results that are completely different from the wishes of the people are announced. For how long will this continue? Did we just remembered meaningful impact because IPOB called for election boycott? Haven't these people rule us for four years and go on to contest and win again even when they performed badly in their first tenure? How is it that we have been this way since we have been voting? How did IPOB election boycott suddenly become a problem? Haven't we been bounded by every decision these stooges takes? So what will be different if we boycott and they go on to shamelessly appoint their own stooge like they have been doing since we started voting? For your information, I personally have my PVC, and I am going to boycott with it.

Charles I put it to you that if you truly acknowledge that the country called Nigeria has neither hope nor future for Ndigbo, then you wouldn't have come up with this thought of asking Igbos to jettison the simple revolutionary action they have embraced to run back to voting again.

Boycott is not us cutting our nose to spite our faces. The present governors were s-elected and they sent the military to kill Igbo youths. Elect another and they will still be the puppet of the Fulanis against the wishes of their own people. We have never regarded self determination to be a marathon race. You rightly said "what we have as leaders in Igbo land are a bunch of 'Ndi-abani-di-egwu'. You called them political bandits and crude criminals." And I ask, who then do you want us to vote in? Same political bandits and crude criminals or are you going to import saints from heaven? Don't forget that most of these leaders were not bad before they ventured into politics. Who then corrupted them? Did you cared to trace it? Don't forget that both Governor Rochas Okorocha and David Umahi are products of the same election you are telling us to embrace.

IPOB and other people like me that will join in this boycott are not boycotting because of the notion that boycott with birth Biafra as some of you are thinking. We are not even boycotting because election will be rigged. We are boycotting because we want to register our displeasure with the happenings in Nigeria and even if the shameless Nigerian government through INEC decides to call results, how then will it defeat our goal?

Biafrans will not die because of elections or in the name of protecting useless votes in Nigeria. We have been voting yet we still remain under these rogues. We will not adopt the Bayelsa style, we will rather stop permanently this defeatist elections that have seen us produce 'foreigners' who do not mean well for us.

My dearest friend, this is exactly the point you will have to chose were you truly belong? Are you for Biafra or are you for Nigeria? Are you for Nnamdi Kanu or are you for Nnia Nwodo? This position MUST be taken now and fast. You can not dance further without choosing your side before you put us all into confusion. And I want to tell you that whatever part you chose to be, it is solely your right. But you must as a matter of urgency chose a side.

Enough of this Election!

AN OPEN LETTER TO A LETTERED PRESIDENT

Dear President Donald Trump,

I am delighted to write this warm and heartfelt letter to you. Ever since you emerged as the US President, this is my first time of writing officially to you. Perhaps, words are not sufficient for me to express my joy over the pyrrhic victory you recorded in the last US Presidential election. Though, there was a serious clandestine gang up among the power brokers. Many fought tooth and nail against your candidacy

Media giants, such as CNN, BBC and a host of other media outlets took it upon themselves to defame and run down the political efficacy of your person. But against all odds, you surmounted and rattled many political Thomas in the global politics. Once again, congratulations over your victory and also for the giant stride your administration has recorded in the shortest period of time. I have always believed in the political mojo of your candidacy and that was the reason why Biafrans all over the universe campaigned vigorously for your success when you went to the poll irrespective of the strong repudiations from some political mischief makers that miscalculated our collective resolve

Sir, this letter will be presented in three folds. First, to remind you the plight of the oppressed people of Biafra. Secondly, to bring to your knowledge again, the murderous disposition of the man (Mohammed Buhari) you are slated to meet on the 30th of April, 2018 in the White House and lastly, I will summarise by making a passionate appeal to your government to act now before the situation of things will get out of hand. Remember, a stitch in time they say, 'saves nine'

PLIGHT OF BIAFRANS

Sir, Biafrans are the indigenous people occupying the Eastern part of the British creation called Nigeria. 95% of Biafrans are Christians and republicans in nature. Since the forceful amalgamation of the Southern and Northern protectorate in 1914 by the British economic hitman named Lord Lugard, Biafrans unfortunately have continue to be an endangered specie. Millions of Biafrans have been killed and chased away from their ancestral homes by the marauding children of Othman Danfodio. From 1966-1970, Nigerian government in collaboration with Britain orchestrated the worst genocide in the history of mankind against the children of Light (Biafrans) which saw the starving of one million children to death and the total of 6 million innocent Biafrans losing their precious lives in a war that was completely avoidable

Biafra is a land blessed with rich natural resources and great human potentials. Our natural resources ranges from crude oil, coal, gas, limestone, rubber and many more that time and space wouldn't allow me to outline but in the midst of this plenty, Biafrans are still fraternising with poverty. It is a known fact that Nigeria is called today an oil producing country as a result of the huge crude oil deposit in Biafra land. Even the best brains that navigate the economy of Nigeria are Biafrans. We constitute the economic live wire of Nigeria. Without the material and human potentials of Biafrans, Nigeria is nothing but a walking corpse

Biafrans are facing the worst fate in the history of human race. Shell with other multi national corporations that are into oil exploration have polluted Biafra land through a wide spread oil spillage. Our old retirees can't cultivate on the farm land again (unprecedented oil spillage has contaminate the farm land) and aquatic life totally destroyed.This atrocious act is been executed with an affirmative approval of the Nigerian government. As an oil producing region, coupled with the billions of US dollars that accrues into the government coffers annually, there are no good roads, schools, hospitals, no standard international and local airports, seaports, no job opportunities for Biafrans and the penchant for official corruption is rife. Only infinitesimal nonentities from the region are benefiting from the lopsided structure of Nigeria.These political scoundrels only fight to protect the interest of their family members and cronies at the expense of aggrieved millions of Biafrans scattered all over the world. They have never represented the interest of Biafrans and will never do

Biafrans have continue to live in fear and misery. More than 30 million hard working Biafrans are domicile in Europe, America and Asia as a result of these economic and political emasculation. There is no better life and future for Biafrans in Nigeria hence, the frenzy to seek for a greener pasture beyond the shores of Africa becomes inevitable. A people swimming in abject poverty in the midst of plenty. The most humiliated and oppressed people in the world. How long will this persist? This is an important question that is begging for a serious answer

UNMASKING THE MASS MURDERER CALLED MOHAMMED BUHARI

Sir, frankly speaking, I am highly elated that you have finally invited Mr Buhari to the White House. It is a political move I have been expecting to see for a very long time but remember, he that dines with the devil must do that with a long spoon

Sir, are you aware that the man you will be meeting on the 30th of April is a mass murderer? He was among the psychopathic beasts that ordered and supervised the killing of 6 million Biafrans from 1966-1970

On the 20th of January 2017, he ordered the slaughtering of 11 peaceful and armless Biafrans who were on a solidarity march to your government (Trump Solidarity Rally) in the city of Port Harcourt on the day of your inauguration! Are you also aware that between 2015 and 2018, more than 10 thousand Biafrans have been killed with machine guns and chemical weapons? And unccountable numbers illegally incarcerated in military dungeons? The man named Mohammed Buhari singlehandedly spearheaded the military invasion of the home of the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (Nnamdi Kanu) in Afaraukwu, Abia State under the code name, 'Operation Python Dance II' which led to the killing of 28 innocent civilians and many decimated and rendered incapacitated for life. What a collateral damage! Till date, nobody knows the way about of the leader of IPOB, the mother and father after the brutal military raid

Are you aware that between 12 and 14 December 2015, over 1000 Shiites (IMN- Islamic Movement Of Nigeria) were massacred through a bloody military operation under the command and control of the man you will be meeting on the 30th of April? Not only that, the leader of the Shiites movement (Sheikh Ibrahim Elzakzaky) was brutalised, humiliated and shot several times. As it stance now, he has lost one of his eyes and partially paralysed because of the ruthless torture and inhuman condition of the dungeon where the murderous government of Nigeria dumped him. The wife was not spared. She was shot multiple times on the stomach while three of his sons who were on vacation were shot point blank in different locations

Sir, are you aware that the man you are slated to meet on the 30th of April is a terror sponsor? Bokoharam (a terrorist organisation) once appointed him as their sole mediator. Since his government came on board in 2015, he has released and compensated dreaded bokoharm commanders with millions of US dollars.This has aided the rampaging and unrepentant killers to acquire more lethal weapons and reinforced to maim innocent citizens with impunity

Sir, are you truly aware that there is a serious ethnic cleansing that is on going in Nigeria? In a place called middle belt, mothers, fathers, young youths and children have been massacred in cold blood. Infrastructures worth millions of US dollars destroyed and thousands of people displaced from their homes. This pathetic situation compelled an influential former Major General named Theophilus Danjuma to accuse the military of colluding with the terrorists to snuff life out of innocent civilians. He called on the people to rise to the ocassion of defending themselves againt the marauding herders or they face the worst extinction in the near future. Devilishly, some criminal elements masquerading as 'ASO ROCK CABAL' angrily called for his head for speaking the truth

On the 24th of April 2018, two catholic priest and 13 other parishioners were shot and dismembered into pieces and the man called Mr Buhari sees nothing bad about it. Nobody has been arrested for all these mayhem. We have not heard any form of condemnation from the PAPACY. All we hear are conspiratorial condemnations that holds no ground from the Nigerian Presidency. They tell trivial lies of how the police and the army are working lazily to apprend these depraved killers (Fulani terrorist organisation) who are operating under a Presidential cover

I want to also bring to your knowledge that the man you are slated to meet on the 30th of April does not have respect for the rule of law and constituted authority. This is a man that has disrespected several court injunctions, hounded and cowed the judiciary to become mum. He has intimidated and arrested political opponents on trump up charges. A man that has no regard for merit and competence. He appointed his cronies and incompetent love ones to man all the security formation in the country without considering the principle of FEDERAL CHARACTER. He is nothing but a treasury looter and a mass murderer enmeshed in clannishness and self ego

MY PASSIONATE APPEAL

Sir, I am not in any way trying to castigate President Buhari or neither are my penning down all these things about him in other to flog up sympathy. I am only writing the truth and nothing but the bitter truth. A lot of terrible things have been committed under the political stewardship of Mr Buhari but surprisingly enough, democratic role models like America is not raising an eyebrow. Does it mean that Biafrans are not valued when compared to the kind of response that the power brokers gave to the Syria gassing saga? Is it because we are blacks that comes from a dark Africa? America with other power brokers (France and Britain) never hesitated to send ballistic missiles to bomb down Assad chunk of chemical facilities to ashes. Millions of Biafrans have suffered the worst fate more than the people of Syria but nobody has been held to account for it. What did we commit to deserve this wicked conspiracy from the people we share the same faith with and political inclination? It is rather disheartening that things are falling apart this way

Sir, I want to appeal to your conscience that America and other world leaders must 'act now' before the situation of things will blow out of proportion. I must state the obvious fact that Biafrans are running out of patience and if something is not done urgently, we might resort to any defensive mechanism at our disposal to revise this ugly trend which many will not like including you

We are not asking too much! We are not asking for Ministerial appointments, the position of the Senate President, to become the President or the vice President. We are only asking for a well organized and supervised REFERENDUM. Biafrans should be given the opportunity to decide their political future. It is their political right. The call for a REFERENDUM is never a call for war. We want to test the POPULARITY of 'one Nigeria' through the Ballot. One Nigeria through the barrel of the gun is nothing but a full blown fiasco

Instead of resorting to the use of violence in fronting our lofty demands, we whole heartedly embraced the path of REFERENDUM. We believe strongly that REFERENDUM will quell and solve all the problems that have breeded internal wrangling, suppressed peace and development for more than 57 years now and still counting, in Nigeria

Sir, your government must persuade President Buhari and his co travellers to set a date and conduct a transparent REFERENDUM. There is no alternative or option to this demand

However sir, you must order President Buhari to release all Biafran political prisoners that are languishing in different prison facilities in Nigeria. He must release Benjamin Mmadubugwu, Bright Chimezie Ishinwa, David Nwawusi, Chidiebere Onwudiwe and other legions of political prisoners unconditionally. Biafrans are peace loving people and not trouble makers. These innocent Biafrans have not committed any crime that will warrant their torture and illegal detention. Thousands of Bokoharam (a terrorist movement) members who have wrecked unimaginable disaster are been released, compensated and recruited into the army, police and secret intelligent agencies by Mr Buhari and no individual has the temerity to question him over such a security miscarriage. He is an overlord that rules with iron fist

Conclusively sir, I am so glad that you are making America great again! America has returned to it's glory because of your charismatic leadership. Obama almost reduced America to a toothless bull dog in the eyes of other power brokers. I will call you a child of necessity. You came when Americans and the world at large needed you the most. Thank you very much sir, for cleaning up some of the mess Obama left behind. But remember, to whom much is given, much is also expected of that person. You must make every concerted effort to reposition things in Africa. Africa must be a liberated people under your watch. This is a task you must complete

God bless Biafra!

God bless America!

In God we trust!

Accept my letter in good fate!

Yours Truly

the headline below.

At last the civilised world has taken notice of the evil Jihadi intentions of the savage Fulani caliphate. Openly supported by the British Government because of their desire for unrestricted access to free crude oil from Biafraland, these Fulani beasts were allowed to kill, rape and pillage at will up until now. To the British, it doesn't matter how many people are killed to keep Nigeria one. It doesn't matter how many Christian churches are burnt, synagogues desecrated or communities cleansed. The only thing Britain is interested in is the money Royal Dutch Shell is bringing in from Biafra crude oil.

We must not go on deceiving ourselves any longer. Everything is about crude oil and what best serves British interest. Fulani terrorists, be they the cabal in Aso Rock today, their illiteracy facilitating Emirs, the Sultan himself, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association who are themselves the terrorists we know as Fulani herdsmen are all foot soldiers for the British and Islam. Britain benefit directly from the Fulani reign of terror because after these cow loving animals from the Sahel must have finished slaughtering and terrorizing everybody in Nigeria to a state of stupor, Britain simply continues to suck their cherished oil without interruption. Britiain are the Gods that created Nigeria. To them, who is that black man or woman from Biafra to dare question a superior British white race that created Nigeria.

The existence of Nigeria is confirmation that white people will forever remain superior to we black Africans. I have never heard of a black man traveling to Europe to colonize them or create a country for them. If Britain can create a country for you and me, give us names and determine who should rule us, you don't need Einstein to tell you that you are in no way equal to them. These are indisputable facts.

This Jubril they parade in front of us daily, the dead Buhari, Buratai and other armed Fulani brutes can go on killing innocent Biafrans and Nigerian Christians for ever and ever with no consequence because Daddy Britain is their patron. As long as Shell is collecting oil revenue on behalf of Her Majesty's Treasury in Whitehall London, then there is no problem. Britain will never allow any Fulani murderer like the late Buhari or Buratai to face trial at the Hague.

Following Brexit and the steady decline and eventual collapse of British industrial manufacturing base, free oil from Biafraland and commodities from other equally backward black African colonies remain Britain's only viable means of economic sustenance. Without crude oil exports from Biafraland, Britain will go bankrupt in 18 months, this is an economic fact.

A Nigeria under the dominant rulership of the illiterate unenlightened Fulani feudal lords is the perfect political arrangement that will allow successive British governments of whatever persuasion unfettered access to whatever this 'former' colony of theirs called Nigeria can yield. If you want to know what makes a black man truly foolish and idiotic, take your time and study Nigeria.

Britain is supporting the killing of Christians in Nigeria because they want to use Fulani natural tendency for terror to maintain their stranglehold on human and material resources in Biafraland. Illiterate Fulani feudal lords are the perfect British house slaves that will impoverish everybody to mask their own intellectual limitations as a race. When everybody is poor and forced to remain poor, nobody will notice the difference between the brilliant creative mind of a Biafran and the primitive nomadic disposition of your average Fulani. In all these murderous chaos and mayhem in Nigeria, there is only but one beneficiary; Britain. As long as this black gold keeps flowing freely from Biafraland, to hell with the black African monkeys that inhabit the meaningless geo-political space named Nigeria.

This is something Nigerians are ignorant of because they are blessed with natural stupidity. What the creator of Nigeria has cleverly done is to get the filthy, intellectually backward Alimajiri north to democratise poverty, backwardness and idiocy, while they continue extracting oil, gas, salt, bauxite, gold, white and black mable etc.

Our creators the British-- they are our creators because they created Nigeria and made everybody Nigerian, they are briefed daily on everything that happens in their favorite colony in West Africa and if that is the case, how come Theresa May never confronted Jubril (Buhari) about the killings. Not even the leader of the protestant faith, Archbishop of Canterbury Mr Welby an oil merchant himself turned servant of God and professed friend of (Buhari) Jubril has uttered a word in condemnation of the killing of Christians in Nigeria. These people, Prime Minister May and Archbishop Welby are Western Europeans, therefore civilised Christians and human rights defenders but they never found it in themselves to condemn the killing of their fellow Christians simply because of crude oil.

They will be the first to condemn what they see as Muslim persecution in Rhohinga but when it comes to Christians being butchered in Nigeria, they feign ignorance or deny it altogether. It took a no nonsense President Trump to wake the world up to the reality of Fulani depravity in the British Zoo called Nigeria.

Thank you President Trump. As one of your your predecessors President Harry Truman who chased European colonialists away from Africa did that led to the flag independence we have today in neo-colonial Africa, so will you chase away British neo-colonialism that is directly responsible for the rise of murderous Fulani Jihadi inspired annihilation of Christian populations in Nigeria.

IPOB Press Statement The leadership and entire family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is horrified at the recent killing of over 46 innocent citizens in Kaduna State and the seeming silence of the majority over atrocities committed by a minority. It's appalling that the present APC Government led by Major General Muhammadu Buhari has continued to allow his tribesmen (the Fulanis) to use sustained killings and maiming to frighten and cower Northern minorities and Christians all over Nigeria into accepting the bloodbath going on in parts of Southern Kaduna and parts of Middle Belt as a norm.The level of cowardice exhibited by the political class in Nigeria across every divide in the face of this unrelenting onslaught is so disgraceful there are no words to describe it.

What this Buhari regime has succeeded in doing is using what amounts to state terrorism to subdue every dissenting voice in the land. People are detained at the whim of any high ranking person in Aso Rock with access to an army or police commander. It doesn't matter if the alleged crime can be substantiated or not as long as there are many loyalist judges to rubber stamp illegal detentions then nobody can stop them. Judges and magistrates have been turned to prosecutors, persecutors and executioners at the service of the state. They are mandated to jail, detain and deny bail to any perceived enemy of the regime even when this means going against the Constitution of Nigeria. These judges now provide legal cover for Buhari's abuse of individual rights and fundamental liberties. Justice has been turned on its head due to the cowardice of men and dire need to prop up the existence of lazy people brought up on the myth that national survival is exclusively dependent on proceeds from oil and gas. In other words, without access to a natural resource like oil and gas these people are nothing, they are almost sub-human.

What the spate of killings, arbitrary arrests, illegal detentions and political intimidations deployed by the controllers of the levers of power in Nigeria has done is to reinforce the message of IPOB that total dismemberment of Nigeria along ethnic lines and value system is the only solution going forward. Under the prevailing arrangement many more people will die needlessly as Nigeria heads full speed towards Somalia as predicted by our leader many years ago. All affected communities in the Middle Belt and other Fulani herdsmen besieged entitie sin the south has 30th of May 2018 sit-at-home to demonstrate their willingness to rid their land of these intruders from the Sahel.

It's an opportunity to draw the attention of the international community to their plight. Only with the concerted attention of the civilised world will these marauding Fulani terrorists be contained and defeated. Every state and community across Nigeria affected by the menace of Fulani herdsmen and the absence of rule of law are advised to join IPOB on the 30th of May to sit-at-home to bring Nigeria to a halt in honour of those that died. As we Biafrans remember and honour those that fought and died for us, let every other ethnic group in Nigeria that have suffered injustice also remember those that died unjustly at the hands of Fulani terrorists aided and abated by Nigerian security agencies. We are urging every Biafran, particularly Christians in the Middle Belt Region and Yoruba leaders to stand firm and observe this sit-at-home because Armageddon is coming and a coalition of the brave must come together to rise up to confront the evil from the Sahel. To do nothing is not an option. IPOB knew many years back that this day would come. The overwhelming support given to Fulani ethnic cleansing agenda in the Middle Belt by the present APC Government have led them to perfect their plan to conquer and forcibly take over our land.

It is crystal clear to every reasonable person that only the ideological stance of IPOB can stop all these killings and massacre of innocent citizens across Nigeria. Self determination for all ethnic nationalities is the solution or else Fulani terrorists will overrun and overwhelm every single soul that dare raise his or her head up. If not for the betrayal of Ohaneze Ndigbo and sabotage of IPOB efforts by South East governors, by now the barbaric killings and massacre of Biafrans and Christian populations on the Middle Belt will be a thing of the past. We remain undeterred in our quest to stop the march of the Jihadists into our land. Other ethnic nationalities must decide if they want to seize this golden opportunity to align with IPOB hence bring the pain and misery of everybody to a final stop. COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB.

PRESS STATEMENT ON OHANAEZE 

AWKA SUMMIT

Great Biafrans, once again destiny knocks at our door as our Creator THE MOST HIGH EZE CHUKWUOKIKEABIAMA presents us HIS Children, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide led by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu another opportunity to finally confront head on those who have been planted in our land to hold us down and prevent us from reaching the full potential that heaven endowed us with. These individuals and groups who masquerade as leaders and Elites and call themselves Governors and Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo are nothing but errand boys of the Sokoto Caliphate representing the interest of the Hausa-Fulani Oligarchy and not the Interest of the Biafran people.

The Directorate of State of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide commend Biafrans both at home and in the Diaspora for our resoluteness and unwavering discipline in our match to freedom. Our leader said that we are without fear before our enemies and we have time and time again vindicated him when we confronted these enemies head on exhibiting an uncanny determination to sacrifice limb and pleasure for the joy of living a free people in our homeland. Our burning desire to be free, that love for and of Liberty is intrinsic to our nature as Biafrans and one million Ohanaeze’s does not have the capacity to continue to hold us in perpetual bondage and servitude for the benefit of their Hausa Fulani Masters. Nnia Nwodo the Ohanaeze president and those working with him are not just Task Masters drafted into our land to hold the Biafran people in check, he has shamelessly become their mouthpiece in Biafraland. Nnia Nwodo is positioning his brother John Nwodo who has been attached to Atiku Abubarkar as usual to play a second fiddle in Nnia Nwodo’s and Sokoto Caliphate’s political calculations.

May 21st 2018 is a day that history must be made as we the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide led by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will on this day restore the dignity of the Biafran people before the eyes of the whole world who are watching very keenly the developments in our land. We shall on this day and date restore our faith in ourselves as a people and with that renew hope for our Children and generations yet unborn. Our voice must be loud and clear that even the deaf will hear and acknowledge our stand as we shall unequivocally repudiate and reject all those whose hands are covered with the blood of innocent Biafrans murdered at the instigation and direct coordination of the present Ohanaeze leadership and the South East Governors.

The Directorate of State of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide uses this medium therefore to direct that all roads must led to Ekwueme Square in Awka on May 21st. We must descend on Awka from all corners of Biafraland like the locust and sweep away every impediment on our way to freedom and any obstacle to the restoration of a Sovereign and Independent Biafran Nation. As we match down to Awka we will not fail to call up the Spirits of Biafrans murdered in Nigeria to descend in their millions on Ekwueme Square as well. Finally, as we match down to Ekwueme Square we commend every one of us into the hands of EZE CHUKWUOKIKEABIAMA for guidance, strength and protection to the glory of his name.

Signed

IPOB PRESS RELEASE FROM 

DIRECTORATE OF STATE HQS.

25th May 2018

May 30th, 2018, Biafran Heroes and Heroines Remembrance Day

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide led by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu shall on the 30th of May 2018 be honoring and remembering the millions of victims of the Biafran Genocide which include victims of all the pogroms carried out in the Arewa Northern Nigeria from 1945 to present, those killed during the Biafran Genocide as well as present victims of Nigerian State sponsored acts of terror and violence who were murdered in cold blood by the trigger happy Nigerian security forces for exercising their inalienable right to Self determination. We will also be remembering all those massacred in Benue, Jos, Kogi, Taraba, Enugwu, Adamawa, Southern Kaduna and western Nigeria by the Fulani Janjaweed Herdsmen

The Biafran people are very much aware of the existence of a policy of the Nigerian ruling class represented by the Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba Oligarchy, spearheaded by the evil Sokoto Caliphate and tailored towards achieving both the political, cultural and economical emasculation and annihilation of the Biafran people, as well as to ethnically cleanse Biafrans from Nigeria and from our homeland. As a result of this conspiracy, the Indigenous People of Biafra have suffered untold hardship, threats to their culture and tradition, assault on our value system and a near complete waste of our environment. It was this aspiration to ethnically remove Biafrans from our homeland a place wherein we have inhabited and developed a civilization which pre-dates the Greek and Roman civilization that culminated in a war of annihilation imposed upon the Biafran people by the Nigerian government in collaboration with the British government and their allies. This was after a series of well planned and well executed acts of pogroms perpetrated under the watch of Britain the then Colonial government.

On the 22nd of June 1945, the massacre of Biafrans commenced in Jos and hundreds of Biafrans were murdered by the Hausa-Fulani while tens of thousands of pounds sterling worth of Biafran people’s properties were either looted or ruined. Nobody was held accountable, nobody was arrested and none was prosecuted by the British Colonial government. As a matter of fact the British refused to institute an inquiry into the bestial and gruesome murder of a section of the populace and wanton destruction of their properties. Fast forward Kano 1953, thousands more Biafrans, their families and properties were again targets of ethnic cleansing under the supervision of the British overlords. From 1954 to October 1966, more than 30,000 Biafrans were killed in Northern Nigeria, and between October 1966 and June 1967 more than 300,000 more were massacred. In a most brutish and gruesome manner, pregnant women were killed, their unborn babies pulled out of their wombs, received a most gruesome and barbaric end while other victims had their eyes gorged, arms and limbs amputated, and heads chopped off. It was a most graphic animalistic tendency ever exhibited in Africa These were barbaric and horrifying crimes against humanity in an indescribable scale. Bear in mind that all these killings were done in peace time, without provocation and with evidence of complicity on the part of local and national authority at the time be it the colonial British government or the Nigerian puppet government. Then from July 6, 1967–January 15, 1970 a large scale program of total extermination of the Indigenous People of Biafra termed the final solution to the Biafran problem was initiated. More than five (5) million Biafrans representing close to 15% of the total population of the Biafran people were exterminated in a most inhuman and ghastly manner by Nigeria fully backed, supported and militarily equipped by the British during which more than three (3) million civilians especially women and children died from starvation because of the British Government supervised air, land, and sea blockade of the Biafran territory. The killings have continued unabated from 1970 to the present resulting in the death of millions more of the Indigenous People of Biafra.

These victims of the pogroms in Northern Nigeria, of the Biafran genocide and those murdered in cold blood for exercising their inalienable right to Self determination by the trigger happy Nigerian security forces are our Heroes and Heroines. They paid the ultimate price for our collective dignity and freedom and it is in their honor that we observe and shall observe till the end of time 30th May of each year as a day to remember, acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifices they made on our behalf.

For the past five consecutive years, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide led by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have remembered and honored Biafran heroes and heroines’ men, women and children who gave their life for our liberty who sacrificed all for posterity. This tradition continues this year and on May 30th, 2018 Biafrans will again gather in more than 120 countries around the world to remember, pay their respect and honor these great men, women and children victims of the Biafran Genocide and our Heroes and Heroines as well as those massacred in Benue, Jos, Kogi, Taraba, Enugwu, Adamawa, Southern Kaduna and western Nigeria by the Fulani Janjaweed Herdsmen. This year’s remembrance is unique in that victims of Islamic Jihadists under the cover of Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen especially the Christian community in the Middle Belt will also be remembered and honored. During the period since after the Biafran genocide, our land has been raped and degraded in such a horrific manner that our youths, driven into hopelessness and desperation embark upon suicidal journeys across the desert and the Atlantic just to get out of the hell that is Nigeria, anywhere other than Nigeria is preferred by these youths.

Although we are yet to have that freedom for which they died for, remembering and honoring their sacrifice constantly reminds us of the obligation we owe them and of our duty not to relent until total freedom and liberty for which they died are achieved. As has been our usage, Biafrans in the whole of Biafraland shall observe a SIT-AT-HOME in honor of our fallen Heroes and Heroines and in the honor of all the victims of the horror of Fulani Herdsmen and Boko Haram. In more than 120 countries around the world, Biafrans will gather and rally in public places in the capitals and cities of these countries.

We urge the world to relieve itself of the moral burden that has been on their conscience for more than five decades and counting and speak up for the oppressed Indigenous People of Biafra.

We urge the Media both local and international to use this years 30th of May Remembrance of the Biafran genocide to remove the seal of conspiracy and silence they have placed on this blight on human conscience. We urge all men and women of conscience not to relent in their efforts to ensure that justice in practical terms is done to the Indigenous People of Biafrans for the crimes committed against them.

Finally, we urge the indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide to remain resolute in their pursuit for freedom. We urge them to maintain the discipline for which the world has now come to associate IPOB with. We urge them to remain firm in their conviction of the justness of our course. We urge them to reject every form of irritation and distraction and focus on our objective which is the restoration of the Sovereign and Independent nation of Biafra as that is the only way the souls of millions of our dead Heroes and Heroines will have rest and accorded the honor due to them.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide led by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu affirms our inalienable right to determine our cultural, economic and political system, as well as our right to Self-determination as guaranteed and proclaimed by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Indigenous peoples to Self-Determination and Articles V, VI, VII and XII of the African Charter on Human & Peoples Rights (ratified and domesticated by Nigeria in 1983.

SUMMIT ON RESTRUCTURING: OHANEZE NDIGBO GROUP, 

A TOOL FOR MODERN DAY SLAVERY

Written by Solomon Iwejuo
For Family Writers Press

Ascending the cradle of leadership clearly calls for ingenuity and cautiousness in the service to humanity. Historical book dealing with salient concerns on Genuine Leadership and Followership written by Thompson Finley of the United States of America states and I quote: "Good leaders aspire for leadership just because of the love they have for their neighbours". It is not surprising therefore, that many countries of the world where development anchors, style of leadership take cognitive record of the citizens' needs.
Nigeria indisputably, remains a state where the survival of the fittest is the norm. No matter what it takes to rise to the pinnacle of recognition and relevance, people are exclusively mindless.

In his commentary, a renowned freedom crusader, Mr. Lonnie Powell once said and I quote: "Your leaders determine whom you are in capacity and in what life gives". Are those who say they are the people's leaders today especially in this part of the world realistically real or just a fictitious bunch of beings? Retired General Yakubu Gowon, after the 1967-1970 war, released a statement which says: "If I had known that Igbo leaders expended money in buying guns, I would have assigned this money to their leaders and allowed them to kill themselves".

In the evil plots of the Nigerian Jihadists to Islamise the Igbos amongst other Biafrans, it was revealed that they actually budgeted billions of United States dollars for the so-called leaders of Igbo Biafran particularly, just to help facilitate the securing of their crass frivolous interests.

During the Operation Python Dance II that was gruesomely carried out in the upland region of Biafraland (So-called South-East), innumerable number of young Biafrans were killed, others were either maimed or incarcerated, and not a single leader was courageous enough to pointedly condemn such extra-judicially inspired mayhem brazenly committed against unarmed, harmless family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). But they were quick to shamelessly chart the course for proscription placed on Biafrans as terrorists. Conversely and very disappointedly too, no Northern Arewa leader has made a public pronouncement condemning the vampiric activities of Boko Haram terrorists or the Fulani killer herdsmen. They have never openly criticised or condemned the Kaduna declaration of the Arewa youths nor plotted the decimation of their children (the Arewa youths). These Islamic Jihadists sinisterly hide under the cloak of Hausa-Fulani oligarchy to cement and shield their evil agenda through the shameless connivance of the so-called Igbo leaders. These thrive in their wits to perpetuate plans of urinating on the tombs of the young Biafrans murderously killed by the buharised army of Nigeria. The time to frontally resist this wave of evil machinations of the sabotaging leadership in the entire Biafraland has dawned.

When the voice of one man goes the direction of the people and irresistibly attracts the emergence of a determined nation, know you that the lions will certainly roar in search of their preys. These notorious leaders have made various locations their abode in their consistent drive to perpetuate wickedness. The worst that can ever happen to a man therefore is to refuse to attract honor from his place of nativity. The likes of Nnia Nwodo and associates planning for anti-people's (Anti-Biafran) summit in Biafraland called restructuring of Nigeria, in their evil agenda to service the interests of their Fulani slavemasters, are only fast tracking their recompense. Their avowed plots to dare the warnings of the leadership of the IPOB global family by hosting the evil Summit on restructuring at Awka, come Monday 21st of May 2018, is only a recipe for the venomous visitation of the IPOB. The earlier they rescind that decision, the better for them. Biafrans have repeatedly made it clear that nothing will suffice than a referendum that will afford them the opportunity to decide their own future and it is not negotiable. There is absolutely no alternative to this and the floated agenda of restructuring Nigeria by Nnia Nwodo and his group is already a project that is dead on arrival.

This History Will Chance Your Mindset On Nigeria So, Please Take Time To Read It To The End.

You Will Understand Nigeria Better If Can Be Patient Enough To Read This Article To Then End. What Is Happening In Nigeria Now, Is an Evil Vision Of One Man

Pls read this by Ogbo Awoke Ogbo

√Othman Dan Fodio is Not Done With Nigeria Yet - That's the Crux of the Whoooole Matter!

¶Nigeria is not dealing with religion. Nigeria is not dealing terrorism. Nigeria is not dealing with ethnic suspicion and tribal hatred - we really don't have issues with each other on personal levels. (Of my top five friends on earth, two are Yoruba, one Tiv, one Efik, one Igbo. And many of you don't know but I have Yoruba in-laws, nieces and nephews. So, don’t get these things twisted, if I must borrow the expiring slang of Nigerian teenagers.)

••• Nigeria is not dealing with corruption (or kwaraption, its current version).
Nigeria is not dealing with leadership crisis - we’ve been crying about leadership since 1914.

So, what is Nigeria dealing with? Nature - One simple Law of Nature - that if you refuse to learn from history, history will destroy you!

Nature is stubborn! Nature has this uncanny persistence that its lesson MUST be learnt before any progress can be made. And so, for 100 years, Nigeria has pined away on the same spot. Same stories. Same problems, same people, same mindset, same insanity. Nigeria thinks it can beat nature to its laws - repeating the same follies and expecting miracles.

••• We have learnt little from remote and immediate history. Very little! Perhaps no one captures the peril of our ignorance of history better than Sanusi Lamido Sanusi himself, the current Emir of Kano. Hear him:

"There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honorable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity. The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Sardauna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie-Eboh, hundreds of thousands have died and suffered. If this issue is not addressed immediately, no conference will solve Nigeria´s problems.”

That was prophetic ... 1999.

••• Look at those pictures in the post very well. I was there. That was my generation. I was only five years old but I vividly recall those protruding bellies.

I vividly recall standing in a long queue for a bowl of powdered milk being distributed by the Swiss Red Cross at the Ugoni Primary School, Okposi. I vividly recall the rich, heavenly taste of that heavily fortified milk as it made love with my grateful tongue. I vividly recall that first touch from the Swiss Red Cross.

••• My mother was a nurse during the War, a trained nurse. It was from her that I first heard the word “kwashiorkor” from which many children had perished. She treated scores of kwashiorkor children at our home.

Civil War!

So, the handlers of Nigeria terminated the study of history in Nigerian schools — deliberately. Can you imagine a sensible nation hiding its history? Partly to hide the atrocities of that pogrom from the memories of upcoming generations. But you don’t hide problems; you solve them. Every plea for the terms of the Nigerian water and oil union to be negotiated have been met with the demonic stubbornness that “Nigeria cannot be negotiated!” Says who?

••• And because history was banned from the school curriculum, we have a generation of Nigerian youth who know more about Arsenal, Manchester and Chelsea than their own reason for existence.

They are taught like parrots to sing a “national anthem” that has zero meaning. For instance, what is the meaning of the phrase “where peace and justice shall reign” or the more annoying “the labors of our heroes past?” Who exactly are these heroes past and what were their labors that won’t be in vain?

* Was Ahmadu Bello a hero? Yes… to the Northerners.
* Was Awolowo a hero? Yes, but don’t mention that to the Igbo man.
* Was Azikiwe a hero? Perhaps, but to only a few people in the East.
* Was Ojukwu a hero? Yes, but a Northerner wouldn’t drive through an Ikemba Nnewi Street.

So, who exactly were these heroes past? Grand deception. If there were ever any heroes past, nobody mentions them.

••• And what do we now have? Exactly the same setup we had in 1966! The North-West Alliance called APC, the government sponsored pogroms in the Middle Belt, the demonization of a particular tribe, the strategic militarization of the Fulani herdsmen.

But here’s why we will never fight another war in Nigeria: It is not necessary anymore. On good authority. There is a better instrument.

But let’s go back a little bit — like two or three hundred years. You have to do your own research too. Many Nigerians have parboiled brains. They only think in one direction - their inherited beliefs, what others told them, and beer parlor conversations they listened to.

¶First, you will NEVER understand the genesis and prognosis of Nigeria’s intractable troubles until you give a vigilant analysis to the revealing declaration of Ahmadu Bello’s on 12th October, 1960:

“The new nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather Othman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We must 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”.

Three years before then, in 1957, the very same Bello had openly declared: “We the people of the North will continue our stated intention to conquer the South and to dip the Koran in the Atlantic ocean after the British leave our shores.” (Underline dip the Koran.)

And so that you don’t think that the conquest and enslavement of the South was only in Ahmadu Bello’s imagination, here is what Tafawa Balewa, Nigeria’s first Prime Minister had said in 1947-- it's shocking from the mouth of a "hero past:"

““We do not want our Southern neighbors to interfere in our development. We have never associated ourselves with the activities of these people. We do not know them, we do not recognize them, and we share no responsibility in their actions. We shall demand our rights when the time is ripe. If the British quit Nigeria now at this stage, the Northern people would continue their uninterrupted conquest to the sea.” (UNDERLINE: UNINTERRUPTED CONQUEST TO THE SEA)

••• Believe me, people in the South might be stupidly naive but the North isn’t! You derogatorily call them ‘aboki.” Yet, with all your PhD’s and conquests of Math, Economics and English (the white man’s language), you still can’t match the stealth, the consistency, the strategy, the unity and the brilliant execution of the people you look down upon as ’abokis.’

Here’s is the incontrovertible thesis: No one will EVER understand Nigeria’s troubles or its solutions until he digs into Ahmadu Bello’s charge of October 1960. You will never understand why the “Fulani herdsmen” have strategically occupied every land space in the South. You will never understand the open visa arrangements being sought with die-hard Islamic countries. You will never understand the meetings in Saudi Arabia.You will never understand the so-called Grazing Bill that is hopefully dead on arrival. You will never understand the new school curriculum of unequal yoke of unrelated subjects of Islam and Christianity.

¶Also, Ahmadu Bello gave us another deep hint for the endless blood flow in Nigeria: Othman (or Usman or Uthman) dan Fodio, the founder of the Sokoto Caliphate!

I learnt about Usman Dan Fodio in my Primary School history, and later in Secondary School. His courage, his rise to power and conquests fascinated me as an adventurous little boy. Little did I know that I wasn’t done with Usman dan Fodio. He may have died in 1817 as we were taught but his spirit is alive and well and poised for more trouble. (Reread Ahmadu Bello’s statement.) Dan Fodio is not done yet - that is the crux of Nigeria's troubles!

I repeat, if you do not understand Ahmadu Bello’s vow, echoed by the then seemingly harmless Balewa, and resurrected in the current leader of Nigeria; and if you do not understand the role of the British in the evil that took residence in Nigeria, please respect yourself and go sit down. And if possible shut up. Because until you do, you will never appreciate why we are where we are, and why the future remains precarious unless our collective consciousness acknowledges and confronts these undercurrents.

••• Nigeria is in … I think Americans call it … “deep sh*t.” But I have hope. The yoke shall be broken. Not by bravado. Not by war. Not by more bloodshed. But by one single stone. The destiny of every Goliath is a little pebble to his forehead. Every Goliath has a pebble with his name on it.

Just one more insight into dan Fodio before I let the wise be wise and the fool be fool. Dan Fodio’s impressive jihads were finally wedged at Ilorin and Upper Benue. But then, he left a dying request, which isn’t a secret anymore - that his followers must dip the Quran into the Atlantic!

And let me tell you this: Lebanon learnt their lesson too late. While you may pride yourself in being “open minded” about these things, the scions of Othman Dan Fodio do not play by the same rules. The Quran has been dipped in the Atlantic via the Ilorin route. Ever wondered why the very last street bordering Nigeria and the Atlantic Ocean was named Ahmadu Bello Way?

••• Here’s the summary of the current affairs in Nigeria: The Quran is not yet dipped into the Atlantic through Benue and Igboland. Second, another powerful scion of Dan Fodio is now the Commander in Chief, who also doubles as the Grand Patron of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria. Don’t smell something if you don't want to! “Kwaraption” my foot!

As usual, I will get names and attacks after this article. But hey, your praise or criticism means nada to me. I’m too old to write to impress you. And I'm already as famous as I never wanted to be. There is NOTHING in this article you cannot find in the public domain if you do just a little research and a little thinking. So what’s your beef with reality?

••• If you have better information backed with facts, you’d better present it to the world rather than the usual dimwitted comments like “Ogbo, you’re a fool” or the favorite blackmail type “Ogbo, you’re stirring up hatred.” The one that trips me most is “Be patient, the President is working on something … Rome was not built in a day!” This has nothing to do with patience! Neither with Rome! If you were hungry and knew food was cooking in the pot, being patient makes perfect sense. But suppose what is in the pot isn’t food?

••• The signs are so glaring even the blind could see them. Armed “Fulani herdsmen” have mapped out our villages; they have literally occupied every inch of our ancestral lands. They are applying the secret spiritual principle that states that “every place the sole of your feet shall touch I shall give you.”

But the saints and sinners alike are snoring! Those who are awake are arguing with the signboard!

Shocking revelation on the hatred for Igbos, and how the north used the Nigerian federal troupes and locals in south west and n
North to commit genocide with the help of Britain and America during the civil war

Excerpts from the PERPETRATORS confession

“I want to see no Red Cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no Pope, no missionary, no UN delegation. I want to prevent even one Ibo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves and when our troops march into the centre of Ibo territory, we shoot at everything, even things that do not move” (Benjamin Adekunle, Commander, 3rd Marine Commander Division, Nigerian Army to French Radio Reporter).

“All is fair in war, and starvation is one of the weapons of war. I don’t see why we should feed our enemies fat in order for them to fight harder”, (Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Nigerian Minister of Finance, July 28, 1969)

“Until now efforts to relieve the Biafran people have been thwarted by the desire of the central government to pursue total and unconditional victory and by the fear of the Ibo people that surrender means wholesale atrocities and genocide. But genocide is what is taking place right now and starvation is the grim reaper. This is not the time to stand on ceremony, or go through channels or to observe diplomatic niceties. The destruction of an entire people is immoral objective, even in the most moral of wars. It can never be condoned”, (Richard Nixon, during the presidential campaign, September 9, 1968)

“Federal troops killed, or stood while mobs killed, more than 5000 Ibos in Warri, Sapele, Agbor” (New York Times, 10th January, 1968).

“Its (mass starvation) is a legitimate aspect of war (Anthony Enahoro, Nigerian Commissioner for Information at a press conference in New York, July 1968)

“Starvation is a weapon of war, and we have every intention of using it against the rebels” (Mr Alison Ayida, Head of Nigerian delegation, Niamey Peace talks, July 1968.)

“The Igbos must be considerably reduced in number”, Lagos Policeman quoted in New York Review 21 December, 1967)

“One word now describes the policy of the Nigerian military government towards secessionist Biafra: genocide. It is ugly and extreme but it is the only word which fits Nigeria’s decision to stop international Red Cross and other relief agencies from flying food to Biafra ( Washington Post editorial, July 2, 1969).

“In some areas in the East, Igbos were killed by local people with at least the acquiescence of the Federal forces, 1000 Igbo civilians perished in Benin in this way” (Max Edward Reporter, reporter on the ground - New York Review, 21 December 1967).

“After federal forces take over Benin, troops killed about 500 Igbo civilians after a house to house search with the aid of willing locals” (Washington Morning Post, 27 September, 1967)

“The greatest single massacre occurred in the Igbo town of Asaba where 700 Igbo male were lined up and shot as terrified women/children were forced to watch” (London Observer, 21 January,1968)

“Federal troops killed or stood by while mobs killed more than 5000 Ibos in Warri, Sapele, Agbor (New York Times, 10th January, 1968).

“There has been genocide on the occasion of the 1966 massacres, the region between the towns of Benin and Asaba where only widows and orphans remain, federal troops having, for unknown reasons, massacred all the men” (Paris Le Monde, 5th April, 1968)

“In Calabar, federal forces shot at least 1000 and perhaps 2000 Igbos, most of them civilians” (New York Times, 18th January,1968)

“Bestialities and indignities of all kinds were visited on the Biafrans in 1966. In Ikeja Barracks (Western Nigeria) Biafrans were forcibly fed on a mixture of human urine and faeces. In Northern Nigeria numerous housewives and nursing mothers were violated before their husbands and children. Young girls were abducted from their homes, walking places and schools and forced into intercourse with sick, demented and leprous men” (Mr Eric Spiff, German War Correspondent, eyewitness, 1967)

“650 refugee camps, contained about 700,000 haggard bundles of human flotsam waiting hopelessly for a meal, outside the camps, was the reminder of an estimated four and half to five million displaced Kwashiokor scourge, a million and half children, suffer(ed) from it during January; that put the forecast death toll at another 300,000 children. More than the pogroms of 1966, more than the war casualties, than the terror bombings, it was the experience of watching helplessly their children waste away and die that gave birth to, a deep and unrelenting loathing. It is a feeling that will one day reap bitter harvest unless” (Frederick Forsyth, British Writer, January 21st 1969)

“The Nazis had resurrected just here as Nigerian forces” (Washington Post, editorial, July 2, 1969).

“The loss of life from starvation continues at more than 10,000 persons per day over 1,000,000 lives in recent months. Without emergency measures now, the number will climb to 25,000 per day, within a month and 2,000,000 deaths by the end of the year. The new year will only bring greater disaster to people caught in the passion of fratricidal war, we cant allow this to continue or those responsible to go free” (Senator Kennedy appeals to Americans Sunday November 17, 1968)

“Myself and the same UNICEF representatives went on to convey something of what lay behind this intransigence: Among the large majority hailing from that tribe who are the most vocal in inciting the complete extermination of the Igbos. I often heard remarks that all Nigeria’s ills will be cured once the Igbos have been exterminated from the human map.” (Dr Conor Cruise O’Bien, 21 December, 1967, New York Review

This is really to expand the Igbos and not to wipe them out - Obasanjo.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS NIGERIA'S MAJOR PROBLEM. (The outlaws).

The probability of having a better Nigeria is 1% over 100 meaning that Nigeria can never be better. The zoo called Nigeria have lived for about 58years as an independent country but still depend on British to decide how their constitution should be amended and enacted, making Nigeria a country that still looks like non-independent country. Because of non working system many have turned themselves into demigod's, grandmaster and so on, the results are chaos and lawlessness.

" The Nigeria you see today you shall see it no more".

British has succeeded in making Nigeria their natural resources because they understood that without this unworthy and unworkable entity called Nigeria they will never be successful as a Nation, Today the zoo called Nigeria has this unnumbered level of social vices because through it, British remains sophisticated and continue to enjoy unprecedented level of privileged from the zoo government.

Now hear me. The same people who made live difficult for Nigerians, who controls over 92% of the nation's wealth, who are also outlaws have connived together to unseat another outlaw AMINU JUBRIL the Nigerian president, hiding under their nefarious and heinous attitude to make Nigerians believe that what they are doing is for the betterment of Nigerians, "CAPITAL LIES".

After their conspiracy against another conspirator AMINU JUBRIL AKA Buhari, they are afraid because those who they conspired with to unseat the presidency are now holding meeting with the British house of lords to determine their political fate. What an irony.

I will continue to say it.. Benue, Plateaus, Taraba and all Biafra land your primary problem is not Nigerian government but British using the northerners against you and in this clear conspiracy, our leaders in Biafra land still believe we are one Nigeria and that restructuring will settle the problem befallen the zoo called Nigeria, CAPITAL LIES. To avoid these impunity and destruction of human lives, we must all support Biafra restoration and the forthcoming Biafra referendum. The world should tell British Government to leave Biafra alone, becaue we must exit this shithole called Nigeria for we have nothing in common with Hausa Fulani herdsmen.

God bless Biafra.
God bless Mazi Nnamdi KANU

Support Biafra referendum.

IPOB supports referendum, not restructuring

— 8th August 2018

Jeff Amechi Agbodo, Onitsha

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), yesterday said the group is a transparent organisation rooted in the fanatical ideology of Biafra restoration via referendum as preached by its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The group said IPOB is not for restructuring and can never be, as alleged in some quarters.

The Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, while reacting to a report credited to the leader of Biafra Zoinist, Benjamin Onwuka alleging that IPOB has been bought over to accept restructuring against the struggle for restoration of Biafra, said IPOB still remains in the forefront of the struggle for Biafra, more than those who claim to be what they are not in the struggle.

Powerful said the civil disobedience approach would continue until Biafra is restored, saying no man, government harassment, intimidation, arrest, can stop it from the pursuit of referendum for Biafraexit.

He said: “Agents of Nigerian security agencies, hiding under the cloak of pro-Biafra group or groups are too impetuous, ignorant and naive to understand what is happening between IPOB and Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

“At the end of the dialogue between us, Ohanaeze Ndigbo will either live up to its obligations of rigorous defence of Igbo- Biafra interest or be rendered impotent and irrelevant. Those are the two choices confronting them.

IPOB does not respond to those who masquerade as freedom fighters. There’s an Igbo adage that says not every rain that falls deserves to have its water collected.

“Biafra restoration is not about publicity stunts or making outlandishly ridiculous statements to the media to attract attention.

“It is an indictment of character of desperation in some individuals that they feel compelled to meddle in issues that are clearly above their station.

“IPOB is the largest mass movement in the world, we don’t respond to every passing rant from desperate individuals without any following.

“We recognise the appeal commenting about what IPOB related matters may have on any attention seeking individual to raise their profile for whatever self-serving motive they wish to accomplish.

“There are bound to be in every society, shameless self-publicists that will say or do anything to make them feel noticed.

“It is actually a state of mental disorder. Such individuals are opportunistic, fake and lacking in self confidence,” Powerful stated.

 

THANK YOU FAMILY WRITERS PRESS, BIAFRANS ARE PROUD OF YOU PEOPLE, KEEP IT UP.

FAMILY WRITERS PRESS PAYS SOLIDARITY VISIT TO MAZI BENJAMIN MMADUBUGWU

Current Affairs Unit
Family Writers Press
A delegation of Family Writers Press recently paid a solidarity visit to Mazi Benjamin Mmadubugwu at his Ubuluisiuzor home in Ihiala province of Biafraland. It was really a moment of joy, reunion and celebration as he wholeheartedly welcomed the delegates to his home. He remains encouragingly formidable despite his long extra-judicial incarceration by the Nigerian government. The solidarity visit was exceptionally historical as the Family Writers Press delegates, made a presentation of her newly published/launched Maiden Magazine to their host.

Mazi Benjamin Mmadubugwu unreservedly expressed his gratitude to the courageous leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu whom out of his sterling leadership characteristics, has immensely showcased rare love and sincerity of purpose amidst very hostile environments throughout the entire black race. He expressed joy and appreciation for the resolute and dogged spirit with which the leadership and membership of Family Writers Press amongst other Biafra Media affiliates and journalists, have weathered the storm, the tyrannical/murderous antecedents of the Nigerian government through it's security operatives, notwithstanding.

It should be noted that Benjamin Mmadubugwu, David Nwawuisi, Chidiebere Onwudiwe and Bright Chimezie were callously abducted at different times/days, from different locations and extra-judicially incarcerated alongside the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the agents of the Nigerian government and kept in Kuje prison facility in Abuja, the Nigerian Federal Capital, without trial for a running period of almost three calendar years. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was subsequently released on most draconian bail conditions that impugned on his personal right and life. It was in the course of exercising his freedom from detention that he was forcefully abducted and taken to a mysterious location by the Nigerian army. His whereabouts is yet shrouded in secrecy till date. The bizarre and murderous invasion of his residence on the 14th of September 2017, as orchestrated by the Nigerian army under the guise of Operation Python Dance II, was surreptitiously staged in his compound at Afara-ukwu Ibeku in Umuahia, Abia State, in Biafraland.

Mazi Benjamin Mmadubugwu with three other Nnamdi Kanu's co-defendants were later granted bail still on stringent conditions on the 25th of June 2018, following several exchange of legal fireworks in Justice Binta Nyako's presided Federal High Court in Abuja, Nigeria. However, the indomitable Biafra spirit behind Mazi Benjamin Mmadubugwu despite moments of protracted incarceration, clinically exemplified the resilient and courageous spirit of Nnamdi Kanu which is directing and influencing the actions of millions of his followers globally.

In his parting speech, Mazi Benjamin Mmadubugwu enjoined all genuine hardcore Biafrans and followers of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to remain focused and undeterred ahead of the upcoming Biafra referendum exercise. He emphatically reminded all of grave consequences should this Biafra restoration project falls short of realisation.

IPOB PRESS RELEASE
13/2/2019

Stop killing our members, we face execution in Nigeria, IPOB alerts Israel, other world govts.

The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, has made a passionate appeal to Israel and other world governments to prevail on Nigeria Government to stop killing our members as well as other Biafra agitators who visited Nigeria before Christmas and beyond from different countries. Biafrans abroad are humiliated and hunted down in their respective families and communities especially since Nnamdi Kanu IPOB leader snapped pictures with Israeli national coordinator and other members in Israel, their families are under serious attack by DSS and other security operatives.

IPOB alerted the world governments of the danger faced by Biafra agitators family's in Nigeria since the appearance of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu in the state of Israel on October 2018.

IPOB leadership said the appeal had become necessary following reports that some of our members seeking refuge in some foreign countries face threat because of their involvement in the struggle for Biafra freedom.

IPOB, the lives of our members here in Biafraland are in danger of summary execution by security operatives in Nigeria.

We certainly discovered that two of our members who recently arrived from the state of Israel got killed by Nigerian Army and dumped in a boro pit in Aba, Abia State.

IPOB, therefore, must plead with Governments of the world especially the Israeli Government and other western countries to give any support necessary to save the lives of IPOB members who eventually come to Nigeria.

It is important we remind the whole world that those who were coming back from other parts of the world including Israel are facing serious persecutions here in Nigeria, particularly those who snapped pictures with IPOB leader.
Just last week two young men who came back from Israel were killed and dumped along the road and in bush in Aba Abia state.

IPOB said it had been informed that even its Coordinator in Israel, Mr. Ibezim Obiorah Augustine's family is also facing threat from DSS and other security operatives.

The pro -Biafra group appealed to Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu to intervene and save the lives of Augustine and families including other members in Israel.

IPOB also claimed two of its members were allegedly killed by soldiers at Asa Nnentu market Aba, during a campaign rally in Asannetu motor spare parts market where Okezie Ikpeazu the governor of Abia state collaborated with Nigerian Army shot many of our members in the market, an allegation which Dr Uche Ogah and his Campaign Organisation had denied without delay. Nigerian Government had in 2017 proscribed IPOB as a terrorist organization.
This was shortly before the invasion of the home of its Leader, Nnamdi kanu.

Ever since then, IPOB members have gone underground in Nigeria except ocassionaly as anyone arrested with IPOB insignia is treated as a terrorist by the Nigerian authorities.

IPOB has also vowed to sustain its agitation for Biafra independence despite stiff resistance by the authorities, adding that no amount of intimidation or provocation will make it reconsider its non violent approach.

IPOB: SIA SET TO UNVEIL 

IGUDIBIA LETTERS

Sensitization and Information Agency (SIA), an undercover agency working with the supreme leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is set to unveil the 33 letters of Igudibia.

From the message we obtained from their facebook page which reads;

"The long anticipated Igudibia alphabet is about to be fully lunched this 2019 easter.

The attached image is called "Gwair-to".

Gwair-to is the 21st letter of the Igudibia alphabetical order and the 7th letter from the "Gogita" group. It represents the African traditional sound that is made with the English letters (Gw) and is "combined" with the alphabets of the Airto group of Igudibia to make more baby-sounds."

Recall that, on April 2, 2018, the elite team unvieled Igudibia, which they described as a system of writing for the Biafra and Africa in general.

As it was contained in the piece of news that went viral on the media, which was released on April 2, 2018.

Igudibia is the new Biafran system of writing invented by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his elite SIA team. Igudibia was designed by a group of hardcore undercover Biafran agents working with mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

They call themselves S.I.A. Igudubia is a system of writing invented for the Biafra-Africa people. It was created on the 12th of February, 2013.

From this we believe that SIA has been in existence since 2013. However, we don't know much of this Biafran undercover agency, but what we believe is that they are indomitable and are planning something very Big for the restoration of the "Dynamic Republic of Biafra" - as they call it. We also believe that Igudibia is just one out of dozens of projects this elite Biafran geniuses are working on. One thing is for sure, they are loyal and trustworthy Biafrans who are working with and for Nnamdi Kanu for the restoration of Biafra.

They have been undercover for over 6 years now... This is also the duration of IPOB.

Igudibia has 33 letters and can encode over 2532 languages and 326 computer machine code languages. It is the first of its kind, designed to replace the long forgotten insibidi of the ancient Biafra Empire that existed over 5000 years ago.

This message was unvieled on social media by this special group of people working with Nnamdi Kanu, they were ordered to unveil it March ending 2018(easter) on passover which divinely marks the new year according to original counting of our ancestors which rhyme with the biblical and Torah counting of days.

However, the elite team released few Igudibia words and how it can be encoded and decoded.

This message has been sent to many people, please as a Biafran you ought to share and send to others so the world will know that we are seriously determined and prepared for Biafra restoration. Let's restore Biafra the Africa's pride.

The attached image is obtained from SIA's Page on Facebook.

And the letter on the image is called "Gwair-to"

OFFICIAL IPOB RESPONSE TO 

THE RUMOURS SURROUNDING 

THE UNCONFIRMED REPORTS OF THE 

DEMISE OF ANTHONY NWOKO

If the motive behind the sponsored news announcing the unfortunate demise of the Enugu based freelance "prophet" Anthony Nwoko and his previous association with our leader, is to dampen or deflect attention from the earth shattering worldwide broadcast scheduled for Saturday April 20, 2019 on Radio Biafra, then they better be informed that their plans have failed woefully. Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will broadcast, that mankind may know the evil that Nigeria has become. This diversionary tactics of planting a sensational story in APC sympathetic newspapers is meaningless and will never work. Who ever it was within the Nigerian security apparatus that dreamt up this ruse is a colossal failure because we IPOB have faced worse and come out stronger.

Should independent autopsy confirm any foul play in the reported death of Anthony Nwoko, then DSS and Army will be held accountable. Their recent spate of abductions and killings across Biafraland is proof, if any is needed, that they would commit whatever atrocity they can, in the hope of implicating IPOB.

We mourn the loss of every Biafran and in this regard we remember those shot dead in Asaba a few days ago on Monday 15 April, recent victims of Fulani terrorist attacks in Anambra, Delta and Abia. Our heart also go out to those unlawfully incarcerated for the unspeakable crimes at a Catholic Church in Ozubulu who have only two days ago regained their freedom.

IPOB is well aware that Nigerian government and her security agencies will go to any length to stain our unimpeachable reputation in the hope of using it as a cover to continue their ongoing unreported war against IPOB. The media should be mindful not to prejudice the uninvestigated circumstances surrounding the passing of Anthony Nwoko in order not to become unwitting agents of dark forces that wish to tarnish the image of IPOB at any given opportunity.

As a movement rooted in the principles of democratic values and all it entails, IPOB will always welcome criticisms from all quarters because the Biafra we are seeking to build will be an open tolerant society.

We must however caution that Biafrans should be mindful of the opportunities their perceived hostility towards Biafra liberation might present to those seeking to exploit it for the benefit of the Fulani 'One Nigeria' caliphate agenda.

Enemies of Biafra within and outside the East will seek out every available avenue to damage the stellar standing of IPOB and her leadership and they will never ever stop until we recognise the danger they pose to us all. Without the benefit of any official police report on the cause of death, or a cause of death determined by a medical examiner, some journalists of Igbo extraction have already filed a report to their Yoruba bosses in Abuja and Lagos indicting IPOB. Those whose headline screamed "butchered in his house" failed to tell us why no single trace of blood was found in his house or his clothes.

If this APC demonic dictatorship had their way, they would have blamed IPOB for the sacking and conviction of Onnoghen in order to engineer enmity between South East and South South. Nothing is beyond them in their desperation to subdue every opposition.

We will flush out Jubril Al-Sudani the great impostor from Aso Rock. He must provide his DNA and face charges of high crimes and misdemeanours alongside Abba Kyari and the rest. Nothing our enemies does, even with the help of a media that doesn't investigate stories, will stop IPOB from liberating Biafra from the shackles of damnation and iniquity that Nigeria has come to represent.
