A History of Onitsha 

Onitsha Mmili was known as Ado N'Idu, it was founded by one of the sons of Chima, the founder of Issele-Uku kingdom in western Igboland. Chima, a prince of the ancient Benin kingdom emigrated, settled and founded what is now known as Issele-Uku in Aniocha North Local Government Area. The eldest son of Chima eventually emigrated across the Niger River to establish the Onitsha community. It is a town in South East Nigeria famed for its commerce, education and religious centre that lies beside the Niger.

Onitsha is the largest markets in West Africa, a center point where billions of naira are transacted every day.

Onitsha operates a traditional government headed by the Obi, the titular head of the town who is assisted by Ndi Ichie, titled red cap elders or chiefs. Among these are Ndi Ichie Ume, who are the First Class Chiefs. The Ndi Ichie are classified into six, namely: Onowu Iyasele, Ajie Ukadiugwu, Odu Osodi, Onya Ozoma, Ogene Onira and Owelle Osowa, with Onowu Iyasele as the traditional Prime Minister. There are also other Ndi Ichie, who are ranked second class, known as Ndi Okwa and third class, known as Ndi Ichie Okwareze. The Ndi Ichie serve as Council of Advisers to the Obi who solicits their advice in major decisions he takes in the Kingdom.

When the ruling Obi joins his ancestors, the Onowu Iyasele takes charge until a new Obi is enthroned.

Once a year in October the kingdom of Onitsha holds the Ofala Festival which coincides with the traditional New Yam festival held in many parts of Igboland. It is a way for the people of Onitsha to keep their culture alive and it has become a major event that draws visitors from far and wide to the city.

There are nine groups of Kindred, (Ebo Etenani), making up Onitsha Ado Community.

Onitsha traditionally consists of nine villages, otherwise known as Ebo Itenani. These are descendants of the progenitor Umuezechima comprising Isiokwe, Olosi, Umuezearoli, Okebunabo, Obikporo and Ogbeotu which claim origin from Igala in Kogi state, Awada (Ogbeozoma), Obamkpa comprising Umuasele, Iyiawu and Odoje Ndugbe and Odumegwu Gbuagu, Ubulu na Ikem, Ulutu, Ubene, Ogboli Eke, Obior and Ogbeotu. Within these groupings there are six administrative wards namely Okebunabo, Umuezearoli, Ogbeolu, Isiokwe na Ogboli Olosi, Obamkpa and Eke na Ubene.

The history of Onitsha began with the migration of its people from the Benin Empire towards the end of early part of the Sixteenth Century AD. The migration was as a result of a wave of unrest, war and displacement unleashed by the Islamic movement from North Africa.

It was during their passage through the outskirts of Ile-Ife that they acquired the name Onitsha - a corruption of the Yoruba word Orisha and Udo, the famous shrine worshipped by the people. As time went on, the combination of the two words, Onitsha for Orisha and Ado for Udo culminated in the present name , Onitsha Ado.

The people of Onitsha left the outskirts of Ile-Ife and resettled in the Benin Kingdom and soon established themselves as one of the clans in the Benin Kingdom exercising all the rights and privileges attached thereon.

As a result of a long process of acculturation in Benin, the Onitsha people jealously guarded their acquired rights particularly with regard to their revered Shrine Udo.

It was suggested that the reason why the Onitsha people quarreled with Oba Esigie, (1404-1550), of Benin was because of the slight, the Oba gave their shrine-Udo. It was customary for newly installed Oba to pay homage to all important Shrines in the Benin Kingdom by slaughtering a cow in the shrines enclave. Oba Esigie failed to do this at the Onitsha people's Udo-Shrine, hence the quarrel.

It took the Onitsha people several years before they got to Obior and Ilah and finally crossed the River Niger and established Onitsha Ado. They stopped at several places in the then Mid-West now called Delta State, places like Agbor, Issele-Uku, etc. This explains the affinity with the inhabitants of Delta State like Ilah, Issele-Uku, Obbaamkpa, Onitsha-Olona, Onitsha Ugbo, Agbo, Obior, Onitsha Ukwu and so on.

After their arrival on the east bank (Onicha-mmili, "Onitsha-on-water"), the community gradually became a unitary kingdom, evolving from a loosely organized group of "royal" villages to encompass "non-royal" villages comprising Igala settlers, and the native Igbos to form a more centralized entity. 

Eze Aroli was apparently the first genuinely powerful Obi of Onitsha, the ruler of the city.

Onitsha slowly grew to become an important trading port for the Royal Niger Company in the mid-1850s following the abolition of slavery and with the development of the steam engine when Europeans were able to move into the hinterland.

Trade in palm kernels, palm oil, and other cash crops on the coast of Bight of Biafra increased around this river port in the 19th century.

In 1857 British palm oil traders established a permanent station in the city with Christian missionaries joining them, headed by the liberated African bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (a Yoruba receptive) and Reverend John Taylor (an Igbo Recaptive).

In 1900 Onitsha became part of a British protectorate.The British colonial government and Christian missionaries penetrated most of Igboland to set up their administration, schools and churches through the river port at Onitsha.

Dennis Memorial Grammar School established by the Anglican Church Mission Society in 1925
More immigrants from the hinterland of Igboland were drawn to the emerging boom town as did the British traders who settled there in Onitsha, and coordinated the palm oil and cash crops trade.

In 1965, the Niger River Bridge was built across the Niger River to replace the ferry crossing. This has helped to grow trade routes with western Nigeria and created significant economic linkages between Onitsha and Benin City and Lagos particularly.

Awka Summit Is wholly Fail

AWKA SUMMIT TURNED INGLORIOUS AS NNIA NWODO                             ENCOUNTERED IPOB WOMEN

Mazi Onyebuchi Eze Reporting for Family Writers Press

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has again unmistakably demonstrated to the global community, the level of disdain they have for the so-called Nigeria Restructuring Summit held in Awka, Anambra state on Monday 21st May, 2018. Prior to this fraudulent event, the leadership of the IPOB, through it's Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, pointedly warned that Biafrans would not allow any form of anti-people summit to hold anywhere within Biafraland, to further the enslavement policy of the powers that be. Family Writers Press Correspondents who covered the event from Ekwueme Square, being the Summit venue, reported that the Nigerian armed forces which included Soldiers and Policemen, violently descended on the family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). They were reportedly identified in the event venue, with scores terribly wounded and others arrested before the summit commenced.

However, the IPOB women who were specifically detailed with an assignment, maturedly maintained calmness in the face of diversities of provocative treatments being carried out against the IPOB youths by the security agencies. Then came the much awaited time of the saboteur-in-chief and the President of the infamous Ohaneze Ndigbo group, Nnia Nwodo, to mount the podium for his own speech before his guests in the summit. There arose the resilient and courageous IPOB women who unanimously voiced out a deafening rejection to all that Nnia Nwodo was struggling so hard to dish out to the public. This action of the IPOB women brought the summit to a shamefully abrupt end as they vowed and stood their ground even in the presence of armed security operatives, never to allow any other speaker access to the podium for further speeches.

People who converged for the delusional restructuring summit, started thronging out of the venue, for their safety, following the chaotic situation and frustration. The women of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), insisted that Biafra referendum must be conducted for the unfettered restoration of the Independence and Sovereign Nation of Biafra as collectively and unequivocally being demanded by the people. The old monster and chief saboteur of the people, having realized his fruitless and disgraceful venture as the frustrated and disappointedmasses kept thronging out of the Alex Ekwueme Square, took to his heels. Other Biafrans who openly supported the action of the IPOB women, equally joined in the fray.

ỌHANEZE AND THE RESTRUCTURING SONG. 

By Okey Igbokwe

What manner of restructuring is Ohaneze campaigning for? This is one of the points I'm yet to get the specifics. From the other end, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is singing his own different song on restructuring. He has already hinted that he's going to achieve the impossible by restructuring Nigeria in just six months of his presidency. Again without clear specifics. It should not take a toddler or a neophyte in politics a second thought to observe the deceit in all these cacophony. Ohaneze Ndi Igbo is being used by Atiku Abubakar as vehicle to drive his 2019 presidential campaign and gain Igbo popularity. As part of this decoy, the first place he took this restructuring comedy happened to be in UNN of all places where he felt our Young Minds could easily swallow it. A risk he dares not take in the ultra radical Ahmadu Bello university or Bayero. Ohaneze is about to host a summit on restructuring in Ala Igbo. All the while they have been singing this music, they are yet to bother our people with the specifics or the type of restructuring they want; whether political restructuring, economic restructuring or restructuring along regional or ethnic lines. Restructuring Nigeria in whatever form is not as easy as drinking tea. And Atiku Abubakar knows this. Yet he's telling our people, using Ohaneze, that he's going to do it in six literal months. Ohaneze should quit allowing this revered socio cultural institution to be used as political foot march by anybody desperate for Igbo support. No type of restructuring in Nigeria today could settle the Igbo quest for equity and inclusiveness. Nigeria is already too suffocating for Ndi Igbo. Besides, Ohaneze can not be talking restructuring without asking questions on the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu and his parents who originated this consciousness to restructure. Nnamdi Kanu and his parents disappeared for months now following the invasion of their home by a rampaging, murderous Nigerian Army few days after coming out of a round-table with Ohaneze and Igbo governors. It is a criminal indictment on Ohaneze and Igbo governors. Their silence since the disappearance of Mr Kanu and his parents who is a traditional ruler shows that Ohaneze is complicit on whatever fate that befell them. You can not claim to be a father of a house and your child vanished in mysterious circumstance and you could not ask question. What manner of father are you? It portrays you as irresponsible. Also, hundreds of Igbo youth agitating for freedom and demanding equity are languishing in various prisons across Nigeria without Ohaneze raising an eyebrow. Yet these are supposed to be their children. Can fanciful restructuring talk assuage their feelings or secure their freedom? Nnamdi Kanu it was, who awakened the consciousness of people on the flaws and seams about Nigeria at the risk of his life and family. Sensitive topics people were wont to speak in hushed tone and afraid to say in public, Nnamdi Kanu broadcasted everywhere daring the consequences. Something a hitherto indolent and docile Ohaneze with Igbo governors could not do. With uncommon courage, he energized our people, he mobilized them to stand up for their right. The entire world heard us. He exposed the criminal injustices deliberately designed to suppress our people. He breathed in our people a new conscious awakening. He was the reason everyone started rambling about restructuring, including Ohaneze. Such an important sacrifice can not be made and Ohaneze can not stand up to ask questions as father figure when such person suddenly disappeared from the public. The crowd Nnamdi Kanu pulled can never be matched by anybody within Ohaneze rank. And what those crowd are asking for is Referendum not Restructuring. Igbo culture is a true embodiment of democracy. It is a brand of system practiced even before the colonial masters came with their own brand. In Igbo brand of democracy, the voice of the people is what is adhered to and never the voice of a authoritarian figure. Igbo culture abhors dictatorship. Therefore, denying their demands for a referendum by few in Ohaneze means denying them their democratic right. And it means that Ohaneze is bending towards dictatorship and authoritarianism. Ohaneze can not use our revered socio cultural institution as shelf to sell Atiku product for 2019. They must demand the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu and his family as well as tell the world and whoever that is coming to them for support about the democratic demands of our people, which is Referendum.

Eleme And Ogoni Elders In Support Of Biafra

      Eleme And Ogoni Elders In Support Of Biafra

We are almost there!
Today was a remarkable day as far as biafra struggle is concerned as Eleme and Ogoni Elders soberly declared their full support for Biafra Referendum. They are also calling the United Nations , European Union and the international communities to as a matter of urgency conduct a referendum for Biafra so as to determine where they want to belong. They made it abundantly clear that they no longer want Nigeria as their nation because Nigeria is like a hellfire to them. They said that it is only Biafra that will bring everlasting peace and joy to them and their generations to come.

Open America Embassy In Jerusalem As Israeli Capital

Opening of American Embassy In Jerusalem 

14^th 2018

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU PRIME 

MINISTER OF ISRAEL’S POWERFUL 

PROPHETIC SPEECH TODAY.

He Said:
**In Jerusalem, Abraham passed the greatest test of faith and the right to be the father of our nation.

**In Jerusalem, King David established our capital three thousand years ago.

**The prophet, Zechariah, declared over 2,500 years ago, ‘So said the Lord, ‘I will return to Zion and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth.’

THE FULL SPEECH

Dear friends,

What a GLORIOUS day. REMEMBER THIS MOMENT. This is history. President Trump, by recognizing history, you have made history. All of us are deeply moved. All of us are deeply grateful.

For me, being here brings back wonderful memories from my childhood. I spent the first three years of my life in this neighborhood, in Ein Gedi Street in Talpiot, which is not very far away. There were a few charming houses here, many open fields. I remember ambling in these fields with my brother, Yoni. He was six; I was three. He held my hand very tight. We’d walk to this wondrous house of Professor Joseph Klausner, the renowned Jewish historian who was my father’s teacher. I used to peer through the slats of the wooden synagogue where he and the great Israeli writer, Shai Agnon, used to pray on Shabbat.

And David, I would approach this place right here, but only so far, because my mother told me, ‘You can’t go any further.’ This was near the border. It was exposed to sniper fire. THAT WAS THEN. THIS IS NOW, TODAY.

Today, the embassy of the most powerful nation on earth, our greatest ally, the United States of America, today its embassy opened here.

So for me this spot brings back personal memories, but for our people, it evokes profound collective memories of the greatest moments we have known on this City on a Hill.

In Jerusalem, ABRAHAM passed the greatest test of faith and the right to be the father of our nation.

In Jerusalem, KING DAVID established our capital three thousand years ago.

In Jerusalem, KING SOLOMON built our Temple, which stood for many centuries.

In Jerusalem, Jewish exiles from Babylon rebuilt the Temple, which stood for many more centuries.

In Jerusalem, the Maccabees rededicated that Temple and restored Jewish sovereignty in this land.

And it was here in Jerusalem some two thousand years later that the soldiers of Israel spoke three immortal words, ‘Har ha’bayit be’yadeinu,’ ‘The Temple Mount is in our hands,’ words that lifted the spirit of the entire nation.

WE ARE IN JERUSALEM AND WE ARE HERE TO STAY.
We are here in Jerusalem, protected by the brave soldiers of the army of Israel, led by our Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, and our brave soldiers, our brave soldiers are protecting the borders of Israel as we speak today. We salute them all, and the members of our security forces, the Shin Bet and the Mossad, whose head is with us today. We salute you all, all of you.

Over a century ago, the Balfour Declaration recognized the right of the Jewish people to a national home in this land. And exactly 70 years ago today, President Truman became the first world leader to recognize the newborn Jewish state.

Last December, President Trump became the first world leader to recognize Jerusalem as our capital. And today, the United States of America is opening its embassy right here in Jerusalem.

Thank you. Thank you, President Trump, for having the courage to keep your promises. Thank you, President Trump, and thank you all, for making the alliance between America and Israel stronger than ever. And thank you, a special thank you, to you, Ambassador Friedman. Thank you, David, for everything you do to bring our countries and our peoples closer together. Today, you have a special privilege. You are privileged to become the first American ambassador to serve your country in Jerusalem, and this is a distinct honor that will be yours forever. Nobody can be first again.

MY FRIENDS THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR ISRAEL. It’s a great day for America. It’s a great day for our fantastic partnership. But I believe it’s also a great day for peace.

I want to thank Jared, Jason and David for your tireless efforts to advance peace, and for your tireless efforts to advance the truth. The truth and peace are interconnected. A peace that is built on lies will crash on the rocks of Middle Eastern reality. YOU CAN ONLY BUILD PEACE ON TRUTH, and the truth is that JERUSALEM HAS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE CAPITAL OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE, the capital of the Jewish state. Truth,  peace and justice – as our Supreme Court Justice here. Hanan Melcer, can attest – truth, peace and justice, this is what we have and this is what we believe in.

The PROPHET ZECHARIAH , declared over 2,500 years ago, ‘So said the Lord, ‘I will return to Zion and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth.’

May the opening of this embassy in this city spread the truth far and wide, and may the truth advance a lasting peace between Israel and all our neighbors.

G-d bless the United States of America and G-d bless Jerusalem, THE ETERNAL UNDIVIDED CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.

Baruch atah A-donai Elokeinu melekh ha’olam shehecheyanu vekiymanu vehigi’anu lazman hazeh [Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the Universe, who has granted us life, sustained us and enabled us to reach this occasion”]

The Republican News

NOW BUHARI HAS ABANDONED BRITAIN, 

WHAT SHOULD IPOB DO? PART 1

The dire need to let Biafrans understand what is playing out internationally base on my presumption, forced me into writing this work. All is not well for Nigeria as she is in terrible condition that her rate of survivalhood is on discouraging rate.

Buhari like other Nigeria leaders of Northern extraction did hoped in great Britain for sustainability of Nigeria false union. Internationally, Britain has been playing this noble role for her useless child in expense of Nigeria oil. It was same Britain that has been marketing and drafting Nigeria foreign policies as the later only stands where Britain stands internationally.

Surprisingly, there arose a man named Nnamdi Kanu in pre David Cameron and Barack Obama global system. To me, that was the greatest risk taking by IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu, to emerged in such risky international system that was anti Israel, pro one Nigeria and of course anti Biafra. In line with his accurate predictions and discretion, David Cameron disappeared, Obama exited and Buhari died, living the Nigeria/Biafra quagmire into relatively pro Biafra international system.

To project Arabism and please Britain, Buhari used his first two years in office to attack Israel over Palestine. In two different occasions in Qatar and New York, he called for Muslims coalition against Israel with hope Britain will save him the day Israel will roar. In fact, Buhari today is greatly disappointed on the failure of Britain to save Nigeria. It was a great shock for Buhari to realise that Israel is building up military presence in Lome with an eye on Nigeria. U. S presently doing same in Ghana with an eye on saving "christains in Nigeria ".

What got Abuja mad now is that Britain could not stop Ghana from providing lands for U. S United Accord coalition forces presently in Ghana. Abuja is wondering how the United Accord forces coalition which comprise of US, Canada, Germany and other African states could be constituted by U.S without Britain being part of the coalition? To Aso Rock, this is danger! It obvious to them that danger looms. How best could this danger be averted, they now choose to shun Britain and run to Israel having seen how Britain is presently humiliated by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netayahu.

Against British and conservative Fulani Sokoto Caliphate, Nigeria sent delegate to witness US embassy opening in Jerusalem. Buhari has abandoned Palestinians to save Nigeria. The same Buhari who was too critical of Israel over Palestine comfortably observed the killing of over 42 violent Palestinian rioters in Gaza Strip yesterday and till date, Nigeria did not condemned it? That is how frustrated and desperate Nigeria is today courtesy of IPOB.

Now Nigeria has to eat her vomit by attending the opening ceremony of the same Embassy she voted against in UN, what do you think US and Israel will tell her! This I will talk about in the next write up....

 

Paraguay opened a new embassy Monday in Jerusalem, becoming the third country to make the politically sensitive move in the past week.

Paraguayan President Horacio Cartes said at a dedication ceremony that the move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is "historic" and strengthens the ties between Paraguay and Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed Paraguay's decision.

Last week, the United States was the first to officially open its embassy in Jerusalem, fulfilling a campaign pledge from President Donald Trump.

Guatemala moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem two days later.

Palestinians have strongly opposed the changes. They see East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state, while Israel views Jerusalem as its undivided capital.

Ibeh Gift Amarachi reporting....

Ifeanyi Ubah Sealed The Deal To Testify Against Kanu

IFEANYI UBAH SEALED THE DEAL TO TESTIFY AGAINST NNAMDI KANU.

IFEANYI UBAH SEALED THE DEAL 

TO TESTIFY AGAINST NNAMDI KANU.

The identity of the hooded witness against Nnamdi Kanu on Tuesday would be Ifeanyi Ubah, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu next court date was busted. Ifeanyi Ubah, a secondary school dropout who contested the last governorship election in Anambra State with NECO result as his educational qualification is at it again. However, this time, he is in against the Igbos and Nnamdi Kanu. It has been authoritatively confirmed by our undercover agent that Ifeanyi Ubah of Capital Oil is the new Ifeajunna in Igbo land. Ifeanyi Ubah last year agreed to testify against Nnamdi Kanu in Court so as to save himself from jail and also protect his business. The devilish plot to make sure that the legacies of the greatest Igbo son Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu, Eze Igbo Gburugburu is thrown to the dogs because of his hatred for him and his personal interest of saving his neck from jail is disgusting wicked and senseless. It is disturbing to learn that Ifeanyi Ubah last year in Kano agree in the presence of prominent Nigerians of northern extraction to testify as a hooded witness against Nnamdi Kanu in his next Court appearance.

Wearing a mask during the testimony are some of the conditions Ifeanyi Ubah gave to the Northerners before he will mount the witness box. He also requested that the trial must be a SECRET trial. One begins to ask why Ifeanyi Ubah will agree to work against Eze Igbo Gburugburu and Nnamdi Kanu. Our in-depth investigation revealed that Ifeanyi Ubah who duped former President Goodluck Jonathan of Billions of Naira with TAN is on the list of wanted Criminals who milked the nation dry during the last Presidential campaign. Ifeanyi Ubah know he is heading to jail If he did not act fast. The desire to save his neck pushed him into the wicked negotiation against Nnamdi Kanu and all Igbo interest. Today, he is in APC and is ready to Sell his soul against the Igbos. Also among the reasons driving him against the Igbos is the issue of illegal round tripping Oil business Ifeanyi Ubah's Capital Oil did between 2008 to 2015. Ifeanyi Ubah has agreed to act Ifeajunna because of his personal interest and not the general interest of the Igbos. Recall that the Northerners as their part of the agreement lobbied the Federal Government to pay Ifeanyi Ubah money running into eleven billion Naira to betray the Igbos.

The world is now aware of the identity of the bulky man who will wear a mask and mount the witness box against Nnamdi Kanu. Ifeanyi Uabah is heartless and wicked, We are also informed that Ifeanyi Ubah is now in APC as part of the agreement. Any Igbo man in APC is against the Igbos and Ifeanyi Ubah has join the list of Igbos who hate the Igbos.

NIGERIAN GOVT IS NO LONGER RECOGNIZED IN 

BIAFRA LAND AS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BUT 

AN ALIEN OCCUPATIONAL GOVT

As Nigerian government has failed to organize Biafra referendum till yesterday being October 1, 2017, Nigerian government has eventually become a mere occupational alien government in Biafra land. Biafra populace will no longer accord Nigeria government any national respect because our people have rejected Nigeria. All the structures of Nigerian government presently situated in Biafra land such as the office of governors, Federal and State legislative constituencies, security agencies formation are all in Biafra land on the forceful occupational capacity but without the endorsement of the indigenous people.

The souls of all the people of Biafra worldwide have left Nigeria as was demonstrated yesterday all over the world by complete boycott of Nigeria independence celebration. Biafra populace refused to identify themselves with Nigeria pseudo Independence Day celebration because they are no more Nigerians. Biafra populace will continue to torment Nigeria government with civil disobedience until Nigeria government carves out Biafra territories out of Nigeria.

The time given to Nigerian government to conduct referendum for Biafra may have passed because Nigeria government failed to heed advice from IPOB leadership. As the date for the useless election in Anambra state draws near, Biafran populace will not go near the polling units because it is an anathema for any Biafran to cast even a single vote standing on the blood of our people killed by Nigeria army in Aba, Umuahia and Obigbo.

Curse be that Biafran who will be cynical to urinate on the blood of our people killed these few days by Nigerian army through OPERATION PYTHON DANCE, if the person goes to put any vote come November 18, 2017. Nigerian government is hereby denounced and proscribed all over Biafra land. Woe unto them who still identify with Nigeria government of disgrace! As for Biafra youths, we have no business with Nigeria politics, government and other things any more.

We are under Solemn Oath to restore Biafra even at gunpoint.

Shi ya nje!

Dream Of Biafra To Come Soon

                                DIVINE REVELATION

I want to narrate the dream i had on the 12th day of July 2017 at about 4 a.m.

I, Chinemerem Dike was in a dream, then i saw a very mighty train as huge as 5 storey building in height, its lenght was like from Aba to Igweocha. the speed of the train was like 800km per hour. as I watched with keen interest, the hugeness and great speed of the train, I saw an inscription boldly written on the body of the train "BIAFRA TRAIN", each alphabets of the letter was as big as a storey building. so as this train ran fast with unimaginable speed, i saw myself inside it and at the same time outside it.

While I was inside the train , I saw very great crowd of people both great and small, whose number can not be counted by any man, the whole crowd was chanting and singing victorious song in different languages but the only language I could understand among all was the ones singing in Igbo language. they were singing; Pharaoh, anyi agaghi efe gi oru ozo etc. as they sang this and many other songs in their different languages, I saw a very mighty hand without body lifting and throwing some people outside the train and they fell on the ground rolling themselves, I also found myself outside the train, watching the train and still amazed at the hugeness and high speed of the train, I saw many prominent people who were outside the train, they were trying to get hold of the train but they could not grab it due to the fast speed, and they fell to the ground rolling their bodies on the ground as the train ran past. as i stood there wondering why these people could not catch the moving train, i looked and saw a man of youthful age, about 30 years, he was coming towards me in great hugeness and terrible countenance, his clothes were as bright as cloud of heaven infact i could not behold or look at his shinning brightness. i became afraid and amazed because as he was coming towards me his size and height was also increasing more, his voice sounded terrible with echoes of thunder. i began to tremble like a child, i asked, 'sir did you come out from this long train?' he laughed and said that is why i have come to know if you really understood all that you saw about the train. then i said, sir please i don't understand anything, what is the meaning of this train, where did it come from and where is it going to?. he answered; this is BIAFRA TRAIN, it is coming from SLAVE LAND and going to EAST LAND". he went further to explain, "its running very fast so as to reach its destination at the appointed time and date scheduled for it, when it gets the the destination, these crowd of witnesses will alight into the kingdom, then the train will run further to bring back DIASPORA". then i cried out in tears saying, 'sir please help me to understand these terms!!', and he said, are you crying when the fulfilment of the divine arrangement is at hand; be happy and cheerful. he went further to explain ; now the crowd of people you see inside the train are Indigenous Biafrans, they are brought out from SLAVELAND (Nigeria) and they are singing their victory to their KINGDOM Nation (LAND OF THE RISING SUN)". as soon as these people reach their land the train will travel further to other parts of the globe to bring all people of Biafra who were scattered into different parts of the world since ages. 

As i looked at the train again, it was as if the speed has increased, then i discovered that this train was divided into (7) seven coaches full of people, and other empty coaches as well. each of the coach has a serial number engraved on it, such as: C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5 etc, i asked the man to explain the coaches and he said "each coach of this train contains Indigenous people of seven nations of the great nation of Biafra. indigenous s people of the Igbos, Ijaws, Ibibios, Igalas, Igbankes, Idoma, Ikwerres, etc and there are other nations which will also be joined to the empty coaches".

So i asked, sir, when will the train reach the destination and on what date? he said that i should not bother to know because its destination is already at hand so soon, he said that what should concern in me most is about the indigenous people of this kingdom who are scattered all over Diaspora, and that is why the train is driven by divine force in other to bring them back to their FATHER LAND, but since you want to know the time and date i will write it for you on a paper. he put his hand inside his front pocket of his white garment and brought out a pen and paper, wrote the date, month, year, hour etc. he gave me the paper and i put it inside my pocket hoping to read it when i get home. the he asked "do you understand the mystery behind the people who were thrown out of the train and those who could not grab it?" No sir, i replied. he said; "the mighty hand you saw is the hand of the Mighty Angel assigned by Chukwuokike Abiama. he is in charge of restoring the great nation of BIAFRA TO THE PEOPLE OF THE RISING SUN". those people who the hand threw outside are those people who were committed in the struggle for their freedom but later stained their white clothes with corruption and dangles of fascination of their enemies (the PHAROAH). they became agents of sabotage and betrayal and consequently became REBBELS, and they eventually lost their place in the HOLY QUEST and struggle like lucifer who lost his place and position in heaven and no place was found for them in the train".,

He further explained; "now the other people who wanted to catch or grab the fast moving train with their hands are those who are controlled by their spirit of hatred, envy and jealousy, some of them do not want to die for the sake of war, some do not want to loose their ill gotten positions and advantages, their number was so great, both big, small, white and black, rulers , servants, slaves etc. their leaders were like Janes and Jambres in the holy Book (Bible) who wanted to gain prominence and recognition among the people but they failed. the joined their hands together to increase their power and some even go to the extent of involving spiritualist to see if they can pull the train of Biafra down or to curse them to destruction. they took the position of Balak who invited prophet balam inorder for him to curse the people of ELOHIM, but he was disappointed because a blessed people cannot be cursed by any human or spirit. Biafra was cursed and scattered for their idolatry, but their curse has been reversed by reason of atonement and who can overturn this their blessing? and yet CHUKWUOKIKE-ABIAMA shall gather them together from the four corners of the earth and they shall worship him in truth and glory and they shall not remain in the land of DARKNESS which is called Nigeria, their garment of slavery shall be removed from their body. 

and he asked again saying "cant you see that the train is unstoppable?" yes i can see sir, i replied.

So as i looked at him i saw a boldly written inscription on the top of his front pocket. it has four different colours of Green, Red, Black and Yellow written in capital letters N. D. O. K, as he waned to hurry away from me, i ran towards him and said; "sir please let me ask you this last question", then he stopped and i asked; "please explain to me the meaning of this alphabets on the top of your cloth and why are you wearing white colour?" then he said, this is the initial of the prophet of Chukwuokike, he is NNAM DI OKWU KANU, WE ARE WHITER THAN WHITE, and WHITER THAN SNOW, WE DO NOT KNOW ANY CORRUPTION!!!

Immediately he finished saying this, i fell down before him and shouted "are you the one?, are you the one? the he vanished from me and i saw myself lying on the bed.

DEAD SILENCE IN ASO ROCK 

FOLLOWING BEHIND-

THE-SCENE  DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN 

DONALD TRUMP 

AND MUHAMMADU BUHARI

Written by Mazi Onyebuchi Eze
For Family Writers Press

It is not surprising to watchers of events in Nigeria, that since  President Donald Trump hosted Muhammadu Buhari in the White House in Washington DC, United States of America, there has been an unusual quietness in the Nigerian seat of power at Aso Rock, Abuja, Nigeria. The principal officers of the Nigerian government have suddenly become dumb on very salient issues, following the "Behind-The-Scene" discussions Donald Trump had with Buhari regarding events in Nigeria, contrary to what obtained previously. There are clear indications that something may have gone amiss which resulted in the unprecedented ceasefire in the media propaganda machinery sponsored by the Nigerian government through the office of Alhaji Lai Muhammed, Nigeria's Minister of Information and Communication and Mr. Femi Adesina, Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity. The following questions will help drive home my assertions, viz:

(1) Why the sudden muteness of Alhaji Lai Muhammed since the return of President Muhammadu Buhari from the White House?

(2) Why has Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria's Vice President, now assumed the position of government spokesperson issuing most of the media statements since the arrival of Muhammadu Buhari from the United States of America?

(3) Why the sudden dead silence and change of practice for Alhaji Lai Muhammed and his fellow "opportunity hunters" (Principal Officers) of the government in furthering their government's propaganda and blackmail drive against the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) while this International outing would have very effectively, served as a veritable propaganda machinery?

(4) Why is it that apart from the warning pointedly handed down to Buhari and his government by the US President -  Donald Trump, against the continued killing of Christians in Nigeria which elaborately trended in the Nigerian media, nothing else as a fallout of the White House discussions was published?

(5) Why is it that Garba Shehu who once floated a misleading and unfounded propaganda that Donald Trump put a call across to Muhammadu Buhari few days after his (Trump's) Presidential Inauguration, suddenly ran dearth of stories as Buhari got invited to the White House?

Armed with indebt assessment of the above posers, it becomes evidently clear that President Donald Trump may have issued out a mandate to President Muhammadu Buhari on distinct line of actions to take while in a closed door meeting which was exclusively censored for media consumption, thereby triggering off palpable trepidation in the Nigerian seat of power in Aso Rock since Buhari's US visit.

Stopping over in London from Washington DC by Buhari on the ground of his presidential fleet's embarkment on technical repairs and the present visit to Britain for the so-called routine medical checkup, are all desultory attempts to hoodwink the gullible and quell the confusion presently engulfing Aso Rock. Buhari and his government are hellbent on consulting Britain, the creator of the contrapted Nigeria, on the safe line of actions to adopt. However, all these schemings by the government, dedound to fruitlessness as no mortal or force under the sun can truncate the Biafra restoration effort as nothing short of Biafra issue forms the major agenda of his London trips. God is absolutely in charge.

Could it have been that President Donald Trump told Muhammadu Buhari to go back home and work out detailed plans for the eventual freedom and restoration of Biafra via a successful referendum for peace to reign? This, no one can emphatically confirm. But one thing is certain: it is only the support from President Donald Trump for the unfettered restoration of the sovereignty of the nation of Biafra, that can rattle the cabalistic den in Aso Rock as being presently witnessed since the return of President Muhammadu Buhari from his US trip. The open warning he was handed down with about the immediate cessation of killings targeted against Christians in Nigeria by every inch of objectivity, has no capacity to cause the magnitude of the unprecedented quietness as being witnessed in Aso Rock presently. It has terribly unsettled the uncultured antecedents of the likes of the government's Lies and Propaganda Chieftain - Alhaji Lai Muhammed. Whatever President Trump may have told Buhari that has adversely unsettled the Aso Rock den of cabals, Biafrans are closely monitoring. The full restoration of the sovereign nation of their fatherland - Biafra, is indisputably imminent.

GOD BLESS BIAFRA!

 BIAFRA: MOBILIZATION TEAM 

RECORD GREAT SUCCESS 

IN OGONI LAND

The mobilization wing of the Indigenous People of Biafra embarks on community and person to person sensitization in Ogoni land on 7th may 2018.

Recall that the supreme leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra has appointed mobilization officers for each state and tribes in Biafra throughout the Eastern region before his apprehension by the Nigeria government.

Consequently, the team have been on the move to sensitize, educate, reconcile and reunite the Biafran people to stand up in one accord and demand for their right, which is the total restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra.

The team which consists of Mr Cosmos George, Mr Barilele Deekor, Ogoni, Mr Pomtera Nubaridoo, Ogoni, Mr O. T. Alegwuchi Ikwere and Mr Gabriel Leeleebari, Ogoni, left Port Harcourt at about 6:30am on Monday 7th May 2018 met with some prominent Ogoni sons in Yeghe community Bori Ogoni land, among who were:  

 (1) Mr Mbeke Baribefi, chairman governor's forum Ogoni Central Indigenous Authority (OCIA).

Cosmos George the Leader of the team inform Mr Mbeke Baribefi on the imminent restoration of the United States of Biafra (USB) and the need to unit as a people in other realize our freedom dream which according to him everyone was yearning for.

Furthermore, he also informed Mr Mbeke that everything needed for Biafra freedom was ready but only Unity of all different ethnic groups within the region was lacking in the process.

The trilateral agreement of the 30 pillars of Biafra and the proposed government of Biafra with some sensitization audio CDs was also handed over to him for consideration.

Mr Mbeke in his response thank the team on his reception of the documents and promised to discuss the issue in the governor's forum of the Ogoni Central Indigenous Authority (OCIA)

And will get back to the team on a later date.

(2) Barrister, B.Z. Gabriel Gbaragbo, on meeting with the Barrister, Cosmos George explained to him the purpose of the visit, and also handed over a copy of the trilateral agreement with some audio CDs concerning the need for the entire region to unite for Biafra freedom, he further exclaimed that been unable to put aside internal differences was an obstacle to the freedom of the region, going alone as a tribe was suicidal, he added.

Barr. B. Z. Gbaragbo on his part was full of gratitude and prayed earnestly for the team, promising to go through the trilateral agreement and as well inform other intellectuals about the development.

 

(3) Elder Kpakue, upon hearing the good news of uniting for freedom, poured out his gratitude to team stressing that if this is what will end the suffering of the Ogoni people, then it’s worth doing.

(4) Osaro Benjamin Noobu, Youth President Barabe Nukpor community, together with some other youths under his jurisdiction who the team met in a waterside where they were manually digging out sand for sell.

 After been addressed on the purpose of the visitation, the youth leader was overwhelmed, but vented out his frustration on how the Ogoni people have suffered in hands of Nigeria government. And that he was sure that coming together to press home our demand was the best thing that can ever happen to the Eastern region otherwise known as Biafra, stressing that the Ogoni people have suffered enough.

Audio CDs on the trilateral agreement and why Unity is key, was also distributed to the youths.

KILLED BIAFRANS EXCLUDED FROM SENATE'S LIST OF KILLINGS: 

AN EVIDENCE THAT BIAFRANS COUNT FOR NOTHING IN NIGERIA

Are there still those who think the Biafra course is unjustified and uncalled for? Have you seen the recently released list of killings in Nigeria, for which the Senate wants the IG of Police to appear before them? Yes, Nigerian Senate, under the pilotship of Saraki, released the death toll since 2015. They may claim that it is since January this year, but you and I know the truth. What no one knows is that I have been going through that list over and over in my quest to find the killings that took place at Umuahia, Anambra, Port Harcourt, and Aba.

Initially, I thought it was an omission, but it just dawned on me that Umuahia, Anambra, Aba, and Port Harcourt could not have been omitted at the same time. It is, undoubtedly, a lucid case of deliberate exclusion. It simply means that the Senate, under the auspices of Saraki's, okays the killings that have taken place in these Biafra states, but frowns at others. The logic is simple: as long as it is happening in Biafra states it is welcome.

Now that the Senate has divided Nigeria inadvertently, what are we waiting for? It is crystal clear that anything bad that happens in Biafra states are outside the jurisdiction of the Senate. What are we doing here? Why are we still in Nigeria? What argument do the naysayers vis-a-vis this agitation have for wanting us to remain here where we are treated as derelicts? Does the exclusion of ills happening in the East not converge with our clamour to leave Nigeria? Who stays where genocide against his people are given legislative viva/consent?

How come we are always nothing when it comes to our welfare, but all of a sudden something each time we want to leave? Nigeria keeps informing us that we are the host for their parasitism. It is all about provision of all all Nigeria wants without even the minutest reward or appreciation. Like latex from rubber tree, we are being sapped dry by the West and North. The hinterland and coastal parts of Biafra are the economic soul of Nigeria, yet they are the waste bins - the ones that are treated with disdain. How ironic!

We must wake up from this coma. There is no glimmer of hope in Nigeria. Politically and economically, we have been victimized. They steal from us and see no need to be remorseful. Bills that seek to better our lot are thrown out of the hallowed chambers even before they are read. Nigeria hates Biafra with conflagrating passion. The unity you hear them talk about is one that sustains the parasitic relationship between Nigeria and Biafra.

Biafrans must stop fighting one another. We don't need the war of attrition anymore, since it fans the ember of our common foes. Let us love one another more and work in unison for our freedom. Those of us that sabotage the struggle are under the influence of the enemy. Let us forgive them all and find a way to work with them for optimum result. We must leave Nigeria. Nigeria is a perpetual prison and fortress. Nigeria is a de-correctional facility where the SANE become INSANE. Let wealthy Biafrans contact me for serious discussion on SONAR, RADAR, ELECTRIC FURNACE technologies. There is serious work to be done. There are great scientists that need some wealthy Biafrans. A country that hates us so much deserves to be jettisoned. All hail Biafra!

Nigeria, we hate
Biafra, we hail thee
