- Happening Now

A reliable source has revealed how three Hausa Men were caught red handed in an attempt to plant some explosive devices inside the church premises of St Mary's Church Ariaria Aba, in Abia state.

According to an eyewitness, the three Hausa men are suspected to be Fulani herdsmen, however, they have been handed over to the police, stationed at Ariaria international market.

The names of these men were not made known, since the police men interrupted the questioning sections of the culprits by the Youths who caught them in the act.

The incident took place at exactly 7 pm today the 19th day of May 2018. This is an evidence to prove that the Hausa Fulani monsters have arrived our peaceful home to cause chaos.

In this Accord, we are warning all Biafrans to see reasons why they must be at alert especially in this period of time. The Hausa Fulani who have been parading the whole streets of Biafra have been proven to be with dangerous plans. They have come to do what they know best to do; that is, killing of innocent people.

Stay tuned for more details.........

Ugochinyere Onyechere reporting For Umuchiukwu Writers

The lawmaker representing Abia South senatorial district at the National Assembly, Enyinnaya Abaribe, a critic of President Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed that he is not afraid of speaking against Buhari because those who would return him to the Senate in 2019 are not from the North, neither are they in the Presidential Villa.

Recall that Abaribe had last month sparked an uproar in the upper legislative chamber when he declared that President Buhari was incompetent.

Following an excuse given by Buhari in London that the herdsmen on killing spree in Nigeria were allegedly trained by the late Libyan revolutionary leader, Muammar Gaddafi, Abaribe told his colleagues, “This validates my earlier position that the president has failed to take charge of the protection of lives and property across the country as enshrined in our constitution to be his primary responsibility. I, so make bold to say that the president is incompetent.”

Speaking lately in a local radio programme in Aba, the Abia South lawmaker said, “I fear nothing. The first thing they will say is you will not come back, but the people who will vote for me are from the South East and not from the North or inside the villa. The other thing is that they think they will investigate you and all that. Well, I don’t do contract and don’t engage in anything outside of my legitimate duties. You cannot hold me for engaging in fraud. EFCC cannot touch me.”

Abaribe further stated that the All Progressives Congress, APC-led government has thrown Nigeria into huge debts and questioned Buhari’s sincerity on the anti graft war. His words, “Buhari’s government came on the platform of deceit. They deceived Nigerians into thinking that they were coming as saviour and they made certain assertions that Nigerian believed.

“What we have are people who said, first, we are going to deal with the matter of security. Then, they couldn’t deal with it. When they found out they couldn’t, they turned around and said we have technically defeated Boko Haram. When they found that it couldn’t happen, all of a sudden, they stage-managed a kidnap, and suddenly, they released the people

“Within this period, we had the whole Benue Valley starting from Taraba to Nasarawa following the Benue River, attacked by unknown persons. People are being killed every day. The Senate has compiled a list of people who have been killed. Up to a thousand, two to three million people are away in the IDPs and we are not in a war.

“Our economy is suffering because of their bad policies. And once they failed, they said Nigeria was at the brink before we came. They are now telling us that within three years, we cannot undo the bad things that PDP did in 16 years.”

I know it may be hard to convince you, but let me try: Don’t kill the next
spider you see in your home.
Why? Because spiders are an important part of nature and our indoor ecosystem – as well as being fellow organisms in their own right.
People like to think of their dwellings as safely insulated from the outside world, but many types of spiders can be found inside.
Some are accidentally trapped, while others are short-term visitors. Some species even enjoy the great indoors, where they happily live out their lives and make more spiders. These arachnids are usually secretive, and almost all you meet are neither aggressive nor dangerous. And they may be providing services like eating pests – some even eat other spiders.

My colleagues and I conducted a visual survey of 50 North Carolina homes to inventory just which arthropods live under our roofs. Every single house we visited was home to spiders. The most common species we encountered were cobweb spiders and cellar spiders .

Both build webs where they lie in wait for prey to get caught. Cellar spiders sometimes leave their webs to hunt other spiders on their turf, mimicking prey to catch their cousins for dinner.
Although they are generalist predators, apt to eat anything they can catch, spiders regularly capture nuisance pests and even disease-carrying insects – for example, mosquitoes. There’s even a species of jumping spider that prefers to eat blood-filled mosquitoes in African homes. So killing a spider doesn’t just cost the arachnid its life, it may take an important predator out of your home.

It’s natural to fear spiders. They have lots of legs and almost all are venomous - though the majority of species have venom too weak to cause issues in humans, if their fangs can pierce our skin at all. Even
entomologists themselves can fall prey to arachnophobia . I know a few spider researchers who overcame their fear by observing and working with these fascinating creatures. If they can do it, so can you!
" Doctor Spider " - Dr Fiona Cross
An arachnologist’s story of growing up terrified of spiders but ultimately becoming fascinated by them.
Spiders are not out to get you and actually prefer to avoid humans; we are much more dangerous to them than vice versa. Bites from spiders are extremely rare . Although there are a few medically important species like widow spiders and recluses , even their bites are uncommon and rarely
cause serious issues .
If you truly can’t stand that spider in your house, apartment, garage, or wherever, instead of smashing it, try to capture it and release it outside. It’ll find somewhere else to go, and both parties will be happier with the outcome.
But if you can stomach it, it’s OK to have spiders in your home. In fact, it’s normal. And frankly, even if you don’t see them, they’ll still be there. So consider a live-and-let-live approach to the next spider you encounter.

This article was originally published on The Conversation .

"On the alleged insensitivity of Igbo leaders towards the plight of their kinsmen, the human right activist regretted that they have failed to maximise “a golden opportunity” provided by Nnamdi Kanu to negotiate a fair deal for the race. Emeruwa alleged that instead of leveraging on IPOB’s agitation as a bargaining power for a better share of the national patrimony, South East leaders and the political elite connived with the Federal Government to get rid of Kanu, who they considered a threat to their political future.

“They erroneously believed that Kanu would take the shine off them, and that is why instead of leveraging on the opportunity provided by IPOB Leader and Nnamdi Kanu to advance the Igbo cause, they saw Kanu as a threat and sabotaged him. It took only a man they thought was mad to galvanise Ndigbo without firing any shot. But Ohanaeze and Igbo Governors at the peak of the agitation betrayed that cause. They were quick to proscribe IPOB after their meeting in Enugu.

ONLY TRAITORS, QUISLINGS & COLLABORATORS WILL BE AT OHANEZE AWKA SUMMIT BUT THEY WILL NEVER GO UNPUNISHED

Careful observation reveals that the few corrupt people organising the Hausa Fulani sponsored Ohaneze Ndigbo Summit are those whose parents and grandparents collaborated with the British conquerors when they came into our land in the late 19th century.  We must remember that before the British colonized us they first conquered our land. The fathers of these modern collaborators were made servants at the homes of British colonial masters and Warrant Chiefs to serve white man's interest and enslave our people contrary to the traditions and culture that sustained our civilisation for over 5,000 years. These same group of inbred agents of the oppressor is at work in Ohaneze Ndigbo today.

When Arochukwu fell, the forebears of these modern day collaborators benefited and hurriedly attached themselves to White missionaries in order to help complete the subjugation of their own people. They became agents and informants for Nwa-DC or District Commissioner and in return were made clerks or Kotuma to the colonial courts. Therefore only those born into these families with long history of treachery and sabotage in their blood will attend the Aso Rock sponsored Ohaneze summit in Awka on Monday and they will pay a terrible price for it in the weeks and months ahead.

We shall  compile the names of all keynote speakers at the event to add to the register of all those that have over the years been betraying our people, especially the individuals that packaged and executed Operation Python Dance. Anybody seen delivering a speech at Awka will be deemed to have collaborated in the death of hundreds of IPOB members as a result of Operation Python Dance and will be a marked man. It's not a question of if but when they will pay for their treachery. They and their children, including those living abroad, will go down the same way they conspired and killed hundreds of IPOB family members.

When the time comes, there will no pity and no mercy for these traitors and their children. Whereas previous generations allowed these collaborators to live, IPOB will make sure they pay for their iniquities against the people. No sensible person will identify with Nnia Nwodo in Awka unless he or she is a sell-out like he is.

A so-called leader that collaborated with the oppressor to invade his land like Afonja did in Illorin that cost Yoruba people Kwara State till today is exactly who Nnia Nwodo is. Without Fulani soldiers Nnia Nwodo would never be in Awka in the first place not to talk of dreaming of holding a summit. But at least Monday the 21st of May 2018 will prove to the world that Nnia Nwodo is a puppet of the caliphate because Fulani not Igbo soldiers will come to protect him.

Neither Arewa Consultative Forum nor Afenifere ever boasted that Fulani army will protect them, which shows that they are widely accepted as the authentic mouthpiece of their people unlike Nnia Nwodo who is exclusively an agent of the North. History will record that in the year 2018, Hausa Fulani soldiers were invited by a supposed Igbo leader to give him protection in a public gathering in his own land. What an abomination.

This will forever seal the status of Nnia Nwodo as a slave of the Fulani caliphate. Nnia Nwodo's attempt to officially turn Igboland to Fulani Protectorate on May 21, 2018 will be publicly resisted by diehard IPOB. The spirit of victims of Operation Python Dance, killed with the active connivance of Ohaneze Ndigbo are watching us to see if we will let them down.

Isn't it shameful that Nnia Nwodo is going from house to house in Enugu begging our more respected elders to follow him to Awka, boasting that Fulani soldiers are coming to protect him.

To allow Ohaneze Ndigbo to hold this summit means we have surrendered Biafraland to Fulani caliphate forever and ever. On Monday Nnia Nwodo will rely on his Fulani masters from the Sahel to protect him as the Yoruba traitor Afonja did at Illorin but we IPOB own the land and rely on the people of Biafra through the grace of Chukwu Okike Abiama to protect us and our land from our oppressors and collaborators within.

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

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 Indigenous People Of Biafra, records another victory as Court grants Bail to Eight Biafran activist, detained in Aba Prisons.

Recall that massive number of Biafran activists were arrested on the 12th Of September 2017, in Aba and other South-East regions, following the Operation Python Dance declaration, by the Nigeria Army.
Elephantine number of activists were killed and bodies whisked away, some abducted for execution in unknown destinations and over Hundred detained in various Nigeria Prisons.

The Eight Biafran activists were amongst 55 detainees, abducted and arraigned in Magistrate Court Umuahia, where the accused were initially ordered to be remanded in Aba Prisons.
IPOB Legal Team   secured Bail in Magistrate Court on charges Bailable, whilst the Magistrate Court ordered that other baseless charges like Terrorism, Treasonable Felony, Kidnapping be taken to High Court, hence their Two production warrants.
The eight Biafran activists were granted Bail in the Two courts and conditions perfected, thus their release.

There was thunderous chants of Biafra Freedom songs, as the activists regains freedom. They appreciated the efforts of IPOB Legal Team and reaffirmed their support for Biafra restoration.

Ibeh Gift Amarachi reporting For Family Writers Press

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) rebukes Buhari and his Nigerian government for torturing and abducting Biafran Judaism worshippers who were celebrating the opening of United States of America (USA) Embassy in Jerusalem, Israel.

In a latest Press Release IPOB wrote:
The leadership and entire family members of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) condemn the abduction of 21 Shalom church members and other Christian denominations praying in the residence of IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by Nigerian murderous security operatives on Sunday morning.
The news was: “The Nigeria Security Agents Tortures and Abducts Jewish Worshippers in Nnamdi Kanu's Residence who came to pray at the compound on Sunday morning without any provocation”.
This is to alert the whole World that, the Jewish Worshippers praying in Afaraukwu Ibeku at IPOB Leader's residence, are currently undergoing severe torture from the Nigeria security agents at Central Police Station Umuahia and Zone 9 Force Headquarters Ehimiri Estate Ikot Ekpene Road Umuahia.
Some of the Jewish worshippers have been abducted and taken to unknown places, for easy execution.
The Nigeria Security agents, have declared war on Christians religious groups, IPOB activists once again, as a daring move against the warnings and US President Donald Trump's agreement made in Washington D.C with the Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari.
We are calling on men and women of good conscience, the US embassy and all civilised nations to see reasons to fight and stop these barbaric moves against the brazen Islamisation and religious intolerance in Nigeria. The unprovoked attack on this innocent worshippers, whose crime was to pray and spiritually sanctify the residence of IPOB Leader desecrated where the Nigeria Army and other security agencies killed and maimed over 28 innocent unarmed members of IPOB including the abduction of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu since last year September. This is to prove that APC Government led by Major General Muhammadu Buhari in conjunction with Okezie Ikpeazu have declared war on Christians and those suspected to be religious affiliation with IPOB leader.
We are holding Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu and the Edo born resident Commissioner of Police in Abia State responsible if anything happens to those abducted this morning. When payback time comes, the Fulani caliphate that is urging them on now, will not be there to save them.

COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB

Paul Ihechi Alagba,
Reporting For Family Writers Press.

Five reputable female IPOB diplomats has taken the evangelism for Biafra restoration project to a whole new level after attending a just concluded international conference organized by a department of University of Maryland, Baltimore County(UMBC), in United States of America; an event organized in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Nigeria-Biafra civil war.
The event which was held from
May 8 through 9 centered on the theme- "Women And The Nigeria-Biafra War: Reframing Gender And Conflict In Africa", had in attendance a good number of dignitaries and intellectuals drawn from varieties of professions.

Mrs Nnennaya Anya, Ogwu N., Amaka Ekwo, Nkiruka Nistoran and Josephine Erewa are the erudite IPOB women-delegates, who duly represented the Indigenous People of Biafra at the historic gathering.

"This international conference is to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the war and to highlight the cost of the conflict on Nigerian women, their participation in the hostilities, and their contributions to the survival of families, communities and the country... Thus, this international conference serves as an important platform to present and discuss women as embodiment of vulnerabilities and agency, active participants and survivors, who demonstrated remarkable resilience and initiative, waging war on all fronts in the face of precarious conditions and scarcities, and maximizing opportunities occasioned by the hostilities," a statement from UMBC's  official website reads.

The leader of the IPOB ambassadorial delegation, Mrs Nnennaya Anya expressed profound satisfaction with the aims and objectives of the conference, noting that the immense heroism of the women of Biafra during the war is one that should never be swept under the carpet.
"Our women were the real heroes during the war if you ask me. People tend to ignore them and that was why I requested  that the personal trauma they went through must be looked into and seriously.
"Even though our women  did not carry guns to fight,  they were the ones taking care of families left behind by our fathers and brothers. That alone on its own made them Heroines," Nnennaya Anya told Family Writers Press during an interview.

"By taking up the roll of men to some extent during the war, it did release women more and more from the sense that custom. training and tradition imposed on gender. Women tend to break away as they gradually found themselves playing the  double role of mothers and fathers as the same time.
"It Is important that whenever the experience of war is being researched, please lets not  forget  the effects of the war on our mothers. Are you aware that because of the trauma they had  from the effects of the war, most of our mothers are still having nightmares when ever they hear the sound of guns?  Our mothers should be allowed to talk about their experiences during the war, this will help them in the healing process," she said.

"It is the first of its kind by the Department of African Studies, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, 50years after the war," Mrs Nkiruka Nistoran, one of IPOB ambassadors revealed to Family Writers Press.
"They were remembering what happened during the war, to create awareness for the good people around the world to remember that this genocide has been committed against the people of Biafra, and still, what we're demanding is justice," Mrs Nkiruka stated.

It should be noted that from 1967 to 1970 Nigeria experienced a civil war that claimed the lives of about 6 million Biafrans, resulting from Nigeria government's desperation to stop Biafrans from seceding and establishing their own independent state.
One of the IPOB diplomats, Mrs Amaka Ekwo, who presented a compelling lecture at the international conference titled-  "LIVING WITH THE TRAUMAS OF WAR: TALES FROM THE WOMEN OF BIAFRA," believes that such symposium of international standard signifies that notable people of good conscience around the world are still sympathetic to the plight of Biafrans.
"These people, the international  community understands our pains, even though they may not be doing enough, but it is evident they understand what we're passing through,
"In this conference you find out that we have people from different areas of work, we have lawyers and so many others, like we came as representatives of IPOB," Amaka Ekwo told Family Writers Press.

She further highlighted the fact that just as her exposition espoused, there is indisputable evidence that the women of Biafra were subjected to all manner of inhumane treatments and conditions during the war, just as much as their male counterparts and children. According to Mrs Ekwo, the most painful and traumatic aspect of the 'genocidal' war is the fact that even decades after the war ended, the Nigeria government has unrepentantly stifled and muffled every move and voice that tends to recount the infamous bloody conflict.

"You cannot tell stories of the war without mentioning things like starvation, without mentioning rape, without mentioning war crimes, without mentioning genocide, and these are terrible crimes against humanity," she said.

"There is significant proof that our women are living with trauma, and such is known as posttraumatic disorder, that is, traumas associated with conflicts.
"The World Health Organization is a branch of the United Nations and they once created a policy that conference should follow to make sure that the issue of stress relating to war are addressed.
"The Nigeria government as you know does not respect the wellbeing of anybody, they're not interested in policy, they're not interested in rules and regulations, it is a lawless country.

"Part of healing and part of recovering from trauma is things that has to do with remembrance, allowing people to remember that they lost loved ones, allowing them to mourn, just like every other nation that has gone through war and lost people, annually remember them. And obviously you know that in IPOB, one of the setbacks we've encountered is that we are not even allowed to remember our dead. On the 30th of May 2016, we were hunted down by Nigeria security forces just because we're trying to remember the dead. It is unlawful, Nigeria should understand that people should be allowed to mourn the dead."

Meanwhile, speaking on the Biafra Heroes'/ Genocide Remembrance Day due to be observed across Biafra Land and beyond on May 30, the IPOB women ambassadors advised that Biafra women should not be found wanting, but should ensure that all their family members observe the day by sitting at home.
"The upcoming 'Heroes Remembrance Day', we want our women to fully participate. If you want to go to church, pray for the dead. Everyone should sit at home, everybody should bring out pictures of the dead, tell the stories to your family. Remember the names of your family members that died during the war, mention their names and tell their stories to little children that were not around during the war, tell them this is what happened during the war, give them every information about how we suffered during the war, light candles on the graves of the dead and pray for the souls of our departed ones," Amaka Ekwo admonished.


Our attention was this morning drawn to desperate strategies being put in place by some faceless prison official in Kuje prison at the command of the State to kill Benjamin Madubugwu, Bright Chimezie, and David Nwawuisi.
A distress call received from Benjamin Madubugwu vide Welfare Department office of Kuje prison this morning, called for immediate attention of the international community, United Nations, European Union and responsible international organizations.
From the account given over the telephone, Benjamin Madubugwu narrated to us how he and other two IPOB members (Bright CHIMEZIE and David Nwawuisi) has been singled out and consequently subjected to various forms of inhuman treatments and degradation.
Apart from violent raid and teargarssing of their cells by the agents of Federal Government, Benjamin Madubugwu was particularly beaten up, amidst servere injuries and bodily harms inflicted on him vide this unprovoked attack by lawless prison wardens led in aid by Arms Squad department, he has been transferred to a deadly cell where he now shares apartment with deadly members of Boko Haram convicts and other notorious violent criminals.
Benjamin Madubugwu was in the recent past diagonise of life threatening ailments which requires urgent advance medical attention overseas.
Following the intervention of the court, an order was made allowing him access to his personal Doctor.
Most shockingly, but very interesting to note that in a plot reasonably believed to have been orchestrated by agents of the State, his personal physician in the person of Dr. Ikechukwu Amadi who is administering improvise medical care on him was in a mysterious circumstance killed by persons believed to be working for the stare.
Dr Amadi has since the 27th day of April 2018 committed to mother earth in his home town at Udi in Enugu State while the real cause of his sudden but mysterious death is yet to be unravelled.
It's not unlikely that the state is seriously strategising on their next possible target. Mr Benjamin Madubugwu who is presently languishing in Kuje medium security prison since 2015 for offences he never committed has been refused bail severally on grounds and circumstances not sustainable under the extant laws, practise and procedures.
It is important to alert the world that Benjamin who had expressed fears of grand design by the paid scrupulous prison official to eminiate him at all cost and by any means, during his numerous appearance in court and during our private visit to him in Kuje prison may be counting his days on earth If no urgent step is taken by responsible international organizations, and commity of nations to call Nigerian Government to order.
It is on the stenght of this ugly development that we are inviting the International community, Transperancy International, President Trump and Israelite counterpart to immediately intervene.
This is a country where Government has no respect for the sanctity of Rules of Law.
Thank you.

Thank you President Donald Trump for having the courage to keep your promises and making the alliance between Isreal and America stronger than ever.
This is a great day for Isreal and a great day for America. I also believe it is a great day for TRUTH AND PEACE.
Truth and peace are interconnected, truth that was built on lies will crash under middle-eastern realities.
You can only build peace on truth and the truth is and has always been that Jerusalem is the capital of Jewish people and the capital of Jewish State.

The prophet Zechariah declared over 25 hundred years ago "So said the Lord! I will return Zion and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem and Jerusalem shall be called the city of TRUTH".

May the truth advance a lasting peace between Isreal and all our neighbours.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Nigeria and its ruler, Muhammadu Buhari went berserk yesterday, shooting to kill Biafran Jewish worshippers for celebrating the opening of United States of America (USA) Embassy in Jerusalem, Israel. As if that is not enough, many were arrested, and as the opening ceremony is going on, the Biafrans are in court being charged on trumped-up charges.
Without doubt, it is should be self-evident to everyone now that Buhari and his Nigeria do not only excessively hate Christians and Shiite Moslems, but that he also hates Jews and Israel with equal measure.
It started with the Nigerian Police’ gun-attack on Biafran Jewish community commencement of celebrations for the Embassy yesterday, Sunday, May 13. The Jewish community was so elated that they went to celebrate. The celebration was at the home of Nnamdi Kanu, the missing Biafran leader.
With hate and rage, the Police descended on the people; shot to kill to kill everything that moved. Miraculously no life was lost, even though many sustained injuries through the manhandling and brutalization of the people.
But since the people did not die, the Police abducted them and have today, Monday, May 14, 2018, arraigned them in court.
The Police was sent by Okezie Ikpeazu, the blackleg in Biafraland who is Buhari/Fulani plant to checkmate Biafrans’ move for independence. He has executed many Buhari/Fulani sinister plots against his own people since he assumed position as the rigged-in governor of Abia State. During the killing of Biafran Christian praying in a secondary at Aba, Abia State in 2015, Ikpeazu was complicit; and planned and laid down all the logistics for it. Also, when the Nigerian Army stormed the family house of Kanu to kill nothing less than 28 people, injuring many, Ikpeazu was known to have done all the spade-work with the Fulani invaders. Since that attack, Kanu and his parents have not been seen, with many believe that they have either been killed or are held in a hidden redemption camp.
However, one thing is certain, and that is that by the attack on the Jewish community yesterday, Buhari has completed the show of his hatred for the triad of Christianity, Shiite Muslims, and Jewish believers. He has, by doing so, shown that he is an endorser of Wahabbist Islamic fundamentalism being carried out by his Boko Haram boys, murderous Fulani herdsmen, and his Fulani led Nigerian Army.
The world must do something about this terrorist known as Muhammadu Buhari before he unleashes his bloodbath of Biafran people, which he has been planning since he was rigged into office by the satanic duo of Barrack Obama and David Cameron.

IT IS SACROSANCT AND NON-NEGOTIABLE, THE ZOO CAN GO AND HUG TRANSFORMER FOR ALL I CARE.

The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership citizen Nnamdi Kanu the Director of Radio Biafra/Biafra TV is using this opportunity to call on the good conscience of the world, lovers of freedom, friends of Biafra all over the world to observe a moment of silence for the great heroes and heroines who paid the ultimate price for the freedom of our people. They died so that we can live and restore the ancient city of Biafra. Their death will never be in vain.

The 6.2 million of Biafran children, adult, Youths etc who were massacred on the bitter civil war between 1967-1970 will never be swept under the carpet. The Harold Wilson Syndrome (HWS) the prime minister of British empire during the war will never be swept under the carpet. Harold Wilson Syndromes are the reasons why millions of Biafran children died. Genocide was committed against our people. Innocent souls were massacred unjustly on the streets, villages, market places, churches etc.

The spirit of our dead heroes and heroines are crying for justice to be done. Since after the bitter civil war which lasted for about 3 years, these millions killed were forgotten and history was not documented and taught in schools.

History was banned in Nigeria educational sectors in the bid to the hide the atrocities committed against the great Biafran people. Many of us grew without knowing the millions killed in 1967-1970 Nigeria /Biafra was actually the Biafran people. They hide everything so they could continue massacring the Indigenous people. There was a total media blockade against the Biafran people. Those killed by the Fulani herdsmen must be remembered come 30th May 2018.

We are here to ensure that the death of 3.5 million people is not forgotten. It is to them that I owe every heart of loyalty and obligation. They are not here to offer any advice or to ask us to forgive Gowon. They are not here to ask us to forgive Haruna. They are not here to ask us to forgive the Yoruba people and Awolowo family. The reason why we exist is to ensure that their memory that they can never ever be forgotten.

That their memory will linger on forever, that as long as man walk this earth this world would remember the 3.5 million people that they killed. Men and women that did nothing, children that were innocent. Their only crime is to be blessed by God; that is the only crime they have committed. As those children were being slaughtered, as they were being starved to death by a very wicked and cruel world, spearheaded by Awolowo, everybody looked on and did nothing. Instead of them to help us, they ensured that our absolute blockade from land, air and sea was absolute.

That we may die, that the children of God may die; but lo and behold, Chukwu-Abiama determined that we cannot die; that we cannot perish; because we are his own. Despite all our iniquities, despite all our sins, He made us in his Image.

We are using this opportunity to call on the good conscience of the World. Biafrans all over the world must protest on the streets on London, USA, Japan, North Carolina, North Korean, South America, South Africa, Ghana, Ivory coast, Germany, Italy, Spain, India, Chile, Mexico, etc everywhere IPOB is registered all over the world to match on the street and honour this great heroes and heroines who indeed paid the ultimate price for us to live. The protest is for only those outside Biafra land.

Biafrans in Biafraland must observe a SIT-AT-HOME come this 30th May 2018. All enterprises must shutdown every activity come that 30th May. All schools in Biafra land is advised to shut down that very day in honour of our great heroes and heroines. Banks, Traders, Road Sellers, Super markets, etc must shutdown, SIT-AT-HOME, no movement that very day. Remember they were massacred unjustly. We must remember them until the end of the world. May Chukwu Okike bless Biafra and nourish everyone. Biafra must be restored iseeee (So shall it be).

It has now very clearly gone beyond speculations and skepticisms that the Nigerian government has openly declared a very subtle and systematic war against Biafran industrialists in Nigeria. Captains of industries of Biafran extraction should jointly take hold of the opportunity the prevailing economic persecutions from the government of Nigeria has provided and unequivocally declare their support for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide in the quest for Biafra restoration. Obviously, Biafran industrialists can no more successfully carry out their businesses in Nigeria as there exists presently, a well organized sinister agenda skewed against their progress. And here now comes the urgency for them to have a wholesome rethink about their involvement in a regressive one- Nigeria and align forces with the IPOB family globally, for the freedom and restoration of Biafraland wherein lie their security, progress and future. This they should immediately do to strongly salvage the industries, companies and other related small scale businesses whether domiciled in Biafraland or in the diaspora, from the liquidation intent of the Nigerian government and agents, following a well articulated plan of action, wrapped in various bizarre policies of political vendetta.

The season has dawned for Biafran industrialists and captains of industries such as:

(1) Chief Dr. Innocent Chukwuma (Chief Executive Officer), Innoson Group of Companies,

(2) Chief Dr. Chika Okafor (Chief Executive Officer), Chikason Group of Companies,

(3) Dr. Ifeanyi Patrick Ubah (Chief Executive Officer), Capitol Oil and Gas Limited,

(4) Chief Cletus Ibeto (Chief Executive Officer), Ibeto Group of Companies,

(5) Chief Sir Emeka Offor amongst many others, to unite and map out modalities for survival, having the following revolutionary questions in focus, viz:

* For how long do we have to remain concerned and watch the very essence of the survival of our industries go down the drain through the adverse policies of the Nigerian government?

* What further catalyst do we need to declare our alignment with the IPOB leadership to fast track the restoration drive for the sovereignty of the nation of Biafra?

It is expedient therefore, for these chain of successful Biafran industrialists and industrial captains to note that inasmuch as the Biafra restoration struggle needs the unflinching support of all Biafrans classes notwithstanding, one thing is indisputably very certain. BIAFRA must be restored, no matter who is involved or not. They should know too that they stand to gain enormously settling down in a restored Biafra, away from the unrelenting economic terrorism targeted against them and their businesses by the Nigerian government. It should be clearly stated here that a Biafran, to the Nigerian government and it's agents, is a potential member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), with the likes of Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Governor Dave Umahi, Governor Nyesom Wike, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, His Royal Highness Professor Chike Edoziem (Asagba of Asaba) and Professor (Justice) Chile Eboe Osuji (New President of International Criminal Court).

The earlier the understanding of this brazen truth and the intrigues behind the ongoing shutdown of Biafran-owned industries, by these seemingly myopic Biafran industrialists, the better. This raging hurricane is gradually encroaching on their domain one after the other. Continuously playing the ostrich in the face of glaring realities and danger is to say the least, most unfortunate. Joining the IPOB family now is the only panacea needed before it gets belated.

Sometimes ago, the Ibeto Ceement, Capitol Oil & Gas and recently, Innoson Motors Nigeria Limited, were respectively prowled on by economic predators while all other industrialists remained negligent  because they felt safe and secured. Presently, the terroristic oppression has visited Emzor Pharmaceutical Company and many other Biafran industrialists have remained unconcerned. Who can predict whose turn it is next in their card of vendetta? Perhaps, Chikason Group of Companies or Coscharis. The industrialists should know that it is better to die a hero fighting for freedom rather than be waiting for the day of your company's liquidation or the Chief Executive Officer disgracefully arrested/incarcerated under the weight of economic persecution. It is exceptionally honorable to suffer persecution as a Biafran, suspectedly sympathetic to the struggle for the Biafra restoration.

If after the whole treachery and sabotage most of you got involved with, against the freedom and restoration efforts, the Nigerian government still descends on you on the basis of mere suspicion that you are sympathetic to the Biafra struggle, you are then adjudged the most miserable of all men.

The industrialists should understand that the Nigerian government hate their progress and survival passionately. It is therefore required of them to reasonably pitch their tents with the families of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) closely located, for it is in the total restoration of the nation of Biafra that they and their businesses will find solace. They have to retrace their steps and purposefully do the needful. Our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had repeatedly and pointedly stated to the hearing of all that: "Any Biafran who serves Nigeria against Biafra interests, must surely come back home in shame".

One popular Igbo adage says that: "if an elderly woman falls two to three times on the way, she has to definitely count if what she is carrying on her head is really intact".

Let the wise read with understanding!

Awka- THE Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, vowed Sunday that the proposed Igbo summit scheduled to take place in Awka on May 21st, 2018 would never hold, threatening that such a gathering could take place only if the heaven fell.

A statement by the IPOB media and publicity secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, who described the summit as an avenue to advance the argument on the restructuring of Nigeria, called IPOB members to storm the venue of the summit from the midnight of May 20th for the purpose of scuttling the summit.

The statement read: “May 21st, 2018 is the D-Day the leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo has slated to kill Biafrans once again in our land. “The President General of Ohaneze, Chief Nnia Nwodo has managed to convince himself and some Igbo politicians into using their restructuring Nigeria summit as a cover to further enslave our people for another 100 years. “These are the same people who instigated Operation Python Dance II that led to the murder of hundreds of IPOB youths, due to their hatred for Biafra and everything Nnamdi Kanu stood for. They cannot be allowed to celebrate their betrayal of our freedom using the cover of a summit. “IPOB had since warned Ohaneze not to bring the one Nigeria summit to the heartland of Biafra, but it has remained adamant.

The only way this summit can hold is unless the heaven falls on 21st of May. “It seems Ohaneze Ndigbo does not understand the language of liberty and we shall meet them head-on in Awka on the 21st at Ekwueme Square. They should bring enough squadron of their soldiers as always to provide them protection and kill us all because the summit will not hold. “We are urging all IPOB families to mobilize to storm not just Ekwueme Square, but to saturate the whole of Anambra State and Awka from all directions on 21st of May, 2018. Awka will be occupied from midnight of the 20th of May to 5pm on the 21st.

“It is clear that other ethnic nationalities have observed and realized that there is no hope left in the crumbling corrupt colonial edifice known as Nigeria, but Ohaneze Ndigbo as always, has chosen the way of self-centered politics like late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe in pushing on with the perverse notion of sustaining the same one Nigeria that is responsible for the death of millions of our people. “The same mistakes of the past are being repeated by Nnia Nwodo and his gang. Azikiwe’s politics of one Nigeria is what put us in the mess we are in today.

We have been reduced to lower than fourth class citizens, hated and despised by all, for no other reason than our God-given hard work ethic and ingenuity. “We, the IPOB family members, cannot afford to allow the future of unborn generations to be mortgaged. “Ohaneze Ndigbo and its leadership are at liberty to conduct their restructuring and preservation of one Nigeria with their children in Lagos, Abuja or Kaduna and not anywhere on Biafran soil.”

The Indigenous People Of Biafra, visited the Family of a killed Biafra activist Late Ifesinachi Agbayisi in their Aba residence, to accord the needed support for the grieved Family.

Late Mazi Ifesinachi Agbayisi was killed by the Nigeria Army on the 12th of September 2017, following the declaration of operation Python dance.
His death was and still remains a heart piercing one, as he was tortured until his heart stopped beating.
The diseased victim, was beaten to pulp, forced to drink from muddy water and shot in the leg. The close range shot shattered his blood vessels and he was abandoned in the muddy water, to bleed to death, without medical attention.

The killed Biafran activist is survived by, a Wife and Three Children(A Teenage daughter and Two Boys).
His Young Wife was forced into Widowhood, while the Children made Fatherless, with indemnity and no form of apology by the Nigeria Government.

IPOB Leadership representatives who went on the visit, financially accorded needs listed by the Family of the diseased Biafran activist;
The School Fees of the Three Kids, House Rent and Feeding bills, were all footed.
The Indigenous People Of Biafra did not stop there, but vowed to start up a business for the Widow and support their wellbeing frequently.

Mrs Abayisi and Children who are currently living with her aged Mother and Father, was so excited having received financial support from IPOB.
Her aged Parents also appreciated the immense efforts and benevolence of IPOB and in the widows aged Father's voice "Biafra Must Come. No One Can Stop The Restoration Of Biafra".

The  Biafra Heroes' Day of Monday 30th May, 2016 at Onitsha will remain indelible in the hearts of the Indigenous People of Biafra. The residents of Nkpor Agu town and the adjourning communities have not fully recovered from the shock it sent down their spines. It was, perhaps the darkest ever experienced in the Biafran struggle since the illegal abduction and incarceration of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Biafran leader .

Prior to that fateful day, multitude of Biafrans converged at the venue for the memorial.  At midnight, on the very eve of the D-day, soldiers from the 33 battalion Onitsha invaded the famous St. Edmund's Catholic church where thousands of Biafrans had assembled to keep vigil. They forcefully broke into the church, spraying cannisters into the auditorium and shooting sporadically on the unarmed Biafrans. So many people died as a result of that while several others were permanently injured.
As if that was not enough, the shooting continued again in the morning. Biafrans regrouped to match in honour of our fallen heroes. More truckloads of soldiers stormed the town, spraying live ammunitions everywhere, at the same time made away with the dead bodies of Biafran youths to a nearby barrack.  Men and women were arrested and taken to unknown destinations including the residents of the town. Cans of acid were poured on would-have-been survivors who ended up dying as a result. This could be to cover up the identity of the victims. There were also those buried alive for the same purpose of identity cover up. It was a horrific and unforgettable experience.

The unwarranted kidnap, torture and incarceration of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on the 14th October, 2015 sparked  peaceful protest worldwide.  Biafrans gathered, praying for his unconditional release at Ngwa High School. They were rounded up by the 144 battalion, Asa and massacred in cold blood to the amazement of the whole world. Those abducted alive were later found dead dumped in shallow graves near the barracks with their bodies decimated with acidic substances.

In Asaba, Yenagoa, Enugu, Igweocha, Awka and Calabar the casualties were unimaginable. Again, Biafra land flowed with the blood of innocent helpless Biafrans killed by the Nigerian soldiers at the command of Muhammadu  Buhari on the 20th January, 2017. The people came out in a rally to celebrate with the United States during the inauguration of  Donald Trump, the President of America. They were brutally killed, more than 20 corpses slain by the soldiers from 6DIV Port Harcourt Barracks littered the ever busy Aba road, while over 65 persons were arrested and detained in wield  cells.

These are few of the many reasons why we mourn. It is understandable that our kiths and kin have been gruesomely massacred in Nigeria for nothing other than asking for freedom. Freedom has become a crime in a lawless country like Nigeria such that if one mentions it, he is killed within a twinkle of an eye. In spite of all these, we are still resolute and formidable in our quest to restore Biafra.  Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra and the arrow head of the Biafran struggle has eventually united our clans and people, emancipated our generation from mental slavery, exposed our historical background and laid bare all the atrocities melted out on us all these years. We struck our chests and without any equivocation chose freedom and self determination. The brilliant successes already recorded in our quest to restore Biafra, regain our lost identity, is resounding all over the universe.

These significant victories guaranteed IPOB as a legitimate group, people with same core value system. The independence and freedom of the Biafran people cannot be over emphasized. It is indelibly written in the conscience of humanity, sustained by the labour, sweat and blood of our gallant heroes and heroines. They proved fearless before our enemies, surrendered their lives and made tremendous sacrifices for us.

Hence, the struggle continues and every year we meditate on the remarkable sacrifices made by our fallen heroes. This year's hero's day is here again. Like last year, we will show in sober reflection that their blood shall never be shed in vain. We make reference to the genocide committed against our people between 1967-1970, in which over 3.6 million Biafran men, women and children were horrendously killed, mostly through starvation.

The joy of it is that IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu have sounded and awaken the spirit of Biafra that our forefathers nurtured through selfless sacrifices. So, on this occasion of BIAFRA HEROES' DAY, we mourn and cogitate on the sacrifices made by our fallen compatriots. All the Indigenous People of Biafra at home and diaspora need to be optimistic on the outcome of our struggle. The fight has just begun, it may seem uneasy but at the end we win. We have been urged by IPOB leadership to " Sit at Home "and reflect on the sacrifices made by our  heroes and heroines in Biafra land; while our brothers and sisters from different parts of the country will come out enmass to tell the world why we mourn. For Biafrans worldwide, this is a very important event marked yearly. Again, this year we are here, to mourn our fallen heroes and heroines who fought that we may live and have peace .

Oh! How awesome is the Creator of the Universe that he placed every creature in a particular geographical location to serve the full purpose of their creation.

To some, he placed in the hinterland, some in the valley, some on the plain lands whereas some on the desert, still some, he made to occupy the mountains.

Despite the allotments, he ensured that he barricaded all the earth with a natural bulwark such as seas, mountains, and valleys that can't be altered in ease.

He made the hemispheres in such a manner that every one ought not to have conflict with its neighbours. He gave the inhabitants of each hemisphere a distinctive feature and way of life to differentiate one from the other so as to keep the universe at peace.

These he took time to arrange because he perfectly understands that mixing all the inhabitants of the earth together will spell doom to his purpose of creation but lo and behold, the British colonialists said otherwise thereby setting out an unending war and destruction of lives and properties in the western hemisphere of Africa (Nigeria) where they still maintain their colonial rule even after independence in 1960.

Prior to the assortment of the West African territories in 18th Century by the British colonialist Fredrick J. D. Lugard and the annexation of Lagos as a crown colony in 1861, in a bid to remain a Lord over the land and to expand their business interests all over the region now known as Nigeria, after conquering the north which was a separate territory from the south in 19th century. The south and north which had lived peacefully without any interference from each other since creation was amalgamated in 1914 as one entity but due to high cultural and religious differences amongst the duo, the amalgamation can best be described euphemistically as mixing of oil and water thereby leaving the country to wallow in its sorry state.

Since after the amalgamation of 1914, the South have done everything possible within their disposal to be accommodative to their northern counterpart, but it seems that the more the southerners try to keep Nigeria as a country, the more their blood is used to wash the alter of the country.

In 1967, few years after the independence of Nigeria in 1960, there ensued a war between the south which are predominantly Christians and the north which are mainly Muslims. The war was targeted on exterminating all the Christians of the south as there was a massive pogrom which engulfed over thirty thousand (30,000) lives of the southern people whom were residing in the northern (Kano) part of Nigeria.

Feeling insecure in the new nation after so many attempts to restore peace in the country failed woefully, the then people's general Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was left with no other option than to take a bold step to ensure the safety of his people who were entrapped, marginalized and killed on a daily basis by their northern counterpart and declared a separate entity called Biafra on 30th May 1967.

The defunct nation (Biafra) was matched down with war of aggression by the Nigerian state on 6th July 1967 barely three months after the birth of the new nation.

This singular act of the Nigerian state sponsored by the British government to forcefully kill the new nation (Biafra), necessitated the people of the South to stand in defense for their safe zone and stand up for their freedom.

As the war later came to an end on 15th January 1970 after over 3 million Biafrans, including women and children, were gruesomely massacred, using hunger as a weapon of warfare by the Nigerian government, a press statement of NO VICTOR, NO VANQUISHED was declared by General Yakubu Gowon, the then Nigeria military Head of State before the re-annexation of the carved out region of Biafra into Nigeria.

Barely 50 years after the civil war, the Nigerian government reverted back to high marginalization and killing of the southeastern people which propelled the youths to stand up for their freedom once again in a democratic manner under the umbrella of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) whose onus is to propel the Nigerian government to find a lasting solution to the incessant killing of the people of the old eastern region by their northern counterpart in Nigeria by allowing for a peaceful and democratic process of disintegrating the Nigerian state through referendum which will allow the people to choose their fate in Nigeria.

Sequel to the IPOB demand for freedom which the youths stood up for, the Nigerian government under the leadership of Rt. Gen Muhammadu Buhari have once again as it were during the war of 1967, matched against the desire of the people for freedom with bullets and war machines which have taken over five thousand lives of unarmed peaceful protesting youths of IPOB since August 2015-2018.

It is a known fact that since the amalgamation of the northern protectorate and the south which formed the Nigerian state, the southeastern people have been naturally saddled with the onus to keep the country one and have represented the country in an exceptional way to the outside world yet all they could receive in appreciation is brutal killing and destruction of the sources of their livelihood by their northern counterparts and the government yet the north wouldn't let go off them rather they prefer clinching unto them like a parasite that is prone to death when detached from its host.

It is worth commending the freedom fighters of this 21st century in Nigeria under the aegis of IPOB for despite been peaceful in all their activities and been gunned down by the Nigerian military and police forces respectively on each activity they embark upon to sensitize the people, they still remain resolute and undeterred. Your courage is being saluted all over the universe.

As the day to commemorate the sacrifices of our fallen heroes and heroines approaches, the world is still in anticipation of your high resoluteness as the blood they shed in Biafra are set to liberate the land of the rising sun in no distant time.

All hail the Land of the Rising Sun!

#IPOB Brazil invites all Biafrans and people of good conscience to our 30th May Heroes and Heroines Remembrance Day.

In memory of over 3.5 million Biafrans killed during "The Biafran genocide"(1967-1970) and over 5000 IPOB members massacred: including those killed by Fulani herdsmen in various places, On the 30th day of May 2018, we shall remember them.


 
THE lawyer of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Bar. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has said that Nigeria has expired and nothing will make Nnamdi Kanu go into politics. He made this known in an interview with ‘Wazobia Fm’ saying that ”Nnamdi Kanu is Biafra and Biafra is Nnamdi.” His words: “Let me make this clear now, nothing will make Nnamdi kanu to go into politics, Nnamdi Kanu is Biafra and Biafra is Nnamdi Kanu.

“The thing he believes in nobody will change it, he said it to me, he is my friend. Secondly, court demanded that he should come with one senator from his place, and you know that Kanu is loved by everybody, even if the court demands 100 senators for his bail, you will see people from his side struggling to sign for him. “Enyinnaya Abaribe agreed to sign for his bail and you know it is a matter of life and freedom, he signed for him. “ Enyinnaya Abaribe’s signatory to Kanu’s bail does not mean that Kanu has a political affiliation attached to it.” Nnamdi Kanu and other co-defendants in court Explaining the unplanned meeting of Nnamdi Kanu and Sen. Ike Ekweremmadu’s allegation against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, coming after him, Bar. Ejiofor said: “Now that Kanu is out, he saw the importance of going to thank Abaribe for his assistance in fulfilling his bail conditions. So, as he went there he met Sen. Ekweremadu and other South East senators that came to Abaribe’s house. “As we left, Sen. Ekweremmadu raised an alarm, because Nnamdi Kanu came to the house and met him, EFCC are finding a way to punish him, probably insinuating that he is assisting Kanu, thus attaching politics to what Kanu is doing.

“Let me state it clearly and unequivocally, Nnamdi Kanu is not a politician, he is not doing politics with the Biafra project and the cause he believed in nobody can change it, that’s the simple truth. “The fact that EFCC is seeking for Ekweremmadu is unknown to me, not till he raised an alarm on the 6th of May, perhaps made them denial it and said that they did not plant anything in his house. But the most important thing I want to tell you now is that Kanu is not doing any politics with the Biafra project.” Asked if these Senators were supporting Kanu prior to his detention or just started now, he said: “Well, you know it is possible. If court did not request for a senator, nobody will hear about them. But they sometimes urged the federal government to release Kanu and obey the court order.” Asked the role British played since Kanu was arrested, the lawyer said: “

The truth is that since he was arrested, detained, granted bail and FG refused to obey court order, the British government has been sending a delegation to the court and equally going to the prison to see him. “Any time we go to the court they come from their embassy to the court and follow the proceedings. Even when tear gas was released in his prison, I wrote to them, FG and many other people, they just took records of what is happening,”he said. On the ownership of Radio Biafra Ejiofor, said “Radio Biafra in London is owned by IPOB, registered just like we have BBC in London and Kanu coming to Nigeria is just to tell you that he had nothing against anybody, he did not plan any evil against the Federal Government yet they arrested him. “I want to come to Nigeria and see my family, friends and my people. Anyone who is planning a coup will he announce it? Someone who wants to take over government, will he announce it? Someone who wants to mobilise people to take over government will he announce it? “He announced it on air via Radio Biafra that he wants to go home and see his people in Nigeria and his family members. After announcing it, he came back and they arrested him.” On comments that the government had made Nnamdi Kanu a hero, he said: “It’s true and that is the more reason now that Kanu is strongly saying that Federal government should conduct a referendum.

Let them put the Senate process that will guarantee a fair conduct of the referendum, so that Biafra people will determine if they want to separate from Nigeria or not. “It is not a fight, we are not fighting anybody, it is a peaceful agitation in process without weapon. IPOB people are harmless, they don’t fight anybody and anybody has the right to self determination as contained in our constitution, we do not fight anybody.”

On calls for restructuring Nigeria, Ejiofor said: “Nigeria has expired. What is happening in the country today is obvious that we have problem, let’s tell ourselves the truth. It’s time for us to come together and discuss if we are going to stay together or not. We are not for fight, it’s time for us to come back and negotiate if we are telling ourselves the truth and let’s stop hiding the truth from people

 Syrian army on Tuesday night intercepted two Israeli missiles fired towards a district near Damascus, Syria's official SANA news agency said, but a monitor said nine pro-government fighters died in the strike.

According to SANA, "anti-aircraft defences intercepted two Israeli missiles launched against (the district of) Kissweh and destroyed them".

The agency had earlier reported "explosions" in the southern suburb, while Syrian state television broadcast images of fires in the area targeted by the strikes.

Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told AFP that the missiles had targeted a weapons depot in Kissweh, "presumably belonging to Hezbollah and the Iranians".

Abdel Rahman said the strike had killed at least nine pro-government fighters, "including members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and other pro-Iranian Shiite militiamen", but it was not possible to independently confirm any toll.

This is not the first time that the area in the southwest of Damascus has been targeted. In December, Israel reportedly bombed military positions in Kissweh, including a weapons depot.

On Tuesday night, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he "fully supports" the United States' withdrawal from a multinational nuclear deal with Iran.

His statement came as the Israeli-occupied section of the Golan Heights was placed on high alert due to "irregular activity by Iranian forces" across the demarcation line in Syria.

In recent years, particularly since 2017, Israel has carried out numerous strikes in Syria against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad and his ally, the Lebanese Hezbollah militia.

On April 9 missiles targeted the T-4 air base in the central province of Homs, killing up to 14 fighters, including seven Iranians, two days after an alleged chemical attack carried out by the Syrian regime.

The air base was also targeted by Israel in February.

On April 29, at least 26 mostly Iranian fighters were killed by missiles fired on regime military positions, according to the Observatory.

The strikes, "probably Israeli", targeted a military airport in Aleppo in the country's north and Brigade 47 in Hama, where Iranian forces are stationed, the Observatory said.

Occasional clashes have erupted between Israel and the Syrian regime and its Hezbollah ally in the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel since 1967.

Israel is concerned that Iran and Hezbollah are embedding forces along its border.

In an interview late last month, Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman vowed to strike at any attempt by Iran to establish a "military foothold" in Syria.

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Wednesday urged people of the Middle Belt region and other states that have witnessed mindless killings to join its members in observing the May 2018 sit-at-home order.

IPOB said observing the sit-at-home order was a way of drawing the attention of the international communities to the killings allegedly perpetrated by herdsmen.

The pro-Biafra group stated that it is only by gaining the attention of the international communities that “these marauding Fulani terrorists be contained and defeated.”

IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful said, in a statement, that the sit-at-home order should be observed because “Armageddon is coming and a coalition of the brave must come together to rise up to confront the evil from the Sahel”.

The statement reads in part: “All affected communities in the Middle Belt and other Fulani herdsmen besieged entities in 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.”

IPOB also accused the Ohanaeze Ndigbo of sabotaging its efforts to stop the killings of Christians and Igbos residing in the North and Middle Belt regions.

“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,” the statement added.



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 entities in 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 otger 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.
