BIAFRANS TO INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY: WADE INTO NIGERIA/BIAFRA ISSUE NOW BEFORE IT WILL BE TOO LATE

As Biafra agitation and calls for Biafra referendum gathers momentum everyday and being discussed everywhere in the world, instead of Nigeria government to toe the path of peaceful resolution of the lingering issue by organizing a referendum for Biafra, it is rather threatening the agitators with fire and brimstone as against the modern world of civilization. Nigeria government was rather using the final phase of its propaganda on IPOB by describing the people as terrorists whereas IPOB has never killed even a fly in the journey of the struggle. Nigeria government has declared a sectional war against the people of Biafra by ordering her armed forces (Army, Airforce, Navy and Police) to crush members of IPOB and their suppoters anywhere they are sighted within and outside Biafraland.
It is upon this looming genocide targeted on Biafrans by Nigeria government that Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the supreme command of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to as a matter of urgency bring it to the notice of International Community that Nigeria government has decided to resume in the senseless massacre of Biafrans as contained in the Buhari's matching order to the armed forces. It is time for the world to break silence on the matter concerning the call for Biafra referendum so that to avoid the pending massacre of Biafrans which is the next step of Nigeria government in a time when the world is ernestly expecting her to announce the long awaited date for Biafra referendum. IPOB is making the United Nations, European Union, Africa Union, ECOWAS and influential government of nations in the world to understand that it is better to compel Nigeria government to organize Biafra referendum now when the tension is high in Nigeria than risking the lives of your staff and relief workers while sending them to IDPs in Nigeria should arm conflict results in the Biafra agitation due to deafening silence of International Community at the moment. The world has kept mute for too long over the issue of Biafra referendum and that is aiding Nigeria government in committing all sorts of crime and human right abuse against Biafrans in the face of the agitation.
It is time to invite all the both local and international human right organizations all over the world such as Amnesty International and Intersociety to be on ground anywhere IPOB conduct its referendum rallies in Biafraland and mount an eagle-eye guards so that to tell world what Nigeria Army, Air-force, Navy and Police will begin to do against unarmed Biafran. Let no organization depend on Nigeria media for update on what is going on in because Nigeria government has declared an open war against IPOB with a strict order that no media outlet in Nigeria will report anything about Biafra any more.
However, IPOB is making the world to know that no amount of threats and propaganda from Nigeria government or any organization which it sponsored to do so can make IPOB to drop the vehement resolve that Biafra referendum must be conducted as soon as possible. Biafrans have unanimously resolved that if Nigeria government fail to organize Biafra referendum from now to October 1, 2017, Nigeria government will no longer enjoy respect as a federal government anywhere in Biafraland. That is why Biafrans will no more participate in any election to be organized in Biafraland by Nigeria government. As it is at the moment, the world is expecting Nigeria government to announce date for Biafra referendum whereas Nigeria government is busy issuing useless threats against Biafrans. It is important for the world to make haste and avert the genocide which Nigeria government is planning to visit on Biafrans by compelling Nigeria government to organize referendum as soon as possible. Biafrans are not calling for war but have come in peace in their vehement resolve to restored their god-given nation of Biafra.
Should Nigeria government organize referendum for Biafra, the tension in the land will reduce to insignificance. If they vote to stay in Nigeria, so be it, but if they vote to exit with Biafra, so be it as well. I rest my case!
