Persistence Amidst Challenges: The Insurmountable And Formidable Spirit of IPOB

 Persistence Amidst Challenges: The Insurmountable And Formidable Spirit of IPOB



The Nigerian government has been working nonstop to weaken and discredit the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), but they have persevered while growing in power and influence. IPOB has come a long way from her modest beginnings, showcasing perseverance in the face of multiple adversity and unflinching dedication to purpose. The movement’s resilience in the face of official criticism and attempts to damage her reputation says a lot about her foundational commitment and honesty.


For many people, IPOB has represented resistance and hope since her founding. Under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s direction, the movement has maintained an unwavering commitment to non-violence and self-determination. She has thrived both locally and internationally in spite of the many obstacles it has encountered, such as the absence of her leader owing to Nigeria government’s abduction, extraordinary rendition and protracted torture. This impressive expansion demonstrates the movement’s capacity to mobilize supporters and uphold essential principles in the face of obstacles – manufactured and/or real.


Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s statement that IPOB is “whiter than snow” demonstrates the movement’s dedication to openness, morality, and decency. This metaphor emphasizes the movement’s attempts to project an image of purity and innocence despite harsh criticism and unfounded allegations. IPOB stands distinct from many other groups under comparable constraints because of her restraint and unwillingness to participate in violent acts. A testament to ideological dedication.


The Nigerian government has employed various tactics in their futile attempts to discredit and dismantle IPOB. One of the most persistent strategies has been to falsely associate the Biafra Restoration Project with criminal activities. Despite numerous allegations, no member of the movement has ever been convicted of a crime, a testament to the movement’s commitment to lawful conduct.


For instance, on multiple occasions, the Nigerian government claimed to have jammed Radio Biafra, IPOB’s primary medium for disseminating information and rallying support. On October 16, 2017, the Nigerian government announced that it had successfully jammed Radio Biafra’s broadcasts. Despite this claim, Radio Biafra continued to operate, highlighting the government’s failure to suppress the movement’s voice. Similarly, on February 22, 2018, the government again declared that it had disrupted the radio station’s transmissions. Yet, Radio Biafra remained accessible to its global audience, defying the government’s efforts to silence it.


These attempts to jam Radio Biafra not only failed but also underscored the movement’s resilience. Despite spending substantial resources—estimated in the billions of dollars—to disrupt the radio station, the Nigerian government was unable to achieve its objective. This failure illustrates the strength and effectiveness of IPOB’s communication network and her ability to circumvent government efforts to stifle important messages from reaching esteemed audience.


The Nigerian government has also been known to attribute crimes committed by various miscreants in the Southeast region to IPOB, often without evidence. These allegations are part of a broader strategy to paint the movement as a violent and disruptive force, thereby justifying harsher measures against the members. However, these claims have consistently proven to be unfounded.


For example, in the wake of sporadic violence in the Southeast, the government and media outlets frequently attribute such incidents to IPOB, despite the lack of credible evidence linking the movement to these acts. This pattern of baseless accusations aims to tarnish the movement’s reputation and diminish her support base. Yet, the unalloyed adherence to the principles of non-violence and self-determination remains clear, and no substantial proof has emerged to substantiate the government’s claims.


At the core of movement’s resilience is the existence of truth and integrity engraved in her sturdy foundation. The movement operates within a framework of ethical principles and holds firm to an immutable belief in justice and righteousness. This commitment is reflected in the way she addresses false accusations and continues to advocate for the self-determination cause through peaceful means.


The movement’s activities and leadership are guided by the principles of truthfulness and respect for human rights. A refusal to engage in and total rejection of violence, despite provocations and severe repression, is representative of dedication to planned goals. This adherence to truth and non-violence is central to IPOB’s identity and has been a key factor in endurance and growth, even in the face of adversity.


The movement's adherence to the founding principles and the upward curve in growth amidst adversity are often attributed to divine protection and strength. The leadership and members believe that their cause is just and that their efforts are blessed by ChukwuAbiama (the Supreme God). This spiritual belief reinforces their commitment and provides a sense of purpose.


Additionally, the members are steadfast in their belief that no man or woman born can stain or derail the movement and escape the divine retribution of God. This belief in divine justice not only fortifies their resolve but also serves as a source of inspiration and motivation in their ongoing struggle for self-determination and justice.


The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has demonstrated remarkable resilience and professionalism in the face of concerted efforts by the Nigerian government to discredit and suppress the movement. Despite numerous attempts to tarnish her esteemed image, including failed efforts to jam Radio Biafra and baseless accusations of criminal activities, IPOB has continued to thrive and grow.


As IPOB continues her divinely assigned journey, it does so with the confidence that these foundational principles and divine protection will sustain the mortal efforts and lead her towards achieving her goals. The movement’s ability to endure and grow amidst adversity is a powerful testament to her strength and dedication, reflecting the enduring spirit of the nonnegotiable cause and the insatiable commitment of members and supporters.

Nnamdi Kanu: The Nigerian State Continues To Use 'Stalling Tactics' To Quietly Extinguish The IPOB Leader In Detention

 Nnamdi Kanu: The Nigerian State Continues To Use 'Stalling Tactics' To Quietly Extinguish The IPOB Leader In Detention


On 29th December 2023, the public recieved a heart-rending news of how Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the illegally detained leader of the Indeginous People Of Biafra(IPOB) has been seriously down as a result of a dire internal hemorrhage in his blood vessels alongside other health complications he is going through under the solitary confinement walls of the Nigerian Department Of State Security(DSS). 


Recall that nearly three years ago, the Nigeria government engaged an international espionage network to unlawfully kidnap and extraordinarily rendition the IPOB leader from Kenya to Nigeria, and has since kept him in custody while he underwent "legal prosecution". And although subsequent Nigerian courts had ruled in favor of Kanu, ordering his unconditional release and acquittal, citing the legitimacy of his agitation for self-determination through a peaceful means, the Nigerian supreme court during its landmark judgement on 15th December, 2023 failed to neither uphold the judgement of its subordinate courts nor give an informed ruling of its own. Instead, it reverted the case back to the Federal high court which a year earlier stated that it lack the jurisdiction to give a sound judgement on the case. The Supreme Court also erroneously justified the continued incarceration of Kanu in the DSS cell.


Nnamdi Kanu has committed no crime known to law, aside demanding the conduct of a United Nations' supervised referendum for the people of Eastern Nigeria - who are largely agreed to have suffered oppression and subjugation, since the unconsented amalgamation of the Nigerian entity by colonial Britain in 1914. So, the inhumane judgement delivered by the Supreme Court of course, sparked great dissatisfaction, especially in the East, and in IPOB movement who for years had continued to have faith in the Nigerian Judiciary, paced themselves in the face of unprecedented provocations, extrajudicial killings and forceful abductions of their folks without fair trial, this including the extraordinary rendition of the leader.


The IPOB Leader has on various occasions been reported to have serious life-threatening health complications owing to his tragic ordeal in Kenya, in the hands of his abductors who tortured him for eight days before bringing him to Nigeria. And until recently, Nigerian authorities did not allow him acesss to his personal doctors, and equally refused to release him either on the indispensable "discharge and acquittal" judgement of the appellate court, or grant him medical clemency leave on health grounds to undergo rigorous surgery to ascertain the level of damage that has been done to his person.


Thus, it has became speculatively clear enough, that Nigeria government as well as their supposed co-conspirators on both local and foreign levels have decided that, having not been able to immediately jail the IPOB leader - which they had thought would be a cakewalk upon his rendition, they are left with no other choice but to capitalize on his health complications to slowly but meticulously "extinguish" what is left of his physical being. They are carrying this out by allowing his inflicted injuries to continue to eat deep and deteriorate irreparably, while they scamper for ulterior means to bend the law and finally put him behind bars. And could lead one to argue that what transpired at the supreme court was the beginning of the long plan.


However, it is important to buttress that, should Nigeria suceeds through its ill-advised actions to force the IPOB movement out of their legal course and pragmatic diplomacy in pursuit of the self-determination right of the people of Eastern Nigeria, then it looses the moral, legal and politicial right to confront or complain even to the International community about the actions of the movement henceforth.


Nigeria is already an entity marred with severe ethnic, economic and security crisis, Some of which ofcourse, can be said to be consciously intended by state-actors for geopolitical, ethnic and ultranationalism reasons. For example, the massacres of indeginous people in central Nigeria by the Fulani terror herdsmen who have been on the ramage since 2015 with operational backing from their kinsmen in the political sphere.


Nonetheless, the adverse impact of these ethnic strife and the dire economic decadence in Nigeria, if then added to the Biafra agitation which could go south at anytime would apparently result to the demise of Nigeria as presently constituted. It is imperative that the Nigerian government and International community prevail on this issue, and free the IPOB leader and seek diplomacy to resolve the disagreements.


There are already various conflict zones in the world now which have dire impact on global trade and economy, another one in West Africa would not be in the interest of world trade. And the catalyst for such could be the cynical,


divisive gimmicks of the Nigerian government in addressing the Biafra question and that of its leader.

Thugs Sponsored By Sen. T. A. Orji And Chinedum Orji Attack Amaokwe Ugba Community

 Thugs Sponsored By Sen. T. A. Orji And Chinedum Orji Attack Amaokwe Ugba Community



A group of loyal thugs to both SenatorTheodore Ahamefule Orji, former governor of Abia State and to his son, Chinedum Orji attacked Amaokwe Ugba community in ibeku, Abia State with machetes at Ụzọ-Ubi area on 15th April 2022.


These thugs who were led by one Loveday Egeonu, son of a known controversial man, Nkwalankwa, hacked down several indigenes of the said community at the incident, and left some others with dip machete cuts.


The hoodlums did not only perpetrate this act with machetes, but also fired gunshots at some of the villagers who tried to run for safety. Then they abducted three of their victims and took them to their ring leaders. Among whom those they abducted are Mr. Onyemaechi Nwoko and one one Mr. Ikechukwu Anyanwu.


On getting the news of the incidence, operatives of the police anti-cultism unit made fast to arrested two of the ring leaders for their involvement in the assault.


The rest of the gang members includes, but not only Mr. Loveday Egeonu who led the attack, and who arrogates himself on as a "proud member" of the "Vikings" a.k.a. "The Arrow Baggers cult". One prove of this is in a Facebook post he made on 26th February 2017. Amongst other members of his gang who carried out the attack are Kelechi Anyanwu, Emeka Gbufor, Bright Nwabuko and "Obere".


Prior to this incident, precisely on 7th January 2022, Mr. Onyemaechi Nwoko had led this same gang of cultists in a failed attempt to attack members of Amaokwe Ugba Community. In 2020 and 2021, the President-General of Amaokwe Ugba Ibeku, Hon. Tobias Osukwu had as well alleged that Chinedum Orji and his father, Sen. T. A. Orji threatened and attempted to murder him and some other indigenes of Amaokwe Ugba, Ibeku for opposing the Orjis' appropriation of Amaokwe Ugba's ancestral lands. Tobias Osukwu had raised an alarm on social media in late 2021, inciting that the Orjis wrote a petition to the Nigerian security forces accusing him(Hon. Tobias Osukwu) of being a member of "the group terrorising Abia, Imo and Rivers States", and that the false accusations in the petition had been intended at tricking the Nigerian government into killing him.


Furthermore, The victims of the Friday attack have been admitted at the police clinic in Umuahia, Abia State.


In respect to the arrest of the suspected culprits, some eye-witnesses at the police station on that Friday evening told family writers correspondent that Senator T. A. Orji sent his representatives, which included Barr. Anthony Anyanwu and Sir Chidi Onwuchuruba(the Commissioner for Lands, Abia State) to demand the immediate release of the detained criminal suspects. And the police went on to release the suspects the following day without hesitation.


So we are notifying the public about this continued political onslaughts, being meted against Biafrans by corrupt politicians, because it has to stop. Our people cannot go on watching those thar vowed to protect the land, now being the terror to us.


The people of Amaokwe are calling for the intervention of the Abia State government, and all people of goodwill.


This evil must stop now. And those kidnapped must be released right immediately.

Biafra: How The Intellects Miss The Point, Embrace The Culture Of Speaking Half-truths

 Biafra: How The Intellects Miss The Point, Embrace The Culture Of Speaking Half-truths



Chidi Anselm Odinkalu, for those that know him, is not a name to be thrown around loosely. He is a Professor and a former Chairman of National Human Rights Commission, NHRC. He is not a type that uses words carelessly. Infact, every word he chooses has its important place in the sphere of discourse.



On February 14, 2022, his opinion article titled: “Nigeria and the price of sovereign innumeracy” was published on Punch Newspaper.


The article summarily highlighted three events that plunged Nigeria into a dicey state of unaccountability and politico-economic mismanagement.


Those are the 1962/63 national census, the 1964 federal elections and the 1965 elections in the old western region.



In their usual fashion, but in a display of double standardness since Jonathan's era, he refrained from directly blaming Buhari. Instead, he deflected and talked about how Nigeria has been troubled from before the emergence of this administration without pointing out that Buhari has been a constant from 1966 coup. 


The history of mismanagement and miscalculation by Nigeria as outlined by Chidi Odinkalu started from the controversial census of 1962/63, irregular federal election of 1964 to old Western region of 1965 misconducted elections leading up to the civil war in 1967/70, the Yakubu Gowon fiscal irresponsibility of cement importation, the unpublished census of 1973, the oil and gas windfall of 1973-1975, the unproductive military era of General Obasanjo that threw up Shehu Shagari and Alex Ekwueme. The Umaru Dikko rice importation licence reminiscent of the cement importation debacle, the Buhari coup of 1983 and the Babangida counter coup of 1985. The 1993 annulled election unofficially won by Abiola, the enthronement of weak Ernest Shonekan, the palace coup of Sani Abacha, his death, and the lacklustre tenure of Abdulsalami Abubakar and the imposition of 1999 shari’a constitution. The recycle of Obasanjo from 1999 till date is relatable to this generation.



While this history is of utmost importance, it is incomplete because it smartly avoided ruffling feathers by including the role of United Kingdom. For the purpose of clarity, it was United Kingdom that unconsultationally forced the merging of northern and southern protectorates, despite knowing that such union is like mixing oil and water. The Professor cleverly avoided mentioning that southerners(Biafrans especially) have been the casualties of United Kingdom’s instigated violence of divide and conquer since 1943 in Jos, the present day Plateau state. Again, in 1953 in Kano, there was a spontaneous anti-independence riots leading to loss of many Biafran lives. Again, why would a sane person not include the fact that before the 1967 continuation of the United Kingdom’s war of attrition, the Eastern region(Biafra) had one of the world’s fastest growing economy under Michael Iheonukara Okpara? Why would a simple question of why that region has no embassy, international cargo and commercial airports, seaports and infrastructure, 52 years after the war, not be asked? The truth is that there is a determination and competition from the intellects to tell the story from the middle. A point of less or no conflict of interest. After all, the same abusive, racist and white supremacist colonialists trained them. 



As an example, Professor Odinkalu used to head the National Human Rights Commission(NHRC). Now ask a simple question: Who funds NHRC? It is still the same people that conscionably colonized you. Is that not the solid definition of ‘conflict of interest?’ However, if you ask me, I will say that there seems to be a sense of privilege conferred on these supposed elites and intellects for the simple reason that they are the chosen ones and the rest of us subhumans. There lies their loyalty!



So, in reality, there is a sense of deference and half-truths from the Odinkalu’s, Soludo’s, Okonjo-Iweala’s, Moghalu’s of this world, who want to mention a few that churns the stomach and releases the bile from the duct. How could someone, who by the way is lettered, be talking about the political and economic injustice without talking about the social injustice? Is it that a hard really to figure out that social injustice leads to political injustice, which in turn, leads to economic injustice? 



Nobody should take Professor Chidi Anselm Odinkalu and his generation seriously, until he starts talking about social restitution and justice. This must start from complete decolonization of Nigeria. That in essence means the organizing of a ‘referendum’ and the seeking of the indigenous peoples consent on the establishment of a nation of patriots. Anything less than that is an effort in futility!

The war of Annihilation Against the Igbos and the hypocrisy of Nigeria government

 The war of Annihilation Against the Igbos and the hypocrisy of Nigeria government 



It is said that whoever wants to go to equity should always go with clean hands. Whoever wants peace must always cultivate equity. Political pride, hatred and hypocrisy against the Igbo tribe is what got Nigeria to the position they are in today.


For the purpose of clarity, equality means that individuals or group of people are given the same resources or opportunities. On the other hand, equity recognizes that each individual or group has different circumstances and, therefore, allocates resources and opportunities so that equal outcome is attained.


The Igbos suffers the worst humiliation in Nigeria if not in Africa. During the war, more than 3 million of Igbo people were killed and starved to death. Igbo became victims in their own land. Ironically, while other ethnicities pay lip service to their belief in Nigeria, Igbo have shown theirs by the enormous investments and developments that is racially and tribally blind scattered across the length and breadth of Nigeria. Indeed, actions speaks louder than words. Igbos are living in almost all the villages in Nigeria. Any village in Nigeria without Igbo presence is not worth living in. In fact, it is jokingly said that, anywhere you go in the world without the presence of an Igbo man there is no business there, the place should be deserted. That joke is true about Nigeria!


After the civil war, in order to keep the fragile peace of Nigeria, as they claimed, the then Nigerian head of state, General Yakubu Gowon, instituted the 3Rs—Rehabilitation, Reconstruction and Reintegration; and also proclaimed to the world that the war has ended with a “No victor, no vanquished.” A proclamation that turned out to be an act of deception and an insult to the Igbo people. The claim of an effort to heal wounds, treat psychological horror and trauma, reintegrate the country were made for the purpose of perfunctory, intended for the television. Suffice it to say that it is needless to ask pertinent questions such as, was the policy of the 3Rs executed to the letter? Was the ‘no victor, no vanquished’ implemented to calm frayed nerves, douse tension and give succour to bereaved relations and survivors of the genocide erroneously called war? We all know the answers!


The last straw for them that broke the camel’s back was Chief Awolowo’s abandon property policy which he formulated as the then Finance Minister, to give the Igbos only twenty (20) pounds, no matter how much they had in their savings and other accounts in Nigerian banks before the war. This is one of the worst man’s inhumanity to man that was meted-out to Igbos. It was a sadistic and merciless exhibition of un-magnanimity by a proxy winner playing out a script.


Of all this humiliation to Igbo, Buhari in this age too, never deemed it right to make Igbo feel at home. Instead, to prove that he was a sadist and clannish, Military Operation Python Dance was the only federal gift given the Igbo.


The unofficial result of the June 12, 1993, election which indicated a victory for Moshood Abiola of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), over Bashir Tofa of the National Republican Convention (NRC). The winner of the election was thus never declared as the elections were annulled by IBB, citing electoral irregularities. The annulment led to protests and political unrest, including the resignation of IBB and a weak interim civilian government, and culminated in the continuation of military rule in the country with Sani Abacha ascending to power as the military head of state via a bloodless coup later in the year. Fast forward to 2018, President Muhammadu Buhari, during his 2018 democracy day speech, said that June 12 will be Nigeria’s Democracy day in other to compensate and pacify Yoruba people for what happened in June 12, 1993.


How come that in a family of 3 sons (Tunde, Musa and Obi) of the same parents, Tunde is considered as the legitimate child, Musa the right son and Obi as the prodigal son. What is good for Tunde and Musa should also be good to Obi, if we claim we are one Nigeria. Why would the president of Nigeria choose to pacify Yoruba people but militarize Igbo land? Why did Buhari choose to honour June 12 of yesterday but forget over 3 million Biafrans brutally killed during the war? Why would he consider it right to make June 12 Democracy day but chose to bring operation python dance to the Igbo people?


Nigeria will continue to run from pillar to post, from frying pan to fire until it learns the importance of "I am sorry".

No Justice For The Masses, No Peace For The Government

 No Justice For The  Masses, No Peace For The Government


History they say, "repeats itself", according to a Mexican revolutionist, Emiliano Zapata. Going by the recent happenings in the South-East and South-South regions of Nigeria, the political leaders have rudely  maintained adamant and negligence to plight of the people. The  historical events, the aftermath, the repercussion of their greediness and shameless loyalty to maintain the evil promises of the Fulani caliphate, have so terribly overwhelmed their consciousness.

It is quite ironic that political leaders in Biafraland are now crying loud for the crippled businesses and properties they are presently losing which is occasioned by the attacks of the "unknown gunmen" within the South-East region particularly. This is coupled with the wastage of human lives due to the murderous activities of the Fulani killer herdsmen.

For almost a decade now, the so-called political elites kept mute over the senseless killings of our farmers and youths in their own ancestral farmlands by this Islamic killer squad that is ravagely terrorising the entire land. The state governors amongst other politicians, are just being selfish and care only for the glories of their positions, while the masses can go ahead and be grappling with tribulations, torments, molestations and brutal killings.

Any form of  protest against the heinous terror attacks meted on them, would lead to public assult and slaughtering at will, by the Fulani controlled armed forces. Government pays virtually no attention to the cries of the people despite several petitions that have been made through human rights organizations for government proactive aids. Such efforts fell on deaf ears and were intentionally  ignored. 

Over the past few months, there have been several records of attacks on government structures and security agencies, which were precipitated by the insensitivity of the murderous political party officials. The institutionalized corruption that have erupted in the Nigerian political parties have given rise to the killing of opponents and the innocent and being blamed on the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB), the most peaceful freedom fighting movement globally. 

The IPOB will therefore, not fold her hands and watch politicians initiate, commit crimes and turn round to blame such on IPOB. No well informed individual will ever contemplate tagging the over fifty (50) million indigenous people, terrorists for rightly placing demands for their freedom. It will be the greatest nightmare, when these citizens take to terrorism. It is callous and outrageous to imagine this great cultivation of monsters. IPOB cannot be ridiculed or maligned by mere accusation without evidential proofs.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu established a security outfit known as Eastern Security Network (ESN), purely to counter the bloody incursion of the Fulani herdsmen into Biafraland and all manner of terror relate activities against Biafrans, but the South Eastern governors connived with the Fulani leaders to counter the Eastern Security Network, through their establishment of the so-called Ebube Agu. 

In Ebonyi State, the Ebube Agu Security has only been terrorising and killing peaceful IPOB members under the direct supervision of governor Dave Umahi. Many innocent lives have been wasted by the Ebube Agu operatives instead of tackling the security challenges facing the people. Imagine such an evil irony. The political leaders in Biafraland must fully understand that whatever they are seeing now is directly caused by their acts of gross negligence to the cries and agonies of the masses.

The situation in Imo and Anambra States, is a very typically example of what is to come if situations remain unaddressed. The masses reactions over the continuous weekly Sit-At-Home exercise, even as it has been suspended by the IPOB leadership, coupled with the activities of the Unknown Gunmen against government officials and properties, ably justify the quotes of a popular Mexican revolutionist, Emiliano Zapata who said: "If there is no justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government".

The Legacy Of Slavery, Colonialism, Neo-Colonialism, Britain And Global Silence

 The Legacy Of Slavery, Colonialism,  Neo-Colonialism, Britain And Global Silence



"The only thing needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing", said by Edmund Burke. 


What is White Supremacy? 


According to Oxford Dictionary, White Supremacy is the belief that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate the society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups in particular, blacks and Jews. 


Has The British Portrayed Characteristics Relatable To The Above Definition? 


Most Africans are familiar with tribalism, classism, racism and simple discrimination based on caste, social status, race, religion or creed. White supremacy can be said to be the mother of them all. White Supremacy as championed today inherently, continued from racism and slavery. Areas where white supremacy is widely mentioned and attributed to action are in USA, Canada, UK and other western countries. Meanwhile, racism against blacks in USA will not be a thing without slavery. There, members of organizations like the Kukluxklan, Proud boys, Nazis etcetera, are the footsoldiers who take most of the blame when they riot, kill and/or destroy properties. These cults are known for sustaining the confederate flag and war memorabilia. They have protested against toppling confedrate war sculptures and monument by activists who see them as racists for fighting to keep slavery of black people. The concept of supremacy by whites was used to persuade the black man to submit to slavery. It was used to justify the act of slavery as well as clear the conscience of the slavemasters who were mostly christian Europeans. In the USA, they set up the Kukluxklan which captured and punished slaves for various offenses. The division of Africa among the colonial Europeans, gave them the power to exploit it to the last dime. They also built and sustained administrative blocks and systems to maintain their power, stranglehold on resources and minerals, political control and policies, as well as non-political loopholes! 


Yes! From their first discovery on record which is the Niger River till date by Mungo Park and his criminal gang of British explorers, grave injustice undeniably connoting White Supremacy has been sustained in Nigeria and Africa at large. The British colonial intent was total exclusion of the indigenous people. This is notably recorded in Canada, Australia, USA, Mexico, etc. The British overlords expanded through Europe to the Americas, Asia and Africa and in their wake, was destruction of civilisations, looting of art and cultural property, forced labor, forceful religious emancipation and outright genocide. 

Notable genocide of the Canadian Indian natives, Benin empire destruction and looting, exiles of Niger Delta King Jaja Opobo, destruction of Arochukwu Jewish temple and Christianisation of the Igbos. While the post colonial objective is appropriation of commonwealth and sustenance of interests acquired during colonial period, a simple difference of syntax and semantics. The use of treacherous indigenous people in aiding and abetting the practice of unnatural selection now, as was the case then, does not make their crime less inhumane. 


Britain supplied more than 90% of arms to the Nigerian government that slaughtered Biafrans in 1967 to protect their oil interests from 1967 to 1970. This is an example of the British putting their business interests above the lives of more than 3 million Biafrans who they killed indirectly. How can we attribute problems, crisis, massacres, racism and poverty in this day and age to the same wicked attributes of colonialism and continuing White Supremacy that started centuries ago especially in Nigeria. The world has not changed any much more than it was then. Colonialism and slavery have stopped officially but definitely alive unofficially. 

They have sustained the parasitic relationship via various means. They produce and threaten others with weapons of mass destruction. Their multinational companies continue to exploit natural resources from these areas while their culture of slavery continues via unequal wage structure, unfair competition, unfair meddling, outright interventions, association and promotion of corrupt leaders thereby, covering up the corruption and collusion like Shell and Eni-Total, upholding double standards by arresting some accused of corruption while sparing others. 


What Have The Self-Professed Good Men And Women Done? 


In the case of the USA which figured the British impunity and sacked them via a war of independence, they realized the fear of their enemies like Russia, to create co-dependent treaties for protection like NATO etc. These organizations help them to work together instead of sustaining each others interests like in the case of Biafra and Nigeria. The USA's hands are tied because of their alliance, while the United States Government acknowledges that the rights of Biafrans are being violated. They kept quiet until 6 million Jews were destroyed. Who then are the good men if they are all in alliance with our killers? 


Newton's physical law of equality and opposition of action and reaction is a common knowledge. There is only a limit to what a suffering people can endure. The British obviously understand that Biafrans are not a dying breed despite their covert and overt action and inaction. Therefore, what is their end game? What do they wish to accomplish by killing Biafrans since they set foot on our land? What do they gain by supporting Nigeria which stifles our dreams? Resources are not indefinite most sincerely. The world goes round and round and empires. How will our children see Britain tomorrow if they are sitting on our heads today? Are they going to also seat on our children like they sat on our fathers yesterday? If the British do not run white supremacist  government and do not hate their mixed race or black constituents, how then do we explain what the same government did in Africa and is continually doing to us even today? Someone said you can appeal to your oppressors emotions but these are moms and dads. 


They have sons like our mothers and fathers. Make peaceful change possible for Africans and Biafrans to change the narrative for good. Australia is paying reparations for what the British did to their indigenous people, the USA is doing same, Canada is making it easy to right the wrongs to natives. Why is Britain going the opposite direction by trying to uphold their racist invention - Nigeria, even after killing millions? The treatment given to Maazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, a British citizen,  by the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs Office, has blown open the pretentious lies of Britain about fighting for freedom and democracy. 


Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, after being renditioned/smuggled from Kenya by Nigeria, UK has even refused to officially acknowledge that the rights of Biafrans are being violated. They kept quiet aelier until 6 million Jews were destroyed. They did the same in Biafra. Who really are the good men then when they are in alliance with our killers? A Jewish British citizen was kidnapped and taken to another country against his choice, yet Britain condemned Lukashenko for commandering a plane to arrest a dissident years ago. Is fighting for the freedom of the Biafran people Nnamdi Kanu's sin, being black or being Jewish? Britains silence is loud as the dying cry of many Biafrans are being arrested by the Nigerian government.


The British government in helping the terrorists Fulani to abduct Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has once again shown their disdain for others. He being black and Jewish, is like a double whammy! How can they be smart enough to know what they want? It gets clearer and clearer! Shun white supremacy or go down with it! Britain's choice is to lead millions of white supremacists out of their prejudices, the same way it begat them!

Is Ohanaeze Ndigbo Really For The Igbos?

 Is Ohanaeze Ndigbo Really For The Igbos?



It is terribly disheartening hearing Ohanaeze Ndígbo laud the Nigerian army for securing the South-East. In the story, the said Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide, on Wednesday 4th August 2021, commended the Nigerian Army for its sacrifice in restoring security and peace in the South-East region.


Professor George Obiozor, the President-General of the socio-cultural group, made the commendation when the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 82 Division, Major-General Taoreed Lagbaja, visited him in his office in Enugu, Enugu State. Obiozor expressed delight over the GOC’s visit to the Ohaneze House, saying “without peace, nations cannot progress. And without the Armed Forces, we will have more problems. They are the pillars of Nigeria’s unity.” According to the Ohanaeze leader, the Nigerian Army is one of the best in Africa and he urged the various armed forces to sustain their efforts towards ensuring peace and security across the country.


Responding, Lagbaja described Ohanaeze Ndigbo as a key stakeholder in managing the affairs within the division’s core Area of Responsibility (AOR). The GOC said, “Nigerian Army is an instrument of the state that helps to ensure peace, security and stable economic activities”, stating that the army chose to partner with all stakeholders to achieve its mandate. He commended the leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo for advising against the threat by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which the Nigerian State tagged terrorists, to use force to enforce its planned weekly "Sit-at-home" order in the zone while assuring residents of adequate security. He further stated that the division would not tolerate any acts that would threaten the prevailing peace in the area.

With the stand of this Igbo group, one would ask, what is it's basic function/aim? Are the members there for their selfish reasons or for Ndigbo in general? How can a socio-cultural group that is meant to promote the socio-cultural identity of her people be celebrating the killing of same innocent people in the disguise of Unknown Gunmen?

Is the Ohanaeze and her President-General high on drugs? Why inviting the army in the first place? Why killing your own people who are agitating for their constitutional rights? Why not engage them in dialogue? Why the show of force? Do they serve the Igbos or other people?

Infact, Ohanaeze Ndígbo is a bunch of disappointment and members are never the true representatives of the Igbos as they were meant to be and as such, should never be trusted. These are really “enemies within”.

BBC's Gaslighting And The Media Bias Against The Indigenous People Of Biafra

 BBC's Gaslighting And The Media Bias Against The Indigenous People Of Biafra


The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), is already confirming what we know already, concerning Britain which is at the centre of what Nnamdi Kanu is presently going through. Why not? BBC is demonizing Nnamdi Kanu, Eastern Security Network (ESN) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). It is justifying the illegal abduction of Nnamdi Kanu, a supposed British citizen. It has to be repeatedly said that the Fulanis do not have the sophistication or craftiness (not even the boldness), of ingenuity whatsoever, without British latitude. 

BBC that is not perturbed about the pronouncement, undeniably attributed to Sheikh Abubakar Gumi and most recently, Nasir El-Rufai, that banditry is business, had their editorial board meet and agree that a calumny from a total loser, Nduka Orjinmo, who was grifting and gaslighting, was fit to run. BBC that is well aware of the social, psychological and emotional eternal damage done to the North of their creation, shamelessly concerns itself with narrative projections of the government engineered crisis in Biafraland. This is far from professional (ethical, civilized) journalism. It suffers from a conflict of interest and selectively dishes out disinformation in a manner resembling the war events of 1967 to 1970.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), is a global mainstream media with a globalist narrative and is really pushing it with utmost alacrity. The ripple effect of this dangerous and bias narrative has trickled down to Nigerian media. They are a terrible bunch of unambitious, uninspiring, lackluster and unsympathetic collection. They are just dissipating energy on preposterous matters. Their shameful and disgraceful destruction of the respected journalistic profession, has been evident in the preferential coziness to the abusers of citizens rights. They have been government’s torch bearers as it massacred unarmed civilians, negotiated with terrorists and recruited them into the military. Incorrectly captioned the killing of people in their homestead and homeland by Fulani herdsmen, as “farmers/herders clash.” 

The Nigerian media is best known as a “gutter media.” It has lost it's name as the “fourth realm.” It has no vibe, no moral compass or principle. It moves with the trend of error. And this trend is usually based on the gesture of the highest bidder. The most stashed brown envelope has it all. It cherry-picks what to report so as not to offend the master – who is always a lawless tyrant. 

It is a fair-weather friend. It can be noisy and socially organized when a gentleman is at the helm (as was the case under Jonathan) or criminally silent and complicit when bigoted despots seize power and rape democracy. They usually talk in hush voices when good people who choose to do something are vilified or deplatformed as was the case with Donu Kogbara an Ogoni and the daughter of, Biafra's UK Ambassador, Mr. Ignatius. S. Kogbara. She was courageous in exposing the atrocities from the camps of Sani Abacha, the devil we knew, and Ken Saro-Wiwa, the angel we knew not. She was thrown under the bus by the Nigerian media with the active support of their international partners.


It is unpardonable what the media is doing. It is better, in the case of the British contraption called Nigeria, for the media to identified and be officially known as APC activists. Perhaps, when another party assumes the presidency, they can change accordingly.

Biafrans Are Ruled With "Rods Of Iron"






 
Hatred is a popular word in the history of mankind. It is used on things or beings that one is not friendly with or something that is detested. According to Oxford Dictionary, Hatred is defined as strong aversion; intense dislike; hateful regard; an affection of the mind awakened by something regarded as unpleasant, harmful or evil. 
 
The treatment or the way the old Eastern region of Nigeria is being treated, speaks volumes of hatred. In the history of Nigeria, people hardly talk positive of the Igbos (in the Eastern region), without getting a hate speech from about eighty percent (80%) of the other parts of the country. And one still wonders, what necessitated this level of hatred. Even before self-governance of the various parts of Nigeria between 1956-1959, the Igbos were massacred on several occasions especially in the Northern region. 22nd of June 1945, was the genesis of the Killing of Igbo people by in the history of mankind. 
  
It is well known that during the pre-colonial era, there existed basically, three (3) regions in Nigeria but when nepotism and ethnic sentiments came in 1966, there were series of meetings in order to iron out the issues hampering the positivity of the nation, Nigeria. One of those meetings was the famous "Aburi accord" between late General Odimegwu Ojukwu and General Yakubu Gowon, which was later violated by Gowon. He then declared war on Biafra (the Eastern region). 
 
In the course of this violation, there came the so-called Nigeria/Biafra war that lasted from 1967 to 1970, which can be called the world versus Biafra war. This war claimed the lives of about five million Igbos. Thereafter, the Eastern region was divided, carving out the miniaturized five states as IGBO States. 
 
After the declaration of no victor, no vanquish in 1970, the Igbos have been the most active force in one Nigerianism by investing and developing virtually all parts of the federation. But no matter their positive impact in the One-Nigeria project, they are still being hated, marginalized and cheated in all things except in pains and agony. 
 
In the year 1999, the core Northern parts of Nigeria began their quest for sharia law. This was later granted by the President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, without killing of any Northerner. When Igbos demand their own right to self-determination, they became enemies of the state. The ever presence of military and security personnel in the Eastern part of the country who engage mostly in extortion and killing of innocent people in the region without recourse, shows much evidence of hatred towards the Igbos. 
 
Now, there have been so much unrests in the Northern part and all the government does have been pampering and negotiating with the terrorists and their so-called bandits who have been killing and pillaging on daily basis. But a none violent group, called the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which came up in the year 2002, agitating for justice and equity for both South-East and South-South (Biafraland), the Nigerian government has relentlessly launched attacked and killed many members of the group, with attempted murder of it's leader, in 2017. The same peaceful movement was later proscribed. 
 
The judicial arm did it's worst by ruling in favour of Hope Uzodimma, as the governor of Imo State even when he came 4th in the gubernatorial election. Eversince the forceful installation of Hope Uzodimma as the Imo State Governor, peace has since gone to oblivion. All the Nigerian government does is to militarize the zone and kill  innocent civilians in the name of killing IPOB and operatives of Eastern security network (ESN). 
 
As Balotelli, a popular footballer will always ask, "why always me?" and one will ask why always the Igbos? It is high time equity play it's vital role to balance the whole system. Or simply put, let the Biafran nation go and determine her own future and that of her unborn children.

Changing The Deceitful Narrative Of Possible Igbo Dominance Of Niger Delta People




It is most unfortunate that quite a number of the indigenous land owners in the artificially crafted South-South or better still, Niger Delta region so-called, have pitiably remained indoctrinated with the misleading narrative that the Igbos will most assuredly dominate them, in the event of the final emergence of the sovereign nation of Biafra. Some have rightly expressed the fear of Igbo socio-economic dominance due to either stark ignorance or tainted knowledge, should they be joined in a seperate nation with their kits and kin from the South-East religion. It therefore remains rather more puzzling to clearly spot out who actually is dominating who in the present architectural setting of Nigeria. Are the Igbos dominating? Why this unfounded fears of their possible domination of their own blood under the Biafra setting?

There is no gainsaying the fact that this unique human race has remained historically ingenious in virtually every progressive sphere of life. They are naturally wired to thrive and survive adventurously in whatever circumstance without any government assistance. The Igboman naturally prefers his entrepreneuralship with other considerations becoming secondary. The despicable, fallacious and grossly misleading narrative of possible domination, cannot  in anyway, survive intelligent constitutional framework of an emergent Biafran State. The deceitful theory is being floated to further puncture the unity and goal of the people, and so must be completely erased and jettisoned from our subconsciousness. So-called Niger Deltans or South-Southerners should forge a consolidated front even globally with their Igbo brethren to realistically advance this self-relization quest. The concocted and grossly unworkable Nigerian union brought upon us as a people, through the instrumentality of the British talored amalgamation of 1914, has over the years, been our greatest undoing. Nigeria has expired.

According to the proposed ideological  philosophy of the emerging Biafra nation known as the United States of Biafra (USB), the Constitution would be a joint draft of all relevant stakeholders from the various ethnic groups that will constitute the new nation. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has pointedly stated that the entire stakeholders from the concerned ethnic groups will make up the Constitution Drafting Committee. This will uncompromisingly,    be saddled with the writing and articulation of the document which will be overwhemingly accepted by all. This Constitution will determine the shape of administration/governance as well as the prudent management of all Biafra resources. Each member State will completely administer/manage it's resources without external dictate or control, to the benefit of citizens. The only expectation from the central government, is a token tax for the purpose of well defined national administrative expendiency. This emphasis from the IPOB leader, hinges on the principle of true federalism as the only recipe for inclusive and people-oriented government. This position has remained clear enough to douse such propounded fear of dominance of any tribe against another as all have equal stakes. 

It is therefore pertinent to clinically disabuse the minds of the frightened pertaining the flying misleading narrative of any sort. All must join hands in synergy, to ensure that this colonial chain of slavery plaguing us as a people, is totally and eternally broken. The Fulani cabals who have mortgaged our resources (oil wells) from across the Niger Delta must be stopped from ripping us off the benefits of our God-given inheritance. Their blatant feasting on the region while they surreptitiously speculate falsehood of Igbo dominance against us as our problem, must be stopped. It is a diversionary tactic orchestrated to sway us from the criminal ownership of our oil wells to the tune of twenty (20) by the Sultan of Sokoto while none of such belongs to an Igboman. This is the main import laid bare by their false and evil narrative aimed at further alienating us from our brothers and sisters within Biafraland. We must have to discountenance this kite of division being flown against us by our enemies. Believing in their Igbo domination theory amounts to simply taking a position of inferiority that the intelligence of the Igboman is superior to ours. These Fulani run Nigeria government must not be allowed to further pauperize us with their acrimonious narrative. We must accelerate our relevance by diligently working on ourselves beyond playing the second fiddle. No one can ignore us. We must imbibe the culture of acquiring new skills through self development. The emerging Biafra nation will be exceptionally detribalized and self fulfilling.

War Mongers And The Demand For Referendum





The constant reminder of the gruesome genocidal war called the Biafra war, cannot in anyway, demonize the rightful quest for the unfettered restoration of the nation of Biafra. Such will continually catalize that bold demand. The only reason behind this callous recall of extermination drive, hinges on the vicious role of the Nigerian media on the consciousness of the indigenous citizens which tends to picture the call for referendum as an act of war. This is another vista opened to demonize the will of the people. But some salient questions that have not been asked are: Is Nigeria presently not at war? Is the basis of the so-called unity established alongside the natural boundaries? What other relevant means beside the legitimate demand for referendum, could really usher in peaceful coexistence of the diverse indigenous nations amalgamated? All that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), have been demanding is peace through acts of selfless media enlightenment campaign driven by the tenets of basic civil rights encapsulated in self-determination and not war.

Without reservation, it should be noted that today's Nigeria, is fanning the embers of self-destructive war which are callously been driven through the exertion of despotic antecedents on the citizens. This position may be criticized or disagreed with but it is necessary to state the glaring truth here. If really there is no war, why the existence of different refugee camps virtually in all the regions in Nigeria with the exception of Biafraland? This is because the operatives of Eastern Security Network (ESN), have so tenaciously, defended the Eastern region (Biafraland), against the Fulani Islamic terrorists whom the Nigeeian government deceitfully termed foreign invaders.

This concern has been so rattling to the people who have been criminally sidelined by the compromised Nigerian media. Basic critical questions have unfortunately, been failed being asked pertaining the reason why people are so "displaced from their homes and communities" according to media parlance when there is no natural disaster? The media and even the people seem to have forgotten how in few years past, the Inspector-General of Police told the world that these marauding Fulani Islamic killers, are not Nigerians but foreigners. One other very important question that has been carefully avoided is, why have these so-called foreigners (terrorists) not been apprehended and prosecuted?

It has remained puzzling why the tyrannic Nigerian government appears weak in unleashing it's full might via the military, on these killer aliens who are blatantly hellbent on forcefully overrunning/dominating the ancestral lands of the indigenous people. Why the conspiracy of silence by the Buhari administration over the unabated criminal invasion and the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people by the Fulani terrorists? It is expediently, a call for concern for all freedom lovers to roundly speak up against this state-sponsored murderous spree. Today, instead of the Nigerian government to protect the helpless people from the vampiric onslaught of the invading terrorists, it is rather shamelessly, backing the criminals in their mad drive of relentless ethnic cleansing, thereby aggravating tension and insecurity across the country.

In it's shrewd contempt of demonizing innocent citizens, the Nigerian government has resorted to blackmail and oppression amidst gruesome massacres of the terrorists tagged bandits, instead of humbly strategizing for peace and all inclusive/unbiased policies. The people haven therefore not received any form of security coverage/assurance over lives and properties, have totally.resorted to self-defence for survival as a legitimate right as obtained in civilized societies globally. All those that are beating the drums of war therefore, should remember that unlike the Nigeria/Biafra war of 1967 to 1970, any such intent in the present time, will spell monumental doom for everyone. The restoration of the sovereign nation of Biafra, has irreversibly crossed the rubicon of sabotage and supression. The will of the people has definitely assumed the centre stage and like the words of Chinualumogu Achebe of blessed memory, That count is Biafra and it must be restored.

IGP Usman Baba Alkali's Statement And The Perceived Hatred For Biafra




The Nigerian Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, stated that policemen should not wait for an order before they shoot any Biafran. He clearly ordered; “Do not mind the media shout; do the job I command you. If anyone accuses you of human rights violation, the report will come to my table and you know what I will do. So, take the battle to them wherever they are and kill them all. Do not wait for an order".

How again would one think he supposed to have said it if not what we just read? There is certainly no other way he is supposed to have told the world that Biafrans are not part of Nigeria, if not by making this type of statement. No one in his right mindset will tell me that Biafrans are regarded as humans, yet those with correct mental reasoning will not order that fellow humans should largely be shot at sight for demanding for their freedom.
Reading from line to line in the IGP's statement, will show you a pure statement of hatred and untamed fanaticism against the people.

“What other order are you waiting for when Mr. President himself, had ordered you to shoot anybody carrying AK-47 rifle? Quote me, even a dead policeman can be tried and dismissed from the force and his family will not get his benefits.
“So, do not sit and wait for them to come; take attack to them and do not lose your arms to criminals,” the acting IGP said further ordered.

I have not even seen or heard the same statement made to the Boko Haram terrorists which the whole world has known to be the second world most deadly terrorist group or even to the Fulani Herdsmen which are causing great havoc around the country. This statement by the Inspector-General of Police, is irresponsible, reckless and insensitive. It shows willful ignorance and malicious intent. In a sane clime, he should be out of job. This is totally unacceptable in a democracy and in a fractured country like Nigeria, with it's ethnic dynamics. But here, we have some people that are celebrating him for his reckless and undemocratic statements. When this type of statements could come from a man who supposedly knows the laws and it's dictates in a democratic setting as we claim Nigeria is, it shows the mentality of the Fulani leaders of Nigeria. Then, tell me how deteriorated the reasoning of those other ordinary Fulani herdsman being armed with AK-47, will be.

Oh Biafra!




They were murdered
In their numbers
No one was bothered
All across the borders!

What have I done?
Who have I wronged?
Must I be gone?
For ONE to be maintained?

You shall try
Though I cried
But I have thrived
And have dried
All my tears.

They tried
To wipe me out
They Conspired
North to South,
East to West,
They starved me.

Yet indestructible I am
Tall I stand
My Shoulders I raise high
Eternal I remain.

My dried bones yet live
From East to West
North to South
I shall be gathered
And my SUN shall RISE.

The Man - Nnamdi Kanu And IPOB




It takes a good knowledge of who a person is to know the purposes of such a person. I will use a portion of the Holy Bible to illustrate on my emphasis for this article. Many Biafrans never appreciated Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB at the early stage of his ministry because of their ignorance of who Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB really are, as regards what I theologically call "Divine Election and Ordination".
You can ulter other things but can never ulter Divine Election when the elected is truly in his ministry as the scripture made us to know, that Many are called but few are chosen. 

I am putting up this article to reveal a mystery both to those who have known and to those yet to know of God's mysteries about Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB. Prior to the unbelievable emergence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, Biafrans were confined in a state of identity crisis leading to anti-self-identity.
Let us get a revelation from the Holy Bible that will help Biafrans appreciate the person of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB. Exodus 3:4-10 (KJV)
Using the above scriptural example in reference to the people of Israel and their stay in Egypt, as the coming of Moses as their Messiah from God to set them free from Bondage. The Scripture said that on that faithful day, after he had caused Moses to deny the house of Pharoah as his house, making him to see that the slaves (Israelites) are his blood and family.

The bible said that on that faithful day, while he was keeping his flocks (sheep) verses 4 and 5 said;.4: And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Reading down to verse 6, God wholly introduced himself to Moses and telling him His purpose of revealing Himself to him, despite all other people he chose him, Moses was not the first person that went to that particular place but God chose to reval Himself to him.
Verse seven of that same chapter said;

7: And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

Taking this scriptural passages, every Biafran Christian should have by now, known that the miracle we always talk about and read from the Bible, has come our way, God does not just do miracle, He sees a reason to do it. Biafrans had been crying for years and praying to God both at their various homes and in churches that God should make things better.
Why are they now complaining and some of the misguided are talking about one Nigeria? The scripture we emphasised on, did not say that God answered the prayer and cries of the Israelites in Egypt, he took them out from Egypt, out of their misery and pains, same way he want to take Biafrans out of Nigeria. 
 
He sent Moses to deliver them and lead them, knowing fully well that Moses is the only one who is capable of the work and do it well being under God's command. God is a commanding Instructor, he chooses only one who is humble and obedient to send an errand. He chose Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, he chose Moses. 
Joshua had been there before Moses, but he did not choose him at that time, same way we had many of them in Biafraland and He chose Mazi Nnamdi Kanu over them and that is why some of them decided to constitute hindrance. Verse 8, God said He had come down to deliver them from the house of Pharaoh out of the land of Egypt and to bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey, a land of comfort and where peace and harmony reign. 

Before I explain this verse and other ones down, let me do some comparisons between Moses and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Moses left and lost his royalty position in the house of Pharaoh to deliver the Israelites, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu lost his home, his parents for Biafra.
Moses ran away and went on exile to avoid Pharaoh killing him because of the Israelites, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu ran away from Nigeria from Buhari and the Nigeria government. 
Moses returned and warned Pharaoh with instruction from God, did Mazi Nnamdi Kanu not enter Nigeria in 2017? On personal characteristics, Moses is an Angry type that caused him not to enter the promised land with them, Mazi Nnamdi is an angry type, God needs angry people who are strong in mind and heart and do fiery things for Him. God does not use people who are mild in action to take strong action. Moses formed a group of people who worked with him which included the Levites, his sister Miriam, Joshua and many others for them to help him lead the Israelites. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu came with IPOB family for divine work. God works in communion, in unison, in cooperation. 

Before the coming of Moses, though the bible did not record that, but if we were to investigate with any possible means, we will surely see that there have been many people who had come in one way or the other to lift the Israelites out but they did not succeed. That was because they were on their own accord without appointment from God. They helped to clear the road for the right time to reach the people who still had hope and faith that one day, their messiah will come, same way we had people like Uwazuruike and others who emerged in the name of leaders of the Biafran struggle. Such was done out of selfish interests and after being settled, they decided to stay low.

Every Biafran should appreciate the coming of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) but we will not expect that to happen. This is because even in the time of Moses, many Israelites were against him, some said he and his family, came to take them to the wilderness to kill them all. But the funny part of it all is that the Bible did  not tell us that some people did not go, none of those persecutors of Moses stayed back in Egypt. They all followed him,(who does not want to go out of oppression and frustration?). Same way those who criticised IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, will rejoice and merry on that last day. None of them who preached for one Nigeria, will ever say NO, that they are not going to be in Biafra or would want to relocate and remain in Nigeria. 

To appreciate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, you must know Who called him and the whole lot of his ministry followers. Biafrans being true Israelites, are covenanted with Jehovah God, the Almighty, and so engage God's attention in every sphere of life.
According to Exodus 3: 4-10, where I am using for illustration, God saw the oppressive afflictions of Israel in Egypt and needed a man to deliver them from the house of bondage in Egypt.

God engaged the spiritual and mental strength of Moses with a test of a flaming bush which was not burnt off. Moses responded positively. God called him and he responded, here I am, depicting availability for a mission. God has been looking for a man for Biafra liberation from Nigeria and total restoration of its sovereignty since after late Odumegwu Chukwuemeka Ojukwu of blessed memory laid the foundation. Some tried to answer the call but were not in line with the divine election and they failed.

But Mazi Nnamdi Kanu heard the call, answered and sealed it with a sincere oath just like a pastor who in   a genuine call would take in ordination to stand, defend and promote God and His Kingdom on earth without wavering even at death point. The person of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and all genuine IPOB members, involved in oath taking before God for the liberation and restoration of Biafra and Biafrans, to sovereignty in all absoluteness as a Nation which shall be free to serve God and develop a world enviable economy system.
For a man and people of this sort, no government anywhere on earth can ever stop their quest because their motives and moves are complex as each of their steps is divinely ordered and backed up.
The strength of this man, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, is not human but divine. The more his quest is being delayed, the more Nigeria and dirty politicians are wasting away without future relevance and this is Very dangerous.

I will use this time to advise those opposing his quest to reconsider surrendering..I also use this time to admonish Nigerian pastors to quit emotionalin one way or the other to lift the Israelites out but they didn't succeed,it's because they're own their own accord without appointment from God in their own personal time, but they helped to clear the road for the right time to reach si the people will still have hope and faith that one day, their messiah will come, same way we had people like Uwazuruike and others who emerged in the name of Biafran struggle in their own selfish interests and after being settled with a big loaf of bread, they decided to stay low.

Every Biafran should appreciate the coming of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, but we won't expect that to happen because even in the time of Moses, many Israelites were against him, some said him and his family has come to take them to wilderness to kill them all, but the funny part of it all is that the Bible didn't tell us that some people didn't go, none of those prosecutors of Moses stayed back in Egypt, they all followed him,( who doesn't want to go out of oppression and frustration?) Same prophecies to sustain Nigeria except they want to live in comedy of their real selves in future for God honours His Word only. Biafrans, rise to appreciate the gift of God, ELOHIM, Chukwu Okike Abiama.

Moses took Israel out of Egypt but handed the mantle to Joshua who finally took the people to the promised land. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu took over from late Odumegwu Chukwuemeka Ojukwu as a matter of Divine Election, not Natural Election and Biafra's liberation and restoration canno't be stopped in such a hand. Caution should be taken for this is Divine agenda for Biafrans.

Peace Treaty Between Biafra And Fulani Is Totally An Impossibility




 
“This war will not end. With every mile, my body and spirit break. Every jolt makes brittle, my mind. Each step pulls me further from home until I am the shell of the man that kissed my mother goodbye ago, forever. And I tense endlessly. Not knowing which will arrive first, the bullet that takes my life or my final chance for redemption.” .......D. Werner, 18 years old. World War 2 first class Private. 
 
Brigitte Gabriel, a Lebanese American, a survivor of radical Islamic terror and the founder of ACT for America, offers a historical detail of how a peaceful movement turned violent. In many of her guest speakings, she talked about radical Islam and the irrelevant silent majority. In a nutshell, she explained that it does not matter the number of moderates, as long as they choose not to do what is necessary, the radical few will enslave/kill us. She further disclosed that Prophet Mohammed taught radical Islamists two strategies: one is taqqiya (which is lying to an infidel with a straight face as long as it advanced the course of Islam) and two, is the principle of war (which is a peace treaty).  
 
The Fulani, like other radical Muslims, understand Al-hadebiya. It was the first deceptive treaty Prophet Mohammed signed with Mecca. They let down their guards thinking they had a peace treaty and he invaded them unannounced and unexpected. Fulanis idolize this dark Mohammedian attribute and implement it at every twist and turn. Having conquered the Hausa race, the Fulanis in their hubristic mind, are convinced that Nigeria is theirs. They are using the two strategies to achieve their aim which is to turn the indigenous people to second class citizens who would pay protection tax. Just as it is in the Caliphate. 
 
A Pew Research in five countries with the highest Muslim population – Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, Nigeria and Bangladesh, in 2013, found out that seventy seven percent (77%) of world Muslims support Sharia law and a Caliphate over Constitution and country. It means that seventy seven percent (77%) of Nigeria Muslim North supports Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen and bandits. Taqqiya has been on for long. For a peace treaty to happen, the Indigenous people must coalesce to a formidable resistance. These two strategies are what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), codenamed the 'devil's alternative.’ That is the use of terror to conquer everyone or when a resistance is mounted, they ask for a peace treaty. And like Prophet Mohammed, within a space of ten (10) years or before, they would succeed in their mission. Either way, whether through violence or peace representative by RUGA, creation of ranch (a private business) or control of water ways, they win. 
 
Therefore, this war will not end. At least not in a peace treaty. When Prophet Mohammed claimed an angel revealed he would be the last Prophet, he went to Medina to convert the Jews. For twelve (12) years, he was only able to convert his family and close friends, thereby turning a peaceful movement into a violent one. The first Caliphate birthed and lasted for one thousand, four hundred (1400) years. Over two hundred and seventy (270) million people were cut down by sword. Western civilization was impenetrable due to development of sophisticated weaponry and formation of the Crusaders. Biafra shall acquire sophisticated weaponry and arm everyone. Every Biafran must be a Crusader. This war will rather last for million years than for Biafra to have a peace treaty with these children of darkness.

The Struggle For The Freedom Of Igbo Nation, A Herculean Task




Igbos are killing Igbos! Yes, you heard me and I will say it again over and over, without apologies. The Fulanis, killing Igbos is only made possible because thd Igbos are providing the necessary assistance and support. Nigerian soldiers are Killing the Igbos even in Igboland is made possible because thd Igbos themselves who are Governors, invited them and gave them the go ahead order. Ikonso, the Imo State commander of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), was killed based on the conspiracy of his fellow Igbos, with his governor, Hope Uzodimma, giving the support and authorization.

Today, we are witnessing the greatest HYPOCRISY and sabotage of our time, being perpetrated by our own brothers in the media houses, writing all manner of junks and destructive articles against their own people. If you are in doubt of this, just go and verify. You will be disappointed at most of the articles published by Premium Times, The Nations Newspaper, Channels Television, Punch Newspaper, Vanguard News and Sahara Reporters. These media houses have most destructive and disgusting articles, written by either Igbomen or Igbowomen, grossly compromised to ridicule and sellout their own people. Why are we like this? Why are we delightedly fishing out evil to ourselves? Why are we destroying ourselves? 

Uniformed Igbo police officers and men are pleasurably destroying their brothers and sisters. Igbo politicians are falling over one another, destroying their own people whom that are meant to be ably represented. But they have very shamelessly, become the enemie, serving the interest of the Fulani oligarchy. Sokoto caliphate is joyfully supervising the destruction of the lives of the Igbos using Igbo political elites as willing tools to accomplish their desire. Why this selfishness among the Igbos?
 
Our governors are killing their own brothers to equally please their Fulani overlords with bitter hatred just to curry favor from them notwithstanding the long term consequences. Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State had boasted of Killing the family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who are his own brothers and sisters. He also stated that he was going to do it over and over again simply because of the crass interest of the Fulani Caliphate. This is really becoming most disgracing, unbearable and nauseating precedence that must be confronted. Very  thankful to Chukwu Okike Abiama (God Almighty) today, for the emergence of the "Unknown Gunmen" who have come to dispense justice by giving them back what they secretively planned for their fellow Igbos. We must also note that we are in this struggle for freedom all together and we need to fight alongside each other as one. “Onye aghana nwanne ya” (Abandon not your own)!
