Who Really Is In Charge Of Enugu State: Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi Or CP Ahmed Abdulrahman?
02:37 - 9 Comments
The grossly malfunctional Nigerian constitution of 1999 as amended was concocted for the singular interest of the Fulani oligarchy. The embedded oppression policy of indigenous people groups as crafted by one Professor Auwalu Yadudu and directed by former Nigerian military despot, retired General Abdulsalami Abubakar, the state governors in Nigeria, inclusive of Enugu state, which command the status of Chief Security Officers, most of the times, leave much to be desired by critical assessment in functionalities.
The deficient constitution conferred on governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, by this write up primarily, the absolute power to receive information concerning the security of Enugu state, get analysis of situations on the ground from security experts, with the police department totally inclusive. He then directs the security agencies on the modalities to tackle whatever security challenge that could constitute threat to public peace or imminent danger of breakdown of law and order.
Unfortunately, the reverse has become the case where the Police Commissioner, Ahmed Abdulrahman has to undermine the constitutional powers of the state governor, Right Honorable Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
The Police Commissioner despitefully usurped and discharged the executive orders of the state governor by arrogating to himself, the powers to make the operational use of the State Joint Task Force (JTF), drawn from the Navy, Air Force, Army and Police amongst others, without the prior consent and approval of the State Governor who constituted and funds the Joint Task Force (JTF), in the first instance, for his discretional use in case of emergency security challenges.
In view of the foregoing, the office and the constitutional powers of the Enugu state governor, Mr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, have blatantly been demeaned and ridiculed by the police commissioner. Ahmed Abdulrahman has absolutely no such power at his disposal, to make operational use of the state JTF without the consent and approval of the Enugu State Chief Security Officer.
It is only a prerogative right of the governor to order the use of the State Joint Task Force (JTF), into an action when there seems to be a serious security situation in any part of the state which includes violent riots, insurgency or any form of breakdown of law and order, which may be beyond the control of the police, civil defense and other para-military organizations. But primarily because the Enugu Police Commissioner, Ahmed Abdulrahman has illicitly arrogated to himself, the powers of the office of the state governor for the execution of sinister agenda, ordered the use of the JTF which is solely constituted for the governor's personal use in his capacity and discretion, only when there arises the need.
To this end however, one begins therefore to wonder why the same security agencies swiftly took to the use of force without the prior knowledge and approval of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, to massacre peaceful, unarmed Igbo (Biafran) youths in Emene, Enugu, by the gravely lawless and unprofessional Police Commissioner, Ahmed Abdulrahman. He had arrogantly snubbed the same governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in April 2016 when he (governor) called on the police, to arrest the security threat posed by the marauding Fulani killer herdsmen (terrorists) that carried out the heinous killing of Biafrans in Ukpabi, Nimbo with absolutely no action to that effect even up till date. But this same Fulani Police Commissioner, with swift response to orchestrated plot to a terminate the Igbos, gathered his armed team and grievously massacred twenty one (21) Igbo youths in Emene, Enugu, without established/convincing reasons.
As this Enugu State Police Command has proudly demonstrated that it has a religious, tribal, generically biased and lawless man at the helm of it's affairs, a man that has totally lost respect and civility for constituted authorities, such should be shown the right way out of Igboland. His services are no longer needed. As for the government of Enugu State whose office has been ridiculed by this heinous police commissioner, it is up to the Justice Ministry and the Attorney-General of the State, to expedite necessary actions on the matter. The good people of Enugu State do not in anyway, need the services of an just man to be at the helm of affairs law enforcement therein.

Nigeria: Family Writers Press Fact Finding Journey To Idumuje Ugboko Kingdom, Delta State
02:03 - 4 Comments
Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko left and Billionaire Ned Nwoko right |
The Media was awash on 18th July 2020, with the news of the abduction of Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko of Idumuje Ugboko Kingdom in Aniocha North LGA of Delta state by the alleged Fulani herdsmen.
Other sources said it was actually an arrest allegedly perfected by the Nigeria police.
Owing to the conflicting news being peddled by many online media, Family Writers Press International went to investigate and know what actually transpired. The journey took Family Writers correspondents to the Ancient Palace of Idumuje Ugboko kingdom.
Family Writers correspondents arrived Idumuje Ugboko around 2pm in the afternoon of 25th July, 2020. It was indeed an ancient Palace, with carvings done with red mud on it's walls. It left an aura of ancient beauty. The Palace security man on duty told Family Writers Press correspondents that the Palace have existed for more than 300 years.
It is also important to note that security has been beefed up in the Palace due to the incident that occurred on 18th July, 2020.
Vanguard publication of 23rd July, 2020 tittled "Recent Arrest of Prince Chukwunonso Nwoko – A Notch Closer To Peace And Justice In Idumuje-Ugboko" referred to Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko, as a self-acclaimed monarch of Idumuje-Ugboko. This left the impression that the sacred throne of Idumuje Ugboko is under contention.
According to Vanguard "Impartial analysts have always maintained that the resolution of the seemingly intractable crises in Idumuje-Ugboko lies, not in the struggle for the throne, nor in the land acquisition for the Stars University but on the speedy execution of justice in the serial murder allegations hanging on the neck of Prince Chukwunonso Nwoko. The arrest of Prince Nonso Nwoko further reinforced the belief that the throne of Idumuje-Ugboko was illegally sequestered and that it's occupant defied the wishes of the people over whom he pretends to reign. Prince Nonso Nwoko’s interrogation for nine hours before he was released also demystified the assumed mystique of infallibility that surrounded the Idumuje-Ugboko Prince. As the sages say, when a god begins to overreach himself, it is necessary to show him the wood with which it was carved."
One thing that is very certain from the Vanguard publication of 23rd July 2020 is that the publication was sponsored against the Obi of Idumuje Ugboko. The publication stated the following;
* That Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko is not the rightful heir apparent to the throne of Idumuje Ugboko kingdom.
* That there is an ongoing Land dispute in Idumuje Ugboko kingdom.
* That a sponsored murder case is hanging on the neck of Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko.
Family Writers Press correspondents met the Obi of Idumuje Ugboko in high spirit in his Palace. Apart from the Royalty that is written all over him, he is also as simple and cheerful as ever. Family Writers Press wanted the Obi to react on the said vanguard publication of 23rd July 2020. But the Obi said that he is not ready to talk to the press yet.
When Family Writers correspondents pressed the Obi on the Vanguard publication where he was referred to as acclaimed traditional ruler of Idumuje Ugboko kingdom, he then had a change of mind and broke his silence.
Obi Chukwunonso Nwoke told Family Writers Press International that "there is no struggle for the Obiship in this Kingdom. It is hereditary. It is transfered from Father to the first son. The day my late father was buried, immediately I was installed. So there is no struggle for the throne of IDUMUJE UGBOKO Kingdom". He concluded.
On a lighter note he added. "Maybe Uwadiegwu wanted you people to see my face, and you have seen it". (Everyone in the reception laughed, including the Obi.)
When Family Writers Press correspondents left the Palace, they decided to make some inquiries as to understand what actually transpired from an independent source. Family Writers Press members met an Akwa Ibom man who told us he has been living and doing Business for a very long time in Idumuje Ugboko.
According to him, the case is between the Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko and the Billionaire Ned Nwoke. He said that the King was summoned by the police, which the King didn't honour resulting to the arrest by the police.
He told us that Obi Chukwunonso according to the tradition is the true heir apparent to the throne, that the issue is about land dispute between the people which Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko represents and Ned Nwoko.
And about the murder cases, our sources told Family Writers Press that the two factions involved fought each other resulting to some persons losing their lives.
Our Observations Concerning Idumuje Ugboko Saga are as follows;
**Following the Royal crises in Idumuje Ugboko, Aniocha North, Delta State it is clear that some highly powerful opposition are secretly picking up fights against the current Obi Of the Kingdom.
**Family Writers Press can authoritatively with all the forensic evidences at hand say that the Obi Chukwunonso Nwoko is according to tradition, the rightful heir to the throne of Idumuje Ugboko kingdom.
**The accusations of murder levelled against the Obi although still under investigation by the Delta State Police but seemed sponsored by unknown individuals.
**The Obi Confirmed His Arrest Which appeared that the individuals that plotted his arrest are also indirectly gravitating towards his dethronement.
**In reactions from the residents of Idumuje Ugboko confirmed that the Obi is the people's choice despite some kind of intimidation emanating from a supposed opposition.
**Family Writers Press observed that the Community is calm, conducive and peaceful in looks after the desecration suffered by the throne of Idumuje Ugboko kingdom.
** That whether the Obi is being opposed because of land or throne, the fact remains he is being intimidated by some very rich and powerful individuals.
**From the look of things and from Prince Nonso Nwoko's speech during the interview, the Palace is under siege.
**According to the Security Guard who first attended to the Family Writers Press Correspondents who visited the Palace, He Said "Who Is That Man That Dropped you gentlemen over there?" And When We Replied He then added; "If He Is A Good Man He would have taken you both into the Palace".
**It appears that anyone who steps into the palace is taken to be a suspect following the critical situation surrounding the Kingdom and the throne.
** It is a case of money and political power against the tradition of the people.

Live Radio Broadcast Of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, On Sunday 14th June, 2020
05:28 - 0 Comments
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu |
* We must preach this gospel in every truth and honesty because anybody who is unfortunate to be part of the zoo called Nigeria, has become a laughing stock all over the world. The better the zoo comes to an end, the better for everybody.
* The last time in history of what is presently happening in the zoo, happened in Spain during the dark ages. We are living through this era of Fulani infammy and that is why they can bring in an impostor in place of the dead Muhammadu Buhari to Aso Rock.
* And an 80 years old man all of a sudden, has become a 30 years young boy, in a country with 200 million people including religious leaders, elders and professors in various degrees None could rise up and speak out against the evil act of bringing in an impostor to replace the dead Buhari.
* Nigeria is a very terrible experiment that has gone very wrong. It is going back to the dark ages instead, and the Fulani janjaweed are responsible for this.
* Those who are handling this whole Buhari saga was Abba Kyari and his group and when he died, our Yoruba friends began to say he was a defacto President. Now, Aisha Buhari has taken over.
* I told you that Yemi Osinbajo was missing. What is happening today? Have you heard from him giving live address? They were busy doing fake videos. Everybody knows that Nigeria is not working.
* I want the Yorubas to know that holding late Obafemi Awolowo in high esteem is a very big mistake and they must know this. Awolowo and Yakubu Gowon presided over the death of over five million Biafrans and nobody wants to talk about it. Now we are talking about it and we will continue talking about it.
* Abomination is happening inside Aso Rock as I am talking to you now. We have Imams, we have Pastors and we have Elders and yet, the truth cannot be spoken. You pay your tithes with all the biblical nonsense, telling sinners to come and repent while you are worst than the sinners. Pastors in Nigeria are evil. You are there and you saw the 30 years old boy they gave to you as 80 years old man and you are there pretending. You claim you are a PhD holder, you claim you are a professor and knowledgeable but you cannot ask those in Aso Rock, why are you doing this.
* You have Yoruba Pastors in Pentecostalism, you have Imams in Islam but you are all bunch of hypocrites.
* When a whiteman paints Lucifer with black color, they are only trying to deflect the state of the consciousness of the blackman.
* The worst people you have in the zoo called Nigeria, are the pastors because they are worst than the serpent. If you wake up in the morning and say you are going to church, if you die, you are going to hell direct. Because the message you are receiving is from the messengers of darkness.
* Are you telling me that Pastor E.A. Adeboye is not seeing that little boy in Aso Rock? Are you telling me that the man I respect so much, Pastor T.B. Joshua will tell me that the little boy there is Muhammadu Buhari?
* Those of you that will go and jump and clap inside fraud and want God to bless you, while your heart is full of deceit, how is that possible?
* We are going to shock them and I am assuring you that.
* If you do not know that Buhari is dead, may God have mercy on your soul.
* Write it down, one day Fulani will take over Yorubaland. Mark it down somewhere and it will happen.
* Anybody telling you that Nnamdi Kanu is insulting you, know it very well that such a person is your strong enemy.
* I have come into today's topic which is RACISM.
* Joe Biden of the Democrats in America, is a racist and the democrats are your real enemies. Do you know that Joe Biden introduced legislative racism?
* I want you to examine the flag of Nigeria and let us make a case study. What is BLACK in Latin? Black is 'Nigga'. It also means 'Negro'. It means 'Niger' in French. All these mean dark or black. Go to google and make a research. In America, anything black or Niger means ill omen. And this is how foolish you are by bearing a name that means terror and mourning.
* When are bearing a name....black, how do you expect National Electricity Power Authority (NEPA), to give you electric power supply?
* What does the Bible say about the name, Nigeria? Biblical meaning of Nigeria is a place that is dark.
* Now let us consider the meaning of WHITE. White means purity and light.
* I want someone to google the color psychology of black. According to color psychology, these are the characteristics of black. It absorbs all light in the color spectrum. Black is often used as a symbol of menace or evil but it is also popular as an indicator of power..... Black is associated with death and mourning in many cultures.
* I want everyone to google search 'Sambation'. In the earliest references, such as the Targum Pseudo-Jonathan, the river is given no particular attributes but later, literature claims that it rages with rapids and throws up stones six days a week or even consists entirely of stones, sand and flame. For this six days, the Sambation becomes impossible to cross but it stops flowing every Shabbat, the day Jews are not allowed to travel. Some writers say, this is the origin of the name.
* The same way, we have Biafra in the Afara region of Ethiopia.
* A whiteman doing research in America testified that Biafrans had the first written constitution in the whole world. The Igbos had the first democracy of self governance in the world. They were leading their people in due process of government with fairness. The whites knew all these and they are not happy.
* Biafrans are the oldest of the oldest (Ndigbooo) and Biafra was the centre of civilization in the entire universe. There are two sets of people God sent into this world to develop the earth and these are the Israelites and the Biafrans.
* Biafra is the kingdom of God on this very planet earth. We were doing greater in terms of technology than the Americans, the Chinese and what the Japanese are doing today before it was stolen from us.
* Biafra will save Africa and restore back the world to it's original civilization. This is the sole aim of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
* Your name is Chidimma, Chigozie and you prefer answering Isabella. What does that show to you about the brain of the blackman?
* I now come to the issue of Niger Delta. Pa Edwin Clarke wrote a letter to 'Buhari', telling Mr. President how he served the South-South region of Nigeria for seventy (70) years. But my question to Edwin Clarke is: What have your people benefited in your 70 years of service? And you are begging the boy in Aso Rock to come and intervene over the poor conditions of your so-called Niger Delta people.
* Pa Edwin Clarke connived with the Fulani and betrayed former President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan and now, you are begging the North for infrastructures in your community. Edwin Clarke is a traitor just like Ken Saro-Wiwa did to sabotage Biafra. But I promise you, no one sabotaging Biafra will go unpunished.
* Edwin Clarke, do you not see what is happening in the North, how major and minor projects and infrastructures are going on in Daura?
* Edwin Clarke must know that he will not go unpunished. I pray you will be alive to see Biafraland pay you dearly for your atrocities.
* Do you think Ike Ekweremmadu wants Biafra to come, with all the money he has stolen? When Biafra comes, which contract is he going to hijack? So you can never expect them to be part of what we are doing, Never!
* The zoo has come to an end! And we are coming to the end of tonight's broadcast.
* Bukola Adebayo is CNN correspondent in Nigeria, so they will never write or show anything about Biafra. These are the people that Satan is using to suppress the truth so that this freedom will not emerge. Yoruba is created to hate the Igbos. And our people in Nollywood are talking nonsense instead of promoting their culture.
ANNOUNCEMENT
* This very evening, I am announcing that every IPOB family unit in the world, because we going to bypass the Yoruba media, every Biafran and friends of Biafra, must download twitter application in the next four weeks. We are going to launch a twitter campaign. We are going to appoint Twitter Media attached to every family unit in the whole world. Their job is ever. Where you see a Biafran with a smart phone, ensure you download twitter app for such a person.
* You must follow me @MaziNnamdiKanu twitter page and you must follow each other. That is how we shall collapse the zoo called Nigeria, we need critical hands. I am telling you that twitter is even more potent than Facebook.
* Everybody must be on twitter especially those of you in America.
* And this evening as well, I must clarify the hierarchy or our structure in IPOB, very important so that we must understand. IPOB starts with a family meeting, a small unit and from the unit, you get to a zone. Every four units can then form a zone as the case may be. Ten units can also make up a zone. A zone is headed by a Zonal Coordinator.
* In Biafraland, we have Local Government Area Coordinator, Senatorial Coordinator, National Coordinator, Regional Coordinator, and then, we have Continental Coordinator, Directorate of State, Office of the Deputy Leader and then, myself, the Leader.
* And this evening, I cannot thank you enough for persevering and listening. They are many things I would have touched but let me leave them for another time. This evening, I must say that it gives me an honor, serving you and this truth must continue to be preached.
* Thank you all for listening and from me, from here, it is good evening!

Biafra: Allow us To Try - Tari Nemi An Izon Activist Berates Izon Elders
04:45 - 3 Comments
In his strong worded open letter of refutal to the misleading claims by some Izon elders/leaders regarding their disappointing statements about their identity vis-a-vis the Biafra restoration question, the revolutionary writer, freedom activist and refined teacher - Tari Nemi, definitively stated: "Your generation tried and failed, now our generation wants to try, yet your generation would not allow us. Many of you with the exception of few like Mama Annkio Briggs (even though we still disagree on opinions), are not doing anything to see us free and soon you will leave this world for us still in slavery, God forbids"!
"During your days as youths, you guys had better days in Nigeria and enjoyed a little but our days are filled with hardship and brutality, yet you would not want us to try. When many of you were in our ages, you were already leaders of industries and governments and till today, most of you still occupy such positions leaving the majority of us to scramble for the crumbs and we are fighting hard to liberate ourselves, yet you would not let us fight our enemies in peace".
Continuing, Tari Nemi said: "Yes, you have experience and you have told us your experience, would you not allow us be the judge? What makes you feel that our generation cannot make better decisions for ourselves after hearing your stories?".
"Success has no judge. If your decisons of old were right, we would not be born to correct the mistakes you made. Yes, you made mistakes because if you did not, we would have been free people today, not living in fear of Fulani herdsmen militia attacking us in the middle of the night".
The revolutionary writer factually stressed further in the letter saying: "I am tired of hearing, 'you inexperienced youth'. You are not God and so, you are not infallible. All you preach to us is fear of the Igboman yet in our generation, beyond the ethnic groups in the so-called Niger Delta, only the Igbos have showed us love as a family".
"Our generation will continue to agitate for our freedom through Biafra with an alliance of documented agreement binding us, a feat you could not do with any group you supported with your lives in the past. Isaac Adaka Boro aligned with the Fulanis without any agreement and met his death in the hands of the Yorubas who got an agreement with the Fulanis. This is our lives, so let us do what we know is right".
He defiantly continued: "We must preach the freedom Biafra brings to every Ijaw man and they must all make their decisions for themselves. Gone are the days when few decide for many. Today Ijaw National Congress (INC), is far more disorganized than the Ijaw Youth Congress (IYC) yet, INC was supposed to be the elders group of Izon nation guiding IYC. Yet, it seems IYC should be guiding them. If INC which is your generation cannot organize themselves as elders, why should we trust your judgements as youths which you want to force on our throats today? If Biafra can let me have 100% resource control in Ijaw nation and autonomy, what else am I struggling for?".
The prolific writer further queried: "If I should not have to bother whether an Igboman will dominate any business and market because in Ijaw nation, he must co-own any business he wants to do with a fellow Ijawman, why should I fear? If the Igboman is ready to die with me in struggling for freedom and live peacefully with me afterwards, why should I bother? Igbos are the majority in Igweocha (Port Harcourt), yet some of us love Port Harcourt more than our State capital, Yenegoa (Bayelsa). So if Igbos are not good people to live with, why have we not fought with them or have any reason to fight with them?".
"We keep talking of how Igbos cannot be trusted, yet we have fought with all our neighbors against injustice including Yoruba in Lagos but we have never fought with the Igbos, why? Is it not because they are peaceful people who would not take what is not theirs? An Igboman will insult you but thebFulani will kill you, yet some of you our elders will tell us that a Fulani man is better than an Igboman not minding that the Fulani will take you to stone age while the Igbo will industrialize your village".
"Please think about this and let us make our mistakes, it might just be the right thing because a man which makes the mistakes of his father, is a FOOL who will not live to see the glory of his son", Tari Nemi conclusively admonished.

2020 BIAFRA DAY : IPOB DECLARES 3-DAY GLOBAL PRAYERS
08:50 - 1 Comments
We, the global and indefatigable family of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the prophet and liberator of our time, wish to announce to the people of Biafra, friends of Biafra, enemies of Biafra, lovers of freedom, as well as the world that Biafrans will remember and commemorate our fallen heroes and heroines who made the supreme sacrifice for us to live , on 30th of May 2020.
After much consideration and deliberations IPOB high command decided to urge Biafrans both home and in the diaspora, observe this year's rememberance and celebration of our brothers and sisters who were killed and starved to death during the genocidal war on the peaceful land of Biafra by Nigeria government and her foreign allies including Britian, Egypt, USSR and Czechs Republic between 1967 and 1970, through fasting and prayers. The programme for this year's event, will last for three days from 27th to 30th of May, 2020.
This year's episode and event will start with prayers and end with prayers. There will also be candle processions at every state, LGA, ward and church in our land. It is very imperative that our people observe these great days for those who paid ultimate price and sacrificed their youthful lives for our own lives to be today. This great event will start on 27th and end on 30th of May.
There won't be any sit- at -home or indoors because our people stayed much days at home during the coronavirus lockdown. IPOB wouldn't like to bother people with another lockdown in form of sit-at -home.
This year's anniversary will begin with reading of Psalms of David from chapter 1 to the last chapter. Every individual and group(s) should observe this year"s prayer designed to remember our fallen heroes and heroines who paid the ultimate price for our living.
Nigeria government and her partners in crime decided to wipe out the whole race but God Almighty in Heaven, 'Chukwu Okike Abiama' said no to that through these our brethren who sacrificed their lives for us to live.
Therefore, IPOB families and Biafrans across countries of the world are encouraged to use this year's anniversary to pray for all our fallen heroes including all those who were killed by the overzealous Nigeria security personnel in the course of the renewed quest to restore Biafra.
We shall also use this year's event to pray for divine protection of all Biafrans everywhere on the surface of the earth against the covid-19 pandemic ravaging the world. We shall also pray for the speedy recovery of all those infested with the scourge, and for immediate end of the global pandemic.

Live Broadcast Of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu On Radio Biafra On Sunday 24th May 2020

* I will start this evening by dissecting the character of an Igbo person. Before I came up in the studio this evening, I saw a video of a barrier built in Onitsha head bridge against the movement of Biafrans within Biafraland. I condemn such because governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State and other governors in Biafraland should have built such at Biafra borders at Igbanke, Igala, Ogoja and other places.
* I have earlier warned the South-Eastern governors and Igbo elites around the world including America, that the Fulanis were coming to attack us but they did not care to listen to me. This same way also, Professor Ejiofor, the President-General of World Igbo Congress (WIC), is presently doing in the United States of America but it seems most people do not want to understand.
* I saw what governor Willie Obiano did today in Onitsha and I felt sorry for the brain of black people. Look at how sad our condition is today because the people do not understand history.
* These people do not know their history. They turned Igweocha to Port Harcourt. There is a place in Igweocha where they named a village after the only surviving daughter in a family. This is not done in Igboland.
* Fifty (50) years after the war, not even a minute has been set aside by Nigeria to remember those that died during the 1967-1970 war. But even when I tried to host one in Enugu and as I was trying to build a cenotaph, Ralph Uwazuruike sabotaged the effort because he knew that will expose his evil deeds against the restoration of Biafra.
* Enemies have surrendered Biafraland. There is influx of Fulani Almajiris from the North and now exactly what happened during the war of 1967 is repeating itself. Today, you are in America doing video on the internet.
* Biafrans in America are very selfish and stupid. Do you know that I traveled down to Baltimore in the United States of America few months ago to address Biafrans on the need to start contributing one (1) dollar per month towards Biafra Foundation but none of them has contributed anything simply because of jealousy and envy against Nnamdi Kanu.
* Before Covid-19, I told them to contribute just only one dollar but they have refused. Since I went there, they only contributed a total sum of thirty seven thousand (37,000) dollars in the whole of USA. But my question is, what can such amount do in preparing our people back home against the Fulani attack?
* Biafra is coming and when it comes, we shall deal with those useless Biafrans living in America. I promise them that and they should have it in mind. All the saboteurs in America can never return to Biafraland after we are free.
* If I wanted to sell this struggle, I would have done it in DSS custody. They came promising heaven and earth and I said no. They came when I came out of prison and I said no. Is it now that I will sell you?
* I need nothing from anybody. Once Biafra is restored, I will retire.
* This week, we shall be remembering those that died because of this noble cause. On the 30th of May 2020, there will be no movement from morning hours till 12 noon. We shall read from the book of Psalm, from Chapters 1 to 150. We shall observe fasting and prayer from 27th and round it up on the 30th.
* In Ogbunike, the President-General of that town has sold out large acres of land to the Fulani people. The Ogbunike Eze-in-Council (late Chuka Okadigbo's town), is busy selling our land to Fulani cattle herders. Do you know there is a Fulani native doctor in Ogbunike? Videos and other evidences abound.
* Despite the killings by the Fulanis in Uzo-uwani in Enugu, this idiots called Ohaneze Ndigbo and the Enugu governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, did nothing to fight for justice but rather, they are all complicit in the matter. Nnia Nwodo is leading Igbos but does not know anything about leadership and the meaning Igbo he is leading.
* Last year 2019, Nnia Nwodo and Ohaneze Ndigbo made a publication against Igbo youths. The President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo said "Some Igbo miscreants hide under herdsmen's atrocities to kidnap and kill innocent people". Do you see why I disrespect the so-called Igbo leaders?
* In a country where there is no President, there is no Vice President, what remains is anarchy. After all, they are busy trying to install Mr. Adamu, as the new Chair of Interpol. They may be wondering how I managed to know, but I will shock them with most of their secrets I know which must be unveiled in due time.
* I told you live on air that Abba Kyari was on a life-support machine in Cuba. I told you that, that thing in Aso Rock will not speak. I told you that Jubril will not come out to address Nigerians on this Covid-19 pandemic but you all saw with your own eyes, that it was all about recorded broadcasts.
* Elohim (Almighty God), is highly involved in this our restoration project. God told me that He would give us Biafra but that Nigeria must be destroyed before my own very eyes. There is a lesson to teach every Biafran person and that punishment is through the present attack by the Fulani herdsmen.
* Aisha Buhari must go to prison. She must be in jail. They do not know us. They do not know IPOB. They do not know what we are up to.
* During the war, there were blockcades on land, air and sea. They were busy killing and starving the innocent souls of Biafra. When Biafra comes, we shall do everything at our reach to change the death of the innocent.
* That thing you saw in the picture today, does it look like Buhari to you? All of you have become deaf and dumb, no one is talking. It is only one courageous woman like the late Dr. Mrs. Dora Akunyili and she will always have my respect.
* The PANDEF and Niger Delta nonsense make me upset. You said Niger Delta, does that make sense to you? Upon all your oil and resources, yet none of it is being controlled by you. I hate Chief Edwin Clark and his so-called Niger Delta leaders. A Niger Delta man said Igboman is his problem but yet, the whole Nigeria is being controlled and managed by the Fulanis. Not even any Ijaw or Ikwerre man, is employed or opportuned to work in NNPC. You were chasing away the Igbos from NNPC and today, do you have Urhobo, Itsekiri, Isoko and Ijaw in NNPC?
* But I am here to tell you that Biafra is not about oil and gas, even though we have large deposits of crude oil in the South-East. Niger Delta one-Nigeria, look at where it has led you to.
* If you call yourself Niger Delta, God will punish you. But do you know that PANDEF wrote a letter to the Federal Government of Nigeria, saying that the South-East also has oil and the content of the letter contains only the names of South-South governors. Not even one name of the South-East governors whose State has crude oil as acknowleged, was included. The word Niger Delta, is a curse and if you say you are a Niger Delta, I despise you totally.
* I need nothing from anybody once Biafra is restored. I will retire.
* Anybody telling me Port Harcourt, I will block him and his articles will be blocked. Igweocha is the right name and not Port Harcourt because you cannot go to anywhere in whiteman's country and name it Port-Okereke.
* Isoko is Biafraland. Are you aware of that? Go and do your research.
* Is there anybody in Opobo that does not understand Igbo language?
* All these territorial areas of Biafraland are one. We all have common cultural values, our women/mothers tie two piece wrappers on blouse top and on scarf. When Biafra comes, we shall put everything in place.
* We shall conduct a plebiscite (referendum), to determine those who want to join Biafra even after it has been restored. This will help to determine the complete and exact map of the Biafran nation.
* I am now giving you an order tonight. Whenever you see a Pastor telling you to pray for one-Nigeria, you must stone him to death, it is an order. Yoruba Pastors are evil. Your daddy General Overseers are one-Nigerianists.
* Where is Professor Yemi Osinbajo? I have asked them this question consecutively but yet, they have not provided him. Rather, one Boss Mustapha is now in-charge of Aso Rock.
* Recently, I discovered that late Abba Kyari has been appointing various officers into the presidency.
* It is a collective effort. Those in America and we all, must come together and defend our land.
* Listen to these people here on social media broadcast. They are our people and are doing a good job.

We Are IPOB! We Have No Friends And We Have No Enemies---Says Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
03:35 - 0 Comments
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) globally, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, laid bare, the organization's position, on the resoluteness and uncompromising principle of both the leadership and membership on traits/acts of subterfuge. He maintained unequivocally that IPOB is a unique movement that is holistically given to the total freedom of Biafra and her people, the cost nonetheless. He came hard on saboteurs, snitches and traitors both within and without, who relentlessly scheme to sabotage the Biafran cause. He stated that the criminal activities of these people only bring out the best in IPOB, emboldening the membership into defiantly remaining focused and determined in their avowed resolve to achieving set objectives. He took a hard swipe on both the compromising members and outside attackers, warning that dire consequences of life time regrets await them .
Hear him: "We do not appeal or build bridges with saboteurs and traitors. To us, they are as irrelevant and inconsequential as Yoruba e-rats on three thousand (3,000) naira weekly data stipend. Saboteurs strengthen us with their treachery. If you sabotage the sacred project of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), you will be kicked out from the family. You will be shredded and destroyed and sometimes, worst things will happen to you if we catch you".
"There is no forgiveness, no pardon, no pity, no diplomacy, no bridge building. Once you are out, you are an outcast forever. From as many useless pro-Biafran groups as you, like with the help of Department of Security Services (DSS) or Ohaneze Ndi-oshi, you can gossip as much as you like with your multiple fake Facebook accounts, you will never be allowed back in".
"We tolerate petty saboteurs to keep coming forward because it makes it easier for us to destroy them. The more dangerous ones are those in our midst, pretending but are working for the enemy. Any IPOB family member appealing to the online traitors to stop hating Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, is mentally weak. IPOB was forged in the heat of battles and purified in the furnace of ceaseless confrontation for eight good years. Bridge building with traitors is for the confused and for the unfocused.
We are IPOB. We conquer and subdue our "enemies" with overwhelming evidence and incontrovertible proof. We down them in the pool of truth".
"We love trouble, enmity and confrontation because we believe and know that enemies within and without are good for us, the same way good immune system can only be built by the body confronting viruses and bacteria on regular basis. We are arrogant, yes! This is because IPOB is the best there is, in the whole world. An unarmed group that broke a country with nothing but TRUTH. If as a frontline activist, you mistakenly think that our love and praise of your work for Biafra means that we are gullible and can be divided, then we show you who we are. Any day you step out of line, you become a toast. We would sink you because many have died, imprisoned and tortured for this Biafra. We are like the "vulture", we have no friends, we have no enemies. We only love those that pursue Biafra in truth and honesty. Once you deviate, then it's bye-bye, no matter who you think you are", he pointedly concluded.
IPOB as an organization, remains untaintedly forthright in it's pursuit and can never shift an inch from it's divinely ordained assignment for the sake any mortal.

Africa: Ojukwu is not here but Biafra is alive
06:31 - 0 Comments
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu left and Late Ikemba Ojukwu right |
The indefatigable leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) globally, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has said that the emergence of the late tyrannical Army General, Muhammadu Buhari as the President of Nigeria under the All Progressive Congress party-led administration, is a veritable pathway through which Biafra will re-emerge as a nation. He pointedly made this statement during his live broadcast on Radio Biafra, transmitted globally from it's London base on Sunday 10th May, 2020.
He declared: "As ChukwuOkike Abiama promised us and as was revealed to me in the year 2014, I was told that Buhari is the key to our freedom. And I preached it on this very hallowed platform and I said that this very dictator, this brutal, evil, wicked, mass murderer, is our passport to freedom and today, it has happened. The zoo (as he normally refers Nigeria to), has collapsed completely and totally, there is nothing holding it!".
The IPOB leader further stated that Biafra restoration was only a matter of months away and that when he went to Aba for the 30th of May (Biafra Heroes and Heroines Remembrance Day) 2015, he had proclaimed during that very rally under spiritual guidance of heaven, that Nigeria must fall and today, it has fallen. He maintained that it was the very prophecy of a certain Yoruba pastor that stated the crumbling of Nigeria if the government failed to pay heed to the warning. That prophecy was even made while he was yet unlawfully incarcerated in the Nigerian prison.
He proceeded to play the audio clip of the pastor who had foretold the coming of Biafra. The message read thus: "You cannot fight an 'ideology'. Ideology is like a spirit. You cannot use guns and bullets to stop an ideology. You rather engage it with wisdom. The only bullet that can kill an ideology is the bullet of knowledge. Wisdom! Wisdom!! The only way to deal with an ideology is to go back to the founder of the ideology and reprogram the ideology and stand at the central processing unit of the ideology, make sure it is rightfully corrected. If you remove the leader, have you removed the ideology? There are crazy Nnamdi Kanus that will come up after Nnamdi, they are just hiding under him. The only way to kill this, is not by gun and bullet, it is by engaging with programmed dialogue, with knowledge and wisdom. This cry we are hearing here is not a cry of children. It is a cry of adults! The only way, the best way to handle this, is to listen to the cries of the people. Everything is not gun and bullet.
When you take their leader away, okay, take the leader away! The best and many people are still out there on the streets. Do you know how many spirits of Biafra that have entered into the people? Do you know how many millions of people that carry the spirit of Biafra around? If you kill or you take their leader away, are you going to remove the spirit from everybody? Ojukwu is not here but Biafra is alive. Biafra is an ideology! The man who started it has left. Before he left, he kept quiet and lived peacefully and left, but the generation that has come, has picked it up and it is even worse than his own now. They are engaging it with knowledge. The best way to deal with this is not by guns and bullets.....the issue of Biafra is very spiritual.....".
Revealing the true state of the Nigerian leadership presently, Kanu affirmed that there is neither a President nor a Vice, running the country. He stated that the reason why they are now using the word: "Presidency" which actually is an indication that Nigeria is being run by a certain group of people known as the cabals and not the Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari or his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo. He then rhetorically asked: "Now, why are you answering 'Presidency' in Nigeria? The reason why you are answering Presidency in Nigeria is because, there is no President. Presidency is a group of people, a cabal! It was introduced under Abba Kyari. I want all of you to go back to 2015 and 2016, it is an assignment. Write it down on a piece of paper. Also go back to 2013, 2014, 2015; go back from Obasanjo's time, go through every statement issued, every publication issued and count how many times under Obasanjo, under Yar'Adua, under Jonathan, that the word ‘Presidency’ was used to describe the Nigerian President. Go and ask or check! This fashion of 'Presidency' only came in, with this liberal, it came with them!".
Recall that the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has many times, publicly declared Buhari dead on Radio Biafra platform. According to him, Buhari died since 14th February 2017 and buried in Saudi Arabia. But due to the treachery of the Nigerian leaders, they conspired to conceal it and get the dead Buhari replaced with an impostor named Jubril Al-Sudani (a man from Sudan), using a hyper reality face mask and a certain deep fake technology, to continue to lie to gullible Nigerians so that power will still remain in the North till 2023. Further elaborating on the program called "Deep Fake" technology that the Aso Rock cabals are using to deceive Nigerians, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu presented an evidential video clip which he posted on his Facebook page for the whole world to see. The video clip portrays an actor impersonating the former United States President, Barrack Obama, using the same 'Artificial Intelligence' (AI) program. 'Deep Fake' according to him, is a Hologram Technology invented by Chinese scientists which makes it possible for someone to impersonate another person which is really not there by just using the existing videos or pictures of the person.
Blaming Nigerians over their blunt refusal to rise up and place a demand for the whereabouts of their Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who has remained incommunicado since the ill health of Abba Kyari, the former Nigerian Chief of Staff to the President and who had played the role of a defacto President before he contracted Covid-19 and was declared dead on Friday 17th April 2020 by the "Office of the Presidency", Kanu affirmatively maintained that Aso Rock is empty. He said that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has been kidnapped and that the person running the country now, is Aisha Buhari, the wife of late Muhammadu Buhari. He also stated that because they could not find a suitable replacement for late Abba Kyari, they had to kidnap Osinbajo and then place Aisha Buhari in charge so that power will still remain in the North till the expiration of late Buhari's second tenure as the Nigerian President in 2023.
Meanwhile, according to the Nigerian Vanguard News Headline of Saturday 9th May 2020: "The Presidency Charges Nigerians To Ignore Claims On Osinbajo’s Whereabouts. "What is happening now in Nigeria is a travesty! It is a shame and a disgrace", Kanu cried out.
He said that the learned people in Yorubaland have refused to speak up against the evil/conspiracy, going on even against their own son and father, Vice President, who has been placed under house arrest by the Northern Fulani cabal just because they are too afraid that if Biafra goes, they would be left with only the Fulani people. That is why they have kept on supporting this evil that is ongoing in Nigeria.
"The only thing keeping Nigeria today is cowardice, those who are afraid to do what is right". Mazi Nnamdi Kanu further stated that the calamitous consequence of What Aisha Buhari and the rest of the cabals are doing in Nigeria, is imminent. He said that the people involved in this treacherous activities would all go to jail in due time. He reiterated that it is better that Aisha comes out clean now and clear her own name before it would be too late for her. He also said that IPOB has caged them all in the zoo (Nigeria). IPOB is like a black mamba snake, very dangerous and poisonous and that he has injected this poison of truth into the very foundation of Nigeria which has now crumbled, he further assured.
Strongly proving his claims, the erudite scholar went ahead to play an audio clip of statements from the Northern Arewa Elders Forum: "The leadership of Muhammadu Buhari has failed the nation in the area of improving the security. Poverty, particularly in the North and massive social security problems have worsened under this administration (APC led). Northern Elders Forum has been refrained from comments relating to the management of national security and governance because it is convinced that these are times which require the highest levels of responsibility and circumspection in the manner elders and the leaders of the nation contribute to the search for solution to the multiple problems which face the nation. On national security, the forum regrets that the leadership of Muhammadu Buhari has failed the nation". Kanu moreover, stated that if Buhari were to be alive, the Northern Elders Forum would not say all that about him.
Speaking on the vaccination that members of the Nigeria House of Representatives are yet debating on to pass into law, Kanu categorically warned that they should not bring such a program into Biafraland because his people do not need it. "If you bring that thing to Biafraland, we will take it and inject you with it", he thundered.
On the issue of the so-called Almajiris from the North into Biafra territory, the IPOB leader emphatically urged the South-East and South-South Governors to arise and man up to their responsibilities and do the needful by protecting the land from Fulani invasion. He made it clear that the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai is the one championing the influx of the Fulani foot soldiers on trucks as "diseased Almajiris" from the North. He stressed that their core agenda has always been to conquer and Islamise the country.
Touching on the recent statement by Ralph Uwazuruike who has been going about deceiving his credulous followers that he has secured the registration of Biafra in the United Nations through UNPO which is an Organization that is Non-Governmental (NGO), Kanu pointedly stated, is a sham. According to him, UNPO is nothing more than that which has absolutely nothing to do with the political status of Biafra. He further stated that IPOB is going straight to personalities that matter in global politics and not to some organizations that are looking for those to defraud. The IPOB leader concluded his exposé/lecture by saying that the organization which he leads, will never allow anybody whatsoever, to continue to lie to the people, using the name of Biafra. He warned Uwazuruike, the MASSOB leader, to desist forthwith from such childish lies and deceits.
The Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma was also warned to stop tasking the people of Ezinihitte Mbaise, over raising sums of money running into millions, to pay Fulani herdsmen on their alleged missing cattle. Kanu maintained that Biafrans have equally lost fortunes at it's worst and even killed in the North and in the West without anybody thinking about raising any form of compensation for them.

To the blessed memory of all ISHEAGU Indigenes (Anioma) slain by the Nigerian Army on 2ND MAY 1968
09:28 - 0 Comments
ISHEAGU MASSACRE
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
Isheagu is a town whose origin is traceable to the Eastern part of Nigeria. It consists of 7 districts (quarters) namely: Ogbetiti, Ogbeonishe, Umueze, Umuoma, Umuonichi, Isikiti and Onuiyi. It is a town with a growing population that runs into thousands. Isheagu is an Igbo speaking community, situated amongst hundreds of predominantly Igbo Biafran Indigenous ethnic nationality in the present day Delta State called "Delta Igbos" or better still, the "Aniomas". It is an integral part of Enuani clan in Aniocha-South Local Government Area, with Headquarters at Ogwashi-Uku. It is a community naturally endowed with sprawling portions of arable land, untapped crude oil deposits and other viable economic resources. It has various large fresh rivers running across it's territories with diverse kinds of fish and animal habitats. Major occupations include agricultural activities like fish farming, cultivation/production of cassava, yam, garri processing, hunting, etc. Isheagu has a retinue of reputable intellectuals who are greatly doing exploits in their various fields of endeavors across the world. The indigenes of Isheagu are exceptionally outstanding in hospitality, peacefully co-existing with non-indigenes and very blatantly abhor all traces of injustice and oppression. Prior to the Biafra/Nigeria civil war between 1967-1970, Isheagu used to be a beehive of activities socially, economically and politically.
THE MASSACRE:
On 2nd of May 1968, Isheagu was murderously invaded by a contingent of the Hausa-Fulani cum Yoruba ethnic dominated Nigerian army, led by a young commissioned officer in the rank of a Lieutenant-Colonel, late Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia, from the present day Edo State. He later became the first military governor of the old Mid-Western region in 1973 which transformed into Bendel from where Delta and Edo States of today were created. Late Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia retired as a Brigadier-General of the murderous Nigerian army. He led a detachment of the Nigerian troops from Asaba to Isheagu on what was termed "definitive intelligence report", linking Isheagu people as saboteurs. Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia and his army of vampires stormed a once peaceful and bubbling town at about 8:00pm on a commando-style invasion. They clinically rounded up His Royal Highness- late King Agbogidi Obi John Onyema I, all his Chiefs-in-Council and summarily got them executed. It was a gruesome war carried out by the Nigerian government under the arch-genocidist, General Yakubu Gowon against a relatively innocent people of Isheagu. Other indigenes especially men were picked up and killed. The sin of the community against the military government of Yakubu Gowon, was the safe haven granted the Biafran soldiers who they termed as enemies. The reckless killings continued from dawn of 3rd of May same year 1968, being Afor day, a major market day in Isheagu. The rampaging Nigerian troops shot sporadically at every moving object which claimed the lives of quite a number of the indigenes including women and children who were cut down in the cross-fire. Over 500 Isheagu citizens were gruesomely murdered, with men as predominant victims.
Amongst the 7 districts (quarters) that made up Isheagu community, only 3 namely: Umuonichi, Isikiti and Onuiyi, were not directly affected due to Riiver Iyete that separates them from the other 4 districts of Ogbetiti, Ogbeonishe, Umueze and Umuoma which were directly wrecked. The invading Nigerian army were scared crossing the river to get to their other targets.
Killed along with the king of Isheagu town, HRH late King Agbogidi Obi John Onyema I, were all the Chiefs-in-Council (Palace Chiefs) which included:
1) Chief Adianeze
2) Chief Dominic Oshagwu
3) Chief Jacob Nteh
4) Chief Nwabuokei
5) Chief Obuzor Odogwu
6) Chief Thomas Enudigwe
7) Chief Andrew Nwabudike
8) Chief Thomas Ojogwu
9) Chief Okonta Nzeagwu
10) Chief Obuzor Nwadei
11) Chief Joseph Onyeamali
12) Chief Okwuokwu Ogobueze
Survivors of this genocide, managed to escape into nearby forests, farmlands, across the rivers and few neighbouring communities. Some women and children were forcefully taken as refugees to Ogwashi-Uku by the Nigerian soldiers. When the vampires discovered that the town has been deserted, they resorted to destroying and razing down buildings. The ever bustling town of Isheagu was thereby mercilessly reduced to a ghost community.
Disheartening among all these, was the brazen acts of sabotage by some assumed friends in the neighbouring communities where some Isheagu victims sought refuge. On very insignificant misunderstandings as is common amongst mortals, the Nigerian soldiers still stationed in the "conquered town of Isheagu", would be alerted. They would get down to the spot, pick up the "male refugees" involved with their trucks to the deserted Isheagu central square at daylights and got them summarily executed in cold blood by having their throats slashed open. It was really a horrifying experience for Isheagu people.
As survivors started finding their ways back from their hideouts at the end of the civil war, they were confronted with the daunting, sorrowful and traumatic tasks of burying the remains of their loved ones. Mass graves were variously dug at different locations for burials. Debris of destroyed buildings were cleared. Scarce quantities of relief materials like machetes and roofing zincs were sent to a whole community. Lots of financial savings were lost as nothing was done in that regard to assuage the sufferings of the people. They were left to their fate for survival. Mud houses were erected by a few to accommodate returnee families through self efforts. The massively uncleared military explosives left behind by the Nigerian soldiers after the war, claimed additional casualties among returnee survivors.
Our neighbouring communities on their own parts, never showed concern for the excruciating plights Isheagu people suffered but instead cruelly and selfishly resorted to using the unfortunate opportunities occasioned by the sacking of the whole community to encroach into Isheagu lands. This has in no small measures created a near endemic inter-communal strifes prevalent in the area till date, between Isheagu and her neighbors.
It is noteworthy to state at this juncture, that since the end of the civil war in 1970, there has not been any commensurate government presence in Isheagu given as a compensation except for a General Hospital that was built in the 70s. This is a town where over 500 innocent souls were gruesomely killed by the Nigerian army under the watch of an arch-genocidist, Yakubu Gowon and his cohorts.
Isheagu people have been unjustly murdered by Nigeria and left to lick their wounds for decades of years. This painful experience will forever remain indelible in the psych of both the present and upcoming generations of Isheagu indigenes.

Justice Demanded In The Mysterious Death Of A Lebanese-based Biafran Lady
08:49 - 0 Comments
Miss Mercy Oshama Adie |
Miss Mercy Oshama Adie, a promising, young Biafran lady from Boki Local Government Area of Cross River State, Biafraland, worked as a House-Keeper for her Iranian woman employer, in Lebanon. The Iranian woman, known as Madam Sarma, had another female Philipino housekeeping employee.
Family Writers Press International, prior to her untimely death, learnt that Miss Mercy Oshama Adie, had premonitively complained about her fears, wondering why her madam would want her to travel with them (Madam Sarma and children), to the mountain on Sunday she was supposedly observe her work-free day. The planned visit to the mountain was quite unusual, surprising and suspicious. On Mercy's recorded voice note which the FWPI stumbled at, there was the revelation that the trip was billed to take place just for only one day period which was totally strange, between Saturday and Sunday night. She felt greatly troubled, not knowing the sudden and unusual reprogramming of her duty by madam Sarma.
As a Christian, Mercy committed her fate into the hands of the Almighty God, yielding to the pressure and plea of her employer. The reason behind the madam's insistence according to obtained information was for Mercy to help prepare meals for her employer's children which her Philipino counterpart lacks the ample expertise to carry out as there existed no other place to get meals for the children.
It is noteworthy to state here that Mercy Oshama Adie's contract with this woman actually elapsed in November, 2019. Being a Biafran, Mercy had desired enlisting into the family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Lebanon. But following a wise counsel, she had to shelve the idea until she returned home to Nigeria. This would have given her the opportunity to join the closest family unit to her and making her own contributions. Her madam however declined assisting her to secure her return ticket to Nigeria despite repeated pleas. It was heartwrenching to learn the following Monday that Mercy had suddenly died. This was most shocking and unbelievable because she had been hale and hearty. All efforts aimed at unraveling the cause of Mercy's death have remained shrouded. In a country like Lebanon, it is totally disappointing to note that there exist absolutely no human rights and justice. The Nigerian embassy in the country had displayed adamant lack of cooperation and assistance in the light of this ugly incident.
Further investigation by Family Writers Press International, revealed that madam Sarma's English translator/advocate (male), has known his client for more than fifteen (15) years, describing her as a woman with a "baby's heart". Madam Sarma had had Mercy Oshama Adie working with her for close to twelve (12) good years, maintaining that she was an amazing woman but that she was stubborn, refusing to go hospital. The Iranian woman claimed that the deceased was sick for about a period of one month before her death. Through her agent, she stated that Mercy blatantly refused to take medication, as she had been infected with flu just like every other members of the family that were medically treated except Mercy. She never wanted any medication neither did she agree visiting the hospital for diagnosis.
The Iranian woman employer further alleged that a day before Mercy's death, she was terribly down health wise, and despite repeated plea for her to go to the hospital, she objected. It was as they woke up from sleep the following morning, that they saw her (Mercy), lying stone dead on the floor. The Philipino house-keeper could be asked about this. "Be careful of your accusations", madam Sarma warned.
The Nigerian embassy she revealed was duly contacted at every stage, to give clear direction on the incident. There was nobody to definitively talk to, neither was there specification on the kind of documents required to facilitate the deportation of the corpse from Lebanon. Madam Sarma further stated that the embassy in it's response, told them that late Miss Mercy Oshama Adie was not registered at her point of entry into the country as a house-keeper. It was based on this that further contacts were made to Lebanese cargo ministry and security department. This was all that transpired. Follow up contacts to the consulate maintained that the staff was unaware of such a development but that was in the contrary as efforts were truly made to reach them.
Madam Sarma continued by saying that when one has employees that are not registered, situations always show up like this. Her translator/agent stated: "If madam Sarma had made the contacts, I would have not believed but I personally did". "I gave the consulate the deceased lady's name and passport number. So get your facts straight", he cautioned. "The doctor in the hospital said that Mercy died a natural death. "You can conduct autopsy or better still, send someone to the hospital to verify", the translator maintained.
This painful death of Miss Mercy Oshama Adie, is one too many and all remote/immediate cause(s) must be comprehensively investigated. The law must be allowed to take it's full cause in this matter. The Nigerian consulate in Lebanon, the Iranian woman employer and the Philipino house-keeper definitely have questions to answer. Let justice prevail!

Covid-19: The Radical Revolutionist
06:29 - 0 Comments
Before now, there was tension all around the world and it was as if world war 3 is around the corner. From South to East, there was problem, from North to West, there was crisis. It was as if God has allowed the evil ones to take over the world. North Koreans were preparing a war with United States, Iranians were preparing retaliation war with same US. Palestinians were busy battling it out with Israel, while Israel never breathed with the troubles in Gaza.
It was as if the evil men of the world have seen an opportunity to dictate to the believers. Some of the western countries have started seeing President Donald Trump as the problem of the world, all the Muslim countries see PM Benjamin Netayahu and Israel as the problems of the Muslim world, some Nigerians see IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as the only torn on the flesh of Africa most especially Nigeria. In US, it was as if, if Donald Trump is not impeached the world would not be again. In the Muslim world, it was as if, if Solomon’s temple is not given to them, the whole world will collapse. In Nigeria, it was as if, if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not killed and IPOB decimated, Nigeria will not be again but to no avail, none of this people were the problems of the world.
God being the game changer, the only being that can write straight on a crook line, the Mighty Man in battle who knows the best for His people, the only God who watches when others are asleep, who promised never to fail his faithful. According to the Holy Book, “He has made no one powerful enough to proclaim His works, who then can reveal His marvelous deeds, who can calculate His majestic strength and wholly relate His great goodness? Nothing can be added to them or taken away from them; no one can comprehend the wonders of the LORD.
When man thinks he has finished, then He only begins and when He stops, man is puzzled by it all." The Ten plagues as recorded in the bible are the adversities God sent to the Egyptians when Pharaoh refused to let the Hebrews go free. The plagues which are recorded in the book of Exodus are a manifestation of God’s power over not only Pharaoh, but also over the gods of Egypt. Ten times God through Moses, allowed Pharaoh to change his mind, be remorseful and turn to the one true God, each time increasing the harshness of the consequence of the plagues suffered for defiance to his request. Ten times, Pharaoh because of pride and arrogance refused to be taught by the Lord and received "judgments" through the plagues it manifested upon his head from Moses the deliverer. In many ways God has warned us but we refused to hear His voice.
The burning question demanding an answer is, when are these so-called leaders and rebellious dictators, members of ruling class dripping in the blood of millions ever going to be held accountable for the vast human suffering they have and continue to sow across the world? Coronavirus, just like the plagues God sent to Egyptians; came at a point the world and some world leaders thought they were strong enough to change the plans of God, when the world was heading into damnation, at the point when some heart-hardened men were planning to come against the sons and daughters of the Most High. At some point in life revolution is needed to be taught and corrected.
Covid-19 if you ask me, came to teach us the lesson of our life, to soften the heart of the wicked, to let us know that we are created; we are never the creator, to draw us back to our right senses and bring us back to our Creator. Coronavirus came at the time our rich political leaders have started seeing themselves as the Alpha and Omega, as demigods. They thought of themselves as the owners of the world, seeing the citizenry as slaves they can kill at will. It came to teach them a great lesson, to let them know the importance of good governance.
Before now, these political vampires especially Nigerian politicians rival one another in displaying their stolen goods, in the idolatrous images of high-rising condominiums, business ventures, and fleets of ostentatious cars, corpulent bank accounts, flamboyant lifestyles and other excessive ways of life. Covid-19 came to teach the political elites a lesson of their lives, to let them know that it's better to equip hospitals with modern and original drugs. And still they travel abroad for medication, investing in Swiss Banks, some have started confessing they never knew how dilapilated our hospitals are until the emergence of Covid-19.
But one thing these men of dishonor who prefer displaying their ignorance forget is that absolute power does not only corrupt absolutely, it also destroys awfully. And forgot to remember that political power is for the service of the people governed, but when it is inversely used to fleece the masses and destroy the life-supporting structures it will not only affect the masses it will also ultimately consume those who exercise it.
Nigerian rulers were obviously turning the power of governance into a license to financial and administrative recklessness cum immunity from probe. But Covid-19 is the biggest radical revolutionist that came to teach and educate both the poor and rich some hard lessons. And that has beome the only way out of the mess.
