The Real Thieves In The Nigerian Airports

As a young apprentice of  years of experience in a foreign land, I journeyed home on December 2020, for my eventual service disengagement and settlement. I traveled in the company of a friend who also was finally settled by his boss on completion of his apprenticeship. We embarked on the trip with all the required authentic travel documents.

At Lungi International Airport in Freetown, Sierra Leone, we smoothly checked in for a flight. No illegality or embarrassing issue was encountered from the officials. We touched down at Kotoka International Airport in Accra, Ghana, where we had yet another unencumbered and accommodating check-in before being transferred to a Lagos, Nigeria-bound flight. On arrival at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, Nigeria, there was this air of corruption, discomfort and thievery everywhere.

Many people were spotted at the airport, moving randomly to and fro within the arrival hall. I took a close look at them, noticing the desperation and impudence with which some touts and unemployable street marauders strove to extort and undo innocent travelers. Their job therein, is to dimentionally observe the people from two positions.

Firstly, the people (travelers), must be observed with the intent of fishing out from amongst them though unknowingly, the nervous. Secondly, these airport touts must be able to also spot out, the travelers through their physical assessments, those that have  appreciable amount of money on them. Any passenger found guilty of either of these, automatically becomes a victim. They trailed such potential victims down to the counter and the complicit officials will be signaled that a big "fish" has just arrived. This compromised airport officials will then initiate a  mastered process of money extortion from the unsuspecting victim(s).

I and my friend on our arrival at the Lagos International Airport, did our normal check-out. At the counter, I encountered a lady aiport official of Igbo extraction. She collected my Covid-19 pass slip and requested that I should pay her any amount of my choice as a tip off so that I could be let off. This is because behind the Covid-19 slip, it was written "UNPAID". All Covid results from air passengers from Sierra Leone had theirs written "UNPAID" and the reason for this, I never figured out. Eventually, it was getting dark and I just had to part with five hundred naira (N500) to ease my passage and that was it. I got outside the hall after everything and was waiting for my friend. When he finally joined me, he was really in tears. He narrated his ordeal to me, saying that one Yoruba lady he encountered at the counter, threatened to hand him over to one military officer for detention, for failing to pay up some monetary demands. Two hundred and fifty United States dollars ($250) was extorted from him later, before being left off the hook. Both of us actually made payments for the Covid-19 tests in Freetown, Sierra Leone, before embarking on the trip. A total sum of eight hundred thousand leones (800,000 le), which is approximately eighty United States dollars ($80) was paid with our samples duly collected.

When it was the date of my return back to Sierra Leone, I had to embark on the journey with two new young men for my boss. They were to take over my position as apprentices in our business. My scheduled flight take off was billed for 10:50am local time. We got to the airport by 7:30am for the usual check-in procedures but then, met the worst case scenario ever to be encountered in my entire life. Soon on arrival at the airport, we got stocked at the first entrance gate where Covid-19 results were essentially required. No known offense of ours could be identified because our Covid-19 test results were genuinely intact and they all proved that we were negative to the virus infection. I got choked up. Some other persons with valid Covid-19 results were also innocently detained. Diverse amounts of money were paid both in Nigeria and United States currencies. We clearly packed, waiting to be attended to because I bluntly objected to the complicity of bribery or extortion as demanded by the officials, up to the tune of one hundred and fifty US dollars ($150) each from the three of us. After having extorted people, these airport officials discovered that I was unyielding, they allowed me passage, but held the two young men traveling with me, back. I strongly stood against their oppression and by this time, it was already 10:00am before we were all let go.

We proceeded and on getting to the counter in the hall where our passports needed to be signed, 10:30am departure time had already reached. Our take off flight was billed for 10:50am. We were stocked again for the flimsy excuse that the two young fellows traveling with me, have not traveled before as revealed by their passports. I was also detained as mine was freshly renewed on it's expiration on arrival in Nigeria. The officials demanded that each of us (three all together), should pay one hundred dollars which really got me irritated. At 10:45am, they were not ready to let us off even with other pending procedural issues  ahead of us. Frankly speaking, we happened to be the last set of people that were to board that flight that were yet stranded in the checking-in processes. All other passengers had already commenced boarding while we were yet left behind, grappling with the disgusting corrupt system of Nigeria.

I initially had it hot with the corrupt officials for the illegalities being brazenly displayed with a threat to institute a legal action against them. I earnestly demanded to know whom their boss was and was taken to one shabby office that looked like a toilet. They explained to one Alhaji who they claimed to be their boss all that transpired between me and them. His response was that we should go to the Immigration Office at Festac town, Lagos, to sort ourselves out. I had determined to pursue this matter not minding the cancelation of my flight so that this monstrous enemy called corruption in Nigeria, could be confronted. It was the intervention of an Igbo airport official (a man), who solicited that I amicably resolve the matter with them, that salvaged the situation. He told me that the ugly antecedents are the norm. He humanely pleaded with me, dousing the tension which eventually resulted in my parting with additional twenty thousand naira (N20,000) to them. We were however fortunate that other officials allowed us smooth passages without searching us to forestall further delays. As God may have purposed, the flight was delayed in our favor for additional ten minutes which aided our boarding by 10:55am.

The above narration clearly shows my unhealthy encounter with the Nigerian corrupt airport officials that have been duping innocent passengers for over the years. My encounter with them is a frequent encounter as I shuttle between Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

* Corruption In Nigeria Has Become An Indestructible Monster

The principal word here is "Corruption" which is as old as Nigeria herself. It has irretractably sank deep into the very fabrics of the existence of the country. The British colonialists so structured it before the flag independence of 1960. The country was founded on corruption and injustice before the diverse indigenous people groups with sharply divergent value systems, were forcefully contrapted therein. The British bequeathed the culture of looting and extortion to their Nigerian successors and it has become glaringly clear that even in this 21st century, the country is not ready to progressively chart a course and move on. The old, crude and disgusting ways of life, are yet being tenaciously cleaved onto. Both the government (public) and private sectors blatantly treasure the anomaly. Why should a country that is so naturally endowed, be reeling in such messy waters? Why should the government officials who are supposedly the people's servants, turn around to unleash wickedness, unfairness and principles of inequality on them?

My experience can be adjudged minor when compared to many other unprintable treatments many other private individuals and firms in various sectors go through on successive basis. Muhammadu Buhari and his abysmally clueless and anti-people government that promised fighting corruption to a standstill and recovering all looted funds, have shamelessly joined the league of "Corrupt Men And Women Association Of Nigeria (CMWAN)". There is absolutely no sanity or respect for the rule of law. The so-called recovered loots have been brazenly relooted with reckless abandon.

How can a country like this positively advance when it's leadership is gravely retarded and clueless about nation building and development? Nigeria cannot progress better than the present. The ideal thing to do is for the International Community to decisively sign the relevant documents that will facilitate a dissolution, hence every indices of peace and progress issuing from the indigenous ethnic nationalities vehemently support such. Biafrans and Oduduwas amongst others, can effectively manage their economies and the well-being their peoples respectively with enormous ease.

Crocodile Smiles &" Tear drops"

It was a gentle evening

Calm but mean

Voices were on the street

Calling for Justice & new dawn

For the land has turned 

To den of lions 

Before the strike of an end came 

Hurt the night

And silenced voices

The Monsters on uniform

And hefty booths

Armed to teeth

Appeared  in the dark

As the  light was seized to shine

Heartlessly pulled the trigger

That pierced through the pore of fresh body

Struck the innocent

Chanting Justice,  equity

Hugging  flag of three colours

Green, white and Green

The blood night,

Cursed the flag

The white, became red

Full colour, green, red and green

A kiss of sadness in the land

Everyone unhappy 

The street of Lekki reacts

The bloody paint really awful

The stains will never be washed

So  cold the blood

Goshed profusely as  souls

Hovered  in pain

Cried so loud

The voices so clear

The known voices

Of sons and daughters of the soil

Can this pain heals?

When recall the

Overpowered voices of the dying

As guns and bullets took up the chant

Tata Tata Tata, dum , dum 

As heads roll, kissing the soil in pain

The guns and bullets

Never rugged to enemy of the nation

But to the peaceful citizens

The blood of her own

Young in age, the leaders of tomorrow

Cut short, to feed blood thirst

Of the old fools

Today has come 

All  blood suckers must dance in the grave

The young shall lead

And dismantle the ghetto

For nations to trace their root 

And save their land 

To die no more by monsters

It's a call for new beginning

Youth, hug revolution

"We Will Not Relent Until Biafra Is Fully Restored.... IPOB Unit 1 Family, Obeama

"We Will Not Relent Until Biafra Is Fully Restored.... IPOB Unit 1 Family, Obeama

The family members of newly inaugurated Obeama Unit 1, of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), under Zone 20, (Obigbo Market Zone), Obigbo Area 3 in Igwuocha - Biafraland, have vowed never to relent in the struggle for freedom until the complete restoration of the sovereign nation of Biafra.

Making this position known during their inauguration exercise on Sunday 20th September 2020, the family members reiterated that Biafra remains the only hope of the common man entrapped in Nigeria. They stated that the disintegration of the country remains inevitable.

The Coordinator of Obigbo Area 3 amongst other dignitories in the occasion who equally spoke, enjoined the newly family members and of course every Biafran globally, to remain resolute, focused and formidable towards the irrevocable pursuit for Biafra, assuring them of untainted victory.

RED ALERT : Hausa-Fulani Jihadists Plan To Attack Rivers State

RED ALERT: Hausa-Fulani Jihadists Plan To Attack Rivers State

Tangible information made available to Family Writers Press International reveals that Hausa-Fulani militias dressed in military uniform are plotting an attack on Oyigbo local government area of Rivers state. According to the information, the planned attack is meant as a  ‘revenge of two Hausa-Fulani menʼ reportedly  killed by cultists in the area following the discovery of the corpse of a young man in a tank at an Hausa residence in Oyigbo.

Northern community in Rivers had accused members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for killing of the Hausas, but a thorough investigation carried out by Family Writers Press International, and confirmed by Oyigbo Police Command, revealed that the claim by Northern community in Rivers as published by Daily Trust and Daily Times Newspapers is false.

The information obtained by Family Writers Press International however reveals that the Hausa-Fulani community in Rivers have concluded plans to unleash mayhem on Oyigbo people as a means of retaliation.

Also uncovered during investigation by Family Writers Press International, is the murder of Okada riders, both of whom are natives of Oyigbo, as well as the constant stealing of motorcycles which are smuggled to Northern part of the country.

 “They always target people with new motorcycles. Once they lure and murder the person, they bring the motorcycle to Bori Camp, where it would be transported to the North with an army escort. This have been ongoing for a long time,” a soldier who pleaded anonymity stated.

Since Monday night, there have been influx of Hausa-Fulani jihadists into Yam Zone and other Northern Muslim densely populated areas in Oyigbo. The information further reveals that the planned attack is being perfected by some persons known as Alhaji Abdullahi, Saidu Musa and others whose names are yet to be uncovered.

With at least three Toyota hilux vans made available for their movement, the jihadists are expected to dress in military uniform stockpiled in Hausa-Fulani residences and mosques across Oyigbo and its environs.

"Apart from secret abductions and killings, their targets are also mainly venues of meeting by IPOB Family members, Churches (mostly during night vigils), households and other places,

"One of the leaders of Northern community in Oyigbo who goes by the name - Alhaji Abdullahi, is the mastermind of the attack which is  imminent," the information unraveled.

Nigeria: Family Writers Press Fact Finding Journey To Idumuje Ugboko Kingdom, Delta State

Nigeria: Family Writers Press Fact Finding Journey To Idumuje Ugboko Kingdom, Delta State

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.

Nnamdi Kanu And The Pinching Truth On Nigeria Christian Leaders

Nnamdi Kanu And The Pinching Truth On Nigeria Christian Leaders

Nnamdi Kanu

Nigeria Christians attacking Nnamdi Kanu for speaking out against the hypocrisy of most Nigeria men of God should endeavour go and study the Holy Bible appropriately. No place captures the scenario better than the book of Amos where God used an ordinary vegetarian and shepherd(Amos) to caution and warn the Israelites, their priests and the king of the impending wrath of God should they continue in their evil ways. Ironically, the very person that started and led a campaign of calumny against Amos is a Chief priest called Amaziah, just as overzealous Nigeria Christians are doing to Nnamdi Kanu today. From the 10th verse of the 7th chapter reads thus:

" Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent a message to Jeroboam king of Israel: “Amos is raising a conspiracy against you in the very heart of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words.  For this is what Amos is saying:

“‘Jeroboam will die by the sword,
    and Israel will surely go into exile,
    away from their native land.’”

 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom.”

Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. But the Lord took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’  Now then, hear the word of the Lord. You say,

“‘Do not prophesy against Israel,
    and stop preaching against the descendants of Isaac.’

 “Therefore this is what the Lord says:

“‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city,
    and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword.
Your land will be measured and divided up,
    and you yourself will die in a pagan[c] country.
And Israel will surely go into exile,
    away from their native land.’”

I wonder why at this point, some people still find it hard to assimilate the fact that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not a man you can blackmail because he speaks the truth, neither can you intimidate him with the exuberance of extreme religious rhetoric.  After reading a portion of the Bible that says-'my people perish due to lack of knowledge,' I actually agreed; however, after a critical look at the way Nigerians reason and react to issues beckoning on them, some thoughts ran through my mind.

Nigerians are perishing not just because they lack knowledge; they're doomed because they have been bewitched with 'ignorance'. It is one thing to acquire knowledge, it is another thing to still think and behave like a wild animal even after accumulation of such knowledge. A legal aphorism says, 'ignorance of the law is not an excuse.'  Ignorance is simply choosing to be foolish whereas you are certifiably trained to be an encyclopedia of wisdom. Ignorance is seeing a black, yet turning around to call it a white. Ignorance is believing that you are free to talk to God concerning your wants and needs, yet you can't even be bold enough to point out and vehemently condemn the ungodly lifestyle of your religious leaders at their face.

Truth be told, the leadership of the Nigeria Christendom cannot excuse themselves from whatever precarious and appalling state Nigeria is today. Either passively or actively, most religious leaders are instrumental to the mess we're in. This is exactly what drives Nnamdi Kanu's rage against the compromised Christian leaders that have never boldly condemned the atrocities and carnage being perpetrated in this country, but would rather devote their time and energy extorting their miserable congregation all in the name of tithing and sowing of seed. When we say Nigeria is home of corruption, we must not just scapegoat the politicians, we should also hold the various sectors that are supposed to function as watchdogs accountable.

There is a magnanimous undercover corruption which is being aided and abetted by some religious leaders in this country. In the north, religion is seen as a weapon of jihadi warfare and a perfect tower of elitism; while in the South, it's turning out to be more of a business enterprise and tragically used as a tool to mentally entangle the masses from revolting against their evil leaders. This is why in Nigeria, everything is virtually prayed for. We pray to God to give us good roads, good hospitals, good schools and even electricity. We easily forget that 'faith without work is dead'. Now have you seen why those attacking Nnamdi Kanu for speaking out against the hypocrisy of most Christian leaders in Nigeria are actually making a mess of themselves?

The worst form of ignorance is not being silent in the face of evil; it is actually fighting tooth and nail against those who are brave enough to bring an end to the evil status quo. Nigerians are in a deep mess politically, religiously and culturally. However, just a look at how this same Nigerians channel all their energy in attacking Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, you then discover the perfect illustration of 'stockholm syndrome'. Isn't it ironic that a people that have been held captive for so long are now the ones fighting against a person or group that has risen with all sincerity to set them free?

What I actually find baffling and insane is that even the so called Nigeria intellectuals are arguing that Nnamdi Kanu shouldn't dabble into religious affairs, in as much as he is a freedom fighter. Then I ask: Has Nnamdi Kanu who has openly professed to be a Jew ever forced his religion on anyone? Does being a Jew stop anyone from pointing out and criticising the inadequacies of religious leaders of different faith? How on earth could a reasonable person portray such criticism as an act of religious bigotry?

The message from Nnamdi Kanu is clear. Nigerian men of God must sit up, else, God will raise stones to deliver his message and execute His rage unadulterated and uncontrollably. If you think you're immune from criticism because you're a clergy, then you're no different from the family of the Biblical Eli that once fashioned that their fortunate 'Levi' ancestry can shelve them from the wrath of God, having waded off several warnings from their underdog servant called Samuel.  How I nearly knocked a horn out of one extremist that attempted to quote 'touch not my anointed...' simply over some words of love which Nnamdi Kanu dropped to Nigeria Christian leaders.

Even Moses, God's one and only personal secretary couldn't step an inch into the promised land, because at some point in his life, he became intolerable to criticism and the murmuring jabs of his  orally armoured Israeli brethren whom he just led out of Egypt. It is time the Biggies of the Nigeria Christendom had a rethink and lead their flocks appropriately, fearlessly and selflessly.

Biafra: Nigeria's Divide And Rule Strategy, Reason Why Biafra Restoration Is Delayed

Biafra: Nigeria's Divide And Rule Strategy, Reason Why Biafra Restoration Is Delayed

"Divide and Rule" is keeping control over people by making them disagree with and fight each other, therefore not giving them the chance to unite and oppose you together. It is the gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into segments that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. It is a strategy of gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into chunks that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. The premise refers to a strategy that breaks up existing power structures, and especially prevents smaller power groups from linking up, causing rivalries and formenting disagreements among the people. It was heavily used by the British empire in Nigeria, India and elsewhere.

According to Suzy Kassem, "The most dangerous people in the world are not the tiny minority instigating evil acts, but those who do the acts for them". For example, when the British invaded India, many Indians accepted to work for the British to kill off Indians who resisted their occupation. So, in other words, many Indians were hired to kill other Indians on behalf of the enemy for a paycheck. Today, we have mercenaries in Africa, corporate armies from the western world and unemployed men throughout the Middle East, killing their own people — and people of other nations — for a paycheck. To act without a conscience but for a paycheck, makes anyone a dangerous animal. The devil would be powerless if he could not entice people to do his work. So as long as money continues to seduce the hungry, the hopeless, the broken, the greedy and the needy, there will always be war between brothers.

The bible louds it that a house divided against itself cannot stand. If a people are one they are strong and are able to stand in resistance of their values, rights and privileges. However, what nations and many politicians have done is to sow (sponsor) the seed of disagreements and dissension among their people or the people of the other groups in order to divide them and then take advantage of their scattered wellbeing. If any group or nation therefore want to emerge from the present humiliation, then such group must bring all interests together to the place of unity and understanding – for only "united we stand and divided we fall".

One cannot realize the smartness with which various Nigeria governments have divided various groups, parties, and tribes in Nigeria for their own convenience. These were the stratagem they used to divide us into junks called geographical zones. For your information, the division of Nigeria into six geo-political zones from where South-South, South-East and so on emerged, was not to develop the country, it was not for the economical management of the zones, it was not for the wellbeing of the poor populace, not for the purpose of employment but just to make us weak and under-develop us for easier escalation of corruption, for easier Islamization of Nigeria, to frustrate our future and for all other evil intentions in their hearts.

It has been a big fear for Britain that if they should allow Biafrans' unity the way they have been even before the war, they will be a big problem and certainly Biafra restoration will be so much easier and their business venture will collapse. South-South and South-East are in discord today because of this evil stratagem initiated by Britian. That Biafra is yet to be restored is because of this devilish "divide and rule" method.

"United we stand, divided we fall", so goes the age old saying and there is indeed a sea of wisdom behind this proverbial statement. There is no merit in splitting up a nation from within. If not anything, it hampers the efficiency of the nation with the unnecessary chaos and disharmony created intentionally. Instead of learning from, and with one another, the nation drifts apart and there is a lack of communication and coordination like what we are seeing today amongst Biafrans.

How have the six geo-political zones helped in the development of Nigeria? How has it helped in adding value to our lives? Absolutely nothing!. I believe that "divide and rule" is an expired ideology that cannot continue, and it is essential that everyone entrapped in Nigeria stands together against the cooperative marauding of our future by the political agents and political entities. Indeed, enough is enough of "Divide and Rule". "Divide-and-Conquer" leaders want followers, they just care about themselves. "Unite-and-build" leaders create more leaders, they care about the mission. The former are self-serving, the latter serve something bigger than themselves. Which one are you? Are you for Biafra or South-south and South East?

The Problem Of An Igboman Is Himself---IPOB Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Declares

The Problem Of An Igboman Is Himself---IPOB Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Declares

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

Thursday 21st May 2020, witnessed yet another thunderous exposé of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on live broadcast via Radio Biafra. He stated that the Igbo Biafrans remain the real enemies to themselves and that it was their destructive individualistic nature that has boxed them into perpetual slavery. This statement amongst others, formed part of his lectures in an interactive Radio Biafra live transmission he personally anchored on Thursday evening.  He gave the revelation behind many reasons why Biafrans till date, have failed to actualize their age long search for freedom, their great potentials and efforts to extricate themselves from the pangs of the damnable British entity called Nigeria, nonetheless. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu maintained that a whiteman named Fredrick Lugard created Nigeria in 1914 and annexed this great Biafra nation together with other ethnic groups.

The IPOB leader said: "Igboman is the problem and I will tell the reason why, because we prefer outsiders instead of our own people". Driving home his point, he referenced those Biafrans who choose Yoruba churches over and against those owned and championed by their own brothers and sisters due to some "petty village jealousy" and "why must it be you syndrome". "We exhibit the worst of who we are against each other, he regrettably stated.

He proceeded to very categorically, stress that we are where we presently are due to "the complacency of our people, the cowardice of our people and the treachery of our people, envy, jealousy and gluttony. I call it the seven deadly demons and that is what is afflicting us today". He said that the largest population that can be found in Biafraland is the Igbos which simply means "Ndi-gboo" (the ancient people). Mazi Nnamdi Kanu affirmed that all the people of Ibibio, Idoma, Efik, Igbanke, Itsekiri, Ijaw, Ogoni, Igala, Annang, Urhobo, Isoko, Anioma, etcetera, emanated from the same ancestral lineage which clearly explains why their married women and mothers tie two pieces of wrapper. They all have the same four market days namely: Eke, Orie, Afor and Nkwo.

Debunking the lies being blatantly peddled by the Fulanis and their Yoruba cohorts aimed at hoodwinking gullible Biafrans, Kanu said: "I made a post this evening before I came on air. I alluded to somebody who wrote some garbage about "Ibibio" not being Biafra but conceding that when the whiteman came to Calabar in the mid-19th and late 19th century in 1800s, they recognized that we are Biafrans even in Calabar". " I want you to understand something this very evening. The whiteman came and knew that this was Biafra. When the Presbyterian Church was being formed, they said this is the Presbytery of Biafra".

"Now, I made that very post that somebody came today from somewhere else and was writing complete rubbish that "Oh no, it is Efik! It is not Ibibio, it is not Biafra!" These are the people in the payroll of Aso Rock  and I will tell you their job. Their job is to deflect your attention; their job is to create many possible fake accounts in the names of people in Ibibio, in Efik, in Annang, in Ijaw, in Isoko, in Urhobo. Their aim is to deflect attention and destroy any cohesion. If you come together, it is a threat to them in the North (the Fulanis from the Northern Sahel region of Nigeria). Some of you do not know this but you must understand that saying of the ancient - 'Igwebuike' (there is strength in numbers). Once you are united, nobody can defeat you. All those things are still relevant till this very day and because we ignored them, that is why the janjaweed managed to divide us".

Speaking on the non-traditional and meaningless names that the Northern Fulani caliphate and the Yorubas tagged the indigenous land owners of Biafra, the IPOB leader proceeded to give clarifications. He emphasized one of the major tools these oppressors employed to orchestrate division amongst Biafran brothers and sisters. "Ask yourself this question. Why is it that in Northern Nigeria, they have retained all their traditional names like Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Borno, Bauchi, Nasarawa, Zamfara, etcetera. Ask yourself, why? Why did they come to Biafraland and called you Cross River that has no meaning, which is river cross? Rivers State that nobody knows the river they are referring to. Are you listening very carefully? Delta State that has no meaning. The reason why they took away your traditional names is because they do not want you to discover who you are. And if you do not know who you are, there is no way you can recognize an enemy when he is coming. That is what is happening to us now. Do you now see their tricks?"

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in conclusion, proclaimed that our land is being presently invaded by the marauding armies of the Fulani Islamic caliphate due to the crass negligence and failure of our people to act pre-emptively. He revealed how he had seriously warned Biafrans resident in the United States of America way back in 2015, about the looming dangers as today being witnessed in Biafraland. But they never listened and now, the Fulanis have taken over our land. People are running helter shelter. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said: "Igboman will never bring out one million dollars to support the defense of his own land until their village is gone". He however, called on Biafrans globally, to do away with their tiny village envy, jealousy, disunity, selfishness and greed; and unanimously join hands to reclaim our ancestral land. This can only be realized through their support to IPOB in the fight for freedom because "Igwe-bu-ike" (there is strength in unity).

Africa: Ojukwu is not here but Biafra is alive

Africa: Ojukwu is not here but Biafra is alive

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 Those Individuals Enviously Accusing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Of Abandoning IPOB Activists In Detention

To Those Individuals Enviously Accusing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu  Of Abandoning IPOB Activists In Detention

* Nnamdi Obi And Other IPOB Detainees Are Not For Sale

I recently read through a misleading, ungrounded write-up from a shallow-minded, Facebook notice-me rat, putting up accusations and claiming Biafran Elephant. He claimed that activists of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), yet in detention, have been abandoned by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. With him are such other individuals who have never fearlessly visited these detainees in either police or prison custody. These are persons who hid themselves when IPOB was tagged a terrorist organization by the Nigerian government and could not boldly and publicly declare themselves as Biafrans for fear of being arrested.

Activist Nnamdi Obi

IPOB is globally acclaimed as the largest Freedom Fighting Movement and her actions administratively, do not function in the kitchen. One does not just awake from slumber to spew trash and wants IPOB leadership to toe decisions from uncorroborated, illicit gossips far from what erudite minds may consider an argument. IPOB responds to objective arguments but mischievously accusing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of having abandoned his detained activists in Nigeria prisons is to say the least, most disgustingly insulting and entirely bereft of the knowledge of the rule of law.

IPOB has various functional departments and the Legal Team an arm, is responsible of legally combating for the rescue and freedom of all detained activists. Akin to other departments, the legal team has strict operational ethics/principles cum course of action that must be religiously adhered to.

It is noteworthy to state here that the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not and does not in any way represent the Nigeria security agency which arrested the activists. He is not the prosecuting counsel, presiding judge or even the prison officials who have them in custody. Those in detention quite unlike the recently released Orji Uzor Kalu, are not convicted and cannot be because they did not commit any offense against known law(s). The officials detaining them are just greedy Igbo prosecutors that want IPOB to approach them with bribes which we cannot get involved with. This organization does not give bribe because once such is started here in Nigeria, be very sure, it will never end. Each time they arrest our people, they will want us to pay them. This is their game which must be properly understood.

* The Rule In IPOB Legal Team

We do not bribe Nigeria security agents for the release of any IPOB activist. Before venturing into any matter, announcement is usually being made   for clarity and understanding. If by any way you do not want to abide by the terms of the IPOB legal team, then you may freely have your own way but at all times, there has  been total compliance with given orders by the IPOB leadership to the legal arm.

The adherence to these orders form the reason why no IPOB detained activist has been convicted whatsoever, for terrorism. We completely regain freedom despite delays in dispensing justice through incessant/indiscriminate adjournments.

* Nnamdi Obi

It is out of ignorance or function of weak minds that people will publicly insinuate that Nnamdi Obi is being abandoned by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. This position is entirely moronic. When really has the IPOB leader become the Magistrate, Mrs. Linda Ugobaja that remanded Nnamdi Obi in Umuahia prisons and Nwobilor Esq., both of whom are Igbos that are prosecuting the innocent Biafran activist?

The bail application for Nnamdi Obi has well been filed in Abia State High Court, Umuahia, since the Magistrate Court presided over by Mrs. Linda Ugobaja flatly denied him bail for lack of jurisdiction and endorsed his remand warrant. The ruling on Nnamdi Obi's case in Abia State High Court was earlier scheduled for Monday 20th April 2020, before covid-19 pandemic lockdown which affected court sittings not just only in Nigeria but globally.

The mischief makers and their sponsored baby saboteurs, since the court ruling was not done and the presiding judge failed to make appearance on the fixed date of Monday 20th April 2020, they should then tell who granted the defendant, the bribe bail for one hundred and fifty thousand Naira (N150,000)?

Is IPOB now being advised to get Mazi Nnamdi Obi freed by meeting with same prosecutor behind the scene, that tagged him a terrorist for just putting on Biafra regalia? No, IPOB legal team will not toe such a path.

* Those Accusing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Of Abandonment Are Clearly Behind The Frequent Adjournments/Illegal Detention Of IPOB Activists

If you therefore advise that IPOB gives N150,000 as bribe to Nnamdi Obi's grossly unlearned prosecutor when he can legally withdraw his false charges in the court of law, you are then invariably the reason why the hunger-stricken police agents, arrest IPOB activists. Your assertions are tantamount to disguised extortion because you are actually asking the Nigeria government to carry out invasion of every IPOB meeting venue, arrest members and send it's prosecutors to place demand for N100,000, N150,000, N400,000 and whatever charge they deem fit. Are you telling the Nigerian government to continue arresting us, so we can keep giving them N150,000 for each family member kidnapped?

If an unkept, gravely unprofessional Nigeria forceman lacks money, his best bait is to detain our mothers on Biafra regalia and then ask you to contact Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for the provision of N150,000 for each or risk being detained for years?

IPOB membership is over sixty (60) million globally and by calculation based on monetary gains in Nigeria courts at N150,000 per individual, the total sum is what the prosecutors would be raking in at our expense.

* Why Was Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Incarcerated For Two Years And Orji Uzor Kalu, Just For Only Five Months?

To the fault finders and their admirers, they have to fully comprehend the fact that IPOB activists are usually being treated inhumanly by their oppressors in a totally different manner. It was via belligerent and confrontational legal combats, death of innocent Biafrans amongst several consistent protests, that propelled Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's freedom after two years. Does it then mean that the IPOB leader was abandoned for him to have been in incarceration for two good years before his bail was being granted by Justice Adeniyi Ademola in Abuja based Federal High Court, nonetheless? An IPOB activist is totally a different person from any Nigeria politician, and that is why we are being treated wholly differently.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never declared Orji Uzor Kalu a saint before placing a demand for his release from prison. As a matter of fact, he shamed Orji Uzor Kalu for being a Fulani stooge in Biafraland through his Radio Biafra live broadcasts. The reason behind the IPOB leader's campaign against the detention of Olisa Metuh and Orji Uzor Kalu, is for Fulani nepotistic government to exhibit fairness in it's judgement. It is indefensibly against natural injustice for one to declare his/her thief free while holding others condemned for same offence.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has frequently written to the United States of America, United kingdom, United Nations, International community and had equally broadcasted on air live, for the release of IPOB detained activists. He has permanently accentuated on the injustice meted against Biafrans and Nnamdi Obi is not and cannot be an exemption.

IPOB Raises alarm over the dispatch of Corona Virus infected almajiris to Biafra land

IPOB Raises alarm over the dispatch of Corona Virus infected almajiris to Biafra land

May 5, 2020
IPOB PRESS RELEASE

We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to draw the attention of Biafrans and the world at large over the ploy by some Northern elements to export coronavirus from its Kano epicenter to other parts of Nigeria particularly Biafra land. Those behind this evil plot are currently pursuing its actualisation under the guise of repatriation of almajiris to their home states.

It is a known fact that Biafra has no almajiri as that is not our culture. Why then are those behind the sending of almajiri boys to Enugu doing so if not to infest Biafrans with covid -19 ? No almajiri is of Biafra origin. Why then are they being sent to Enugu? IPOB won't accept despatching of almajiri boy to Enugu or any part of Biafra land.

Arewa North dominated by Fulani have been secretly sending Coronavirus patients in the name of sending out their alamajiri group to Enugu state since the lockdown started. Some of those almajiri sent to Enugu State but intercepted by security agents were tested and found positive of COVID-19 pandemic . Dispatching alamajiri to our land under any guise will not be accepted. We shall stoutly resist this move.

It is no longer hidden that coronavirus pandemic (COVID19) is currently ravaging Kano and other parts of the North. Instead of locking down to stem the spread as was done by all states in Biafra land, Northern leaders opened their borders and allowed free movement of their people many of who are now infested with the pandemic . Now they intend to infest the rest of us with the virus under the guise of repatriation of almajiris. We won't allow this evil plot as no almajiri is from Biafra Land.

We, therefore, urge everybody in Biafra land including politicians, businessmen and women as well as students, churches and all the stakeholders in our land to stand up and stop these evil people with their alamajiri group transfered in Biafra. Our land cannot be a depot for alamajiri. Let them stay in North where they were incubated. Everybody knows that alamajiris are wanderers causing uprising, mayhem and crises in the whole of North. Most of the attacks against Christians and Biafrans living in the North as well as Christian communities in the North have their signature tunes.

We also want all Biafrans to be on the red alert because the North has deviced another means of spreading this deadly disease in our land via almajiris. They used Fulani terrorists as herdsmen, Nigeria military, police and Boko Haram attack before and failed because Biafraland is a blessed land and protected by Most High God Chukwu Okike Abiama in Heaven who is protecting and overseeing the affairs of our lives towards this deadly pandemic disease.

The North knows that South East and South South don't have alamajiri or wayward people since our lives. Therefore, they must immediately recall them before it gets too late because IPOB will not accept that nonesence transfer of human beings affected with diseases to our territory. We are not unaware about the new plans which was perfected in the north to kill Biafrans, before sending these alamajiri to Enugu we were reliabily informed that Fulani would start another approach to reduce Biafra populations therefore, we'll never accept that rubbish brought here called alamajiri.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to stop and eradicate alamajiri system spread in the north during his administration. He even built schools and gave them good incentives but those who created and benefited from alamajiri institution refused and destroyed all the alamajiri schools built by Jonathan and they even accused him of destroying Northern Nigeria.

Nigeria government led by Jubril Al-sudani and his cabals in Aso Rock directed those who shared all palliatives including rice, tomatoes, beans, indomie and milk as well as money donated by Biafra sons and daughters to only people of the North without giving a single individual or group in the land of Biafra. Instead, they deemed it so imperative to bring in COVID-19 patients and alamajiri who were affected with diseases around them to our land. Our land is free from coronavirus by the power of Almighty God Chukwu Okike Abiama (God Almighty).

We accuse governors, PANDEF, Ohaneze Ndigbo led by John Nnia Nwodo of giving Fulani chances for using our land as dumping ground and it won't go through with them. Arewa political elite and elders created and groomed alamajiri for their selfish gain. Therefore, they must live with their creation because we are going to make life unbearable for them.

COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB.

Justice Demanded In The Mysterious Death Of A Lebanese-based Biafran Lady

Justice Demanded In The Mysterious Death Of A Lebanese-based Biafran Lady

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 Impending Danger Facing An Unprepared Nigeria

Covid-19: The Impending Danger Facing An Unprepared Nigeria

Coronavirus pandemic is real going by it's prevalent rampage globally. Presently, the disease is reportedly taking it's toll in Nigeria. It is unfortunate that the Nigeria government is yet reeling in ignorance and lack of pro-activeness in it's handling of the terrific disease. It is currently ravaging the populace and yet being treated with kid gloves, politics and corruption.

This is a country that is geographically demographed into 36 states with Abuja as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The least populated of all the states after the 2006 census as people were made to believe, was Bayelsa. Nigeria had a total population index of 180 million. Birth rate eversince then,  has grown astronomically, except in recent times that many deaths were recorded due to terrorism related activities. One would then begin to imagine what the population stands at, exactly 14 years after. The population it is believed, has shot up to approximately 230 million. It is noteworthy to state however, that Nigeria government's effort aimed at containing the spread of the covid-19 pandemic, is terribly appalling.

Out of the 36 states of the federation, the deadly virus has reportedly spread to 27 states and the question is: "Why is the entire country having only 15 covid-19 testing/evaluation centres? Can this therefore be said to be realistically adequate in a country with such number of inhabitants? It was stated that each of these centres has testing capacity for 1,500 cases daily. But are the personnel involved actually doing that?

Few weeks ago, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control. (NCDC), released a publication on it's website, that just a total number of 500 persons can be tested daily, quite contrary to the initial information. This is totally unacceptable for a country whose human population is at least 200 million citizens, who are forcefully locked in amidst hunger, anger and frustration. This lockdown policy has been in place for almost a month running now with absolutely no concrete plans streamlined to stem the spread of the virus. All economic/social activities of individuals are on standstill.

Prior to the viral publication of the epidemic arrival in Nigeria, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, Lagos and Ogun States had already been shut down to businesses. One then begins to wonder how the pandemic escalated to other states and cities, beyond bounds with combined team of government security operatives and other concerned agencies, fruitlessly patrolling everywhere without  enforcing movement restrictions of potential carriers.

News had it that these officials were  engaged on routine patrol checks on 24 hourly basis to curb the invasion of the deadly virus into other places. But surprisingly, the number of index cases, deaths and recoveries keep increasing, with no evidential publication of pictorial/videos clips of victims. If the Nigerian youths really want to prove this government wrong that they are not truly lazy as claimed by the President, this is the right time to arise and truly determine their future. The economy has nosedived with high inflation rates. Businesses both private/public are on standstill. People are angrily disappointed being ordered to stay at home and complaining against the non-challant attitude of government, concerning their wellbeing/welfare under very difficult circumstances.

The Chinese Vaccine And 5G Mission In Africa

The Chinese Vaccine And 5G Mission In Africa

Most Chinese self-acclaimed doctors had found themselves in the most populous African country called Nigeria with their top agenda kept secret. Before they were allowed against the wish of the masses, they offered huge amount of money as bribe to Nigerian government which does not have the interest of the masses at heart. The government that does not care about their peoples' wellbeing and totally clueless about leadership. All they want is the money thereby exposing  the innocent citizens to damnable eternal destruction.

Coronavirus is not new on earth, it was the sickness most people battled with in the year 1965. It had similar features with common malaria and it has a very common preventive measure which tied to is daily use of your detol disinfectant and drinking of a glass of warm water every morning.

This recent coronavirus was created by the Chinese late in 2019 at Wuhan and they called it COVID-19 which stands for Corona-Virus Disease 2019. The reason for the creation of the  disease was a top secret to all nations and peoples, as China together with Britain, planned taking over the world leadership.

They knew that they can keep you indoors with the virus and then erect their 5G poles through which they will be monitoring you that have their vaccine implant. This is exactly the time bible described as ''END OF AGE''.

Those vaccines are the michrochip implants which the bible further described as the ''mark of the beast'' in Revelation 13:16-17 which reads thus:

Egoukw99**-- ''And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads; And that no man might buy or sell, except he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name".

Whoever gets this vaccine implanted on him/her had gotten the mark of the beast which is known as '666' and there is no hope of making heaven for such a person. The person has to perish and rot in hell according to REVELATION 21:8.

Well developed countries of the world like Italy and United States of America where this vaccines were tested experienced high death rate and as a result, they imediately barned the use of the vaccines and suspended the building of the 5G network masts because they had found it being evil and dangerous to health.

What will Nigeria use 5G network for? To browse? To rebuild  their dilapidated roads, schools or their non functional hospitals?

Between 2014 and 2015,  ebola killed and ravaged Africa  compared to COVID-19 so far but no country was entirely locked down. Then why is the 5G coming this time of Chinese sickness?

Well, that will be a talk for another day but for now, say no to Chinese Vaccine Implanting and 5G network in Africa.

Nigeria: IPOB warns Dave Umahi over harassing of Journalists in Ebonyi state

Nigeria: IPOB warns Dave Umahi over harassing  of Journalists in Ebonyi state

Dave Umahi.

IPOB PRESS RELEASE
22/04/2020

The attention  of the great family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide has been drawn to the incessant harrassement, humiliation and arrest of innocent journalists in Ebonyi State since the beginning of this year 2020 by  Dave Umahi.

Gov. Dave Umahi has not stopped  harrassing and giving threatening messages to  journalists in Ebonyi state over their insistence in exposing through their factual reports,  the ongoing genocides and unprovoked attacks against helpless Ebonyi people by Fulani herdsmen, terrorists, and security operatives in some instances. Governor Dave Umahi and his foot soldiers  in Abakiliki Government House have never hidden their sympathy for the Fulani cabals behind the mass atrocities in Biafra land including Ebonyi State just because of his selfish political ambition.

It's no longer in doubt that Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi and his co consiperators have been strategically supporting the humiliation and killing of Ebonyi people since he took over office in 2015. Under governor Dave Umahi's watch in Ebonyi State, journalists who believe in reporting truths are no longer safe.

In the last four days  Governor Dave Umahi has ordered the arrest of Sun Newspaper's Correspondent in Ebonyi state, Mr Chijioke Agwu. Not done yet, just yesterday (Tuesday) 21st of April 2020,  the LGA Chairman in Ebonyi state who was acting on the instructions of Dave Umahi ordered the arrest of Mr Peter Okutu Vanguard Newspaper's Correspondent in the state. These journalists committed no crime other than exposing the atrocities of terrorists and security agents against innocent Biafrans in Ebonyi State.

We, therefore want to put the world on notice how this Saboteur Governor is conniving with the enemies to suppress his own people. We equally want to remind Gov. Umahi  that we have been  watching and monitoring his actions.  His  recent antics to arrest innocent journalists for reporting the truth  will not go unpunished.


It remains a puzzle that Gov. Dave Umahi will turn a blind eye during Fulani herdsmen invasion as well as soldiers' and police killing of innocent people in his State only to resort to intimidation and arrest of innocent journalists for reporting the truth. We advise Dave Umahi and his agents to retrace their steps because on the day of reckoning, their slave masters in Abuja and Sokoto cannot save them.

Governor Dave Umahi must stop his infamous clamp down  on  innocent journalists because they committed no crime against his government. It is the right and duty of journalists as the watch dog of society,  to expose atrocities of both criminals and state actors for the good of all. IPOB will no longer tolerate intimidation, humiliation and arrest of innocent Biafrans including journalists and others residents for no just cause.
