Nigerian Media: Chasing Rats While The House Is Burning!




The way and manner with which the mainstream media in Nigeria tows the government line through the circulation of deceitful/false information and subjecting the unsuspecting public to darkness, is to say the least, most despicable.
Since the militarization of the South-East region began, there have been irrefutable trending news about unlawful arrests, torture, extra-judicial killings, extortion and intimidation. The compromised Nigeran media yet insists on propagating verbatim, reports from the police and other forces. Their statements, headlines and entire reports have turned out to be outright lies or partly made up. The military totally denied the bombardment of innocent Orlu citizens, whom they deliberately targeted within the area in order to provoke a reaction from the operatives of Eastern Security Network (ESN). So many innocent citizens were killed. The embarrassing issue of an innocent man unlawfully arrested and tagged "ESN's second in command" after the slain Ikonso, is a shameless lie dished out by the Nigerian armed forces and carried by the media. That man is above 60 years and does not fall within the age bracket of ESN members, talkless of being a commander. 

The issue of the army denying the bombing of Orlu which was said to have been publicly supported by the Nigerian media, is most saddening. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC Igbo Service), dutifully carried out investigations on the same matter and discovered that a house in Uli in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, was actually touched by air strikes. The Nigerian media have reneged on their journalistic ethics in pursuit of complicits against the plight of the people. They fail to investigate and apply their conscience by interviewing the people concerned to establish the truth. When Ahmed Gulak was assasinated in Owerri, Imo State, in what clearly appeared to be a politically motivated attack, the police quickly concluded that it was ESN operatives that carried out the attack without verifiable evidence. Some able-bodied Biafrans were innocently killed and many others were arrested on mere accusation. A co-occupant of the vehicle that conveyed Gulak had described the assailants as having the appeaeance of ESN members, outfits and vehicles. These formed all the evidence the police needed to extra-judicially perpetrate their heinous act. The Governor later debunked the police story and accepted the killing had political undertone. The killings, torture, arrests, extortion and the assault on civilian communities in Imo State have continued unabated. 

The outrage questioning such concocted evidence was presented through few courageous media outlets which despite threats, have continued to expose the excesses of the army and police on the innocent. Majority of the media houses only depend on the fraudulent police press statements for their publications. An innocent oil worker who visited Imo State for a burial, was paraded as a culprit but was later released because a family member of his in the armed forces intervened. He was detained and asked to bring ten million naira as bail bond by the police team led by Abba Kyari. An innocent church attendant was shot and stripped naked by the same police. He was framed up and presented as an "unknown gunman". The conspiracies of the police with the media via press comferences have helped them to cover up numerous unjustified killings and brutality. Since no one asks questions, they just conduct press comferences that are riddled with lies and the media helps them to propagate hatred and distrust.

There are ongoing secret killings and massive arrests of indigenous citizens. They are being taken away from their houses to unknown locations for possible execution and yet, the Nigerian media keeps mute. Why the blackout on the genocide being committed in the South-East region?

The Nigerian media have been writing all manner of junks and propagating lies about Igbo Muslims in the East, relocating to the North for safety. They said that IPOB are threatening the Igbo Muslim community in the South-East. The media is hereby challenged to provide verifiable evidence about this claim. It is both baseless and malicious targeted at tanishing the image of Biafrans. IPOB has never threatened anyone who has no hand in terrorizing the Biafran people. IPOB is a peaceful and armless movement that peacefully co-exists with other ethnic groups and religious faithfuls within Biafraland. The Nigerian media should desist from instigating ethnic bias, hatred and religious bigotry. How can IPOB threaten their own people, their own flesh and blood? The very same people they are sacrificially fighting to protect?

The struggle for freedom is for all tribes and religious beliefs within Biafraland. In Biafra, you can believe in whatever you want and live peacefully without intimidation.

The agitations across the land stem from years of injustice and government's grave inaction. The media must take responsibility and take unbiased lead against the foregoing for a change! That which clearly stares in the face, cannot be denied.

The Nigerian media should be professional and uphold at all times, journalistic ethics in all it's reportage. It should stop instigating hate by towing the line of a vampiric and insincere government. It can courageously take the lead by ushering in the much needed difference through the publication and propagation of the truth.

Open Letter To Governor Hope Uzodima Of Imo State






Sir, before your appointment to oversee Imo State by the Fulani Caliphate, existed relative peace and tranquility. But since your arrival, everything has suddenly changed to the detriment of the people. It is on record that you were never duely elected as the Imo State Governor, not at all! Yet, the good people of the State welcomed you with outstretched arms despite the fact that you were imposed on them. And not contented with their simplistic gesture, you invited death squads from Aso Rock to kill them, destroy their livelihoods and steal away their peace, in conformity with the acrimonious and vampiric agenda of your employers. What really have Imolites done to you to deserve this wave of inhumane treatment and wickedness? You turned Imo State into a war zone with fighter jets and attack helicopters bombarding and destroying virtually everything and everyone in sight. What was the offence of Imo People?

Sir, can you really account for the actual number of citizens you have intently killed since your assumption of office, as a stooge to the Fulani Caliphate? As I write this letter, there exists restiveness with no atom of peace in the State. People have been so traumatized to freely live in their God-given homeland. You have clothed yourself in the blood of your kit and kin and have won yourself a Fulani medal for killing and abducting your own. I guess you have achieved your life long ambition of decimating your own brothers and sisters. Congratulations to you for this devilish achievement. 

Today, the beloved People of Imo State though still in tears of all the actrocious crimes you have committed against them, hear you say, you are ready for dialogue. Please Sir, permit me to ask you, "Dialogue with who and about what?" Do you want to dialogue with the living whose livelihood and homes you have despicably destroyed, whose sons and daughters you have murderously sent to their early graves? Or you want to dialogue with the dead whose only crime was being citizens of the State?

Dear Hope Uzodima, should you wish to dialogue, kindly go to the land of the dead. There, are over four thousand (4000) souls you wasted. The living have no interest in listening to a murderer. They are in tears and will forever mourn for their loved ones you and your Aso Rock backers tyrannically snatched away. 
And just incase you have forgotten, let me quickly remind you of a vibrant and brave warrior, the great Eastern Security Network Commander, Mr. Ikonso, who committed no crime but you killed him. He was a warrior who swore to keep Imo State safe from the filthy hands of maraudering Fulani Islamic killers and invaders from the Sahel. He was a warrior that you killed in his sleep. If you wish to dialogue, first ask yourself ''what Ikonso's offence to you really was". You did not just kill him, you went ahead and burnt down his only house, leaving his wife and little children, homeless and fatherless. Yet, you shamelessly ask for a dialogue?

May it be known to you that there shall be no dialogue with you in this life and in the hereafter. Relentlessly continue with the destruction of  lives and property in Imo State. Biafrans shall never forget nor shall they ever dialogue with a murderer and someday, you will definitely come to terms with your evil deeds.

Reason Why The Unveiling Of Eastern Security Network (ESN) By Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Remains Justified.




The agitations for the restoration of the sovereign state of Biafra have taken very distinct dimension since the 12th of December 2020. It was on this day's live Radio Biafra broadcast anchored by Mazi Nnamdi kanu, leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), that he (Mazi Kanu), unveiled his plans of possible measures aimed at safeguarding Biafra forests, farmlands, boundaries and citizens. This began that same day with the launching of Eastern Security Network (ESN), which he commissioned this assignment to.

The resurrection of the Biafra spirit in every one that truly have the Biafran blood running in his veins, was as well made possible through this same Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. And one thing that has distinguished him from many Biafran freedom fighters that came earlier, is his genuine intentions. He has sacrificially taken it upon himself to incorruptibly champion this cause until Biafra is realised within the ambit of the United Nations laws for self determination.

Therefore, he has led IPOB into engaging in genuine and legitimate civil disobedience measures like peaceful protests, boycoth of elections and Sit-At-Home. But in all, the government of the day has shown absolutely no remorse. Things have continued to deteriorate to the extent that the Nigerian security forces arrest and kill our people, sell their body parts and force people out of their houses during any sit at home actions in an attempt to preserve Nigeria.
Inspite of that, the unabated attacks and killings of Igbo youths, the federal government has boldly sponsored intruders and the fourth world most deadly terrorist group, Fulani herdsmen to incessantly kill our people, rape our women and destroy our farmlands with their cattles. Terrible indeed!

The IPOB leaderse has used several means possible to draw the attention of the international community, Amnesty International, United Nations, African Union, European Union anx G-Seven, to intervene by stopping all these inhuman threatments on an indigenous people, but to no avail..

Kanu equally proposed a dialogue to the Nigerian government for a debate and demanded that President Buhari (which Kanu claims is being impersonated), should be made to run a DNA test, assuring the government that he will back off on the agitations if he is defeated in the debate or his claim turned out to be false. Yet the government did the worst by murderously invafing Kanu's father's house where thirty (30) Biafran youths were gruesomely killed by thd Nigeria army and his parents (the King and his Queen) later died from the trauma.
In the midst of all these, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never capitulates because he chose first the freedom of his people.

Just when we thought things were getting softened a bit, the worst happened.
A nationwide "Endsars" protest embarked on by Nigerian youths got highjacked by the Rivers State Government. Hoodlums under the leadership of Governor Nyesom Wike were sponsored and their activities resulted in massive killing of Biafrans by the Nigeria security agents in Obigbo local government of the State. Rather than calming down the situation as a governor, Wike who was actually the stage manager of the protest continued in his quest to please his Fulani masters at Abuja, by putting a 24 hours curfew in Obigbo. During which time, there was deployment of the Nigeria military io Obigbo where thousands of youths and pregnant women were massacred. Many women were kidnapped, airlifted to the North and rapped severally on daily basis by the Fulani soldiers in the the Nigerian army.

Now, the question is: which true leader will behold all these continued inhuman treatments against his people and do nothing?

It is therefore with these provocations, added with the negligence and deadly silence from world powers that left the IPOB leadership with no other option than to activate self defence. This is why the formation of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) became a necessity, because Biafraand must be defended.

That one cannot beat a child and ask him/her not to cry is one simple logic that those managing Nigeria have refused to get into their skulls. So, even after the lauch of ESN, the government has become more aggressive, appearing as if they never espected that anyone would save Biafraland from total destruction. But thank God for ESN's formidability. The Fulani forces of Nigeria have witnessed a strong resistance from all ends.

This is why the formation of ESN remains justified, because Biafraland must be protected.

How Terrorism Will Lay Nigeria In Ruin And Biafra Will Stand Tall




DREAM:

Firstly, I share in the widely believed fact that dreams are one of the ways through which spirits communicate with humans. There might a reader of this writing that may have some disagreements with this believe, but most people from my parts of the world (Africa), strongly believe same.

So, it all started as a pocket attack, and there was a big crisis in Niger republic and these terrorists took power with a leader called (basum or basoum)

When they took over Niger republic they realize they needed to expand their territory beyond, so they moved down towards Nigeria and saw that the north has already be conquered. And all through these, two(2) women representing their countries in Nigeria, Britain and America respectively, were still politicizing these attacks until these terrorists moved south. Reaching there, they met a greater resistance, especially in the East, but that didn't stop them from attacking soft targets.

These terrorists were moving in convoy from one community to another, killing and instilling fear. And this was done simultaneously; while some were operating in the west, some were operating in the east.

The terrorists operating in the west were a bit successful because they met little resistance which was as a result of the unpreparedness of the West and also because some people in the west capitalized on this crisis to loot and rob people of their belongings. 

While the terrorists instilled fear, the bad boys where busy robbing and stealing and this made the terrorists' attacks successful. Everyone was running helter skelter. The Lagos we know was deserted. Many who were running, left their vehicles anywhere petrol finished. It was like a world war.

In the East, where the terrorists met stiffer resistance and started attacking soft and weak target, they continued with that tactics, but the opposition force was strong. The woman who represent Britain in Nigeria that would have brought change, but was busy politicizing the terrorist Attacks, was caught up in the fight, she and her American counterpart ran to the east for protection. They were protected but were very ashamed.

When the world intervened, the west had fallen. The world managed to find the base from whence they launched a very devastating attack on the terrorists and amazingly, the East became regained their nation while the rest of Nigeria were laid in ruin.


Lesson: Nigerians should get prepared. This is no longer a joke; It is no more the time to act ignorant of all the things going on everywhere in Nigeria now. Let everyone rather act wisely now by rising in support of justice and self-defense against the onslaughts of these marauding fulani killers.

Lastly, my western brother should be prepare and not allow distractions because there might be no 2023 election.

Unknown Gunmen: Volunteers Or Political Mercenaries?




Haven pondered a while over the activities of Unknown Gunmen, it is evidently and gradually becoming clear that these people are government sponsored terrorists assembled to actually destroy both the tranquil atmosphere and the beautiful image of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Rather than placing round pegs in round holes, some individuals have resorted to apportioning blames to the law abiding indigenous Biafran citizens as being those behind the mask of the unknown gunmen.

Having the full knowledge of Nigerian government's agenda of love for sponsorship of terror-related activities in the Northern part of the country, one should not then be mistaken to conclude that this prevailing situation is yet another covet agenda lined out against the people of the South-East under the garb of Unknown Gunmen. The Nigerian government is somewhat complacent with the crude activities of these men to the extent that even the presidency has wittingly decided not to make any statement aimed at countering the recorded attacks carried out by thees unmasked gunmen. Instead, Bashir Salihi Magashi, told Nigerian citizens to embark on self-defence, a statement rightly confirming the government complicity to the issues of terrorism ravaging the entirety of the country.

Though the people may have been rejoicing at the growing actions of these unknown gunmen because the Nigerian police stations which have been converted to caves of terror against the citizens they are obligated to protect, it yet remains that these unidentifiable gunmen most certainly have the backing of politicians. This cannot conscientiously be denied by the government otherwise, why is it difficult for the officials to make definitive statement about the unfolding but gravely disturbing drama? Up till this very moment, the Nigerian government has remained adamantly unconcerned and rather, has put up unimpressive stance to the morbid destruction  and attacks on police stations and personnel.

The relative peace which the Eastern region (Biafraland) has always had, is presently being threatened by this absurdity that is driven by the powers that be through the instrumentality of the force of these coded armed men. People can no longer be deceived because the Eastern (South-East) region  seem to be in a romantic peace mood with the gun trotters. Two factors however, can only be attributed to the growing activities of these unknown gunmen. These factors are either, that the group has arisen to completely eradicate terror-related activities of the murderous Nigerian security operatives by conversely placing a demand for justice which has been denied them by the Nigerian state or the groomed mercenaries were obligated to orchestrate unrest within the  relatively peaceful South-East region (part of Biafra territories). By so doing, the ground could be readily prepared for the long sought-after legal backing to fully declare Biafraland a war zone. This in every ramification, dedounds to well articulated political ploy tailored towards instilling fear and demonizing the law abiding citizens that have legitimately and peacefully been advocating for a referendum.

The possibility of state-sponsored crime against humanity being committed by the Nigerian government, cannot however, be over-emphasized. In the words of the Nigerian Islamic cleric, Sheikh Abubakar Gumi, in one of his recent interviews as the chief negotiator or spokesperson of Islamic bandits, he pointedly said: "The Nigerian government knows where the bandits stay". This is definitely a direct accusation against the government's undeniable collaboration with the deadly terror elements and their activities. Yet, the bandits can neither be rounded up via arrests or military action. People must learn to channel their thoughts rightly in order not to only clearly sustain the desired future of hope and total emancipation but courageously bring them to reality.

Unknown Gunmen: Direct Consequence Of Government Orchestrated Terror




Daily, law abiding indigenous citizens entrapped in Nigeria especially within Biafraland, have unabatedly been subjected to varying degrees of terroristic mayhem by the Nigerian security operatives without any established provocation. Biafraland has been  in constant siege of both the military and the police. What on earth will warrant even officers of the navy that are supposed to be safeguarding the Nigerian seashores, to be mounting roadblocks in a region that the government has viciously denied access to international water ways (seaports)? The despicable imposition of terror on the law abiding indigenous citizens, forceful abduction, killing, maiming and victimizing with varying degrees of pain being afflicted by the Nigerian armed forces, have remained indescribably awful. The army, customs, navy and police officers indiscriminately mount checkpoints within virtually every known town and community in Biafraland, extorting money, arresting people, causing deaths and creating tortous transits. Today, people come online on the internet to lodge complaints about the activities of some unidentified group of people called " Unkown Gunmen". These complainants have equally failed to critically probe into the fundamental causes behind the  emergence of these unknown gunmen who have taken up the responsibility of getting rid of the criminal activities of the Nigerian murderous security operatives. 

For years, Biafrans have been demonized and gruesomely killed at will in their numbers besides being unjustly incarcerated and intimidated. The progressive dreams of the youths have incessantly been cut short by the illegitimate activities of the Nigerian armed forces which turn around to tag the same oppressed lot, criminals. Those killed and subjected to all forms of inhuman treatments because they are "bloody civilians" have families, loved ones and dependants and yet the laws of the Nigerian state remained ineffectual and unforced even in a democracy. The combined teams of the Nigerian security operatives have today, become laws unto themselves. Justice is only served to the highest bidder or cronies while the poor survives only at the mercy of power wielders. The downtrodden is further dehumanized and framed or served justice through the barrel of the gun. Most of the police stations have become abbatoirs because officers kill their captives and harvest their organs for sale. The victims (captives) are none other than Biafran able bodied youths, mothers and fathers. Most of these victims are abducted from the roadblocks and taken to the stations where this heinous crimes are perpetrated. A practical example is that which has been evidenced from Ezu River in Anambra State where bodies of gruesomely slain Biafrans were seen floating and polluting the water. Their vital organs were comprehensibly evacuatted and disposed off.

What goes around definitely comes around and sometimes with unimaginable consequences. The only way for peace to prevail is for justice to be unbiasedly applied. The Nigerian government cannot in anyway, shy away from the fact that it's officials are the primary instigators of terror within the country. The emergence of unknown gunmen is definitely an incontestable indication of a failed state. A case where justice has become a taboo and freedom of speech/expression/association is regarded as an act of war, is most unfortunate. A country where one's freedom to peaceably live is not guaranteed due to the activities of political schemers, is most disgraceful. For how long really will politicians hold on to the oppression of the people without expecting monumental retaliation or repercussion? Presently, people have arisen to strongly say enough is enough to the enormous humiliation and denial they have suffered over the years. They have arisen to take their destinies in their own hands through the protection of their dreams from extinguishment. The barrel of the terroristic guns of the Nigerian security forces can no longer keep them enslaved even in their own land. The Nigerian Army, Airforce, Navy, Civil Defense, Customs and Excise and the Police that pleasure in illegitimate and indiscriminate mounting of roadblocks across the entirety of Biafraland to extort, kill, maim, abduct and terrorize law abiding Biafran citizens, have now boxed themselves in by the unfolding activities of the unknown gunmen.

One thing remains uncertain and that hinges on the level of police imposed carnage and the Nigerian government's unhidden support to the atrocious activities of Fulani Islamic terrorists. This will definitely compel and hasten the much anticipated dissolution of the Nigerian contraption. State sponsored vices employed to proscribe the Biafran indigenous citizens in their homeland for daring to speak the truth coupled with the dead silence of the Nigerian political terrorists of different cadre will certainly spell doom.

The State Governors, Senators, State and National House members, etcetera, which lay claims to representing their people, should now brace up to the daunting challenges that their actions or inactions have propped up. The people held bound for many years, have now decidedly arisen to extricate themselves from the evil domination and perpetual slavery of jaundiced political experimentation.

The Sudden Mischievous Song Of Restructuring And Unity By The Northern Fulani Leaders



The romance of mischievousness being orchestrated against the South-East region by the Nigerian Fulani led government, is by no means another vista of strategy aimed essentially at beguiling the gullible and the faint-hearted. They have severally come up with diverse strategies solely aimed at destroying further, the bond of unity being preached by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Do not fall for the current chameleonic exhibitions because the agenda remains unchanged. The Northern Fulani leadership alongside most of it's citizens have never concealed their hatred for the success of Igbo speaking Biafrans particularly. Right from the time of Tafawa Balewa, the ultimate task of the Fulani controlled Northern Nigeria, has remained the demonization of the Igbos. His agenda to economically strangulate the Igbos has dispassionately led to the gross economic decadence of every other indigenous ethnic nationality within the entire Biafra territory. Their recent disgusting antics could be explicitly analyzed.

The recent push for the emancipation and glory of the sovereign Biafran nation through enlightened/disciplined act of peaceful protests, rigorous and well articulated media thrust, historical updates and an organized security outfit, have left the Nigerian Fulani government at the crossroads of it's evil machinations. It plotted to drive it's morbid jihadi conquest to a swift and irresistible conclusion with the dipping of the Qur'an in the Atlantic Ocean. The Nigerian government haven therefore foreseen this height of unusual determination by Biafrans amidst unabated killings, intimidations, economic strangulation, state-sponsored terrorism via the instrumentality of the military and police, is helplessly left with no other option than to fashion out a new pathway of attack.

Firstly, the drivers decided to foster cumbersome unity of purpose christened North-East Governors Forum, with baptized Fulani stooges who disguise as Igbo leaders, stationed within to do their evil biddings across Biafraland. This debasement is aimed at showcasing to the global community via the compromised media, that the Nigerian leadership is really in charge of affairs whereas the people themselves fully know that the country is really in an irreversible comatose. On what pemise then is the newly created cult called North-East Governors Forum anchored? What is it's bearing or improvement on the economic development of the gravely impoverished Biafran people? Note however, that the Biafra region is the lifeline of the entire Nigerian contraption and yet host communities greviously wallow in abject poverty. The North-East Governors Forum sternly stand opposed to the reopening of seaports across Biafraland, will not make for the provision of regular electricity power supply, campaign for the creation/reopening of international airports nor ensure an unbridled freedom of speech and association.

Secondly, these people are surreptitiously soliciting for a referendum. To them, it has become a gift. Without due consultation, the Fulani government of Nigeria has unilaterally decided to go for restructuring aimed solely at inciting and destroying the very economic stability of the indigenous populace. They now create states based on ethnic groupings, thereby cementing further, their age long strategy of nepotism and biasness along regional borders. This is craftily orchestrated to infuse more disorderliness and terror thereby, further aggravating the tilt towards economic imbalance which certainly, will have elongated bitter effects of tussles within state boundaries.

For Biafrans, the bridge must assuredly be crossed. Their demand for restructuring has spilled the people's blood, muffled their economy, eliminated lineages of heroes/heroines, stolen the people's finances, etcetera.  Presently, the rubicon has been painstakingly crossed, the veil of fear of death and intimidation has been turn into shreds and without fear or favor, the match to a glorious total emancipation, peaks. This wave of carnage, enslavement, subjection, penury and shame to the blessed land of Biafra, is forever defeated.

To the Nigerian Fulani government, Biafraland will never ever again, be overrun by the militia vampires. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever. Biafran blood has enough been drained and covenanted along the line. It cannot be alternated.

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?

OPEN LETTER TO THE NEW UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR TO NIGERIA, MARY BETH LEONARD

OPEN LETTER TO THE NEW UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR TO NIGERIA, MARY BETH LEONARD

Dear Madam,

Calvary greetings! When the news of your appointment as the new Ambassador of the United States of America to Nigeria was broken, I was personally overwhelmed with joy, tagging it "US Christmas gift to the continent of Africa, West Africa sub-region and of course, Nigeria". Having known the stuff women of your caliber represent in our contemporary world, I know that your coming to Nigeria at this material time, will definitely be a blessing in revolutionary terms.

There is no doubt that the name Nigeria and all it's associated intrigues may not be strange to you. Nigeria is one of the countries in the West African sub-region, harboring the most deadliest terrorist groups (Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen) in the world, as well as the world's headquarters of poverty. It also ranks as the most backward/bastardized countries globally, despite the enormous natural resources It is endowed with. Nigeria is second as a country, where mostly persecuted Christian population is inhabited. The country is vulgar, dirty, noisy, ostentatiously corrupt and dishonest. In fact "it is amongst the most unpleasant places on the planet earth to be", according to the Nobel laureate winner, Professor Chinua Achebe of blessed memory.

Nigeria is a "litmus paper country" that turns blue to red. In it, truth and justice are anathemaic. It is an entity where financially induced touts are set against truth bearers. A place where supposed judges will proudly tell you that their hands are tied against justice delivery. A place where professional lawyers are grossly compromised to strictly peddle lies/deception against helplessly victimized citizens. Nigeria is a country where journalists are heavily paid to write and publish lies and junks in order not just to criminalize the innocent but to also hoodwink the gullible. They do not carry out detailed/unbiased investigation before dissemination of their news. This maladious enterprise was adequately summarized by the global leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu when pointedly stated: "if you pay Nigerian journalists well, they will report the goodness of Satan".

Ma, it is also necessary to state here that most Nigerian leaders/elites are celebrated thieves and killers from whom the youths take after. Even the late President Muhammadu Buhari in one of his comments said that "youths are lazy". They are kidnappers, certificate forgers, diabolic, mentally regressed, terrorists, killers, inventors and sponsors of evil who treasure wickedness. Military and police operatives are ready and willing tools in the perpetration of human rights abuses. They blatantly engage in bribery and all forms of criminality. In Nigeria, the police is regarded as a force used alongside the army to extort money at different check points, indiscriminately arrest, brutalise and even kill the innocent.  There is no rule of law. The government gives no recourse to constitutional stipulations as provided. Call for a referendum is termed as a declaration of war, resulting in treasonable felony charges against peaceful freedom agitators. In Nigeria, professors abound with no definite research works that will improve lives. You also have thousands of army generals with no war records. It also harbors fake pastors and deceitful prophets. Because it is a fantastically corrupt country, most unguided people who come with truth and equity, get mercilessly tainted before long. Christians are referred to as infidels, persecuted and gruesomely killed at will by Islamic terrorists, fully supported by the government.

Dear Ma, this letter is not meant to scare you but to aid you in your assignment so that you will remain untainted throughout your period of stewardship and representation of your country. The Nigerian issues need be approached with utmost care of respect for humanity which quite unlike your predecessor, was said by the Nigeria former Aviation Minister, chief Femi Fani-Kayode, to be Obama's Ambassador instead of the United States'. The reasons why your pragmatic President, Mr. Donald Trump called Muhammadu Buhari a lifeless President, clearly abound. Without further instances, you have equally heard about US placing of Nigeria in "Special Watch List" of nations. It's persecution and killing of Christians are provocatively alarming. This is what it really represents, "death and misery". My happiness ma, hinges on the fact that your kind of person is what Nigeria deserves. The atrocities being committed in the country particularly, need be duly exposed and adequately punished.

As you work therefore for the sanctity of humanity and the awesome people of God Almighty, Biafrans especially, may the King of glory Himself, richly bless, guide and strengthen you ma, Amen.

Yours faithfully

RUGA DICHOTOMY: "TO YOUR TENTS OH INDIGENOUS TRIBES IN NIGERIA"!

RUGA DICHOTOMY: "TO YOUR TENTS OH INDIGENOUS TRIBES IN NIGERIA"!


If really there exists anything presently which has the capacity of definitively remedying the sorry situation and constituting the final antidote to the persistent insults of the Fulani oligarchy on the various indigenous nations entrapped in the Nigerian contraption, it would not certainly be a mere suspension of the devilish policy called RUGA. It should be an outright declaration of "TO YOUR TENTS OH INDIGENOUS TRIBES IN NIGERIA"!. It is quite unbelievably unfortunate that an insignificant nomadic foreign tribe like the Fulanis, which migrated from the Sahel region of Africa to Nigeria, with a meagre population numbering less than nine million, will be holding the entire Nigerian population to ransome. The daftness of the Hausas with a population strength of about sixty million, the grossly chameleonic lifestyle of the Yorubas numbering about fifty million and the already agitating Biafrans with an intimidating population of over seventy million, gave room to this. Recall that just recently, the Fulani oligarchy, hiding under the umbrella of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), hit the height of insult on the Igbo race by bluntly demanding for the establishment of Fulani vigilante services in Biafraland. Infact, those who projected such an insultive demand before the Igbo race went away with it because the Fulani political slaves occupying political offices in the South-East called governors were all privy, otherwise such a demand ought to have been accorded catastrophic response.

It must be noted as well that right from onset, the Fulani oligarchy has been holding the indigenous inhabitants of Northern Nigeria especially the Hausas, Nupes, Beroms, Gwaris, Katafs, Kanuris, Junkuns amongst others captive through the instrumentality of jihadi conquest and expansionism inherent in the crass establishment of emirates stools. Such could be seen in the positions of Sultan of Sokoto (Sokoto State), Emir of Kano (Kano State),  Emir of Zazzau (Zaria, Kaduna State),   Emir of Ilorin (Kwara State), Emir of Gumi (Kebbi State), Emir of Bauchi (Bauchi State), Lamido of Adamawa (Adamawa State), Emir of Lafia (Nasarawa State), Emir of Wase (Plateau State) and all other indigenous nations within Northern Nigeria. With the above mentioned emirates amongst others across the North, the Fulani cabals fully conquered and reduced the indigenous inhabitants of Northern Nigeria to irredeemable political slaves. This is the only reason why Benue, Taraba and Plateau States Governors happen to be exclusive indigenous extractions from the lot while other nineteen states of the North are under the governorship grip of Fulani expansionist conquerors.

The Yorubas of Western Nigeria are also stuttering under the yoke of Fulani oligarchical captivity through the Islamic expansionist policy. Islam made 60% of the entire Yoruba population to pledge allegiance to the Sokoto caliphate, with the Jagaban of Yorubaland - Senator Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, inclusive. Make no mistake about it, it should be noted that virtually all Yoruba monarchs including the Oba of Lagos, Alaafin of Oyo, Olubadan of Ibadan, Ooni of Ife and numerous others in Yorubaland are all Islamic slaves. But the height of insult to them all, is the establishment of Emirship stool in Ilorin, Kwara State, where a Fulani Islamic conquerer reigns supreme. The totality of Kwara being a 100% Yoruba State is shamefully being ruled by Fulani traditional rulers under Emirship designates in Ilorin. Biafrans on the other hand, are also under the captivity of this tiny but powerful hypnotic alien Fulani Islamists. Obviously, to them, the over two hundred years failed use of jihadi conquest like that which befell the Hausas and the Yorubas, made them to desperately resort to criminal military intimidation and occupation of Biafraland. That plot gave rise to the indiscriminate erection of military barracks, outposts, bases and checkpoints with Fulani Islamic commanders doting every nook and cranny of the land. This they reasoned will facilitate prompt military suppression in the event of any Biafra revolt or revolution.

However, what utmostly matters presently is not apportioning of blames to any tribe or indigenous nations criminally lumped together in the grossly unworkable Nigerian federation. It is rather to call to mind, the self-serving, sadistic and nepotistic declaration of Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello on the 12th of October 1960, as captured by the Parrot Magazine, which yet clearly serves the cause of the jihadistic mindest of the Nigerian Fulani oligarchy. In the said declaration, Sir Ahmadu Bello clearly stated: "The new nation called Nigeria will be an estate of our great grandfather, Othman Dan Fodio. We (Fulanis) are going to  ruthlessly prevent any change of power outside the North. We (Fulanis) will use the minorities of the North as willing tools and the South (Biafra and Oduduwa) as conquered territories.  We will never allow them to rule over us and will never allow them to have control of their future".

Critically examining the above statements from Alhaji Ahmadu Bello, a Fulani, which nobody, tribe or indigenous nation directly challenged since 12th October 1960 till date, provokes the feeling that all the indigenous tribes with Igbos inclusively lumped in the unfortunate enclave called Nigeria, inadvertently called for is brazenly happening before our very eyes today. The  Igbo tribe (Biafra) is included in the mess because their reason for the secessionist attempt of 1967 was not a direct response to the afore-mentioned but entirely due to implementation in the process of time. But kudos to the Biafran people however for courageously declaring in present times, that enough is enough to this sickening Fulani domination of Nigeria. Now is the set time for all the indigenous inhabitants of Nigeria to join hands with Biafrans to defiantly foster "TO YOUR TENTS OH INDIGENOUS TRIBES IN NIGERIA", as declared. The ongoing spate of flagrant insults of the Fulani oligarchy must have to be desicively contained and expunged. It is a necessity for all the tribes in the Nigerian federation to fully revolt against this raging madness and send them back to the Sahel region of Sahara desert from where the people were invaded. The RUGA policy suspension is not a  commensurate payback to these marauders over their relentless insult on the indigenous people. What will suffice is a venomous revolution which the alien federal Islamic government of Nigeria with the usage of their occupational military across the Southern part of the country wittingly crave for. If the indigenous tribes are terrified therefore to revolt against this evil, then they and especially Biafrans should get readily prepared to lick their own wounds as the Fulanis come up with more deadly insults of enslavement alongside policy somersaults of the hypocritical Nigerian government.

SPECIAL REPORT: IPOB OGINIGBA ZONAL DELEGATES PAY COURTESY VISIT TO THE AFRICAN REPRESENTATIVE

SPECIAL REPORT: IPOB OGINIGBA ZONAL DELEGATES PAY COURTESY VISIT TO THE AFRICAN REPRESENTATIVE

A delegation of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Oginigba Zone in Igweocha Province, on Wednesday 24th April 2019, paid a courtesy visit to the African Representative of this global family, Mazi George Onyeibe  in Agbor, Delta State, Biafraland. The delegation which was led by Mazi Onyedikachi Bright Uba, the Oginigba zonal coordinator, had Nyedike (Chief) Richard Mgbechikwere Dike (Oginigba indigene), Mazi Udechukwu Uwakwem Simeon (Biafra Veteran), Mrs. Ngozi Sandra George  (Women leader) and Mazi Peter Oshagwu (Media).

The African Representative who is also the Nigerian National Interim Coordinator and Anchor, Radio Biafra Extra, accompanied by Mazi Harry Onyema (South-South Regional Coordinator) and Mazi Onyemachi Peters (Igweocha Elders Secretary), welcomed the delegates amidst joy and exchange of pleasantries. Formal introductions were made and kola nuts duly presented in line with the culture and tradition of the Biafran people. Prayer of thansksgiving was offered to Chukwuokike Abiama (God Almighty) by Nyedike (Chief) Richard Mgbechikwere Dike for the presentation.

Making the intent of the visit known, the leader of the delegation, Mazi Onyedikachi Bright Uba, stated that it was hinged on the revelation about the deliverance and survival of life-threatening attacks visited on Mazi George Onyeibe by the enemies around us and wondered why people should even contemplate taking the life they never gave. He thanked God on behalf of the zone for the awesome protection, recovery and security of the African Representative and his family who have remained sources of courage to the IPOB Family particularly in Oginigba zone, pledging that the zone will do all within it's powers to extend necessary supports.

Chief Richard Dike in his contribution, gave thanks to God for the life, sustenance, provision and protection of Mazi George Onyeibe whom alongside Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB leader and his deputy, Mazi Uche Mefor, has taken great encouragement and inspiration in the Biafra restoration struggle, despite distractions and persecutions. He maintained that his love for the African Representative has really peaked since he started listening to his daily broadcast on Radio Biafra Extra, with exceptional tutorials and enlightenment about our history as Biafrans. He passionately requested that Mazi Onyeibe should through his anchored programs, help educate and correct our people on the erroneous history of IHURUOHA PEOPLE, who are today being referred to as IKWERRE PEOPLE in Igweocha.

Mrs. Ngozi Sandra George (IPOB Oginigba Women leader), thanked God Almighty for the gift of the African Representative/National Interim Coordinator, to Biafrans. She said that Radio Biafra Extra programs anchored by him especially in early morning hours have remained her darling amongst others and gave the assurance that the antics of the enemies both within and without, will always crumble as the Biafra restoration project is God-driven. He encouraged Mazi George Onyeibe to remain courageous and warned IPOB family members to eschew evil by keeping their hands unsoiled.

Mazi Udechukwu Uwakwem Simeon (Biafra Veteran), expressed joy for the ample opportunity and privilege provided, for a one-on-one interaction with a loving, dogged, faithful and courageous brother in the fight for our collective freedom as a people. He alluded to the fact that the ongoing highly intellectual approach being meticulously adopted by the IPOB leadership in the restoration struggle is synonymous with the Biafra arms struggle of the sixties as both phases have corresponding battlefields, successes, purposes and casualties. He maintained that he will very readily return to the trenches if duty calls in the defense of our fatherland and our people. The Biafra veteran encouraged the African Rep. to remain unruffled and assured him of needed support from Biafra hardcore activists.

Mazi Onyemachi Peters (Igweocha Elders Secretary) who also came visiting, called on the delegation to intensify prayers as they get back to their zone for the well-being of the African Rep. He thanked the delegates for the brotherly love exhibited by coming all the way, despite engagements.

Mazi George Onyeibe, expressing delight over the visit, gave shocking revelations and testimonies pertaining his experiences from enemies in the cause of the struggle. He atributed his survival, strength and courage to the love of God Almighty who has in every occasion of the enemies' attacks and buffetings, showed Himself exceptionally faithful.  He gave random but brief educative insights on the history of the "divide and rule" policies foisted on Biafrans by the British colonialists and the agents of the Nigerian successive governments. The Radio Biafra Extra Anchor, called for unity, love, synergy and discipline amongst IPOB family members as we approach our destination.

He pointedly warned all dedicated IPOB family members to be wary against the growing wave of evil machinations being floated by saboteurs, snitches, traitors and propagandists both within and without. The leadership of Oginigba zone was enjoined to maintain clean records in it's dealings with the members. The need to be transparent and firm in the activities of the family was equally emphasized. The African Representative maintained that it is such qualities that will clearly play out as vindicators in the face of accusations. He stressed the need for strict adherence to the principle of "command and control" in all IPOB related issues as explicitly laid down by the global leadership. Responding to the call for the only source of communication/information which are through Oginigba Zonal Media Head and the Zonal Coordinator) between his office and the zone, as requested for by Mazi Udechukwu U. S. and Mazi Onyedikachi Bright Uba, the Interim National Coordinator,  stated that the channel of communication can never be disputed so long we apply ourselves to the principle of "command and control".

Mazi Harry Onyema (South-South Regional Coordinator), eulogised the effort of the zone for taking the encouraging decision to pay the African Rep. such a unique visit, the distance notwithstanding. He advised that the delegates on getting back home, should initiate strategies that will help our people realistically, in coming to terms with the overriding Biafra restoration struggle. Our people need to be reached with the restoration gospel no matter the costs, he further maintained.

Mazi George Onyeibe, physically overwhelmed by the visit, appreciated the delegation for the gesture. He encouraged the members to be focused and undeterred; and wished them safe ride back to Igweocha.

Okey Igbokwe To Rev. Father Moses Laripuu -- Rather than blame the Igbo and accuse them of showing no sympathy, blame the international community for keeping quiet

Okey Igbokwe To Rev. Father Moses Laripuu -- Rather than blame the Igbo and accuse them of showing no sympathy, blame the international community for keeping quiet

In October 2016, a group under the aegis of Conference of Minority Tribes of Nigeria (CMTN) led by one Comrade Samson Ayodele Balola issued a press statement threatening to take the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB to the ICC for allegedly masterminding the killing of Fulani herdsmen in Abia state and further called for a ban on the group which has been threatening the existence of Minority Tribes in Nigeria and the peaceful existence of the country. It turned out later that the claim of the killing of Fulani herdsmen in Abia state was false, not to talk of being carried out by the IPOB.

Later in 2017, a group, Advocates for Social Justice for All (ASJA) staged a protest at the British embassy calling for the extradition of Nnamdi Kanu and ban on IPOB for threatening the peaceful existence of Nigeria.

Various groups from the middle belt started springing up demanding secession in response to the IPOB call for freedom of the Indigenous peoples from the grip of the Fulani if IPOB is not banned.

Finally IPOB was proscribed as a terrorist group and Nnamdi Kanu and his family chased under ground.

IPOB and Kanu merely called for a democratic process where the indigenous people can legally express themselves via referendum vote to decide how they can exist as one in Nigeria or exit. They did not call for war. They did not invade any tribe and tried to coerce them with force.

Fulani herdsmen has upped their game of killing and massacre of the indigenous people of the middle belt since Muhammadu Buhari who is their grand patron came to power with full state support and protection.

We now expect the reaction from Comrade Samson Ayodele's CMTN, ASJA or secessionist groups from the middle belt calling for a collective action against the murderous Fulani herdsmen, but they are nowhere to be found.

Father Moses Laripuu, in his statement on the killing of Catholic Church worshipers including two priests in Makurdi had lamented that the East (Igbo) is showing no sympathy in the ongoing killings by the Fulani herdsmen in Benue state.

The Igbo led IPOB was roundly condemned by all ethnic groups in Nigeria for threatening to break it up and cause war simply for asking for referendum. All the ethnic nationalities currently under the siege of Fulani imperialism should have used the window of opportunity provided by the IPOB to make their voices known and emphasize their right for freedom, but it seems the only thing that unite Nigerian minority tribes the most is when it is a case involving the Igbo. Ndi Igbo can not carry arm to go and defend Benue people. Doing so will attract them another unified gang up and massacre that occurred in 1966. Some will tag it that the Igbo want to take over the middle belt and conquer them. Senator Joseph waku had claimed the reason IPOB included Benue state in their struggle was that the Igbo do not have enough land space to accommodate their Biafra and may face subsequent hunger when they go, that's why they want to take over the state.

Dear, Father Moses Laripuu, the Igbo is not aloof. We have the greatest sympathy for your plight. But the problem is that the Igbo is incapable of doing what you ask them to do. We would have done our best if we had the means. The Igbo is not in control of the security forces of Nigeria. They are not the head of the federal government. Involving them in the ongoing crises in Benue would be to aggravate their own plight. They are yet to recover from the brutal massacre they suffered in the hands of fellow Nigerians in 1966. It'd be pertinent if you call on the umbrella groups that sprang up from the middle belt to oppose IPOB agitation to add their voices with the energy they did to IPOB to help in attracting the attention of the international community on what is going on in the region. Let them also march to the British high commission and other world embassies to protest the killings.

Ndi Igbo, East are not also safe from the Fulani marauders. Who knows when they are through with Benue, their next target may not be the East?



Rather than blame the Igbo and accuse them of showing no sympathy, blame the international community, CMTN, AsJA and RONDEL groups for keeping quiet.

How can Nigeria through Justice Binta Nyako, lock up people for over two years without any evidence whilst the army is busy killing and looking for evidence to justify the charges. Is it not the case that in Common Law, as practiced in Nigeria, you obtain credible evidence before you charge a suspect to court? After reading this brief synopsis of the phantom treasonable felony trial, the world will understand why the Nigerian government were desperate to link IPOB to the purported importation of pump action guns from Turkey.

For two years Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi, Bright Chimezie Ishinwa, Chidiebere Onwudiwe who are all facing treasonable felony charge with Nnamdi Kanu were denied bail because according to Buhari's government, the charge of treasonable felony is not ordinarily bailable- whatever that means. They have been held illegally, according to legal rules and procedures, in detention in Northern Nigeria, on a charge that the state of Nigeria is yet to place any evidence before the courts. This is not only criminal, it is sheer evil. As ridiculous as this may sound, it is true.

Going by the ruling of Justice Binta Nyako, attached below and highlighted in yellow ink, she made it clear in simple English that there is no material evidence placed before her court to justify the sustenance of the frivolous treasonable felony charge. Instead she gave the prosecution time to produce a tape and bring witnesses. Where on earth have you heard or seen such a thing before. You hold somebody in custody on a bogus charge, you then give the government time to go and fish for evidence. Yes, that was exactly what Buhari's government pressured Justice Binta Nyako to do. Read it for yourself below.

In this bizarre injudicious ruling, Justice Binta Nyako acknowledged and wrote it down in her ruling that the only evidence Buhari's government was relying on (alleged tape recording) and witnesses will be tendered at a later date. What this means is that there is till date no evidence to back up treasonable felony charge before Binta Nyako court but she miraculously decided to detain innocent people without any evidence because Buhari her fellow Fulani Muslim Northerner and ruler of Nigeria wants her to use the courts to effect what amounts to extra judicial detention of innocent Biafrans.


In any court of law in any civilised part of the world, Binta Nyako will be de-robed and sent to jail for perverting the course of justice. You don't lock up innocent people asking for referendum and throw away the keys because the government don't like what they are saying. You detain people based on the strength of the evidence against them not because of their ethnicity and unsubstantiated trumped up charges. Unfortunately in Nigeria, when Buhari and his APC party says a person should be locked up, that person is locked up even without evidence.

Here you have it in black and white, in the words and ruling of Binta Nyako that the much taunted treasonable felony charge against Kanu and others have no accompanying evidence or witnesses before any court of law; and this is after 2 whole years. The lawyers should do the needful tomorrow and ask for the charge of treasonable felony to be thrown out. All detainees should be granted unconditional release because it's grave injustice to hold somebody without evidence or trial for 2 years.

The truth is that this government of Buhari is not prepared for any treasonable felony trial because they have no evidence as Justice Nyako said in her ruling. That is why they use adjournment after adjournment to frustrate the case and when Kanu secured bail, they went to his house to kill him before the next court date. If Nigeria had any case they are confident of winning in a court of law, they would have allowed Kanu to appear in court.

 We must all demand for the unconditional release of Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi, Bright Chimezie Ishinwa, Chidiebere Onwudiwe and others. Say no to judicial thuggery.
