The Igbo Race And The Pain Of Having Incapacitated Elders And Leaders

 The Igbo Race And The Pain Of Having Incapacitated Elders And Leaders

It is quite disheartening and sickening, beholding the type of elders and leaders we have in Igboland and all around Biafra. It is such a disgusting sight that I as a person,

sometimes run out of options than to say "it would have been best if we never had them and if death could just wipe off all those occupying the leadership position in our land". It is never a taboo to have elders or leadership structure else, we would not institute one. 

How come it has landed us in this state of great concern as a result of the way the people occupying these positions treat us? We only mean something to them during elections but turn out to become nonentities after the elections. This has led to our questioning ourselves if we are the cause of our problems. Where and how have we gotten it wrong? What is it that we supposed to have really done that we have not? Yet, we have not found ourselves in any wrong.

One thing is to be noted. When I carefully go through some parts of history, I get convinced that all these, boil down to the fact that Igbos and Biafrans at large, were never designed by the creator to be part of this so-called "one nigeria". Our people were never consulted and so never took part in designing what is today the situation of this country. From the onset of the architectural design of Nigeria, the British made Northerners to have control of the country, while every other people in the enclave are to be their slaves, more especially the South-Easterners.

That is why you see the uneducated Northerner controlling the affairs of the educated Southerner in their "one Nigeria", even in this 21st century. Therefore, when we think we have leaders and elders over us, they are simply higher slaves that are only adhering to the biddings of their Northern slavemasters. This has so incapacitated Igboland and her leadership system in a way that before any potential leader is allowed into a political position, even in his own local government area, he must surrender himself to the wills of the North, pay some dues to the Northern elites and promise to play to their tunes. The North installs leaders of their choice for us, not minding if we voted someone else or not. The case of the Supreme Court Governor, Hope Uzodimma of Imo State is a clear example.

However, this leadership failure in Igboland cannot be fully talked about without apportioning a good cut of the blame to the selfishness of these leaders themselves. They shamelessly succumb into playing the Northern card to maintain their political positions at the expense of their own people's well being. This is why the likes of Nyesom Wike and Hope Uzodimma, the governors of Rivers and Imo States respectively, impenitently invited the Nigeria fulanized military to kill their own people whom they are meant to protect. This they did just because their Fulani masters ordered them to do so. 

Hope Uzodimma's own aggression is on currently and so tensely infused against the Eastern Security Network (ESN) because the security outfit, made up of men who love their fatherland, have sworn to defend it at all costs against such senseless killings. Tell me why a leader would be against an outfit whose only goal is to help protect the farmers and farmlands from the deadly Fulani terror herdsmen.  Why do you think the whole Igbo elders are dead silent? They only care to maintain their leadership positions. So the Nigerian government can go on and roll out it's tanks full of ammunition at Orlu to crush ESN operatives who have not committed any crime.

The Igbo leaders Should hide their faces in shame for conniving with this Fulani government of Nigeria against Biafrans. These Fulani leaders are proudly negotiating with their brother terrorists and bandits and offering them tens of millions of naira. Yet, Igbo leaders cannot learn. It shows that the Igbos neither have elders nor leaders, but rather, Fulani slaves. Therefore, our safety is in our own hands. Let us all arise now and join the voice of freedom that is calling from a far country and reclaim our dignity ones and for all via Nnamdi Kanu.

Terrorism: Northern Nigeria Leadership And Their Defence Of The Global Fourth Deadliest Terror Group

 Terrorism: Northern Nigeria Leadership And Their Defence Of The Global Fourth Deadliest Terror Group

The heightened level of hypocrisy coupled with the disgusting display of insanity, coming from the Northern leadership of Nigeria, on the part of the Fulani killer herdsmen, is terribly amazing. This group of terrorists is the fourth most deadliest, according to global terror index ranking. In a country that has the level of atrocity being routinely committed by the Fulani herdsmen terrorists against law abiding citizens, the Northern leaders have always stoutly stood in defence, with the Nigerian media being the willing tool employed for the dissemination of accompanying false narratives. The Nigerian media must as a matter of expediency, apply itself to the consciousness of humanity and guiding ethics in it's untamed reportage of falsehood.

In this 21st century, the Nigeria Northern leaders have persistently been pushing the narrative of cattle routes which to every sane mind, is no longer fashionable in any part of the world. The former governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda, in his recent interview, painted the picture through his announcement to the global community that the fourth most deadliest terror organization (Fulani herdsmen), were being mistreated. 

The question then is, why are the Northern governors and the legislative arms of their respective State  Governments, hell-bent on defending the indefensible? Why  has the Nigerian government not deemed it yet fit, to proscribe these Fulani killer herdsmen despite their criminalities? Why are the Northern governors and the Nigerian government in complicit, defending the atrocities of these blatant Islamic murderers?

According to Isa Yuguda, these people are Fulani herdsmen and the world clearly knows them as terrorists whose activities are clearly evident in Nigeria. They have consistently carried out gruesome acts of criminality like murder, rape, forceful land grabbing, amongst others which rightly describe them as terrorists. The Nigerian Inspector-General of Police, in the contrast, surprisingly gave a tacit confirmation to the general public on the floor of the Nigerian Senate that these same Fulani herdsmen who live in the bushes and forests, are foreigners and not Nigerians. 

Despite the ban placed on Open Grazing as a result of the terror-related activities of these marauding cattle herders, the Nigerian government and it's Northern collaborators, have so arrogantly  refused to enforce the law. They have instead, pushed the narrative that these Islamic terrorists are pastoralists. If therefore, these cattle herders that are constituting nuisances/insecurity, brandishing varying degrees of unlicensed assault weapons like AK47 under the cloak of pastoralists are truly foreign terrorists, why then is the Northern leadership frantically putting up defence against their atrocious activities? Why are they canvassing that the Nigerian government should grant them (terrorists), unfettered access to the lands of the indigenous citizens?

This "One-Nigeria" project is by all indication, a complex scam which has clearly placed various ethnic nationalities and their peoples in a state of pandemonium. Collectively, the Southern part of Nigeria must raise it's voice against the damning upsurge of terrorism being masterminded by the Nigerian leaders. It is systematically being driven by these Fulani killer herdsmen. It is important therefore, to categorically state here that these Fulani cattle herders are by every assessment, neither pastoralists nor farmers and have definitely in no way, contributed to the growth of the Nigerian economy. They are Northern Islamic foot soldiers unleashed on Nigerians in line with years of well plotted agenda of overruning everybody. Their stock in trade is intimidation, death and domination. They have to be vehemently contained, resisted and defeated.

Nigeria: Gunmen Attack Abayi Police Station In Aba, Abia State

 Gunmen Attack Abayi Police Station In Aba, Abia State

Information obtained by Family Writers Press International on Tuesday 23rd February 2021, has it that gunmen swiftly attacked Abayi police station in Aba, Abia State, totally destroying and burning down the station, vehicles and carting away arms and ammunition. It was also reported that some police personnel were not that fortunate to escape the fire power of the gunmen as they fell victims.

Interviewed residents suggested that suspected criminal elements whose colleagues were previously arrested and detained, angrily came visiting the police station fully armed, to free their members from custody. This attempt however resulted in a fierce gun duel, with the Abayi police station totally set ablaze. The residents further stated that they are currently being subjected to dehumanizing harassments and random mass arrests by the police.

Meanwhile, the Abia State police authorities have readily promised paying one million naira (N1,000,000.00) ransom to anyone that could provide clues that would assist the officers in unravelling the identities of the perpetrators.

Any Military Attack On Eastern Security Network (ESN), Is An Attack Against Us---Igbo Youths Group

 Any Military Attack On Eastern Security Network (ESN), Is An Attack Against Us---Igbo Youths Group

Igbo Youth Assembly for Peace and Security (IYAPS), has registered it's pleasure over what they described as a conspiracy by the Nigerian government and the governors of the South-East region. They plan to crush the Eastern security outfit named Eastern Security Network (ESN), even at such a time like this when security is needed more than ever. The Igbo Youth Assembly rose up from their Annual General Meeting which was held in Umuahia, Abia State recently, with a declaration that any attack on the Eastern Security Network (ESN), is a direct attack on all Igbo youths globally. They clearly emphasized that ESN simply stands for both male and female youth that are born in Biafraland, comprising both South-East and South-South regions of the present day Nigeria.

The National Coordinator of the  Igbo Youth Assembly, Ogbuefi Chukwudi Ogbodo who briefed newsmen after the annual convention, stated that Igbo youths all over the world, view the development as a declaration of war against them by Hope Uzodimma of Imo State. This is the man that callously invited the Nigerian military to invade, attack and wipe out the operatives of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), in Orsu and Orlu Local Government Areas of the State, simultaneously. 

Ogbuefi Chukwudi Ogbodo said that the ESN is a people-oriented security outfit which has been overwhelmingly accepted by all the Igbos with the exception of the minority few criminal political elites that are hell bent on destroying the security goodwill, put in place for the people. These criminal politicians are plotting to have a leeway in the service of the interest of their Abuja-based slavemasters at the detriment of the indigenous farmers within the rural communities. He however maintained that there stands no amount of intimidation or military siege that will tilt Igbo youths away from their support to the Eastern Security Outfit. Nobody in particular is an ESN operative but an involvement of every able bodied youth in the entirety of Biafraland which Igbo territories rightly belong.

On contact with Family Writers Press International, the National Secretary of Igbo Youths Assembly for Peace and Security (IYAPS), Barrister Nzubechukwu Anazodo, through a telephone conversation, strongly insisted that Igbo youths will not in anyway fold their hands and be watching helplessly as the selfish politicians destroy ESN which took Igbo youths years of sleepless nights to create. He pointedly stated that since 12th of December 2020 when the ESN was unveiled, Igbo peasant farmers have experienced big sigh of relief in their farming endeavors within the rural areas. He concluded that whoever that touches ESN, definitely touches all the youths of the communities throughout the length and breadth of Igboland and should be prepared to contend with the anger of the people.

Conspiracy Against Eastern Security Network In Biafraland Must Be Resisted

 Conspiracy Against Eastern Security Network In Biafraland Must Be Resisted

Political office holders in Biafraland particularly within the South-East region, has governors that have actually assumed the position of the enemies against their own people. This stems from from their respective conspiratorial anttecedents lined up against the Eastern Security Network (ESN). Their collective conspiracy directed against the operatives of this security outfit, aimed at cushioning the interest of their Aso Rock slavemasters, amounts to a total declaration of war against the people of Biafra. 

This however, must be vehemently resisted by every inch of description. It is unfortunate that at such a time like this when Northern governors are shamelessly stage-managing the kidnap of school children with the intention of attracting jumbo ransom from the Nigerian government so as to adequately equip the Fulani Islamic bandits, the South-East politicians in the mold of the Supreme Court imposed governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, are yet to learn anything. Rather, they are talking tough and threatening annihilation of the personnel of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) stationed to protect farmlands, forests and bushes in Biafraland. What a shame!

It is important for the people that are close to governor Hope Uzodimma, to let him understand that the personnel of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) have not in anyway attacked, molested, abducted, raped or killed anyone in the land or elsewhere, including the Fulani herdsmen that are being sent packing from the bushes, forests and farmlands due to their criminality. If the Eastern Security Network (ESN) as the present gallant security outfit all over Biafraland, has indulged in any form of crime, it will not be concealed because criminal news rapidly circulates. Instead, both state-sponsored crimes such as military and police   mounted extortions checkpoints amongst other violent acts of criminality, have clearly disappeared from Biafraland since 12th December 2020, when this potent security outfit was unveiled. Biafrans then wonder why the South-East governors strongly insisted that Eastern Security Network (ESN), must have to be crushed at all cost. 

It is surprising why the governors will complicitly invite heavily armed military men to invade the land with the intent of crushing ESN when virtually none of them is prepared to listen to the cries of the people whose farmlands, bushes and forests are blatantly being ravaged by the Fulani killer herdsmen. They never invited the Nigerian soldiers to come down to crush the Fulani Islamic terrorists. It is noteworthy to state here that the Northern governors have never been reported to have ever invited the military or the police, to get into their region with the intention of crushing the notorious bandits that are unabatedly killing people and wantonly destroying properties in Katsina, Zamfara, Sokoto and Kaduna States. The governors have not also in anyway, said anything public against the criminal activities of these Fulani vampires rampaging every part of Nigeria. But rather, they have cleverly been defending them regardless of their heinous crimes being perpetrated against humanity in Nigeria.

The time has come to make the political office holders that are representing Biafraland, to understand that the lives and properties, farmlands and streams of the Biafran people are far more important than their esteemed political offices. The Eastern Security Network (ESN), whose sole responsibility is to safeguard the forests, bushes and farmlands of the people, must not be silenced in order to pave way for the Fulani criminals to take over the land. Therefore, any conspiracy plotted against the operatives of the Eastern Security outfit, is clearly a direct affront on the sensibility of the Biafran people. The youths of different communities have unequivocally stated that the battle line has been drawn by these politicians concerning the ESN. Political office holders must clearly distant themselves from ESN matters or otherwise, get readily prepared to taste the venom of the people.

The Hatred Of Igbos By The Nigerian State

 The Hatred Of Igbos By The Nigerian State

Recent information has it that the Nigerian military has been dispatched to the South-East to comb the bushes around Orlu, Imo State, on a search mission for the operatives of Eastern Security Network (ESN). This act of the Nigerian government smacks of deep hatred and bias against a people. When it is being said that Nigeria was never designed to accommodate the Igbos (Biafrans), some ignorant and grossly misinformed individuals that seemingly have sold their souls to Jihadism, will begin to quote the bible out of context, to justify their shameful stance.

For years now, Fulani herdsmen and their Islamic terror counterparts, have been the greatest threat to security in the country. In the South-West region, they are at war with the Yorubas. In the South-East, they are raping the women, killing people and destroying farmlands with impunity, on successive basis. These, they blatantly do because of the protection they enjoy from the Nigerian military.  The government has done virtually nothing to curb their excesses. Many at times, government officials collude with these blood sucking scavengers, to kill innocent law abiding citizens based on selfish political glories they curry from their positions. 

As a measure to stem this evil tide, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), magnanimously launched a security outfit known as Eastern Security Network (ESN). The primary objective of the operatives, is to help counter the atrocities of these Fulani killer herdsmen. Instead of commending their efforts aimed at ridding the society of crimes, the Nigerian military has rather employed the use of military helicopters in search of Eastern Security Network (ESN) operatives and taken to the killing of innocent Biafrans (Igbos) in Orlu town, Imo State. What an act of wickedness! What offence can rightfully be established to have been committed by these operatives that could warrant this ongoing military onslaught by the Nigerian government? Why would one ever think that Nigeria, with this pack of insecurity everywhere, is safe for habitation? Why would one ever conclude that Nigeria as a country, was designed to accommodate the Igbos with successive drive of humiliation, hatred and genocide unabatedly being unleashed against them? How has the Imo State government or even the federal government as a matter of constitutional obligation, worked to ensure the full protection of lives and properties of the people in the face of the foregoing terrorism of Fulani killer herdsmen?

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has always maintained that Somalia would be a paradise when compared to Nigeria at the end of the day. Evidences abound, confirming this very statement. This array of wickedness targeted against Biafrans by the Nigerian State, should as a matter of expediency, be looked into before late. Why must it always be Igbos (Biafrans) all the time? Why this hatred? Can the world be told in clear terms, why the operatives of Eastern Security Network (ESN), are being militarily  sought for? Honestly, something is fundamentally wrong with Nigeria.

I will submit myself to Hague – Nnamdi Kanu

 I will submit myself to Hague – Nnamdi Kanu

Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has declared his readiness to stand trial at the International Criminal Court, ICC, in Hague, if defending Biafrans against unprovoked genocidal attacks by killer herdsmen and terrorists would warrant his appearance at the ICC. Kanu who made the declaration on a live broadcast on Radio Biafra Sunday night, regretted that harassments and extrajudicial killings by security agencies have continued unabated across Biafra land.

The IPOB Leader said that the world had maintained criminal silence over the plight of Biafrans despite complaints and petitions by IPOB as well as indicting reports against the Nigerian Authorities and security agencies by some reputable global agencies including the UN reportuer on human rights and Amnesty International. 

He said that besides state-sponsored persecutions and brazen infuriating marginalisation and exclusion against Biafrans, killer herdsmen and terrorists have continued to raid communities in the region unchallenged by the security agencies. ” Herdsmen will attack us, rape our women, destroy our farms and kill our farmers nobody will arrest them but when we try to defend ourselves, government will come after us rolling out the tanks and using their helicopter gun boats”, he fumed.

Kanu explained that the incessant unprovoked genocidal attacks by herdsmen and the docility of the Nigerian Authorities gave rise to the formation of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, to protect the hapless Biafran locals against terror. 

But he regretted that instead of going after the perpetrators of the heinous crimes against innocent citizens, the Nigerian State rather chose to declare war against mere vigilante volunteer group as demonstrated in Thursday’s air  strike in Orlu. The IPOB Leader who said that the Orlu military raid marked the beginning of the second Nigeria/Biafra war vowed to mobilise the people in defense of their ancestral land “no matter the consequences”.

” If defending our ancestral land against conquest by Fulani Janjaweed invaders will take me to the Hague I am ready to go to the Hague”, Kanu thundered. Continuing he said: ” The world has the indicting report by the UN Reportuer against Nigeria but they have not done anything. 

Do we have to wait until we are all killed before we defend ourselves?” Kanu expressed shock that the world had helplessly watched the Nigerian State use brute force against mere peaceful agitators while on the other hand dialoguing with, and facilitating amnesty and payment of ransom to bandits and terrorists who have not shown any remorse or sign of ceasation to their killing spree. 

According to him world leaders ought to have demanded probe of Nigerian Leaders including some Northern Governors and Islamic clerics over their romance with bandits. He said he would declare 40 days prayer and fasting by next week for Biafrans all over the world to seek God’s presence, and for more spiritual fortification for the task ahead. 

Kanu who restated Biafra’s Jewish root said Israel can never be crushed by their enemy because of  Abraham’s covenant with God which he claimed follows Biafra. He expressed optimism that Biafra would soon be restored despite stiff opposition by the Nigerian State and her International collaborators as well as internal traitors.
