Nigeria: Twitter Ban And The Deadly Motive Behind The Creation Of "TribeNaija" Social Media App

 Twitter Ban And The Deadly Motive Behind The Creation Of "TribeNaija" Social Media App

TribeNaija is a newly built Nigeria-inclined Social Media Application (App) that was launched on Saturday 12th June 2021, being Nigeria's Democracy Day. While people were deeply involved with the celebration of the democracy day, the Nigerian government ingloriously busied itself with the digging of graves for the citizens. The App in question which is presently available for Google download via Playstore and IOS,  according to the government, is designed to rally all tribes in Nigeria together for continued existence. What a disgusting motive even in this 21st century! Definitely, when something is destined to happen, nothing prevents it. Everything unfolding in the country, points to the direction of definitive fulfillment.

It is well noted that Nigeria is steadily on a journey of no return. Things are really falling apart. It is glaringly clear that the same architects of misfortune bedeviling Nigeria, are the people craftily evangelizing for unity. This is the more reason why they are desperately giving lopesided support for continuity, thereby bringing everything to stagnancy.

The Nigerian government felt humiliated and embarrassed that the citizens, despite desperate efforts to outrightly  ban the social media blogging giant (twitter), are yet unpreventably, tweeting via the same platform. After the ban, the government resolved to launch an App which it can exclusively control at the detriment of the unsuspecting. With this child of circumstantial App called "TribeNaija", Nigerians are further caged for a second time running in the year just after the ill-conceived National Identification Number (NIN) project.

This App is designed to surreptitiously monitor the rightful activities of the innocent citizens. It is specifically floated in a well customized manner that is aimed at tracking and installing private datas of users for surveillance purposes. And one disappointing factor about our people, is their rejection of wise counsels. When the warning came about the so-called National Identification Number (NIN) registration, as a coded plan orchestrated for the extra-judicial killing of Southerners, they never believed. When the plot became eventually executed, it then dawned on everyone that the Nigerian government was up to strategic annihilation of the people. Citizens could feel somewhat relaxed in their homes but the Nigerian government remains adamantly out with dehumanizing agenda. Anyone marked as a threat to it's invented nefarious initiatives, would summarily get tracked down for elimination.

Quite contrary to the established standard of Facebook regarding posts, that of TribeNaija unilaterally compels users to be of One-Nigeria" ideology. Using TribeNaija App without supporting "One-Nigeria", results in courting their trouble of elimination. This is one of their many plots of enforcing their seemingly overdue social media law against "hate speech" and the primary target is the Southern part of the country. The Igbo (Biafran) and Yoruba agitators who remain defiant in their quests for freedom, will become irresistably cowed. These are the sets of people that are being targeted in the extermination policies tyrannically driven  at all cost through these inventions.

The outlined methods are being employed by the Nigerian government to further plunge the global community into darkness pertaining events happening in the country. With TribeNaija App under their firm control, the citizens' rights will be greatly curtailed. People can be blocked and deactivated at will. But it is foolhardy to think that everybody will support the obnoxious, crude and primitive policies in Nigeria. The category of people being targeted are those that were forcefully given the Nigerian citizenship (diaspora based agitators). Such were not born Nigerians and their parents were never Nigerians but were helplessly so christened. These are those lots that cannot speak honor in favor of Nigeria despite growing despicable atrocities that are being committed successively against the people. Nigeria, over the years, is a name associated with slavish chains, abuses of fundamental human rights, deaths and bitter bias against some tribes. This TribeNaija App must be clinically avoided because it is a death trap well placed in the hands of the government.

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.

The Joy Of Slavery: The Painful Trial Of Some Deceived Ethnic Nations In Nigeria

 The Joy Of Slavery: The Painful Trial Of Some Deceived Ethnic Nations In Nigeria

In chapter 5 of Frederick Douglas work, "Narrative of The Life", Mr. Douglas said and I quote: "Our food was coarse corn meal boiled. This was called mush. It was put into a large wooden tray or trough and set down upon the ground. The children were then called upon and like so many pigs, they would come and devour the mush; some with oyster-shells, others with pieces of shingle, some with naked hands, none with spoons. He that ate fastest got most; he that was strongest secured the best place and few left the trough satisfied".

This has been our ordeal in Nigeria, but many have blindly refused to understand the curse Nigeria is to our existence and survival. In Nigeria, people have eaten worms in the place of food, others still drink from the same pit they toilet. Some parts drink oil and gas polluted waters, no grasses on their land for even domestic animals to eat and be healthy, yet they fight baselessly and accuse their own brothers, calling themselves "Niger Deltans" and insisting never to be identified as Igbos. What a pity! Yet, tarched and haunted houses are where they reside.

Albert Einstein said "He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed". Things have become so bad that people seem to have been denied their reasonings. So, they no long stop to question some anomalies. And that is what Sir Albert classified so well as being in resemblance of a dead state. 

It may perhaps be fairly questioned whether any other portion of the African population could have endured the privations, sufferings and horrors of slavery we are enduring here in the name of "one Nigeria". For instance, there is absolutely nothing evil that has not been meted to the nation of Biafra today, yet entrapped in Nigeria. They have tried to cripple our intellect, darken our mind, debase our moral nature, obliterate all traces of our relationship with mankind. 

And one thing that is most astonishing is how we have lived with the mighty loads of this most frightful bondage under which we have been groaning, since the 1914 amalgamation. We have been physically and mentally tortured and they have made us see our brothers as our enemies. Our brothers and sisters in the coastal areas are seeing their kit and kin in the upland areas as their worst enemies. Mental degradation and torture are the causes.

Now, we are more like happy slaves, jubilating over our misfortune. We are foolish slaves that fight our brothers and sisters instead of our chains. We are happy slaves in jubilation, dancing and urinating on the graves of our dead, killed by our real enemies.

What do we gain in all these? Izon (Ijaw) Urhobo, Isoko, Ogoni, Igbo, Niger Deltans, South-East or South-South people, are all brothers and sisters. Let us not give our enemies more chances to feast any further on our ignorance. We are better together than being divided. This is the glaring truth!

The Ikeduru ESN Camp And The Nigerian Joint Forces' Deceptive Claims

 The Ikeduru ESN Camp And The Nigerian Joint Forces' Deceptive Claims

At the early hours of Tuesday 8th June 2021, the Nigerian joint armed forces claimed that they invaded the camp of Eastern Security Network (ESN), at Ikeduru in Imo State, apprehended some ESN operatives and burnt down their building.

And one is supposed to be surprised at such a false claim. Does Mazi Nnamdi Kanu commanded that Eastern Security Network (ESN) camp should be situated at residential quarters? Has it not been severally proven that the camping places of these gallant men are located in the bushes and forests of Biafraland? Even without being told, any informed person in Nigeria at the moment should have noticed how the Nigeria police and military have continued to operate with criminal impunity, especially across Biafraland. When they see people going about their normal businesses, they would unjustly arrest them and tag them any criminal name of choice, intimidate them and force incriminating words into their mouths.

Reasonable and responsible persons in the shitholic country called Nigeria, is supposed to ask the police the following questions:

* How many of the ESN men were in that house you burnt when you invaded it?

* What were the proves that the building in question is really within ESN camp?

* And when did you notice that ESN started living in residential homes, because even your army proved it at Orlu in the same Imo State that ESN personnel were in the bushes, wherefore they went to bomb them with helicopter gunboats.

Without mincing words, the Nigerian uniformed men need to essentially learn how to be more objective in their reasonings and stop tagging people wrongly without investigations. When they finally learn, maybe they can start proper investigations before dishing out fallacies to the general public. They should also know that people have known their cunning craftiness.

We have seen many cases where these terrorist groups in uniforms have set people up in order to incriminate them. We have seen many cases like the Ikeduru scenerio where they set people's homes ablaze and tagged them one name or the other, to justify their deceptive claims.

Nigeria and her security forces should well understand that the people can be fooled actually, but not all the time. Sooner than later, they will inevitably feel the wrath of the people.

FWPI Editorial: Instigations Behind Biafra Agitation

 FWPI Editorial: Instigations Behind Biafra Agitation

Biafrans are people with great historical and cultural pedigree as widely recognized and attested to by renowned global anthropologists, colonial administrators and foreign missionaries. They are known as a people with unusual/uncommon human qualities, striving with rare dynamism, versatility and ingenuity. Since the creation of the Nigerian contraption by the British overlords, Biafrans have virtually been everything to the Nigerian state and have persistently helped in the consolidation of the entity. This has been made possible through the sweat, doggedness, blood, talent and invaluable treasure of this very unique human race.

Foremost nationalist of the Nigerian independence, Uwalaka J.N. (2003), noted that it was Igbo Biafran in the person of late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, that took the front seat for the Nigerian independence drive against the British. Even when every other individual appeared skeptical or evasive to the ideology of Nigeria. It was Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe's care and concern for all Nigerians, that formed the opinion of Chief M.C.K. Ajuluchukwu, when he stated that "late Chief Obafemi Awolowo fought for the interest of the Yorubas, late Ahmadu Bello did likewise for the North while Nnamdi Azikiwe devoted his life, time and energy, preaching and serving the overriding interest of the entire Nigerian citizens. The Nigerian independence despite Zik's devotion and efforts, power was eventually transferred to late Tafawa Balewa as the Prime Minister. 

Nnamdi Azikiwe was made to serve as a mere ceremonial President that represented the Queen of England. Yet, Biafrans keyed in, until consumed by the idea of one Nigerianism with great prices for independence and unity, paid. The prices paid rightly confirmed the statement of Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife when he bluntly described as "tree of liberty, through the blood of Aba women as well as that of Enugu coal miners, being completely watered". Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, in a statement, also asserted that "the blood of martyrs shall water the tree of liberty". The watered blood thus, came from no other tribe or people but that of Biafrans during the pre-independence Nigerian era. Before and after independence, the  tree of One-Nigeria has uninhibitedly gulped the blood of Biafrans with series of killings and deaths.

With the above sundry examples, Biafrans have really experienced unmitigated slaughter at different occasions or incidents in Nigeria. In 2014, unarmed Biafrans were gruesomely massacred at Onitsha Head Bridge by the combined armed team of the Nigerian security forces during a peaceful protest staged for the release of the arrested leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). On the 29th of May 2015, Biafrans were massively killed in Aba High School where they converged to pray, preparatory to the Annual May 30th Biafra Memorial Service. This is done in memory of Biafra fallen heros and heroines. In 2016, another wave of genocide was visited on Biafrans by the Nigerian armed forces at Afara-Ukwu, Ibeku, Umuahia, Abia State. 

This mayhem was callously carried out at the family home of the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Many corpses of the slain were so terribly mutilated to avoid recognition, due to acidic substances poured on them by the Nigerian security operatives. The effect of that murderous genocide eventually claimed the lives of the parents of the IPOB leader, His Royal Majesty (HRM), late Eze Okwu-Kanu and Lolo Ugoeze S. Okwu-Kanu. The heinous activities of the grossly Fulani infested Nigerian government against innocent Biafrans, remains grievously unpardonable because such acts are inhuman. The criminal activities of the Nigerian Army, Navy and Police did not however subside as the oppression of the people persists. Massive killing and victimization yet continue in Imo State amongst others in Biafraland by both the Nigerian uniformed security personnel and Fulani killer herdsmen.

The only notable crime of Biafrans has remained their embrace of the Nigerian ideology. They believed in Nigeria so much so that it has become their greatest undoing to the extent that their benevolence, hard work and achievements are now being compensated with jealousy and bitter hatred. Their prowess and ingenuity are being misjudged for domination, their versatility has become exploitation. All these added up to the dread they have for Biafrans who are today being derided, suspected, massively killed, marginalized, molested and slavishily treated by the Nigerian state. The heroic and pioneering role in the national development are being jettisoned. Biafrans, due to their republican and industrial nature, vastly spread incomparably in numbers across Nigeria, more than any other tribe. 

They have immeasurably contributed to the economic and socio-political development of their adopted places of residence outside Biafraland. They successfully thrive against adverse conditions of life in their undaunted efforts to earn a living and further contribute to the economy and social upliftment of the areas. Biafrans have built roads to alleviate the suffering of many rural dwellers. They have engaged in bringing education closer to remotest indigenous rural dwellers, they have established communities in uninhabitable locations where people dreaded and yet, they have remained used as sacrificial lambs of appeasement by the Nigerian Fulani run government. Putting oneself in the shoes of Biafrans therefore, in the light of these gruelling exemplary narratives, it yet remains puzzling what optional or different measures could be adopted in response. Would the protagonists of  the Nigerian ideology, not seek their own freedom to definitively restore the dignity and survival of their own people? Let your conscience be the judge!

Hope Uzodimma, Adaka Boro, Ken Saro-Wiwa And Self-Consuming Hubris

 

The State Security Services (SSS) otherwise called Department of Security Services (DSS), as expected, has taken a cue from their British MI6 masters goading them on manipulative and disruptive or – if you like, divide and conquer journalism. There is a divisive article ostensibly floated about how Aguiyi Ironsi and Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu betrayed Adaka Boro's quest for Niger Delta Republic. The intended outcome of the propaganda-filled article and the untenable, flimsy narrative the people behind it are pushing, is not in doubt. The emotional blackmail of the article percolated on the imaginary reading surface aimed at convincing a gullible reader that Ironsi and Ojukwu arrested, jailed and – without providing any shred of historical evidence, killed over one hundred and fifty (150) of his soldiers thereby, somehow, betraying his Niger Delta Republican Movement. That is a lie in 2021 similar to ones told in 1967 by a sophisticated country dependent on Biafra oil and gas. 

 

What the article will not tell you regrettably, is that Adaka Boro's misadventure was a continuation of the boondoggle Willinks Commission set up to destroy Dr. Michael Okpara's Eastern Regional Government that was thinking locally, but acting globally – on the false premise that the Igbos would dominate. This is purely a thought crime. Something that never occurred. The poorly written essay cleverly left out the fact that both Adaka Boro and Ken Saro-Wiwa went to the same University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) on bursary from Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA). Instead of pointing out the infamous role played by Britain in convincing Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu to lead a military coup for them and their subsequent inciting media hype that resulted in Biafra genocide, the article continued down the racial profiling path of how Nzeogwu and his Igbo brothers killed Northern leaders while sparing their Eastern counterparts. Even though by their argument, Nzeogwu is from Delta State and therefore a Niger Deltan. The article also craftily hid the fact that, in the final onslaught, it was Yakubu Jack Gowon and Sani Abacha who killed Adaka Boro and Ken Saro-wiwa respectively, on allegation of treachery and treasonable felony. Why the writer deemed it more important to spread absolute falsehood banded more than 54 years ago over the genocide the Fulani tribe is committing against all the indigenous tribes, clearly tells you all that you need to know. 

 

There is a correlation between what Hope Uzodinma (the Supreme Court imposed administrator of Imo State), is doing and the ignoble roles played by Boro and Saro-wiwa, leading to Biafra declaration. They are both missions embarked on servitude, self serving avarice and perfidy. As was the case with both men, the hubristic tendencies of Hope Uzodinma have brought avoidable disappearances, tortures and deaths of young Biafran men and women including, my friend, Chijioke Ezirim. How an individual will prefer self aggrandizement over collective well-being of his people, really beats my imagination. That is exactly what Uzodinma was contracted to do by the Sokoto Caliphate and he was in the know. There is a recent report that Uzodinma is suing for dialogue. This is the best way to go and an option wise people exhaust first, before recourse to another. The problem with people who seek dialogue in the middle of a crisis is that they cannot be trusted. It is wiser not to take their demand in it's face value due to it's unconvincing nature and a sinister plan it hopes to surprisingly unleash. So, the joke is on the traitor to call off his military goons, release all prisoners of conscience and subscribe to a referendum, for a start. 

 

There is no moral equivalence between Ojukwu’s declaration of Biafra and Adaka Boro’s divisive movement. One was selfless and self-defense and the other was self serving and self consuming. This is a lesson for traitors like Hope Uzodinma.

Biafrans Are Ruled With "Rods Of Iron"

 

Hatred is a popular word in the history of mankind. It is used on things or beings that one is not friendly with or something that is detested. According to Oxford Dictionary, Hatred is defined as strong aversion; intense dislike; hateful regard; an affection of the mind awakened by something regarded as unpleasant, harmful or evil. 

 

The treatment or the way the old Eastern region of Nigeria is being treated, speaks volumes of hatred. In the history of Nigeria, people hardly talk positive of the Igbos (in the Eastern region), without getting a hate speech from about eighty percent (80%) of the other parts of the country. And one still wonders, what necessitated this level of hatred. Even before self-governance of the various parts of Nigeria between 1956-1959, the Igbos were massacred on several occasions especially in the Northern region. 22nd of June 1945, was the genesis of the Killing of Igbo people by in the history of mankind. 

  

It is well known that during the pre-colonial era, there existed basically, three (3) regions in Nigeria but when nepotism and ethnic sentiments came in 1966, there were series of meetings in order to iron out the issues hampering the positivity of the nation, Nigeria. One of those meetings was the famous "Aburi accord" between late General Odimegwu Ojukwu and General Yakubu Gowon, which was later violated by Gowon. He then declared war on Biafra (the Eastern region). 

 

In the course of this violation, there came the so-called Nigeria/Biafra war that lasted from 1967 to 1970, which can be called the world versus Biafra war. This war claimed the lives of about five million Igbos. Thereafter, the Eastern region was divided, carving out the miniaturized five states as IGBO States. 

 

After the declaration of no victor, no vanquish in 1970, the Igbos have been the most active force in one Nigerianism by investing and developing virtually all parts of the federation. But no matter their positive impact in the One-Nigeria project, they are still being hated, marginalized and cheated in all things except in pains and agony. 

 

In the year 1999, the core Northern parts of Nigeria began their quest for sharia law. This was later granted by the President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, without killing of any Northerner. When Igbos demand their own right to self-determination, they became enemies of the state. The ever presence of military and security personnel in the Eastern part of the country who engage mostly in extortion and killing of innocent people in the region without recourse, shows much evidence of hatred towards the Igbos. 

 

Now, there have been so much unrests in the Northern part and all the government does have been pampering and negotiating with the terrorists and their so-called bandits who have been killing and pillaging on daily basis. But a none violent group, called the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which came up in the year 2002, agitating for justice and equity for both South-East and South-South (Biafraland), the Nigerian government has relentlessly launched attacked and killed many members of the group, with attempted murder of it's leader, in 2017. The same peaceful movement was later proscribed. 

 

The judicial arm did it's worst by ruling in favour of Hope Uzodimma, as the governor of Imo State even when he came 4th in the gubernatorial election. Eversince the forceful installation of Hope Uzodimma as the Imo State Governor, peace has since gone to oblivion. All the Nigerian government does is to militarize the zone and kill  innocent civilians in the name of killing IPOB and operatives of Eastern security network (ESN). 

 

As Balotelli, a popular footballer will always ask, "why always me?" and one will ask why always the Igbos? It is high time equity play it's vital role to balance the whole system. Or simply put, let the Biafran nation go and determine her own future and that of her unborn children.
