IPOB PRESS RELEASE 28TH SEPTEMBER 2017

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide would like to use this medium to clarify pertinent issues bordering on our relationship with Mr. Abdulkadir Erkahraman, a Turkish citizen, who is the current President of International Nations Commercial Association based in Turkey and also an adviser to our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Mr Erkahraman is equally a representative of IPOB on international relations in the Middle East and Asia. 

Mr Erkahraman has come under serious attack lately from the APC regime of Muhammadu Buhari who are using some Turkish businessmen in Abuja and "Fethullahist Terror Organization" (FETÖ) to threaten him to denounce his support for IPOB to the extent of inviting him to come to Nigeria to make a television broadcast publicly renouncing his support for Biafra. His life and that of his family have come under severe threat and we wish to notify the Turkish government and the world accordingly. 

  

Having purchased a black market order from the court of Justice Kufurati sitting in Abuja labelling the peaceful IPOB a terrorist organisation, an act designed to alienate friends of Biafra from publicly associating with the IPOB led movement for self determination, this Nigerian government is hoping to isolate the movement for Biafra restoration away from international supporters. This scare tactics will not work because Mr. Abdulkadir Erkahraman is a conscientious Muslim who understand what human rights is all about and the need to preserve same. He believes that freedom for Biafra supersedes everything else in life, even his own religion. 

When he visited our leader in his home town Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia, their discussions focused exclusively on areas of infrastructural development and how such partnerships can be developed to help alleviate the suffering of the people of Biafra. He is not a Turkish diplomat, he has never claimed to be one and our leader did not receive him in such capacity. Those on online news platforms in Nigeria referring to him as a diplomat are deliberately misleading their readers. 

Some of these publishers are nothing more than sponsored agents, in the pay of the Ministry of Information, used to carry out smear campaigns in the hope of tarnishing the image of Mr. Abdulkadri Erkahraman and Biafra. Their sole aim is to cause misunderstanding in Turkish diplomatic circles. We strongly advise the Turkish mission in Nigeria to disregard the discredited lying antics of Lai Mohammed and their attempt to deflect attention from their murderous ill fated Operation Python Dance currently going on in Biafraland.

The world should know that this Nigerian government has become so desperate to the point that they can go to any length to try and stop the restoration of Biafra, believe it through blackmail, intimidation and cold blooded murder. If you consider that this same Buhari regime in recent days have accused their staunchest allies United Kingdom, France and USA of financing terrorists [IPOB] you will begin to appreciate how paranoid they have become.

The Buhari regime should leave Mr. Abdulkadri Erkahraman alone and stop using his name to settle old scores with the Turkish government over Buhari's sponsorship of the failed coup in Turkey. It is public knowledge that Turkey have ordered the Nigeria government to close down all the schools bearing Turkish names in Nigeria used as front for the Fethullahist Terror Organization (FETÖ). Until now this Buhari government have refused to close down these schools and organizations, they still bear Turkish names. 

We call upon the government of Turkey and the president of Turkey, His Excellency Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to look critically at the activities of the government of Nigeria in Turkey. Mohammed Buhari is a known sponsor of terrorism and was named as Boko Haram chief negotiator before becoming president of Nigeria. He is presently the grand patron of the fourth most deadly terror group in the world, Fulani herdsmen better known as Miyetti Cattle Breeders Association. He is a man given to violent impulses and will not hesitate to sponsor another coup or fund terror attacks against Turkey, as long as it leads to bloodshed and loss of life. 

Buhari is a well known supporter of Fethullahist Terror Organization (FETÖ). He has given them protection and cover since he came into power. He is now using them to attack the Turkish government and her people. The Nigerian government imported arms into Nigeria ports under the guise of FETO in order to tarnish the image of IPOB and Mr. Abdulkadri Erkrahram and by extension that of Turkey. 

The Turkish government should as a matter of urgency review the activities of Nigeria government against the Turkish state and if need be expel the Nigerian mission in Turkey before it's too late. FETO is hiding under the Nigeria government to tarnish the image of Turkey and that of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Nigeria government are hoping to use IPOB and Mr. Abdulkadir Erkrahram as bargaining chip in this Cold War with Turkey which we cannot allow.

IPOB PRESS RELEASE 9TH SEPTEMBER 2017

IPOB Press Release 

We the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) and it's leadership worldwide under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu condemn the deceptive and provocative use of stage managed parade of 'criminals' as part of a very cheap tactless propaganda by the clueless Buhari led administration to blackmail the most peaceful mass movement on earth. Nigerian Government and their obviously unintelligent Police command in Awka Anambra State are so daft that they think that using our revered insignia and hallowed flag in their stupid mock parade, of those they termed armed robbers and cultists, will deter us from pursuing our legitimate and nonviolent agitations for Biafra restoration. Only a wayward government populated by clueless individuals such as this APC government will descend as low as planting IPOB memorabilia among bullet casings to convey the impression that IPOB is now an armed group. They tried this gimmick and failed, so will they fail this time around also. We are aware that many more stunts are coming, all in a bid to justify the militarisation of Biafraland.

The entire civilised world which Nigeria appears not to be a part of, are fully aware that IPOB is a non-violent movement with unprecedented following all over the world. This hopeless and shambolic attempt by this government to portray IPOB otherwise by Hausa Fulani men of the Nigerian police should be roundly condemned by all men and women of good conscience.

As a necessary precaution, we have instructed the chambers of Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor our lawyers, to commence legal action against Anambra State Police Command for this pathetic attempt to impugn the integrity of IPOB. The Hausa Fulani controlled Nigerian Police must know that the world is watching this latest episode in stupidity and pathetic attempt to frame IPOB. Any Nigerian with any sense of dignity must be thoroughly ashamed of what this Buhari administration is doing in their name. 

It is unfortunate that the Nigerian police command in Awka Anambra State that claim to have educated people in their ranks, will stage manage a crime scene simply because they have lost the argument on self determination and are seeking for ways to label IPOB as a violent organisation to justify their murderous tendencies. These clearly uneducated men of the Nigerian Police, in concert with the Nigerian Army, are not aware that IPOB members are under sacred oath not to lie or engage in any form of illegality. Both the police and army are in possession of the oath every IPOB family member must take before they are admitted into IPOB. They should refer to it and stop disgracing themselves before the world. 

Despite the fact that IPOB congregate in their millions during rallies, has it ever been reported that any person or persons lost their personal belongings? The answer is no, because IPOB family members cannot even steal a common purse or wallet, talkless of engaging in armed robbery. Rather it is IPOB that has been at the forefront of fighting police and army criminality and banditry all over Biafraland culminating in the 'Say No To Extortion' campaign launched by our leader a few days ago.  

We are well aware that Nigeria security operatives and some politicians in Anambra State are actively recruiting non Biafrans with IPOB paraphernalia to be used to wreak havoc on unsuspecting populations with the view to tarnish the squeaky clean image of IPOB. Only gullible Nigerians can be deceived with such kindergarten antics. People are more reasonable and wiser now and cannot be deceived so easily by such amateurish display by the police. What made Buhari's to think that they would succeed this time around when they failed so miserably with their previous concoctions like the killing of 5 Hausa men in a forest in Okigwe by IPOB.

We IPOB family under the command of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have conducted 298 peaceful protests and rallies around the world without a single recorded incident of violence or destruction to property. Instead it is the Nigerian Army and Police that have specialised in killing and abduction of IPOB members. Despite all these criminal provocations, IPOB has remained peaceful and never retaliated. We shall maintain our peaceful nonviolent stance and will not be provoked into armed conflict by this uncivilised and barbaric regime of Buhari. We keep wondering why Nigeria Government and her security operatives would be fabricating lies and accusing the most peaceful mass movement in the world of carrying arms without proof.

This latest show of shame is one propaganda too many and we will not rest until those involved in this despicable criminal act within the Nigerian Police is brought to book. Buhari has turned out to be a worse dictator than Abacha. Nigerian Police and Nigeria Government at large  led by Major General Muhammadu Buhari are peddling fake stories, lies and propaganda to dent the image of IPOB under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, but they cannot succeed with their predictable crude third world approach. We hereby advise the hapless and lying Nigerian Government and her security operatives to come up with a more believable storyline. Currently, these methods they are using cannot yield the right results for them.

We are laughing at these individuals and politicians in Aso Rock because they are amateurs and no match for IPOB. We are therefore, urging our people to be more vigilant and cautious because soon they will come out with a different and new fake story, cheap propaganda and lies against the peaceful and nonviolent family members of IPOB under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The more they fabricate their lies against IPOB, the more we expose them for the liars they are. 

COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB.

OPEN LETTER TO THE SOUTH EAST GOVERNORS

OPEN LETTER TO THE SOUTH EAST GOVERNORS 

By Charles Ogbu.

Greetings, your Excellencies -the governors of the land of the Rising Sun.

It is with a heart burdened with sorrow that I write you today to register my grave displeasure over your criminal complicity in the woes of the people you purport to preside over.

With your permissions, your Excellencies, I will like to start this piece with questions which have dug a very deep hole in my heart for a very long time and the questions are:

Whose interests are you representing as governors?

Where does your loyalty lie?

Why does it seem like your dominant default instinct is to please the Caliphate even if it means displeasing your people?

Dear governors, those are questions on the lips of almost every Igbo youth and those questions must not just be asked, they must be answered.

Your Excellencies, do you ever sit back and wonder why millions of Ndigbo have chosen to willingly follow Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in his quest to restore Biafra?

I will tell you:

As a people, Ndigbo have been oppressed, suppressed, dejected, isolated, marginalized, ridiculed, humiliated, haunted and murdered by the moral criminals and executive terrorists running the affairs of the Nigerian state since after the Biafran war. When Mr Hate-Made-Flesh, President Buhari, came on board, he elevated Igbo marginalization and dehumanization as an official govt policy. Two days ago, the Buhari-led govt brought in tanks and sophisticated military hardware into Ala-Igbo. It doesn’t take a ‘Dibia’ to know that those weapons will be used on the same people whose lives you are being paid to protect.

In all these,

You, the people who presume to be our governors didn’t just maintain criminal silence, you connived with our oppressors to ride roughshod over our wounds. Just for the pittance known as monthly allocation, you had no qualms turning a blind eye and living in denial of our pains and miseries and wars and woes.

This year alone, you, the southeast governors, have visited Asorock more times than I can remember, to pledge your commitment to #OneNigeriawhich begs the questions:

How many times have you visited Aso Rock to ask why Onitsha Seaport has remained comatose for years or to protest the non-inclusion of the Southeast in the rail project?

How many times have you visited Aso Rock to ask why the entire production processes in Ala-Igbo have been emasculated to keep your people in the state of perpetual penury?

Despite being the most peaceful region in the entire country, the southeast has thrice the number of police and military men deployed to the Boko-haram ravaged Northeast. Even violence prone Gaza Strip and terrorist-infested Mount Sinai in MiddleEast do not boast of such high level of militarization. And these uniformed thugs brazenly extort monies from motorists and Okada riders and humiliate those who try to resist their savagery.

How many times have you gone to Aso Rock to protest this?? But how can you, when those uninformed extortionists and invaders are in Ala-Igbo with your full permissions??

What kind of #OneNigeria do you really want? A Nigeria where mediocrity and injustice walk on all four as obtains now or a Nigeria characterized by merit, justice and fairness??

Dear governors, we have lied to ourselves for far too long. Permit me to honour you with the courtesy of being blunt:

We, Ndigbo, ARE NOT in the mess we are in today because we have a president whose access to oxygen seems to depend solely on how much hatred he can dish to us. Not at all. We are where we are today because we have the singular misfortune of being cursed with one of the most criminally insensitive sets of governors in our history. A set of governors whose sense of governance is simply atrocious. A set of governors whose ‘Onye Ayana Nwanne Ya’ spirit is simply non-existent. A set of governors who are indeed Pharaohs robed in the garbs of Moses.

Your Excellencies, you are the biggest singular tragedy of Ndigbo. It grieves me beyond word to publicly admit this but it grieves me even more that it is true.

Those millions of people you see following Nnamdi Kanu are indicative of the fact that the people you pretend to lead have lost faith in you.

You have failed your people. You have failed Ala-Igbo and if you have any shred of honour, you will not disagree that you have failed even yourselves.

You act and speak like psychological slaves and you waste no time in proving your loyalty to your Fulani masters even if it means sacrificing your people. Your default inclination is to the Caliphate.

Recently, one of you, governor Rochas Okorocha, bested Uncle Lucifer when he used soldiers to carry out a festival of blood reportedly killing not less than 4 persons including an 11-year-old Somtochukwu Igboanusi, all in a bid to demolish the ancient Eke-Ukwu market in Owerri. And I’m wondering, how does Okorocha sleep at night knowing he’s responsible for the death of the only male child of his parents??

The “No More Elections In Biafraland” currently being championed by IPOB is receiving wide acceptance NOT NECESSARILY because of Nnamdi Kanu but because when an average Igbo man looks around, he finds it extremely difficult to point to any time any of you Igbo governors have defended his interests.

When Fulani terrorists visit us with death, rather than act like Governor Fayose, you act like Jeremiah, the weeping prophet. When our dues are denied us in Nigeria, you play deaf, dumb and blind. When Fulani soldiers kill and bath us with acid even inside a Church, you play the devil’s advocate but when we say we want a referendum to enable us to decide our future, you rush to Aso Rock to counter us.

How can a people live with so called leaders who act like that??

I’m submitting to you, my dear governors, that the 5 of you are the co-authors of our misfortune as a people!

But,

I have good news for you: your cups of iniquity are yet to run over. You can still redeem yourselves.

Please, in the name of the millions we lost to the Biafran war, rally round your people. Defend their right to life for once! Look the Caliphate in the eye for once and tell them that your people are not children of a lesser god. Stop holding Nicodemus meeting with Nnamdi Kanu with regards to Anambra elections. Instead, hold those meetings with the men in Aso Rock and demand that they give you something tangible, -an alternative to Biafra, promises and assurances, -to take back to your people. This is how to negotiate!

Stop giving your permission for Buhari to militarize Ala-Igbo with his occupying forces. Those soldiers are here not to protect but to kill and maim and treat Ndigbo like a conquered people.

Time for politics is over. Today, Ndigbo are facing grave existential challenges.

This is the time to borrow a leaf from Our Father, Chief John Nnia Nwodo, the Ohaneze Ndigbo PG and stands with your people because the truth is, Biafrans are like a seed. Even when you bury them, they don’t die, instead, they germinate. So when all this is over, rest assured, we will dis-remember Buhari and his fellow nightwalkers but we will forever remember your treachery and criminal complicity in our tragedy.

Remember, your Excellencies, no man, no matter how powerful, can make a private bargain with history.

Ndewonu, Umunna m,
Charles Ogbu.

BIAFRA: ROCHAS OKOROCHA DEMOLISHED EKE UKWU MARKET FOR HIS PERSONAL INTEREST

BIAFRA: ROCHAS OKOROCHA DEMOLISHED EKE UKWU MARKET FOR HIS PERSONAL INTEREST

Ben Alvin Obi, for Family Writers Press.

Following the recent demolition of people's goods at Eke Ukwu market around Douglas road in Owerri, Imo State which took peoples lives, it is now a case in court between Owerri people and Governor Rochas Okorocha. Family Writers correspondent in Owerri, has come out with facts and to notify the world that Rochas Okorocha's interest in  relocating the market has something to do with a personal business he has with Alhaji Aliko Dangote.  There have been speculations more especially from the inhabitants and indigenes of  Owerri, that Rochas Okorocha's reasons for demolishing the market is because he wants to sale the land to Alhaji Aliko Dangote.

After the  quit notice  spread all over Imo State media houses, on Friday night being the 25th of August, 2017, at about 9:30pm , almost all the villages within the  Owerri metropoly heard the news that night and swore never to give-in cheapily to such chicken tyrranical government policy. They vowed to rather die than to see their market  demolished by Rochas Okrocha and cohorts. Most of the indegenes and property owners at the designated area went on Facebook and other social media live to tell the world about Rochas Okorocha's plan to demolish their only market in Owerri municipal without proper consultations and compensations.

The Owerri metropoly comprises of:
1)Umuoronjo
2)Amawom
3)Umuodi
4)Umuonyeche
5) And Umuonyima
They were all present that night and even the next day being 26th of August 2017, before and after the demolition.

One of the elders from Umuoronjo  whom I interviewed through a phone call told me that the case is now in court. He disclosed that the Chief Judge  of Imo State High Court 1 told Rochas  Okorocha, the Governor of Imo State to pay the sum of #1,250000(i.e. one million, two hundred and fifty thousand naira for damages . And the money is to be paid to the people affected. After the last court sitting, she disclosed that the damages is as regard to the part of the market that he demolished at the earlier stage. It was reported that three  (3) people were shot dead and many were injured  due to their refusal to vacate the market. The people of Owerri were very angry that Rochas Okorocha did not see Ama-awusa market to demolish, he did not kill them, but he killed Owerri people and took over their market. The people took  to the streets of Owerri, "shouting No Election in Imo State". Also,  " Okoroawusa has killed us, Okoroawusa has left Hausa market and demolished our only source of income". What a mess!

Furthermore, earlier before now, traditional rulers were the most  respected people by the Government and communities but they were over looked and neglected by Rochas Okorocha. A woman who pleaded anonymous said that, this should be an eye opener to the people of Imo State to forget anything that concerns Nigerian Government and pull their full surport in Biafra quest and struggle.

Another witness said that the militants brought by Rochas to clamp down on Owerri people were from Ohaji. she revealed that they would stop Ohaji people from coming to Owerri to trade in any of their markets. She further stressed that Ohaji people's contribution in killing Owerri people have made them to become enemies. The question is, are those killers really Ohaji people or are they Hausa Fulani terrorists that Rochas used and tagged them Ohaji people??
