AN OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNOR ROCHAS OKOROCHA

Written by Solomon Iwejuo

Family Writers Press



Biafran enemies seemingly get increasingly present in my subconsciousness each time their names are mentioned. As a concerned Biafran, I feel obliged, addressing you Sir through this medium. Sincerely, my intention is not to speak disdainfully to you as the Executive Governor of Imo State. It is premised on the inclinations of your life which are reflective of the spate of detrimental and inhuman treatments the Indigenous People of Biafra whom you claim to govern, are being subjected to under your watch.

Prior to and during your electioneering campaigns as an aspiring Guber candidate, it is on record that the people of Imo State indeed classically showed their love for you as a supposed true leader to take them out of backwardness and other associated ills. You were held in high esteem, not oblivious of the fact that you were surreptitiously masquerading as one that could be trusted. Your campaign promises were garnished in lies and falsehood.

Sir, you could vividly recollect that you you brazenly made good use of the political platform and structure of the late people's General, Ikemba Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu to access relevance, confirming the fact that you were covertly pretentious and misleading. You craftily made Imolites to believe that the dignity attached to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), was truly yours like others who belonged. Conversely and fully too, the once revered governor in the Southeast, has disappointedly become a curse to the people and a political leader from a strange land.

Not until he became a governor, according to Max Okardi, that "We know he is a shared blood of two major tribes of Igbo maternal cum Fulani paternal origins which stemmed from family disputes between the acclaimed father and mother". Prying into your privacy was not intended but referenced to for you to clearly see your once concealed pretty shadows of selfish ambition.

Hitler, Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod, Idi Amin, and Abacha etcetera, are both biblical and contemporary examples of evil leaders who surfaced at one time or the other in human history to inflict sheds of terror upon their people and note that one day which is and cannot be under your control, must surely come for you to roast in the blossom of evil/tyrannical records of such men. At such a moment, Owelle Rochas Okorocha would become a caricature in the annals of history.

Permit me to digress a little into your privacy once again. Before your arrival at the scene as the governor of Imo state, you were a well known philanthropist that offered scholarships to Imo State children amongst others in Nigeria. You glamored in that feat but unknown to us, you hid behind such gestures to front the agenda of Islam as your Fulani overlords were reportedly said to have sinisterly pumped huge amounts of money in that respect to the Southeast. You are a Christian in disguise by answering Rochas and trying to hoodwink the gullible by aligning with the Catholic faithfuls. You are an avowed Islamist with a covert Islamic destructive mandate. Making possible headlines, there have been series of religious, political and false infrastructural hypes in Imo State, primarily lined to blow the ego of a murderer of the people he claim to have been elected to serve. You have as a Governor, worked with four different individuals as your deputies, alluding to the fact that you are dangerously chameleonic and can never be relied on. It is today, history that those who earlier reposed confidence in you are being betrayed because of your selfish political cum self-serving interests.

Your effort to drum up support for your Northern oligarchists has caused spate of untimely deaths to quite a number of our youths. Your parochial love for One-Nigeria as opposed to the overriding desire of the owners of the land has further depicted you as a leader in a foreign/strange land with vampiric antecedents. History most essentially, will never forgive you for determining to have your ill-conceived desires met amidst provocations, humiliations, deceitfulness, incarcerations, victimizations of the people and violations of their rights which were precipitated by brazen acts of impunity as clearly demonstrated in your callous demolition of structures justifiably owned by your fellow citizens. The people whom you falsely claim to represent, have for long rejected you.

It is on record too that the tenets of democracy in Imo State have grossly been bastardized as a result of your crass frivolous interests. Imolites desperately clamor for nothing else other than freedom from Fulani orchestrated enslavement and impoverishment. As a governor, who was duly elected on the platform of an indigenous party (APGA), in the year 2011 based on the people's desire that their inheritance be adequately preserved. But that under your administration in negatively evolving developments in Nigeria,

has woefully not been realized. It is now Biafra or nothing. The once treasured values of Igbo Biafrans, have shamelessly been destroyed by selfish, caliphated political merchants like you from Igbo extraction.

Governor Sir, my earnest prayer for you is that you live to reap the full recompense of your evil works. You have wittingly disparaged your integrity by allowing the Islamic Nigerian armed forces to mistreat our mothers who converged in your State to exercise their rights to freedom of association, freedom of speech and freedom of self-determination. They converged from across Biafraland to unequivocally place demands before the global community, on the whereabouts of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, their leader and his immediate and unconditional release from extra-judicial incarceration. You commanded your Fulani brother of a Commissioner of Imo State Police Command, to have these innocent aged, breastfeeding mothers, aunties, wives, daughters and sisters to be arrested, extra-judicially detained, molested, harassed, starved, assaulted, arraigned in Court and imprisoned for judiciously exercising their democratic rights. Your sins have indeed reached the high heavens and total destruction awaits you and your fellow accomplices.

The spirit of Biafra restoration struggle specially emboldened our mothers despite their travails, to vehemently stand up against the despotic antics of your imported Hausa-Fulani cum jihadistic thugs who came into Owerri in the name of Nigerian armed forces.

It should be stated here Sir, that no man no matter how powerfully tyrannic, fights the overriding will of a determined people and wins/survives. The permission expressly granted the armed forces by you to arrest, torture and detain Biafra women for no other reason other than peacefully exercising their rights, will most assuredly haunt and hound you. "It is only a fool that will say that there is no God". Be rest assured that nemesis beckons. As you have repeatedly vowed to cede/sell Imo State and her people to the Islamic world, it is vividly clear that the battle line has been drawn between you and the ever resilient, courageous and indomitable Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) globally. And you know what?, this God-orchestrated drive for the unfettered restoration of Biafra sovereignty must surely prevail.

The pronouncements of those ill-treated Biafran mothers within the seven days period of their detention in Imo State as ordered by you, remain effectual. Your evil machinations in concert with the presidency of the Islamic government of Nigeria against Biafrans will never ever see the light of the day. The effects of "ABA WOMEN RIOT OF 1929" are being reactivated in our time by our mothers.

Governor Rochas Okorocha, you are really a leader in a foreign land!

THE SEPTEMBER GENOCIDE AND THE GRAVEYARD

By Elochukwu Nicholas Ohagi
For Family Writers Press

Blood has become nothing in Nigeria as discovery of mass graves become an every day thing in the Eastern part of Nigeria. For clarity sake, I will like to intimate my readers that it was this same region that witnessed a genocidal war in 1967 to 1970, where the Nigerian Federal government led by Yakubu Gowon committed the worse genocide ever recorded in Africa. The war left not less than 3million Biafra people dead which includes more than one million children who died as a result of blockade and reckless bombing of schools, hospitals and refugee camps by the Nigerian government.

If told, one could not believe that 48 years after the civil war, graves of about 180 youths of Biafrans will still be discovered in the Eastern region of Nigeria in 2018, with bodies of about 50 youths dumped in Ezu river in Anambra state some years back. One would have thought that Nigeria would have learnt a lesson from the barbaric of a war waged on Biafra by Nigeria. But we are practically wrong. Rather than learning anything, Nigeria has continued the killing of the same people they killed their fathers in 1967 yet again in 2018. It is quite unfortunate that Nigeria instead of forging a bond of unity amongst her citizens, decided to use the same military that ought to protect citizens against the same citizens.

The Biafra war presented the people of Biafra as a world leading technocrats. They invented bombs, refined oils, flew their airplanes amidst bombardment and above all constructed Biafran made armored vehicles and fighter Jets they code-named "Biafran Babies". Note that all these happened within 3years and in a time of war. It is not even surprising that five little daughters of this same people called Biafrans from a school in Anambra state in 2018, went to America, competed with about 119 countries of the world and clinched gold medal. Nigeria never learnt anything from the ingenuity of this people. Rather they criminalized the name Biafra and always arrest anyone that mentions the name.

In the late 90s when I was still in secondary school, I experienced the worse molestation from two Nigerian Mobile police men. I have just returned for break from a boarding school, and decided to go for a walk. I was then in JSS2. This unprofessional Nigeria police with his thunderstorm of a voice asked me to stop.

So I stopped abruptly immediately as I was asked to. 'Are you a Biafran' he asked. I looked at him and retorted in what seemed to be a question than an answer. 'Do we have a country within a country' was what I asked him. From that day onwards I started researching and bombarding my teachers with questions on The Republic Of Biafra.

This is exactly how they intimidate people in Nigeria. Police men in Nigeria practically go out everyday hunting down Nigerians, like hunters do to animals in the forest. It is no longer news that when ever the Nigerian police wants you to commit an offense, and where you didn't commit any, they invent an offense for you. Do you know how many Nigerians that die every year in what Nigerian police always call accidental discharge? Sometime ago they killed a woman returning from work in Lagos. They have also dropped a bomb 'accidentally' in Internally Displaced People's Camp (IDP Camp) somewhere in Maiduguri, Boronu State.

Why is it that the sons of those that fought and defended themselves against Nigeria Military in 1967 are today rising up again in demand of their own nation through a well organized referendum? Let me quickly and unequivocally give an answer to this question.

'It is because for 48 years the country called Nigeria has suppressed them, placed an Economic blocked on them by denying them access to international airport and Seaports. The Nigerian government stationed military and police checkpoints every where in the East as though there's an ongoing war therein. You sight these fiercely looking security men at every nook and cranny. They make sure those security men stationed there are from the Northern parts of the country.

They intimidate commuters and torture people that ever try to answer calls anywhere close to the checkpoints. Infrastructural development are denied them. They have the worst road network in Nigeria. The second Niger Bridge till today is being used to play politics. The government made sure the new modern railways never reached the East. They declared psychological war on the people of Eastern region. From the end of the war they have made sure the true leaders of the people never made it to a reasonable political seat of power. They made it easy for their puppets, betrayals and saboteurs to lead the people. Puppets who will rather support the oppressors than their own oppressed, impoverished and disenfranchised people. The country have perfected a system cum structure with which they keep the Biafrans out of the scheme of things in the country. Forced them to desert their region in search of greener pastures and are being mistreated in the regions they ran to.

This is why they are rising up demanding for a country they can call their own. This is the reason people like Nnamdi Kanu have risen. For this IPOB is born. The killing of 1967 and the continuous killing up to 2018 have no doubt made the Easterners call for legitimate referendum to determine their fate.

Nigerian government reached the apogee of the killing in last year September 2017. September became another name for graveyard. Almost all the entire states in the Eastern Nigeria became a graveyard. When natural borrow pits became filled with bodies of Biafran youths, even as the security forces started creating mass graves to deposit their lifeless bodies. The people continued to disappear without traces. Taken alive to the edges of those graves and summarily executed. Today, most of those graves have been discovered and the people are thrown into mourning without any shoulder to cry on, for their political leaders seemed to be in tandem with their killers.

The Indigenous People Of Biafra have risen up. They have called for a GENERAL STRIKE cum sit at home on 14th September 2018 for everywhere in Eastern Nigeria in remembrance of all those armless innocent youths murdered by Nigerian military in September. There are much reason they should be honored and remembered. They are the real heroes of Biafra who died in active service for their fatherland. They paid the ultimate price for what they believe in. THEY ARE THE REAL HEROES OF BIAFRA.

IPOB DECLEARS SEPTEMBER 14TH A PUBLIC HOLIDAY IN THE SOUTH EAST

As a result of ongoing campaign of ethnic and religious persecution, genocide and humiliation of the people of Biafra in general and Igbo people in particular by this Buhari regime, culminating in the abominable incarceration of innocent mothers, grand mothers and great grand mothers in Owerri prisons, we the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) do hereby declare 14 September 2018 a day of general strike, mourning and resistance across Biafraland.

Inhabitants of South East/South South and all conscientious Biafrans living in other parts of Nigeria and the world are required to stay indoors away from work or daily business activities throughout the day of the 14th of September 2018 to register our anger and protest regarding the men and women killed at Afaraukwu in Umuahia during Operation Python Dance II on September 14 last year, those killed in Ngwa, Aba, Igweocha (Port Harcourt) and buried in unmarked mass graves as a result of unprovoked military invasion of Biafraland by the Nigerian Army.

We shall also remember all those killed in the struggle for the restoration of Biafra independence since August 2015 when the army shot dead Mr Okafor in Onitsha on a peaceful march from Nkpor to Onitsha main town. Their sacrifice will neither be forgotten nor will it be in vain, because come what may, this generation of IPOB must and will restore Biafra.

The sacrilegious and disgraceful humiliation of Igbo women, some of them great grand-mothers, ranks as one of the most abominable act of desecration ever visited upon the land of Biafra in recorded history. It will mark the defining event that completed the shame and humiliation of the Igbo race. The cowardice and impotency of Igbo socio-political and cultural leadership in the face of such humiliation by a single Fulani police officer in Owerri is confirmation, if one is needed, that South East and South South regions are conquered territories and vassal colonies of the Sokoto caliphate.

Nationwide general strike observed as a sit-at-home across Biafraland on the 14th of September 2018, is the only way we Biafrans can honour our fallen brethren and legitimately remind our northern oppressors and their collaborators in our midst that enough is enough! We do not want another Operation Python Dance or another mass murder of Biafra agitators and humiliation of our mothers in our land. Biafraland we state categorically, must emerge a free nation under God, whether our enemies like it or not.

What happened at Afaraukwu; the desecration of house of a traditional ruler, the slaughter of innocent men and women: the wholesale massacre along the Ngwa segment of Enugu-Igweocha (Port Harcourt) Expresswa, countless number of mass graves across Biafraland, is repulsive, inhumane, barbaric and worthy of total condemnation by all right thinking people. We await the day United Nations and other world bodies will give the issue of Biafra the same level of prominence it is giving Rhohingya.

All businesses, offices, markets, schools and road transportation will be shut down for 24 hours from midnight of the 13th of September. There will be no human or vehicular movement across Biafraland. People are expected to stay at home to pray for the soul of the brave and reflect upon the bondage our land is under. Any person or persons seen outside on the 14th of September 2018 will be classed as an enemy of the people because only collaborators in Ohaneze and South East Governors Forum that instigated Operation Python Dance and encouraged the army to kill unarmed innocent IPOB agitators will dare challenge this directive. As well as honouring our heroes that died in Afaraukwu a year ago and other places in Biafraland, 14 September 2018 shall expose who the saboteurs undermining the freedom of Biafra truly are.



COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB

OHANEZE YOUTH REACTS TO IPOB SIT AT HOME DIRECTIVES

Igbo Socio-cultutal group, Ohaneze on Wednesday said it was not against IPOB’s call for a sit at home in the South East and other Igbo speaking areas in the South South.

It however called on the pro-biafran group to carry out the exercise in a peaceful manner.




Spokesman of Ohaneze, Uche Achi-Okpaga states this in a reastikn he gave to Premium Times on IPOB’S sit-at-home exercise planned by the group for September 14. IPOB in a statement said it was carrying out the exercise to protest the invasion of the country home of its Leader, Nnamdi Kanu same date last year. Since the invasion by the Army, Mr Kanu’s whereabout have remained unknown with the Millitary and the group trading blames over his whereabouts.

Mr Okpaga in his reaction said IPOB is not a terrorist organisation. “Any action of IPOB that is peaceful is welcome. Sit at home is a welcome idea. That is what we have been saying that IPOB is not a terrorist organisation, they are a peaceful organisation”, he said. “It is the Nigerian Army and Government that is deploying all these ploys to make them look violent but all their actions are always peaceful and cordial”.

Mr Achi-Okpaga warned the Millitary not to capitalize on the sit-at-home to attack IPOB supporters in the region “There is nothing wrong with asking you to sit at home. If you want to sit at home you sit at home, if you dont want to sit at home you go about your normal business”. “Ohaneze will not be against that move what we don’t want is whereby they(the army) will capitalise on that to be killing our people”, he added.

Also, the National leadership of All Nigeria Ethnic Nationalities Youth Organizations has stated that it would interface with Governors of the South East zone to forestall break down of law and order during the September 14 sit-at-home order declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. The group further advocated an exercise devoid of violence arguing that the action is capable of leading to loss of lives and properties within the region.

It insisted that IPOB must change its strategy and ensure people’s lives are not lost in their struggle for self-determination. In a statement issued in Abakaliki, the Deputy National Chairman, All Nigeria Ethnic Nationalities Youth Organization, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro sued for peace as IPOB marks one Year Anniversary of the invasion in Nnamdi Kanu’s home in Abia State.

“Ethnic Nationalities Youth Organization will interface with South East Governors on the need to save Igbo land from any act that will bring down law and order in the face of IPOB/MASSOB struggle for self determination and Biafra agitation. It is necessary yhat such meeting will bring back the stakeholders in Biafra agitation to ensure peace in quest for self determination.

“Irrespective that any group is entitled to self-determination and freedom to observe any day as a means of expressing their anger or protest over perceived injustice and seek better ways to ensure redress through legal and constitutional channels, Ethnic Nationalities Youth Organizations caution for peaceful means devoid of violence and action capable breaking down law and order, the group said.

The group while acknowledging the injustices metted out to the zone on Sept 14 last year, the group urged security agencies to ensure that there was no confrontation with IPOB on the day of the sit-at-home exercise. “We Urge IPOB to consider the Economic loss of the people of South East and ensure that the sit at home on September 14th should not expose Igbo Youths to untimely death.

“We know that injustice recorded on September 14th will always be indelible in the minds of South Easterners but IPOB should put up measures in place to ensure re occurrence of such injustice never happen again, IPOB must change strategy and ensure people’s lives are not lost in their struggle for self-determination”

“We call on Security agents to overlook the sit at home order and ensure that South East didn’t witness any act of confrontation between them and Biafra agitators, and maintain peace during and after September 14th, 2018

RECLAIMING OUR AFRICAN LOST IDENTITY FROM AN UGLY PAST-A MASTERPIECE FOR A GOLDEN GENERATION

By Nwanna Benjamin

For: Family Writers Press




First of all, let us look into how Africa has managed from the beginning to where we are today. We were never the laughing stock to the rest of the world. We have done everything apparently on our own without the help of the whites.

Africa excelled in every aspect of life, from politics, architecture, astronomy, education to medical etc.




ARCHITECTURE


We have done well in terms of architectural development. By 12th century Africa was leading the whole world in architectural modernizations. Africa was the center of attractions in structures. Egypt has the greatest pyramid in Giza Egypt, Zimbabwe and Mozambique was also doing perfectly well in developing new architectural designs and patterns.


EDUCATION


The first teaching, writing and reading was first done by Africans, the Egyptians, Soweto’s, Ethiopians and Malians. The first mathematical invention was done by the Lembobo in Swaziland around 35,000 BC.

We did well in other aspects of life.


But what happened? How did we loose all our identity? How did we find ourselves in this present ugly realities? Where did we go wrong, so many questions yearning for answers!


This write up is solely targeted to help us look inwardly into our current realities and retrospect where we have gone wrong in times past and proffer probable solution to help redeem our long lost Identity.


THE ABANDONMENT OF OUR CULTURAL AND TRADITIONAL VALUES


Africa’s major mistake was the abandonment of their culture and tradition for that of the whites, wherein we lost our African values and dignity. We became dependent on them. We copied every aspects of their social lives and forsook ours. They told us that our culture and tradition are fetish and abominable, yet they rooted all our artifacts and sculptors, and today they are using it to extort us. The hardest and most backward thing to do is to live one’s life as an imitator of another, thereby neglecting and forsaking our own identity. This has relegated us to a second place. They got us infected with a psychological deficiency; problem that we surfer till this day. That syndrome is known as inferiority complex. That’s what is killing us in Africa. Nothing that we do is good enough for them and to us too.



For example, some people will tell you that they will never ride INNOSON vehicle because he doesn’t want to die, but the same person will ride in a rickety golf 2. Why? Because INNOSON is an indigenous motor and he doesn’t trust his work. I did not just give that example as an illustration but it's a true life story. Even many of you reading this piece have the same mentality.



THE GREEDINESS OF OUR LEADERS



The leaders in Africa are driven by greed and hunger for more wealth. They are vision less and selfish. Our leaders in Africa do not understand who a true leader is and what it means to be a true leader, rather their aim and intentions are to become a leader, acquire all the wealth so that the people can bow down to them. They care less about the legacy they will leave behind after they are gone, and unfortunately, the masses always fall prey to their political traps. Also, before the got into power, they are ready to do anything. They divide the people through religious lines, tribe and gender. A perfect example of these African leaders is the current President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari. In 2011 he threatened the entire country and everyone who was against him running for the presidency, he said and I quote ‘I will soak this country with the blood of monkeys and baboons if I failed to win this election" And he made good his threat after he lost the election. He killed hundreds of people including serving Youth Corpers. These are the types of leaders that we have in Africa. We don’t have men of good virtues again in our land. Men like Nelson Mandela, Chukwuememka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Herbert Macaulay. We don’t have men with vision again, men with two balls beneath them. All we have now, greedy men, selfish people, men who keeps quite in times of oppressions. Men who cannot speak out like Mazi Nnamdi KANU the dynamic leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Africa have lost all their men. Look at Zuma of South Africa, a disgrace to men like Mandela. Look at Mugabe, a disgrace to men like Gaddafi of Libya. We need new sets of young leaders with a new approach to solving Africa’s problem. We need to retrace our steps and correct where we have gone wrong.


NEGLIGENCE OF OUR ABILITY



Africans always neglect their abilities and capabilities. We don’t believe in ourselves anymore like our fore fathers did. We rely on the whites for everything. We forgot how our fathers survived the civil war without the whites. They manufactured basically everything they needed for the war on their own. They refined their crude oil, built air strip, mines and grenades, guns, tanks and to an extent flying rockets. What a generation of believers and men with great ingenuity and trust. They believed and trusted in their capabilities and strength.



THE QUESTION NOW IS WHAT WE SHOULD DO?



We have seen where we started from and where we are right now! What are we to do? We must go back to who we were before the coming of the Europeans, African women values, our African men dignity. We Africans must restructure ourselves within. We must develop our own teaching patterns with our own languages, just like the Asians did. Confucius did it in China, he developed a writing patterns and codes to help the nation in educational uplifting. Lee Kuan Yew also did it in Singapore. Men of great valor. So many of us in Africa has forsaken our traditional and native names. Before, we do have something like Okonkwo Ezedike, but nowadays we have things like Peterside Paul, Macaulay Mabel and Alexander Goodwill. who did this to Africa? We must go back in time if we are ever going to reclaim who we are [our identity]. Our government must implement the teaching of every subject in school with our native languages. China and India did it and it worked for them and still working for them. We have to free ourselves from European influence. Our young generations can hardly speak our native languages because of the influence of English language, another mans language. Let's think home, let's think Africa. Let's for once try to be independent from these whites. We must stand on our own if we are ever going to reclaim our identity. You can not be dependent on someone and expect to have all you deserved and respect accorded to you.



WHEN IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR US TO RISE UP?



Now and now. We don’t have time on our side any longer. All other people in the world have woken up and have taken their positions in the world's affairs. Europe, America, middle east and Asia at large. China, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Malaysia are doing Asia proud, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Quarter are also not doing badly. Are we going to talk about American countries? They are at the top. Europe is at their peak. Only Africa is still struggling with development. We Are now an object of laughter in the international community. Let us stand up on our feet and say enough is enough. its not late until its too late. An Igbo adage says that he who starts today starts early. A stitch in time saves nine. Support Biafra restoration if Africa must see the light of the day.

NIGERIA SYSTEM OF BURNING AND LOOTING

                                                               Amanda Uzor
Article Written by Amanda Uzor

For Family Writers Press




Corruption remains a major concern in Nigerian politics, but political corruption is not only in an election, where individuals and organizations donate huge money to help elect their man who will serve their interests but also after the election.

The decision of this government will be dictated by those group of criminals who will ensure no good governance.

Its obvious dictatorship is taken hold of Nigeria under a democratic process. The masses are held hostage by this cult.

The innocent citizens are prisoners and their crime is being born in Nigeria. Government means looting, oppression, intimidation, killings, and police brutality, hardship and hunger, and never the well being of the common man.

Children are yearning, give me the food to grow. The next morning the citizens woke up in a curfew.

Private homes and institutions are invaded by the military in a democracy, there's unnecessary military blockade of relatively peaceful states, the people could not recognize the faces standing over them. They said they are not armed bandits, but government forces.

How many rivers do people have to cross before they can talk to the boss? Nigerians have really paid the cost, all that they have they seem to have lost, and nothing left.




There is no government. Buhari is a monumental tragedy, while Buhari sings fighting corruption even though being fantastically corrupt himself, his men are busy looting the country to stupor, the grounds heating with constant agitations, and blood wetting the ground all over the country but can't quench the fire. Nigeria is under the tyranny of the majority.

The tyranny of the majority is a situation where the majority enforces its will on a disadvantaged minority through the democratic process. Buhari is democratically supported by a majority, therefore, his actions benefit the majority and with no regards to the rights of the rest of the citizens.

It is the duty of the government to observe the legal status of individuals and properties even though an average Nigerian doesn't know his or her rights. In a situation where a government means well for its citizens, it will endeavor to make them aware of their legal status in order to understand its importance and know how and when to claim it. Human beings have no legal status in Nigeria.




If the people understand the advantages, privileges, and benefits of 'legal status' they will support "the Process of Civil Rights to Human Rights movements", Indigenous status, Confederated Nation, Declarations and Reparations, each of which is very important for their existence, their position and the position of others and their belongings in the face of the law.




Legal status of individuals is the position held by something or someone with regard to the law. It is a set of privileges, obligations, powers or restrictions that a person or thing has which are encompassed in or declared by legislation. It's improper to allow Nigeria that operates without a law or a competent court of jurisdiction to continue in impunity as a country? According to the UN projection, the Nigeria population is 186 million and this is where one politician alone can steal $6bn all to himself, starched in a coded account offshore leaving the rest and the future generation hopeless.







Nigeria is polluted with unimaginable atrocities of crime against humanity, yet the world pretends that all is well. Western leaders are visiting a country on fire just for what they can grab, welcome to the corruption of supply and demand. So, never will they speak against the corruption and killings that are ongoing around the country. This heavy conspiracy is working to keep ordinary Nigerians poor. Nigerian youth have lost hope in the Nigerian system. Even a child that will be born in Nigeria in the next fifty years is likely to be born into poverty. Nigerian politicians are a bad influence on the younger generation, they are simply political thieves and the youth look up to them as the only way to become rich and not how to change their status.




For example, if you have the status of a Seminole Indian you would be given 1 million dollars when you reached 21 years of age. This would be far much better than Nigeria's NYSC craps.

Compare that with the status of a 21 years old African, a Negro, Black, African-American who according to data will be born into poverty. If young people can rise up against these looters called leaders starting from abandoning them during the elections and confiscate all stolen assets by demanding answers, where the money comes from, the real change will happen.

I think there are enough reasons for you not to go to the poll once again. Why would you go to poll in a looted and burning house, in a madhouse and a constitution drafted without your consent, simply meant to oppress you? Address those concerns first, you are smart, ignore it, a luta continua, but victory not certain.

IPOB DECLARES SEPTEMBER 14TH A SIT AT HOME TO HONOR THE VICTIMS OF THE 2017 MILITARY OPERATION


Written by Mazi Onyebuchi Eze


In less than a month period from today, the entire global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), will commence the annual commemoration of all Biafrans killed in Operation Python Dance in Biafraland by the Nigerian army. Quite a number of Biafran youths and men were gruesomely murdered in Aba, Umuahia, Isiala-Ngwa and Obigbo by a contingent of the Nigerian army in a most dastardly/evil military expedition codenamed Operation Python Dance II, between the 10th and 14th of September 2017, under the culpability and command responsibility of the Islamic fundamentalist President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari and his fellow Fulani kinsman, Lieutenant-General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, the Nigerian Chief of Army Staff. The Nigerian army under callous presidential directives, carried out the most horrendous military onslaught in 21st century history, against hundreds of innocent and armless Biafran agitators, in concert with and tacit endorsement of Ohaneze Ndigbo led by John Nnia Nwodo, Southeast governors led by Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, some clergymen led by Archbishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, Senator Ike Ekweremadu leading some Abuja cum Lagos based fulanised Biafran politicians/political contractors and some traditional rulers in Biafraland.


It should be vividly stated here that it was because of the rejection and threatened boycott of the last Anambra State abysmal governorship election of 18th November 2017, unless the Nigerian government gives a Biafra referendum date, that prompted the above mentioned saboteurs to connive with the Nigerian government to unleash terror on Igbo Biafrans, to pave way for the said election. It was also this ill-conceived Operation Python Dance II that led to the abduction of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the supreme leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) globally and his aged parents by the Nigerian army, whose whereabouts have remained mysterious eversince then till date. It should be recalled that on that fateful day, Nigerian army officers in a commando-styled raid, murderously invaded the palace/residence of His Royal Majesty (HRM), Eze Israel Okwu-Kanu of Ibeku ancient Kingdom in Umuahia province. This devilish mission of the Nigerian State was accomplished with the aid of armored tanks, aerial surveillance aircraft and spy drones hovering all over Umuahia to ensure that their star target, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never escaped the gruesome raid. This culminated in the massacre of twenty eight (28) Biafrans in the palace with the female cook and a security dog. For almost twelve calendar months now, neither has Mazi Nnamdi Kanu nor his parents been seen nor heard of.


Biafrans globally therefore, are obligated annually on the 14th of you September, to stay indoors and mourn the death of these victims orchestrated by Operation Python Dance II, the missing of the IPOB supreme leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his parents and also pointedly detest the activities of saboteurs in the land, as recently announced by the IPOB leadership. 14th of September is pivotal in the restoration struggle as a date in history to remember the treachery of the shameless, self-serving, caliphated errand boys and so-called Igbo leaders of Biafra extraction against their own people. The sabotage, heinous and murderous antecedents of these egocentric politicians must be annually remembered in the history of the Biafra restoration struggle even after the realization of this very unique cause. Until the 14th of September this year 2018, enormous pressures must ceaselessly be exerted on the Nigerian government and these shameless saboteurs in Biafraland, to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his parents to Biafrans from secretive custody. Biafrans believe that they are yet alive since their corpses have never been seen since after the 14th of September 2017 mayhem. Finally, Biafrans should not relent in notifying the world including the United States President - Donald John Trump, United Kingdom Prime Minister - Theresa May, Russian President - Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister - Benjamin Netanyaho, of the expediency in compelling the Muhammadu Buhari led Nigerian government to accord respect to International laws of human rights protection, by immediately releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his parents from extra-judicial detention. The people of Biafra in the West African sub-region have become the worst victims of modern day political tyranny, oppression and ethnic cleansing through the instrumentality of a devilish military expedition tagged Operation Python Dance. The global community must consequently do the needful by employing all relevant diplomatic machineries by ensuring that the Nigerian government releases Mazi Nnamdi Kanu because no crime has attributively been brought against him by any law in Nigeria. Quest for self-determination is never a crime. As for the victims of Operation Python Dance II, we as a people, must remember them on the 14th of September every year. The genocidal criminals commonly referred to as Igbo politicians and Ohaneze Ndigbo socio-cultural group led by John Nnia Nwodo, Biafrans shall continually remember them also for masterminds of the gruesome killings of their brethren to service the interests of their Hausa-Fulani slavemasters in the Nigerian contraption.

BIAFRA: IPOB OBIGBO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA (IGWEOCHA) HOLDS GENERAL MEETING

BIAFRA: IPOB OBIGBO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA (IGWEOCHA) HOLDS GENERAL MEETING

Ogochukwu Nnanna Reporting For Family Writers Press

The enlarged family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Obigbo local government area (Igweocha) held it's general monthly meeting on Sunday 26th August 2018. This is in keeping with the norm of holding an enlarged family meeting within the area, principally as a means of encouraging one another concerning the Biafra restoration struggle. The monthly gathering affords them the opportunity also to socialize and get adequately intimated with one another as brethren.

It should be noted that each of the zones in the local government area holds it's meeting exclusively and respectively according to their schedules.

This edition of the monthly meeting was exceptionally remarkable as "mock evangelism" outreach program was massively carried out within Obigbo and environs by participants, preparatory to the upcoming Biafra referendum exercise. The people were wholesomely alerted on the need for their full participation when the time comes, as a prelude for the final disengagement of Biafrans from this  "evil forest" called Nigeria.

The evangelism outreach program also served as a medium to drum up support for the IPOB  organised general strike throughout the entire Biafra territory, marked for Friday 14th September 2018. This is in strict observance in honor of Biafrans killed during Operation Python Dance II in the course of the murderous invasion of the residence of the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigerian army which provided the platform to get him and his aged parents abducted till date. The IPOB Obigbo enlarged family members encouraged the residents in the area to strictly adhere to the Sit-At-Home order as clearly given by the IPOB global leadership.

The general monthly meeting thereafter commenced with the theme of the meeting clearly spelt out: "REMAIN STRONG FOR WE ARE ALMOST THERE". The gathering recorded encouraging number of IPOB members within the local government area. Opening prayers, Biafra National Anthem and formal introductions were duly taken.

The most interesting/encouraging moment of the meeting was the sight of the presence of our 75 years aged mother who took part in the IPOB Women peaceful protest staged in Owerri on Friday 17th August, 2018. She was amongst the over 114 IPOB women abducted, incarcerated and grossly molested by Rochas Okorocha and the Imo State Government. The aged mother, brushed aside the pains of what she suffered at Owerri, to attend the general monthly meeting, as an encouragement to our ladies and other women in the struggle. She stated that she has through her detention in prison, paid a ransom for daring to demand publicly albeit fearlessly, the whereabouts of her son - Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and for Biafra referendum. She advised all to remain resolute and focused for in no distant time, Biafra will be restored.

The Coordinator of the Obigbo local government area, poured encomiums on our aged mother for her doggedness and courageous. He  encouraged her to keep up with the struggle undeterred for her sacrifice is an additional impetus in our collective effort towards the restoration of our homeland. The Coordinator further enjoined all members to remain strong and cautious against the wiles of the fulanised saboteurs/enemies. He sternly warned those involved in acts of subterfuge, stating that such band of evil doers will have no place most definitely in an independent Biafra.

The general monthly meeting eventually came to the end with moments of refreshments and snap shots of group photographs.

BIAFRA: IPOB PRESS RELEASE

IPOB [Full] Press Statement By Spokesperson Comrade Emma Powerful
"The attempt by Nnia Nwodo to endear himself to the wider public through his latest hypocritical press statement, has failed woefully. If the aim is to milk the goodwill of our people still basking in the euphoria of the release of our mothers who were illegally abducted, shamefully detained and humiliated by the Nigerian state, he has failed woefully.
"Where was Nwodo the day our mothers and grand mothers were humiliating corralled into a stinking prison by a Fulani Police Commissioner working on the orders of his fellow northerner Rochas Okorocha? Why didn't he personally issue a statement? He didn't because he was gloating that our mothers will suffer in detention as a way of getting back at IPOB. Those he spoke to told IPOB his exact words.
"His belated statement, issued earlier today, is too little too late and will not absolve him of his role in the ongoing persecution, murder and proscription of IPOB. When well meaning people all over the world, including Oby Ezekwesili, a certain northern governor and presidential aspirant, were busy condemning the atrocious detention of innocent Igbo mothers, Nwodo and all Igbo governors maintained their usual slavish silence for fear of offending their northern masters. Ike Ekweremadu never uttered a word either. But his chieftaincy title is Ikeoha, which means the warrior of the people.
"We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Worldwide reaffirm our previous stance that the silence of South East governors, Ohaneze leadership, Igbo politicians and front line traditional rulers, in the face of such overwhelming humiliation of an entire race, is confirmation that Biafraland in general and Igboland in particular is a conquered and occupied territory, superintended by a cowardly class of traitors answerable to Fulani caliphate.
"For Nwodo's information and that of Rochas Okorocha with his Fulani led Imo State Police Command, the arrest of our mothers is illegal. Therefore, the idea of sounding magnanimous in press statements is downright foolish. IPOB always win every court case against Nigeria, hence no single conviction has ever been secured against us till date and they never will.
"When you cheer your oppressors, as Nnia Nwodo, Igbo governors and politicians seem to enjoy doing anytime IPOB family members are detained illegally, you forfeit every authority to speak on behalf of the people because IPOB is the people and people is IPOB.
"Nnia Nwodo of Ohaneze Ndigbo and their fellow collaborators never uttered a word when our mothers were abducted, tortured, humiliated and spat on by Fulani controlled Nigerian Police. They are now glibly mouthing their usual nonsense to deceive the gullible and shore up their battered image.
"We remind Nnia Nwodo that we have not forgotten the massacre at Afaraukwu on 14 September 2017. We also wish to remind him that it was Igbo governors that proscribed IPOB first, not Aso Rock, as he would like to have the people believe. Was it not the same Nnia Nwodo that stood on the steps of Enugu Government House alongside Igbo governors to proscribe IPOB at the same time Buratai's Fulani soldiers were busy killing innocent youths inside Nnamdi Kanu's compound?
"Terrorist tag against IPOB came after Igbo governors and Ohaneze Ndigbo first proscribed the movement. It was Nnia Nwodo, Archbishop Emmanuel Chukwuma and Chief Guy Ikokwu a Lagos based informant and errand boy, that shared money donated by Igbo governors to corrupt Igbo traditional rulers at Nike Lake Resort Enugu on or around the 15th of September 2017 to support the proscription of IPOB. Sadly, Igbo traditional rulers led by Eze Eberechi Dick, who is a personal friend of Buhari's cousin Mamman Daura, presided over this process of shame.
"We are not unaware that it was Nnia Nwodo that personally appealed to the commander of 82 Division Enugu and Abba Kiyarri the real power behind Buhari-Jubril to launch Operation Python Dance. They think they are smart and we IPOB uninformed. It is in the open that same Nnia Nwodo and co are responsible for the impending Operation Python Dance 3.
"It is instructive that Nnia Nwodo admitted that northern governors protected treasonous Arewa Youths. Compare that to the treatment of IPOB by Igbo governors and understand that Igboland has been sold to the north.
"Nnia Nwodo keeps using the language that IPOB are his children whilst forgetting that four of our kidnapped mothers released from Owerri prisons are older than him.
"We especially commend Amnesty International, Intersociety, World Jewish Council, SERAP, social media activists, commentators, men and women of goodwill that stood up to defend the constitutional right to freedom of assembly. Shame on all Igbo governors, politicians and traditional rulers that were so terrified of the Fulani caliphate they couldn't defend their own mothers. Only now, after our mothers has been released have they found their voice. There is a popular Igbo adage that reads, nwoke lucha ogu, nwanyi enwere akuko. In the case of Nnia Nwodo it is now umunwayi IPOB lucha ogu, umunwoke Ohaneze enwere akuko. How the mighty has fallen.
