Biafra: The Enigma, Nnamdi Kanu Under British Watch Chiseled Nigeria Into Confusion with Absolute Truth

Biafra: 
The Enigma, Nnamdi Kanu Under British Watch Chiseled Nigeria Into Confusion with Absolute Truth

The man called Mazi Nnamdi Kanu means a lot of things to millions of men and women, living and dead alike. What baffles many till date is how such an outstanding character could be hidden from prying eyes of humanity for such a long time until he surfaced few years ago.

He was even unnoticed by the world intelligence agencies, especially the MI5 and MI6 there in Britain where he registered Radio Biafra. Ordinarily, as a man who poses a great threat to British interest, it is the duty of the MI5 and MI6 to have stopped Mazi Nnamdi Kanu earlier before now, but their inability to put him on a leash while he was carrying out his thorough mental cleansing on Biafrans and Nigerians alike proves that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was and is still “under the shadow of the Almighty Chiukwu Okike Abiama”. 

Like Moses, he was brought close to understudy the enemies of his people. Conscious of the fact that he was born for this purpose, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu held tenaciously the opportunity provided and presented to him by Hashem. He indeed understudied Britain.

Read This: BIAFRA: OUR MISSION IS THE RESTORATION OF BIAFRA--Biafra Writers To Igbo Politicians

As a passionate and nationalistic Biafran who was keen in his assignment of delivering his people, he worked with MASSOB with the clear intention of working for the restoration of Biafra under the leadership of the now compromised Ralph Uwazuruike. When his passion and transparency which are antithetical to Uwazuruike’s dubious purposes were noticed, he was forced to exit the group.

There is no way Nnamdi Kanu would have worked successfully under Uwazuruike considering the fact that he was and is totally out for Biafran restoration while Uwazuruike on the other hand was and is still out for the exploitation of the Biafra cause. Nnamdi Kanu is a Prince from a royal family and the only driving force to what he is doing is his unalloyed love for his peoples’ freedom, while Uwazuruike was poor and is being driven by greed and love for money in the Nigerian political system.

While Nnamdi Kanu was predestined to lead his people out of Nigerian oppression, Kanu's choice to follow Uwazuruike as at then as planned by Hashem was to have his will prevail. Today, it is no news that Nnamdi Kanu has disfigured and bruised the ego of Britain, Nigeria and their evil allies. What else is left for them than to give way for Biafra restoration. Like a resolute builder, Nnamdi Kanu has chiselled Nigeria out of context with his strategies. 

If there is any shock Nigeria is experiencing today, it is the enigma called Nnamdi Kanu which they never anticipated or better said, underrated. While Mazi Nnamdi Kanu spent enough time understudying Britain, what marveled many back home in Biafraland is how he was able to design a system that has created tension in Nigeria within a short period of time.

Those of us who are privileged to have a close study of Nnamdi Kanu’s personality can authoritatively tell you that his prevalence lies on the fact that he held strongly his relationship with Hashem. He never joked for a moment with that. While others are boasting in Spiritism and mysticism, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never deviated from his trust in Elohim. He confesses and professes his trust in Hashem which Nigerian Government never knew. 

Apart from the Biafran project, Nnamdi Kanu has ever wished to introduce to Biafrans, Nigerians and the world, the God they never know. That God (Elohim) has proven Himself worthy by judging the gods of Nigeria and Nigerians today.

What else can we say, after different consultations and attempt to kill Mazi Kanu failed, our enemies has resolved to climb from mountain to pole. The likes of Obasanjo who earlier regarded Biafrans as miscreants are now talking about “sharing cakes” albeit with the miscreants. Who owns the cake he wants to share? How can you share what you do not possess? Biafrans should be the one to determine who gets what even if we were to agree to share any cake. The likes of Obasanjo should bury their heads in shame as the so called "miscreants" has suddenly become their worst nightmare.

Biafra: Why We Want Biafra And Not Restructuring Of Nigeria


May 20, 2017

Notable people keep questioning the Indigenous People of Biafra, what the essence of Biafra is and why we want her and not restructuring. I have tried severally to convince them that it is not a matter of wanting but having to restore the original right of ownership given naturally to us by Chukwu Okike Abiama.

Before the advent of the British, the Northern and Southern protectorate existed independently until Britain amalgamated these separate entities that is more or less "oil and water", a very bad combination that can never blend together. The evil empire out of greed and urge to serve their economic interest, not minding the negative impact of their actions went ahead to concoct what is today known as Nigeria.


Biafrans having being in slumber for too long, have been hit with great reawakening like a thunderbolt through Nnamdi Kanu’s eye opening enlightenment of her history. Therefore, we need Biafra because it is our identity and cannot be allowed to remain abducted for the continued exploitation and looting of her mineral resources by the British, Hausa-Fulanis and the Yorubas who are nothing but leeches and parasites.

while on the other hand, restructuring will continue to subject us to deprivation and limit our ability to take full control of our domain, resources and future. Biafra is our heritage and we have a right to dwell in her without oppression, invasion or extortion from strangers.

Biafra depicts our personality, cultural values and ways of life. She reveals our natural abilities, beliefs and common interests. How then can we not want to experience and enjoy the dividends God attributed to us as a people and settle for restructure which will still pave way for stealing of her wealth and destiny?

Read also:BIAFRA: 30TH MAY SIT-AT-HOME (HEROES DAY) IS SACROSANCT

Who will be so foolish to remain in darkness when light abound from her foundation? Ignorantly, we have allowed ourselves to be cunningly abused and mistreated but now that enlightenment has come through, " it is better we search for the black goat in daylight."

The blood thirsty government is so archaic that it has spilled many innocent Biafran blood and still not satisfied. What makes you think that restructuring will stop the killing of Biafrans? Can anyone justify the essence of a union characterized with killing of unarmed masses by joint government military forces armed to the teeth in armoury?

Read also:BIAFRA: WHAT HISTORY HAS THOUGHT US IN FREEDOM FIGHTING

Can anyone tell why terrorists and marauding murderers are granted amnesty with financial benefits? Is it justifiable for people of separate beliefs, cultures and traditions be enforced and enclaved into a contrasting contraption?

How beneficial is it for a particular region to claim ownership to rulership in a community of equals and of diverse nations? What is the essence of existing with hatred and greedy persons, whose sole aim is to loot your wealthy resources as booty and abandon you to penury?

Read also:BIAFRA: EVEN IN FAR SAVANNAH, GEORGIA: THEY REFUSED TO BE SLAVES AND DROWNED THEMSELVES

Who can bear the pains of poverty amicably and with pride amid restructure? These and more are begging to be answered, and if no one can give a sincere answer to these questions, then the issue of restructure should be trashed into the bin.

Biafra is our heritage, it is our origin, it is our inheritance, it gives us our identity and therefore, we refuse to become a nonentity. As far as Nigeria is concerned, only her dismemberment into its original component parts will save Biafrans and her fellow occupants of the British estate called Nigeria.

Biafra: The tragedy of one Nigeria

Biafra: The tragedy of one Nigeria

19th April 2017

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a man choosing to live in denial of the reality of his situation for a short while. After all, denial is part of the grieving process. The first part, actually.
When I lost my father, the late Emmanuel Nwodo Ogbu Nwa-Chima, not too long ago, too afraid to admit the obvious and too scared to face the world on my own, for days, I lied to myself that my good man wasn’t dead but had somehow disappeared to someplace cool and would re-appear later to attend to his good boy. Sadly, he never did. And here I am. Stronger than he left me.

The biggest tragedy that would befall a man is for him to live in denial for far too long that he has now come to accept his own lies about his ugly situation and swallow them as though they were the gospel truth.

Sadly, this is the tragedy of the situation of Southerners in the Nigerian experiment.Contrary to what many believe, the Southern part of Nigeria IS NOT in a union with the North. They are in slavery and the North is their slave master. It grieves me to admit this but it grieves me even more that it's true.

READ THIS: Biafra: Our Love For Biafra Is Unquenchable, Cannot Be Thwarted By Killings And Intimidation

But this is not even the real problem. The real problem here is that most southerners appear either oblivious of the fact that they are in slavery or they’ve come to see their chain as a very beautiful bracelet. There is no task more tedious than rescuing a slave who is unaware of his slave status.
“I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves,” says Harriet Tubman.

Southern Nigeria is living in slavery. Let’s hurt ourselves with the truth rather than comfort ourselves with lies. If the truth is bitter, that is more reason we need to hear it.

Here in this country, less than two years ago, a Northern Muslim man from Kano State who goes by the name Yunusa Dahiru (alias Yellow) kidnapped an under-aged Christian girl named Ese Oruru from Bayelsa State. And to prove that a child sent to steal by the father breaks the door with his head, Yunusa took his victim straight to the palace of the Emir of Kano where the girl was brain-washed and forcibly converted to Islam before being repeatedly raped and impregnated by Yunusa. She is nursing the baby even as I write this.

Now, here is the real proof of the slave status of the southerners: The then Police Inspector General was a southern Christian by name Solomon Arase and this police chief had known about this case for over nine months. He equally knew the identity as well as the address of both the victim and the perpetrator and accomplices of this crime but he was too scared of the slave masters to intervene to rescue the innocent girl. On several occasions, the mother of the victim travelled from Bayelsa to Kano in search of her daughter but was assaulted by a Kano mob at the palace of the emir while the police played the spectator. I.G Solomon Arase would later tell the whole world that he could not just walk into the emir’s palace to rescue the kidnapped victim without the blessing of the emir who was in Saudi Arabia for the lesser hajj.

MUST READ: ATROCITIES OF ISLAM: SHOCKING REVELATION!!!... NORTHERN ISLAMIC JIHADISTS STOLE OVER 2.8 MILLION BIAFRA GIRLS

A police chief admitted waiting for the permission of a traditional ruler before rescuing a kidnapped victim hidden in the palace of the traditional ruler with the full knowledge of the said traditional ruler.

How do you think this would have played out if it was a certain Chukwudi that abducted an under-aged Muslim girl from Kano and hid her at the palace of the Obi of Onitsha?  Would the police wait for permission from the Obi before invading his palace? Would our Muslim brothers even wait for the police before killing any southern living and non- living thing around them?

Fulani criminals have murdered thousands of Nigerians and displaced millions. To make it worse, they’ve repeatedly admitted to these killings right in the presence of security agencies. Matter of fact, last year, immediately after they slaughtered over 500 Agatus in Benue State and dozens in Nimbo, Uzo-Uwani, Enugu State, the leader of the marauding Fulanis, one Senator Dagari Alkali led a delegation of the butchers straight to the defence headquarters where they publicly told everyone that, indeed, they were responsible for the killings attributed to them because in his words; “we have been pushed to the wall”

MUST READ: WHY WE NEED BIAFRA: RAPE AND PEDOPHILIC MARRIAGE, A NORM IN FULANI TRIBE

And what was the response of the defence chiefs? They all shook hands, took a group photograph with the ‘special’ visitors with open teeth and the Fulanis majestically walked out of the defence headquarters like the slave masters that they are. And the killing continues.

But just in case, these instances didn’t quite explain the slavery situation well, here are other instances: Last year, an Igbo Christian woman, Mrs Bridget Agbohime was gruesomely murdered in broad daylight in Kano by a group of Muslim youths for what they call blasphemy. We cried. We shouted. We wailed louder than the reggae god, Bob Marley.

Biafra: Odo Festival: Ohebe-Dim Community Calls For Return To Culture And Tradition, Surrenders Self For Biafra



















April 7, 2017

ENUGU— FOR the people of Ohebe-Dim community and other neighbouring villages in Igbo-etiti Local government Area of Enugu state, the Odo festival is a sacred age-long tradition revered by all. The festival is more like a religion and a culture to them.

During this auspicious moment, cultural dancers, masquerades and all kinds of artistry and acrobatic show are being displayed. An orange leaf in a powdery form, which they refer to as Odo(peace), is applied on the forehead by all. And to say the least, the festival has been able to unite the people of the community in such a way that those living both far and wide, occasionally return back to their home to observe the event which comes up on every two years interval. It is considered as a big event in Igbo-etiti LGA.

And so, members of the national media Writers’ team in company of others from the Indigenous People of Biafra resident in Enugu, seized the opportunity to evangelize and sensitize the community to join the Biafra restoration project currently championed by the detained IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Quite overwhelming, the issue of Biafra is not in anyway a new thing for the villagers, particularly the village chiefs and traditional title holders of the community who warmly welcomed us with open arms and allowed us to hoist Biafra flag to every corners of the place of the event.
The inhabitants of the community were all in support and commendation of the present efforts being targeted at restoring Biafra, while on the other hand, calling for the return of our sacred norms, cultures and traditions as our pride and way of life.

Addressing the people of the community, one of the media agent, Mazi Francis Anih, urged them to come out en masse to defend their rights and support the Biafra struggle under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu while at the same time, upholding their revered culture and tradition.
According to Anih, “In Biafra our hope stands. We are using this opportunity to seek for you people’s support in our struggle for freedom. The flag we are displaying right here is what Biafra is known for.

“If you have paid attention to the condition of our people in Nigeria, you would need nobody to tell you that we are deliberately exempted from the scheme of things in this country and so when we get Biafra, things will begin to augur well for us. “We all have witnessed the violent invasion of Fulani herdsmen in our communities, killing our mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. Hardly will they launch an attack without leaving behind, many number of victims and casualties. And so, we want all these to stop; they’ll all leave our lands when we get Biafra.

“We’re also supporting you all for organizing this Odo festival, because we don’t want our tradition to be dead, buried and forgotten. We’re going back to our culture, our heritage and tradition for that is our pride.”

One of the village leaders, Mazi Kelvin Ugwuanyi, the Atama Okeikpe, who spoke to Biafra Writers’ Correspondent talked more about the festival which he said can never be abandoned by the community.

Ugwuanyi said: “Today, our people came together so that we celebrate the Odo festival. Odo can never stop in our land, it’s a good thing, it means peace. It brings our people living in different parts of the world together. Omenala(tradition), will never leave our lands. We can never and have no power to abandon our culture and tradition.

“The white people and Queen Elizabeth brought Christianity and Church to us, they’re our former colonial masters. But Odo is has been part of our tradition right from time immemorial. Our ancestors has been observing it before we came. It has been our god, police and protection from the beginning. It is also our local court where disputes between two people or families is being settled.”

The village leader also supported the current call for the restoration of Biafra, saying that “Kanu will make Biafra stand again. His detention portends evil and death for Nigeria. Biafra is alive again.”
Also speaking, another traditional title holder, Enyiduru Hyginus said that the Odo festival is a festival of peace and as a form of religion for them.

According to him, “We seize this opportunity to exchange pleasantries and goodwill on the arrival of our people living outside this village. Women are not allowed to go near the Odo when it is preparing to coming out, they can only do that when it is already out. The orange substance applied on our faces symbolizes peace.”

Commenting on Biafra, he said, “I have been a member of MASSOB in Enugu, going to their meetings but afterwards, Uwazuruike deceived us and looted our monies and that dragged us back but now that Nnamdi Kanu has sprang up to tell us about Biafra, I am very happy.
“The other day, I was coming back from Nsukka and saw some IPOB members marching along the road, it gave me so much joy. We have suffered enough. If they want us to die today, we are ready but we want our freedom.

“We heard that our brother(Nnamdi Kanu), will be going to court on 25th. There’s no other information we get here, it is hard for us to receive information here but our ears are on ground to hear the outcome of the court. We have been asking, is there any crime our brother committed, he is only advocating for the freedom of our people. Let them give us freedom, Hausa/Fulani has maltreated us.”

Also Mr. James Ugwuoke; a traditional chief who condemned in all ramifications, the killings by rampaging herdsmen said, “They said they’ll give us Adada state and so many other things they promised us, but at the end, nothing has been done.

“Buhari allowed these herdsmen to continue to kill us and we must stop that from happening all the time.
“We pray to God everyday to grant us freedom and we will support Biafra anyway we can and join the IPOB family when established here.”

Biafra: UN's Charter On Right To Self Determination Not Viable For Biafra


March 16, 2017

Biafrans all over the world have severally complained about the injustices and the extrajudicial killings meted out on them by the Nigerian government. The war currently looming in Nigeria will affect those adding to its gravity and also those that has remained adamant to the cry of Biafrans.

When this assumes its place, let the dormant United Nations not say we didn’t alert them of the ongoing genocide which the Nigerian government is triggering against innocent and peaceful Biafrans.

An impending war that will affect the world in general if this premeditated annihilation of Biafrans is not rightly put to an end is looming, those with ears should hear and avert this impending disaster that is about to befall humanity. The UN should do the needful now by calling for Biafra’s independence through referendum and not wait until heavy bloodshed occurs or when an irreparable damage has been done.

Just for peacefully supporting Trump in a solidarity rally the Nigerian government killed innocent Biafrans. In exercise of our right to self-determination and in peaceful gathering, the murderous Nigerian military and police continued to kill our people. And the world think we will continue to fold our hands and watch as a second genocide and extra judicial killings is perpetrated against our people happen, no we are not that weak, but in due time, we shall pay them back in their own coin.

Read also:BIAFRA: ECOWAS TWISTING THE LONG ARM OF JUSTICE - A BIG SHAME

We can't be in the same country with the set of people who have sworn to exterminate our existence; those who murder us at every slightest opportunity. Separation is the only way to remedy the present situation in Nigeria and not restructuring.

Trying to compel us to stay together with these group of savages is dead on arrival, it’s mission impossible and heaven bear us witness this time that we are ready to die to see our beloved nation restored.

It is surprising to see the British working so hard to conclude the Brexit process, while forcing Biafrans to remain with murderers and Islamic fundamentalists.

It could be recalled that Scotland once fought to exit U.K via referendum which failed, but yet once again, that same failed project has been reactivated by the Scottish first Minister Nicola Sturgeon and the world including the United Nations has no issue with it; yet, same project is not permissible for Biafrans and I ask why?

Read also:BIAFRA: NIGERIA: THE DEADLY VIRUS CREATED BY LUGARD MUST BE ANNIHILATED

Britain can go ahead to equip Nigeria as they did during the Biafra War of 1967-70, but this time, they will meet their equal, and that is the main reason why Britain will suffer everlastingly for forcefully amalgamating the people of Chukwuokike Abiama with the Northern parasites.

We want the world to do the needful and end the genocide against the defenseless people of Biafra, don’t wait until millions are killed before you will help. Is the UN charter for the indigenous peoples a worthless policy? The UN should make it clear and stop adding to the pains of the people who want to be free. Freedom is a universal law, it's our right as humans, and a free gift of nature.

BIAFRA: IPOB MAKES HISTORY AS BIAFRA GENOCIDE EXHIBITION OPENS


March 10, 2017

History will be made today 10th March, 2017 as the much publicized Biafran Genocide Exhibition opens in Biafran Embassy in Vitoria, Spain. The exhibition is slated to last for 3 days commencing from 10th March - 12th March, 2017.

This will be the first time in history that the atrocities committed against Biafrans by the Nigerian government in collaboration with the British government and other supporters will be in exhibition for the world to see.

Read also:BIAFRA: BRITAIN'S UGLY ROLE IN THE ONGOING KILLINGS OF BIAFRANS BY THE REPRESSIVE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT

When contacted by our reporter on why his office is organising this noble initiative, the Head of Directorate of the Indigenous People of Biafra (HOD), Mazi Uchenna Asiegbu had this to say "One of the major reasons that we are putting this exhibition together is to avoid a situation where tomorrow the genocide committed against Biafrans will be denied. We are aware of the ongoing move by the British government as well as the Nigerian government to rewrite history and claim that the genocide never happened. We want to use exhibitions like this to put the genocide against our people in the consciousness of the world especially the media"

The Head of Directorate equally believes that it is in preparation for the denial of the genocide and pogrom against Biafrans that history was removed as a subject of study in Nigerian schools.

Read also:BIAFRA: THE CALL FOR YOUTHS TO REVOLT AGAINST NIGERIA AND SUPPORT REFERENDUM

He however promised that his office will continue to lead initiatives aimed at reminding the world about the genocide against Biafrans and why justice must have to be done in the case of the Biafran genocide as it was done in the case of the Holocaust against our Jewish brothers.

When asked about those that are expected at the exhibition, Mazi Uchenna Asiegbu had this to say "The top world media are coming as well as war historians, exhibitors and the general public. He also hinted that foreign friends of Biafra are also invited to the exhibition to come and witness first-hand the atrocities committed against Biafra by the Nigerian government and her British collaborator.

Speaking in same vein, during a live broadcast from the venue of the exhibition monitored in Lagos, Nigeria, the deputy leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Uche Mefor who anchored the broadcast stated that a World Conference will equally be held during the 3 day event.

At the time of filling this report, Biafrans from all works of life were seen arriving the venue of the exhibition. All the principal officers of the Indigenous People of Biafra are expected to witness the exhibition as well as the conference.

The HOD equally informed Biafra writers that plans are in the pipeline to make this exhibition an annual event.

A call to Ostracize Ohaneze, and Other Ibo Traitors



"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." – Samuel Adams
As fully configured stooges, sycophants, and traitors, the contemptible southeast governors, Ohaneze, shadow organizations, status pastors, and the rest of Ibo impostors have, as anticipated, issued combined, and, or individual statements without warrant, ordering Biafrans to jettison their “protests” and “freedom”, and instead enter into an unholy dialogue with the murderers of their own people. Clearly, you flatter yourselves.
You will by no means escape recompense for all the senseless massacre of Biafrans which your shameless treachery and complacency has caused. For you charlatans, everything under the sun is compromisable. You have literally dug your own graves for the sake of greed and crumbs, not minding that the cake belongs to you, and those you double-cross. You’d rather share with invaders than your own people.
Of course not every elder is in this category, but the culprits understand themselves as they are understood. Therefore this message is for you, the enemy within. You have never showed any modicum of the leadership you kill or die to take. You have abdicated your natural roles, and sold your birthrights for a pot of stew. You wear treachery and cowardice like a staff of duty. You mingle and dine with the enemy who hates you and seeks to destroy your people.
You have failed to identify clear and present dangers by mortal enemies of Biafra. You have refused to speak out vociferously, but instead acquiesce as your countrymen suffer progressive genocide, are mass buried in shallow graves in the wilderness of Northern Nigeria; systemically marginalized, subjugated, massacred, scattered, and impoverished. Your age-long meddling, duplicity, compromises, betrayals, and greed has reached intolerable levels, and continues to endanger all Biafrans. You are collectively an anathema to Biafra.
You have complacently and smirkingly watched as Nnamdi Kanu—who bravely took on the goliath that you are too terrified, and cowardly to face—is abducted, tortured, and incarcerated by your coworkers of darkness. Shouldn’t you have insisted that that wicked genocidist freed your sons and daughters whom he arbitrarily incarcerated, before shamelessly asking Biafrans to abandon their struggle, and negotiate new conditions of rape? Are you so merciless that you enjoy riding on the suffering of your own flesh and blood? Or are you asking Biafrans to be patient with Satan as his hell still blazes?
So what then if any basis should any of you imposturous leaders be dialoguing with the enemy who is destroying your people and heritage while he’s still at it? And what more are you second-guessing about one Nigeria and Muhammadu Buhari? Take a look @1Nigeria. Could it be that Buhari secretly repented without our knowledge, or showed remorse for his role in the massacres, following the June 1966 coup, of more than 300 Biafran Soldiers; followed by a pogrom of 300,000 Biafrans trustfully living among the Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba; and the
subsequent genocide of 3.5 to 6 million Biafrans, mostly women and children? Or that his current actions, nepotism, callousness, and continuation of killing of Biafrans are not telling enough for you blind bats? How much wickedness and greed does it cost to buy out your children, your land, your integrity, and your soul?
Your baseless benefactor Buhari is unmistakably an impervious stark illiterate, a lawless man, a murderer, a genocidist, a war criminal, a chameleon, a congenital liar, and worst yet, an Islamic terrorist; though in a democracy, but too illiterate to comprehend the rule of law, let alone fight corruption, or manage an economy. Buhari will say or do anything in pursuit of Sharia. Therefore who and who are dialoguing, and with whom exactly?
The aforementioned attributes might seem impertinent until you factor that Buhari has left a long trail of bloody foot prints since 1966 to date. To delve deeply will immediately derail this message, but quickly, let’s take one recent example. During Jonathan’s regime, Buhari floated an anti-Jonathan radio station, used freedom of speech to heap every manner of accusation against Jonathan’s regime, continually spewed incendiary remarks, dared Jonathan to arrest him, used freedom of association to conduct clandestine gatherings, incited many riots, defended Boko Haram, killed multitudes of Biafrans and others via his riot instigations, constantly rained threats on Jonathans administration and his supporters. Here “Dogs and Baboons” may relieve your amnesia.
Having successfully terrorized his way back to power—because he has historically relied on terror instead of superior argument to usurp power—Buhari is now demanding his Senate gofers for wider power to crush freedom of speech—the same freedom he usurped—the very epicenter and heartbeat of democracy. In exactly what breadth then should this menacing monster be taken seriously? Clearly, his involvement in democracy is a fraud. Buhari’s real agenda is to kill, destroy, terrorize, pillage, deceive, and Islamize. Only a dangerous chameleon would dare to use democracy as cover whiles indeed a rabid raving tyrant. But worse yet, only a delusive bumbling buffoon will give more room to a blood bathing genocidist. Buhari remains an unrepentant mass murderer, and a very wicked Haman.

In a nut shell, Haman was the anti-Semitic villain in the biblical story of Esther who tried in vain to exterminate all the Hebrews living in ancient Persia around 500BC. He built a tall gallow and set about to hang a very prominent Hebrew (Ibo) official named Mordecai. By divine intervention, Haman’s plot boomeranged, and he was hanged on the very gallow he set up to hang Mordecai (Marduka, Mmaduka) as the rest of his wicked scheme backfired on his family and minions.
Although we can’t speculate the outcome had Mordecai been gutless and gone instead to appease, negotiate, dialogue, bend over, and compromise with Haman. But we do know with absolute certitude that if Biafrans dare to negotiate with Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba, Britain, Islam, and Buhari, soon they will attempt to obliterate the children of God. So what, with whom, and for who are these treacherous Ohaneze and their ilk negotiating?

Suffice it to say that you have completely lost your compass conniving with the Muslim North to keep your countrymen in a devilish contraption where bullies, criminals, and murderers like you,
are promoted, and the innocent destroyed for resisting. Your actions mean something, if anything, a set of fiendish ideologies that must be exorcised by these brave Biafrans marching daily in their multitudes—many of whom have died fighting to free you from mental slavery, and relative imbecility.
You’ve embezzled your way to notoriety as those you rob wander for their next meal. You have not only embraced a contraption that is comprehensively destroying your heritage, scattering your children abroad, and enslaving those left behind, destroying your infrastructure, maintaining a permanent air, land, sea, blockades against your people as if at war, besieging your land with Muslim terrorists, police and military touts, who mount roadblocks, and molest your folks, extorting your kith and kin, abducting, and shooting your countrymen, raping your women as their wild cattle eat out their crops, planting Boko haram terrorists among you, and the list goes on; but one that has profoundly rejected you, insult your sensibilities, while using exclusively your resources to develop their regions. How pitiful.
In the relatively short period of her existence however, the Indigenous People of Biafra under the leadership of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu have pressed the restoration of Biafra to the center stage of world politics. IPOB and Radio Biafra has redeemed more than 80% of Biafrans from the shackles of British divide and conquer policy which runs exclusively on blood, lies and brainwashing of which you (Ohaneze, puppet governors, and other colonial agents) are hapless casualties—because your minds have been colonized, scrambled, and fully reconfigured like robots. You function exactly as the British intended. What a disgrace.
Furthermore, against your wish, Biafrans from the entirety of former Easter region of British-Nigeria are now more united than ever before. Exponential progress is recorded daily via IPOB and associates’ united peaceful worldwide demonstrations which cover the globe with images of a nation breaking free. All these were accomplished in spite of your perfidy, betrayals, and wickedness.
According to a reliable intelligence report, Ohaneze ndi okwu asi, connived with one Ibo trader in Cotonou to scuttle Biafra protest as part of the criteria before his coronation as a caricature Eze Ndi Igbo in Cotonou, Benin Republic, on Saturday, December 5th 2015. To want to be king, and then be crowned a king in diaspora, albeit without subjects or real territory, at best is not just laughable, but questionable; not unless the agents of such parody have no shame.
Having temporarily obstructed the planned IPOB demonstration, the sponsors of this lampoon gathered in Cotonou to fantasize, while tens of their brethren are massacred senselessly at Onitsha Head Bridge while fighting to free them from Bondage.
These same Ohaneze elements accepted N5 Billion from Goodluck Jonathan to remain silent as Biafrans massacred in the north are discarded with no regards for the cultural rites they claim to champion. Now, for the sake of, I suppose, relevance, Mr. Ebuka has boldly set himself against Biafra’s independence. But make no mistake; you will be no more successful at stopping Biafra’s independence any more than you could a moving train by jumping headlong in its path.
You say you are the mouth piece and chief custodians of Ibo culture? Agreed. But by whose tradition are you crowning an Ibo king outside Ibo land? Or is this diaspora king a novelty of
Ohaneze? You silverbacks have taken Biafrans for granted for too long; even in the face of existential threats. Your Priorities as seen in Cotonou testifies against you.
Since I can only speak for myself, I suggest that Biafrans all over the world openly disown forever Ohaneze Ndi Ojoo. It is time to come out boldly and expose to the world that Ohaneze are Trojan horses who aid and abet the enemy to subjugate, exploit, and kill Biafrans. Their cup henceforth is full. It is time to alert the world that Ohaneze are traitorous personae non gratae among genuine Biafrans; and they must seize and desist from using the hallowed name of Biafra to advance their criminal enterprises, and wash their dirty laundries. Let the universe know that Ohaneze are impostors and are by no means representative of Biafrans’ interests.
Finally, the quest for absolute restoration of Biafra is a phenomenon that both the puppets and their puppeteers, as well shadow organizations like Ohaneze Igbo are totally powerless to dispel. It is a phenomenon that is defiant of every human intrigue. It is, indubitably, a moving force not only recognized the world over, but an insurmountable force arisen from a battered people, but placing itself above the will of man. Thus, Biafra spirit is indestructible and her march to freedom immutable.
Hence, you must understand that this is a movement that shall not reverse until Biafra is unconditionally and completely restored. You bottom feeding scoundrels have blood in your hands; thus, you have lost forever the moral right to speak concerning Biafra restoration. Know that your treachery is in full view of Biafrans, and Him who watches over Biafra, and you will by no means escape judgment.
Your only hope is to repent now, and visibly condemn Buhari, and British-Nigeria without reservation, then step aside, before it is too late. To be forewarned is to be fore armed.
For True Biafrans, 3 cardinal principles must continue to govern all actions:
1. Never negotiate with mortal enemies or their benefactors.
2. Seek independence from a position of strength and remain unshakable.
3. March fearlessly, ceaselessly, and overcome all enemies, at home, abroad, within, without; and in every way, shape, or form that they come.

There’s no substitute for militant freedom. The only alternative is submission and slavery ~~Calvin Coolidge~~

Police Clampdown: Scores Arrested in Nigeria For Listening To Radio Biafra

The Right of Indigenous People of Biafra is repeatedly and unabatedly trampled upon by Nigeria government
By Ibeh Gift Amarachi
(For Family Writers)


The Human Rights Act protects the fundamental rights we all have as human beings. Every Human has the Right to Freedom. The "International Magna Carta" for all Mankind adopted by the United Nations says; "Disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” The Islamic Terrorist and Hypocritical President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari exposed himself, via his United Nations Speech on Self-Determination and the Right of Indigenous People. He stated that; "As we engage in these annual debates, we need remind ourselves of the principles that led to the founding of the United Nations. Among those are peaceful coexistence and self- determination of people. The world has no more excuses or reasons to delay the implementation of the long list of Security Council resolutions on this question. Neither do we have the moral right to deny any people their freedom or condemn them indefinitely to occupation and blockade. International community has no excuse to continue to delay implementation of UN resolutions on self-determination for Palestinian people". This same Hypocritical President of Nigeria, who pretended to be agitating for the Freedom of Palestenians, has unabatedly unleashed Mayhem, Terror and as well ordered for the violation of the Human Rights of Biafrans.

Enugu State SARS have arrested Ten IPOB (Indigenous People of Biafra) members who gathered in one of their members shop listening to Radio Biafra at Trans- Ekulu ugbo Odogwu. Their offence being that they were listening to Radio Biafra and for such are instigating war. According to our source who pleaded anonymity, the men of Nigerian Police also threatened the owner of the shop that they will come back for him. Such indiscriminate arrests of peace loving citizens listening to Radio Biafra have also been reported some time ago in Aba in Biafra Land. Similar case has been reported in Owerri by the members of Indigenous People of Biafra, who the Nigeria Police arrested for having Radio Biafra Application, on their devices. There is nowhere in the World, that Humans are been arrested for listening to a Radio Station. Kudirat Radio Station owned and sponsored by Yorubas, went on the waves, but there was no recorded case of arrest for listening to the Station. BBC HAUSA and AREWA24 are Television Stations owned by Hausa/Fulani which is used to propagate Islam and political interest, but no case has been reported by any Nigeria, that he/she was arrested for listening to those stations. The Right of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, is repeatedly and unabatedly trampled upon by the Nigeria government, which is against International Human Right. This has to stop, thus the World should let Equity and Justice prevail.

Nsibidi is an ancient Igbo writing system of graphic communication indigenous to the people of Biafra






Nsibidi (also known as nsibiri,[2] nchibiddi or nchibiddy[3]) is a system of symbols indigenous to what is now southeastern Nigeria that is apparently an ideographic script, though there have been suggestions that it includes logographic elements.[4] The symbols are at least several centuries old: Early forms appeared on excavated pottery as well as what are most likely ceramic stools and headrests from the Calabar region, with a range of dates from 400 to 1400 CE.[5][6]
There are thousands of nsibidi symbols, of which over 500 have been recorded. They were once taught in a school to children.[7] Many of the signs deal with love affairs; those that deal with warfare and the sacred are kept secret.[7] Nsibidi is used on wall designs, calabashes, metals (such as bronze), leaves, swords, and tattoos.[2][8] It is primarily used by theEkpe leopard secret society (also known as Ngbe or Egbo), which is found across Cross River among the Ekoi, Efik, Igbo people, and other nearby peoples.
Outside knowledge of nsibidi came in 1904 when T.D. Maxwell noticed the symbols.[4] Before the British colonisation of the area, nsibidi was divided into a sacred version and a public, more decorative version which could be used by women.[8] Aspects of colonisation such as Western education and Christian doctrine drastically reduced the number of nsibidi-literate people, leaving the secret society members as some of the last literate in the symbols.[9] Nsibidi was and is still a means of transmitting Ekpe symbolism. Nsibidi was transported toCuba and Haiti via the Atlantic slave trade, where it developed into the anaforuana and veve symbols.[10][11]

History[edit]

The origin of the word nsibidi is not known. One theory traces the word to the Ekoid languages, where it means "cruel letters", reflecting the harsh laws of the secret societies that hold nsibidi knowledge.[12][13] In Calabar, nsibidi is mostly associated with men's leopard societies such as Ekpe. The leopard societies were a legislative, judicial, and executive power before colonisation, especially among the Efik who exerted much influence over the Cross River.[5]

Origin[edit]

The origin of nsibidi is most commonly attributed to the Ejagham people of the northern Cross River region, mostly because colonial administrators found the largest and most diverse nsibidi among them. Nsibidi spread throughout the region over time and mixed with other cultures and art forms such as the Igbo uri or uli graphic design.[5] In 1909 J. K. Macgregor who collected nsibidi symbols claimed that nsibidi was traditionally said to have come from the Uguakima, Ebe or Uyanga tribes of the Igbo people, which legend says were taught the script by baboons,[3] although one writer believes Macgregor had been misled by his informants.[14]

Status[edit]

Nsibidi has a wide vocabulary of signs usually imprinted on calabashes, brass ware, textiles, wood sculptures, masquerade costumes, buildings and on human skin. Nsibidi has been described as a "fluid system" of communication consisting of hundreds of abstract and pictographic signs. Nsibidi was described in the colonial era by P.A. Talbot as "a kind of primitive secret writing", Talbot explained that nsibidi was used for messages "cut or painted on split palm stems". J.K. Macgregor's view was that "The use of nsibidi is that of ordinary writing. I have in my possession a copy of the record of a court case from a town of Enion [Enyong] taken down in it, and every detail ... is most graphically described". Nsibidi crossed ethnic lines and was a uniting factor among ethnic groups in the Cross River region.[5]

Uses[edit]


Court Cases - "Ikpe"[edit]

Nsibidi was used in judgement cases known as 'Ikpe' in some Cross River communities. Macgregor was able to retrieve and translate an nsibidi record from Enyong of an ikpe judgement.
The record is of an Ikpe or judgement case. (a) The court was held under a tree as is the [15]
custom, (b) the parties in the case, (c) the chief who judged it, (d) his staff (these are enclosed in a circle), (e) is a man whispering into the ear of another just outside the circle of those concerned, (f) denotes all the members of the party who won the case. Two of them (g) are embracing, (h) is a man who holds a cloth between his finger and thumbs as a sign of contempt. He does not care for the words spoken. The lines round and twisting mean that the case was a difficult one which the people of the town could not judge for themselves. So they sent to the surrounding towns to call the wise men from them and the case was tried by them (j) and decided; (k) denotes that the case was one of adultery or No. 20.


Ukara Ekpe[edit]

Nsibidi is used to design the 'ukara ekpe' woven material which is usually dyed blue (but also green and red) and is covered in nsibidi symbols and motifs. Ukara ekpe cloths are woven in Abakaliki, and then they are designed by male nsibidi artists in the Igbo-speaking towns of AbiribaArochukwu and Ohafia to be worn by members of the Ekpe society. Symbols including lovers, metal rods, trees, feathers, hands in friendship war and work, masks, moons, and stars are dyed onto ukara cloths. The cloth is dyed by post-menopausal women in secret, and young males in public. Ukara was a symbol of wealth and power only handled by titled men and post-menopausal women.[16]
Ukara can be worn as a wrapper (a piece of clothing) on formal occasions, and larger version are hung in society meeting houses and on formal occasions. Ukara motifs are designed in white and are placed on grids set against an indigo background. Some of the designs include abstract symbols representing the Ekpe society such as repeating triangles representing the leopard's claws and therefore Ekpe's power. Ukara includes naturalistic designs representing objects such as gongs, feathers and manilla currency, a symbol of wealth. Powerful animals are included, specifically the leopard and crocodile.[5]

Examples of Nsibidi[edit]


Below are some examples of nsibidi recorded by J. K. Macgregor (1909)[15] and Elphinstone Dayrell (1910 and 1911)[1][17] for The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland and Man. Both of them recorded symbols from a variety of locations around the Cross River, and especially the Ikom district in what is now Cross River State. Both of the writers used informants to retrieve nsibidi that were regarded as secret and visited several Cross River communities.

Igbo Ukwu the lost ancient civilization in Igboland




A bronze ceremonial wine bowl, Igbo Ukwu, Biafra land, 9th century

Igbo Ukwu is an archaeological site near the modern town of Onitsha, southeastern Nigeria. The site was part of the Nri Kingdom, and it was used in the 10th century AD. The site has several parts, including a main burial, and associated caches and shrines.Igbo Ukwu was a burial place
for elite personages, and the burials identified there were interred with a large quantity of costly grave goods.

The principal burial is of a person buried sitting on a stool, in fine clothing and rich grave effects such as over 150,000 glass beads, and accompanied by the remains of at least five attendants. Elaborate cast bronze vases, bowls and ornaments were discovered at Igbo Ukwe, made with the lost wax technique.The bronzes are among the earliest cast bronzes in sub-Saharan Africa. The bronzes were manufactured locally; but the glass beads are an indication that the Nri Kingdom was also involved in considerable long-distance trade.Igbo Ukwu was excavated by Thurstan Shaw in the 1960s.
