ONITSHA– Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Onitsha/Nkwelle-Ezunaka, Anambra state last Sunday, November 25,2018 joined the Catholic Church community in the area in the procession and celebration of Christ The King/Corpus Christi.

The procession was carried out along Nsugbe College Road and Onitsha-Otuocha expressway both in 3-3 area. The benediction took place at St. Theresa's Catholic Church, Mba Farm.

Seizing the opportunity as a means for evangelism, the youths numbering up to 200, stormed the church in droves with flags singing, dancing and praying to God in the blessed Eucharist to come to the aid of Biafrans.

The celebration was marked with lots of surprises from IPOB family in the area. They provided sachet water to congregants participating in the procession. Biafran flags were shared to even non-family members.

IPOB family members also came with their own live band (sound system of worship) and the elated crowd who gathered by the band was far larger than any other band in the event. Everyone wants to identify with IPOB. They all felt at home dancing and praising God in the blessed sacrament while flying the Biafra flag.

Some IPOB youths also joined the church security outfits – Men of Order, Boy Scout, and Church Wardens – to maintain peace and orderly atmosphere during the period. Drivers, passengers and passers-by were happy seeing IPOB youths actively participating in the event as many of them parked and joined in the celebration.

A teacher from Bethroot Model School 3-3 who also participated in the procession was overwhelmed with the generosity of IPOB family members in providing everyone with cold water to quench their thirst while procession was going on under the scorching heat of the sun.

The most remarkable part of the event took place at the climax of the benediction when the priest was raising the body of Christ in the Monstrance, Biafra flags were flying and saluting God in the Eucharist, others with big flags were kneeling on the altar rail, praying for the restoration of Biafra.

Others were heard extolling the quality of organization, peace, and order maintained by IPOB family members on the course of the procession and benediction. They saw firsthand how gracious IPOB members can be while preparing for the coming of God's kingdom on earth.

At the end of it all, there was no report of any breach of law and order recorded on the course of the Christ the King/Corpus Christi procession and benediction which IPOB family members were recognizably part of.

Recently, it can be recalled the actions taken by Biafrans against campaigning for Nigeria elections at a Catholic Church in Aba. In turn, the parish priest of Christ the King Cathedral Catholic Church, Aba, released a press statement against IPOB, accusing her members of invading and disorganizing church programs.

We can all agree that many Biafrans in the struggle are Christians worshipping in different denominations according to their faith and choice. And they cannot stand it when those who are meant to protect their interests are part and parcel of their problems. They cannot stand it when the pulpit is now politicized against the wishes of Biafrans. And that is the injustice they stood against in Christ the King Cathedral Catholic Church.

Biafrans are Godly people. We are the embodiment of Chukwu Okike Abhiama-God on earth. We extol the sanctity of the fear of God and respect for human dignity, freedom of worship and expression. That is why there is nowhere in history Biafrans engaged in war of conquest or forced people to accept their culture, identity or religion. Rather they welcome other people's culture, worship, and identity even to their own detriment.

The Christ the King/Corpus Christi procession and benediction actively participated by IPOB family members in 3-3 Area Onitsha/Nkwelle-Ezunaka is yet another evidence that we are the most peaceful freedom fighting outfit in the whole world. We are all united as Biafrans irrespective of your colour, religion, and beliefs. We are Biafrans.

All Biafrans are asking for is our God-given Freedom, to leave free in our fathers land Biafra.

Long live Biafra!!!
Long live Biafrans!!!

Biafra: CKC invites Nigerian army to clamp down on IPOB, turns church cathedral to a campaign ground

November 9, 2018

IPOB Press Statement, published on ||The Biafra Times 

It is now in the public domain that Christ the King Church (CKC) in Aba, Abia State called on Nigeria Government and her security agencies to begin a clampdown on any individual suspected to be member of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB). Its a pity that CKC Aba a place where our people worship and pray to Most High God (Chukwu Okike Abiama) would turn the house of God to a place where Nigerian politicians come and do campaign for their selfish interest. It is sad that priests that are meant to be at the forefront of the emancipation of the masses are in our land encouraging our oppressors to continue killing us. The same politicians that have connived to suffer our people are the people that priests are campaigning for to be elected for another four years of impunity.

It is important we advise our people that attend churches where politicians are allowed to do their campaign, to be very careful. It is baffling that clergymen and women have allowed politicians to play their dirty politics in the house of God. The house of God is a sanctuary  and must remain so, not a den for  criminal politicians. Therefore, we are urging the clergymen and women to reflect on why Christ died on the Cross of Calvary.

Christ never allowed politicians, rich men or businessmen to do trade in the Temple. Those in charge of CKC Aba should learn this important lesson in the scriptures. We are calling on all priests and pastors in Biafraland to refrain from all forms of politicking. IPOB are fighting for our dignity, respect and freedom.

The one and only IPOB family ably led by our supreme leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu does not tolerate or condone any form of crime and cannot be provoked into violence by anybody whosoever. We respect our priests, men and women of God who respect themselves and cannot be cowed by any sponsored propaganda or blackmail from any quarter no matter highly placed they are. IPOB is a disciplined organization championing the liberation and independence state of Biafra and nothing more.

We must not forget to advise whosoever that is picking up fight with IPOB is bound to fail because IPOB is divine movement ordained by Chukwu Okike Abiama (God Almighty) which no one can stop. The impression being given by CKC Aba is that they are in support of killing of innocent citizens in the name of working for Nigeria politicians.

We are aware that some clergymen and women cannot do without involving themselves with dirty politics in Nigeria but must do it with decorum and respect for other people’s wish or they will have themselves to blame. IPOB sounded it loud and clear to all and sundry that they will not be part or participate in 2019 presidential election not because of churches. If the clergymen and women including pastors are praying for the success of 2019 presidential election they are hallucinating because elections cannot solve Nigeria problems and understand that there are people who are calling for election boycott which IPOB is one among them. The church must put this into consideration so as not to fall into the hands of the enemies of the masses and displease the real owners of the land.
