DEATH TO AMERICA, DEATH TO ISRAEL: NIGERIAN RADICAL ISLAMISTS CHANT

DEATH TO AMERICA, DEATH TO ISRAEL: NIGERIAN RADICAL ISLAMISTS CHANT




Radical Islamic faithfuls (Muslims) in Nigeria, freely took to the major streets in Abuja, Nigeria's capital city, publicly chanting "Death To America", "Death To Israel". This happened in the wake of the death of General Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian frontline army commander, killed recently by the United States Military in Iraq.

The Nigerian Muslims who gathered in their numbers, were protesting unintimidated and unhindered neither by the Nigerian Police Force nor the Army quite contrary to what normally obtains when Biafrans match out in relatively peaceful protests/rallies.

Recall that on January 2017 in a solidarity election victory rally and prior to the inauguration in office of Mr. Donald John Trump as the 45th President of the United States of America in Port Harcourt (Igweocha) in Biafraland, the same Nigerian government brazenly rolled out armored tanks with a detachment of fully armed soldiers into the streets. Biafrans were arrested, maimed and slaughtered during that peaceful event. This is why Biafrans are agitating for the restoration of the sovereign nation of Biafra. This is why United Nations, the United States of America amongst others, must dutifully give assistance to the restoration of an independent Biafran homeland because Nigeria was forced on all of us by Britain for their economic benefits hence nobody is a Nigerian.

Here in Nigeria, the Muslims will not protest the unjust killing of Biafrans by the Nigerian security forces, they will not protest the persistent killing of innocent indigenous land owners by the Fulani killer herdsmen but here they are, under security protection, protesting and setting ablaze, American flags for what happened in far away Iraq. This just serves as one of the typical examples showing that Biafrans are not and can never be the same with this people, much more cohabiting with them who thrive in terrorism.

Britain is just doing all she could to forcefully keep the so-called unity of Nigeria, basically for her economic gains and not because of the well-being of the suffering masses.
BIAFRA must definitely come; our agitations for the restoration of Biafra will never stop until Biafra is restored

Today we are peaceful and nobody seems to hear and listen to us, someday, very soon we shall abandon peaceful approach and Africa and the world will understand that technology originated from us.   Time shall always tell.

Pretoria: Protesters Outside Union Building Demand Nigeria President Buhari DNA test, Police Dispersed Protesters with Rubber Bullets and Stun Grenades



By Tom Head

October 4, 2019 | The Biafra Times

Granted, things get a little crazy with politics in South Africa. But it seems our Nigerian brothers and sisters are taking things one step further. As President Buhari came to give a speech in Pretoria following last month’s xenophobic riots, he was met with an altogether different kind of confrontation at the Union Buildings.

Protesters had gathered outside of the iconic landmark to make their voices heard. But those within earshot might have had to do a double-take when they clocked what the demonstrations were about. The group were demanding that Buhari addresses them immediately – and, while he’s at it, volunteer for a DNA test.

Why Nigerians want Buhari to take a DNA test

No, this isn’t a very continental episode of Jerry Springer. And it’s nothing to do with baby-mama drama. That would all be too simple. Instead, the protesters who rocked up outside the Union Buildings firmly believe that Muhammadu Buhari is either a clone, or has been replaced by a man called Jubril from Sudan.

The government have been openly accused of being complicit in a conspiracy by Biafran leader Mazi Nnamdi  Kanu. Kanu is a leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, a separatist group that seeks political autonomy for the Igbo speaking people of Southern Nigeria.

Watch protesters label the Nigerian President an “imposter”:

The IPOB were on top form again this Thursday:



Police use full force against protesters outside the Union Buildings

However, with conspiracy theories aside, things did get seriously heated during Buhari’s address. The civil disruptors were dispersed by stun grenades and rubber bullets. It has been reported that one of the Biafrans – a Nigerian national – was wounded in the leg and he’s currently receiving medical treatment.


Buhari in South Africa

Buhari said in his speech that he stood in solidarity with Ramaphosa in ensuring that xenophobic violence does not break out again. Buhari called on the South African government to learn from Nigeria, in how they dealt with the perpetrators nabbed for instigating the violence against South African businesses.

The Nigerian President will hold a ‘town hall’ meeting with Nigerian expats on Friday, where he will get an opportunity to hear about the traumas that his people have suffered since the xenophobic violence broke out.

What is Biafra?

Biafra, officially the Republic of Biafra, was a state in West Africa which existed from 30 May 1967 to January 1970; it was made up of the states in the Southern Region of Nigeria. People from this region identify with the old nation. The original declaration of independence from Nigeria resulted in civil war between Biafra and Nigeria.

BRITISH AUTHORITIES SNEAKS NIGERIAN PRESIDENT OUT, AMIDST THE THRONG OF PEACEFUL BIAFRA PROTESTERS



Eluwa Chidiebere Chinazu | Reporting for Biafra Writers

April 22, 2018

United Kingdom - On Thursday and Friday, 19th and 20th of April 2018, the world most peaceful freedom fighting group, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as named by Amnesty International, came out en masse in the United Kingdom where the Nigerian president, Rtd. General Muhammadu Buhari came for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM 2018), to protest against the incessant massacre, butchery of their people and the raving marginalization meted on them as evidenced in the Amnesty International reports. The protesters also bespoke, clamoured and demanded from the Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari, the whereabouts of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who has been missing since the Nigerian military invaded the Biafran leader's house on September 14, 2017 as ordered by Mr. President in a military operation code named, operation python dance. In the same vein, the people of Biafra never failed to demand for their referendum which its campaign is presently ongoing.



The protesters who protested at the Lancaster House in London and in front of the Commonwealth house in Westminster, London, were seen wielding placards which bore their agitation and banners bearing inscriptions of Biafra. The protesters, as usual, were chanting and singing while waiting for the president to come out of his hiding place.

"Heads of Government of Commonwealth countries, the Secretary General of Commonwealth, Ms. Patricia Scotland and the UK Prime Minister, Mrs. Theresa May, were all in attendance.

President Muhammadu Buhari, whose regime has been labelled incompetent and most corrupt ever by some world leaders and his fellow Nigerians, was perceived to be having a closed-door meeting with the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II and Theresa May, on how to keep milking the oil from Biafran land free of charge so that Britain will continue their one Nigeria policy and in return turning a blind eye to Nigeria's atrocities on Biafrans.



It should be on record that president Buhari's body language after seeing the protesters suggests he would have wanted them apprehended by the British Metropolitan Police. This has vindicated the Amnesty International reports on the evil and carnage modus operandi of the Nigerian military on the peaceful Biafran protesters being shot at, maimed and subjugated to inhuman treatment by the ordered of the president.



After the closed-door meeting with Queen Elizabeth and Theresa May, the British government sneaked the president out of the building instead of him coming out to address the people and answer the questions fielded to him by the protesters. Britain is a country known for been deceptive in nature. I mean, the state of Russia has also buttressed this fact recently by warning their media institutions and her government to stop peddling their inherent cheap lies against their government.

The world leaders should turn their watchful eyes on the perils of the Biafran people. Till date, no single person has been apprehended or keelhauled for the genocide committed on Biafran people between 1967 - 1970 which is second to the one committed on the Israelites (The Holocaust). President Buhari must answer to the International Criminal Court (ICC), for the atrocities committed on the Biafran people in this 21st century, under his regime. Biafrans has continued to push for a referendum to determine their fate. Referendum is the right of the people, give it to them in peace or they will take it by force.

Editorial: Despite the proscription of IPOB, protests continues to rock major cities in the S-East





















By Chukwuemeka Chimerue || For Biafra Writers

November 17, 2017


It was the lead counsel and Head of legal department of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Esq., that once said that the proscription and designation of IPOB as a terrorist organization are views merely expressed only on pages of the newspapers and does not carry any weight neither does it go any farther than that.

Realistically, Biafrans through their actions and inactions has shown that truly the terrorist tag on them is a mere waste of time and resources as they continue to hold their usual meetings and peaceful demonstrations in major cities against the slave masters, oppressors, colonialists and their instrumentalists in Biafraland.

These determined and unwavering acts has occassionally send shivers down the spines of the Nigerian government and its dictatorial cabals whenever they are confronted with the unflinching resolve and resoluteness of the Indigenous People of Biafra in restoring their ancient nationhood, that they are left with no other option than to resort to the continual deployment of trigger-happy security forces in the region.

The Federal government had reasoned that the proscription and tagging as terrorists, the Indigenous People of Biafra, will accord them the necessary leverage and wherewithal to destabilize their activities and throw disarray and/or disaffection in the camp of IPOB.However, the fact still remains that an average Easterner is in connection with the plight of their IPOB citizens and therefore, does not feel threatened by their activities in anyway, no matter how outrageous and insensitive it might appear to others. And this has helped in no small measure to strenghten the revolutionary struggle of IPOB.

Today, despite receiving the imprimatur of the law court in proscribing IPOB, they continued unabatedly to storm the streets in demand of their rights to self-determination and calling for a referendum to determine the plausibility of a Biafra nation. Without harbouring any atom of fear in them, they had demonstrated against the scheduled Saturday’s Anambra guber poll in the cities of Onitsha, and recently, in Aba, Abia State.

If the terrorist tag truly had any devastating effect or if it has dealt a heavy blow on the foundation and organization of IPOB, perhaps President Muhammadu Buhari wouldn’t have appealed to the people for calm and renouncing of the Biafra agitation during his unceremonious visit to the South East almost three years since his ascension to the presidency.

In a dispensation where secession and demands for referendum forms major ideologies of some countries of the world, the Nigerian government unfortunately has not yet learnt their lessons in the abusive, violent and highhanded approach exerted on peaceful agitators for sovereign independent nations in the country despite the warnings. They still perceive the idea as naive, dead and buried, even when it is very much alive and resonating in the hearts and actions of many. If they still have any atom of conscience in them, it would have dawned on them that the use of brute and excessive force and the deployment of amoury and gun barrels on ideologically-driven agitators never quenches their agitation or quest, rather it spurs and encourages them the more to be consistent, determined and unrelenting in their pursuit for liberation.

The government should know better that while it seems much more easier and feasible to roll out amoured tanks on unarmed and defenseless agitators as against those engaged in armed struggle, never put to an abrupt end, their resolved determination to continue in the struggle. In fact, it has proven to be the most formidable and unstoppable form of struggle because a situation where an armless people can boldly face the arsenals of the security agents, tells you that their resolve to accomplish their quest should not be mistaken nor taken for granted.

In their unrelenting quest for freedom, the Nigerian government should have realized that years of deploying armed troops and war tanks against IPOB has not yielded any veritable result in trying to quell the renewed agitation, rather, it has been sustained and empowered to gather more momentum. To achieve total peace where injustice, unfairness and absence of equity reigns, cannot be meted out with brute force. If the government continues the brutal suppression of activists/agitators using the country’s security apparatus, it is tantamount to pouring water on the back of a Camel while it continues to spring up like a skyscraper.
