WE WILL MAKE BIAFRA LAND TOO HOT FOR POLITICIANS IF THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT OUR LEADER'S FREEDOM - IPOB

 

IPOB Press Statement | The Biafra Times

July 16, 2021

Based on verifiable information at our disposal concerning the betrayal of our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by few selfish Biafran politicians and greedy businessmen in collaboration with the wicked Nigeria Government, we the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), wish to sound the following note of warning:

 Be it known to all Biafran politicians both serving and non serving, that if any thing happens to our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in detention, they will all regret their docility over his plight.

We therefore task all of them including Governors, National Assembly members, Ministers, Commissioners, State lawmakers, Local Government Area Chairmen, all political appointees both current and former to ensure our leader is freed from detention as soon as possible. They can't pretend or feign ignorance at this critical moment in our history and struggle for freedom. If they fail to stand with the people, then they should get ready for the wrath of the people. Should anything happen to our leader while they idly sit back and do or say nothing now, then Biafra land will be made too hot both for them and their families.

Again, all those behind the abduction and extrarendition of our Leader should be ready and prepared to face the bitter consequences of their treachery. Judas' reward awaits them!

All along IPOB has been peaceful while our members are being abuducted and killed by security agents. Now they have abuducted our leader and these so-called Biafran Leaders are keeping sealed lips. We won't take it anymore. It's either they stand with the people or be counted among our enemies.

Our leader cannot be languishing in detention while these people will pretend that all is well. Their Northern counterparts are shamelessly defending Fulani bandits and terrorists rampaging communites across the country yet these weaklings cannot speak out against the injustice against their own. Enough is enough! No more sitting on the fence. Everybody must declare ones stance.

As long as our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains incarcerated in Abuja, all the politicians from ward level to federal level including traditional rulers,  stakeholders and religious leaders will never have peace till he comes out except they wake up now.

PRESS RELEASE: FRUSTRATED SOUTH EAST GOVERNORS TOO SMALL TO DECIDE FOR NDIGBO ON BIAFRA - IPOB

 

 

June 22, 2021 | The Biafra Times

 IPOB PRESS RELEASE

SOUTH EAST GOVERNORS TOO SMALL TO DECIDE FOR NDIGBO ON BIAFRA - IPOB

The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the purported disowning and condemnation of IPOB and the Eastern Security Network, ESN, by the frustrated South East Governors and  few self-centered political leaders in the region. We are not however, surprised because they were the same people to proscribe us before the federal government tagged us terrorists.

The purported statement by these shameless political generals without foot soldiers has only further exposed them as Caliphate boot-leakers. They know too well that they have since lost grip and control of the masses, hence, their desperation to regain the trust of their paymasters. The only publicly disowned IPOB thinking that doing so will make them regain the trust and favour of the Caliphate.

The governors, Ohaneze Ndigbo and the handful traitors masquerading as the Igbo political elite should wake up to the realities that they have since lost the confidence of the people. We understand the worry of these Efulefus: They are rattled by the unflinching support and loyalty of the masses to IPOB.

 It's only unfortunate, shameful and disgraceful that the so-called Igbo leaders will be quick to disown and betray their own in their quest to appease their slave-masters. The South East Governors again, in 2017 they sat together in Enugu State to proscribe IPOB and federal government declared them terrorists with the support of South East Governors while they are not. To their shame, how many times have their Northern counterparts disowned the bloody terrorists, bandits and Fulani herdsmen rampaging the country?

So, the South East self-acclaimed Leaders are quick to disown IPOB and ESN, yet they are calling us to accept the calls for peaceful negotiations? What a hypocrisy!

How can South East governors be so desperate for power beyond 2023 that they can sacrifice anything and anybody for personal gains? In case they don't know, even the Northerners they are trying to impress understand the handwriting on the wall. They know that the governors are on their own. They can't decide for the over 70 million Biafrans home and abroad.

How can five Efulefus determine the fate of over 70million people. These South East Vassals should know that during referendum, they only have one vote just like the man on the street.

If these frustrated politicians without conscience and direction are discerning enough, they should know that they should  first push for referendum to determine if the people they pretend to be speaking for actually have their support. No matter their pretenses, our people are tired of One Nigeria. They have since opted for Biafra, and there is no going back on this irrevocable resolve!

We want to unequivocally declare again, that the five South East governors and the few self-appointed Igbo elite, are too infinitesimal to speak for the millions of Biafrans who are tired of being held hostage in this contraption called Nigeria. They don't even command the loyalty of all their appointees let alone the egalitarian Igbo nation that never gave them the stolen mandate they parade.

Anybody listening to these traitors does so to his peril. There is no negotiation on the people's resolve to restore Biafra where human dignity will be respected.

ESN: IPOB Replies Uwazuruike - Press Statement

 

IPOB PRESS RELEASE | THE BIAFRA TIMES

March 3, 2021

IT'S STUPID TO SUGGEST THAT ESN BE HANDED OVER TO TREACHEROUS S'EAST LEADERS, IPOB REPLIES UWAZURUIKE

The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been drawn to the shameful statement credited to the hotelier and hostel builder in our society who has been parading himself as the leader of a shambless and disgraceful group called MASSOB /BIM, Chief Ralpheal Elebeanya Uwazuruike, that God-ordained Eastern Security Network, ESN, security outfit established by our liberator Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should be handed over to his co-traitors like South East Governors to manage. 

How on earth did the hotelier Uwazuruike think that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should handover the heavenly ordained ESN to the slaves installed by the Caliphate in different Government Houses in Biafraland? His intention of making such stupid suggestion is to turn ESN into another Eastern region version of the heavily politicized and now toothless  security outfit formed in other regions. IPOB cannot fall for their trap!

Uwazuruike is not ashamed of himself by trying to use ESN to cover his atrocities in Biafraland. Uwazuruike was the man who boasted that he had more boys than Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that should he unleash his boys no place would contain them.

 We therefore, challenge Uwazuruike to form his own security outfit and hand over to the South East and South South governors. IPOB and its leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu are capable of managing ESN to pursue its mandate.

Uwazuruike thought that IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu are like him that shamelessly sold the future of our unborn generations to the same oppressors he claims to be fighting against just because all he wanted in life was to escape poverty and live in style and opulence. Sadly, he does so with the blood of Biafrans. This same individual that openly condemned the launch of ESN earlier, is today shamelessly clamoring to be identified with it. How times have changed!

We IPOB have come with an unshakeable resolve to liberate our people from the Lugardian damnation called Nigeria. The mistake this hotelier and hostel builder and his likes made with our collective future is what IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu are fighting ever so hard to correct today.

At least, now he knows they can never be like us. Unlike him, IPOB is a noble family of liberators that cannot be bought or sold to the highest bidder. Neither will we allow earthly material considerations to move us to distraction. Our mission is a very simple one: RESTORE BIAFRA! Nothing more nothing less!

IPOB HAILS S'EAST GOVERNORS FOR BANNING OPEN GRAZING, ASKS ESN TO ENFORCE

IPOB Press Release |The Biafra Times

February 2, 2021 

We the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra; IPOB ably led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to salute the courage of South East Governors for heeding our Leader's call to ban open grazing in the region. We received with delight the news of a statement credited to the Chairman of South East Governors' Forum, Dave Umahi, to the effect that open grazing has been banned in all states of the zone.

IPOB wishes to acknowledge the wisdom of the governors to respect the people's will for the first time. If the governors had not been seized by  useless fear and trepidation over the Fulani before now, our region wouldn't have been in this mess. 

We therefore, want to aver, and assure the governors that our gallant Eastern Security Network, ESN, will ensure strict enforcement of the ban which is also in line with a subsisting but neglected judicial pronouncement in 1969. At the expiration of the two-week ultimatum already issued by our Leader for open grazing to end in Biafra land, IPOB and ESN will move in to deal with any herder flouting the law.

Since the law enforcement agents are too weak or have wittingly failed to enforce the ban, we can no longer afford to sit idly and watch the wanton  destruction of lives and crops of our people. ESN will do the needful. We shall no longer allow law breakers to have a field day after inflicting physical and economic harm on innocent victims.

The 12 Northern Muslim States already have their Hisbah police enforcing their Sharia law yet they claim Nigeria is one.  Alcoholic beverages worth millions of Naira belonging to Biafrans doing their legitimate business in those states have been callously destroyed by these overzealous elements and nothing happened. Yet some wicked mortals masquerading as herders are daily openly grazing their cattle on our farms, kidnapping our folks for ransom, killing and rapping our mothers and sisters. The security agents not only show blind eye to these unimaginable criminality but sometimes provide cover for the perpetrators.

We, therefore, wish to remind all herders in Biafra land that the era of occupying our forests and grazing on our farms is gone. They have to vacate our forests and relocate to cities where other human beings live. Wandering about with cows can no longer be tolerated on Biafra soil. Anyone interested in cattle rearing will either build a ranch as obtains in civilized societies or leave Biafra land. Do not say you are not warned!

We advise all herdsmen in Biafra land irrespective of their tribe to restrict themselves to the law of the land or relocate to regions where open grazing is allowed. Our patience will elapse after the expiration date of the 14-day ultimatum by our Leader.

Breaking: South-East Governors Yields to Pressure, Bans Open Grazing in The Region

 

February 1, 2021 | The Biafra Times

The Governor of Ebonyi State and Chairman South-East Governors’ Forum, David Umahi, has on Monday threw in the towel, said governors in the zone have banned open grazing and movement of cows by foot into the zone.

Umahi made this known during APC stakeholder meeting held at the Christian Ecumenical Centre Abakaliki.

He then enjoined leaders to exhibit patriotism in their conduct to guarantee the unity of the region rather than playing politics with the security of the zone and nation.

Umahi said: “We are living in a dangerous time, without patriotism to our nation Nigeria, it is very difficult to have a peaceful time”

“Governors of South-East have been calling on our leaders to speak out on the security of the zone and unity of Nigeria. I read on paper where someone said he was giving Governors of South-East seven days to ban open grazing, the governors of South-East have banned open grazing and movement of cows by foot into South-East.

“In each of states of the South-East, we are managing ourselves well. What we discussed with the herdsmen is a system in place for a long time.”

Umahi further cautioned people of the zone against instigating crises in the country through the dissemination of fake videos alleging the killing of Fulanis by IPOB in the South-East.

“What our people must know is that security is not political, what is demanded of the leaders is to put up programs that favour the people and foster national unity,” he said.

Gov Umahi announced his support for the call to flush out criminal elements from forests across the nation to boost the security of the country.

“In our forests today, we have the kidnappers, herdsmen, cultists, all sorts of criminals, anybody staying in the forest is taking a risk, when we say that people should move out of the forests, it is for their safety and security, so I support that kidnappers, herdsmen, cultists, and bandits should be flushed out of our forests.”

Meanwhile, the governor officially flagged off the APC Revalidation and Registration Committee and charged the Caretaker Committees to ensure the successful conduct of the exercise.

“Let me thank our leaders for their commitment to the welfare of our party; Ebonyi State is complete and Ebonyi State is APC,” Umahi added

Earlier, the Acting Chairman of APC in the state, Chief Stanley Emegha, said the meeting was convened to find a way of upgrading the membership of the party in the state, calling on stakeholders to support the exercise to fully reintegrate the state to the next level.

“We have made it clear that Ebonyi is APC and the national will be expecting us to prove it, proving it is by us coming out and participating in the exercise massively, make whatever sacrifice to the betterment of the state because we must use the exercise to prove a point that Ebonyi State is APC and APC is Ebonyi State.”

In spite of the huge investment in the water sector by the government and international organisations, water scarcity has grown to become a perennial nightmare for residents of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital. This report x-rays the lives and experiences of residents in getting clean, potable and affordable water amidst the surge of COVID-19 cases in the state.

IPOB TO S'EAST GOVERNORS : YOU PROSCRIBED IPOB TO IMPRESS YOUR NORTHERN MASTERS, NOW THEY HAVE UNLEASHED TERRORISTS AGAINST YOUR VILLAGES

 

IPOB PRESS STATEMENT 

September 16, 2020 | The Biafra Times

The treacherous and  ignoble role of South East Governors, some self acclaimed Igbo political elite  and the Nnia Nwodo -led Ohanaeze Ndigbo in the proscription of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, and the subsequent invasion of the Afaraukwu Umuahia country home of our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on September 14, 2017 are enough lesson for traitors. It's a constant reminder of the Igbo adage that "when you kill your hero in internal squabble, during external fight you must remember him ".

Three years down the line, we want to ask these traitors:  How have  they and Igbo land  fared in the hands of the Fulani? The reward of treachery is shame and eternal regret! By conniving with the enemies to get rid of IPOB that is the only defence line of Biafra nation, these saboteurs have opened our land for constant attack and humiliation by Fulani terrorists, herdsmen and bandits.

First, in their shameful bid to appease and impress their Northern masters for political reward, these traitors outlawed IPOB, a peaceful movement, and paved the way for its eventual proscription as a terrorist organisation. Ever since then, how have they protected or defended Biafra land against incessant Fulani unprovoked attacks? To their shame, Igbo land and the entire Biafra territory have been rendered vulnerable as the enemies on total annihilation and conquest mission have turned it into slaughter ground. 

It was their treachery that gave the Nigerian Army the effrontery to raid the home of Nnamdi Kanu on September 14, 2020 under the guise of Operation Python Dance. Their mission  was to kill him at all cost but God thwarted their evil plans. 

Not done with the recent massacre of 21 unarmed  Biafrans at Emene by the wicked Nigeria security agents, the Army,  DSS and Police, have now resorted to house to house abduction of IPOB members and other Biafra agitators. The question is :Where are the treacherous  Igbo governors, political elite and Ohanaeze that proscribed? 

The secret slaughtering of our people in every part of Biafra land since 2015 has continued unabated  till date. We are  aware of the on-going house -to- house search by security operatives  designed to pick up and eliminate Biafrans in Igweocha, Enugu, Imo, Aba, Asaba and Ebonyi States. This is yet another unprovoked attack  by Fulani terrorists in Nigeria police and army uniforms since the August 23rd 2020  barbaric  killing of Igbo youths  in Emene,  Enugu State. 

Just last week at Ohafia in Abia State,  they abducted Mazi Okewu Agwu from his home and many others including  Mazi Samuel Arua Eme, Mazi Kalu Iroha Amogu, Mazi David Agwu and 12 others whose names are yet to be established as  at the time of this press statement.

 Fulani terrorist groups at different locations in Biafraland have been using their kinsmen in Nigeria security formations across the country to unleash different attacks on innocent citizens of Biafra. 

This continued state - sponsored attacks and secret murder of IPOB members  and Biafrans in general must stop! Let it be  on record therefore, that anyone -  man or woman, civilian or security agent, etc , directly or remotely  involved in killing IPOB member has a debt to pay  no matter how long it takes. 

We are monitoring and taking records of every single attack on our people and how Nigeria government and her security agencies abduct IPOB members and use chemicals and acid to murder many of our people in their custody to conceal evidence.  We are telling Nigeria government and her security operatives as well as Biafra traitors  that IPOB cannot be decimated contrary to their erroneous calculations, and wishful thinking. 

In case they have forgotten, IPOB is a global movement divinely ordained to  liberate Biafra and other tribes caged in this British   contraption called Nigeria. Our resolve to restore Biafra freedom and independence is of God Almighty (Chukwu Okike Abiama)  in Heaven, a task that must be accomplished very soon.

We still call upon US Embassy in Abuja, British High Commission in Abuja, the  Canadian Embassy , as well as the Governments of Australia, Israel, France, Germany and Russia  to prevail on the Nigerian government and its security operatives to stop their ongoing silent genocide against Biafra agitators. The world should not play blind eye to this atrocity and crime against humanity. 

 They must also prevail on  Nigeria Government to release our people abducted illegally, and also release those dead bodies they took away during the barbaric  attack on peaceful and unarmed citizens of Biafra in Emene Enugu State. Nigeria government and her partners in crime must understand that the incessant killings of Biafrans and their murderous tendencies against the peaceful and innocent citizens of Biafra will soon break Nigeria into pieces without remedy.

The latest attempt by the Nigeria government to blackmail IPOB and project it  as a terrorist organisation cannot fly. Their ridiculous and shameful claim that a nonviolent and unarmed group is responsible for the purported attack on heavily armed security agents in South East is untenable. How can an unarmed man attack fully armed security personnel  ? Doesn't it sound funny? 

Ordinarily we wouldn't have bothered to dignify these detractors with a response as we have since known their stock in trade, but for the sake of the gullible ones and some innocent minds. We want to, once again state here that there is no iota of truth in this fictitious claim. 

We equally want to sound a note of warning to everybody especially those who derive joy in  castigating IPOB to desist forthwith or brace up for the consequences of their blackmail. 

 Besides, they should know that the era of propaganda and cheap blackmail  is gone. We are ahead of their game.   Frivolous and concocted allegations designed to disparage IPOB can no longer sell. The world now knows better. IPOB's nonviolent ideology about the Biafra project is well known and cannot change. 

It's an irony that IPOB, outlawed in Nigeria as a 'terrorist group', freely operates in over 100 countries of the world. We hold our rallies and activities without molestation or intimidation in these countries because they know we are not terrorists, and don't intend to be. All we need is Biafra, our own country which has been in existence before Britain created Nigeria and unequally yoked us with Fulani that value cows above human lives. Marriage isn't by force. We are tired of this bondage and want a referendum to determine our fate. Simple!

Operation Amotekun: History and events prove IPOB is always right

January 11, 2020 | The Biafra Times

IPOB Press Release

We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great and indomitable leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu commend South West governors, elders, stakeholders and politicians for their doggedness and courage to protect their people and their region from the evil hands of Fulani terrorists herdsmen and Nigeria government jihadi soldiers- the systematic strategy and effort of the ruling Fulani cabal to continually provide financial and logistical support to Fulani terrorists and Islamic extremists in military and police uniforms to rampage and kill innocent citizens at will.

This is not the first time in recent weeks that our leader's position and approach has been vindicated by events and utterances from other ethnic groups within Nigeria. The inescapable truth remains that Bishop Kukah's commendable utterances about the Jihadi intent of the present regime in Nigeria and the formation of a Yoruba vigilante by OPC are all lines of reasoning and event consistently canvassed and championed by IPOB in the past. The fact remains that Nigeria as presently constituted is the greatest threat to life and peace.

The Yoruba decision and effort to launch Operation Amotekun security outfit just like our leader launched BSS in 2017 is most commendable. What we find horribly appalling however is that those who were at the forefront of misrepresenting and condemning our leader for having the vision and foresightedness to challenge Fulani terrorism in Nigeria are today praise-singing the introduction of Amotekun. Even the shamelessly treacherous Ohaneze Ndigbo and South East Governors Forum that actively connived with their Fulani masters to launch a deadly military invasion of Biafraland on the back of the launch of BSS are today openly praising Yoruba leaders for backing OPC's Amotekun project when they themselves heartlessly sold out IPOB for a pot of porridge.

Notwithstanding the barefaced envy and jealousy directed towards IPOB by the Efulefu political class and sections of uninformed talking heads, we IPOB are delighted that we continue to set the pace of radical thinking and social change within and outside Nigeria. IPOB wholeheartedly welcome Amotekun and say good morning to those who out of ignorance, poor sense of vision, lack of reasoning and self-consuming jealousy fought against the formation BSS. They should cover their faces in shame if they have any face left after this.

We believe the time has come for all those who ignorantly questioned the modus operadi of IPOB and the vision of Biafra liberation as boldly preached by our leader to tender an unreserved public apology. History and events have continued to vindicate IPOB and its methods. The time has come for every sensible person and ethnic group to swallow their shame and publicly acknowledge that IPOB is always right.

Now that South-West Governors and politicians have openly and commendably armed and supported OPC militants to defend Yorubaland isn't this a clear indication that the black market and thoughtless proscription of IPOB by Fulani government supported by Ohaneze Ndigbo, South-East Governors and Lagos/Abuja politicians only succeeded in making the entire Eastern region a fertile ground for Fulani Jihadi expansionism and impetus for Miyetti Allah terrorism and territorial expansion? IPOB remains the one and only movement psychologically designed and primed to defend the entire East against any aggression from Fulani terrorists. This too is an inescapable fact.

It is about time people acknowledged openly and without shame that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is always right.

We don't need your apology, IPOB tells South-East Govs

The Biafra Times | September 8, 2019

IPOB PRESS RELEASE 

Following the recent denial and subsequent refusal of South-East Governors to apologize or do the needful towards IPOB against a background of their incessant attacks, abduction, arrest, killings and proscription of unarmed peaceful Biafrans; before, during and after Operation Python Dance II in 2017, we the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) categorically state that we are not interested in any apology coming from those who have continued to shamelessly preside over the Fulanisation of their ancestral lands. They are weak and pathetic men who have sworn loyalty to their Fulani masters. These traitors and saboteurs are not leaders but instruments of Fulani incursion and agents of the age-old Fulani agenda of dipping the Koran in the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, most people are yet to understand the danger these people portend for our existence as a race.

At a time when Fulani governors are engaging murderers, rapists, kidnappers and Fulani killer herdsmen in dialogue to the extent of visiting them in their hideouts in forests, South-East Governors remain determined to fight a peaceful IPOB dedicated to safeguarding the Biafran homeland. What an irony!

A few days ago the residence of Dave Umahi was raided in Abuja by the same Fulani caliphate he is so slavishly serving for merely mouthing that movement of Fulani terror herdsmen will no longer be tolerated. That will teach him and others like him that treachery against ones own people never pays. For reading out an innocuous communique, he was targeted like a common criminal. A few days afterwards he was seen shamefully bowing down before the impostor Jubril like a naughty schoolboy in front of a headmaster. Their Fulani masters cannot and will never give them preferential treatment as they keep assuming. To the caliphate, these spineless cowards called South-East Governors will remain another set of tormented Nyamiri in office to them, to be used and dumped at will. The sooner these Efulefus realise this, the better for them.

We remain conscious of the complicity and duplicity of South-East Governors in the whole Operation Python Dance debacle and will hold them accountable at the right time. We are aware of their secret dealings with this Fulani Government of Nigeria to enslave our people, a task we assure them can never be accomplished as long as IPOB exists.

We are waiting for them to set foot abroad or appear in public anywhere outside Nigeria then they will know how upset we are. It is demeaning for IPOB to be exchanging words with slaves and traitors working for an external enemy. Enugu and Ebonyi would have fallen to the Fulani if not for IPOB. South-East Governors are weak, wretched and incapable of standing up to their caliphate masters. Only IPOB can restore the dignity and lost honour of our people.

Convene a Meeting and Invite Us for Dialogue - South-East Govs tell IPOB

September 7, 2019 | The Biafra Times

Raphael Ede

Enugu - South-East governors have said they are ready to engage in dialogue with the Indigenous People of Biafra to resolve their differences.

IPOB had threatened to attack  South-East governors and other Igbo leaders outside the country after beating former  Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, in Germany for allegedly working their interest.

The Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum, Engr. David Umahi, told our correspondent on  Thursday that they never proscribed IPOB, but rather they banned their activities in the region.

The Ebonyi State governor, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary,  Emma Uzo, asked IPOB to convene a meeting and invite the governors for discussions.

He said, “IPOB are our children. They are our brothers and sisters. They fight for their fight on the pages of newspapers and social media, and it does not help. The best thing is for all of us to sit down and talk. The governors are ready to speak with them.

“They should have a way of coming home or convene a meeting and the governors will attend anywhere they want. Let us sit down and discuss it. And they should know that the governors did not proscribe them, they lack constitutional powers to proscribed them. They only banned  their activities in the region where they have jurisdiction.”

IPOB on Wednesday through  Aloy Ejimakor, counsel for Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB,  wrote to the governors, giving conditions for peace to reign.

READ ALSO: Poem: The Sun of Black Nations ….. dedicated to Nnamdi Kanu

IPOB in the letter, titled ‘Operation Python Dance: An Open Letter To South-East Governors’,  demanded  “immediate and unconditional de-proscription of IPOB and delisting it as a terrorist organisation. A truth and reconciliation commission on the Python Dance lethal military operations of September 2017.”

The group added, “A public apology for the extrajudicial killing of IPOB members and desecration of the palace of an Igbo traditional ruler at Afaraukwu, Abia State. A genuine dialogue with IPOB on its referendum demand for the restoration of Biafra and discontinuance of the ongoing prosecution of IPOB members and forbearance of any future arrests and prosecutions.”

Umahi said, “Why can’t they channel their grievances straight to the Federal Government? So, that demand is dead on arrival. It is not the  governors that will  apologise to them but rather they should apologise to the governors and Ndigbo.”

On whether they will lift the ban on  IPOB activities in the zone,  Umahi said the issue would be discussed at the meeting (convened by IPOB).

Governor Umahi and his wild accusation against IPOB

By Dave O. Umahi | For Biafra Writers

January 10, 2019

Dave Umahi, the current governor of Ebonyi state, shocked Biafrans few days ago. This was as a result of a viral news report, where the governor claimed that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) – which is the umbrella body of Biafrans agitating for a free independent state – has plans to kidnap him and other governors of the Southeast region.

The governor who also doubles as the Chairman South East governors’ forum reportedly made the claim while calling on the Nigerian Army to be neutral, apolitical, and avoid every form of interference into the upcoming 2019 general elections in the country.

Meanwhile, the irony in the unfounded and baseless claim of the Fulani-enslaved governor is rather than what is alleged, the Biafrans have been and continued to be at the receiving end of kidnappings, enforced disappearances, and killings at the hands of the Nigerian Army, usually instigated by these so-called governors.

The army first went to Abiriba in Abia State to abduct a known IPOB member, Justice Udeh, in what eyewitness accounts described as “commando style” operation. Udeh, we gathered, was a gentle and peaceful Biafran who was not just happy with the way Biafrans are being treated in Nigeria. Biafra Writers’ investigation further revealed that information leading to the abduction of Ude was from the State Deputy Governor, Ude Oko Chukwu. Up till the time of going to press, the whereabouts of Ude is still unknown. To make matters worse, as IPOB leaders had said, he had not been brought to court, which is an abridgement of his rights and the legal requirements according to the Nigerian law.

The abuction of Ude was followed (much in the same pattern) by that of Emma Chigbo from Abakpa Nike, in Enugu, Enugu State. To many Biafrans who spoke on the matter, it was more like pouring salt to injury for Umahi and his fellow Nigerian governors in Biafraland to organize illegal abduction of Biafrans and then turn around to accuse them of “planning to kidnap them.”

John Ukachi(not his real name), who is a Biafran leader within Enugu metropolis, told our correspondent that Umahi and his fellow governors were just looking for excuses to justify their wicked plans against Biafra agitators who have remained resolute and refused to either compromise or give up their cause. He explained that they(the governors) were frightened.

Part of his words read: “The fact is that these governors and their fellow Nigerian politicians operating in Biafraland are afraid that the truth will come to the knowledge of the world that Biafrans truly want out of Nigeria.

“You know we are campaigning for the boycott of the elections, and by the way IPOB has saturated the land with our massive and convincing campaigns, they are outraged and frightened. That is why they are inviting the Nigerian Army of occupation to come and massacre our people to submission so that our campaigns will stop.

“Can you believe it, that people who call themselves our brothers have beckoned on foreigners to come to our land to abduct their people, kill them, and then concoct lies to cover their tracks? But that’s what is happening.”

Ukachi called on world leaders and people of conscience all over the world to consider the Umahi accusation from the backdrop of an IPOB that has never been violent all these years and has refused to denounce the struggle for an independent Biafra state.

He added that one fact the world should not ignore is that IPOB has neither killed anybody nor destroyed anything – either belonging to government or individuals – since it burst into world’s consciousness.

However, looking at the issue from a different perspective, IPOB lawyer, Uche Ejiofor said what was happening was early manifestation of a grand design to rig the Nigerian election and divert attention from their inability or unwillingness to confront Boko Haram by the government. He said there was no justification for deploying the military in peaceful Biafra, while the police are sent to confront Boko Haram that has been ravaging the North.

IPOB blast David Umahi and other Igbo governors, over deceitful and perverse statement

IPOB Press Statement|The Biafra Times 

January 7, 2019

The leadership and family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) condemn in its entirety, the frivolous, unsubstantiated and perverse statement from David Umahi of Ebonyi State against a movement like IPOB. It appears anytime a quisling wants to renew his slave status with his northern masters he or she singles out IPOB for verbal assault. We consider the  statement credited to Umahi as symptomatic of the shameful and complicit role  these Igbo governors have continued to play in the death of unarmed Biafrans.

Their stock in trade is treachery and betrayal but unfortunately for them we IPOB will match them every step of the way until their conniving treacherous scheme is brought to an end.

Isn’t it sad that Dave Umahi and his fellow quislings never foresaw Fulani herdsmen invasion of our land but are quick to invite the army to occupy our land and kill us Biafrans as usual. Why have they till date never called for the army to attack a violent Fulani group attacking every community in Biafraland but they are always in the habit of wanting the death of we IPOB. Dave Umahi and his cohorts should pray very hard that no Biafran life is lost during this their latest phase of Operation Python Dance of Shame 3 against innocent  Biafrans.


Fulani slaves parading themselves as Igbo governors have perfected plan to use soldiers deployed to the south east to abduct, arrest and preferably kill top IPOB leaders in Biafraland or anybody suspected to be IPOB member because of IPOB's resolve to boycott next month’s presidential elections.

People must ask Umahi and co including Abuja politicians how many governors and politicians in other regions of Nigeria hosted this invading army with glee the way Dave Umahi and co did a few days ago in Abakaliki? Was it not announced that this latest round of Operation Python Dance was nationwide. How come it’s only Igbo governors that is welcoming them with open arms? This question must be asked by every intelligent person. If nothing is done to checkmate the rabid treachery of Igbo governors, we shall continue to suffer the consequences for the next 70 years.

Boko Haram is ravaging the north where this same brave army has been humiliated countless times but Igbo governors slavishly  invited them into our land to fight IPOB instead. Years of betrayal and the sacrilegious act committed by Igbo governors and Ohaneze against their people through Operation Python Dance is what will kill them not IPOB. Their Fulani masters cannot save them. This crop of Igbo governors will be recorded in history as the worst of the very worst.

Biafra: VOBS endorses proscription of Ohanaeze, S’East govs, election boycott

The Biafra Times | November 3, 2018

Biafran students under the umbrella body of Voice of Biafran Students (VOBS), recently converged in Anambra State for her routine general meeting. This was held through the instrumentality of joint Coordinatorship of Federal Polytechnic Oko, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu Universities.

Sequel to the incessant acts , f sabotage and impertinence of the Ohaneze Ndigbo socio-cultural group and their fellow accomplices in the Southeast governors towards the Biafra restoration effort of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide, under the principal command of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, we do hereby take some far-reaching decisions as stakeholders in Biafraland. The Student Wing of IPOB, standing on the platform of Voice of Biafran Students (VOBS) unanimously reached a consensus in our last meeting held on Tuesday 30th and Wednesday 31st October 2018, at Oko in Anambra State, to firmly support in no mistakable terms, the deserved proscription of Ohaneze Ndigbo socio-cultural group and the Southeast governors for the following reasons:

(1) The Ohaneze Ndigbo and the Southeast governors woefully failed to live up to the creed of proper representation cum interests of the Biafran indigenous people, especially the Igbos.

(2) These two bodies (Ohaneze Ndigbo and Southeast governors), shamelessly colluded with some compromised Igbo elders/politicians, to illegally proscribe the activities of the IPOB, thereby providing an enabling ground for the Nigerian government to label IPOB, a terrorist organization.

(3) They jointly orchestrated the Nigerian military invasion of Biafraland, wherein hundreds of Biafrans were gruesomely murdered via the ill-conceived military expedition tagged Operation Python Dance II. The residence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the supreme leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide, at Afara-ukwu Ibeku in Umuahia, was murderously raided, on the 14th of September 2017, precipitating the death of armless, innocent Biafrans and colossal destruction of properties. This despicable act of state-sponsored terrorism will forever remain indelible in the memories of Biafra generations.

(4) The Ohaneze Ndigbo and the Southeast governors have continuously encouraged and facilitated the torture, humiliation, marginalization, massacre and other shades of degrading treatments against the people of Biafra by the Nigerian government.

(5) They have equally exhibited extreme dishonesty and betrayal to the Igbo nation particularly and Biafrans generally, towards the Biafra restoration struggle cum regional development.

(6) The Ohaneze Ndigbo socio-cultural group since it's inception has in no tangible way, helped in the promotion of any developmental program for the progress and betterment of the society.

(7) Since the inception of the fictitious democratic governance in the contraption called Nigeria as bequeathed to her by the military, the Southeast governors especially this present crop, have abysmally and shamelessly done nothing beneficial to help alleviate the sufferings of the Biafran people in this "life-strangulating union" called Nigeria.

(8) These self-serving political misfits have blatantly kept mute over the harsh and bizarre menace of the marauding Fulani killer herdsmen across Biafraland but rather, have persistently countered the rightful and peaceful protests of Biafrans seeking self-determination.

We, therefore, want to unequivocally state here that the Ohaneze Ndigbo with their Southeast governors partners-in-crime have earnestly outlived their jaundiced usefulness amongst decent humans. We hereby use this medium to advise these people to discard the illusion about the purported Nigeria Restructuring Mantra and the planned 2019 General Elections in the entire Biafraland. Biafran students are seriously mobilising for a total boycott of not just the election campaigns but the election proper.

We are at this juncture, making it obviously clear to them and the entire global community, that we have taken the bull by the horns, to employ all veritable and legitimate means that will better our tomorrow. We can no longer tolerate the evil wishes of these crass egocentric, blind and rapacious leaders of defunct Nigerian State.

As a people, wevare only remembered during electioneering seasons for campaigns (creating malicious online media platforms for mobilization), just for the purposes of servicing their insatiable political greed at our detriment. Despite the enormous time allowed them for repentance, they have defiantly continued to exhibit cluelessness and impudence.

The Biafran Students especially in Biafraland, have come to the realization that we are indisputably the hope of the nation of Biafra and therefore, the earlier we meaningfully, beneficially and collectively rechannel our intellectualism, the better for us all. We hereby in resoluteness and in one voice, say No to Ohaneze Ndigbo, No to Southeast Governors, No to Nigeria and No to her Elections in the entire Biafran territories. We strongly and affirmatively stand in solidarity with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide, we stand with the supreme leader of the IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. On anything election organized by Nigeria, we say No to in Biafraland until referendum is judiciously conducted for Biafrans.

Nnamdi Kanu: Okezie Ikpeazu is a coward, criminal and congenital liar, complicit to the plot to assassinate Kanu - IPOB

IPOB Press Statement, Published on | The Biafra Times

October 12, 2018

We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) find it beneath contempt that a failed governor and a stooge of the northern cabal in the person of Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu will callously seek to endear himself to the traumatised Afaraukwu community by mouthing what amounts to gibberish before a rented crowd of hungry individuals as part of his efforts to get re-elected in 2019. Not only is Okezie Ikpeazu a congenital liar and coward, he is criminal in receipt of stolen goods from the palace of Eze Israel Okwu Kanu. IPOB Intelligence Unit is in receipt of incontrovertible photo and video evidence of Ikpeazu receiving items stolen from Eze Kanu’s Palace by the Nigerian military. We are waiting for commencement of election campaigns to release them for maximum impact.

Okezie Ikpeazu, Dave Umahi, Willie Obiano, Nnia Nwodo and others are the prime instigators of Operation Python Dance which they have never denied. They know where the military kept Eze Israel Kanu and Ugoeze Sally Kanu, to pretend otherwise is an exercise in futility. At the appropriate time all those responsible for the military invasion of Afaraukwu and the loss of 28 IPOB family members will be held to account. It is not a question of if but when. Feigning ignorance or knowledge of the invasion of the 14 September 2017 shows what a dubious criminal Okezie Ikpeazu is.

South East Governors Forum in collaboration with Ohaneze Ndigbo and a few others based in Lagos/Abuja, worked hand-in-hand with Fulani caliphate to plot the assassination of Nnamdi Kanu and his parents. This is a fact! Okezie Ikpeazu thinks that a few weasel words and paltry 2 Million Naira shared amongst impoverished hungry people presented to him at the Banquel Hall of Abia State government house, will eradicate the sacrilegious invasion of the home of an Igbo traditional ruler.

Teachers and other civil servants in Abia State are owed upwards of two years salary with no hope in sight of when they are likely to get paid but Okezie Ikpeazu is busy distributing money in the hope of buying the conscience of the people. Such gimmick may have worked in the past but not in this era of IPOB. Okezie Ikpeazu is a one term governor because he is a traitor to the people of Biafra in general and Abia in particular.

No amount of stomach infrastructure initiative, like this one organised for him by a certain Udochukwu Ogbonna an indigene or Isiama Afaraukwu, who is unsurprisingly an Abia civil servant- hopefully seeking to secure his unpaid salary, will save him. INEC’s world famous rigging antics will not save him either because IPOB High Command has determined that all those that had in a hand in bringing Operation Python Dance to Biafraland will pay a heavy price for their betrayal. Any person, persons or political party investing in Okezie Ikpeazu to be re-elected governor of Abia State is not only mistaken and wasting their resources but naive to the point of stupidity.

Okezie Ikpeazu cannot superintend the mass killings of Biafrans in Abia State and expect to be returned to power. Have we forgotten Amnesty International report on the massacre of civilians at National High School Aba? It was the same Okezie Ikpeazu that oversaw the cold blooded execution of those asking for their  freeeom. The household of Okezie Ikpeazu and their generations unborn will be held accountable in life and death for the atrocities Okezie Ikpeazu used Fulani soldiers to commit in our land. It will be a monumental insult and a desecration of the memory of the dear departed for Okezie Ikpeazu to return as Abia State governor in 2019, his hands are soiled with the blood of the innocent. The same fate applies to all those implicated in Operation Python Dance. Current Igbo governors are unrepentant Fulani slaves and their continued stay in power will represent a formidable obstacle on our road to freedom. They cannot return in 2019 no matter what Fulani controlled INEC does.

If Fulani soldiers under the cover of Nigerian Army can invade Biafraland, kill, torture and detain innocent people including our mothers with such impunity, then the title of Chief Security Officer of the State is lost on these quislings occupying government houses in the east. The likes of Okezie Ikpeazu and Dave Umahi exist to please the northern caliphate even it means poisoning all Igbos to death in the process. All they care about is exalted political office and unfettered access to money allocated to their state. Their time has come to an end. 14 September 2017 was the day Okezie Ikpeazu murdered sleep. Those offering what amounts to mere sycophantic value to his campaign for re-election are doing so at their own risk. IPOB and Kanu family cannot be bought with money or material, Biafra freedom is the ultimate.

Proscription of Ohanaeze, S’East Govs, a vote of no confidence by Biafrans

By Akubumma Princewill | For Biafra Writers

September 26, 2018

In many democratic societies across the globe, government functionaries, representatives and leaders of the people are usually expected to put the affairs of the people they are representing at the forefront before anything else. The general interest of the people is always considered while other motives are just secondary.

And in a federal system of government such as the one practiced in Nigeria (quote and unquote), there are expected to be some representatives of various federating units to whom the people unanimously gave their mandates to be represented at the centre for the fair distribution of whatever resources there is for the people they are representing for the sole purpose of upholding the federal character which centres on equity, fairness, justice and inclusiveness.

But unfortunately, these leaders from southeastern Nigeria has for so long abandoned the people they are meant to represent and only kept focusing on themselves, their families and cronies, leaving their people to keep wallowing in abject rejection, destitution and reckless abandon because they have sold their souls to the devil by signing the fraud documents through which they have boxed themselves into a dangerous corner of perpetual slavery and servitude to the northern caliphates who believes and constantly confesses that they are born to rule while the rest of the federating (conquered) units in Nigeria are born to be ruled.

READ ALSO: We Proscribed Ohanaeze-Ndigbo for working against the interest of the masses - IPOB

These dangerous unrepentant steps taken by these southeast leaders has rendered them totally insignificant and irrelevant in the political scene of the country such that before they are allowed to take up any political post in the Nigerian polity, they must first sought for the blessings and/or endorsement of the Sokoto caliphate which includes swearing an allegiance, obligation and an oath of commitment to always abide with the directions of the northern slave masters even when such directions are detrimental to the well-being of the people they are representing, they won’t care provided they are allowed to uphold their political positions which is of utmost importance to them.

To say the least, the feudal Lords from the northern caliphates has in countless occasions sounded it clear that they owned Nigeria, the resources therein and  the sole right to chose who occupies the presidential seat which they have constantly used as bait to enforce the franchises of the southeastern people by always promising our so-called southern leaders with the elusive presidential post which should have been a clear action expected to come from the national constitution and not from some rogues who parades themselves as the owners of the federation.

These impunity perpetrated by these northern caliphates, wholeheartedly and cowardly accepted by our so-called southeastern leaders has forced the younger generation to ask certain questions such as; ‘where is the federal character principle?’ ‘Is it the duty of some people from any unit of the federation to decide and select who occupies the presidency irrespective of what the constitution says?’

These are the questions that the younger generation from southeastern Nigeria have been asking their leaders without providing answers to any of them for a long time.

As if that was not enough, these same selfish southeastern leaders have constantly resorted to betraying and sabotaging every good move taken by their people to liberate themselves. They connive with the northern caliphate and their monstrous Fulani-dominated Army and other security operatives to unleash unprovoked terror, killings et al, against the people they claim to represent. They instigate and give nod to the coldblooded massacre of our youths for merely raising their voices to ask questions through peaceful protests across the region against the bad representation and gross marginalization they have been subjected to for a very long time.

READ ALSO: Atonement: IPOB Great Coal Camp celebrates success, lauds leadership, media’s efforts

Suffice me to say that in other regions in Nigeria, where many radical youths has in recent times committed atrocities capable of disintegrating the country overnight, yet, their northern and western leaders pardoned and accommodated them and never came out to openly condemn their youths unlike their southeastern counterparts who even went to the extreme of demanding for the heads of their youths to be brought on a plate.

This level of treachery, betrayal and sabotage which has not been recorded amongst any leaders of a people in any part of the world except for these crop of crooked and unscrupulous individuals parading themselves as leaders and representatives of the people are among the numerous reasons behind the vote of no confidence passed on them by the younger generation who has determined to take their destinies in their own hands and free themselves from perpetual slavery in order to return justice, dignity and decency to their society and above all, to restore their nation which was forcibly annexed from their ancestors.

Biafra: IPOB proscribes Ohanaeze, South East governors, bans group activities in the East"

September 19, 2018

IPOB Press Statement |Published on The Biafra Times 

By virtue of the overwhelming compliance with the 14th of September 2018 Sit-At-Home order issued by IPOB and the mandate conferred therein as the authentic representative of the people of the east, we the Indigenous People of Biafra do hereby declare the proscription of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and all other gatherings of saboteurs and collaborators operating within Biafra. In keeping with the spirit of this declaration, we warn that anybody or group of persons working with Nnia Nwodo led Ohaneze Ndigbo or South East Governors Forum is doing so at their own risk. These two groups (Ohaneze & South East governors) do not represent the people of the east and lack the popular mandate to do so. Events of September 14, is confirmation that our people have rejected their politics of acquiescence, servitude and slavery.          
                        

                           
Ohaneze Ndigbo was formed in 1976 to destabilize the progressive established order under the leadership of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe in the run up to 1979 democratic rule. The few surviving founding members of Ohanaeze will attest to this undisputed fact. To weaken the post war cohesion that still existed among the people of the east, Fulani caliphate gathered their Igbo agents together to destroy the east from within. With what Ohaneze has become in recent times, there is little doubt that our oppressors succeeded in holding us down through their agents in Ohaneze and governor's lodges.

Contrary to public perception, Ohaneze Ndigbo is not a creation of Igbo people but rather is an assemblage of high profile traitors during the war, with the exception of Dr. Akanu Ibiam. It was a group engineered by Arewa north to provide the east with false leadership. From inception, Ohaneze Ndigbo has been answerable to Arewa North not to the people of the east. No Ohaneze Ndigbo leader can emerge without the blessing of the northern ruling class.

It was this same Ohaneze Ndigbo that took money from their Northern masters to allow three Igbo speaking local governments from Ebonyi to be carved into Benue State. The same Ohaneze Sat and did nothing as Obigbo, Egbema and the rest of Igbo speaking people were gerrymandered into Rivers State and Delta State to be categorised as South South. They abandoned Igboakiri (Igbanke) to Ogbemudia and his Northern masters, that made an Igbo territory part of Edo State. They betrayed Anioma people by repeatedly refusing to fight for their absorption into the core Igbo family. Today we have families in Egbema divided along state lines. Some people in the same family, with the same surname find themselves in two distinct geo-political zones. Some are South East the other is Niger Delta. This is an unpardonable crime by Ohaneze Ndigbo against the land and the people.

With over 90 per cent compliance to the IPOB sit-at-home order, including Enugu and Ebonyi State as evidenced by photos obtained from the server of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, it has been confirmed beyond every reasonable doubt that all parts of Biafraland complied with the order. By so doing, Biafrans conferred a historic and unprecedented mandate on IPOB to pilot the affairs of the Eastern Region.

All efforts by South East governors to use financial inducement and media misinformation to fool the people into thinking some parts of Biafra did not comply with the order has been laid bare by secret photos of empty Enugu streets taken by NAN which they conspiratorially failed to publish. The existence of these NAN photos confirms what we have always known, that South East governors decided to wage media war to discredit a successful exercise once it dawned on them that IPOB command the loyalty and mandate of the people.

Nothing under sun shall remain concealed forever. News Agency of Nigeria must be compelled to publish all pictures it took of northern Biafran territories on the morning of September 14, 2018. If compliance was not 100% as they claim, why have they refused to officially publish their own pictures? If they have any shred of credibility left, News Agency of Nigeria should state if any of the pictures published alongside this press release is not part of the many pictures they took of empty Enugu streets on the mid-morning of September 14?

In as much as the the people of the east is concerned, Ohaneze Ndigbo no longer exist, but only on paper. Henceforth any public gathering organised by them will be disrupted. The era of traitors and collaborators presiding over the affairs of the people of the east has come to an end.

September 14 General Strike: The Saboteurs,Traitors and Double Agents

By Chuba Ebenezer | For Biafra Writers

September 13, 2018

On the 14 September 2018, Biafrans at home and Biafrans living in other parts of Nigeria will be observing a general strike, otherwise called sit at home, to mourn and commemorate the one year anniversary of the massacre of the members of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) by the Islamic Nigerian soldiers, who raided the home of IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in Isiama Afara Ukwu in Umuahia province, southeast Nigeria.

Friday 14th September will mark 12 awful months since this immoral, illegal and illegitimate invasion of the home of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), ever since then neither Nnamdi Kanu nor his parents have been found. Every effort to ascertain the whereabouts of the missing freedom fighter and his parents from the Nigerian government, have been met with a heavy clampdown by the Nigeria government forces. On August 17, 2018, some Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) women who staged a peaceful demonstration on the whereabouts, of the IPOB leader were tear-gassed, arrested, imprisoned, humiliated, dehumanized, degraded, and denied access to medical care, family and friends visits.

It is going to be a day of appraisal of the horrific roles played by some perverse and power drunk individuals among us, in aiding and abetting this brutal murder and extermination of our people The singular and sundry roles played by the Igbo sociocultural organization, Ohanaeze, Southeast Governors, Traditional rulers, Lagos and Abuja based politicians of Igbo extraction etc.

READ ALSO: September 14, General Strike: We Make Haste To Insist That Our General Strike Action Must Go On Without Hitches

The Traitors, Saboteurs and Double agents are a group of people who have conspired and confederated to scuttle Biafrans quest for liberty, freedom and emancipation from oppression and marginalization. For a morsel of porridge, from the feudal lords and slave masters up north, they have sworn to destroy the collective will and aspiration of the Biafrans. For political patronage and relevance, for economic and social reward, they have betrayed their sons, daughters, brothers, sisters and the nation of Biafra; they gave them over to the sword and slaughter for material gain.

We shall also remember the conspicuous silence of the world on the human rights abuses, injustices, torture, brutality, barbarism and death, visited on the Indigenous people of Biafra, by the  Islamic jihadi security forces in Nigeria. The threat to our lives and our very existence as a people is unprecedented in the history of mankind .

Our demand for referendum is neither strange nor peculiar, allow us to discuss and determine our future and the future of our unborn children.

September 14 General Strike: Biafra Saboteurs Day is suddenly upon Nigeria

By Andy Sil | For Biafra Writers

September 13, 2018

All Hail great Biafra!

Suddenly, Biafra Saboteurs day is upon us, and Nigerians – young and old – are in panic.
Dear brethren (comrades), with much respect to the spirit of the departed, we wish to remind you “our Biafran warriors” in all of Biafraland; and in diaspora, that our resolve to mourn and accord special respect to the spirit of our departed comrades remains unchanged. On Friday, September 14, 2018, we will stay at home (not going outdoors) to do just that.

That Friday (tomorrow), all markets, Banks, Hotels, Schools, and all transportation businesses shall be shut down, till 6:00 pm. IPOB call it “General Strike”, or as some other people call it “Sit in your homes”. Please, we do not want to lose any Biafran to the murderous Nigerian occupation forces (Army, Navy, Airforce, Police, etc.) that would be prowling around on the day.
Their demon-possessed leaders, like the Commissioners of Police in all the states in Biafraland (both in the so-called South-south or South-east), are in real panic; and they are looking for Biafran blood to appease their demons.

If you sit in your homes that day, nothing will happen to you. So, please, please, and please again, do all your shopping this Thursday, September 13. If you truly want to quicken your freedom, stay at home on that day. Nigerian army has come to kill with “Operation Python Dance 3”. Stay off the roads and you will be safe.

READ ALSO: September 14, General Strike: We Make Haste To Insist That Our General Strike Action Must Go On Without Hitches

As we mourn our fallen comrades, who some Igbo-Biafran saboteurs connived with the enemies to kill, do not forget who the saboteurs are. Among them are John Nnia Nwodo, Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, Orji Uzor Kalu, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Charles Soludo, Ebitu Ukaiwe, and Chris Ngige. Do not forget also: Peter Obi, Joe Igbokwe, Kenneth Okonkwo, Andy Uba, T.A Orji, Chief Guy Ikoku, Eze Eberechi Dick, and the five eastern States governors. Of course, the five governors are Okezie Ikpeazu, Dave Umahi, Rochas Okorocha, Willie Obiano, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
These are the Igbo efulefus who reduced themselves to articilés of NO commercial value in Nigeria.
Brethren, (Biafrans), as we mourn for the repose of the souls of our gallant departed comrades, whose lives were snuffed out by all these aforementioned evil men, we must not forget IPOB slogan: “Freedom For All”.

 IPOB high command has called for cessation of hostilities against Deeper life Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, who coincidentally is having a church program same day from 6:00pm. IPOB has no grouse with deeper life church its leadership or any faith at all in Nigeria or anywhere in the world. IPOB General Strike ends at 6:00 pm on the date. We want to thank all IPOB members in all Biafraland for their dedication, resoluteness and understanding. Through your commitment, Nigeria’s evil rulers now know that Biafra cannot be wished away.

Lastly, may I use this opportunity to thank and greet our dear mothers in all Biafraland for their serious evangelism all over Biafraland. Okorocha has lost the battle. Rochas Okorocha thought he could cow our dear mothers into submission, but he did not know he was giving them fuel for their fire. Now that fire is engulfing the whole Biafraland, and Nigerian rulers are in serious panic.
The dexterity of our mothers is good testimony that there is no giving up on Biafra. To us all, it is a case of “No retreat, No surrender”. We must continue to demand for the release of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his parents wherever Nigerian evil General, Mohammadu Buhari, is keeping them. We must not fail to call on the international community to lend their voices to this cause.
