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.

The Fulani Game Of Conquests: A Fact Beyond The Comprehension Of Our Enslaved Eastern Leaders

The Biafra Times | March 31, 2018

By Eluwa Chidiebere Chinazu

Yes, it is only a foolish man that will claim a moribund situation to be a comfortable condition. The height of carnage and/or mayhem the Fulani ethnic group has meted on the old Eastern region, otherwise regarded as Biafra, is unprecedented in history. This, without doubt, has brought dysphoria to the land, where everyone now lays at wake in Biafra land, holding their horses for their next pitiful melancholic shortcomings.

The hurricane(Fulani herdsmen whom are the army of conquest) is here with its rain, lightning and thunder, and the so-called elders, elites and governors of the land are busy contending over political posts. It's now very clear to the people that politics is metaphorically a bone thrown out to their leaders by the people behind the hurricane, to confuse and trick them into not knowing their secret plan, so as to proffer a feathered bed for their hurricane. When an elder is engaged in the game of riding a tyre which is meant for children, then the kids will deny him the respect he deserves as an elderly person.

Over the years, those who have looked down upon history and its efficiency in life, have never ceased to pay the price of their ordeals. If people don't learn from history, I wonder what else they will learn from. It is mathematically and naturally admitted that if you keep on doing the same thing in the same way in life, you will end up getting the same result. So also it is when people replicate the mistake of others in history. This brings us to the simple fact that the Fulani society are not a people to be given free access to live in your land. If you do, you will still end up like those people that welcomed them in history. Reason being that the people that mistakenly accommodated the Fulani people in the past were overthrown by the Fulani people. History recorded that the Fulani folks took up arms and fought for a Fulani leader to overthrow the original people inhabiting the land.

In the 1600s, the influx of Fulani pastoralists otherwise known as Fulani Herdsmen from Macina, Mali, who are nomadic in nature, changed the story and fabric of the Fouta society who are mainly the present day people of Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Senegal and Sierra Leone. Today, the original owners of these lands are not seen because after conquering them, the Fulani people sold many of them to their Arab brothers as slaves while some remained under the oppressive feudal system of the Fulanis.

The first Fulani Jihad was in Fouta Jallon, a part of Futa society. The Fouta Jallon are the people of Guinea, Guinea Bissau. How they were conquered is a wise and necessary question that should be asked in this perilous time. First, their pastorals (Fulani Herdsmen) came in smaller numbers with their cattle and later in large numbers. They came in the guise of feeding their cattle. After Fulani herders, the Fulani clerics followed. They were referred to as the Ulamas. In 1726, they elected Ibrahim Musa as their leader in that part of the land they were occupying and gave him the title Al-Imam which means leader of the Muslim community. After his election as the Al-Imam, he proclaimed a "Jihad(war to conquer)" against the people of the land. At that time, he enlisted the Fulani herdsmen as his soldiers in the Jihad. After his death, the new Al-Imam called Ibrahim Sori completed the Jihad in 1776. After conquering the Fouta Jallon, they started selling the people as slaves. That was when the slave castle at Goree Island also known as the "Point of No Return'' was built.

Fouta Toro was the next people they conquered because it was closer to Fouta Jallon, all in the same Futa society. Fouta Toro is the present day Senegal. They went there as Fulani herdsmen (pastorals) feeding their cattle. After the herdsmen, their clerics migrated in earnest. When they settled, they elected Sulaiman Bal who was a Fulani herdsman as their Al-Imam. In 1776, Sulayman Bal launched a jihad (war to conquer) against the people of the land. Just like Ibrahim Musa, he also enlisted the Fulani herdsmen into his army. The people of Fouta Toro were overthrown and replaced with a new aristocracy of Fulani leaders.

Trarza was another land to be conquered by the Fulani invaders. Trarza is in the present day Mauritania in Africa. After Suleiman Bal completed its cruel conquest in Fouta Toro(Senegal), he died while trying to conquer Trarza. His successor as Al-Imam by name Al-Qadir, completed the conquest for their people with the epic aid of the same Fulani herdsmen.

Next on their list of conquest is the Hausa land in Nigeria. The same Fulani herdsmen came in the guise of rearing cattle. They made one of their kinsmen, Uthman Dan Fodio, their Al-Imam. Dan Fodio instituted Fulani leaders in all Hausa ancestral homeland after conquering them. Some of the leaders were Moyijo at Kebbi, Mohammadu Namoda at Zamfara, Salihu and Mohammadu Dabo at Kano, etc. With such great conquest, Dan Fodio was honoured with the title of "Sarkin Musulmi'' meaning leader of the faithfuls. Fulani herdsmen were his disguised foot soldiers as well.

In Ilorin, Kwara State, the Yorubas, out of fear of Fulani herdsmen, brought about the unholy invasion of the Fulanis into Ilorin and appointed Alimi, who was referred to as a Fulani tenant in Ilorin, as the cleric of the province. Thereafter, the Fulani terrorists slaughtered the Yorubas and installed an Emir(Ruler) in Ilorin in the person of Abdulsalami who was Alimi's son in 1831. Afonja descendants who are the present day part of Yoruba land unceremoniously lost their land out of fear. That was Yoruba inherent cowardice in full display.

These conquered people were relegated to second-class citizens. The Fulanis were hostile to the people they conquered and their lands were taken away from them by compulsion. Many of these conquered people were sold as slaves to Arabic countries while many were maintained as slaves among the Fulanis. This was their way of life, in other words, it is traditional to them. This was evident when Prof. Umar Labdo Muhammad of the faculty of humanity, Northwest University, Kano claimed that Benue state belongs to the Fulani by right of conquest.

They tried to conquer the Eastern region in the past but could not succeed. Now, they have grown wings strong enough to achieve that. As it stands now, Britain is trying to recolonise Africa through the help of the Islamic countries in Africa. Many other world superpowers are also in the pipeline to recolonise Africa because of Africa's weakness. Nigeria is arguably the giant of Africa, and any world power that wins Nigeria has won Africa and may eventually overthrow America as the world power.

Let America not fool themselves. Nigeria, as ruled by the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy, can never be a natural ally to America. When the time comes, they will abandon America to support their Muslim brothers. America should be wise to make timely but necessary moves to save themselves. The best thing is to divide Nigeria without further delays and align with Biafrans who are natural allies to America and Israel. Failure to heed to this unprecedented and unparalleled advice would be disastrous to them.

To the old Eastern region, if you keep on wallowing in this outcast and pariah names called South-south, Niger Delta, the hurricane will devour us all. We must acknowledge our ancestral name, Biafra, from the old Nri Kingdom known as the Eastern region of Nigeria by the colonialists. In unity, we shall overcome this evil once again.

Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, The Best Thing That Happened To Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria

Published By The Biafra Times | Wednesday, March 28, 2018

Why Nigerians and Africa at large need to celebrate the leader of IPOB, prophet Nnamdi Kanu. It is now categorically clear to all that three years after the prophecies of our leader and prophet of our time Mazi  Nnamdi Kanu plays out like a movie and manifested before our very eyes. We thank God Almighty (Chukwu Okike Abiama) for his servant Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who has now vindicated once again.

All the prophecies and declaration of IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who still remained in the custody of Nigerian Army after the invasion of his hometown and compound in Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia Abia State on September 14 last year has come to pass, the recent scenario and statement from Rtd General T.Y Danjuma has clearly shown that Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB is the only good thing that happened to Christians in Nigeria particularly Southern Nigeria and Middle Belt region.

It is good we hear him for history and record purposes. As they campaign vigorously for elec­tions you would think they are coming to grow the economy, en­throne justice, breed unity and tol­erance and love for one another. No, they are coming to enthrone Hausa/Fulani supremacy, to reposi­tion the security agencies by sacking all competent hands and replace them with their kinsmen in order to drive their ethnic domination of Southern Nigeria.

“The Fulani herdsmen will be armed and encouraged to slaughter us with impunity and their masters will protect them. They are coming to ensure that my people are enslaved forever. Those who do not, believe me, will soon see it happen before their eyes. The Fulani will take over the en­tire south as a continuation of their age-long agenda to Islamize Eastern Nigeria. They will brazenly seize our land in pretense of creating grazing fields for the Fulani. Then the con­quest will be complete and we will be­come their serfs forever.” This is the word of a prophet.

It is unfortunate that APC Government led by Major General Muhammad Buhari arrested and jailed him for two years without trial and later kidnapped him and kept him without traces since 14th September 2017 because he saw ahead and spoke out without fear or favour.

He was hunted like an antelope for standing firm on the way to the truth that led and moved the Nigerian Authority and her security operatives including those unscrupulous politicians in Abuja planned to kidnapped him since last year without any well-meaning Nigerian asking questions for his whereabouts because he looked the cabals and jihadists in the eyes and called them what they are.

He was betrayed because he looked at his brothers and sisters who have become slaves of the Hausa Fulani Caliphate in the eyes and told them they were nothing but slaves. He was hated by a few who are suffering from an identity crisis because he tried to liberate them from mental and physical slavery, which the cowards parading themselves as leaders and elders could not help to them but cheer the desecration of his father’s palace because they don't even know where to start.
