Is The Finnish Government Involved In The Conspiracy Of Terrorism Ongoing In Biafraland

 Is The Finnish Government Involved In The Conspiracy Of Terrorism Ongoing In Biafraland 


The once peaceful Eastern Nigeria is now being systematically targeted to become a zone where tears fall like shadows on crumbling streets, where safety's promise is a hollow beat.

The government's hand, meant to shield and protect, now fuels the flames that our futures inspect. 


The Nigerian government extraordinary rendition’s dark deed against the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, exposes the Western government's dual creed—justice in words, tyranny in deeds. 


The West where Finland belongs, has been the abode of a Nigerian government sponsored agent provocateur, whose acts of deceptions ever since the illegal rendition of Kanu to Nigeria took flesh, had become a cancer, attempting to erode the fabrics and prospects of the pacifist and self-determination agitation and campaigns championed by the IPOB movement, turning their legitimate grievances into sensationalized spectacle to the point that the line between genuine activism and manufactured mayhem is being blurred especially to passive/non conscious minds, leaving well-intentioned individuals vulnerable to exploitation. 


Simon Ekpa, as a Finnish resident underscores his amenable bound to the Finnish Constitutions and Laws. 

And is by law, has no immunity whatsoever from prosecution by the Finnish government, when a clear evident corroboration of his criminal and terror conduct exists in the public domains. He was arrested sometimes by the Finnish authorities in early 2023 on charges related to his terrorism in Eastern Nigeria but was subsequently discharged and his casefile suspended indefinitely. 


Raising a serious question about the involvement of the Finnish government in connivance with the Nigerian government to permit his reign and projection of terror from their soil. According to recent findings, trade turnout between Finland-Nigeria has skyrocketed since 2022, reaching a whopping of 47% in the past from an all-time low figure less than 10% in yester years. 


The Finland based agent provocateur had been said to be appointed by the IPOB leader, to join in broadcasting and awareness creation for Biafra freedom through the Radio Biafra London platform, after his tragic ordeal and extraordinary rendition from Kenya, but got laid off after he refused to cooperate with the required vetting and induction protocols instituted within IPOB and Radio Biafra. 


His criminal and sinister tendencies was spotted by the IPOB Leadership from the onset and as such fiercely resisted. He was never allowed near the IPOB Leadership, the radio Biafra platform or even the closest IPOB family in his country of residence, Finland. 


Nevertheless, he whom the IPOB leader intended to take in a brother's guiding hand, now wields a destructive brand of terror against the people whose struggle and interests serve as the locomotive lubricant fueling the Biafra agitation. No noble cause in sight, Only darkness, endless reign of destruction. A typical disposition and characteristic of an agent provocateur. 


Like Cain's dark legacy, he rose against his brothers, unprovoked.

He employed several techniques in other to sway his agenda into the very formidable IPOB movement, but failed miserably. 


He began to call for unprepared arms struggle which is contrary to the guided approach of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB). His call and hit-and-run cowardly attacks on Nigeria military, police and other sister security formations in Biafraland only quadrupled their presence there, leaving the innocent citizens who are already being exploited for years by the aforementioned, to bear the brunt. 


The Biafra restoration movement fostered by the IPOB family, worldwide, is rooted in the discipline and principles of peaceful insistence on demanding for a United Nation supervised referendum for the Biafran people. 


Judging from the peaceful rallies, radio broadcasts and online engagements from the members of IPOB, demanding for their right to self-determination, on no account had they resorted to violence against the Nigerian State, nor its own people in the South East Nigeria having the fore understanding that one cannot kill and suppress the same people they’re fighting to defend. 


Having the testimonial and prognostic afflictions of the Fulani herders (Miyetti Allah), whose modus operandi has been to kill, maim, rape, abduct and destroy the hard-earned works of farmers in/across Nigeria especially in Biafraland, IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu launched a security outfit, Eastern Security Network (ESN) across the South East, tasked with protecting and repelling the marauding Fulani elements within its Bushes. 


Under the very directive of the IPOB leadership, they had stayed only and true to this primary assignment - within the bushes of the South East region, working vigorously as a vigilante group, in protection of their own people. 


Ekpa claimed to have taken control of ESN. But he had lied— all to derail the very essence of IPOB’s heroic efforts in the South East. 


IPOB had made it compendiously clear on several occasions through press statements that Mr. Ekpa does not belong to IPOB. He has no membership recognition in the IPOB organization, and as such has no right to speak on behalf of IPOB. His actions cannot be attributed to the IPOB movement. 


Its presence in over 150 countries of the world, IPOB is duly recognized and respected to be the representatives championing the Biafra struggle for self-determination. 


What whispered secrets corrupted the code of comprehension, to the effect that after the indictment of Mr. Ekpa by the Finnish Central Criminal Police for his numerous incitements and sponsorship of terrorism in Eastern Nigeria, was released and the case with-held since the February of 2023? Even Finnish investigative journalists came for a fact-finding mission to ascertain the truth about his destructive activities. They confirmed the authenticity of the crimes being committed from their soil 


A pregnant woman was murdered, and her innocent premature fetus poured on the floors, Laborers were chased from the places of work, students tortured and vehicles burnt under the very inhumane directive of Mr. Ekpa, carried out by his contracted hoodlums all in the name of enforcing a non-existent Sit-At-Home order. 


Videos has been uploaded and circulating on the internet, several petitions written, and rallies done in various forms to convey the message of grievances to the Finnish government, now led by @alexstubb, to invoke your criminal code of conducts on the person of Ekpa. 


The Nigerian government has paid deaf ears to cries of the people of the East, across streets and towns, why is the Finnish government harbouring a known criminal and a terrorist within their borders? 


This has come to the forefront of human understanding, that the Finnish government is complicit in the predicaments of the Eastern people, inflicted by Ekpa. They have been induced with juicy deals by the Nigerian state to turn a blind eye on the destruction in the South-East. Biafrans must come to this reality and collectively unite to combat this global conspiracy against us, and our region. Deflecting attention and false accusations will not solve any problem. Objective analysis and decisive actions is required. And all sincere hands must be on deck. A stitch in time saves nine.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's Detention And The Hardship In Nigeria

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu IPOB leader




Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's Detention And The Hardship In Nigeria 


By Eluwa Chidiebere Chinazu | Biafra Writers

October 27, 2024

Before the illegal detention of the Biafran leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on 27th June, 2021, many Nigerians harbored the belief that the Biafran leader was in all facets a great impediment to Nigeria's growth. Kanu was blamed for Nigeria's woes and hated by those who upheld and nurtured the faith of a workable Nigeria - a faith that many see as mirage through Kanu's brilliant expositions on Radio Biafra. 

Upon Kanu's arrest, Malam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the then President Buhari, accused Kanu of inflicting hardship on Nigerians. With this statement from Garba Shehu, Nigerians were in high spirits, hoping for the best since the bad egg is in detention. Unfortunately, they got the worst after arresting their supposed "Mr. Hardship" called Nnamdi Kanu.

From the religious view, Nigeria is currently nothing less than a curse. In comity of nations, Nigeria is a perfect example of a failed state. People no longer canvas for infrastructural developments, rather their main problem is food. 

To say that Nigeria is bereaved of success is not exaggeration. Nigeria lacks the gumption to salvage the economic meltdown that has befallen it. The depth of Nigeria's debt causes goose bumps to her citizens. Nigeria is already on her knees.

Hunger has really humbled Nigerians. The wise words of Nnamdi Kanu are rapidly coming to fruition. It was the devastated situation of Somalia that gave rise to the phrase "failed state" in 1991, now that there is a country worse than the then Somalia, what phrase do we coin from Nigeria deplorable situation.

Why IPOB/ESN Is Being Targeted By The Nigerian Army And Their Man-Proxy In Finland

 Why IPOB/ESN Is Being Targeted By The Nigerian Army And Their Man-Proxy In Finland



The hassle with which Nigerian Army and its cooperative conventional media(s) rush to pin on the Indigenous People Of Biafra movement and the Eastern Security Network, every crime perpetrated by Ekpa and his criminal elements in Southeast, even when Ekpa openly claims responsibility of these crimes via his official verified X handle, does not surprise any conscious fellow and we believe it should not surprise anyone either. Unless, one is ignorant of the game being played by the Nigerian government and its military. 


Over the past 3 years, Simon Ekpa have claimed to have attacked Nigerian military checkpoints in different occasions and locations across southeast and claimed responsibility of them on several intervals during his live broadcasts. 


But you know what? The Nigerian army and media have refused till date to attribute these crimes to him and his goons squarely. Instead they continued to pin them on IPOB/ESN. Irrespective of how IPOB and other independent, investigative sources on the ground such as reports from the human rights organizations , Intersociety group has evidently established that IPOB/ESN has no hands in the insecurity or attacks on the Nigeria military formations in the South-East. 


It is popularly said that to kill an innocent dog, it must be given a bad name to justify its slaughter. This is what both Ekpa and his Nigerian sponsors are doing. The Nigerian government have tried in so many ways to present IPOB as a violent movement before the international community but it has failed precipitously over and over again. 


They could not match IPOB versatility and outreach in the international community. IPOB has continued explain to the global audience with empirical evidence about her non violence status, approach and dispositions towards Biafra self-determination quest and goal. 


Before the Nigerian government arrives at any international office, country as the case maybe, to submit these blackmailing reports against IPOB or to induce benign officials there to mainstream their spurious narratives, IPOB would have already submitted a comprehensive unbiased report of the corrupt activities, crimes and lies of Nigerian government to these offices, and further poising them to go on to conduct their own investigations via their own assets on the ground, if any. 


Obviously, Nigeria have bribed and bought over few officials of some reputable international organizations to help them in their campaign of designating IPOB as a violent organization globally but it all ended up without any headway being made as their was no viable pretext or grounds for such, even under the laws of these respective countries or international law. 


We must recall the National Institute For Peace In USA, and Tony Blair Institute whom  passively highlighted or rather aimed at projecting IPOB as a violent movement in 2022 and this was inputed in the annual global terrorism index which the contributed to. This was the handiwork of the Nigerian government and of course certain elements within the US and United Kingdom governments. 


Though, they retracted their claims after they could not prove with concrete evidence that IPOB was guilty as charged, judging from their own biased reports. IPOB on the other hand threatened legal actions if they fail to recluse IPOB from the global terrorism list. 


They have tried everything and exhausted their plans to break the IPOB global family,  her finances, her illegal incarcerated Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, or even lure the ESN tasked to confront Fulani terrorists in Biafraland into an unprepared war with the Nigerian armed forces, but to no avail. 


Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has made a mess of the Nigerian government even in their own courts, the IPOB family survived the storm and is waxing strong globally. The ESN as seen and acknowledged by all and sundry – including those in the military circles – continues to enhance its tactical capabilities even amidst provocations to lure or distract them from their primary assignment of wading off Fulani terrorists from Biafra forests or bushes. 


So the only viable card left to hold on to, is by keeping the agent provocateur alive and kicking as he would serve as the odds to apparently keep IPOB on their toes and on the defensive, while he wrecks havoc that would compel the members of the Biafran public to develop animosity towards the Biafra struggle due to the criminality and violence it has seemingly brought on them. 


Besides, should IPOB succeed in achieving Biafra restoration sooner or later, there will always be a need for the imperialists or enemy close neighbors to sponsor a 'pseudo opposition', that would oppose the Biafra Republic and its eventual leadership. This is why Mr Ekpa is untouchable and even the Finnish Government who arrested him in early 2023 for serious crimes bordering fraud etc, all of a sudden stood down and his casefile was closed indefinitely till this moment. 


So anytime you see Nigerian Army making accusations in their press statement against IPOB/ESN, be assured that Ekpa and his goons have carried out another scripted operation to keep the propaganda and blackmail momentum level high and afloat. 


To set the record straight, this latest attack on soldiers in Mbanọ is a false flag operation to blackmail IPOB as usual. In as much as IPOB and the entire Igbo nation opposes the sinister plot of importing refugees from the north to the East. The violence in Ehime Mbanọ is a false flag operation to blackmail IPOB and to keep the insecurity in Imo state, spiking and escalating. IPOB did not claim responsibility for the burning of the site chosen to host these northern refugees nor the house of Senator Ibezim. Mr Ekpa did and he is not an IPOB member or of ESN. 


Had these structures not being torched. The result would still be the same, there would be no refugees camp in the South-East. The people in cooperation with IPOB would have made sure of it. And the ongoing ensuing violence, military bombardment and ransacking in Ehime Mbanọ would not be in the picture as has sadly obtained now. 


The ultimate aim is to set IPOB against the people or as being responsible for the violence just as obtained in the Aba 30th May Biafra Fallen heroes remembrance day incident. To breach the trust, adherence and listenership Biafrans have for the directives of the IPOB movement. Knowing fully well that they would not betray nor jeopardize their interests and overall well-being. 


Thus, we will continue to debunk and expose their lies, and educate our people to know and understand who is their enemies and how they operate to make our region unsafe for us and why their must be a concerted effort to resist and wade off their machinations against us as a people.

IPOB Struggle For Self-Determination Would Have Crumbled If It Was Money-Centered

 IPOB Struggle For Self-Determination Would Have Crumbled If It Was Money-Centered



Recently, the Nigerian Chief Of Defense Staff, General Christopher Musa in an interview with one of Nigeria's TV station (TVC News) opined that the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB) Movement and her struggle for self-détermination and independent state of Biafra from Nigeria is parochial and money driven, has nothing to do with agitation against marginalization. But of course, this is obviously a clear display of an ignorance borne out of incompetence, or it's a deliberate derogation of an Indigenous people's noble quest. 


In Mr Christopher very own words; "They (IPOB) are doing for their own selves, a lot of them are doing it for the money they are making. They are not fighting for any region, they are fighting for themselves." 


It is imperative to buttress that the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB) movement is non-violent. And as such obtains the funds  for her activities via peaceful means; more precisely, via crowdfunding by active members of the movement all over the world and supporters who deem it important to support the struggle for emancipation against the marginalization being meted against Ndigbo(Biafrans). This has been true for IPOB since inception in 2012. 


IPOB adopted the crowdfunding technique of Dee Sam Mbakwe, the late former governor of Imo State whose efforts gave birth to the first International airport in the South-East after the Biafra genocidal war of 1967-70. 


After 1970, the Federal Government of Nigeria refused to commit to any developmental, infrastructural project in the region they bombed into oblivion for 30 months. Thus, the governor at his time passionately implored every household, community, indigene and clan not only in Imo State but across South East to generously crowdfund the construction of the airport in the state from ground zero till its final completion. Making it arguably the only project of such magnitude and calibre in the world, to become a reality under such community-based circumstances. 


The freedom movement adopted this method since her methodology to Biafra restoration is intentionally inspired to avoid a repetition of belligerence over the Biafra quest, as much as possible. Thus, under such circumstances the movement cannot tax the people to fund struggle for Biafra self-détermination quest. 


Secondly, such restraint of non-violence approach to agitation hinders the IPOB movement from getting distracted unto exerting control over natural resources obtained abundantly in Biafraland, which would undoubtedly provoke an inflow of more Nigerian armed forces into the peaceful region, and could undermine the position of IPOB as a non-violent group. And, had that been the case, logic dictates that IPOB under such situation would be compelled to engage the militarily and other Nigerian armed forces in defense of their lots and position on those natural resources. But that never served as the Movement's source of income and funds generation. Yet the movement has kept alive and and hardly kicking. 


So, on this premises, IPOB choose to crowdfund her way out of oppression, having learnt from the outstanding precedence set by Dee Sam Mbakwe. Though, the intensity of the projects in question when juxtaposed are incomparable and humongous. Nevertheless, for IPOB, it has to be done, and there is no other way. Infact, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the leader of the IPOB movement who is still currently being incarcerated in Nigeria popularly maintained before his abduction that only the IPOB global family will fund the movement for Biafra restoration until its achievement. 


And, the IPOB Leadership has disciplined themself to stay on this course, amidst pressing challenges which arose after the IPOB Leader was abducted and extraordinarily renditioned from Kenya in 2021. Events which led to the confiscation, grounding of the IPOB international account in Germany, which in it housed generous contributions from members of the global IPOB family. 


It must be acknowledged that after the extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, many elements sprung up and tried to inject, hijack, divert the IPOB-Biafra struggle into a money-making venture. Some of whom went as far as using insecurity to indirectly tax unsuspecting members of the people, kidnapping, looting and siezing properties of the people. The IPOB leadership decried certain elements using its name unbeknownst to them to go solicit for funds from political figures in various levels in Nigeria and they (IPOB Leadership) constantly denounced such, maintaining that the IPOB movement does not operate in such manner. 


All of which ongoing is said to have been a covert operation, an orchestration sponsored by the Nigerian government, its security and intelligence agencies to either compel IPOB into making hard decisions and compromising on her modus operandi in terms of financial sustenance or/and to dispel and discourage contributors all over the world in the IPOB family to discontinue their inputs, thus leading to the collapse of the movement. There was also a plan to turn the people in the homeland against the leadership of IPOB movement as a consequence of the impersonation, criminality which its perpetrators hides under the name of IPOB or Biafra agitation to commit against the people.


Though all these have failed, as non of the objectives were attained to any reasonable or substantial extent, the orchestrators are not stopping. And, this explains the recent commentaries of the Nigerian Defence Cheif. The agenda is still much alive. The IPOB movement survived the financial sabotage at its heart since 2021 because its contingency plan - the IPOB global family - did not falter and abandoned the struggle and movement, even when there were pseudo, man-made or rather enemies' covertly sponsored reasons to do so. 


Now, the Nigerian Defence Cheif (CDS) is out to resurrect and project this agenda, showing that the government is far from seeking detente with the IPOB movement or the Biafra quest for self-détermination, contrary to the rhetorics of few uniformed fellows who thinks or believes they have been assured of a negotiated conclusive end in favor of all. 


The only thing hindering the agenda of demonizing IPOB in the eyes of the people is the institutionalized hate and phobia against the people of Eastern Nigeria - Ndigbo/Biafrans. The Nigerian government institutions, including its armed forces cannot help this as it is congenital, but continues to pursue the goal of destroying IPOB which is widely viewed by the people as a dome of defense and an output medium to mainstream their plight to the global community. This is why the agenda is failing and cannot hold. 


The IPOB movement has undergone through very stiff challenges but has stayed true to its conviction and principles. It has refused to be compelled to change course. And even when planted elements from the within attempted to become willing tools, they were expelled immediately. Such discipline and passion is a precedence that is feared and is clear for targeting in the eyes of the powers that be. 


Therefore, it is worth noting that the IPOB struggle for self-determination would have crumbled if it was money-centered, as claimed by Nigerian Chief Of Defense Staff. 

But rather, the struggle for Biafra restoration is divine and ordained. It is the only hope and contingency for the people of East. This is why the people - whom by the way, funds it - will never abandon nor repel it, no matter the attempts or orchestrations of the government. So, it is time for the opposing parties to come to this indisputable reality and take the necessary steps.


A referendum is not a death sentence. It is a voting process to resolve a political solution through a popular will of the people. Use it!

Kanu's Wife Faults Agenda To Relocate Northern IDPs To East, Says It Alters The Demography And Security Of Indigenes

  Kanu's Wife Faults Agenda To Relocate Northern IDPs To East, Says It Alters The Demography And Security Of Indigenes 

Lolo Uchechi Okwu-Kanu


Lolo Uchechi Okwu-Kanu, wife to the incarcerated Leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra movement, has condemned the collaborative plans between the federal government and elements of Imo State political juggernauts primarily the governor,  to relocate internally displaced people (IDPs) from the northern region to Nsu, ehime mbano Okigwe, Imo State under an alleged rehabilitation program for these refugees whom were displaced by terrorism that has bedeviled the north for over a decade.



Lolo Uchechi stated that while it is a plausible humanitarian initiative, there are other factors which should be put into serious consideration which according to her was not factored by those who agreed to the deal and are already in the conclusive inspecting stage of the site for the said program. 


"Dear conscious ladies and gentlemen.

Providing a camping site or home for Refugees/Internally Displaced People or Persons as the case may be is a humanitarian aid." 


"It is an act of #SelfPreservation. But have you heard of #Alterate-#SelfPreservation? 


"The conscious people of Nsu in Ehime Mbanọ must refuse this unbridled and unchecked process by @Hope_Uzodimma1 as this could be a Trojan Horse due to the long standing incongruity between us and the Fulanis. And the fact that it is unchecked and unbridled begs for scrutiny", she argued. 


Stating that taking to account the Fulanisation agenda through terrorism which has been projected by the Fulanis using state machineries and the subsequent resistance by the east through the IPOB movement and the ESN,  this planned rehab program could be an advanced infiltration scheme which would be exploited as time goes on, at the detriment of the security of the Indigenous populations of the East. 


Moreso, she questioned why the site chosen for the rehab program is a tertiary institution built for studies contrary to the principles and standards of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), arguing why suitable places and installations in the north and other parts of the country lying moribund were not chosen for the program.  


"During my Master Degree level, I did mapping and scenario simulations under a Disaster Recovery Module which the UNHCR uses." 


"There are considerable factors when mapping a displacement site for IDPs as it's temporary.  Following the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency process flow maps." 


"But the problem with #Africans and #Nigerians especially, is that they copy everything for show off purposes with no innate desire for understanding." 


"These displacement sites are usually built and run by governments, @UN agencies or international organizations and NGOs, but there could also be spontaneous sites but never a SCHOOL BUILDING where students are receiving studies for crying out loud." 


"The commissioner said they went round the building and it is ok for what they intend to do. Therefore, the vulnerable persons will share the laboratories with the University students? My goodness me, Make it make sense please." 


The National Commissioner for Refugee, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons did not see the abandoned factory site near the government's reserved centers if you are headed to Kaduna through the road that leads to Jos from Nasarrawa? The only place they found is the NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITY in Nsu Imo State.

What happens to Kano?

What is wrong with Abuja?

He said the government is making efforts to begin training of this vulnerable people in acquiring skills to reduce unemployment." 


"What is Nigeria's attainment statistics amongst other countries in creating employment for her citizens? She asked.



"On the long standing incongruity between the Igbos and the Fulanis, the hatred they hold for Ndigbo (Igbo people). You needed to map that first, the safety of the (host)  residents must come first. It is the number one factor to consider when mapping a displacement site. And must also consider the affected communities.

Is Imo State not already in turmoil as insecurity festers?" 


She surmised that not only is this initiative unsustainable in the sense that the facility in question is built specifically for tertiary education and as such not suitable for the program but also the security, demography of the people and region will be threatened in the long-term. Hence, these displaced persons should be hosted and rehabilitated in some other parts of the country. 


"You are disrupting the tutoring and academic continuity of the students and their environment. You are demographically altering our place.

The people you are bringing do not need the university lecture room (it is a tertiary level) for their acquisition skill program."


"These displaced persons should be taken to the other parts of the country."

Ethnic Profiling in Nigeria: The Igbo Struggle for Survival Amid Targeted Harassment

 Ethnic Profiling in Nigeria: The Igbo Struggle for Survival Amid Targeted Harassment



One of the most pressing issues facing Nigeria today is the persistent ethnic profiling and targeted persecution of the Igbo people. The Igbo, one of Nigeria’s major ethnic groups, are widely known for their entrepreneurial spirit and resilience, but they have also been victims of deep-seated animosity and discrimination within the country. Ethnic profiling against Igbos has become increasingly visible in the years following Nigeria’s civil war and has escalated to a point where many Ndigbo(Igbo People) have come to question their place in the Nigerian state. These experiences of harassment and marginalization are central to the ongoing call for the restoration of Biafra, the Igbo homeland.


While proponents of a unified Nigeria might dismiss the demands for Biafra as mere political posturing, a closer look at the everyday lives of the average Igbo reveals a pattern of institutionalized ethnic profiling and systemic injustice. It is no longer a question of political disagreements or regional tensions; the Igbo struggle is now rooted in their fight for survival in a nation that seems to see them as outsiders.


Igbo youths have been among the most visible targets of ethnic profiling. In several instances across the country, they have been rounded up by security forces, accused of being agitators or criminals based on nothing more than their ethnicity. The Nigerian government's treatment of young Igbos, particularly those with ties to freedom fighting movements like the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) has become synonymous with blanket repression and collective punishment.


For example, during periods of political unrest or when there are protests demanding the release of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, Igbo youths are often arbitrarily detained and massacred, many of them not even involved in the protests.


Simply being a young Igbo man in certain regions of the country automatically places you under suspicion. This has led to widespread fear among the Igbo, with many parents warning their children to avoid certain public spaces or political gatherings to avoid being falsely labeled as insurgents or agitators.


In many instances, these youths are detained without trial, with no charges brought against them. Their detentions, which sometimes last months or even years, highlight the degree to which ethnic profiling has become a weapon used to suppress the Igbo people. The message from the state seems to be clear: any show of Igbo pride or solidarity will be met with suspicion and force.


The economic success of the Igbo people has been both a blessing and a curse. Igbos are renowned for their entrepreneurial acumen, dominating trade, industry, and commerce in various parts of the country and world at large. However, this success has often made them targets for harassment by government officials and regulatory bodies. From Lagos to Abuja, Igbo traders and businesspeople are regularly subjected to excessive taxation, unnecessary delays in clearing goods, and trumped-up charges of smuggling or trading substandard products.


In many cases, the harassment appears to be motivated not by genuine concerns over business practices but by ethnic prejudice. It is not uncommon to hear stories of Igbo traders being raided by customs officers or local authorities under the guise of enforcing regulations, only to discover that their goods were perfectly legal. Yet, even after proving their innocence, these traders often face lengthy legal battles or lose significant income due to the disruption of their businesses.


The 2020 case of Igbo traders in Lagos who were accused of importing substandard goods is a prime example. Despite meeting all regulatory requirements, they were detained, and their goods seized without cause. It was only after a public outcry and the intervention of advocacy groups that the authorities were forced to release them, but the damage had already been done. This kind of economic sabotage serves as a clear indication that ethnic profiling extends beyond law enforcement into other sectors of society, with devastating effects on the livelihoods of innocent people.


Another disturbing example of ethnic profiling comes in the form of the frequent targeting of Igbos at police and military checkpoints. While checkpoints are meant to ensure the safety and security of all Nigerians, they have become hotspots for ethnic discrimination, particularly against Igbos. Reports of harassment, unlawful searches, and demands for bribes are common, with many Igbo travelers reporting that they are singled out more often than individuals from other ethnic groups.


The experience of being stopped at a checkpoint can be humiliating and frustrating for many Igbo people. It often begins with excessive questioning, followed by invasive searches of personal belongings, vehicles, and sometimes even homes. For Igbo men and women, the mere fact of traveling through regions outside their home states can turn into a traumatic ordeal. A trip meant to last a few hours can extend to days of detention if a suspicious security officer decides to single them out.


In the northern and western parts of Nigeria, Igbos are especially vulnerable to this kind of profiling. Travelers are often detained on flimsy grounds, such as possessing Biafran flags or other symbols of Igbo identity. In such instances, the assumption is that anyone who associates with the Biafran cause must be guilty of sedition or insurrection, regardless of whether they have broken any laws. The entire Igbo identity, then, is reduced to one of rebellion and disloyalty to Nigeria.


The ethnic profiling of Ndi Igbo is not limited to social or economic spheres; it also extends to the political realm. For decades, the Igbo people have been systematically marginalized from the highest levels of power in Nigeria. While other ethnic groups have dominated the presidency, the vice presidency, and other key government positions, Igbo People have been left out of the country’s political decision-making process.


This marginalization has fueled the belief that the Igbo people are unwanted in Nigeria. In the political landscape, their loyalty is often questioned, and their interests sidelined. The lack of Igbo representation in national politics is not due to a lack of qualified candidates but rather a deliberate exclusion that stems from the post-civil war distrust of the Igbo people.


During the 2019 elections, for example, several reports emerged of Igbo voters being harassed and prevented from voting in parts of Lagos. In some cases, thugs were hired to intimidate Igbo residents and discourage them from participating in the election. This form of voter suppression was rooted in the belief that Igbo voters would not support the ruling party and therefore had to be excluded from the process. Such incidents highlight how deeply entrenched ethnic bias is in Nigeria’s political system.


The way Igbo people are portrayed in the media further exacerbates the problem of ethnic profiling. Negative stereotypes of the Igbo people as rebels, agitators, or troublemakers are regularly reinforced by the Nigerian media. Whenever there is a crime, riot, or unrest involving an Igbo person, their ethnicity is often highlighted, as if being Igbo inherently makes one prone to lawlessness.


This contrasts sharply with how individuals from other ethnic groups are portrayed in the media, where their ethnicity is rarely mentioned unless it serves a positive narrative. For Ndi Igbo, the media's negative portrayal serves to legitimize the discriminatory treatment they receive from the state and from society at large. It reinforces the idea that Igbos are not loyal Nigerians and that their demands for equal rights or political representation are illegitimate.


This portrayal is particularly harmful to young Igbos who are growing up in a country that seems to view them with suspicion and hostility. It plants the seed of resentment and alienation, contributing to a cycle of distrust between the Igbo people and the Nigerian state.


The ethnic profiling of Igbos is not just an isolated problem; it is a symptom of a deeper, systemic issue that has plagued Nigeria since its creation. The marginalization, harassment, and persecution of the Igbo people have led many within the community to conclude that their future cannot be secured within the Nigerian state. This sentiment is what drives the continued agitation for the restoration of Biafra.


For Ndi Igbo, the idea of an independent Biafra is not just about self-determination or cultural pride. It is about survival. They see the current Nigerian state as one that cannot protect their interests, provide them with opportunities for political representation, or allow them to thrive without discrimination. The constant targeting of Igbos by security forces, the media, and the political establishments has led to a growing sense of alienation and frustration. The Biafran movement, therefore, is seen as a response to these injustices, a way to carve out a space where Ndi Igbo can live in peace and dignity, free from ethnic profiling and persecution.


While some Nigerians may view the call for Biafra as a threat to national unity, for NdiIgbo, it represents hope. Hope for a future where they are not constantly under suspicion, where they can express their identity without fear of reprisal, and where they can build a prosperous and inclusive society. The demand for Biafra is rooted in the lived experiences of generations of Igbo people who have been treated as second-class citizens in their so called country.



Ethnic profiling against Ndi Igbo in Nigeria is not just a legal or political issue—it is a fundamental human rights violation that affects every aspect of life for the Igbo people. From arbitrary arrests to economic harassment, from political exclusion to media stereotyping, Ndi Igbo are routinely subjected to discrimination based on their ethnicity.   


As long as the ethnic profiling continues, the call for Biafra Nation will continue to rise.

Uchechi Okwu-Kanu Ramps Up Pressure Over UK Govt's Adamance In Husband's Ordeal

Uchechi Okwu-Kanu Ramps Up Pressure Over UK Govt's Adamance In Husband's Ordeal


Wife to the incarcerated Leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, Uchechi Okwu-Kanu has employed the founder of the Widows for Peace through Democracy [WPD] Margaret Owen, who is renowned for her participation in the momentum build-up that led to the intervention of UK government in the case of an British-Iranian national, Nazanine Ratcliffe in 2022. After she was arrested and prosecuted by the Iranian authorities on espionage charges for 6 years. 


Mrs Owen in a post made on her verified Facebook page, officially confirmed the assumption of the case after the former attorney in charge of the case, Jonathan Cooper died in autumn 2021 shortly after the extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and subsequent prosecution/incarceration. 


In the statement issued by Mrs Owen, she lamented the adamance and negligence of the United Kingdom in the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, likening his case with that of the aforementioned Nazanine Ratcliffe. Accusing the Foreign company Commonwealth Development Office United Kingdom(FCDOUK) of abandoning a health-deteriorating British citizen in captivity, his traumatized wife and two sons. 


"On my mind the deeply distressing plight of 56 year-old British citizen Nnamdi Okwu-Kanu , the IPOB ( Indigenous People of Biafra) leader, who in 2021 was a victim of extraordinary rendition from Kenya by the Nigerian authorities.  His unlawful unjust incarceration is causing extreme distress to his wife Uche, and his two young sons.  They are all British citizens living here, but so far the UK government is doing nothing to obtain his release and have him returned to this country where he has his home." 


"Blindfolded, he was tortured for 8 days with grave consequences to his health and is now detained in the Abuja prison, denied urgently needed medicines and cardiac surgery,"  she narrates.



She revealed that the late Jonathan Cooper  brought the plight of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to her knowledge, while he was still around.  Unfortunately, he passed before he could pursue the case until its logical conclusion. 


Hence, she has resolved to  "complete the mission" urging the British public to conduct simple research on the internet about Nnamdi Kanu's fight for freedom and to write their Members Of Parliament (MPs) representing their various constituencies to intervene in the case of Nnamdi Kanu being perpetually incarcerated in Nigeria. 


She argued that Nnamdi Kanu is pursuing a case of self-détermination for his people adding that Amnesty International has been reached out to classify Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as a "Prisoner of Conscience" to facilitate, accelerate the process of the intervention by the UK government. 



"Kanu argued for self-détermination for Biafrans, for freedom of his people, and for peace. A call has gone out to Amnesty International to adopt him as a « Prisoner of Conscience », as this would strengthen our appeal to our new Labour government, now headed by human rights lawyers, Starmer, Lammy and Kermer."



Recall that after the Supreme Appellate Court Judgment of 13th October 2022, ordering the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Amnesty International  Nigeria, in line with the yet-to-be-implemented court ruling, issued a statement calling for Nnamdi Kanu's release.



Mrs Owen surmised that if the UK government does not intervene in the case of Mr Kanu, she would have no choice but to employ same strategy which was mass-used in the demand of Nazanine this forthcoming winter: pitching tents outside the FCDO office and commencing an unending hunger strike. 


Owen believes this would force the UK government to intervene in the case of Mr Kanu whom from all indications no longer has much time as he faces grave heart complications which requires immediate medical attention unlike Nazanine who spent 6 years before her release. 


"Nnamdi Kanu has not got such time, given the serious state of his heart, and other problems resulting from the torture." 


According to her, the hunger strike is part of a strategy package which Richard Ratcliffe spouse to Nazanine advised would be effective in the bid to ensure a timely intervention of the British government. And as such would be adopted if no meaningful progress is seen.

Recuse Yourself From Kanu's Case Of Extraordinary Rendition, Wife Tells Justice Binta Nyako As D-day Approaches

 Recuse Yourself From Kanu's Case Of Extraordinary Rendition, Wife Tells Justice Binta Nyako As D-day Approaches


Uchechi Okwu-Kanu

Uchechi Okwu-Kanu, wife to the incarcerated Leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has called on the presiding judge at the federal high Court Abuja, Justice Binta Nyako to recuse herself from the case, saying that the later appears to have been muzzled into complying with the agenda of the successive executive arm of government whom was responsible for the kidnap and extraordinary rendition of her husband from Kenya and his subsequent or rather continued incarceration at the DSS headquarters Abuja. 


In a reminder tweet made on her verified X social handle (@Okwu-Kanu) anticipating the upcoming court sitting to be held on 24th September 2024, Mrs Kanu recounted the centuries-long historic injustices which has been meted on the Igbo race and black Africans at large. Positing that the currrent struggle for emancipation of the dark continent - which her husband, Nnamdi Kanu is one of its proponents - is spurred and inspired by the reincarnated older generations whom are back to continue the fight against oppression from where they stopped in their past lives. 


She questioned why Africans, as naturally obtained with every warm blooded mammal are yet to activate their self preservation instincts even though they are faced with multiple existential threats aimed at completely destroying their lives and future of the next generation. She called on Africans to collectively commence the process of activating their self preservation instincts. 


In the same vein, she called on Ndigbo whom are faced with existential threats of collective survival to activate their lifesaving self preservation instincts and in her view, the first off step in that regard would be for they [Ndigbo] to collectively work and ensure that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is being incarcerated by the federal government for seeking self determination of Ndigbo through a United Nations supervised referendum after years of marginalization, is rescued from captivity and plans of perpetually persecution. 


Furthermore, she called on the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma to withdraw his ulterior dealings and orchestrations against the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, her husband. Buttressing that she is in knowledge of his vindictive attitudes and asked him to contemplate about the future and do noble by withdrawing his machinations.



Finally, she assured that no matter how far lies travels, the truth shall triumph and the righteous shall be vindicated. 


Her Statement In Full: 


Our generation, the next generation and our descendants are the reason we are pushing.

Our ancestors have returned and are asking questions!!! 


They want to know the reason Igbos are treated differently. 


They want to know why the Igbos cannot switch on their self-preservation instinct. 


The basic human and animal instinct to protect themselves from any form of harm. 


Ndi Igbo, we must activate our self preservation instincts to protect our race.

Start by actively requesting the release of your own #NnamdiKanu. 


#Africans at large, activate your self preservation instincts and skills. 


#NnamdiKanu's next court date is on the 24th of September, 2024. Our voices should be loud for: 


1). Justice Binta Nyako to recuse herself from continuing to hear #MNK's extraordinary rendition case. 


2). To ask governor Hope Ụzọdinma of Imo State to "remove the monkey's hand from the soup pot, before it becomes the hand of a human being. Nobody sits on power forever.



I have never called your name but you must know that "swift walking legs are seen by rapid moving eyes".

And "no matter how fast you run, you can never run away from your backside".

"Gburugburu k'ana agba ukwuu ose, anaghị ari ya elu".

IPOB’s Professionalism Amidst Adversity: A Testament to Resilience and Integrity

 IPOB’s Professionalism Amidst Adversity: A Testament to Resilience and Integrity 



The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have shown extraordinary resilience and tenacity in the face of severe obstacles, namely the enforced absence of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and relentless hybridized attempts by the Nigerian government to weaken them. Despite these challenges, IPOB has continued to uphold a remarkable level of organization and coordination, demonstrating that its commitment to its mission is unshakeable and that its operational methodology and tactics are grounded on its founding principles and integrity.



The Nigerian government’s efforts to destabilize IPOB through various suppressive measures, including but not limited, the arrest of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, have been relentless. These actions are part of a broader strategy to dislodge and dismantle the movement. However, rather than succumbing to these pressures, IPOB has navigated these challenges with remarkable adeptness, maintaining a high level of professionalism in its global operations. 


One of the most notable aspects of IPOB’s operations is its commitment to a crime-free and non-violent approach. Throughout its activities, IPOB has consistently advocated for peaceful and lawful means of pursuing its objectives. This commitment to non-violence is reflected in the movement's operational conduct and its strategic choices. IPOB has focused on peaceful advocacy and diplomatic efforts rather than resorting to violent confrontations, which sets it apart in a landscape often marked by strife and conflict. 


The professionalism of IPOB is evident in its well-structured leadership and governance. Despite the absence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the movement has continued to function effectively through a decentralized leadership model. Regional leaders and representatives have played pivotal roles in maintaining organizational coherence and advancing IPOB’s global yet collective objectives. This structured approach ensures that the movement remains focused and operationally sound, even in challenging circumstances. 


Strategic communication is another area where IPOB has excelled. The movement has skillfully utilized various communication platforms to engage with its supporters and manage its public image and reputation. By maintaining a consistent and measured narrative, IPOB has effectively countered attempts to discredit it. This strategic approach not only keeps the global audience informed but also helps in managing perceptions, perspectives and reinforcing IPOB’s commitment to its cause. 


The effective use and capitalisation technology has further bolstered IPOB’s organizational capabilities. Digital platforms have become essential tools for coordination, fundraising, and advocacy. Though attempt to infiltrate and sabotage this advantage by the enemy through agent provocateurs and state sponsored trojan horses were/are fiercely pursued. Yet, IPOB’s adeptness at leveraging these tools has enabled it to sustain its global presence and mobilize support effectively. This technological proficiency underscores the movement’s forward-thinking approach and its ability to adapt to contemporary challenges. 


IPOB’s global outreach is also a testament to its professionalism. The movement has established a strong international presence through well-organized chapters and a dedicated global diaspora. These chapters are instrumental in advocating for IPOB’s cause for Biafra restoration via an internationally supervised referendum or plebiscite. Thus, engaging with the international community, and fostering solidarity from state actors across the globe. The ability to mobilize and coordinate a global network of supporters, and diplomatic advocates reflects IPOB’s strategic planning and organizational strength. 


In the realm of legal and human rights advocacy, IPOB has maintained its commitment to lawful and constructive approaches. The movement’s engagement with international human rights organizations and its efforts to seek legal redress highlight its dedication to achieving its objectives through legitimate means. This approach not only reinforces IPOB’s credibility but also enhances its standing on the global stage. 


The Nigerian government’s attempts to suppress IPOB have, paradoxically, highlighted the movement’s resilience and the effectiveness of its strategic approach. Far from weakening IPOB, these efforts have galvanized support and drawn attention to the movement’s cause. The increased solidarity from within Nigeria and the international community underscores the strength and determination of IPOB’s advocacy. 


As IPOB moves forward, its continued emphasis on legitimacy by international standards, non-violence, and strategic communication will be crucial in navigating future challenges. The absence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the ongoing pressures from the Nigerian government are significant obstacles, but IPOB’s commitment to its principles and its organizational integrity provide a solid foundation for future success. 


Despite facing significant challenges, including the absence of its leader and provocative, aggressive government high handedness, IPOB has maintained an impressive standard of professionalism and sophistication. The movement’s dedication to non-violence, its structured leadership, strategic communication, effective use of technology, and global outreach are all indicators of its resilience and commitment. IPOB’s ability to navigate these challenges while upholding its principles is a testament to its enduring strength and determination. As IPOB continues its journey and course to self determination sustaining its integrity and reputation will remain central to its efforts in achieving its objectives and advancing its cause on the global stage.

Strategic Silence: The Art Of Statecraft And Counter Manipulation In Biafra Restoration Project

 Strategic Silence: The Art Of Statecraft And Counter Manipulation In Biafra Restoration Project



Your enemies only want you to respond to their attacks. Instead of doing that, use silence to create fear amongst them because they don't know your next move. And remember, they'll like to know and see your next move. When you reply them immediately trying to declare your innocence or revenge, you make yourself weak before them. They study you more than you could study yourself.


They'll regroup and add more fire to their attacks. They'll continue to seek your attention so as to make you expose your plans, position and might before taking you down strategically.


The enemies love attention. They want you to talk about them. They want you to be restless about how to take revenge on them. This is their art of manipulations.


However, when one understands these skills, no enemy can know your next move. When you deny them attention, you create silence. That silence created will then make them be in a disjointed position. Out of the know of your position and move. Wether you're preparing something bigger than them or not, they do not know but want to know. If there are no clues to help them navigate through to attack you the more, you place yourself in better position against them in future.


This is just an art of counter manipulations deployed by state actors to navigate through difficult times, especially during confrontational wars or ideological wars.


Sometimes, people don't understand the SILENCE exhibited by the IPOB directorate of state DOS. That is why you see some shallow minded fellows coming out to ask what is the DOS doing to free our leader. Those people are gullible to understand what is happening and why the tide tilts and what the various trajectories demand.


State actorship is not a mere politicking business. It involves more than the lay people can imagine. It is not about coming on social media handles to tell you what plans and policies will be done. It is not your regular ụmụnna meeting executive where every opinion is given time to be expressed.


By the time many understand these demanding sectors of being in charge of a Nation's welfare, such as; Diplomacy, Geopolitics, State Actor Positioning, Counter Manipulation Strategies, False Flag Operations, Proxy Infiltration, Lobbying Manipulation, Economic Policing, etc, Biafra Restoration would be far achieved.


Lately, we have seen the tide of events in Nigeria. How various groups are being organized to advise Nigerian government to listen and allow wise counsel to prevail by using current provisions provided to create room for a National Referendum for the Peoples' in Nigeria. This did not just happen out of the air, IPOB leadership advertently and inadvertently brought us all to this level of equal playing ground. These Men and Women are exceptional in statecraft. They know their onions so much that many who are cerebral enough are beginning to understand that there's actually light at the end of the tunnel.


If not the firm defiance and abhorrence to violent agitation smartly played by the DOS since this turbulent and provocative 3 years of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's illegal incarceration, there wouldn't have been anything like what you're hearing about the Nigerian polity now. Nobody would've been talking about Referendum today in Nigeria. It would have been how to stop the bombardments of Southeast region by the Nigerian military.


The DOS, tactically displayed against the backdrop of many advisories to engage in arm struggle from various quarters, their counter manipulation superiority in the art of Statecraft. Otherwise, had they taken to the path of going confrontational against the Nigerian State, behold, Southeast by now would have been in shambles. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would have by now been jailed and IPOB lost it's legitimacy in Biafraland. Thanks to the ingenuity of the DOS.


Do not ever despise the silence of a green snake in a green grass over it's quietness, for it's tail could be it's head. Meanwhile, as our fingers are crossed and our eyes fixed on the goal, we await the Nigerian government at the junction of Referendum.


The DOS are ever wise.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu: As The Plot To Make Biafrans Disappoint Him Fails, The Plot To Kill Him Will Destroy Nigeria

  Mazi Nnamdi Kanu: As The Plot To Make Biafrans Disappoint Him Fails, The Plot To Kill Him Will Destroy Nigeria 



In the wake of the illegal abduction or extraordinary rendition from Kenya, as was the case with the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, there was noticeable pandemonium on the face of every indigenous person of Biafra that stemmed from the precarious nature of what the movement would become without the towering and fearless presence of our leader, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


Indeed, judging by the awkwardness of Nigeria government, it is well established that the scheme to have Mazi Nnamdi Kanu abducted involved multiple state actors, including a villainous colonizer. Certainly, the schematic instructions from the colonial enabler included engineering of internal fissure through spread of disinformation. Unarguably, the original plan was to create an untrue narrative of internal betrayal through paid agents masquerading as hardcore IPOB members. This was miscalculated to produce a total destructive effect, the likes of which recovery was impossible.


It has been more than 3 years that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was illegally abducted and extraordinarily renditioned from Kenya to Nigeria, still in solitary confinement despite numerous judicial victory while IPOB, against all odds, braved the colonial playbook of isolating the shepherd and scattering the sheep.


Before Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be tossed, Nigeria government and her foreign sponsors must find a way to make Biafrans disappoint him. With the flunking of the kidnap plan, the only card left for Nigeria government is to pretend to want a negotiation. The leadership in Nigeria lacks sincerity and the foreign enabler is a grand puppeteer pulling the strings. 


Therefore, if the initial isolation of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu happened and IPOB survived, surely the best option for an insincere government is to pretend to negotiate to achieve what was not achieved during abduction – deceive Biafrans to disappoint Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The plot is to relegate IPOB leadership, conduct an illegal negotiation with anointed persons, including lawyers and politicians, and use them to lie to Biafrans. These propped individuals will come to say things Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never said in order to trigger Biafrans emotionally and have them reject Onyendu. 


Unfortunately, the same miscalculation and underestimation of the post-kidnap result is still playing out. Nigeria government is grabbing its last straw like a drowning man. Since Mazi Nnamdi Kanu rejected every offer in exchange for abandoning the Biafra restoration project, information isolation seems the only viable card left for Nigeria government.  This plan is dead on arrival.


The reason is simple: Biafrans have transmuted and evolved for the past 3 years. The underlying effect of the torturous journey over the last 3 years is that Biafrans are empowered to put their emotions in check. Biafrans are now able to differentiate between what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu stands for from what others stand for. Biafrans know that they will not accept anything they didn’t hear directly from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as a free man leading a negotiation, not as a prisoner of conscience being negotiated for by other people.


As Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is unyielding to the Nigeria government and her foreign sponsors; and as Biafrans have mastered the psychological game of deception and will not betray their leader, there is only one remaining outcome. It is a bloody outcome. The question is: Whose interest will be served in the killing of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, which will lead to a bloody destruction of Nigeria?  Obviously, it is not the interest of Nigerians or the indigenous people. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is critically ill and should be released to go get proper treatment. To delay his release is to draw closer Nigeria’s doomsday.


Those that make peaceful change impossible, make violent change inevitable. Let common sense and reason prevail!

The illegal imprisonment without conviction of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu, a premeditated action by the Federal Government of Nigeria

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu 



The illegal imprisonment without conviction of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu, a premeditated action by the Federal Government of Nigeria 


June 25, 2024 | The Biafran Times

By Charles Opanwa

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, was first arrested in 2015, charged with offences of treasonable felony, unlawful possession of arms, and illegal importation of broadcast equipment, at a Federal High Court in Abuja. Unable to convict him of any of the aforementioned crimes, Kanu was granted bail in April 2017 on medical grounds. 

As though the 18 MONTHS in jail and the resultant health deterioration weren't enough, the marauding Nigerian Soldiers raided his country home in Afara Ukwu, Umuahia, in September 2017. That left 28 unarmed innocent young men dead, and several others wounded. The prime target, Kanu, however, in some miraculous way, survived the assault ... though not without life-threatening injuries. After 14 months of incommunicado ...a period believed to have been spent on recuperation, Kanu made a public appearance in the Western Wall of Jerusalem.


In April 1, 2019, Kanu filed an application through his lawyer, Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor,  urging the court to restore his bail on the ground that the court will guarantee his safety when he comes back to the country to continue his trial. The trial judge, Justice Binta Nyako, whose son and husband are at the mercy of Nigerian government, however turned this request down, adding that the only way she could guarantee Kanu’s safety is to keep him in PRISON.

On June 18, 2021, Citizen Nnamdi Kanu was abducted in Nairobi, Kenya. He was tortured and detained in a private facility for 8 DAYS before his extraordinary rendition to Nigeria. 

Citizen Kanu took his case to the appeal court on October 13, 2022. The appeal court cleared him of all charges filed by the federal government, yet he was held back ... illegally. In December 2023, grossly influenced by the federal government, the supreme court upturned the judgement.

From the date of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu's extraordinary rendition to Nigeria, Kanu has spent THREE YEARS in jail yet his trial is yet to begin. One therefore can't help but wonder if the illegal imprisonment of Nnamdi Kanu without conviction is a  government premeditated action.

Aba Attack: Unveiling The Ongoing Collusion Between Miyetti Allah And The Nigerian Military Using Covert False Flag Operations, Criminality and Insecurity To Destabilize Southeast

 Aba Attack: Unveiling The Ongoing Collusion Between Miyetti Allah And The Nigerian Military Using Covert False Flag Operations, Criminality and Insecurity To Destabilize Southeast 


In a global world replete with high level of manipulations, covert guerilla operations, proxies and false flag strategies usually carried out by security and intelligence agencies, organizations and institutions; have continued to raise concerns on the validity and objectivity behind what is reported as Truth about an event being made available for public consumption. In this regard, many false flag strategies and operations are orchestrated to conceal ulterior motives, clandestine agenda and oppressive policies while information manipulation is being deployed to control and monitor public discussions, perception and views on the subject using agents of information dissemination as remote tools. Security Forces, intelligence units and institutions often collaborate with each other in perpetrating these manipulative, criminal and violent activities, especially when there seem to be a shared agenda or motive behind the scene.


This brings our torchlight onto the prevalent polity in the East, especially in the Southeast region, where layers of recorded joint false flag strategies which were hideously carried out by Miyetti Allah in cohorts with the Nigerian Military; to be brought to the fore. 


The dark reality in Southeast is that the forces against the region are hiding under covert guerilla operations to incite unrest, worsen criminality and aggravate the general insecurity in the region. To not only demarket the region from attracting developmental growth and advancement but also to ensure that there's an unending state of turmoil in the region used in blackmailing the collective well-being of the region, Biafra agitation and IPOB altogether.


In the light of the above, this article aims at highlighting as well as revisiting the various spots of unseen collusion between the Miyetti Allah terrorist group and the Nigerian Fulani controlled Military within the shores of Southeast.


These testaments of sensitive collaborations between the Nigerian government, Nigerian Fulani controlled military with the Miyetti Allah terrorist group, are a collection of primary information gathered from thorough investigations conducted by Family Writers Press International, to expose the hidden secrets held by these institutions and groups behind the now trending Aba false flag attack.


1: Elements Of Connivance Between The Nigerian Government, Military and Miyetti Allah Terrorist Group Across Nigeria.


To start with, the Nigerian government and her military with other security forces have not in any moment till date condemned, attacked or declared war on Fulani herdsmen terrorists controlled and managed by Miyetti Allah terrorist group despite the group's history and penchant to engage in violent activities and massacre of unsuspecting indigenous peoples' in various parts of Nigeria. It is on record how the Nigerian Army and other sister agencies collude with the herdsmen terrorist group to maim and massacre innocent Nigerians. It is obviously recorded how the Nigerian military, police feign criminal silence to Fulani terrorism. Instead of neutralizing these insurgents, they provide them with logistics and tactical cover by going after community vigilante groups pursuing and checkmating these Fulani herdsmen terrorists; and also use political power and Media to shield the marauding Fulani herdsmen terrorists from public blame and condemnation. 


In places such as Ụzọ Uwani, Eha Amufu, Nsukka all in Enugwu state; Ezza, Ikwo, Ezza, etc in Ebonyi State, including other parts of the Southeast, have a history of terrorist activities of these Fulani herdsmen terrorists, yet in no time has the duplicitous Nigerian government, her Fulani controlled security operatives gone into the bushes to rescue these innocent defenseless people under Fulani herdsmen attacks. Despite numerous distress calls put across to these security agencies, there has not been any reported incident where a victim of Fulani herdsmen attack was rescued by the Nigerian Army or police. These are undisputable evidences that exposes the connivance between the military and the Miyetti Allah terrorist group. The Nigerian government, security forces aid and abet Fulani terrorism in Nigeria perpetrated by Miyetti Allah terrorist group. 


2: The Fulani Vindictive Policy Against IPOB/ESN Operatives In Southeast.


It is no news that the Nigerian government and her Fulani controlled security forces in conjunction with Miyetti Allah Leaders are out on a vindictive vendetta on IPOB, ESN and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu; for floating a vigilante security outfit determined to frustrate their Fulanization and Islamization agenda in Nigeria, and Eastern region in particular. This shared agenda of Fulanizing Nigeria having been thwarted by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB'S foresight, demonstrated by their establishment of Eastern Security Network, ESN; to protect the Eastern region against Fulani terrorism; became a stumbling block for the actualization of this evil plan, hence the Nigerian army embarked on a state sponsored blackmail troll against ESN operatives.


3: Independent Indictments.


"The armed forces are not neutral, they collude with the armed bandits that kill people, kill Nigerians, they facilitate their movement, they cover them, if you are depending on the armed forces to stop the killings, you will all die one by one". A revelation made by Former Chief Of Army Staff, Gen. T Y Danjuma on Channels TV, July 3rd, 2022.


"I was kidnapped by Fulani herdsmen working with Nigerian soldiers in the night but disguise as herders in the day. I paid 100 million ransom for my freedom". A revelation made during press interview by Methodist Prelate, His Eminence, Samuel Kanu Uche, June 1, 2022. Vanguard.


Nigerian soldiers busted for sharing N100 million ransom paid by Deji Oyewunmi, abducted Kaduna train passenger--Peoples Gazette July 27, 2022 .


These above extracts underscore all one need to know why the herdsmen terrorists were codenamed "Bandits" by the Nigerian government and the collusion between the Nigerian government, security forces with Miyetti Allah terrorist group. The onus of the matter is the continuous use of media manipulation to shield these terrorists while they massacre and destabilize the Southeast. It is obvious for the blind to see the reason why the army haven't declared war on Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria, but are out to tag every false flag crime they perpetuate in Southeast on IPOB/ESN. 


Furthermore, it's high time the people of Eastern region, especially Ndị Igbo in Southeast rally round and support IPOB/ESN for the safety of the region from Fulani terrorism. The use of false flag crimes in Southeast such as the Aba Army attack, remains the handiwork of the above exposed collusion between Miyetti Allah terrorists and the Fulani controlled Nigerian government and security forces to blackmail Abia State Government, the Southeast region and Biafra agitation championed by IPOB. Government recruited agent provocateurs, fifth columnists and infiltrators are under the payroll of these elements to cause chaos and perpetuate criminality in Southeast. However, IPOB leadership and the Eastern Security Network are determined to flush these criminal elements out of the region in no distant time. The time to do the needful is now. Delay is always dangerous.

Biafran US-Based Acknowledges IPOB's State Actor Role, Says IPOB Now Government Of The Eastern Region Of Nigeria

  A Biafran US-Based Acknowledges IPOB's State Actor Role, Says IPOB Now Government Of The Eastern Region Of Nigeria



The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is a peaceful, nonviolent Self-determination movement, formed by it's leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, around 2012. Advocating for the exit of the Eastern region and the establishment of an independent Biafra, from Nigeria through a United Nation supervised referendum.


Over the years, IPOB's non-violent modus operandi towards Biafra Restoration has drawn criticisms and concerns from various quarters within and outside Nigeria. However, within the confines of the Eastern region of Nigeria, also called Biafraland, IPOB plays a  complex role, ranging from undertaking initiatives, ideas and implementing policies considered to bring positive contributions to the region and also making vital decisions for the overall betterment of the entire Eastern region.


Some of the change-oriented actions and policies that earned IPOB her state actor role and authority include:

 

1: Filling The Void On Security Of The Eastern Region.


One of the most debated aspects of IPOB's activities, is its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN); a vigilante group formed by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu; charged with flushing out marauding Fulani herdsmen terrorists encroaching into the Eastern region through the forests and bushes; maiming and killing farmers and innocent residents of the region, as well as securing the safety of the region from any threat of terrorism attack by external aggressors.


With the emergence of ESN, IPOB earned itself a state actor position in the region, despite the various calls on the political leaders of the region to float a regional security outfit to wade off the terrorists herdsmen massacring innocent people in the region. Their failure and politicizing of the security of their people by the political leaders of the region, especially the 5 Southeast governors, opened the door for a nongovernmental actor to fill the gap. 


The Nigerian government often accuses ESN of violent activities, labeling them as terrorist group. However, many residents of the region argue that ESN fills a security void deliberately left unattended by the Nigerian government and security agencies. Decades of neglect of the security of the people in the Southeast led to the rise in kidnappings and violence activities by criminal gangs. In some communities, ESN presence is seen as a deterrent to such terrorist activity. The people of the region view IPOB as a government of the people, for the people and by the people themselves with a massive support and high compliance to IPOB directives.


2: The DOS: A  Sophisticated Leadership Structure.


It is important to acknowledge the complexities surrounding IPOB leadership structure. Their rhetoric can be inflammatory, and their methods has never for once resulted in violence.  IPOB is a well identified peaceful movement in various parts of the world, registered in many countries in Africa, Europe, America and Asian continents without any indictment of violent activities.


The group's leadership structure is opaque, such that one can not penetrate through it, to talk of bringing it down. At various false flag operations carried out by detractors and agent provocateurs recruited by the Nigerian government against IPOB, have continued to be futile to bring IPOB leadership down to the mud.


However, violent activities were been indiscriminately leveled on ESN by the Nigerian government and security agencies especially the Nigerian Army, which were still proven null and void as IPOB continues to maintain it's peaceful agitation for referendum to have a sovereign state of Biafra. 


This is made possible due to the leadership structure, where best think-tanks were assembled for administrative and governance purposes. These group of men and women of impeccable characters are the reason why the state actor position attained by IPOB has been carefully managed and not abused in the last 10 years The leadership of IPOB serve as the fulcrum to the positive changes in the Eastern region.


3: Regional Development Catalyst.


Beyond security of the region, IPOB engages in developmental policies and projects. As a state actor in the region, IPOB have attracted and contributed to the compliance, completion and startup of various abandoned, new projects in the region by Federal Government, State governments and local and foreign investors.


IPOB singlehandedly secured the forests from Fulani herdsmen terrorists, encouraged farmers in the region to go back to farming as well as improved on the food security of the region. A void left for over 40 years since after the Biafran genocide.


Recently, IPOB embarked on a vital policy action to electrify the region inorder to boost and attract industrial growth and development into the region. This is evident through their ongoing campaigns for the withdrawal and removal of incompetent, monopolistic Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC, from the region. This policy action is best understood from the positive perspective aimed at ensuring institutions charged with providing social amenities to the people of the region are held accountable and charged to provide their services to the public.


These actions address the very real needs of a region grappling with political malfunction and infrastructural challenges.  To many residents in the region, these efforts demonstrate a commitment to improving lives – a commitment they over years seen that the Nigerian government and their controlled Eastern governors lack. IPOB state actor role is  borne out of necessity.


4: Promoting Igbo Cultural Values And Preservation.


IPOB actively promotes Igbo cultural values Through organizing festivals, sponsoring educational programs, and advocating for the inclusion of Igbo language studies in schools in the region. Through IPOB's campaign of back to root, spread through several  sponsored Radio Biafra Broadcasts, a sense of identity and self-esteem were reengineered into the psyche of many Youths in the region. This however, led to many in the region embracing the Igbo cosmology and spirituality. In a globalized world, cultural preservation is an ongoing struggle, and IPOB's efforts resonate with those who fear the dilution of Igbo identity. Hence, IPOB using her state actor role, generated massive interest into culture consciousness now spreading across quarters in the region. 


5: A Complex Reality


Until the restoration of Biafra, IPOB remains a major stakeholder in the affairs of the Eastern region. This reality may not go down well with some individuals and institutions, however, it is proven that when the desirable is not available, then the available becomes desirable. IPOB occupies this void position left by the Nigerian government and the governments in the region. While their methods seem to bring developments into the region, they undertake initiatives that many residents see as positive catalysts.  Ultimately, the group's future hinges on its ability to embrace non-violent means and contribute to a more democratic and prosperous sovereign state of Biafra, whether as part of the contentious Nigeria or in a truly independent and sovereign Biafra. Therefore, it doesn't matter how long it takes for anyone to deny the complex reality in Eastern region, IPOB have come to stay. 


The difference is clear; IPOB is the people and the people are IPOB. A government of the people by the people and for the betterment of the people. It is empirically obvious that the people are with this government, judging from the just concluded 30th May, Biafra Heroes Day anniversary Sit-at-home, there are no second thoughts, IPOB is moving forward everyday and they will definitely get to their destination. It's just a matter time. The Nigerian government should stop being blinded with delusions and be bold to acknowledge this fact. Dialogue with this movement and conduct referendum for their peaceful exit. This is candidly wise to do.

Ex -Soldier Blasts Nigerian Government, Military, Warns the Press Against Misrepresentation, Gives Reasons For Resignation

Ex -Soldier Blasts Nigerian Government, Military, Warns the Press Against Misrepresentation, Gives Reasons For Resignation



Ex-Nigerian Special Forces Soldier, Daniel Somtochukwu who resigned from service due to the Nigerian Military/political establishment, vindictiveness towards his ethnicity(Igbos & Easterners), has accused the government and Military for terrorism on his people. He also demanded that the Nigerian press/media desists from addressing him as an active serving soldier, but an ex-Soldier.


The resigned Soldier frowned at the harmful treatment meted on his people, in contrast to the biased and favoritism towards the north and the terrorist groups emanating from there and ravaging the entire country. 


According to Somtochukwu's post of X-social media, "The highest act of terrorism by the Nigeria terrorist @HQNigerianArmy against Biafra people. Now ask them, is this not terrorism of the highest order?" 


 Also, "Nigeria media should address me the way I addressed myself as Ex Nigerian soldier stop misquoting me make una no talk say I dey impersonate"


This comes in light of the recent and continued overwhelming military invasion of Aba, Abia state by the Nigerian Military over the killing of 5 soldiers by unknown gunmen on the Biafra 30th May Fallen Heroes Commemoration day, 2024. 


The military at the orders of the Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu declared war on the Indigenous People Of Biafra whom they accused of being responsible for the attack. Though IPOB have stated unequivocally in a press statement that they are not responsible for the attack, calling it dastardly and demanded an open, public investigation into it, while on the other hand asserting that the attack was a false flag, politically motivated operation by the enemy of the Biafra struggle which it champions. 


IPOB believes the attack was masterminded by enemies of the commemoration of the death of 6 million Biafrans who were genocidally massacred in the 1967-70 Biafra war, which recorded tremendous success and due compliance by residents of the SouthEast, and the Economic breakthrough of Dr. Alex Otti's Government.


Nevertheless, this has not dettered the Nigerian military from unleashing an indiscriminate abduction operations against  youths in Aba. Preliminary reports shows that well over 300 (Three Hundred) young people have been abducted, and more disappeared without trace since the 30th of May 2024.


A lady doctor resident in Lagos, but whom family resides in Aba - their ancestral home, took to X social handle and lamented how her kid brother, aged 15 was taken by the Nigerian military men from their home alongside his sister, leaving behind their bedridden 70 years old sick father unkept. 


Similar stories & worse continues to emanate from Aba as days go by. Many young youths, most of whom have fled Aba metropolis to their various ancestral homes to avoid being targeted, were eventually tracked and killed.  The Nigerian military in one of such cases claimed it acted on "wrong & misleading intelligence." 


The Ex-Soldier in reaction to the bogus contrast about the overwhelming Aba militarization compared to the north where terrorists of various sect are having a field day, massacring deployed soldiers and civilians alike, displacing them in droves into refugees camps, with little or no crackdown on them or the civilians there by the state and military.


He stated that he condemns the military against its actions in Aba and South East as a whole, positing that the Nigerian Military "hates and despises his people". And this was why he threw in the towel. The Ex-soldier also urge everyone else from the Eastern region who are currently rendering services to the enemy's army to follow suit. 


"Over 300 people have been disappeared by the Nigerian military, yet our brothers in the military will see the evil that is been done to their people by the organization they under and they are still there , when something happens to them you will start showing pity."?, he said. 


"This is Vincent omile [illustrative pictures added]15NA who died in Maiduguri under Boko Haram attack @HQNigerianArmy he wasn't even recognised and this energy that is been put in the east today wasn't put then , no benefit to the family, why the eye service in abịa state ? I grew together with him in nkpor." He added. 


In many instances, Somto cited various reasons why leaving the Nigerian military was the right thing he ever did. He argued that during his time in service in the north where he was deployed, they were constantly compromised, under-armed, but then sent to confront terrorists who were for the most part, armed-to-the-teeth. 


"Nigeria army have deployed troops to okigwe from the video I watched .With lots of gun trucks but I was in F.O.B 151tf bn darjamel and isis attacked our camp 2019 with up to 50 trucks if am not mistaking and we had only this gun truck I posted .The hatred on my people is alarming." 


"Throughout my service in northeast I was officially given 60rounds till I left @HQNigerianArmy under the regime of maj Sani as my Oc in 151tf bn, but see the way they are busy pumping ammunition’s to kill my people in east and they want me to stand in one Nigeria 🇳🇬?


"It is only in Nigerian army that Sitrep [situation report] will come that boko haram are 5km ahead of our camp instead of the officer in charge to order the mortar platoon to engage them when he knows there’s no ammunition in camp to fight they will ask us to be on red alert. Youths should wake up, Isn’t that suspicious? Our youths should stop being used, our Biafra youths should know the games going on in the military that made me quit. It takes the grace of God and being sensible before you will get to your senses and reason about the things happening."

Is only in Nigerian army that Sitrep will come that boko haram are 5km ahead of our camp instead of the officer in charge to order the mortar platoon to engage them when he knows there’s no ammunition in camp to fight they will ask us to be on red alert .youths should wake up.

 Continuing, he said, The family of his young friends and colleagues who fell fighting the terrorists  were never taken care of. Some of these friends, he claimed never got to take their first abysmal salary but were tragically killed by the terrorists. And even the salary of the current servicemen is nothing to write home about."

"The soldier that I posted last time that was striked by IED [illustrative pictures added] didn’t actually died of the IED but died because they left him helplessly and bleeding killed him ,our youths should stop joining organization that doesn’t value their live and wellbeing." 


"A day to remind you youths that a soldier was killed by boko haram that made his closest buddy cried and the @HQNigerianArmy didn’t retaliate so hard and no benefits to the soldiers family but they are busy killing my people in Biafra land." 


Somto also added that most of people in the military are disgruntled, and knows he is speaking the truth but are scared of being eliminated; 


"Many people knows that what I am saying is truth but those in service are afraid to voice out to avoid being killed directly or indirectly." Citing instances where patriotic officials in the military were roundly dismissed from service by orders from Abuja, for going hard on the terrorists ravaging the north.


To crown it all, same terrorists whom numerous lives are being exhausted to combat would later be captured alive, and instead of making them pay for their crimes, they would be integrated into various civilian/military institutions by the Nigerian government as "repentant terrorists", and then deployed to the east to kill as currently obtained in Aba and other places, He lamented. 


These reasons and many more, are why Somto believes it is stupidity for a Biafran, Igbo or anyone from the East to serve in the Nigerian military. 


He said "Those of you that always ask why I quit from the Nigerian military, this video is one of the reason [illustrative clip added], I can’t continue service the government that sends troops to kill my own people while they let go of terrorist."


As a result of this some of the Nigerian media institutions opted to air his grievances, though addressing him as active soldier, which he strongly insists to be rather addressed as an Ex-Nigerian Soldier, to avoid being accused of impersonation. 


He also criticized the international community and global human rights institutions for turning a blind eye on the atrocities being committed by the Nigerian military in the Eastern region. 


"Dear World- NIGERIA🇳🇬if these are not human Rights abuses by Nigerian Armed forces against innocent cibilians in the South East what do you call this?The world is watching.IF NYERERE WAS ALIVE HE WOULD  SAY NO-UN,AU,EU WHY ARE U BLIND @antonioguterres @SuluhuSamia @KagutaMuseveni."
