THE RESTORATION OF BIAFRA NATION

The family of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnandi Kanu has appealed to the Abia State Commissioner of Police, Ene Okon to leave their son and brother alone. Kanu’s family Spokesman and younger brother, Emma Kanu, said the IPOB leader has not done anything wrong that could warrant his arrest, claiming that he (Nnamdi) has embarked on a voyage that will even liberate CP Okon himself. The police Commissioner had warned that the IPOB leader would be arrested if he steps his foot in the State for his mother’s burial. Emma Kanu said, “Arrest my brother for what offence? He should leave Nnamdi Kanu alone and go after the Fulani herdsmen who have been killing people in Abia State and elsewhere. “What has he (CP) done about the Fulani herdsmen and the rest of it? And what is Nnamdi Kanu’s crime to him? “Please ask the commissioner of police how many Fulani herdsmen he arrested and taken to court. “Also ask him, how many people who have killed people in this cou...

Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedezie, popularly known as Aki, has revealed how he met his wife. In an interview with Sun newspaper, the actor claimed he approached his wife the first time he met her and asked her to marry him. “I met her just the way every other man meets his wife. I made the first move ..I just told her baby, let’s do this and the rest is history.” On growing up, he said “Let me tell you something about my birth. My mum put to bed at exactly 12 am on the dot the day I was born; as soon as it was 12 am, I popped out! One peculiar thing about my mum is that she goes to the labour room with her wristwatch and once she gives birth, she records the time. And God has so blessed her, she delivered like the Hebrew women; she never had complications. I came into the world at exactly 12 am on the dot on the 12 day of the 12 month of the year so that means there is something unique about me (laughter). Growing up, my parents wondered how I would end up because they coul...

Nollywood actor, Osita Iheme, alias PawPaw has responded to allegations that he and his ‘twin’ in the industry, Chinedu Ikedieze alias Aki, are having some misunderstanding which sprung up after the latter got married. There had been speculations that the duo are at loggerheads as they haven’t been seen together in movies and social gatherings ‘as usual’. Denying the reports, the Imo state-born told the Sun, “There is nothing really going on between us. There is no movie to feature both of us so we have been doing our stuff separately. If any producer wants us together in his movie, then we shall do it as usual.” When asked why he is still enjoying life as a bachelor when Aki has been married for over six years, Pawpaw said he was taking his time. The ‘Brain Box’ actor said, “Marriage is not a step to be taken because other people are taking it. “Even if the person is your twin, you don’t have to do it just because he did it. It is something you do when you are ready. I’l...

Police in Abia State has vowed to take a decisive action against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu if he returns to Nigeria for the burial of his mother. This follows the news that has gone viral in recent time that Kanu would return home for his mother’s burial. The Abia State Commissioner of Police, Ene Okon, sounded it loud and clear that police in the state will not spare Kanu if he sets foot in Abia. Okon said this is because the IPOB leader was declared wanted. The CP, in an interview with the Sun, equally warned that police will not hesitate to arrest any IPOB member who may want to identify himself as belonging to the pro Biafra group during the burial. IPOB had said that their leader, Kanu will be coming home for his mother’s burial. He said, “Well, if members of IPOB are speculating that, the police do not know that one. What I know is that Nnmadi Kanu jumped bail and escaped and is wanted and remains a wanted man. “Until that ...

The Year 2020 is upon us. It is indeed a year that Nigeria is supposed to moult its disappointments and look to the future. On many scores, it is supposed to be the Year of thanksgiving. Many nations are not as blessed. Not many nations had their independence the way our country had hers. And statistics of young nations that descended into civil wars and eventually shrugged it off are even measly. Even after the early travails of the nation, the internal wrangling arising from loss of values, decrepit leadership and wretched management of the nation have seen the nation dangle sometimes on the brink of uncoupling. Yet, she never did. Therefore,an event like fifty(50) years after the war calls for large scale commemorations. The ceremonies may be sober, some could be filled with fanfare, and importantly intellectual energy should go into these ceremonies by war of symposia, conferences, archaeological tours, among others. It is surprising to some citizens, international friends of...

Leadership of outlawed group, the Indigenous People of Biafra on Wednesday accused the Ebonyi State Government of forming a group known as Bakassi  Boys, to stop IPOB’s agitation for the restoration of Biafra Republic. A statement by the separatist group signed by their spokesman, Emma Powerful, said the group was mainly formed to fight IPOB, adding that they would not be dissuaded. “We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra  wish to warn the Ebonyi State Government and all those unfortunate enough to be recruited into their Janjaweed Bakassi boys to fight IPOB that henceforth they will be treated as agents of RUGA and enemy of the people of Biafra. “IPOB Intelligence units on the ground continue to report the treacherous activities of this outfit formed to provide grass roots support to invading Fulani terror herdsmen in Ebonyi State, raping our mothers and destroying our villages. “Inviting Nigerian Army, Bakassi Boys and a myriad of local Fulani ...
