IPOB : AmaechI Biafra group reacts as Niger Delta group threatens to attack Igbos

The Biafra Nations Youth League, BNYL, has reacted to a recent threat issued against Igbos in the Niger Delta by Concerned Niger Delta Youths over the alleged attack on Chibuike Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation in Madrid, Spain.
Amaechi had last week Friday claimed that he was attacked by some “misguided” Nigerians in Madrid.
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, confirmed that its members attacked Amaechi in Spain.
Following the IPOB’s claim, Concerned Youths of Niger Delta had given a seven-day ultimatum to IPOB to apologize to Amaechi or properties belonging to Igbos in the Niger Delta would be destroyed.
The BNYL, in a statement to DAILY POST disassociated its members from the Concerned Niger Delta Youths who issued ultimatum to Igbo people.
In a statement jointly signed by the Deputy Leader of BNYL, Ebuta Ogar Takon and Chief of Staff of the group, Linus Essien, BNYL lambasted the youths, saying that other section of the Niger Delta were not part of the threat, describing it as shameful.
The group thus reminded the aggrieved youths of their Igbo names and the Igbo related languages which they speak in Rivers State.
The group added that the Ikwerre cannot hide under the name Niger Delta to lure other sections into xenophobic actions.
The statement added, “We advise them to channel their strength to the fulani herdsmen if they have the power, not hiding in one room to issue threats in the name of all Niger Deltans.
“It baffles us that those issuing the threats do not even know that they are part of Igbo tribe, Amaechi himself has made so many public appearance declaring that he is a proud Igbo, even his brother was Ohanaeze Secretary.
“So IPOB attacks him it is because he is an Igboman like Senator Ike Ekweremadu.”
BNYL dismissed the threat, urging the Igbos to disregard such, adding that “No Bakassi man was there, no Ejagham man was there, not even an Ibibio man was there.
“Even Amaechi has dismissed rumours of his alleged attack, so they are on their own, we are not part of them, and our members and followers in Niger Delta are not among them.”

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
