Ahead of its “Biafra’s Heroes Day” slated for May 30 across the South-East, the Indigenous People of Biafra has warned the authorities of the West African Examination Council to shift its scheduled examination for the day.

Similarly, the body asked the authorities of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, to postpone its convocation ceremony scheduled for the day.

IPOB, in an earlier release by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, announced the stay-at-home on May 30 to celebrate the heroes of Biafra.

To honour its heroes, IPOB asked everyone in the Biafra land to stay at home and set aside the day to celebrate the men and women who died in the Civil War between 1967 and 1970 and beyond.

While noticing that WAEC and UNIZIK had engagements for the day, the pro-Biafran group, in another press statement issued by Powerful on Tuesday, asked that they should reschedule their programmes for the day.

Powerful said the warning became necessary because the movement of persons and vehicles would not be allowed on that day, except for those on essential or emergency services such as health workers, ambulances, fire service, filling stations and hospitals.

“The attention of the global family and movement of IPOB, led by the indomitable leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is directing the proposed UNIZIK’s convocation date on May 30, 2024, and WAEC examinations to reschedule its convocation and exams to a new date, because May 30 is the ‘Biafra Heroes Day’ and a sit-at-home for all Biafrans in the Biafra land.

“Nevertheless, we are reminding the university management and WAEC board that May 30 of every year is a sacred day set aside to honour Biafra heroes and heroines who paid the ultimate price and sacrifice for the survival of Biafrans.

“That day remains sacred and a day that Biafrans sit at home to remember and honour our heroes who fell during the Nigerian genocidal war against Biafrans between 1967 and 1970. Until the present day, the killing has not stopped. 

“No public event is expected to take place in Biafra land on this day. Biafra Heroes Day is a public holiday and a sit-at-home in Biafra land for Biafrans in honour of our fallen heroes and heroines.”

The statement said all markets, schools, banks, government and private offices were expected to be under lock and key, while the movement of persons and vehicles would not be allowed.

“WAEC board should not endanger the lives of small children because that day is not safe for any individual in Biafra territory.

“It is a day everybody stays indoors for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for us to live and they must reschedule the date to another day.

“The 30th of May is a Biafran Remembrance Day. Anything that happens to these children they want to bring out that day, they will regret doing so,” it added.

The group warned, “By this open letter, IPOB is calling on the vice chancellor and the management of UNIZIK, Awka and any other people or group that scheduled any programme for 30th May 2024, to postpone their programme. Biafra Heroes Day takes precedence over any programme in Biafra land on that day.”

He warned that doing the contrary, the management should be ready to take responsibility.

“We call on the students, the parents, the guests, and visitors to UNIZIK’s convocation ceremony scheduled for May 30 to apply caution and avoid being on the road the day Biafrans are mourning their dead.

“Safety is an individual responsibility. Don’t endanger yourself. In the past, the Nigerian security forces and their collaborators have killed and set some cars ablaze of those found on the road any time the IPOB calls for a sit-at-home, just to blackmail the IPOB. Don’t be a victim,” the statement read.

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...
