THE RESTORATION OF BIAFRA NATION

Amaechi said IPOB members were made to look like law breakers. “Any aggrieved person, group or organisation has the right to engage in agitations for better condition. There is no law that says that when you are maltreated, you should not complain against or to the person maltreating you. But in the case of IPOB, the Igbo leaders who should have directed them on the best way to follow betrayed them. A first Republic Minister of Aviation, Mbazulike Amaechi has accused Igbo leaders of betraying the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and other pro-Biafra agitators.  “Igbo leaders must not support the IPOB, but at the same time, they should not have betrayed them. If you are my leader and I am doing something you do not support, you should not sell me out or betray me the way Igbo leaders betrayed IPOB and other pro-Biafra groups. “Personally, I believe in one great country which we fought for its creation and independence, with other notable and patriotic Nigerians who ...

IPOB said the President’s statement was not only lies and strange but ”full of contradictions in the face of quantum evidence to the contrary chronicled by independent observers of the war time atrocities committed by the Nigerian forces against innocent Biafran civilians.” The Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, has reacted to the claim by President Muhammadu Buhari where he was quoted as saying that Nigerian Army was soft on Biafra during the 1966 Civil War. President Buhari had during a meeting with the Red Cross Society at the presidential villa said that the Nigerian Army was IPOB’s statement was entitled “Civil War: Why Nigerian Army wasn’t hard on Biafrans. A Rejoinder, by the IPOB Central Command of the Directorate of States, signed and made available to reporters on Tuesday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful . The statement added, “President Buhari’s comment was not only full of false and strange, but contradictory in the face of quantum e...

One of the most wicked and despicable lies that President Muhammadu Buhari has ever told is that the Nigerian Army was “soft” on the Biafrans and “restrained” during the civil war, implying that our soldiers did not indulge in genocide and mass murder. History teaches us that there is only one thing that is more painful to the victims of mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide than the act itself and that is the tacit denial by its orchestrators and perpertrators that it ever took place.    This is a lie from the pit of hell and it is insulting and deeply offensive. We must learn from our history and never repeat its mistakes. A few questions will suffice. Was the Asaba massacre in which thousands of innocent and defenceless young boys and old men were slaughtered an act of restraint? Or was the killing of two million innocent and defenceless Biafran civilians and the premeditated and contrived starving to death of one million innocent Biafran children a...

The Karel Jarolím-led lads piped the Super Eagles 1 – 0 in an international friendly ahead of the World Cup in Russia. Amazingly, most of the fans at the stadium were seen flying the flag of the former Republic of Biafra, which consists a horizontal tricolour of red, black, and green, charged with a golden rising sun over a golden bar. The fans could be heard chanting in Igbo, which is the official language of the rested country. Fans of the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Wednesday stormed the Rudolf-Tonn-Stadion, a city subdivision of Schwechat, Austria with flags of the defunct Biafra Republic during a football match with Czech Republic.  Meanwhile, Nigerians on social media have expressed shock over the appearance of the Biafran national colours at the stadium in a match involving Nigeria. Here are some pictures from the match.

Speaking with reporters in reaction to the President’s assertion, Amaechi said, “Is Buhari God? Does he think that could have happened without the will of God? Is that that why he allowed the Fulani herdsmen to continue to unleash mayhem to accomplish what could have been accomplished during the civil war?” A First Republic Aviation Minister, Mbazulike Amaechi, has reacted angrily to the statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari that Nigerian soldiers were soft on Igbo during the Civil War. According to Amaechi, the statement by the President amounted to a challenge to God who made it possible for Igbo remnants to survive the planned war of genocide against them. He called on, “Igbo to use their tongues to count their teeth and realise that it has become quite imperative for them to unite to speak with one voice and pursue their common interest, knowing full well that they are endangered species in the Nigerian project. The former Minister, whose son, Ikenna, is c...

According to Amaechi, the statement by the President amounted to a challenge to God who made it possible for Igbo remnants to survive the planned war of genocide against them. This, Buhari said, was because the then head of state, Yakubu Gowon, issued strict instructions to the army, that Biafrans were not enemies but “brothers and sisters of the rest of Nigerians”.

He spoke in Abuja after he was decorated as the Grand Patron of the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS) by the society’s National President, Bolaji Anani at the Presidential Villa. PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari yesterday hailed former Head of State Gen. Yakubu Gowon for restraining the Federal forces from going all out against Biafra forces during the civil war.  Buhari said: “Earlier in my profession, during the civil war, I know how much sacrifice members of the Nigerian Red Cross and their international counterparts did both in the real front of operations and at the rear, on both sides. I think it is a lot of sacrifices because anything can happen to you in the operational areas. “The risks they faced were real and I admire their courage and commitment to helping people who were in distress and were virtually in millions. Those photographs of people from the Biafra enclave spoke a lot. “I remember with nostalgia the performance of the Commander-in-Chief, General Gowon...
