THE RESTORATION OF BIAFRA NATION

  The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, yesterday, urged South East residents in Abuja to come out on February 2nd, 2022 in solidarity with its leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as he appears in court. IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, entitled, “Biafrans in Abuja and its environs should solidarize with our patriots due for a court appearance on February 2, 2022.”, said they cannot be abandoned because the allegation leveled against them does not infringe on the law of Nigeria.  IPOB statement read: “We are the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, under the command of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We want to inform all Biafrans that the following gentlemen of our movement: Mazi Chidebere Onwudiwe, Mazi David Nwawuishi, Mazi Bright Ishinwa Chimezie, and Mazi Benjamin  Madubugwu will be in court over the frivolous and empty charges preferred against them by the federal government of Nigeria on the 2nd of February 2022. The  Nige...

  Human Rights Writers Association, HURIWA, has told a former Niger Delta militant leader, Alhaji Asari Dokubo, to be sensitive and stop his alleged garrulous attacks on the rule of law which is geared towards undermining leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu. HURIWA said it strongly condemns the insensitive, callous and irrationally calculated attempt by the ex-militant leader to intentionally influence the outcome of the trial of Nnamdi Kanu. “We condemn the systematic campaign of calumny by Mr. Dokubo targeting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,” HURIWA said in a statement signed by Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, its national coordinator. “We think that his constant media outbursts seeking to undermine the defense that maybe put up by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the Court is totally unconstitutional, primitive, tendentious, provocative and animalistic.” The group said that Asari Dokubo must be called to order, adding that Nigeria has become virtually a banana republic u...

  The Anambra State Government on Monday mourned a former Secretary to Lagos State Government, Adenrele Adeniran-Ogunsanya and a former Biafran warlord, Captain Ben Gbulie (retd.). This was contained in a statement by the Anambra state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Don Adinuba, titled, ‘Anambra condoles with Gbulie and Adeniran Ogunsanya families’. Adeniran-Ogunsanya died last Tuesday at the age of 74 after a brief illness. The commissioner condoled with the Ogunsanya family, noting that the deceased’s father, Chief Adeniran Ogunsanya, was for decades the closest political associate and personal friend of Nigeria’s first President, Nnamdi Azikiwe, a “worthy son” of Anambra State. In a letter to the Ogunsanya family, Adinuba commended the late Princess Aderenle Adeniran-Ogunsanya for being “principle-centred like her legendary father, Chief Adeniran Ogunsanya, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), who was at different times Commissioner for Educati...

  According to the group, some persons have promised to help President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to make Kanu bow to pressure, hence trying to cause division among IPOB members.   The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said the Nigerian government is keeping its leader, Nnamdi Kanu in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) because he declined monetary and land offers to make him forsake Biafra agitation.  According to the group, some persons have promised to help President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to make Kanu bow to pressure, hence trying to cause division among IPOB members.  IPOB said these through a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, on Monday.  It read, "The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been drawn to the secret plans by the Buhari government to illegally detain our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for as long as possible.  "Their...

  Since the Nigerian Civil War in 1967 fought between the Nigerian government and the separatist Biafra state, there has been a distinct movement designed to enshrine the liberation of the South Eastern states which fall under the Biafra region. This fight in a contemporary setting has largely been shaped by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)- an organization centered around fulfilling the vision of Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu- the Biafran leader during the Civil War. Consequently, this has led to conflict with the Nigerian government who balk at its separatist philosophy. We offer an insight into the organization and what makes it tick. What Is The Origin Story Of IPOB? The birth of the IPOB movement can be traced to a secessionist movement that started in the 1960s. Led by Lt. Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu, the movement posited itself as representing the interests of the South East region who felt marginalized by the central government dominated by leaders from the Nort...

  The picture showing Don Jazzy in a Biafra-themed outfit was photoshopped. Recently, a Facebook page — Biafra Today News — posted a picture showing Micheal Collins Ajereh, Nigerian music producer better known as Don Jazzy, in a Biafra-themed outfit . The Facebook page, which has over 14,000 followers, shared the picture of Don Jazzy with a caption suggesting that the music producer is showing support for the actualisation of Biafra. “We winning. Biafra is nonnegotiable full stop,” the caption reads. The background of the picture also has the photograph of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).   The post, which was published on January 11, has garnered over 2,000 comments and 819 shares. A glance through the comment section shows many Facebook users who commented on the post believed that Don Jazzy has publicly identified with the secessionist movement.   “Nice one God bless Biafra,” Chijioke Onah, a Facebook user, commented...

  The limit of sit-at-home comes when it begins to crush a man’s testicles.   If the sit-at-home were voluntary and sparingly used, it would have bestowed credibility on the argument of the general acceptance of the Biafran goals. All it required was to keep winning hearts and souls, as more and more people joined the action. But our people have no such patience. They want it now – nzogbu-nzogbu. Using the threat of bodily harm to enforce the sit-at-home order, you lose the moral right to argue that it is a referendum by another name.   In all of his 69 to 79 years in this world, how many times has Bola Tinubu, the man who could be the next president of Nigeria, visited the South-East? I guess that it may not be up to a dozen times. He didn’t go there to school, compete in debates, quiz or Koran recital challenges. He surely didn’t go there on a school excursion to visit a major dam or a game reserve. Who wants to cross the Niger River just to visit Ogbunike ...
