THE RESTORATION OF BIAFRA NATION

  Menu Let’s Have A Biafra Day to Learn from Western Sub-Nationals It was not a typical Wednesday morning. It was cold and the sky was darkened from the heavy rainfall of the night before. I remember this vividly because I had grudgingly gotten out of bed, bumped my foot against the edge of the bed and desperately wished it was the weekend so I wouldn’t go to work. But it wasn’t! I reluctantly got to the office and walked right into the middle of an argument. I wasn’t ready for work, neither was I ready to engage in any sentimental debate. I was going to head for my desk in the corner of the room, block out the noise and bury myself in work. Digging for my headphones, I couldn’t help but overhear the conversation. “We may have a holiday next week!” Another holiday in June? I thought to myself. And just like that, the day got a little brighter. My colleague continued, “The President just announced that Democracy Day will no longer be celebrated on the 29th of May, rather on the 12th...

  George Agbakahi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and leader of the South East  Tinubu’s Support Group, has said that the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,  IPOB, will be a major factor in determining President Bola Tinubu’s chances of reelection in the South East. Agbakahi stated this on Friday while speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show. He highlighted the achievements of the Tinubu administration in the region, especially in terms of infrastructure development. “You know, the President has done a whole lot in respect of infrastructure development in the South East. Almost the major roads in the South East are now under construction. Go to Enugu-Onitsha road that has not been touched by previous administrations, it is under construction,” he said. Go to Enugu-Port Harcourt road, the same thing is happening; it’s working, a very important economic road. Aba to Ikot Ekpene that has not been tou...

  at this morning,  dear reader of the Orbit, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)  remains a political prisoner, and a prisoner of conscience in Nigeria. Kanu continues to be held,  against his will, and against the laws of the  federation of Nigeria, whose courts have declared that he has broken no laws, and has no case to answer over the matter on which he is being held.  Kanu’s continued detention is now no longer a personal matter between Nnamdi Kanu and the Federal Government of Nigeria, it is now an insult to the Igbo.  I will come to this in a minute. But let me quickly outline the Nnamdi Kanu story, for those who do not know, or who may have forgotten, or who have been   absorbed by too much flux of time, and who may now be extremely fatigued by the drag of this case. As at 2015,  Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was an ordinary Nigerian, and actually, quite unremarkable.  Even back at High School, at the...
