The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Robert Clark have stated that Nigeria may not survive another six months as a united Nigeria.
Barr. Clark who stated this while reacting to the DSS Warning that “No one should make inciting Statement” During ‘Sunday Politics’ in Channel Television, said that Nigeria is worse than it was in 1982 when Shehu Shagari was the president.
In his words, he said “The problem is that those that supposed to know, don’t want to know and they don’t know.
“The problem was caused by the same politicians, since the 1999 constitution came into play, the same crooked politicians when Young boys then came in the politics trying to form as many parties for Late Head of State Gen. Sani Abacha. They came into money and since then Nigeria never remain the same again.
“the situation is so overwhelming. “Nigeria is on the verge of collapse ” Nigeria is worse than it was in 1982 “Security architectures keep on taking, talking, talking and talking, what are they doing?. ” I Robert Clarke can not guarantee Nigeria another six months,” he said
There have been agitations in the South-East and South-West for the country’s break-up for separate nations – Biafra and Oduduwa respectively.
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has warned that Nigeria stands the risk of experiencing another war if it breaks up.
Tinubu however discouraged it, saying Nigeria cannot afford another war, considering the lasting effects Nigeria Civil War of 1967-1970 has had on the country.
The former Lagos State governor, who spoke at a special Ramadan prayer held in Lagos on Sunday, said, “God will not allow Nigeria to experience it (war). If we say Nigeria should separate, people should remember what war caused in Sudan and Iraq.
“Such war does not end in time. We are yet to recover from the civil war. We are better together.
“I have nowhere I am going. Whoever has experienced war in the past will not pray for such. Nigeria will not separate; it’s not acceptable to us. Our prayer is for prosperity and more wealth for the country.”
BOKO HARAM DESTROYED NORTH AND NIGERIA DID NOT DIVIDE, EAST ON THE LINE WITHOUT PURPOSE AND PRECISION
The mindset of many IPOB members is ‘let us destroy Nigeria once and for all. However, little did they know they are destroying their lands for nothing because their is no Nigeria to be destroyed. Boko Haram began to bomb police stations and checkpoints- it was a triumphant beginning until it was hijacked by an international terrorist organization. The rest became history. What doesn’t affect the government affects nobody- you can kill as many as you deem necessary as long as government is still in place, after all, it’s not a new problem, governments around the globe face same problem. You will eventually get tired, accept amnesty, tamed or defeated.
Be guided properly; I am not against the ruin, but, I am saying, we ruin this region for no reason. It amazes me that if I ask unknown gun men what we are raiding security personnel for, I won’t be able to get any answer. We cause the deaths of our people for nothing. Our people should die for a purpose worth dying for. I can’t promote a futile and headless fight- a fight not defined or coordinated and without precision for a ‘worthwhile’ purpose. I would support this fight if the military is repelled squarely- especially if they come to slaughter. Hit and run and hit elsewhere while soldiers slaughter victims is an eyesore. We must also spell out our purpose and actively embrace the purpose.
Nnamdi Kanu has found himself under pressure and frustration is taking the better of him, because, there is a head the cap fits and knowing he can’t do it, he is now sincerely doing nothing- not even doing anything based on trial and error. He is a man that lacks intelligence; whose mouth was able to give fame. If there is a test for substance; Nnamdi Kanu won’t be close to the demand. We have a situation police stations and check points are being raided; after raiding police stations and checkpoints, the question still begging for answer remains ‘what next? We all know he has no capacity to execute it; why then is he shaming it?
Most IPOB members are insinuating that federal government of Nigeria would call IPOB for negotiation aftermath of the deteriorating security situation. That is the mindset of a failure. They keep expecting miracles without a strategy. Unknown gun men are raiding stations and checkpoints and because of that, IPOB members believe Biafra will be given to us. It appears more like most IPOB members are suffering from typhoid that has affected their brains. Their sympathizers also allowed emotion take the better of them- thus, forfeiting reason and consequences.
Boko Haram started with a demand unlike what is happening in the East. They began to attack police and military formations and are now fully fledged terrorist organization, however, not their making or intention. East will become worse because unknown gun men and ESN are too cowardly to show their faces or claim responsibility- giving room for easy hijacking by politicians or terror organizations of interest. Kidnappers and armed robbers will quickly step in because whatsoever happens will be attributed to unknown gun men. There is a space the security situation left- anybody can hide under unknown gun men or ESN and target preys. What a tactless action!
Boko Haram got frustrated after the killing of their leader and began to attack some parts of Northern Nigeria- unfortunately, government is functioning, allocations are flowing in, everything is moving fine except the situation of the poor masses. Unknown gun men will kill police and army; government will still be in place, allocations coming in, and the rich getting richer while the poor suffer consequences of their actions. Rivers state has declared curfew, who will suffer the consequences? The people will suffer and in the end, unknown gun men and their sister groups will find out they have all wasted their time.
Eastern Nigeria is known for peace and history has proven that any violence in the East is always strategic and towards a worthy objective. The North and West continued to envy the East because we approach things with precision. In 1967; there was violence in Eastern Nigeria and it was violence worthy of embrace. After 1970, the violence ended and we embraced peace and consequences of the violence until 1999 when Uwazurike resurrected the violence he believes can be approached peacefully. Violence must be precise and towards an objective. What I see today is sheer frustration from shameless lots.
Today; the West and North are looking at how the mentality monster has fallen. From strategic violence to self-destructing violence and there is no reshaping in sight. Nigeria is divided into three major tribes; Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo. Hausa has been facing destruct of their region while West has experienced minimal or constrained violence. Igbo is in the line and facing their horror; but there is Igbo adage that says ‘Oke soro ngwere ma mmiri, mgbe oga ako ngwere abuhi mgbe oga ako oke’ which translates- if a lizard gets drenched with a rat, when the lizard gets rid of its wet body is not when the rat will do same.
There is no senseless and time-wasting venture as making your region porous without a purpose. North is watching and licking their lips. West is laughing and rejoicing they are the one left. Government is taking advantage of it while Nnamdi Kanu is scavenging with the situation. In the end; the masses will pay and they are already paying for it. You go to Owerri and hit police station and run away; army stormes the place and kill residents. You go again to another location and raid a checkpoint; army storms and people suffer losses. What is the gain or objective?
Boko Haram are busy bombing their region while Nigeria is busy selling oil and government functioning. Unknown gun men are busy stoking flames; government is busy focusing on governance and selling oil. Nnamdi Kanu is sending out his boys to cause problems, government is still pocketing everything ‘pocket-able’. Who is losing? Nigeria did not divide because Boko Haram bombed the North and Nigeria will not divide because some boys are raiding police/army check points and stations. You can waste your time for now; later on, you will come back to the drawing board. There is only- one gateway to BIAFRA!
In contrast; economic sabotage is more reasonable than Boko and unknown gum men wasting their time for religious reason and the later for frustration. You can deal with your region the way you want; bomb it, burn it down, as long as the government is intact and flourishing, nobody cares. When you are tired; you lay down your weapons and take amnesty like it has always been. If you refuse to take amnesty, then, you can go to hell and burn to ashes as long as government is functioning and economy booming. Go and vandalize pipelines; it would be profitable.
IPOB leaders are relying on propaganda and outright falsehood to keep their followers caged and win more gullible followers to their side. This is not very different from what the same politicians they condemn and aim to replace do. Anyone who believes that the only way to retain loyalty of the people is by lying to them and conjuring all kinds of make-believe to deceive them, shouldn’t be trusted with a leadership position, even by a 100 miles.
Some original IPOB leaders have fallen out with Nnamdi Kanu and accused him of looting funds donated by sympathisers of the group, and Nnamdi Kanu arrogantly dismissed them as sellouts and saboteurs, instead of providing evidence to counter the claims of his accusers. The fugitive is so self-conceited that he doesn’t believe he owes anyone explanation over how he handles public funds left in his care. This is another evidence to show any discerning mind that Nnamdi Kanu and his goons are not better than those they said they want to replace. They may even be worst.
Most IPOB sympathizers and adherents on social media are not different from Talibans. They are extremists who would descend on anyone who tries to question the styles and decisions of their ‘Supreme Leader’. I receive threats everytime I post something that doesn’t go down well with the IPOBians. Threats of death and threats of ostracism. And this gives me more than a clear idea of the kind of society these guys are set to build, if they have the chance.
I am a Biafran, just like every true Igbo man should. But, the Biafra of Nnamdi Kanu will never come to reality and should never come to reality. That is not the Biafra for which Ojukwu depleted his father’s wealth and lost a huge part of his youth fighting for us. That’s not the Biafra for which millions of Igbo youths, children and mothers lost their lives. The Biafra of Nnamdi Kanu is a criminal enterprise with the sole object of under-developing Igboland, pushing our youths to avoidable deaths and disrupting our cultures and religious inclinations.
The ideal Biafra for which our best brains and greatest patriots came together to work for its realization from 1967-1970 is being betrayed by Nnamdi Kanu and his criminal gang of loafers. They are turning our peaceful and prosperous fatherland to a theatre of war and a desert of hunger. Businesses are suffering and investors are taking to their heels, and the truth is that we cannot continue to keep quiet and allow Igboland turn to a ghost land, where nothing works.
The idea of Biafra for which every true Igbo intellectual is ready to invest in has been distorted and hijacked by elements who could rightly be tagged terrorists. Most of them are far away beyond the shores of our land and do not care what happens to their siblings in Igboland. They are wicked, senseless and desperate felons. They are doing nothing to advance the interest of the Igbo, politically, socio-economically or educationally, but they are ready to procure ammunition with which their fellow Igbos are being killed. Yes, more than 70% of soldiers, policemen and other security operatives so far killed are Igbos. They are endangering the lives and businesses of Igbos living in the North by attacking and killing innocent suya sellers in Igbo land, by torching the businesses of Northerners living in the East. By the time, these Northerners retaliate, these wicked felons will only stay behind their internet radios in far away UK to dish out threats.
There can’t be a better way to advance the interest of the Igbo man than through economic revolution. Plough back these wealths used in destroying our lands and use same to build the economy of Igbo land to rival that of any other nation in the world. We could win independence from Nigeria without firing a single bullet, we could build the Biafran Silicon valley in Nnewi or Akokwa without having to exchange bitter words with anyone.
May we, Igbos, never be led to the slaughter table due to our genuine dissatisfaction with the prevailing structures in Nigeria. Every right thinking Igbo must speak up now to denounce the terrorism gradually taking hold in our land.
Nnamdi Kanu may have succeeded in instilling fears into a lot of us, and will even do more by targeting those who manage to speak out against him, for elimination, but we must not fail to understand that we shall all be held accountable should we keep quiet and allow a badly educated manipulator destroy our land.
A Reverend Father In charge of one Owerri Catholic Parish have stated during his Sunday sermon that Nigeria Is in a serious coma with dried oxygen.
In a sermon tagged “GOOD SHEPHERD” noted that in Nigeria bad leadership have been the main problem that must be addressed. According to him, he said “Nigeria as a country are in a serious coma with oxygen, the gas have have dried up, they keep on refilling the gas and the gas keep on drying up each time. Who is drinking up the gas, he queried?
“It is only in this country that if anything happens, the president will run away. Who is he leaving the country for?
“Boko-Haram, Fulani Herdsmen, Bandits are Killing people everyday
“Go to Enugu, they’re living in fear, here in Imo State, everyone is afraid, no one is safe anymore. We must pray against war.
“We must pray for our Leaders because, they are under captivity, we must pray for them to be example of a good shepherd”, he said.
It is either self-determination or nothing – Obinrin Oodua Agbaye
THE Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Wednesday, highlighted the importance of women in Yoruba’s strive for freedom, stating that the new twist to the agitation for self-determination is that women are now involved.
He spoke when some women from the diaspora, under the agies of Obinrin Oodua Agbaye, recently visited his palace in Ile-Ife, Osun State
The Ooni said: “Whatever you are doing that women are not involved cannot materialise. We are going nowhere if our women are not carried along and get involved. If you are married, and your wife is not happy with you, it is not going to work well with you unless the woman is not fighting you with sincerity.
“Women are not timid, they are warriors. From the Holy bible, we read how Deborah fought for her people and conquered. Moremi fought and delivered the people of Ancient Ife from the Igbomekun who were our deadly adversaries. Therefore, women are key to our struggle for self-determination and we must carry them along, going forward.
“We will support our women and we are happy they are taking up the battle and picking up the guanlets. Again, I want to say very expressly that If we fail to have the support of our women folks, we are going nowhere. Therefore, I welcome you to the source and I wish you well in your visit to other palaces in Yoruba Nation.”
It is either self-determination or nothing – Obinrin Oodua Agbaye
Led by their leader and Secretary-General, Princess Simisade Kuku-Onayemi and Dr Owowunmi Babalola-Okocha respectively, the women said the gods in Yoruba land have mandated them to commence spiritual measures that will lead to the prompt actualisation of Yoruba Nation without bloodshed, hence, their visit to their fatherland.
Omowumi noted that said the gods mandated them to conduct some spiritual measures in the palaces of Ooni of Ife, Alaafin of Oyo, Osemawe of Ondo, Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Obaro of Kabba, Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Oloffa of Offa and Awujale of Ijebu Land respectively.
Kuku-Onayemi said: “All of us that you are seeing here today are top-notch Professionals. We have Medical Doctors, Lawyers, Chartered Accountants, Engineers, Development Experts, Journalists, Academic Dons, top Bankers and Enterpreneurs among us. Majority of us are working at blue-ship public and private organizations.”
Corroborating her leader, Babalola-Okocha said: “Upon consultations, we were mandated by gods to visit the palaces of Ooni of Ife, Alaafin of Oyo, Osemawe of Ondo, Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Oloffa of Offa, Obaro of Kabba and Awujale of Ijebu Land to carry out some spiritual measures that we cannot mention details in public hence our visit to the Oduduwa Source.
“When we are done with our consultations and prayers, the people of Yoruba Nation shall be surprised at the rate by which the Yoruba Nation shall come into reality without any bloodshed. It shall be amazing and the world shall be shocked.”
In his remarks, leader of Alana of Ilana Omo Oodua, Emeritus Professor Banji Akintoye, who led the women to Ooni’s palace, described the action of the women as a powerful declaration showing the departure of Yoruba land from Nigeria.
He said: “Our women who gave birth to us have spoken. They have declared and the heaven has heard. What they have started is a powerful declaration showing the departure of Yoruba Nation from Nigeria.”
Arraign Him In Court If He’s Still Alive – BIG President
April 13, 2021
Ralph Uwazuruike
By Emmanuel Nnadi, Owerri
Tension is brewing in Onitsha among the members of Chief Ralph Uwazuruike- led movement for actualization of sovereign state of Biafra ( BIM-MASSOB) following the rumoured death of Mr. Ikechukwu Ajah, in police custody in Onitsha, Anambra- state.
Ikechukwu Ajah was arrested on sunday 21st March along Obodoukwu road, Nkutaku, Ogbaru LGA, for wearing a T-shirt with the inscription ‘ United States of Biafra’ and since then had been detained without trial at the area command’s headquarters, Onitsha .
According to the groups Chief welfare officer for Anambra North , Mr. Kenneth Aririka who briefed the press in a statement said Ikechukwu Ajah died of severe torture inflicted on him by the police while trying to force him to admit a membership of the proscribed indigenous people of Biafra’, IPOB.
Aririka said several attempts made by his counsel and relatives of the detained BIM- MASOB member at the central police station, CPS, Onitsha, with a view to securing his bail yielded no results.
” Policemen prevented us to see our member who had being kept incommunicado since March 21. We got to Area commander for Onitsha, Mr. John Obuagbuaka but he ignored our team who visited his office”
Reacting to the rumoured death of Mr. Ikechukwu Ajah in police Custody, Biafra’ director of information and senior special assistant to president of internal government, Elder Chris Mocha demanded for his immediate release if he was still alive.
Mocha said Ikechukwu Ajah is a member of the internationally recognized non – violent organization that is campaigning for Biafra through peaceful means and does not believe in violent agitation. Mocha wondered why the police had chosen to torture Mr. Ikechukwu to death even after it was clearly established to the commissioner of police that he belonged to Uwazuruike’s BIM-MASSOB
The Biafra Internal Government Yesterday Warns every Criminal Elements in the state to leave or face the music.
The Government made their position known immediately after their security meeting in Biafra Seat Of Power, Owerri yesterday April 12, 2021. In a meeting that was presided over by the Prime Minister of Biafra Federation, His Excellency, Chief Chinedu Amaifeobu and was attended by the Minister for Planning and Strategy, Chief Dr Larry Odinmah, The Minister for Information, Chief Samuel Njoku, The Minister for Works and Housing, Mr. James Ezeani and all the Chief Ministers of various States in Biafraland and their Security Chiefs.
Briefing the press Immediately after their meeting, Chief Larry Odinmah who is the Minister for Planning and Strategy thanked the Eastern Governors for their newly launched Security Outfit Called ‘Ebubeagu’ and also pleaged that they will work with every legally created security architectures in Nigeria and Biafra to restore sanity in the land.
He warned Everyone tormenting trouble in the land to desist henceforth or get ready to face the music.
“We will Protect everyone in our land including the peaceful Hausa/Fulani and every other tribes in our land because our people are also in their land carrying out their legitimate business.
“We encourage other people to come and invest in our land but what we can’t tolerate is criminality in any form.
“Those that are destabilising our land and their sponsors are advised to stop now or get ready for us.
“We are non violent and Biafra Sovereignty must be achieved through non Violence.
“Those Killer Fulani Herdsmen that Attacked and killed our People in Ebonyi State, OKIGWE in Imo State, Enugu State, Anambra State, Delta State and other Biafran State should know that no one have monopoly of Violence.
“We have Directed our security Chiefs to arrest them immediately and hand them over to the police as we will not take laws into our hands, he stated.
As the cries and agitations for break up of Nigeria from the ethnic groups in the country have taken a great and positive dimensions including with the recent force majeure on Nigeria 1999 constitution.
The 2nd administration of Biafra internal government leaders at their emergency meeting at Biafra seat of power, Owerri discussed intensively on the awareness of Biafra international passport and resolved that now is the best opportunity to make provisions for Biafrans to have access to Biafra international passport.
The Director of Biafra International Passport, Prof. (Chief) Maduabuchi K.S.N who addressed Biafra media reporters after the emergency meeting on 12th of April, that the Biafra internal government has ordered Biafrans both home and diaspora to come for their international passport because it will be one of the most important forms of identification a Biafran can possess. It is important to have a passport if you plan to travel to a different country so that you will be able to prove who you are and where you are from. And Since travel security measures have increased in the whole world, it is almost impossible to travel without a passport.
Prof. (Chief) Maduabuchi K.S.N is a trained Business Administrator who majored in accountancy and business development said that the Biafra internal government based their decisions on the recent reports from the vice president of Nigeria, Osinbajo warning that Visa Will Be Needed To Kano If Nigeria Breaks Up.
Osinbajo said this while delivering his speech virtually at the 12th Bola Tinubu Colloquium in commemoration of Tinubu’s 69th birthday in Kano as he advised those calling for Nigeria to break up to have a rethink, adding that if Nigeria does break, they may need visas to travel to places like Kano.
And also the statement of father of Biafra nation, chief (Dr.) Ralph Uwazuruike when he hosted the leaders of Biafra De Facto Customary Government and the De Biafra Mobilizers Initiative at Biafra seat of power, Owerri.
Uwazuruike clearly told his guests that Biafra is now an independent nation saying that, I quote: “What we have not gotten is sovereignty but sooner or later, we shall be grateful to have our borders where foreigners will come to our borders, our security men will ask then where is your passport and when they bring it, our immigration officers will stamp it ‘welcome to Biafra ‘”.
Since foreigners will need their passports to enter Biafra borders, so Biafrans will also need their passports to enter other countries borders which is used to verify one’s country of citizenship. For those that will be traveling outside Biafra country, it will be used to regain entry into Biafra country as a citizen, Prof. Maduabuchi said.
When queried by Biafra internal government national reporter, comrade Ijeomah Anthony on criteria how Biafrans can have access for the passports and locations for application of it; he said that the issuance of the Biafran International Passport is open to all Biafrans, whoever wants or desires to obtain it.
On locations, We have our consulate office in Lagos: The Temple of peace, No 22, Ajijedidun St, Agunlejika St Ijeshatedo, LAGOS. Those in Diaspora can reach our Diaspora representatives across the globe.
In Biafra land, any one who wishes to obtain the passport is free to reach out to our Zonal (State) and Regional Offices throughout Biafra Land. They should pay the required fee as may be applicable to him/her, obtain the application forms, fill them out and return same for issuance of the passport if found to be qualified after due investigations.
Finally, he added that the department is presently in the process of digitalising both the features of the passport itself and the process of its issuance and applications.
I was so occupied that I couldn’t follow up the exaggerated world press conference. When the funny world press conference with one Mr Nnamdi Kanu was announced; I thought I would follow the press conference on any world news website, to my greatest surprise, not even a local media syndicate aired the so-called world press conference. I mean no disrespect but stating the fact. Sir, do not be discouraged to read down and enjoy this letter; irrespective of my blunt observation.
You are a great man but lack wisdom or simply put; you have penchant for self aggrandizement and razzmatazz. You want a local publicity or an opportunity to join the train of fund raising. As an educated man; all you could do in your capacity as a factional Ambazonian leader was to stoop so low to have a press conference with a man that was disgraced by ECOWAS court as having no mandate to represent the people of Biafra. In other words; Mr Nnamdi Kanu is not a legitimate leader of Biafra and cannot legally represent Biafra in any legitimate place around the world by virtue of the ECOWAS ruling. So; razzmatazz was all you cared for. Press conference to announce historic alliance; did you take your time to listen to your press conference over again?
Africa has a problem and people like you add to that problem; inability to reason, although you are not a lawyer but I expected you to be guided by a legal representative. You reduced the significance of everything Ambazonia has achieved by meeting an illegitimate figure who has no regional backing or even the backing of Biafrans agitating for independent state. Sir; let me remind you, ECOWAS ruled that Mr Nnamdi Kanu has no mandate to represent Biafra because he was not appointed by anybody. The scammer you met fraudulently announced himself the supreme leader of IPOB after he hijacked the radio handed over to him to anchor as a media personality. I am not disclosing this for you to pity yourself but for the faction of Ambazonians you lead to see the disgrace you are. A man considered persona non grata, what a foolish move!
I love to speak truth and also to be critical of below per attitude. Biafra is struggling and fighting for her freedom but Ambazonia has shown more determination than us. In this circumstance; you should be meeting EU, ECOWAS, AU, UN and other international organizations to broker referendum or find help. You coming to Biafra to hold a press conference for public stunt is laughable. I know you might feel offended but Sir; what did you achieve after the press conference? World press conference with your fellow victim, you are funny.
Let me lecture you Sir; common sense is not often found in education, you can gain knowledge, but you need more of yourself and divine gift to possess common sense. Press conference happens after internally or privately brainstorming on a subject. You only come out to address the media and tell the world what they should expect or as you fielded questions. I read where you were ranting how freedom is in our hands and clearly possessed by the spirit of rant. Birds of a feather flock together; if you don’t take care, you will see yourself ranting and lying everyday to your faction in Ambazonia to remain relevant or deceive them to contribute defense fund or ESN fund raising you would use to meet your secretary for copulate pleasure.
Sir; you can stop insulting the sensibility of the faction of the Ambazonians you represent; take your time and find a way to meet people that matter in the world and hold press conference with them if that is your problem. Sorry; you held press conference with one Mr Nnamdi Kanu and not the people of Biafra and any day we see you near Biafra matter, you will tell us if we have any business with you. Biafra will happily seek understanding with Ambazonia but not exclusively with any faction but entire people of Ambazonia.
I was disappointed over the week after reading a disclaimer; thankfully, on behalf of the people of Biafra and in my capacity as a journalist that have defended my people in truth and fairness, I wish to inform you that we have no business with you but Ambazonian people as a whole. Let me also remind you; because I can understand you just arrived. In 2016; all pro-Biafran groups called a meeting with all pro-Ambazonian groups to iron out things and devise a way to be helpful, but the traitor you had a non-existent world press conference sabotaged it. Unfortunately; you have wasted your time because we are republic of Biafra and not supreme (leadership) Biafra. Go home and sleep with your wife and maybe; start perambulating on another world press conference with another persona non grata. You can as well open a radio station and enjoy what you came here to enjoy. Madness is a choice!
