Biafra: International Community, Foreign Observers To Monitor Sit-at-home-Ipob by frankdoz23: 7:05am On May 16, 2017
Pro-Biafra group, the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, has claimed that the international
community and other foreign observers have
been delegated to monitor the May 30 sit-at-
home order it declared in honour of fallen
heroes of Biafra during the civil war between
1967 and 1970.


The IPOB said there would be total restriction of
movement because the international community
and foreign observers would be in Biafraland
with their media team to ascertain if the people
of Biafra were ready for the upcoming
referendum for Biafra sovereignty.
In a statement by the Media and Publicity
Secretary of the group, Emma Powerful, IPOB
said under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu it
remained a peaceful and non-violent
organisation in the history of freedom fighting
across the globe.


It said this will continue following the rules
provided by the United Nations Charter for the
rights of the indigenous people.
IPOB said, “We are advising Biafrans, both home
and abroad to observe the remembrance day
celebration of our fallen heroes and heroines
who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our people to
live today in Nigeria.

“The May 30 sit-at-home and remembrance day
celebration will be a remarkable event in the
history of Biafra.
“We are going to maintain the peaceful
approach in pursuit of our freedom from Nigeria.
The Biafra liberation movement is sacrosanct
and we are waxing stronger both at home and
diaspora and will not go back in the quest for
the restoration of Biafra.
“Anybody who is thinking to sabotage the
struggle is doing that at his or her own
detriment, the conditional bail attached to our
leader was to cage him and to dampen the high
spirits of IPOB family members worldwide,”
Powerful stated.


They however, frowned at the continued
detention of Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin
Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi, Bright Chimezie,
George Onyeibe and other members in different
Nigeria prisons in Igweocha in River State, Delta
State, Anambra State, Akwa Ibom State, Abia
State and Abuja.
“We blame the judicial commission and Attorney
General of the Federation for allowing Justice
Binta Nyako to continue messing up the judicial
system in Nigeria.
“The Attorney General of the Federation should
have dropped all the concocted and fabricated
charges preferred against our leader, Nnamdi
Kanu and others remanded in prison to save
their image in the face of the international
community.
“It is very appalling that a well trained judge like
Justice Binta Nyako would allow herself and the
court to be used to bar Kanu from exercising his
fundamental human rights.


“However, the continued detention of these
people in different prisons and DSS secret cells
across the country remained the weakness on
the side of the Judicial Commission and
Attorney General of the Federation.
“It is very abnormal that the Judicial Service
Commission and judiciary in Nigeria that
suppose to be the last hope for the common
man would turn themselves to be problem for
the masses.
“With the judgment on April 25, 2017 banning
our leader from speaking to the press and
staying with more than 10 persons, proves to
the world that the judiciary in Nigeria is where
truth can never prevail.
“According to the information reaching us, those
our members detained in different prisons and
secret cells across the country are no more
safe, almost all of them are sick without proper
medical attention, especially those in Kuje
prison.


“We are calling for their immediate release to
enable them take proper medical treatment
because we will not take it easy with anybody if
anything happens to any of our members in
detention anywhere in the country.
“We are calling on men and women of good
conscience across the globe, Amnesty
International and relevant human rights
organisations to prevail on the Attorney General
of the Federation and the Judicial Service
Commission to drop the concocted and
fabricated charges preferred against our leader
Nnamdi Kanu and others detained illegally
alongside him in Kuje Prison because they
committed no offence against anybody or
Nigeria.
“The injustice against the people of Biafra in
Nigeria are numerous to mention, IPOB, under
the leadership of Kanu have decided to fight it
to a standstill.
“Of course, many are aware that this is a
project of God Almighty (Chukwu Okike Abiama)
which IPOB embarked upon to liberate our
people from the shackles of bondage.” http://dailypost.ng/2017/05/16/biafra-international-community-foreign-observers-monitor-sit-home-ipob/

That's what your parents told you...but as you can see it is not dead. Civil disobedience like, sit out home, is part of conditions by the UN, EU and other agencies that point to the evidence of indigenous people fighting for sovereignty and independence. It is very legal. The institutions have stated that arm struggle WILL NOT be supported. If you analyse it further, you would see why IPOB, MASSOB, BZM, BIM, BYM and other groups have not resorted to arms struggle and terror, despite being killed, when unarmed by the security forces...I hope I have educated you this morning...bro.

Invitation to Anarchy. If this is not corruption and lawlessness what is it? How can a house or at most a community, constitute itself a Law above the entire Nation. This is exactly what an Eze did in The Palace of The Deji of Akure before he was humiliatingly thrown out by Omode Owas. Can't The Minister of Justice stop this nonsence sit at home demonstration? Anyone absent from work to be permanently sacked and any office or factories in sympathy be sealed and the foreign observers be scrutinised to know who in Nigeria invited them to come? Bokoharam is bad. Fulani Herdsmen is worse but the worst of them now is this madness called Biafra that cannot find a constitutional peaceful means of getting what they want. And yet the Ibos are everywhere, in Sokoto, Maiduguri, Kano, Lagos, Akure, in their socalled Afonja Territory etcetra etcetra. What a greed! What a satanic spirit!
