I thinks it's time for the national assembly to ammend the constitution and declare seccession an act of treason punishable by firing squad angry Any one supporting biafra should be sentenced to death or fed to lions. This will gradually kill the evil ideology called Biafra. We hate biafra and it shall never come. The buratai military should invade the east and do the needful undecided
I will only support this move when national Assembly includes the killing of who ever supports Palestine and Morocco succession

He would have achieved more by ignoring them.
With these acts he is buying more sympathy leading up to something more embarrassing. But then the army and its products are not known for using their brains

Nonsense !
Why did you suspend the Yeye ideology during Jonathan govt and took on the chop-sand ideology
You only remember you have an ideology call Biafra when Jonathan lost
You are only deceiving yourselves


Who suspended what ? Massob has been there b4 Jonathan. Igbos voted Obj, Yaradua(buhari's brother) and Gej. Ur question should be, why its escalation with Buhari's govt. Answer is, Buhari said they won't get much from his administration in other words they are not full citizens of Nigeria. Do u expect us to remain in Nigeria and not seek where we will be 100 percent citizens ? Don't tell me u wud humbly accept a slave position when one makes it clear that he is against u being free in any way. A sane person wud have proclaimed dat he wud run an all inclusive govt, but no, he told us plain not to xpect favour from him. Is he a god ?

Newspaper vendors in Aba, Abia State, are counting their losses following the confiscation of their wares by soldiers yesterday.

The Nation gathered that the confiscated papers were both unsold and new editions of New Republic, Vesym, Freedom Journal and Authority.

Sources said the soldiers, believed to have come from 144 Battalion, which is under Ohafia 14 Brigade, stormed St. Michael’s Road at about 7am, in two Hilux vans and seized the papers bearing Biafra reports.

After attempts at arresting distributors and publishers failed, the soldiers packed the unsold and current editions of the papers and left.

A vendor said: “At about some minutes past seven, soldiers in two Hilux vans arrived with one of the vendors that they picked along Mosque, asking him to point at the person who gave him the paper. But the vendor could not, because the person who gave him the paper had gone.

“They asked to know the publishers or suppliers but got no response. Then they confiscated New Republic, Vesym, Freedom Journal and some copies of The Authority, which carried Biafra stories. “We are yet to be told the reason for the confiscation, but the truth is that we have lost money as many readers were disappointed.”

A publisher, who pleaded for anonymity, condemned the action of the soldiers. He said they were overstepping their bounds and vowed that “attempts by the military to gag the press will fail. We are publishing reports about Biafra like other national dailies do. Let them close down all the media houses because they are carrying Biafra stories, after all, we are not the only ones publishing stories on Biafra.”

Media Officer of the 144 Brigade, Major Sydney Mbanefo could not be reached for comments but a source at 144 Battalion confirmed the seizure, saying it was due to the hate and inciting reports allegedly being published by the papers.

The source added that they were on the trail of the publishers and suppliers with the aim of nipping circulation of such inciting materials. He warned vendors to desist from selling such publication.

A Non-Governmental Organisation and Civil Rights group, Foundation for Environmental Rights Advocacy and Development, in a statement yesterday condemned the action. It described it as anti-democracy.

The statement by Comrades Nelson Nwafor and Emmanuel Acha said soldiers have no right to confiscate newspapers, no matter what is published, except on the orders of a competent court. It called on the Chief of Army Staff to call the soldiers to order before they take laws into their hands.

“Nigeria is not a banana republic and therefore, the principles of democracy, as practiced elsewhere, should be respected.”

....in a system of government of people by the people for the people, who has the responsibility of defending the nation, the nation is the victime of looters, the nation is the victim of the criminal, the nation is the victim of terrorist, the nation is the victim of economics saboteur, the nation is the victim of oil pipe line vandal, the nation is the victim of kidnaping, the nation is the victim of fulani herdsmen, the nation is the victim of ipob/massob, the nation is victim of fuel black market the nation is the victim of the forex $ hike price, the nation is the victim of the price specuator & manipulator...etc
Beside president muhammadu Buhari action to defend the nation:
1.The war against bokoharam and other insurgency in the eastern part of nigeria is defeatable , with galant soldiers under the order of marksman general, the commandant in chief of african arm forces, General buhari had berated the iss of africa...with galant sodiers and sophisticated weapon the terrorist had been pull down!
2.The war against corruption looting and the looters is the second fronts, the battle is not all that easy the general has the determination but fighting corruption with unredoutable weapon like judiciary arms, is not easy to operate infront of devilish looters with their advocates and distinguish honourable senators and opposition party! but God so good with the determination of general and full backing of the international community, the war is 'bell et bien' in full stage!
3.The third war which will commence soon is on the economics saboteurs, a war that general think ,with broom they will be easyly sweep into dust-bin but even the rake seems not be effective enough to rake them, now general had determined to bulldoze them into the pit!
when the three war won, nigeria will be worth living for the poor masses!
who is to defend the nation while senators and law practitional rally round a criminal accuse!
who is to defend the nation while humman right watch turn to terrorist(bokoharam) right watch!
who is to defend the nation while student union, labour congress, human right activists, legal practitional support or mute and powerless in the face of looter and say nothing about the looted fund!
who is to defend the nation while NL support the looters!

I guess this fools think that would surpress Biafra. I swear Buhari and APC are bunch of idiots. Last I checked, every news article on those papers, Radio Biafra post it on the INTERNET. Even their radio shows is on INTERNET. Hell I don't even live in ABA or anywhere in igboland or Africa yet I get every news about Biafra. What's next? You'll take their phone from them. Oya go shut down the Internet.

More reason I laugh at the pathetic shit they call a "country". I've never seen a joke of government more that that zoo. Even Somalia government is smarter than that shit

Attention!!!!! Attention!!!!!
Information reaching Us now is that the reason the Nigeria zoo army have invaded Aba to seize any newspaper that carry Biafra stories is because the IPOB BIAFRA TELEGRAPH International magazine 1st Edition that was release some days now . The Biafra Telegraph is being distributed round the world and most government bodies , UK MPS And American senator and other world leaders will all get the copies .
It is another Tsunami that Nigeria and Buhari government cannot survive because anybody who gets hold of the Biafra Telegraph will pray for Nigeria to go it's separate way the next day.
Contact your co-ordinator on how to get some copies. Is Biafra against Nigeria . We shall win at last .
All hail Biafra!!!!!!!
