Most of the people calling ipob a terrorist group are islamists irredentists that know how their religion of piss have sunk so they are looking for people to go down with them.
These irredentists are shameless, some appear with southern names but when you to their terror thread you will see where they are slamming their forehead on ground cheesy cheesy grin grin grin

So pmb is not controlling the judiciary again? As alleged.

Igbos are terrorist

Full stop

Since some of their pleads borders on international laws and United Nation Charter, to which Nigeria is a signatory....Nigeria Judiciary & Buhari doesn't have the last say.

The big question is, if the current administration will obey and implement any contrary international order on this case. If they don't, it gives IPOB more legitimacy internationally and paints the Nigerian government as the bad act in this whole hullabaloo.

Open another thread for that and let's discuss that one there, at least you now know the meaning of a terrorist and why IPOB falls into that ignoble group.
Nigeria hasn't called Al Qaeda, Hamas, ISIS etc as terrorist groups, they are terrorists to others but we are indifferent to them. The western world might be indifferent to IPOB but it's a terrorist group under Nigerian law
Without using disparaging or derogatory word, your ignorance is alarming.. Could you hear how stupid you sound trying to defend defenseless Nigeria.. Your type is why we are dubbed gulible citizens who swallow everything handed down to us by our leaders. So, in your right reasoning, you are convinced that IPOB is a terrorist group.? SMH..

I know what am talking about. No country have a monology on the word 'terrorist'.

Nigeria is a signatory to many international laws and also United Nation charter and before those signatures were accepted, they are usually passed into law by the Nigerian Senate & the House just like every other bill that stipulates how Nigeria is to be governed, and then signed into law by the President.

A Nation does not only draw her laws from the constitution, otherwise we will not have use for the Senate & House, as the Courts pretty much know what the constitution says and how to apply it. The Senate & House are there to promogate and accept additional laws, including international laws, treaties and charters along with domestic laws.

If Nigeria signed an international treaty, law or charter, they are obligated to obey it and any aggrieved party can sue Nigeria before an international arbitrator, if they are not satisfied with the outcomes of the case from Nigeria judiciary and their terms of reference is the violation of an international law, charter or treaty.

If the party wins monetarily, he/she can successfully enforce the order against Nigeria foreign accounts or properties.

Hmmmm, Scam journalism highlighted.

IPOB is not for only people of Igbo extraction.

Afonja writers take note: the non-Igbo groups in the oil-producing SS WILL NEVER AGREE to remain with an Islamic country of SW and Northern Nigeria without Biafra.

The group stated that contrary to the Federal Government’s contention painting it as a violent organisation, it was a non-violent group operating within the confines of domestic and international laws in agitating for self-determination for the people of Igbo extraction.

After IPOB is done wasting its time and little resources that Nnamdi kanu hasn't squandered yet, they will finally rest because they have been proscribed.


Every Igbo, including the SE governors and Ohaneze leaders support Biafra restoration.

Let your president and his Fulani cohorts continue with use of Nigeria armed forces and the courts to perpetrate injustice and illegality.

Biafra shall come with surprise to you all.

After all, Nigeria's 1999 constitution was supervised under military rule of northern soldiers and not subjected to any referendum.



Therefore, Nigeria's 1999 constitution is not binding on any referendum on Biafra restoration.

The proscribed Indigenous People People of Biafra on Monday justified its agitation for Igbo’s self-determination.

It maintained in a paper it filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday that the Federal Government fraudulently obtained the order proscribing it and designating it as a terrorist group.

The group stated that contrary to the Federal Government’s contention painting it as a violent organisation, it was a non-violent group operating within the confines of domestic and international laws in agitating for self-determination for the people of Igbo extraction.

The Acting Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Abdu Kafarati, who made the proscription order on September 21, 2017, will today (Tuesday) hear IPOB’s motion challenging the court order.

A lawyer in IPOB’s legal team, Prince Umegborogu, who deposed to a further affidavit filed in support of the group’s motion challenging the court’s proscription order, described the group as a freedom fighter for the Igbo.

The further affidavit read in part, “That the respondent/applicant has been operating strictly within the confines of constitutional frameworks, and international covenants.

“That the respondent/applicant’s members are ethnic nationality-based group, genuinely and non-violently agitating for self-determination and doing so relying on the full principles of self-determination.

“That the respondent/applicant represents a group of recognised freedom fighters, for the rescue of the Igbo race from undisguised and obvious repression, marginalisation, disrespect and ridicule as second-class citizens.

“That demonstration towards the realisation of the right to self-determination is recognised as Fundamental Rights in International Law and the United Nations Charter.”

The group stated that it had never killed any person contrary to the Federal Government’s allegation.

It stated that the huge crowds its rallies often drew had never been shown to carry weapons.

It also added that the Federal Government had grossly misinterpreted its activities as amounting to the intimidation of the whole nation.

IPOB, through its lead counsel, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, had filed the further affidavit, after receiving the Federal Government’s counter-affidavit opposing the group’s application seeking the discharge of the proscription order issued against it.

Justice Kafarati had on September 21, 2017, issued the proscription order upon an ex parte application by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN).

But in a motion filed by the group before the same judge on September 22, the group contended that the proscription order was unconstitutional.

The motion was anchored on 13 grounds, first of which was that the proscription order was made without jurisdiction “as the order was granted against an entity unknown to law.”

The AGF office subsequently filed a counter-affidavit justifying the proscription order of court.

But in its further affidavit filed on Monday, the group stated that allegations levelled against its leader, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, by the Federal Government to justify the proscription order were false.


http://punchng.com/court-hears-Igbos-application-against-proscription-today/
Human rights activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Festus Keyamo has taunted the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, over its announcement that it had sacked Nnamdi Kanu as director of Radio Biafra.

Keyamo wondered why IPOB, who had alleged that Kanu was killed by Nigerian army, was still announcing his removal ‘in the grave’.

DAILY POST reports that Radio Biafra upon resumption on Monday announced through one Ifeoma Okorafor that the radio was restructuring.

She announced that, “Mazi Nnamdi Nwanekaenyi Kanu, the former Director of Radio Biafra is hereby dismissed and removed as Director of Radio Biafra following extensive and intensive consultations”

“Kanu’s actions and his decisions to incite members of IPOB towards violence leading to the death of many innocent young people in Onitsha, Aba and Umuahia is totally unacceptable and grossly irresponsible.

“Kanu privately collected £14 million and another $22 million to purchase landed properties abroad in his name and that of his father, Igwe Israel Kanu, in a clear case of ‘monkey dey work baboon dey chop’.”

Reacting, however, Keyamo rhetorically asked if Biafra was now a zoo.

He tweeted, “So, after IPOB earlier claimed the Army killed Kanu, did they wake him from d grave to ask him questions over allegations against him before sacking him as their leader? Or did they sack him without hearing from him? Would that not be the style of animals in a zoo? Is Biafra now a zoo?”

Infact that notion is haram in Islam and is called Assabiya

It is only born slaves relapse in their bondage, servitude and slavery. like other zoogerians from the west, middle belt, even south who has resigned into themselves hausa-fulani slaves because of fear of death and crumbs from the masters table. They are now tools to be used and dumped. How is Benue(Paul Unongo- Arewa elder), Plateau state(Gowon, Jerry Useni etc), Taraba(T.Y.Danjuma etc). Their people are been murdered, killed, massacred and pushed from the family land and yey they cant talk,protest. How can slaves (Hausa baniza) talk or protest when the master decides to kill them or forcefully take their young girls as wives and concubines. Just live igbos allow alone, let us die in our foolishness rather than being slaves.

How can you tag a group that have no Muslim among them a terror group.
The entire world know that ipob is not a terrorist group and before a terror group will emerge there must be high concentration of Muslims among them.

I repeat must people that call ipob terrorists group are just looking for person to go down with them.

Ipob is not a terrorist group, all Muslims are not terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims.

Do a background check of those calling ipob a terrorist group and you will understand their sent
