IPOB reveals new date for Biafra referendum

4 hours ago

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared February 16, 2019 date for a referendum to ascertain number of Nigerians who want a separate Biafra republic through a peaceful and democratic process.


A statement by IPOB spokesman, Comrade Emma Powerful, on Monday, said the referendum would run simultaneously with the 2019 presidential election.

It maintained that the relocation of IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to the United Kingdom from his base in Israel was actually to perfect arrangements for the referendum.


The statement reads: “Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is currently meeting with IPOB high command in Europe to perfect plans for the referendum which will go side by side with the February 16 presidential poll.

“IPOB leader and other top IPOB high command are expected to meet with European Union ( EU) officials to gather more international support for the Biafra proposal.

“Recently Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had been holding “useful talks” with a number of diplomats on a successful referendum bids for Biafra on 16 February 2019, and we can assure you that majority of them have given their assurances and the proposal has received a tremendous support from many key allies who see self determination for Biafra as the best solution to the present Nigeria problem.


“The details and out come of the referendum on Saturday 16th February will determine the position of Biafra people in the coming weeks.

“The test will be side by side with Nigeria presidential election next month to examine how many people boycotted the forthcoming presidential election.

“On the format of the referendum, the planned boycott of the forthcoming presidential election would be a barometer to measure those who want Biafra and those who want to remain in Nigeria.

“The success of the sit-at-home order during the presidential poll in Biafra land will be a confirmation that Biafra is no longer under the bondage of one Nigeria.

“The truth is that by the time Nigeria will wake from the looming political crisis she will only discover that Biafra is already a sovereign nation.

“We are sure for peaceful and rancour free referendum because international observers and media platforms will be on ground to monitor the exercise on that day.

“It is important we remind Nigerians once again that the on-going political developments in the country only confirm that Nigeria cannot work together as one country and Biafra must be a sovereign nation.”

Rubbish! Nonsense! IPOB brain-dead people!

BIAFRA IS DEAD!

IF and when ibgos leave Nigeria, the state should never be called BIAFRA!

it's a stigmatized name.

Re: Breaking!!! IPOB Announces Biafra REFERENDUM Date by otipoju(m): 5:40am On Jan 29, 2019
I still strongly believe that Nnamdi Kanu was released by the Nigerian Army on the orders of Buhari and flown to Israel and finally London for this very purpose.

To get a sizeable number of Ibos not to vote and thereby reduce the number of votes for PDP in the eastern states.

The narrative that Nnamdi escaped on the night the army invaded his fathers compound is just pure "sobo".

From detention, Nnamdi would of course jump at the offer of freedom because it serves his interest - seccession of Biafra. Buhari too would use Nnamdi to achieve his aim of a second term but if Nnamdi ever sets foot in Nigeria after the election if Buhari wins...they would finish him once and for all.

The timing of his sudden appearance
( Atiku announced Obi as running mate on October 12, Nnamdi resurfaced in Israel on October 19 )and his first message to IPOB to boycott elections gave their action away as a knee jerk reaction to Atikus choice of an Igbo VP.

You are a very shameless liar and ignoramus exposing your lack of knowledge in a very shameless manner.
So when Nnamdi Kanu ordered election boycott in Anambra state, it was because of Peter Obi and Atiku? Do you see you change the narratives, telling lies without conscience. This is why your hope for a better ZOO Nigeria will always be a lost one. You keep praying for a better Nigeria and it keeps getting worse by the day, cursed people

Mr twister. You have just stated your shallow reasoning. Nnamdi Kanu doesn't care about zoo politics who wins or not, what matters to him is biafra actualization.

Fool without education and logical reasoning. In 2015, igbos voted 95 percent against Buhari yet he still won the election and even defeated an incumbent president. What now makes you think Buhari needs to disfranchise us in other to defeat Atiku?

And your small sized brain equally believes Nnamdi Kanu will use holy and a no nonsense country like Israel to scam people. Is that how lowly you think of the holy land of Israel ?

Your problem is lack of proper education and inexposure. Confused Zoo citizen.

Be not in a rush to call someone a fool.
In 2015, Public opinion was on the side of Buhari and Nigerians wanted Jonathan out so there was no threat that Jonathan would split northern votes.

And what has Holy land got to do with what we are saying?

Atiku is fulani like Buhari
Kwankwaso is PDP now so Kano votes will split right down the middle unlike in 2015.

So the circumstances are different. Stop and think

Do you think at all?

Of course Kanu does not wish Nigeria well.

I said it is in Kanus interest to be set free so as to continue his agitation for Biafra so he has nothing to loose and plenty to gain if Igbos do vote in February which is also to Buharis advantage in recucing the number of votes PDP can amass in the east.

Stop frothing at the mouth and use your brain.

With your chicken brain you dont know that there is bound to be a difference between people voting enmasse for your opponent and them not voting at all. Let me help you to think a bit.
__________________________________________________
Scenario A : If people come out to vote as they should.

Assume there are 120 Registered voters and 100 people actually vote.

If 95 vote for PDP and 5 for vote for APC this is an excellent outcome for PDP
__________________________________________________
Scenario B: If majority people sit at home and boycott the election due to Kanu/IPOB influence

Assume there are 120 registered voters and only 25 people come out to vote

If 24 vote for PDP and only 1 person votes for APC,
_____________________________________________________
...tell me which party this situation will favour

4 votes lost by APC compared to 71 votes lost by PDP.

Please Bro think before typing you hear.

We IPOB members got the message.

Since IPOB High Command cannot cancel election boycott, they moved the referendum to Feb 16th. This means, no sitting at home again.

FailBuhari 16th, no going back on our 6 million votes for Atiku.
