The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has alleged that prolonged burials, man-made mostly monetary conditions from the bereaved families, traditional rites, churches and Umunna’ are behind the problems bedevilling South-East states.
The pro-Biafra group in a statement issued by Emma Powerful, the head of media and publicity of the IPOB on Wednesday told Ndigbo to restrict the burial rites to three days so as to avert the negative consequences.


The group regretted that Ndigbo had ‘turned burial into a carnival and asking families to pay levies or debt for their dead ones’, adding that such practice ‘is an abomination and must be stopped forthwith.

IPOB however exempted corpses under police investigations/litigations from quick burial.

The statement read in part, “Our ancestors were burying their dead ones within three days. That is our culture and it helped our ancestors spiritually. Igbos have a very rich and spiritually-based culture which our ancestors maintained from the beginning of time.

“The present habit of keeping dead bodies more than three days and even months and years in the mortuary has had dire effects on our land and contributed to the spiritual weakness of the Igbo Nation and of the entire Biafraland, moral decadence and all manner of evil that have taken root in our land.


“Now that IPOB has come to realise that this alien practice of keeping the dead on land rather than committing it to mother earth has had a very negative impact on our people and upon our land, it has therefore become very imperative to urge our people to revert to the old practices that had very positive effects upon our well-being, both spiritually and otherwise.

“After some thorough investigation, we have come to the realisation that all the reasons given by our people which caused the unnecessary delay in burying our dead within a short period are neither cogent nor important enough.”

IPOB should rather fight death in other to prevent Igbos from dying hence averting this nonesense....but I guess Emma Powerful is very Powerless to do that

Rubbish!!!

As if the Burial of Nnamdi Kanu’s Parents was not a huge Carnival

IPOB are the Mother’s and Father’s of Moral Decadence in the East

IPOB even revived Cannibalism by mentoring their members on the eating of dead Corpses of their Murdered Victims

IPOB must have stolen the Speach from one of their unfortunate Victims

and after eating his body they must have thought it was a good idea to publish his speech which they

May have found in his pocket

It is because of Igbos evil activities that the Mortuaries in the SE are full of dead bodies

Emma Powerfullyuseless that We heard impregnated his own 15 year old first Cousin wants to Teach Moral Values

Hmmmmm

I hope Lagos State is listening.

Bring out all ibo dead bodies sitting for months in mortuary and burn them so we dont end like alaibo.

And I hope you and your family members will go and take their place in the mortuary when they are burnt?

Way to go

I heard IPOB sometimes collect as much as N3 Million before allowing funerals to take place in the SE

Very wicked Human Beings

That evil group are capable of anything.Some communities in Orlu areas can't even bury their dead relatives because they are afraid to come back home due to ESN/UGM actiivities.
