Politics / Nnamdi Kanu Heads To Appeal Court, DSS Preventing Him From Getting Fair Trial by attackgat: 11:15am On Apr 05 |
The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has appealed against the decision of a Federal High Court (FHC), Abuja, dismissing his objection to his trial continuation. Kanu, in a notice of appeal dated and filed March 28, through his team of lawyers led by Aloy Ejimakor, prayed the Court of Appeal, Abuja to allow the appeal and set aside the trial court’s decision. The IPOB leader had filed a preliminary objection seeking an order for some conditions to be met by the Federal Government before his trial at FHC could proceed. He had alleged that the Department of State Service (DSS) personnel often seized documents of his lawyers during visitation, stopped his lawyers from taking notes, eavesdropped on his consultation with his lawyers on matters pertaining to his defence, among others. He alleged that he had not been given adequate time and facilities to defend himself in accordance with Section 36(6)(b) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). But Justice Binta Nyako of a FHC had, in a ruling on March 19, declined to grant the objection of the detained IPOB leader. The judge, who ordered accelerated hearing of the trial, also dismissed his application for bail. However, Kanu, in the notice of appeal, listed the Federal Republic of Nigeria as the sole respondent. He argued that the trial court erred in law when the court assumed jurisdiction to proceed with the hearing of the criminal trial against him when he was glaringly denied the constitutional right to fair trial. He alleged that he was denied adequate facilities to prepare for the defence of the criminal allegations against him and his right to counsel of his own choice, thereby occasioning a grave miscarriage of justice. “The denial of the appellant (Kanu) of the opportunity to interact and brief his counsel on what line of defences the appellant tends to agitate in the trial court and rely on was adequately brought to the attention of the trial court by motion. The trial court failed and neglected to make necessary orders that would protect the appellant’s aforesaid rights, but rather held that the court cannot dictate how the respondent carries out its work,” he said. He said the trial court had the power to order the respondent to cease and desist from interfering with his constitutional right. Besides, Kanu said the lower court had the power to order an alternative custodial arrangement or non-custodial arrangement for him, where it is impossible for the respondent to comply or where the respondent persists in the act. He said: “Denial of the appellant’s right to adequate facilities to prepare defence as enshrined in Section 36 (6) (b) of the 1999 Constitution is a jurisdictional issues in the absence of which the trial court cannot assume or proceed with the jurisdiction over the case, unless and until such facilities are accorded to the appellant.” Kanu argued that though he had prayed the court to stop the DSS alleged unconstitutional acts of forcibly seizing and photocopying confidential legal documents brought to him by his lawyers meant for his defence of the charges against him, the court declined to grant the plea. He said the trial judge erred in law when the court ordered accelerated hearing, despite the consistently refusal of the respondent to afford him the right to adequate facility to prepare for his defence of the charges levelled against him and his right to counsel. He said the order for accelerated hearing of the case, in face of the constitutional breaches of fair hearing/trial rights of the appellant, was a credence to the respondent to proceed on the unconstitutional denial of the appellant his right to adequate facilities to prepare for his defence and his right to counsel of his choice. “In the present case, where Sections 36 (6) (b) and (c) of the Constitution are violated by the respondent against the appellant, the trial court lacks the jurisdiction to hear and or proceed with the hearing of the case,” he added. The IPOB leader, therefore, prayed the appellate court to allow the appeal, vacate the ruling of the lower court for the trial court to decline jurisdiction to proceed with the hearing of the case, unless and until he is granted his right to fair hearing under Section 36(6)(6)(b) and (c) of the constitution. Alternatively, he urged the Appeal Court for the trial court to order an alternative custodial or non-custodial arrangement free of interference with his said constitutional right to fair hearing. He equally sought an order setting aside the order for accelerated hearing of the case in the circumstances of the case where he is not allowed facilities to prepare for the defence of the charges against him and denied his right to counsel. Kanu sought a stay of proceedings pending when the respondent afforded him the constitutional safeguards of being afforded adequate facilities to prepare for his defence and his unfettered right to counsel. https://sunnewsonline.com/nnamdi-kanu-appeals-trial-courts-ruling/ |

Successful Ebonyi State born businessman, John Anayochukwu Nwakpa, popularly known as 'John White', did something this New year which I urge all Igbos to do He built his palatial country home right in the middle of no where in his Ekka village, Ezza community, Ezza North, Ebonyi State He didn't care if the place has all the social amenities in the world, all he cared about is that his house in his ancestral land will be the best he can afford So Igbos, if you can afford it, build in your village, build in your home town, build in your community, build in Igbo land. Stop building in Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Ibadan and other places you are not indigenous to. Don't let them decieve you with one Nigeria, there is no such thing.

The Biafran Nations League, BNL, are a group of armed militants who operate mainly in Cross River and Akwa Ibom States. They are made up of ethnic Ibibios, Efiks, and Orons. They are agitating that the two States be part of Biafra when it emerges. Although the group is not associated with with other Biafran groups such as IPOB and MASSOB, they have demanded in the past that all Biafran agitators held by the Nigerian government, including IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, be released. The group also does not recognize the authority of Cameroun over the Bakassi peninsula, part of which they control, and have had clashes with the Camerounian Army. Another odd thing about BNL is that they like to hoist the Biafran flag sideways, rather than upright. Nobody is sure who leads the group 23 Likes 3 Shares

Politics / Nnamehn Tv Cries Out - 'ijaws And Bini's Are After My Life' Video by attackgat: 4:16pm On Sep 25, 2023 |
Mr Chukwuemeka is an indigene of Mbieri in Imo State. He is also a journalist and proprietor of Nnamehn Tv that espouses the "Unify Igbos Now" project. Basically, what Chukwuemeka does is to visit Igbo speaking areas outside the South East to relate and discuss their Igboness, and interview the indigenes So far, he has been to Ika in Delta State, Igbanke in Edo, Oha-obu in Akwa Ibom, Obigbo, Ndoki, Etche, Ahoada, Ikwerre in Rivers and many more However, Chukwuemeka has come under a barrage of online attacks, not from the people he visits, but from mainly Ijaw and Bini elements who are claiming that the places he is visiting are their territory. The Binis are claiming that all the Igbo speaking areas of Delta state, as well as Igbanke and Ikwerre, are their Descendants, and are thereforr Bini people, while the Ijaws are claiming that much of the Igbo speaking people of Rivers state such as Ndoki, Egbema, Etche, Omuma and even Oha-obu in Akwa-Ibom are their descendants. They have threatened Chukwuemeka's life, reported his channel for hate speech when he never used hate, claimed that he was distorting history and forcing people to become Igbo Chukwuemeka took to his YouTube channel in the video below to question why people are threatening his life just because he goes to interview people he shares language and cultural affinity with. He wondered how he is forcing people to be Igbo when he only has a microphone and Camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aoqp9BfQr9A 3 Likes |

Politics / Delta State Women Protest Fulani Herdsmen Attacks, Rape by attackgat: 5:57pm On Sep 14, 2023 |
HUNDREDS of women from Ekakpamre community in Ughelli South local Government Area of Delta State, have called on the federal and state governments to rescue them from the incessant attacks and gang raping of women by suspected Fulani herdsmen. The mostly aged women during the protest weilded fresh leaves and placards with inscriptions such as, “We do not want Cows in our bush” “They Graze on our land” “We are being raped and chased from our farms”, they accused security agencies of supporting the herdsmen against them. The Leader, Mrs. Loveth Boyi while addressing newsmen said, “For over 3 years now, Fulani herdsmen have been troubling us, chasing us from our farmlands. “Just last week, five women were raped in their farms and as a result, we can no longer access our cassava farms, either to plant or harvest. “The herdsmen will harvest our cassava and other farm produce and give to their cattle, our husbands are not going to the bush, hence we are calling on the state and federal governments to rescue us from the shackle of herdsmen in the community.” Mama Blacky Raymond, an Octogenarian who twisted her kneel due to the herdsmen attack stressed that she can no longer get access to her farm after she was chased from her farm. On his part, the President General of the Community, Edafe Kpohraror said, “The women are on this protest because herdsmen have continued to chase them from their farmlands. “There is one Imam in the Community that is using the police and army to intimidate us, and as result, many people have fled the town because of possible arrest. “We are appealing to the State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to rescue our community from the attack of herdsmen.” Edafe pleaded https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/09/delta-women-protest-herdsmen-attack-rape/amp/ |

I dont know what is hard for Nigerians ti understand about IPOB?

Nigeria is poverty capital of the world, 8th most terrorised and insecure country on earth Yet when Nnamdi Kanu says that his people should be allowed democratic referendum for them to peacefully exit this colossal failure of a country, some people will call for his head Why?

Go about in Nigeria and tell me any Region that managed to develop anywhere in that Region that does not have federal or state capital status?

Politics / What An Ikwerre Man Said About Ikwerres, Igbos And History by attackgat: 6:44am On Aug 15, 2023 |
Barrister Uche Okwukwu is an Ikwerre man from Elele, Ikwerre Local Government. He is also a former Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo. When former Governor Wike denied being Igbo in 2020, Uche Okwukwu wrote this open letter to him which was widely publicised The statement attributed to His Excellency, Barrister Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State was shocking. He said an illustrious Igbo son, and I believe he was referring to the Honorable Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, was only claiming to be Igbo to further his ambition of becoming Nigerian president come 2023. Wike further disclaimed being Igbo himself. Agreed, Wike has the right to hold any view so far as it is within the ambit of the law and not counter-productive. He can define himself in any manner he deems fit. But Amaechi, who holds the traditional chieftaincy title of ”Ochi Ariri Ikwerre,” meaning the Defender of Ikwerre in Times of Difficulty, also has the same right to see and define himself as Igbo. Wike does not enjoy the prerogative of determining himself and at the same time defining others. Amaechi was former National President of the National Union of Rivers State Students, NURSS. He was former Speaker of Rivers House of Assembly, Chairman of the Conference of Speakers in Nigeria, two-term governor of Rivers, Chairman of the Governors Forum of Nigeria, GFN, and two-term Minister of Transportation. He is the first Nigerian to be appointed Minister of Transportation and first Ikwerre to be appointed full-fledged Grade A minister. As an Ikwerre, I am proud of Amaechi. As an Igbo, I am also proud of him. Coming from the humanities, Amaechi is conscious of history and social anthropology. He said, “Look, I’m Ikwerre. But I’m also Igbo.” By so saying he did not in any way stop any Ikwerre from presenting himself as non-Igbo. Such an Ikwerre who denies his Igbo identity would have to explain himself to the gods. Amaechi’s assertion of his Igboness on the BBC should not cause anyone a headache. The Ikwerre Is Igbo It is important to state for record purposes that historically Ikwerres fully identified themselves as Igbos without suffering harms. Chief Joseph Wobo, member of the Council of Chiefs of Eastern Nigeria, clearly stated he was an Igbo. Nobody can dismiss him as he defended Ikwerreland in colonial Nigeria. Sir Jackson Mpi, first and last Ikwerre to be conferred with Knight of the Order of British Empire, OBE, by Queen Elizabeth II of England in 1960, identified himself as Igbo. From the ancient Kingdom of Isiokpo, Sir Mpi worked tirelessly for Igbo advancement. Dr Obi Wali was the first Ikwerre PhD holder, senator and university lecturer. He was also the only Ikwerre in the 1978 Constituent Assembly where he was selected one of the 50 Wise Men that drafted the 1979 constitution. The great Dr Wali identified fully with his Igbo heritage and was gruesomely assassinated defending it. Okogbule Wonodi, first Ikwerre registrar of any university, first and only Ikwerre poet and Paramount title Holder of Eze Ohiaemeru. Ohiaemeru, where you have present-day Comprehensive College in Borokiri, was his ancestral home before the British vacated them between 1913-1923. Wonodi remained a respected member of Nzukor Igbo and Ohanaeze Ndigbo till the end of his life. Patriot Emmanuel Aguma was former Mayor of Port Harcourt. As Principal of St John College, Diobu, he was the first Ikwerre to head any college. One of six pre-independence Ikwerre University graduates, former administrator of Port Harcourt Province in the defunct Peoples Republic of Biafra, first Ikwere minister in 1979, Aguma remained a member of Ohanaeze Ndigbo. Emmanuel Oriji was a respected local government administrator, traditional ruler, a commissioner in old Rivers and core Igbo nationalist. The immediate past Deputy Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Isaac Wonwu, is an illustrious Ikwerre son from Elele. He is known to assert his Igbo identity. Equally valid, Chief Jackson Womenazu from Rumukrushi in the Evo Kingdom is a member of the Elders’ Council of Ohanaeze Ndigbo. In colonial documents, written when Igbos had no capacity to influence anything, Ikwerres also defined themselves as Igbos. When Ikwerre leaders presented their case before the 1957 Sir Henry Willinks Commission, Wobo declared that Ikwerres were Igbos and Port Harcourt to Onitsha was Igboland. The cream of Ikwerreland have asserted their Igboness. Most illustrious sons and daughters. Tell me any Ikwerre whose CV can match those of Mpi, Wobo, Aguma, Wonodi, Dr Wali or Amaechi? The Ikwerre: Space and Survival We must resolve all outstanding issues occasioned by the military-inspired partition of Ikwerreland as war booty. Our irreducible stand includes: One, Ikwerres are Igbos and Ikwerreland is so important to the Igbo that they will never take any step to destroy Ikwerres or toy with their destiny. In geo-strategic terms, Ikwerreland is the tongue of the Igbo race to the sea. Two, we are aware there are plans to landlock the Igbo nation. These plans are rooted in history. My brother and personal friend, Wike, should not be a crusader for such plans because it will be resisted with the sword as no nation will allow itself to be landlocked. All legitimate, moral and spiritual means available to Ndigbo would be used to resist the excise of Ikwerreland from the larger Igboland. Three, “Obigbo,” means “Heart of Igboland.” It is the right name for that Local Government Area, LGA. “Oyigbo” means nothing and was never and will never be the name of Obigbo. The British met local people on ground who said their world was called Obigbo. Any researcher can go there and verify for himself. None should be persecuted for calling Obigbo its original pre-civil war name. I, Uche Okwukwu, call it Obigbo and I have no apologies for that. Four, “Ohiaemeru” is the original name for Borokiri. It was the British who removed the indigenous Ikwerre population there before declaring the place Crown Land between 1913-1923. Equally so, “Igweocha” or “Diobu” is the original name for Port Harcourt. We must set the record straight. Five, demographically and historically, Igbos constitute the majority in the Niger Delta. Wike’s idea of the region is flawed considering that nine states make up the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, namely, Imo, Abia, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, Ondo and Rivers. It is absurd and unacceptable stating that Umuagwo is not in the Niger Delta but Ogoja is. Be that as it may, there is now a statutory definition of the region manifest in the NDDC Act. Any definition that excludes the Igbo from the Niger Delta, or tends to disenfranchise them from the privileges thereof, is unacceptable. This is because there were plans in the past that destroyed any benefit coming to the Igbo. Boundary adjustments were carried out to remove oil-producing areas from the former East Central State. Six, in terms of ethnicity and language, Igbos are also in the majority in Rivers. It is fallacious that there are no Igbos here. Igbos are here because Ikwerres are Igbos. Ogbas are Igbos, Ekpeyes are Igbos. Etches are Igbos. Obigbos are Igbos. So no one can talk about Igbos coming in to cause trouble. Igbos are peaceful. Rivers is our home, and we are its autochthones. Seven, Binis have no cultural or historical link with Ikwerres. We worship different gods, have different market days with different monarchical structures. Our Kingship is not from father to son like the Binis. Our kingship is based on gerontocracy where the oldest person assumes leadership. What brought us together was the 1914 amalgamation. No pre-colonial or colonial record has it that Ikwerres migrated from Benin. The post-war purported claim that Ikwerres are Binis is parasitic, defeatist and self-hate. Eight, Ikwerreland is heavily garrisoned. Two million Ikwerres in four LGAs are tightly sandwiched by two naval barracks at Iwofe and Borokiri; two army barracks at Port Harcourt and Elele; air force base in Port Harcourt and an army shooting range in Igwuruta. Large swathes of land were appropriated for the building of the international airport, University of Port Harcourt and its teaching hospital, Rivers State University, Ignatius Ajuru University, Nigerian Television Authority, Area 1 Seaport, etc. We believe in the unity of this country but the Federal Government should dismantle the military formations and return their locations to land-bereft inner-city Ikwerres. Our burgeoning population has no living space and this could lead to the Oromo experience. Why is Wike denying his Igbo roots? Wike is an illustrious Ikwerre son. And for emphasis, he is an Igbo man. A kettle might call itself an electric kettle, but it remains a kettle. Wike will do himself great service to forget the purported prejudice of the past and assert his Igboness. You don’t deny your own roots because they may not be there anymore when later you need them. All those who deny their people have always regretted it. 10 Likes |
