What did you think you will feel? The move of the holy spirit?

I feel good, goose pimples, tears in my eyes....and all that...But with Nigerian anthem...I feel nothing...

I don't now why I don't have any feeling while reciting the Nigeria national anthem, but feel a surge of strength and pride when listening to Biafra national anthem...

Oh what a feeling...

Who can explain why...?

THE Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has reiterated that the agitation for an independent state of Biafra is not a declaration of war, saying that they are seeking a referendum to determine whether Ndigbo should remain in Nigeria or go their separate way.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by the National Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Mr Emma Powerful, and made available to Tribune Online in Enugu, the group accused some of the Northern elders including Alhaji Tanko Yakassai of grand conspiracy against the pro-Biafra agitators.

“We the members of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) and its leadership worldwide have observed the grand conspiracy perfected by Hausa-Fulani oligarchs like Tanko Yakassai and his fellow Hausa-Fulani politicians with the help of certain unity beggars to the effect that IPOB asking for self determination is tantamount to declaration of war or asking for referendum is equal to hate speech.”

Mr Powerful noted, “We also understand that such levels of stupefying ignorance about what IPOB is demanding is totally the reason why Nigeria cannot produce and distribute electricity and job opportunities in Nigeria despite the abundance of coal, palm oil, gas and crude oil”

The statement read in part: “This thuggish mindset of some Hausa-Fulani oligarchs is a quick resort to violence as espoused by Tanko Yakassai and co and is the reason why we have Boko Haram today. They always see civilised debate as a call to war; such people and the values they represent can never be reconciled with the civilising effects of genuine democracy that allows for freedom of expression.

“It is fair to assume, going by the utterances of certain corrupt segments of the Nigerian society, that most of what IPOB is saying and stands for is lost in translation because anybody with basic understanding of rudimentary English and constitutional law will know that self determination does not mean war and that referendum is not hate speech. Again, when badly educated and ill-informed people dabble into a discipline above their station, such mistakes are bound to happen.

“We would like to use this opportunity to clarify once again that IPOB is asking for self determination as recognised in both United Nations charter on the Rights of Indigenous People and the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights. Before these Northern unity beggars threaten us with war that IPOB hasn’t called for, let them spend a bit of their valuable time acquainting themselves with these charters and declarations.

“The only instrument IPOB has at its disposal is civil disobedience which is entirely legal. Civil disobedience it must be understood and be said that it has nothing to do with armed conflict.

“Furthermore, people should be advised to study and assimilate the subtleties and nuances of English language before engaging in any public discussion regarding Biafra independence. Our leader Nnamdi Kanu is a peaceful man that constituted IPOB with peaceful foundation and the sole aim is to liberate his people from humiliation and bondage. If some oil revenue dependent Northerners wish to misunderstand him and IPOB’s aims and objectives, that is their business.

“Also, we understand that some people console themselves with the constant reference to a war fought over 50 years ago, by saying that those asking for Biafra did not see war. Ignorantly they forget that the generation fighting today to defend Israel were not born when Hitler’s Nazi regime murdered six million Jews during the Second World War. The fact that our fathers were defeated in a war Britain, USSR, Egypt and the Arab world fought against our people during the war of genocide in 1967 and 1970 does not mean we cannot ask for our freedom in this 2017.

the picture is the present status of the Oriogodo bridge.

A Bridge in Ukpor, the headquarter town of Nnewi South LGA, which also leads to the Local Government Secretariat

Naaija.com reporter reliably gathered that The Community contributed money to build the bridge which has almost been submerged by water for them not to be cut off from their brothers and sisters residing across the bridge when the rainy season becomes unfriendly, the community has also contributed money to build the improvised bridge

The Bridge has been like this for over four years and fruitless efforts made to attack the attention of the State government.

But Naaija.com gathered that the member Federal House of Representatives, Hon Chris Azubuogu representing the constituency has assured the community of the Federal Government interventions on the bridge in the 2017 Appropriations Act

• Disagrees with governors on quest for self-determination •Urges Britain, US to support sustainable federal democracy

Gboyega Akinsanmi
The Yoruba Assembly, an umbrella platform for all socio-political groups in the South-west, yesterday asked the federal government to consider referendum to enable nationalities constituting Nigeria decide if they still want to remain together.

Currently led by Gen. Alani Akinrinade (rtd), the assembly faulted the claim by the Progressives Governors’ Forum (PGF) that some political usurpers “are hiding under the guise of the legitimate agitation for restructuring and self-determination to destabilise the polity is totally untenable.”

These positions were expressed in a communiqué the assembly formally released yesterday after a consultative meeting it held in Lagos last Saturday, thereby calling for development-oriented governance structure for Nigeria and rejecting all attempts to sustain the 1999 Constitution.

The assembly comprises the Afenifere Renewal Group, O’dua Liberation Movement, Yoruba Council of Youth, Coalition of O’dua Self-determination Groups, O’dua Nationalist Coalition, O’dua Peoples Congress Reformed, O’dua National Congress and Agbekoya Reformed Society, among others.

In its five-page communiqué signed by all its chartered members, the assembly said it was compelled by the rising tension in the Nigerian political space to convene a consultative meeting, which was held in Lagos at the heart of the current agitation for political restructuring and self-determination.

It noted that behind the current agitation “lies the altruistic effort to establish a development-oriented and sustainable governance structure for Nigeria on the one hand and on the other hand, the objectionable attempt at sustaining Nigeria’s unitary constitution by the ruling clique that desire to permanently control the leverage of power in Nigeria for egoistic reasons.”

It affirmed that the modern concept of sustainable development “is a process that must begin with the active consultation and participation of the people – therefore the need for a referendum is imminent.”
Citing injustice and inequity arising from what it described as constitutional manipulation in Nigeria, the assembly unequivocally rejected a statement by the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, that the unity of Nigeria was not negotiable.

The assembly, therefore, argued that the Nigerian unitary governance system “is outmoded. In this age, every federating unit must be able to pilot its own development affair in accordance with its pace and socio-cultural peculiarities and uniqueness. This is unity that is negotiable.

“The on-going methodology of stemming the crisis by the presidency, whilst commendable for at least opening a fresh chapter in crisis management in Nigeria, has not provided any window of redress, as it seems only interested in affirming the worn cliché that Nigeria’s unity is not negotiable.

“That statement cannot hold true under a civil setting or democracy. Nigeria’s unity is negotiable. We can negotiate it to remain together or otherwise. If however we choose to remain together, the terms of engagement must be clear and acceptable to all Nigerians.”

Specifically, the assembly explained that the unity of Nigeria “is negotiable, where unity is defined as shared understanding of the essence of our co-existence within the space called Nigeria.
“The Yoruba nation is and has always been in thought-leading position on nationhood and we will continue with this leadership behaviour, especially at times like this. Hence we will not condone, nor engage with any recklessness that is against our core values and essence as a people.

“We reiterate the need for restructuring of Nigeria’s governance structure as our minimum demand. In our view, restructuring is desirable and currently inevitable. This must be restructuring on the terms that are attractive to all ethnic nationalities and if necessary, fought for.

“At least, we can say so for Yoruba people, but if our reaction had been sublime that would not be to underestimate its consequence couched in some of the desperation and quest exhibited by the Igbos and the high charged ultimatum given by the Hausa/Fulani,” the assembly explained.

It rejected the claim by the PGF that some political usurpers and interlopers “are hiding under the guise of the legitimate agitation for restructuring and self-determination to destabilise the polity is totally un-tenable.”
It lamented the inability of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) “to stay true to its manifesto tenets on restructuring which is not helpful as it raises questions about their trustworthiness and of this government in itself, regarding adherence to principles and fundamental values and ethos.”

It also rejected a directive by the National Assembly for the executive to present to it the 2014 Constitutional Conference report, though noted that a true federal constitution “has to be put together for Nigeria, which is beyond the purview of the National Assembly. Piecemeal amendments of the 1999 Constitution are no longer acceptable.”

The assembly, therefore, called on the international community, particularly the British and United State Governments, that in their interventions, they work towards only a truly sustainable federal democracy in Nigeria.
The assembly equally, called on the governors of all South-west states and Houses of Assembly to take proactive steps by initiating dialogues and consultations among their people.

According to the assembly, we are watching them and when the time of reckoning comes, we shall know those who for selfish reasons and love of office refuse to stand by their people.
It, also, urged all traditional rulers in the geo-political zone “to begin consultative processes,” as the existing situations behoove on them to take certain culturally sanctioned authority to protect their domains.

“As it is our culture, the Yoruba Assembly will begin a consultative process with all Yoruba people including conducting an internal referendum and their decision will determine the next steps.
“We will take this proactive step to avoid the senseless warm-ongering. It is our position and advice that all other ethnic nationalities conduct similar consultative and engaging process among their peoples.”

YENAGOA – NIGER Delta Revolutionary Crusaders, NDRC, a militant group in the Niger Delta region, yesterday, warned it would resist with the last drop of its members’ blood, further oil exploration and exploitation in the Niger Delta if the North executes its alleged agenda of sabotaging the acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, to thwart the demand for restructuring of the country and fiscal federalism. Osinbajo The militant group, in a statement by its spokesperson, WOI Izon-Ebi, said: “For those with this sinister motive, because they feel President Muhammadu Buhari is debilitated, we advise them to keep the money to fund their junta government because NDRC will resist with their last blood the use of the oil from the Niger Delta to fund their greed and perfidy.”

nderscoring its readiness to stop the flow of oil from the region, the group said: “We call on all oil workers in the Niger Delta to vacate all oil facilities for their own safety. We also call on the operators of the Bonga Oil Field, LNG, NNPC, Port Harcourt Refinery and Warri Refinery to stop all forms of operation because our strike and defence team will be coming to hoist our flag of freedom as a people in all our critical infrastructures and assets of the Niger Deltans. “We reiterate in strong terms the need for the restructuring of the country and enthronement of fiscal federalism before October 1, 2017. “For the avoidance of doubt, let it be known that the NDRC and other agitators are aware of the plan by a section of the country to carry out a coup to truncate the leadership of Acting President Osinbajo as Mr. President, Muhammadu Buhari, is currently incapacitated.

There will be no exploration or exploitation in the Niger Delta if a coup occurs before the October 1, 2017 date.

“NDRC and the amalgamation of all freedom fighters with the 21st century youths of the Niger Delta from the South-South region of the country stand in solidarity with the people of the South –East.

“We will no longer accept the born to rule mentality of an ethnic group, which exploits others for the benefits of a few and reiterate that fiscal federalism with power devolved to the regions as the only panacea for peace in the country. “The NDRC and the people of the Niger Delta can no longer tolerate vituperations of people like Ango Abdullahi and Junaid Mohammed, who are beating the drums of hatred and war. “Our advice to the government and so -called owners of Nigeria is that there is no slave/master relationship in the Nigerian federation and there is no recorded Nigerian history whereby Usman Dan Fodio conquered the people of the Niger Delta and as such made the Niger Delta become inferior to the people of the caliphate.“ “The NDRC states categorically that societies are built on justice and equity and as such, come September 31, 2017, we will prove that this is the 21st century and that the renaissance of the Niger Delta has begun. If our fathers in their benevolence, love and sacrifice are seen as cowards, we, the Niger Delta youths of this 21st century are not cowards and we can prove it.”

The group called on all Ijaws and Niger Deltans scattered across Nigeria and West Africa “to immediately come back to their fatherland,” saying: “ It has been made known openly by one Alhaji Usman Bagagi of the Northern Elders and Leaders Forum that the North owns the oil and the Niger Delta region because of their landmass and population. “It is also known by all in Nigeria and the world that the northerners under the guise of Arewa youths had asked all Igbos living in the Northern part of the country to vacate the northern region in three months. “We call on all oil workers in the Niger Delta to vacate all oil facilities for their own safety. We also call on the operators of the Bonga oil field, LNG, NNPC, Port Harcourt Refinery and the Warri Refinery to stop all forms of operation because our strike and defence team would be coming to hoist our flag of freedom as a people in all our critical infrastructures and assets of the Niger Deltans.”
