The Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) has compelled people in the south east to bury their dead ones within 3 days as against longer days spent in committing them to earth.

A statement by the spokesperson of IPOB,Emma Powerful has attributed the problems facing Ndigbo in recent times to the longer days spent before burying their love ones.
Consequently, the group has warned all mortuaries in the south east to abide by the directive even as it has proposed shutting down morgues in the zone.
According to Powerful,he said IPOB has viewed spiritually the problems of Ndigbo and discovered it was caused by this norm. He noted that the new practice negates the ancient culture of Ndigbo where their dead ones were buried within three days.
He said “The global movement and noble family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU wish to announce to all Biafrans, friends of Biafra and lovers of Biafra freedom that it is high time Biafrans start burying our dead within three days as it was in ancient times.
“IPOB has gone too deep in the spiritual and finds out that keeping our dead ones for so long is contributing to the major problems of Ndigbo in this present times.
“Our ancestors were burying their dead ones within three days and that is our culture and it helped our ancestors spiritually. Igbos have 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 have had dire effects on our land and contributed to the spiritual weekness of 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 committed to mother earth has had a very negative impact on our people and upon our land. It has therefore become very imparative to urge our people to revert to the old practices that has very positive effect upon our welbeing both spiritually and otherwise. Powerful said.

Given further explanation Powerful said “After some thorough investigation we have come to the realization that all the reasons given by our people which cause the unnecessary delay in burying our dead within a short period are neither cogent nor important enough.
“These reasons are all man-made mostly monetary conditions from the bereaved families, traditional rites, churches and Umunna. Some of these reasons were self imposed while others are just to punish the deasead families and make money from the dead.
“We therefore, beg our people, religious leaders, traditional rulers and mostly the Umunna both men and women to stop tasking bereaved families as a condition before they are allowed to commit their departed loved one to mother earth. Some of our people have turned burial as a carnival and asking families to pay levies or debt for their dead ones is an abomination and must be stopped forthwith.
“As it was in past, bereaved families should be allowed to commit their dead ones to mother earth while a date for the burial ceremony is fixed for a later date as well as whatever levies that need to be collected.
“But using reasons of non payment of burial levies to stockpile dead bodies in the mortuaries is what IPOB don’t want again in our territory. Our people should revert to our old healthy tradition of burying the dead and do the needful at specific times within their reach. He stated.
However, the group has vowed to engage church leaders, town unions and traditional rulers and Umunna on the issue.
“We are advising them to prepare their minds on this clarion call because IPOB will develop strategy of curtaling the excessive use of montuary in our Region. This strategy may include compelling the shut down of so many montuaries littered all over our land. The only dead bodies that can be allowed to stay longer in the mortuary are those in the court or under police investigation.
“Igbos are shrinking in life because we dishonour the dead by keeping dead bodies in mortuaries for too long than necessary in these mortuaries. Any nation, tribe or family that keeps the dead without putting the corpse into the dust is causing a deservice to themselves.
“IPOB has gone too far in our work to restore our dear Nation of Biafra and we cannot loose the opportunity because of unburied people littered in various mortuaries. Some corpses have been left in the montuary for one, two and three years because of self gratification, levies or bills from families, churches and Umunnas.
“We are advising the families, Church Authorities and Umunna to reverse this unhealthy and wicked trend before IPOB begins to implement this new policy. The unburied has turned into zombies and having negative consequences on our peace and survival as a Nation.
“The most disturbing aspect of this practice of keeping dead bodies in mortuaries that is our people who died in other parts of the country even outside the country are brought down to Biafraland and deposited in montuary for months and years before burial

No I don't

You didn't say why they attacked you.

They tried to extort me and I refused

I was recently attacked by Cultists in my area and bruised on my face. The next day I reported to a police officer in charge of anti-cultism of my ordeal and he told me to write a statement on the incident. My mind wasn't made up to pursue for the arrest of the cultists for fear of retaliatory attack, so i declined to make a statement and informed the officer that I will prefer to proceed on the case on a later date when it will be less suspicious that I was the one who made the call. It's just over a week since the incident and I have been battling with rage whenever I see the culprits lurking around the street. I sleep less these days because of constant thinking of the ugly incident coupled with the bruises on my face that make me go insane when staring at the mirror. Please I need advice if I should proceed with the case now.

Some aggrieved Nigerians have expressed their displeasure over the statements made by the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, that Peter Obi’s Labour Party, LP, and others will labour till death.

Tinubu, who is also the APC national leader, said Labour Party and the likes are mushroom parties; the statement has been greeted with outrageous remarks by tweeps.

Some tweeps, who are ‘Obidient’ (a term used to describe Peter Obi’s supporters), said Tinubu is arrogant for making such statements.

Tinubu made the statements, yesterday, when he and other APC chieftains and stalwarts stormed Osun State in a rally to campaign for Governor Gboyega Oyetola.

“Think about your children and vote accordingly, so you can see the future. Come out en masse.

“Don’t mind PDP and other mushrooms parties – parties like Labour; they will labour till they die. God will not make you labourers,” Tinubu had said.

Reactions

Reacting on Twitter, @UchePOkoye reacted: “Tinubu said Obidients will Labour till they die. But his children are buying up the choicest areas in New York at $2 million. This man is a definition of evil.”

@ManLikeIcey said: “Tinubu just called Labour Party, Accord Party and SDP mushroom parties in Osun, very arrogant man.”

“Tinubu said people will labour till they die,” @Maybeks tweeted. “A careless and insulting comment to political opponent(s).

“Tweeting for the record, because dead or alive, Tinubu will be trolled for this comment in future. When it happens, nobody should ask if people don’t have elders in their families.”

“Bola Ahmed Tinubu says Nigerians will labour in vain. This man is daring Nigerians. I urge everyone to be prepared to vote against BAT come 2023. Enough is enough.

“A man that doesn’t have the balls to do Muslim-Muslim ticket in Lagos, but want to Islamize us at the federal,” @NnaemekaEdeh1 said.

@ritoOclock asserted: “Tinubu is calling Labour Party a mushroom party. Someone that cannot speak to a large number of people without speaking Yoruba.

“How can this man move Nigeria forward? Buhari is better than this man.”

Bastard son of a bitch. To hell with everyone of you who use tribe, religion, ethnicity to divide the people. Only competence must be used as a criteria for electing our leaders. Is so pathetic that Nigerians use all these to judge who should lead them, simply because they all meaningless.

This is the height of it all. He has security personnels attached to him. I swear the number of police personnels safe guarding common Nigerians are fewer than 50 thousand

Absolutely perfect every woman should have the liberty to abortion. We need this law here to stem overpopulation. In fact I consider as a single major problem in Nigeria today. Kudos to them.

Nigeria's life expectancy has been ranked 190 out of 193 Nations by Worldometers. The average life expectancy of a Nigerian today is 55.75. Life expectancy for women is higher than that of men which sits at 56.75 and the latter at 54.80.
