Where are those US marines holding the Biafra flag? They need to fly down to Nigeria sharp-sharp, to lead this search for the missing 200 IPOBians, and rescue them without further delay. Do they think their job is just to hold the flag and pose??

You admit that 200 IPOB/Biafra people have been missing since their Trump inauguration solidarity in Portharcourt.

Why can't Nigeria security officials give account of the missing IPOB/Biafrans if Nigeria is not truly a dungeon, a zoo at best?

Your mind set aptly justified the Biafra secessionist moves.

Biafrans want to leave the dungeon, Nigeria.

Biafrans don't want to share one country with nitwitts who celebrate the missing of 200 citizens.

Yujin:
Certainly, there's a spiritual approval for the current events in Nigeria and America. Ndigbo have suffered so much and God is not blind nor deaf to our plight and prayers. As God appointed and approved Cyrus of Persia to see to the reconstruction of Jerusalem's wall so He has appointed President Donald Trump to aid the re-emergence of Biafra. This is the age of freedom and it is on our side. We have not coveted anyone's land or property. All we desire is a separate entity of existence from those who love to hate us for no reason. Chukwu Abiama Gi ka anyi nõ n'aka.

Sure, God shall hear the prayers of Biafrans.

Biafrans are not coveting the lands of the non-Igbos in the so-called southsouth. If they chose, let those non-Igbos in the southsouth remain with rest of Nigeria without Biafra.

Abagworo:
No need for long talks. If Igbos back Rochas Okorocha he is the next President of Nigeria.

But Igbos are not fools. Okorocha joined APC and since then made the Imo state capital to become Imo state because he has his businesses and palatial home in the state capital.

Before he joined APC, Okorocha tried to build roads and market stalls outside the state capital but abandoned nearly all of these projects since joining APC. Since then, he specialized in bulldozing and rebuilding edifices in the state capital where his mind tells him the projects can easily be seen so as to be taken by the public as a performing governor good to be president.

But Igbos are not fools as Okorocha seems to believe. A state is not only the state capital.

cstr55:
I can agree with you on that.
There is no force in the south that can stop okorocha from becoming president if he manage to clinch igbo support.
I believe that is what he is trying to do with ohanaeze. He is uniting them to do his bidding.

@ Omo,

Gov. Okorocha who converted Imo state to become only the state capital can't even win Imo state, talkless Igbo states.

Okorocha rules his state with malice against the other two senatorial zones outside the state capital.
Define a state governor that abandoned his Orlu and Okigwe zones to decay in the last five years, but spends his state's funds on destroying and building in only the state capital. A state governor that bought hundreds of buses and taxis only for his state capital; a state governor that hasn't got a development plan or serious project outside his state capital in the last five years, that's Rocha Okorocha.

By TonyeBarcanista

Like most people, I was greeted by a report of a new regulations by the management of Umaru Yar'adua University (formerly Katsina State University) in which they proscribed every religious and tribal associations in the school with the exception of Muslim Students Society of Nigeria, a body for Muslim students. It is a shame that an institution of learning that is supposed to be a shinning light in the society will adopt a policy that is not only bigoted but also against the right of students as prescribed in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Katsina People, Not Muslims Own The University:
The University is owned by the people of Katsina state. It was established by the government of Umaru Musa Yar'adua in 2006/07, funded with Katsina state resources for the people of Katsina state and other Nigerians. The institution is 100% public owned, it is not a private property of the Muslim population nor that of any faith. Hence, the school policies must be of public interest and not that of any religion or ethnic group.

I find it pathetic that some people choose to justify the clear discrimination against people of non-Muslim faith by the school management by drawing parallel with the policies of privately-owned tertiary institutions like Covenant University.

Since Katsina state belong to Katsina people irrespective of religious affiliation, Umaru Yaradua University is owned by Katsina state, common sense should tell that the University is owned by Katsina people irrespective of faith. The school must not be seen as discriminatory or appear to favor any religion over the other.

Regulations Against The Right of Students As Enshrined In The Nigeria Constitution:
If you look at Section 38(3) of the Nigeria constitution that deals with freedom of religion and section 40 that deals with freedom of association, one will see clearly that the regulation has sought to deprive Nigerians/students of non-Muslim faith in the institution their right to freely worship and associate.

The fact that the regulation exclude Muslim society, it is pure discrimination against students of non-Muslim faith, a move that is contrary to Section 42. (1) of the Nigeria constitution.

We can't allow the institution to be a law of itself. It must be subjected to the constitution of the country.

Regulations Against African Charter on Human Right:
Apart from flouting the Nigeria Constitution, the regulation of the University goes against Articles 8, 10 and 11 of the African Charter on Human Right, which Nigeria is a signatory of.

Article 8 states that "Every person shall enjoy Freedom of conscience, the profession and free practice of religion shall be guaranteed. No one may, subject to law and order, be submitted to measures restricting the exercise of these freedoms."

Article 10(1) states that "Every individual shall have the right to free association provided that he abides by the law." While Article 11 guarantees right to assemble with others.

Being a component of Nigeria and public institution, the University is subject to the various provisions of the charter. It is a matter of obligation not by choice.

While some may argue that Katsina is a sharia state, that would hold no water. This is because the Sharia law or any other law of parliament cannot take preeminence over the Constitution of Nigeria nor the African Charter, which Nigeria is a signatory of.

In fact, sections 1(1) and 1(3) of the Constitution clearly state that:

"This Constitution is supreme and its provisions shall have binding force on all authorities and persons throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria." S1(1)

"If any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this Constitution, this Constitution shall prevail, and that other law shall to the extent of the inconsistency be void." S1(3).

That said, I expect Nigerians in one voice irrespective of religious faith to call the management of the University and Katsina state Governor, Bello Mansari to order. We can't allow illegality to reign in this country. Allowing such move will further heat up the polity.



May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

@Tonyebarcanister,

That sort of religious bigotry you kick against here is among what makes IPOB want Biafra exit from Nigeria.

But the Tonyebarcanisters of non-Igbo groups of the southsouth wrongly believe that Biafra including the southsouth is for Igbos to exploit the non Igbos of the southsouth.

Fact: when the Igbos get Biafra, the non-Igbos in the southsouth MUST be begging for inclusion into Biafra, because the non-Igbos in the southsouth can't afford to share one country with rest of Nigeria without the Igbos. And the diverse groups in the southsouth can't form a Nigerdelta Republic.

Impracticable one Nigeria unfolds before us on a daily basis. The Katsina University religious bigotry is like a flash in a tea cup.

Igbos can't continue to be used as shield in one Nigeria by the non-Igbo southsouth whom people in the SW describe as Clueless and "Ogogoro" drinkers.
Only the most clueless in the southsouth fails to understand that the non-Igbo groups in the southsouth can easily get whatever they want from Biafra than from octopus-like Nigeria.

duni04:
The reason why successionist groups like IPOD, OPC, MASSOP, IYC and ACF will always exist is because greedy, selfish and evil people will always need them to push their ethnic and tribal agenda.
The vast generality of Nigerians have accepted that we are one. We've had uncountable tribal marriages since 1960. Nigerians have accepted to be Nigerians! But because some people won't get contracts if they're not Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba, or because they won't get appointed or employed if they're not given certain jobs, they start whipping up imaginary tribal sentiments
The biggest enemy of Nigerians today is Federal character and zoning. These are instruments that we erroneously thought would cater to disadvantaged people. But its destroying Nigeria gradually.
The idea that the Igbo's are being marginalised because no igbo man is amongst the service chiefs is what keeps groups like IPOD nd MASSOB alive. Nobody wants to ask if there's any qualified Igbo man man we can pick on merit. They want us to go to the streets of Awka and pick anyone to be a service chief.
The earlier we got rid of federal character and zoning, the better for us. Let everyone work their ass off and get to the tip on merit. If a Hausa man has been getting a top position for years because he's from Kano, if anyone cones and tries to take that position from him, he'll just scream federal character and run to his tribal rep, ACF.
The only way we can kill these groups is by giving everybody what they deserve based on merit and merit only. When a Hausa man in Kano knows that he won't get into the ministry of finance without federal character, he will work his ass off and go to the best schools in the world to earn his qualification. If he knows that he will always get a jib at the ministry because he's Hausa, and his son will get admitted to QC or KC even if he scores 0 in common entrance, he will do everything possible to keep that system. Infact if anyone tries to tamper with that system, he will just scream tribalism. That's how messed up our situation is. Same applies to the other tribes.

Only way to have saved one Nigeria is through fiscal federalism/resourse control/regional government system.

Tribalism in Nigeria was started by northern Nigeria when it progressively used northern Nigeria soldiers to create the 36 states and Abuja fraudulent political structure.

Land mass is NEVER a yard stick to determine how many new federal units like states, provinces or regions can be created in any area in federal countries.
But northern Nigeria used land mass as yard stick to proliferate twenty New federal units in northern Nigeria.
The political structure of 36 states and Abuja thus favours only northern Nigeria as it derives economic and political over-representation from the twenty undue large number of states and hundreds of local government councils littered by northern soldiers in the north.

The political structure now makes northern political class dictate the tunes in Nigeria.

Thus the the most educationally disadvantaged northern Nigeria drives the political and economic development of Nigeria, it's become a disaster.

The resultant disaster manifests itself in form of marginalized Nigerian groups, general economic malaise, absence of social infrastructure, etc.
The Igbos being the most organized and cohesive group thus resumed their desire for Biafra out of Nigeria.
It's no longer possible to restructure Nigeria politically to bring back equity to the country's political process.

davidif:
But the constitution does not state anywhere for a referendum?

The constitution of Nigeria you refer to is part of the reasons why secessionist Biafra wants to leave Nigeria.

The constitution was made by northern Nigeria through its soldiers who supervised its drafting.

The constitution was drafted to legitimize the fraudulent 36 states and Abuja political structure created by northern Nigeria through its soldiers.

It legitimizes twenty New states and hundreds of local government councils in once one region north, but a meagre seventeen states and few local government councils in the once two regions south.

Through this political structure, even a goat from the north MUST win a presidential election against any most qualified candidate from the south.
Southern political class therefore remain "siddon de look up to the north" due to the present political structure.

One way or another, Biafra must go from Nigeria.

davidif:
But Biafra would be a land locked nation in Nigeria

Friend, the richest and most peaceful country in Europe is landlocked. Have you ever heard of Swiss federation?

Representatives of the three federating groups in Switzerland sat around a table at the beginning and agreed upon their terms to coexist in one country.

But in your Nigeria, Hausa/Fulani used its soldiers and recreated Nigeria into the present 36 states and Abuja fraudulent political structure, as well as supervised the 1999 contraption they called constitution and imposed upon Nigeria.

Nigeria failed, but some profiteers keep telling you that Nigeria is one indivisible nation. Nation ke, Nigeria?

Abeg, if it's the non-Igbo oil producing southsouth you don't want to see in Biafra, please collect them. Not by force, but through the most civilized method known to mankind - popular referendum.

aljharem:
That will be a VERY GOOD MOVE !!!! Ole ni awon ara oke oya. Abeg make them no forget to free Yoruba nation as well upto Jebba

Yoruba nation or country? Yoruba country is not possible.

Because Yoruba is deeply and nearly equally divided between Muslims and Non-Muslims in Nigeria's southwest region.

The Muslim Yoruba groups look forward to the Sokoto Caliphate in Nigeria's northern region for directions.
Furthermore, the Muslim Yoruba group leads the entire Yoruba politically.

Today, Many Yoruba Muslims can't imagine living in a new country without the Sokoto Caliphate.

In fact, not quite long ago, it was a Yoruba who said the Sultan of Sokoto should be renamed Sultan of Nigeria.

NaWetinDey:
He's a waste. That's what bigotry and nepotism did to us. On the other hand, that's what cowardice and the fear of losing did to southern leaders. You can not win unless you try but you will always lose if you do not. Otherwise, these worthless things would not be qualified even as gatekeepers. Now they speak for the man who controls a country as big in every way as Nigeria. No wonder the country is on the verge of implosion yet they can't see it. He's there communicating like an untrained child but receiving the allowances of the king's most trusted. Lost cause!

You got it absolutely right. The right people can't rule and speak for Nigeria, no thanks to the 36 states political structure and constitution created by Arewa through its soldiers; a political structure and constitution that guarantee even a goat from the north to win the presidency against a most qualified candidate from the south any day.

Typical of Crude oil Patriot of one Nigeria. So long as crude oil flows from the Nigerdelta, Nigeria is heaven. You take up your Foolish blackmail against Igbos who want to opt out of the failed contraption called Nigeria.

Nigeria has earned close to a Trillion dollars in fifty years but has no electricity, no pipe borne water, no hospitals, no identity except passport, no good education institutions, no peace, no ...
Yet you are unable to see that Nigeria can't work.
All that matters to you is your tribesmen and Abokiiis become president, others, including Jonathan worship them

KingSango:
Bowing to White Supremacy, the Beast of all beasts, is stupid. Ase.

Bowing to White Supremacy? But White Supremacy has been keeping one failed Nigeria so far.

Without White Supremacy, without the Brits with their economic interests in one Nigeria, the combination of forces of the Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani can't keep Igbos still in one failed contraption called Nigeria.

Tell yourself the truth first before your childish blackmail.

Why didn't you guys march for him? You think taking sides with trump that doesn't know if you guys are living will bring out your dilector? I sorry for una degree of joblessness!!!! Please continue and keep on dying like rats!!

Too many zombies on the prowl.

Have you ever heard of political propaganda? That's what the solidarity march for Trump by IPOB was all about.

Nigeria has failed, irretrievably. Look for your way out of the failed contraption; instead of using childish blackmail to dissuade others who want to leave the failed contraption.

KingSango:
I'm in America, can some please, tell me, how the hell an American president has someone killed in Nigeria? What the hell are you protesting in Nigeria? How are you supporting America while being Nigerian?

Worst Stupidity is being insincere to oneself.

Another form of stupidity is living in denial of the political propaganda that motivated the IPOB Solidarity with US President, Donald Trump.

PDJT:
Now, how will this bring Unity to any country?

It can only reinvigorate people like me and my family to keep on pushing to be free from this British zoo!

Rest in Peace my young hero! Torment your killers and their families. Isee!
Your untimely death shall not be in vain, as the Zoo is now in a state of no return.

It shall never be well with Buhari and Nigeria.

Unity of Nigeria? NEVER. Soldiers murdering civilians to preserve unity of a country in the 21st Century. Only in the zoo called Nigeria.

Any Nigerians that still believe that the country can survive must be foolish.

Northern Nigeria fears break-up of Nigeria like they fear leprosy.

But Nigeria is the most disunited country on earth today, partly because of the political structure created by northern Nigeria for Nigeria.

It's a question of time before the country disintegrates.

RIP to the Biafra freedom fighters.

Abagworo:
This same Vanguard accused Okorocha of presenting grazing bill using the woman. That's how insincere their reporting has been.

http://igbonews.co.uk/Rochas-Backs-Fulani--Approves-/rochas-backs-fulani--approves-imo-state-grazing-bill----vanguard.html

This news house has authoritatively gathered that there is Grazing Bill before the Imo State House of Assembly. The bill is spearheaded by Rochas Okoracha and presented by Hon. Uju Onwudiwe.
Immediately the contents of the bill was leaked, Governor Rochas and his cronies in the State house of Assembly denied it. They later altered the title of the bill following a suspected backlash.
Read Also: I will make sure Buhari wins 2019 presidential election — Rochas Okorocha.
Needless to say, we have obtained a hard copy of the Grazing bill.
On the face value, the bill pretends to be harmless and goes by a fanciful title:
“BILL FOR A LAW TO ESTABLISH AGRICULTURAL ESTATES AND FARM SETTLEMENTS IN THE THREE GEOPOLITICAL ZONES OF IMO STATE TO INCREASE, IMPROVE AND ENHANCE THE PRODUCTION OF FOOD AND CASH CROPS, LIVESTOCK, POULTRY, FISHERY AND DAIRY AND FOR OTHER MATTERS CONNECTED THEREWITH, 2016.”
Highlights of the bill are as follows:
1. The Governor shall by special instrument acquire productive lands in all the 3 Geopolitical Zones of Imo State for the purpose of establishing Agricultural Estates and Farm Settlements.
2. An agency to be known as the ‘Imo State Agricultural Estates and Farm Settlements Agency’ shall be established.
3. There shall be established for the Agency, a Governing Board.
4. A member of the Agency will treat as confidential any information which has come to his/her knowledge and will not disclose any information related to his to a third party.
5. Three leading farmers from the private sector, one each from Owerri Orlu and Okigwe Zones will be appointed by the Governor.
6. A member of the governing board may at any time be removed from office by the Governor.
7. The Agency shall not obtain any loan whether local or foreign without the approval of the Governor.
8. The Farm Settlements shall maintain operational offices in Orlu, Owerri and Okigwe geo-political zones which shall coordinate operations of the Farm Settlements for the purpose of the production of livestock, and Dairy etc.
Purpose of the bill
1. To forcefully transfer agricultural lands from Imolites to those whom the Governor will select.
2. To control farming by ensuring that only a select are allowed to farm on large scale.
3. To extinguish subsistence farming through which many families in the State survive.
4. To pave way for Fulani herders to have legal control of lands and use same for grazing.
To Islamize Imo State.
5. To handover productive lands in the State to those whom the governor so chooses.
Imo State is not a dairy producing State. Imolites should stand up against Rochas and his evil Grazing bill.

Ha ha ha . Owerri Mega City Gov. Okorocha Rochas now sees there are three senatorial zones in Imo state.

This man has practically stifled Okigwe and Orlu to death as he builds and destroys roads in his Owerri Mega City even where no body lives in the city.

This man doesn't seem to understand that by 2019 he shall be out of power. Those areas he stifled their development shall equally stifle whatever investment he has in Imo.

Hail Donald Trump, the nemesis to dictators.
The fear of genuine US leaders is the beginning of wisdom for African dictators who kill their people at will.

Divide present Nigeria into as many countries that may emerge. The remaining groups that may answer Nigeria may be great again.

Present Nigeria has three major ethnic groups of divergent cultures, religions and traditions. Any body hoping that one day these groups shall make Nigeria work is hallucinating and telling him/herself lies.

Spending my mobile data to watch a dundee who plunged our Naira to 500 Naira to one US Dollar, because he wants to be civilian president of Nigeria, a man who brought hunger and starvation to hundreds of millions in Nigeria.

Zombies be careful. Omoboriowo take note.

porshnuel:
zombies relax after killing d man buhari go use am campaign 2019 election.....

If na joke, I beg stopam. Buhari to contest in 2019? To do what?

If Buhari contests in 2019, Nigerians must see him as the worst hater of Nigeria's generations younger than Buhari.

By the way are Nigerians stupid to contemplate allowing Buhari a second term?

Its not easy shaa

Reuben Abati the hypocrite. Abati has been preaching what he doesn't practice through out his career in journalism.

Abati the tribalist eulogized Goodluck Jonathan when Jonathan was elected president.
Jonathan appointed Abati as spokesman. But Abati lost his voice completely when Tinubu came with his APC to sack Jonathan.

dunkem21:
He also invited all wailers

Because Trump knows that Wailers are the most brilliant in Nigeria. Wailers refused to elect Buhari, president to destroy the country's currency, provoke soaring inflation, put people to jail without consideration for rule of law.

Wailers of Nigeria knew ab-initio that Buhari is barely educated to write his names, not educated enough to preside over a country.

Let no one be surprised: if it were Nigeria's armed forces alone, they may not be able to defeat Gambia's armed forces.

Buhari divided Nigeria armed forces when he alleged that Nigeria's armed forces fight against Boko Haram was like a fight against the north of Nigeria.

BingoPoohari still lives in the past glory of Nigeria's armed forces.
Buhari who has literally destroyed Nigrria is merely flexing non existing muscles of Nigeria on a sovereign nation, Gambia.

uzobaby:
They will not trend this apology oooo but if it's to report false news against him they won't waste time

But if Buhari wants, he can win elections to remain president of Nigeria. beyond 2019.

How? Because Nigeria's rigged political structure must enable even a worse than Buhari from the north to win any presidential election in Nigeria of twenty federal units in the north but only seventeen federal units in the south.

But instead of southerners to insist on political restructuring to change the political structure created by northern Nigeria through its soldiers, southerners chose to worship northern politicians in the skewed political structure.

jonhemma11:
I don't understand Hausa but according to the information shared by Jimmy, a "registered herdsmen" MACBAN addressed a letter to the inhabitants of Unguwan Gaiya and Mabushi Kataf that they will come for a reprisal attack 'in no distant future' and will begin with the local leaders unfailingly.I don't really know where these communities are but a google search revealed that they are in Kaduna.

Please our readers who understand Hausa very well should explain the contents of the letter better.

IMSUTH at Orlu is being stifled and denied growth by Rochas Okorocha, because of Rochas' private business, again, because IMSUTH is not in his hometown or in Owerri.
