Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural
organisation, Afenifere, has
faulted the claim by Arewa
Consultative Forum on the
reports of the 2014 national
conference.
The group particularly asked the
ACF to “stop peddling the funny
claim of the North being 80 per
cent of Nigeria in land mass and
with a higher population”
because the “fallacies have been
laid to rest.”
A statement on Sunday by the
National Publicity Secretary of
Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin,
said, “All the over 600
resolutions taken at the
conference were by consensus as
delegates never had to vote once.
The only issues that remained
contentious were the
percentages of increase in
derivation, the minerals
development fund and the
disaster relief fund.
“The point of disagreement was
when some Arewa delegates
insisted that they would only
agree to the five per cent
increase in derivation and same
for mineral resources
development all over Nigeria on
the condition that the five per
cent earmarked for disaster
intervention fund should be only
for areas where Boko Haram are
operating, while other delegates
frowned on making Boko Haram
a derivation item.
“The compromise struck was to
refer the items to the president
for a technical committee
harmonisation.”
Afenifere added that the
allegation “laced with the usual
feudal arrogance, outright
misinformation, atavistic
obfuscation and delusory
myopia” would have been
ignored “were it not that
falsehood repeated time and
again may start to wear the garb
of truth.”
It said, “Let us from the outset
make it clear that the unitary
order, which the House of
Arewa, has used to limit the
flourishing of the component
units of Nigeria for decades, has
now entered a terminal crisis
with shrinking receipt from oil
and like a one-legged man
dancing “skelewu”, will sure hit
the ground even if he has all the
stage to himself.
“And when the fall comes, ACF
and co-travellers would wish we
had done the needful. They
should, therefore, perish the
thought that Afenifere is cajoling
them to allow a restructured
Nigeria.”
Afenifere said it was amused
that ACF was still peddling the
claim of controlling 80 per cent
of Nigeria because it had thought
the fallacies had been laid to rest
in 2014 after some of their
delegates had taunted their co-
conferees from the South “with
map of Nigeria drawn at the
back of their babanriga showing
the North as 80 per cent of
Nigeria.”
Odumakin recalled that during
the national confab, delegates
were unanimous that the figures
of all the censuses held in
Nigeria till date had not been
credible due to hegemonic
interference with what should
have just been an exercise to
provide scientific data to aid
planning and development.
It was also agreed that the
natural boundaries of the North
and the South are Rivers Niger
and Benue “but the British drew
artificial boundaries to favour
the North and punish the South
for agitating for independence.”
Afenifere also queried why the
North would be using the issue
of bigger land mass, which was
allegedly cornered to its
advantage, to harvest revenue
from the central purse instead of
cultivating it.
The delegates, it said, also
resolved that if the higher
population claim were true,
“why would a man say his
neighbours should not send their
children to the best schools
because they have to cater for his
own children who are more than
theirs?”

For Ugochukwu Egwuatu, a trader in
Nkwo Nnewi, lack of genuine support
from government, is slowing down
business in the area.
“We’ve not really seen serious impact
of the government over the years,
especially the federal government. I
thank God that Innoson has
succeeded in drawing their attention
to Nnewi, but beside producing the
first made in Nigeria car, Nnewi has
what it takes to lead industrial
revolution in Nigeria.”
He continued: “We have Ministry of
Science and Technology and money
is voted every year, what have they
achieved? Here in Nnewi, with no
government support, you can see the
result; our people are resilient. All we
need is conducive environment to
operate; power supply is still a major
challenge. Notwithstanding, go to
Nkwo Market, there’s nothing our
people don’t produce; traders come
from all over the country to buy
goods. We are seriously contributing
to the economy of this country.
Sometimes, I feel that due to what
happened during the civil war, the
rest of the country seem to be afraid
of empowering the Igbo man to
achieve its full potential,” he said.
After he was sworn in as the governor
of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano
made public his intention to take the
state beyond buying and selling and
launch it into a new economic phase.
To achieve this, the governor
marshaled what he described as Four
Pillars Of Development, which include
Aggressive Mechanized Agriculture,
Oil And Gas, Trade & Commerce, and
Industrialisation.
Already, Anambra Sate hosts a large
number of Industrial Clusters, but
many have raised concern on the
need to strengthen this advantage
with an appropriate policy framework
that will boost the indigenous
capacity in the sector. It is hoped that
the initiative will not only have a
direct impact on wealth creation in
the state, but will also bring down
rate of unemployment.
While the state is currently sealing
agreement with international partners
and investors to actualise its dream,
a nest has been created at the
Technology Incubation Centre Nnewi,
to train youths under the State Youth
Skills and Empowerment Scheme.
Already, the first 500 participants
drawn from the 21 LGAs of the state
are undergoing training at the centre,
which is always beehive of activities.
Though the Incubation Centre was
put in place by the federal
government as part of the efforts to
train young Nigerians in the area of
science and technology, the Anambra
State government, under the present
administration, has seen reasons to
take advantage of the facility to spark
industrial revolution. The programme
is designed in a way that the 500
youths would attend classes three
times a week for free, while the
government provides them with
feeding and transportation
allowance.
While the maximum period for the
training is three months, there are
some skills in the curriculum that
runs for just a month. For instance,
those in cosmetics, chemical and
allied, food and agro processing and
others don’t have to spend three
moths; most of them will be rounding
off soon. But for those into
fabrication, building technology,
foundry, auto spare parts and
leatherwork and so on, they have to
complete three months at the Centre.
To ensure the trainees are grounded
in their field of choice, a special
scheme was developed to perfectly
blend theoretical learning with
practical. While resident
entrepreneurs at the Centre serve as
resource persons for the trainees in
different fields, staff handle the
theoretical aspects. With standard
laboratories and workshops manned
by scientists and engineers, who are
professionals in those fields, the
trainees have all is required to excel.
Though, the current batch is made up
of mostly youths with secondary
school certificate, there are graduates
among them, who see the
empowerment programme as an
opportunity to have practical
knowledge of what they learnt in
school.
As it is, only a few of them wish to
take up paid employment; others
want to be entrepreneurs. Of course,
the success story of industrialists in
Nnewi is enough encouragement for
these young one to believe that, if the
Innososns and Ibetos of Nnewi can
make it as industrialists, then it is
possible.
While the Centre provides both
theoretical and practical training for
the participants, the manufacturing
firms around give them opportunity to
see real time production process. The
progarmme is designed in such as a
way that the trainees go for internship
with different firms in Nnewi. And
being a member of the Nnewi
Chamber of Commerce, getting
placement for the interns is no big
deal for the Incubation Center.
“You find that for you to operate in a
system, you have to be part of that
system. Having been member of the
Nnewi Chamber of Commerce, it’s
very easy to interact with the
industries. The main objective of the
excursion is to exposure the students
and we have categorised them into
various skills,” Mrs. Uche Chukwu,
the Center Manager hinted.
While those into chemical and allied
products go to Chikason Group, those
in catering and agro processing are
sent to Tummy Tummy Foods
factory. For those into fabrication and
auto parts, Innosson Motors is their
destination, while those into
electrical and building technology are
sent to Cutix Cable Plc. There’s also
provision for those in the fishery
section to visit a fish and snail farm
in Adazi community.
“Aside from what we teach them
here, the idea is to send them out to
see proper industrial setting and have
the opportunity to ask question. Most
of these industrialists started small,
so this is an opportunity for the
trainee to understand that you don’t
need billions to become an
entrepreneur,” one of the teaching
staff hinted.
Upon graduation, the youths will be
provided with seed money by the
state government to establish small-
scale businesses so as to become
self-reliant.
Providing insight into the state
government’s commitment towards
ensuring the viability and
sustainability of the empowerment
programme, the then Commissioner
for Science and Technology, Mr. Obi
Nwankwo, said the programme is
collaboration between Anambra State
and Federal Ministry of Science &
Technology.
“The federal government handles the
area of management and
administration, payment of the admin
staff, procurement of some of the
equipment and infrastructure
development, while Anambra built all
the facilities and structures at the
centre.”
According Nwankwo, who now heads
Ministry of Public Utilities, apart from
the participants getting necessary
skills, the government sees the
program as a key component of its
economic enablers.
“It will provide ready skilled work-
force to support and service the
state’s areas of needs in the governor
Obiano’s Four-Pillars of Agriculture,
Oil & Gas, Trade and Commerce and
Industrialisation. The 500 youths
participating in this phase one
programme were selected from a
database of over five thousand, who
were registered in the state Ministry
of Science and Technology to reflect
a cross-section of the state and the
applicant’s area of interest. So far, we
are impressed with the result we are
getting and the governor is already
thinking of having the second batch
on board,” he said.

Some years ago, when some Nnewi traders in Lagos resolved to head back home and reestablish their motorcycle business, it looked like a mission impossible. Really, leaving the commercial nerve centre of the country at that time, with all its potentials, for a local community like Nnewi, was indeed a huge risk. However, after weighing the pros and cons of doing business in Eko, especially with the activities of the area boys, the traders made the move, which eventually paid off. Today, what started merely as a trading centre for motorcycle spare parts at Nkwo Nnewi Market has turned the town into an economic hub of the east, with companies and industries scattered all over the place. Notwithstanding the level of industrial activities taking place in Nnewi, commerce is still major. It is on record that the first indigenous car manufacturing plant in Nigeria (owned by Innoson Group) is located in Nnewi, while the first wholly made-in-Nigeria motorcycle was manufactured in the town by the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI). So, to a large extent, Nnewi holds the ace in technological advancement of the country. When approaching the commercial town from Nnobi axis, you will surely know that a commercial centre is just near by; the signs are everywhere. Being the home of motorcycle in Nigeria, which remains a major mode of transportation here, almost every home owns at least one bike. Unlike in other parts of the country where ridding a bike is more of men’s thing, in Nnewi, it is everybody’s affair; from women to children, elderly… everyone is involved. From left to right, there are economic activities going on at every corner. Welders, technicians, traders dealing mostly in automobile products, restaurants… there’s no place for idle minds. Though the town has grown in strength as regards industrial activities, Nkwo Nnewi Market still remains the centre of attraction. It is more like the exhibition ground for goods produced in the area. From large-scale manufacturers to small-scale entrepreneurs, who use charcoal to produce motorcycle break pads to big time industrialists, Nnewi has positioned itself as the Japan of Africa, as it is home to many major indigenous manufacturing companies. From Ibeto Group of Companies to Cutix Plc, Uru Industries Ltd, Omata Holdings Ltd, First Aluminum, Cento Group of Companies, Coscharis Group of Companies, Innoson Group of Companies, Tomy Tomy Group, Ngoo Bros, Ebunso Nig. Ltd, John White Industries, Ejiamatu Group of Companies, Chicason Group, Louis Carter Group… the list is endless. Interestingly, majority of these industrialists, especially those within the automobile cluster, were once traders. In fact, most of them, such as Innoson, Tummy Tummy Group, Coscharis actually started from Nkwo Nnewi where they sold motorcycle spare parts. Except for the likes of Cutix Plc, whcih has a background in engineering, a large number of these industrialists started from Nkwo Market. Having experienced first hand how technology boosted the Chinese economy, these men, who started out as importers and franchisee for major Chinese brands, have since migrated into production. Obviously, the achievements of their foreign partners might have spurred them to take a chance. Forget their grammar, which might not be as fluent as that of the Queen, but these men understand how to apply science and technology to satisfy need and earn good money. And with a vibrant Nnewi Chamber of Commerce, which sometimes provides the intellectual aspect of the ventures, things are look bright for them. According to history, the first Igbo man to own and drive a car was HRH Igwe Orizu I (Eze Ugbo Onya Mba) in 1912. And by 1940, Nnewi residents were at the center of an international trading network that dominated the supply of motor spare parts in Nigeria. The town subsequently became a center for commerce and industry, and has one of the largest automotive parts markets in Africa. Besides the big players, small and medium sized industries have also joined the venture, producing for both Nigerian market and for export. Since 1970, Nnewi have controlled approximately 80 to 90 percent of the motor-parts trade in Nigeria. This has made Nkwo Nnewi Market the major import and wholesale point for motor spare parts in Nigeria. The industrialists on their parts are adapting foreign technology for local needs, providing employment for thousands. “Nnewi is a success story, which Nigeria as a country, is yet to celebrate. Funny enough, majority of these people that championed this cause never saw the four walls of the university; most of them managed to finish secondary school. But today, they control the economy of this place. What that tells you is that an average Nnewi man in particular, an average Igbo in general, is naturally gifted,” Charles Muojike, an Nnewi native said.

Radio Biafra: A Stitch In Time...By Ahmad Salkida and Johnson Chinedu Edwin
Our investigations have observed that the Director has a growing influence on the minds of many who come from the other side of the Niger. The danger in this is that people in that region are beginning to accept whatever he says as the gospel truth. To the unreasoning mind, the Director is framing the thoughts of many of his listeners and predisposing them to dangerous tendencies. Without going into specifics, but to underscore what one is trying to say, the relevant authorities should know the danger of a collective mind-set propelled towards a particularly risky direction.
BY AHMAD SALKIDA AND JOHNSON CHINEDU EDWINJUN 29, 2015

In two separate newspaper articles published in 2006 and 2009 in the New Sentinel and Sunday Trust, which can be credited to one of us, Boko Haram’s total disregard for civil values was the main point of discourse. The report in question warned that the government’s disregard for the rebellious inclinations of the group would bring a calculated catastrophe to society. The authorities ignored this and did not consider the imminent peril of society.

Last week, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) of Nigeria urged Nigerians to simply ignore Radio Biafra, a broadcast platform that has committed time, energy, and resources to peddling resentful communication about Nigeria and her constituted authorities. NBC’s management claimed that they were aware of the pirate radio station that is “transmitting seditious and divisive content contrary to the provisions of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code and law” and they are “working with security agencies to track the source of the broadcast.”

Nnamdi Kanu, who is fondly called Director, is the name behind the radio show. On a daily basis, the radio is winning many Southern, Nigerian admirers. According to a random survey conducted for the purpose of this article, an increasing number of traders, men and women in villages, schools, and commuter buses tune to the 97.6 band width. In Aba, Abia State the radio’s audience is growing steadily among young people.

A public commentator known as “Onye Nkuzi” on Twitter (@cchukudebelu), recently dissected this phenomenon, lamenting that “the Nigerian State doesn't have a narrative to challenge alienation - we've seen it in the North East and Niger Delta. It pops up again.” Radio Biafra, like the ongoing insurgency in northeast Nigeria, feeds on alienation to peddle a culture of violence through retribution of real and perceived injustice.

Meanwhile, it serves every society well to pay attention to signals and other sub-signals that have the potential to erupt into other disturbing cauldrons of widespread violence. In Asaba, Delta State, with frightful alacrity, an Igbo man brought the consciousness of radio Biafra to one of these writers one evening in the southeast and implored everyone present to tune into the station.

As soon as the right bandwidth was accessible, the voice of the ‘Director,’ Nnamdi Kanu, came through forcefully over the airwaves. To say the least, It was an arresting, almost hypnotic voice, but it was not the voice that was the problem, but the substance of what Kanu said and how he said it that called for concern.

With a warped history of the causes and effects of the 1967 Biafran Civil War, many unsuspecting listeners were spellbound as the voice of “director” resonated over the airwaves with ceaseless histrionics. With his commentaries on a wide range of subjects all geared towards the need for the burdened southern region to secede from the north and “the hypocrite southwest,” he seemed tireless.

Our investigations have observed that the Director has a growing influence on the minds of many who come from the other side of the Niger. The danger in this is that people in that region are beginning to accept whatever he says as the gospel truth. To the unreasoning mind, the Director is framing the thoughts of many of his li http://saharareporters.com/2015/06/29/radio-biafra-stitch-timeby-ahmad-salkida-and-johnson-chinedu-edwin

Sunday, June 28, 2015
Security agents in the country are
currently combing the entire
South East to track down the
source of Radio Biafra broadcasts
and possibly apprehend all those
behind the station.
Already, the National
Broadcasting Commission (NBC)
has described Radio Biafra as a
pirate radio station and accused it
of transmitting seditious and
divisive content, contrary to the
provisions of the Nigerian
Broadcasting Code and the law.
Reports have it that listeners to
the radio station which airs on
104.7 FM cut across age and
political leanings.
It was reported that the radio
station criticised all past and
present presidents, including
President Muhammadu Buhari.
Even the leader of the Movement
for Actualisation of Sovereign
State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief
Ralph Uwazuruike, was not left
out as the station described him as
a sell out, while referring to
Nigeria territory as zoo.
However, Awwalu Salihu, who is
the director in charge of public
affairs at the NBC urged citizens
to ignore the inflammatory
content of the broadcasts and
continue to work towards a
strong, united and prosperous
nation.
He said, "The National
Broadcasting Commission, NBC,
has become aware of a pirate
radio station transmitting
seditious and divisive content
contrary to the provisions of the
Nigerian Broadcasting Code and
the law.
"The Commission wishes to assure
the public that it is working in
conjunction with security forces to
track the source of the broadcasts
and possibly apprehend all those
behind the station.
"The Commission further urges
Nigerians to ignore the
inflammatory content of the
broadcasts and continue to work
towards a strong, united and
prosperous nation," he said.
Meanwhile, indications emerged
that the station has been on air
for years now without successful
efforts to put it off the airways.
Sunday Tribune gathered that the
fact that the station, which also
streams on the internet, has been
around for years and gained
appeal among the people of the
region.

Medicine after death

Some South-West leaders are
currently biting their fingers in regret
over voting President Muhammadu
Buhari into office.

buhariThe zone is particularly angry with
the President, who is the leader of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, for
tolerating the outcome of National
Assembly leadership election, which
did not favour the region.

Buhari’s silence according to them is a
serious indication that the zone, which
queued behind him to ensure victory
at the recent polls, may benefit little or
nothing from the administration.
“For the fact that the South-West
played a key role in the emergence of
Buhari as the President, it is expected
that they would occupy a more
strategic position than the post of vice
president”, said one of the leaders.
They argued that the National
Assembly leadership election, which
eventually placed the North Central
geopolitical zone as a powerful force in
the country’s power equation through
the emergence of former Kwara
governor, Bukola Saraki, as Senate
President and Yakubu Dogara from the
North-East, has depicted the South-
West as not only a weak power bloc in
the equation.
With the power structure now,
the South-West as a region has been
relegated to the background in the
power structure of the country.
Some of the leaders of the region who
also participated in the last National
Conference argue that since the South-
West does not hold any substantial
position in the current power structure,
the region must re-strategise to assert
itself in the politics of the nation.
They further argued that the position
of Vice President, which is presently
held by a south westerner, does not
place the region as a powerful force.
While referring to one of the speeches
made by former President Goodluck
Jonathan during the campaigns leading
up to the 2015 general elections,
National Coordinator of Coalition
of Democrats for Electoral Reform,
CODER, Chief Ayo Opadokun, a
South-West leader, who spoke to the
Nigerian Pilot Sunday on the current
power imbalance, noted that the
Yoruba race made a great mistake by
not re-electing the former President,
considering what he had in stock for
the zone.
He emphasised that the
implementation of the National
Conference report would elevate
the standard of the zone, which is
the reason people of the South-West
should have queued behind Jonathan.

Arrest Pastor
Adeboye, Kumuyi, Myself & Other
Nigerian General Overseers Says
Pastor Tunde Bakare
Highly controversial yet truthful
Pastor of the Latter Rain Church,
Pastor Tunde Bakare is yet in another
controversy. www.naijagists.com
In an effort to make his heartfelt pain
for Nigerians known, he was alleged
to have suggested the arrest of All
Nigerian General Overseers including
himself.
In the sermon the man of God said all
GO s must be arrested and locked up
in prison so they can feel the
sufferings Nigerian are going through.
Here is what he said in the sermon:
“All General overseers and religious
leaders must go to prison, so they
can feel the Nigerian situation. Lock
Pastor Adeboye, Pastor Kumuyi,
myself and others up in a Nigerian
prison, may be if we come out we will
change and put the interest of our
people first. Preaching greed is sin,
we have the confidence of millions of
people and continue to fail them, that
must change ”
Seriously Pastor Bakare must be
given a spot in politics perhaps a
chance to contest for Presidency
again.

Following the xenophobic attempts,
unhealthy social jealousy and the
attempt at embarrassing people of
the South-East origin residing and
doing business in lagos, the following
5 year plan has been drawn up for
deliberation by igbos for plans to
leave lagos in the same fashion the
israelites left Egypt,
Savinggracereporters.com reports.
The list which was obtained by
Savinggracereporters.com from a
Chieftain of Ohanaeze Ndigbo on
condition of anonymity, contain 5
strategic point mapped to be carried
out on or before the year 2020.
Read Below:
1. Relocation of Igbo Children: The
first on the list is the policy of sending
igbo children, teens, undergraduate to
schools in the east
this would lead to more than 3
million igbo students presently
schooling in lagos and neighbouring
schools migrating to the east leading
to inflow of capital to the east to the
tune of N60B
per session at the average rate of
N20000 per student.
The resultant effect will be the
triggering of new investment in the
educational sector never seen since
the end of the civil war.
Also investment in stationery
manufacturing, construction of school
buildings, broadband Internet
infrastructure, aviation business, etc
will add value to the eastern
economy and put a lot of people into
employment.
2. Relocation Of Investment: Second
on the list is the gradual relocation of
igbo investments and capital from the
city of lagos back to the East.
This will require utmost care and
precision and advise of finance
experts.
First to be considered are the
financial and stock broking and
services companies like banks,
insurance etc.
Banks with total igbo ownership or
considerable influence like Fidelity,
Diamond, UBA, Zenith Access, Union
should fuse into a powerful financial
alliance and plan on how to relocate
to either Enugu, Port Harcourt.
This would lead to relocation or more
than 2/3 of the banking business
capital to the east. The relocation
will see to the movement of Nigeria’s
financial capital to port Harcourt
where they will be the major player as
these banks form the core of Nigeria
systemic banks .
Also the movement of financial
services companies which would
follow this move will lead to stock
broking firms, insurance firm,
accounting and auditing companies
boosting the economy of the
east.
3. Consolidated Movement Of
Nollywood To Enugu: The movie
industry which igbos founded single
handedly and built to the third largest
film industry in the world should
without delay be moved to enugu .
Movies must now be made, shot,
produced in Enugu.
Enugu government collaboration will
be needed in building theme parks
and allocations of land or zone for the
sighting of film studio and film or
motion picture schools.
The relocation of Nigerian music
industry, the industry which is
controlled by igbos like Don jazzy,
P-square, Flavor ,Nigga Raw ,J
martins etc with nollywood will form
the largest entertainment capital in
Africa. This relocation will be
followed up by
recording companies
4. Relocation Of The Trading Empire
In Alaba, Ladipo etc: The huge
trading empire which has been under
attack by vultures who often impose
arbitrary taxes, annual registration
fees and babaloja need to be
relocated to the safe cities in Aba and
Onitsha.
This would require making the river
niger navigable, the deep sea port in
Akwa ibom completed and a rail link
from Akwa Ibom to Aba and Onitsha.
The relocation will lead to a more
than N10 billion exchanging hands
on daily basis in Aba and Onitsha
5. Relocation Of The Oil And Gas
Industry To Niger Delta: Firstly this is
for international oil and gas
companies that originally had their
head quarters in Niger Delta until
1969 when some roques with decree
relocated the headquarters to lagos in
the worst form of robbery and
deprivation ever known
to man.

Members of Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), a Pro-Biafra group
from the southeast and south-
south states of the country, last
weekend gathered in Aba, Abia
State, to honour fallen heroes of
their group who died during the
Nigerian-Biafran war.
Numbering over 10, 000, and as
early as 9am, the group gathered
in front of Christ the King Catholic
Cathedral church from where they
took off in groups and marched
through the streets of the
commercial city, which lasted for
over eight hours and cutting
acrossOgbor Hill, Aba-Owerri
road, Tonimas-Umule axis,
Ariaria, Port Harcourt road
through Flyover Bus Stop, among
others.
Traffic was disrupted throughout
their rally, even as the state
governor’s entourage had to take
extra minutes detours to make it
through Ogbor hill to his
Umuobiakwa country home, while
commuters, motorists and
residents of Aba, trooped out in
their numbers to have a glimpse
of what was happening.
Several police patrol had followed
the procession around, while their
patrol vans were also seen at
various strategic junctions where
the Armoured Personnel Carrier
was stationed at Ehi road by CKC,
apparently to ensure that the
peaceful protest didn’t turn
violent.
Speaking, some members of the
group said that the movement in
Aba was to honour some of the
fallen heroes of Biafran, who died
during the Nigerian-Biafran Civil
war, adding that it was also part
of their efforts to further push for
their agitation for the realiasation
of the sovereign state of Biafra.
According to one Kalu Francis, “It
is more than 100years after Lord
Lugard amalgamated the people
of Southern and Northern
Protectorates. According to the
treaty, it was agreed that after
100years, anyone that felt that
they are no longer comfortable
with the way things are being
done, has the right to secede and
that is what we are doing.
“We are the Indigenous People of
Biafra and we believe that the
time has come for us to let the
world know how badly we have
been treated as a people. Even
when we lay the eggs that feeds
the nation, we are still not
benefiting from the eggs we lay.
“What we are saying is that we
want to be free and until we
realise the dreams and aspirations
of our founding fathers, we shall
continue to push the struggle and
push our case to its logical
conclusion.
“People think that we are going to
be troublesome, but we chose the
path of peace and honour as a
non-violent group to pass our
message to the international
community that we are no longer
comfortable. What we want is a
sovereign state of Biafra and
nothing else.”
However, residents of Aba have
commended the police operatives
for exhibiting maturity in the way
they handled the protesters,
stating that it was a paradigm
shift from what was obtainable in
the past.
They added that if the template
set out on Sunday by the police
could be sustained, “they will be
achieving the saying ‘police is
your friend’ and not the enemy of
the public.”
