BIAFRA IS UNSTOPPABLE. |
Abuja - Natives internally displaced after Nigeria ceded the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon will attend the next Biafra National Youth League (BNYL) Congress. BNYL President, Prince Chimezie Obuka, confirmed the development. “The second congress of the Biafra National Youth League will witness the presence of internally displaced Bakassi natives whose land was ceded to La Republique du Cameroun by Nigerian Government without plebiscite,” said Obuka. The congress is set for Obudu in Cross River State at a date yet to be announced. “The aboriginal inhabitants of the oil rich Bakassi Peninsula which lies within the Bight of Biafra will all be present to make known their position with respect to the Biafran struggle,” said Obuka. “There is urgent need to take the struggle for liberation to their door step and they will be highly received in Obudu. Without our people in Bakassi, the Biafran struggle will suffer another setback especially along the Gulf of Guinea,” he added. “There must understand why we want Biafra, they are Efik and would not be allowed to be separated from their fellow Efik, they have every right to choose where they want to be. I urge them to back the Biafran struggle for it will benefit all of us.” In 2013, five years after an agreement with Nigeria, Cameroon took full sovereignty over the disputed Bakassi Peninsula, signalling the end of a bloody conflict over the land. www.news24.com.ng/Nigeria/National/News/bakassi-peninsula-refugees-to-attend-biafra-congress-20160324 |

Since I knew about JAMB, I have never had any news saying that more than half of those that sat for jamb were complaining that they were not given their right scores. When majority are complaining, then its obvious that they are saying the truth. People are just crying everywhere, because its very painful that you are very sure of what you wrote expecting nothing less that 300, and at the end of the day JAMB sent you 180 as your score. Some complained that the subject that they answered just few questions were where they got the highest marks meanwhile failing those they were sure of. Have you ever heard of JAMB dashing people 5 marks, talk more of 40, to tell you that they know that they are at fault and that the scores they gave them at the initial time was not their real score. If those exams where to be remarked, i am 100% sure that more that half of those people complaining will score higher than their formal score plus 40. And now there are not still giving everybody the 40 additional marks no matter the reason for that,is that not cheating, partiality and wickedness. Imagine that someone they originally gave 160 and letter added 40 will now have a total score of 200 whereas there is also another person out there that is normally not supposed to score 160 but was given 160 with no additional mark. And the one with 200 will sit for putme in his/her choice university while the other will not. Is it fair? There should be equity. So therefore its high time the govt should come into this situation and solve it. Last year, JAMB came up with eligibility, now it is wrong markings. All Jambites affected seriously needs to disagree with this jamb 2016 result. The govt should look into look into this matter because this is really unbearable. If this where to be some other foreign countries, by now there must have been a record of about 1000 students that have committed suicide. For the fact that Nigerians are not like that doesn't mean they should be deprived of their right. Seriously the government ought to look into this matter. Its either jamb gives the computer the right answers and remark these test or cancel the exam or call them to rewrite their exams after they must have resolved the problems. www.myschool.com.ng/school/news/43950/my-opinion-jamb-should-remark-this-exam-or-cancel-it.html |
While the international media have been largely silent on the pro-Biafra agitation that is currently unfolding in Nigeria, a popular British periodical the Economist has finally gathered some facts about the Republic of Biafra to plunge into the depth of its unique history. Go your own way Half a century after the war, angry Biafrans are agitating again Most Nigerians do not remember their country’s civil war. A large majority were born years after the 30-month fight between Nigeria and the breakaway region of Biafra, which ended when the secessionists surrendered in 1970. Yet over the past month independence protests have erupted in cities across the south-east, where the self- declared state once was. Agitators say that this time they will not be beaten. “Biafra is a country to be restored,” declares one of them. “We are determined to fight to the end.” This is a concern for Nigeria’s new government. Secessionist organisations in Biafra have been agitating for years, but analysts reckon the scale of the current marches is unprecedented. Superficially, they were sparked by the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the outspoken head of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement, and director of Radio Biafra, a pirate station. But the grievances run deep. Nigeria did not exist until British colonialists drew a line around hundreds of fractious ethnic groups dominated by the Igbo in the east, the Yoruba in the west, and the Hausa-Fulani in the north. The country’s regions have jostled for power ever since. Predominantly Igbo protesters have not forgotten that tens of thousands of their people were killed before Biafra unilaterally declared independence in 1967. Between 1m and 3m people died during the war, many as the rebel territory was starved into defeat. In the 45 years since the war ended, they feel they have been blocked from senior political posts, denied public services, and impoverished by a post-war programme that they say auctioned off their houses and returned just £20 ($320, in today’s money) to them. In the presidential election in March most south-easterners voted for the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, who comes from their region. He lost to Muhammadu Buhari, a Muslim from the north. “#NigeriaWillRot”, Mr Kanu’s radio station declared after the results were announced. https://www.naij.com/650656-biafra-restored-nigeria-will-rot-european-newspaper-biafra-protests.html |

"I do not believe in an independent Biafra, but I defend freedom of speech and equality," Nigerian film-maker Dickson Iroegbu toldIBTImes UK. Iroegbu has come under fire in the past few days after he posted a comment on Facebook saying that if anything happened to controversial Briafran leader Nnamdi Kanu - currently detained by the state service (DSS) in Abuja - Nigeria "will burn" Kanu is the director of Radio Biafra and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob). He was arrested in Lagos in October on charges of criminal conspiracy, intimidation and belonging to an unlawful society. He pleaded not guilty. "Some people thought my post was a threat, but it's not," Iroegbu said."I do not support the independence of Biafra, but I believe that Kanu should not have been arrested for simply exercising freedom of speech, a right that our constitution guarantees. "As long as you are not taking up arms, you have the right to say what you want and the government should initiate dialogue. There are people who are confirmed to be terrorists and are free in Nigeria, while a young man who has not in any way afflicted pain is now being treated as a terrorist, according to the news out there". Iroegbu reiterated that although he comes from the Igbo, the largest ethnic group in the Biafran territories, he does not support the calls for independence. However, he added that he understands the frustration of the Igbos, who he said feel neglected by the government and disenfranchised. "My statement does not have anything to do with secession," he said. "My call for the release of Kanu is simple: So that we can move our nation forward. It has nothing to do with destroying Nigeria. "Nigeria is a great nation but the leadership, at the moment, seems it's not there for the country. I am an Igbo man and I understand Igbos' frustration. Igbos are discriminated against and they deserve equity and justice. The Nigerian governement should engage with youths in this country, who are not happy with the treatment they are getting." www.ibtimes.co.uk/biafra-film-maker-dickson-iroegbu-defends-his-nigeria-will-burn-stance-nnamdi-kanu-1530664 |
I WILL DESTROY NIGERIA ,THAT IS BUILT ON LIES, WITH THE TRUTH FROM MY MOUTH - NNAMDI KANU

Lagos (AFP) - When Boko Haram captured territory in Nigeria's northeast last year and declared a caliphate, there were real fears for the sovereignty of Africa's most populous nation. A deadline is looming for the military to end the six years of violence, with signs that troops have wrested back control of most of the towns and villages lost to the Islamists. But now President Muhammadu Buhari is facing another potential headache with the revival of separatist sentiment in the country's southeast and renewed debate over the sharing of oil wealth. Recent weeks have seen a wave of protests calling for an independent state of Biafra, 45 years after the end of the brutal civil sparked by a previous declaration of independence. Now, campaigners in the oil- producing Niger delta are demanding total control of resources to develop the region, which remains under-developed despite billions of dollars earned from crude. Last Friday, the Niger Delta Self- Determination Movement (NDSDM) lobby group, declared the current agreement, whereby oil revenue is divided among Nigeria's 36 states, was unfair. "The 13 percent (share for the Niger Delta) enshrined in the 1999 constitution by the military is depriving us of our God-given resources," the group's convener Annkio Briggs told reporters in Lagos. "We want 100 percent control and ownership of our oil so that we can control our future." - Northern 'dominance' - Nigeria's crude-reliant economy has been battered by the fall in global oil prices, hampering government spending and even the payment of state-sector salaries. Crude accounts for 90 percent of Nigeria's export earnings and 70 percent of government overall revenue. In 2014, the country earned $77 billion from oil exports, according to the US Department of Energy, down from $84 billion in 2013 and $94 billion in 2012. How much each state in the federation gets from the sector has long been a thorny issue, exposing barely concealed regional and ethnic rivalries. Demands for a greater share of oil revenue were a factor in the violence that gripped the delta in the 2000s until a government amnesty programme, which ends this year, bought off militants. Briggs' group argues Nigeria's political architecture, with 19 states classed as northern and 17 in the south, unfairly penalises the southern states where oil is found. "Of the 774 local government areas (administrative divisions within each state), the north is given almost 70 percent," she said, calling it "manipulations for... socio-economic and political dominance". She blamed a succession of northern-dominated military governments for forcing through the revenue-sharing agreement down the barrel of a gun "without our free, prior and informed consent". Briggs denied calling for a break away from the federation but argued every region instead should use its own natural resources to develop itself. The NDSDM was founded last year during a national conference convened by former president Goodluck Jonathan at which delegates recommended the delta region received 18 percent of oil revenue. The recommendation was not implemented before Jonathan left office. - 'Politically motivated' - Nigeria is almost evenly split between a Muslim-majority north and largely Christian south and the sharp division informs most aspects of political debate. But the argument for so-called "fiscal federalism" is seen by some as unrealistic, with sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing not sufficiently developed yet to be sustainable. Anyakwee Nsirimovu, of the Niger Delta Civil Society Coalition pressure group, said demands from southern pressure groups were predictable now Buhari, a northern Muslim, was in power. "Why is it after the defeat of Jonathan you see the likes of Annkio Briggs, MASSOB (Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra) and IPOB (Indigenous Peoples of Biafra) asking for resource control and self-determination?" he asked. The complaints in fact exposed the failure of Jonathan, from the oil-producing Bayelsa state, to help his southern kinsmen during his six years in power, he argued. "Those who lost out in the power equation are behind the crisis," he claimed. But Tony Nnadi, of the Movement for New Nigeria, said every ethnic group had the right to either belong to or pull out of Nigeria, nearly 102 years after the country was formed. "In 1914, the so-called Nigeria came into being through an amalgamation of southern and northern protectorates by the British colonial power," he said. "By the provisions of the amalgamation, we have the right since 2014 to renegotiate the basis of our continued existence. The experiences of various ethnic groups "in the last 100 years have shown we cannot continue in the marriage", he added.

As the tension caused by the activities of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB and Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, refuse to die down in the South East part of Nigeria, the campaign for Democracy CD, has lashed out on some selfish Igbo elements who are crucifying the group for their peaceful approach to the demand for the actualization of Sovereign state of Biafra, to shut their mouth, if they do not know what to say. CD through their South East Chairman, Dede Uzor A. Uzor argued that there is right to peaceful protest, whether what the protesters are reasonable in their demand or not and whether what they are demand is feasible or not, saying that CD will only be against them if they resort to violence or destruction of any kind. CD also called on the people of South East who are sympathetic to the demands of the two groups to boycott using and buying all the products from the stable of the controversial Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr Ejike Mbaka, who described them as evil, since an evil is not expected to use the product of a saint like Fr Mbaka, until he apologize to MASSOB and IPOB. CD ask the Catholic authority to call fr Mbaka to order because he is not the only priest in Nigeria and cannot even count as the one of the first 1000 best priests in Nigeria and should not always be be involved in controversy with people and individuals, saying, if he is not tamed, he will end up being an embarrassment to the respected Catholic community. “We are calling on Igbo Christians to also boycott Rev Mbaka’s Ministry, he is a disappointment to Igbo race, he has not for one day criticized or condemned the brutal killing and open murder of Igbo’s people in the North by the Boko haram insurgents, or ever criticized their activities which are more dangerous and life wasting than what MASSOB and IPOB is doing, we are not surprise because he loves money and they have bribed him with their recent visit to Enugu after which he started talking like he is known for. CD said that about 2338 members of MMASSOB and IPOB youths have been murdered between September 13, 1999 to date by security agents in the country, while over 900 Igbo’s have been killed with bombs by the Boko haram insurgents and Rev Fr Mbaka has not deemed it fit to speak against them, neither has he alerted the federal Government on the state of the Federal Roads in the South East, just because he has been settled. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/cd-condemns-igbos-criticizing-biafra-protest-calls-on-youths-to-shun-fr-mbaka-ministry/ |
OHANEZE DOES NOT COMMAND ANY IOTA OF RESPECT IN SE. BIAFRA IS NOT FOR THE ELITE BUT THE MASSES. |
MOVEMENT for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), yesterday disagreed with President Muhammadu Buhari over his statement that Nigeria was indivisible, describing it as his ‘personal opinion.’ The Movement also boasted that the United Nations (UN) would conduct a referendum for Biafrans to decide on the popularity and acceptance of their cause. The group took a swipe at the military’s decision to quell pro-Biafra protests, just as the South East governors enjoined the protesters to tow the line of peace. But the Acting General Officer Commanding (GOC) 82 Division of Nigerian Army, Enugu, Brig- General Ibrahim Attahiru yesterday re-emphasised the warning against insecurity which the Division issued on Monday to pro-Biafra protesters. “Agitators should know that there is a certain borderline they should not cross,” he said. Briefing journalists yesterday in his office on the activities of pro- Biafran demonstrators across cities in the South East and South South zones, the GOC stressed that as a reminder, the Nigerian Army would like to send an unequivocal warning to all and sundry, more especially to “all those threatening and agitating for the dismemberment of the country, committing treasonable felony and arson, as well as wanton destruction of lives and property, that once deployed, the Nigerian Army shall apply the Rules of Engagement (RoE) to the letter in order for peace to prevail.” However, in a bid to douse the anxiety and end the demonstrations in the South East, occasioned by MASSOB and the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), the Forum of South East Governors yesterday called for an expanded meeting of stakeholders in the zone before reaching a decision. The emergency meeting, which is in furtherance of the forum’s meeting yesterday in Enugu, is scheduled for on Sunday, November 22, same place. Expected at the meeting are National Assembly members, ministers and other invited stakeholders from the zone. At the end of the rescheduled meeting at the Enugu State Government House, the governors also called on “MASSOB and IPOB to continue to tow the line of peace as this is the only way to ensure economic development of the zone.” In what is regarded as its first meeting in Enugu in the new dispensation, the governors expressed concern on the state of the roads in the zone and security. The meeting, chaired by the Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, in its three-point communique read by the governor, resolved to “appoint a high level economic advisory committee to harness the economic potential of the people of the South East working together. The acting GOC said the recent increase in the pro-Biafra agitations in some parts of the South East and South South zones of the country by the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and other similar groups was becoming worrisome. “In cities like Aba, Port Harcourt, Onitsha, Abakaliki and Enugu among others, cases of outright lawlessness, threat to lives and properties have been recorded during demonstrations and protests by these groups,” he said. In a related development, there are indications that the battle to secure the release of the leader of IPOB Nnamdi Kanu has entered a new phase as the group’s directors world wide have engaged the services of renowned lawyers to tackle the Federal Government. By court records, Kanu has a return date of November 18, 2015 for the Department of State Services (DSS) to show cause why it should not be charged for contempt. In a statement by MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Comrade Uchenna Madu, in Abakaliki, the group noted that the President can never openly agree to anything that will affect the oneness of ‘his Nigeria,’ adding that the people of Eastern region will decide that. According to Madu, Buhari should not bother himself about ethnic nationalities, who have decided to leave Nigeria, as it is the people of Eastern region that will decide that. His words: “Buhari should not bother himself about ethnic nationalities who have decided to leave Nigeria, even his people. The Arewas are earnestly willing to opt out because Nigeria, in the real existence, favours no ethnicity but only the cabals, politicians and high profile personalities “Biafranism is deeply rooted in the consciousness of every Igbo man and major ethnic groups in the South South. The Biafra referendum that will be conducted by the United Nations (UN) will testify to our popularity and acceptance by Biafrans.” On the Nigerian Army’s decision to hit Biafra protesters, Madu said: “The Military should not heat up the polity, your threat is very wrong signal to Nigeria because the current Biafra is heavily rooted outside Nigeria. We shall remain non-violent in our pursuit for Biafra,” he said. The Guardian gathered that the decision to hire senior advocates and other reputable human rights lawyers overseas followed a letter by Kanu’s legal representative, Mr. Vincent Egechukwu Obette, in which he declared that “the coming week would be crucial in the struggle to free Kanu” as, according to him, the Federal Government plans to vary the charges against the self determination activist. Part of the letter exclusively sighted by The Guardian read: “I am also writing to sound a note of warning that the coming week will be crucial in the legal struggle to protect, defend and secure the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu hence I request for collective support from all and sundry. “I have had access to him twice amid difficulties; I compelled the Department of State Services (DSS) to allow him speak to his wife after her prolonged cries; I secured the surety and perfected his bail conditions; I took his family members to visit him in detention in Abuja; I have had series of meetings with the Embassies of the U.S., the Russia Federation, Spain, Israel and Britain who later visited him last week.” While disclosing that he was at the moment working with Amnesty International “in documenting series of extra- judicial killings perpetrated by the Nigeria security agents in the last three weeks for transmission to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the legal representative stressed the need for expanded collaboration. “The Guardian further gathered that peeved by international concern for the safety of Kanu and growing apprehensions about the human rights records of the present administration in U.S., the Federal Government was planning to slam treason charges on Kanu to justify his long detention without trial. High-ranking security personnel confided in The Guardian that part of the reason for assigning the Foreign Affairs portfolio to a candidate from Southeast was to perforate the argument of persecution and ethnic vendetta against the Igbo so as to douse the anger of the international community. “Government is not happy about the dust being raised by this IPOB protests in the international community. It is like some countries that felt outraged by Mr. President’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly about the Palestinian question are interested in ballooning the domestic matter into a diplomatic headache for the government,” the source added. www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/11/massob-counters-buhari-sure-of-un-referendum-on-biafra/ |

ANIOMA IS MAJOR PART OF BIAFRA. No personal interest people or groups will drop anioma from the mainstream biafra because it's nuclear part of biafra. You are in the contest of Biafra (all igbos including anioma) rated globally as the most educated, hardworking, etc. people and ethnic nationality. Name one nation or people in the world that have suffered what Biafrans suffered after the war and now and excelled from zero rehabilitation to stardom. The answer is None. Prof. Phillip C. Ofume & Associates have given igbos or biafra the evidence tools to actualize the nation of biafra but the internal NGOs who have moneyed interest have continued worthless efforts such as street match upon street match, conference/ seminar (including one in US which ended the life of President Odimegwu Ojukwu), etc. If land demarcation at ICJ did not fly, Referendum will prevail at the rate of 96%. www.https://m.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=831311960278222&id=427017437374345 |

The Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) on Sunday renewed it calls for the release of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, the founder of Radio Biafra and Director of the Indigenous People of Biafra. Nnamdi Kanu, Director of Radio Biafra and leader of Indigenous People of Biafra In a statement issued in Yenegoa by IYC Spokesman, Mr. Eric Omare, the youth body noted that haven been granted bail and bail conditions fulfilled, it amounts to illegality for the Directorate of State Security (DSS) to keep Kanu in detention. The IYC further called on security agencies to have regard for the rule of law in the exercise of their constitutional duties. It advocated for the use of dialogue rather than military might to resolve the issues leading to protests by pro- Biafra protests in parts of the country and urged the security agencies to respect the fundamental human rights of protesters. “To adopt a military approach to crushing pro-Biafra protesters as being suggested by some military operatives is not the solution. “It would only escalate the crisis. We warn against military brutalization and human rights abuse by security agencies. The right to peaceful protest is an integral part of a democratic society. “The massive pro-Biafra protests in recent times has once more brought to the fore the need to honestly and holistically renegotiate the terms of Nigerian’s existence as a nation. “ To claim that all is well with Nigeria is self-deceit. “The structure of Nigeria must be such that would allow people from different regions to develop at their pace towards realization of the full potentials with been hindered by the wish of people from other parts of the country,” the IYC stated www.saharareporters.com/2015/11/15/ijaw-youths-urge-federal-government-nigeria-release-radio-biafra-director |
