Criminal Nigerian politicians set to legalise looting of public treasury before the collapse of the country


Treasury-Looting Government of Nigeria Moves to Avert Accounts lock-down overseas:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The attention of world governments, Human Rights bodies and the United Nations are hereby drawn to the brazen and unashamed criminality that is called politics in Nigeria and its government. Just a few days ago, thanks to Radio Biafra London, the voice of the massacred, dehumanized, deprived and disenfranchised Indigenous People of Biafra, the world was put on notice on how those who champion the one-Nigeria agenda have been the very people perpetrating abominable crimes that is leading to the inevitable and eventual disintegration of the zoo.

Notable among these looter-politicians is a so-called Senator, Bola Ahmed Tinubu who has more than a dozen foreign accounts in the USA and United Kingdom– thousands of miles away from the country he claims he is serving and wants to preserve. These foreign bank accounts were set up in a bid to hide evil, callous, wicked and avaricious nature of your average One Nigerian politician.

Owing to sustained pressure and exposure by Radio Biafra on the Tinubu foreign bank accounts, the Nigerian State have now hurriedly moved to enact a law to shield and legitimize ownership of foreign accounts by corrupt politicians so as to evade justice in these countries where the law against looting is rigorously enforced.

The Indigenous People of Biafra hereby affirms that NO single person, politician or government agent complicit in the impoverishment of millions of people unfortunate to find themselves in the zoo called Nigeria will ever go free or be pardoned. Should the United States of America, United Kingdom and European Union where these stolen funds are deposited continue to allow this criminally wicked act against the poorest of the poor in the world, they too will be deemed complicit in the suffering and untimely death of millions of people due to economic hardship in the zoo called Nigeria.

USA and UK authorities cannot allow monsters like Bola Tinubu masquerading as political leaders to rob the common people dry thereby starving crucial public institutions like hospitals and schools of much needed funds.

Not President Obama, Prime Minister Cameron or any other world leader for that matter has a bank account outside their country, talk less of having one in Lagos or Abuja. Why Nigerian 'leaders' supposedly educated as we are told hate their people so much as to steal money meant for the development of an impoverished society and deposit same in foreign banks in already developed countries defies logic. Such wickedness can only prevail among a people who are incapable of being described as civilised.

World governments and other watchdogs MUST prevail upon the Nigerian President to pull back from the brink of disaster and not perfect this scam on its citizens by legalising stealing of public funds meant for hospitals and schools. To the Nigerian government and her brood of criminals, we say: you can run but you cannot hide. We are in every country on this earth, wherever you run to we will find you and exert full justice. There will be no pardon, there will be no mercy. It’s not a threat; it’s a statement of fact and a promise.

One-Nigeria for Looters and Death to equity and Justice As the expiration of the 100-year amalgamation of what is Nigeria draws near, many feathers have been ruffled as to why there has risen a wide cry for the disintegration of the country into nations with common interests. Amongst these seas of unsolvable reasons are: false/faulty foundation, incompatibility, religious intolerance, terrorism, deprivation of sections, marginalization and the unending looting of the treasury by politicians. However, determined to maintain the unholy grip over the lives of Biafrans whose resources are the looted “National Cake,” the All Progressive Congress ( APC) which emerged from a political marriage between ACN of the Yoruba Nation and CPC of the Hausa-Fulani Nation gave their fullest push for the final onslaught against and compulsive submission from Biafrans in the just concluded gubernatorial election in Anambra State. To their greatest bewilderment and to the wonder of the world which has sat on in silence as evil against evil is perpetuated in Nigeria against an indigenous people, Biafrans stood and, with unanimity, expelled them with their succeeding Jihadist movement. It is therefore not surprising that one of these One-Nigerianists and core Jihadist, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, would be found to have been operating over a dozen foreign accounts after having looted Nigerian treasury in offices as a governor and a senator of terms many terms. Here we have some of his foreign bank accounts where he has stashed his loot:

The accusation in 1999/2000 that the president's deputy, Atiku Abubakar, privatized Nigeria Incorporated to himself was not investigated because Obasanjo's third term ambition was not strong at the time. Atiku denied ownership of African Petroleum (AP), which in the end turned out to be a bobby trap, laced with huge hidden debt, and was re-acquired by the government through the NNPC. However, Atiku was seen as a product of the Nigerian corrupt system. He retired as a boss of the Customs several years ago, an agency of government that reeks with corruption. There were some spats over contracts for the communications garget for the 8th All African Games in 2003, in Abuja, and the issue of bunkering crookedness, and illegal rents collected on crude oil lifting, which Obasanjo largely scuttled in the heat of his tenure elongation project in March 2006.

In August 2005, and early 2006, we heard of US security operatives raiding Atiku's home in Washington, USA, over allegation of involvement with Mr. William Jefferson, a member of the US Congress, in a US $500,000 bribe over a telecommunications deal in Nigeria. Jefferson was alleged to have said that he needed to give the $500,000 to Atiku, to help secure Nigeria's adoption of Internet technology from the USA based iGate Inc. In mid May 2006, the FBI claimed in a US court to have found marked US $90,000, of US $100,000 bribe money, collected from a business partner for Atiku, concealed in a freezer in the office of Mr. Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson who at the time was claiming to have been duped by some Nigerians, had, in fact, collected $6.5 million from one Otumba Oyewole Fasawe, the Nigerian behind the Netlink Digital Television (NDTV) private business that Jefferson was contracted to supply with technology and failed. Jefferson had with great difficulty, and after a lot of pressure, managed to refund only $1.7 million of the $6.5 million he had received, at the time he was screaming foul-play against his crooked Nigerian partners he swindled. Mr. Vernon Jackson, Jefferson's agent on the NDTV scam, was jailed in the USA in September 2006, for seven years over the deal. William Jefferson himself was jailed in 2009 in the USA over the scam.

The Petroleum Development Trust Fund (PDTF), under the supervision of Vice President Atiku, had apparently been used to finance the NDTV business and some Globacom debts. On May 31, 2006, the US government, in reaction to public speculation in Nigeria, denied having cleared Atiku of involvement in the NDTV fraud. Early in June 2006, Atiku was again alleged in a US court, where further hearing was continuing, to have been involved in the bribery scandal. In mid July 2006, the EFCC went to a bank and collected statements on Atiku's current accounts.

On Thursday 7th September 2006, the Senate President read in the Nigerian Senate, a letter from President Obasanjo accompanying some documentary evidence, alleging conspiracy, fraudulent conversion of funds, corrupt practices, and money laundering, against the Vice President. The submission, which was for the information of the Upper House, claimed that the President, acting on information received from the USA government, set up an administrative panel to investigate the allegations against Vice President Atiku.

The report of the panel, along with the findings of the EFCC, claimed that the Vice President utilized for private purposes, funds put in a fixed deposit account for the Petroleum Development Trust Fund (PDTF), a department of government under his care. In essence, the Vice President was acting as money lender with government money for personal profit. US$10 million of the US$125 million fund was clearly used as collateral in support of a loan of N1.2 billion granted to Otumba Oyewole Fasawe by the Trans International bank in Lagos.

The financial gain made by the Vice President from Fasawe over the loan was paid into Atiku's Campaign Organization account with Bank PHB. Umar Pariya, Atiku's aide, acted as the go between on the transaction. The balance of US$115m of the PDTF money was transferred in April 2003, for reasons unconnected to PDTF activities, to Equatorial Trust Bank belonging to Dr. Mike Adenuga, the Vice president's friend and Chairman of Globacom. The fund's transfer, like the US$10 million withdrawn from it earlier, was done without the required recourse to the Federal Executive Council (FEC). Argument by the Vice President that the US$115m was put in Adenuga's bank eight months after Globacom's operating license was paid for or that no money was lost, does not alter the fact that the fund was moved without FEC's awareness and for purposes unrelated to PDTF projects, including possible attempt to cushion Globacom over an urgent business deal or external debt repayment pressures for personal profit.

The Vice president's defense at the time sounded like: 'I am guilty but I shared my illicit gains with the President and my party, the PDP.' The Vice President, now politically dead, alleged that the President's profits from the messy deals included N3 billion directly; their joint billions of Naira campaign fund; N100 million made to the president's IBAD construction company; N11 million given to his Bell Comprehensive High School to buy buses; N200 million used to clear some of the president's debts; N100 million contributed to his campaign fund; ugly arms deal scams; funds given to his African Leadership Forum and to buy cars for women (married or not), he was ensnaring to his bed etc; N500 million made available to the campaign chest of the PDP.

On Tuesday October 3, 2006, Chief Dan Etete, a Petroleum Resources Minister in General Abacha's regime, opened a can of worms on the Vice President's ugly oil deals, and how INTELS, (a company in which the VP had substantial interest and shared ownership with two Italians, Messrs Gabriel Volpi, and Angello Perruzi, and a Switzerland based lawyer called Lugano), sold a piece of land on the water front in Port-Harcourt to Shell for US$100m. The VP, using INTELS, and (Pecos Nigeria Limited, a business front of Otunba Oyewole Fasawe), blackmailed and pounced on 50% of Malabo's oil bloc 245. Then with the connivance, treachery and crookedness of Shell, the Anglo Dutch Oil giant, stole the entire bloc 245 from Malabo at US$210m profit to the Vice president and his business cronies. Using similar tricks, the VP's INTELS and Associates cornered 20% stake in oil bloc 247 belonging to another party.

The VP's defense was that Etete should not be taken seriously because he was in exile after 'supervising the collapse of Nigeria's refineries. and that Etete stole over US $5bn from the public treasury and allocated the oil bloc in question to himself when he was Minister of Petroleum Resources.' That during the scam in question and since, the Petroleum Ministry has been under the firm grip of the President, 'all by himself, these last seven and half years. Every Nigerian is literate to the fact that all enquiries on oil and related matters go to the president's desk.. When the big masquerade behind Etete is courageous enough to come out, the Vice president will respond.' What this means in essence is that others not mentioned in Etete's report profited along with the VP from his oil projects' looting business.

The Arab world desperately wants Nigeria dead or under their firm control. In June 2010, Gadhafi announced in Libya that Nigeria should split into several countries or at least on religious basis of Islam versus Christians or North versus South.

If this failed, the Arabs want a Somali or Sudan situation in Nigeria, preferring the Somali scenario if they cannot control Nigeria because as they claim, Nigeria is too large. What they mean by too large is that Nigerian influence in Africa is creating a clog in their efforts at Arabizing all of Africa.

The arrow head of the Arab world's Arabization policy in Africa is Gadhafi who after forcibly annexing the Auzon Strip from Chad,

sponsored destabilization in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Mali, Cote d' Ivoire, Niger, etc in pursuance of the Arabization of Africa policy, laced with inordinate imperial personal ambition. In 1998, his strategy got a fillip with the founding of his community of Sahel-Savannah States (CEN - SAD) which he was hoping to use to control the envisaged African Union (AU.) The CEN - SAD, at the moment, ropes in 25 African states from West, East, and Central Africa, and includes Senegal, Cote d'Ivore, Chad, Sudan, Somalia, Comoro Islands etc. Most of these unsuspecting African countries were stable until they joined CEN - SAD.

Nigeria refused to join CEN-SAD so the Arabs used jihadist President Babangida to smuggle Nigeria into the full membership of the Organization of Islamic countries (OIC). Nigeria is not an Islamic country, if anything she is circular by her constitutional provisions but Nigeria remains a member of the OIC even now and becomes active in it when a Northern President is in power. On 9 May, 1997, in flagrant defiance of a UN embargo on flights in and out of Libya, Col. Gadhafi invaded Nigeria with his planes carrying 1,000 members of his rag-tag army, plus 500 journalists. They strategically occupied the Kano airport and his other reception facilities, with the connivance of his Nigerian Muslim dictator host. The purpose was to launch a jihad in supposedly religiously secular Nigeria, or at least precipitate a serious schism between the predominantly Moslem north of the country and the Christian and animist south. Nigeria proved too sophisticated to be so cheaply destabilized so Gadhafi settled for an accommodation to come to the aid of Abacha who was ready to plunge Nigeria into chaos at the time to become President for life in the mould of President Nassir of Egypt. The deal was finally sealed during Abacha's overnight strategizing meeting with Gadhafi in Chad just before Abacha died mysteriously in office frolicking with Arab prostitutes.

With Nigeria returning to the semblance of civilian leadership in 1999, the Arab world decided to use 'Sharia' to dismember Nigeria. Pakistan, Libya and Saudi Arabia, to name a few countries, pumped substantial funds into Zamfara, the first of Nigeria's Sharia states, to start the process of Islamizing, (or at least to trigger mayhem and civil war) in Nigeria as in the Sudan. There have been a series of skirmishes since then in the guise of Islamic fundamentalists such as the Boko Haram gangs or imported jihadists from the neighbouring country, Niger, sacking whole Nigerian villages at night or burning down police stations and killing law enforcement officers in broad day light.

In June 2010, Iran smuggled 30 container loads of war arsenals into Nigeria, including rocket launchers. Iranians nationals acting in collaboration with some Nigerian jihadist former heads of state and political leaders were involved. The documents used for the shipment of the deadly cargo, with the cooperation of the Iranian Embassy in Nigeria to facilitate quick diplomatic clearance, claimed that the cargo contained building materials. As soon as the cargo was detained by the Nigerian authorities, the leading Iranian fronts for the consignment were smuggled out of Nigeria and the embassy began to claim as damage control measures, that the consignment was meant for Israel. Nigeria is not such an ally of Israel that Israel would turn a blind eye to the shipment of deadly arms from Nigeria. Why Nigeria, she is not Israel's neighbouring country? There lies the attempt to cover up Iran's culpability.

At the time the cargo was being smuggled into Nigeria, Nigerian sick President Yar'Adua had just died in a Saudi hospital as guest of the Saudi monarch. Saudi Arabia connived with the family of Yar'dua and the leadership of the Nigerian army at the time, a General of Northern Nigerian stock, to smuggle Yar'Adua back into Nigeria like a thief in the night. The Nigerian security system was severely breached and troops were moved from the North to secure strategic locations at the nation's capital Abuja, including the seat of power, for the clandestine incidence. In the morning, they ransacked the Acting President's office to intimidate him and tried to stage a coup by laying in wait for the Acting President, Goodluck Jonathan, to occupy the President's seat so as to be arrested by them for usurping the seat of the President who had returned in the night to the country.

The jihadists Northern ex-Presidents and their cohorts have since vowed to prevent Goodluck Jonathan from completing the two terms he won with his leader, President Yar'Adua, on the pretence of defending rotational Presidency that re-cycles rogues as leaders that have nothing to offer. The rogues recruited a popular Television station strapped desperately for funds, to fight their cause for them. There is the allegation that the Abuja bomb blast on the 50th anniversary of Nigeria's independence was an attempt to make Nigeria look insecure and a failed state in the eyes of the rest of the world.

The truth, however, is that the North has never given Nigeria good leaders. The North has always foisted on Nigeria bad leaders who are either stealing Nigeria dry in office or too sick to govern. After fifty years of failed leadership produced mainly by the North: Gowon, Shagari, Buhari, Babangida, Abacha, Atiku, Yar'Adua, Nigeria urgently needs a breather from the crooked, dim and spent mob that over the period, collectively and systematically brought Nigeria down to her knees, destroyed our hopes, and turned our prospects as a people into painful despair. I do not think the North is short of quality materials. After all, while the South gave us Awo and Zik, the North produced leaders in the mold of the Sarduana and Murtala Muhammad. So why are characters like Babangida, Buhari, Atiku still fronting for the North now that Nigeria has reached the edge of the grave the Northern leaders dug for her? Does the North so desperately want Nigeria to die?

All that Babangida, (nicknamed IBB), has to show for his over eight years in power in Nigeria, is private colossal wealth, and the edification of corruption in our body politics. The book, The Sink, by Jeffrey Robinson, an American writer, says it all about Babangida. 'Of the $120 billion siphoned out of the Nigerian treasury into offshore accounts by dishonest politicians, $20 billion is allegedly traceable to IBB directly as president from 1985 to 1993.' The Wolfsberg Principles, an initiative of 11 banks and institutions across the world to fight serious international financial crimes, traced another $3 billion of our stolen money to Babangida's accounts abroad, and $4.3 billion to Abacha's. The World Bank and other international sources of information allege that his total loot from the Nigerian treasury is over $35 billion. Now he is threatening to use a fraction of that money to return to power and a figure of N400 billion has been mentioned by his cronies as his campaign chest.

The Gulf war oil windfall is Babangida's often-referenced loot. Abacha set up a panel headed by the highly respected economist, Pius Okigbo, in October, 1994, to reorganize the CBN. Okigbo's panel discovered that $12.2 billion of the $12.4 billion accruable from the Gulf War excess crude oil sales was frittered away or unaccounted for, through nebulous or phantom projects that could not be traced. Only $206 million was left in the account. According to Okigbo, 'disbursements were clandestinely undertaken while the country was openly reeling with crushing external debt overhead. These represent, no matter the initial justification for creating the account, a gross abuse of public trust. '

John Fashanu, in a private investigation published in African Confidential early in Obasanjo's current regime, discovered an alleged $6 billion debt buy-back scam by IBB between 1988 and 1993. Another $14.4 billion disappeared into off shore accounts as currency stabilization and debt buy-back scheme that actually cost $2.5 billion. One of the front-companies used, Growth Management, based in London, bought the debt for 10 cents per dollar and resold to the government at 45 cents to steal 35 cents per dollar. Fashanu was trying to recover about $17 billion for the Nigerian government only for the CBN to say they had no records of the deals. The records are out there abroad but cleaned out at home to conceal the (theft) deals.

Babangida was ruthless in the way he amassed his colossal wealth. First is the illegal self-allocation of free oil, sold on the spot market. Then he initiated the corrupt culture of maintaining a huge monthly security vote virtually as personal pocket money. Rather than repair our refineries, let alone to work at maximum capacity, IBB built private refineries in Cote d'Ivoire and the Republic of Benin, where he took our crude to refine and sell back to us as fuel.

Luscious contracts for the construction of Abuja were awarded to front-companies of his and his cronies, including Julius Berger and Arab Contractors that between them virtually single-handedly handled the construction of the new Federal Capital. The security danger of foreign companies solely constructing a country's capital and having access to its structural secrets, including possible Presidential underground escape routes and military arsenal volts, is mind boggling to say the least, but that is an issue for another day.

Although Babangida used mostly fictitious names for his numerous accounts abroad, EFCC could zero in on some of the accounts by following up on the dusts raised early in 2003 over the financing of his GLOBACOM. Documents on the loan supposed to have been granted on 9 February, 2001, were dated 28 August, 2006. The original 'loan' letter has not been presented. Apparently, Paribas Bank, based in Paris, was managing a slush fund from which investments in excess of US$400 million was made to buy into Alcatel (Globacom's technical partners), Bouygues Telecoms, Peugeot and Total finaelf.

Alcatel and Parabel National of France were worried at the time that their invoices for the telecom project were being inflated to launder funds by the supposed private owners of the sources of funds and that private cheques were being issued to finance the staggering project without recourse to borrowing from banks. They suspected illegal laundering of funds and threatened to withdraw collaboration on the project while alerting Interpol to investigate the sources of the private cheques being issued to finance the project. IBB could not participate in Obasanjo's 2003, inauguration ceremonies, because he was allegedly out of the country sorting out the Interpol queries on the Alcatel's slush account alert, at the time. Even now, the telecoms' financing details through Siemens etc, could be investigated by the EFCC tracing ghost cheques to issuing private sources of funds and their local and international banks to unravel possible laundering of funds.

There is this strong allegation among the rank and file of the armed forces, and members of the defense correspondence of our newspapers attached to the seat of power, that Babangida arranged, in the last couple of weeks before leaving office, for several armoured vehicle loads of newly printed naira notes to be delivered daily to his new Minna palatial abode obviously with the connivance of Abacha, perhaps as his mentor's retirement benefit. Abacha and Babangida had several serious financial problems with Abiola but one of them takes the cake. It was over some foreign war booty amounting to US$215m. It is alleged that Babangida had asked Abiola to help launder it when Babangida was in office but Abiola was not interested.

Babangida allegedly side-stepped Abiola and eventually prevailed upon a member of Abiola's family in the custom of family friendship, to rescue the situation. Then the person suddenly died. It is further alleged that Abiola was asked to return the money and he truthfully and honestly said he knew nothing about it and even if there was such a thing, he had no authority over the matter. Then he was asked to pressurize the children of the deceased to play ball. Abiola refused, arguing that he had no legal or moral right to do so. The kids of the deceased wanted Abiola released but Abiola was too principled to succumb to blackmail so the powers that be decided early after his arrest, that he would die in detention for declaring himself president.

Perhaps you would want to join me to play the prude accountant, generous with figures. Let's pretend that Babangida was a General throughout his service years in the Nigerian army. Again let's assume he spent 30 years in the army and was paid N100,000 monthly (actually, salaries of Generals were less than N10,000 a month until recently) and he saved every kobo of his salary. He would be worth about N35,000,000 plus interest in the bank today. But Babangida's 50 bedroom palatial abode in Minna is alleged to be conservatively worth billions of naira and he does not owe any bank on it. The largest, most prestigious housing estate in Alexandra, Egypt's leading holiday resort town, is alleged to belong to Babangida. Even Egyptians cannot afford his rent, which is alleged to be in dollars. All his tenants are rich foreigners and the staff of multi-national companies operating in Alexandra. The estate is alleged to have its own airport, which Babangida uses when he visits in his private jet.

Babangida is alleged to own several other housing estates around the world, including houses on Bishop Avenue in London. He uses his London houses, it is alleged, as guest houses or gifts for people on his compromise list. He is considered generous with gifts of cars with their boots stuffed with naira notes when he wants some jobs done.

In the area of managing the national economy, Babangida bestowed his adroitness and moral degeneracy. His economy was dominated by male-wives, particularly in the banking and oil sectors. Women often brag about the efficacy of 'bottom' power. Feminine men sometimes flaunt it too as their passport to economic liberation. Between them and the suddenly very lucrative 419 business of the time, industry was complete. IBB's chiefs, allegedly colluded with 419 criminals to create the over-night semi-illiterate money-bags without class or shame, (including the 150 members of the National Assembly, that in 2005 sent IBB a birthday card), and who together now form the bulk of his supporters and campaigners, to return him to power. Babangida (sapped) or totally wiped the middle class out of existence with the destruction of the naira, which he did by fiat in 1985, when he down graded the naira exchange rate from about N2 to N18 to the dollar. By the time he was forced out of office in 1993, the naira was exchanging at N60 to the dollar. Society was reduced to two social classes of either the very poor or the rich rogues. Babangida should be heading for Kirikiri not Aso Rock because the fight against corruption is a sham otherwise.

Shagari's regime (1979-1983), incurred Buhari's wrath when it decided to investigate the US$2.8 billion that disappeared from the Midland Bank, London account of the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation, (NNPC), during General Obasanjo's era as military head of state that preceded Shagari's. Dr. Olusola Saraki, Turaki of Ilorin, was the majority party leader of the Senate at the time and he headed the Senate Committee set up to trace the stolen money after some three years of clamour for such an investigation by members of the civil society. The money was traced to the Midland Bank London branch fixed account of Buhari, Obasanjo's appointee as military head of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. The Committee's report was presented to the Senate during the tail end of Shagari's regime in 1983, so the House decided to deal with the matter soon after the 1983 general elections.

The attempt at civilian-to-civilian transition provided the fillip for mayhem at the time. The elections were marred by massive rigging because incumbent political office holders were refusing to slacken their stranglehold on Nigeria Plc., mortgaged as the leaders private property. On the 31st December, 1983, Buhari struck under the cover of the political commotion that trailed the presidential election results. Buhari generally had no agenda for leadership but vendetta against those he called critics and rabble-rousers. Buhari did not see any moral wrong in his conversion of our oil money into his personal use. Rather he railed at the press and what he described as the self-righteous sections of the country for making a big deal out of the issue. He locked up without trial, politicians and critics including Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, notorious for clamouring for the exposure of the oil money rogue. Satire saved my neck at the time. Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter then, was sacked through his prodding as military ruler, for reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told her in an interview about how the missing money was traced to Buhari's account at a Midland Bank London branch. Vera eventually won her case of wrongful dismissal in court against the NTA and was financially compensated.

Abacha rehabilitated Buhari with the chairmanship of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) before he (Abacha) died in 1998. When Obasanjo returned to power in May 1999 as civilian president, he found that over 2.5 billion naira had not been properly accounted for in the PTF and that there was not much on the ground to show for the colossal expenditure the agency was claiming. On the day Obasanjo announced the scrapping of the PTF, a non-staff brother-in-law of the boss, allegedly serving as his conduit on some PTF projects, died suddenly from what appeared to be heart failure. Haruna Adamu, who was appointed by Obasanjo to investigate the PTF before finally consigning it to the dung heap, allegedly quickly pocketed one hundred million naira of PTF's money before operating table could be set up for him, thus forcing Obasanjo to hurriedly close the place down without further investigations. Buhari has been trying desperately since to return to power, perhaps to get a chance to shred the PTF documents?

Report from the office of indigenous people of Biafra on the ruling of 25th of June 2013.

By Matthew Mbanaja
The much expected ruling by the trial judge today at the federal high court Owerri, by Hon. Justice S.M.Shaub is hinged on two pre-suit cases emanating from the Biafran trial bundle
First is the Technical omission on the case, using Bilie Human Rights Initiative as against "incorporated trustees of" Bilie as a juristic person, since Bilie is a name and not a person in law and on that ground, the trial judge knocked out the case without dismissal, while advising our lead council to quickly make the necessary amendment and return to court.
The second objection raised by the defendant’s council earlier was the issue of whether the court has the competence to try a case of the magnitude of self-determination as litigated by Biafra.
In his ruling, the amiable trial judge dismissed the argument from the Nigerian council stating that his court has the locus standi to try the case in question. This translates to the legal fact that the case is in continuation despite the technical knockout and not case dismissal as enumerated above.
At the end of the court proceeding, the indigenous people of Biafra who came in their thousands from all over Nigeria , Biafraland and the Diaspora, attended a world press conference addressed by the vice chairman of the elders council of the indigenous people of Biafra in the person of Dr Dozie Ikedife( MD)Ikenga Nnewi, which was a high point of his earlier world conference in London which harped on the role of the council o9f elders of indigenous people of Biafra as a constituted government under the Nigerian customary law constitution.
The lead lawyer, Emeka A.C.Emeka also addressed the mammoth crowd on the stage and progress so for made in the proceedings with emphasis that evry indigenous person of Biafra has a legal right henceforth to have a personal tag/insignia of Biafra provided it does not create a public nuisance.
He went further to give examples that Biafrans can wear their clothes with the insignia of Biafra and stamp made in Biafra on their products, but cannot go to public places to hang Biafran flags or any action that will infringe on the rights general public ,etc
One of the Biafran formidable council, Chief barrister Debe Ojukwu was unavoidably absent due to the ruling same day in Lagos, on his suit against Ojukwu transport Ltd at the Lagos high court
There was a rousing ovation on the arrival chairman of the elders council of indigenous people of Biafra,HRM,Hon.justice Eze Uzobu ,retired at the conference with two first class royal majesties from Enugu state who are also members of the elders council.
At the office of indigenous people of Biafra, the president of Bilie Human Rights Initiative, Engr Innocent Amadi whose late father will be buried on the 5th of July at Amaulu Mberi in Imo state enjoined Biafrans to be law abiding in other not to attract the contempt of the court. A member of the elders council, Bishop Enyioha also prayed for the Biafrans and told every Biafran where ever they are to observe praying and fasting every last Saturday of the month. The fire brand bishop also promised to resume a monthly prayer crusade for Biafrans worldwide
His addressed was hinged on government of indigenous people of Biafra having been established by the Nigerian constitution. All pro- Biafra groups must now come under the authority of the Council of elders of the Indigenous People of Biafra. Only limitation is that it’s not yet sovereign but we have a government on the ground.. International Law says that we must start our case in our domestic Jurisdiction and if denied justice then we take it to the international courts. It's a steady process but we'll get there. The foundation is being laid. Next hearing will be given very soon.
I must say here that I was personally impressed by the appearance of a young radical lawyer by name , barrister Chijioke Emenalo who robed as a member of Biafran legal team , yes because he is member of different groups on this noble social network .He will be presenting to us ,the technical details of the proceedings here later.
I must also comment here that our lead lawyer, barrister Emeka A.C.Emeka, solicitor of England and Wales, is an intellectual lawyer, whose erudite defense of the days motion of objection by the defendants council gave us a victory of knockout on technical grounds instead of total dismissal of this epoch making case that will let our people out of Egypt, he is indeed a Biafran Moses.
Next court date to be announced in due time. The Struggle has just started

• LONG LIVE THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA, LONG LIVE THE MEMBERS OF BIAFRAN ELDERS OF INDIGENOUS COUNCIL WHO ARE STILL BUBBLING WITH LIFE LIKE A GEG OF FRESH PALM WINE AND NOT THEIR COUNTER PARTS IN NIGERIAN POLITICS WHO ARE ‘EFULEFUS’

MESSAGE BY THE COUNCIL OF ELDERS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA TO ALL BIAFRANS LIVING IN NIGERIA AND IN THE DIASPORA

Fellow Biafran’s and salutation to all the people of goodwill worldwide.

Introduction:

It has become necessary for the Council of Elders of Indigenous People of Biafra to address the world and nation of Biafra whose children are scattered all over the world since after the Nigeria-Biafra war that ended in the battlefield in 1970. As some of you may be aware, we are in the Court at the moment with the Federal Government of Nigeria seeking to exercise our right to self-determination. Our legal argument as advanced by our formidable legal team is that we are Biafrans by indigenous identity but Nigerians by nationality. This was forced upon us by the British Government and sustained by Nigeria. We are the indigenous people of Biafraland whose maps existed in the ancient map of Africa over five hundred years before Nigeria was created in 1914. The laws protect the rights of indigenous people to self-determination. We are in court seeking for justice because the Nigerian Government has continued the battle against Biafra in another form through lack of security of lives and property, marginalization, discrimination and hatred resulting in the destruction of our ancestral way of life.

The Council of Elders constitutes the Government of Indigenous People of Biafra under Customary Law. We are the Council of Elders which signed the documents that authorized Bilie Human Rights Initiative to institute action against Nigeria on behalf of the Biafrans. We have been advised by our lawyers that the Customary Law under which the Council of Elders was established as a Government of Indigenous People of Biafra is in consonance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999. The only limitation is that the Government of Indigenous People of Biafra under Customary Law is not yet sovereign. We remain under the sovereignty of Nigeria until we gain independence.

Directives:

Though we are not yet sovereign, we nonetheless have a legitimate organization under our customary law as a people. That government is led by the Council of Elders of the Indigenous People of Biafra. The law of governance requires the people to be under a legally constituted authority. As declared in the Federal High Court of Owerri, the Council of Elders is the government of indigenous people of Biafra, overseeing, managing and controlling the affairs of indigenous people of Biafra. Pursuant to this role, we hereby give the following directives to all indigenous people of Biafra who are presently in court with the Federal Government of Nigeria in Suit No. FHC/OW/CS/102/2012 as represented by Bilie Human Rights Initiative as follows:

1. The Government of Indigenous People of Biafra headed by the Council of Elders is the only leadership organ that speaks for all indigenous people of Biafra who are presently in Court with the Federal Government of Nigeria seeking to exercise their right to self-determination. We have defined in court that the indigenous people of Biafra whom we represent are those inhabiting the South East geopolitical region of Nigeria, parts of the South-South geopolitical region of Nigeria, and parts of the Middle Belt region of Nigeria.

2. All people who identify themselves as Biafrans are required to take directives from the Council of Elders of Indigenous People of Biafra.


3. We give credit to the Federal Government of Nigeria and testify that the Nigerian Government has been cooperative and obedient to the rule of law in the ongoing case. We preach the rule of law and follow due process of law in our struggle for independence.

4. We hereby advise all indigenous people of Biafra to support the struggle of Radio Biafra currently broadcasting from London and to join Bilie Human Rights Initiative as the organization registered both in Nigeria and the United Nations to advocate for the rights of indigenous peoples to self-determination.

5. We have noted the fears of some Biafran businessmen and investors whose wealth and riches are located outside Biafraland. It is necessary to allay their fears by stating that when independence is achieved, no investments outside the territory of Biafra will be lost. It will be similar to having investments in a foreign country just as some Nigerians have properties in Britain, America and beyond.

6. We condemn in the strongest possible terms, the news that the Nigerian Police and military personnel have often killed Biafran’s who belong to some organizations without legal backing. We advise all pro-Biafra activists to come under the supervision and governance of the Council of Elders. We still recognize and encourage rights to freedom of association. We also advise the Government of Nigeria to refrain from harassing, intimidating or killing Biafra activists. It is important that the principle of an accused person remain innocent until proved guilty is rigorously adhered to at all instances, Nigeria is still a democracy.

7. Finally, we implore that all Biafran’s wherever they are in the world to support the two projects we have at hand. These are the projects run by Radio Biafra and the ongoing Case in the Federal High Court Owerri, Imo State. We ask that you help in ensuring that these two projects do not suffer due to lack of financial support. They are working for the enrichment of the fundamental rights of all of us. I wish you success in all your legitimate endeavors.

Thank you.

Dudu_Negro:

I dont think radio biafra wants to hear what i think of this biafran drama. Even here in NL i restrain myself from saying everything on my mind. If i go on biafra radio they will put a price on my head after i finish talking.

You will hear that Chief Negro has been kidnapped.

If you think you have a better idea why don’t you call Radio Biafra and have a live debate and prove your point.

GOD bless you our true Elders, we are in support in all you’re doing, in GOD we trust, and we will achieve our independence .Thank you.

byteem: let it be known that the good people of delta state do not form part and do not belong to this biafra tin..

For your information Colonel Achuzia is the Secretary-General of Council of Elders of Indigenous People of Biafra. I think you should say me and my family are not part of this Biafra of a thin.

Dudu_Negro:

No, my point is not noted. Let me highlight this point further for you to grasp the magnitude of this error.



This does not agree with any historical precedences in which territorial interests under contention were severed and given sovereingty. It is wrong to merely dismiss this as a simple "investment in a foreign country". People of that country will question your presence on their soil. Your presence is questioned on a daily basis now and under the protection of an enforceable constitution. What rules will protect an indigeneous Biafran in Lagos or Kano or Abuja or even nearby Port Harcourt after Biafra becomes a sovereingty?

I think much thought and wisdom needs to go into the "brand". You need a soft stepping in beginning to kill suspicion, mitigate risks, win buy-in and support. Indigenous Biafran raises red flag of your intentions, whether implicit or explicit. 25yrs from now when all your treaties and alliances are in solid and favorable positions you can then transform again to mark the silver jubilee of your sovereingty.......call it Indigeneous Biafran then!

Statements like this below is a fraud and triggers plots against your mission.

We are the indigenous people of Biafraland whose maps existed in the ancient map of Africa over five hundred years before Nigeria was created in 1914

The above statement is correct, Biafra kingdom existed 400 years before the Whiteman came and said you, you and you I called you Nigeria, no consultation of what so ever. Otherwise please educate on Biafra how the name came to be.

noblezone:

While the case is going on, there is a need to sensitize our people on the new move.
A lot of people are yet to be properly informed.

Yes Radio Biafra is working on sensitize our people. They have lunch an appeal to acquire AM transmitter, Satellite broadcasting and printing press, to enable them to educate our people.

If we don’t get the justice from Nigeria court, which is what most of us want any way, so that we can go to the international court, victory is on the way even if it takes time.

Slowly step by step we will pull out of Nigeria, nobody consulted us before putting in the Zoo called Nigeria.

Keep it up Council of Elders of Indigenous People of Biafra !!!

How Northern Nigerian Politicians have contiunued to lie to this day about the Biafran war of liberation...Will Niger Delta People allow themselves to be deceived yet again?

They in Niger Delta would have been completely eliminated if not for us...Alhaji Mamman Abubakar Danmusa (FORMER DEPUTY SENATE PRESIDENT)

Those who feel that north has finished I think they either don't believe in God or they are not students of history. They should reflect to know that we used our lives and our people to liberate them from the Biafran situation, they would have been completely eliminated but our people really gave them hope, if not because of our resolve using our resources really there would have been no Niger Delta by now. And I believe our people are silently rethinking

Alhaji Mamman Abubakar Danmusa was Deputy Senate President in the Second Republic. Now a chieftain of the CPC in Katsina State, Danmusa in this interview explains the persistent internal crisis in Katsina CPC and why President Jonathan should not be allowed beyond 2015, among other issues.

Excerpts:

The crisis within the CPC in Katsina has persisted, why?

Because there is injustice and there is no attempt whatsoever to correct the mistakes. It is very unfortunate that things are going this way in the CPC in Katsina the home town of General Buhari. In fact the crisis has devastated my life, when somebody whom I had great respect for came out publicly and said several times that whoever was elected during the CPC's primary election can be changed. Let it be on record and I will like to be corrected, I have never supported Yakubu Lado Danmarke's candidature during the 2011 governorship election. I only supported Alhaji Mannir Yakubu because he was a better material that you cannot compare with any of the CPC candidates at that time.

He devoted his life and resources to the course of General Buhari in the ANPP and more especially during the CPC formative years. We toured the 19 northern states and we did not receive a kobo from anybody including General Buhari. After we have completed the tour, we submitted our report to General Buhari, on Wednesday 7th July, 2009 at 2pm in his house. The general then asked us to go back and write a position paper which we did and this led to the formation of the CPC, which was registered I think on the 28th of December 2009.

I am somebody who made a name and I am not corrupt, I held public office at the early stage of life, at 36 I became the Speaker of the defunct Kaduna State Assembly and I did not steal even what belongs to me by right like constituency allowance when I was given, I returned it to the public treasury and collected receipt. When there was military coup I was invited to Lagos but released the following day because I did not steal from the public treasury. The first time I saw Buhari was in 2002. I have been in politics since 1962 just to serve my people.
My political ideology is that of NEPU and even when I joined the NPN I always expressed my opinion whenever the need arose. For example in 1983 President Shehu Shagari wanted late Sulaiman Takuma to return as national secretary of the party but we thought otherwise and our candidate, Senator Uba Ahmed whom we campaigned for defeated late Takuma, so I always speak my mind.

As I said earlier, I did not steal and I even sold firewood to survive, but I never engaged myself in corrupt practices. So for somebody to think that Senator Lado Danmarke can influence me with money that is ridiculous. Our leader, General Buhari said whoever people elected at primary election will be the candidate of the party, I did not campaign for Danmarke and how he emerged winner of the CPC's primary election I don't know because I was not instrumental to his success, but the crisis within the CPC emanated after Danmarke emerged victorious at the CPC primary election and the leadership of the party at the national level said he was not the party's candidate.

I sent a text message to General Buhari on Thursday, 27th of February 2011 and I said in the text, "Sir I heard that Buba Galadima has said that it is Aminu Masari that would be our candidate for governor. If that is the case I think it is injustice and from the little knowledge I have of you, I think you will not support injustice.' I also reminded him of the text message I sent to him on the 19th of September 2008 in respect of the late Umaru Musa Yar'Adua and I said in the text, "Sir you have seen now the time of Umaru's demise has come because he started to be unjust and as late Shehu Usman Danfodio said a house built on injustice will not last, so you see what happened before he died on the 5th of May 2010. So if we insist on this injustice and I can assure you CPC will not win any election," and that was what happened because the basis of credibility of the CPC is justice and we proved to be unjust so how can God help us?

So when we met in Kano on the 21st April, 2011 at Lado's residence, I said to the hearing of everybody that I will not vote for CPC and I will go to Shema and discuss issues with him and vote for the PDP because I am not a stooge to anybody and I will never be. I told the gathering that I thought I have been betrayed by General Buhari and I cannot take it anymore.

I thought with the shame, segregation and the abuse the Hausa-Fulani are facing today in Nigeria we can minimize it and make a new start but I was disappointed. I am not in politics to make money so how can this boy Lado influence me with money? Who is Lado? Yes he was a Senator, so what? I was a Deputy President of the Senate. So I said this is not what I can take and politics of imposition cannot work. It happened in Lagos in 1992 where a professor was chosen by SDP but Jakande and others thought otherwise and he was defeated by the father of Mr. Femi Otedola and in Kano Magaji Abdullahi who was chosen by the SDP was defeated by Alhaji Kabiru Gaya of NRC because the SDP did not recognize him as its candidate.

It also happened earlier in 1959 here in Katsina when Sarkin Yaki Alhaji who was the then candidate of the NPC for Kankara/Faskari constituency was defeated by unknown person and a grade three teacher, Alhaji Wada Nas of NEPU. And in Zaria late Aliyu Makaman Zazzau a senior council member in Zaria emirate was also defeated by a vehicle repairer. So it is not something new. So when this happened in the CPC this time around people said we have taken money from Danmarke for my son to be appointed commissioner.
It is not a question of money. If it is I would have been with late Umaru Musa Yar'Adua but because my politics was based on NEPU's philosophy I refused to associate myself with him politically. I had hoped that with General Buhari, we, the Hausa-Fulani could really start to build ourselves politically but we have lost that chance. So it is injustice and I challenged anybody to prove me wrong because I have all the documents to defend myself as far as this issue is concerned. I stand to be challenged or be corrected.

How can the crisis be resolved?

It cannot be resolved because it has passed a point where it can be addressed. People who did not contribute to the formation of the CPC and did not participate in the struggle of making the CPC to be what it is today hijacked the party with the connivance of Alhaji Sule Yahaya
Hamma and Engineer Buba Galadima and with acquiescence of General Buhari, so we are messed up and called all sorts of names to destroy our reputation but God is great and He is always with the just. Even the general can testify that I have never collected a kobo from him and I have never asked a favour from him. All that attracted me to him was that I thought we can together to change the life of the common man because I believe the type of situation we have found ourselves in today would lead to terrible things and the way this country is moving should not be left unchallenged. So I thought with General Buhari we can do it and that's what attracted me to him but I am disappointed.

What is your take on the ongoing merger talk by the ANPP, ACN and CPC?

Well, although I am not part of the talk and I will never be, I wish them good luck because this is what Nigerians wish to have at the moment. Without this kind of move only God knows what would happen to this country. But knowing the strange bed fellows and the personal knowledge I have about the personalities involved in the merger talks whether they will succeed only God knows, but I wish them the best of luck because PDP is really leading us to anarchy and it is very unfortunate. Armed conflict is everywhere so the question of development now does not even arise. Look at the happenings in Borno where large hectares of farmlands were taken over by the insurgents.

Are you doubting of the coming together of these parties to form APC?

Well, I should be proved wrong but at this stage I will not comment on the personalities involved in the merger because I know what we have done from 2010 to 2012. Most of the personalities involved were either in the ANPP or AC then and I know what we have done but really it will not succeed but as I said earlier I can be proved wrong and the merger is what Nigerians need at the present so I wish them good luck. Let us start with the CPC the party does not have structure and I cannot see the present people constituting the CPC making the structure and go down to the grassroots to make the alliance effective. And you can only survive in politics when you are with the grassroots. Insecurity has been the major challenge of President Jonathan administration and lots have been said on how the problem can be resolved.

What is your reaction on this?

I believe Jonathan cannot continue to govern this country. I have been saying it before, this is the design of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. Well, sometimes God the Almighty will give you chance to do whatever you like but believe me or not you will not escape His judgment, so all the
leaders who messed up our country and put us in this situation should await the judgment of God the Almighty. On the way out, we should ask ourselves can the present leadership do what is right. One, I believe you must have a responsible leadership who are in power not to steal
from the public treasury but to change the life of people for the better. People are always remembering our forefathers like Sardauna, ZIk and Awolowo for what they have done to the country but we cannot follow their footsteps because we are not sincere and we are not ready
to do what they did to make Nigeria a great society. Look at what the country got in 1999 during Obasanjo's regime, Nigeria has never earned money as it did during Obasanjo but look at where we are today.

So there must be attitudinal change from the led to the leadership. One, the led must change and imbibe the culture of hard work and discipline because without these there is no way we can make a headway. You must be disciplined and be ready to work hard, you should not be arrogant and you should imbibe the spirit of lowering yourself to earn a living, I have done it in 1983 or 1984 when there was coup,
I came back to my home town opened my chamber and sold firewood to survive and I never regretted it. I never went to those in government seeking for assistance and I never messed up my life.

The Federal Government has finally agreed to offer amnesty to members of Boko Haram sect and a committee has been set up in that respect.

How can you react to this move?

Well, it is something long overdue. Where people reach a point of taking up arms there ought to be something which is fundamentally wrong and which led them to take arms against their country so they had to be listened to and find out what are the problems and start to take measures to address them. Even before FG's amnesty offer to Niger Delta militants, there were so many countries where similar incidences happened and they found that using military will not solve the problem; like in Britain and Northern Ireland they have been fighting Northern Irish Republican Army but when they realized they cannot defeat them militarily, they had to come down to speak with them, offer them amnesty and reintegrate them into the society, that is what should be done to members of Boko Haram sect here in Nigeria.
I hope the amnesty is genuine and it will be executed simultaneously to all members of Boko Haram who are ready to lay down their arms and their families who are in detention should be release, rehabilitated and reintegrated into the society this is what is happening all over the
world. In Afghanistan when the NATO found out that using force will not defeat the Taliban they came down, started to talk to them and they adopted a moderate of restructuring the economy of the country especially in most remote areas and to some extent they were succeeding. I think there is nothing Nigeria will lose by using amnesty to end Boko Haram insurgency.

Those who feel that north has finished I think they either don't believe in God or they are not students of history. They should reflect to know that we used our lives and our people to liberate them from the Biafran situation, they would have been completely eliminated but our people really gave them hope, if not because of our resolve using our resources really there would have been no Niger Delta by now. And I believe our people are silently rethinking to make a difference this time around because the common man in the north has now begun to go back to Agriculture; I mean all season farming and they are impacting so all they need is concerted effort to improve the quality of their education to enable them cope with the modern techniques of agriculture.

What I am saying is that there should be concerted effort either by the government or private individuals who have the means to be awarding scholarship to intelligent students not only to study here but to go to reputable universities aboard to be trained so when they come back they could be absolve as lecturers of the universities and they will form the basis of producing responsible and skilled manpower in our universities this is really the challenge we are facing.

What role should Governors of the affected states play to make the amnesty successful?

Well, they can do a lot. In fact most of the work lies in their hands because if they are doing what they supposed to do using the resources available to them in the productive sectors they will definitely improve the economic status of the state, reduce unemployment and therefore reduce tension in the society.

In your own opinion should President Jonathan contest in 2015?

Though I am not a card carrying member of the PDP and I will never be a member but as an outsider really I know the days of the PDP are over because they are in total disarray and this time Mr. Fix it will not do the magic and I hope he is not out of reality because what he did in 2003 and 2007 cannot be repeated today; the terrain is different and the governors they too they know they are not in control of their respective states and they cannot repeat what they did in 2003, 2007 and 2011.

Should power return to the North in 2015?

It ought to, there is no going back on this because the consequences of not returning power to North is something terrible to contemplate. Those people who will cooperate with President Jonathan to repeat what was done in 2011 are not unmindful of the aftermath of the general election of 2011 so as I said the consequences would be too grave to contemplate; even those bent on having power at all cost they have to remember what happened after the 2011 general election. For the first time the traditional leaders were attacked and so many unprintable things were said about the emirs, I am sure the emirs and chiefs know with these insurgency and other armed groups there will be no security for them.

I am tired of this Nigeria so does everyone we should forget the election 2015 let us divide this country in peace.

By: Sadiq Abdulateef on May 7, 2013 - 1:34am

Again, the issue of Nigeria and her governance took a centre stage yesterday, with the threat by a former member of the House of Representatives and a chieftain of the Congress for Progressive Change, Hon. Farouk Adamu Aliyu that 'it is either a Northerner as President in 2015 or there will be no more Nigeria.

Aliyu's outburst in an exclusive interview with LEADERSHIP in Abuja was a direct response to the ex-Niger Delta militant and leader of Niger Delta Volunteer Force, Mujahid Asari Dokubo declaration on Sunday that 'there will be no peace in the country, if Jonathan was denied a second term'.



Aliyu, who was the 2011 CPC governorship candidate in Jigawa State, said it is unfortunate and sad that Dokubo is still walking the streets a freeman after making such unguarded statement.

He warned that "if Jonathan, Dokubo and their people want to destroy this country, then we are willing accomplices".
The ex-lawmaker who claimed to be speaking for the people of the North warned that nobody has the monopoly of violence adding that such arm-twisting tactics as was exhibited by the Presidential Adviser on Niger Delta Affairs, Kingsley Kuku in United States some days ago,will not work.

"Few weeks back, Kingsley Kuku, the presidential adviser on amnesty programme in faraway America also went and made similar statements, which means President Goodluck Jonathan has already won the PDP primary election and the secondary election - that's exactly what they are saying.

"Let me also use this opportunity to say on behalf of us in the north that nobody has monopoly of violence and that on behalf of the people of northern extraction, there shall be no one Nigeria if a northerner is not elected president of this country, because politics is a game of numbers and the Ijaw people are not up to one million or two million or even five million.

"So if in a democracy, the President will allow somebody to say if he is not voted, there won't be peace – this clearly shows that they don't want peace and the president is not a democrat," he said.

The courtroom which was filled to capacity by 9am by the indigenous people of Biafra, young and old who conducted themselves to a very quit and solemn civility which presented the only hope to the downtrodden and truly rejected Biafrans hoping and praying to God for a safe passage to their home land where they can only be saved in a genocide country that they have mistakenly found themselves.

Before entering the court, there was a night vigil at the head office of the indigenous people of Biafra, where the embattled Biafran clergies called on the God of Abiama to soften the heart of Pharaoh to let their people go.

I stepped out of the court room to psyche a Biafran lawyer who was in the court room on another assignment but on siting the dejected faces of Biafran elders and youths, left the court room in tears. I asked him why he is troubled, he told me that he truly weeps for the embattled people of Biafra and hopped that the courage of Bilie Human Rights Initiative can bring scour to his people, but his very obvious us doubt is that our approach will not provide solutions to the people of Biafra because it has been proved that the only language our present country Nigeria understands is violence.

He lamented that while the federal government gave the presidency of Nigeria to the Yorubas /Obasanjo when OPC made Nigeria ungovernable as a result of the June 12th agitation, the Niger Deltas got a full settlement plus a president when they started their militancy, but a nonviolent Massob is today seeing their leader Uwazurike arrested because the Biafrans have been cowered into submission and Nigeria know that Biafrans have lost the balls to fight any more due to the atrocities they were subjected to in the three years genocidal war of survival.

He therefore suggested that we must raise a militant wing at once to start disrtabilizing Nigeria because they are not going to take us seriously in the present legal process, I quickly arranged a meeting after the court proceedings to meet with our visionary lawyer, Emeka A.C.Adolf who lectured him on self-determination and behold, he decided to join the Biafran team of lawyers in the next appearance.

The amiable trial judge, Hon M.S.Shaubu appeared in the court by 10 am to begin the hearing. Engr Innocent Obinna Amadi, the president of Bilie Human Rights Initiative, as the complainant, introduced himself, followed by the lead council, Bar Emeka A.C.Adolf, representing the indigenous people of Biafra who rose to introduce himself and the Biafran team of lawyers, namely Bar O.O.Uwazie, and Ike Nwachuchunta. Bar Debe Odimegwu Ojukwu was unavoidably absent as a result of a family assignment in London.

Bar Shola Abeleja, representing the defendant, the federal government of Nigeria, introduced himself and started the proceeding by a counter motion argument on the early motion submitted by the council to the complainant introduced on the first day that that issues were joined by both parties being the 16th of Febuary 2013 based on the trustees and corporate trustees of Bilie Human Rights Initiative, siting cases from the western Nigeria, while the lead council to the complainant, the indigenous people of Biafra was swift to present his counter motion siting several text cases to substantiate his argument to the affirmative nodding of the trial judge and the other learned gentlemen in the courtroom.

The hearing witnessed a lot of pro-Biafran groups and other human rights organisations who came to support the Bilie Human Rights Initiative. Present also was the chairman of the elders council of the indigenous people of Biafra, Dr Dozie Ikedife and other royal fathers and Biafran dignitaries. Representatives of Bilie Human Rights Initiative from across the country were present The case was adjoined to the 25th of June for more hearing.

The mamonth crowd drove in a convoy to the office of indigenous people of Biafra located at 90 Wetheral road Owerri where the president of Bilie Human Rights Initiative, Engr Innocent Obinna Amadi, the vice chairman of the elders council of indigenous people of Biafra, Dr Dozie Ikedife, and the lead council, Bar Emeka A.C.Adolf addressed them, There was Christian songs and prayers to close the occasion with Engr Matthew Mbanaja rendering the BHRI anthem.

By SAM ANOKAM

In the last two weeks, Radio Biafra, London, started broadcasting in Nigeria as a mobile station, on FM frequency 89.2. It’s being received in Enugu, Onitsha, Port Harcourt, Nnewi and Owerri.

According to the director, Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, who visited Nigeria from his London, United Kingdom base, the broadcast in Nigeria, on FM frequency, other than the initial short wave frequency from London, is aimed at giving Igbo and other Nigerians the opportunity to receive the message from the station without much difficulties.

In the interview, Kanu revealed the role of Radio Biafra and why its broadcast was brought home. He talked about the struggle for Biafra, the activities of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra and other pro-Biafran groups, the funding for Radio Biafra and the crisis in the All Progressives Grand alliance (APGA).

Excerpts:

We discovered that Radio Biafra is now broadcasting in the East other than London. What informed this?

At this point in the country’s history, we believe that it’s appropriate to bring home Radio Biafra. The last time the radio broadcast in the East was about 43 years ago, during the war. We have been broadcasting from London, on short wave frequency. By coming home now, we want more people to tune to the station. Now we are on the FM frequency and covering a segment of the Eastern Nigeria. It is not enough to propagate round the country, but we are working on that. Sometime in September or October, we will bring in sufficient power, in terms of transmission, to allow us access to all areas within Nigeria.

What were the challenges you encountered in bring Radio Biafra home, so to say?

The people that gave us some problems are obviously agents of the Nigerian government. However, we were sufficiently protected because we are not doing anything illegal. It is free speech situation. We are basically speaking our minds. That is what is happening, which incidentally, a lot of people, in and around the country, bought into. It’s not a question of us saying something that is new. We are discussing something that every other part of the country would like to be a part of.

How long have you been running the radio station in Nigeria?

We started running Radio Biafra in Nigeria for the past two weeks, to be precise.

How has the reception been?

It’s been very good, but initially, the estimate we had was for a 25-mile radius range going by the power of the transmitter and antenna that we have, but what we are recording is 18 miles. What we then need to do is to take it back to our people and then make some improvements to it. We have a bigger transmitter coming in around September or October. We should provide coverage nationally with that. Wherever you are in Nigeria, you should get Radio Biafra on FM and AM from October this year.

For now, what is the duration of the broadcast?

It is normally two and three hours. The broadcast from Aba, because of the location and incessant rain, kept falling. It was curtailed to an hour and 49 minutes, but we are hoping, as time goes on, to bring Radio Biafra to people on a daily basis.

Could you tell us how you started Radio Biafra in London?

We started Radio Biafra in 2009 with the help of the then MASSOB members. They contributed to set up Radio Biafra. When we discovered that the leadership of MASSOB was doing something entirely different from what the people actually wanted, we went on air to tell the people what we discovered and the funding from MASSOB for Radio Biafra was stopped at that point in time. It was moribund for about two years. We then revived Radio Biafra ourselves a year ago. It came back online again on April 13 last year, following the killing of our people, Igbo, in the North. We decided to revive the radio station to bring hope, enlightenment and knowledge to our people.

How many of you are involved?

Eight people revived Radio Biafra ostensibly. Within the two years that Radio Biafra was off air, we were working Monday to Friday, 9-5 everyday, and saving money to start the station again. We neglected our families. We abandoned our commitments to our families, both in London and here in Nigeria. The eight of us include myself, Uche Mefor, Dr. Chukwuma Egemba, Barrister Adolf Emeka Esiri, Barr. Emman Mezu, Amarachi Okpara and Chukwunebuneze Ikpa. These were the people that got together and decided to form Radio Biafra again and we succeeded.

How have you been funding and sustaining it?

We work in London and earn a living. After our official duties, we face Radio Biafra. We know that the media job is a full-time one, but we can’t afford to run Radio Biafra full time because of funding. We are the ones funding and we have to work to get money. Nobody has helped us in funding. Anywhere we go for funding, they always remind us where the previous support they rendered other groups agitating for Biafra went. They always use MASSOB and what Uwazuruike is doing as example and as reasons they won’t fund us. For us, instead of relying on people, who are not even ready to fund the project, we are doing it alone. And God has been helping us. We have spent a lot to sustain the broadcast.

We are not deterred. We hope that in future, people will see the impact of what we are doing as well as our sincerity of purpose and help financially. One individual, Chukwudi Oforma, who is based in Australia, is funding the FM experiment. That tells you that people are now beginning to come out to put some financial muscle behind what we are doing.

How is the reception in London?

When Radio Biafra came back on air, there were jubilations, not only in Nigeria but also in all over the world. People recognise what Radio Biafra represents. At Radio Biafra, we cannot afford to lie. It is not a propaganda machine. We tell you things the way they are. If we are failing, we will tell the people we are failing and why we are failing. At Radio Biafra, we took an oath and we swore never to misrepresent the truth. Any day we lie or represent what is not factual, that day, we will shut down and we will not proceed. That is why we have been able to accomplish more than when we received sponsorship from members of MASSOB, who wanted to use it for their selfish end. Having severed relationship with them, events have shown that it was the best thing we have done. You can see what the group has become.

What is wrong with MASSOB?

The movement has been flawed because people have started to follow the path of money. They have forgotten what Biafra realisation is all about. Mind you, we are not actualising but realising Biafra, because Biafra already existed.

You cannot actualise what is already in existence. The movement derailed because of the cult hero worship. When you are in a freedom fighting movement, the leadership of that movement is not very important.

What is important is the ideology that underpins the entire movement. When you then embody and encapsulate the entire thinking of a movement in one person, that person becomes a target, either for compromise or for assassination. That is what happens and that is what happened in this case. As you can see, they have now abandoned the struggle for Biafra.

They are talking about chieftaincy titles. They are talking about working with PDP. They are talking about sowing uniform and becoming peace ambassadors and the rest of it. That was not the original concept of the struggle. Biafra is puritanical, in the sense that it doesn’t like contamination with any other thing and that is why we are suffering today. And because we took our eyes away from what was important, which was the freedom for our people, we started to look at material things, like cars, buildings, accolades and wealth. That was how we derailed.

What then is the ideology of Biafra?

The ideology of Biafra is the freedom, the emancipation of all the Biafran people, which means that all the people bound genetically, culturally and by the same value system. In other words, I am talking about those who understand the history of the Biafran people. I am talking about the Idoma people, the Igbo people, the Efik, Ibibio, Anang, Ijaw, Itsekiri, the Urhobo and the Anioma people. All these are Biafran families. If you go to a village or town, for instance, Oturpko, they have four market days – Eke, Orie, Afor and Nkwo. And when people say that these people are not Igbo people or that they are not related to Igbo people, it becomes a thing of wonder. How is it possible that people that have Eke, Orie, Afor and Nkwo as their market days are not related to Igbo people?

When you go to Akwa Ibom or Cross River State, what they call God is Obasi. That is what we call God, where we come from. The highest fraternity in Igboland, where I come from in Abia State is Okonko. Okonko was directly derived from the Ibibio and the Efik cultures. The same thing with Ekpe. When we want to dance Ekpe in my place, we go to Ibibio land to buy the kits for the Ekpe, which is a masquerade dance. So, we are all related. We are the same people genetically, in terms of our complexion, in terms of our attitude. I give all your readers a challenge. I want you to go to any market in Warri, for instance. Stand back and take a picture of that market, then, go to any Igbo town or village, take a picture of the market and tell me if you can tell the difference. There is no difference.

The dressing is the same. Everything we do is the same. The people we call Bonny today are people from Nkwerre. We are all the same people. But due to the difficulties, the hardship, the pain that we have been subjected to, they think it is now fashionable to jettison where you come from and try to be something that you are not, which is why we are suffering till today.

Does Radio Biafra have any link with the campaign for Biafra republic?

Yes, we do. Radio Biafra is the most listened to indigenous broadcast out of sub-Saharan Africa. We have every evening nothing less than two million people tuned in all around the world. We have on average of nothing less than 100,000 people visit Radio Biafra website; so the message we propagate is getting through or else people will not be coming.

Our message is resonating with the people and we are working with a lot of groups, ostensibly Bilie Human Rights Initiatives, Biafra Liberation Council. We are also working with other groups across the Niger Delta areas to make sure we bring about Biafra, of justice and equality, not Biafra of domination because a lot of people are afraid that if we have Biafra, there is going to be domination by the Igbo people and our question to them is very simple: before Nigeria, before the white man came, did the Igbo conquer anybody? The answer is no. We are larger than the Ibibio, Efik, Ijaw. Did we go to the Ijaw and say you must speak Igbo language or else we kill you? Or you must adopt our culture or else we kill you?

The ironic thing is that we ended up absorbing these other cultures to the Igbo way of life. That goes to show how versatile we are. We are not a domineering people. The fact that if you open up your shop to trade and you are blessed and become wealthy means that you are domineering? That is a slightly false perception of what dominance is. It is not dominance. It is people actually doing well. And you will know even in Igboland today, there is a traditional ruler that has converted to Islam – Eze Dumuna of Mbaitoli. He is now Musa Dimuna, a traditional titled ruler in Igboland! He has not been killed. He will not be killed. He’s not being chased out or bombed because we believe in tolerance.

What’s your take about groups agitating for Biafra?

We welcome every group agitating for Biafra as long as you are doing it in truth and honesty. If you look at the programme of some elements of movement within Biafra land, you would know that they have derailed from that cardinal principal. They are not pursuing Biafra in truth and honesty anymore. What they are doing does not represent freedom fighting anymore. That is why we say to people, there are groups you can join. You can join Bilie Human Rights Initiative, which took Nigeria to court, which a lot of people don’t know about.

A court in Nigeria recognised the word ‘Biafra’ for the very first time without throwing everybody in jail. The case is coming up on April 30 and we are asking everybody to be in court in Owerri to witness this landmark occasion. It’s been going on since last year. A lot of people don’t know this.

Again, we are saying join Bilie Human Rights Initiatives, listen to Radio Biafra broadcasting, both from London and Biafra land; you can also join Biafra Liberation Council. It is a legitimate group. You can join Lower Niger Congress. These are groups that are legitimate. Any other group you join is involved in criminality and in violence, detrimental to what we are pursuing. There are people with MASSOB, for instance, who are going about arresting people and handing over to Nigerian police. People agitating for Biafra are being arrested and being handed over to the Nigerian police and these are people claiming to be fighting for the struggle. You have to be consistent. There is no relationship between fighting for the freedom of your people and accumulation of wealth. That is what we are against.

Is it right to assume that your relationship with MASSSOB is sour?

Our relationship with genuine people within MASSOB pursuing Biafra in truth and honesty is sound. What we abhor is the leadership of MASSOB because the leadership of MASSOB is corrupt. Intrinsically corrupt. They were campaigning for PDP during the last elections; everybody knows that. They are running all over the place looking for chieftaincy titles. We asked them: have you seen anywhere in the history of modern freedom fighters where you jettison freedom fighting and start looking for chieftaincy titles? You abandon freedom fighting to start pricing the cost of cement and sand to go and build a house.

The right thing to do is to wait until you get what you are looking for. At that point, the people will honour you.

Nelson Mandela doesn’t live in a mansion. Mahatma Ghandi never lived in a mansion. Martin Luther King Junior never lived in a mansion. Che Guevara never lived in a mansion. What are you doing with landed property? What are you doing with wealth if you are a freedom fighter? We work ourselves to put our money in Biafra. We don’t expect anything from Biafra. We don’t have anything to with money. That is the cardinal rule in Radio Biafra. You can never be rich. You don’t need money for anything at all as long as you can feed and clothe and transport yourself; that is enough. The glory of your people being free is your gain. Nothing more, nothing less. If you are lucky the people might give you a three-bedroom bungalow to live when you retire, but we have role models in the like of Mandela, among others, who never amassed any personal wealth. These are genuine freedom fighters and this is what Radio Biafra is modelled on.

You may have been following the political imbroglio between Victor Umeh and Gov. Peter Obi. What is your take?

It is nemesis. It was Chekwas Okorie that single-handed formed APGA and handed it to the Igbo people through the leadership of His Excellency, the late Dim Chukwuemeke Odumegwu-Ojukwu. I have been at the centre of many things happening. As I would say to Chekwas and the rest of them, there is, so to speak, no prominent Igbo person I have not served in one capacity or the other. We were in a room at Millennium Hotel, in Kensington, London, which, incidentally, I paid for. The deposit of that I still have the receipt. I paid for the suit where Ojukwu stayed at the hotel. Ojukwu was there, so also were Chekwas Okorie, Victor Umeh, Ukwa Akwu, Tim Menakaya, Gov. Peter Obi. And I told Peter Obi to his face that the problem we have today in Igboland is the Anambra people and I said it jokingly. Of course, he said if that is the problem, that is also the solution. There and then, Ojukwu said, in front of everybody, that if he were to die today that he had a successor beside him. He said it was Chekwas Okorie.

Umeh was there. Andy Emenife was there. I was there. Ifeanyi Iregbu was there. Dr. Chukwuma Egemba was there. Chinedu Nwosu was there. They witnessed what I am telling you right now. Who has ever organised Ojukwu to appear before BBC’s Hard Talk? We did it. Nobody has done that for him before. We in London did it. The fact that we don’t shout and come to newspaper all the time doesn’t mean we don’t know what we are doing.

Chekwas Okorie should be given the honour that is due to him. Victor Umeh, as much as I like and respect him, the way he emerged as the APGA chairman wasn’t proper. When this whole thing started happening, we wrote to them to reconcile. We suggested that Chekwas be brought back and made chairman of the board of trustees of APGA, while Victor Umeh can remain as the chairman, but they said no. Look at where Victor Umeh is today? Everybody has lost and we are seeing the collapse of APGA. We now have UPP, floated by Chekwas Okorie. We are now starting afresh again. Every time we run a race as a people, we start all over again. And do you know why it so? It is because we hold our meetings outside. If we hold these meetings in Igboland and you do something bad, you will die. That was how our land was structured before they brought in these new age churches to ruin everything. In the olden days, if you agree and share kolanut, if you go against it, you will die. We have all wronged Chekwas Okorie, one way or the other. We need to seriously apologise to him. What happened to APGA shouldn’t have happened.

2015 is around the corner. Should Jonathan run?

Nigeria can do anything it likes, I am interested in Biafra alone; but one thing is for sure; some us live abroad. I live in London, but the truth is the truth everywhere. Jonathan should not run for the third time because one thing I find difficult in a country that claimed they have learned people is that most Nigerians are not educated enough to understand that a presidential system of government is a joint ticket concept. If I am running as your vice president, I am running on the same ticket as you because if something happens to you, I take over. You cannot be sworn in three times into an office; it is impossible. If you claim you are somebody’s vice presidential candidate, you have accepted that should anything happen to that person, you will assume power to finish serving for that person on your joint ticket because it is two of you that people voted for.

They said Jonathan and Sambo. It was Yar’Adua and Jonathan. Two people running together on a ticket. What the judges did, in pronouncing the idea that Jonathan could run again is called following the letter of the law, but not the spirit of the law because the spirit and the letter of the law must merge for a law to be sound, for a ruling or a judgment to be seen to be just. Jonathan cannot run again.

Onlytruth: I will also add that anytime there seems to be ANY form of rapport or unity between SE and SS (Igbo and non-Igbo alike), the SW goes into a strange PANIC mode.
SWers do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to stop it: you name it, they will do it, even to the extent of masquerading as a SS person.

And you would also ALWAYS see them milling around any thread that discusses such topic, and try their best to poison it and create disunity.
There must be something dangerous to the survival of SW by SE/SS unity in Nigeria. There has to be.
That is really pathetic.

I’m surprise you don’t know the reason, the reason been if they let the unity take place and the Igbos leave Nigeria the SW will be losing the revenue they are getting from the SS oil companies that base in Lagos and Igbos business most especial Lagos state. That is why anything unity between SS & SE they don’t want it, that is evil if i may say.

The.Big.Urban:




God of Abraham said "thou shalt have no other gods but me".....explain how this fits in with the polytheistic (many gods)

Furthermore, the igbos could not have a had a Hebrew inscription on their throne......they dont speak the language and never have.


Please, provide evidence for your claims ooo

You want me to provide evidence no I will not do that for you. As I said previously I don’t have any time to waste for argument is just a waste of energy. If what you have written makes you to happy then be happy, you already made up your mind. Most of the Igbos knows where their ancestors came from.
From your question I now understand you know nothing about Igbo-Hebrews or Jews race, my advice to you is to go and read about Igbo race.

Nigeria is running way from there our court what a shame…….
