CultureMonarch To Igbos: Stop Blaming Hausa/fulani, Yoruba For Your Woes. by Masterclass32(op): 6:25am On Apr 26, 2018
The Igbo ethnic group have been advised to stop blaming Hausa, Fulani or Yoruba for their problems in Nigeria.

Her Royal Majesty, Obi Igwe Martha Dunkwu, the traditional ruler of Obodogba village, Okpanam in Oshilili North Local Government of Delta State, gave the charge in Enugu during the 4th anniversary of an Igbo interest group, Alaigbo Development Foundation (ADF) on Wednesday.

The female traditional ruler who said that the Igbo men had failed outrightly to better the lots of the ethinc group, emphasized that they should not blame anybody, not even any of the ethnic groups for their failure to put their place in order but themselves.

Dunkwu, who hails from the same town (Okpanam) with the late Major Kaduna Nzogwu, also said that Ndigbo are marginalising and under developing themselves as she blamed the governors of the South East for not using the resources at their disposal to develop their lands since 1999 till date.

She said: "The Igbo men have failed colossally. Is it the Fulani, Yoruba or Hausamen that are governors, senators, House of reps members or local government chairmen in Igboland. What have they done with with the monies they get from Federal allocation."

Dunkwu, the Omu of Anioma, said that Ndigbo abandoned their place for supposed greener pastures in other places in Nigeria thereby neglecting to develop their own towns.

She cautioned that for Ndigbo to have their fair share in Nigeria, they must marry more wives, bear more children because it is population that determines political equation, adding that Ndigbo should send their youth to school for academics and skills acquisition.

The traditional ruler said: "Stop talking about Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba people. We should focus on our lands. Talk to our youths to go to school and to learn skills. Igbo's should not be subservient to other Nigerians. It is not Hausa that asked you to abandon your land to invest in other lands. We should think home."

While speaking on the theme of the anniversary: "The rebuilding and development of Alaigbo and the advancement of the spirit of her culture and civilization,” the President of ADF, Prof. Uzodinma Nwala, said that they hold their youth dearly and will always protect them.

Nwala condemned the. manner the agitating youths in Igboland were hounded and hushed for agitating for a better Ndigbo, pointing out that other areas have their youths but never condemned them.

"Any nation that does not value her youths is ruined or finished. We shall not let Ndigbo down. We shall always represent Ndigbo and Igbo interest,” he added.

PoliticsThousands Of Igbo To Protest In Washington DC As Buhari Meets Trump. by Masterclass32(op): 8:20am On Apr 25, 2018
Thousands of Igbo, an ethnic group in Southeastern Nigeria, have begun arriving Washington DC for a major protest against 75-year old Nigerian leader Muhammadu Buhari.

Members of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB) would
storm the White House on
Pennsylvania Avenue in
Washington DC on April 30 when
Mr. Buhari would be meeting with President Donald Trump.

In a statement to Today News Africa in Washington DC, the organizers of the protest said
Mr. Buhari, a retired Nigerian
Army General, is responsible for
the death of thousands of Igbo
activists who have been
demanding independence from the oil-rich but dilapidated West
African country.

The leader of IPOB, Nnamdi
Kanu, disappeared in strange
circumstances, fueling
speculations that he was
abducted by Nigerian security
forces following an attack on his residence.

Our team of reporters in
Washington DC would bring you
live developments inside and
outside the White House on
April 30.

The protesters would also
accuse Mr. Buhari government
of committing grave human
rights violations across the
country, and for not prosecuting
those who perpetrated them. The accusations would also
include the atrocities
perpetrated by Fulani herdsmen
throughout Nigeria.

Igbo activists have argued that
Nigeria has not treated the Igbo
fairly following the civil war of
1967-1970 that left at least two
million of their people dead as
they tried to break up.

The protests would be coming
days after the United States
government on Friday released
a damning human rights report
on Nigeria, saying grave violations continued to increase in 2017 while officials who perpetrated them were almost never prosecuted by the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

President Buhari is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on April 30, and both men would likely discuss further U.S. military assistance to Nigeria against the backdrop of serious human rights
violations by security forces
who use the same weapons to
kill civilians.

The U.S. annual report on global
human rights violations, released in Washington D.C. on Friday afternoon, said the administration of President Buhari “took steps to investigate alleged abuses, but
fewer steps to prosecute officials
who committed violations,
whether in the security forces or
elsewhere in the government”.

“Impunity remained widespread at all levels of government. The government did not adequately investigate or prosecute most of the major outstanding allegations of human rights violations by the
security forces or the majority
of cases of police or military
extortion or other abuse of
power,” the report said.

It said the most significant
human rights issues included
extrajudicial and arbitrary
killings; disappearances and
arbitrary detentions; torture,
particularly in detention facilities, including sexual
exploitation and abuse; use of
children by some security
elements, looting, and
destruction of property.

There were also civilian
detentions in military facilities,
often based on flimsy evidence;
denial of fair public trial;
executive influence on the
judiciary; infringement on citizens’ privacy rights;
restrictions on freedoms of
speech, press, assembly, and
movement

This was in addition to official
corruption; lack of accountability in cases involving violence against women and children, including female genital mutilation/cutting and sexual exploitation of children; trafficking in persons; early and forced marriages;
criminalization of status and
same-sex sexual conduct based
on sexual orientation and gender identity; and forced and bonded labor.

The report recognized that Boko
Haram terror group also
committed a myriad of human
rights violations, killing and
torturing and imprisoning
women and children and bombing entire villages. “

The groups conducted numerous attacks on government and civilian targets that resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries, widespread destruction, the internal displacement of approximately 1.8 million persons, and external displacement of an estimated
205,000 Nigerian refugees to
neighboring countries,
principally Cameroon, Chad, and Niger,” the report said.

Boko Haram’s numerous
attacks often targeted civilians.
The group, which recruited and
forcefully conscripted child
soldiers, carried out scores of
suicide bombings–many by young women and girls forced
into doing so–and other attacks
on population centers in the
Northeast and in Cameroon,
Chad, and Niger.

“Abductions by Boko Haram
continued. The group subjected
many abducted women and
girls to sexual and gender-based
violence, including forced marriages and rape. The government investigated
attacks by Boko Haram and ISIS-
WA and took some steps to
prosecute their members,
although the majority of
suspected insurgent group supporters were held in military
custody without charge,

“In its response to Boko Haram
and ISIS-WA attacks, and at
times in response to crime and
insecurity in general, security
service personnel perpetrated
extrajudicial killings and engaged in torture, sexual exploitation and abuse, arbitrary detention, mistreatment of detainees, use
of children by some security
elements, looting, and destruction of property. The country also suffered from ethnic, regional, and religious violence,” the report added.

PoliticsNorthern Youths Warn Obasanjo Over Attacks On Buhari. by Masterclass32(op): 6:56am On Apr 07, 2018
The Arewa Youth Consultative
Forum (AYCF) has lambasted
former President, Olusegun
Obasanjo for his attacks on
President Muhammadu Buhari.

Obasanjo recently advised
Nigerians not to re-elect Buhari in
2019.

But the group in a statement
signed by its National President,
Alhaji Yerima Shettima, on Friday,
slammed the ex president for the
comment.

“For quite some time, former
President Olusegun Obasanjo has
turned himself into a self-
appointed messiah in the efforts
to define the political and
democratic future of this country.

“And the result of this
meddlesomeness by the former
president has been disastrous for
the country,” the group said.

AYCF said that it is disgusting that
the former president is still bent
on interfering with Nigeria’s
leadership problems created by
people like him.

The group said that it has noticed
that the former president has
made it a duty to lampoon
President Buhari at every given
opportunity, in a desperate bid to
portray himself as Nigeria’s democratic superman.

“Much as we are equally
disappointed in the underperformance of President
Buhari, we are not blinded by the
fact that Obasanjo has no moral
high ground for his repeated attacks on Buhari.

“The current president may
have his serious shortcomings but
he is still morally a better leader
than Obasanjo.

“We challenge Obasanjo to tell
us any of the current political and
economic difficulties confronting
the nation that are not connected
to his meddlesomeness and
manipulations. Let him exonerate himself from the current mess
facing the country, if at all he can.

“It will no longer be acceptable
for any old cargo to decide the
fate of over 160 million Nigerians.
We have had enough of this
domineering old men in the
democratic space and we are now saying its over,” it noted.

AYCF urged Nigerians of good
conscience to ignore Obasanjo’s
rantings and face the reality of
this defining moment in the
history of the nation.

“We have warned, whoever has
ear, let him hear!” the
statement concluded.

PoliticsBiafra: 40 Members Missing After Police, Army Attacked Us In Anambra - IPOB. by Masterclass32(op): 6:41am On Apr 07, 2018
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared 40 of its members missing after an alleged clash with the police and Nigerian Army personnel in Anambra State on Thursday evening.

The group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, in statemen on Friday, said a combined team of police and Army personnel attacked its members who were returning from the burial of one of their members, Odika Esieme Chukwuma from Igbo Ukwu, Anambra State.


Powerful said the group was at Nnewi, at about 5.30pm Thursday evening when it was attacked by the security personnel who shot at them, leaving scores of its members with injuries.

It said it had taken stock and discovered 40 of its members missing as a result of the attack.

It called for the immediate release of such members, warning that the group would not tolerate the unprovoked molestation of its members by security operatives.

Part of the statement read, “IPOB and its leadership worldwide once again wish to draw the attention of the general public and the world at large to the dangerous attacks and arrest of IPOB members in Anambra State last night (Thursday), who went for burial of an IPOB member who was among those killed last year during the operation python dance ll in Umuahia, Abia State.


“It is so wicked and barbaric that Nigerian Government through her security operatives killed most of IPOB members during Operation Python Dance II in Umuahia last year and refused to allow IPOB to bury the bodies of those they killed.

“This barbaric attack by a combined team of Fulani dominated Nigerian Army and Nigerian Police happened at Nnewi when IPOB family members who went for a burial for one of our IPOB family members by name Odika Esieme Chukwuma, from Igbo Ukwu in Anambra State.

“He belonged to IPOB Obosi Zone. After the burial, as our people were returning from the village of the deceased around 5:30pm and on reaching St Mary’s Catholic Church, where they were supposed to disperse to their various homes, they were accosted by a team of Nigeria security agents and without any provocation they began shooting at our people.

“In the ensuing chaos some people fell down and the buses they were traveling in climbed over some of them. Many were injured resulting from gunshots from the army and police. Many more were taken away by the army and police to unknown destinations. Some people had their cars seized, others with motorcycles had it taken away from them too.”


IPOB indicted Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State and the Dr Nnia Nwodo led Ohaneze Ndigbo of being responsible for the action if the security personnel.

It particularly indicted Obiano for issuing the orders being carried out by the security agencies against its members.

“Once again the Nigerian Government, through Gov. Willie Obiano has instructed their combined security forces of Army, Police, SARS and DSS to commence their shoot to kill policy on unarmed peaceful IPOB and to arrest anybody suspected to be an IPOB member anywhere in Biafraland.

“These are the same Nigerian security agencies that are collaborating with killer Fulani herdsmen, granting amnesty to Boko Haram terrorists but in Biafraland they are busy killing and massacring innocent men, women and children at random in every community in Southern and Middle Belt Region of Nigeria.”

CultureIgbos Are Jews, Not Nigerians - Bishop Orizu. by Masterclass32(op): 6:43am On Apr 06, 2018
President of the Redeemed Israel
Community of Nazarene Association (RICONA) of Nigeria,
Bishop Ignatius Orizu, has insisted
that the Igbos are Jews.

According to him, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
sampling conducted by the Jewish
Voice Ministries International last
year in search of the lost tribes of
Israel, which allegedly proved that Igbo were not Israelites,
must be repeated.

Orizu made the call when the
association hosted the founder of
ShuvuTV, Rabbi Itzhak Shapira, in
Nnewi, Anambra State, during his
first visit to Nigeria.

The cleric argued that after a
careful study of the whole
exercise, the association came to
the conclusion that the sampled
population was statistically small
and did not represent the true population of the Igbo.

“The idea, I guess, was to
randomly sample the Igbo
population, for the discovery of
Jewish root. The Igbo population
is not less than 50 million, but,
unfortunately, a population of 120 people, which is not even up
to one percent of the target Igbo
population was sampled.

“I, humbly, suggest that an
improved sampling process be
adopted. The whole Igbo states
should be randomly sampled to
involve about five million Igbo,
which is about 10 percent of the Igbo population. With this, the
whole population will be affected
and any result obtained from the
process would be accepted by the
Igbo populace,” Bishop Orizu
insisted.

PoliticsAccusing The Igbos Of Spreading Drug Abuse In The North Is Hate Speech - HURIWA. by Masterclass32(op): 6:15am On Apr 05, 2018
HURIWA battles Bayero University lecturer,

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has dragged a Mass communications lecturer of the Bayero University Kano, Malam Bala Mohammed to President Muhammadu Buhari, the Education minister Malam Adamu Adamu, the National University Commission, NUC, and the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, demanding his suspension and prosecution for spreading hate message against Igbo ethnicity.

This was as it equally resolved to further drag the said lecturer to all law enforcement agencies should the relevant educational authorities fail to do the needful to relieve him of his work in the university and charge him to Court for attempting to instigate ethnic genocide against Igbo people in the North whom he blamed for causing drug abuses by Northern youths.


The lecturer, had while delivering a paper entitled: ‘Nexus between youth, drugs, crime and insecurity’, wondered why drug abuse was not prevalent in the South-East, claiming that, “our investigation revealed that drug abuse is beyond normal marijuana, cocaine, alcohol, etc, it has moved to the extent that the medicines we take in order to cure our diseases are now being converted into hard drugs.”

In its reaction, the national coordinator of HURIWA, Emmanuel Onwubiko, signed a petition which was forwarded to President Muhammadu Buhari, Minister of Education, Executive Secretary of National University Commission and the Acting Executive Secretary of the National Human Rights Commission.

The petition reads, “May we write you this urgent letter to call your attention to a statement in the press attributed to one Malam Bala Mohammed who was identified as a lecturer in the mass communications department of the Bayero University –which is a federal university under the charge of the federal ministry of education with His Excellency Mr. President as the visitor.

“Sir, in a publication carried by a popular national newspaper – Vanguard, the said Malam Bala Mohammed was quoted without any shreds of empirical proofs to have heaped the blame on the entire Igbo race for the spread of drug addiction in the North.”


“This self-acclaimed lecturer in a very strategic federal educational institution in a region bedeviled by inter-ethnic and inter religious crises was sensationally quoted as spreading this hate filled stereotype against Igbo nation as if to say crime has an ethnic colouration.”

“As journalists, we can emphatically state that this fallacious affirmation by this Malam Bala Mohammed was made in bad faith with the aim of instigating hate crime targeting all members of the Igbo ethnic group resident in Northern Nigeria”.

“A simple check of this hate filled ethnic crime’s instigating publication titled ‘Don says Igbo behind drug abuse in the North’ reveals the need to ensure that this must be investigated and the so-called lecturer viewed as agent provocateur who may have been briefed to create inter-ethnic disquiet and by so doing cause the monumental destruction of the lives and property of millions of law abiding and peace loving Igbo resident in Northern Nigeria.

“It is trite that in almost all inter-ethnic crises and inter-religious violence in Northern Nigeria; the Igbo have always suffered heavy casualties even in crises that they know nothing about. Usually, it is such meaningless provocations from the academia in the North that in flames passion and result in targeted attacks against Igbo people.

“May we pray the Federal Ministry of Education to suspend this agent of destabilization to stop him from further spreading his message which is capable of leading to ethnic hate crime against Igbo in the North.

“Recall that after the 2011 general election, a lot of Igbo people were slaughtered by political hoodlums on the ground that they voted for PDP.

“That this said Malam Bala Mohammed read out his hate speech to Northern Youth shows his criminal intention to spark off ethnic genocide only few months after the ill-fated quit notice issued to Igbo by Northern youth was suspended.

“After critically reviewing some of the fallacies spewed out as a public lecture, we wonder why such a hate messenger is designated as a mass communication’s lecturer in a federal institution which in the first instance ought to promote inter-ethnic harmony and engender national cohesion.

“Recall sir that in this same Kano state, a 73 year old Mrs. Bridget Agbamihe from Imo state was killed by a mob of Islamic fundamentalists who accused her of blasphemy. Till date those who killed this woman are roaming the streets of Kano without justice meted out to them and the husband is constantly threatened for demanding justice.

“Malam Bala Mohammed if left as a lecturer in this institution (Bayero University Kano) is capable of polluting the moral compass of the youth and poison their young minds to see every Igbo person as guilty of selling drugs when scientifically, the sale of hard drugs are done by diverse persons of all ethnicities.

“There is no science-based evidence to justify this hate message of Bala Mohammed.”

“This man spreading this hate filled messages against Igbo is bereft of any idea on how drug addictions are affecting different communities all across Nigeria. He is dead wrong to conclude that there is no drug menace in the East because social crime of cultism and other violence are engendered by drug abuses and these crimes are found in every segments of the society. Why is this Malam Bala Mohammed spreading hate messages to instigate Ethnic unrest targeting Igbo in Northern Nigeria? The relevant law enforcement agencies should arrest and prosecute him”.

CrimeIgbos Blamed For Prevalence Of Drug Abuse In The North. by Masterclass32(op): 9:09am On Apr 03, 2018
A lecturer at the Faculty of
Communication, Bayero University
Kano, Bala Mohammed, has
pointed accusing finger on the
Igbo drugs merchants for
allegedly supplying codeine syrups into northern Nigeria.

The lecturer made the accusation
while presenting a paper at the
Kano Youth Summit on Peace
Advocacy and Development,
organised by Hamisu Magaji
Foundation, at Mambayya House, on Monday.

In the paper titled: “Nexus
between youth, drugs, crime and
insecurity”, Mr Mohammed
blamed the Igbos, with connivance
of local people, for the prevalence
of drug abuse in the northern region, especially Kano state.

Mr Mohammed wondered why
drug abuse was not prevalent in
the Southeastern region, but the
Igbo people resorted to supplying
cough syrup that contains codeine
for the consumption of the Northern youth.

“Our investigation revealed that
drug abuse is beyond normal
marijuana, cocaine, alcohol, etc. It
has moved to the extent that the
medicines we take in order to cure our diseases are now being converted into hard drugs.

“We then discovered that it is the handiwork of the Igbo people,
who connive with our local people
here, to supply the codeine into
our region, especially into Kano
state.

“There are many instances where Igbo guys were arrested over supplying codeine into Kano and some parts of the North. The cases have been reported on national dailies.

“So, why shouldn’t they take it
to their region? Why don’t their
youth engage in drug abuse? This
is really sad, and we have to rise
up to fight this menace,” he
lamented.

Mr Mohammed also blamed court
judges for compromise to secure
the release of the suspects without trial, noting that, that was the reason the problem was
deteriorating.

He, therefore, called on the
general public to fight the menace
themselves within their respective
communities, advising the public
not to disown the youth engaged
in drug abuse.

Speaking earlier, the chairman of
the foundation, Hamisu Magaji,
said the essence of the summit was to enlighten the youth ahead of the 2019 elections.
