Former militants of the Niger Delta have threatened war if the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and director of radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu is not released by the Federal Government.

Ireporter have it that the former militants under the guise of Niger Delta Peoples Democratic Front (NDPDF) issued the threat at the weekend in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital.

The leader of the group, Precious Iyoyo (aka General Playboy) advised President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately release Kanu, in order to reduce the growing tension in the country.

According to him, the continued detention of Kanu after a competent court had granted him bail was provocative and dictatorial. He also demanded the immediate pullout of the military personnel drafted to Niger Bridge in Onitsha, Anambra state, to allow free flow of traffic for the “innocent citizens of South- South and South East.”

Iyoyo further hinted that the former warlords would not fold their hands and watch their brothers and sisters from the South-South and South East geo-political zones “chased, tortured or enslaved with impunity in our land.”

“The Nigerian government is dangerously pushing us to the wall. The unprovoked mass shooting and killing of our brothers and sisters will no longer be tolerated,” he said.

The NDPDF leader promised that his group would support and sustain the Biafra agitation, and called those from the two regions who are sabotaging the struggle to have reconsideration.

The director of radio Biafra and leader of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu who is undergoing treasonable felony and terrorism charges in a Federal High court sitting in Abuja, was granted bail but had since remained in custody.

Meanwhile, the Former Niger Delta militants beating drum of war against the Federal Government now had earlier called on President Muhammadu Buhari to prevail on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to leave their former leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, alone.

TRADITIONAL marriage is a popular event in Igbo land. Young ladies and men who are getting married use it to bring their friends and well wishers to their homes, to showcase the families where they are coming from unlike before especially in the early 1980s, when it was not as popular as it is today, because at that time, young ladies would bring their suitors to their parents and kinsmen who drew up a list of things to be done, including the dowry to be paid, other expenses to be incurred as well as going to the church to solemnise the marriage.

However, traditional wedding cannot be done today in Igbo land without traditional marriage being performed between the parents and relations of the bride and suitor.

“What is actually celebrated as traditional wedding today in Igbo land, is actually the traditional marriage right that has been performed earlier before the eating, drinking and dancing that precedes it, by friends and well wishers of the couple, who are normally not part of the traditional marriage rights that has earlier been done and is most times not celebrated .

South East Voice witnessed the traditional wedding of Chidinma Ezenwaobi, daughter of an Nkpor and Onitsha, popular market leader, Chief Sunday Ezenwobi, known as “Seeman,” who is the Chairman of New Tire Market Nkpor, which attracted who is who in Onitsha Nkpor and Anambra State business and trading community, including politicians and traditional rulers, some of whom ha the following to say about tradtional marriage.

According to Chief Victor Umeh, the immediate past National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, who also hails from Agulzigbo in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State, where the event held, “Traditional Marriage in Igbo land is giving out a girl that has matured to marry, to the suitor when the suitor comes to the parents, and the father and mother of the bride will hand the girl over to the suitor who is always accompanied by his parents and well wishers after doing the traditional things that are involved”.

Chief Umeh further said “traditional marriage cannot be neglected in Igbo land, what people call traditional wedding today in Igbo land is actually the celebration by friends and well wishers of the girl and her husband after traditional marriage rights that has been earlier done or part of it done before the celebration through eating, drinking and dancing that follows it.

“If you do not do traditional marriage in Igbo land, in the eyes of the kinsmen, men and women, the girl is not yet married, you must do it to put a seal to the marriage,. Where you don’t perform this traditional rights of payment of bride price and the rest of other things, the girl in the eyes of the kinsmen men cannot be given out for marriage.”

“The implication is that if she bears a child, that child belongs to her father’s home, if you did not pay that bride price, any child she bears does not belong to the husband, but when he pays, the child can now belong to the man.”

He debunked claims that the Igbo charge much on their daughters, before they give them out for marriage. “That has gone out of fashion, it is no more obtainable, people don’t collect exorbitant dowry these days, in order to give out their daughters for marriage, this is because in Igbo land, we do not sell our daughters, so we collect just a token to show that they are coming out from a home, and with time those things are beginning to change, people now take N100, N1, N5, as a symbol that the girl has been betrothed to the husband, you must pay something before the girl is handed over to the husband,”.

The traditional ruler of Akwaeze, Igwe Christopher Ndubisi Okpala, has a similar view, about traditional marriage, with Chief Umeh, but brought some element of spirituality to his view,apparently because of his position. He said “traditional marriage is a very important event in Igbo land and if you have not done it, it means you have not started marriage, it is that time the human beings and the spirits in the community where it is happening welcomes the two people involved in the marriage to be one”.

“White Wedding was brought by white men, but traditional marriage is where the agreement of being husband and wife is sealed, in some white weddings, if the traditional marriage activities have not been conducted, some priests do not accept to conduct white wedding.

“Some Priests will tell you, go and conduct the traditional marriage first, another thing is any man that grow to marry and have children, and it happens that the son or daughter is performing this ceremony, it gives joy, it is a thing of joy in the life of the man and woman who are giving out their daughter, and when this happens, and in few months or years, he gets a grandchild, he starts answering grandfather while the mother becomes grandmother.”

For Mrs. Prisca Umeh, “the success of every marriage is honour and respect for the husbands, women should love their husbands and imbibe the spirit of endurance, once you love and respect your husband, you will be comfortable in your matrimonial home. “If you love your husband ,you have solved half of the matrimonial problems, even if there is any problem or any wrong doing from the man, he will explain to you.

These days marriage don’t last because of lack of respect, another thing is that you should always pray, prayer is very important, pray for your husband, whether he is good or bad, pray for him, if you curse your husband ,God will curse him, if you bless your husband, God will bless him, so it is good you respect and honour your husband, and pray for him God will hear your prayers,” she said..

Father of the bride, Chief Ezenwaobi said that he feels satisfied that his daughter is getting married to a man she met at the church, even though when she approached him for the first time to tell him about her intention to marry, he did not want to entertain the discussion.

Her mother, Mrs. Ngozi Ezenwobi was full of joy as she said she lacks words to thank God for what He has done for her and her husband, seeing their daughter getting married when they are still young, and people thought they look good having more children.

Whatsapp is one of the most popular chatting platforms in the world with over 900 million active users in the last count but its growth has initiated backlash with telcos. It offers texting and calling functionality with the charge being your data balance, which is relatively cheaper than what telcos charge with their voice and texting bundles.

This is the same problem telcos are having on Brazil and according to a report , the 1st Criminal court of São Bernardo do Campo in Sao Paulo, a major city in Brazil, ordered WhatsApp to be shut down for the next two days. This has made people to cross over and use Telegram Messenger, a chatting service that looks and functions just like Whatsapp to have a surge of new users thanks to the court order.

Apparently, telecommunications companies noticed the disruptive nature of WhatsApp on voice revenue which has caused Brazilians not to use their mobile phones for this purpose. Whatsapp has 93 million users in Brazil and its use dwarfs the use of its mother company, Facebook.

The temporary ban of WhatsApp in Brazil is only the first step. Apparently the Congress in the country is even contemplating to cut off the country from accessing social media platforms. “Many politicians in Brazil that the internet is only used to say bad things about them. They hate the internet. It’s a threat” Ronaldo Lemos from Marco Civil was quoted.

WhatsApp’s founder, Jan Koum was disappointed by this development in Brazil and aired his sentiments on his Facebook page:


We have seen cases of WhatsApp being used in interesting cases in Brazil. There is one where a young Mayor used to govern the activities in her town on WhatsApp. Once again Telegram Messenger is the winner in this and we will have to see if other chatting platforms like it will be banned in the future.
