A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it - Oscar Wilde

Across section of European Parliamentarians have called on the European Union (EU) to intervene in the plight of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), azi Nnamdi Kanu and his co-detainees, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi,” saying that their ordeal was part of gross human rights abuses going on in Nigeria.

In a joint letter dated December 19, 2016 and addressed to the High Representative of the union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Ms. Federica Mogherini, the signatories comprising 16 Members of European Parliament (MEP).

The European lawmakers also complained bitterly about “the continued violence towards IPOB supporters as perpetrated by the Nigerian government,” citing the killings of protesting Biafran activists by security agencies.

They noted that “since October 14, 2015, Kanu has been illegally imprisoned by the Federal Republic of Nigeria, despite being acquitted of all charges brought against him,” adding that in spite of acquittal by the competent courts in Nigeria, the federal government has continued to detain the IPOB leader and his colleagues.

“It is clear that the fundamental human rights of Kanu, Madubugwu and Nwawuisi are being grossly violated. Human Rights Watch have reported of the violation of the defendants’ rights, including their right to a fair trial,” the MEPs said.
Specifically the MEPs want the HR to act on behalf of the EU and leverage on the relationship between the EU and Nigeria to compel the Nigerian government to release Kanu, Madubugwu and Nwawuisi without further delay.

“On behalf of the EU, especially in respect to the EU-Nigeria partnership, the Nigeria EU Joint Way Forward, the developments of the sixth Nigeria-EU ministerial dialogue and the fact that Nigeria is a recipient of EU aid, we call upon you to: advocate the immediate and safe release of Kanu and his co-defendants, Benjamin Madubugwu and Nwawuisi.”

The MEPs also demanded that the EU should “challenge the actions of the President Muhammadu Buhari, and the Nigerian Department of State Services in regards to the detention of Kanu, Madubugwu and Nwawuisi.

My state Government promised the Civil servants gift of Rice this Christmas , they announced that they will give them 50 Kg of Rice for Yuletide, then another magic started.
They went to Abakiliki and bought Rice, then printed a Rice bag which is 25 KG in size, they wrote ANAMBRA Rice on it, even though there is no place in the state where we have Rice Farm, unless we talk of Coscharis Rice, the one at Amichi (STINE Rice) is a bagging centre.
Not only did the Governor promise them 50KG of Rice but instead of giving them Rice as imported from Abakiliki, so they will enjoy the sweat of Igboland, we rebagged it and call it Anambra Rice, and instead of the 50kg ,we printed 25 kg, now instead of packing 25kg in the bag, they packed into some 8 kg, some 9kg and some 10kg ,the highest weights 15kg .

Western Sahara wahala started immediately after SPANISH COLONIAL FORCES LEFT THE TERRITORY

U prolly don't know Spain colonised Morocco n western sahara

Western Sahara declared independence immediately but were only given a small portion to control ...they have been fighting for the rest since.

In 1914 wasn't naija still under british rule?

Wasn't naija under british rule till 1960?

What led to the war? Was it civil agitation or disagreement by military authorities?

Oga lemme not expose ur idiocy.

Before 1914 southern nigeria was present day SW, SS n SE regions thus is ipob fighting for the sw?

Or It's 1906 map u mean(b4 amalgamation with the lagos colony & protectorate)?
Then again that's not a biafran map cos benin, Warri, itsekiri, ijaw, opobo etc kingdoms were there and they were not in the 1884 map(niger coast protectorate with old calabar as capital) which is the original igbo map since it can be used with the 1893 expansion to core igbo kingdoms

Stop exposing your idiocy.

Ipob isn't fighting about 1914 only an intellectual cripple doesn't know they're fighting for the 1967 map created by the military govt of ojukwu, infact adding asaba, kogi, edo areas(parts that weren't on the original biafran map of 1967) means they're fighting for 2015 map.

Prior to 1967 biafra was a bight leading to the port city in Coastal Cameroon.

Like I said ITS A CASE OF WE NO WAN DO AGAIN. a divorce is different from a cancelled wedding.

I never said it wasn't legitimate. Won't reply u again cos u obviously ain't bright

LorDBolton:
People who don't understand the difference between biafran war, southern cameroon agitation and SDR will come to spew thrash.

Those PEOPLE HAVE NEVER BEEN UNDER MOROCCO, they were forced to join Morocco via annexation after a war btw Morocco n muritania whilst their 'juicy' areas were taken by Morocco n little territory given to them.

Biafra agitation, southern cameroon agitation, nd agitation is a case of "we no wan do again" lols

The only way out is a referendum and whilst the smart igbos are launching propaganda the dumb niger deltans are blowing pipelines.

More wahala

You are not wanted. You are the madness we seek to do away with. Stop seeking for cheap attention and deal with it.

Chai!! You are using Murtala Nyako as an example?? Nyako wey get 4 wives? Those women are: Hajia Zainab, Dr. Halima, Justice Binta and Hajia Asmau.

Even Atiku has 4 wives too, and the last one which is the Igbo girl Jennifer Iwenjiora had issues with the American authorities, and Atiku threatened to divorce her. She even changed her name to Jamilah. So na these people you dey take do example? Hehehehe....

People say that Patience Jonathan (GEJ's wife) is from Okrika in Rivers State & she is not Igbo. Please check your facts, o!

Godswill Akpabio's wife is called Ekaette. Is Ekaette an Igbo name?

AxeurdaddyIX:
His opinion sha. Peter Okoye married a Yoruba lady. Today he's arguably one of the most successful artistes in Africa.

It's not about the tribe, Its about the person you marry.

Enahi:
Shame on yoy out of millions of Igbo women it was only Akpabio you could mention. I didn't even add Mike Adenuga to the list,he is not married to an igbo woman too. Accept it there is nothing fantastic about your ladies,they are just like every other Nigerian lady.

And dumbo I am not igbo!

MrEverest:
Awka is an emerging city no doubt but it cant be in the first ten, if otherwise, then mention any city on the list Awka should displace
