Brainwashed people. They think since they failed in Nigeria, Biafra will become an easy way to life as preached by the fool Kanu. Most successful Igbos are not an inch interested in what these miscreants are doing.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly begun the investigation of the new Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and his company, Metropole Interproject Limited, over an alleged N400 million forgery.

A frontline human rights activist, , Comrade Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman, Executive Chairman, Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice (CHRSJ), whose petition led to the investigation, disclosed that he has been invited by the anti-graft agency to come and shed more light on the petition.

The petition dated Monday, 2nd November, 2015 entitled “Request for Prosecution of Prince Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi and his Company named Metropole Interproject Limited for the Offence of forgery, Fraudulent Conversion and Obtaining the sum of N400 million by false Pretence” was forwarded to the EFCC Chairman and received on Friday, November 6, 2015. Copies were also sent to President Muhammadu Buhari, Transparency International (TI), Embassy of the United Kingdom (UK), as well as those of the United States of America (USA) and Republic of Canada.

The petition was supported with the series of evidence, including a petition letter dated 7th September, 2015 which authored by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr. Rotimi Jacobs of Rotimi Jacobs & Co Chambers.

Comrade Sulaiman said in a signed statement issued yesterday in Lagos that he received a phone call from an EFCC official advising his group to report at the commission’s Economic and Governance Crime (EGC 1) department in Lagos this week.

According to him, “The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited us and we are going to appear before it this week to substantiate our position on the subject matter. Our belief is that to every logical mind, the gold is gold, regardless of whether a Prince

or beggar, is holding it in his hand. There is need for inculcation of moral value to our society through the palace in every community in the land and anybody that would occupy the position of authority should come with integrity in order to serve as a good example to younger generation.

“It is also our belief that if you are preaching equity, you must come with clean hand. Worshiping of money and world materials increases the social vices in the country today which makes the corruption to be on the increase geometrically. We don’t have any personal grudge

against Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi because we believe that God makes a leader but we want justice to be done on any issue of this nature as it has been part of our stand. Anybody alleges of any wrong doing needs to clear his or her name first before occupying any exalted position. It is because Nigeria as a country has been eroded of moral values where brigandage takes the order of the day.”

Comrade Sulaiman urged EFCC to also “invite Mr. Rotimi Jacobs, who authored the first petition on the matter, and as well as Professor Gabriel Olawoyin, the head of Olawoyin & Olawoyin Chambers, to come and state their position on the mind-boggling issue.”

StOla:
Yes!

I will still vote for the party that is willing to fight corruption over the one embezzling all the funds allocated for development.

Most importantly, I will not vote for the candidate who claimed his ambition is not worth the blood of Nigerians, but empowered militias like OPC with funds, who then brandished all manner of weapons while the police looked on in approval. Same weapons would have been used for inter-tribal violence long after the elections, with people wondering where such militias get their funding.

I could never have voted for the candidate who thinks fighting corruption is a crime. Or one who declares a group innocent of terrorism, only to accuse the very group of that particular terrorist act 4years later, even claiming he was the major target of that terror and he had foreknowledge of it, so he was quickly driven out of the venue.

Now that I know one of the candidates had his own private Santa Claus to share state funds to those willing to come under his umbrella, I feel very justified that he was sacked and will eventually be prosecuted.

What manner of man will I be if I had voted for such an enemy of the people and of the state?

News just filtering in confirms that pro-Biafra protesters on Thursday protested in front of the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium, demanding the immediate and unconditional release of detained Director of Radio Biafra and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

The European Parliament, which is the legislative arm of the European Union, works from three centres: Brussels (Belgium), Luxembourg (Luxembourg) and Strasbourg (France).

The protesters, numbering in their dozens, could be seen wielding Biafran flags and chanting solidarity songs.

Kanu, who holds Nigerian/British citizenship, was arrested in October 2015 on charges bordering on membership of an illegal organisation, which has since been upgraded to treason.

Thousands of protesters from the South East and South South geo-political zones have at different times engaged in protests and other forms of civil disobedience aimed at forcing the Federal Government of Nigeria to release Kanu.

The European Union (EU) on Tuesday it will only recognise a Biafra born via international law and not armed secession. The EU also called for the release of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kalu and other members of the organisation in detention. EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Mrs. Federica Mogherini, stated this in Brussels, Belgium, in response to calls by the Organisation of Emerging African States (OEAS) to support the agitation for Biafra.

The OEAS delegation to the meeting was led by its Chief Administrative Officer, Dr. Jonathan Levy. She said that while the EU has strong diplomatic and economic ties with Nigeria, “protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms remains a priority for the EU and encouraged the Nigerian authorities in every occasion to respect such rights.” Earlier, Levy had called for the release of all members of IPOB in detention, a stand down of Nigerian forces, and a snap referendum to be held within 90 days.

To achieve a referendum, the OEAS advised that all non-violent means should be utilised including general strikes, economic boycotts, work actions, demonstrations, lawsuits, and civil disobedience. He said that Nigeria as a member of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) recognises the right to engage in general strikes and the right to strike is also recognised in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966 (Article 8(1)(d)). “OEAS supports the Shadow Government of Biafra and calls for the immediate release of all Biafran patriots detained by the Nigerian federal government.”

Meanwhile, ahead of the February 22 election into wards, provinces, districts, regions and zones in the South East and South South, leader of Biafra Independent Movement (BIM), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, on Tuesday, said the election will serve as a guide for the Federal Republic of Nigeria to follow. Uwazuruike stated this at the zonal rally at the proposed site of Ojukwu Memorial Library in Enugu ezike, Enugu State. The BIM leader, who was represented by a super region leader, Dr. (Mrs.) Augustina Ugwuoke, said: “Our election will not be conducted same way as that of Nigeria, BIM will not give room for election rigging as is the case in Nigeria.

“We are well prepared; we will teach Nigerians how to conduct crisis free election. Very soon the B-INEC will roll out programmes for the polls”, she said. Ugwuoke commended members for coming out enmasse to participate in the sensitisation forum and their continuous support for their leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, stressing that their dream Biafra Republic will soon be actualised. “We believe in our leader’s ability to actualise the Biafra Republic, the processes as you can see have commenced.

We have also commenced preparations for our census which will take place in the entire Biafra region to ascertain our population. “I commend you all for your steadfastness in the struggle as well as donation of lands towards the building of Ojukwu Memorial Library in the Enugu North Senatorial Zone.

“These misguided youths create the
impression that Nigeria is not one, and
insecure,”

The Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has urged
leaders in the South East geo-political zone
to call Biafra agitators to order.
The SGF condemned the activities of the
groups, saying they threaten the peace of
the country.
Mr. Lawal spoke in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi
State capital, during a one-day working
visit to the state.
Describing the groups as misguided youth
who had been causing crisis in the
country, the SGF said they should not be
allowed to continue.
He said their actions create the impression
that Nigeria is not one.
The SGF advised leaders in the South East
to create employment opportunities for
the youth to keep them busy to stop them
from engaging in acts that threaten the
peace of the nation.
“Some misguided youths in the South East
zone are causing crisis in the country and
I charge all Igbo leaders to rise to the
occasion and call these misguided youths
to order.
“These misguided youths create the
impression that Nigeria is not one, and
insecure,” he said.
Responding, the state governor, David
Umahi, said he would ensure improved
welfare of the people and rapid
development of the state.

Does this make sense to u?

OgbeifunErom:
IPOB Youths and their amateur propaganda

Everything about them is fake and amateurish

They think they can intimidate the government and the nation with false claims and lies

E no go work! Nigerians are wise and smart.

Nnamumudi Okwukanu will face trial for treason and he will be executed when he is eventually found guilty

My preference will be that he is executed by firing squad

Up Nigeria

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has alleged that Nnamdi Kanu, its leader, is being tortured in detention by the Department of State Services (DSS), with the eventual target to “secretly execute” him.

The group, which is campaigning for an independent state for the Igbo, also alleged that Kanu was “very ill” and needed urgent medical attention.

“Information getting to us now is that the director of DSS and Buhari are planning to kill some Igbo-Biafrans working for the DSS in other to secretly execute Nnamdi Kanu,” it alleged in a statement published on its website “Biafra Herald,” on Thursday.

“For months now reports have been coming to us on how Nnamdi Kanu is been tortured in the dungeon of the DSS. Nnamdi Kanu is reported to be very ill and needs urgent care and treatment but the DSS on the order of Buhari have refused to grant him any treatment.

“Some Igbo-Biafrans who are members of the DSS have expressed their displeasure towards the treatment of Nnamdi Kanu, this resulting to Buhari and the director of DSS secretly plotting way to murder them. This information got to us is from a very reliable source and our advice to Buhari is to release Nnamdi Kanu, and also to stop torturing him because any harm done to him, will result to a war Nigeria can’t handle.

“We are calling on all IPOB members to get ready for action as instructions will be given by our deputy. We are calling all coordinators to start mobilizing all IPOB members and be on alert.”

TheCable spoke with Vincent Obetta, Kanu’s lawyer, who could not say the exact medical state of his client.

“I don’t know his state of health. They have refused to give me access to see him. I have made every effort to see him since 23 of December, but I have not been given access. So, I don’t know is condition now,” he said.

“If he is being tortured, I don’t know, but I got the rumour that he is being tortured. I am still pressing to get access to him.”

In December 2015, Adeniyi Ademola, justice of the federal high court, Abuja, had ordered the release of Kanu unconditionally, but the DSS failed to comply with the order.

Instead, it filed a suit against him before Ahmed Mohammed, another judge, at the federal high court, Abuja, who withdrew from the case after Kanu refused to take his plea.

Kanu is accused of treason, ownership of unlawful society and illegal possession of firearms.

The DSS could not be reached for an official reaction to the allegations.

i am a slowpoke , the market was shut down b'cos of planned pro-biafran protest

[s]One nonentity, "General Playboy", can now subtly threaten the FG- no thanks to Jonathan who over-fed and spoiled these crooks silly so much so that they dictated to him at some point when he wanted to commission an EFZ for the benefit of the entire region- and ooooh, how he followed their orders!!

Did "Playboy" give an ultimatum or did he forget that part

We nor blame una.

By the way, I wonder why they keep referring to these guys as "ex-militants". They are still militants, still bear arms, still forment trouble, hence they should be referred to as treated as such by the press.

They can blow up all they pipelines they want- I'm sure they are oblivious of what's going on at the international oil market and how such sabotage can impact their own environment (both land and water body). Tomorrow these same illiterate would protest to the ICC over environmental degradation by the IOCs.

Pity.[/s]

Because of your obsession with north, you mistakenly type 'not'.

Because there is no wisdom in Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB business..
Foolishness is not Igbo- Gen. Ihejirika

These Nnamdi Kanu IPOBs should respect themselves and stop attracting insults to the GREAT IGBO NATION
-- Many responsible IGBOS in Lagos are going about their various business and living peacefully with their host community.. Lagos is a yoruba land.
