The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has applauded the decision of the United States government to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) over alleged religious persecution, describing the move as a major step toward addressing longstanding security and human rights challenges in the country.

In a statement signed by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, IPOB said the U.S. designation—coming shortly after a Canadian court reportedly classified Nigeria’s major political parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as “terror-enabling organisations”—validated concerns raised over years about systemic attacks on Christian and Igbo communities.

The group expressed gratitude to former U.S. President Donald J. Trump, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, and several Biafran advocacy groups and allies in the United States whose efforts, it said, helped draw global attention to alleged ethnic and religious violence in Nigeria.

“This recognition is not merely symbolic; it represents a moral victory for justice, truth, and the sanctity of human life,” the statement read. IPOB said the U.S. action highlighted what it described as the Nigerian state’s complicity in sectarian killings and state-sponsored violence.

Despite welcoming the designation, IPOB said more action is required from the international community. The group called for an independent global investigation into what it described as persistent ethno-religious killings and insecurity in Igboland.

According to the statement, such an inquiry would help identify “the perpetrators, financiers, and political enablers” behind the violence and ensure accountability under international human rights law.

The group also commended the efforts of the American Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID), Ambassadors for Self-Determination, and other international advocacy organisations for continually speaking out against “tyranny, impunity, and genocide.”

IPOB said the U.S. designation would bring renewed hope not only to the Igbo population but also to Christian communities across Northern Nigeria and residents of the Middle Belt region, who have suffered years of violent attacks.

The movement described the development as a diplomatic milestone attributed to the collective efforts of its members globally.

Lagos is Yorubaland
If we wanted to deal with you we would do so easily and peacefully

Respect your Hosts if you want to live in Yorubaland like our people always
respect you in your SE

Christistruth00:
Never start what you cannot handle

All tribes loost property to lagos demolitions

If we really wanted to deal with you we would have closed down all your Markets in SW and have coverted them into industrial hubs for indigenes and foreign investors. .

We understand how to do it
You would peacefully migrate elsewhere by yourself .
We will even throw you a big Owanbe sendoff party

Christistruth00:
Donald Trump is interested in Nigeria"s Resources and Nigerians should guard their father's house from the Fox.
Insecurity can be solved by Nigerians themselves.
Take a good look at what US did to Libya in your backyard and learn.

We Yorubaland Christians are against all Islamic Terrorists too.not only that our own Kogi and Kwara areas in Middlebelt NC are under full attack from the very same Islamic Terrorists

Let Northern Christians have their own Legitimate Civilian JTF that will guard their own areas themselves even if the Security agencies are slacking or compromised

hakeemhakeem:
But you can vote for someone that was in government when people were killed and thrown into the river

shortgun:
The United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio has identified Fulani ethnic militias and radical Islamists as being responsible for the genocide against Christians in Nigeria.

"The ongoing slaughter of thousands of Christians in Nigeria by radical Islamists and Fulani ethnic militias is both tragic and unacceptable. As @POTUS said, the United States stands ready, willing, and able to act".—US Secretary of State


https://x.com/SecRubio/status/1984349709943914497?t=wYwB_f2W1R6xzT7ZAZNm2w&s=09[/quote]madridguy I hope you support Marco Rubio's statement. He identified Fulani ethnic militias are being partly responsible for the current Christian genocide happening in Nigeria.

I support everything Rubio said. Do you?

Ttalk:
We would instead vote for Remi Tinubu or Seyi Tinubu. Since you guys have stop using your faculty it is better to just flow with your entertainment.

buckeyemedia:
Yes when Tinubu leaves in 2031, he will install a Northern Christian as president, & southern Muslim as his vice.

The Federal Republic of Nigeria na very unique country.

madridguy:
I have said it here long time ago, if we really need a good change in Nigeria, let we the masses just beg the USA, UK, CANADA, FRANCE and Germany never to allow Nigeria politicians and their children in their country again believe me within 2 years we will have good roads, good hospitals and schools.

When they know there's no where they can keep their wives and children again, they will fix everything in Nigeria.

And a whole load of crap.....

buckeyemedia:
ebo Christian abi?

I have said it b4 nothing like Christian genocide in Nigeria, na election loss they pain Obidients & Eyepobians & u just confirmed it.

Stricker321:
It's a good thing Trump finally declared Nigeria as a country of particular concern.

Trump will help by removing the Muslim/Muslim ticket. Nigeria is too big for this nonsense and insensitive combination.

They will be replaced by either a Christian/Muslim or Muslim/Christian combination in 2027.

Bookmark this post for future reference.

Tinubu will rule for only one term.

zero8zero:
And he hasn't lobbied Trump to ask for the release of the Kuje Lord, abi your donation never reach?
I have never heard Trump acknowledged you guys in any of his speech, why?. He has acknowledged almost all his friends and supporters one way or the other. Trump doesn't even give a rat rass about you, na you dey famz am

allthingsgood:
This is the problem of Africa, they never learn! So in your mind now, America has the best interest of Christians in far away Africa or what Can't you guys think for once! Damn

zero8zero:
Ipob don start again . And Trump has not said pim about Nnamdi Kanu after boasting he would send special marines to come rescue him. How about Nentayahu?. This bullcrap is why you guys have been reduced to an empty shell.

Saturnalia:
Why not ? Nigeria has plenty Crude Oil they want to steal to clear their enormous & generational debt.

The genocide that is currently ongoing in Sudan is not enough to declare it a “Country of Interest” because Sudan does not have Crude Oil they can steal.

This is why I urge Tinubu to quickly embrace Putin and Mother Russia if he really wants to rule till 2031.

It may be dangerous to be Amerika's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal - they will fvck you up when you least expect it.

hotseat:
These recent cries of "genocide" seems to have an agenda attached to it, if you ask me.

Recall that the some faceless individuals and groups in the USA had wrongly predicted that Nigeria would cease to exist by 2015.

In the same sinister motive, they came up with another conspiracy theory that Nigeria would breakup by the year 2030.

As if they can't wait for the year of Nigeria's Armageddon come 2030, they are now trying to exploit religion, being a very emotive issue, to bring their devilish predictions to come to pass.


At the height of the killings in Plateau, Benue, Southern Kaduna, etc, these insidious enemies were fervently praying in their hearts for their evil predictions to come through.

Seeing that the large-scale killings in those places are gradually reducing, they are now bringing up the issue of "Christian genocide" as a bait to instigate a religious war.

The questions therefore are:

1) Who wants Nigeria to break-up?

2) Who's interest is it meant to serve?

3) Why the renewed vigour of Ted Cruz, Moore and their other agents of destabilization?

4) Do they suddenly love Nigeria more than themselves?

5) Is the break-up of Nigeria a state policy of the US Government or just the handiwork of some mischief-makers?

6) Are these evil men being sponsored by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)?

7) If yes, have they thought about the consequences of their actions?

These few questions would suffice in the meantime.

My candid advice to Nigerians is that they should never allow themselves to be used to dismember Nigeria because the consequences would be too great to imagine.

We all (Christians and Muslims) stand to lose in the event of a break-up.

Every country passes through one form of challenge or the other in the course of their political journey and political history, Nigeria is not an exception.

The USA fought a bitter civil war in the course of their history!

Gun control continues to pose a serious challenge and threat to the USA yet, they continue to chant USA! USA! USA! and "God bless America"!

No American is calling for the break-up of their country which they call "God's own country".


Nigerians: let's "shine our eyes"!



@hotseat

Mrchippychappy:
Bro, I know, there's so much ground to cover to expose the lies that there is no Christian genocide carried out by Fulani herdsmen backed by powerful people in the government, that's why I encourage everyone to share their own report and cite credible sources.


2.2.1. KILLINGS BY FULANI HERDERS
The five states in the South-East, particularly Enugu and Ebonyi states, have been the sites of several clashes
between farmers and Fulani herders over grazing lands.
Amnesty International’s research shows that scores of persons were killed when Fulani herders invaded the
Ukpabi Nimbo community in Uzo-Uwani LGA of Enugu state on 25 April 2016 and displacing the residents.218
Amnesty International research found that between 2019 and 2023, an unspecified number of people were killed by herdsmen in Enugu state, in communities such as Eha Amufu, Emene, 9th Mile Corner, Amagunze in
Nkanu East, Oji River, Nimbo Nsukka, Igboeze North/South, and Awgu.

Mrchippychappy:
Feel free to add yours as well and always cite sources. Information as power and apparently this is the only way to destroy a well oiled machinery that has been created to spew Propaganda and lies.

LegendHero:
So una no know this na AI?

Kukutente23:
Are you sure you read what I wrote? I mentioned two leaves Yoruba use in preparing egusi and made clear to you that most Yoruba don't add leaves when cooking egusi. The fact that you do not recognise the leaves should already tell you what you're looking for

Read and understand pls

Kukutente23:
The questions you're asking are largely irrelevant. Your first question assumes that all methods of cooking egusi must involve the use of vegetables. Neither Yoruba nor nupe add any vegetables to their egusi basically. Some Yorubas who do add scent leaves which is locally called (efirin) or another leaf called worowo. The north add the normal spinach if they need to. Neither Yoruba nor Nupe use ugu in cooking egusi
The efik use waterleaf and bitterleaf for their edikaikong
The Yorubas use bitterleaf to make vegetables along with spinach or alone. You can Google it for more tribes

Kukutente23:
I have eaten egusi soup from Yoruba, Igbo and a northern tribe and they all did theirs differently
For the egusi soup in Yorubaland, they first fry the palm oil, then pour the egusi mixed with onion into it.
For the Igbo, they don't fry the palm oil, they add it while the egusi is cooking on the fire. If I'm wrong, correct me
For the Nupe, they don't use palm oil at all, they use benniseed oil or groundnut oil and it's very small quantity compared to the two above
Yoruba egusi is thicker than Igbo egusi soup.

Yoruba, Idoma, Numan and Bini are tribes that I know that make bitterleaf soup other than the Igbo. The Efik and Annang use bitterleaf in some of their soups to. Like i told you, these leaves are indigenous to West Africa and thus no tribe can claim sole ownership

Next thing, you'll claim ewedu(jute leaves) is exclusive to Yoruba and who will you give okro to?

Kukutente23:
You mean Igbos taught other tribes how to grow and eat egusi? Are you sure about that?

And where did you get the idea that only Igbos eat bitterleaf soup in Nigeria

Putinofrussia:
I don't have to argue with you because some of the words you use in your Igbo language were given to you by Ajayi Crowther who taught you Igbos how to read and write.

Our forefathers even have proverbs tied to our beloved Egusi which we gifted you Igbos.


A fi Egusi je iyan tan, eepo re wa di ohun ti a kii ji ri.
Meaning:
Having finished eating pounded yam with melon soup, shells of melon seeds now become a taboo that we don't set our eyes upon early in the morning.
Taboos and superstitions, called eewo in Yoruba, which are deeply rooted in a people's culture and religious beliefs, are known to have been part of early man's efforts to explain nature and his own existence, to avoid evil he could not understand as well as pry into the future.
Yoruba culture is rich in so many such taboos. Examples abound. Omode ko gbodo fi igi fa ila si ile. A child must never draw lines on the ground. A ko gbodo ta ayo ni owuro, ki oju eni naa ma ba fo. The ayo game must never be played in the morning to avoid blindness.
A good example is the one quoted in this item. It is forbidden for the melon peels to remain on the ground to be trod upon when day breaks. It was simply meant to force the peelers, (who usually peeled by hand) to quickly clean up after themselves. The saying is from a commentary on the situation.
After being nourished by the melon seeds, the shells are treated despisingly as they are looked upon as evil that brings bad luck. It implies that it is wrong to treat something with disdain or ignominy after benefitting good things from them.
This is another item in the book OLOGBON WO NI O MO IDI OWE- A Synopsis of Selected Yoruba Proverbs and Sayings by Adenike Omotunde Lapite. Copies are available in the UK and the United States of America and Nigeria.

Kukutente23:
Egusi soup just like okro, waterleaf, spinach, bitterleaf etc are not particular to any tribe in West Africa. They grow naturally and are thus used by all within the West African region regardless of tribe or culture. I can bet the egusi you eat in the East today is cultivated in the North

Putinofrussia:
Don't be an olodo.
Everybody knows that Yoruba owns Egusi.
Yorubas don't mind whatever you do with Egusi.It is a gift with love from your senior bros and sis.

Putinofrussia:

Putinofrussia:
Ahead in backwardness or what?
Yorubas have not only gone to space,they have sent egusi to space while you continue to beg for alms in the SW and etc
Continue to hate on your helper,you hear?

Toruibestate:
Because he is Ijaw and not Igbo.

Ijaw is not their mate.
Igbos are the ones being treated like less privileged.
Since Nigeria hate Igbo so much, why can't they allow Igbos go?
Yes, let them go.

@Ditari of Ijaw.
