Lagos - The spokesperson of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Emma Powerful, has insisted that Biafra is not seceding, but only fighting for the restoration of its nation through peaceful protests.

In a telephone interview with News24 Nigeria on Tuesday, Powerful denied that IPOB had plans to use violence to get its demands met, and called for the immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu and two others have been charged with treason and other related offences on account of his agitation for the secession of the South-East and other areas of the country to form a sovereign state of Biafra.

Kanu is the face of IPOB and creator of Radio Biafra.

Powerful denied that Kanu had apologized to President Muhammadu Buhari, as reports recently indicated.

“I want the world and the international community to tell Buhari to release Nnamdi Kanu immediately. He did not do anything wrong," Powerful said.

Powerful threatened that if anything happened to Kanu, who is said to be ill and has no access to medical care, there won’t be peace in Nigeria.

"Nnamdi Kanu is our Moses, he is the one leading us out of this zoo, presently he is locked up in prison, he is sick, but has no access to medical care, I am calling on the international community to tell them that if anything happens to him, Nigeria will know no peace.

We will not physically fight Nigeria, but we will protest, till they have arrested or shot everybody. How many of us can they arrest or shoot?,” said Powerful.

Powerful laid support to Kanu’s categorization of Nigeria as a zoo. He said the regular Boko Haram killings in the North-eastern part of the country, and president Buhari's support to have Kanu remanded in prison even after the court granted him bail, were some of the reasons why Nigeria could be referred to as a zoo.

According to reports, Kanu confirmed in a statement dated October 24, 2015 that he called Nigeria a zoo to justify his belief that the only language its people understood was violence.

Powerful said there was an imbalance in the structure of Nigeria, with most eastern states having a less number of local governments compared to the northern states.

He said the eastern and south-south states were marginalized, and treated as “fools”.

He vowed that the restoration of Biafra would put an end to the imbalance, “because a nation will be born”.

"We are doing all of this for our children. Our people are being caged and we will not stop until Biafra is realized"

He said that the Nigeria state expired in 2014, echoing what the country’s colonial masters, Great Britain, said several years ago - that Nigeria will last for 100 years.

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Empty noise as before. First it was if he is arrested, he's been incarcerated for months now, nothing.
Now another rounds of fumbling again?

Mr Buhari abeg release this guy as far court ruling on his bail. Obey the rule of law na.

What will IPOB do? Start running around the streets of the East again in the name of protests?

Are they that silly?

You don't go about threatening a country, when you have not taken care of your own house first.

Igboland have a bunch of political jobbers whose hands are stained in corruption and easily blackmailed into carrying out anti Igbo activities by the powers that be, and all IPOB are interested in doing is marching all over the place?

How hard is it for them( Igbo youths) for to see that the easiest way out of their current conundrum is by hijacking the political representation of Igboland from the current corrupt political jobbers that control their politics and hence their destiny, by making use of their grassroot presence and support of the Igbo populace to vote out the current political jobbers and install themselves politically all over Igboland. This should be the Vision 2019 of all Igbo youth groups.

Who was responsible for the hundreds of Igbo youth bodies thrown at Ezu River? It wasn't a non Igbo.
Why do you think that almost all these old Igbo political jobbers are running to embrace APC, what do you think is pursing them if not the skeletons in their cardboards that the powers that be will use to disgrace them, if they don't submit to them?
How then can you leave your political lifeline at the hands of such people, but instead March all over the streets chanting?
If this is not a case of misplaced priority, I don't know what else it is.

This is like 3rd or 4th time i'm reading this... Giving ''henti'' threat won't do u any good

''Ipod or death'' kanu

You channel your energy at the wrong venture, Igboland is due for an in house clean up, I expect Igbo youths to lead that. Get your house in other, then meet Nigerians from a point of strength.

You can't be screaming for dissolution of Nigeria, while the political jobbers representing you, scream " One Nigeria", you make mockery of yourselves and provide a comedy show for the rest of Nigeria.

A divided house is only headed for one direction.

You can even take your secession to the floors of the Nigerian Senate, but first you have to get your house in order. Save Igboland from the hands of political jobbers that currently plaque her, transform this your struggle from a street one( Elections are won in the streets and villages) to a mandate backed ideology, secure your power base politically, and proceed from there.

Is this rocket science?

Reminds me of an old song 'who let the dogs out whoof whoof whoof whoof whoof' only bark but no bite. Ipob youths better get a life.

I can never comprehend why yorubas are insatiably obsessed with anything Igbo or Biazfra. They lose every sense of reason and basic human decency when Igbo or Biazfra is mentioned. Other tribes in Nigeria are paying attention to their irrational demonic behavior.
