Please I just want IPOB members to answer this question. What will you guys gain if you don't come out that day to vote? Because even if you people boycott the election, some people will still come out to vote and their votes must be counted and a winner will surely emerge. Enugu is a good example

They will make our politicians jobless. That one alone is OK.

The above post proved the poster is political rudimentary. It proves the IPOB are totally resolved to achieve self determination. Also, any scumbag who wins the election can never remotely say he/she has majority mandate of the people. He/she shall be a subject of boos in any gathering.

Don't mind Dem... Dey alwz engage in things dat are not inline with their so called goal...#Confused pple#

Those APC goons campaigning against no elections in Anambra through cleverly manipulating some IPOB members to stop elections have never said Obiano has failed. Instead, they say they are discouraging people to come out to vote. Their simple strategy being to use their own imported thugs from APC states to rig the Anambra polls. Let me state that Willie Obiano is not an average Nigeria politician. Before Peter Obi and Willie Obiano, Anambra recorded last in ALL development indices and was a den of criminals. Today, you cannot mention anything positive from economic growth to education to positive health outcomes without Anambra being in among the first 10 states! It is an impressive achievement!! So STOP peddling falsehoods that nothing has changed in Anambra for decades. We all know it is a big lie.

Part of the problem with Nigerians is refusing to participate and expecting things to magically change. I wonder how you can win a tournament match such as FIFA World cup if you simply decided not to play a match outside of FIFA rules and regulations.

Now apply the above analogy to boycotting an election where the rule does not say a Governorship election should in anyway affect how Nigeria is run. The law clearly allows the appointment of sole administrators to run states where an election is not possible. Perhaps Nnamdi Kanu is insensitive to this issue because he isn't from Anambra, but people from there who had seen schools closed for one due to non-payment of salaries and complete collapse of every infrastructure in the state will never wish to return to such nightmarish situation. Especially if their sacrifice will be meaningless in bringing any sort of change nationally unless it is perfomed simultaneously in 12 states and in a Presidential election.


Now to the plot by APC to somehow engineer a poor voters turnout so that people they hired from other states can vote and rig their former university cult leader into the Governor. We already know that only APGA selects the best candidates to rule any part of Igboland. The other parties for some strange reasons select the worst criminals and anti-social elements from Igboland to foist on Igbos as their leaders.

The so called IPOB plan to boycott gubernatorial Anambra elections was an unfortunate misunderstanding of what the constitution says. So it was ill thought out and flawed from the start. You have got to do things within what is possible within the law. There is NO WHERE in Nigerian constitution where it said if you failed to vote in a gubernatorial election, it would amount to any sort of constitutional issue for the country.

Nigeria's 1999 constitution did say that to become a PRESIDENT of Nigeria, you MUST have 25% of the votes in 24 STATES. This clause means that if you can prevent elections from holding in 12 or 13 states, you will create a constitutional problem that will make it impossible for anyone to be declared PRESIDENT based on the constitutional provision. To achieve No election in 12 states out of 17 states in southern Nigeria will require concerted collaboration between Afenifere, Ohaneze and other socio-political groups. Anambra ALONE cannot cause such national effect even in a Presidential election talkmore the misguided campaign to boycott a gubernatorial election.

wetin you dey talk sef.
They are saying governorship election
You dey cap Presidential election
Wida

They have just one purpose and that's all they ever want; to massage their ego! "We declared sit-at-home and got total compliance. We declared no referendum, no election and got same." Nothing more! No true love and concern about the welfare of their own.
If not, tell me how a sane man will think boycotting an election in Anambra affect Buhari in Abuja when someone will definitely govern Anambra state.
Ok. You want to tell the world that Igbos don't want to be part of Nigeria again, how will that bring referendum? Who will push for the referendum and get it, IPOB or the ruling class from the region?

IPOB clearly, is a rebel group and every government world over, fights against rebels.

IPOB press Statement

Today: 11-11-2017

The leadership and family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the prophet of our time, do hereby call on every Biafran, both home and abroad, particularly indigenes and friends of our brothers and sisters living in Biafraland to prepare for the total boycott and lock down of Anambra State on Saturday next week being the 18th November 2017.

It is imperative for all, especially those residing outside the borders of Biafraland, to make contact with their respective families at home, to convey the reason why every Biafran must boycott all future Nigerian elections, including this upcoming Anambra State gubernatorial scheduled for the 18th of November 2017 which is next week Saturday.

It is also very critical to inform every Biafran, be you IPOB family member, businessman, farmer, artisan, driver, teacher, doctor, Okada/Tricycle Union, civil servant, trader, market leader, LUBAN, National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), National Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), NILODAS, fisherman, market men and women, including politicians who believe in freedom and liberty of a free independent State of Biafra, to boycott this Anambra State election. The successful boycott of this coming election will convey in unequivocal terms, our never say die determination and resolve to restore Biafra at all cost. This Anambra election boycott will our agitation unprecedented global momentum that would move world leaders to accept the inevitable democratic and peaceful break-up of Nigeria. They will be morally bound to consider a possible date for Biafra referendum for independence without delay. A vote in Anambra elections will mean electing into office the same people who over the years have been responsible for the death, pain, misery, agony and suffering of our people. We would have only succeeded in renewing our suffering for another four years.

We IPOB recognise the suffering of other ethnic groups all over Nigeria and would genuinely wish their humiliation and difficulties to be brought to an end. We want every ethnic group in Nigeria to be free from the bondage of colonial amalgamation imposed on everybody. Therefore, it would be desirable for those championing for true change to embrace this act of civil disobedience championed by IPOB to liberate all oppressed people in Nigeria. If every component part of Nigeria were to adopt total election boycott, power will return to the people and things will change for the better for evwrybody. As long as we keep voting the same band of criminals into political positions every four years, things will never change because they are taking is for granted. They know that no matter how poorly they treat us, once every four years we return them to power with the help of INEC. Suffering, hardship, poverty, suicide and hopelessness will continue to be on the rise unless we take our destiny on our hands and this election boycott is a golden opportunity to send a clear unmistakable message to the corrupt establishment that things can no longer go on this way. The power to force a change through is in our own hands. If you vote, you have handed over that power to INEC to declare whoever they want as the winner. Voting under the present corrupt electoral system in Nigeria superintended by INEC is willful slavery. The same criminals will continue to emerge to inflict more misery upon the majority.

We the people of Biafra have therefore decided to prove to the entire world that we desperately need liberty and freedom through the instrumentality of civil disobedience beginning with election boycott in Anambra State come Saturday next week. The whole world is watching to see if we can match our determination with tangible, measurable outcome.

Everywhere around the world today people are writing and commenting on the Biafra/IPOB/Nnamdi Kanu phenomenon, including the upcoming election boycott in Anambra State. This is despite the concerted effort of the Buhari regime to cajole, bribe and intimidate media houses not to cover Biafra related issues on mainstream media platforms.

We IPOB expect nothing short of total boycott and paralysis of Anambra State on election day next week, in line with our legendary discipline and obedience to command. We advise everyone to stay indoors on that particular day because Nigerian soldiers will kill as many people as possible out of frustration and anger as they always do whenever Aso Rock loses any moral argument.

Other ethnic groups in Nigeria must understand that IPOB under the visionary leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not pushing for an independent Biafra state to spite any tribe or group of persons but rather to provide a chance for decent living, under liberty and freedom, for Biafran generations unborn. We cannot in all honesty continue to tolerate this life of mediocrity and miserable existence we are forced to endure in this Luggardian contraption. It will be tantamount to abdication of responsibility to posterity should we in this present generation, fold our hands and hope that the present crop of selfish politicians with their skewed political structure will turn our fortunes around. What goes on in Abuja in the name of modern governance is a pathetic joke than no sane mind should condone. If other ethnic groups cannot see the irredeemable mess Nigeria is in then we Biafrans can and will do everything possible to set our people free.

IPOB is fully committed towards the restoration of Biafra independence no matter the human and material cost. Biafra must become an independent nation and as a consequence other ethnic groups that presently make up what we know as Nigeria will be liberated too. Only then will a union of free ethnic groups emerge to create a civilised country out of their own volition not brute force. What we have today as Nigeria is a British creation not African. It is only morally right for Africans to be allowed to create and most importantly define their own countries of choice. Who knows, one day Biafra as an independent nation may go into a union with other ethnic groups to form a larger country with the consent of their respective peoples. That is how true nation states emerge, not through force of arms. Our freedom for Biafra independence is loading and there is nothing anybody can do to stop it.

same trash on every thread

by not voting they will prove to the world that they are not part of the sham ,it is very simple even a child knows the effect.
give them referendum to choose where they want to belong ,it is as simple as that.
for how long do you think you with continue killing this people?they dont seem to want to give up anytime soon.the more you kill them,the more they are strengthened.

Anambra should go and vote

The no election call is meaningless and will only help APC rigging. Anambra should go and vote

The election boycott is to show a rejection of Nigeria.
Nigerians should get this into their terrorism brains.

It’ll make governors buckle up too. It put pressure on Obiano. Pressure is good sometime.
