LAGOS—A group of human rights activists under the aegis of Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice, CHRSJ, has supportedt the open protest slated for Friday this week by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, against the continued detention of their leader, Comrade Nnamdi Kanu, by the Federal Government under President Muhamadu Buhari’s watch, saying that the detention of Kanu was illegal and unconstitutional. It will be recalled that the IPOB, through its spokesperson on Monday, has enjoined the Igbo people and all those who believed in the Biafra ideology in the country to sit-at- home and shutdown their businesses on Friday, September 23, in protest over illegal continued detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. The activists were drawn from: The Christian Awareness Mission Group, CAMG; Passengers Fundamental Rights Group PATRGIA;The Islamic Political Awareness Group, TIPAG; Centre for Social Justice and Equity of Nigeria, ESJEN; Civil Societies Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State, CSCEOS; Veteran Groups for Operation Clean Crusade, VGOCC; Apata-Aiyeraye Social Political Volunteer Group, ASPVG; De-Mainstream Independent Group, DMIG; and Coalition Against Illegal Arrest & Unlawful Detention, CAIA&UD. Others were: Centre for Constitutional Rights and Counter Corruption Crusader; Save Lagos Group, SLG; The ConscienceMainstream, TCM; African Masses Voices for Survival, AMVS; The Christians Youths for the Peoples’ Rights and Development, CYPRD; Islamic Movement for Muslims’ Rights, IMMR; Divine Nigerians Liberators for Peoples’ Fundamental Rights, DNLPFR; and The Christians Volunteers Groups for Good Governance in Nigeria, TCVGGGN. Speaking on behalf of the group, its Coordinating leader, Comrade Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman, in a statement made available to newsmen on Monday, declared their total support for the proposed peaceful protest to be embarked upon by the members of the IPOB, in pressurizing for their home demand, demanding unconditional release of Biafra Radio Director (Kanu) from the custody of Federal Government. It strongly condemned the illegal continued detention of Kanu, which it stated that was against the principles of democracy that gives the citizens freedom to assemble and express his or her opinion without any hindrance, showing concern on what it may happen on the continued detention of Biafra leader. It then called on, all lovers of democracy in Nigeria and Diaspora to guide against using brute force of despotic days of military era on the innocent citizens of the country by Buhari’s government, describing the proposed protest as welcome development in right direction.

thickens

By Emeka Mamah ENUGU – The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of allegedly having more interest in the welfare of his cattle in his country home in Daura, Katsina State than Biafrans or other Nigerians. IPOB said that apart from overseas countries which Buhari had visited for about 30 times since he became president over a year ago and Daura or other northern states, he had not stepped into any part of Igbo land or Biafra, adding that he usually travelled to see his animals rather than his fellow citizens. This was contained in a statement issued by IPOB Spokespersons, Mr Emma Nmezu and Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya yesterday. They spoke against the backdrop of the comments credited to Buhari to the effect that south east youth corps members serving in Daura should educate their people on the need to ensure Nigerian unity when they get home after completing their compulsory one year national service. “The first question is, why can’t Buhari come to Biafra land to lecture Biafrans on unity rather than mouthing it every time he visits his cow ranch in Daura or someplace in Northern Nigeria? “Is Northern Nigeria the only place that a president travels to? Can anyone point to a single visit that Buhari has made to Biafraland from May 29, 2015 till date? “Buhari has more regards and affection for his cows than the average Biafran because he finds time to visit animals rather than those he claim to be his fellow citizens… “Buhari has made 30 foreign trips as at the end of May 2016 as well as countless trips to the Northern part of Nigeria including Boko Haram controlled regions but he has not set his feet on Biafran soil since he was sworn in on May 29, 2015. “Buhari must understand that a nation develops organically and is predicated on the commonality of shared value systems. A nation is markedly different from a country even our colonial masters know this. “That is why Scotland which is a nation can seek independence from Britain which is a country. The same way that Biafra a nation is seeking her independence from Nigeria. Buhari must know that Nigeria may claim to be a country but definitely not a nation. “Muhammadu Buhari should also understand that unity cannot be force-fitted or enforced by one region on other regions within a geographical expression. This is why David Cameron, immediate past British Prime Minister, did not deploy troops to Glasgow or Edinburgh with Rules of Engagement, ROE, to kill innocent Scottish people in the quest to preserve one Britain. “If Britain our colonial masters and the creator of Nigeria can allow the Scots to determine their fate, how much more their product Nigeria refusing the nation of Biafra the same right. Therefore the assertion by Buhari that Biafrans must stay together with the rest of Nigeria is not enforceable under any known law on this planet earth. “The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, UNDRIP, makes it clear that Biafrans have the inalienable right to be on their own as a sovereign nation. The right to self-determination is not synonymous with war or violence. “Buhari should therefore, not juxtapose self-determination with war because the two are not interchangeable. The least he can do is to use the instrument of referendum to test the resolve of Biafrans in their quest for the restoration of the nation of Biafra. “We will also like to remind Buhari that the sovereignty of a nation is not premised on size. The excuse that Nigeria is big enough and therefore Biafrans are bound by the sheer size of Nigeria to be part of it, is not logical. The Soviet Union was big and a super power but they broke up. “Yugoslavia went their separate ways with the active support of Britain. Those familiar with the history of British politics will know that it was Paddy Ashdown, MP the leader of the Liberal Democrat Party that sought and gained the backing of the British government of the day to support the independence of the Muslim enclave of Bosnia Herzegovina from Yugoslavia. “There are nations that are significantly smaller than Biafra both in size and in population. For Buhari’s information, Biafra has a population of over 70 million. The total area of Biafra is over 29,400 square miles. Thus Biafra is almost as big as Gambia and Sierra Leone put together, and is bigger than Togo or Rwanda and Burundi combined, and is four times the size of Israel. “Additionally, we do not need Buhari to lecture us on the resources in Biafraland because we are already aware of them. For us in Biafra, we cherish and give the greatest priority to human resource unlike Buhari’s Nigeria which operates a rentier economy with heavy dependence on Biafran oil and gas resources. Buhari should understand that one of the requirements of a soldier is endurance trekking. Therefore, that he may have trekked from one location to the other should not be used to scare Biafrans from exerting their rights to self-determination. After all General Ratko Mladic walked all the way from Serbia to Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina to commit war crimes in the name of preserving Yugoslav unity yet in the end he lost. Buhari intentionally refused to inform the graduates that during his trekking experience from Degem to Biafra’s boundary with Ambazonia (Southern Cameroon), he committed genocide along the way and this includes the two million Biafrans he killed at Owerri in 1968. “Because Buhari was a junior officer in the Nigerian Army, it is understandable that he was not privy to the motive behind the war of genocide on Biafra which had the backing of our colonial masters. “It may interest Buhari to know that in August 1967, the British Commonwealth Minister George Thomas informed the British Parliament that: The sole immediate British interest in Nigeria is that the Nigerian economy should be brought back to a condition in which our substantial trade and investment in the country can be further developed, and particularly so we can regain access to important oil installations. “It should now understand that oil is the main reason why they got the support of Britain. It was because of the control of oil in Biafraland that Britain in 1968 alone supplied hundreds of armoured personnel carriers, APCs; 10,000 machine guns, 20 million rounds of ammunition, 3,000 bayonets, 10,000 rifles with grenade launchers, 15,000 pounds of explosives, 21,000 mortar bombs, 42,500 Howtizer rounds, 5,000 submachine guns and other weapons of mass destruction deployed, in one year alone, leading to the killing fields in Biafraland under the supervision of Muhammadu Buhari and his co-travellers. “Without this one-sided military support from the British to Nigeria while at the same time denying Biafra access to weapons, even Buhari himself knows that there is no way in a billion years Nigeria could have defeated Biafra in a war. “Buhari must know that 1967 to 1970 is in the past and similar conditions are no longer obtainable in today’s world. Self-determination by an indigenous people is not equivalent to declaration of war especially as is being peacefully pursued by Biafrans. “However, should Buhari tow the path of war then he must know that Nigeria cannot win it. We are peaceful campaigners for the self determination of the peoples of Biafra. We have not come to war with anybody but if in the end Buhari chooses war then we can assure him that it will be the greatest mistake of the Caliphate. History is on the side of Biafra because the youths of Niger Delta have woken up to their responsibility in the organised resistance of Biafrans of all persuasions to oppression from those that think they cannot live without oil. “He should stop living in the past and face the realities of the 21st Century. War-mongering and regurgitation of the stories of Biafra genocide will not shake the resolve and determination of Biafrans on the restoration of their God- given nation of Biafra. The earlier Buhari understands that nothing on this earth can stop the restoration of the nation of Biafra, the better for him and his blood-thirsty Hausa- Fulani parasites and oligarchs. We reiterate that the restoration of the nation of Biafra is divine and beyond the whims and caprices of Muhammadu Buhari and his co-travelers. Biafra or death!!!”

The Niger Delta is the delta of the Niger River sitting directly on the Bight of Biafra side of the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean in Nigeria. [1] It is a very densely populated region sometimes called the Oil Rivers because it was once a major producer of palm oil . The area was the British Oil Rivers Protectorate from 1885 until 1893, when it was expanded and became the Niger Coast Protectorate . The delta is an oil-rich region, and has been the centre of international controversy over pollution, corruption (notably by the Abacha regime), and human rights violations . [citation needed ] Geography The Niger Delta, as now defined officially by the Nigerian government, extends over about 70,000 km 2 (27,000 sq mi) and makes up 7.5% of Nigeria's land mass. Historically and cartographically, it consists of present-day Bayelsa , Delta , and Rivers States . In 2000, however, Obasanjo's regime included Abia, Akwa-Ibom , Cross River State, Edo , Imo and Ondo States in the region. Some 31 million people [2] of more than 40 ethnic groups including the Bini , Efik , Esan , Ibibio, Igbo , Annang , Oron, Ijaw , Itsekiri , Isoko, Urhobo, Ukwuani , Kalabari and Ogoni , are among the inhabitants of the political Niger Delta, speaking about 250 different dialects. The Niger Delta, and the "South South Zone", which includes Akwa Ibom State, Bayelsa State, Cross River State, Delta State, Edo State and Rivers State are two different entities. While the Niger Delta is the oil- producing region the Nigerian South South is a geo-political zone. The Niger Delta separates the Bight of Benin from the Bight of Biafra within the larger Gulf of Guinea . History Colonial period The area was the British Oil Rivers Protectorate from 1885 until 1893, when it was expanded and became the Niger Coast Protectorate . The core Niger Delta later became a part of the eastern region of Nigeria, which came into being in 1951 (one of the three regions, and later one of the four regions). The majority of the people were those from the colonial Calabar and Ogoja divisions, the present-day Ogoja , Annang , Ibibio , Oron, Efik , Ijaw , and Igbo peoples. The National Council of Nigeria and Cameroon (NCNC) was the ruling political party of the region. The NCNC later became the National Convention of Nigerian Citizens, after western Cameroon decided to separate from Nigeria. The ruling party of eastern Nigeria did not seek to preclude the separation and even encouraged it. The then Eastern Region had the second, fourth and fifth largest ethnic groups in the country (the Igbo , the Ibibio and the Ijaw ) after the Hausa - Fulani and the Yoruba . In 1953, the old eastern region had a major crisis due to the expulsion of professor Eyo Ita from office by the majority Igbo tribe of the old eastern region. Ita, an Efik man from Calabar, was one of the pioneer nationalists for Nigerian independence. The minorities in the region, the Ibibio , Annang , Efik , Ijaw and Ogoja , were situated along the southeastern coast and in the delta region and demanded a state of their own, the Calabar-Ogoja-Rivers (COR) state. The struggle for the creation of the COR state continued and was a major issue concerning the status of minorities in Nigeria during debates in Europe on Nigerian independence. As a result of this crisis, Professor Eyo Ita left the NCNC to form a new political party called the National Independence Party (NIP) which was one of the five Nigerian political parties represented at the conferences on Nigerian Constitution and Independence. Post-colonial period In 1961, another major crisis occurred when the then eastern region of Nigeria allowed present-day Southwestern Cameroon to separate from Nigeria (from the region of what is now Akwa Ibom and Cross River states) through a plebiscite while the leadership of the then Northern Region took the necessary steps to keep Northwestern Cameroon in Nigeria, in present-day Adamawa and Taraba states. The aftermath of the 1961 plebiscite has led to a dispute between Cameroon and Nigeria over the small territory of Bakassi. A new phase of the struggle saw the declaration of an Independent Niger Delta Republic by Isaac Adaka Boro during Nigerian president Ironsi's administration, just before the Nigerian Civil War. Also just before the Nigerian civil war, Southeastern State of Nigeria was created (also known as Southeastern Nigeria or Coastal Southeastern Nigeria), which had the colonial Calabar division, and colonial Ogoja division. Rivers State was also created. Southeastern state and River state became two states for the minorities of the old eastern region, and the majority Igbo of the old eastern region had a state called East Central state. Southeastern state was renamed Cross River state and was later split into Cross River state and Akwa Ibom state. Rivers state was later divided into Rivers state and Bayelsa state. Nigerian Civil War The people of the Eastern reigion sustained heavy suffering and many deaths during the 1967-1970 Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War, in which the eastern region declared an independent state named Biafra in that was eventually not defeated but reemeged as one Nigeria as it was before the war. The loss of lives began when Nigerian soldiers invaded the now South South at the start of the war; majority of the South South community leaders were eliminated, as the region was mainly on the side of the Biafran Government. The entire South East and South South became a major war zone as the Nigerian Army fought with the help of hired foreign mercenaries and pushed the loyal and die-hard Biafran soldiers out of this Biafra region and deep into the Biafran Capital, leading to the end of the war. Over three million Biafrans died during the war, with present-day Akwa Ibom State, Bayelsa State, Abia State, Imo State, Anambra State, Enugu State, Ebonyi State and Delta State sustaining most of the heavy casualties, and Rivers State and Cross River State also severely affected. Many children and adults died due to starvation and disease, and as casualties of war.

Nigeria: Pro-Biafrans condemn DSS for Abia mass grave link amid fears of reprisal killings By Ludovica Iaccino April 12, 2016 12:15 BST Pro-Biafran activists in Nigeria have condemned the Department of State Service (DSS) for linking them to an alleged mass grave recently discovered in the country's south-east. The DSS accused people from the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) movement of being behind the murder of five people believed to have been discovered in a mass grave containing a total of 55 bodies. Pro-Biafrans demand the independence of Biafran territories forcibly annexed to Nigeria during British colonisation, which ended in 1960. They denied the allegations and accused the Nigerian government of labelling the movement as violent in order to smear its reputation and undermine its quest for independence. Why advertise with us In a statement seen by IBTimes UK, Ipob accused the Nigerian government of implementing strategies to "quell the rising profile of Ipob and the growing resoluteness of Biafrans". The statement reads: "The Gestapo- DSS have realized that they are on the losing side of the legal proceedings that they initiated against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu , the leader of Ipob. "They have rather resorted to concocting stories of abduction and killing and have subtly introduced the word 'Terrorism' so that they will hopefully make it stick on Ipob and then get [President Muhammadu] Buhari to proclaim Ipob a violent and terrorist organization." Why advertise with us The mass grave was allegedly discovered in a forest in Abia state, part of the contested Biafran territories. The DSS alleged Ipob played a "heinous role" in the abduction and assassination of five people, belonging to the Hausa-Fulani ethnic groups, who inhabit northern Nigeria. "Arrests and investigation conducted so far revealed that elements within the Ipob carried out this dastardly action," the DSS statement said. "Following this act, tension is currently rife among communal stakeholders in the state with possibilities of spill-over to other parts of country. It is pertinent, therefore, to alert the general public that Ipob is gradually showing its true divisive colour and objectives." Why advertise with us An Ipob member, who spoke to IBTimes UK on conditions of anonymity, accused the Nigerian media of colluding with the government. He said: "The situation of false stories, hype and upset keeps running on a loop, people are very tired of the divides it causes in all communities. For this very reason Ipob has set up their own medias such as Family Writers. All Ipob are pursuing is good order and justice, through the proper judicial system, plus the release of Nnamdi Kanu in a lawful way." Fears of reprisal killings Some fear the DSS accusations could spark reprisal killings of southerners who live in Nigeria's north, where Fulani militants have been killing hundreds of people in the past few months. Ipob said the DSS claims could spark "genocidal killing of Biafrans" in the Arewa nation, northern Nigeria. The Abia State Government rejected the report of the mass grave claiming security officials in the state never confirmed the alleged discovery. Blaming the media for divulging such reports, the government also warned it could spark ethnic violence across the country, the Daily Post said. Ikechukwu Okoye, Ipob coordinator for the Anambra state, alleged Fulani herdsmen routinely target pro-Biafrans. He told IBTimes UK: "The so-called called Fulani herdsmen have been on a rampage, targeting only our people. "All the way from Agatu in Benue State to Bonny in Rivers State, our people are losing family members to this Fulani herdsmen and the DSS has never for one day condemned them for their act. The expression of fear of reprisal killing, by my people, is only natural."

CAPITAL NO, YOU PEOPLE "YORUBA" ARE BACK STABERS.......

Biafra: Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari faces criticism for backing Western Sahara By Ludovica Iaccino April 2, 2016 08:00 BST Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari is facing mounting criticism by pro-Biafran secessionist groups over his support for the independence fight of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) in Western Sahara. Pro-Biafrans demand the independence of Biafran territories forcibly annexed to Nigeria during British colonisation, which ended in 1960. Supporters of the breakaway were angered after Buhari said, in March, that Nigeria would help ensure independence and self-determination for people in Western Sahara. SADR's fight for independence In 1958, Spain merged the colonised districts of Saguia el-Hamra and Río de Or to form Spanish Sahara, modern-day Western Sahara. Spain faced a tribal uprising by the indigenous Sahrawi people, which culminated in the creation of the Polisario Front rebel movement in 1973. Spain controlled Spanish Sahara until 1975 when it signed, together with Morocco and Mauritania, the Madrid Agreement, which aimed to end Spanish rule in the territory. According to the agreement, which has not been recognised by the United Nations, Morocco took over Saguia El Hamra while Mauritania took control of Rio De Oro. Originally created to fight against Spanish colonisation, the Polisario Front then waged a war against Mauritania and Morocco and, in 1976, created SADR, a partially recognised state that controls a strip of land in Western Sahara. SADR demands sovereignity of the whole country, In 1976 Mauritania withdrew from the territories and the armed conflict continued between the Polisario Front and Morocco until 1991, when both parties reached a ceasefire. In 2005, a new wave of unrest dubbed "Independence Intifada" rocked the Moroccan-controlled areas of Western Sahara. Series of deadly protests also erupted in 2010 and 2011. Today, SADR controls between 20 and 25% of Western Sahara amid international efforts to promote a peace process in the country. Why advertise with us A Biafran Republic was established in 1967 and re-annexed to Nigeria in 1970, following a civil war that claimed between one and three million lives. Pro-Biafrans, who are routinely holding demonstrations across south-eastern Nigeria calling for independence and the realease of one of their leaders, Nnamdi Kanu, accused the president of being a hypocrite . Wrong comparison Why advertise with us Following mounting criticism, presidential media aide Garba Shehu told the New Telegraph that a comparison between Western Sahara and Biafra was wrong. "For anybody to make a comparison between Western Sahara and Biafra, that is a display of knowledge deficit in international politics. One, Western Sahara is a classic case of decolonisation. It is the last remaining colony on the African continent and we all owe it a duty to ourselves to liberate Western Sahara," he said. Why advertise with us "In fact, as military Head of State, President Buhari was the first to recognise Western Sahara and then the rest of Africa followed. So, he is being consistent. But Biafra is for the dismemberment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which is already a settled entity. These two scenarios are clearly different." Shehu also added that those who support the secession of Biafra "have not read Nigeria's history" and the issue has already been settled. Allegations of violence The Nigerian government has always maintained that Nigeria's unity is a priority for the country and that, although peaceful pro- Biafran protests are welcome, demanding the breakaway of the Biafran territories is against the constitution. Pro-Biafran activists often claim Nigerian army and police open fire on "unarmed" and "peaceful" protesters. Amnesty International confirmed to IBTimes UK that Nigerian security forces had used excessive force against pro- Biafran protesters on some occasions but the army and police have denied allegations of violence .
