Wetin una dey wait for?

The apex Igbo organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has called on the Federal Government to urgently release Nnamdi Kanu, the Director of Radio Biafra.
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has been in the detention of the Department of State Security, since his arrest in October.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo arrived at the decision to demand for his release, on Sunday, after an Imeobi (highest decision organ) meeting in Enugu.
The directive was contained in a communique jointly signed by the National President of Ohanaeze, Chief Gary Enwo-Igariwey and the Secretary General, Dr. Joe Nworgu.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex socio-cultural organization of Ndigbo in Nigeria and the Diaspora, is gravely concerned by current wide-spread and public Biafra agitations in states of the South-East and some other states of Nigeria.
“These agitations and public protests have become exacerbated by the detention of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, the promoter/proprietor/director of Radio Biafra by Department of State Services, DSS.”
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo fears that these developments may threaten the security and peaceful co-existence of Nigerians wherever they may be domiciled, and consequently, decided to summon an emergency meeting of Imeobi Ohanaeze Ndigbo to discuss the situation.
“This emergency meeting was held in Enugu at the National Secretariat of Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Sunday, (yesterday), November 29, 2015. Representatives of the various organizations and associations involved in the current public protest also attended the meeting.
“The Imeobi Ohanaeze Ndigbo, after extensive candid discussions and analysis of the situation is of the view that the current agitations are the direct result of the excruciating pain of severe injustice, marginalization and exclusion of Ndigbo from decision making structures in Nigeria as currently configured.
“The Imeobi Ohanaeze Ndigbo strongly avers that the exclusion of Ndigbo in decision making structure presents danger to the unity and well-being of the country, not only now, but also in future, and should be redressed urgently.

All we are saying, give us BIAFRA.

If you people want Biafra, remember that the country of the kingdom of western Nigeria will close the border at asaba and bomadi inline with the law.. So don't back on us for food. You young people have never farm in your life..

Farming is a hard job.. you know what they call tabolo. Small fly will eat your skin. There cant be Biafra.. Next thing, you will say, I am against the Igbo people. No..

I love Ojukwu, but NO food. During Ojukwu time, the population was just 5million.. 1 million die.

with 30 million people.. No food.. Let the north feed you. I am given you a Godly advice .
if you know how to feed 30 million people, yes.. I want Biafra , but if you don't know how to feed 30 million.. NO Biafra.

If you can show me, how you will feed 30 million.. Biafra will be freed by tomorrow... but if you cant show me, how you want to feed the people.. I have my doubt about Biafra..

Kanu issue is more of a small issue.. It is something I can make them release kanu, by asking calling to ask them to release him.. he was arrested because there is no food in Biafra, not because of Biafra radio..

no food to feed 30 million people that why he was arrested.. the people who most have arrested him are likely Igbo people.. because there is no food.. [/size]

Primary school no dey for your area?

No going back, BIAFRA has come to stay.

A group of Nigerians and Americans has criticised the US for ignoring the increasing tension in southeastern Nigeria. Demonstrators gathered outside the US embassy in Abuja this week to urge Barack Obama and the Nigerian government to strengthen democratic institutions in the West African nation and address the issue of pro-Biafran calls for independence.
The protest, organised by umbrella organisation 33 International, came as a wave of rallies by pro-Biafrans is rocking the country’s south-east and south-south. Pro-Biafrans are calling for the independence of territories that constituted the Biafran Republic, established in 1967 and re-annexed to Nigeria in 1970, following a civil war that claimed between one and three million lives.
Supporters of the Biafra cause hold regular marches − which they call “evangelisation” − across several states in southern Nigeria, mainly inhabited by the Igbo ethnic group. Protests have intensified in the past few days in Nigeria and other states after Biafran leader Nnamdi Kanu was apprehended in Lagos in October.
Some Nigerians said they were concerned about the ongoing pro-Biafra protests while the Nigerian police toldIBTimes UKthat pro-Biafrans act in a violent manner during their rallies, which disrupt peace in the country.
Public relations officer for the police in Anambra state, Oleehkukyu Ali, also said the police have nothing against pro-Biafran groups as long as they behave in a peaceful way.
“Our country provides freedom of association, speech and movement,” he said. “But groups have to behave peacefully. Police in Anambra are operating a very open policy and leaders of groups should engage with us and let us know what they are doing so we are aware of protests.”
On the other side, pro-Biafrans claims they are holding peaceful demonstrations and blame the police for any violence that occurs. Police have denied these claims, but Amnesty International said in an exclusive report byIBTimes UKthere was “credible evidence that pro-Biafran separatists in Nigeria are targeted by police”.
Below are some extracts of a letter addressed to Obama that 33 International handed in at the US embassy;
Nigeria up close:Check out our Flipboard magazine
We, of Nigerian American descent, Nigerians, and Americans living in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, are very concerned about the disturbing silence of President Barack Obama and the United States Government to the current pro-Biafra protests sweeping through South-East and South-South Nigeria.
The matter is especially disturbing because over three people have been confirmed dead from stray bullets by Nigerian soldiers during the peaceful protests that have seen as much as 10,000 youths storm the streets of Port Harcourt.
What started as an arrest of a single man, Nnamdi Kanu, by the Directorate of State Security (DSS) has turned into a situation that is without a doubt a bomb waiting to detonate, and will cause massive unrest in Nigeria as more protests are being staged around the country, and the Nigerian government has shown no signs of actions to quell the crisis whatsoever.
It is with a heavy heart that we remind President Barack Obama and the United States government that these same “Biafra” sentiments now intoxicating the jobless and irritated mostly “IGBO” youths to a frenzy on the streets of Imo, Owerri, Enugu, Asaba and Port- Harcourt led to one of the most devastating wars in Nigeria’s history: the Biafran war, which caused the alarming loss of up to three million lives.
We also want to remind President Obama of the dangerous connection of the “Biafra territory” to the Niger Delta which is currently suffering a re-surge in violence as a result of the chronic poverty and catastrophic oil pollution which fuelled the earlier Niger-Delta conflicts and have remained largely unsolved.
Recent threats by Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Sadiq Abubakar to crush the pro-Biafra protesters with military action, violence is most assuredly not the solution and will quickly escalate the crisis.
We urge President Barack Obama and the United States government to implore on the Nigerian military that military brutalization and human rights abuse by the Nigerian security agencies is not the way to go. The right to peaceful protest is an integral part of a democratic society, which both the U.S and Nigeria have fought tirelessly to ensure Nigeria rightfully becomes.
Corruption is without a doubt, the biggest impediment to growth in Africa as President Obama and several key United States officials have reiterated several times. This is why we are highly disappointed that President Barack Obama and the United States government have decided to turn a blind eye to the fact that both APC candidates in the upcoming Kogi and Bayelsa state governorship elections have been indicted by Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency, the EFCC for monumental corruption charges running into billions of Naira.
In a democratic society, we believe it’s not too much to ask that candidates who want to run for sensitive positions such as Governorship positions, at least clear all current criminal charges against them before the government allows they take roles of leadership.
We call on President Barack Obama to remember his position and the mantle of global leadership that comes with the office he occupies, and hence act swiftly on this matter.
We call on President Obama to create a special commission to intervene in the Pro-Biafra upheavals and also implore on the Nigerian government the immense dangers of putting men with huge corruption charges worth billions of Naira as the governors of state if Nigeria wants to ever be free from the corruption that has ravaged it to become the skeleton it is today.
We Nigerian Americans, Nigerians, and Americans in Nigeria believe this is the right time for President Barack Obama and the United States government to act before the situation gets out of control.

Experts fear that the movement led by Igbo secessionist Nnamdi Kanu could incite conflict and terrorism
By Rafiu Ajakaye
Lagos, Nigeria – The arrest of secessionist Biafra activist Nnamdi Kanu on Oct. 19 has been followed by a wave of popular agitation in the southeastern region of Nigeria, which is largely populated by the Igbo tribe.
Since the beginning of November, thousands of members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have shut down markets in the Aba, Abia State, following a three-day protest march on Nov. 6.
Demonstrators called for the release of Kanu, whose broadcasts on his pirate Radio Biafra have rallied members of the Igbo tribe in southeastern Nigeria.
Ryan Cummings, chief Africa analyst for Red24, a crisis management assistance firm, told Anadolu Agency on Monday that the agitation could well go out of control if the country does not handle it properly and within legal boundaries.
Long identified as a security threat by the Nigerian state, secessionist Biafra activist Nnamdi Kanu was picked up by the secret police on October 19 on his arrival from the U.K. Security agents are holding him for alleged offenses ranging from sedition, running of an illegal radio station, ethnic incitement and treasonable felony. If found guilty, Kanu risks the maximum penalty of a death sentence or a long jail term.
The 48-year old Kanu spearheads the movement to rally the country’s ethnic Igbo people to the idea of a separate Biafra republic, a reawakening of the secessionist bid that was crushed in the country’s 30-month civil war of 1967.
But much more alarming is his sanctioning violence against ethnic Hausa Fulani people and to an extent the Yoruba. He posits that both tribes conspire to put down the Igbo people.
Although Kanu had been granted bail, the government says he has yet to fulfill the conditions for release. He remains in detention.
Analysts say mass unemployment, poverty and perceived injustice and political alienation of the Igbo from political power in Nigeria have helped to build an army of supporters for Kanu and his ideas.
The Nigerian army last week issued a reviewed rule of engagement in which it threatened a crackdown on any activities that target stability in the country. It also warned officers against siding with the secessionists.
Cummings said that the Igbo agitation could turn into terrorist violence of the type perpetrated by the savage Boko Haram group.
“There are indeed parallels which can be drawn here,” Cummings said.
“The attempts to silence Kanu would seem to be outside the rule of law. This will only deepen anti-government sentiment among his support base and could have violent ramifications for a part of Nigeria which is still healing from the Biafran civil war,” he warned.
Kanu has indeed said that he would achieve independence for Biafra even if it meant going to war.
He was once caught soliciting for weapons to prosecute his struggle. For much of this year, Kanu has been traveling around the world galvanizing support for Biafran agitation.
Last year however, he supported the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party ahead of 2015 general election. He campaigned for then incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan, a Christian from the south, against opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari, a Hausa Fulani Muslim from the northern region.
The relationship between Nigeria and IPOB officially went sour after the election of Buhari this year. Kanu started using his Radio Biafra to broadcast hate messages against the government of Buhari and to incite violence against other tribes.
The Biafran conflict was the result of two military coups, the first January 15, 1966, which ousted the country’s first civilian leaders, and installed a pro-Igbo regime. In July 1966, a counter coup led by northern military officers ousted the Igbo group and killed top Igbo officers. This was followed by a pogrom against the Igbo.
On May 30, 1967, Igbo army officer Emeka Ojukwu declared the landmass comprising the entire old Eastern Region independent of Nigeria. The Nigerian state almost immediately declared war against the region in which 2 million Igbo died.
The war came to an end on January 15, 1970 after the Biafran troops conceded defeat.
Since the return of the Nigerian democracy in 1999, no Igbo has been elected president. No Igbo has held strategic military positions like the chief of army staff until Jonathan picked Lt Gen Azubuike Ihejirika as the army chief in 2012.
To be sure, in the current Buhari government, a number of Igbo politicians have now been appointed into key ministerial positions. But frustration from perceived disenfranchisement still abounds in the southeast.
Kanu’s secessionist movement seems to have benefited from this frustration. While a large segment of the Igbo community appears lukewarm to the latest agitation, Kanu seems to have gained a good following across the region – at least as confirmed by the size of the protest.
Perreregno Brimah, a public affairs commentator, told Anadolu Agency on Friday that Kanu is a dangerous political activist whose antics he said threaten public peace.
While Brimah concedes that Nigeria had mismanaged the Boko Haram crisis, he does not think that Kanu’s IPOB should be tolerated.
“While people may think that, because in the past terrorism arose when we clamped down on agitation, I am not of this opinion,” he said.
Asking not to be named, a top security analyst and publisher of Nigeria’s most respected blog on security and military matters, BeegEaglesblog, told Anadolu Agency: “What is worrisome about these protests is the fervor and refusal to back down on the part of the agitators. This had not not been characteristic of pro-Biafra agitations until now,” he said.
“The likelihood that the Southeast in particular could become a theatre of armed conflict in the not-too-distant future has never seemed so imminent since the end of the Nigerian Civil War in 1970,” he added.
But the security analyst said Nigeria cannot afford another insurgency at the moment, citing the Boko Haram crisis, ongoing containment of the militants in the oil rich Niger delta, and a struggling economy.
“It might be expedient for Nigeria to seek non-coercive measures aimed at defusing the tense situation engendered by the agitation of the IPOB across parts of the Southeast and Niger Delta,” according to the analyst.
