Politics / Yoruba Youths Storm US Embassy Over IPOB Suit Against Army by Trut(m): 5:08pm On Jul 13, 2017
The National Committee of Yoruba Youth (NCYY) and the Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria yesterday protested to the United State Embassy in Lagos over a lawsuit filed against the leadership of the Nigerian Army.

The suit was reportedly filed by one John Doe under the Torture Victims Protection Act and Alien Tort Claims Act Complaint, before a United States (U.S.) District Court for the District of Columbia for a leave on behalf of 10 Biafran agitators to sue the Chief of Army Staff, General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, and 13 others for alleged complicity in the 2016 torture and extra-judicial killings of the members Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

However, the coalition comprising over 40 civil society organizations (CSOs) kicked against the suit which they said was intended to demoralize officers and men of the army including its leadership whom they said have been committed to protecting lives and properties of Nigerians.

In a petition addressed to the Secretary of State, United State of America (USA) through the US Embassy in Lagos, they called on the government of the US to ignore the suit which they described as misplaced and deliberate act of witch-hunt of the Army leadership.

The petition was signed by Comrade Odeyemi Oladimeji, Peace Ambassador, African First Ladies Peace Mission and Barrister John Atani, National Secretary, Coalition of Civil Society Groups Against Terrorism in Nigeria on behalf of other CSOs.

They informed the US government that IPOB had, by its various activities, "become a major opposition to the Nigerian State, particularly to our National Security and by extension to all of our security agencies."

According to them, the claim by those behind the suit "is not only far from the truth, but also comical in all ramifications and laughable".

Their accusation of extra-judicial killing against the army, the group said, "reveals the disturbing realities of the deeper import of their agitation, that is, to destabilize and balkanize, Nigeria, and erroneously depict Nigerians as people with identity crisis."

"However, Nigerians are nothing of the sort. Rather, it is this group that has totally lost touch with the reality of who they are in the progression of a peaceful, united and committed Nigerian Polity", the petition reads.

The CSOs insisted that the uppermost intention of those behind this suit was to make money off the case, because according to them, the group is now starved of funds.

Stating that the Nigerian Army has the "enormous support" of the Nigerian people at all times, going by the commitment of men and officers, towards protecting and safeguarding the country's territorial integrity, they called on the US government to support peace building efforts in the country.

The coalition also hailed the commitment of Donald Trump’s administration in the US to rid the world of terrorism.

They added: "And as such we are very much convinced that your good office will see the actions of the IPOB as just a cleverly devised plot to curry undue favours from the most benevolent nation on earth, the United State of America (USA)".

Politics / Re: Nnamdi Kanu Is Not An Igbo Leader, He Should Cool Down - Archbishop Chukwuma by Trut(m): 2:32pm On Jul 10, 2017
The same cleric that follows Enugu politicians around like He-Goat that follows She-Goat around in other to blow NYASH, the same cleric that said Biafrans should ignore the Sit-At-Home in Honour our Biafra Heroes.

Bishop Chukwuma and his like should mind their business, Nnamdi is IPOB (a freedom movement) leader, not Igbo leader. Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB in diaspora have never called Nnamdi KANU is Igbo leader.

Nnamdi KANU and IPOB are calling for REFERENDUM, not WAR.

By Rudolf Ogoo Okonkwo

Just before you say Biafra, know and remember that the ideals of Nigeria have not been tried and found wanting. Instead, they have been found difficult and left untried.

Remember that Nigeria is a failed state that works for those who failed it. And these people who failed Nigeria can be found across every ethnic group in the country – and so are the casualties of this failed state.

Remember that Olusegun Obasanjo, who should have known better, failed to reform Nigeria structurally and permanently and as such set the stage for the failure of other leaders that followed.

Remember that the APC with its intellectual base in the South West again missed an opportunity to restructure Nigeria, so set the stage for many more wasted years of a nation in limbo.

Remember that Igbo people are better off in a united Nigeria that is working for all the people.

Remember that Nigerians of all ethnicities are losing patience with this failed state. Unfortunately, the people who failed Nigeria are lost in their own world, totally unaware of an impending revolt.

Remember that some Igbo youths, aware of Igbo’s chequered history with Nigeria, have run out of patience. They have pivoted to the only default position known to them – Biafra. They are in the driving seat of the search for a new Biafra. Whether you support them or not, they are driving and a part of you is on the bus.

Remember that there is danger in misunderstanding the outcome of the stay-at-home order carried out on May 30th across the South-East and South-South.

Remember that some people stayed at home because they agree with IPOB and MASSOB and other Biafran groups. Some others stayed at home out of fear of IPOB, MASSOB and other Biafran groups. Some stayed at home out of fear of the Nigerian police and other security agencies. And many more stayed at home in remembrance of their loved ones who died in the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War of 1967 – 1970.

Remember that any single interpretation of what happened on the 30th of May is not just false, it is also dangerous. The same way it is dangerous to allow some fantasies being peddled by some pro-Biafran groups about the imminent arrival of Biafra. For instance, the one that said that the U.S. President, Donald Trump, is going to approve Biafra’s Independence and hand the paper over to Nigeria for implementation. In fact, Trump just did the opposite - he just sold arms to Nigeria. Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to how the arms would be used should war ensue.

Having said all these and knowing that nothing that anyone writes here would deter those determined to fight for “Biafra now now”, here are seven simple steps to get your state of Biafra without firing a single shot. These steps are not dependent on what Nigeria does. Their implementations are solely in the hands of the Igbo. If 100% of Igbo people who stayed home on the 30th wanted Biafra, they can implements these steps easily and in 5 to 10 years Biafra would be theirs.

1.Form a political party with self-determination and self-rule for Igbo people as a platform. United Progressive Party(UPP) may already be positioning itself to be that kind of a party.

2.Elect majority of the region’s local and state government officials from that party. This will solve the problem of who is supporting Biafra and who is not amongst the ethnic minorities around the Igbo area.

3.Have two-third of elected officials sent to Abuja elected from that political party. You will be sending a clear message across Nigeria and the world, and the agenda of these officials in Abuja will not be ambiguous.

4.Once two-third of all elected Igbo officials are from this political party with a platform that says self-governance and self-determination, a pseudo- referendum would have taken place.

5.The party can demand a regional parliament in Enugu to govern themselves, similar to what happened in Scotland and Quebec. At this point, the government in Abuja will concede to demands to devolve power from the center as they do everything to delay the inevitable.

6.After a few years of regional governance, if so desired, then demand a formal referendum from Nigeria. A referendum to leave Nigeria can take place in 6-8 years time.

7.If the referendum passes, Biafra can be a state of its own.

Of course, there are other permutations and combinations that could give birth to Biafra. But those paths are lined with tears, blood, anguish and death.
