In a statement issued on April 5, 2026, signed by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB said the incidents cited by American missionary Alex Babir in a viral video reflected what the group described as long-standing predictions made by Kanu before his arrest in 2021.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has claimed that recent coordinated attacks across several Nigerian states vindicate warnings by its imprisoned leader, Nnamdi Kanu, while demanding his immediate and unconditional release.

In a statement issued on April 5, 2026, signed by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB said the incidents cited by American missionary Alex Babir in a viral video reflected what the group described as long-standing predictions made by Kanu before his arrest in 2021.

Powerful alleged that the attacks were coordinated and not the result of farmer-herder clashes or banditry, insisting that the situation represented “a deliberate, ideologically driven expansionist agenda.” He claimed that Kanu had, for over a decade, warned about such developments during broadcasts and public statements.

According to the statement, IPOB maintained that Kanu’s warnings were ignored by political authorities, alleging that efforts were instead made to silence him.

The group reiterated its claim that Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021 and subsequent detention were aimed at stopping him from speaking about the security situation.

IPOB further alleged that despite a 2022 court ruling discharging Kanu, the Nigerian government continued to hold him in custody. The group argued that his imprisonment had prevented him from contributing to discussions on insecurity and claimed that his release would help address the situation.

"For more than ten years, from Radio Biafra broadcasts to public statements across the globe, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu stood alone and thundered the truth: This is not “farmer-herder clashes.” This is not “banditry.” This is not “resource conflict.”

"This is a deliberate, ruthless, ideologically driven Islamic expansionist jihad — a full-scale war of conquest to Islamise Nigeria, eliminate indigenous populations, and impose caliphate dominance from Sokoto to the South. He named it. He dated it. He mapped it,” Powerful stated.

“He called out the Fulani supporter of APC militias as the vanguard of this jihad, the same forces now confirmed by independent eyewitnesses like Alex Babir attacking in coordinated waves across Kwara, Ogun, Plateau, Barkin Ladi, Bokkos, Niger, and beyond.”

The statement also called on the international community, including foreign governments and intelligence agencies, to take notice of what it described as coordinated violence across parts of Nigeria. IPOB insisted that the attacks were not isolated incidents but part of a broader pattern.

Powerful said, “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released immediately and unconditionally. His prophecies have been vindicated,” adding that the group believed his continued detention undermined efforts to address the security challenges.

"The sooner the world wakes up to this reality, the better for the survival of humanity in Nigeria. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released immediately and unconditionally. His prophecies have been vindicated in blood. The cage in Sokoto cannot contain the truth forever. Biafra is awake. The caliphate project stands exposed."

The organisation concluded by urging global stakeholders to intervene, maintaining that the situation required urgent attention and reiterating its demand for Kanu’s release

"History will not be kind to those who watched this genocide unfold and chose complicity. The blood of the slain cries out from the ground. We demand justice. We demand his freedom. We demand the world stop pretending this is anything other than what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said it was — a religious war of total domination,” he said.

"The earth is shaking. The truth is out. There is no hiding place left for the butchers or their enablers."

I came across the thread "Artemis II Flies Around The Moon" featured in the home page of this website.... It is pathetic to see Nigerians excited over another space scam mission sponsored by NASA to deceive them.... Many people are so indoctrinated into NASA space nonsense to believe that the earth is a "Globe" when it's not.... For those still in doubt over the recent NASA's fake fraudulent Artemis moon mission, you can watch the video below.... Eric exposes NASA's fakery as he makes a strong argument yet again why people need to ask critical questions over this government backed fraudulent international space exploration conspiracy.....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lEr8kb9u84

On April Fool’s Day, NASA officially launched their Artemis II rocket claiming to take humans back to the Moon in 2026. Going “back to the Moon,” however, would require us having actually gone there before, which myself and many other researchers have debunked beyond any shadow of a doubt in several previous videos, showing that the original NASA Moon landings were faked in a studio on Earth. So, now, over 50 years later, with half a century of technological developments, Artemis II isn’t even claiming to land on the Moon like Apollo, but merely flying by...

I've on several occasions and through several threads on this platform, told Nigerians not to waste their energy on 2027 election as it is a useless unproductive exercise under Tinubu and his APC government. As it stands, only a revolution that will lead to a total decentralization or disintegration of the country can liberate Nigerians from the retrogressive contraption and it's evil bad leaders.....

Prominent legal scholar Professor Chidi Odinkalu has alleged that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Joash Amupitan, signed a resignation letter before taking office as a condition of his appointment — and that the threat of releasing it was used to pressure him into withdrawing recognition from the David Mark-led National Working Committee of the African Democratic Congress.

“I have it on the most impeccable authority that there is a pre-signed resignation letter by Chairman Amupitan,” Odinkalu wrote on X on Wednesday night. “It was a precondition for his appointment. Ultimately, that had to be called in aid by those who persuaded him to issue this release. The threat of releasing it did the magic.”

The allegation directly links INEC’s intervention in the ADC leadership dispute to what Odinkalu describes as a leverage arrangement that compromised the commission’s independence from the outset.

The 60-hour window
Odinkalu also noted that INEC’s decision came roughly 60 hours after senior officials of the commission held meetings with the Presidency, justices of the Court of Appeal, and the Federal High Court — a sequence of events he said was not coincidental.

He further criticised the commission for interpreting a Court of Appeal judgment rather than referring it back to the judiciary for clarification. “It is not the business of INEC to interpret the decision of the Court of Appeal,” he said. “If they had any doubt, an INEC governed by good faith should have gone back to the Court of Appeal to secure an interpretation of the decision.”

A warning about 2027
Beyond the immediate controversy, Odinkalu warned of what he described as a coordinated effort involving INEC, elements within the judiciary, and the ruling All Progressives Congress to limit political competition ahead of the 2027 general elections. He alleged that the only opposition platform likely to be permitted alongside the incumbent would be the Peoples Democratic Party, which he linked to the political influence of Nyesom Wike.

“That will not be much of an election,” he said, warning that the credibility of Nigeria’s electoral process — and the stability of the country — could be at serious risk if the allegations prove true.

I know you are a staunch APC supporter. Note that I didn't make this post to attack ADC but to call out Peter Obi's disingenuous remarks.....

yarimo:
You can't just appoint yourself from your bedroom in a party you were never it member, David mark and co think they are above the law

I don't know why you keep quoting me, I asked that we wait till after 2027 election and see if all I said is true..... Regarding what you said about voting, I don't support 2027 election because I believe what Nigerians need is a national referendum on the country's unity and not an election to install another pretentious corrupt politician as president. I've already told you this before yet you keep going round in circles.... You keep playing to the gallery even when you know the truth, Nigeria is a British creation, a contraption that has glaringly outlived its usefulness......

budaatum:
You are going to come and tell me that Tinubu won in 2027?

Of course he will win! People like you are being too reticent to get off your ass and vote him out. So what should we expect apart from Tinubu winning?

Like I said, Tinubu's party will win again in 2031, and 2035 and 2039 and 2043 and will continue to win until you wake up and have had enough and decide to get off your ass and vote his party out. And until then, all I expect to hear from you is you wailing that Tinubu is taking food off your table and is putting in his own belly.

Do you believe that Peter Obi is in ADC to convert Atiku, Malami, El-Rufai, Amaechi and others?

Odin13:
Gibberish and trashy trash

Your god tinubu is roaming mad , and jailing all opposition.
So what’s he waiting for on Obi?

The coward is truly shaking with his 30 governors and power over the very corrupt Obi

Tinubu the Yoruba god is quaking

Oya bots ban me

I am only making my opinion, I've nothing to complain about Nigeria that is not self-evident.... All we have discussed here regarding 2027 election will be put to the test overtime.... We may continue the conversation hopefully after 2027 election.... Thanks

budaatum:
You can exercise your consent or not for whatever and as much as you desire. It is of course unfortunate for you that no serious politician is campaigning against Nigeria's unity, but you can always become a politician yourself with a manifesto of disunity.

Just know that your antivote stance is what guarantees Tinubu's "massive victory" in 2027, since you refuse to vote him out. And INEC does not need to sabotage or compromise any result because you compromise and sabotage the process yourself by not bothering to vote!

Also note that you are the one complaining on social media here. And in my own opinion, you are the root cause for not participating in democracy and voting.

I do not support the APC party or any of the mainstream politicians.. I am simply calling out Peter Obi's hypocrisy as his followers deserve better.... I've not at any time advocated for any politician except Sowore in the upcoming election who I know can't win.... Nigeria under Tinubu is a captured state.... I do not know how you and many others can't see that 2027 election is a done deal for Tinubu. Except a revolution happens, nothing will stop APC from retaining power in 2027.....

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Apc have more people worse than ADC and you are supporting them,how do you want people to take you serious

I came across an interesting thread titled "Obi: Why I’ll Work With Malami, El-Rufai Despite Corruption Allegations" below is a snippet....

Peter Obi, 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), says he will work with every member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in spite of the corruption allegations against them.

Speaking on Saturday on Magic FM in Aba, Abia state, Obi said getting closer to them offers him an opportunity to change them positively if they are guilty.

Obi cited Jesus Christ in the Bible, whom he said associated with prostitutes and tax collectors while on earth, to change them positively.

“When Jesus came here, his friends were tax collectors and prostitutes because it’s all part of what he was trying to change. It was all part of what he was trying to build as a person,” Obi said.

How can Peter Obi's supporters accept such a funny cheap lie from him and still believe that he is not as corrupt as other politicians in his party....? Anyone still in doubt should take sometime to analyze this, how many politicians have Peter Obi converted since he joined ADC that you can point out....? How many of them have voluntarily relinquished the loots they gathered from their previous portfolios as APC/PDP members, senators, governors, vice-president and ministers to the EFCC since they started fraternising with Peter Obi in the ADC? How can anyone believe that Peter Obi will convert northern political looters like Malami, El-Rufai and co who glaringly won't offer him any political support without compromise.... Peter Obi is simply mocking the Bible and his supporters by describing his relationship with these hardened deeply corrupt power hungry politicians to be similar to that of Jesus, tax collectors and prostitutes, making such a false statement to cover his true motive for joining the ADC only shows his desperation.

IMHO, Peter Obi's true motives for joining the ADC party was not to convert any politician but to become the party's consensus candidate and win the 2027 election leveraging the strong grass root political structures of popular northern politicians within the party like Atiku and Kwankwaso. I do not believe that the ADC will offer anything exceptional to Nigerians with characters like Malami, Atiku, Amaechi and other APC former members that constitute the party.... If Peter Obi succeeds in becoming the party flag bearer and somehow miraculously wins the next election, there is no way his government will fight corruption or curtail looting because he must repay corrupt selfish power hungry ADC politicians with juicy positions, he must replenish their looting purse used in funding his campaign, he must compromise his government to uphold the party's selfish corrupt interests. This is why instead of Nigerians participating in another rigged elections in 2027, voting for a pretentious Peter Obi or any other mainstream corrupt politicians in the upcoming election to continue the status quo, Nigerians will be better off pushing for a reset through a national referendum towards decentralization or disintegration of the country....

As long as indigenous people can't exercise their consent over Nigeria's unity, you've no real democracy in Nigeria.... I will not argue with you any futher because it is only a matter of months between now and 2027..... You are going to face the same electoral sabotage issues from other Nigerians similar to 2023 once you vote due to lack of patriotism and national unity.... By the time INEC releases compromised election results, Nigerians like you who know better but choose to pretend not to know the root cause of their national issues will once again act surprised, complain on social media while Tinubu and his APC party rejoice over their massive victory.... There is nothing to gain from doing the same thing and expecting a different result....

budaatum:
I think that's the difference between us. Unlike you, I am not hopeless under any government because I do not rely on government for my food. I make my own progress sustainable by the sweat of my own brow.

Nigeria is a democracy, albeit imperfect, where Nigerians should push with their vote. And if you are hopeless under Tinubu, that's the more reason to vote him out, I'd have thought. But your antipathy to voting shows you are not hopeless enough for that at the moment, and you've settled for the status quo and just peddle empty meaningless words, which would most definitely guarantee Tinubu a second term and APC a fifth and sixth which might make you hopeless some more.

By then I hope Nigerians actualize and vote en mass or seventh and eight and ninth and tenth will surely follow with the hopelessness it brings to some.

Once a revolution takes place, the people will determine how best to go about organizing a national referendum....

citizenY:
So which instruments are you going to use to get your referendum? Or you have another constitition in your kitty?

You are free to vote if that makes you happy even when you know it's a hopeless exercise under Tinubu's APC government..... IMHO, no sustainable progress can be made until Nigerians push and actualize the decentralization or disintegration of the British contraption called Nigeria.....

budaatum:
Fact is, we have a country regardless. We can either improve what we have or continue working to destroy it.

I prefer improvement, as I do not find it intelligent to be destroying my country and then blame someone else for my own destruction. And that's apart grom the fact that I will suffer first from the destroying I participate in.

But all that is beside the point. Don't vote please. It guarantees politicians who will give you your referendum will never be in power to give it to you.

Hmmmm.... denigrating "elected representatives and constitutional process".... the constitution and all relevant statutory provisions derives it's power and legitimacy from the people..... When all democratic public institutions have been captured, a revolution remains the only viable option for the people...

What do you gain from living in self-denial over a captured lawless country like Nigeria, where what you call constitutional processes are been denigrated on a daily basis? IMO, there is nothing left to denigrate as long as Nigeria is concerned. I hope you will be courageous to interact here after Tinubu through vote buying and systematic rigging is declared the winner in 2027 presidential election....

citizenY:
We are telling you that you can only get your referendum through your elected representatives and constitutional process and you are fixated in your denigration of the same process and institutions. Continue shadow boxing.

I do believe that Nnamdi Kanu's journey is not over..... He will surely regain his freedom, no matter what politicians or Nigeria's government try to do in order to imprison him.... In the end, Nnamdi Kanu's freedom will serve as a testament that no man is above his creator....

esnbrutality:
Release Nnamdi Kanu and even Peter obi can't win.

But with all the insults and mudslinging..from the dunderheads that represent Sunday igboho and others, its best they understand that the SE will only align with those that touch the soul of the SE.

Atiku has said ithat he will release MNK.
Peter obi said he will release MNK.
Kwankwaso said so too.
El. Rufai doesn't have issues with him

All I know is the he will be released.

Elected or self imposed selfish corrupt representatives? What are the structures for a referendum when all arms of government and federal institutions have been captured by Tinubu and his party? If the country was for "all of us" as you may presume then I see no reason why you can't see that only a people backed revolution can bring about a national referendum under these hopeless circumstances.... Except you want to remain in self-denial of your reality, Nigeria's federal government and it's public institutions is gone. 2027 election will bring all that I've discussed here to bare.....

citizenY:
Honestly, l suggest you should stop responding to this fellow. There are proper structures for a referendum in place.. viz... a legislature, a political platform, elections by way of voting, a consittuency.

Whatever he wants, a referendum or even two seats for Nigeria at the Ùnited Nations, can be done through his elected representative. If such is not done, blame him and his representative.

This country is for all of us. Anybody who feels he is running faster should carry on. We go meet you for road when you taya..... and pass you. In short desperados are not welcome.

It is morning yet on creation day for this country. We should be very careful as we proceed. Nation building is an arduous task, not talk talk and mouthing cliches

Why do you still think that you've a normal country under APC? You are free to play Tinubu's game, vote in the next election and see how it goes.. We will continue the conversation when the time comes.... hopefully you will understand better all I've been trying to tell you by then....

budaatum:
We've already seen his reaction, lol.

He does not want us to vote in elections, but wants us to vote in a referendum we need to vote and win an election to get.

Apex lgbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, has declared that leader of indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is an unregistered political party unknown to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

National President of Ohanaeze Youth Council, Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, made the declaration in a statement on Sunday.

Igboayaka noted that it may be too late for President Bola Tinubu to discover and realize that, apart from the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Nnamdi Kanu is the only political figure who can command the bloc votes of Ndigbo.

"MNK is an unregistered political party unknown to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), exercising significant control over old Eastern Nigeria, specifically the Igbo tribe.

“Consequently, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains the current political party for Ndigbo and prevailing political figure in Igboland, whereas groups such as City Boy Movement, Renewed Hope Agenda, and other Bola Ahmed Tinubu-affiliated organizations will merely serve the interests of their leaders, a source of stomach infrastructure to the coordinators and directors in South-East.

"None of their directors or coordinators possess the capability to mobilize Ndigbo to polling units in support of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election will continue to be viewed as a hoax, a hallucination, and a joke in Old Eastern Nigeria until Nnamdi Kanu is released unconditionally from prison,” Igboayaka stated.

The OYC President warned that Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, may not get more than five percent of South-East votes in 2027, if Kanu remains in detention.

"Apparently, political activities will not be as usual in Igboland, and the APC will not exceed 5% of the votes if Nnamdi Kanu remains in detention, making it an astute political maneuver for Bola Ahmed Tinubu to facilitate the release of Ndigbo prior to the completion of primary elections in Nigeria,” he added.

The statement noted that Igbo politicians are on the verge of facing a fierce political storm and tsunami for abandoning Nnamdi Kanu in prison.

“All incumbent political office holders, including House of Assembly members, House of Representatives members, Senators, and Governors seeking re-election, will be compulsorily and democratically retired during the 2027 Ballot Revolution in Igboland,” Igboayaka added.

Hmmmm, Sharon don't waste your anger on my thread.... Channel your pain towards ending the cosmetic retrogressive union called "One Nigeria" that is the root of your challenges and that of so many other Nigerians.....

jahsharon:

Go and do meaningful things with your time and stop wasting away

Checked the link.... I do not see Tinubu conceding in an election he controls except Nigerians fight for a fair election.... I still maintain that Nigerians are better off pushing for a national referendum between now and 2027....

Not just the constitution, Nigeria as an entity is the problem.... There is an urgent need for a National referendum on Nigeria's existence.... I believe the British contraption called one Nigeria that has been a source of anguish and retrogression to all indigenous people may seize to exist in the event of a national referendum.... This is why only a people backed revolution can bring about a national referendum that will end or totally decentralize Nigeria for the people to be free to build a prosperous nation....

How bad will it get before Nigerians wake up.....?

I just watched the videos of recent fulani jihadist attack in Jos that is attached in the thread titled "Photos And Video From Angwan Rukuba, Jos Attack Last Night" ..... As horrific as the videos posted in the thread may be, I am not surprised, I've nothing else to say as regards these killings because Nnamdi Kanu warned Nigerians years ago about all that's happening now..... I will leave a link below to Kanu's message to Nigerians....


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7n5r4Qrd2w

Nigerians will not have peace, Nigerians will continue to face the inevitable disastrous consequences of upholding a fake unity called "one Nigeria" unless the country is totally decentralized or disintegrated through a people backed revolution.....

IMHO, only Nigerians can save themselves....

Leboska:
Anything humanly possible we must do to rescue ourselves from such disgraceful regime

I will keep this short.... Nigerians, you will be stupid to think you are still living in a democratic state, you will be foolish to think that your vote in the next presidential election will somehow count to remove Tinubu and his APC government after seeing the massive defections, unconstitutional overreach and sychophantic loyalty he enjoys from other arms of government. As it stands, there is nothing left as long as Nigeria is concerned because Tinubu has succeeded in destroying not just Nigeria's economy but whatever is left of the country's democracy and unity. The greedy corrupt APC government is only interested in selling off the country's future through looting massive foreign loans and siphoning trillions of naira through phantom elephant projects..... Many more Nigerians will perish if nothing is done to reverse the economic doom, pervasive security crisis that awaits the nation over Tinubu's greed and ineptitude.... There will be little or no hope left by the time he is done destroying what is left of Nigeria in the next 4 years.... If Nigerians want a better future, today is the right time to begin the fight for survival..... No one willl rescue Nigerians unless they rise up to rescue themselves. What is happening now will only get worse if the Nigerian people do not unite to fight for a national referendum to free themselves....

I will once again reiterate, Nigerians hoping for salvation by trying to impeach or vote out this APC federal government in the upcoming 2027 presidential election are only deceiving themselves because Tinubu and his party now owns Nigeria..... Only a national referendum that will bring about a total decentralization or disintegration of the country can save Nigerians....

I do not think it is appropriate to support frivolous claims without evidence, can anyone prove that Sowore an APC mole.....?. I guess the only argument that I can say makes sense is the role he played over Buhari's victory in 2015..... It will be a shame if Sowore is truly on Tinubu's payroll working for the APC against Nigerians.... I am yet to be convinced until I see concrete evidence by the opposition against him....

UniversalDove:
Hes trying to gain enough recognition. He has a long term plan so he is willing to say anything and do anything to remain controversial

Sowore vicious attacks on Peter Obi instead of channeling more of these attacks on Tinubu raises suspicion but is he lying? Are what he says about Peter Obi and ADC not true?

That's your personal opinion, you've no right to dictate what i should talk about. My intention of not voting due to glaring undemocratic anomalies, does not stop me from urging Nigerians to push for a national referendum..... You are entitled to your own opinion as I am entitled to my opinion.... Tinubu had his way by capturing all sensitive institutions and ensuring a favorable electoral reform law, why are you still promoting 2027 election under these circumstances?

mrvitalis:
If you are not voting then you are not allowed to talk about the election sir

Have a nice day

Participating in a Tinubu's well crafted game, what you call 2027 election is a futile exercise as long as all sensitive public institutions have been hijacked and compromise to serve Tinubu's interest.... What did Nigerians do over the exclusion of real-time electronic transmission of election results that would've gone a long way towards ensuring a level playing ground? Nothing!

This is why I do not support any candidate, all well-meaning Nigerians will be better off calling for a national reset through a referendum on Nigeria's unity now instead of waiting till 2027 to validate another rigged election....

mrvitalis:
As a someone planning to vote Peter Obi in the next election
Before I respond to you.. Please can you tell us who you plan to vote for

Above all, I do not think there is any way, Nigerians participating in the upcoming 2027 election can bring about a Omoyele Sowore, Abubakar Atiku, Rotimi Amaechi or Peter Obi presidency because Tinubu and his party are ready, they will do all within their power to ensure this never happens. It is my hope that Nigerians will see the need to push for a national referendum over the country's unity instead of participating in another APC selection ceremony that won't benefit them in any way.....
