IPOB is the most peaceful freedom fighters in the world now.

East will enjoy peaceful Christmas whether enemies of Igbo land like it or not.

Merry Christmas in advance to all Igbos.

The Indigenous People of Biafra has urged Ndigbo in Nigeria and the Diaspora to return home for the Christmas festivities, assuring them of adequate security across the South-East during the Yuletide.

The pro-Biafran group said the South-East remains Nigeria’s “most tranquil” zone and claimed that security conditions in the region have improved despite what it described as “sponsored instability” over the past four years.

In a statement on Sunday, IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, asked residents and returnees to disregard what he termed propaganda against IPOB and the Eastern Security Network, insisting that both groups, with the support of the people, had played key roles in maintaining security in the region.

Powerful said the South-East had remained largely peaceful because Ndigbo are “inherently peaceful”, while urging people to also bring investments home.

The statement read in part, “The worldwide family and movement of the IPOB, expertly guided by our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, urges Ndigbo in Nigeria and abroad who plan to come home for the Christmas festivities to do so, as ESN operatives and IPOB volunteers will ensure security throughout the entire South-East region.

“The South East Region is Nigeria’s most tranquil area. Despite the sponsored instability in the region over the last four years, the security conditions have notably enhanced.”

IPOB also dismissed social media reports about an alleged kidnapping of passengers at Ngor Okpala along the Owerri–Aba Expressway, describing the footage circulated as “old” and “false”.

It noted that ESN operations are conducted discreetly and warned the public not to expect updates on social media, adding that ESN has no official online accounts.

Powerful said, “The absence of continuous killings and abductions in the South-East region serves as evidence that there are ‘Lions’ guarding the land.”

He accused the Federal Government and some Igbo politicians of attempting unsuccessfully to “break up” IPOB and ESN, adding that the Biafra restoration movement remained “a sacred initiative”.

The group encouraged Ndigbo to return home in large numbers for Christmas and invest in the region, urging them not to allow fear or insecurity narratives to discourage them from visiting.

There thousands of Chinese, Lebanese and Indians all over Nigeria, but there is China, Lebanon and India. Since when has migration meant that you must belong the country you migrate to?

Yes, Lord Lugard came from Europe to make us Nigerians, and that must we remain forever

Colonial mentality is a horrible disease

gidgiddy:
Did any Senator come together before Nigeria was created?

Did anyone table any concern anywhere before the British made you and your ancestors Nigerians?

Did anyone go to any House assembly before your lands and other people's lands were merged to create Nigeria?

If nobody needed any of these things to be part of Nigeria, why do you need it now not to be part of Nigeria?

Nigeria is a product of a land stealing exercise known as colonisation. And if the owners the land say that they want their land back, particularly as the union has never worked, we should all agree to let those people go, rather than waiting for Senators who were not their when their lands were forcefully added to Nigeria without their consent

gidgiddy:
Don't you guys realise that it is only after Nigeria has granted people their independence that Senators can be recalled and allocation stopped?

Don't put the cart before the Horse. When Nigeria announces date of independence of an area, that's the date Senators and allocation stop stop for that area.

I dont even know why you guys even want a long failed British colonial creation that has never worked since 1960, to continue

What we should do is come together, admit that the British should never have brought us together, admit that the union has been a failure, shake hands and go our different ways

Good2go1:
The Yoruba that always shout Igbo to back to your region. They are the same people to lamenting anytime Igbos are agitating to form their own country

Afrikahene:
You call them Demagogues because they have not achieved Biafra; if not, they would have been the Founding Fathers. All freedom fighters and Founding Fathers were all Demagogues, while Aristotle trained a butcher named Alexander, so what do you call Aristotle and Alexander? All opposition parties are groups of Demagogues too. We know how APC under Tinubu presented President Goodluck and PDP as Bad luck, and promised to “Change” Nigeria. Today we are seeing their change.
You and your team are the Demagogues, as it is clear that the label is a label of control.

Nonexisting1:
If you had put the same time and efforts in boko Haram matter, maybe you could have saved the 60 lives we lost in Borno recently. Anything Igbo gives you people errection and nothing else matter including critical issues.

gidgiddy:
And yet you guys fully supported a Fulani man called Buhari to be elected and re-elected President as herdsmen from his tribe were killing Nigerians in all 6 geopolitical zones

Isn't that beautiful?

helinues:
You can as well add Peter Obi to the list.

Sirianese:
You do Ojukwu, his memory and indeed the family he left behind a gross disservice, by putting him up there with a raving lunatic and a bloodthirsty killer.

kettykin:
Their only offense is wanting to pull igbos out of Nigeria, there is something really wrong somewhere. Samevfolks that gave out the only oil rich peninsular in the world and bitterly fought against the Biafran secession are now the people who cry themselves hoarse that igbos should leave Lagos for them.
