We are being killed on daily basis just for agitating for a just course which is BIAFRA. The atrocities going on in Biafra land since the emergence of this agitation cannot be over emphasized. The security operatives have even legalized these heinous crimes against Biafrans in Nigeria such that one is forced ask if the World powers do not hear our cry.

THE hermit kingdom of North Korean state media has warned that Beijing was crossing the red lines in its relationship with Pyongyang. This is in a rare criticism of its closest ally, the Peoples’ Republic of China. A commentary in the state-run newspaper Rodong Sinmun vowed North Korea would not give up its nuclear program. It accused China of “dancing to the tune of the U.S.” and providing Washington excuses to deploy more military assets to the Korean Peninsula. The commentary urged two Chinese state-run newspapers, the People’s Daily and Global Times, to refrain from making reckless remarks which risked undermining relations between the two countries. It comes after increased criticism of North Korea in Chinese state media amid heightened tensions in the region. Rodong Sinmun specifically criticized the Chinese media’s call for more sanctions against North Korea as a way to avert war. “We didn’t cross the ‘red line’ of the (North Korea)-China relationship,” the commentar

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Thursday morning, declared President Muhammadu Buhari, unfit to continue to function as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Fani-Kayode, advised the ailing President to give up and resign. According to Fani-Kayode, the absence of Buhari at the fourth Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting, was a clear indication that the President’s health had worsened, and was no longer fit to discharge his duties as the number one citizen of Nigeria. In an article titled: ‘The Resurrection of Corpocracy’, obtained by Post-Nigeria, the former Minister warned that what happened to the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, may be knocking at the door of Buhari. Recall, that Yar’Adua died on May 5, 2010, after a long protracted battle with Acute Pericarditis, at the age of 58. “Whoever is holding this poor, frail, sick, and elderly man to ransom, and keeping him in the Presidential Villa, probably ag

The Chairman of the Commission, Muhuyi Magaji, confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Wednesday, in Kano. Magaji, who declined to disclose the names of the affected personnel and description of the documents, however, said the officials have all relevant documents concerning the probe. He explained that the officials demonstrated a high degree of cooperation, as they fielded questions and submitted documents detailing the Council’s approvals and expenditure.

The assembly is made up of 32 members, including the Speaker, Hon. Michael Adeyemo and the Deputy, Hon. Musah Abduwa

Former Arsenal forward Kanu Nwankwo says Chelsea flying wingback Victor Moses deserves to win the next CAF Africa Footballer of the Year Award, due to his performances for Chelsea this season. Victor Moses has been ever present for Chelsea who are on course to win the double this season, as they currently lead the English Premier League with less than four games to go, and they are also through to the FA Cup final. Kanu believes Moses has performed above any other player from Africa this season, hence he deserves to be rewarded with the award which is currently held by Algerian Leicester City forward, Riyad Mahrez. Former Arsenal striker and two times Africa Footballer of the Year, Nwankwo Kanu feels no African footballer is worth the 2017 CAF award other than Chelsea star-man, Victor Moses. “Moses has proved critics wrong. It is now left for CAF to do their rating. As for me, he deserves the 2017 CAF award. Although the season is still on and no one can tell what future will

From Mazi Onyebuchi Eze For Family Writers 3/5/2017 Dear Senators and Rep Members, A TIME TO MOVE MOTION FOR BIAFRA REFERENDUM IS NOW It is with total humility and respect to the votes of Biafran populace in Biafraland which gave you, the Senators, Rep members and State House of Assembly members from Biafraland the mandate of legislative representation to represent Biafra people in those legislative chambers, that I, Mazi Onyebuchi Eze, a Biafran activist of Family Writers of IPOB wish to write this open letter to you people. The writing of this open letter to you people become highly necessary in the view of the hurricanes of agitations for Biafra restoration presently raging like wild fire around your senatorial zones & constituencies. Distinguished Senators and Honourable Rep members, if there is anything heating up the polity and political atmosphere all over Biafraland at the moment which deserves a courageous legislative attention and robust action, it is the un

The Indigenous People of Biafra has ones again directed all its members to disregard information making waves on social media against its struggle under Nnamdi Kanu (IPOB leader and Director of Radio Biafra). Defending the courtesy visits made by Nnamdi Kanu to some Politicians, Uche Mefor, the deputy Director of Radio Biafra sounded strong warnings to it’s members to be vigilant against misinformation from Nigeria media. Read issued statement below. “We want to use this opportunity to notify the public that Muhammadu Buhari’s handlers have once again failed woefully in their amateurish hatchet jobs. There is no iota of truth in all the stories being circulated on the internet safe for the authenticated pictures and videos in which our leader appeared. “Our position is that we shall allow these enemies of Biafra to vent and deflate….then we shall bury them with the truth. Please disregard all publications not from radio biafra, IPOB leadership or from authorised ipob spokesper

The below Screenshot are lies from APC led Nigerian government. This is  exactly why the Nigerian APC government through Justice Binta Nyako restricted Nnamdi Kanu who committed no crime from granting Interviews. Have you seen how deceitful this APC Nigerian government is?  They restricted Nnamdi Kanu from granting interviews so that they will go about lying against him. Very unfortunate that this APC government dragged the hallowed chamber of justice to the mud. Nigerian APC government is making mockery of themselves. But, No matter how hard they try, they cannot stop the inevitable restoration of Biafra. We are committed to this Holy mission. Mentally we are strong and we shall battle Nigeria government and her murderous brown envelop media syndicates  head-on. It is their duty to lie and it is our duty to expose their lies. We are ever ready to confront their lies no matter how they make it look. IPOB remains what it is and we are not mincing words when we say we are not alig

Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate president, says the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFC is planning to plant guns, huge amounts of foreign currencies in a house believed to be his. Speaking on the floor of the senate on Wednesday, Ekweremadu said a source tipped him off on the alleged pl of the anti-graft agency to indic him. Ekweremadu said the commission planned to arrest him for three weeks and charg him to court since the immunit clause, contained in section 30 of the constitution, did not appl to his office. The deputy senate president sa the aim of the whole plot is to destroy his political career. “I will simply read the information then we rest it at that. They said on 6th of May Saturday night/Sunday, the EFC alongside the local and international media under the guise the whistle-blowing polic of the federal government have obtained a warrant to search a apartment alleging to be one of your guest houses in Enugu capital state,” he said. “The EFCC will be cl

As I said before, our struggle for Biafra restoration will intensify, if at this juncture you are still doubting Nnamdi Kanu’s resolve on Biafra quest then you must have your brain re-examined. Look for what you will do for Biafra. Nnamdi Kanu is on a mission and our final destination is Biafra. Biafra restoration has drawn international attention hence, the need to carry our people along is of great importance. In our culture, we have that great respect for our elders BUT, also very bold in confronting them when they are going wrong hence, no body is perfect. Nnamdi woke you and I including our elders up with his harsh voice and the truth he preached, without his harsh voice people like me will not take Nnamdi Kanu serious. Using harsh voice on our people doesn’t mean he will reject them completely NO NO NO. They will be useful when they finally come back to their senses. Meeting Our senators is a good development, telling them our mission is an honor to them.  As I said befor

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari appears to be winning the war against rag tag Boko Haram, because the insurgents are sympathetic to the All Progressives Congress-led, APC, administration. Jonathan made this disclosure In the book, titled: “Against the Run of Play: How an incumbent President was defeated in Nigeria”, written by Olusegun Adeniyi. Jonathan added that, his government did its best, as far as the fight against Boko Haram was concerned, and further noted that, while the insurgents saw him as an ‘infidel’, they see Buhari as one of ‘their own’. He said: “What is happening now with regards to Boko Haram, was the same thing that happened to me, regarding the Niger Delta militants in 2007. “I did my best and so did the military, although I can understand if there is greater commitment to the fight now than in the past. “In my time, Boko Haram said they were fighting an infidel. There is a feeling of ‘our man is there now

Since the unfortunate amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorate which make up the present day geographical expression called Nigeria, Biafrans have worked tirelessly towards the development, progress and unification of Nigeria. Before now, an average Biafran sees any part of Nigeria as his/her home. Biafrans dominated in the areas of science, technology, commerce and arts. Coupled with the unfriendly relationship Biafra had with Britain (as a result of resistance to slavery and deceit by Britain), there was a conspired plan by Britain and their Northern Nigeria puppets to exterminate Biafrans which led to several pogroms and consequently the 1967-1970 genocide. Had Northern and Western Nigeria wanted restructure, over 6 million Biafrans would not have lost their lives in 1967-1970. Had Nigeria wanted equity, the Northern cabals would not have owned over 85% oil wells of Biafra. If meritocracy is esteemed over mediocrity in Nigeria, there would not have been a

BY Russell Bluejack I have noticed that the media, both online and print, is replete with works about Workers’ Day. I have decided to toe a different path as usual, since I don’t believe there is anything good to write on in relation to workers in Nigeria. Nigeria is indeed overdue for demolition, bearing in mind that even workers have not been treated fairly. The civil service in Nigeria is the most disregarded in the world. The various governments in Nigeria – state and federal – have taken their turns to dehumanize the worker to the gamut that pensioners are owed 14 years ARREARS, and some states owe their civil servants for more than a year. Those that understand what it takes to have a civil government know pretty well that without civil service no government is government in the actual sense of the word. Whether the workers in Nigeria should be in jubilant mood or in a sober one over today’s celebration is beyond debate, since they have clearly been on the receivin

A paramedic has written a moving description on Facebook (see below) of the difficulties he has to face every day in his job, and how he is paid a pittance of just £12.35 an hour to do it. This is because the Tory government has over the last 7 years capped paramedics’ and other public workers’ pay rises at 1%. The cabinet ministers who made that decision, however, have seen their own pay rise over the last 7 years to the point they are making approximately £117.92 an hour*, on top of which they can also claim expenses, subsidies and other perks. Brian Mear: I joined the Ambulance Service in 1986. For over 28 years I worked doing “Front Line” work. That’s Emergency work. Covering 999 calls. For the last 6 years of my service I worked alone predominantly on nights at weekend so I could care for my mum who had cancer. At night I would be covering 80,000 people alone. In that time I undertook significant training. Advancing myself in skills and knowledge. I became a Paramedic in

JOE Igbokwe, the publicity secretary of Lagos State chapter of the All Progressive Congress, APC, has described the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as a fraud. Igbokwe, was reacting to the visit of Nnamdi Kanu to former minister of aviation, Chief Olufemi Fani-Kayode at his Asokoro residence in Abuja, today. During Kanu’s visit to FFK. The APC chieftain also questioned what Mr. Kanu and his so-called Biafra agitation had to do with a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, if what he is clamouring for was a genuine course. Mr Kanu and Fani-kayode once met at Kuje Medium Security Prison in Abuja where Fani-Kayode was remanded in an on-going Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, case concerning campaign funds used by the People’s Democratic Party during the 2015 presidential election. When Fani-Kayode was freed on bail, he wrote an article chronicling his encounter with the pro-Biafra activist and in another article, likened him to great Igbo leaders like

The UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Ms Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, said the rights of indigenous peoples around the world are being abused by governments and corporations. Tauli-Corpuz made the remarks at the sidelines of the ongoing 60th Session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues at the UN headquarters in New York. “The rights of indigenous peoples are being abused by authorities and corporations that want access to their land and the resources such as petrol that are beneath it. “The situation of indigenous peoples’ rights is really not in a very good state these days because there are policies and laws used to criminalize them,” she said. She regretted what she termed the use of harassment, torture and arrests against indigenous peoples peacefully protecting their property. “This is out of line with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted by the General Assembly in September 2007, which established a universal frame

airports and refineries for the new republic [Biafra]. A 1960 graduate of Physics from the University of Glasgow in Scotland, he was a key figure in the Research and Production section of Biafra. Dr. Oragwu, a native of Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, was recently interviewed by The Sun newspaper and he spoke on the renewed Biafra agitation, what the South East and South South should be agitating apart from Biafra. According to him; The agitation by the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) came out of Biafra. We wanted to secede because the Federal Government failed to implement Aburi Accord but because they had superior power, they said we could not secede. They took us back to Nigeria after fighting for 30 months, just like they took Niger Delta people back to Nigeria. To understand my thinking about all these, if we don’t restructure Nigeria into a true federation, just lik

Hausa/Fulanis are off-loading arms into a Mosque located at Onions market, Uratta Express Junction, Aba, Biafrans in Aba actually did the needful and the police stormed the Mosque and recovered over 5,000 different types of guns including the ones recovered from Aba Central Mosque. A number of Hausa/Fulanis were arrested and taken to Central Police Station (CPS), Aba, from where they were transferred to Umuahia yesterday, May 14, 2016. Now the question is, if over 5,000 guns were recovered from just two Mosques, who knows the total number of guns they have stored in Aba and the entire Abia, Rivers, Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Bayelsa, Delta and Ebonyi states? In fact, Biafrans must declare “OPERATION SEARCH ALL THE MOSQUE” in all states in Biafra land. We must also search all the areas the Hausa/Fulanis are doing businesses in Biafra land. Places like where they off-load Yam, Potatoes, Onions, Sugar Cane, Tomatoes, also where they buy and sell gold and where they change Dollars.

2nd May, 2017. IPOB  Press Release:   We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and it's leadership worldwide wish to use this medium to warn certain unscrupulous individuals masquerading as 'agitators" who are making frantic efforts to sabotage the Remembrance Day celebrations of our fallen heroes and heroines, who laid down their lives for us in the British sponsored genocidal war against Biafrans, to retrace their steps or face certain destruction. According to IPOB intelligence report, there are some groups and individuals who have over the weeks been meeting with enemies of Biafra, especially the Federal Government of Nigeria and certain Igbo governors, who gave them money to mobilise and frustrate our glorious 30th of May 2017 Remembrance Day. Some of these dishonourable and clearly shameless persons and groups are so devilish they don't realise that it is their patriotic duty to honour those that fell in battle in defence of their freedom. Our supreme
