Good morning fellow comrades. Happening now  along Enugu Portharcourt express way this morning at 6:48 am, as I was returning back from my late elder brother's burial, there was trucks numbering about 80 heavily loaded with what only God knows and sealed with tarpolen heading towards Enugu town. Surprisingly, all the plate numbers of the long vehicles were Gombe, Kano, Katsina etc. The vehicle I was traveling in was finding it extremely difficult to wade through the road due to the number of long vehicles that barricaded the entire road. Our reporters in Enugu axis should please investigate and make a proper report about this. My spirit is telling me that all is not well because when we got some army check point, i sighted some soldiers discussing briefly with some drivers of those long vehicles who has got to that point where they are. I think the contents of those trailers that was completely sealed were weapons. Our people must be alerted, times are different

The Anglican Bishop of Ibadan Diocese, Most Rev. Joseph Akinfenwa, has warned that if Nigeria disintegrates, every region will experience a setback of 100 years. He gave the warning yesterday during an interview with newsmen on the sidelines of the ordination of deacons and priests at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Nalende, Ibadan. The cleric said: “It is from one area that quit notice was given, and another area desired to be independent. “The whole thing boils down on injustice, poverty, suffering of the masses, some few carting away the goods of the land, whereas a lot of people are suffering. “The fruit that our diversity has borne is more than the division that we are lingering for. Our unity and our being together, has borne so many fruits. If we say this marriage should be divorced, everybody will be a loser from whatever angle. It is going to set us back 100 years. “Where is the good in and in encouraging the labours of our heroes past? We

This is what is called ' Drop Mic" by Ifeyinwa China Onyeabo. Some Lilly livered Igbos are now afraid. They are apologizing on my behalf. If I hear!! My tribe is better than yours. If you are not happy with this statement Take Gammallin 20. A proud people. The whole of Nigeria could not refine oil. Biafra was able to refine oil. When I am asked to list people from my tribe, I list Footballers Poets Movie Makers Musicians Professionals Businessmen Scientists I can go ahead and mention Evans because I know Oyenusi trained him. You have a criminal called Tompolo and Alamesiya but Evans is the big deal for you. Should you even have an Ibori in the first place? You do not have scientists but you want to have a criminal. That is against natural balance. You should have the good ones first before having an Evans but all you do is copy the bad ones in Igboland. The whole North has only one business man named Dangote. The rest are politicians stealing N

Biafrans all over the world have declared that if Nigeria government refuses to grant Biafra referendum to the people of Biafra wherein their political future will be determined and decided, there will be no peace in Nigeria anymore. Biafrans have issued a strong warning to Nigeria government to stop calling for a meeting with the so-called Igbo Leaders of shame of who have no single recognition or respect from the people due their political prostitution and unprecedented cynicism on the plight of Biafrans in Nigeria. If Nigeria government continue to be mischievous by going to engage those political jobbers and giving them Ghana Must Go bags of money to be opposing Biafra restoration, it is a mere waste of time and resources, because soon Biafran youths will shift aggression to those shameless Igbo leaders and it will be catastrophic to them because by then, Biafraland will no more contain the angry youths and the so-called useless Elders of shame. T

Emmanuel stated this following as his elder brother's case will be coming up next month and there are tension in some quarters that the bail granted him might be revoked by the court.

"You will arrest Nnamdi Kanu, why would they not arrest Arewa youths, they should have to arrest the Arewa youths first who had asked Biafrans in their place to leave. Why have they not arrested them? Are you telling me that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) or the Director General of DSS does not know them

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has warned Acting President Yemi Osinbajo not to threaten Biafran agitators, saying that would be an exercise in futility. Recall that Acting President Yemi Osibanjo had warned that those calling for secession would be dealt with by the Federal Government. FFK as he is fondly called wrote a lengthy article on social media, saying that Osinbajo’s threat to Biafran agitators is a product of his desire to please the cabals that he dances to their tunes. “Osinbajo ought to know that even if he jails and kills every Biafran in the country others will rise up and carry on the fight,” he said. “He cannot successfully intimidate or threaten a growing movement and philosophy with words and threats. Matters have gone far beyond that now. “He cannot keep Nigeria together with violence or threats of violence. He can only keep her together by the constant expression of love and the regular repetition of regrets for p

The Coalition of Northern Youths have written a letter to the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, begging him to allow Ndigbo to conduct a referendum to decide if they want to remain in Nigeria or have their own country (Biafra Republic). In the letter signed by Ambassador Shettima Yerima, Joshua Viashman, Aminu Adam, Abdul- Azeez Suleiman and Nastura Ashir Sharif, the Northern group argued that the principle of self- determination has since world war II become a part of the United Nations Charter, which states in Article 1(2) that one of the purposes of the UN is “to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples”. They said: “Though we do not doubt Your Excellency’s bona fide concerns for the peaceful resolution of the crises, we nevertheless have reservations as to the efficacy of this approach in ensuring lasting solutions. “Our doubts are informed by the following historical an

I'd  The Presidency has revealed why the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu was not invited to Presidential Villa - The Presidency said Kanu is not a leader of thought in the South-East - Special adviser to the president on political matter Babafemi ojudu said Ohanaeze leaders have only complained about marginalization in appointments and harassment by police at road blocks The special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on political matters Babafemi Ojudu has given reasons why the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu was not invited to Presidential Villa. Ojudu said Kanu was not asked to join the acting president and the South-East leaders in a meeting last week because the IPOB leader is not perceived as a leader of thought in the South-East. He however said not inviting Kanu during the last South-East leaders meeting with the Acting President does not mean the IPOB leader will not be invited if the need arises. Ojudu sai

The South-East Elders Forum (SEEP) has broken its silence over the Arewa youths quit notice by warning the Igbo still remaining in the northern part of the country to see themselves as taking a big gamble with their lives if they fail to read the handwriting on the wall and come back home immediately before the October 1 deadline. The apex organization of Igbo elders issued the warning in a press release issued by the convener of the forum, Dr Dozie Ikedife, in Nnewi, Anambra State, yesterday and made available to newsmen. The forum said that in the light of the strong endorsement of the pronouncement of the Arewa youths by Professor Ango Abdullahi, the spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, the quit notice should be seen as the tip of the iceberg of a well thought out plan, no matter the contrary statements which some of the northern leaders might have made afterwards. SEEF leadership noted that despite the order for the arrest of the originators of

In a statement issued on Sunday by its Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, the apex oil firm said that the price crashed by 42 per cent over the last six months from N300 per litre recorded earlier in the year, due to strategic intervention efforts by the NNPC towards sustained improvement in the supply of the diesel.

Ughamadu further said that in the first quarter of 2017, retail prices of AGO, which is one of the deregulated products, shot to an all-time high of N300 per litre in major demand centres across the country.

The atmosphere was filled with excitement as customers and fans who were at the 3C Hub store and its environs took advantage of the moment to fraternize with the Enugu born singer, as the many sounds of clicks and shots from camera shutters taking selfies shot after shot could be heard all over the place, creating a disjointed but weirdly melodious rhythm.

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has been urged to look critically into the removal of Christian Religious Knowledge from secondary school curriculum. He was equally urged to reverse this dangerous trend before it sets the nation on fire. President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Samson Ayokunle, made the demand during in a meeting with Osinbajo, on Wednesday. Ayokunle described the new curriculum as “divisive and ungodly”. He explained that although the Islamic Religious Knowledge (IRK) was initially affected, it was later re-introduced in the curriculum. The CAN president stressed that if the curriculum is implemented, “it would lead us to a godless nation with violence and all forms of ungodliness as the order of the day”. “In this curriculum, Islamic and Christian Religious Studies will no longer be studied in schools as subjects on their own but as themes in a civic education. This undermines the sound mitral values that t

Two kids were  born August 31st, 1980, one in Kano (Jubril) another in Enugu (Emeka). They got to primary school in those areas and got to Primary 6, now the twist begins. They both took  Federal Common Entrance, Emeka scored 168/200 and Jubril 16/200. For some silly quota system, they both ended up in the same class at Federal Government College, Enugu (FGCE). Emeka continues to come 1st-3rd in the class of 30 and Jubril 25-29th/30. 6 years later, WASCE and JAMB were taken. Emeka had 6As and 2Cs (WASCE) and 286/400 (JAMB) while Jubril had 5Cs and 2Ps and 106/400 in JAMB. Again by a warped and weird stroke they ended up in the same Law Faculty in University of Nigeria, Enugu campus. 5years later Emeka graduated with 2-1 and Jibril with a Pass! Emeka is done with Law school at Abuja - No Job after NYSC. Jubril as soon as he gets out of Abuja Law school then one year NYSC gets a job as a Magistrate at the Federal Magistrate Court Abuja, 2 years later he is promoted as a Judge. E

Like I have noted before in several articles and fora, the unnecessary hatred and anger against the Igboman from some other zones of the un- working and unworkable contraption called Nigeria can always be tolerated. Their out bursts are understandable. What however infuriates my impatience medulla oblancata is when our brothers and kinsmen who have now been unfortunately pushed to the other side of the deliberately designed Regional Creation by the Hausa-Fulani Oligarchs come shamelessly to the open to abuse their FREEDOM agitators. These numskulls have been brainwashed into believing that Ndigbo were interested in acquiring their oil resources and lands, and i ask: Where is this oil? Where is the land? For God's case, is there anything meaningful in the South South that cannot be found better in the southeast? In this era of technological advancement, does Biafra land not possess large reservoir of coal that can power a powerful economy? Do we n

Report reaching us, has revealed that the Presidency based on a recent security advice, is weighing its options on how to tackle the Coalition of Northern Youths, and the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, for the actualization of the Republic of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Top sources said yesterday, that the Security Agencies have advised the Federal Government to embrace dialogue, and give the two groups final warning instead of arrest, outright crackdown, and revocation of Kanu’s bail. It was learnt that some of the options were presented at the sessions which the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, had with the Northern and Igbo Leaders, a few days ago. At the said meeting, the Presidency was briefed that: “Some war mongers and divisive elements”, were behind the Northern youths and IPOB, and that the objective of “these elements”, is to destabilise the country.

It is good for people to help the needy and poor. But a question for the government of Nigeria, where is all the money budgeted for IDP camp? Since Boko Haram has been defeated, why don't IDPs return to their homes? Personally, I thank BUK branch of ASUU for their kind gesture and implore them to remember IPOB members Nigeria Army and Fulani Herdsmen made orphans. The Bayero University Kano (BUK) chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), on Friday, donated food items worth five million naira to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the North East. The BUK ASUU Chairman, Dr Ibrahim Barde, who inaugurated the campaign for the food distribution in Kano, said the gesture was to assist in reducing the sufferings of the IDPs at the various camps in the zone. “The intervention scheme is also meant to support them in their plight, which calls for immediate actions from different parts of the country. “The distribution of the food ite

Before his visit to Nnamdi Kanu in Nigeria, Erkahraman has joined in various rallies organised by the Indigenous People of Biafra, in his country. It is also reported that the INCA
