We the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) and it’s leadership worldwide under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to bring to the knowledge of civilised nations that IPOB is the most peaceful self determination movement in the world right now bar none. We pride ourselves as the children of light, devoted to the worship of the one true God (Chukwu Okike Abiama) in truth and in spirit, so we cannot dabble into any form of lawlessness or criminality. The Nigerian Police Commissioner of Rivers State is on record as having said that he finds nothing unlawful about the activities of IPOB, after over 3million people came out at Obigbo Rivers State in South South, just to catch a glimpse of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. There is nobody, in politics or religion, dead or alive that has managed to command the huge following that our leader has in Nigeria today. So it is understandable, especially in not so enlightened societies, for admiration to give way to treachery occasione...

The authorities of the Nigerian Army have declared that the leader of the proscribed In­digenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, was not in their custody. The Army described as untrue and misleading, al­legations in some quarters that Kanu was arrested by soldiers who invaded his house in Abia State. The Army Public Re­lations Officer, Major Gb­adamosi Oyegoke, said on Tuesday that he was not au­thorised to comment on the matter, but urged The AU­THORITY to contact those “in charge of the Operation Python Dance II in Abia.” When our correspondent contacted the affected offic­er, he simply said: “Kanu is not in Army custody.” The officer’s reaction was prompted by the de­mand by Kanu’s family that the Nigerian Army should produce him because his whereabouts remain un­known to them since the September 14, 2017 mili­tary raid on their house at Afaraukwu Umuahia. Kanu’s younger broth­er, Prince Emma Kanu, who made the call yesterday, said that he strongly believed ...

The respected traditional ruler made the comments when he received the national officers of PCN and commandants from the 7 states of the northwest region on Thursday, September 28.

Abia state Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has said that South-East Governors only banned the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), but did not declare it a terrorist organization. He stated this while speaking on The Osasu Show, where he also explained that the Governors only proscribed the activities of the group, to douse tension in the region Ikpeazu warned that labelling IPOB a terrorist organisation has far-reaching consequences. “Put the action of the south-east governors within context. It became expedient for the south-east governors to look at their mandate,” Ikpeazu said. “My mandate as a governor is to secure life and property of not only Abians but everybody that is doing business within the geographical space called Abia. “So at that time, I should protect even those agitating for an independent country called Biafra. I come from a part of the country where the lives and property of visitors within your gate is perhaps more important than your own life. “My duty an...

The Spanish govt. refuses to recognise the process but they have NOT called the people of Catalan terrorists or sent in the army. LEARN FROM THIS!” The Federal Government has gazetted the order of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which proscribed the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and declared it a terrorist group.

Tonto Dikeh alleged that Churchill’s father was former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s gardener, that he had a hand in a miscarriage she had while with him and that he brutalized her. Someone asked him his thoughts, and the businessman in a lengthy reply took at time to explain himself, he wrote; “I’ll take time out from my very busy schedule to address these lies quickly. King’s mother had him through CS operation … it wasn’t a natural birth. Her healing process took 3 months and the doctor strongly advised against copulation for the said period. We lived together for only six months and with 3 months without copulating a 4 months pregnancy that got terminated by domestic violence is an impossibility which clears me of the claims of being a murderer and causing her to lose the said pregnancy that was a figment of her imagination to make the false claims believable. Secondly;the gold pedant she had on in the pictures showing her scars I bought from Switzerland and I handed tha...

Following the recent tag, the Nigeria military labeled Ipob (Terrorist)  which UN and the world kicked Against, making it clear to them that IPOB is not a terrorist organization rather  a peaceful people seeking for self governing. The UN made it clear to them that Ipob cannot be tagged a terrorist group rather the military that are killing and manipulating the innocent people are to be tag terrorist, because the soldiers action and deeds are act of terrorism all over the world. The Nigeria military have always been found misbehaving and acting in a way that cave them out from military but terrorism. We have no other option than to declare their act of action in Nigeria as an act of terrorism.

Concerned lawyers in Onitsha, Anambra state have advised Igbo living in the North to adhere to the quit notice earlier issued by Northern youth coalition. The lawyers, led by Barr. Samuel Okechukwu, told newsmen in Onitsha, that Igbo people in the region should return home before October 1 whether the threat to their lives will be carried out or not.

THE STRUGGLE HAS GONE VIRAL INTERNATIONALLY: THE RESTORATION OF BIAFRA IS OFF THE NEGOTIATION TABLE Be inspired, beloved and highly esteemed Biafrans the world over. Our foes made a miscalculated and misguided move that made the struggle snowball from mere agitation to a very serious international issue deserving brisk attention. Stop ululating about the military invasion in the guise of training (Python Dance Operation in the East). It is the real reason behind the success recorded so far, beloved. Sometimes our enemies play into our hands. Do you know why? It is because we are God’s own children blessed to redeem the black world from debased level of existence. O yes, Biafrans, Tamuno’s/Oghene’s/Chukwuokikeabiama’s/Abasi’s/Tamara’s own people, will remove the black race from darkness. We are the evasive and elusive light to the black race.

We will therefore not want to believe stories that certain persons in the US Mission in Nigeria have been funding the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, for the twisted intent to destabilize our country. “For the records, IPoB was declared a terrorist organization by the order of a competent Federal High Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, made this known when she addressed State House correspondents on the outcome of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), which was presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday.
