UPDATE ON TODAY'S VISIT TO OUR INDEFATIGABLE CLIENT – ONYENDU MAZI NNAMDI KANU - AT THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE SERVICES (DSS), ABUJA, WHERE HE IS STILL BEING ILLEGALLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY DETAINED IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT:

Our legal team visited our indefatigable Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu – today, being the 20th day of April 2023, at the DSS Headquarters, Abuja.

Onyendu was briefed on the status of pertinent pending appeals and other important development in relation to our appeal, which details shall remain private.

The visit afforded our team the opportunity to ascertain the true position of Onyendu’s health condition and the recent outbreak of tuberculosis (TB) in some wings of the DSS facility. To this end, Onyendu directed that we make the following clarifications:

1) There is tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in some wings of the DSS facility.

2) An Igbo man – Mr. Emene Ibe Uduma who was arrested from Ohafia sometime in September 2022, is one of the victims. The said Mr. Uduma was very healthy when he was brought to the facility in September 2022, but unfortunately, he is now at the verge of losing his life on account of TB infection.

3) All the TB infected persons are kept in solitary confinement in their cells without any access to fresh air and sunlight. Meanwhile, it is common knowledge that the TB bacteria cannot thrive in an atmosphere of fresh air and sunlight. Sadly, these inmates are kept in conditions under which the bacteria is easily circulated amongst them, and this is further worsened by the fact that they are not receiving any medical attention.

Consequently, Onyendu directed that we should draw the attention of the Red Cross and other well-meaning health organisations to the predicament and plight of these infected inmates, who are in dire need of medical treatment.

Onyendu's recently diagnosed ear problem – tinnitus ear infection – requiring advanced medical solution; which condition is as a result of the severe torture he received when he was criminally abducted in Kenya, still persists and is worsening.

Our legal team ably led by the legal iroko- Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, will continue to do everything legally permissible to ensure that Onyendu receives the much needed independent medical examination and treatment.

As usual, Onyendu extends his best compliments to Ezigbo UmuChineke for remaining resolute and undistracted even as he encouraged you all to continue to abide by your peaceful conduct as you have persistently displayed.

Thank you all, Ezigbo UmuChineke, and remain blessed.

We move!

THE OSEAKWA SEAPORT, IHIALA ANAMBRA STATE.

The almighty Lagos Seaport to Atlantic Ocean is 60 nautical miles, While the Potential OSEAKWA Seaport that was abandoned in 1959 by the Nigeria government is only 18 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean with a depth of 20mft.

By implication, shipping goods from China to Lagos with Lagos Seaport is very far than shipping goods from China to Oseakwa Ihiala, using the Seaport at Urashi Ihiala Anambra state.

It also implies that Imo, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra, Rivers, Delta, Edo, Beyelsa, Benue, Kogi and Akwaibom business men living in Lagos will find it easy to have their business in south- East, South-south and North Central by using Oseakwa seaport when and if it’s dredged.

This deep seaport will create over two million jobs, directly and indirectly, in marine business, oil and gas, power, education, housing, agro-food industry, entertainment, tourism, etc.

*The Crime of that Tribe Must be so Great*

In 1966: Nearly 1,000,000 of them were massacred in the North as revenge killings for a coup that was plotted by a young man that bears their name but had never been to their land.

They escaped back to their homeland and wanted a country of their own, but they were told that they must belong to one indivisible Nigeria

For three years, they resisted and lost another 3,000,000 of their kith and kin who were fed to the vultures. Their entire homeland was a killing field, they were killed, and they were starved. Kwashiorkor finished up their starving children. Many of their wives and daughters were r***d and some were taken into forced marriages.

After three years of annihilation, the genocide ended. The few that were still alive crept out of their holes and re-embraced the country that has massacred them without a just cause.

To return to the country, they were economically stripped of their remaining dignity and offered only £20 (₦40) each in exchange for their money they had in the banks before the war broke out ....millionaires before the war restarted life with £20 (₦40). They did not complain, they accepted their fate and reintegrated with all.

Within a short while, the country embarked on an indigenization policy which enabled many of their South Western, South-South and Northern brothers to buy up major multi-nationals at a giveaway price... but with £20 (₦40) in their pockets, they could only watch .... those that owned houses in the big cities lost their homes to the criminal policy of 'Abandoned property' as enacted by some states aimed at committing official stealing.

In the civil service, the policy of the quota system made it impossible for many of them to be accepted back into their former jobs ... In trying to get a quality education for their children; the policy of giving admission to children from educationally disadvantaged states, saw their children score so high at entrance exams but locked out from most of the Federal Government Colleges and universities; even though they were coming from war and for three years did not have any functional school system, they were still categorized as educationally advantaged. 53 years after the war, the educationally disadvantaged states are still educationally disadvantaged and the Igbos are still blamed for everything and denied major government presence and projects.

Locked out of schools and locked out of public service, they embraced trading and other menial jobs that a man could do with his hands to feed his family. To survive, they spread out again to the big cities with memories of their dead ones and rundown homeland.

Everywhere they went, they lived frugally, sometimes, a master lived in his shop with his 5 boys until they made enough money to rent a one-room apartment.

Of all their brothers, the Yorubas were the most accommodating after the war and this made many of them quickly forget the pains of the war and settled down to play major roles in the development of the communities, in which they found themselves.

In their host communities, they never looked back in donating towards the building of schools, churches and whatever was required...Some even married the daughters of their hosts and some took titles. At drinking bars, you find Jide and Emeka drinking and laughing. At school, you find Ebube and Bisola reading and playing together as best of friends.

Soon, at the turn of the 90s, many of their town unions encouraged them to completely trust their hosts and join hands in opening up areas that were hitherto, uninhabited, especially the swamps and the mangroves....they bought swamps and the term 'sand filling' became popular, they bought thick mangrove forests and in mowing them down, they became Osuofia and the money coming from them, made their hosts happy because most of the places they bought and transformed had laid waste for years.

With vigour, they negotiated for lands to build markets, cleared the lands and built the markets and were happy to welcome state and local government tax and rate officials. If you slap them on one cheek, they gladly turned the other with a smile. When they build houses, they trust everything to their Yoruba builders, and even in their homeland, all their building projects were done by the Yoruba boys they have come to love and trust.

Then...
1999 came....all celebrated the re-emergence of democracy…
but gradually, a new anti-Igbo message started, but they ignored it because they have completely fallen in love with their host...

In 2014.....
The divisive politicians showed up in their numbers and made them; the Igbos the sacrificial lamb all over again...

Someone wrote somewhere and I agree with him completely that:
In 1993, the Igbos voted Abiola against Tofa who had an Igbo as Vice-President…

In 1999, the Igbos voted for Obasanjo en-block

Obasanjo is Yoruba

Obasanjo lost Yorubaland but scored 85%+ in Igbo land

In 2003, the Igbos voted for Obasanjo

Obasanjo scored 95% in some Igbo states

Obasanjo defeated Ojukwu in Igbo land.

In 2007, the Igbos voted for Yaradua

Yaradua was Hausa-Fulani

Yaradua scored his highest percentage of votes in Igbo land

In 2011, the Igbos voted for Jonathan

Jonathan is Ijaw

Jonathan scored 95%+ in Igbo land

In 2015, the Igbos voted for Jonathan

Jonathan scored a higher percentage in Igbo land than in the South-South Region

In 2019, the Igbos voted for Atiku

Atiku is Fulani

Atiku scored a higher percentage in Anambra than Adamawa

In 2023, the Igbos voted for Obi

Obi is Igbo

Once the Igbos voted Obi they became ethnic-bigots

Once the Igbo gave Obi what they had given to Shagari, Abiola, Obasanjo, Ya' Ardua, Jonathan and Atiku, Igbos became criminals.

My heart is very heavy as I pen down these few lines because I smell another pogrom aimed at Igbos loading and I can't see anyone stopping the genocidal messages spreading on many South-West and other platforms... People are speaking of the coming Governorship election in Lagos on Saturday 11th March 2023 (now shifted to March 18th) as if it is a day that has been marked as D-Day for something very cold and un-Lagos.

And I ask again, what is the crime of the Igbos?

Some said Igbos claim to own Lagos and I laugh, someone who owns a place is buying land and paying tax and rents in the same place?

I am that ‘Kwashiorkored’ Igbo child (now 54) born in the war that you are trying to retrigger.

The dark clouds are gathering once again. Can someone please send this to all Igbo politicians who help in whipping up this anti-Igbo sentiments just for selfish political gains.

We know them and they know themselves.

All must hail BIAFRA

I Want To Be Released Before End of Buhari's Govt - Nnamdi Kanu Tells UK Govt .

IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu has met with a UK diplomat and wants the British government to intervene and get him released from detention before the Buhari administration leaves office in May.

British diplomat, Heather Wilkie, visited the detained IPoB leader in the DSS custody to see how he was doing in detention and what could be done for him as a UK citizen.

Kanu, Saturday Vanguard learnt, used the opportunity of the visit of the diplomat to plead with the UK government to prevail on Nigeria to free him before the Buhari government leaves office in May this year.

Kanu is said to have complained to the UK diplomat that despite the regular visits paid to him by the representatives of the government, that country had not done enough to secure his release as a British citizen, despite several orders for his release by Nigerian courts.

Tell Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that IPOB survived it

Some people don’t know the range of battles this IPOB family fought for the past year plus now. The enemies of IPOB came to destroy and pillage, they with total destruction but Chukw Okike Abiama was and is with us. From many fronts, they penetrated IPOB hoping to pull it down from its foundational structure, but lo and behold, those who Okike empowered to protect this noble family stood strong in defence of this movement. Their major plan was to sink IPOB with this zoo selection called election, they perfected their plans with their trap hoping that IPOB will fall into it to end IPOB agitation, but they never knew that those positions to protect this movement are highly sophisticated in wisdom.
They went into prison telling Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to give up that IPOB has fallen, but Mazi Nnamdi Kanu being a spiritual man knew what he left behind. He told them that IPOB has not fallen as they said. He gave them more tasks, he told them that any day they defeat this holy movement he put in place then he will step aside, he told them to try more. Then Mazi Nnamdi Kanu went by the side to pray for IPOB.

The enemies return with all their arsenals of destruction to pull down IPOB, yet Umucheneke said NO they will never live and see this movement see shame. UmuChineke battled the enemies to the ground, we destroyed all their Weapons and agents of blackmail they brought against IPOB.

Today the election they wanted to use against IPOB has come and gone and instead of their election sinking IPOB it ended up sinking INEC and zoo electoral process. Today Millions of Nigerians, some misguided Biafrans and the world at large have vindicated IPOB. IPOB stood their group that the electoral process in Nigeria is fraud and selection.

Today as IPOB said, INEC has selected who they want to be the Nigeria president irrespective of the wishes and aspirations of the Nigerian masses. European Union electoral observers were shocked to the morrow to the extent they shouted “WHAT AN OPEN FRUD! THIS ELECTION IS FULL OF IRREGULATIES!”.

Today INEC has happened to Nigerian masses and the world, today they have agreed with IPOB that PVC is just a camouflage to legalize electoral fraud.

IPOB worldwide can hit their chest and say we are victorious!!, our lawyers should tell Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Ohamadike that the battle is over!! IPOB is victorious!! we survived the attack and his freedom is imminent!!

In Okike we trust,
IPOB is unstoppable.

RIVERS OF BLOOD IN AFARAUKWU

By Elochukwu Nicholas Ohagi

Are they that died
in Afaraukwu, not heroes
They stood tall
and embraced death
as Nigeria military
rained bullets on them

Lands turned into rivers of blood
Flowing down
and singing heroic songs
Songs of victory

In death, we are winners they say
We chose to live in Biafra
and death can't stop us
Their assailants
are those that suffer with them
Men that suffer malaria and cholera
Men that put their lives in danger
with little or no food

These are the men who took
our lives for standing for referendum
for seeking a better life for them
For saying no to injustice
For saying no to marginalization
For saying yes to freedom
For standing with Biafra

One last look
at my assailant
I saw myself in him
My face and his face matched
An Igbo serving the zoo
An Ijaw in zoo uniform
What will make a man
serve those that torment him
To the extent of taking life for him
The life of his blood brother

I am a hero
I had no gun nor stick
yet it's not that their bullet
that left a gigantic hole
on my stomach that killed me

Holding my Biafran flag tight
I was rejected by the zoo hospitals
The rivers of blood kept flowing
I looked at the faces of my brothers
moving me from hospital to hospital
and dropped this message to them

I have fought the battle
like my fathers on the battlefield of 1967
I have finished my part
Continue the race
Restore Biafra

May our children to come
not be part of a country
that kills its youths
And I died a youth
I died a Biafran

In remembrance of all Biafran youths that paid the ultimate prize during the 2017 operation Python Dance II.

UPDATE ON TODAY'S VISIT TO OUR INDEFATIGABLE CLIENT – ONYENDU MAZI NNAMDI KANU - AT THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE SERVICES (DSS), ABUJA, WHERE HE IS STILL BEING ILLEGALLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY DETAINED IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT:

Our team of lawyers visited our indefatigable Client - Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (Ohamadike Ndi Igbo), today, being the 16th day of February 2023, at the DSS detention facility, Abuja, where he is still being unconstitutionally held in solitary confinement.

Onyendu was briefed on the status of all pending legal actions instituted on his behalf, as well as those involving UmuChineke across all courts in Nigeria, including our yesterday’s superlative outing in Ebonyi State High Court.

It is to be noted that the Federal Government of Nigeria was quick to comply with the interim decision of the Supreme Court concerning the CBN monetary policy, while the same government has blatantly refused to obey judgements of its own courts of competent jurisdiction, particularly the judgment of the Appeal Court which discharged Onyendu and prohibited his further detention and trial; and the judgment of the Federal High Court Umuahia which ordered for the unconditional release of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. This clearly supports the notion that some are considered less entitled to justice, in the Nigerian society.

It is disheartening to note that there is no remarkable improvement in Onyendu's health condition.

Onyendu complained that the DSS remained adamant and refused to adhere to the medical opinion of their own doctor, who stressed that Onyendu needs to undergo an urgent ear surgery to salvage whatever is left of his left ear, which was badly impaired on account of the torture he received in the hands of his abductors in Kenya.

Onyendu informed us and directed that we should make public, that the DSS officials would usually give him a piece of paper to write out what he needed. However, after writing the list, they would inform him that they can not afford to provide him with those items. They would then go away with the paper, falsely claiming that the contents of the paper were the things they had provided to him.

Further, Onyendu lamented that over a month ago, he wrote out the beverages and other items including soap, that he needed; and he was informed that the approval of the Director of Operations needed to be obtained before same could be provided for him. Unfortunately, the said items are yet to be provided for Onyendu.

More so, Onyendu stated that he was not given any breakfast today. He was only provided with a salty meal shortly before the visit, and he was constrained to eat part of it to enable him to take his medication.

Unfortunately, Onyendu is kept in solitary confinement where he is unable to personally respond to the retinue of lies being sold to the unsuspecting public by the DSS.

It is reasonable to believe that Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is being treated so shabbily because his oppressors expect his followers, upon reading/hearing of his condition and shabby treatment to violently revolt, thereby playing into the hands of the sponsored marauders presently running rampage in our land.

Nonetheless, Onyendu reminded UmuChineke that the only way to encourage him in his present state of solitary confinement is for you all to keep your eyes on the ball, remain focused, ceaselessly pray for him, and remain undivided in your peaceful solidarity. He admonished that Ezigbo UmuChineke should always remember the saying that "ala adịrọ mma bụ uru ndị nze".

In his characteristic manner, Onyendu thanked Ezigbo UmuChineke, who have stood steadfast and unwavering with him in this trying period. He urged you all never to relent until the final victory is achieved.

Thank you all, Ezigbo UmuChineke, and remain blessed.

We move!

IPOB PRESS RELEASE,
15/02/2023.

ANY ATTACK AGAINST NDIGBO OR BIAFRANS IN THE COMING ELECTIONS WILL BE RECIPROCATED - IPOB.

The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU have been drawn to a threat from a small village Monarch in Yoruba Land to the effect that they will deal with non-indigenes especially Ndigbo who doesn't vote in the upcoming elections according to the wish of the monarch. This sort of threat tell you all you need to know about the Nigerian selection process which they like to call election.

IPOB as a freedom movement do reaffirm our non recognition and or participation of (in) the Nigerian electoral process because the results do not represent the will of the people and this is why an idiot somewhere will have the gumption to threaten what they called non indigens and the Igbo nation in particular. While we Biafrans await a date for Referendum, nobody should threaten Ndigbo and Biafrans residing temporarily in other parts of Nigeria for any reason. IPOB want to state unequivocally that any attack in any part of Nigeria on the Biafran people or the Igbo Nation or their properties on account of the choice of individuals to participate and vote according to their conviction during this so called election will be met with adequate and commensurate action.

We urge men and women of good conscience in the North and West to caution their traditional rulers and politicians who want to use Ndigbo and Biafrans as scapegoat in this skewed election process to be very careful and retrace their step. Gone are the days when Ndigbo will be threatened and intimidated during elections. As long as Biafrans has not been given the opportunity to exit Nigeria via a referendum, IPOB will not stand by and watch anyone Nigerian or non Nigerian to threaten Buafrans or carry out such threats against us and get away with it.

Even as IPOB do not wish to be drawn into the ZOO politics, nobody has the right to threaten Ndigbo or attempt to compell them to vote for a particular party or candidate. Any Biafran who want to vote in this election has the right to vote for any party or candidate of his/her choice, and nobody should direct or threaten them to vote a particular party in their community or state. If anyone threaten to attack Ndigbo and Biafrans or non-indigenes residents in your place, be rest assured that the people being attacked will not sit and watch their property and life being destroyed and will activate their right to Self Defence.
We are urging Ndigbo, Biafrans and non indigenes everywhere to be prepared to defend their property, family and their own lives during and after this election period. Do not allow anyone to use you or your family as a sacrificial lamb this time around.

It is very imparative that we remind those who think highly of themselves and believe they will resort to violence and attack Biafrans that they do not have the monopoly of violence. Until Referendum is conducted and Biafrans exit Nigeria, those who have the habit of threatening and attacking Ndigbo must understand that it will not be business as usual this time around because their lives also will be in danger when they attack others. These nitwits believe that Biafrans are soft targets to threaten and attack at will well they should know that it will not be so this time around. These morons never threatened fulani not vote for any other party except their own party and their own person but rather directed their misguided outbursts against Biafrans and Indigbo. We dare them to attack NDIGBO and Biafrans this time around and see what will happen.

We are monitoring all the groups, institutions or individuals that threaten to attack Ndigbo. If they use election and that pretext to attack Ndigbo and their properties nationwide, we are ready to answer adequately and proportionately. Ndigbo nationwide must be prepared because they are coming to show us that we don't belong to Nigeria, while they continue to deny Igbo, Biafrans the right to Self Determination.

Every Igbo person must get ready to defend himself or herself. As long as Nigeria forced and kept us into this unwanted contraption, we are advising Biafrans to be fully ready to meet the coming challenge squarely and unwaveringly.

This picture on the right appeared on the internet after Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was rendition to Nigeria from Kenya. It was in the hands of the agents of the government that infiltrated IPOB. They were first sending it inbox to inbox while accusing DOS of selling out Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The question is this...

How did this picture get to those infiltrators? Who sent it to them? Have you asked? How did they get the picture of the torture Mazi Nnamdi Kanu got? And the picture looked like it was gotten from a video.

Is it that our people don't think again or what? Who gave these government agents this picture, which they used to fool gullible people?

We had Kanunta that knew MNK was kidnapped and tortured for 8 days but chose to lie to DOS that MNK was in the mountain praying.

We also have infiltrators who received a video of the torture of MNK from those security agents that tortured MNK.

Have you tried thinking about these things? If you haven't, I am now propelling you to think about them.

UPDATE ON PENDING CASES AFFECTING EZIGBO UMUCHINEKE STILL BEING HELD IN CAPTIVITY IN VARIOUS CORRECTIONAL CENTRES/DETENTION FACILITIES ACROSS NIGERIA:

Our journey towards the total freedom of all Ezigbo UmuChineke still being illegally held in captivity in various correctional centres/detention facilities of the Federal Government of Nigeria, took us to Abakaliki in Ebonyi State, once again.

Recall the faces of these innocent UmuChineke in the attached photograph. These 36 innocent young men were all discharged and acquitted by the High Court of Ebonyi State on the 27th day of September, 2022, while Ruling on our “No Case” submission, which I personally argued and adopted.

Unfortunately, the prosecution ostensibly acting on the relative weakness of their case, had pre-emptively filed another fresh and entirely different charge on the 21st day of June, 2022, three months before the Ruling was delivered, so that in the likely event that the Ruling goes in our favour, these innocent young men would be rearrested on the strength of the new indictment/charge and consequently detained.

This demonic legal trap unfortunately, availed them, though momentarily, It will be, because when these UmuChineke were eventually discharged on the 27th day of September, 2022, they were rearrested on the strength of the frivolous/empty new charge and consequently detained.

Since then, the prosecution has been on a scripted hide and seek game, relentlessly perverting the course of justice through their unethical pattern that resulted in the continued incarceration of these innocent Children of Light.

However, the prosecutor danced to a different music in court today, being the 15th day of February, 2023, because I appeared in the court unannounced, and the rest is now history. The prosecution was literally paid in his own coin after the fierce legal fireworks.

The most brilliant Ruling delivered today by His Lordship, on my application truly served the justice of the matter. It was indeed a superlative outing, and the hope for their freedom is now crystalized. We are almost at the end of the road, and I may not dwell much on the details here. Their relatives who were in court today, went home in high spirits as you can see in the attached photographs.

I shall keep you all updated on every progress in the matter as we vigorously, but legally pursue their freedom and unconditional release.

I return all the glory and adoration to the Almighty ChukwuOkike Abiama for granting me journey mercies back home.

Thank you all, Ezigbo UmuChineke and do remain blessed.

We move!
