IPOB TO BE DECLARED A TERRORIST GROUP

American Academic Wants US To Designate IPOB As Terrorist Organisation

Ivan Sheehan, an American academic, has asked the United States government designate the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist organisation.

Sheehan, who is the executive director of the school of public and international affairs at the University of Baltimore, in an opinion article published in The Washington Times on Monday, gave reasons why IPOB should be designated as a terrorist group by the US.

In 2017, the federal government declared IPOB as a terrorist organisation.

In recent times, the proscribed group has been accused of perpetrating violent attacks in the south-east in order to achieve its secession agenda — but IPOB has repeatedly denied being behind the attacks.

Speaking on the activities of IPOB, Sheehan said the establishment of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) by IPOB signalled the end of the group’s “pretenses of being a peaceful movement”.

The American academic accused Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB’s leader, of supporting terrorism and issuing threats via Radio Biafra.

“Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB’s leader, is clearly unconcerned. That he feels no need to even disguise his support of terrorism is worrisome,” Sheehan wrote.

“Though IPOB’s principal aim is to restore a breakaway state of Biafra in the southeastern parts of Nigeria, Mr. Kanu’s rhetoric has become increasingly strident, “I don’t want peaceful actualization (of Biafra).”

“Mr. Kanu has said through his Radio Biafra channel, used to project threats, instructions, and propaganda into Nigeria from the safety of London, “If they don’t (give us Biafra), they will die.”

“Neither does Mr. Kanu make idle threats. The December revelation of IPOB’s 50,000 strong-armed paramilitary wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), complete with a Swastika-style flag, marked the end to all pretenses of being a peaceful movement.

“What had been largely unspoken was publicly declared. Since then, violent IPOB attacks on both security personnel and civilians have surged by a terrifying 59%; deaths by 344%.”

He also said tagging the secessionist group with a terror label would “hit IPOB’s wallet hard”, adding that if done, no organisation that uses the US currency would be able to conduct legal transactions with IPOB.

“As soon as the designation is applied, no organization that utilizes U.S. currency would be able to legally conduct transactions with the organization. By cutting off IPOB’s funding, the U.S. would weaken the 50,000 strong paramilitary outfit, and provide Nigeria’s security forces room to train their sights squarely on ISIS-affiliated Boko Haram in the Northeast of the country,” he added.

“Counterterrorism operations against Boko Haram have long been assisted by U.S. agencies working in close coordination with the West African government.”

Commenting on possible reasons the US government has not designated IPOB as terror group “despite repeated pleas by Nigeria”, the American academic said the engagement of American lobbying firms by IPOB to manage its image may be a reason.

He also said a terror designation would mean the group could not use the US or its western allies to further their cause.

“One reason may be the group’s million-dollar contracts with prominent American lobbying firms paid to whitewash the group’s reputation and lobby on Capitol Hill. It is impossible to believe that IPOB and Kanu’s deep pockets are not being lined by external organizations,” he said.

“A terror designation would put a stop to this influence peddling. It would also mean the group could not use the US or its Western allies, like London-based Radio Biafra, to further their cause.

“The group’s outsized influence – a function of its radio station, paid hands, and US lawyers – would be severely curtailed. Law enforcement in the US, the U.K., and elsewhere would be obligated to act by shutting down these activities.”

*Northern Groups Vow: We Will Retrieve Our Lands From Fulani Gunmen*

THE Conference of Autochthonous Ethnic Nationalities Community Development Association (CONAECDA) has decried the persistent land grabbing and killing of people of minority tribes in the northern part of Nigeria by Fulani militias, vowing to recover all lands and communities forcibly and illegally occupied by the Fulani gunmen. The group, which comprises many ethnic nationalities in the North Central and other Northern states of the country, posited that the manner in which insecurity was being handled showed insincerity of public officials in dealing with the issue.

Addressing newsmen in Jos, Plateau State, the Secretary General of CONAECDA, Dr Suleiman Sukukum, berated the government for its posture on the plight of the ethnic minorities in the North, saying that the organisation had decided to recover such communities.

*FBI give details of how Hushpuppi allegedly paid N8m to DCP Abba Kyari to detain fellow fraudster, Chibuzo*

The FBI document added that “Attempting to reason with Abbas, on January 18, 2020, Chibuzo recounted for Abbas all the assistance he had provided in the scheme to victimize the victim Businessperson, including creating the “power of attorney” document, devising a story to tell the victim Businessperson, and facilitating the creation of the “telephone banking” number and fake Wells Fargo website.
“On January 20, 2020, Kyari sent to Abbas a biographical, identifying information for Chibuzo, along with a photograph of him. In a conversation immediately following, Abbas confirmed, ‘that is him, sir.’

“Kyari stated, ‘We have arrested the guy. He is in my cell now. This is his picture after we arrested him today.”
The document said, Kyari then sent the biographical information about, and photograph of Chibuzo to Abbas, using two different WhatsApp numbers — the second of which Kyari said was his “private number.”

“From that point on, Kyari and Abbas primarily discussed the arrest and detention of Chibuzo through WhatsApp on this ‘private number,’” the document stated further
After listening to the message, Kyari wrote, “Ok I understand. But he has not succeeded.” Abbas claimed Chibuzo had taken some money and provided Kyari with two screenshots, one of which contained the phone number 3054405586 (the phone number Chibuzo used to contact the Victim Businessperson).

*The Mistake of 1914*

“Just as British entry into Nigeria was motivated by economic reasons, so was its amalgamation into one country. The duplication of finances and personnel in running two separate colonies in the same area was an impediment to administrative efficiency. The need for British colonies to be self-financing made amalgamation a priority.

Since Northern Nigeria had no coastline and was landlocked, it did not receive customs duties, as Southern Nigeria did. This disadvantage was exacerbated because Northern Nigeria imported goods from Southern Nigeria duty-free, and its costs for transporting its goods to Southern Nigeria for export were also high.
Since Southern Nigeria received customs duties and Northern Nigeria did not, a small percentage of customs revenue from the former was sent to the latter. Yet this was not enough to offset Britain’s cost of administering Northern Nigeria. Northern Nigeria had been running on a budget deficit for ten years, during which time its revenue was not enough to meet even half its cost of administration.

*Without reform, Nigeria may be headed for a break-up*

the South-East, and leaders and militants in the South-South region have given notice of possible resumption of an insurgency in the oil-rich Niger Delta as new laws entrenching federal appropriation of resources extracted in the regions are being enacted by the centre.

The central law enforcement system has broken down beyond repair. Denied policing powers by the constitution, the states are at the mercy of criminals, unable to design and fund security systems suitable to their peculiarities.

Worse still, the Nigeria Police Force is not only understaffed, under-funded and under-equipped, it is also highly politicised and sectional. About 70 per cent of its 371,800 sworn officers, including the best trained, are attached to VIPs, from the President down to some top transport union officials; many areas in the country remain ungoverned. The Abuja-based Beacon Consulting said 1,031 persons were killed across the country in June and 390 were abducted. Boko Haram/ISWAP, Fulani herdsmen/killers and bandits are reckoned among the world’s five deadliest terror groups.

Southern States ready to Secede If Presidency goes North.
Our Military Personnel will come back home.
In a recent interview with the Edo state Deputy Governor Comrade Philip Shuaibu, he revealed that the 17 Southern States are ready to leave the Nigeria Union if their request that the presidency should be zoned to the South is not agreed to by the Northern elites.
He explained that the only thing the North has to offer Nigeria is their unproductive population which they use to intimidate the South, while the resources of the country are domiciled in Southern Nigeria.
"They should go with their population while we go with our resources."
We will ask our ppl in the armed forces to relocate back home and leave their desert for them.
The middle belt peoples can join us if they wish to, they have good Agricultural lands that can supply enough food to our new country.
Ask if he was not afraid of being persecuted by the Buhari regime he declared that "no one can arrest me as a sitting deputy Governor, I have immunity.
I have been in the struggle for freedom my entire adult life."

‘Nnamdi Kanu To Lose His British Citizenship’ – Kemi Olunloyo

Published on 9 July 2021
By Chukwuani Victoria

Controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has said that the British government is examining the worthiness of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu‘s Citizenship.

This platform earlier reports that the federal government of Nigeria recently arrested Nnamdi Kanu, leader of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB

According to Kemi via her Facebook, Nnamdi Kanu is likely to lose British citizenship due to several attempts to destabilize a commonwealth country. She also added that he’d not be able to travel to the United States, as his British passport is also banned from use to travel into America.

Read her post below; ‘ (NEW) ‘1. Nnamdi Kanu is 95% likely to lose his British citizenship due to several attempts to destabilize A COMMONWEALTH COUNTRY. Instead of fighting Buhari face to face, he chickens out calling for the British Home Office. Now those ones want to get rid of him from their diplomatic baggage.

2. The US State Department is reportedly placing Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB counterparts on a No Fly list. They cannot fly into the US. IPOB boys are denied visa entry and Kanu’s British passport banned from use to travel into America. Continue worshiping your leader who will ultimately ruin your life.’
