Buhari suspends opening of Obiano's Anambra Airport, sites insecurity as reason.

Meanwhile Airports in the North are open and running. The other day, Bandits as they call them, attacked Abuja train and blew up its rail tracks, Buhari didn't suspend its operations siting insecurity but they instead fixed it within 3 days and it's back up and running right now like nothing happened. No military action, and nobody is been arrested.

Just imagine if that had happened in the South East they would have declared operation elephant fly, to reduce our population like they're doing right now. 🙄

In Anambra, they've suspended the opening of the....I don't even know what kind of Airport this is...but they're insisting that the Anambra election must hold. It's always politics for them before anything else. 🤷🏾‍♂️

This is what we have been talking about, today he has become a custom officer. I posted this video of this same man when he was turning around in salutation like imbec*l, then I never knew he was this known terrorist that has killed thousands of people.
Most of the soldiers deployed in South East mostly in Imo state were recruited boko haram. can’t you see how they setting houses and properties of people ablaze in Izombe?

Indirect war has been declared on our people.
They are using repentant boko haram to wage war against our people.
Either we stop them or they bu*n down our villages .

Posters For Emeka Ihedioha for Vice President Surface Online (Photos)

Campaign poster of Emeka Ihedioha, former Governor of Imo State who was sacked by the Supreme Court, has emerged online.

The campaign poster poster circulating on social media has Emeka Ihedioha as running mate to his former boss and Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, as president.

The sudden appearance of the campaign posters bearing the picture of the former Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, is generating controversy among members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The posters which appeared in two different designs with both Tambuwal and Ihedioha, dressed in corporate and traditional attires, claim that only the alliance could rescue Nigeria from the brink of collapse.

This is coming on the heels of the emergence of Emeka Ihedioha’s long time political foe, Senator Samuel Anyanwu (Sam Daddy), as the Southern consensus candidate for the post of National Secretary of the PDP in the upcoming National Congress.

Senator Sam Daddy’s has become a source of debate among political pundits who are predicting that it could mean the end of Ihedioha’s political career.

Senator Anyanwu and Ihedioha has been in a political battle of sorts, with the former taking the latter up to the Supreme Court to contest the results of the PDP governorship primaries between the two in 2019.

Ihedioha who has unsuccessfully contested two times to be Governor of Imo State might be giving up hopes of going back to polls for the office of the Governor.

This would add to the seeming internal crisis rocking the PDP in recent time.

Slogan on the campaign poster reads: “For equity and fairness 2023.”
Meanwhile, the former governor is yet to react to the poster currently trending on social media.

OPERATION NO NIGERIA FLAG BEGINS IN BIAFRA LAND FROM OCTOBER 1ST - IPOB

IPOB PRESS RELEASE | 25▪︎09▪︎2021

In line with the Memorandum of Understanding, MOU and alliance between Ambazonia and Biafra nations, we the global family of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to ask Biafrans to support and celebrate Ambazonia Independence Anniversary on October 1st 2021.

It is therefore, the delight of the Directorate Of State, DOS of our great movement, IPOB, that we inform Biafrans all over the world of this up-coming Independence Day Celebration of our great ally and neighbour, the Ambazonian people billed for 1st of October 2021.

We advise Biafrans to stand with Ambazonia people as they celebrate their God-given freedom and independence. We should bear in mind that our brothers and sisters in Ambazonia are passing through persecutions in the hands of murderous Cameroonian Government just like Biafrans are facing similar ordeals in the hands of Fulani controlled federal government of Nigeria that sympathatises with terrorsts but kills peaceful agitators .

We therefore urge world leaders to use the opportunity of the on-going United Nations General Assembly, UNGA meeting to discuss the sufferings of the two persecuted nations of Biafra and Ambazonia. Our people have suffered enough in the hands of our oppressors who are in bed with terrorists but derive pleasure in crushing peaceful agitators instead of addressing our genuine concerns.

The two old men leading Cameroon and Nigeria - Paul Biya, and Muhammed Buhari, should be made to answer for the on-going secret genocide by security operatives and Fulani jihadists against the peace-loving indigenous people of Biafra, and Ambazonia. Why have they chosen to decimate us but spare, encourage and even grant amnesty to murderous Fulani bandits on rampage throughout the whole North and Nigeria.

IPOB has declared 1st of October 2021 total shutdown in Biafra land as a sign of our rejection of the evil construct called Nigeria and there shall be no movement in Biafra land on this day. Also IPOB has declared from today 25th September 2021 that all Nigerian flag mounted anywhere in Biafra land must be brought down, Banks exceptional, IPOB leadership will communicate to Banks directly and give them reason they must peacefully bring down Nigeria flag in their banking premises before we do it ourselves in our own way.

Every body must strictly adhere to this directives from IPOB leadership, we want to let the world know you that Biafraland is not Nigeria and shall not be. Don't say I don't know, a word is enough for the wise.

He built over 100 industrial and commercial enterprises across Imo,Abia and part of Ebonyi. He built thousands of miles of durable roads. He set up world class educational and medical facilities including Imo state university. He built the first independent power plant in Nigeria. He developed housing estates.

He built an airport. He extended public water to all nooks and crannies. He electrified practically every community.

He developed a perfect master plan for urban and semi urban areas. He built the most sophisticated urban drainage system in Nigeria. He introduced Sulo a very efficient waste management system. He had only one house he built in his village before becoming a governor. He accomplished all these and more yet died a pauper.

ADVICE TO EZIGBO UMUCHINEKE

Ezigbo Umuchineke, if by now the hardcore believers in our strenght of character, are still unaware of the fact that millions of Naira has been deployed to boost the infiltrators' exploits in their su***de mission, both online and offline,then you have to be properly guided.
You may not realize that Men are really at work here. The mission is simple, destroy them, create more confusion for them, do it under the pretense that you are part of them, so that the gullibles among them can fall for the tricks. Please Umuchineke, stop indulging them or clapping for them because they are on a SPECIAL MISSION. You can easily identify these marauders, because by their fruit you shall know them.

But by virtue of my position as the Lead Counsel to Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, I can easily separate the wheat from the chaff. "Maka na Agadi nwanyi adighi aka nka na egwu omalu agba".

They did it in 2015/2016, but I surmounted them single handedly, I am very farmiliar with the game, and style of their dancing steps but their evil plans are already dead on arrival, they can't go far.

It is to be noted therefore, that in this critical moment,PEACE and DISCIPLINE should be the ultimate guide. What we crave for is your prayers only.

Be assured that we in the legal team cannot be distracted at all, because we don't share the same evil mission with these infiltrators.

Our mission is simple, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's freedom within the shortest possible time. Thankfully, the Almighty Chukwuokike Abiama is speedily working it out, and it shall all end in praises.

Ka Chukwuokike Abiama chekwa opupu unu dum na mbata unu, site ugbua wee rue mgbe ebighi ebi.

EFCC Arrests Former Governor Ihedioha's Deputy (Photos)

A chieftain of the PDP and former Deputy Governor to the Imo State Government, Chief Gerard Alphonsus Irona, was yesterday arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

According to documents obtained by Nigerian News Daily, the former Deputy and ally to erstwhile Governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, has been on the Commission's watch list.

Chief Gerard Irona was intercepted at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja at about 10:00AM hours on Thursday and moved to the headquarters of the EFCC at Jabi, Abuja for interrogation.

Chief Irona, a former member of the Federal House of Representatives for Oguta/Ohaji Egbema/Oru West Federal Constituency, is under investigation by the EFCC for offences bordering on misappropriation of public funds and money laundering.

The former Deputy Governor is alleged to have being involved in the collection of over N400million monthly from the account of the Imo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (ISOPADEC) during the defunct administration.

He is also under allegations over the mismanagement of N5billion counterpart funding for the Rural Access Mobility Project (RAMP).

A source also confirmed that the former Deputy Governor refused to return his international passport, which was deposited with the body after he used it to travel to Dubai for medical attention last year.

Spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest of the former Deputy Governor.

IPOB PRESS RELEASE
19/08/2021

WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE KILLING OF OIL WORKERS IN IMO STATE - IPOB

The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the fabricated falsehood being peddled by our enemies that IPOB killed oil workers in Etekuru community and Asa in Ohaji council of Imo State. This is complete falsehood to tarnish our global reputation. We have no hands in such barbarity. We are not bandits or terrorists that spill blood; IPOB is a non-violent and peaceful movement whose agenda is the restoration of Biafra. Killing or maiming of innocent lives is not part of our mandate.

This won't be the first time enemies of the struggle will be linking us with such atrocity in their desperate but futile attempt to blackmail us but we are innocent of it all. We therefore, urge members of the public to disregard this unfounded propaganda which is the antics of our enemies.

A further proof that this allegation does not hold water is the fact that even before the purported killings, IPOB had in a well circulated publications at two different times, announced the cancellation of sit-at-home order on Mondays. So, on what basis will IPOB still go and enforce the same order it had suspended?

We suspended the sit at home order and anybody enforcing sit at home on the day we suspended must have been sponsored by Nigeria government and her security agencies to blackmail IPOB. We have no business with oil companies and its workers in Ohaji or any other place. The oil companies should investigate this attack thoroughly and know who was involved in this act.

IPOB is well structured movement with orderliness and Command-and Control. We are not lawless bandits. Nobody should associate us with barbaric acts typical of blood sucking terrorists and Fulani herdsmen who our men have been risking their lives to stop from taking over our ancestral land.

The world should know that jihadists have been engaged by the wicked security agencies to perpetrate heinous crimes in Biafra land especially Imo State to demonise Estern Security Network, ESN, and justify the ongoing hunt for the operatives. We have been raising this alarm a long time ago but many people didn't believe us. Now it's happening before us all.

Jihadists and vampires are now on the prowl in Biafra land with the back up of Nigeria security agents to depopulate our people and distabilise Biafra land. Unfortunately, some of the stooges masquerading as political leaders in Biafra land are colluding with the enemies to execute this evil agenda. But nemesis will catch up with them over the innocent blood they are spilling.

We have equally severally explained that ESN is not unknown gunmen. ESN is a child of necessity defending Biafra farmlands against invading murderous herdsmen. People should stop buying into the lies of security agencies parading criminals and forcing them to claim that they are ESN operatives. Our gallant men are still on their duty posts carrying out their singular mandate which is chasing away Killer herdsmen.

Nigeria is a secular state with no official religion, so what is Arabic doing on our currency and on our military logo?

I was shocked in 2014 when I realise the Arabic inscription on the NIGERIAN military badge logo and our currency.

Before you said that, it does not mean anything. Please kindly answer these questions:

Is Saudi Arabia our colonial masters?

Is Arabic language our official language?

In my own opinion, I think DOS should lead the struggle 100%. They should take decisions without seeking 's opinion. But should MNK sends in a message as a Prophet he is, then we consider it.

We must let them understand that DOS can lead this struggle even if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not there.

DOS sounding like they take orders from MNK will not only delay his stay in DSS dungeon, but also will put his life in danger.

His leading from the inside will kind of show to them that destroying the leader is destroying the movement. We must avoid this.

This is the time for us to stand tall in defense of both our freedom and freedom of our leader.

We don't know the situation of things with MNK.

To free MNK, it must be something that will come from the outside and not from him.

We must do the needful to free MNK.

DOS must now lead in totality. Show leadership.

▪️South East economy was crumbled when the Federal Government closed all International airport in the Eastern Region.

South East economy was crumbled when the Federal Government closed all seaports in the Eastern region, thereby forcing Biafrans to import their goods through Lagos and other northern states.

South East economy crumbled when the Federal Government frustrated Ibeto out of cement business.

South East economy was crumbled when the Federal Government closed some major pharmaceutical companies in the Eastern region.

South East economy was crumbled when the Federal Government closed all southern borders while leaving the ones in the north open.

South East economy was crumbled when Fulani herdsmen with the cover of Nigerian army took their cows to our farm and destroyed our crops.

South East economy was crumbled when the president seeks medical attention abroad with public funds while Doctors are on strike over non payment of salary.

IPOB weekly lockdown (sit at home) is to reduce the level of casualties that will result from mass action and not to crumble any economy.

To whom brain is given, sense is expected.

Our worries aside. Our disappointment apart, we must understand that this struggle is the reason we gathered.

We have made our voices heard. Those otellectuals that said we don't ask questions are now the ones defending the decision of IPOB leadership to cancel the sit at home order. Is God not wonderful? They so much love it. IPOB have once again become the FATHER FIGURE they are. IPOB in order to be all welcoming went against the feelings of their supporters to listen to those who say the sit at home should stop. IPOB got listening ears.

Brothers, I believe that the leadership must have heard us. And they already know how we feel.

We must then get back to our position. Every media warrior must get up and start doing the needful.

This struggle must be protected. What they can do is to delay us. They can never stop us.

BREAKING: IPOB Suspends Monday Sit-At-Home Protests

Relief may have come the way of political and socio-cultural leaders across the Eastern region of the country as the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB on Friday announced the suspension of the weekly sit-at-home protest which it earlier tagged "Ghost Mondays."

The announcement of the suspension of the protest which earlier aimed to fasten the release of the IPOB global leader, Nnamdi Kanu from detention, was announced by the head of the organization's Directorate Of States, DOS, Chika Edoziem in a live broadcast monitored by EWN on Friday night.

According to the IPOB leader, the sit-at-home protest will henceforth fall on days of court trail of Kanu who is incarcerated in Abuja, Nigeria's capital.

IPOB is the arrowhead of several other movements calling for the restoration of the defunct Biafran state. IPOB is calling for referendum for the people of the Eastern region to decide the exit of the Biafran nation away from Nigeria.

Court Refuses To Grant Okorocha Order To Stop EFCC, Imo State From Further State Property Recovery (Photos)


Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed of the Federal high court in Abuja on Wednesday refused to grant order of interim injunction sought by former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFFCC and Imo State government to stop them from further interfering and confiscating his properties located in various parts of the country.

The Judge held that granting the order during various challenges to the court jurisdiction in the matter will not been in the interest of justice.

Okorocha on Wednesday in Abuja had asked high court to issue a restraining order against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFFCC and Imo State government from further interfering and confiscating his properties located in various parts of the country.

Okorocha currently representing Imo West
Senatorial district in the Senate sought the order of the Court to preserve his properties pending the resolution of court cases on-going in the matter.

He complained bitterly that his properties have been marked in several states for confiscation adding that unless the preservative order was issued against EFCC and Imo State, he would be prejudiced.

His motion on notice for the sought court order was filed by his counsel and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief Oba Maduabuchi.

However, the request was vehemently opposed by EFCC and Imo State government on the ground that the court has no jurisdiction to hear Okorocha's suit.

EFCC and Imo state government are contending that the suit was not the type that can be heard during court vacation.

They further argued that Okorocha did not meet the condition precedent for the matter to be heard during vacation adding that the Fiat of the Chief Judge of the federal high court ought to be sought and obtained before such matter can be heard during vacation.

EFCC and Imo state cited Order 46 Rule 5 of the Federal high court civil procedures Rule 2019 allegedly breached by Okorocha while filing the fresh motion.

FLASH: South-East Governors, Igbo Elders Must Pay Nnamdi Kanu Visit In DSS Cell To Find Solution To Escalating Tension -- Elliot Ukoh

Prominent Igbo youth leader, Reverend Elliot Uko has faulted federal government's handling of the secession calls championed by the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB.

EWN reports that the founder and leader of the Igbo Youths Movement was instrumental to the meeting between South-Eastern governors and the now detained leader of the IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu back in 2017 in Enugu, Eastern Nigeria.

In an interview with BBC Igbo Service on Tuesday, Elliot said the Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government was to be blamed for the rising tension in the Eastern region, after noting that there had been a conspiratorial rejection of dialogue by the South-Eastern governors and the federal government headed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to Elliot, Nnamdi Kanu had severally reassured him of IPOB's readiness to table the group's demands before the federal government if it was invited for a dialogue. However, Elliot wondered why there was yet to be a dialogue with the IPOB leaders. He disclosed that his efforts to get the South-Eastern governors to arrange a meeting between the IPOB leaders and the federal government have been rejected over times.

Warning against a possible break down of law in the case of further delay, the Igbo youth leader said that in order to guarantee peace across Eastern Nigeria, the South-Eastern governors and Igbo elders must visit Kanu at the DSS cell in Abuja. According to him, the visit will provide opportunities for a cordial discussion between the IPOB leader and the governors.

"The South-East governors must go with Igbo elders to visit Nnamdi Kanu at the DSS detention facility where they can engage him in a discussion to find solutions. They must engage him in order to get the demands of his group," Elliot said during the interview.

Elliot's position is coming 24 hours after the IPOB sit-at-home order grounded commercial, social and economic activities across the Eastern Nigeria on Monday, August 9th. The group is demanding an unconditional and immediate release of its incarcerated leader, Kanu. IPOB is the frontline Biafran movement, spearheading the campaigns for the resuscitation of the defunct Biafran state, after decades of political marginalization of the Eastern region.
