Biafra Genocide, the true story and the boasting confession of the actors.

Permit me to begin by qouting the words and sharing the research of Mr. Anayo Johnpaul. He wrote:

"Shocking revelations of the hatred for Igbos and how the north used the Nigerian Federal troops and locals in the South-West and
North to commit genocide with the help of Great Britain and America during the civil war.

Here are some excerpts from the confessions of the PERPETRATORS:

“I want to see no Red Cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no Pope, no missionary, no UN delegation. I want to prevent even one Ibo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves and when our troops march into the centre of Ibo territory, we shoot at everything, even things that do not move” (Benjamin Adekunle, Commander, 3rd Marine Commander Division, Nigerian Army to French Radio Reporter).

“All is fair in war, and starvation is one of the weapons of war. I don’t see why we should feed our enemies fat in order for them to fight harder”, (Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Nigerian Minister of Finance, July 28, 1969)

“Until now efforts to relieve the Biafran people have been thwarted by the desire of the central government to pursue total and unconditional victory and by the fear of the Ibo people that surrender means wholesale atrocities and genocide. But genocide is what is taking place right now and starvation is the grim reaper. This is not the time to stand on ceremony, or go through channels or to observe diplomatic niceties. The destruction of an entire people is immoral objective, even in the most moral of wars. It can never be condoned”, (Richard Nixon, during the presidential campaign, September 9, 1968)

“Federal troops killed, or stood while mobs killed, more than 5000 Ibos in Warri, Sapele, Agbor” (New York Times, 10th January, 1968).

“Its (mass starvation) is a legitimate aspect of war (Anthony Enahoro, Nigerian Commissioner for Information at a press conference in New York, July 1968)

“Starvation is a weapon of war, and we have every intention of using it against the rebels” (Mr Alison Ayida, Head of Nigerian delegation, Niamey Peace talks, July 1968.)

“The Igbos must be considerably reduced in number”, Lagos Policeman quoted in New York Review 21 December, 1967)

“One word now describes the policy of the Nigerian military government towards secessionist Biafra: genocide. It is ugly and extreme but it is the only word which fits Nigeria’s decision to stop international Red Cross and other relief agencies from flying food to Biafra ( Washington Post editorial, July 2, 1969).

“In some areas in the East, Igbos were killed by local people with at least the acquiescence of the Federal forces, 1000 Igbo civilians perished in Benin in this way” (Max Edward Reporter, reporter on the ground - New York Review, 21 December 1967).

“After federal forces take over Benin, troops killed about 500 Igbo civilians after a house to house search with the aid of willing locals” (Washington Morning Post, 27 September, 1967)

“The greatest single massacre occurred in the Igbo town of Asaba where 700 Igbo male were lined up and shot as terrified women/children were forced to watch” (London Observer, 21 January,1968)

“Federal troops killed or stood by while mobs killed more than 5000 Ibos in Warri, Sapele, Agbor (New York Times, 10th January, 1968).

“There has been genocide on the occasion of the 1966 massacres, the region between the towns of Benin and Asaba where only widows and orphans remain, federal troops having, for unknown reasons, massacred all the men” (Paris Le Monde, 5th April, 1968)

“In Calabar, federal forces shot at least 1000 and perhaps 2000 Igbos, most of them civilians” (New York Times, 18th January,1968)

“Bestialities and indignities of all kinds were visited on the Biafrans in 1966. In Ikeja Barracks (Western Nigeria) Biafrans were forcibly fed on a mixture of human urine and faeces. In Northern Nigeria numerous housewives and nursing mothers were violated before their husbands and children. Young girls were abducted from their homes, walking places and schools and forced into intercourse with sick, demented and leprous men” (Mr Eric Spiff, German War Correspondent, eyewitness, 1967)

“650 refugee camps, contained about 700,000 haggard bundles of human flotsam waiting hopelessly for a meal, outside the camps, was the reminder of an estimated four and half to five million displaced Kwashiokor scourge, a million and half children, suffer(ed) from it during January; that put the forecast death toll at another 300,000 children. More than the pogroms of 1966, more than the war casualties, than the terror bombings, it was the experience of watching helplessly their children waste away and die that gave birth to, a deep and unrelenting loathing. It is a feeling that will one day reap bitter harvest unless” (Frederick Forsyth, British Writer, January 21st 1969)

“The Nazis had resurrected just here as Nigerian forces” (Washington Post, editorial, July 2, 1969).

“The loss of life from starvation continues at more than 10,000 persons per day over 1,000,000 lives in recent months. Without emergency measures now, the number will climb to 25,000 per day, within a month and 2,000,000 deaths by the end of the year. The new year will only bring greater disaster to people caught in the passion of fratricidal war, we cant allow this to continue or those responsible to go free” (Senator Kennedy appeals to Americans Sunday November 17, 1968)

“Myself and the same UNICEF representatives went on to convey something of what lay behind this intransigence: Among the large majority hailing from that tribe who are the most vocal in inciting the complete extermination of the Igbos. I often heard remarks that all Nigeria’s ills will be cured once the Igbos have been exterminated from the human map.” (Dr Conor Cruise O’Bien, 21 December, 1967, New York Review". (CONCLUDED).

MR. JOHNPAUL HAS DONE THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE GENERALLY AND THE IGBO IN PARTICULAR A GREAT SERVICE BY DOING THE RESEARCH AND UNEARTHING THESE QOUTATIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS.

AS HARROWING AS THEY ARE THESE WORDS ACCURATELY CAPTURE THE MOOD AND ESSENCE OF THR CIVIL WAR AND THAT HORRIFIC CHAPTER IN OUR HISTORY.

I CAN CONFIRM THAT EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS WRITTEN IS AN AUTHENTIC AND ACCURATE QUOTATION FROM THE SOURCES THAT HE HAS ATTRIBUTED THEM TO.

NOW MY TAKE ON ALL THIS IS AS FOLLOWS BY FEMI KAYODE ( FFK)

CAN OFFERING THE IGBO "MORE CAKE" AS SOME HAVE SUGGESTED MAKE UP FOR ALL WE HAVE DONE TO THEM AND SUBJECTED THEM TO?



CAN THE THE DREAM OF BIAFRA BE SHATTERED AND OBLITERATED BY PROMISES OF CRUMBS FROM THE MASTERS TABLE, ATTEMPTS TO BREAK THEIR SPIRITS AND WIPE THEM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH OR THREATS OF ANNIHILATION AND DEATH FROM THEIR OPPRESSORS?

I THINK NOT.

I AM A MAN OF PEACE AND I BELIEVE THAT WAR IS EVIL. IT IS UTTERLY REPUGNANT AND MANIFESTLY DESTRUCTIVE.

IT IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DESCENT INTO MADNESS, BARBARISM AND INHUMANITY AND THOSE THAT GLORIFY IT OR ENCOURAGE IT IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM ARE EITHER SHALLOW, NAIVE OR SIMPLY INSANE.

YET DESPITE THAT ONE THING THAT I KNOW IS THIS: IF, GOD FORBID, THERE WERE EVER TO BE ANY MAJOR CONFLICT OR WAR IN NIGERIA AGAIN THE IGBO WOULD NOT BE LEFT TO FIGHT IT ON THEIR OWN.

IF, GOD FORBID, THERE WERE TO EVER BE ROUND TWO I HAVE LITTLE DOUBT THAT THIS TIME AROUND THE ENTIRE SOUTH AND THE MIDDLE BELT WOULD STAND TOGETHER AS ONE AGAINST OUR COMMON OPPRESSORS AND THOSE THAT KILL AND SLAUGHTER OUR PEOPLE AT WILL IN THE NAME OF ETHNIC SUPREMACY AND FAITH.

I PRAY IT NEVER HAPPENS AND I PRAY THAT WE EITHER RESTRUCTURE THIS COUNTRY OR PEACEFULLY GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

THOSE THAT RESIST THAT COURSE ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE AND ARE SITTING ON A KEG OF GUNPOWDER.

WHEN IT IGNITES NO-ONE WILL BE LEFT STANDING, NO-ONE WILL COME OUT WHOLE AND NO-ONE WILL ESCAPE BEING AMONGST THE VICTIMS OF THE CATACLYSMIC AND HORRENDOUS EVENTS THAT WILL FOLLOW.

AS A MATTER OF URGENCY WE MUST ALL PRAY FERVENTLY FOR PEACE IN THIS COUNTRY. WE MUST COUNSEL AND ENCOURAGE RESTRAINT, UNDERSTANDING AND PATIENCE FROM ALL SIDES.

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL WE MUST FIND IT IN OUR HEARTS TO DISPLAY AND EXPRESS A HIGH DEGREE OF REGRET AND CONTRITION FOR WHAT WE DID TO THE IGBO AND PAY COMPENSATION AND MAKE RESTITUTION FOR WHAT WE SUBJECTED THEM TO BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE CIVIL WAR.

GOD DEMANDS IT AND JUSTICE REQUIRES IT.

My wish NNAMDI KANU the leader of IPOB to BIAFRA.

TEARS IS STILL ROLLING FROM MY EYES EVER SINCE I READ THIS LETTER!

#LetterFromNnamdiKanu.

I AM NNAMDI KANU , I SAY FIGHT ON GREAT PEOPLE UNTIL VICTORY IS ACHIEVED. THIS STRUGGLE MUST CONTINUE, VICTORY FOR BIAFRA RESTORATION IS NEAR. I SHALL NEVER BETRAY YOU NEITHER SHALL I GIVE UP, AND I RATHER DIE GETTING BIAFRA THAN LIVING WITHOUT THE FREEDOM FOR ALL BIAFRANS AS GOD HAS MANDATED.

I am Nnamdi Kanu ,the Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Director of Radio Biafra/Biafra Tv and the commander of Biafra loyal armed forces.
I stand for truth, equity, fairness ,justice, and freedom.
Never forget my commandment,
If you love me keep keep my command.
IF ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME BURN NIGERIA DOWN, CHASE ALL THE GOVERNORS, MINISTERS AND ALL THE ENEMIES OF BIAFRA IN THE 36 STATES OF THIS DARKNESS CALLED NIGERIA TO THE COUNTRIES THEY MAY RUN TO, KILL ALL OF THEM WITH THIER CHILDREN. DESTROY ALL THEIR INVESTMENT BOTH HOME AND ABROAD. MAKE SURE THIER GENERATION IS TERMINATED COMPLETELY.
Before I continue, let me quickly analyze the meaning of my Name. NNAMDI KANU. It literary means (MY FATHER LIVETH) Referring to (CHUKWU OKIKE ABIAMA)
I am Nnamdi Kanu i must stand to defend my Nation Biafra even if leeds to my Death
I am Nnamdi Kanu i will Destroy the enemies of Biafra the (NIGERIA/BRITISH) with only (Truth)
Never shall I be recognized as a Nigerian because Nigeria is not my Home, it’s a man made contraption created to last and expired after 100 years. Biafra is my Nation which has no expiring date an has lasted for more than 500 years
Under no circumstances shall I give up this struggle because God says I shall come, and even if the world is silent, I shall continue to reject their material offers until victory for Biafrans is achieved.
I am Nnamdi Kanu, They came with many strategies just to trick me into signing off my quest for Biafra and gain my personal freedom , little did they knew that I am more intelligent and determined ,I refused all their offers because the freedom of my People Biafrans is paramount to me and their freedom is the freedom of Nnamdi Kanu.
The seasonless killing of Biafrans is the seasonless killing of Nnamdi Kanu.
The Cry of the BIAFRAN youths is the Cry of Nnamdi Kanu.
The rapping and killing of our mothers and sister in our farmland by the Hausa/Fulani cattle headers is also that of NNAMDI KANU .
The untimely death of Biafrans due to bad road situations in Biafra Land is that of Nnamdi Kanu.
The cry of our parents living withing the river line areas they called South/South due to the environmental damage caused by Shell in our land is also that of Nnamdi Kanu.
The Ohaneze Ndigbo, who always took Bribe never to talk about the welfare of their children and that of their children's children and the development of their region, those that has been bought with a pot of soup kicking against Biafra restoration. I am currently suffering from a heavy heart full of disappoint with these red cap chiefs at the moment because I want their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to be free of this mental and physical slavery.
I am Nnamdi Kanu, what have I done wrong to you all that hated me with passion? Did i do anything wrong by standing gallantly for the future of your yet unborn children? Do you know that I love you from the depth of my heart?
Before I came, there was nothing like (IPOB) ,but Under my leadership it was established, and UNITED NATIONA gave us observation status as the Indigenous people of Biafra duly registered and they gave us right to agitate for our freedom. Do you know that freedom fighting is legal? Do you know that all the great nations today fought and gain their freedom through this same process we are taking? why are you then afraid to join this movement when you have your right to do so?
Before I came, there was no radio station speaking, protecting and propagating the affair of the Indigenous People of Biafra to the world, you were formally in darkness, and I brought light unto you through Radio Biafra with the help of my Deputy Mazi Uche mefor and Barrister Emma Mezu. And you can see the effect today.
Do you know that I left my business and luxurious life i should enjoy as a Prince born and brought up in a palace , now I am from a Palace to Prison just because of my Love for you
I am Nnamdi KanuToday you can be proud to say you are a Biafra even before a battalion of Soldiers without been afraid or harmed.
Before I came, the (word) "Biafra" was not recognized by MS WORD (MICROSOFT WORD). But today you can type in the WORD (Biafra), and it won't be underlined, it will be recognized.
Before I came, Many people thought and believed that Biafra is of the Igbo speaking people alone, little did they knew that a man from Ijaw, Igede, Isobo, Igbanke, Igboakiri, Ibibio ETC 're more Biafran than the IGBO speaking Biafra because these are the same family from the same Progenitor (GAD) the father of (ERI, ARELI AND ARODI) . Today they are reuniting and recognizing themselves as one Big and Happy family of GOD (UMUCHINEKE)
Before I came, the mighty world media such as BBC, CNN, ALJAZEERA, FRANCE 24, etc. were not talking about Biafra, but today Biafra restoration program has been their HEADLINES and topics.
I am Nnamdi Kanu i have been held against my wish, when I appeared in the Court on 23rd of November,
When I saw and heard the voice of the crowd chanting my names and singing Biafra freedom song within the court premises that day in ABUJA, MY heart was ever more stronger than it was, i smile and say YES they are formidable indeed. I knew you people will never disappoint me because I am here for the sake of you and your generation unborn.
I am here because I LOVE YOU ALL, I am here because of you even those that hated me with passion, I am here because I trust in your togetherness and one voice for my freedom and that of all Biafrans.
I knew that everyone will not be a freedom Fighter but if record has it that only 3% of AMERICANS supported their freedom firing led by JOHN WASHINGTON and their freedom was finally granted unto them through war, how much more the mammoth crowd of BIAFRANs both home an abroad? to all of you Brave men and women who have stood gallantly in support of this movement that will lead to our total sovereignty. I want to say, thank you, thank you to our MOTHERS, from AKWA-IBOM. CROSS RIVERS, RIVERS, BAYELSA, DELTA, EBONYI, ENUGU, ANAMBRA, IMO AND ABIA STATE, I am grateful for all our mothers because you gave birth to these great men and women of honor, those sons, and daughters that always protest for my release under the Sun and rain .My thanks to all the fathers too who allowed their children to join (IPOB MEETINGS) across Biafra Land.
FIGHT ON THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT, LET THE STRUGGLE CONTINUE, DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY THOSE THAT MAY COME WITH BRIBE MONEY, WHICH THEY HAVE STOLEN FROM YOUR LAND.
FIGHT ON THE GREAT PEOPLE FROM THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN. FIGHT ON UNTIL THIS CHAIN OF SLAVERY is completely BROKEN. I ASSURE YOU THAT THE CHAIN IS BROKEN ALREADY WE NEED TO PUSH MORE HARDER UNTIL ITS TOTALLY REMOVED FROM OUR HANDS AND LEGS.
I AM NNAMDI KANU; I AM READY TO DIE FOR BIAFRA, IF YOU ARE A REAL SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF BIAFRA , IF YOU ARE YOU READY TO DIE FOR YOUR FREEDOM? IT IS THE RIGHT TIME TO JOIN THIS STRUGGLE NOW.
MY TEARS OF JOY WAS UNCONTROLLABLE WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY PRISON, REMEMBERING THE NOICE AND THE FACES OF THE MARGINALIZED AND OPPEREST PEOPLE I AM FIGHTING FOR, IT LIFTED MY SPIRIT SO HIGH, I AM NOW CONFIDENT THAT I HAVE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHOM I SHALL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AS YOU FIGHT ON.
I AM NNAMDI KANU I NEED THE FREEDOM OF MY PEOPLE THE BIAFRANS.

IPOB PRESS RELEASE; WHY WE PARTED WAYS WITH THE CRIMINAL ELITES, OHANEZE NDIGBO UNDER NWODO.

READ AND SHAREWIDE...

WHY WE PARTED WAYS WITH NWODO-----IPOB

It has become absolutely necessary to reply Chief Nnia Nwodo, on his Aso Villa sponsored umbrage on the great and noble IPOB and our humble leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Chief Nwodo’s F.G- backed tissue of lies which was designed to blackmail and paint us as violent, disrespectful and unintelligent bunch of ingrates is only an arm of the war declared on us by the Federal Government of Nigeria, using resources earned from the oil coming out of the sacred land of Biafra.

We begin by reminding Nwodo, that our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu represents the righteous anger of the much abused, much betrayed masses of Eastern region, who have watched helplessly for 47 years as their so called leaders traded away their collective future for peanuts; who have lost all faith in the sincerity of the elders to stand up like men to defend, promote and protect the younger generation, who have been sentenced to a life of eternal servitude by the oppressor and owners of Nigeria, with the active connivance of the pliant pseudo leaders who pretend, they care about our plight.

Here are some of the reasons we parted ways with Nwodo and his cabal.

1. When our leader visited Chief Nwodo at his residence in Enugu, on a courtesy call, Nwodo deliberately arranged a top American official of the U.S Embassy to appear and confirm the presence of our leader at his residence. We were shocked, disappointed and let down at the fact, that he could not resist the temptation to trade with the visit of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to his residence. We have always known though, that most of our so called leaders have always been agents of intelligence agencies of local and foreign powers.

2. When we paralyzed Biafraland on 30th May this year and the oppressor panicked and responded with a quit notice, the F.G. immediately reached out to all the zones, Nwodo moved his train to Abuja and met with the Acting President, Osinbajo and announced that check points and appointments into Buhari’s government were our only grouse with Nigeria. This is a blatant lie because our leader agreed with Nwodo that Nigeria must show commitment towards addressing our key demand which is referendum.

Nwodo did not inform our leader, that a meeting was scheduled with Osinbajo despite the fact that IPOB agitation was what led to the meeting being convened in the first place. Nwodo did not ask for our input or grouse with Nigeria before going to demand for a few ministerial appointments for his friends at the expense of our freedom as a people. He and his gang rushed to Abuja and told Osinbajo, that all we ever wanted were more appointments into the APC government. Again, we were shocked to the marrow that OHANEZE leadership has misread the mood of the people and willing to reach a deal with Abuja that will in perpetuity hold us down as a conquered people. Nwodo and his petty cabal drew up a list of potential appointees and gave this list to the acting President.

3. When the Presidency without provocation launched into a tirade of hate speech against our leader by calling him a tout, a nonentity and a scoundrel who is not regarded as a leader and therefore wasn’t and will never be invited to any meeting at Aso Rock, Nwodo and his local cabal rejoiced and grinned from ear to ear in excitement as the insults on our leader by Garba Shehu, somebody Onochie, etc. continued unabated soon after the Abuja meeting.

There has not been, till date any effort by Nwodo and co to counter or correct the statements by Garba Shehu and other hangers on of the Buhari administration but rather all that Nwodo demanded was mere political appointments that will benefit only his family and his co-conspirators. Everybody knows this is not what IPOB want or demanding for. We are demanding for a referendum to determine if Biafrans want to remain in Nigeria or not, considering our slave status which the likes of Nwodo appear to be benefiting from. Referendum is the only process that would allow Nwodo and his gang to convince the people in an open debate, why Nigeria is a better option than Biafra not through persecution of IPOB. Nwodo, clearly betrayed our trust and traded away our struggle for independence for mere appointments, which by the way, are yet to come.

4. Nwodo went to Anambra State House of Assembly to disparage our leader for demanding that the hopelessly oppressed people of Eastern Nigeria, most especially Anambra State would henceforth embark on civil disobedience and passive resistance which includes election boycotts. Nwodo went around government houses collecting money and raining insults on IPOB leadership. He even decreed that he has “countermanded” our decision to boycott elections. Nwodo deliberately turned himself into an enemy of the people in order to advance his personal dream of packaging himself as the most qualified Easterner for Vice Presidential nomination for 2019.

5. Nwodo, like everybody else, knows that crowd that attend IPOB rallies and events number in their millions, yet till date no single incident of violence has ever been recorded at any of our gatherings. So, where does the appellation of a violent group come from? This is a question Nwodo must answer. Everybody knows it for a fact that Nwodo inspired the governors to join the well orchestrated Arewa persecution IPOB and it's leader—as if that will stop us, because we chose Prof Ben Nwabueze to lead our negotiations with government rather than the irredeemably corrupt Ohaneze.

He was piqued that every effort he made to join our meeting with the governors at Enugu was turned down, even when the governors pleaded that he and another politician join us during the photo session. That too was turned down by our leader. Nwodo went into a rage and conspired with the Northern Army (his masters all his life) and the governors to unleash military backed violent attack on defenceless citizens in the hope that such a murderous blow will destroy IPOB. His rage is simple: if he is not in charge, then nobody should.

6. Nwodo held a meeting in Abuja with Presidency officials, where Python Dance was planned and approved. Nwodo mounted pressure on the governors to proscribe IPOB as if mere banning of rallies and public gatherings were capable of destroying IPOB, how mistaken they are. Same Nwodo embarked on public relations onslaught by touring hostile media houses to deceive the masses that his hands are clean, when in actual fact he is the brain behind the genocidal Operation Python Dance II and murderous raid on Kanu's home. We know his hands are not clean, nobody is deceived one bit.

7. Nwodo has always been a slave of the caliphate and a proud lap dog of Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar. Instances abound where Nwodo, even as Ohaneze President General, attended events on behalf of and in representative capacity for Abdulsalami Abubakar. When Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi foisted him on Ohanaeze in January this year, he embarked on image laundering by picking up restructuring agenda and repeating it everywhere as if he has ever believed in it. Nwodo has never mentioned or advocated restructuring of Nigeria in his over 3000 press interviews in all his 65 years on earth, anywhere before January 2017.

His political learning has always been pro North, from NPN to the APP. He mentioned restructuring Nigeria for the very first time in his life, only after he was made Ohanaeze President General and realising that without IPOB his administration will be as unmemorable as that of his predecessor. He was not part of the highly respected team of elders who worked hard over many years to water the ground by successfully selling the restructuring Agenda. Nwodo merely jumped into the band wagon of restructuring because he saw that IPOB has reshaped the political landscape. He had no choice than to buy into it. He has never been one of those who advanced the restructuring Agenda for many years now.

8. Nwodo is piqued and pissed that we did not allow him to trade with the great IPOB and present himself as the overall leader of Eastern Nigeria, thereby packaging himself as the ultimate VP choice for 2019. We have nothing against his secret and hidden political ambitions. We wish him luck. It’s just that Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB will not be available for him to trade off. We will always prefer men like the 87 year old Prof Ben Nwabueze, First Republic Minister Mbazuluike Amechi and the upright Archbishop Anthony Obinna to lead us to any meeting with government. Nwodo can get as mad as he wants to and proceed to invite the Army to come and scatter the meeting, simply because we refused to allow him to lead our delegation but that won't deter nor even slow us down. IPOB is simply unstoppable!

How can we destroy our struggle by allowing ourselves to be led to a meeting by a man who believes that our struggle should only be used to garner appointments from this Buhari’s caliphate government. We respect and remain in very good terms with upright, sincere leaders, elders from across Biafraland and beyond. We will always stay away from hustlers and agents of Northern leaders who strive to use our blood to advance their personal gains. We know that the whole world, the EU, the UN, the USA and the suffering masses of Nigeria, know that we are not a violent organization. We are not bothered by false accusations from Nwodo and South East governors.

Moreover, he Nwodo and his allies that have served Northerners all their lives and got rewarded with ministerial appointments, what else can they show for all the years of loyal service to Arewa caliphate or in what way have they positively impacted on the lives of ordinary people. Nwodo and his lies will never be part of our righteous struggle to free ourselves from the bondage inflicted on us through active connivance of those like Nwodo and their gangs. On the 18th of November 2017, the walls of Jericho will come falling down flat. IPOB is indestructible and incorruptible, Nwodo and his gang of Hausa Fulani slaves are about to discover this immutable truth.

COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOBWHY WE PARTED WAYS WITH NWODO-----IPOB

Nwodo merely jumped into the band wagon of restructuring because he saw that IPOB has reshaped the political landscape. He had no choice than to buy into it. He has never been one of those who advanced the restructuring Agenda for many years now.

8. Nwodo is piqued and pissed that we did not allow him to trade with the great IPOB and present himself as the overall leader of Eastern Nigeria, thereby packaging himself as the ultimate VP choice for 2019. We have nothing against his secret and hidden political ambitions. We wish him luck. It’s just that Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB will not be available for him to trade off. We will always prefer men like the 87 year old Prof Ben Nwabueze, First Republic Minister Mbazuluike Amechi and the upright Archbishop Anthony Obinna to lead us to any meeting with government. Nwodo can get as mad as he wants to and proceed to invite the Army to come and scatter the meeting, simply because we refused to allow him to lead our delegation but that won't deter nor even slow us down. IPOB is simply unstoppable!

How can we destroy our struggle by allowing ourselves to be led to a meeting by a man who believes that our struggle should only be used to garner appointments from this Buhari’s caliphate government. We respect and remain in very good terms with upright, sincere leaders, elders from across Biafraland and beyond. We will always stay away from hustlers and agents of Northern leaders who strive to use our blood to advance their personal gains. We know that the whole world, the EU, the UN, the USA and the suffering masses of Nigeria, know that we are not a violent organization. We are not bothered by false accusations from Nwodo and South East governors.

Moreover, he Nwodo and his allies that have served Northerners all their lives and got rewarded with ministerial appointments, what else can they show for all the years of loyal service to Arewa caliphate or in what way have they positively impacted on the lives of ordinary people. Nwodo and his lies will never be part of our righteous struggle to free ourselves from the bondage inflicted on us through active connivance of those like Nwodo and their gangs. On the 18th of November 2017, the walls of Jericho will come falling down flat. IPOB is indestructible and incorruptible, Nwodo and his gang of Hausa Fulani slaves are about to discover this immutable truth.
