The coming of Biafra will be the last miracle on this planet Earth according to our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Ohamadike(MNK) in one of his broadcasts as far back as 2014, stated that neither General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu nor Chief Raphael Uwazurike initiated the Biafra independence struggle.

Ohamadike admitted that Yeheshua (Jesus) himself was the one who initiated this Biafra independence struggle when he was teaching the apostles how to pray and he asked God that His kingdom may come on this very planet; and that Kingdom is BIAFRA.

So, coming to physical aspect of the Biafra independence struggle, one suppose to ask, why our people didn't opt to avoid another genocide like that of 1967--70 by burying the idea of Biafra independence. 

The fact remains that since the end of the genocide, many groups have emerged both fake and real to fight for the restoration of Biafra. But if we can tell ourselves the truth, we can acknowledge that IPOB under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the best and genuine among all. and has proven to remain consistent even in the face of the most uncommon intimidation by the Nigeria state.

However, every reasonable one Nigeria campaigner should know that the spirit of Biafra is Indomitable Despite the gang up against IPOB, we have not relented even one inch. It is therefore very inevitable that the world powers to know that delaying the coming of Biafra is not only dangerous but also destructive. Because, this very generation of Biafra is more formidable, more resolute and more willing to die for what we believe in than to remain in this forced marriage called Nigeria.

Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and thousands of Biafrans are languishing in different detention centers in Nigeria; but that can never stop us. IPOB is strongly prepared both spiritually and physically. 

In conclusion, we are calling on the international communities to consider the call for Biafra restoration. Our own case shouldn't be different. Biafra is all we need. And it is what we seek for as a lawful entity.

A confirmed report reaching Umuchiukwu Writers has it that the Nigerian Military invaded  Orsu-Ihitte-Ukwa,  in Orsu Local Government of Imo State yesterday being 30th August 2022 , opened fire on innocent Civilians Killing not less than five people .

According to report sent to Umuchiukwu Writers correspondents by sources who spoke on condition of anonymity , the soldiers stormed the community and opened fire on residents killing 5 people instantly. Two among the killed victims were identified as Ugochukwu Obianeli and Nonso Oga while the identities of the remaining 3 are yet to be disclosed .

However, the incident occurred in a market known as Ekeututu market area along the road to Ohukabia . According to the  report, the Military were allegedly looking for unknown Gunmen , instead of going to hunt them in their hideouts, the military went from the Market to people's houses shooting every male Youth on sight .

Nigeria Security Forces have been involved in so many extra judiciary killings in Nigeria especially in Biafra land as it is very clear that the Nigerian Presidency is hell belt on killing the Biafran ideology to soften grounds to usher in the Islamization agenda and Fulanization as Biafra region has continued to put a stop to that . The Nigerian Security agencies have been indicted with human rights violation same as Boko Haram terrorists and other terrorist organisations around the globe .

International communities should take note of these terrorism by the Nigerian Military under the supervision of the Nigerian government. We're calling for justice for all the innocent people killed by Nigeria Military for no just cause .

Biafra The Land Of Righteous Traditions And Culture

Biafra The Land Of Righteous Traditions And Culture

Great men and women of goodwill, great Biafrans friends and well-wishers, I bring greetings to you all from all corners of this planet earth.

      Igbo Tribe in their traditional attire 

It is quite unfortunate that the people of Biafra, the Easterners of the geographical expression called Nigeria in West Africa have lost their cultural heritages, traditions and values especially the Igbo Biafrans since the advent of the British government amalgamation of the Southern and Northern protectorate, the ungodly marriage has brought death, curse, greed, slavery poverty to us the Biafran people.

Before the British invasion of our land and the introduction of Christianity to our people by the British missionaries we had our civilisation growing on it's pace, decency, prosperity, agriculture, manufacturing, commerce, marriage etc and at an appreciable progress, we had our ways of doing things traditionally, we had ways and means of communication, gathering, burial, trading, worship.etc. 

     Igbo women in their traditional attire

It would be unfair and insulting to the memory of our ancestors who were in constant communication and worship of EzeChiukwuokike Abiama for thousands of years before the coming of the first Europeans into our land who were Portuguese to assume that they thought us everything we know today including the worshiping of Chiukwuokike, we are not against any religion or any form of legal worship for as long as it is globally recognised and against the shading of human blood and sacrifice, we already know God before they came to introduce the Christian religion to us, our people accepted it because they were told it is and advanced way of worship and the quickest way to reach Okike.

        Igbo men in their traditional attire

Further more I think we should be grateful to God for bringing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB who have in past 9 years been consistent in teachings on Radio Biafra and on all social media platforms, constant and responsible for closing the gap of religious ignorance among our people and creating the necessary eye opening including spiritual and religious awakening driving across our land currently, taking us back to our abandoned route, reminding us some centuries ago when there was no injection, no modern medical laboratory, no cars, no mortuary and yet our forebears lived up to 200 years and above.

            Igbo lady in traditional attire

I could recall when I was younger if someone die in our neighbourhood the person will be buried a day after his or her death without ceremony pending when the family or children will be willing to perform the mourning or burial ceremony but today it is a different case we wonder what has happened to the good old days, why have our people chosen a borrowed culture to bury their loved ones who died which is the reason we are seeing many dead bodies in the mortuaries everywhere across Biafraland and Alaigbo in particular, unknown to us it is wrecking us into poverty, making the poor poorer and bringing the rich down into debts.

Today crimes and abominable things which used to be strange to us are now living at our doorpost such as suicide, robbery, adultery, killing for money etc are now norm in Biafraland while mortuaries has become a lucrative business in our land.

The call and appeal by the IPOB leadership to our people to bury their dead within three days of death is one of the greatest thing to happen to our land in the past fifty years, it further proves that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB is a gift to us, again it proves that IPOB are spiritually alive to the happenings in our land, bringing back our culture and heritage and putting a stop to the calamities, death and abomination in our land.

IGNORE CRIMINALS MISREPRENTING IPOB'S CALLS FOR PROMPT BURIAL OF THE DEAD AS A THREAT TO BIAFRANS -IPOB

IGNORE CRIMINALS MISREPRENTING IPOB'S CALLS FOR PROMPT BURIAL OF THE DEAD AS A THREAT TO BIAFRANS -IPOB

■ Date : 29 Aug 2022
■ Twitter:@umuchiukwu

We the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership and command of the great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU attention has been drawn to the changing of narratives by the criminal and unscrupulous element from his one room where he hide in Finland concerning an appeal IPOB made to Biafrans urging them to bury loves one promptly. As in his contract terms to impersonate or misrepresent IPOB to his ignorant followers, he has misrepresented the appeal we made to our people as a threat because he don't understand simple English language.

        Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB leader

We wish to reiterate and put the record straight regarding our previous press release towards  burying our love ones within three days or short duration as an appeal not warning or threat. 

The double agent has exhausted all his lies and blackmail against IPOB leadership using dashing computer generating fake accounts hence can't understand simple English language. Him and his sponsors think that their "abracadabra" would continue to sell. Everyone has known them as the born janjanweed in Biafraland who doesn't know nor appreciate the importance of our culture and wellbeing of our people. IPOB is not looking at the faces of the double Agents because we understand the importance of whatever actions we do and calls we make to our people or for our people.

Biafrans and Igbos in particular have been shrinking and weakening because of unknown and will continue until we evacuate numerous dead bodies stockpiled, we will shock them and we must in indulge on public orientation until people start to evacuate and stop stockpiling dead ones into mortuaries and give them burial. We appealed to Biafrans to understand and change their attitude of keeping the dead ones in mortuaries for a longer time. Moreso, we want our people to repent from lavish burial celebration which is an abaration from our culture. These actions does not only have financial implications but it also have spiritual implications on our struggle for Biafra Nation.

Again, we appeal to churches and Umunna to stop demanding levies and bills from the families of the dead ones before burying our people.

We therefore ask Biafrans especially, Ndigbos to exercise patience, digest and understand where IPOB is coming from. These are those who are condemning our recent appeal are the criminals who are beclouded with criminalities and spiritually blind and have no knowledge of our culture and what we are doing. Instead of listening to those working for our enemies, we urge you to visit your villages and ask some wise elders on the implications of keeping the dead for a long time in the montuary.

We are still appealing to our Religious Leaders, Traditional Rulers, Umuada or Umuokpu, Umunna, Governors, Legislators, LGA chairmen, PGs to  organise Seminars to educate our people on this IPOB's appeal and stop collecting levies once someone dies write off his or her debts. We cannot allow imported cultures to dilute our cherish culture which positioned Ndigbo as the most political and economic power house in Africa in the past even to the point Europeans acknowledged that democracy started from Igboland, that was the activeness of our ancestors.

In the 60s and 70s Ndigbo don't have montuaries let alone keeping the dead in the morgue, they embarmed in their homes and bury the person within three days or one week. But montuaries came into Alaigbo in the 1980s and since then it has multiplied rapidly to the point our people see mortuary business as lucrative business in our land. These montuaries dead bodies deposited into warehouse called mortuaries are sometimes allowed corpses deposited to spoil because of sometimes long  duration for a year or more. IPOB is not against montuary business but we don't encourage the abuse of our cultral values. This practice of storing the corpses in the montuary has been with us for over 30 years and can not be changed it over night. Nevertheless, if our people will understand the implications of this actions, serious effort will be made to implement IPOB's appeal urgently.

Catholic Church and other churches in Biafra land had in the past tried to implement this strategy by insisting that their dead member be buried within two weeks. However, the efforts of the churches to revert this unrighteous culture has failed.
IPOB is appealing to our people including the church to start helping and implementing burying our dead same day or within three days.
After the burial, a date of choice can be fixed for the burial ceremonies. During the ceremonies you can do all the burial rites both church and traditional rites. IPOB is not stopping anybody from performing all the burial rites as you so wish. All we are appealing to our people is to stop stockpiling corpses in the montuaries in Biafra land.

Emergence of IPOB in Biafraland is golden for Ndigbo. Although some unscrupulous elements and criminals lead by unfortunate treacherous disciple and his deluded group called autopilot without Aeroplanes are paid to counter whatever IPOB does.  IPOB is not demanding this prompt burial of dead ones to harm our people or to deceive them instead we are doing it to safeguard our people both spiritually and financially.

2023 Election : The Hope Of Igbo Biafrans Lies On Biafra Freedom Not On Nigeria President Of Igbo Extraction

2023 Election : The Hope Of Igbo Biafrans Lies On Biafra Freedom Not On Nigeria President Of Igbo Extraction

God who made the heavens and earth created all things with freedom of association, speech, worship and movement.

While following the stands of Biafrans as people in Nigeria you will discover that God's anger is on us due to our disobedience and how we have embraced our oppressors.

                       IPOB members

Since the genocidal war, some of us have found it very difficult to understand that freedom is not given but forcefully taken.
We can recall that our fathers fought a genocidal civil war defending Biafra's freedom, two decades after the war our eternal leader Dim Ikemba Odumuegwu Emeka Ojukwu joined APGA a political party in Nigeria, thinking that a solution or through that means Biafra could be restored but the corrupt electoral system of Nigeria failed him and his dreams.

How many times are we Biafrans going to be fooled?

Is it proper for you as a Freedom fighter to get involved in Nigerian politics and don't get stained?

Will the Nigerian presidency give us Biafra?

How many times have the Fulani oligarchy promised Igbo politicians the Nigerian president and failed them?

Will Igbo man becoming the President of Nigeria solve the numerous insecurity, corruption and economic problems of Nigeria?

We have to remain consistent, focused and truthful with what we want so that God will hear our cry, you can't be talking about Biafra today and tomorrow you want to be Nigerian President, it is a betrayal of the Biafra struggle and inconsistency of need.

It will be a mockery of the struggle that some of our people don't know what they want, they sing the song of freedom in the morning and Obident at night, freedom fighting is not for children not to talk of Biafra freedom, it is for men and women who understands what sacrifice is all about not for those who drink milk.

The world at the same time should know that the only solution to the insecurity problems of Nigeria is the total disintegration of Nigeria to save millions of lives.

Only Total Freedom Can Guarantee Niger Delta Full Ownership And Control Of Their Resources, Than Begging For Pipeline Security Contract

Only Total Freedom Can Guarantee Niger Delta Full Ownership And Control Of Their Resources, Than Begging For Pipeline Security Contract

Niger Delta Militant

A lost nation is one in which hungry and jobless people blindly support those responsible for their agony and misery.

As the Fulani oligarchy continues to have full control of the oil and gas in the Coastal Region of Biafra, some stricken unintelligent militants are busy releasing videos and threatening each other over the multi-billion naira oil and gas pipeline security contract awarded to a former militant leader called Government Tompolo, these are the same people Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB is fighting for to have full ownership of their resources, instead, they prefer the Fulani sitting at the NNPC towers dictating and enjoying their God-given resources while they grumble over leftovers from the table of their oppressors and fight each other to keep guards of oil and gas pipeline in their ancestral land.

Sadly, the division in the coastal region of Biafra is legendary, everybody in that region wants to have an armed squad of his own with generals and commanders being awarded contracts of oil pipeline guard.

On a more serious note, why should oil pipeline guards be awarded to the coastal region of Biafra instead of owning oil wells?
If truly Tompolo and other militants know their rights they should be the ones awarding oil pipeline security guards to the Fulani caliphate.

The misplaced priority being fought by the militants in the coastal region of Biafra in the name of oil pipeline guard contracts is very saddening, they should be fighting for freedom and sovereignty not pipeline contracts or any other irrelevant things, how would any right-thinking human choose to be a gateman in his father's house while servants and strangers live and enjoy his father's luxurious wealth and properties.

Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has always called on our brothers from the coastal areas to start fighting to be free and in full control of their resources and get honour and regard than threatening war on yourselves over your ancestral inheritance.

When will it dawn on you guys that the Fulani-led government of Nigeria is trying to set confusion amongst you, so that you start killing each other over an oil pipeline security guard?

The game plan of the Fulani oligarchy is to give oil pipeline security guards to a particular leader in the coastal region of Biafra to cause a rift in the region and have easy access to the oil and gas in your land while you kill each other they will have easy access into your land and your resources, they will pollute and plunder your land and waters.

For How long will you continue to suffer abject poverty in the coastal region, for how long will servants continue to ride on horses while kings and queens walk barefooted, why have you guys failed woefully in striving for management roles about the oil but rather fighting for watchman job over pipelines? Is it that there are no educated people amongst you or what
or that you guys prefer being security guards to oil pipelines instead of decision-makers?

It is high time the coastal region rises and fights to have full control of their natural resources, and that can only be achieved through self-determination, not just fight for mere pipeline security guarding, fight for your freedom, emancipate yourselves from this British enclave called Nigeria.

Construction Of Second Niger Bridge, Sounding Like They Are Doing Ndigbo A Favour

Construction Of Second Niger Bridge, Sounding Like They Are Doing Ndigbo A Favour 

Part 2

■ Author : Chinonso Igwebuike Mbah

■ Date : 28 Aug 2022 

■ Twitter:@umuchiukwu

Based on the funding structure of the bridge, the second Niger bridge was to be financed under a public-private partnership (PPP) with 60% of the funding coming from contractors, 20% from the federal government and 10% from the Anambra government and Delta State government.

Second Niger Bridge

According to Mr Doyin Okupe a formal aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, he has made what he called 15 revelations about the second niger bridge. 

In a message he titled Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Buhari and the people, Doyin Okupe revealed that the said bridge is not being constructed by the federal government of Nigeria, as it's a project being handled by PPP and the federal government is expected to contribute a tiny fraction, the bridge is said to cost #117 billion, the federal government of Nigeria is expected to contribute #30 billion, which Goodluck Ebele Jonathan administration through Sure P paid #21.2 billion 71% including #7 billion for the completion of preparation work (phase1), work resumed at the site in 2013 and the bridge was to be completed in 2017, but when late Muhammadu Buhari assumed office in 2015 he called on the contractors to suspend work at the bridge for 31 months, and the completion date got delayed.

Any Government fulfilling her primary responsibility towards their citizens is not doing them any favour, and the construction of the Second Niger bridge is not doing Ndigbo any favour, that mentality of applauding any Politician who obliged his campaign promises is wrong, for the avoidance of doubt the same bridge you are applauding late Muhammadu Buhari will be tolled, Ndigbo will have to pay for passing through that bridge, so how is that a favour to Ndigbo?

You are applauding a dead president who told you that the region that gave him a 5% vote should not expect anything from him.

It would be a loss of dignity and self-respect if Ndigbo resort to applauding corrupt politicians who are under hefty salaries and benefits for discharging their primary responsibilities and fulfilling campaign promises towards their constituents, we will lose the privilege to demand accountability if we continue to applaud and celebrate mediocrity. 

For decades we have failed to understand what our constitutional rights are, all we do is to celebrate the luxurious lifestyle of politicians who careless about us because of the peanuts they bring at the expense of our life.

It is the primary responsibility of the Government to building infrastructure, basic amenities and should not be seen as a favour, that is their job, they asked people to vote them in for the job they are delivering, these projects are not financed from their personal fund, it is taxpayers money and revenue generated from our natural resources that has been used to fund the projects, why then should people start applauding them, forgetting that the government must provide infrastructures for their citizens, the reverse should be the case, our politicians should be the ones applauding us for electing them into offices to serve the people, have you ever seen Americans applauding their Politicians for doing their job? 

Under Goodluck Ebele Jonathan's administration, infrastructures were built in the north, the northerners never applauded him because they understood the game of politics, rather they accused him and made several allegations against him and used underaged almajiris to rig him out of office, late Muhammadu Buhari's administration constructed a 2.2km bridge known as Loko Oweto bridge in Nassarawa state linking Benue state, there was no fanfare or news asking indigenes of Nassarawa or Benue state to applaud late Muhammadu Buhari for construction of a bridge that's longer than second Niger bridge, but here in AlaIgbo some grey cranium efulefu will always remind us to bow down and prostrate before late Muhammadu Buhari for allowing the continuation of work on a simple 1.6km  Bridge that will be tolled and levied.

This same Igbo efulefus want us to applaud a mediocre tribal bigot that brought nothing but poverty, killings, agony and suffering to Ndigbo, you can't deny the fact that the late Muhammadu Buhari's administration has spilled the blood of Ndigbo enough for Ndigbo to be bitter, Ndigbo wake up and stop applauding politicians for discharging their primary responsibilities because it's our right, building infrastructures for your citizens is never a favour but a duty that every politician must discharge.

Ohaneze Ndigbo UK Suspends Its President Over False Comment On Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

Ohaneze Ndigbo UK Suspends Its President Over False Comment On Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

The apex Socio-Cultural Igbo group, the Ohaneze Ndigbo United Kingdom chapter has suspended its President, Professor Joe Ukemenam over false claims against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

This was disclosed in a letter and disclaimers the Ohaneze Ndigbo (UK) sent to Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to the IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in response to Barrister Ejimakor’s demands on the matter, the letter to Barrister Ejimakor reads in part:

“But even as Ohanaeze Ndigbo UK played no role whatsoever in such an interview, we have taken it upon ourselves to disclaim it and extend our sincerest apologies to whosoever the interview offends. Please extend our warm greetings to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (OHAMADIKE NDIGBO) and assure him of our abiding respects and high regards for his person.”

Recall that Joe Ukemenam during an interview with Sun News on 20 August 2022, alleged that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu owns a house worth £10 Million with no documentary trail to demonstrate that he owns any business that could enable him to own such property.

The Enugu State Governorship aspirant also justified the extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu including his illegal detention, advising the Federal government of Nigeria not to release him even on a court order.
He added that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu acted with impunity he said;

"Mazi Nnamdi Kanu acted with impunity and it is the perception of impunity that makes it difficult to argue his case".

Meanwhile, the Ohaneze Ndigbo UK via a press statement has disassociated its group from the false claim attributed to its suspended leader, Joe Ukemenam, added that the claims were his own opinion, and the group went further to seek the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, a prisoner of conscience.

The statement reads;
"The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo United Kingdom chapter has been drawn to a recent interview granted by Professor Joe Ukemenam to the Sun news online which was published on 20 August 2022 and subsequently re-published by other online media houses, in which he discussed a range of issues including the continued incarceration of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Nigerian government"
The statement continued;

"The Ohanaeze Ndigbo UK through this medium wishes to categorically disassociate itself from the views expressed by Prof Ukemenam on matters raised in the said interview.

“We hereby inform the public that those opinions and references made were entirely his and do not in any way or form represent the views or the position of Ohanaeze Ndigbo UK"

On Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's extraordinary rendition the group said "We condemn the forceful rendition of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria against international laws and treaties and we call on the immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from his incarceration by the Nigerian government.”

Igbo Culture And Tradition Is More Spiritual Than You Think, We Must Bury The Dead Within Three Days

Igbo Culture And Tradition Is More Spiritual Than You Think, We Must Bury The Dead Within Three Days

■ Author Chinonso Igwebuike Mbah
■ 28 Aug 2022
■ Twitter:@umuchiukwu

The point raised by IPOB leadership over burying the dead after three days of death is not far from Igbo culture and traditions, it's a welcome development because even from the death of Abraham to Jesus Christ and his apostles in the bible, they were all buried within 48 hours of death, even the Bible asked us to bury the dead within 24 hours of death, that has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that IPOB is upright and remains the only group that will defend Igbo cultures and traditions because Igbo traditional leaders are more concerned about politicians and the money they get from them than defend and protect our culture and values.

For decades Igbo culture and traditions have remained more spiritual than physical, burying the dead has a lot of significant impacts that have to do with Omenala, when Omenala is flouted in burying the dead, there's always a spiritual consequence and sometimes curses on the people, which is why we are experiencing a lot of untimely death in Igbo land.

The logic is simple, as Igbo cultures and traditions only permit us to bury the dead latest three days of departure, it was never mandatory for Ndigbo to deposit a dead body in a mortuary before burial, as a way of last respect you owe it a duty to the dead to immediately bury them for quick transition to the spiritual realm and not the other way round.

It is high time Ndigbo in general stop the depositing of dead bodies in the mortuary to avoid the impending doom it may cause Alaigbo, our people have become so disrespectful by subjecting dead bodies to several disrespects, it is disheartening how our people freeze dead bodies like ice fish for months and years without fear or regard to the spirit of their dead ones, it's a letdown to Omenala and Odinala Igbo.

The culture and traditions of Igboland have never made burial a burden or carnivals, it is this generation that loves the borrowing and copying of other cultures and values that has allowed things that are strange and abominable in the name of civilisation and foreign religion to thrive in our land.

Ndigbo must go back to their tradition of burying the dead within three days of departure and plan the mourning ceremony later, we must learn how to respect the dead.

We must go back to the old Omenala ways of burying our dead in three days, the reasons being that any debt you incur in any lavished carnival called burial can not bring back the dead while you are left all alone to sort out the debts not even your church or Umunna can help.

Biafra: IPOB Press Release 24th August 2022

■ Twitter:@umuchiukwu

■ 24 Aug 2022 

Biafra: Keeping Our Dead Over 3 Days Before Burial Must Stop, Causing Havoc in Biafraland - IPOB Press Release 24th August 2022

The global movement and noble family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU wish to announce to all Biafrans, friends of Biafra and lovers of Biafra freedom that it is high time Biafrans start burying our dead within three days as it was in ancient times. 

IPOB has gone too deep in the spiritual and finds out that keeping our dead ones for so long is contributing to the major problems of Ndigbo in this present time. Our ancestors were burying their dead ones within three days and that is our culture and it helped our ancestors spiritually. Igbos have a very rich and spiritually based culture which our ancestors maintained from the beginning of time. 

The present habit of keeping dead bodies for more than three days and even months and years in the mortuary has had dire effects on our land and contributed to the spiritual weakness of the Igbo Nation and of the entire Biafraland, moral decadence and all manner of evil that have taken root in our land. 

Now that IPOB has come to realise that this alien practice of keeping the dead on land rather than committed to mother earth has had a very negative impact on our people and upon our land. It has therefore become very imperative to urge our people to revert to the old practices that have a very positive effect on our well-being both spiritually and otherwise. 

After some thorough investigation, we have come to realise that all the reasons given by our people which cause the unnecessary delay in burying our dead within a short period are neither cogent nor important enough. These reasons are all man-made mostly monetary conditions from the bereaved families, traditional rites, churches and Umunna. Some of these reasons were self-imposed while others are just to punish the dead families and make money from the dead. 

We, therefore, beg our people, religious leaders, traditional rulers and mostly the Umunna both men and women to stop tasking bereaved families as a condition before they are allowed to commit their departed loved one to mother earth. Some of our people have turned burial into a carnival and asking families to pay levies or debt for their dead ones is an abomination and must be stopped forthwith. 

As it was in past, bereaved families should be allowed to commit their dead ones to mother earth while a date for the burial ceremony is fixed for a later date as well as whatever levies that need to be collected. But using reasons of non-payment of burial levies to stockpile dead bodies in the mortuaries is what IPOB don't want again in our territory. 

Our people should revert to our old healthy tradition of burying the dead and do the needful at specific times within their reach. IPOB will engage Church Leaders, Town Unions Traditional Rulers and Umunna in this regard. We are advising them to prepare their minds for this clarion call because IPOB will develop a strategy of curtailing the excessive use of mortuary in our Region. This strategy may include compelling the shut down of so many mortuaries littered all over our land. 

The only dead bodies that can be allowed to stay longer in the mortuary are those in court or under police investigation. Keeping dead ones so long without putting them into the mother earth is a problem to the lives of Ndigbo both home and abroad including our progress in life. Igbos are shrinking in life because we dishonour the dead by keeping dead bodies in mortuaries for too long than necessary in these mortuaries. Any nation, tribe or family that keeps the dead without putting the corpse into the dust is causing a disservice to themselves. 

IPOB has gone too far in our work to restore our dear Nation of Biafra and we cannot lose the opportunity because of unburied people littered in various mortuaries. Some corpses have been left in the mortuary for one, two and three years because of self-gratification, levies or bills from families, churches and Umunnas. We are advising the families, Church Authorities and Umunna to reverse this unhealthy and wicked trend before IPOB begins to implement this new policy. 

The unburied have turned into zombies and have negative consequences on our peace and survival as a Nation. The most disturbing aspect of this practice of keeping dead bodies in mortuaries that is our people who died in other parts of the country even outside the country are brought down to Biafraland and deposited in a mortuary for months and years before burial. Alaigbo has been turned into a gigantic mortuary where dead bodies are dumped with the accompanying dire consequences to our land and this attitude and practice must stop forthwith. 

Owners of mortuaries on our land must start planning for another business. We are not against those engaged in the mortuary business but we are against keeping dead ones longer than necessary because we are planning to march and we cannot keep dead bodies unburied before we match. IPOB is encouraging our people on the need to accord respect to our departed beloved ones by burying them immediately. In the olden days, our ancestors embalmed the dead in the house and bury within three days. 

Ndigbo were not cowards and lazy but today our land is devastated and destroyed completely by unknown gunmen and IPOB will not allow that to continue. God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama bless and protect Biafrans.

 Biafra; Construction Of Second Niger Bridge, Sounding Like They Are Doing NdIgbo A Favour 

Part 1 

A picture of the ongoing work at the second Niger bridge has emerged as few NdIgbo continues to applaud the late General Muhammadu Buhari administration for the construction of a second niger bridge, the administration of late Major General Mohammadu is trying to complete the bridge which the past administration of Goodluck Jonathan initiated before they were rigged out, the work ongoing at the bridge currently was never the concept of late Major General Muhammadu Buhari because when he assumed office in 2015 the contract was already signed and contractors mobilised, there were physical materials, site clearance and initial planting of heavy-duty equipment was ongoing at the site, his administration put a hold on the funding of the project few weeks after assuming office and would later reconcile and work would later resume at the site, what made him have a second thought to start funding the project again is yet to be unravelled. 

The Fulani-led government of Nigeria can never do anything that will benefit NdIgbo, their hatred for NdIgbo is legendary, out of their jealousy, hatred and envy for NdIgbo the late Muhammadu Buhari-led administration removed the original design of the second Niger bridge which includes a rail line and a maximum height that would enable lite ship access Onitsha medium port. 

The Fulani oligarchy led by late Major General Muhammadu Buhari changed everything pertaining the original plan of the bridge yet some Igbo efulefu are applauding him for building a bridge that would benefit every Nigerian with our commonwealth. At the same time, they steal billions of naira from the same bridge that would be tolled. 

The second Niger bridge was drastically redesigned by the late Muhammadu Buhari administration so that no ship could pass under it, economically useless to NdIgbo, they want to make sure that in future if the river is dredged it will not be useful to NdIgbo as no ship can access Onitsha to dock at the medium port, yet some Igbo intellectuals are applauding someone for a long overdue bridge that has been a source of embezzlement and campaign for every government over the past 17yrs while as the current administration has built railways, roads, bridges, refinery and even piped oil and gas from Biafraland to Niger Republic, Chad and Cameroon within the short period of his administration and even bought SUV cars that were donated to the government of the Niger Republic, but here in AlaIgbo, it has become a big deal to applaud a tribal bigot for trying to construct a bridge.

 How long will Igbo politicians continue to eat from the leftovers of their Fulani master's table thrown on the floor?

Biafra: If Orji Uzo Kalu is Man enough let him Threaten the Right People

  Biafra: If Orji Uzo Kalu is Man enough let him Threaten the Right People 

A recent video circulating on social media showed the former governor of Abia state, Orji Uzo Kalu where he was shamelessly boasting and threatening to kill people living in the bush. 

This leaves us with the question, Who lives in the bush? The people in the audience of the former governor are Igbos - indigenes of Abia state. It has never been heard that the highly travelled Igbos in all their sojourns live in the bush even in a foreign land not to talk of becoming wild animals in their ancestral land. 

So how are the threats supposed to be directed at them? If Kalu is serious about tackling the insecurity posed by people who live in the bush, some people are globally known for their living in the bush, Orji Uzo Kalu knows these people quite well and where to find them as they are his strong allies, but out of immeasurable cowardice he has chosen not to mention those who live in the bushes of the constituency he Oji Uzo Kalu represent at the Senate. 

This simply points to his lack of balls and confirms him as a Fulani stooge. He has been a Fulani lapdog right from his days as Abia state governor during which he gave Lokpanta to his slave masters and that axis now ranks among the highest insecure places in Biafra land. 

Shouldn't he be at Lokpanta to at least beg his Fulani brethren to stop terrorizing the land? The truth remains that Oji Uzo Kalu lacks the courage to threaten the fulani terrorist herdsmen who live in the bush He lacks the guts to even table a request that will benefit Biafrans to his Fulani lords but has the temerity to threaten the owners of the land. 

It is foolishness to think that Biafrans will be perturbed by threats from an Abuja errand boy like Oji Uzo Kalu, Of course, what do you expect from a hog but grunts? If at this age of Oji Uzo Kalu he does not know that no one is a Nigerian then we can't help him. Nevertheless, the earlier he and his co-travellers realize that Biafrans will stop at nothing in protecting their ancestral heritage the better for them, If there was a time of yielding to threats, that was in the past.

IPOB PRESS RELEASE 22/08/2022

IPOB PRESS RELEASE 22/08/2022 

ESN WILL BE WAITING FOR ORJI UZOR KALU AND HIS COLLABORATORS THE TERRORIST NIGERIAN ARMY TO FLUSH THOSE PROTECTING OUR BUSHES AND FORESTS AGAINST FULANI -IPOB. 

The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership and command of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU wishes to state to the public that IPOB leadership and members have been acquainted with the threat from the former Governor of Abia State, Alhaji Orji Uzor Kalu where he has given the order for the compromised Nigeria Security Agencies to wipe out IPOB-ESN staying in the bushes and forests safeguarding our bushes and forests for our mothers, wives and sisters who are going to the farms.

 IPOB has nothing with anybody issuing such a threat but Orji Uzor Kalu has given us a time frame and we are ready for him and his co-travellers who will be coming to us. Orji Uzor Kalu will pay after the attack because he will understand that IPOB is not a pushover. Many unscrupulous Governors and elements from the East have tried in the past to neutralize ESN so that their Caliphate Masters will send their terrorists in to occupy our land but did not succeed but the compromised military ended up slaughtering innocent citizens. 

This time around Orji Uzor Kalu will bear the brunt of whatever he does because we must confront him and those he wished to use to attack IPOB-ESN in those local governments of Ohafia, Isiukwuato, Umunneochi and Bende he mentioned in his viral videos showing on social media. Anybody who knows Orji Uzor Kalu, his associates, friends and family must advise him to stay off activities of ESN because he brought Fulani terrorists into our land during his time as Abia State Governor, but if he continues, he should write down his will for his family. 

Orji Uzor Kalu, a foolish stooge of the Fulani Caliphate should ask himself why the Caliphate has not used fighter jets against the terrorists and Bandits in the North. Yet he wants to use the enemy's fighter jets to bomb ESN who protect his mothers and sisters in our Forest and bushes from invading Fulani terrorists. IPOB-ESN is protecting bushes and forests for our people to peacefully cultivate in the farmlands because of Fulani terrorist activities in the bushes and forests and we cannot afford to allow Orji Uzor Kalu to bring back Fulani terrorists masquerading as herdsmen. 

Alhaji Orji Uzo Kalu cannot afford to trade with our people's blood for his selfish political advancement but we in IPOB are here to stop him and protect our people from murderous Fulani terrorists. The problem at Lokpanta and numerous Kidnappings in Umunneochi and Isiukwuato routes were created by Orji Uzor Kalu and his APC co-travellers in South Eastern Region. Orji Uzor Kalu did all these barbaric actions during his time as Abia State Governor. Orji Uzor Kalu was jailed for looting Abia State money by his evil APC party but IPOB and our Leader fought for his release from prison. But today he wants to play the right person in the face of his Fulani Masters. 

IPOB is ready for him and we will hunt him down should he carry out his threat with the terrorist Army. Orji Uzo Kalu is a Fulani useful idiot and agent of Fulanization. Our people should not be surprised that Orji Uzo Kalu is benefitting from the millions of money our people pay as ransom to the Fulani kidnapping gangs in Abia State. 

Now that ESN efforts to chase the remnants of Fulani terrorists and kidnappers within Abia North of Umunneochi, Ohafia, and Isukwuato areas are yielding results, the Fulani stooge is calling on his Fulani Masters in Government at Abuja to send their Military and Airforce to come and bomb ESN Operatives in the bush and forests so that his Fulani kidnapping gangs can return to business.

Alhaji Orji Uzor Kalu bear in mind that IPOB is not afraid of him, the Nigeria Government and their terrorist Army let alone being scared of you. You're an evil man that created murderous Fulani terrorists in our land and one day you are going to pay for your crimes against our people.
