From Change To Chains: How Buhari brought Nigerians Under Captivity

(Onitsha Nigeria, 24th December 2015)-The Xmas Message delivered today by Presidential Speech Writers, on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari, is a collective insult to all Nigerians. The message, titled: “No Group Will Hold Nigeria to Ransom Again”… is also self-indicted because Nigeria is being held to ransom by the Presidency of Muhammadu Buhari; and not the other way round. A Nigerian Facebook blogger recently stated that “Buhari/APC shouted chain and Nigerians thought the shouters said change”. That is to say that Nigerians are dictatorially captive; following the shout of “chains”, which they took to be “change”. The country’s military had also boasted recently that “it must maintain one united Nigeria by fire by force”.

The last weekend’s coordinated massacre by the Nigerian Army of hundreds of Shiite Muslim faithful of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria in Zaria, Kaduna State, Northwest Nigeria; is not only a State murder and terrorism; but also signals the return of Idi Amin era in the Nigerian Army under the Commander-in-Chief of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Iranian Parliament urge emergency 'AID' to Nigerian Shia muslims. Including BACK CHANNELS

The Iranian parliament have urged for the shipment of emergency aid to shia Muslims in Nigeria. The nature of the aid was not specified, but these could include self-defence equipment, as the parliamentarians urged that no stone should be left unturned - including using the back channels.

The Arab League And The Biafran Nation

No wicked man shall go unpunished and everyone whose support continuous spilling of innocent blood will have his own blood spilled; those who kill by the sword shall, by the sword, go.

That is the story of all the countries that fully supported Nigeria’s genocide against Biafra and those who stood by and watched-saying nothing even when their word counted for much. The wind of harvest shall reach to the uttermost: from Africa to the Arab world, from UK to all Europe; from Rome to America, and round about.

With the initial mobilisation of 10,000 women which soon expands to 25,000 and joined by women from Ibibioland, Igbo women in Aba embark on a 2-month historic resistance against the oppressively expansive stretch of 50 years of the British conquest, paralysing the occupation regime and its institutions in much of the east, central and southern regions of Biafra consequently and losing 50 members of the freedom movement during the campaign, shot by the occupation police.

How 'Nigeria' was sold to the British at sum of £865k in 1899

By 1870, palm oil had replaced slaves as the main export of the Niger Delta, the area which was once known as the Slave Coast. At first, most of the trade in the oil palm was uncoordinated, with natives selling to those who gave them the best deals. Native chiefs such as former slave, Jaja of Opobo became immensely wealthy because of oil palm. With wealth comes influence.

Buhari is a strong advocate for self-determination – when it comes to Palestine but not for BIAFRA

General Muhammadu Buhari advocates for self-determination for far away people of Palestine and Western Sahara, while denying Biafrans right across to him the same inalienable rights.

Buhari extolling the virtues of “peaceful coexistence and self-determination”? Yep! And he did so in the hallowed Chamber of the United Nations General Assembly when he joined more than a hundred other heads of state, who recently converged in New York UN Headquarters, to listen to Pope Francis address the world body last week.

Dullard of Daura CONFIRMED! Buhari received honorary doctoral degree from an UNACCREDITED university

1. KASU is NOT among the 22 Universities accredited by NUC to award honorary degree.

2. KASU was established 10 years ago and had never graduated a PhD student and a university can't award a honorary when it doesn't have a regular.

3. There's an existing law that bans the award of Honorary degree to persons still in office. Same goes with chieftaincy titles.

Nigeria's unity is held at GUNPOINT - The Guardian

One of the leading newspapers in Nigeria has posited that the unity of Nigeria is held at gunpoint. This damning verdict was expressed in an editorial recently published by the Guardian editorial board.

According to The Guardian, a FACT of Nigeria’s democratic experience in the last 16 years is that every new political administration springs forth a new uprising from disenchanted interest groups. Such seems to be the case of the Muhammadu Buhari administration and the recent series of protests by youths of South eastern extraction seeking secession from Nigeria and demanding the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kalu, the detained director of the pirate Radio Biafra.

Dear Nigeria,

After some time as your guest in Abuja, I wanted to thank you for teaching me:

Double Standard and Nepotism: EFCC too ANXIOUS to quiz CBN Emefiele but SCARED to interrogate Lamido Sanusi over $2.2bn arms

There is double standard and obvious nepotism in the way the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is handling the alleged fraud committed with arms deal. Whereas bulk of the money were transferred through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) under Lamido Sanusi Lamido, the EFCC are rather focusing their attention on the Igbo-speaking current governor of the CBN, Godwin Emefiele. Vanguard reports that as investigation into the alleged looting of funds meant for the acquisition of arms for the Nigerian armed forces continues, operatives of the EFCC, are in a dilemma over what to do with Sanusi, the former CBN Governor.

International sympathy and awareness SWELLING for Biafra independence

Nnamdi Kanu a better leader than Buhari. Commands more respect than any other politician in Nigeria - Catholic Bishop of Sokoto

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah, says Indigenous People of Biafra are entitled to their agitation and should not be crucified for it.

He also advised the Nigerian Government to look at the positive side of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB and director of Radio Biafra who is illegally detained by Nigeria, and draw him closer rather that prosecuting him.

Biafra Protests: Nigeria is demonstrating its disdain for the rule of law and the rights of citizens - Okey Ndibe

I have been distressed beyond words by what has crystallized as an agitation for Biafra’s divorce from Nigeria. I am disturbed that this agitation has become another occasion for the Nigerian state to demonstrate its disdain for the rule of law and the rights of citizens. I’m appalled by the violence spawned by the actions of the agitators and the state’s reaction. The immediate impetus for the violent turn is the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), indeed the rabble rouser-in-chief of the neo-Biafran cause.

When in 2012, a few weeks before his 82nd birthday, the eminent Biafran novelist Chinua Achebe released his memoir titled "There Was A Country: A Personal History of Biafra", many missed what Achebe was doing.

It was not long after the release that Achebe died.

Buhari cancels Nigeria's 2016 Census

General Muhammadu Buhari has cancelled the scheduled 2016 Nigerian census exercise. The National Population Commission (NPC) on Thursday said the conduct of a comprehensive census in 2016 is not feasible due to factors beyond the commission. The Biafran believes the move is to pave way for a Hausa-Fulani to take charge at the NPC by the time the census may be conducted.

The HATRED and ENMITY against Biafrans runs deep in the vein and heart of Hausa-Fulani and co

Origins of deep rooted hatred and vitriol against Biafrans:
In 1953, when Independence loomed, Ahmadu Bello, the founder of Gamji said: "We cannot fight to dispense of white masters only to be ruled by new black masters called Ibo. Even here in the North, they run the post offices, railways, civil service and they have taken up all the shops we create. Call them Ibo, but you can also call them Zionists, but we shall not relinquish the estate of our fathers to such wretched people who have never had an administration before."

Only Referendum can stop Biafran Protests – Lower Niger Congress

In a reaction to ongoing peaceful protests by Biafran youths, the Secretary-General of the Lower Niger Congress (LNC), Mr. Tony Nnadi, affirmed that the quest for self-determination underlies the street mass action being embarked upon by Biafrans. He remarked that the incumbent Minister of Information, Mr. Lai Mohammed, recently described the agitations of the Southeast/Southsouth (SESS) youths as legitimate, even though he wrongly fingered the underlying cause for the massive protests to be the harsh economic conditions facing the protesters rather than a concerted demand for an independent Biafra.

Paradigm shift: Nigeria needs a bottom-up approach to progress. Break the country into bits

“Nigeria is a colonial experiment that has continued to run in circle of deception and corruption, thereby producing similar results from year to year. For there to be a positive a change, there must be a paradigm shift based on a bottom-up approach that would split the country into its natural indivisible units.”
