IPOB Declares May 30 Sit-At-Home In Honor Of Biafra Heroes.
The Indigenous People of Biafra has asked its supporters not to leave their homes on May 30.
IPOB said the ‘sit-at-home’ order was issued to honour the Biafran indigenes who lost their lives in sectarian killings in the country from 1945 to date.
It enjoined Igbo, Ijaw, Annang, Efik, Idoma, Igallah and all those who believe in the Biafra ideology to shut down their businesses and stay at home on the day.
The IPOB spokesperson said prayers would be held at designated places to mark the day.
The statement read in part, “The Indigenous People of Biafra and its leadership worldwide would like to use this opportunity to inform Biafrans, friends of Biafra, and lovers of freedom all over the world, to prepare for the historic annual Biafra Day of Remembrance 2017.
“Our heroes and heroines of the class of 1967-1970, who paid the ultimate price in defence of the dignity of the black race during this genocidal war against the people of Biafra, will be remembered and honoured in the finest traditions of IPOB.
“This annual event for 2017 has been designated a day of prayer, fasting, supplication and introspection.
“Also, all victims of state-sponsored genocide, from the Jos massacre of Biafran people in 1945 to the most recent Asaba massacre in 2017 at an IPOB meeting by the Nigerian Army, will all be honoured.”

Nigerian Bishop And Secretary Jailed For Sexual In London.
A Nigerian bishop and his female secretary have been jailed after they sexually assaulted a teenage girl and a woman during private prayer sessions at their south London Christian centre.
Benjamin Egbujor, 55, of Harold Avenue, Belvedere, Kent, was sentenced at Inner London Crown Court to three years and four months’ imprisonment on Friday, March 31, after he was found guilty of sexual assault and causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Rose Nwenwu, 43, of Thurlestone Road, West Norwood, London, was convicted of helping and encouraging Egbujor in relation to one of his victims, and taking part in that sexual assault herself. She was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment.
The offences took place from March 2011 to January 2013, at the Jubilee Christian Centre in Penarth Street, Peckham, where Egbujor was a bishop.
Officers in the Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Command (SOECA) started an investigation in January 2014 after a teenage girl disclosed to her family she had been abused by Egbujor.
The victim, who was under the age of 16, said Egbujor told her she had been chosen to attend an individual prayer session.
After being taken into his private office, the girl was forced to undress and oil was poured over her.
As a result of further enquiries, officers also interviewed a woman in her 30s who disclosed she had also been sexually assaulted by Egbujor.
The adult victim said Nwenwu, who worked as Egbujor’s secretary, also took part in the sexual assault by taking her clothes off and pouring oil over her.
Egbujor and Nwenwu were both found guilty on March 9 after a five-week trial at Inner London Crown Court.
Egbujor was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for the sexual assault and four months, to be served consecutively, for inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
Nwenwu was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for sexual assault and three years, to be served concurrently, for helping and encouraging Egbujor.
Both were made subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will have to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register.
Detective Inspector Angela Craggs, of the Met’s Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Command, said:“Egbujor and Nwenwu exploited the trust of their congregation when they targeted and abused these victims. They believed their position within the church would protect them from facing justice, but the court has held them accountable for their actions. I hope this conviction serves to empower victims of sexual violence to come forward and report to police, and as a warning to offenders who think they can use their position to protect them from the law.”
Police Constable James Bell, of the Met’s Offences and Child Abuse Command (SOECA) said:
“Egbujor and Nwenwu preyed on their victim’s vulnerabilities, whilst satisfying their own sexual urges under the guise of private prayer. I commend the victims for their courage and commitment in this case. I fear there may be other victims who have not yet come forward and I urge them or any victim of sexual abuse to tell the police what happened.”

Buhari’s Government Worst In Nigeria History — Asari Dokubo
In this interview with OVIE OKPARE, the leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, speaks on the Niger Delta crisis and other national issues
Many Nigerians have criticised you for investing in other countries when you could have done that in the Niger Delta.
I don’t believe in Nigeria. In December 2013, I was arrested based on the allegation that I was the leader of Boko Haram. How is Nigeria faring now under the All Progressives Congress. The fact that the President holds the people in so much disdain and cannot speak with the people who are supposed to have elected him is a shame. But it’s Nigeria, anything goes. I owe Nigeria no apology. I can’t establish my institutions and businesses in a hostile environment. Business ought to be in a conducive environment that will engender profit and so on. The Nigerian environment is still hostile to me. I had the opportunity of going to South Africa and other places to establish my business but I chose to be next door because I believe that would create an opportunity for my people.
Is the Nigerian government still hostile to you?
This is the most hostile government. This is the most insensitive government in the life of this country. All our (bank) accounts were put on surveillance, till today, but they found that this man did not steal any money and he is not involved in any criminal activities. We just thank God. A lot of people think I must be corrupt but they have looked everywhere and they found nothing. This government wrote to us that it was going to pay what they were owing us for contracts we concluded and they certified that the contracts were excellently concluded but they refused to pay.
Does it mean that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has been investigating you?
No, every (bank) account was under surveillance. The BVN was actually introduced to place every account on surveillance but they could not find anything. The EFCC cannot come to me because they know I have no skeleton in my cupboard. I never stole any money. I never did anything criminal. The truth is that when you have a pedigree, you are always careful of what will stain your image and that is what has kept me on.
How can Nigeria overcome the present economic crisis in the country?
This is a deaf and dumb regime. Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is trying to placate (Niger Deltans) but that is not enough. We are talking about fundamental issues of self-determination and this issue cannot be swept under the carpet by palliative measures and all sorts of things that people are demanding. This is the worst government in Nigeria because they came with the mindset to kill but unfortunately, they found it very difficult to kill us. People are racketeering with the foreign exchange to the detriment of others. Some people are buying a dollar for N520, while others are buying it for as low as N185 from the Central Bank of Nigeria. So, when people are talking about fighting corruption, I laugh. What manner of corruption could be greater than giving some persons dollars at N185/N190 and others are buying at N520? Now that Osinbajo is trying to block those cracks, the dollar and other foreign currencies have started coming down. When I was driving recently, somebody asked me to come down but I told him I have a waist problem and I cannot walk a far distance. I am not ashamed to tell somebody I cannot walk a far distance. People like Femi Fani-Kayode, Ayodele Fayose and I raised the alarm that Buhari was not (feeling) fine but people said we would be the ones to die first. We will all die but why should one lie?
This is the question of integrity and Buhari has no iota of integrity.
Are you not surprised about the revelations of massive corruption which took place under former President Goodluck Jonathan?
Which corruption? Has anybody been convicted? Is it a crime in Nigeria today for me to keep my money in my house? We have all become ‘Animal Farm.’ So, I can’t keep my money in my house or is it compulsory for me to keep my money in another man’s bank? What is the relationship between Buhari and Justice Ademola, who was handling his case that he sent his lawyer to give him N500,000?
How can the Federal Government solve the re-emergence of militancy in the Niger Delta region?
I’m not a militant but it is very simple. Convene a sovereign national conference to allow the people decide where they want to be. The people should have the right to choose where they want to be. Nobody can force one to be what he doesn’t want to be. Scotland has held one referendum and Britain just held a referendum to exit the European Union. South Sudan also did. Let’s hold our own referendum. We (Niger Deltans) cannot be conquered by anybody. He that doesn’t want peaceful change would be confronted with a violent change.
What happened to your schools in Cotonou in the Benin Republic?
I have four institutions -King Amachree International Schools (from crèches to secondary school), King Amachree Royal Academy — automotive ICT, King Amachree Art Academy (with different entrepreneurial courses like music, dance and the rest of it). We have the biggest studio in the Sub-Saharan Africa. We bought it over from a company where people like Fela and other big names have recorded before. We bought it in 2012.
Then we founded the King Amachree University but after the 2015 election, the Minister of Higher Education in Benin surprisingly withdrew our accreditation from the university. We have been struggling to get back our accreditations. It was really a big mess because students had registered and a lot of things that had been going on, but at the end of the day, we thank God. Everything is in the hands of God. It’s God that giveth, it’s God that taketh. We believe we were doing a good work. Our university had one of the lowest fees even though we had the best quality of lecturers and facilities. This has affected all our schools because we believe that some forces were against my establishment of the school. That is only my line of business. I’m hardly involved in other types of business except for education. It has really affected us but we hope that it will be fine.
There was a time I had nothing, there was a time I had so much. I have seen it all. As a young man, I saw so much comfort and wealth but when I grew up, I chose the path of struggle. I started to see poverty and all sorts of things. I chose poverty for myself and after that, I saw extreme wealth. I went to prison. I was underground. These are issues that will go on and on in life. Life is a cycle. Once you have decided to be on the path of the people, you will have these issues to confront you. You take it; that is how life is and I have taken it. I’m only sorry for the students who had paid their fees and they had started lectures and even finished an academic section and at the end of the day, they had to look for somewhere else to complete their education. They would not have the opportunity we gave to them in our own schools. It’s really unfortunate.

Breaking: Boko Haram Abducts Another 22 Girls In Borno.
Almost three years after Boko Haram hauled over 200 girls from their school in Chibok, Borno State, into captivity, the terror sect has killed at least four people and seized scores of women and children at different locations in the state.
One of the attacked villages was razed.
The abduction is believed to be one of the biggest since the April 14, 2014 raid of Chibok.
The terrorists struck at Pulka and Dumba villages close to the border with Cameroon on Thursday, taking the women and children.
A herdsman was shot dead for refusing to pay them ‘protection’ fee.
Also killed by the marauders were 50 of the man’s cattle.
Then on Friday night, they turned their attention on Kaye village in Damboa Local Government area of the state, killing three residents.
But it was Pulka they first raided, taking with them 18 girls.
Reports said they drove into the village in pickup vans at about 6am on the fateful day and proceeded to seize 14 girls aged 17 and below.
Panic stricken villagers fled into the bush on sighting the invaders, said a resident.
“They picked four other girls who were fleeing the raid they came across in the bush outside the village,” said the source who asked not to be named.
Another resident said the girls would likely end up as brides for the fighters.
“They didn’t harm anyone during the raid and they made no attempt to shoot people running away from the village,” he said.
The extremists killed a herdsman in the other raid on the outskirt of Dumba, close to Lake Chad.
Sources said the man had tried to escape after refusing to pay ‘protection fee’ to the insurgents.
“When the Boko Haram gunmen came for the money they realised he had left with everything and they decided to go after him on their motorcycles,” the source said.
“They caught up with him near Dumba where they slaughtered him and shot dead 50 of his cattle.
“They took four women from the man’s family and the rest of the herd.”
On Friday night, Boko Haram terrorists invaded Kaye village, setting houses on fire.
They then began to fire on fleeing residents, three of whom were killed in the process.
A resident said they rode into the village on bicycles.
He said many residents were missing.
Efforts to locate them at the nearest village, Gumsiri, proved abortive, he said.
The terrorists are believed to be from the Boko Haram faction headed by Abu Musab Al-Barnawi, son of Boko Haram founder Mohammed Yusuf.
Barnawi was appointed last year by the Islamic State group to replace Abubakar Shekau. Barnawi had pledged allegiance to the Middle East jihadist group in 2015.
The emergence of Barnawi has brought with it divisions in the group.
The Barnawi faction has criticized Shekau for mass killings and suicide attacks against civilians.
Barnawi and his loyalist Mamman Nur, who is seen as the real leader, had promised residents in areas under their control would not be harmed as long as they did not cooperate with Nigerian troops fighting Boko Haram.
But in recent weeks the Islamist fighters have intensified raids in areas near Lake Chad, stealing food from residents.
They have also killed several civilians they accused of cooperating with the military.
Boko Haram, in October last year, released 21 girls of the Chibok girls after negotiation with the federal government.
It was widely thought at the time that more of the girls would be released soon afterwards.
There was no immediate response from the government or the military.
Efforts to reach top officials by phone did not succeed.

Nigeria Political Office Holders Should Go For Mental Illness Test – Psychiatrist
It is madness for a political office holder to seek re-election after four years of total failure, it is madness for political office holders to say they have improve education standard that will compete with advance countries, while their children are schooling Abroad. It is total insanity for politicians to defect to a political party that has failed woefully at the National level, hoping that they will use Federal might and security operatives to impose themselves against the will of the people.
These among others forms part of the opinion of many Nigerians, and psychiatrist doctors have added their voice to the discourse.
Fred Odemwingie Okhomina is among the first generation of psychiatric doctors in Nigeria. Okhomina went into psychiatry after his mentor, Dr Adeoye Lambo, advised him to go into it. In this interview, Okhomina, who recently celebrated his 80th birthday, speaks on why he was influenced by his mentor to study that branch of medicine, corruption in Nigeria and the need to subject political office holders to psychiatric test.
When ask during media interview on his view about Nigerian political office holders undergoing psychiatric test, his responds was clear and on point.
I buy the idea. I can’t see why somebody should steal 1.3 billion government USDollars, that is a sign of madness. And many European leaders have said that there is something basically wrong with the black man. Why will somebody steal the money meant for road construction, school, for building hospitals and pocket it? Money they will not even finish in five generations! So I buy the idea. This idea came up when Hitler came to power in 1937 and he wanted to make sure that people who were going to rule were not greedy. The act of stealing money is greed and it is a form of mental illness. If these people were stealing the money to educate the children of poor citizens, we wouldn’t mind; even then it is still stealing.

IPOB IS RIGHT-NNIA NWODO
Why Igbo youths are bitter–Ohaneze president
By Lukman Olabiyi
The agitation for restructuring of Nigeria was again renewed in Lagos when some eminent and elder statesmen converged on the city to honour one of their own.
The event was a dinner organised by old members of the Sigma Club of University of Ibadan for the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John Nnia Nwodo. The dinner turned to be a forum to discuss critical issues affecting the country and why President Muhammadu Buhari must take immediate steps to restructure Nigeria and prevent the country from disintegrating.
In their views, the unity of Nigeria and harmonious co-existence of the various ethnic nationalities will be deepened by fiscal federalism and restructuring of the polity.
Among those who spoke at the event were foremost Niger/Delta leader, Edwin Clark, former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo; President-General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nwodo and Professor Biyi Afonja.
Chief Nwodo stated that he should be counted out among the people agitating for Igbo presidency in 2019 and declared that the struggle for restructuring of Nigeria is more important than the agitation for Igbo presidency in 2019.
According to him, the level of the abuse of fundamental rights in the country’s political system had led to a state of dissatisfaction, anger and impatience among the youth.
He stressed that some tribes are treated as unwanted species, despite the provision of federal character and equal representation in the country’s Constitution.
The Igbo leader also objected to the killing of unarmed members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB).
He wondered why the youth, who were clearly not happy with the unfair treatment being meted out to them in a country that is supposed to be theirs, were brutally killed.
Insisting that the youths did not warrant being killed, Nwodo also berated the Federal Government over continuous detention of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Chief Nwodo submitted that there was no need for a bill on grazing reserve, adding that what the Federal Government should have done was to ask states to create the reserves and confine the herdsmen to the reserve for a fee.
“The agitation for Igbo presidency in 2019 is a non issue as far as I am concerned. As the president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, I am apolitical, I am not a member of any political party.
“This is an issue for political parties, it has nothing to do with me. The issue of power rotation among regions is not new, it is some how aligned with the doctrine of federal character which is in our constitution.
“No party has called for nomination. I don’t think agitation for Igbo presidency is important now; what Nigerians are asking for is restructuring of the country to be a true federation. It cannot continue to be a federation in name, the political lexicography for federation is an independent federal unit.
“The moment you have independent federal unit, being state or regions and they have control over the resources they produce, they will contribute on agreed proportion to the Federation. The question of who is president and where he comes from will die down. It is going to be a matter of who is competent.
“MASSOB and IPOB organisations, no matter how divided they appear in public, are basically motivated by the same sense of outrage and bitterness. Our young men and women can no longer tolerate a second class status in their own country,” he said.
Anyaoku in his opinion while reviewing the current situation of the country, expressed dissatisfaction, saying the value system has collapsed in Nigeria and the development is hugely responsible for the menace of graft in the country.
He canvassed for return of the country’s lost values, which placed character and integrity above wealth acquisition.
He condemned today’s reality, which makes children and adults not to recognise that hard work should be embraced by everyone. He explained that the collapse of the age-long value system of integrity, hard work and patriotism has given way to the increased wave of corruption and the preference for get-rich-quick syndrome in the society.
In his word: “Corruption is the greatest under-miner of our national development and it is a consequence of the absence of those societal values. In our society today, the prevailing culture is that children and adults no longer recognise that success must come from hard work. They no longer recognize that integrity should be more valued than the possession of wealth.”
He canvassed the extension of Sigma Club’s motto to all the tertiary institutions in the country.
Chief Clark who did not also hide his feeling on the issue of restructuring, said the current situation of the country is not a legacy left behind by people who fought for the independence of Nigeria.
“Nigeria is very sick today. The Nigeria, which our founding fathers like Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe and Sir Ahmadu Bello bequeathed to us, is no longer what we have. At independence, we had a constitution that said there would be three regions, no one is superior to the other.
“As President Muhammadu Buhari used to say, if we don’t kill corruption, corruption will kill us, but, I am saying, if we don’t restructure, restructure will kill us,” he said.
Chief Adebanjo, who commended Ndigbo for electing Nwodo as Ohanaeze President-General, said his election came at a time people like him were needed to move Nigeria forward.
He aligned himself to the submission of his co-leaders, saying the country was sitting on a time bomb, if the issue of restructuring was not addressed.
In his remarks, Prof. Afonja, the oldest Sigma Club member, stressed that the vision of the founding fathers of the club, which was to further unity, must be adopted to solve the challenge of unity facing the country.
He stated that Sigma Club is a club of gentlemen with values, adding, “we must strive for the values of integrity, hardwork and belief that good character is far above irresponsible personal wealth.”
Welcoming the dignitaries to the occasion, the president of Old Sigmites, Lagos, Dr. Faye Iketubosin said the association honoured Nwodo for his outstanding contributions to the society and for his current position in Igboland.
Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, Senator Jim Nwobodo, Jimi Agbaje were also among those that attended the event.

THE MASSES CAN NOW ELECT THEIR LEADER !!!
Senate amends Electoral Act, okays e-voting for 2019
The Senate, yesterday, passed an amendment to the 2010 Electoral Act. In the new amendment, it approved the use of electronic voting in subsequent elections, especially during the conduct of the 2019 general elections.
Similarly, it okayed that election results should be transmitted electronically to collation centres.
Senate’s passage of the amendment followed the consideration of the report of the Committee on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on a Bill for an Act to amend the Electoral Act No. 6, 2010 and for other related matters (SB 231 and SB 234).
Major highlights of the new bill include provision for the use of electronic voting by INEC during future elections and the use of Card Reader. It also gave INEC power to modify the voting process if there was a challenge.
The Senate approved a provision to enable INEC transmit the result of elections electronically in an encrypted and secured manner to prevent hacking.
To address the sort of situation that occurred in Kogi State during the last gubernatorial election, the amended Electoral Act provided that if a candidate died before results of elections were declared, the results would not only remain valid but would belong to the political party that lost its candidate.
The sudden demise of the APC’s candidate, Audu Abubakar, who was leading the poll, sparked a row with his running mate contesting the decision of the party to field another candidate. He pursued his case to the Supreme Court.
The new amendment prescribed that in such a scenario, the INEC should suspend the elections for 21 days during which period the affected political party would conduct fresh primaries to choose a new candidate.
The Bill also gives political parties power to adopt direct or indirect primaries in choosing their flag bearers, while qualification or disqualification of candidates for elections would be solely based on the Constitution.
The final passage of the bill is coming after it was earlier stepped down four times. The amendment bill was stepped down over disagreement in some grey areas.
In his comments after the adoption of the report by the Red Chamber, President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, hailed his colleagues for a job well done and expressed optimism that the bill, when signed into law, would further improve the nation’s electoral system and contribute to good governance.
Saraki said: “Distinguished colleagues, let me thank all of you for this job well done. I want to particularly thank the members of the Committee on INEC and particularly the former chairman of the Committee, Abubakar Kyari, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and all the members of the committee who have worked very hard to ensure the passage of this very important bill which addresses our electoral process and goes on to strengthen our democracy.
“We have touched on new areas which I believe will improve the credibility of our elections and by so doing, definitely improve our democracy and good governance.
“Most importantly, I think, are some of the new sections we have added, in the area of technology, the smart card reader, and particularly the area of collation which has been an area of great concern.
“Collation of results after the polling units and some of the additions will go a long way to reduce some of the irregularities we have seen before.
“This is a great work you have been able to put together today and I want to commend everybody. I am also happy that we have passed the amendments very early. My concern has always been that if we don’t do it now, it will get more difficult as we get close to the 2019 elections.
“We hope that with this Bill that we have passed, very soon, we will sit together with the House of Representatives to be able to get the copy to the President for assent.
“I think when signed into law, it will enable INEC to have something to work early enough. I think what we have done today will really put our electoral law among the best that we have and it will go a long way in improving our electoral process.”
The Senate is expected to transmit the bill to the House of Representatives for concurrence before final transmission to the President for assent.
