November 22, 2017

In a Statement made available to BVI Channel 1 newsroom by the Chairman of MOBIN and the Vision Bearer of Legal Methodology to restore Biafra-Barr Emeka Emekesri ; the statement reads in full:

‘I want to invite all the Biafran activists and all the lovers of freedom who believe in self-determination by due process of law and diplomacy to come forward and take up the political positions of power in the whole Biafraland. We want to have Biafran legislators in the Houses of Assembly in Biafraland to pass our Customary Government Bill into Law at regional level. We want to have Biafran activists as Governors in Biafraland. We also want to have Biafran legislators at the National Assembly in Abuja just as the people of Scotland have the Scottish freedom fighters in the British Parliament debating and advocating for the Independence of Scotland.

The statement further stated that before the emergence of Barr Emekesiri in the Biafran Independence Struggle, the leaders of various pro-Biafra movements restrained their followers from participating in the Nigerian politics and Nigerian census with a wrong advice that they were not Nigerians but Biafrans. These leaders contradicted themselves as they still use the Nigerian Passports, Nigerian Driving Licenses, Nigerian Currency, etc, but deny their Nigerian citizenship. This is either hypocrisy or sheer ignorance like blind leaders leading the blind. Barr Emeka Emekesiri entered into the Biafran Struggle and stated the correct position of the law and clarified the difference between citizenship and indigenous identity of a person. He said that we are Biafrans by indigenous identity but Nigerians by citizenship until we gain independence from Nigeria whether inside or outside. We must maintain our identity as Biafrans while living in Nigeria until we gain independence. The case he instituted in the Federal High Court Owerri, Suit No FHC/OW/CS/192/2013, between Biafra and Nigeria has secured judicial immunity for all the Biafrans to identify themselves boldly as Biafrans living in Nigeria and in all parts of the world. He defined them in Court as INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA being the remnants that were not consumed in the war. Now is the time for the Biafrans to take over the political power in the whole of Biafraland. If we can vote Biafran activists into power as Governors in Biafraland, the Biafran Governors and Legislators can pass our Customary Government Bill into law at regional level. All Biafrans are advised to get their Voters’ Cards ready and vote for only the Biafran activists. Let us vote out the hawks planted in our midst by the North and West. Let us vote Biafran activists into power in Biafraland and take over our land. BIAFRAN POLITICIANS ARE URGENTLY NEEDED NOW’ The Statement concluded with a website address to visit for more information-www.ipobgovernment.org

IPOB: Abaribe demands N10m compensation from Army

November 20, 2017

The trial of leader of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnmadi Kanu took a dramatic twist as Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, one of the three persons standing as sureties for his bail ‎has asked the court to compel the Nigerian Army to pay him N10 m as damages.

Besides, in his application before the Abuja division of the Federal High Court, the lawmaker is praying for an order compelling the Chief of Army Staff to offset all expenses he incurred in the course of Kanu’s trial.

Abaribe is Senator representing Abia South Senatorial zone.

The N10m monetary compensation, according to the Senator, is for the psychological trauma he has gone through following the extra-judicial self-help actions of the Army Chief of Staff.

Abaribe is standing as surety for Kanu, having signed a bail bond of N100m to secure bail for Kanu.

Justice Binta Nyako, had on October 17, ordered Abaribe, and two others standing as sureties to appear in court to explain the IPOB leader’s whereabouts.

Kanu, who was enjoying the bail granted him by the judge on April 24, was absent from court at the previous proceedings when trial was billed to commence.

His three co-defendants – the National Coordinator of IPOB, Mr. Chidiebere Onwudiwe; an IPOB member, Benjamin Madubugwu; and a former Field Maintenance Engineer seconded to the MTN, David Nwawuisi – were produced in court by prison officials.

But Bright Chimezie, who became a co-defendant in the case following an amendment of the charges was also absent.

The new co-defendant was said to be in the custody of the Department of State Service.

Kanu’s lawyer, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, told the judge on October 17 that Kanu had been missing after soldiers invaded the IPOB leader’s home‎ on September 14, adding that the Nigerian Army was in the best position to produce the defendant.

A lawyer, Mr. Ogechi Ogunna, appeared for Abaribe informing the judge ‎that his client had filed a motion seeking to be discharged as Kanu’s surety.

‎The two other sureties, Immanuel Shalum Okabenmabu and Tochukwu Uchendu, were absent from court and not represented by any lawyer on Tuesday.

‎But Justice Nyako said Abaribe’s motion could not be heard until Kanu was produced in court.

After lawyers representing parties to the case announced their appearances on October 17, the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Shuabu Labaran, who was led by Mr. Saleh Barkum, noted that Kanu was absent from court.

He urged the court to order the arrest of the IPOB leader for being absent from court on Tuesday.

But Kanu’s lawyer, Ejiofor, told the judge that Kanu was ready to face trial until the military invasion after which he had become missing.

NOW THAT AKPOKUEDIKE HAS WON-WHAT NEXT?-Ndubuisi

November 20, 2017

I have no doubt in my mind that Gov Willie Maduaburochukwu Obiano is a child of circumstance. Everything worked in his favour!Nkea bu Nke Anyi ! Aha M efuna ! Ofe Nsala ! As the man ordained by the gods to correct the sins of our fathers,Obiano in his acceptance speech announced that his victory in the last Saturday’s poll belong(ed) to the Anambra people as a whole !

Time for campaign is over for good. Time for sweet talk and promises have elapsed, people are all eyes to see action from the working Governor.I want to agree with Gov Willie Obiano that the last Saturday victory is for all of us as Ndigbo.

We expect government in action henceforth.We expect Gov Obiano to announce stakeholders meeting immediately .He should start with the ‘prodigal sons’.These are those who reminded him that democratic power belongs to the people,the political traders and merchants! He should look for those who enjoyed Ofe Nsala on the election day.They contributed immensely to the success story as their indifference made the election manageable.Gov Obiano should go for the pro Biafran groups who took risk upon all odds to make open declaration for APGA .Gov Obiano has been holding meeting(s) with his party men and women,Community Leaders,Religious Leaders etc,such meeting has become a routine that he should think outside the box now to stop monetization stigma in Anambra Politics.This is the time to embark on massive voters education in all the communities in the State.There are about 2 million potential voters out there that did not partake in the last Saturday election.They have lost confidence in the electoral process and government insensitivity to the plight of the ordinary people.Ndi Ofe Nsala could cause future damage if an enemy armed them with voter cards in 2019! They can retire all the state Assembly Men in 2019 without releasing a single bullet as these are rare species that could not be bought with N2000.

This is the time to start building Government institutions. This is the time to allow masses to be part of the Government if actually the victory belongs to the people and not just APGA people.Let Gov Obiano announce a freedom square in Awka where citizen like me can easily go to vent my anger against Government policies or against extortion from Government Officials.Afterall,Gov Obiano will not go for third term.Let this opportunity serves for legacy building.The Peoples General-Ezeigbogburugburu did not have the liberty of time to unfold his Ahiara blueprint.

What more? There are few things Gov Obiano can implement immediately to reassure all of us that we did not make mistake.

Anambra can compete with Lagos economy if Gov Obiano can immediately automate the issuance of CofO of landed Property in major cities at a very cheap processing rate to activate consumption,savings and investment within the State.
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University tuition fee is too high at above N80,000.The Working Governor can mandate the VC to be productive or resign.
A model/technical / public schools at nursery/primary levels in Six Zones can reduce the high school fees from private schools and move our children from certificate tigers to our own Billgate.The cost of building a standard model /Technical school could not be more than N50M.
Others are Farm settlement, Price Control Board as well as Marketing Board to stabilize the market prices.
Most importantly, high quality human resources with proven track records should be considered to achieving immediate results. This is where Gov Obiano will have problem as many are called but very few are chosen. What of Corruption in public service –the fear for unknown factor among these appointees should be taken care of to enhance efficient service delivery.

What next will continue in the next edition as we are not only agitating but ensuring that our society is working by proffering solutions.

Most people wonder how rich men are made, some think of the fastest route to make money, which has resulted in tragedy than joy.

But I must say here that it is easier to be rich than being a poor. the solution is property investment.

While, many of South Easterners invests heavily in Western and Northern Nigeria, they forgot the saying that “Aku rue Uno, amara onye kpatara ya” You are only considererd wealthy when you invest in your own land.

This video says it all.

Biafra has Been Restored Without a Territory-Barr Emeka Emekesri

By

bvichannel1

-

November 20, 2017

It is my submission that the greatest mistake that Nigeria made was to have spared the remnants of the Biafrans alive. If Nigeria had annihilated the Biafrans in 1970 A.D., just as Rome annd Carthage in the third Punic war of 146 B.C., there would not have been any remnants of the Biafrans today to seek for the restoration of their ancient nation. In my book, “Biafra or Nigerian Presidency- What the Ibos Want”, I proved by documentary evidence that Biafra had existed as an ancient country in the Map of Africa for more than 400 years before Nigeria was created in 1914.

Today, we have restored Biafra as a people governed by their Elders under Customary Law but without a territory yet under Statute Law. Perhaps, many people do not know that Biafra has actually come into existence but without a territory. We are a people with defined identity living in a defined country under a defined de facto customary government but without a separate territory delineated by law. We have become a nation-in-waiting.

This has some implications in international human rights law which I shall talk about in due course. I have observed that many Law Enforcement Officers in Nigeria do not understand the law and may make mistakes if not properly guided. It has therefore become expedient for us to explain in detail the philosophy underlying the existence of the Customary Government of Indigenous People of Biafra.

Customary Government under the Nigerian Legal System:

In my previous statement entitled “Customary Government is Lawful in Nigeria”, I cited the provisions of the Nigerian Laws that authorize the use of customary law and sharia law to govern the people within Nigeria. The claimants in the Federal High Court Owerri known as Indigenous People of Biafra are governed under Customary Law by their Elders called the Supreme Council of Elders. The only limitation is that the people governed under customary law and sharia law are not sovereign but remain under the sovereignty of Nigeria. But they have the right to govern themselves as a people within Nigeria. After the war, the Biafrans were scattered like sheep without a shepherd. Their republican and individualistic nature made it more difficult to gather them together. Their political enemies made matters worse by sowing discord among them, creating enmity among them, planting political stooges among them, and empowering traitors to rule over them. The Biafrans became hopeless and helpless in the midst of enemies within and without. Even among the pro-Biafra agitators, they started calling themselves bad names such as traitors and betrayers as nobody could trust anybody again. This was the situation before the lawyers and the elders joined the Biafran national liberation struggle.

The first action taken by the lawyers was to anchor the Biafran independence movement upon the rule of law and diplomacy. As Biafra is not yet a sovereign nation, it can only sue or be sued in a representative capacity. This was why the Indigenous People of Biafra sued Nigeria by the human rights organization known as Bilie Human Rights Initiative. This human rights organization is registered both under the Nigerian Law and in the United Nations as a legal entity. It has been granted the ECOSOC status in the United Nations with three seats in the UN Headquarters in New York, Geneva and Vienna. This is the organization that champions the Biafran liberation struggle by the rule of law and diplomacy. The human rights organization is different from the people it represents just as an attorney or agent is different from his principal. It is different from the Customary Government of Indigenous People of Biafra and cannot take over the government of the people otherwise its acts would be ultra vires.

The meaning of Governor Obiano’s reelection-Chuks Iloegbunam

By

November 19, 2017

Anyone asked the impact of Governor Obiano’s victory in the November 18 gubernatorial ballot in Anambra State could answer with a single word: Crushing. He won in all of the 21 local government areas of the state. His closest rivals came up in dismal second, third and fourth places. The combined total of the votes garnered by the rest of the 33 candidates managed to hit the hundreds. Significantly, ex-Governor Peter Obi, the godfather of PDP candidate Oseloka Obaze lost in his Anaocha local government area. Mr. Obaze himself lost in his Ogbaru local government area. His running mate, Mrs. Alexandria Chidi Onyemelukwe, famed daughter of Dr. Alex Ekwueme, lost in her Nnewi North local government area. The string of tragic losses is bewildering. APC candidate Tony Nwoye lost in his Anambra East local government area. His bankroller, the tycoon Arthur Eze, lost in his Dunukofia local government area. The loquacious PDP campaign director-general Joe-Martins Uzodike lost in the polling booth in front of his Awka-Etiti house. Indeed, APGA is a party of giant killers. All their opponents were buried in a landslide!

Anyone asked the meaning of Governor Obiano’s reelection could answer by saying that, “One good term deserves a second.” They would be right. But such an answer pleads for amplification. My younger sister, Mrs. Anne Offor, phoned to say “Congratulations.” In the small talk that followed, she said there was never an impulsion on her part to listen to the diatribe on radio that passed for political campaigns. She had no cause to attend an Obiano rally. She saw no point in busybodies preaching to the converted. She knew that her vote was for Obiano. Why?

My sister’s answer was the same as proffered by thousands of retirees in the state. With an honours degree in Mathematics from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, she went into teaching the subject at secondary school level. When she turned 60 during March 2017, mandatory retirement beckoned. “I got my gratuity less than two months after retirement. I’ve since been regularly and promptly collecting my pension, while in many other states workers are committing suicide for non-payment of salaries,” she explained. “That settled it for me. No further campaigning was necessary. My vote was for Willie Obiano.”

Willie Obiano is an empathetic leader. He is on record as saying that it was sinful not to pay workers their salaries as and when due. Even before becoming Governor, he turned over his vast estate in Aguleri to relief workers for the accommodation and comfort of flood victims. As Governor, he established proper platforms for giving a meaning to the lives of the physically challenged. Those with shattered limbs were fitted with prosthetic alternatives. Those with the necessary qualifications were given automatic employment. In discussions with him, he was always emphatic that governance had to run on the wheels of humanity. The problem of the collection of illegal levies and taxes was a knotty one. Yet he forbade the use of brute force on violators of the law. “No one should be hit; nobody should be beaten up. Offenders must only be arrested and prosecuted,” he maintained.

Governor Obiano has gradually been removing Anambra from the warp of kill, mangle, trample, strangle and obliterate. He has been building a kinder, gentler society way removed from the impunity of past unconscionable political leadership. He chased the kidnappers away, vowing to remain awake in order that his people would always sleep with both eyes wide shut! Rice, a staple food in these parts, always seemed like cultivated only for the affluent. He got his people Anambra Rice. He deployed time into ascertaining not just what the people wanted but, more importantly, what was inevitable for their individual and collective fulfillment.

The rational assumed that his second term of office was a fait accompli. The problems materialized precisely from that time in point. Those responsible for establishing a zoning system for the Anambra governorship seat to move in turns from one Senatorial district to another turned abruptly around and swore to disrupt and overturn the acclaimed arrangement. Politicians desperate to elude pursuers of ill-gotten lucre swamped what they tagged “Party of the National Grid” and vowed to orchestrate the very death of APGA, the only national political party rooted in the Igbo country. People deserving of checking themselves into prison for long stretches over multiple criminal infractions suddenly became the toast of expired politicians striking poses as kingmakers with oracular prowess. The din was overwhelming. The injustice was stultifying. From sunup to sundown they had a changeless song in their vocal cords – that of traducing Willie Obiano. If he spent a Kobo on a life-saving gadget for the State’s Teaching Hospital, they would post on the Internet that he had blown a hundred billion on choice wines. Even if he flew up to Abuja in a commercial flight and displayed his boarding pass for all to see, they would claim that he had chattered four aircraft for the 35-minute hop into the nation’s capital. The lies went ballistic on people’s senses.

There was also the sacrilege. They organized what was termed a political rally and used it to set ablaze bales of cloth bearing the image of General Ojukwu. Would anyone try that of Chief Obafemi Awolowo in the Yoruba country? Would anybody attempt that of Sir Ahmadu Bello in Arewaland? All sorts of characters deluged Anambra State, speaking at its people. The fact that Governor Obiano kept a cool head all through the impertinence and provocations, the fact that his people maintained the peace in the name of democracy, and the added fact that, in victory, neither Obiano nor APGA has been triumphalist, is a testament worthy of understanding. Anambra is not for pushing around. Ndigbo are not anybody’s second-class citizens.

The vanquished may now go into hibernation, licking their wounds, utterly humiliated, politically terminated, and their bloated egos comprehensively eviscerated. Governor Willie Obiano’s electoral victory means that the fate of Ndigbo is squarely in their own hands.
