Evil In Ikenga Community As Man Imprisoned Six Boys Illegally For Three Years

Evil In Ikenga Community As Man Imprisoned Six Boys Illegally For Three Years 

By Elochukwu Nicholas Ohagi

The first time I heard about this case was sometime last one year. By then these boys have been in prison illegally for two years already.

I went to Ikenga in Aguata Local Government of Anambra State and interviewed some people concerning this case. The story of a particular woman whose grandson was among the six boys imprisoned by this wicked, evil and dangerous young man was rather pathetic. The boy happened to be an only son to the old woman's late son. An Orphan taken from an old woman simply because there is absolutely no body to speak for her. 

I also was present in Ekwulobia High Court to witness one of those adjournments Chukwujekwu Nwokeke alias OKPOLE and his band of lawyers are using to keep six innocent boys in prison for a whooping three years now. When the court didn't sit as usual, I with one of the accused brother Dim Jimeto Chinazam headed to the prison at Ekwulobia and met the young boys.

Their looks pathetic and tells an ugly story of victimization. Victims of a nation where the rich can put you away for years provided he got the money and connections. They told me their encounter in the notorious Awkuzu SARS. They nearly died, for they were beaten, tortured and statements written for them with them thumb printing whatever was written for them.

To tell you that it was just a case of intimidation, one of the boys arrested by Chukwujekwu got people in high places. He made them seven, but paid his way to freedom and was released, thereby reducing their number to six.

Chukwujekwu Nwokeke is a very rich man, who has connections in politics. According to people, he has bragged openly how he is a right hand man to Arthur Eze and many other politicians, but what I don't know is if these politicians he brags with their names truly know the terrible bully Chukwujekwu NWOKEKE is.

He has a way of buying off the people. He uses his money to penetrate the hearts of people and controls their thought process. In Ikenga community, this notorious wicked bully is praised by those he controls. Thank God some few people are now waking up and questioning the small lion trying so hard to eat up the lesser animals.

What Transpired?

Criminals has gone to Chukwujekwu NWOKEKE's house in the village and made away with his properties. When Chukwujekwu returned from the city, he discovered that his properties have been stolen. He immediately got the services of SARS and arrested some boys without any known evidence suggesting they stole from him. They were all arrested at night in their respective houses. These boys were tortured near death, but the unsatisfied Chukwujekwu wasn't satisfied with the torture. He took them to prison and vowed that they will stay eternity in prison.

As I am writing this, apart from the court sitting that remanded them in prison, all other court sittings since the last three years are adjourned citing useless and senseless excuses till this very day. The Court sitting I attended didn't hold because the judge wasn't on sit. That is exactly how these six boys stayed in jail for three years and still counting.

I wonder how the Traditional Ruler of Ikenga sleeps at night.

I wonder the type of men answering cabinet and elders in Ikenga.

When will Ikenga people stand up to Chukwujekwu NWOKEKE Alias OKPOLE?

Pity Nigeria Private School Teachers by Elochukwu Ohagi

Pity Nigeria Private School Teachers 

I was looking at them and immediately I started questioning exactly the type of students these ones will be producing.

Teachers they called themselves, but among them I saw not just cowards, but people very much unworthy to guide the future generation. Forgive me, for I am not generalizing. 

No wonder people are still supporting the same politicians raping them mercilessly from behind. Teachers who believes only God will save us, are the ones handling our future generation. No wonder we produce only picture snapping social media users as students.

The future is not bright with some people calling themselves Teachers as drivers of the future. They are reproducing mostly what they are, cowards.

But yet, I pity them. I mean them Teachers. Yes, I do. Who can ever survive what they are surviving? Especially, those of them in the private sector. Covid-19 came and for months they went on with absolutely nothing. When the time came, students paid half of the school fees, yet some schools are yet to pay their Teachers same half salaries. They won't complain. They have been programmed not to complain. 

There is absolutely nothing put in place by the government to protect private school Teachers. They are at the mercies of the proprietors. They are not issued appointment letters and can be thrown out at any time, without payment. Reason they turned into cowards. Jobs needs to be protected, even if it entails becoming a coward. 

This is December. Many private school Teachers will go home for Christmas without their salaries. The school doesn't pay Christmas salaries till January. That is the law. They are afraid some Teachers will take the salary and will not return.

But...

They worked for it. It is their money. You didn't give them an appointment letter and yet afraid they will leave with their own sweat without notice. You feel paying them their money is them cheating you. No, it isn't. You know that anything goes in Nigeria and you feel you can do anything and nothing will ever happen.

Nigeria has no reason to continue existing. Nigeria has damaged lots of psyches.

For Fifty Years Nigeria Kept Biafrans Down To Avoid Biafra Re-emergence

How Nigeria Worked Against Themselves Thinking They are Working Against Biafra

The desolving of the Eastern region and the removal of many Igbo people from South East was done to make the world think that Igbo is just a dot in the Nigeria map. This will in turn kill the Biafra spirit and curtail any future quest for a separate nation of Biafra. But these moves by Nigeria Federal Government against Biafrans seems to now be working against Nigeria. 

For 50 years this worked for Nigeria as they perfected their divide and rule tactics on the people that were Eastern Region in 1960-67. The Izon (Ijaw) were remotely made to see the Igbo as their problem and the Igbo viewed them as an ungrateful brothers.

I did my unfruitful Nigeria NYSC program in Bayelsa. I had one explosive discussion one day with a teacher who is from a neighbouring state Rivers. He told me how Igbo people killed them during Biafra war. He told me about the forceful recruitment that went on during the war. He said the Igbo did all these to them. I asked him a question I never received an answer to till this very day. I asked him how he believed a military that lacked ammunition and almost confronted the invaders with bare hands could have used the little they had to attack their own brothers, whose men are also in the same Biafra Army. Forceful recruitment happened everywhere and more with the Igbo that formed the majority.

My late grandmother told me how markets were always frequented by the Biafra soldiers whose motive was to catch and recruit little adolescent boys into the military. An incident happened in Orie Akokwa. The Soldiers made a dash into the Market, rounding up the boys who came to save their family from hunger that has become an integral member of every family in Biafra Land as of that time. Mothers in the market had to hid the boys who weren't their children under their wrappers.

I also read from Maduebo's account of the war how Biafra soldiers used ordinary sports equipments to make sounds of guns, using it to hold off Nigeria invaders from attacking them until they get ammunition. This is the military people are accusing of using their limited weapons on their fellow comrades. I wonder how such will happen in a nation Philip Efiong was second in command and he didn't talk about it.

The divide and rule was so much that even Igbo people started denying their origin. Many fought so hard to distance themselves from being Igbo. Igbo towns were corrupted to sound un-Igbo.

Onicha, Ugwuta, Etche, Asaba, Ogwashiukwu, Ikwere etc all denied being Igbo starting from the years that followed the end of the war. Onicha man will always call an Igbo from other places 'Nwa Onye Igbo', claiming not being from Igbo. An Ikwere will pontificate how he is being forced to be Igbo against his wish. On Facebook, I encountered one that answers Uche trumpeting how he is not Igbo and from Benin.

The truth is that, after the terrible and horrendous defeat suffered by Biafra in the hands of British supported Nigeria government, it became a heculian task to be Igbo in Nigeria. Bearing Igbo names opens the door of rejection. The government quickly carved out lots of Igbo lands into what they called South South and they got the opportunity to deny their Igboness. Check the statistics properly. It was after the war that ndị Igbo started moving out of Nigeria in droves for survival. What can a people that had their monies in the bank and properties outside Igbo land taken do, if not to find a way to seek for survival? That was why ndị Igbo are scattered everywhere in the world. Nigeria forced them out. 

Coming to Nigeria, looking at what they have achieved so far, you did not believe that Igbo people lost anything during that genocidic war. For they have transformed every rejection and marginalization they received into benefits.

Nigeria had the opportunity to bring the Igbo back to being their fellow countrymen, but failed. Instead of bringing them back in love, they set up huddles for them, trying to cripple them.

The funny thing is that the many years the Igbo were put down by Nigeria, they never spared the same people denying being Igbo. They only pay one or few people from there who comes to recruit few liars, whose job is to confuse their own people, while they live in abject poverty amidst riches.

The Ijaw have totally lost their oil wells to the Fulani people of the North. They were told how Igbo were their problem, and they move against the Igbo and the Fulani took their oil wells from behind. The entire Ijaw land is today polluted. Goodluck Jonathan was practically thrown out of Aso Rock by those that feel Nigeria belongs to them. 

You need to pity the Ogoni people should you pay them a visit. Do you know that there is limited or no access to drinking Water in Ogoni as we speak? Some areas have gone for years without electricity. Ogoni is one of the many communities rich in oil in Nigeria, but they glory in poverty as we speak.

Nigeria took away their hero Ken Saro Wiwa, just as they took away Adaka Boro. These two individuals worked for One Nigeria and One Nigeria killed them for nothing.

Today, Nigeria seems to be losing it. All their evils against the East seemed to be coming back to haunt them. For both the Igbo, the Ijaw, Ogoni, Efik are all waking up and jettisioning the divide and rule game of the Fulani.

There is a new beginning which has made these people understand that even though they have different tongues, they still have same ancestry. They have for ages used same market and intermarried. There is this banding together that is growing among them. The people have risen up to reject the oligarchy and their agents masquerading as leaders in both the South East and South South.

The Biafrans forced out of Nigeria by the nepotistic Nigeria government have been reunited by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and they have vowed to restore Biafra. As it stands today, Biafrans are scattered all over the world and they are matching front, using their resources to make sure God's kingdom on earth is restored.

In Biafra, there will be no room for marginalisation. It is a complete confederacy of nations. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu rightly said that all component part of Biafra will have their own parliament and most importantly control their resources and commerce, meaning that Biafra will be everything Nigeria couldn't be.

The Need To Decolonize Our Minds (Marriage In Focus)

The Need To Decolonize Our Minds

(Marriage In Focus) 

By Elochukwu Nicholas Ohagi 

The understanding of Marriage and what marriage is for us in Africa is erroneously based on what the Europeans say marriage is.

The superiority of the white man's way of life has forced the Africans to take the European way of life as the ideal. You need to listen to our people when they talk about marriage. They tell you how marriage is totally between a Man and a woman, without any connection with their families. This is exactly how Europeans sees Marriage.

The Europeans have been changing the table without any one having the balls to question them. I can still remember them telling us how marriage should be only between one man and one woman. That was when our ancestors were marrying more wives according to their capabilities. They made it a sin for a man to marry more wives. Same Europeans now tell us that a man can marry fellow man. I have no issues with what a people choses to be their culture, never. My problem is when you force your culture on me and make it look as if it is the ideal. No culture is superior to another. 

My understanding of Marriage as an Igbo is what marriage is to me. To those that held tenaciously to the European way of life as the ideal, I must tell that they are the way they are today because of the years of colonization of them by the Europeans. In Igbo land, one person doesn't marry a wife. 'Otú onye anaghị alụ nwaanyị'. This doesn't mean others should have canal knowledge of your wife, never. It means that the family plays an important role in every marriage. No one marries alone. These helps to protect the woman. In Igbo land, we recognize ndị Ọgọ, (the wife's people and vise versa) every aspect of the people, even Ụmụ Ada, Ndị Ntorobịa and Ụmụ agbọghọ are all involved in marriage negotiations. We observe this kind of a communal living that is foreign to the white man.

Everyone understands his place and is never allowed to interfere unnecessarily. We do not encourage anyone to be bullied. We understand that some bad people might take advantage of certain aspects of our culture, and that's why Ụmụnna are always there to settle issues. There is also room for reforms.

We have copied everything, including the white man's laws as our own. We neglected everything about us and made our laws alien to our own very selves. Is this not why people don't recognise married people as married, even when they have done traditional marriage, until they do White Wedding.

We relegate our customary laws and make a constitution that stands against our way of life. We see ourselves, including our laws as inferior. And we think we can grow.

Marriage as an institution should be centered on our culture as a people and not on a foreign understanding of marriage. We must decolonize our mindset.

Things are never right simply because Europeans are doing it. Never!

51 Years After The War, Nigeria Government Is Still Killing And Kidnapping Biafrans by Elochukwu Ohagi

51 Years After The War, Nigeria Government Is Still Killing And Kidnapping Biafrans

There is nothing the Nigeria government has not done to keep Nigeria one. They have killed and lied to the world that all is well, whereas people are dying in Nigeria.

Nigeria first went into chaos just barely 6 years after independence in 1960. Some young soldiers had carried out a coup. Something majority of Nigerians termed a Nigeria revolution. It was a collection of soldiers from different parts of Nigeria that executed the coup.

BBC Hausa was already broadcasting as at that time. 'Igbo coup', they called it. They told the uneducated Northerners that the coup was a ploy by Igbos to take over Nigeria.

The British government at the time of independence, ensured that the leadership of the new country rest on the hands of the Fulani. The North had seriously protested that they are not ready for independence prior to 1960. Some analysts maintained that it is for the benefit of the British government that the country be kept in the hands of the Northerners than in the hands of the educated South. The impoverishment of the people to be called Nigeria will be gainful to Britain. Reason the British colonial masters went on to rig both elections and the population census; instituting corruption into the political system in Nigeria. Something the Fulani hold onto till this very day.

 Have you thought about it? That Africa is rich in natural resources, yet remains the poverty center of the world. Britain would rather encourage looting among Nigeria leaders, only to send aid to Nigeria. 'Robbing Peter to pay Paul.'

The incitement led by BBC started bearing fruit, when Northern soldiers regrouped and carried out a counter-coup, killing the then Head of state. It could have been termed an eye for an eye, since they killed the then military Head of State, Aguiyi Ironsi (Igbo), in retaliation against the first coup plotters who killed Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. They went further with their barbarism. Some Eastern officers serving in the North were gathered. They were about 300 soldiers. They were all rounded up and killed in a Northern Barack. When there are no more soldiers of Eastern extraction to kill, the blood thirsty Northern Soldiers and their mob descended on the innocent Eastern civilians residing and doing business in the North, and slaughtered almost all of them. More than 50,000 people were killed and bodies littered on the streets of Northern Nigeria. People that made it alive came home completely battered. Some came home without some body parts, while some returned home with the heads or fingers of their loved ones for burial.

This opened the door for the eventual war in1967.  That is after Yakubu Gowon, the then Nigeria Head of State, was persuaded to jettison the Aburi Accord. BBC propaganda machinery accused Gowon of finally bowing to Ojukwu. That was their description of the Aburi Agreement that would have saved millions of lives. The description wounded the ego of the northerners. The agenda of Britain was obvious. The Aburi Accord will give power back to the Easterners to rule themselves. Something Britain abhor totally. A power in their hands will mean that the people will take over their resources. Remember that during the war, Biafrans took charge of everything in their land. From drilling oil to refining it, Biafra was positioned as the fastest growing country in terms of technological innovations. The three year old war exposd the fears of Britain against the people of Biafra. Some people have asked why Britain hates to see Biafra freedom, and I have not failed to tell them that it is the ingenuity and natural endowment of Biafra that place Britain against her. The freedom of Biafra means Britain stands to lose a lot.

One would have thought Nigeria leaders should have reconciled the country after that war. But no, they have been fighting to subjugate the people that were Biafrans in 1967 to 1970, and to make sure they never rise up again. The motto of One Nigeria became 'Never allow Biafrans rise again'.

Lots of atrocities have been perpetrated against Biafrans by Nigeria government. Marginalisation is already an old tune among many things Nigeria has done to this people. There is no Federal Government presence in the entire East. With the numerous seas in Port Harcourt, Onitsha, Ugwuta, Calabar, Akwibom, Bayelsa, Opobo and Azumiri, Nigeria government have made sure no cargo lands there. Biafrans being the widely traveled, still can't fly abroad from their own region.

Military schools and training grounds are all in the North. Just recently, Nigeria borrowed money for infrastructural development, and removed South East as a Beneficiary of the railway to be constructed. Same Nigeria have already concluded plans to construct Railway all the way from the northern Kastina state all the way to Niger Republic. 

There were killings of about 50 MASSOB members in Anambra State some years ago; and their bodies dropped in Ezu River. Till today, no one has told the world what exactly happened to those 50 youths. That it happened under Peter Obi's watch, is still a sign that Nigeria politicians, irrespective of their tribe are despicable.

Again, they arrested Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, kept him in prison for 2 years, killed and incarcerated numerous of his followers.

Nigeria government expect Biafrans to do nothing as they are killed and marginalized. But Biafrans have refused to accept slavery and intimidation.

The news  from Igweocha in Rivers state, today 1st October 2020 is disturbing. Nigeria security operatives, it was reported, are moving from house to house arresting IPOB members and taking them to an unknown location.

How Nigeria government thinks arresting people sitting in their homes will keep Nigeria One is the 9th wonder of the world. The fact that they go after peaceful Biafrans in their various homes, leaving their deadly Fulani herdsmen brothers to keep killing people is unimaginable and shows that Nigeria should never have been a country.

Nigeria @60; A Tale Of A Dying Country Witten By Elochukwu Ohagi

Nigeria @60; A Tale Of A Dying Country

As a young man, I repeatedly ask myself this questions: What exactly is Nigeria celebrating at 60years? Is this how it will be when I become an old man? 

Just 7 years after Nigeria's independence in 1960, Nigeria went into a civil war that turned into a British supervised genocide against Biafrans. A brutal war was fought, and the defending Biafrans lost more than 3.5million people, mostly children. With the integration of Biafra back to Nigeria, one would have thought that 60 years after, Nigeria will be celebrating a prosperous sixty years characterised with infrastructural development and civilisation. But the reverse has been the case.

Nigeria as a country is endowed with natural wealth and resources. They have for more than 60 years drilled oil, yet Nigeria remains the poverty capital of the world.

Other nations like Dubai, UAE and Saudi Arabia that discovered same oil have turned their respective countries into first world countries. While Nigeria for the past 60 years, can't even boast of ordinary steady electricity supply.

What exactly is Nigeria celebrating? Is it insecurity ravaging the country or what? Today, both the military, police and secret services are working to protect the Fulani herdsmen and offer them logistics. Fulani herdsmen have killed more than 1,600 people in the last 6 months, yet not even one single person amongst them has been arrested and brought to justice. They are occupying and renaming villages of those they attacked. 

Will Nigeria be celebrating the recruitment of Boko Haram terrorists into the Army? Or is it the bombing of the IDP camp by Nigeria Airforce?

Nigeria is a country of looters. A country where the government claim to feed with billions of Naira, school children already living in their respective homes during Covid-19 lockdown. A country whose politicians claim to have shared billions as palliative, whereas in actual sense, they simply enriched themselves. Nigeria breeds the worse of politicians in the whole world. Nigeria's political office holders are one of the highest paid in the world, with billions as allowances. Yet it doesn't stop them from looting the country dry. Nigeria politicians borrow money from foreign nations and loot almost all.

The people are meant to suffer it all. The government have refused to cut down their extravagant lifestyles. They rather tax the people. Today, there is nothing you do without enriching the government. Even if you are making calls, you are as well paying VAT. You are paying in or withdrawing money from the bank, you are paying the Nigeria government some commissions. People are debited right left and center.

Upon all these, they heartlessly increased fuel prize and electricity tariff. This is coming from a government whose policies have strangulated many companies and businesses, and forced millions to lose their jobs.

In Nigeria, bandits are killing people on a daily basis. Kidnapping is now a normal story. News of hundreds of deaths doesn't perturb us again. It is now normal to hear of the killing of 300 people in one night by the Fulani herdsmen.

The worst is that the people have all been cowed into silent submission. No one is talking. The government has either suppressed or bought over those that should be talking. Those that refused to be bought have been so harassed to the extent that they all are afraid to speak out. DSS is always there to invite and question people for criticising the government. 

The level of poverty in the land has turned the people into 'mumu' for the politicians. Gone are the days you hear about protest from the people. The students unions have been bought. The Labour unions are now toothless bulldogs. The government is ready to spend huge money to buy people to their side, than use the money to work for the people.

As a young man, I want you to think about Nigeria and ask yourself if there is any good thing that is worth celebrating about Nigeria at 60years. Is it the arbitrary arrest and shooting of peaceful protesters? Or the injustice and marginalization going on in Nigeria? Or is it the borrowing of our entire future by men in their 70s and 80s? What actually are you celebrating?

In all honesty, we should be thinking of how to end Nigeria peacefully. A country that has no single thing to celebrate at 60years, should not be existing.

All of them supporting 'One Nigeria' are either the same politicians that have killed Nigeria, their relatives, puppets or circle of friends.

We all should join Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB and Oduduwa people to Sit At Home come 1st October, because there is absolutely nothing to celebrate about a dying country. We are better apart, than managing an unworkable contraption.

ERNEST CHIJIOKE AND THE HYPOCRISY OF NIGERIA MEN OF GOD

ERNEST CHIJIOKE AND THE HYPOCRISY OF NIGERIA MEN OF GOD

It is with a sad and heavy heart that I received the news of a certain self-acclaimed pastor called, Ernest Chijioke of Heavenly Road Evangelical Church,  located at Ogbaku, Onitsha-Owerri Road, Imo State, who reportedly insulted and humiliated IPOB members in his Church on a Sunday morning. This unthinking man asked IPOB members in his church to stand up and matched them out of his Church. After which he centered his sermon on IPOB, denigrating IPOB and everything IPOB stands for. 

Pastor Ernest Chijioke 

Before you come up with your usual 'touch not my anointed and my prophet do no harm' lines, I want to remind you that this line is the most abused lines in the Holy Bible by African Pastors and Priests. These lines have been used to hoodwink millions of Christians and helped transformed these Pastors into demigods. We live in a clime where correcting a man of God is seen as an attack against God. 

Use a moment and think of what Jesus Christ would have done in this very situation. Jesus Christ welcomed sinners and preached the Gospel of Love. Jesus Christ didn't side with the Roman Emperors against the people. He stood with the oppressed and gave hope to their battered souls.

However, in this situation, IPOB members are no sinners. In fact, IPOB like the biblical Christ have paid with their lives for the freedom of their own people. Young men in their 20s and 30s were gunned down in their prime for peacefully demonstrating and demanding for referendum. IPOB is saying an emphatic no to the atrocities happening in Nigeria. They have seen that Nigeria's continued existence kills more souls frequently, so they are campaigning for self determination, which is their right, according to UN laws.

But unfortunately, a man that claims to be a man of God chose to insult these revolutionaries, pitching his tenth with the oppressors of his own people. He supports a terrorist government of Nigeria. A government that supports Fulani herdsmen to keep killing indigenous people. A government that have dropped a bomb in an IDP camp killing thousands and wounding many. A government that has destroyed the economy, made lives excruciatingly difficult for people, including his own faithfuls, by raising fuel prize and electricity tariff. A group of criminals that loots the resources. 

Do this Pastor understand exactly what the people are passing through in Nigeria, and still gives him their huge offerings and tithes? I remember Desmond Tutu of South Africa, a fearless warrior of God. He stood with his people. What of Martin Luther, the King? He fought for the liberation of the Blacks in America. He is an Envangelist. 

Biafrans for the past 50 years have been suffering marginalisation in the hands of Nigeria. The federal government recently borrowed money for infrastructural development, but refused to include South East as a beneficiary; yet South East will contribute in repaying the loan. When South West has four Sea Ports, and North with two working dry ports, South East and South South can't boast of a single working Sea Port, even with their many seas and Rivers. What of international airports? Biafrans live in a country they are denied infrastructure, but forced to accept RUGA and their water ways taken. Python dance has been brought against peaceful protesters, but nothing done to Fulani herdsmen wiping out villages and towns. So tell me that Pastor Ernest Chijioke is not seeing all these abnormalities and inhuman treatment being meted on his people?

Pastor Ernest Chijioke is a Pastor after the devils heart. He is evil and dines with the devil. He makes the people pay tithes to him and yet still supports politicians and governors who oppress the people. Only the blind will keep attending his Church after this sad incident.

Personally, I don't believe any of his apologies, until he goes back to his church and make an honest apology.

Our men of God can't continue dishing out prophecies for and dinning with the same politicians killing their own people.

Edo Guber-Election: Another Reason Nigeria Should No Longer Exist

Edo Guber-Election: Another Reason Nigeria Should No Longer Exist

Everything about Nigeria has proven that it is a country that shouldn't have been in the first place. The people of the North are always seen thinking and acting differently from the Southerners. It is always from one bloodbath to another in the North. Something the Fulani herdsmen have also taken to the South, killing farmers in their farm lands, destroying their crops, raping their women and horrendously murdering them.

The Fulani who are in charge of Nigeria have been fighting to conquer and subdue Biafra people both politically and economically. With the shutdown of seaports in the Biafra Cities of Igweocha, Calabar, Warri and Onitsha, they also conspire to mount and impose their willing tools as political leaders in the entire Biafra Land.

It started in Imo state, where the Fulani who are the slave masters of the people trapped in Nigeria, used the Supreme Court Of Nigeria to shortchange the people's mandate. Using the supreme Court, they allotted mysterious and invincible votes to Hope Uzodimma who came fourth in the election.

The Fulani have succeeded in gifting Biafrans with governors that slaves for them, instead of serving their own people. With the exception of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state, other governors in Biafra Land are puppets of the North.

It is the same thing they planned to do in Edo State. Once a slave disobeys them, the person is subdued and replaced by another willing slave. Governor Obaseki went against his makers otherwise known as his political godfathers, and they tried to use a pastor who transformed to an Islamic Imam to replace him. A sinister plot they almost executed, if not for the prompt intervention of the USA, who banned some of the notorious APC election riggers, forcing them not to take Edo like they did in other places.

Every Biafran should understand that without the intervention from the US government, APC would have claimed Edo on that 19th September election. The question we all should ask ourselves is this: For how long are we going to stay in a country where the North is in a continuous project to subdue the South, instead of growing the nation? Are you not tired of a country, that would only allow people's votes to count, only when another country gives them Visa ban?

The just concluded Edo election is another prove to even the most undiscerning person in the entire Biafra Land, that Nigeria as a country has no reason to continue existing. Biafrans should work hard to peacefully separate themselves from the entity called Nigeria. This will benefit the various ethnic nationalities who are completely different from each other in terms of reasoning, culturally, religiously and politically.

The world should be made to understand that separating Biafra, Oduduwa and Middle Belt from core Arewa North will not only grow these different nations economically, it will also return peace back to West Africa, by checkmating inflow of terrorists.

When Are We Going to Make Laws That Will Permit Castration Of Looters?

When Are We Going to Make Laws That Will Permit Castration Of Looters

The Recent law made by Kaduna State governor, Mallam El-Rufai has once again proven the insensitivity of the Nigeria leaders pertaining to the people they lead. 

One would have expected a governor whom terrorists have been killing his own people in Southern Kaduna, to make a law against Terrorism, but no, he will rather focus on rape. 

The worse is that the unsuspecting Nigerians are applauding him for making a law that proposes castration for RAPISTS. 

The question we must ask ourselves is this. How many Fulani herdsmen have been arrested for raping farmers both in Southern Kaduna and elsewhere? Non, but yet he made a law against rape. 

When these senseless governors makes senseless laws, senseless ụmụ enwe will Keep praising them.

Imagine a governor his fellow Fulani herdsmen kills people, rapes them in hundreds, and occupy their villages, making laws, about castrating Rapists. How many people have been killed in Southern Kaduna? How many were arrested? How many were raped by these Fulani herdsmen? How many did he arrest as the governor? 

Until opposition people and Activists are set up, accused falsely of rape and barbarically castrated, you guys will not understand.

The same way you all brought an antiquity and made him president, is the same way you all are supporting nonsense and giving barbarians powers they will use against you.

When are we going to start castrating looters?

Somewhere in Imo state, a governor made law to arbitrarily arrest people as much as he wants. Terrible people.

An Activist Describes Today's Igbo Leaders As Sons Of Betrayals

The Transition Of Leadership Betrayals In Igbo Land 

When I say that Ndị Igbo lost leadership immediately after the war, some people don't really understand it.

The Biafra war brought many woes to the people of Biafra, which amongst other things includes loss of good Leadership. The fight to disorient the Igbos started during and after the war, and has continued till today. This is perpetrated by enthroning and empowering people who within themselves, never believed in the Igbo struggle or emancipation.

The creation of the East Central State was a ploy by the British-Nigeria government to divide Biafra. Ukpabi Asika, a pro Nigeria intellectual was appointed as the Civilian Ambassador to East Central State. An office he held during the war and after the war. 

Asika from Lagos, addressed his own people as 'rebels', and called on them to lay down their weapons. Asika’s first of such speeches was 'Enough is Enough' (10 November, 1967); wherein he stated thus:

"Come forward now and let us stop this war. This wanton destruction of lives and property. Enough is enough. You have seen the contrast between the security and the prosperity which Ojukwu promised you, by seeking to cut the cords that tie you with the country, and the destruction, the waste and the insecurity in which you now live. I am speaking to you as a fellow Nigerian, an Iboman, who has also suffered. Even as I speak to you I do not know the extent of the waste, the damage, the destruction that has been done to my home at Onitsha, to my family and my friends and to all those very, very dear to me. Can you imagine that I do not care? [...] To those of you who fled your homes, in Enugu and the areas of Nsukka I wish to make a special appeal that you now return. Your protection and security are assured [...] The rebels, in arms, are invited to lay down their arms, or better still turn over the arms to the Nigerian Army. All rebels who do so will be treated with clemency and understanding. Already the Federal Military Government has stated that all soldiers, no matter on which side they fought, would [sic] be fully rehabilitated."

The above is the mindset of an efulefu who saw his people that were killed in millions, forced out of their comfort zones as refugees, only to turn around and label them as rebels. He was practically used by the North against his people.

Asika's administration of the East after the war saw the recruitment of people with his replica mindset into power, as well as the gradual and complete retrenchment of people with the Biafra spirit from the corridors of governance. Those that don't want to lose their jobs or denied appointments started abiding with same mindset. Within a short period, lots of selfish individuals and betrayers of their own people became leaders in Igbo land. 

It is not a surprise that leaders in Igbo land are always standing on a different stage with the people they claim to be representing. The Northern hegemony, who are in charge of Nigeria throw up anyone that slaves sheepishly for them into power in Igbo land. It became worse that the people lost even the power to decide who become their political leaders. This is evidenced in the last Imo State election that saw Hope Uzodimma suddenly become the Governor of Imo state. Something made possible by the Fulani hegemony through the instrumentality of the supreme Court of Nigeria. 

Almost all the leaders in Igbo land, from Ohanaeze down to the governors and Senators are all stooges of the Fulani. They obey the Fulani and are always seen standing against their own people.

The people on their own are helpless. An Igbo adage says, 'onye ji igu ka Ewu na eso'(The goat only follows any person in possession of the Palm-frond). The Fulani having empowered these men, now lure them to use their ill gotten wealth to buy the conscience of the people. It has been this way unchanged, until the coming of IPOB.

With Mazi Nnamdi Kanu led IPOB coming to the stage, it ceased to be business as usual for these selfish Igbo leaders, who have for the past 50 years betrayed their own people. IPOB has exposed them, making the people to understand the magnitude of betrayal they have received in the hands of the people calling themselves Igbo leaders. From the time of Ukpabi Asika till this day, Igbo land has been ruled by Betrayals and Saboteurs.

2020 And Beyond; An Insight To What Is To Come By Elochukwu Ohagi

2020 And Beyond? 

The most pregnant of all year. The year corona virus came, putting the world at ultimate standstill. A year even the greatest looters of Nigeria resources died because even with their huge stolen money, they couldn't travel abroad to acquire good sound health care. Just like the ordinary Nigerian, they died inside the abattoirs called Nigeria Hospitals. 

A very unpredictable year. A year IPOB, whom have been killed for many years by Nigeria government raised their dragon flag. I heard the IPOB Leader say, during one of his evening broadcast, a voice radiating through the London airwaves, into the streets of Biafra Land saying 'from now on, we shall retaliate whenever we are killed.' It is now eye for eye for a peaceful freedom fighting group who was massively killed in Onitsha, Asaba, Igweocha, Aba and Afaraukwu countless times without them reacting. A group that maintained peace even when an attempt was made on the life of their own leader right inside his house, by Nigeria military. That very day 28 men and one lady were murdered.

What changed? At Emene, DSS left Abuja and slaughtered 21 unarmed IPOB members. It happened in the unpredictable year called 2020.

Crisis is coming. Chaos is coming and Nigeria will be gone. 2020!

The Fulani controlled Nigeria government will like to go to war again. They will even like to instigate it, as to crush the peaceful uprising for freedom. But they will get a cold feet from Oduduwa. Middle Belt will be ready and willing to raise a flag. The Fulani will stand alone. Even the Hausa will rise against them. To reclaim their kingdom stollen from them by Uthman Dan Fodio. 2020, a year Fulani went harder using both terrorism and state power to uphold the supremacy of Islam. A year their power will be crushed, that they will feel like wanting to park out of what will ever remain of Nigeria. The truth is that no matter how they tell you about HausaFulani, there is Hausa and there is Fulani. One a conquered and enslaved, while the other the master and the conqueror. And no matter how long you enslave a man, one day he will rise up against his enslaver. For 300 years Africans were enslaved in America and Europe, yet they rose up one day. 

2020, a year of chaos, hunger and war.

Biafra will become a reality. The Nigeria government knows, Britain knows and the world knows. For the first time, they have seen a movement they can never uproot. A prince from the trigger of the gun. An incorruptible prince has been born. He is destined to liberate his people.

Will there be peace within Biafra after restoration? There will be, but not immediate. Saboteurs will rise. Their hatred for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB will unite them. The dubious Eastern politicians that served under the corrupt Nigeria will like to steal power using them. They will be sponsored and fight to negotiate power, and when their evil demands are not met, they will arm themselves.

We must be vigilant. We must restore Biafra. We must born a clean nation. We have died, imprisoned, jailed and and suffered hunger, we MUST NOT NEGOTIATE BIAFRA with anyone. Not with the saboteurs neither with the dirty breed of Nigeria politicians of Biafran origin.

Why am I saying this? 2020 and beyond. I see choas, I see ruins but victory and freedom lies ahead.

They can mock and mock, but it can't stop a determined people.

Those that still mock, and believe the words of their masters telling them that Biafra is a dream that can't be actualize should start having a rethink. Biafra is here and God is with them.

They said Fulani herdsmen will start killing with government support and it happened.

They said ISIS is coming, you laughed and mocked. Today, ISIS is here.

They said that anyone that has hands in the killing of IPOB members will die, have they not died? He even mentioned names.

What have he said that didn't happen?

And he said Biafra will come and you are laughing.

Watch this 2020. Start cultivating, embrace agriculture. Start planning for any eventuality. Nothing last forever, including Nigeria.

Nigeria; An Abattoir Where Good People Are Massacred By Elochukwu Ohagi

Nigeria: An Abattoir Where Good People Are Massacred

Chinua Achebe appears to be a prophet as regards to predicting accurately the future of Nigeria through his novels. His satirical novel "A Man Of The People" comes to mind. There, he showcased the level of corruption and barbarity ravaging Nigeria. He presented characters that were at first loved by the people, some were even former Teachers, but ended up in corruption and embezzlement of public funds.

Some years after, although Chinua Achebe is gone, Nigeria remains an abattoir were good people are butchered on a daily basis. Nigeria corrupts even the incorruptible. You only need to join politics or start supporting a politician, then you gradually start losing yourself.

Many people at a particular time have risen with promise of bringing salvation to the people, but only few stood tall till the end for their people. It is only recently that a British colonial officer stated that the great Zik of Africa, Nnamdi Azikiwe was compromised. Taking the East to go into alliance with the North wasn't for the interest of the people. It was Zik working for Britain against his own people. The East should have formed alliance with the West. The funny part of it is that the people supported Nnamdi Azikiwe's move, because they trusted him wholeheartedly. Nevertheless, Zik allowed himself to be used against his own people.

Biafra is almost totally forgotten until Ralph Uwazurike resurrected her and put up a movement. Movement For The Actualization Of The Sovereign State Of Biafra (MASSOB) he called it. It swept the entire South East and people embraced his message of freedom. Then prison happened. While in prison, the man of freedom changed into another thing. Nigeria happened to him. Nigeria changed him.

It became clear that Uwazurike has been broken. He sold out, while pretending to still fight for Biafra.

During Anambra State election campaign, he was in open roof vehicle campaigning for Gov Willie Obiano and against IPOB election Boycott. At Electronics Market and Head Bridge, angry and disappointed Easterners threw sachets of pure water at him.

At a particular time, IPOB members were arrested, imprisoned and killed, MASSOB members were flying Biafra flag at Upper Iweka and dancing around, with Nigeria Police and Army admiring them. I looked at them and shaked my head in dismay. I pitied the men he is still fooling. I was told he informed his followers that Military men didn't molest them because Nigeria fears him.

That particular moment Obasanjo's government allowed Raph Uwazurike to go and bury his mother and never went after him till now, was when he sold out. He can't go against his agreement with Nigeria, even if he wants to. You know why? These agreements always accompany corrupt gifts and dealings. You will never go against it, and your secrets will remain hidden.

That notwithstanding, I still respect Uwazurike for the fire of Biafra awareness he rekindled. I detest Nigeria for murdering good people. 

Asari Dokubo is another of Uwazurike's kind. He is another man that Nigeria prison changed. Both Asari's tango with IPOB and his misunderstanding with IPOB is all for the interest of One Nigeria. I must tell you with all certainty that Asari Dokubo started his fight for the emancipation of Niger Delta with all sincerity of heart. But along the line, they got to him. He appeared to have negotiated deals with them, and that was when he started the game of the more you look, the less you see.

I still find it absurd that a man fighting for the emancipation of his people will agree to a contract deal to guard Oil Pipelines. That was how the owner of Oil was turned into a guard for pipeline by the people that have no drop of oil in their lands.

Ask yourself these questions. Has oil pollution stopped in Niger Delta?

Has Ogoni land been cleaned? How is the environment in Niger Delta? Is 13% enough compensation for those that own the oil and suffer its numerous hazards? Then why is Asari Dokubo no more talking? Why is he no more fighting? An agreement must have been reached. He once in a while makes empty videos to fool people. Asari cashed-in inside prison. He is now supper rich, while Niger Delta is still poor. He built a massive University abroad when his people don't have school to go to. He demands for an account from IPOB, but mounts no pressure against Nigeria government looting his people dry. Asari that went to prison is completely different from the one that came out. Imagine what we will achieve should Asari and Uwazurike start exposing the evils of Nigeria government. Their voices are no more loud. Have you asked why?

Femi Fani Kayode also went to prison. With what is happening today, I won't be wrong if I say that the former Aviation Minister was arranged to be in prison same time Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was in prison. Some elements want him to fraternize with the IPOB Leader. He was planted there to break, steal information and confuse him. To make him drop his agitation. Fani Kayode was the one that wrote when Mazi Nnamdi Kanu appeared in Israel, telling us how he has concluded with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to vote out Buhari in 2019. It turned out he lied. Fani Kayode's little imprisonment and his rapor with IPOB Leader endeared him to the people. He started writing articles on what the people would love to hear. And more people kept praising him. His article calling Abba Kyari a good man and making it Igbo bashing by telling us how it was Abba his friend that made Enugu Airport and Second Niger Bridge to be built, was a pointer to the double agent he is, but lots of people never believed. Today, he went to Zamfara, took a Fulani title and now tells us how beautiful RUGA is. Everything about him have changed completely.

Nigeria doesn't make a saint out of people. Nigeria destroys people. It doesn't matter if you are a Priest, Bishop, Iman, Activist or Freedom Fighter. Once you get close, you are destroyed. Is that not why Chinua Achebe avoided Nigeria like a plague. He even rejected awards offered to him by the Nigeria government on different occasions. He understood Nigeria perfectly. Nigeria kills immaculate characters. That is why some men of God are still supporting Buhari and APC till today. Leave Nigeria while you can. You will never regret you did.

Only two influential men have gone to Nigeria Prison, come out, and still remain their true selves. One is Fela Kuti, and the other is Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Fela without committing any crime was thrown into prison by General Muhammadu Buhari, the then Military Head of State. Fela was in prison for five years, came out and continued his message. Unfortunately, he was a lone voice. The Nigeria populace would rather talk about his women and smoking than the raw truth he was speaking about.

I believe Nigeria Government must have thought bringing in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will offer them opportunity to buy him out. Even Orji Ụzọ Kalu was sent to meet Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kuje prison by the government to facilitate the move towards luring him to become a typical corrupt, heartless, wicked and senseless Nigeria politician, but they failed woefully. He rejected their oil wells, said no to their vice-presidential offer, said to hell with their money and refused to betray his people. This is exactly what distinguishes Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from others. They are just two, Fela, an Oduduwa man and Nnamdi Kanu a Biafran.

It is left for you to understand the game and know whom to follow, so as not to be fooled by numerous double agents masquerading as activists, freedom fighters and mouth piece of the people.

The future is blink. Nigeria is going down. The weight of corruption, looting, marginalization, bad governance, killing of Christians by herdsmen and Boko Haram will definitely pull the country down. 

May God bless us and keep us all away from evil people.

Elochukwu Ohagi : Africa Is Not Under The Control Of Africans

Africa Is Not Under The Control Of Africans

By Elochukwu Nicholas Ohagi
For Family Writers Press International.

Gaddafi was killed for a reason. He tried to hand over Africa back to African people. Apart from the pre colonial days, Africans have never been in charge of Africa. Africa is seen by the imperialists as a field of raw materials for Europeans and Americans; therefore its inhabitants must be manipulated in order to continue keeping Africa down. They must not take charge over themselves.

Before you come with that gospel of blaming Europeans for Africa's problems, I want you to understand that your leaders are in this game with them. They are their puppets. It is a systematic slavery. Yes, slavery is still on. Africa is a giant slave camp. Our leaders safeguard the camp for their Western masters.

Africa needs to be in war. Africa needs to be ruled by corrupt leaders for the imperialists to continue keeping Africa down. The stunted growth of Africa  benefits the Europeans. When you are not progressing, when you are at war with yourselves and refuse to pave way for democracy, you will hand over your resources to the Europeans. Africa is blessed with abundance of natural resources, and Europeans need these natural resources. They could have wiped off Africans if it is possible, but there are still ways to use Africans to kill themselves. That is why good leaders get driven out or killed in Africa, while the corrupt ones who are ready to play the dirty game are protected by the Europeans and powerful governments around the globe.

Africa is rich in natural resources, yet inhabits the poorest of people on earth. Have you ever thought of that? Crude oil was discovered in Nigeria in the 50s, yet Nigeria is currently the poverty capital of the world, with rotten environment that is almost beyond redemption. No good road, no good hospitals, no pipe borne water, no housing. The government does absolutely nothing for the people. They rather steal from the people using taxes and banks, while looting the country's resources dry.
On the other hand, Dubai discovered same oil and used it to build a modern nation. They have super cities and best hospitals. Their leaders think about their interests and the future of their own people.

Some Africans have said religion is the problem of Africa. African people will defend their God and kill their fellow African because of their God. Limbs are cut simply because someone spoke against their God. Africans are brainwashed into believing that  it is better they enjoy wealth in heaven and live pyshically poor on earth. They are prepared to endure poverty with the hope of eternal life after. They even encourage poverty and see the failures of the government as punishment from God for their numerous sins. Don't the Europeans also commit sins? If yes, why then are they progressing? Religion is weaponized in Africa. Ignorance is bliss. Hungry Africans  rise to defend their Pastors and Priests who feed fat on them, fly private jets, neglect the poor, and live flamboyant lifestyles.

Religion is there in America, Europe and Asia. Saudi Arabia and Dubai are core Muslim countries, yet they are beautiful and progressive. Why then is Nigeria and Africa this backward? Ignorance led to the weaponization of religion in Africa.

The Americans and Europeans shout that Africa is fantastically corrupt, but they too supports African leaders who are corrupt.
Britain rigged the first election ever conducted in Nigeria in favor of the uneducated Fulani. They have maintained it in such a way that the Fulani would always be in charge of Nigeria. It is a direct access which the British government gave itself for the purpose of controlling and benefiting from  Nigeria's resources.
In Cameroon, a corrupt dictator have been in charge of the country for three decades, ably supported by France. They are at war with Ambazonia.
Sometime ago in Ivory Coast, Mr Gbagbo became a victim of a French plot. France is so powerful that they can rig out any president with the interest of their people at heart. Of course, the interest of Africans must stand against that of the Europeans.

They give Africa aides upon aides, monies looted from Africa through the corrupt African leaders. In fact, they give with the knowledge that the rogues they support in power in Africa will surely loot the entire money and stock it back in European Banks.

In 2015, Britain supported the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria president. Prior to 2015 polls, Buhari is a certificateless  old soldier, who cannot comprehend questions thrown at him using English language, not to talk of having the mental capacity to lead a country. But Britain supported him against a more educated and mentally refined Goodluck Jonathan, and succeeded in making him president. Today, Nigeria's economy that was once the fastest growing economy in Africa has crashed completely. Businesses have collapsed, and investors keep exiting the country in droves. The British interest is to control Nigeria, be in charge of the oil using the Fulani minority tribe as proxy.

Getting Nigeria working is against the interest of Britain. A little time Nigeria was left in the hands of a Biafran saw Britain losing their grip on Nigeria. Indigenous technocrats were all invited home to take the lead, but Britain fought to sack the president that made that possible.

Just like Thomas Sankara was stopped, so was Biafra's sovereignty truncated in 1967/70. Biafra is a nation the European colonial powers do not want. And that has never changed. That is why they are supporting every move made by the Fulani against Biafrans. Only few foreign media coverage about the killings of Christians in Nigeria by the Fulani herdsmen.

Biafrans must fight harder to restore the sovereign nation called Biafra. A country called Biafra, will not only favor Biafrans. It will favor the entire Africa. Biafra, just like in 1967 will bring to the front line the ingenuity of the black man. Biafra will hand the control of Africa into the hands of Africans.

HOW AN IKENGA MAN NAMED CHUKWUJEKWU NWOKEKE ILLEGALLY IMPRISONED SIX IKENGA YOUTHS WITHOUT TRIAL FOR THREE YEARS

Imprisoned For Three Years Without Trial For Committing No Crime


On 17th of July 2020 I left my base to Ekwulobia for a court case involving Mr Dim Chikezie and five other accused. I arrived the court some minutes to 10 o'clock Am. The accused ought to have sited in the court waiting for the Judge to arrive, but non was around, except these two inmates on blue uniform, with their hands handcuffed to each other. The court didn't sit because the judge was absent.

The court was adjourned once again like they have been doing from the inception of this case since nearly three years ago.

I got information that Mr CHUKWUJEKWU NWOKEKE Popularly known as OKPOLE was in that same court a day to 17th, together with some of the lawyers in charge of the case. What he was there to do on a day Lawyers went to apply for bail application, no one knows. But the case was once again adjourned till September 25th.

I left the court with Mr Dim Jimeto Chinazam the brother to one of the accused and we headed to Ekwulobia Prison to see the inmates.

The prison looks dirty and unkempt. The prison wardens were in high spirit. I was told if we didn't grace their palms, we can't see the inmates. I saw them extort money from my companion. You will pay at the gate and also at the entrance to the prison. After all the ugly rituals that made Nigeria what it is, the inmates came to meet us. They appeared cheerful and in high spirits. But immediately I started talking to them, all the cheerfulness made a dash and left them.

What do you think made your case not to hold today in court? I asked them. They all said they don't know, or something that sounded like that. Don't you think something is wrong somewhere? How is it that since close to 3 years you all are held in prison, it has been adjournments upon adjournments. Is something not fishy? I probed further. Immediately, their facial outlook changed. They seemed to have taken a swift flashback and noticed same thing. It couldn't have been a coincidence that their hearing always get postponed for more than 2 and half years now. Somebody is definitely pressing some buttons.

They told me how their accuser made it to the prison the day the Judge came for prison visit. Judges do visit the prison at intervals. They use their visit to decongest the prison. Some people do get instant release. So I was told. What brought Mr CHUKWUJEKWU NWOKEKE alias OKPOLE to that prison that very day can only be imagined.

I wanted to hear from the inmates why and how they were arrested and imprisoned. It was a story of human rights abuses. A terrible story at that. Dim Chikezie, an inmate told me how he was sleeping in his father's house with his mother on 16th of February 2018 and there came this bang around 2pm in the night. They first thought they were armed robbers. When they couldn't open the door, they climbed into the roof from the ceiling, got to the room and jumped in, destroying their ceiling. That was how all of them were rounded up and arrested that night in similar fashion.

Two or three days earlier, some thieves have gone to the house of Mr CHUKWUJEKWU NWOKEKE and made away with his properties. Mr CHUKWUJEKWU is an Onitsha based business man. He also plays politics. Those that knew him very well told me he is a staunch member of PDP. He constantly brags of his connections with Arthur Eze to the villagers who sings his praises. Mr CHUKWUJEKWU is literally worshiped in his village. The kings and cabinets honours him. He didn't fail to extend his philanthropy to Ikenga people during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mr CHUKWUJEKWU needed to show example with some people. He went to the village security, who immediately brought forward names of some vulnerable boys as suspects. Ikenga vigilant went for children of widows and orphans. Three of the boys were orphans, while the remaining three are children of widows and a single mother. They needed those that can't put up a fight and these boys became appropriate. Their crime is being no bodies in Ikenga, where there are rich men like Mr CHUKWUJEKWU NWOKEKE.

Mr CHUKWUJEKWU used Ekwuloba SARS to get the unfortunate boys arrested. At first, in Ekwuloba, they were charged with Break and Enter. Statements were made and the boys denied any knowledge of the incident. But it seems their accuser is out to deal with them.

They were moved from Ekwuloba SARS to Awkuzu SARS. That was exactly where they saw hell. According to Chikezie, one of the accused, no one can survive that torture. Hanging they called it. Virtually all of them in the SARS net accepted they stole the property as the result of the grievous torture. Chikezie even told me how he told them the entire property was packed inside their house. When SARS took him to their house and recovered nothing, he received another round of beating right their in his late father's house.

Chikezie who works as a Mason is now being paraded as a common thief. The popular opinion in Ikanga is that Mr CHUKWUJEKWU NWOKEKE allegedly went to a certain native doctor in Nsukka who said it was these boys that stole the missing properties.

Mr Chikezie Dim showed me his shoulders, how they were broken. He showed me his wrists, they are making kron-kron sounds as he rotates them. A sign they were still broken. Right there in Awkuzu SARS, they were so tortured that they couldn't walk with their legs. Mr CHUKWUJEKWU NWOKEKE gave order that anyone that came for them should be arrested. That was how one of the mothers of the inmates, a single mother was detained in SARS for one night. To avade the human Rights personnel that do visits Awkuzu SARS at intervals to make sure no one stays there pass two weeks, SARS will always take the accused to other places, only to bring them back whenever the human rights personnel must have gone. These boys stayed in Awkuzu SARS for 6 weeks before they were reminded in prison. They were forced to sign a plain sheet each as their statement.
It means that their accuser together with the SARS wrote their statements. This I was made to understand, is not new to those that have had encounter with Awkuzu SARS.

One of them that was arrested were released in Awkuzu before they were taken to prison in 2018. They said he is innocent. How they determined his innocency and found others guilty is what I can't tell.

When Mr CHUKWUJEKWU NWOKEKE found out that the Charge of Break and Enter won't take the boys to prison, he manoeuvred his way and smuggled in Armed Robbery charge. The only court they attended till this day was the sitting that reminded them in prison. It has been adjournment upon adjournment.

The questions begging for answers are...

 How is it that these six boys have been in prison without the court hearing their case?

 Who is behind the numerous adjournment being suffered in this case?

 If indeed they have evidence against these boys, why are they evading court hearing using dubious adjournment?

 Why are the lawyers handling this case not worried about the numerous adjournment?

 Why was the charge of Break and Enter changed to Armed Robbery?

 How come these so called Armed Robbers were arrested in their different homes?

 How did they come to know it was these boys that stole the properties?

 How come they released one of them during their days in Awkuzu SARS, and held onto these six?

 How is it that the only people arrested where sons of widows, single mother and orphans? A coincidence or what?

 Are the six accused not entitled to fair hearing?

Personally, I think this is purely a case of rascal intimidation. A rich man wants to intimidate people he thinks he can put away without anyone blinking an eye.

I therefore call on Human Rights lawyers, Activists, Amnesty International, Journalists and good people of the world to rise up and help these boys not just to regain their freedom, but get adequate compensation for this illegal imprisonment.

Take action. Share and Make it go viral.

SOUTH EAST; NOT A TRUE DEFINITION OF ALA IGBO

When you say Igbo people are only in South East, know it that you are wrong. Ndi Igbo transcends South East into the North and South South. Stop making the mistake of using the regions created by Nigeria-British government to map a people.

Yoruba too are not only in South West. There are Yoruba people in the North. Both in Kogi and Kwara State.

Even Ijaw people are not only in South South. There are Ijaw in South West.

Igala people are not only in the North. There are Igala people in South East. Nigeria government guided by Britain established these confusions, for chaos and easy external governance.

When people wants to describe Ala Igbo and they go to draw a dot at the area they call South East in Nigeria map, I laugh. Ala Igbo is far beyond the dot you call South East.

Ala Igbo moves deep into South South, and a little into the North. I mean Indigenous Igbo people.
Nigeria as a country has done a lot of damages to the people trapped inside Nigeria.

This is why I keep saying it that Niger Delta is not an Identity. Those fighting for Niger Delta have not told us if they intend to divide Ala Igbo into two and sack those without oil.

The creation of South East is to make you think Ndị Igbo are small. Landlocked and not worthy to be a nation.

These are institutional lies implanted after the war to dissuade you from thinking of secession ever again.

Just as Nigeria uses One Nigeria policies to cripple you, they also created South East to divide and keep you in check. Make you think that you are like a size of a dot in Nigeria.

Nigeria Government Instigating Identity Crisis Among Biafrans

Nigeria Government Instigating Identity Crisis Among Biafrans

By Elochukwu Nicholas Ohagi
For Family Writers Press International.

Let me tell you something. Many people don't actually know exactly what Nigeria did to us during and after the war. I have a document where a missionary narrated his experience in Calabar. How the Nigeria Federal Government invaded Calabar and massacred people.

He would have been a victim, if not for a Middle belt commander of the Nigeria military who is a Catholic. It was so terrible. Today, the atrocities of these Nigeria forces is blamed on the Igbos. Some even said Ndị Igbo carried it out themselves. Imagine Ndị Igbo using the limited weapons to fight their own people? By the way, is Igbo the only soldiers in Biafra?

Like I said, many things happened, forcing people to deny their identity.

Older Onitsha men and women till this very day still don't regard themselves as Igbo. They detest Igbo and always call you 'nwa Onye Igbo'(son of an Igbo man/woman). They push you out with this sad look that spits racism. 'Bịa nwa onye Igboa' always said in a derogatory manner. Those that lived in Onitsha after the war can bear witness to this.
Imagine if Onitsha were to be included in today's South South like the military government of IBB wanted to do. We will have many 'detribalized intellectuals' from there writing how they don't have any Igbo ancestry. Their non inclusion in South South tamed the futuristic madness that would have enveloped them.

So you can imagine what is going on in the mind of an average Asaba man or Anioma in general. I mean those of them with acute identity crisis. One told my brother he is not Igbo. And he said that using Igbo Language. The war and the policies Nigeria embarked on after the war was just to destroy Igbo people through divide and rule. They used lots of prominent Ndị Igbo from Anioma, Ikwere, Etche etc to perfect this. That is why today, a brother to Kaduna Nzeogwu will shamelessly come out to say he is not Igbo.

The creation of South South is a blunder, and the name Niger Delta is a slave name. I still don't understand how someone located in Imo state should be answering South East, while someone in the extreme East in Calabar will be answering South South. How can Rivers and Akwaibom be answering South South, while Imo and Abia lying next to them are called South East. These things are completely abnormal. But it is good for the agents of division, who for more than 50yrs profited in the division of Eastern people.

When people say 'Niger Delta people', I laugh and want to roll on the floor. What is Niger Delta People? Who are these people? People who live in the bank of the river or those that have oil? Is it the Efik or the Ijaw? The Edo or the Igbo? Is it in places we have people with oil deposit? Will Sokoto join  if crude oil is discovered in the state? Do oil contribute to the identity of a people?

The issue is that people like Elechi Amadi who was contracted to deceive his people and sow the seeds of identity crisis among youths never got time to confess their dealings with the Nigeria Federal government, who took it upon themselves to dismember and destroy the Igbo heritage. Reading through the novel 'Concubine' will tell you that there is no difference between Elechi Amadi and an average Egbema man.

It pains me to see Igbo man deny his identity, but I have resolved that I will always work on my emotions when I encounter one. If Onitsha of all people can fall a victim of this identity crisis, who wouldn't?

When I see Igbo people who detest their brothers because of the state Nigeria carved them into, I pity them. Nigeria has done worse than any deadlier terrorists group out there can ever boast of. Nothing destroys a people more than stealing their identity from them. This is exactly what Nigeria did by removing history from our educational curriculum. Today, people in their 30s and 40s have lived based on lies the Nigeria government planted in them through their dubious media. The result is that we now have a people who embrace their killers and rapists that defiled their mothers during the genocidal war of 1967/70. Before the Biafra genocide, there was a pogrom that took the lives of more than 30,000 Easterners. Why didn't their fathers tell them that it was the Igbo in the present South East  that killed their people in that pogrom? Or don't they know that Efik, Ijaw, Ikwere, Onitsha, and Anioma people were also massacred in that pogrom of 1966.

We that are aware of these lies have a lot of work to do. The educational system in Nigeria has destroyed lots of brains. Pushing these people away won't help, even though they appear very much ignorant and annoying.

That some of them claim they were forced to be Igbo is the very height of it. But we must continue and not relent.

That the five South East states can make a nation is very undoubtable, but that is not whom we are. We are a people even before they started dividing us.

We are all Biafrans; and that we shall remain.
