Mazi Nnamdi Kanu; The Hero From The East By Elochukwu Ohagi

The Man That Shunned The Table Of The Oppressors 

Here is the man that against all odds refused to be inducted into the hall of fame of the heartless oppressors of the people. 

Even when he had the opportunity to become one of them, the betrayers of their own people, he said an emphatic no to them.

A sacrifice that nearly cost him his life.

Because he refused to sell out and join them when he was in prison like others before him did, they planned to take his life. They gathered in Enugu and decided to bring in Nigeria Military to come and kill him.

On that faithful evening of 14th September 2017, the Pandora Box was opened, battalions of soldiers circled his house. Dancing pythons they called themselves. It didn't take time they opened fire on his house, targeting his bedroom. Bullets rained like rain onto the house. It didn't end without the death of 29 persons, including his cousin sister.

It was a planned assassination. And the leaders of the East knows about it.

This man has been insulted, mocked and ridiculed. Men and women have been recruited to attack him online, and yet he wasn't deterred. Almost all the Media houses and online in Nigeria were unleashed on him, with them telling heavy lies against him, yet he remained strong and for the people.

They started buying off his most trusted allies to sabotage and work against him, yet he remained undefeated.

He vowed to liberate not only his people, but also the oppressed people of Nigeria.

Those that once insulted him are today saying they misunderstood him. In deed he was badly misunderstood. Lots of lies were sold against him. Lies his purity of heart all neutralized.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has refused to join the table of looters and murderers. He endured the battle brought to him by the evil Eastern Leaders. And he is winning them.

Everything he said has come to past except that he said he will restore Biafra. When they mocked him that he ran away, he told them that he will come back and when he comes back, he will bring hell with him. Those with the inner eyes are already seeing that hell.

My dear friends. Our oppressors have been defeated. Biafra is already with us. Real celebrities are already acknowledging him as a hero, so tell us; you that is abusing him, who are you?

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will reign forever. History will forever remember him. For as far as men still walk the sands of the East, he will be forever remembered. He will be the one that restored the dignity of Easterners, after Nigeria destroyed the leadership structure of the Children of the Most High Chukwu Okike Abiama.

I am Elochukwu Ohagi, I saw this Hero and believed in him.

How Britain Uses The Fulani To Manipulate The East By Elochukwu Ohagi

EASTERNERS ARE UNDER MANIPULATION 

At times we might not understand it if we don't think deeply and ask some crucial questions.

We are being manipulated. I mean we in the East. We are all being manipulated. Are you Igbo, Ijaw, Efik, Ibibio, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ogoni or whatever you call yourself, know it that you have been under manipulation for the past 51 years. You are not from South East, South South or Niger Delta. You are from the East. You are only being manipulated to think otherwise.

The Manipulation

Whatever is happening today is Britain using the Fulani to manipulate you. Far it be from me that I am blaming others for our woes, but the truth is that if you don't know of this manipulation, you cannot gain freedom.

This manipulation started during the genocide they called the Nigeria Biafra civil war.

The East has been under manipulation till this very day. No doubt, the East has been great in themselves. Whatever they touch turns to gold. In conquering the black man Britain found a stumbling block from the East. From the time of slave trade to the colonization era, the East never gave Britain a breathing space. Britain knows that for them to hold the East down they have to find a way to manipulate them.

Opportunity came with the war. Don't forget that the war of 1967 wouldn't have taken place if not for Britain. Britain wanted the war. The war is so much needed for the manipulation to work. They are so much in need of the resources in the East.

When Yakubu Gowon and Odumegwu Ojukwu met at Aburi Ghana and agreed to set aside every hostilities and become a confederate state, it didn't go down well with Britain who desperately needed the war.

Using British Broadcasting Cooperation (BBC) Britain mounted a campaign against the Aburi agreement, stating that at last Gowon has bowed down to Ojukwu. The implication of this statement is that Northern Nigeria has bowed down to Biafra. For Gowon represented Nigeria while Ojukwu stands for Biafra. This hurted the ego of the North (Nigeria) and infuriated them. The North in a meeting refused to adhere to the agreement. Rather they instructed Yakubu Gowon to divide Nigeria into 12 states. On 27 May 1967, Gowon proclaimed the division of Nigeria into twelve states. This decree carved the Eastern Region in three parts: South Eastern State, Rivers State, and East Central State.  It was Gowon on the stage, but Britain in the background. With this division Gowon destroyed the regional government. 

To this effect, the Eastern Consultative Assembly made up of elders from every part of the East voted for the East to secede from Nigeria. They demanded that  Odumegwu Ojukwu declare Biafra a Republic. In obedience to the wishes of the people, on 30 May 1967, Ojukwu declared independence of the Republic of Biafra. As expected, Biafra came under attack by Nigeria Army. The war began on the early hours of 6 July 1967 when Nigerian Federal troops advanced in two columns into Biafra. With this Britain staged the decimation of the Igbo and their other cousins. It is worthy to note that the East prior to the war has been in charge of lots of offices in Nigeria. This was made possible due to their early embrace of education.

With the help of Britain and other world powers, Nigeria inflicted heavy causality on Biafra. Millions of Biafrans mostly women and children died. It was estimated that about 3.5million Biafrans died in that senseless war of Nigeria unity.

The war ended in 1970 with the Biafrans led by Philip Effiong surrendering to Nigeria. After the physical war, another unseen war started. And that is the manipulation of the Eastern people.

During the the war, Nigeria government perfected a successful plan that divided the East. Nigeria military started attacking the coastal Regions wearing Biafran Army Uniform and speaking Igbo during those attacks. Lots of Coastal Biafrans that survived the attack heard the attackers speak Igbo and till this very day, they still tell stories on how Igbo people wanted to wipe them out during the war. This is a high profile manipulation.

No one asked how a people suffering extermination will have time to wipe off their own brothers. No one asked if there has ever been any attempt previously by the Igbo to attack or expel their neighbours from their lands. No one asked how possible it will be for a people that lack weapons to waste it on their fellow brothers. No one cared to think deep and ask how Philip Effiong will be a second in command and his people will be wiped out by the same Army he commands. And to cap it all, he didn't speak about it. Are coastal brothers not in the Biafra Army? These are the necessary questions that will neutralize these lies that have been told over the last 51 years.

The seed of discord sown by the Nigeria government during the Civil War made it possible for the East to be fragmented. The Igbo became the worse enemies of most Ijaw, Efik, Ogoni etc. They see the Igbo as rivals. Some of them out of deep ignorance have proclaimed how it is better to live with the Fulani than the Igbo. With this mentality, the Fulani won. They took advantage, owned the oil, controls it and left the people with nothing, other than polluted environment, not good for agriculture.

The Fulani also divided the Igbo into many parts. They included Igbo people into the North and South South. They manipulated people into thinking that Igbo people are only in South East, while the Igbo people that fell into other regions started denying being Igbo. The Fulani frustrated anyone bold enough to answer Igbo after the war, which necessitated the denial. Asaba, Ikwere, Onitsha, Etche, Ogwashiukwu, Ika man will tell you how he is not Igbo. Those singing this shameful songs of denial will always be favored by the Fulani.

Betrayal Become A Lucrative Business In The East.

Those that led Biafra during the time of the war was the most trusted men the Easterners respects so much. They are men of integrity and patriots who will rather die than betray their own people. Men like Chinua Achebe, Akanu Ibiam, Odumegwu Ojukwu etc.

Nigeria government removed these men from office and started employing men that are ready to betray their own people.

Gradually, it became an act of foolishness and stupidity to stand for the people in the East. If you are not a puppet of the Fulani, you will not be appointed into any office in Nigeria. They encouraged these men to openly stand against their own people. They made them rich, influential and powerful that ordinary people started worshiping them. Remember the Igbo saying that says 'onye bu igu ka Ewu n'eso?' This is how almost everyone in the corridors of power in the East started becoming sycophants and hypocrites in other to make it. This is exactly how we got the leaders we have today. Leaders who will bring Pythons to kill their own youths. Leaders who will refuse to constitute security group for their own people, just to please the Fulani. Men who is so afraid of the Fulani to the extent that they will support the massacre of their own youths for protesting in a country Fulani herdsmen terrorists are pampered and Boko Haram terrorists recruited into the Army.

These manipulations made the Igbo, Ijaw Efik etc to loose focus. All the leaders in the East needed is to be loyal to the Fulani and they can loot and squander our collective resources the way they want. If you complain about the lack of federal government presence in the East, Northerners will remind you of your governors and how they are squandering the resources. It is just manipulation. They use them and yet blame them for your woes.

Since after the war, never a time have the East worked together to develop the East. There is zero plan by the Eastern leaders of today to liaise with each others to develop the entire East. It is just squandering and obedience to the Fulani as to escape persecution and prosecution. The Fulani only goes after anyone against them and standing for the people. The Fulani have the power to remove an elected Governor and replace him with their puppet. This is exactly why Emeka Ihedioha is not governor today.

This manipulation has effected every aspect of our lives in the East. Today, police men will love to be posted to the East because they make more illegal monies in the East than any other part of Nigeria. They know that the East is a police state. They are the marginalised part and got no right. So once you are arrested or confronted, you pay them and go with your goods. This has made life difficult in the East.

An Igbo in government will do everything possible to safeguard his position through loyalty to the Fulani. He will rather employ unqualified HausaFulani into the government, than employ his qualified Eastern brothers. Those that are ignorant of the manipulation going on will never understand. They will rather say WE DON'T LOVE OURSELVES. You are just under manipulation.

Any Eastern Leader speaking against the marginalisation of the East in Nigeria will be witch haunted. Almost all the federal roads in the East are bad, yet no governor will ever complain. Parts of the East are polluted due to oil spillage, yet non of them is speaking for their own people. Some that fights for the people will be given contracts to shut them up.

If you speak up, a case will be opened for you in the court and you will surely be disgraced out of office.

You are from the East in Nigeria, you are not free. You are manipulated to hate yourselves and work against each other. It is only when you realise this, that you can work towards your freedom.

If you ask me, I will say that only the restoration of Biafra will break the stronghold of the Fulani on our people.

is The Church The Reason Africa Is Poor?

Africa is not poor because they are building churches.

Africa is not poor because they are buying anointing oil and holy water.

Africa can't produce toothpaste not because they are praying and paying tithes.

Europe and America built massive churches.

They pay tithes and pray too. I know some of them must have prayed for jobs too. 

Africa is impoverished because of bad corrupt leaders in charge of affairs in Africa. Most of these corrupt leaders are allies and puppets of the West. Their loots are covered by them, provided they are allowed to steal your natural resources.

The person telling you about building churches, will not tell you that her government steals billions in natural resources from Africa.

France alone is still holding their colonies hostage till this very day. They are the reason France is flourishing. Francophone countries are impoverishing themselves to grow France.

What of Britain? They are the reason we are where we are. They are on daily basis stealing Nigeria dry and manipulating us all.

That lady will never tell you this.

But because you are always erratic, you will always swing anyhow. You love it when every blame goes to the church. They are building companies, while we in Africa are building churches and praying for jobs so she said. We don't think. They play and fool us cheaply.

They will not even attack Mosque. It is the church that is built by collective wills of individuals they will Attack. Why are they not attacking the useless government in Africa using state money to build mosque? They must be afraid.

Are magnificent churches not in Rome, England and America? Have those churches been closed down? Aren't they praying there? Why is she telling you about building churches in your own lands, but not telling you about the billions you are contributing and sending to Rome and England? She won't tell you because sending church money from Africa to England and Rome serves them well.

The problem is always the government in Africa, aided by the Westerners. Until we understand this, we are going nowhere.

Not everything that appeared true is true. Her tweet... that 'our research facilities produce Covid-19 vaccine and your church produce anointing oil' is a lame comparison. Are their research facilities an extention of their church in America and Europe? Is it not their own government that owns those research facilities? Why not her attack the Africa government who loots Africa dry, without building hospitals, not to talk of Research Facilities? Can't you see it already? That the comparison isn't true with our situation? Instead of attacking your government, they are attacking your minds. They want you to go after the wrong direction and some of you are already feasting. 

Why should I go to church for spiritual healing over something ordinary surgery can heal had it been my government provided me with good hospitals?

You are always quick to mock the church, even in things they are not supposed to be called out. To my own rating, the church has done better than your useless government, whom most of you are afraid to call out. I told someone that the church has built universities and he said it is not for the poor. Yes, I agree. But don't you also think it is the failure of your government. Should the government provide cheap education, those universities will either downplay or close down. It is as simple as that.

Before you twist it, I too have criticized the church for their silence and aiding of the government. But I won't because of it support nonsense. 

Listen....

I don't think I need Covid-19 vaccine down here. And I can't be blackmailed into accepting it.

You can mock all you want.

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?

(Chukwujekwu is the one circled in the pictures.)

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!
