Prevent War In Nigeria

 I was a child of 5 or so when Muhammadu Buhari first held sway as the Head of State. As young as I was, I knew that things weren't normal. I knew my first bite of hunger during the Buhari Military Admin. Then, I heard adults saying 'austerity measure' again and again. I knew there was some kind of connection between the hunger that I was experiencing, the austerity measure of a thing, and someone called Buhari. But then, that's about the only thing I could understand. I really came to understand a bit of who's the real Buhari in this his second coming. I tell you, I never really believed in the existence of the Devil until this so-called Buhari 'Civilian' Government came on board. I could never have been able to imagine such a level of cruelty. Why is this man so bereft of every humanity? From the very first day of this administration, it was clear he was consciously out to create serious problems that border on war. The way Buhari has consistently supporte...

Good evening every one of you.  As the Biafran Remembrance Day beckons, we can see muscles flexing and waxing. They are waxing to shed innocent blood in parts of South-East tomorrow. Yes, we know this from past events. So, we can no longer be fooled. We have pleaded with the feuding parties and it seems that the pleas are falling on deaf ears. Now, here is an open warning as a last resort. If any innocent blood is shed in any part of the South-East tomorrow or thereafter due to the action or inaction of any one of you flexing muscles, the punishment stated below will be meted out to you. Here below also, is stated why the four of you are being pointed out here as well as what you MUST do and why. Let's get a bit more concrete and personal by starting this warning with a real-life story - one that is both familiar and immediate. It's a story about the dead COAS. In case you do not know, let me tell you what happened to the COAS. It's related to the Biafran Remembrance Day Ce...

  Let the world know this: The Federal Government of Nigeria is currently killing thousands of innocent people DAILY in the SOUTH-EAST of the country in the name of going after ESN. The President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari purposely used his killer kins to provoke Southern populations towards taking up arms so that he could use the opportunity to infiltrate the region with his terror groups. What I can't understand is why the world is watching this happen.  I have strong reasons to believe that most of the killings of Government security agents in the South-East is being fomented by some agents of the Federal Government. The aim is to create a semblance of anarchy in the region and use it as an alibi for a clamp-down. Why do I think so? The manner of many of the attacks can only come from a group backed by very solid official sponsorship. Take today's Ihiala attacks, for example. The attackers comfortably drove in an SUV from God-knows-where. How come they weren't stopped ...

 I'm using this as an opportunity to ask you guys to pray against the thing that's about to happen to South-East. I'm also using it to appeal to IPOB/ESN and ask them to soft-pedal because there's no need to destroy those you claim to love if you can avoid doing so . We know that you guys are rightly provoked. But, it's only a fool who would angrily break his own limbs like the grasshopper. Don't help your enemies to destroy you.  Nnamdi Kanu has declared a curfew from Sunday evening to " honor the dead " as he said. I hope he doesn't end up honoring the death of his people by bringing more death to his people in far larger numbers. That wouldn't be good business at all. An Igbo shouldn't be that bad in business.  Even if Kanu has the fire power, he should save it for necessary situations like the incursion of criminal herders instead of wasting it on an open confrontation with the FG that may end up getting the entire world to finally pros...

 Today's meeting by the Southern Governors Forum is commendable. It addressed all the concerns we raised but they were at pains to not offend Aso Rock. So, their resolutions ended up being largely sugar-coated, hiding much of the rawness of our demands.  This can be understood. However, it remains ever true that a thorough commitment to addressing the yearnings of the people remains far more sacrosanct than any commitment to not offend the president and his kins. Whatever be the case, what matters above all else is a commitment to implementing those resolutions. As a result, we are on the watch-out to see if any cattle rearer or the Federal Government would defy the governors as it has been happening.  We cannot allow ourselves to be fooled any more. Thus, one question we are asking the Southern governors is, "in case the herders and/or the Federal Government defy them and the people, what are we going to do?" This is because something has to be done and it has to be...

Fellow Nigerians, I have to be honest with you: I'm on the verge of giving up on this country. But when I remember that real human lives are at stake here, I cannot but continue pushing. My experience at the House of Assembly complex in Nkaliki, Abakaliki today has really filled me with a lot of despair. I got there around 9 a.m. only to discover that the gate was locked and everywhere was deserted. So, I decided to ask around why it was so. Someone directed me to read the notice placed at the gate. It was then I discovered that the entire legislative arm of this country has been on strike for about 6 weeks and nobody is talking about it. The notice at the gate dated March 21 2021 stated that all the staff members of the National Assembly, the Legislative Service Commission, and the houses of assembly of the 36 states of Nigeria were to continue with their strike - and yet, no one has been talking about it!  Tell me how a country that calls itself a democracy has remained without t...

  I am writing this letter to the world through you. I will email it to you and also make it public. I am making it public for accountability's sake - that there may be public witnesses that I told you this and as to whether you lived up to your responsibilities of the moment or not.  I am using this means to inform you about a bitter war already breaking out in Nigeria and the drastic step I am taking concerning it, and why you need to intervene in the situation as soon as now. I am putting you on notice as the Planet's largest intergovernmental organization and one that exists on the premise of international peace and security.  I am informing you because I still trust that you are a responsible organization although I have had reasons on several occasions to withdraw that trust - I just hope that you still deserve this trust. I am informing you to alert you to your responsibility before it becomes too late to respond. I tell you, it is already getting too late.  W...
