Biafra: South-East shuts down

Jeff Amechi Agbodo, Onitsha

No fewer than 2, 000 members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB),  yesterday took to the streets and roads  of Onitsha, Anambra State, on peaceful march to sensitise the public on the sit-at-home order it declared on May 30, to honour fallen heroes of Biafra.

The group, comprising Lion Squad, a security outfit of the organisation and other members, held Biafran flags and chanted freedom and solidarity songs such as “IPOB purported proscription arrant nonsense; “Nigerian Federal Government has no power to brand IPOB terrorist group; “Biafrans, Igbo we must be proud of our own own and “IPOB and genuine Biafra agitating group cannot be intimidated out with Army and Police, among others.

They marched through Awka Road, Old Market Road, Main Market, Sokoto Road, Haruna Street, Williams street to Creek Road and Zik Avenue, Port Harcourt Road, all in Fegge, to Upper Iweka and terminated at Owerri Road, insisting that the people should remain indoors on Wednesday (today) or stand to be blamed in case of any eventuality.

The group distributed handbills and flyers with the inscription: “May 30, 2018 is Biafra Day, celebrating 51 Biafra anniversary, we remember the fallen heroes of 1967-70, including victims of Asaba massacre, all slain freedom fighters of Biafra IPOB, MASSOB and all victims of Fulani herdsmen and all other state sponsored killings in Nigeria.”

Some  flyers and handbills they distributed bore pictures of fallen heroes such former Biafra leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Col. Joe Achuzia, Major-General Philip Effiong and Timothy Onwuatuegwu, among others, as well as corpses of those who died during some of their rallies and protests.

Though, they did not stop anywhere to talk to anybody, one of them who did not mention his name was shouting, no market, no movement, no school, no business, no church, no vehicle on Wednesday, as directed by its leadership as an annual ritual to honour those who fought and died for Biafra and those who died in the struggle.”

    There’s no sit-at-home, there’s no peaceful action. It is the Sword in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary warfare of the natives under the natives Disintegrated Republics which starts May 30. 2018 to finish in Sokoto. Any group without the Sword should not come out, any group without militia nature, shouldn’t come out. Strike point number one are the enemy’s brainwashed terrorism mercenaries nickname military, police etc., strike them from every corner with every. weapon, slaughter them from every. corner with every weapon, slaughter. them in their homes in the. neighborhood, in their barracks etc., burn down their barracks etc., take. everything in their possession- arms. etc. More than 99% members of the enemy’s brainwashed terrorism mercenaries nickname military, police etc. are this territory natives and in their hearts wants liberation from fulani Political Control via fulani fraudulent criminal sultanate political government with its emirates under the dead fraudulent political name Nigeria- strike them to runaway and disperse from the enemy, they know nothing about Revolutionary warfare this territory natives has in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary warfare, they only know conventional warfare and they are very weak and inexperienced in the conventional warfare- God has put them in the hands of this territory natives to crush. No other government should exist in Enugu the capital Biafra Republic of south east from May 30. 2018. Only Biafran government should exist in Enugu from May 30. 2018 to finish in Sokoto under Disintegrated Republics of the natives- Biafra Republic of south east, Niger Delta Republic of south south, Oduduwa Republics of south west, North East Republic, North West Republic, North Central Republic, with economic cooperation and assistance etc. which secures the natives existence and future in 21st century world- economy, education, employment, salary, pension, social securities, business, public infrastructures, amenities etc. God given Victory is the natives’. Only the Sword decides. God Is With Us!!!
