The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) has declared sit-at-home in Anambra State on November 18, 2017 in protest and boycott of the governorship election in the state.

The group said that election boycott was the only legitimate tool left in the hands of the oppressed people to register its displeasure with the alleged ongoing genocide in its land.

A statement by the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB Emma Powerful said that Biafrans in Anambra must not only stay at home on that day, but must also make sure those around them do not vote on November 18, because if they vote, Nigeria will never again take Biafra agitation serious.

The speech states: “We want to bring to the notice of IPOB members in Biafraland particularly those in Anambra State that November 18 gubernatorial election is the day of destiny for all lovers of freedom. Every genuine Biafran desiring of freedom for Biafra from this Islamic bondage of Hausa Fulani caliphate called Nigeria, must not only stay at home on that day, but must also make sure those around them do not vote. November 18, 2017 is a date with history”.

“If we Biafrans succeed in demonstrating before international observers that we are serious about our freedom by locking down Anambra State on that day, the world will be in no doubt that Biafra is unstoppable. Our destiny is firmly in our hands. We must teach corrupt Igbo politicians that money cannot buy IPOB because we are special breed untainted by the corrupt tendencies of Nigerian politics. Locking down Anambra State will pave the way for IPOB to announce a date for substantive referendum later next year with or without the approval of Nigeria”

“Events in Catalonia and Kurdistan havde pointed the way forward for we Biafrans because it was clearly demonstrated by both nations that we can call for and conduct our referendum with or without the cooperation of Nigeria. Election boycott is the only legitimate tool left in the hands of we oppressed people to register our displeasure with the ongoing genocide in our land, arbitrary arrests, torture and reign of saboteurs in government houses across Biafraland. If we vote, Nigeria will never again take Biafra agitation serious”.

    Actually Igbos have too much traitors in Anambra state.However even the deaf can hear the beating of the drum.The struggle has gone so wide that even the dumbs are giving good signs about it.The lames are nodding their heads enjoying the sounds.We are appealing to every conscience to be conscious of the struggle and disprove the people of what they think about Anambrarians by not coming out to vote at all.

    The struggle for Biafra started by an Indigen and a legend( may his soul rest in peace)from Anambra state, and 18th of November is the date set aside for the joy of the legend.Some western medias has predicted that Buhari may be the last president of Nigeria due to his tribal, Islamic, and uncompromising attitude to democratic standards and constitutional reformation as being agitated by Southern Nigerians and 18th of November, will prove that prediction.

    We Biafrans in diaspora are appealing to you Anambrarians kindly leave the voting to the families of the candidates and relax at your homes.Do not vote.Enjoy 18th of November by praying for Biafra,play your drafts,whots,Asigo etc. and watch and see what the lord has for us.

    Also Mr.Emma do not talk of taking of Arms at all because that is what the Nigerian govt want and why they are provoking us.Be civilise and wise.If you at all talk about Arms, the world will give us their back.So allow the Nigerian Military to continue disgracing themselves by lying to Nigerians and not to International countries.The world is watching with every interest and strength.

    This pro-Biafra group call ipob never learn from the past which led the group and their leadership to present catastrophic situation they are in which they cant give account of their leader kanu etc., and the group leadership still have mouth and face to keep making their empty noise of illiteracy and ignorance, after the insult and disgrace the group leadership brought on themselves to stain Igbos dignity, respect and values. The touts of the enemy who are Almajiris or product of Almajiri society- which is the worst human right violation on earth, by so doing do not have human psychological sense of human civil nature and practice, only know brutality etc., has clear evidence they are violent thugs, and ipob group leadership kept their coward attitude towards the enemy with their illiterate slogan nickname non-violence. What instrument will a sensible people use for defence chainst such violent touts by nature because of their violent backgrounds or origin as from society practising worst human right violation on earth- in which the touts are victim? The end of ipob group leadership non-violence illiterate slogan of ignorance is the fact that they with their leader kanu are now victim of war in the hands of the enemy’s touts. The only message the enemy ears hear is use of force, only use of force is applicable in defence to stop their mess, get rid of the mess in Biafran Territorial Sovereign State. On the other hand, ipob group with kanu do not want God given Republic Of Biafra of the five south east states, want Biafra of south east, south south, Benue etc., did not stand for Biafran interim government from October 1st 2017, did not stand for election in Anambra. Is that not insanity? No programme with feasibility- only making empty noise about. Biafra of the five south east states is now a Sovereign State with interim government.

    There is nothing call sit-at-home in November 18. 2017 in Anambra or in Biafran Territorial Sovereign State of the five south east states. Any who want to waste his or her time and resources for anything call election in Biafran Territorial Sovereign State, is free. After Biafran interim government structures are put in place very soon, all that took part in such election and in office vacates. The proposal is, all present political office holders remain in their respective positions on interim basis till election. This is life, this is 21st century world, you get result of whatever you decided- if you are clever in your decision, you get the result, if you are not clever, you get the result. When Lagos state was making noise to be Africa’s third largest economy by 2020, we made it it clear to them back in March 2017 that Lagos of present is built with illiterate policies that forced people to Lagos, end of that illiterate policies has come with Biafra. Lagos of today has got the message. The only legitimate authority in the five south east states, is Biafran Authority- all political office holders etc. are now in Biafran Territorial Sovereign State, any who do not take the message and work on the reality, will get the result very quickly, very soon. God Is With Us!!!

    Referendum has taken place as far as the five south east states are concerned by sit-at-home in which majority decided for God given Republic Of Biafra of the five south east states. If leadership of the pro-Biafra group call ipob do not want to be part of God given Republic Of Biafra of the five south east state, and the interim government, they are free to fix referendum date and conduct it in the said south south Benue etc. they want to be part of their Biafra, majority Igbos of south east have already democratically decided for Biafra- another referendum is not needed in south east. Catalonia, Kurdishstan have done the same, they did not need Spain, Iraq, UN, to fix a date for them or to conduct it for them. What the leadership of the pro-Biafra group call ipob are doing at present, is empty noise of illiteracy and ignorance of local and international politics, how it function, what are involved in depth, they do not even know the fact that Biafra is political issue. Biafra is now a Sovereign State with interim government. The enemy will vacate Biafran Territorial Sovereign State- dead or alive. The only message ears of the enemy hears is conflict, Biafra will feed the enemy with conflicts to the full till the last enemy vacates Biafran Territorial Sovereign State- dead or alive. God Is With Us!!!
