No going back on sit-at-home, IPOB insists

Geoffrey Anyanwu, Awka

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), yesterday said no amount of joint security meetings or intimidation would make it jettison the proposed sit-at-home planned for  Friday next week.

Reacting to a press statement by the Commissioner of Police, Anambra State, Garba Umar , IPOB said such joint security meeting was not needed in  Igboland, asking security agencies to channel their strategies to the North where there were security challenges.

The group, which insisted that it  could not be arm-twisted said: ‘‘our general strike is going ahead on September 14 as declared by IPOB high command and no Jupiter can stop it.”

Umar, had, in  a press briefing after a closed-door meeting of high powered security operatives that included the army, police, civil defence, immigration, Department of State Services (DSS), among others at the police headquarters  in Awka, said  that IPOB remained an illegal organisation, hence, their sit-at-home order would not be tolerated.

 “IPOB is an illegal organisation. We are therefore appealing to members of the public, that on no account should they be intimidated or harassed into succumbing to the threats of IPOB. The group plans to embark on sit-at-home on September 14, 2018, but, security agencies are ready for any eventuality.

“We  urge members of the public to go about their lawful businesses as they will be adequately protected. The issue of calling for a referendum on the 8th of this month or thereabout and the September 14 sit-at- home order by IPOB will not be tolerated.”he warned.

But, in a statement yesterday by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group said: “The report of a supposed joint security meeting in Awka, is  reaffirmation of the strategic naivety plaguing the country’s security apparatus, because these security meetings should be held in the terror ravaged North, where it would no doubt serve a more useful purpose.

“Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen were created by northerners, therefore, a northern police commissioner in Anambra State planning to unleash state terrorism on IPOB, is not only misplaced, but counterproductive. What we are witnessing with these supposed ‘security’ announcements is an attempt to intimidate and subdue the East into submission.

“We must remind security agencies in Nigeria, especially their henchman in Awka, that the attempt made by an Arewa army to conquer and occupy Biafraland many centuries ago failed woefully.

They never recorded one military success against our indigenous populations. If our fathers were not intimidated into submission then, this generation of IPOB will not be intimidated into submission now.

“The fact that Britain helped engineer a hollow victory over Biafra, by enforcing diplomatic, land and sea blockade against our army and people in the 1967-70 war, should not give the feudal north the impression that Igboland and the rest of Biafraland is their domain to treat as they please.”

    Ipob group leadership are cowards, ignorant fools which do not represent Igbos of south east of Biafra Republic in Disintegrated Republics of the natives. Majority Igbos of south east firm democratic decision is Biafra Republic of south east in Disintegrated Republics of the natives. Igbos existence securities and freedom in this 21st century world international order is only under Biafra Republic of south east in Disintegrated Republics of the natives. Biafra Republic of south east in Disintegrated Republics of the natives depends on the conquest of Sokoto which has begun. It is Revolutionary Militant Groups- RMG etc. formation which its members are the new military, police etc. under the natives Disintegrated Republics- Biafra Republic of south east, Niger Delta Republic of south south, Oduduwa Republic of south west, North East Republic, North West Republic, North Central Republic. The war front is Sokoto- the last bastion of fulani fraudulent criminal sultanate political government with its emirates and their brainwashed terrorism mercenaries nickname military, police etc. controlled by British bandits and fraudulent criminal America with their fraudulent criminal UN of 20th century world international order. Any individual or group which do not join the Revolution now under the natives Disintegrated Republics in this final conquest which is the conquest of Sokoto which has begun, do not belongs to Igbos of south east of Biafra Republic in Disintegrated Republics of the natives, do not represent Igbos of south east of Biafra Republic in Disintegrated Republics of the natives. If you sit-at-home, it means you have surrender to the enemy. It is the Sword, it is the conquest of Sokoto, the enemy has lost the war- March on the enemy to full conquest in Sokoto, Erase the enemy on every inch of this natives territory of Disintegrated Republics. God given Victory is the natives. Only the Sword decides. God Is With Us!!!

    Mallam Garba Umar seems to have forgotten that, his Fulani people are alien sojourners here in Nigeria.
    His Fulani cattle driver alien muslims are nomore Nigerians than the Afrikaans (Boers) are South Africans.
    On the contrary,we Biafrans (Igbos in particular ), are among the real Indigenous People of Nigeria.
    I am an Ibom Igbo. Some archeological evidences are there to prove that my Ibom ancestors settled in Ibom Town in Abia State,some 2200 years ago.
    Our IPOB Organization is an Igbo Organization and thererfore, cannot be an illegal Organization because we Igbos are not illegal aliens here in Nigeria, like Mallam Garba Umar and his lazy, lecherous and beggar foolks,the Troglodytes,so called Fulanis.
    However ,Mallam Garba Umar is hereby put on notice that, if in course of their proposed gobble-de-gook
    Python Dance 3 in Ala Igbo,a single Igbo man or woman is hurt or killed,we Biafrans shall be visiting the
    iniquities of the fathers against us Ndigbo,upon their children,relatives,clans tribes etc.
    Oh yes indeed! It’s gonna be an eye for a thousand eyes and a tooth for a thousand teeth jare.
    The above messages goes also to the Chief of Army Staff, Major General TY Buratai and to his boss in particular,President Buhari.
    No to the status quo ante bellum!
    Down with Hausa/Fulani Islamic Hegemony!!
    All Hail Biafra the Land of the Rising Sun!!!
