The president of South East Elders Forum, Dr. Dozie Ikedife, has replied President Muhammadu Buhari for asking Igbos to forget Biafra. According to him, even if Igbos were killed in their numbers, Biafra remains and can never be forgotten. Ezeife said that President Buhari himself cannot forget Biafra. President Buhari during a working visit to Ebonyi State, during the week, had called on Igbos to forget Biafra and the “senseless call for secession.” Ikedife, who reacted while fielding questions from Sun, said it was a wrong choice of word to say, “we should forget Biafra, nobody can forget Biafra.” He added, “Biafra has come to be, never mind that they removed Bight of Biafra and called it Bight of Benin, there are people who are Biafrans and there is nothing you can do about it, even if you kill them and it remains only one, that person still remains Biafra. “Somebody had told me before that we should forget Biafra, and I told the person that it was not possible to forget Biafra. It is not possible to forget that you are an Odudua son; it is not possible to forget that you are an Ijaw man; it is not possible to forget that you a Fulani; it is not possible to forget that you are Junkun, etc. “It is a wrong choice of word to say, forget Biafra. Nobody can forget it. If you lost your father or son, mother or half of your family members during the Nigeria-Biafra war, can you forget that? “Even the person saying it cannot forget Biafra, talk less of those that are concerned, who are called Biafrans. “The person may say anything else, but Biafra is unforgettable. We can never forget Biafra; nobody should ever forget Biafra.”[url=http:www.igbogister.com.ng]igbogister[/url] Source=igbogister

Patience Jonathan, the Wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to vacate the interim forfeiture order it granted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on May 30, to freeze her 16 separate bank accounts containing aggregate sums of $5.8 million and N3.5 billion. Vanguard reports that Mrs Jonathan, through her team of lawyers led by Chief I.A. Adedipe, SAN, and Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, maintained that the court order had elapsed and could not be extended by the EFCC . She told the court that the anti-graft agency obtained the forfeiture order by an improper use of the judicial process. The 16 frozen bank accounts belong to 10 different organizations that were allegedly linked to Mrs. Jonathan. The companies which were also cited as co-applicants in the motion the ex-first lady filed to challenge the action of the EFCC are Incorporated Trustees of Ariwabai Aruera Reachout Foundation, Pagmat Oil and Gas Nigeria Limited, Flinchley Top Homes Limited, Incorporated Trustees of Women for Change and Development Initiative Nigeria, Transocean Property and Investment Limited, Seagate Property Development Investment Company, Globus Integrated Services and Pluto Property and Investment Company Limited.

In a six–paragraph affidavit deposed to by one Chinedu Maduba, Mrs. Jonathan and the firms admitted their ownership of the 16 bank accounts.read full news@www.igbogister.com.ng

Jonathan-1-300x212 Goodluck Jonathan, immediate past President, has reacted to disparaging statement against his government by former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Farida Waziri. Waziri had claimed that while in office, she arrested a suspect involved in oil subsidy scam and that immediately, she got a call from the Presidential villa, asking her to “release the suspect, because, in their words, ‘he is our person.” The former EFCC boss claimed that her refusal to release the suspect led to her removal from office few days later. However, Jonathan in his reaction, described Farida’s claim as “lies.” Jonathan challenged the former EFCC boss to disclose the identity of the person or company she was investigating then that led to her removal. In a tweet via his social media, the Bayelsa-born ex-President said failure to make public the identity of the person or company she was investigating indicates that “she was simply hired to attack me.” “If Farida is not telling lies, she should mention the person or company she was investigating and she was stopped, let the @officialEFCC investigate. “Crime has no statute bar. If she can’t, then she was simply hired to attack me,” Jonathan tweeted to see more visit igbogister Source www.igbogister.com.ng

The international media arm of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Radio Biafra, has resumed operations. But instead of the fiery rhetoric with which it was associated with, the radio announced the sack of Nnamdi Kanu, as director and leader of IPOB. The Radio Biafra’s programme started between 6am -7am on Sunday with the lady announcer, who gave her name as Ifeoma Okorafor, stating that the radio was restructuring. Then the shocking announcement that “Mazi Nnamdi Nwanekaenyi Kanu, the former Director of Radio Biafra is hereby dismissed and removed as Director of Radio Biafra following extensive and intensive consultations” According to Okorafor, one “Mazi Ezenwachukwu Sampson Okwudili is Kanu’s replacement.” She reeled out reasons why Kanu was removed to include: “Personalisation of the Biafran struggle and derailing from the core objectives of IPOB as a grassroots movement. “Kanu’s actions and his decisions to incite members of IPOB towards violence leading to the death of many innocent young people in Onitsha, Aba and Umuahia is totally unacceptable and grossly irresponsible.“Kanu privately collected £14 million and another $22 million to purchase landed properties abroad in his name and that of his father, Igwe Israel Kanu, in a clear case of ‘monkey dey work baboon dey chop’. “Kanu turned our collective struggle into a money-making enterprise for himself and his father. Thus the monies contributed by enterprising and hard-working Igbo youths across the world are being collected and converted by one man and his father while pretending to be sacrificing for the cause. “Upon his release from detention in April 2017, one expected Kanu to drum up support for the release of his colleagues and co-detainees such as Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi. These are our brothers who were arrested at the same time with him and they should not be forgotten. We hereby demand their release. Kanu, since his release, has never spoken about them or appealed for the release of these our freedom fighters. Instead, he has been going about collecting chieftaincy titles and having a messianic swagger that even allowed full-blooded Igbo men to kneel down and kiss his feet. “Kanu threw away the original meaning of our collective struggle for personal gain and vain glorification. IPOB believes in democracy as a solid base of any modern state, the rule of law, and will always reject violence in all its ramifications.” Daily Independent Newspaper reports that there was a mixture of excitement and confusion within Nigeria security circles as a result of this new development in IPOB as security agencies do not know what to make of this. The sack of Kanu is only the latest change in the checkered history of Radio Biafra, which began as the mouthpiece of MASSOB Source igbogister
