ONITSHA—Legal firework is expected to continue at the Federal High Court, Owerri, Imo State on  September 22, this year in the human rights suit filed by the  Bilie Human Rights Initiative  on behalf of the Supreme Council of Elders of the Indigenous People of Biafra, SCE-IPOB, against the Federal Government of Nigeria.

The suit which was filed on their behalf, by their legal counsel, A. C. Emeka of Mekadolf Law Chambers, Owerri, had earlier been scheduled for hearing on  June 16, but due to the  inability of the court to sit, the case was adjourned to  September 22  for hearing.
Before the  June 16  hearing date, the presiding judge of the court, Justice S. M. Shuaibu had awarded a N5,000 cost against the defendants for filing their statement of defence few months after the statutory required period.

The statement of defence and counter-affidavit were filed on behalf of the defendants, by their legal counsel, Prof. Yemi Akinseye George (SAN).
In the suit No FHC/OW/CS/192/2013, brought under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Cap 10, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, the Bilie Human Rights Initiative representing IPOB, the claimants who are indigenes of the South East geo-political zone of Nigeria, parts of South South geo-political and the Middle Belt zones had dragged the Federal Republic of Nigeria and its Attorney-General of the Federation to the court as first and second defendants, seeking to be given the right to self-determination.

According to the originating summons, the claimants are seeking a declaration of the court  to enforce their right to self-determination, pursuant to the relevant Articles on African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, adding that they are equally asking the court to order the defendants to redress all wrongs inflicted on them by the defendants in consequence whereof.

The claimants further prayed the court to determine whether the IPOB who are the remnants that were not consumed in the Nigeria-Biafra civil war of 1967 –1970 have the right of self-determination pursuant to Articles 19 –25 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

They also want the court to determine  whether the claimants who identified themselves as Biafrans by indigenous identity were committing any offence by doing so contrary to any provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 or contrary to any provision of the Criminal Code and whether it is a crime under any national or international law to mention the name of Biafra or for the remnants of IPOB who were not consumed by the war to maintain their indigenous identity as Biafrans with their native emblems and symbols as they do now, even though they are Nigerians by citizenship and nationality laws.

No boy, we are peaceful and loving. We just feel that staying together in Nigeria we won't be able to fulfill our God given mission, so we are trying to see if we can do that by ourselves.

Oh Lord grant the yeebos their earnest desires.

Hmm, I don't even know where all these things are heading to.

May God save us!

^^^^,

BIAFRA must come, BIAFRA we believe in!

When jonathan was the president (then I was staying in enugu), if u talk abt biafra an ordinary igbo man will say 'tufiakwa'. They never wanted it. Now bcs they think Buhari is nt giving them appointments the want to go nt forgetting the fact that during this same jonah, yorubas never got any juicy appointment and no one (nt even those ashawo afenifebi) complained. Besides, this same jonathan can nt help them rehabilitate enugu-onitsha expreSsway. It is now visible to the blind and audible to the deaf the kinda hatred igbos and hausas have for each other while yoruba sits on the fence. Last bomb, an igbo man can never be your friend when he is gaining nothing from u!

You know when people lie, lie wey get shock absorber.

My people have become too cowardly in this nigeria. ..they are now a laughing stock...they have shown the world that they are weaklings and O'yes to the Hausa / Fulani muslims. ..it is shame that my sophisticated and progressive people are a bunch of confused people who have no aspiration whatsoever. ..

It seems musiwa and I are the only brave people among our kins. ...musiwa want a western nigeria and I want a sophisticated and progressive Odu'a. ..but my coward folks want to keep being slaves to their Hausa / Fulani masters. ..
