South-East and South-South groups rose from a meeting in
Enugu, Friday, vowing to throw their weight behind the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB in order to facilitate the
conduct of referendum for the actualization of Biafra.
The 26 groups expressed outrage over the reported massacre of
pro-Biafra agitators in Onitsha, Anambra State.
They agreed to enlarge their coalition by consulting widely on
the need or otherwise for the two regions to endorse the non-
violence agitation of IPOB for a referendum to decide the future
of Nigeria.


The meeting’s singular agenda was the support or otherwise of
IPOB in pursuit of a referendum.
The meeting was convened by 82 year old NCNC and Zikist
activist, Chief Mrs, Mariah Okwor, and Leader of the Igbo
Women Assembly.
Present at the meeting, were representatives of CAN, PFN,
Traditional Rulers, Igbo Traders Congress, Ohanaeze Youth
Forum, Igbo in Academia, South East Professionals, Niger Delta
Youth Forum, Old Eastern Region Movement, World Igbo
Congress, Igbo Survival Movement, South East Youth Congress,
amongst others.


The groups were angered at the silence of the South East
Governors over what they called “the cold blooded massacre of
81 Easterners on Monday around Onitsha and environs during
the 49thAnniversary of the Annual May 30thBiafra Day
Ceremony.”
Bishop Micheal Ibeneme of the Lords Salvation Gospel Ministry,
who chaired the meeting, lamented the deliberate attempt by
the Army to blackmail the youths, by claiming that the youths
turned violent.



“It is fabricated lies, the youths were deliberately murdered by
the soldiers simply because someone in Abuja does not want to
hear the name Biafra. Everybody knows those boys were not
armed.
“If a panel of enquiry is not immediately set up to bring to book
those murderous soldiers, then the govt will be pushing all of us
to join IPOB immediately. This mindless killing is unacceptable”.
Speaker after speaker condemned in no uncertain terms what
they termed “the attempt to silence the truth by taking away
more than half of the corpses by the military.”


The groups agreed to consult more widely and enlarge the
coalition in other to take a definite decision on whether to
publicly canvass support for IPOB in the light of the brutal
suppression by the military.
The groups agreed to meet on the 27thof June in Umuahia to
take a final decision.
Convener of the meeting Chief (Mrs.) Mariah Okwor, almost in
tears bemoaned the cold blooded slaughter of unarmed youths,
whose only crime is their desire for freedom from a repressive
and mindlessly oppressive State.
She warned that the Onitsha massacre will not be swept under
the carpet.



“This brutal genocide has clearly redefined the Nigeria reality. It
is extremely difficult for any sane person to continue to support
or even feel safe in any state where cold blooded murder by the
state has become an everyday occurrence”.
She continued that, “The 81 young souls massacred on Monday
has changed the dynamics, everybody now sympathizes with the
boys, and we will meet on 26thJune in Umuahia to announce
our total support for an early referendum on the fate of this
country called Nigeria.



“We are totally shocked at the ruthlessness and wickedness of
killing our children in cold blood. Our governors by their silence
are only trying to isolate themselves from the people. Soon the
people will mass up on one side and Buhari, the soldiers and
the governors on another side. They will soon fire out that they
are Leaders without followers.Everybody is mourning. The
killings are unacceptable”.



Meanwhile, in another development, the founder of Igbo Youth
Movement and deputy Secretary of Igbo Leaders of Thought,
Evangelist Elliot Uko, has appealed to all aggrieved youth of
Eastern region to remain non-violent in their agitation for justice
and equity, assuring them that the masses are with them.
Uko, who was addressing Student Union Leaders from 44
tertiary institutions from the South East, said the injustice in
Nigeria can never be solved by killing unarmed youth and then
turn round to falsely accuse them of attacking military man.
He said, “We all know IPOB are not armed, and we plead with
them not to succumb to pressure and temptation to take up
arms. The people are with them, that is the most important
thing. I can tell you that over 95% of our people are sympathetic
to the IPOB and their sacrifices.



“These mindless killings, have elicited so much sympathy
towards their course. The decision to kill them was a terrible
mistake. Now everybody is identifying with their course, even
those who didn’t support them in the past now sympathize with
them.
“So, the decision to kill them in order to scare them off and
frighten them into backing off from their struggle has clearly
backfired. The Aba massacre of February 9 and the Onitsha
massacre of May 3o have won millions of converts for IPOB;
the killing was a terrible mistake”.


“Uko said the funeral for the 81 persons killed in Onitsha should
be peaceful and every effort must be made, not to fall into the
trap of getting violent. Resort to violence will make IPOB loose
the huge sympathy it is enjoying today. They must remain non-
violent.”


He added that “the whole country is paralysed with fear and
apprehension over uncanny developments in the land. While the
military were busy mowing down unarmed youth in the east on
Monday, Islamic warriors were busy same day lynching innocent
easterner in niger state over allegations of blasphemy. Yet
another igbo woman was also lynched in kano market Thursday
evening. We are now in a state of fear and foreboding.”

Sometimes,it's okay to just laugh.

This country has never been one, and it will never be if scenarios like this, especially from the Northern side of the country keep replaying itself.

OK, while the NA was busy killing protesting IPOB youths in SE and SS, some religious fanatics were having a field day killing Christians in Niger state and Kano, yet no arrests were made.

Northerners are licensed to kill abi?

The double standards and injustice in naija will definitely tear her apart sooner than later.

which Niger delta youth? Lolz

To be honest, I applaud IPOB refusing to allow the military push them to the wall. Tbh i hated the new directir, I repeatedly insulted him and called him weak and shouldn't be leading. But truth be td, after what I learned recently and reading this topic, I think he was the right choice. If it was Nnamdi Kanu still directing, he would long directed the men to start defending themselves with whatever weapon they can find (remember the police vs. Aba boys last year). Shit, if it was me, i would have lomg ordered the people to pick up weapon and shoot back. It takes a mellow head to understand the chess game. I applaud the new guy, he's bringing more awareness.

Nnamdi opened the eyes and door.
The new guy is finishing it.

Cant wait to leave Nigeria

Yoruba...as expected. Worried about IPOB 24/7 even at midnight.

Well said. I'm also sure the Head of Directorate of State of IPOB...that's the Embassy of Biiafra in Victoria, Spain, Mazi Uche Asiegbu would had wanted a strong response in self defense. He tend to reason more like Nnamdi Kanu....force, force, force.Lol! However I believe Mazi Uche Mefor who is more methodical in his approach has done well with the non violence approach. You hAVe to understand that The Nigerian government is intentionally killing IPOB as ploy to make them pick up arms to defend themselves, as soon as they do that, they will brand them as terrorist organization....and that will destroy the movement as all countries that had recognized them...over 90 countries, will ban them from assembling or meeting. So kudos to them for taking the heat and staying focus. I think Niger Delta and IPOB have delegated their duties for this struggle, With IPOB handling the peaceful non violence part of it and NDA handling the violence part of it works great.

When i dey suggest about referendum long time ago people dey say me mouth dey smell. Na the best and only way.

They just need to sell this idea to other people of the world and see how them go back them up

Good. count me in any day. and if any of the organizers are viewing this thread, they should know I am willing to volunteer myself for this task.


As for those yeye tongue licking imbeciles who called themselves south eastern governors and senators, they must hear am. A day of reckoning must come. They should just pack their bags because they will be joining their masters forever. useless bunch of baffoons.

Aka mbinye.

Im from South south, i support the referendum, the marginalization is too much.

Like joke like joke this thing is getting more serious.

Buhari had the opportunity of nipping this issue from the bud, but he refused to.

Many people never considered Nnamdi kanu as a serious fellow but his continued detention by the federal government, attracted sentiments to his side.

Buhari, release Nnamdi kanu for the sake of peace in Nigeria.

Buhari knew he made mistake by arresting Nnamdi Kanu. It is shame that is making him not to release the young man. See, I keep saying it: the time has come, no Jupiter can stop it. So if buhari likes he should continue d detention but one thing is sure. the moment Nnamdi KANU is set free, that is d moment that Biafra as an independent nation will kick off. Trust me on that.

Anyway, I thank d almighty CHUKWU OKIKE ABIAMA that am going to be a partaker of this great freedom.

As an Igbo man, I am tired of being with the Yoruba and Hausa man in one country. These two groups have been a pain in the a$$ for just too long. If I could, I would grab the minorities who comfortable with being with us Igbos and get out of Nigeria this very day. The Nigerian project has been an expensive waste of time.

This article is on Biafra and the EVENTS THAT WILL
PRECEDE its emergence as a free and sovereign
nation.
Six noteworthy events will occur and I'll attempt
however as much as could reasonably be expected,
to paint everything precisely as it will happen.
In the first place is the imprisoning of Nnamdi
Kanu. This occasion will bring to affirmation the
fact that Biafra will come to be. There will be
celebration and awesome yells of euphoria in the
camp of the adversaries. But since they are visually
impaired and can't see the handwriting on the wall,
they will go hard and fast to smother and crush
every little thing about him and what he remains for
however this won't work. This infers the stupidity of
the Biblical "devil" who out of foolishness, killed the
Lord of Glory and thus help achieve the rebuilding
of man.
Next after Nnamdi Kanu is imprisoned, there will be
anarchy and upheaval. This is not those general
distress you read about on daily papers or on web.
The considerable bedlam will immerse everywhere,
and shockingly will bring about unbelievable
decimation. All around will actually get to resemble
a war torn territory and will be plagued with rats
and insects. I am not a prophet of fate, but rather
on the grounds that I owe you the truth, I'll say it
precisely as it seems to be.
After this episode, all the gatherings clamoring for
an autonomous state of Biafra will "cease to exist"
for there will be incredible palpitations and
trepidation. Kindly notice that the expression CEASE
TO EXIST has been utilized allegorically.
It is at this phase freedom will come. But first,
there will be a great division. Two groups will rise.
One of them which will be agreeable to Biafra is the
before now "dead group". It is at this phase Buhari
will be HUSTLED out of office, and Nnamdi Kanu
will be discharged.
There will be incredible celebration as a result of
his release. He would unsurprisingly rise to become
the president of the new country afterwards.
After this entire dramatization has played out, there
will be an incredible reconstructing and rebuilding
and correcting. The sun/star will become visible
and paradise will come down to rest in Biafra Land.
These occasions will happen precisely as they have
been portrayed above. You can go and record it
somewhere.
The onus is currently on you to implore God to turn
away the considerable debasement that will happen.
Pass this message to as many persons as you can.
God favor Biafra.


Biafra will come if they release Nnamdi Kanu

Just for the records, the so called South South sold the East out during the civil war, took over all the properties of the ibos left behind blocked their borders and even much more. Even the North gave back to the ibos.So marriage between the 2 is just another disaster bound to happen. Be warned. Now Everyone to the round table please. Let's talk
