Shared: 10 LESSONS FROM THE ARREST AND PERFECTION OF BAIL CONDITION FOR 44 "KIDNAPPED" BIAFRANS IN BAYELSA IN RECORD TIME.

(1) Bayelsa state has just 8 Local Government Areas with Yenagoa as the capital city. That the state is the smallest in the country both in land mass and in population.

(2) That 44 Biafrans of the IPOB family were arrested on Saturday 22-10-2016 during one of their usual regularly held family meetings and detained.

(3) That the Magistrate handling the case actually confirmed that he didn't in his widest imagination ever envisage that the issue of Biafra can go so viral that just this very arrest of 22-10-2016 is now being discussed worldwide.

(4) That additional 44 Biafrans (working and business owning men only, excluding women) were required to stand as SURETIES to perfect the bail condition. (Yet some will claim that those agitating for Biafra are Jobless).

(5) That the 44 Suretying (six) IPOB members were assembled in less than 4 hours without any advertisement, notice or pre-information.

(6) That if a notice for Biafrans to stand sureties was to be announced that over 100,000 hardcore Biafrans would have shown up in small Yenagoa. That IPOB in Bayelsa state is very strong.

(7) That IPOB does not abandon any of its own.

(8) That average Bayelsans are hardcore Biafrans not withstanding what the Nigerian media would want you to believe.

(9) That there are people sympathetic to the struggle in various corridors of power who are not happy when Biafrans will being victimised and are willing to "code out" life saving information.

(1 That getting arrested does not kill the Biafran spirit, rather it acts as a fertiliser. That any arrested IPOB member comes out more determined and energised for the struggle.

The Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
(CONTINUATION)

PERSECUTION

Joseph obeyed God and did not join any existing church. As he told people what he had seen and heard, he began experiencing opposition and persecution.
I soon found … that my telling the story had excited a great deal of prejudice against me among professors of religion, and was the cause of great persecution, which continued to increase; and though I was an obscure boy, only between fourteen and fifteen years of age, and my circumstances in life such as to make a boy of no consequence in the world, yet men of high standing would take notice sufficient to excite the public mind against me, and create a bitter persecution; and this was common among all the sects—all united to persecute me.
It caused me serious reflection then, and often has since, how very strange it was that an obscure boy, of a little over fourteen years of age, and one, too, who was doomed to the necessity of obtaining a scanty maintenance by his daily labor, should be thought a character of sufficient importance to attract the attention of the great ones of the most popular sects of the day, and in a manner to create in them a spirit of the most bitter persecution and reviling. But strange or not, so it was, and it was often the cause of great sorrow to myself.
I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it, neither dared I do it.
However, it was nevertheless a fact that I had beheld a vision. I have thought since, that I felt much like Paul, when he made his defense before King Agrippa, and related the account of the vision he had when he saw a light, and heard a voice; but still there were but few who believed him; some said he was dishonest, others said he was mad; and he was ridiculed and reviled. But all this did not destroy the reality of his vision. He had seen a vision, he knew he had, and all the persecution under heaven could not make it otherwise; and though they should persecute him unto death, yet he knew, and would know to his latest breath, that he had both seen a light and heard a voice speaking unto him, and all the world could not make him think or believe otherwise.

So it was with me. I had actually seen a light, and in the midst of that light I saw two Personages, and they did in reality speak to me; and though I was hated and persecuted for saying that I had seen a vision, yet it was true; and while they were persecuting me, reviling me, and speaking all manner of evil against me falsely for so saying, I was led to say in my heart: Why persecute me for telling the truth? I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? For I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it, neither dared I do it; at least I knew that by so doing I would offend God, and come under condemnation.
I had now got my mind satisfied so far as the sectarian world was concerned—that it was not my duty to join with any of them, but to continue as I was until further directed. I had found the testimony of James to be true—that a man who lacked wisdom might ask of God, and obtain, and not be upbraided.
I continued to pursue my common vocations in life until the twenty-first of September, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-three, all the time suffering severe persecution at the hands of all classes of men, both religious and irreligious, because I continued to affirm that I had seen a vision.
During the space of time which intervened between the time I had the vision and the year eighteen hundred and twenty-three—having been forbidden to join any of the religious sects of the day, and being of very tender years, and persecuted by those who ought to have been my friends and to have treated me kindly, and if they supposed me to be deluded to have endeavored in a proper and affectionate manner to have reclaimed me—I was left to all kinds of temptations; and, mingling with all kinds of society, I frequently fell into many foolish errors, and displayed the weakness of youth, and the foibles of human nature; which, I am sorry to say, led me into divers temptations, offensive in the sight of God. In making this confession, no one need suppose me guilty of any great or malignant sins. A disposition to commit such was never in my nature.

ANGEL MORONI'S VISIT

Persecution continued as Joseph refused to deny that he had seen God. On 21 September 1823 after retiring to bed, Joseph prayed to know his standing before the Lord. The angel Moroni appeared to him.
On the evening of the above-mentioned twenty-first of September, after I had retired to my bed for the night, I betook myself to prayer and supplication to Almighty God for forgiveness of all my sins and follies, and also for a manifestation to me, that I might know of my state and standing before him; for I had full confidence in obtaining a divine manifestation, as I previously had one.
Three years after Joseph Smith’s First Vision, God sent the angel Moroni to instruct Joseph about restoring the gospel of Jesus Christ.
While I was thus in the act of calling upon God, I discovered a light appearing in my room, which continued to increase until the room was lighter than at noonday, when immediately a personage appeared at my bedside, standing in the air, for his feet did not touch the floor.
He had on a loose robe of most exquisite whiteness. It was a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen; nor do I believe that any earthly thing could be made to appear so exceedingly white and brilliant. His hands were naked, and his arms also, a little above the wrist; so, also, were his feet naked, as were his legs, a little above the ankles. His head and neck were also bare. I could discover that he had no other clothing on but this robe, as it was open, so that I could see into his bosom.
Not only was his robe exceedingly white, but his whole person was glorious beyond description, and his countenance truly like lightning. The room was exceedingly light, but not so very bright as immediately around his person. When I first looked upon him, I was afraid; but the fear soon left me.
He called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of God to me, and that his name was Moroni; that God had a work for me to do; and that my name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people.
He said there was a book deposited, written upon gold plates, giving an account of the former inhabitants of this continent, and the source from whence they sprang. He also said that the fulness of the everlasting Gospel was contained in it, as delivered by the Savior to the ancient inhabitants;
Also, that there were two stones in silver bows—and these stones, fastened to a breastplate, constituted what is called the Urim and Thummim—deposited with the plates; and the possession and use of these stones were what constituted “seers” in ancient or former times; and that God had prepared them for the purpose of translating the book.
After telling me these things, he commenced quoting the prophecies of the Old Testament. He first quoted part of the third chapter of Malachi; and he quoted also the fourth or last chapter of the same prophecy, though with a little variation from the way it reads in our Bibles. Instead of quoting the first verse as it reads in our books, he quoted it thus:
“For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall burn as stubble; for they that come shall burn them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”
And again, he quoted the fifth verse thus: “Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.”
He also quoted the next verse differently: “And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming.”
In addition to these, he quoted the eleventh chapter of Isaiah, saying that it was about to be fulfilled. He quoted also the third chapter of Acts, twenty-second and twenty-third verses, precisely as they stand in our New Testament. He said that that prophet was Christ; but the day had not yet come when “they who would not hear his voice should be cut off from among the people,” but soon would come.
He also quoted the second chapter of Joel, from the twenty-eighth verse to the last. He also said that this was not yet fulfilled, but was soon to be. And he further stated that the fulness of the Gentiles was soon to come in. He quoted many other passages of scripture, and offered many explanations which cannot be mentioned here.
The vision was opened to my mind that I could see the place where the plates were deposited.
Again, he told me, that when I got those plates of which he had spoken—for the time that they should be obtained was not yet fulfilled—I should not show them to any person; neither the breastplate with the Urim and Thummim; only to those to whom I should be commanded to show them; if I did I should be destroyed. While he was conversing with me about the plates, the vision was opened to my mind that I could see the place where the plates were deposited, and that so clearly and distinctly that I knew the place again when I visited it.
After this communication, I saw the light in the room begin to gather immediately around the person of him who had been speaking to me, and it continued to do so until the room was again left dark, except just around him; when, instantly I saw, as it were, a conduit open right up into heaven, and he ascended till he entirely disappeared, and the room was left as it had been before this heavenly light had made its appearance.
I lay musing on the singularity of the scene, and marveling greatly at what had been told to me by this extraordinary messenger; when, in the midst of my meditation, I suddenly discovered that my room was again beginning to get lighted, and in an instant, as it were, the same heavenly messenger was again by my bedside.
He commenced, and again related the very same things which he had done at his first visit, without the least variation; which having done, he informed me of great judgments which were coming upon the earth, with great desolations by famine, sword, and pestilence; and that these grievous judgments would come on the earth in this generation. Having related these things, he again ascended as he had done before.
In A.D. 421 the prophet Moroni buried sacred records of his people in the Hill Cumorah. Returning later as a resurrected being, he told Joseph Smith about the ancient record, which contains the fulness of the gospel as delivered by the Savior to ancient inhabitants of the American continent. That record is the Book of Mormon.
By this time, so deep were the impressions made on my mind, that sleep had fled from my eyes, and I lay overwhelmed in astonishment at what I had both seen and heard. But what was my surprise when again I beheld the same messenger at my bedside, and heard him rehearse or repeat over again to me the same things as before; and added a caution to me, telling me that Satan would try to tempt me (in consequence of the indigent circumstances of my father’s family), to get the plates for the purpose of getting rich. This he forbade me, saying that I must have no other object in view in getting the plates but to glorify God, and must not be influenced by any other motive than that of building his kingdom; otherwise I could not get them.
After this third visit, he again ascended into heaven as before, and I was again left to ponder on the strangeness of what I had just experienced; when almost immediately after the heavenly messenger had ascended from me for the third time, the cock crowed, and I found that day was approaching, so that our interviews must have occupied the whole of that night.
I shortly after arose from my bed, and, as usual, went to the necessary labors of the day; but, in attempting to work as at other times, I found my strength so exhausted as to render me entirely unable. My father, who was laboring along with me, discovered something to be wrong with me, and told me to go home. I started with the intention of going to the house; but, in attempting to cross the fence out of the field where we were, my strength entirely failed me, and I fell helpless on the ground, and for a time was quite unconscious of anything.
The first thing that I can recollect was a voice speaking unto me, calling me by name. I looked up, and beheld the same messenger standing over my head, surrounded by light as before. He then again related unto me all that he had related to me the previous night, and commanded me to go to my father and tell him of the vision and commandments which I had received.
I obeyed; I returned to my father in the field, and rehearsed the whole matter to him. He replied to me that it was of God, and told me to go and do as commanded by the messenger. I left the field, and went to the place where the messenger had told me the plates were deposited; and owing to the distinctness of the vision which I had had concerning it, I knew the place the instant that I arrived there.

THE SACRED RECORD
Convenient to the village of Manchester, Ontario county, New York, stands a hill of considerable size, and the most elevated of any in the neighborhood. On the west side of this hill, not far from the top, under a stone of considerable size, lay the plates, deposited in a stone box. This stone was thick and rounding in the middle on the upper side, and thinner towards the edges, so that the middle part of it was visible above the ground, but the edge all around was covered with earth.
Having removed the earth, I obtained a lever, which I got fixed under the edge of the stone, and with a little exertion raised it up. I looked in, and there indeed did I behold the plates, the Urim and Thummim, and the breastplate, as stated by the messenger. The box in which they lay was formed by laying stones together in some kind of cement. In the bottom of the box were laid two stones crossways of the box, and on these stones lay the plates and the other things with them.
On the west side of this hill, not far from the top, under a stone of considerable size, lay the plates, deposited in a stone box.
I made an attempt to take them out, but was forbidden by the messenger, and was again informed that the time for bringing them forth had not yet arrived, neither would it, until four years from that time; but he told me that I should come to that place precisely in one year from that time, and that he would there meet with me, and that I should continue to do so until the time should come for obtaining the plates.
Accordingly, as I had been commanded, I went at the end of each year, and at each time I found the same messenger there, and received instruction and intelligence from him at each of our interviews, respecting what the Lord was going to do, and how and in what manner his kingdom was to be conducted in the last days.
As my father’s worldly circumstances were very limited, we were under the necessity of laboring with our hands, hiring out by day’s work and otherwise, as we could get opportunity. Sometimes we were at home, and sometimes abroad, and by continuous labor were enabled to get a comfortable maintenance.
Moroni returned once a year for four years and further instructed the young prophet. After those four years, Joseph received the plates and began translating the Book of Mormon.
Joseph worked a number of jobs and provided a comfortable living for his family. In 1825 he took a job in Chenango County, New York. There he met Emma Hale, whom he married on 18 January 1827.
At length the time arrived for obtaining the plates, the Urim and Thummim, and the breastplate. On the twenty-second day of September, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-seven, having gone as usual at the end of another year to the place where they were deposited, the same heavenly messenger delivered them up to me with this charge: that I should be responsible for them; that if I should let them go carelessly, or through any neglect of mine, I should be cut off; but that if I would use all my endeavors to preserve them, until he, the messenger, should call for them, they should be protected.
I soon found out the reason why I had received such strict charges to keep them safe, and why it was that the messenger had said that when I had done what was required at my hand, he would call for them. For no sooner was it known that I had them, than the most strenuous exertions were used to get them from me. Every stratagem that could be invented was resorted to for that purpose. The persecution became more bitter and severe than before, and multitudes were on the alert continually to get them from me if possible. But by the wisdom of God, they remained safe in my hands, until I had accomplished by them what was required at my hand. When, according to arrangements, the messenger called for them, I delivered them up to him; and he has them in his charge until this day, being the second day of May, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight. …
The Book of Mormon, first printed in 1830, is currently being published in more than 80 languages worldwide.
On the 5th day of April, 1829, Oliver Cowdery came to my house, until which time I had never seen him. He stated to me that having been teaching school in the neighborhood where my father resided, and my father being one of those who sent to the school, he went to board for a season at his house, and while there the family related to him the circumstances of my having received the plates, and accordingly he had come to make inquiries of me.
Two days after the arrival of Mr. Cowdery (being the 7th of April) I commenced to translate the Book of Mormon, and he began to write for me.
In April 1829 Joseph Smith, with Oliver Cowdery as scribe, began to translate the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God. After Joseph finished, other people were privileged to see the gold plates. These witnesses have also recorded their testimonies, for “in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established” (2 Corinthians 13:1).

THE PRIESTHOOD RESTORED
We still continued the work of translation, when, in the ensuing month (May, 1829), we on a certain day went into the woods to pray and inquire of the Lord respecting baptism for the remission of sins, that we found mentioned in the translation of the plates. While we were thus employed, praying and calling upon the Lord, a messenger from heaven descended in a cloud of light, and having laid his hands upon us, he ordained us, saying:
Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery received the Aaronic Priesthood by the laying on of hands from John the Baptist on 15 May 1829.
“Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah, I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness.”
He said this Aaronic Priesthood had not the power of laying on hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, but that this should be conferred on us hereafter; and he commanded us to go and be baptized, and gave us directions that I should baptize Oliver Cowdery, and that afterwards he should baptize me.
Accordingly we went and were baptized. I baptized him first, and afterwards he baptized me—after which I laid my hands upon his head and ordained him to the Aaronic Priesthood, and afterwards he laid his hands on me and ordained me to the same Priesthood—for so we were commanded.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized in the home of Peter Whitmer Sr. on 6 April 1830. Close to 60 people witnessed as 6 men met the requirements of New York to establish a new religious society.
The messenger who visited us on this occasion and conferred this Priesthood upon us, said that his name was John, the same that is called John the Baptist in the New Testament, and that he acted under the direction of Peter, James and John, who held the keys of the Priesthood of Melchizedek, which Priesthood, he said, would in due time be conferred on us, and that I should be called the first Elder of the Church, and he (Oliver Cowdery) the second. It was on the fifteenth day of May, 1829, that we were ordained under the hand of this messenger, and baptized.
Immediately on our coming up out of the water after we had been baptized, we experienced great and glorious blessings from our Heavenly Father. No sooner had I baptized Oliver Cowdery, than the Holy Ghost fell upon him, and he stood up and prophesied many things which should shortly come to pass. And again, so soon as I had been baptized by him, I also had the spirit of prophecy, when, standing up, I prophesied concerning the rise of this Church, and many other things connected with the Church, and this generation of the children of men. We were filled with the Holy Ghost, and rejoiced in the God of our salvation.
This is the simple, direct testimony of Joseph Smith, giving some of the events that led to the Restoration of the gospel and the founding of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is finally speaking and on video..... Where are all those who asked why he's silent?

“They said the National Security Adviser stole $2.2billion. I don’t believe somebody can just steal $2.2 billion. We bought warships, we bought aircraft, we bought lots of weapons for the army and so on and so forth and you are still saying 2.2 billion, so where did we get the money to buy all those things?”

“Yes, there were some issues; yes, there are still corruption issues; but some of it were blown, I’d say exaggerated, and they give a very bad impression about our nation. You cannot say the national security adviser stole $2.2billion. It is not just possible,” he said ~ Goodluck Jonathan

BIAFRA: STATE SPONSORED WAR AGAINST BIAFRAN ECONOMY BY NIGERIA GOVT: A REASON FOR SOBER REFLECTION FOR EVERY BIAFRAN



By Onyebuchi Eze (Nnamdi Kanu Disciple)
For Family Writers

A report coming to the Family Writers media desk of IPOB under the supreme command of Nnamdi Kanu is that there is a secret systematic onslaught against Biafran economy by Nigeria government going on presently. Due to his limited education, President Muhammadu Buhari who is intellectually dwarf by not understanding the ugly effect of economic collapse of any people with his northern collaborators has shifted the war against Biafra to our economy.

Gen Buhari and his kinsmen of northern oligarchy believed that the strength of Biafrans in the unshakable quest for the restoration of Biafra lies in the economic fire-power of Biafrans all over the world, Biafraland and defunct Nigeria federation inclusive. Because of this reality, there is a secret plot going on at the moment that the northern political holocausts in conjunction with Gen Buhari want to systematically liquidate all Biafran people own industries and companies in Nigeria. If any mischief-maker or gullible moron wish to doubt my revelation of this secret, let the person kindly enquire about the state of things at the moment with Innoson Motors Plant, Nnewi Anambra state, under Chief Dr Innocent Chukwuma as the CEO.

Reports coming from there proved that Innoson Motors is close to shutting down productions and supplies due to inability to sustain the company in the face of huge taxations meted on the company by Nigeria govt through their overhead obnoxious income taxes, unbearable custom and import duties taxations while clearing imported raw materials from the seaports, crazy utility billings coupled with net value of worker's salaries. These ugly experiences of Biafran industrialists in Nigeria is the same with Chikason Group of Companies also of Nnewi, under Chief Chika Okafor as the CEO. In fact, an unconfirmed report but with some elements of truth, has it that AZ Petroleum, a subsidiary of Chikason group has completed arrangement to transfer productions, supplies and services to Accra Ghana where they feel safe to stay with promises from the Ghanaian domestic ministry of industries of security, protection and minimal taxes and bills.

Nigeria government under the maximum ruler, Gen Buhari want to use the unaffordable taxes, duties and billings to liquidate industries owned by Biafrans in order to castrate our people economically, create artificial joblessness in Biafraland and beyond, push our people who are gainfully employed by these industries out of work into poverty and starvation. May I tell any reader of this article that so many big, medium and small industries in Nigeria owned by Biafrans had been liquidated due to these obnoxious economic and fiscal policies targeted at strangulating Biafran economy. O ye my Biafran compatriots, I want all of us to know that now is no longer time to play the orstrich because the destiny of our collective posterity is now under contention by these vampires of death and destruction. It is no longer about the Biafran commoners alone but every Biafran whether rich or poor, industrialists or employees.

Now that Buhari's regime of tyranny has declared war on economy of Biafrans by liquidating our industries with obnoxious policies, is it not time for every Biafran whether rich or poor, whether educated or uneducated, whether elites or commoners, whether politicians or constituents, whether industrialists or employees in the labour market to queue behind Nnamdi Kanu and demand for the restoration of Biafra? Restoration of Biafra remains our only hope to sustain the economy for our future generations. It is taboo for any Biafran to sacrifice the future of our descendants in Nigeria in order to protect present political positions and obscure business interest.

I, Onyebuchi Eze said verbatim that if my present satisfaction will make me to forget the ugly future that may await our descendants in Nigeria should Biafra is not restored; I better die because I will simply become a grandfather of disgrace. O ye Biafrans, is it not the time for every Biafran to have sober reflection on where Nigeria government under Gen Buhari is pushing our people to economically? Judging by what is happening presently, if Biafra is not restored fast, soon our people will enter into economic catastrophe that will engulf the length and breadth of Biafraland due to the present de-industrialization of Biafraland and Biafrans. I end my analysis with these two great Igbo-Biafran proverbs. "Ñtị ga anụ ihe agaghị ara ka okpu-ata". "Ọbụrụ na anyị emee ñgwa-ñgwa, anyị emeghara ọdachi". I rest my case.

MASS ABDUCTION OF BIAFRANS IN BAYELSA: "I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY CARRIED MY FATHER TO"--- SON OF VICTIM RAISES ALARM

By Paul Ihechi Alagba
For Family Writers

Ezeagu Joseph, the eldest son of Mr. Ezeagu Hillary has raised an outcry over the unknown whereabout of his father ever since he left home to attend an IPOB Meeting in Bayelsa state on Saturday.
Mr. Hillary Ezeagu, 67, was among scores of Biafran activists bundled away by highly equipped members of the Nigerian Army at Lake View Lodge Okaka, Bayelsa state on October 22, 2016.

According to the young man, Joseph who spoke with Family Writers, the disappearance of Mr. Hillary, the sole bread winner of his family have been grossly felt by the rest of his entire family.
"My Dad went for the IPOB general meeting at Lake View Hotel on Saturday. Since then we have not set eyes on him again. It was on Sunday morning that we received information that my father have been arrested by Army people," 22year old Joseph told Family Writers.
"We are completely devastated by this horrible news. My dad has done nothing wrong to deserve this kind of wickedness," he said.
When asked if he knows the current location where his father and others are being detained, Joseph said: "I don't know where they carried my father to, I don't know his whereabout up till now.
"Someone told us that the army people have been moving them to different Army Barracks since yesterday, but we have information that they are currently at Okaka Barracks.
"I'm afraid of going there because they may arrest or kill me there. We really need help to get my dad out" he stated.

Meanwhile, the abduction of IPOB members numbering not less than one hundred in Bayelsa state have continued to generate outrage among Biafrans, with many already asking for a reform on the peaceful approach of the agitation.
An activist who escaped the raid narrated how the army officials came with two open vans, which was completely filled up by scores of Biafrans they abducted by the time they left the venue of the incident.
"I went for the meeting around 6pm. While the meeting was in progress, the army people came to the hotel and asked the hotel attendants to step aside. They started asking us some questions, after which the Commander ordered them to arrest everybody. I managed to escape because of the rowdy scenario.
"After that, they waited behind for others who will come late. As soon they drop from their Keke or taxi, they immediately arrest them and throw them into their van," the activist who pleaded anonymity revealed.


ALLEGATIONS OF PLANNED EXTRAJUDICIAL EXECUTIONS

Reliable sources have revealed that the Nigerian military plans on secretly executing the activists they illegally arrested. It also revealed the intention of the military to tag the activists as cultists and criminals in order to justify their evil plans.
There is need for the international community and all lovers of freedom to rise up against the tyrannical outburst of the Muhammadu Buhari led Nigerian government. Self Determination is the inalienable right of all people; it is not a criminal or capital offence.

NO MAN CAN STOP BIAFRA---PROPHET NWOKO BLASTS BUHARI

In a recent visit by Family Writers to the popular Spiritual leader and activist, Prophet Anthony Nwoko, who cautioned President Muhammadu Buhari over his hardened heart towards Biafra restoration, warning him that the ways of man is different from the ways God.

Angered by Buhari’s “no referendum for Biafra”, Prophet Nwoko said that whether referendum or no referendum, Biafra would be restored under the watch of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, and also warned Buhari to have a rethink and let Biafra go because no amount of force would stop the Biafra project, not even Buhari himself.

Moreover, In a statement titled; BIAFRA: BUHARI LET MY PEOPLE GO. The Prophet said:
"Buhari is telling the world that there is no way Biafra will emerge through referendum under his administration. I want to let him know that the ways of God is quite different from the ways of a carnal man like Buhari and the world at large.
"Biafra is God’s heavenly project, which has been ordained from heaven to liberate Africa as a whole and the rest of black man. The heavens have a mandate for Biafra restoration.
"So, no President, Senator or any other power, can stop the plan of God. I advice Buhari and those backing him, to bow because nobody that works against God’s plan will live to tell the story, not even himself, Buhari." he said.

While proclaiming the return of the lost Biafra glory, Prophet Nwoko, challenged President Buhari that if he is in doubt, let him assemble his prophets, Imams or any other power for a challenge.
"The three wise men saw the glory of God in a star, they did not conceal it. But the reverse is the case in Nigeria for not to allowing the light to manifest, because of tribalism against Biafra nation.
"I still assure the world that no matter the obstacle for Biafra, the detention of Nnamdi Kanu by Nigeria President, the spirit says touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm,

"Kanu is a project of God and therefore, he is an apple of God. So, Buhari should let my people go, anything short of that, he and his government will blame themselves for destroying Nigeria. A word is enough for the wise."

On the economic recession, Prophet Nwoko said that the APC led government and its Vice President has no authority from above to deliver Nigeria, because they don’t have all it takes. He said that the Prophets, Seers, Pastors, Priests are all deceiving them because they cannot represent or speak for the nation.
"They are not the mouthpiece of God. Since the All Progressive Congress (APC) led government has denied the Holy Spirit, the nation can go carnally. Therefore, there is no positive result coming out of them.

"As a matter of fact, the Holy Spirit has departed from Nigeria. If the nation wants to be liberated, they should seek the face of God in Biafra land. God hates injustice, and Nigeria cannot eat their cake and have it.
"The road to salvation is in the South of Nigeria now, and Buhari and Osibanjo are all parasites, reaping where they did not sow.
"I stand in authority as the mouthpiece of God to declare that there will be no peace, no blessing, as a matter of fact, the heaven is sealed up against this wicked nation called Nigeria." Nwoko prophesied.

The dreaded Niger Delta Avengers says one of its sophisticated "strike teams" has blown up Chevron Escravos export pipeline.
The activist in a statement published on their twitter page, stated that the operation was carried out around 3:45am early Tuesday morning, October 25, 2016.
"Today, at about 3:45am, our strike team 06 took down Chevron Escravos export pipeline at Escravos offshore" ND Avengers stated on twitter.

The activists whose attacks on pipelines have reduced Nigeria's oil and gas production to its all time low stated that the reason for their recent operation is to send a strong message to multinational Oil Companies, and Indigenous Oil Companies in the region to ensure maximum obedience to their order and desist from carrying out any rehabilitation work on any of their facilities that has been blown up.

They also warned the federal government of Nigeria that any attempt to use the ongoing dialogue to deceive or distract their attention from their laid down demands will be be at the peril of the Nigerian government.
"This is to further warn all IOCs' that when we warn that there should be no repairs, pending negotiation/dialogue with the people of the Niger Delta, it means there should be no repairs.
"Any attempt to use dialogue to distract us so as to allow the free flow of our oil will halt the dialogue process." Avengers warned.

BIAFRA: REVEALED; CAPTAIN GBULIE SOLD BIAFRA TO NIGERIA 1966-1970

BIAFRA: REVEALED; CAPTAIN GBULIE SOLD BIAFRA TO NIGERIA 1966-1970






BIAFRA: While they promise them liberty, they are the servants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought into bondage.


Captain Gbulie by his concocted stories in one of the zoos Nigeria newspapers accepted openly that he is in the group of Banjo and Ifeajuna, their type person on Nigeria side is Benjamin Adekunle a.k.a black scorpion who sold Intel's to Biafrans. The above three men were known, but captain gbulie has now become the latest revelation from Biafraland.

He has shot himself in the foot the second time first was at OPI Nsukka one of the last towns that were captured before the fall of Enugu capital of Biafra.



Gbulie side away from telling Ndi Igbo and the whole Biafrans today how he received the gunshot wound, who shot him, Biafran soldiers or the Nigerian zoo soldiers. Is it a fatal shot or aimed shot? How come majority Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu died along side order, Biafran gallant soldiers but only Gbulie survived in the same Nsukka sector? There is something Captain gbulie is yet to tell us.

The indigenous people of Biafra whom captain gbulie accused of selfishness and fomenting trouble against Islamic holy Nigeria has indeed come to re-engineer the Biafran craft, dig out historical facts and expose the likes of Gbulie in our midst.

Proves abound that Gbulie lied to the world about the role he played in scuttling the

The Republic of Biafra then.



He claimed to have spent six years in prison; and his imprisonment was a sham, stage managed to hoodwink the unsuspecting Biafrans.

General Philip Effiong spent two years how come his junior through whom he takes order got a lesser jail sentence, does it mean that general Effiong's iniquity is miles offence while Gbulie's sin against the zoo called Nigeria is more severe?Another prove that captain Gbulie lied is his admonition to IPOB saying quote: Ojukwu missed the chance of getting a higher bargain of Confederacy by that Biafra is not negotiable.

My question to Gbulie is this, did General Ojukwu made this statement before or after Aburi conference in Ghana? Historically, the Republic of Biafra was declared after Aburi accord thus rubbishing captain Gbulie's assertion concerning Ojukwu's statements according to him.



The Aburi conference took place on the 4th-5th of January 1967 being Wednesday and Thursday respectively. While the Biafran independent was proclaimed on the 30th of May,1967 being Friday.

The world can now see that Gbulie is a saboteur, outing the cat before the horse.General Ojukwu was suspicious of Gbulie throughout his lifetime; Ojukwu could not lay a hand on a compelling reason to either Court Marshall or give him the same treatment given to those who betrayed our motherland.

Prove No 3, captain Gbulie had wished that the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra Dr.Nnamdi Kanu spend six years in prison as a prove that he meant business in getting Biafra sovereign nation restored, Gbulie has again exposed himself as one of those working hard to see that Dr Kanu remains in prison indefinitely. Captain Gbulie was indirectly berating IPOB when he said show me your weapon stockpile with which to face Almighty zoo called Nigeria. Surprisingly, the director of Radio Biafra sold a dummy to the zoo who did not know the different between " I'LL DESTROY NIGERIA WITH TRUTH " and I'll wage war with Nigeria with British weapons is mass destruction.



The former has come to pass, the zoo called Nigeria is crawling on it kneels, begging Igbos Biafrans to go with their Biafra but leave their kit and kin the Biafrans in the riverine area of Biafraland behind.

Dr Kanu and indeed all hardcore Biafran achieved this remarkable foot without firing a shot, and the likes of Gbulie is not comfortable with that.

45 years after Gbulie and his master's northern Islamic government of the zoo called Nigeria has failed in their plots to wipe out Biafrans, the 77 years old man is now cap in hand begging a certificate forger, rapist and murderous jihadist Mohamadu Buhari.

Gbulie can do his worst, but I can assure him that CHUKWU OKIKE ABIAMA will bring out our director Dr Nnamdi Kanu and other innocent Biafrans in no time and Biafra sovereign nation shall be restored.

All hail Biafra.
