… Warns military, Uzodima on the safety of arrested members, Jewish Rabbi

By Steve Oko, Aba

The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, has distanced its members from the purported killing of six children in Anambra State, describing the allegation as “malicious and mischievous”.

IPOB in a press release issued by its Media and Publicity Secretary Emma Powerful entitled: “it’s ridiculous to link IPOB, ESN with the killing of children in Anambra State”, said mischief-makers were behind the false report.

The pro-Biafra movement said it inconceivable that IPOB and ESN whose main mandate is to defend the people of the Eastern region against terrorists, would turn against the same people they stake their lives to protect.

The statement read: “The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to a malicious and mischievous media report trying to link the IPOB and the Eastern Security Network, ESN with the purported killing of six children in Anambra State. Fabricated claims like this are only akin to giving the dog a bad name in order to hang it.

“Those behind this lame and poorly scripted dummy stupidly forgot the main reason for the establishment of ESN and the mission of IPOB. We came to save lives and not to waste them. We don’t kill those we daily put our lives on the line to save and protect. Associating us with such a barbaric act is not only insulting but a lie from the pit of hell.

“But for the sake of the gullible, we wouldn’t have bothered to signify distracting and foolish reports like this with a response. And this will be the last time we will respond to trash like this. We have no hands in the purported incident.”

IPOB also denied that those paraded by the military were ESN members arrested in Orlu, claiming that security agents only arrested innocent citizens and branded them ESN operatives.

“We also want to debunk the lies by the Nigeria military that those it arrested in Orlu during their genocidal raid and airstrike last week are ESN operatives.

” It’s just unfortunate that the Nigeria Army could curiously arrest innocent Biafran civilians at Orlu branding them ESN operatives. Their propaganda cannot work.

“We equally want to warn the Nigerian military to ensure nothing happens to the Jewish Rabbi Kelechi Nwachukwu and his family as well as other IPOB members they arrested out of frustration following their humiliation by the indomitable ESN operatives at Orlu.

“We MUST warn the Nigeria military as well as Hope Uzodinma, to ensure that nothing happens to these IPOB members and 33 synagogue worshipers arrested in Orlu and paraded in the public as if they were criminals.

“Hope Uzodima should be ashamed of himself for masterminding the killing and persecution of his unarmed people at a time his fellow Northern Governors are openly negotiating with armed bandits and terrorists.

“While the Northern Leaders are busy facilitating amnesty for mass murderers, Hope Uzodinma and his fellow traitors in the South East are sponsoring the destruction of their own people. But these saboteurs and Fulani slaves in our land must reap the fruit of treachery!”

How to jump-start Nigeria economy post-COVID-19 Pandemic

Nwali Tochukwu Watching with consternation the fall out of events, actions, and inactions of our Nigerian leaders on mitigating the negative impact of COVID-19 Pandemic disruptions on our social and economic lives. As a young dynamic business and entrepreneurship writer, and author cum small business owner, what came into my mind as we navigate the storms of COVID-19, was a common English phrase Adages, Proverbs, first recorded in Fuller’s Gnomologia, 1732: ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ which was translated to literally, solve the problems right now! Why procrastinating? If we, as a nation wants to break away from past mistakes, and present mistakes, we should hold the bull by the horn right now. And avoid the roads of political expediency. That is exactly what the stitch in time simply stood for. Promptly address issues posed by Coronavirus. By quickly sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the whole ha...
