BREAKING: Biafra Hero, Nnamdi Kanu, To Shut Down South-East For 24 Hours, Releases Shocking Directives To Igbos Nationwide




The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is set to shut down the South-East and other Igbo-speaking communities in the country, on May 30.
This disclosure was made in a statement signed by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, and made available to Post-Nigeria, on Saturday evening.
The statement partly reads:
“30th May 2017, will be a public holiday of remembrance for the sacrifice our heroes and heroines made for the sacred land of Biafra, therefore we must honour them. 
“There will be no movement throughout Biafraland, and every area where a majority of Biafran population reside. Both Biafraland and wherever our people live across the globe will come to a standstill.
“Therefore, we expect every man, woman, child, and business, to observe this great annual event, by staying at home and not engaging in any business activity.
“There will be no movement in Biafraland, both human and vehicular. Biafraland will be shut down completely as a mark of dignified respect to those that sacrificed their lives for us.
“That is the least we can do to show them and Almighty God that this generation of IPOB and those to come will remain forever indebted to them that gave their lives to stop the elimination of the Biafran race from the face of the earth.”

JUDGEMENT DAY!!! Aso Rock Boils, As Fearless Fayose Storms Buhari's Office, Shocks Donald Trump...



The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, who doubles as Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors Forum, has written to President Muhammadu Buhari, saying that it was God who made the President to come back alive, after his 49 days medical vacation in the United Kingdom.
In a statement issued on his behalf by Idowu Adelusi, his Chief Press Secretary, Fayose said Buhari received the mercy of God.
He advised the President to also show mercy to Sambo Dasuki, the former National Security Adviser; Nnamdi Kanu, Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB; and other Nigerians “suffering illegal and unconstitutional incarceration under your directive”.
“You have received the mercy and favour of God. You have come back from your medical vacation alive. By what people had said and by your own account, it is the mercy and favour of God that have seen you through, as well as the prayers of everyone,” he said. 
“It is incumbent on you to now also show mercy. I advise you to show mercy to Nnamdi Kanu and Sambo Dasuki, and such other Nigerians that are suffering unjust, punitive, illegal, and unconstitutional incarceration, under your directive or administration.
“Allow all those who have been granted bail by the court to enjoy their bail, while their trial continues. This is the right, just, and merciful thing to do. To continue to disdain the court is reckless and unconstitutional. Moreover, it is a sin and it is oppressive.”
Taunting Buhari, Fayose added: “While you were away, peace returned to the Niger Delta, impacting positively on crude oil production and sales. The economy also improved with the appreciation of the Naira. Now that you are back, it will not be right to put the country on the reverse gear again, through some pig-headed policies and truculent militarist posturing.”
He went spiritual, saying God is not happy with the “oppression of the poor by the rich”.
“God is not happy at the oppression of the poor by the rich, and of the weak by the strong,” he said.
“Those of us in authority must not use our God-given powers to oppress the citizens placed under our charge. Only righteousness exalts a nation, Sin is a reproach, and God is continually angry with the wicked.
“It is wickedness to refuse to obey court orders and trample upon the constitutional and God-given, fundamental human rights of citizens.” Fayose stated.

Shock as Uzor Orji Kalu drops another bombshell in US says, 'BUHARI does not forgive when offended' but urges him to forgive KANU, other youths



FORMER GoveArnor of Abia State has dropped another bombshell in the faraway United states that Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari does not forgive when offended.
He made this stunning revelation while delivering a speech at the US war college in Washington DC, USA. The former Abia State governor called on the president of Nigeria to forgive whoever offended him in the spirit of national reconciliation and also called on those who feel Buhari has offended them in any way to forgive him. 
He decried the division in the country which has eaten deep into the social fabric of Nigeria and urged Nigerians to live in peace with one another. Apparently making implicit reference to the agitation in the southeast which  led to the arrest and detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), he described as youth restiveness and urged the president for forgiveness  and also called on those who feel aggrieved to forgive the president adding that the issue of youth restiveness is one to be tackled very quickly.
He said: ''There are insinuations that the president is unforgiving. I call on him to forgive his enemies and vice versa. Nigeria is our own and if there are people that have offended the president, the president should forgive them. Likewise those that feel the president has offended them.''

FINALLY Buhari’s Daughter Exposed – The Real Reason Fathima Buhari Became 4th Wife Will Shock You

gimba-kumo-wedding-to-president-buhari-daughter

The real reason why Fatima Buhari became the 4th wife of Malam Gimba Yau Kumo has been revealed. According to TheCapital.ng, the real reason she got married to a man who already had 3 wives is simply because her first marriage was a nightmare. 41 year old Fatima allegedly suffered severe domestic violence in the hands of her first husband who became violent
She reportedly had 4 children with, all of who have the sickle cell gene. Read what they wrote: Unknown to many people, Fatima Buhari who got married to a former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, Malam Gimba Yau Kumo last weekend in Daura, used to be married to another man.
Her marriage to the latter produced four kids – who were all born with the sickle cell gene. Thus Fatima can hardly be described as a naive bride. She’s not a young lady as people think she is. She experienced hell in her first marriage. She didn’t enjoy the marriage a bit as her ex-husband reportedly beat her to stupor at the slightest provocation.
When the beatings became extreme and started to take a toll on her health, she divorced the guy. Let’s hope she has found peace and love in the arms of her new husband. Unfortunately, all her kids are sickle cell patients. Fatima is one of the president’s children from his first wife, Safinatu Muhammadu Buhari.

Trump to the Biafrans Waving Flag at his Rally: “If the people of Biafra want Republic of Biafra, it will be a reality during my Administration”.

president-trump

Donald Trump, the Republican candidate in the United States forthcoming election has issued a Statement Regarding his foreign policy towards African countries. The statement which was obtained through one of his local aid in the great state of Ohio shows that Mr. Trump is going to be the best American president for African nations.
He clearly stated that he is in total support of right to self-determination of any ethnic minority that want freedom from artificial countries created by the colonialist. He further explain that it is a very sacred right express by all free people to declare their independence from where they already are.
He used the Brexit referendum a reference to his new policy toward Africa, he believe that political conflicts across Africa will reduce if Africans are allowed to create their countries according to their God giving boundary. He want Africans to embrace peaceful referendum like United Kingdom instead of forced unity that cost millions of lives without meaningful progress.
The people of the United Kingdom have exercised the sacred right of all free peoples. They have declared their independence from the European Union, and have voted to reassert control over their own politics, borders and economy.
A Trump Administration pledges to strengthen our ties with a free and independent Britain, deepening our bonds in commerce, culture and mutual defense.”
The whole world is more peaceful and stable when people are allowed to exercise their right to self-determination, people will pledge allegiance to their God giving identity and natural boundary. He further promised that he will not engage in evil regime change policy of Obama administration which destabilized Libya and many other African countries”. The regime change of Clinton/Obama brought chaos, instability, destruction and death to many African people.
He promised to look into Biafra case and see how he can help in achieving peaceful political solution without bloodshed. He told the Biafra flag waiving man at his rally that “if the people of Biafra want Republic of Biafra, it will be a reality during my administration”. He further told the Biafran agitators to hold on help is on the way.



Under my Administration, Africans will have the right to redraw their map trough referendum and peaceful political process just like we have in Europe and other developed part of the world.
Under Trump Administration we will remove the embargo placed on Nigerians by Obama administration concerning Visa lottery program, he said Nigerians are smart and intelligent people, they contributed immensely to the development of modern America, we want them here in large number and my administration will enroll them back in visa lottery program, Obama is unfair to his fellow Blacks for removing the giant of Africa from the program he said.

VIDEO: Again, Nigeria's image battered before the world as NEW VIDEO surfaces, shows how JEGA rigged JONATHAN out of power



PARIS, NOVEMBER 01, 2016: (DGW)  The international community has expressed extreme shock as new video emerged how Nigeria's former President , Dr. Goodluck Jonathan was frustrated out of power in the north via doctored results and  other irregularities.
Recall Professor Ango Abdullahi did expressly say in his interview with the DAILY SUN published on October 16, 2016, that APC did not win  election anywhere  in the north and true to his claims the video below confirms his claims as ballot papers were freely thumb printed in favour of the  then All Progressives' Congress presidential  candidate,  Muhammadu Buhari.
This video emailed to our newsroom a while ago here in Paris has gone viral with members of the international community saying there actually no election in Africa's biggest democracy at the period under sad review.
Many have continued to express sympathy with the former leader after watching the video below for the unfair treatment meted out to him in the northern part of Nigeria and the subtle threat that emanated from Buhari against former President Jonathan - ''the dogs and the baboons will be soaked in blood'' -  in the build up to  2015 presidential election.

"NIGERIA....A Country with some of the finest Brains in the World, being led by an Illiterate whose English needs translation in English" - Pat Utomi



professor of political economy and management expert, Professor Patrick Utomi, said Nigerians and the government must be alive to their responsibilities if the country was to witness genuine transformation.
The former presidential candidate and founder of Centre for Value in Leadership (CVL), was guest speaker at a Breakfast Meeting organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Victory Chapel, Province 21, Magodo, Lagos State. The theme of the programme was: “Christian Leadership in Contemporary World”.
He began his message by charging the audience to initiate the kind of change they were clamouring for. He said it was unfortunate that people would stay at the comfort of their rooms only to complain about everything and do nothing about it. He stated that the man with the biggest authority in an organisation might not be the most effective person in moving the organisation towards its goal.
According to the erudite scholar, Nigeria has over the years, been immersed in poor leadership style, saying it was the cause of the crises the country was currently facing.
He also lamented that another major problem with leadership in Africa was the people’s refusal to be exposed to information.
“Readers are leaders. If we don’t read, we won’t anticipate problems or know how to deal with them upfront.”
He recalled how the Boko Haram insurgency could have been prevented when it was at its infant stage years ago.
“To lead, you must be knowledgeable. People don’t follow somebody who doesn’t know where he is going. Otherwise, you fall into a ditch.”
Utomi urged the government to invest in its human resources – their education and overall well-being in order to yield demographic dividends. He expressed the belief that quality leadership would make the seemingly impossible to be possible.
He recalled that he was shocked and couldn’t forget the day former president Goodluck Jonathan said Nigeria’s economy was doing well because it was the fastest growing private jets market in the world. He said it was unfortunate that Nigerians were accumulating wealth by buying obnoxious things. He said the same people had started auctioning such items.
Utomi said he could not fathom the paradox of corruption, religiosity and happiness linked to Nigerians.
“Nigerians were said to be the most religious people in the world. Just about the same time, the transparency index found Nigeria to be the most corrupt people in the world, and another study found Nigerians to be the happiest people in the world. I don’t know how many people can resolve this paradox,” he noted.
Professor Utomi told Daily Sun, shortly after the programme, that he had always remained a teacher.
He said: “For the fact that I am active on the board of several companies; that is taking teaching to the boardroom literally. I am on the board of maybe 30 or more companies around the world. I still teach at the Lagos Business School.
“Yes, I am also a politician. I am a member of the ruling party, as they say in Nigeria. I understand what ruling means – a party in power, I guess. As the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo said few weeks ago, himself, I, and a few others, wrote the roadmap and manifestoes of the party.”
On Christian leadership, Utomi said where the world was at the moment was as a result of Christian leadership. According to him, the Western civilisation was made possible through Christian influence, citing the spread of education as a typical example of the role of the church in promoting leadership. Christianity was responsible for modern education and modern education has been a fulcrum of human advancement and science, he maintained.
On the current economic crisis, he said President Muhammadu Buhari was ruling the country as if he was still in the medieval period.
His words: “The problem with Buhari’s administration is his medieval mindset. He excludes rather than includes. So, he does not get the best idea. He is insular. I don’t push him in this conversation but I am sure that if I put my friend, the vice president under pressure, he will admit what I am saying. Because of their medieval mindset, they have created a country that is more divided than they met it. And that is a problem for leadership that is marching towards progress.”
When asked how long Nigerians might wait for the change they voted for, he said: “Everything is based on context. Take a look at the mismanagement of this fuel thing; the whole idea is nonsensical. It doesn’t have to go on like this; you are punishing Nigerian people unnecessarily. The sufferings that Nigerians have endured in the last couple of weeks over this petrol crisis have reduced productivity. If you throw it open to people across the world to bring petrol to Nigeria and sell at any price, you will discover that within a year, the price of petrol will be lower than the government’s fixed price today.
“You (Buhari) set up a committee called Transition Committee. It suggested that you deregulate the whole thing about crude oil, but no, you won’t. Your ideas go back 30 years and they are irrelevant to this world. Open up your mind and listen to people and you can make progress. To lead is to serve.”
The pastor of the province, Peter Egho, said the breakfast meeting was to tackle the enormous challenges confronting Nigerians, including the church members. He said Nigeria needed someone with a solution to the present economic disorder. “Those who have the right orientation and boldness are needed at these difficult times,” he stated.
Assistant Pastor of the province, Bisi Olowoyo, told Daily Sun that the programme was to empower Christians to live a fulfilled life. He added that God had already made certain things available to His children, but noted that they need to take some practical steps for their manifestation.

2019: Tinubu Breaks Down In Tears, As Buhari 'Dumps' Osinbajo, Picks New Vice Presidential Candidate



If the report from the Presidency is anything to go by, President Muhammadu Buhari, has concluded plans to dump Vice President, Yemi Obasanjo, ahead of the 2019 General Election, Post-Nigeria gathered.
According to reports, Buhari has agreed to settle for a top politician in the South-East, who is presently a serving Governor.
The decision to dump Osinbajo, is allegedly connected to the recent comment made by the Vice President, who had faulted the recently launched biography of Buhari, where he (Osinbajo), disclosed that he was ‘nominated’ to become Buhari’s running mate in 2015.
Sources averred that the comments had not gone down well with Buhari.
The book, written by Professor John Paden, and titled: ‘Muhammadu Buhari: The Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria’, claimed that the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Leader, Bola Tinubu pressured the President against choosing Osinbajo as running mate, in the 2015 Presidential election.
Faulting Buhari’s biography, Osinbajo gave an insight into how he became the number two citizen of Nigeria, though he was not a politician, in the midst of the intrigues, and build up to the 2015 general elections.
Osinbajo’s explanation came last Wednesday night, against the backdrop of the controversy trailing how he was nominated, and his eventual emergence as the Vice President.
Speaking at a dinner organised in honour of over 200 graduates and beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Programmes, at the Presidential Villa, Osinbajo gave an indication that he was not in the reckoning abinitio.
His word, “I was in a group of young men and women, and one of them asked the question; how did I become Vice President, I was never a politician, or anything like that.
“So, I tried to explain; it is quite simple that someone somewhere has to recommend you. Somebody somewhere has to give you a helping hand, whether to be a Vice President, or to be an Aircraft Pilot, or to be an Engineer; somebody somewhere has to give you an opportunity.”
Reacting to Osinbajo’s statement on Monday, the editorial Board Chairman of the Nation Newspaper, Sam Omatseye, who is also a core loyalist to Tinubu said: “After all the hoopla, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, came with the jab. It was a simple sentence: “I was nominated.”
“He sentenced the controversy to a permanent rest. The so-called authorised biographer of PMB, was exposed as a phony scholar. Even if you write an authorised biography, it is no excuse to lie. He lacked rigour, or the curiosity of enquiry. He should have consulted Osinbajo himself. He didn’t. No one should do research under such a Professor.
“With that sentence, Osinbajo demystified a scholar, punctured a cabal of malevolent naysayers, and spoke to history.
“He spoke with the conviction of an Evangelist, the clarity of a Lawyer, and the comeback of an avenging angel. He mentioned no names, and abused no one. He merely said he was nominated. He was not a politician. He belonged to a group, and someone has to put you forward to such a high office. And who else could have done it!”

Why I Dislike and Would Never Support Buhari - Femi Kuti



Afrobeat King, Femi Kuti has described the recently inaugurated railway by President Muhammed Buhari as ‘inferior’ and ‘archaic’ at 8th edition of the symposium of The Fela Debates as part of the annual celebration to honour his late father.
The musician while speaking at The Fela Debates also blamed the leadership elite in the country for the continuous backwardness affecting Nigeria.
“When my father started speaking in 1971, 1972, I was between nine and 10,”
“See how time has gone and we’re not moving forward. We’re still moving backwards. And we’re still praising mediocracy, we’re still praising stupidity. And you know who is praising it? The elite encouraging it who are supposed to be educating their people would not tell their people that this is wrong. That’s why I used the example of the train. The elites go to America, go to Europe. They see the trains.”
“And the president, Muhammadu, you know the president has travelled all over the world. For him to even come and be launching that kind of railway line is an insult. Let us face the facts. And the elites, the Tinubus and everybody are praising him, that this is great job. What great job? We still cannot provide electricity for our people. This is electricity that we’ve been talking about since seventies. And we’re in 2016. So the Debates is here to keep on enlightening us so we don’t forget. The revolution is how to awaken the consciousness to understand that the revolution has already begun.” He said.
The 54 year old son of the late Afrobeats legend, Fela Kuti Femi also lamented about the bad economic state of the country that is also killing our history.
”Many Nigerians don’t even know that there is a time it was two dollars to one naira,” said Femi.It was N250 to travel to Europe or America at one time. It makes one want to cry.” He narrated.
Speaking at the end of the debates titled, ‘Movement Against Second Slavery’, Femi said Nigerians are distressed and Felabration is aimed at getting people to “think and find immediate solutions to changing our lives for the better and putting Africa on the world map where it should be and making it great.”
The Fela Debates, is a part of the celebration of Felabration, an annual festival founded Femi`s sister, Yeni Kuti, to honour their father, who died in August 1997. It started on Monday October 10 and will end on Sunday, October 16, with activities taking place in different parts of the world.
The event had speakers such as Lemi Ghariokwu, an artist who designed many of Fela Kuti’s album sleeves, Sis. Affiong Affiong, co-founder of Moyo wa Taifa, a Pan African Women’s Network, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila andAdebola, Williams, co-founder of RED Strat, Prof. Sophie Ouwole, executive director Centre for African Culture and Development (CEFACAD) the moderator and was held at NECA House, Ikeja, Lagos.

Why I Did Not Arrest And Detain Buhari During My Reign - Jonathan Shocks The World



In what appears like a criticism of his successor’s selective anti-corruption war, and intolerance for freedom of speech, former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has tactically revealed why he did not detain President Muhammadu Buhari, during his reign.
Recall, that prior to the 2015 election, Buhari, the then Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, had threatened violence, if the 2015 elections were rigged in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
“If what happened in 2011 (alleged rigging) should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood.’’ Buhari had said.
Speaking at a dinner he attended in the United States, on Saturday evening, Jonathan said, “under my watch, not a single Nigerian was sent to prison, because of anything they wrote, or said about me, or the administration that I headed,”
He added that, “Nigeria had neither political prisoners, nor political exile under my administration.”
Jonathan, who was the keynote Speaker at the Nigerian Lawyers Association’s Annual Dinner and Merit Awards ceremony, held in New York, mentioned some factors he considered to be his administration’s democratic credentials.
In his speech posted on his Twitter page on Saturday, he said, “I urge the Nigerian Lawyers in the US, and those in the diaspora, to do their best to support the democratic institutions we have built”.
His speech came at a time when several of his Aides are being detained, and some prosecuted for alleged corrupt practices, while many others have since absconded from the country.
Some of his former Aides being prosecuted include: the former National Security Adviser, NSA, Sambo Dasuki, former Presidential Aide, Waripamowei Dudafa. Others being investigated and currently in detention include: former Presidential spokesperson, Reuben Abati, and ex-FCT Minister, Bala Mohammed.
The speech also followed an increasing crackdown by security agencies, on citizen Journalists, and bloggers.
In his speech, the former President also argued strongly for Nigeria’s diversity, and its inherent benefits.
“We must resist the push of ego, that may make us want to pursue a regional, or narrow agenda.” Jonathan ended his speech with a touch on transparency and accountability.
“We enacted the Freedom of Information Act, and by that, we tore the veil of secrecy covering governance.” He noted.
