IPOB Condemns Mob Action In Edo, Says Nigeria’s Break-Up Only Solution To Prevent Implosion
IPOB condemns Mob action in Edo, says Nigeria’s break-up only solution to prevent implosion. The noble family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide condemned the killing of travelling Northerners precisely Hausa tribe in Edo State.
The jungle justice mated on some of the purported Hausa hunters transiting from Edo State is a regrettable as the indigenous Hausas are equally facing ethnic annihilation in the hands of the Fulani invaders.
The global family of IPOB want our Southern brethren to understand that Hausas are never the problems in the indigenous people in Nigeria. Indigenous Hausas people are harmless, hardworking and accommodating unlike the Fulanis ethnic group. Indigenous Hausas are being forced to flee their ancestral communities by the marauding Fulani terrorists and bandits.
In that regard, IPOB is advising the Southern brethren not to attack Hausas in the region but to treat them as victims of oppression. People should try and distinguish between Hausas and Fulani ethnic groups.
Hausas are victims of subjugation and oppression in the hands of the Fulani ethnic groups. The barbaric attack and murder by the civilians in Edo State must have been as a result of ongoing bitterness and frustration from unaddressed Fulani terrorist and kidnapping activities that have being going on in Edo State.
However, it’s rather ignorance or stupidity for any Northerner, whether Hausa or Fulani or others to enter any Southern bushes or forest for a so called hunting.
The reason is that Nigerians particularly in the South has been crying and protesting against fulani kidnappers. Many people have been victims of Fulani kidnapping daily. To make the matters worse, the Nigerian Government and her murderous Security Forces fade ignorance of the kidnapping activities of the Fulani terrorists and bandits in the South.
The result is that every Northerner including the innocent ones has become a prime suspect. Nigerians are already provoked because the Nigerian Government and her Security have abandoned the people to their fate when it comes to security.
Even when some of these Fulani kidnappers are apprehended and handed over to the police by the locals, with one call from Abuja, the Police will release the Fulani kidnapper suspect. As a result the people have lost confidence in the Nigerian Security Agencies and have become a law unto themselves.
Haven identified these purported Hausas hunters with some of their supposed hunting weapons, the anger and suspicion of the people led to the unfortunate lynching of the men. We therefore, advise the Southern brethren to avoid ethnic profiling and attacks to all Northerners. All the Northerners are not harmful.
But those fulani terrorists and kidnappers inside the bushes are a threat to all the indigenous people in Nigeria. Indigenous people of Hausas are facing extermination like indigenous people of Biafra and Indigenous people of Oduduwa.
The IPOB global family condemns the unfortunate attack and killing of some purported Hausas travelling to the North for the salla celebration. We join others in asking for a proper investigation into the case. We caution the police from raiding and indiscriminate arrest which is the usual thing in the South.
As the tempos are high, the leaders from the North and South must advice their people not to take laws into their own hands. Nigeria security is at the fragile state. There is a serious ethnic mistrust in Nigeria and any ethnic spark may leave Nigeria in a very sorry state.
IPOB wants to exit Nigeria peacefully without shielding of innocent blood that’s why we have constantly asked that Nigeria be balkanized peacefully. Nigerians knows that Nigeria is an unworkable union forced to remain in a cage while fighting and killing themselves at the entertainment of the British colonialist and their political savages.
IPOB
IPOB commiserates with the families of those men who were attacked and killed by frustrated angry mobs in Edo State. We call for calm as authorities should carry out investigation and prosecution of the culprits.
Moreso, the innocent Northerners should avoid entering the bushes in the South for whatever reason in these current fragile security situations in Nigeria. If you want to hunt or fish please do that in the North.
Fulani terrorists and kidnappers have already created suspicion in the minds of every Southerner with their unrepentant terrorist and kidnapping activities.
The attack and the barbaric jungle justice of these Hausas is a regrettable one. We hope and pray that such actions should not repeat itself anywhere in Nigeria until Nigeria is dissolved peacefully.
There’s No Democracy In Nigeria, Peter Obi Explains Why
There’s no democracy in Nigeria, Peter Obi explain why and says “let’s stop telling ourselves lies”.
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections. Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, says Nigeria is not a democratic country.
Speaking on Tuesday during his appearance on Prime Time, a programme on Arise TV, Obi claimed that the standards for measuring democracy do not exist in Nigeria.
“I have said it, and I maintain that there is no democracy in Nigeria today,” Obi said.
“Nigeria today is not a democratic country. Let’s stop telling ourselves lies. If you look at all the tenets and yardsticks measuring democracy, it doesn’t exist here.
“Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Today, the government we have is not of the people.
“It is not by the people because the people didn’t vote. It wasn’t their votes. I’m not just talking about the presidency; it’s across the line. Look at what happened in Edo. Can you call that democracy?
“It is not the vote of the people. And it is not for the people. I have just told you that I went to an IDP camp where we have thousands of people. No primary health care.
“They were begging me to have one nurse, which I said I must make sure they have. They don’t even have a primary school, which again I have told them I will make sure it happens.”
Obi criticised the government for prioritising the wrong issues and neglecting social capital development.
“So, what are you doing for a country that just spent N21 billion to renovate the house for the vice-president who isn’t living there? And you cannot even have a primary school for kids who are going to be leaders of Nigeria tomorrow,” he said.
Peter Obi Explains Why
In March, Obi faulted President Bola Tinubu for declaring a state of emergency in Rivers and suspending Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state.
The former governor of Anambra said Nigeria’s democracy, which has been progressing since 1999, is now collapsing and being “knocked down” by Tinubu’s administration.

Reps Urged Tinubu To End Violent In Benue
Reps urged Tinubu to end violent in Benue. “I will engage with political stakeholders and security heads to ensure these atrocities come to an end. Our people deserve to live in peace,” the lawmaker said.
Blessing Onuh, representing Otukpo-Ohimini federal constituency in the House of Representatives, has urged President Bola Tinubu’s government to curb the escalating insecurity and incessant acts in Benue.
Speaking with journalists on Tuesday in Abuja, Ms Onuh, of the All Progressives Congress, lamented the incessant attacks in Otukpo in Benue, describing the situation as a “national emergency” that requires immediate attention.
She appealed to Mr Tinubu to direct security agencies to intensify efforts to apprehend the perpetrators, bring them justice, and restore peace to the affected communities.
“The violent in my constituency have reached an outrageous level in recent weeks. Every day we witness the senseless murder of innocent people and tragically, it is beginning to feel as though it is normal,” Ms Onuh said.
She claimed that people were being kidnapped repeatedly, yet nothing seemed to be happening to the perpetrators.
“Families mourn their dead, return home, and brace for the next attack by suspected herdsmen,” she added. Ms Onuh stated that a retired customs officer, Onche Akatu, was brutally murdered a day ago while two members of his family were kidnapped in Asa 2 community, Otukpo LGA.
“Should the dead man now rise to pay ransom for their release? My heart bleeds,” she lamented.
Ms Onuh also said a nursing mother, Felicia Ochigbo, was recently slaughtered in the Old NTA area of the Asa community, among several other violent in Benue communities.
“As I speak to you now, people are running away from their communities without even knowing if where they are going is even safe. Are these bandits above the law? Why is it so difficult to apprehend them and restore peace so that our people can sleep with their two eyes closed?” she stated.
The lawmaker also raised concerns that the fear of violence had forced many farmers to abandon their farmlands, adding that the development was worsening food shortages in the region.
Tinubu To End Violent In Benue
Ms Onuh advised the youths against jungle justice or reprisal attacks, emphasising that taking the law into their own hands would only escalate the crisis.
She assured her constituents of her commitment to working closely with political leaders and security agencies to end the heinous acts plaguing her constituency.
“I will engage with political stakeholders and security heads to ensure these atrocities come to an end. Our people deserve to live in peace,” the lawmaker said.
