Special Taskforce for The Release Of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Writes President Tinubu

The Special Task Force for the release of detained leader of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB, Mr Mnamdi KANU has written President Bola Tinubu on the need for political solution to release the secessionist leader.

 

In a letter to President Tinubu the Special Task Force stated that






“Before the Court appearance of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on 19th March, 2024, most of the Ndi Igbo opinion leaders were optimistic that he would be discharged and acquitted by the Court on that day. 

 

"The disappointment of the unmet expectations led to the spontaneous constitution of this “Taskforce For the Release Of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.” The members of the Taskforce are:

 

"The Chairman of Southeast Traditional Rulers Council and Chairman of the Taskforce, Igwe Lawrence Agubuzu OFR (Chairman); Archbishop of Methodist Church, Umuahia, Diocese,  His Grace, Raphael Opoko (Co-Chair); Eze Akajiofor Ndi Igbo and  Traditional Ruler of Enugwu-Aguleri,  Eze Chukwuemeka Eri (Co-Chair); Archbishop of Anglican Communion, Owerri Province, His Grace, Sunday Onuoha;  Chairman Ndi Eze Igbo of  19 Northern Stares, Eze Dr. Uche Egenti; Eze Igbo Maitama, Abuja, Eze David Kingston Okey-Dede; Igwe Obatobie 1 of Abuja, 

Justice Binta Nyako vs Nnamdi Kanu vs IPOB

 

 

Rev Obinna Akukwe cautions those Urchins in IPOB who are hellbent on tarnishing the image of Justice Binta Nyako that they are the very reasons Nnamdi Kanu has not been given bail.

All the smear campaign against Justice Binta Nyako are meant to forestall all attempts to either release Nnamdi Kanu or give him a robust trial.

It is attempt by those milking Ndigbo dry 


using the name of Nnamdi Kanu to continue with their criminal activities.

 

Once Justice Nyako recuses herself from the case, what guarantee does IPOB have that the replacement will be sympathetic to them.

 

IPOB’S mudslinging tactics has expired. They used it on Muhammadu Buhari, it failed. They used it on Bola Tinubu, it failled. they used it on billionaires EMEKA Offor, Arthur Eze, Andy Uba Senators Ifeanyi Uba and Orji Uzor Kalu, Governors Chukwuma Soludo, Peter Mba, Hope Uzodimma it failed.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has been Begging Fulani for Reconciliation

 

The issue of Ohanaeze Ndigbo discussing with the Fulani and begging for the 1966 coup massacre has lingered for a while .

 Chief Iwuanyanwu just inherited the begging idea . Full stop

 The two men in the voice note Dr Hartford Ugwu and Prof Obasi Igwe are well known to me. Rev Obinna Akukwe can clarify that Dr Harford Ugwu runs Destiny Lineage Trace reconciliation body in Igboland involved in reconciliation, breaking curses while Professor Obasi Igwe is an emeritus of political science at UNN , and a confidant of Biafra leader, Odumegwu Ojukwu. I recall Ojukwu asking me on two occasions in the past whether as ex- students union leader, I knew Dr Obasi Igwe in UNN.



Ohanaeze has always been run by either the NEC, General Assembly, Elders Council or the inner caucus made up of trusted allies and aides of the President General. Iwuanyanwu runs Ohanaeze through NEC and inner caucus and the President General invited Dr Harford Ugwu to the Enugu meeting to do a presentation to Ohanaeze on begging, reconciliation and curses. Dr Harford whose reconciliation effort have brought peace to some communities in Igboland is also the Publicity Secretary of United Igbo Elders Forum.

 Eventually, another informed Igbo scholar, Dr Dominic Okechukwu , instead, did a presentational on reconciliation which Ohanaeze commended at the said meeting.

NIN-SIM Linkage Catastrophe and the Coming Revolution in Nigeria

 

Written by Obinna Akukwe

 

The continuous and forceful herding of Nigerians like Fulani Cows and goats, to register umpteenth time for the same National Identity number NIN under different administration and under grueling conditions, without adequate infrastructure and planning, is a catastrophe and will add fire to the revolution coming to Nigeria.

Nigerians were told to register for NIN under the Shagari era, then under Buhari twice, in 1984 as Head of State and 2019 as Civilian President.  Under Obasanjo regime, Nigerians were forced to register for NIN yet there is no Identity card to show for it after hundreds of millions of dollars was wasted.  During Jonathan Presidency from 2010-2015, Nigerians were herded again to register, only to be told by Buhari’s Minister Pantami that the one done under Jonathan was not complete.


Thus the exercise has been a cesspools of wastage of national resources, wastage of human hours spent in endless queues for an exercise which the operators have not even prepared in advance for the magnitude of stages  in the process, including the all important data protection.

I will not approach this piece as a Financial or IT Consultant, because it will expose lots of technical issues and financial mismanagement of procedures, processes and persons, rather, I will limit it to the endless cycles of endless commands to Nigerian cows to queue up and register, endless times, over a service, the banks or telecoms operators would have been seamlessly involves, either as ancillary or outsourcing service.

Tinubu has Charged Military Chiefs on Free Polls in Bayelsa, Imo, Kogi-Igbo Mandate Congress asks electorates to vote wisely


 

Igbo Mandate Congress wishes to notify its officers, operatives , members and supporters that from its numerous intelligence gathering mechanisms, always, impeccable, President Bola Tinubu has ordered security agencies to ensure that the 2023 November 11 off season elections  are free and fair.

Igbo Mandate Congress has received multiple confirmations from sources within Defense Headquarters that President Tinubu gave the charge before departing for the Saudi Arabia-Summit on Wednesday.

Igbo Mandate Congress also received multiple confirmations from presidency sources that though President Tinubu wants his party men vis Timipre Sylva, Hope Uzodimma and Ododo to win in their respective states, however, he is not disposed towards any form of electoral malfeasance capable of truncating the wishes of the people.




Igbo Mandate Congress also noted that the Defense Headquarters have charged their theatre Commanders within the affected jurisdiction on neutrality. In response to that a Navy Commander in Kogi state by name Nicholas Uchendu Akalieze and 10 other naval personnel for fingered as working for a particular candidate have been arrested and recalled to Abuja.

The Police High Command have also redeployed the embattled Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Barde  to Abuja and redeployed about ten Commissioners of Police to monitor Imo polls.

IMC believes that these and other measures are part of responses to President Tinubu’s directive that security agencies should maintain neutrality.

Release Kidnapped Major General Duru-Igbo Mandate Congress Tells IPOB

 

Igbo Mandate Congress, first with credible Intelligence in the South East,  do hereby asks the factional and splinter groups of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB whose agents and privies kidnapped Retired Major General Duru since Septmber and have not released him yet.

Major General Duru, member of the 33rd regular course of the Nigerian Army was kidnapped after insider information from moles led his captors to pursue and get him while driving in his jeep

Those who kidnapped Duru are members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra. They have links with the group who kidnapped and murdered Master Warrant Officer AM Linus with his Igbo fiancĂ© Private G I Matthew. They also have links with the people who kidnapped  a female soldier, Lieutenant  P P Johnson, on the 26th of December, 2922,  raped her, and later beheaded her and sacrificed her to a certain god that will bring Biafra.

 



Major General Duru is one of the persons who have been advocating for a non-kinetic approach to resoling the secessionist threat in the South East. He, with other Generals of South East extraction, is among the biggest advocates of using dialogue to treat the secessionist threat in Nigeria.

 

The reward the IPOB Urchins gave is to kidnap him with the intention of embarrassing both the Nigerian Army and Governor Uzodimma of Imo State for whatever reasons.

Moniepoint FINTECH Criminals in Nigeria


Written by Obinna Akukwe

 

Moniepoint  is  one of the Microfiance Banks in Nigeria authorized to deal with digital online financial exchange and transfer services  in Nigeria but they are gradually, just like their other counterparts, turning into criminal organization.

Moniepoint as a Fintech body existed before the introduction of the  politically motivated cashless policy in Nigeria. Then this organization which started in 2015 as aback end service provider to banks, had increased volumes of transactions, which I was told , could reach $ 200 billion dollars in transaction volume annually. 


While Nigerians groaned under the ill-timed and ill-fated CBN Cashless policy, Fintech bodies like Moniepoint, Opay, Smartcash etc came to the rescue and saved people from endless wait at banks to collect their hard earned money.

The bank transfer services in the banking system was overloaded, and Moniepoint smiled to the bank with their own share of the transfer charges.and other services. Many pharmacies, super stores and markets used Moniepoint for ease of payment.

However, it is obvious that in Nigeria, everything started with good intention will be used by agents of darkness to defraud people of their earnings.
