IPOB’s Nnamdi Kanu Calls Aba The Spiritual Land Of Biafra, Says Anyone Who Tries To Arrest Him Will Die
Radio Biafra Director, IPOB Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has dared the federal government over attempts to re-arrest him, vowing that anyone who attempts to arrest him would be crushed.
Kanu stated this on Sunday at Boys Technical College (BTC) located along Fau lks road in Aba North Local Government of Abia State where members of IPOB Faulks road Zone I and over 20, 000 supporters of the group received him.
The IPOB leader who described Aba as the “Spiritual Land of Biafra”, said that he was not going to go on exile, urging his supporters and those who believed in the Biafra course to be strong and resolute.
He also used the opportunity to reiterate that there won’t be election in Anambra in November or any part of “Biafra Land” even in 2019 unless there was a date for referendum which the group has been clamouring for.
Kanu who paid tribute to those reportedly killed at National High School Aba by security agencies in his words said “Here we are, is Biafra Land. Aba is the spiritual capital of Biafra land. We started in Aba in 2015 at CKC (Christ the King Catholic Cathedral). That day, heaven authenticated our move that IPOB will restore Biafra and that’s what we’ve come to do. We died in Aba; At National High School.
“They shot and killed us in other places in Biafra land when they were protesting for my release. As our people rest in the grave, we’ll never rest until Biafra is restored. I don’t care what they say in Abuja. I don’t give a damn what they say in Lagos.
“I’m a Biafran and we are going to crumble the zoo. Some idiots who are not educated said that they’ll arrest me, and I ask them to come. I’m in Biafra land. If any of them leaves Biafra land alive know that this is not IPOB. Tell them that’s what I said.
“Tell buhari that I’m in Aba and any person who comes to arrest Nnamdi Kanu in Biafra land will die here. I’ll never go on exile I assure you.
“Some people talk about restructuring, are we doing restructuring of Nigeria now? Are we doing fiscal federalism? Are we doing devolution? What we want is Biafra!
“Forget all the nonsense they write about us. We are not slowing down and no man born of a woman can stop us. They thought we are joking and God gave us a simple message that no one can stop us. The movement to restore Biafra is unstoppable.
“God sent me to you, Aba people and I am giving you His message. Our veterans here, your own message is that you’ll see Biafra alive not in death.
“The message of heaven is what I bring to you. Don’t be afraid. The plans of our enemies are not going to be actualized. The enemies are planning, but we are formidable.
“We are going to boycott Anambra State election. After Anambra 2017, in 2019, there’ll be no elections in Biafra land. Signed and sealed. My message is that there ‘ll not be election in Biafra land ever again until they give us date for referendum.”
Some of IPOB members who spoke to reporters at the venue said that they defied going to church to come and listen to their leader and a man that God has destined to use to liberate the people of the southeast and old eastern region from the hands of corrupt and insensitive leaders who have over the years decided to impoverish than make life meaningful for their subjects.
They however vowed to join hands with Kanu to ensure that Biafra was realized no matter how long it would take.

Very **** at @ tk u are the illiterate. Who wants your yeye family support. Secession movement occurs everywhere, even in Britain,czechoslovakia, etc. Nigeria should carry out a referendum, what are they scared of? Biafra should go if they wish after all, we were all dragged into Nigeria without our consent. We are even the ones bearing the burden of Nigeria ( those in the Niger Delta region) we want to leave this God forsaken Nigeria too. Ride on Kanu. A man of the time indeed

ADHERENCE TO THIS BOYCOTT CALL IS the most effective way to tell Nigeria that Biafra is a serious business. It is doubtless that some people would still come out to vote. And my wish is that IPOB would not try to resist or attack them. If a far greater majority is able to boycott this guber poll, and if a mere handful votes was cast on that day, the court would have no option than to declare the polls as invalid.

I do not understand how some of you business-craving igbo people reason. Must the agitation for actualizing Biafra republic be violent? Why are you guys still been hunted by the past civil war of 1960s? Have you ever seen any of this men that made up the BIAFRA movement with firearm unlike Ojuwku in the time past who led the eastern region into a bloody civil war with the Nigerian government that claimed millions of lives. There is a stark different with the mode of IPOB agitation today which largely remained peaceful and oppose to violent compare to Ojukwu-led war in the 60s. So why should you guys find fault with there peaceful movement? Under international law,Nnamdi Kanu has not overstep his boundary for fighting for justice and sel-determination for politically and economically marginalized Igbo people. Only those who know this right will not condemn this learned guy. So stop been hateful and myopic in your view toward Kanu and rather look at things critically and see reasons for his peaceful agitation.

When someone is ill-adviced, undecerning and without perception then, you’ll see him or her making thoughtless comment like that of TK. Do you know that with each passing day you are being robbed of your right to basic necessities of life by your corrupt Nigerian government? A poor man or woman selling AKARA and AKAMU will be forced to pay tax while the reason for the collection of the tax is not been felt by him or her. Billions of naira is regularly been allocated to each state from the federal pulse but embezzled in the long run with no credible justice system to hold anyone accountable. Corruption is hitting a record high in a level never seen before in Nigerian history. The government seem to be incapacitated and lacking the legal ability to try those who have carted away the money that belong to you and I. In the face of this great injustice that has wrecked havoc in the lives of the poor masses in Nigeria, we now have a highly comfortable british/Nigerian citizen who is fearless and has proved overtime that he’s an indomitable political activist, championing a peaceful movement with the intent of breaking and setting Nigerians free from decades of enslavement and corruption perpetrated by some few political thieves in power and people like you is still blindly condemning him? The earlier you realize the country you’re in the better for you. IPOB as we have seen in recent years is the only movement in Nigeria that has shaking Nigeria government to there kneel without a single weapon. And we hope there unabated agitation for secession will help to readjust the Nigerian political structure so our greedy politicians can start performing there mandate in connection with the economically deprived masses of the country and if not ,the struggle for Biafran republic will continue until it is fully actualised.

Sorry people, I’m Igbo or even a Nigerian but a West African. Why don’t the Nigerian Government conduct a Referendum on Igbo Land separation? If the people of Nigerian vote ‘yes’, separate Nigeria and leave these Igbo People alone. Give unto Cesar what belongs to Caesar for the sake of peace in the entire region.
