JUST IN!!! Buhari’s Lies Against Kanu Exposed by Human Rights Coalition (Must Read) PHOTOS



PARIS, JANUARY 26, 2016: (DGW) – Contrary to claims by President Muhammadu Buhari that the detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu travelled to Nigeria from the United Kingdom without any international passport, a coalition of Human Rights Organizations has  launched an  in-depth investigation into the accusation made by the president and findings have indeed shown that President Muhammadu Buhari lied.

The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafran leader, Nnamdi Kanu has dual citizenship and could not have got on board any aircraft to Africa or the country of his nativity without a valid international passport.


Below is the Press Release made available to  OUR CORRESPONDENCE by the Southeast Based Coalition of Human Rights Organizations:

(ONITSHA, NIGERIA, JANUARY 26, 2016)-It is the authoritative information of the Southeast Based Coalition of Human Rights Organizations (SBCHROs); comprising International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety), Anambra State Branch of the Civil Liberties Organization (CLO), Center for Human Rights & Peace Advocacy (CHRPA), Human Rights Club (a project of LRRDC)(HRC), Forum for Justice, Equity & Defense of Human Rights (FJEDHR), Society Advocacy Watch Project (SPAW), Anambra Human Rights Forum (AHRF), Southeast Good Governance Forum (SGGF), International Solidarity for Peace & Human Rights Initiative (ITERSOLIDARITY), Street Law Africa (LawAfrica) and Igbo Ekunie Initiative (pan Igbo rights advocacy group) that detained Citizen Nnamdi Kanu had never returned to Nigeria or traveled to other parts of the world including his second home-State of the United Kingdom without following and applying legitimate diplomatic processes and procedures.

Specifically, he did not return to Nigeria via Lagos, Southwest Nigeria in October 2015 without international passport of Nigerian origin. By convention or treatise (international law), which is applicable in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, Citizen Nnamdi Kanu is a member of international, Nigerian and UK citizenship. Also by the provisions of Chapter Three of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, Citizen Nnamdi Kanu is a citizen of Nigeria by birth or parenthood and by the provisions of the relevant laws of the UK; he is also a UK citizen by birth or naturalization. Generally, in the eyes of international law, he is a dual national of UK and Nigeria.

Further, by relevant treaties of the European Union and the ECOWAS, Citizen Nnamdi Kanu can enter, leave, stay or live in any member-State of EU or ECOWAS; provided he has UK (EU) or ECOWAS (Nigerian) passport. Citizen Nnamdi Kanu as an international citizen of UK and Nigeria backgrounds is entitled to and has two international passports of UK and Nigerian citizenship and they are fully and steadily used when he is traveling out of Nigeria to UK or coming to Nigeria from UK. Traditionally and specifically in Citizen Nnamdi Kanu’s case; visa is not required of him when he is leaving UK to Nigeria with Nigerian Passport or when he is traveling to UK from Nigeria with UK Passport. By law, Citizen Nnamdi Kanu is mandated to show his Nigerian Passport to UK immigration officials at any UK international airport enroute Nigeria and to Nigerian immigration officials on arrival at any Nigerian international airport; likewise using and showing his UK Passport to immigration officials when traveling to UK from Nigeria.

By law, Citizen Nnamdi Kanu is under no legal or moral obligation whatsoever to show or surrender all or either of his two international passports to anybody including the DSS operatives in his hotel room. His right to privacy and protection of his property including his two international passports is sacrosanct and unquestionable. Production of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu’s international passport (s) can only be ordered by a court of competent records. Neither President Muhammadu Buhari nor his DSS operatives has any legal or moral power or authority to coerce Citizen Nnamdi Kanu into showing or surrendering his international passport(s) under the guise of arrest or investigation; except by personal volition of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu. This is more so when Citizen Kanu’s violent arrest was carried out hours, if not days after he had returned to Nigeria and checked into a hotel.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s assertion on 30th December 2015 that “are you aware that that man called Kanu holds two UK and Nigerian citizenship and entered into Nigeria without a passport”, is nothing but a clear case of “presidential ignorance and falsehood derived from unprofessional and falsified intelligence reports”. The falsehood is today compounded further and transformed into “investigative perjury”to the extent that the Federal Ministry of Justice had adopted it as its main ground of counter affidavit and opposition to the application filed by Citizen Nnamdi Kanu’s defense lawyers before an Abuja Division of the Federal High Court. The Federal Government’s claim that “Kanu had admitted (to them) that he is a British citizen and that he sneaked into the country”, and that “there is the possibility of him sneaking out if admitted to bail”; is fallacious, vexatious, unfounded, spurious, intimidating, insulting, coercing, magisterial and totally untrue.

Why Citizen Kanu Should Be Granted Humanitarian Bail: Today marks 102 days since Citizen Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and detained by DSS on 14th October 2015 without conditional or unconditional release. In the history of democracy in Nigeria, no citizen except Citizen Nnamdi Kanu had been arrested and detained for 90 days without trial or release on pretrial bail. There is a difference between a suspect-citizen detained on orders of a court of competent records while undergoing trial and a merely accused citizen detained in long pretrial captivity without pretrial bail release or trial. That is to say that Citizen Nnamdi Kanu is the first and only citizen arrested and detained for over 90 days without trial or pretrial bail or unconditional release under the present 1999 Constitution or since the 1999 Constitution came into force in 1999. Citizen Kanu is also the first citizen to be detained under the same Constitution in gross breach of its Section 35 (4) (a) (b) by being detained for over 60 days without trial or released on bail. Four consequential court orders associated with his right to personal liberty including bail and unconditional releases were flouted by DSS and President Buhari with reckless abandon.

This is also the first time in the history of criminal justice administration under Nigeria’s democratic pluralism whereby pretrial case files of accused citizens are recklessly duplicated and leaked to media before judicial arraignment and trial of the accused citizens. The stark case in point is the case file of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu & ors, which has been made hazardous and recklessly polluted by DSS and its hired hostile media outfits. Information contained in the case file including the accused citizens’ confessional statements are also strongly believed to have been tempered with and doctored or manipulated. To the extent that the case file of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu & ors, who are merely accused persons yet to be put on trial or convicted; is duplicated by DSS investigators and handed over to hostile media elements for purpose of spreading falsehood and propaganda; requires urgent judicial attention, notice and intervention.

It is on these grounds that we call on Hon Justice James Tsoho of Court Three Division of the Federal High Court in Abuja, to courageously grant Citizen Nnamdi Kanu and ors humanitarian bail on Friday January 29, 2016 during his much awaited ruling on their bail application. Though by virtue of Sections 158 and 162 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act of 2015, accusations of treasonable felony and unlawful possession of firearms leveled against them are bailable; but it is our considered opinion that Citizen Nnamdi Kanu in particular has brazenly been denied the Constitutional protection, rights and remedies; having being held in manner and circumstances frowned at by the Constitution. By humanitarian judicial bail; we mean a bail condition accorded to a prisoner of conscience facing State persecution for expressing his political thoughts without use or advocating of violence. Suchhumanitarian bail condition(s) include self recognition, liberty inviolate undertaking from UK High Commission or judicial deposition of his UK and Nigerian Passports. We also call for the speedy and fair trial and of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu and ors.

BOMBSHELL! We’ll Massacre Everyone in N. Delta as OBJ did – PMB’s Associate, Rtd Col. Hassan

BOMBSHELL! We’ll Massacre Everyone in N. Delta as Obasanjo Did in Odi – Buhari’s Associate, Rtd Col. Hassan (Video)

President Muhammadu Buhari’s friend and stalwart of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Col. Hassan Stanislous-Labo has called for a military invasion of the Niger Delta communities where pipelines were vandalised a few weeks ago.

Colonel Hassan, as he is popularly referred to, made this call on Channels Television, Monday, January 25, 2015 where he said that the Nigerian Army should invade the communities in Delta State and massacre the people of the communities as the military did to the community of Odi during the President Olusegun Obasanjo regime. According to him, “the communities that refuse to produce the militants should be levelled”.

The military invaded the community of Odi in Bayelsa State in 2006 and murdered at least 2,500unarmed civilians. Every building in the village was burnt down by the rampaging troops except an Anglican Church and the community health centre.

In 2013, a Federal High Court ordered the Federal Government of Nigeria to pay N37 billion damages to the residents of Odi for the act of genocide perpetrated by the Nigerian Army.
In the disturbing segment, the retired military colonel dismissed the Channels TV anchor who reminded him that a genocide was an abuse of human rights.

Stanislous-Labo is a leading media surrogate of the Buhari government who has set an agenda for the APC-led federal government. He is president and chief executive of Hakes Group.

BREAKING!!! Blood Flows in Rivers as Police, Navy Clash (See How Many People That Got Shot)

BREAKING!!! Blood Flows in Rivers as Police, Navy Clash  (See How Many People That Got Shot)

One person was injured on Tuesday when a group of Mobile policemen from MOPOL 19 clashed with some operatives of the Nigerian Navy in Port Harcourt.

The incident, which took place at about 6:20pm around Mummy B axis of GRA in the Rivers State capital, caused commotion as motorists scampered for safety.

It was gathered that a vehicle carrying a group of Navy operatives was held up in a gridlock along the ever-busy Mummy B road near the GRA junction.

Not satisfied with the development, some naval ratings were said to have alighted from the vehicle and moved to the point where they met a group of Mobile policemen controlling the traffic.

An eyewitness said the Mobile policemen had told the Navy operatives not to worry because they (Mobile policemen) were already on the ground to clear the gridlock on the road.

“Surprisingly, an argument ensued between both of them and one Mobile policeman, who was in mufti, fired teargas and in the confusion one Navy operative was shot.

“There was blood everywhere around that point. But I believe the person that was shot must have been rushed to the hospital,” the source, who did not want his name mentioned, said.

Ahmad said in a text message to our correspondent that there was no casualty during the clash.
“It has been resolved. No casualty at all,” the text message read.

Also contacted, the Public Relations Officer, Nigerian Navy Ship Pathfinder, Lt.-Cdr. Hammad Ahmed, said he was still being briefed on the matter and promised to speak as soon as he had the full details.

When contacted the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, confirmed the incident, but added that the matter had been resolved.

NSE composite value wiped off $10bn in 6 months and still falling.
The NSE has witnessed nearly 50% loss since may 29, 2015.

Have you asked who is dumping shares and in return who is mopping them up?

 

Most of the shares being dumped come from foriegn investors who see the economy as a train heading for disaster and most of those buying them are northerners. As the foreign investors dump their shares it creates a ripple effect leading to most southerners dumping theirs which makes the shares cheaper for adamus to buy into.


As for the naira, the strict rules in place are just hogwash since the black marketers who are mainly northerners still have back door access to dollars from the CBN.

This move is meant to cripple southern business and in turn make the northerners control the forex market.
When I say sense is not part of the south una go begin curse una father.

Let us give a round of applause to all the omowalabis who voted chain and bondage.

Biafrans Keep Dream of Independence Alive as Nigeria Clamps down on Peaceful Protesters – BBC

Biafrans Keep Dream of Independence Alive as Nigeria Clamps down on Peaceful Protesters – BBC

In a quiet, dusty and fairly secluded corner of Enugu city, south-eastern Nigeria, a group of men unfurled a homemade flag and then sang.

“Biafra will live forever. Nothing will stop us,” was the gist of their anthem in the Igbo language.
They were not exactly belting it out and instead of hoisting the flag up a pole, it was tied to a metal gate. But there is good reason for discretion – in the eyes of the authorities the gathering is illegal.

On 5 November, 100 men and women were arrested as they marched peacefully through the city’s streets after raising the Biafran flag.

They were all imprisoned and accused of treason but then released when the charges were dropped. It appears the government is determined to ensure any agitation for secession is not allowed to gather momentum.

Forty-two years after the end of the devastating civil war in which government troops fought and defeated Biafran secessionists, the dream of independence has not completely died.

“No amount of threats or arrests will stop us from pursuing our freedom – self-determination for Biafrans,” said Edeson Samuel, national chairman of the Biafran Zionist Movement (BZM).

Image captionIgwe Anthony Ojukwu says the Igbo people feared being wiped out

“We were forced into this unholy marriage but we don’t have the same culture as the northerners. Our religion and culture are quite different from the northerners,” he told the BBC.

he group broke away from the better-known Movement For The Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (Massob).

The 1967-70 civil war threatened to tear apart the young Nigerian nation. Ethnic tensions were high in the mid 1960s. The military had seized power and economic hardship was biting.

With the perception that they were pushing to dominate all sectors of society – from business to the civil service – and while they were prominent in the military, the Igbo people were attacked.

Thousands were killed, especially during the clashes between northerners, who are mostly Muslim, and Igbos. To save their lives, Igbos fled en masse back “home” to the east.

“People used to meet fuel tanker drivers who allowed them to hide inside the tankers – some survived that way,” remembers Igwe Anthony Ojukwu, the traditional ruler of Ogui Nike in Enugu State.

“As we were licking our wounds… it dawned on us that we could not just stay at home as they would come and fight us and that would mean… extinction,” he said, adding that this prompted the move to declare Biafra independent.

Image captionThose who surrendered were issued with cards saying “defunct Biafra”

Today on the streets of Enugu you can hear songs about the war. Booming out from a stall selling CDs and DVDs I heard a song praising the late Chief Emeka Ojukwu – the man who raised the Biafran flag in 1967 and was the leader of the breakaway nation that existed for 31 troubled months.

“It was very terrifying. In the market place you hear a bang and you find limbs flying, people lying dead and others running helter-skelter,” said war veteran Chief Nduka Eya, recalling the aerial bombardment by the Nigerian forces.

At his home he showed me the small card he was given after the Biafrans surrendered. It reads: “Clearance certificate for members of armed forces of defunct Biafra.”

“Naturally when you lose a war it can be very depressing but what can you do? We took it. But history shows Biafra is defunct out of surrender,” said Chief Nduka Eya who is now the secretary general of Ohaneze Ndigbo, an umbrella group representing Igbos around the world.

In the bottom right-hand corner of the card is Olusegun Obasanjo’s signature. The man who later became the president of Nigeria played a major role in the civil war, fighting on the federal government side.

If you think education is expensive try ignorance. Ignorance is a very damaging disease. Our boys and girls need to know what actually happened

Chief Nduka Eya

Although no-one knows the true number, more than one million people died in the war – some from the fighting but many more from the resulting famine in the east.

In an effort to repair the bruised nation, the Nigerian head of state General Yakubu Gowan spoke of “No Victor, No Vanquished” and also promoted a policy of Reconciliation, Reconstruction and Rehabilitation.

‘Willing to fight’

But to this day, many Igbos complain that they were punished economically after the war and still speak of being marginalised. The fact that no Nigerian president has come from the east is a source of much rancour.
The prospect of an independent Igboland now seems impossible, especially as secessionists would want the area’s lucrative oil fields.

While those publicly clamouring for independence are a very small minority, it is not hard to find young people who feel they would be better off as a separate nation. This ought to be of great concern to the government of Nigeria.

“If this present government does not have the solution for us upcoming youth here, I’d rather the nation breaks,” said one young man playing football in Enugu near a statue referred to as “The Unknown Soldier” holding a gun aloft.

“We are willing to fight for our rights. Without sacrifice there will be nothing like freedom. We have to pay the price if we want independence and we are ready to do that again,” he added.

“Islams (sic) don’t want the east to rule the country and our opportunities and rights are denied so we are better off as an independent Biafra sovereign nation. Nothing is impossible,” another man in his 20s added.

Biafran War 1967-1970

• 1960: Nigeria gains independence from the UK
• 1967: South-eastern portion of Nigeria secedes as Republic of Biafra on 30 May
• Biafra dominated by Igbo ethnic group
• Home to much of Nigeria’s oil
• Nigerian army blockades Biafra and more than a million people die through famine, disease and fighting
• 1970: Biafran government surrenders

The renowned Nigerian author Chinua Achebe recently released his memoirs of the war entitled “There Was a Country.” The book includes an insight into what life was like for his family fleeing the city of Lagos and heading east.

His account has angered some – especially non-Igbos – and has caused a stir in the Nigerian media as well as on the internet where there are plenty of reminders that ethnic divisions still run deep.

Towards the end of his book Achebe asks: “Why has the war not been discussed, or taught to the young, over 40 years after its end?

“Are we perpetually doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past because we are too stubborn to learn from them?”

Today Nigeria faces massive security challenges – top of the list being the Islamist insurgency in the north that many Nigerians believe is being fuelled by politicians.

Many would argue that some of the root causes of the civil war were also triggers of the rebellion in the north as well as the militancy in the Niger Delta.

“Three words – injustice, inequality and unfair play,” says Chief Nduka Eya who, like Achebe, believes it is essential for young Nigerians to learn about the war.

“If you think education is expensive try ignorance,” he says.

“Ignorance is a very damaging disease. Our boys and girls need to know what actually happened. ‘Why did my father go to war?’ Someone in the north will ask: ‘Why did we go to fight them?'”

Image caption A new beer called “Hero” with a rising sun on the label echoes Biafran nationalist sentiment

Sitting on his throne and holding his ox tail staff of office, Igwe Anthony Ojukwu calls for the war to be studied in schools.

“The experience of Biafra should be shared so that people outside Biafra will know when they are cheated and when they should start to fight for their own destiny,” says the traditional ruler.

“The risk of not studying Biafra is that we will continue to subdue the subdueables no matter how justified they are in their demands. We will continue to live a life where the stronger animal kills the other,” he says, although he stresses that he is against further efforts to secede.

“I think it is important that Nigeria stays together. Those who are singing for disintegration are doing so for selfish ends.”

Forty-two years after the war, a beer has just been launched in eastern Nigeria. The choice of name, “Hero”, and the logo on the bottle of a rising sun similar to the one on the Biafran flag were no accident.

These days “Bring me a Hero” is a popular call in the bars of Enugu where people have not entirely given up on the dream of raising a glass to “independence”.

AKWA IBOM GUBER – Nsit Ubium: Dilemma of Ambitions

AKWA IBOM GUBER – Nsit Ubium: Dilemma of Ambitions        

By: Otobong Sampson

This piece is written in the worst case scenario. Politically, it seems the land of Nsit Ubium is in a quandary. The people have to decide between the speakership of Onofiok Luke and the governorship hopes of Umana Umana. They will have to choose between the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressive Congress. On this, party will be a non-factor. Antecedent will be everything, the sole determinant. It is a tough, yet, an easy decision. It is a choice between prospectively profitable investment and a risky venture. It is an option between certified leadership and unsafe gamble. It is a decision that may span the plains of Nsit Ubium…a judgement all Akwa Ibom people must serve as jury. Choices are free but nobody is free from the aftermaths of choice.
Robert Frost the poet in “The Road Not Taken,” wrote:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;…

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Nsit Ubium, are u a land that inter great ambitions? Sam Edem, Effiong Bob….how they fell to “brotherly” envy and sacrificed on the stake of the narrow ambition of a kinsman remains ponderable. Is it Onofiok’s turn, and still for the same deviant and schlock governorship ambition? Genuine ambitions are not fueled by schizotypal obsession. They are driven by structural needs of the people and the configurational patterns of society. Umana Umana’s ambition today, remains ill-intentioned, ill-timed and suspicious, just as it was at the outset. On a moral scale, the main turn-off of UOU’s guber jamboree is the many futile attempts by the man himself and his subalterns to deodorize him from whatever stench they claim characterized the Akpabio years. If that era was sleazy, the incidental born-again was a sleaze-in-chief while he lasted as SSG. If the PDP is filled with crooks today, the APC governorship candidate ranked top in PDP’s hierarchy of crooks before the pages were flipped. It is only a moral irritant that would demonize a platform that offered him a regrettable privilege to emerge Akwa Ibom’s most notorious billion-man…too questionable that the “probe” word should ever form part of his speech, public or private.
 For Akwa Ibom governorship options, it is dangerous error to think Umana as a lesser evil. Even so, Baltasar Gracian, in “The Art of Worldly Wisdom,” offers a cautionary advice that we should “never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it”. Though yet to become the main boss, Umana lived an inebriated tyrant as government secretary. He brooked no press criticism even when it was factual. He struck with his fangs and unleashed his pangs. Today in the middle of a stormy electoral excursion, he pretends he is the people’s man. But he can’t be better than a benevolent dictator. And he will run an imperial democracy in the end.
As I drove, approaching the roundabout that also links Barracks road that afternoon, I witnessed a throng of people filled Ibom Plaza, others, in groups of varying numbers were also swarming towards the congregation. It was only after I got close that I noticed the speaker’s official car. I didn’t have the patience so I went my way. Minutes later, details of that event flooded the social media space. I have read criticisms of that event with some being wholly abusive without being sensible. But most ridiculous is a video, clearly a desperate afterthought, arranged by the APC media organ where a cluster of about a dozen persons were enticed to speak against the beautiful event of that day. Onofiok’s abrupt trip to another section of the street that day caused dazing and unsettling effects in the opposition camp. It was another masterstroke from the genius himself. He penetrated with ease where was generally perceived to be the den of opposition, freed them from the mental shackles of deception elongated by free readership of printed falsehood; he came out triumphant. That thirsty multitude, like Charlotte Bronte echoed, I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.
A hundred “arrangee” anti-Onofiok videos can’t neutralize the dripping effects of that visit. The APC media arm should gather a voluntary crowd of same staggering proportion and let the people who cheerfully received the speaker, also reject him. Else, there’s no other acceptable way to discredit him. Onofiok is winning. His distinctive trademarks, street cred and generosity, are shields against the arrows of mindless propaganda. He is the one formidable rock in the governing party that must be crushed if the opposition is to succeed in its morbid aims. If the APC governorship candidate had not erected a Berlin Wall and installed Iron Curtains to separate himself from the people while he laid drunk in the corridor of power, he wouldn’t solely depend on immoral skullduggeries to sell his ambition. The speaker is everything good that the opposition wish their man was. UOU does what Onofiok did; just that he does it at his utmost convenience. That is the difference. And such is not the hallmark of a leader. For this group, indeed, politics have no relation to morals.
In his private jet, he flew in;
Flaunting a sparkle of his illicit goldmine
An oppressor garbed in saintly garment
Mocking us, yet acting as our man

Under the blazing sun they converged
Hypnotized by his filthy cents
Enchanted by his impossible promises
With probe his manifesto, yet so unclean he is.

Isn’t it funny how we hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office? The APC isn’t necessarily filled with crooks but most crooks are found in APC. The speaker appears ready to absorb more barbs. He’s got no option. That’s the price of uncompromising leadership.
