Protecting Our Daughters: The Urgent Need to Teach Morals in the Age of Social Media

   Protecting Our Daughters: The Urgent Need to Teach Morals in the Age of Social Media

In today’s digital age, social media has become a powerful force shaping culture, behavior, and perceptions. While it offers opportunities for connection and creativity, it also presents significant challenges, particularly for young girls growing up in a world flooded with questionable content. As a society, we must recognize the dangers posed by the decline in decency and morals on social media platforms and take proactive steps to protect our daughters. If you have a baby girl, start teaching her morals at a tender age and help her understand the risks of social media. The behaviors we’re witnessing online, especially from some grown women, are far from encouraging, and without intervention, they could have a lasting impact on the next generation.

The current state of social media is alarming. Too often, we see content that prioritizes attention over integrity, with individuals many of whom are role models by default engaging in shameless behavior for the sake of likes, views, or viral fame.

 The absence of decency is striking. Grown adults, who should know better, seem to have abandoned shame, disregarding how their actions reflect on themselves, their families, or their communities. One can’t help but wonder, don’t these individuals have village people, family members, business associates, or street friends who hold them to a higher standard? Even when creating content, is it too much to ask for a baseline of respect for oneself, for one’s children, and for the general public?

This erosion of values is not just a personal failing, it’s a societal crisis. Our society is becoming something else a place where shame and decency are increasingly rare. The consequences of this shift are profound, especially for young girls who are impressionable and vulnerable to the influences they encounter online. Social media is a double edged sword, it can inspire and educate, but it can also normalize behaviors that undermine self-respect and moral integrity. If we fail to protect our daughters, they risk internalizing these negative examples, believing that shamelessness is a path to success or acceptance.

Parents have a critical role to play in countering this trend. From a young age, girls must be taught the importance of morals, values like self-respect, dignity, and empathy. These lessons should be coupled with conversations about the dangers of social media, where curated personas often mask reality and promote harmful ideals. Teaching media literacy is equally vital, equipping girls to critically evaluate the content they consume and recognize the difference between authentic self-expression and performative excess. By instilling these principles early, parents can help their daughters navigate the digital world with confidence and integrity.

The responsibility doesn’t end with parents. Society as a whole must reflect on the example we’re setting. It’s disheartening to see some parents themselves contributing to the problem, seemingly unconcerned about the legacy they’re leaving for their children. When adults prioritize fleeting online fame over decency, they not only diminish themselves but also fail their families and communities. We must ask ourselves, what kind of world are we creating for the next generation? If we allow shamelessness to become the norm, we risk raising a generation that values attention over character.

This is not to say that social media is inherently bad. It can be a platform for empowerment, education, and positive change. However, the current trend of prioritizing Immorality and ugly eyesore behavior by supposed mothers over substance demands our attention. We must do everything possible to protect our daughters from the dangers of unchecked social media influence. This means fostering environments, both at home and in our communities where morals are celebrated, and decency is non-negotiable. It means holding ourselves and others accountable for the content we create and consume. And it means modeling the behavior we want our children to emulate.

The stakes are high. The girl child is watching, learning, and forming her sense of self in a world where social media amplifies both the best and worst of human behavior. Let’s commit to guiding her toward a path of integrity, teaching her that true worth lies not in viral moments but in the values she upholds. As parents, as communities, as a society, we must act now to protect our daughters and preserve the moral fabric of our world. The future depends on it.

The Perils of Undermining IPOB's Directorate of State: A Threat to Nnamdi Kanu's Case and the Broader Biafra Struggle

The Perils of Undermining IPOB's Directorate of State: A Threat to Nnamdi Kanu's Case and the Broader Biafra Struggle

In the heart of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement lies a structure designed for resilience and unity: The Directorate of State (DOS). This decentralized body serves as the operational nerve center, coordinating global communications, intelligence, and enforcement of the IPOB's non-violent push for Biafran self-determination. Established under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB's founder and leader, the DOS functions like a distributed network ensuring no single point of failure can dismantle the organization. 

 Yet, recent internal frictions, external infiltrations, and deliberate sabotage efforts have raised alarms about the dangers of weakening this vital organ. Such erosion not only jeopardizes the integrity of IPOB but also casts long shadows over Kanu's ongoing legal battle and the overarching quest for Biafran independence.

Understanding the DOS: The Backbone of IPOB's Resilience. The DOS is more than an administrative arm; it is the guardian of IPOB's ideological purity and operational discipline. Comprising principal officers who oversee radio broadcasts via Radio Biafra, diaspora coordination, and enforcement of directives like the IPOB peaceful rally, Catalonia events and others.  The DOS embodies Kanu's vision of a leaderless, impenetrable movement. Its decentralized nature makes it "too hard for the Nigerian government to hack," as one activist aptly described, allowing it to withstand arrests, proscriptions, and smear campaigns. 

 This structure has enabled IPOB to grow into a global force, with millions of supporters across Europe, the Americas, and Africa, all unified under the banner of legitimate quest for Self-determination.

However, weakening the DOS through internal betrayals, disinformation, or resource diversion poses existential risks. Historical precedents abound: movements like the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force crumbled under similar pressures, infiltrated and fragmented by state actors. For IPOB, the DOS's strength is non-negotiable, diluting it invites chaos, as seen in the rise of groups and individuals that have target members of DOS and tarnished the movement's peaceful image.

Sabotage from Within and Without the Nigerian Department of State Services (DSS) has long viewed the DOS as a formidable adversary, investing millions in covert operations to dismantle it. Recent alerts from IPOB insiders highlight a surge in assassination plots targeting DOS members, including the Abia State Coordinator, amid frustrations over failed infiltrations. The systematic target of Mazi Chinasa Nworu member of DOS is a covert operation from Nigerian intelligence service. 

 In November 2024, the DOS issued a stark warning about the DSS's "IPW" (IPOB Political Wing) ploy a fabricated entity designed to lure members into Nigerian politics and sow doubt about IPOB's commitment to independence. 

 This tactic echoes past failures, such as the recruitment of figures like Simon Ekpa, whose Finland based faction promoted violence, leading to his arrest and further division.

Internally, the dangers are equally insidious. Reports of principal officers turning public offices into personal fiefdoms disconnecting lines, forging letters, and blocking verifications for asylum seekers have embarrassed the movement and alienated supporters. 

 Such misconduct, often fueled by opportunists exploiting IPOB's structure for personal gain, has led to a spike in petitions and fallout, mirroring the government's strategy of "divide and conquer." Activists like Chinasa Nworu have decried how these "fools" risk lives by prioritizing deceit over duty, potentially handing ammunition to Nigerian authorities. 

External critics, including some Biafran sympathizers, argue that IPOB's enforcement tactics have already caused economic setbacks in the Southeast, displacing families and fostering anarchy. 

 A weakened DOS exacerbates this, as uncoordinated actions could devolve into the very violence IPOB disavows, providing Nigeria with pretexts for crackdowns.

Implications for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's Case

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's detention since his 2021 extraordinary rendition from Kenya remains a flashpoint in international human rights discourse. Charged with treasonable felony, Kanu has maintained that IPOB's activities are protected under free speech and self-determination rights, as recognized by the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. The DOS plays a pivotal role here, issuing statements that reinforce Kanu's narrative of a non-violent struggle and countering government propaganda.

Weakening the DOS could fatally undermine Kanu's defense. Courts in Nigeria, often accused of bias against IPOB, rely on evidence of organizational structure to assess culpability. If internal chaos portrays IPOB as fragmented or violent echoing Ekpa's unauthorized actions, it bolsters the prosecution's claim that Kanu leads a terrorist outfit, despite the group's proscription being ruled unlawful by the ECOWAS Court in 2018 (a ruling Nigeria has ignored). A disjointed DOS might fail to mobilize global advocacy, such as petitions to the UN or ICC, which have kept Kanu's case in the spotlight. As one observer noted, the absence of a strong DOS risks turning IPOB into "a toothless bulldog," leaving Kanu isolated and his release a key demand of the Biafra struggle further out of reach. 

Moreover, in a September 2025 statement, the DOS reiterated its dismissal of links to Ekpa, emphasizing peaceful self-determination amid foreign backed subjugation. 

 Any perceived weakness could embolden Nigeria to prolong Kanu's trial indefinitely, using it as leverage to suppress Biafran activism.

The IPOB led Biafra struggle seeks a referendum to restore the sovereignty lost in the 1967-1970 civil war, where over 3 million Biafran lives were lost. A robust DOS ensures disciplined mobilization, from Italy, Germany, Australia etc showcasing thousands of unified supporters. Weakening DOS invites fragmentation, as splinter groups vie for dominance, turning the focus inward and diluting the independence agenda. 

Economically, a destabilized DOS could accelerate the Southeast's decline, with critics already blaming IPOB for lost progress post-genocide. 

 Politically, it plays into Nigeria's hands, justifying militarization and eroding international sympathy. Despite four years of massive spending to destroy IPOB through infiltrators like Ekpa and blackmail the movement endures, proving its resilience. 

The dangers of weakening the IPOB DOS are clear: it invites infiltration, division, and defeat, with direct fallout for Nnamdi Kanu's freedom and Biafra's aspirations. Stakeholders must prioritize transparency, ethical training, and unity to safeguard this decentralized powerhouse. As the DOS itself urges, Biafrans must remain "vigilant and focused," rejecting provocations that could unravel decades of sacrifice. 

 In a struggle defined by endurance, a strong DOS isn't just strategic it's the lifeline to victory.

Ejiofor Calls for Tighter Bar Admission Standards to Uphold Legal Profession's Integrity

   Ejiofor Calls for Tighter Bar Admission Standards to Uphold Legal Profession's Integrity

Human rights lawyer Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, KSC, has called on the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and the Council of Legal Education (CLE) to strengthen oversight and disciplinary mechanisms in order to preserve the integrity of the legal profession.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Ejiofor stressed that admission to the Bar should reflect both academic competence and sound character. He warned that weakening those standards risks undermining public confidence in the profession and the justice system.

Ejiofor said he has observed instances of conduct among some practitioners that fall short of professional expectations and noted the increase in petitions before the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC). He urged relevant bodies to review and, where necessary, tighten procedures used to assess aspirants and to enforce existing codes of conduct.

“The task of producing competent and disciplined lawyers must never be compromised,” he said, adding that both academic excellence and integrity are essential for those admitted to legal practice.

Ejiofor recommended that the NBA, CLE and other stakeholders reassert their regulatory roles, reinforce training and ethical standards during professional education, and ensure disciplinary processes are effective and transparent. He said restoring rigorous application of the “fit and proper” standard will help protect the profession’s reputation and serve future generations of lawyers.

IPOB's X Space Sunday Program: Amplifying Biafran Self-Determination Amid Government Repression and Internal Challenges

  IPOB's X Space Sunday Program: Amplifying Biafran Self-Determination Amid Government Repression and Internal Challenges

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has increasingly utilized digital platforms like X Spaces to advance its political and regional agenda, particularly through its Sunday programs focusing on political and regional affairs. These programs, often broadcast via Radio Biafra or hosted on X Spaces under accounts @radiobiafralive, serve as a critical tool for mobilizing supporters, disseminating information, and shaping public discourse on Biafran self-determination. 

Family Writers Press International will analyze the IPOB X Space Sunday program, specifically focusing on its content, objectives, and impact, with reference to the broader context of IPOB’s activities and the historical struggle for Biafran independence.

The IPOB X Space Sunday program on political and regional affairs is a regular virtual event designed to engage Biafran supporters, both in Nigeria and the diaspora, on issues related to self-determination, regional security, and political developments in southeast. These programs typically feature discussions led by IPOB X hosts, activists, or supporters, addressing current events, organizational strategies, and the ongoing detention of IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The programs are part of IPOB’s broader media strategy, which leverages platforms like Radio Biafra and X to bypass mainstream media censorship and reach a global audience.

A notable example of such a program was highlighted in a September 6, 2025, X post by @uyi_clement, announcing a live session on @radiobiafralive. The topics included distinguishing IPOB from Simon Ekpa, a controversial figure recently convicted in Finland on terrorism related charges, and encouraging Biafrans to invest in the Biafran region to bolster economic self-sufficiency. These topics reflect IPOB’s dual focus on clarifying its organizational identity and promoting regional development as part of its self-determination agenda.

Content and Themes

The Sunday programs typically cover a range of political and regional issues, including, clarification of IPOB’s Identity and Leadership.

IPOB uses these sessions to address internal divisions and external misrepresentations. For instance, the September 7, 2025, program aimed to differentiate IPOB from Simon Ekpa’s faction, which operates under the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE). Ekpa, was allegedly instructed by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to broadcast on Radio Biafra but he refused to sign IPOB broadcasting agreement which prompted DOS directorate of state to deny him access to Radio Biafra. DOS also distanced IPOB from Ekpa and he has since led a splinter group accused of violent activities. IPOB’s emphasis on distancing itself from Ekpa underscores its commitment to maintaining a nonviolent image, despite Nigerian government claims to the contrary.

The detention of Nnamdi Kanu since his 2021 extraordinary rendition from Kenya remains a central theme. IPOB frequently uses X Spaces to demand his release, highlighting judicial delays and alleged government persecution. For example, IPOB has condemned statements by Nigerian officials, such as National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, as assaults on justice and democracy. These programs rally supporters to sustain pressure on the Nigerian government and international bodies

IPOB encourages Biafrans to invest in the southeast to reduce dependence on Nigeria’s broader economy. This aligns with the IPOB’s vision of a self-sustaining Biafra, reflecting historical Igbo resilience during the Biafran War (1967–1970), when local ingenuity produced innovations like the Ogbunigwe explosive and manufacture its own oil.

The programs often criticize the Nigerian government’s policies, particularly those perceived as marginalizing the Biafran people. Discussions highlight issues like underrepresentation in federal appointments, lack of infrastructural development in the Biafra, and security operations targeting IPOB members. 

IPOB uses X Spaces to address security threats in the southeast, often accusing group like Ebubeagu and other state-backed militias of targeting IPOB members. 

The IPOB X Space Sunday program serves multiple strategic objectives. Mobilization and Unity, By engaging supporters weekly, IPOB reinforces its decentralized structure, particularly through the Directorate of State (DOS), which ensures continuity despite Kanu’s detention. The DOS, modeled on governance, empowers regional leaders to make decisions, making the movement resilient to external pressures.

The Nigerian government and the media often label IPOB as a terrorist organization, a designation nullified by a 2023 court ruling. X Spaces provide a platform to counter these narratives, as seen in IPOB’s rejection of links to violent acts attributed to Ekpa’s faction.

IPOB uses X Spaces to maintain global support. The platform’s accessibility allows Biafrans abroad to participate, reinforcing the movement’s international presence and fundraising efforts.

Advocacy for Self-Determination: The programs frame self-determination as a legitimate right, drawing on historical grievances from the Biafran War and post-war marginalization. IPOB’s call for a referendum echoes global self-determination movements, such as those in Catalonia, as noted in its congratulatory message to European allies

Historical Context and Connection to Self-Determination

The IPOB X Space Sunday program is rooted in the historical struggle for Biafran self-determination, which began with the 1967–1970 civil war. The war’s legacy marked by an estimated one to three million deaths, primarily from starvation continues to shape Biafran identity and grievances. Post-war policies, such as the indigenization decree and limited federal investment in the southeast, entrenched perceptions of marginalization. Ralph Uwazuruike’s MASSOB, founded in 1999, revived the Biafran cause through nonviolent agitation but faced repression and internal sabotage, allegedly by Igbo politicians.

Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB, established in 2012, learned from MASSOB’s challenges, adopting a decentralized structure through the DOS to prevent infiltration. The X Space programs reflect this evolution, using technology to bypass state-controlled media and maintain momentum despite Kanu’s detention. The emphasis on economic self-reliance and regional investment mirrors historical Biafra resilience, such as wartime innovations, and aligns with the Igbo principle of Igwebuike (community is strength).

X Spaces allow IPOB to reach a global audience, fostering solidarity among Biafrans and countering mainstream media narratives. Shaping Regional Discourse, addressing security and economic issues.

The Resurgence Of Pride: How IPOB Reignited Nationalistic Sentiments Among Biafrans Worldwide

     The Resurgence Of Pride: How IPOB Reignited Nationalistic Sentiments Among Biafrans Worldwide

In recent years, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have emerged as a powerful voice for self-determination in Nigeria and beyond. This movement, rooted in the historical struggles of the Biafran people, has successfully rekindled a passionate sense of national pride and collective identity among over 50 million Biafrans globally. As Biafrans navigate the complexities, struggle and deprivation in the British supermarket called Nigeria, over a decade, the IPOB’s impact on nationalistic consciousness marks a significant turning point in the discourse surrounding freedom, Self-determination identity and cultural heritage.

To understand the revitalized nationalistic sentiments among Biafrans, it is essential to reflect on the historical backdrop. The Biafran War of 1967-1970 was not just a conflict over territory; it was a desperate struggle for self-determination, human rights, and the preservation of the Biafran culture against the backdrop of systemic marginalization, deprivation and enslavement. The consequences of that genocide, along with decades of political neglect, have left an indelible mark on the collective memory of Biafrans. Resulting in the loss of both nationalistic and Self-preservative instincts among Biafran masses.

However, IPOB, led by a passionate, patriotic and charismatic leader in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has artfully harnessed this historical context to inspire a movement that resonates beyond the borders of Nigeria. Through social media, advocacy, grassroot engagements and a strong sense of community, IPOB has effectively reignited nationalistic fervor among Biafrans scattered across the globe.

The Role of Technology in Uniting Biafrans 

In today’s hyper-connected world, technology plays a crucial role in shaping movements. IPOB’s adept use of social media platforms has allowed for the rapid dissemination of information, enabling Biafrans to connect, share stories, and rally around a common cause, structure and leadership under IPOB. This digital landscape has fostered a global community, allowing individuals from diverse backgrounds to engage in discussions about their identity, history, and aspirations for the future.

Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp have become virtual town halls where Biafrans worldwide can share their experiences and perspectives. Through videos, podcasts, and online forums, the narrative of Biafra’s past and vision for the future is continually reinforced, energizing a new generation of BIAFRA ACTIVISTS and advocates who are committed to the cause of self-determination led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's leadership structure; DOS.

Nationalism as a Tool for Cultural Renaissance

The resurgence of nationalistic sentiment among Biafrans, driven by IPOB, extends beyond political aspirations. It serves as a catalyst for a cultural renaissance, instilling a sense of pride in Biafran heritage. From a shared quest to unite all Biafrans systematically balkanized by Nigerian government, to the promotion of traditional music, festivals and art by some government agencies to literature and language consciousness, there has been a renewed commitment to preserving and promoting everything Biafran culture.

IPOB encourages the celebration of cultural traditions, festivals, the production of Biafran literature, and the teaching of indigenous languages among younger generations. IPOB also encourages agricultural production amongst Biafran farmers to checkmate the rise of GMO foods and agro products across Nigeria. This cultural revitalization not only strengthens community ties but also serves to counteract the negative stereotypes and misrepresentations that often plagued Biafrans as marginalized people in Nigeria.

Challenges and the Way Forward

While IPOB has successfully reignited a firm nationalistic mentality, it is not without its challenges. The struggle for nonviolent self-determination is fraught with political opposition, state-sponsored blackmails, infiltration, provocations, legal battles, and economic hurdles. Moreover, the movement’s non-kinetic tactics exploited by state-sponsored provocateur groups have drawn criticism both domestically and internationally, complicating the public perception of its goals and methodologies.

Nevertheless, the unwavering spirit of the Biafran people to the laid down leadership structure of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB showcases a relentless drive for recognition and respect. It is essential to approach the quest for autonomy with strategic dialogue and diplomacy. Building alliances, fostering international awareness, and embracing peaceful advocacy will be crucial in navigating the intricate geopolitical landscape of Nigeria and the international community.

In conclusion, IPOB’s role in reigniting a nationalistic mentality among over 50 million Biafrans worldwide signifies a remarkable resilience and desire for identity reclamation despite challenges of different magnitudes. As the Biafran movement continues to evolve, it holds the potential not only to reshape the conversation around Biafran self-determination but also to inspire similar movements for cultural and political recognition around the world. Ultimately, the journey toward a self-aware and proud future for Biafra and the Biafran people will require unity, love for one’s heritage, and a commitment to peaceful engagement in the pursuit of the right to self determination.

In Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Nigerian Government and Her Enablers Meets Their Mate

   In Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Nigerian Government and Her Enablers Meets Their Mate

In the annals of freedom fighting in the British contraption, the Nigerian government has always had the upper hand. This is uniquely because they always play all the venomous cards in the colonial bag hung round their necks. It will be almost impossible for anyone walking the freedom terrain to achieve victory because of a plethora of conditions rooted in external interest watered by the United States of America through their proxy — the United Kingdom.

The UK has a way of bending people’s wills; anybody’s will. Interestingly, when it comes down to making Africans fall in line, the most potent elixir has always been the scrambling use of brutal local assistants. In case you have forgotten, as the superior firing power of den guns forced the Ekumeku warriors to withdraw into the shadows and retreat, the UK activated warrant chiefs. They quickly realized that Biafrans are originally egalitarian, republican, positively cocky and loathsome to oppression. Therefore, a direct interaction even if it will achieve the needed result would still be time consuming and energy sapping. A local renegade was practically inexcusable —the warrant chiefs.

The present day warrant chiefs can come in different ways, forms and means. They can be as a double agent lawyer, a CIA asset traditional ruler, a military officer or an economist trained in US or UK think-tank. A SANship or PhD-promised legal defense team member. It is the most lethal strategy used to liquidate every potential opposition to neocolonialism. Whether it was the Eastern region government of Michael Iheonukara Okpara or Ken Sarowiwa or Asari Dokubo, or Student Union government or #EndSars protest or Ralph Uwazurike, etc., the UK always found someone that would say something or do something to emotionally blackmail or outrightly convince the behind the bars leader that walking away is the righteous thing to do.

The emergence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the game changer. Nobody has held the abusers of the indigenous people of the British contraption to accountability, But Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is on the verge of collapsing the British business center called Nigeria. This is because he did something smartly in a way others before him did not have the mental acuity and genuity to implement. As a genius, he studied and figured that the Achilles heel of those that attempted before him was the creation of a central authority weaved around a personality and the tendency for family, friends and well wishers to influence organizational structure.

When Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said, “… this IPOB has a mind of her own, …”, not many people understood what he meant. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu knew that a day like this would come when the UK would scramble their foot soldiers, especially those that look and dress like him, and when they do, he would bank on an independently minded IPOB to navigate and overcome. That is why he made sure that the DOS is a decentralized body of free thinkers.

So, the enablers of Nigerian government have met their mate in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. They know that for as long as the DOS is not tarnished, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must walk free. This unsettles them.

IPOB: Only DOS Can Rescue Mazi Nnamdi Kanu From Ralph Uwazurike’s Nigerian Government Treatment

 IPOB: Only DOS Can Rescue Mazi Nnamdi Kanu From Ralph Uwazurike’s Nigerian Government Treatment

Ralph Uwazurike, for all one may think of him, was imperfect but courageous. It would take a courageous person to boldly start this phase of Biafra agitation from Lagos according to a verifiable and irrefutable comment he made. Hate him or like him, the choice is yours, but he was courageous from the sole of his feet to the strand of the hairs on his head. Despite all his shortcomings, one can see the burning desire to see the freedom of his people.

In as much as the mistakes he made were insufferable, perhaps it needs pointing out that he was mercilessly sabotaged and setup by those closest; the people he trusted most.

The roles played by Igbo political class, especially Senator Uche Chukwumerije, are as fresh on the mind as an early morning palm wine before dilution with water. The extraneous issues forcefully placed on his shoulder through infiltration and polarization of MASSOB by external interests using Nigerian government as a proxy, were inorganic and intentional. There was absolutely no reason that would warrant the indiscriminate killing of unarmed civilians waving a harmless flag at multiple locations or the emotional blackmail imposed on him by rented Igbo politicians acting concerned at his mother’s death, neither would the Nigerian government get away with such a crime if the claimants to “democratic” gatekeeping did not approve subtly.

The expectations were high and, for Biafrans, the sequence of events leading to the harrowing destruction of MASSOB by the Nigerian government and her foreign enablers were emotionally draining.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s meteoric rise was timely relieving as it was gap filling. Supposedly, he learned from the debacle of Ralph Uwazurike that the best way to form a freedom fighting organization was to make it difficult to tell the leader as everyone is a potential leader. The mistake that cost Uwazurike MASSOB was the necessity that helped Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to birth the DOS.

The DOS was fashioned to mirror the Igbo governance system. It has no central authority in the form of a person. The central authority is a group of persons. Hence, it is decentralized and open. It is the same as chosen an eldest from each family therefore, it is decentralized. The chosen is a delegated validator. In other words, the DOS is an ancient blockchain from the people of ancient — Ndigbo in particular and Biafrans in general.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has made it clear that he sends instructions through the DOS. He told his traducers that the IPOB DOS is responsible for the day to day decisions of the Indigenous People of Biafra. He said, “whatever the DOS says goes.” That is, if the DOS says jump, without question you will ask “how high?” The DOS is the passcode of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to freedom. It is what will secure and rescue Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The DOS is blameless and on that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu rests. That worries the enemy, hence the run from pillar to post.

Unveiling Nigeria's Covert Tactics: Polarizing IPOB to Undermine Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's Freedom

 Unveiling Nigeria's Covert Tactics: Polarizing IPOB to Undermine Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's Freedom

It is now making sense. Of all the co-accused of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Bright Chimezie, Chidiebere Onwudiwe and David Nwawuisi, it is Benjamin Madubugwu that is disruptive and meddlesome. For those critically observant with the knowledge of how the colonial empire operates, his subtly and slippery descent into chaotic manufacturing is not extraordinary. Every Intelligence Community classifies human interactions as though they are devices. There is always that USER INTERFACE (UI). The UI is the frontend. The IPO or the investigative officer will always assess you and file a report to a superior or supervisor who is a backend.

At the level of interfacing with you, the decision would have already been made on how to work on your psyche.  This operation is usually outside the legal framework and the subjects are either compromised beyond the current accusations or are proven to be ambitious or notorious for cutting deals and snitching. Such persons are capable of some level or measure of influence but underneath is their propensity to serve the prestigious government portfolio called double agent.

Most people that antagonize an established protocol or Command and Control of any self-determination movement with the flimsy excuse of trying to save a leader whose freedom of movement is a claustrophobic constraint from a kidnapping Nigerian government, incredulously do so with a cowardly argument that the leader is in danger from the organization he leads. That is a retard argument. Unfortunately, the media coverage and noise will not let people notice their lame argument rooted in their chaotic manufacturing.

In case you are oblivion of this fact, the Nigerian government, from the outset, already knew that if their initial infiltration strategy failed, their fallback option would be polarization. When that fails, they will find a detour to reinvent another infiltration strategy. Some celebrities, media warriors, content creators, legal representatives et al were initially sleeper cells telling you what you need to hear. Working on your emotions and building trust. It was only a matter of time before they were activated, became rebellious and go berserk.

The initial infiltration of autopilot terrorists and agent provocateurs failed, and so did the initial attempt to make certain people DOS members. With all that have been unveiled in the tortuous judicial proceeding spanning years, it is a compendium of evidence with a compass pointing to a freedom destination. The Nigerian government, as well as her extraneous enablers, cannot bear a stainless and mysterious DOS.

They need someone within, and since that is a tall dream, they need a polarized DOS. They do not want the DOS as it is. This is because the next option is a political dialogue and this DOS will accept such dialogue on one condition —the freedom of her member and the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The Nigerian government on the other hand needs a teleguided DOS. A DOS that will be handed a predetermined script. The role of the duplicitous voices is to create a polarization.

Let us see if the Mbaise meeting has what it takes to polarized IPOB DOS. Because the truth is that a compromised DOS is a necessity for jailing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Boko Haram’s Brutal House to House Attack in Borno State Claims Over 60 Lives

  Boko Haram’s Brutal House to House Attack in Borno State Claims Over 60 Lives

In a devastating assault that underscores the persistent threat of insurgency in Nigeria’s northeast, Boko Haram militants killed more than 60 people, including seven soldiers, in a nighttime raid on Darul Jamal, a village in Borno State. The attack, which occurred on Friday, September 5, 2025, targeted a community that had only recently been resettled after years of displacement, highlighting the fragility of efforts to restore normalcy in the region. The Nigerian military’s intensified counterinsurgency operations have so far failed to curb the escalating violence, according to residents and analysts.

The attack began around 8:30 p.m. when heavily armed Boko Haram fighters stormed Darul Jamal, near Banki in the Bama local government area, close to the Nigeria-Cameroon border. The militants moved house to house, shooting indiscriminately and setting homes ablaze, leaving a trail of destruction. Babagana Mala, a resident who fled to the nearby town of Bama, approximately 46 kilometers away, recounted the horror: “We had been warning the military for three days about Boko Haram gathering near our town, but no action was taken. They overwhelmed the soldiers, who fled with us to Bama.” Mala reported that 63 people were killed, including seven soldiers and several recently returned displaced persons.

The traditional head of Darul Jamal, speaking anonymously due to fear of reprisals, confirmed the grim toll, stating that 70 bodies had been recovered by Saturday morning, with more residents still missing in the surrounding bush. “They went house to house, killing men and leaving women behind. Almost every household is affected,” he said, his voice breaking with grief. The attack also destroyed over 20 homes and 10 buses, many belonging to laborers working on reconstruction efforts in the village.

Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum visited Darul Jamal on Saturday to assess the damage and console survivors, according to a security source. However, neither the police spokesperson, Nahum Kenneth Daso, nor Lieutenant Colonel Sani Uba, the military’s counterinsurgency campaign spokesperson, provided comments to Reuters on the incident. The Nigerian Air Force reported killing 30 militants in retaliatory strikes after receiving reports of the raid, but the scale of the attack has raised fresh concerns about the military’s ability to protect vulnerable communities.

Darul Jamal’s residents had returned just last month, encouraged by government efforts to resettle internally displaced persons (IDPs) after years of displacement caused by Boko Haram’s 15-year insurgency. Borno State, the epicenter of the conflict, has seen over 40,000 deaths and the displacement of more than two million people since 2009, when Boko Haram began its campaign to impose a radical interpretation of Islamic law. The group’s tactics, including suicide bombings, mass abductions, and village raids, have left a lasting humanitarian crisis in Nigeria’s northeast, spilling into neighboring Chad, Niger, and Cameroon.

Despite military claims of intensified operations against Boko Haram and its splinter group, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), analysts and residents argue that these efforts have failed to stem the tide of attacks. The assault on Darul Jamal follows a series of deadly raids in 2025, including an attack in May that killed 57 villagers in Baga and another in January that claimed 40 farmers near Lake Chad. Security experts point to the military’s overstretched resources, exacerbated by the withdrawal of regional forces from Niger and the redirection of troops to combat banditry in northwestern Nigeria, as key factors undermining counterinsurgency efforts.

Governor Zulum has repeatedly warned of Boko Haram’s resurgence, noting in April that the group was regaining ground in Borno, particularly in the Lake Chad region and Sambisa Forest. The use of advanced tactics, such as armed drones and improvised explosive devices, has further emboldened both Boko Haram and ISWAP, according to security analysts. The lack of response to residents’ warnings about the impending attack on Darul Jamal has fueled frustration, with many questioning the effectiveness of intelligence and military coordination.

The attack on Darul Jamal is a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by Boko Haram, even as Nigeria grapples with multiple security challenges, including banditry in the northwest and Biafra Self determination agitation in the southeast. in the southeast. For the residents of Darul Jamal, the dream of returning home has turned into a nightmare, with families mourning loved ones and survivors facing an uncertain future. As the Nigerian government and its security forces struggle to contain the insurgency, the people of Borno State continue to bear the brunt of a conflict that shows no signs of abating

Gunmen Attack Chinese Workers in Nigeria, Killing Eight Security Officials

   Gunmen Attack Chinese Workers in Nigeria, Killing Eight Security Officials

In a brazen assault that highlights Nigeria's escalating security challenges, gunmen ambushed a convoy of security personnel and foreign workers in southern Edo State, resulting in the deaths of eight security officials and the brief kidnapping of Chinese expatriates. The attack, which occurred on Friday, underscores the growing threat posed by armed criminal groups across the country, even in regions traditionally less affected by such violence.

According to Afolabi Babawale, spokesperson for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the incident unfolded when suspected armed kidnappers targeted a group of Chinese nationals employed by local firm BUA Cement. The convoy, which included NSCDC operatives providing protection, was traveling through Edo State when the assailants struck. "The gunmen opened fire on the convoy, leading to a fierce exchange," Babawale stated in a press release on Saturday.

The assault claimed the lives of eight NSCDC operatives, with four others sustaining serious injuries. Among the victims were the Chinese workers, four of whom were initially abducted by the attackers. Security forces mounted a swift response, successfully rescuing the kidnapped expatriates later that day. However, Babawale confirmed that one Chinese worker remains unaccounted for, prompting ongoing search efforts.

BUA Cement, one of Nigeria's leading industrial conglomerates, has been involved in several infrastructure projects in the region, often relying on expatriate expertise for technical operations. The company has not yet issued an official statement on the incident, but sources close to the firm expressed relief over the partial resolution while voicing concerns about the safety of foreign personnel.

Nigeria has been grappling with a wave of violent crimes in recent years, including banditry, insurgency, and kidnappings for ransom. While the majority of such attacks have been concentrated in the northern states—where groups like Boko Haram and armed bandits have terrorized communities—kidnapping gangs have increasingly extended their operations southward. Edo State, rich in oil resources and industrial activity, has seen a rise in abductions targeting high-value individuals, including expatriates whose employers are willing to pay substantial ransoms.

This latest episode adds to a troubling pattern. Just last month, similar incidents in neighboring states resulted in the abduction of dozens of locals and foreigners, prompting calls for enhanced security measures from both government and private sectors. Human rights organizations have criticized the Nigerian authorities for inadequate protection of vulnerable workers, particularly in remote or industrial areas.

The NSCDC, a paramilitary agency under the Ministry of Interior, plays a key role in safeguarding critical infrastructure and personnel. The loss of eight officers in a single attack has drawn widespread condemnation, with labor unions and industry leaders demanding a thorough investigation and improved training for security escorts.

As rescue operations continue for the missing worker, Nigerian security forces have vowed to intensify patrols in the area. President Bola Tinubu's administration has prioritized combating insecurity as a cornerstone of its agenda, but incidents like this serve as stark reminders of the challenges ahead. For now, the nation mourns the fallen operatives while hoping for a swift and safe resolution to the ongoing crisis.

IPOB Exposes AP's Role in Nigeria’s Plot to Defame Biafra Movement

   IPOB Exposes AP's Role in Nigeria’s Plot to Defame Biafra Movement

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) issued a statement condemning an Associated Press (AP) publication that allegedly links IPOB and its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to Simon Ekpa’s recent conviction in Finland. IPOB denies any connection to Ekpa, stating he is not a member and operates a separate organization, Autopilot Government In Exile. They accuse AP and other media of participating in a coordinated disinformation campaign, led by the UK and Nigeria, to tarnish IPOB’s image and influence Kanu’s ongoing trial in Abuja. IPOB asserts its legitimacy as a global self-determination movement, legally recognized in over 60 countries, and criticizes Nigeria for labeling it a terrorist organization despite international laws supporting indigenous rights. They urge the public and media to resist spreading false narratives and vow to counter such efforts with evidence and truth.

The statement read: 

RE: COORDINATED DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN by AP AGAINST IPOB AND MAZI NNAMDI Kanu-IPOB

The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been drawn to yet another vile and malicious publication—this time from the Associated Press (AP)—deliberately seeking to manipulate global perception by falsely linking IPOB and our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to the recent conviction of Simon Ekpa in Finland.

This deliberate distortion is part of the coordinated worldwide campaign spearheaded by the United Kingdom in aid of Nigeria to demonise IPOB, launder the battered image of a genocidal Nigerian state, and condition the international community to ignore the ongoing judicial fraud in Abuja against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Let the record be set straight:

Simon Ekpa is not, and has never been, a member or leader of IPOB.

This fact is not speculative and should sink into the skull of these merchants of falsehood—it is on court record. IPOB, through due legal process, has repeatedly disowned Simon Ekpa in Nigerian courts and in foreign jurisdictions. Any attempt to force a link between IPOB and his personal actions in order to influence Hon. Justice James Omotosho come 10th of October, is wicked, dishonest, and mischievous.

IPOB is a lawful, global self-determination movement.

IPOB is present in over 100 countries and territories across the world. It is a legally recognised and registered entity in more than 60 countries, operating openly and transparently. No other nation on earth regards IPOB as a terrorist organisation except confused and frankly demented  Janjaweed irridentists and their desperate Southern power-hungry sidekicks. Only Nigeria, out of the entire comity of nations, persists in its futile attempt to stigmatise Biafra’s legitimate self-determination struggle—despite Nigerian laws (African Charter) recognising the rights of Indigenous peoples (Biafra) to agitate for self-determination.

Finnish court records speak for themselves.

The conviction of Simon Ekpa is personal to him and does not, in any way, implicate IPOB because he formed his own organisation called Autopilot Government In Exile. Yet, desperate media outlets like AP deliberately twist facts to suit their sponsors’ narrative. The dishonesty is transparent to anyone who bothers to check official records.

Global media and tech giants are on trial too.

If international media and platforms continue to employ or rely on Nigerians—who by nature of Nigeria’s broken system are corrupt and amenable to bribes—to file reports about IPOB, then the world should expect fraudulent interpretations of the truth. These compromised voices are not reporting—they are laundering Nigeria’s lies for quick cash.

The hypocrisy is glaring.

A Canadian court has already ruled that Nigeria’s ruling and opposition parties (APC and PDP) are terror organisations. Yet the Associated Press and their collaborators did not trumpet that ruling globally. But when it comes to IPOB—clean, peaceful, and law-abiding—they spare no effort in attempting to smear our name by association.

The narrative engineering is clear.

Just as Wikipedia was manipulated in June 2021 to pave the way for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s abduction in Kenya, we are again witnessing a fresh round of media disinformation, timed to coincide with the critical stage of Kanu’s trial before Justice James Omotosho in Abuja. This is not journalism. It is psychological warfare.

The public should therefore be on high alert. The ongoing effort to stain the squeaky-clean image of IPOB is not about facts—it is about silencing a lawful self-determination struggle and sustaining Nigeria’s military occupation of Biafra land.

We call on responsible journalists and media houses worldwide to resist being used as instruments of imperial disinformation. IPOB will continue to expose these merchants of lies and defend our movement with truth and evidence. The statement concluded.
