EDUCATION

During one of my National Broadcasts of January 2022, I informed Biafrans that the DOS will be creating a new department in IPOB namely the EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. The imperativeness of this very department at this moment in our struggle cannot be over emphasized knowing that part of the plan of the enemies of our people is to stripe us of what makes us who we are. We have seen some governors in Biafraland failing in their responsibility to provide true education for our children and the result is the decadence morally, intellectually and socially that has become the norm amongst our school children. To exacerbate this decadence and destroy the true fabric that unites us as a people, the Nigerian government now wants to outlaw our language from being the medium of education for our children. The Indigenous People of Biafra shall resist this evil plan with every sinew in our body. 

The IPOB department of Education shall have the primary responsibility to ensure that our children are educated in our mother tongue and this means every of the indigenous languages in Biafraland, that our children are taught our history, our values, our worldview, our spirituality and our tradition and culture. This area is one among many areas in which our intellectuals and the academia will make great impact with their knowledge. We therefore ask you to make your intellect available for the benefit of our people.

AGRICULTURE

Also, during my National Broadcast of January 2023, I informed our people that the food security of the Biafran people is a national security issue for the Biafran people. Any nation that allows itself to depend on foreigners to supply its food has basically handed its destiny into the hands of such foreigners to do as they please. It is this reality that propelled the leadership of IPOB the DOS to initiate in 2023 the Biafran agricultural revolution. We need the input of our intellectuals to guarantee both our self-sufficiency in food production as well as to safe guard our national security.

We are glad to announce to you fellow Biafrans that, that Agricultural revolution initiated by the leadership of this very movement the Directorate of State has taken root in our land and is a resounding success. Nevertheless, it is not yet UHURU because we are not yet where we want our land to be in terms of being self sufficient in food production. There are certain areas such as Animal Husbandry that our people must intensify effort to catch up with the progress made in crops production. We MUST also intensify efforts to ensure that every fruit trees known in our land are restored for our unborn generations. To this effect I call upon our people to desist forthwith from cutting down any fruit tree in our land. Where it becomes unavoidable to cut any fruit tree, such tree that will be cut MUST be replanted at least in two different places. Our wellbeing as a people is in the Nature that surrounds us. Governors and politicians should stop entrenching laziness in the psych of our people through giving them 5kg of rice during festive and electioneering periods. Follow the initiative of the DOS and make NON GMO seeds, crops and seedlings available to our people. 

In ensuring that we as a people are self sufficient in food production, to guarantee our food and National Security, we must as a matter of survival abstain from bringing into our land any GMO based crops. The promoters of the spread of GMO crops in Africa are those who have the sole aim of destroying the fabric of our existence.

SECURITY

Securing our land, our people and our borders is not just the responsibility of the Eastern Security Network, it is incumbent upon all of us and a duty for all of us to secure our land. True the ESN is our defense shield established to protect Biafraland and the Biafran people. This outfit are a crop of disciplined Biafran Men and Women who are trained on their core duty of safeguarding Biafran farmlands and forests against invading Fulani Herdsmen, and Fulani Terrorist. It is due to their commitment that our farmland and forests are safe, which in turn has helped in the success of the IPOB initiated agricultural revolution. It is due to their efforts that Biafraland experience peace during the festive periods. As you make your merriment and pop your champagne, as you enjoy with and in the mist of your family and loved ones, do not forget to those men and women in our forests guarding and protecting our frontiers and do not forget to offer Oji Igbo the ancestors of our land.

The protection of our land and of our people against Fulani Herdsmen, and Fulani Terrorist is a duty that must be carried out by the ESN with all sense of responsibility, dedication and commitment. These brave men and women having denied themselves all forms of comfort and have devoted their lives for the good and wellbeing of each and every one of us. The least that we as a people can do to encourage and motivate them is to support their work.

The Eastern Security Network is a child of necessity that came into being five (5) years ago. When we remember Nimbo, and Uzo Uwani massacres by the fulani Herdsmen, when we remember Aba High School massacre, The Nkpor massacre and the Onitsha Bridgehead massacre to mention just a few, where our people were killed in their numbers in peace time, and without any provocation whatsoever, those who called themselves political leaders could neither protect the lives of our people nor prevent subsequent massacre of innocent Biafran youths. The International community in its usual hypocrisy, saw nothing and heard nothing. The Biafran people came to the sad realization that their own safety and security lay squarely on their shoulders hence the birth of the ESN in December of 2020. The brave men and women of the ESN have been maligned, abused, cajoled and even betrayed by the same people for whose protection the outfit was established. 

Having understood the strategic position of the ESN, the Nigeria government activated a campaign of calumny to blackmail and discredit the name ESN through proxies they established for that sole purpose in Biafraland. Sadly, but very unfortunate, those who should know better have allowed themselves to be used to parrot the Nigerian government propaganda and push their agenda to turn our people against the only security outfit of volunteers under oath to protect our land and its people. Let me state without any equivocation that no operative of the ESN will get involved in any form of criminal activity in Biafraland not to talk of engaging in the kidnapping and murder of those for whom they are under oath to protect. These brave men and women must be supported not vilified, they must be encouraged not demoralised and they must be protected by every Biafran as their own (Nkea bu Nkeanyi) and not joining Nigeria to destroy it.

In time past, the leadership of the Indigenous people of Biafra advised Biafrans to refrain from joining the Nigerian army for their own good. When we gave this advice, some of our people either genuinely or mischievously failed to innerstand the rationale behind such advice. The Nigerian army as presently constituted is a fantastically compromised outfit. This institution deliberately creates infiltrators amongst its rank and file by its policy of absorbing what they called repentant Boko Haram terrorists into the army. These so called repentant terrorists whose jihadist ideology has neither been reformed nor changed and whose loyalty remained with their terror group became the eyes and ears of these terrorist organisations by revealing operational details of the army to their fellow terrorist. This is the reason no day passes without army operatives being ambushed and military outposts being overrun by these terrorist. This is also the reason why when Christian communities in the plateau area, Benue, Adamawa, southern Kaduna and Bauchi plains etc are attacked by Fulani terrorists the army will never intervene until the killing spree of the Christian villagers is over and when they the army eventually arrive, they turn their weapons against the victims. How then can we allow our youths to join an institution that does not give a hoot about their lives? Those who ignored our advice unfortunately and sadly did not live to tell their story. We maintain our advice to the Biafran youths to avoid the Nigerian army like a plague that guarantees an untimely death.

The hand of the political elites in Biafraland is not only soiled with the blood of their people, they are actually covered above their heads with the blood of our people. The governors of the Eastern Region with special emphasis on Anambra and Imo state have set up killing squads in the name of AWKUZU SARS and TIGER BASE, EBUBE AGU, ANAMBRA VIGILANTE, NDI AKAODO and others to execute the agenda of the Nigerian establishment. Our land has become destination centre for body organs of all types. They have so desecrated our land in such a manner as never seen before. Chukwuma Soludo and Hope Uzodinma’s atrocities in our land is beyond mind boggling. The justice of Aja Ani will not spare them and their likes. TIGER BASE is the base of a special killing squared brought into Imo state by Hope Uzodinma to harvest the organs of our youths. When the hotel and the building where the bodies of our people are dismembered, Hope Uzodinma was quick to order the demolition of the so called mortuary a CRIME SCENE where mutilated bodies were found in their numbers and a mass burial of the victims of his evil handwork against our people. Who does that I ask. These are the people who will shamelessly call themselves our leaders. While David Umahi, Chukwuma Soludo, Hope Uzodinma and their fellow politicians are busy using their police in tiger base, the Army on our roads and the vigilante in our communities and murdering our youths, the fulani have concluded plans to invade our land through the Ebonyi axis. 

The ESN must be properly equipped to confront what is coming. We have no apologies to anyone for desiring to defend our land and people because the fulani terrorists will not stop until they are stopped and we shall stop their match into our land. Permit me to repeat Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s advice to the Biafran people. If you refuse to equip these men and women who have volunteered themselves to protect you and the terrorist attack us and invade our land, we shall withdraw the ESN and allow the fulani a free ride into Biafraland so that we will learn to listen and harken to the voice of our ancestors.
