Biafra: Respect your old age – BNYL warns Lai Mohammed over comments on IPOB

Biafra Nations Youth League, BNYL, has cautioned Minister of information, Lai Mohammed, over his comments that IPOB is dead.

The group warned that such declaration could lead to provocation in the South East and South South regions.

Mohammed had told newsmen that “the large turnout witnessed during the election has sounded the death knell on IPOB.

“I think what that proved really is that IPOB does not represent the good people of Anambra or any state in the South East.

“If truly they represented the people, the IPOB propaganda about the election really showed that they are not on ground.”

Reacting, BNYL Leader, Princewill Obuka, said “That old man does not know how determined the Biafrans are. He saw what happened during military raid.”

“Such resistance should have told them that Biafrans, if armed, would really consume Nigeria like Kanu was saying.

“He should respect his old age and turn attention to Boko Haram and Shiites”.

However, the group added that its ongoing grassroots engagements have been extended to various parts of Cross River.

“We have engaged mostly community youth leaders and even some community leaders in towns like Obudu, Bekwara, Ikom, and almost all the towns in Bakassi including ceded areas.

“What we have not done within the Cross River axis is meeting the paramount rulers but plans are on ground.

“In Rivers State we are organising a similar internal grassroots referendum programs in Ekpeye land of Ahoada East like we did in some towns in Akwa Ibom on the day we all stormed Onna to mark the death of our late leader, General Philip Effiong”.

Obuka added that the group is not inciting violence at the grassroots but detailing the people on progress of the Biafra struggle.

“We are doing what is expected of us. Our people have every right to know what is going on outside the grassroots.

“In places like Obanliku and Boki, there is poor network and people are anxious to know what is going on. We receive distress calls and complaints everyday from that part.

“We owe our people explanations, and much more engagements, which is why we initiated the internal referendum activities. In fact, many have built confidence on us and going back on Biafra independence pursuit will be difficult for us”.

President of Iran Declares End of ISIS

President Hassan Rouhani of Iran on Tuesday declared the end of Islamic State in an address broadcast live on state TV. A senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Maj.-Gen. Qassem Soleimani, also declared the end of Islamic State in a message sent to the country’s supreme leader Tuesday which was published on Sepah News, the news site of the Guards. Videos and pictures of Soleimani, who commands the Quds Force, the branch of the Guards responsible for operations outside of Iran’s borders, at frontline positions in battles against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria have been posted frequently by Iranian media in recent years. On Friday, Iranian media published pictures of Soleimani Kamal in eastern Syria, a town which Soleimani said Tuesday was the last territory retaken from Islamic State control in the region. The Revolutionary Guards, Iran’s most powerful military force which also oversees an economic empire worth billions of dollars, has been fighting in support of S...

Tech How Alibaba turned an obscure, made-up Chinese holiday into a $17.8 billion shopping extravaganza that's bigger than Black Friday

Alibaba raked in over $8 billion in sales in the first hour of its made-up marketing holiday, "Singles Day." Singles Day has its roots in an obscure Chinese holiday for students who had not married yet. Alibaba CEO Jack Ma capitalized expertly on the holiday, and now, Singles Day dwarfs traditional American shopping holidays like Black Friday, and is much larger than Amazon's "Prime Day." Alibaba turned Singles Day, the Chinese holiday for the single-set, into a huge economic opportunity through a savvy marketing blitz. The company raked in well over $8 billion during the first hour of this year's sale, largely through its online shopping platforms, Taobao.com and Tmall.com as well as a glitzy gala. Students at Nanjing University first celebrated Singles Day in 1993 as an appreciation of, you guessed it — being single. They picked November 11 (11/11) as an ode to the loneliness of the number one. But Single’s Day was never meant to be a somber aff...

Odemwingie apologises after holler Kanu Nwankwo’s wife

Popular footballer, Osaze Odemwingie has tendered a public apology to Kanu Nwankwo’s family after calling out his wife, Amara Kanu. Osaze had had an outburst on social when he called out Kanu Nwankwo’s wife for disturbing him with chats which he found disturbing. According to Odemwingie, he misread meanings to the messages of wanting to talk to him. In a lengthy post, the retired Nigerian footballer appealed to the Nwankwo’s family while sharing the two snapshots below. “Picture two shows where my relationship with my Big bro @kingkanu4 was just few months ago. I was misunderstood, acted out of anger or reading too much into the greetings. I am on same page with Gods people who think the type of liberty they talking about is not good for the world. We can do things innocently and wear cloths with signs and symbols we don’t understand but indirectly representing them. PRESS BROUGHT A DIFFERENT NARRATIVE INTO THE MATTER BUT MAYBE DOWN TO LACK OF CLARITY OF WHAT UPSET ME. I ME...
