Biafra: IPOB disowns South-East governors, elders, Ohanaeze

From Emmanuel Uzor, Abakaliki
Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) has disowned the
South-East Governors’ Forum, elders and Ohanaeze over
their alleged role in the agitation for the release of the
Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
Mr. Emma Powerful, leader of the group said this in a
statement on the heels of a warning from Anthony Nwoko,
an Enugu-based prophet to President Muhammdu Buhari
to desist from truncating the actualisation of a Biafra
state.
Powerful said IPOB rejected South-East Governors’ Forum
and Ohanaeze stance on the continued incarceration of
Kanu and warned the groups to desist from sabotaging the
efforts of IPOB.
He described the groups as “disappointments to Ndigbo
and Biafrans in general,” adding: “They can only be talking
about an unconditional release of Kanu and not try to stop
Biafra peaceful protests,
“We will not stop until our leader is released
unconditionally. Those claiming they are representing
IPOB should desist from it because we don’t know them.
Those calling only Igbo should know that Igbo is a
language in Biafra and we have 11 tribes in Biafra land.”
On his part, Nwoko warned Buhari to expedite Kanu’s
release or “Heaven will strike against his administration…”
Prophet Nwoko further called on the federal government to
desist from killing, terrorizing and intimidating indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB and the Igbo nation as such action
was inimical to the growth and development of the
country.
He expressed optimism that in 2019, an Igbo man would
emerge as the next President of the country adding that
God has chosen him to alleviate the suffering of the Igbo
race and restore the lost glory of the nation.
“Buhari should release Nnamdi Kanu immediately or face
the wrath of Heaven. Buhari is not spiritually qualified to
lead the nation and he is not the expected Prince of Peace.
He is not the messiah the country is waiting for. He does
not possess the heavenly gift to liberate Nigeria”.
He lambasted the administration of President Buhari for
marginalizing the Igbos especially in the aspect of
appointments, insisting that President Buhari was not the
messiah sent to change the economic misfortunes of
Nigeria and Nigerians.
“The next President of Nigeria will come from the South
East of Nigeria; South Easterners are the light of the
country. Anyone fighting them is in darkness. This
message is for the five Governors of the South East, the
Ohaneze Ndigbo, Igbo politicians among others”.

Nigeria gets Africa's first football pitch lit by players

Lagos (AFP) - Africa's first football pitch lit solely by the players' movements has been inaugurated in Lagos, the economic hub of power-starved Nigeria, at a ceremony attended by US-Senegalese rapper Akon. The technology, invented by a young British engineer, consists of placing electronic tiles under the artificial turf, which is converted into power by kinetic energy. Also read: 78 persons regain freedom from prisons in Nasarawa State. Each time a player steps on a tile, seven watts of electricity are generated and sent to a battery. The stored power helps to feed six powerful but low consumption LED floodlights that shine on the pitch. Solar panels around the pitch complement the technology, stocking electricity throughout the day. The system has already been installed at a football pitch in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, in football-mad Brazil, which hosted the 2014 World Cup. "It's brilliant," said Kusagba Oluwadamilola, an 18-year-old spor

I work for Lagos policeman, says suspected robber April 11, 2016

 Afeez Hanafi A 21-year-old suspected robber, Akeem Popoola, says a police inspector attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, uses him to swindle unsuspecting victims. He said he had worked for the policeman, identified as Inspector Festus, aka Ijaya, for about four months before he was arrested. The carpenter, who is currently in custody at the Agbado divison, Ogun State, was arrested for robbery and burglary. A mattress and speakers of a sound system were reportedly recovered from him in the Giwa area of Agbado on April 6. He told PUNCH Metro that apart from burglary, he used to collect phones from the inspector and he would later sell them. He added that Ijaya and two others – Abbey and Aluko – would get the buyers arrested minutes later for buying stolen items. Akeem said their victims paid Ijaya between N120,000 and N150,000 before they were released, adding that he got N5,000 as his share on each ‘deal’. “In November 20
