IPOB is a Terrorist Organization, FG refutes US.

By

Chief Okoi Obono-Obla, The Special Adviser to the President on Prosecution maintained the United States’ statement that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is not a terrorist group is inconsequential.
After the Federal High Court, Abuja had declared the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) a terrorist group, the United States however, has said it does not see IPOB as a terrorist organization.
In a statement released late on Sunday, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla insisted that IPOB’s activities certified it as a terrorist group as defined by the provisions of the Terrorism (Prevention) Act 2013.
Obono-Obla said that IPOB through its advocacy and mode of operation, terrorized and or harassed or “those who do not subscribe it to its separatists ideology and ethnic bigotry before its proscription”.
He added, “So it is a terrorist organisation! This is also an organisation that was hounding and killing Nigerians in Rivers and Abia States before the military intervention!

“This is a group that was burning police stations; killing police officers, throwing bombs at military convoys, threatening to make the country ungovernable, threatening to stop governorship election in Anambra State!
“Most importantly a court of competent jurisdiction -Federal High Court has presided over by the Acting Chief Judge, Justice Abdul Kafarati upon an application filed by the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation hinged on Section 2 (1) (a) & (b) of the Terrorism (Prevention) Act granted an order proscribing IPOB! So whether EU or United States of Nigeria or any foreign country says about IPOB is immaterial , irrelevant and of no moment!”
“I have previously said that the international community should not meddle in our internal affairs because doing that will amount to an erosion of our sovereignty!

“The EU has no business absolutely and totally with our internal matters so if EU says it does not see IPOB as a terrorist group, it does not matter as far as Nigeria is concerned.
“It is inconsequential! We all know by the definition of a terrorist organization within the meaning of the term as defined by the provisions of the Terrorism (Prevention) Act , IPOB is a terrorist organization! Also it by its advocacy and modus of operation it is a terrorist organization! It used to terrorize, harassing or intimidating those who do not subscribe it to its separatists ideology and ethnic bigotry before its proscription so it is a terrorist organization!
“I want to add that the USA may say IPOB is not a terrorist organization by US Law because it is a registered business concern in the State of California in the United States!
“However by Nigerian law a foreign company which is not registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission by the provisions of Section 53 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2004 is illegal.
“And by Section 54 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act it is a criminal offense for a foreign company to operate in Nigeria without registration! So all this while IPOB was operating in Nigeria illegally!” he concluded, pointing out the illegality of the Organization in itself.

RATS RULING A NATION

RATS RULING A NATION Hunger engulfed a wealthy kingdom Anger began to walk naked on the streets singing its anthem The poor cry and stone the rich with heavy words While the rich cry, but still cruise their loots. She became sicker and couldn’t sing As unknown sickness caressed the King And since her hospitals are still under-aged to handle his case His ‘eagle’ took him to the ‘heaven on earth’ to be treated by the ‘angels’. Days came and died Weeks came and never survived The trending full moon died as well And another one was born, still he never told his ‘angels’ farewell. Hunger wore heavy war shield and fought innocent stomachs Hate speeches preach gospels on her busy streets Quest for a referendum on everyone’s lips Still his voice was stolen on his sick bed by the wicked ‘Hyenas’ and ‘Jackals’. Animals had an emergency convocation And concurred never to dance the tone played by hunger and starvation Since the wicked ‘Hyenas’ and ‘Jackals’ are eating the

DON’T KILL YOURSELF

Don’t kill yourself Life is a sweet honey The dead wish for its taste So why would you kill yourself? Don’t kill yourself Life is created for bliss That you won’t find in the other side Especially as you want to end your life yourself. Don’t kill yourself Life doesn’t have a spare Especially when suicide sowed a seed It has a destination of torment. Don’t kill yourself Though sometimes life maybe double-barreled A little suffering, a little joy Just endure, joy comes after mourning. Don’t kill yourself Only onto Him, cast your worries Because He cares for you And can do wonders to surprise your eyes. Don’t kill yourself The birds lack nothing The flowers lack no beauty Only Him feeds and beautifies them. He that knows each hair by name He that knows the stars He that makes rains Don’t you think He can make you better?

BUT OJUKWU NEVER TOLD US ( A Poem)

BUT OJUKWU NEVER TOLD US On that Monday morning that NEPA became a saint And blessed my area on like before So reluctantly I prepared to set out from my tent Since he was to do a live broadcast after his voice was missing for three full moons. It was 7:00am and NTA sang the national jingle Followed by his beautiful face that his sickness had starved us And behind his throne was the national flag that stood still Then he opened his gap-toothed mouth to calm our nerves. He was never known for lengthy words But amidst his speech that lasted about five minutes He revealed a secret only him and the dead could attest A consensus he had with the late warrior in his hometown Daura at midnight. The late warrior was his guest for over two days according to him After he joined Partisan politics in 2003 And in great depth, they discussed the nation’s fate Whilst we ignorantly slept, and were deeply snoring like a pregnant toad. “…We both came to conclusion that the country mu
