Nnamdi Kanu's handwritten statement / transcription
Nnamdi
Kanu, Male Igbo Christian, aged 48 (i.e. born 1967, the year Biafra was
announced), of Afaraukwu-Ibeku (Umuahia-North LG, Abia State), of dual
Nigerian-British nationality, living in Pilkington Road, SE London, UK
I
can confirm that I, Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra worldwide is a legally registered and duly recognized body at
the United Nations pursuing the rights of a specific indigenous people,
in this case Biafra, to seek self-determination according to the said
charter. The reason for the formation of the Indigenous People of Biafra
is to avail those referring to themselves as Biafrans the opportunity
made available as a result of the United Nations Declaration to seek the
peaceful re-Birth of Biafra in line with international laws, lack of
holistic development in the socio-economic landscape of Nigeria, lack of
youth employment, corruption in high offices, and economic repression.
Opportunities
no longer existed for the majority of the people, and especially young
graduates to find meaningful employment in the job market, general
hardship, brutal repression of civil and human rights coupled with
system that shuns inward investment contributed to the thinking behind
the formation of IPOB.
The
People of Biafra all over the world have particular emphasis on those
residing in the diaspora it is not advised that those in Nigeria
contribute. No contribution is accepted from those in political office
or from organizations only individuals belonging to those organizations
may choose to contribute if they wish to the volunteer force. IPOB is a
group of people who may wish to group themselves together for the
purpose of Evangelism or going out to the streets to distribute leaflets
and preach the message of lawful existence of Biafra as stipulated in
the UN Charter.
There
is no armed conflict agitating and any reference to such is purely
designed to stop the Nigerian Armed Forces ostensibly the police from
coming out and killing innocent people.
IPOB
volunteers are modeled on exactly the same tenet as the world renowned
Salvation Army Front. Its ambitions are army but it does not carry any
weapons. The same thing applies to the volunteers of IPOB. There is no
arms training involved. I am the Director of Radio Biafra and solely
responsible for the output the (genre?) of Radio Biafra is strictly to
capture attention and imagination and not designed to incite anyone to
violence.
For
very many years the Nigerian state and Nigerians in general have
continued to witness poor economic management, fraud, corruption, and
mismanagement of every sector of the economy. Therefore, as Radio Biafra
programs were designed to wake up the public from their slumber and
address the issues of the time, which is youth unemployment, lack of
infrastructural provisions, poor electricity, an absence of rural
development, and conspicuous absence of respect for human rights.
The
area as envisaged as Biafra are predominantly South-East and
South-South territories having cultural, linguistic, traditional, and
commonality in value system. Reference to the President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria as a terrorist, evil, and Paedophile is regrettable
and uncalled for and for that I unreservedly apologize and will be doing
so in a private letter to the President. Before PMP there was the
administration of Goodluck Jonathan I also said some uncomplimentary
things about him and Igbo elders as well, which I now recognize should
have happened because it is un-African to be rude or insolent to elders.
All I was trying to do is draw attention to the problems afflicting
society and what society is doing about it.
The
areas intended for the Biafran being espoused by Indigenous People of
Biafra are Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Anambra, Bayelsa Delta, Edo
(but only Igbamke), Kogi (only Igala), and Imo States. The mission
statement of Radio Biafra is dedicated to the defences of the rights of
the indigenous people of Biafra and ultimately the restoration of the
REpublic of Biafra in line with United Nations Declarations on the
Rights of Indigenous People

Please release my husband- Dasuki's wife begs FG
According to The Nation, Mrs Dasuki made the plea on Tuesday night after her husband was re-arrested after he was able to meet his N500 million bail condition. Mrs Dasuki who created a scene outside the DSS Headquarters said;
“Nigerians should help me beg the Federal Government, the DSS and other agencies to release my husband who did his best to serve this nation. He is ill, he needs medical attention, he is not pretending. I implore the DSS not to allow him to die in custody. I saw my husband and I felt dejected. He is not just well. Nigerians should assist him to get a reprieve. We(myself, the children and relations) are all destabilised. We don’t know what is happening because three courts have granted him bail. Why are they after him? Let those concerned respect the court by releasing my husband. There is no way my husband will run away from the country under any guise. They should please follow the rule of law and uphold his right to bail.”she said

Skeletal remains found in a shallow grave in Soweto confirmed as that of a girl who went missing three years ago
Yesterday, December 30, the police confirmed that the skeletal remains found in the grave were indeed Madiba's. Brigadier Mashadi Selepe said they could not divulge more information to the media until their investigation had been completed.
22-year-old Madiba disappeared in August 2013. She had spent the weekend at a friend's house and was expected back home in Diepkloof but didn't return. The family searched high and low but every tip on her whereabouts had turned out to be false.

“Media Chat Exposed Buhari’s Undemocratic Character”- PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says President Muhammadu Buhari’s responses at the Wednesday Presidential Media Chat were not only embarrassing but also further exposed his undemocratic character as an unrepentant tyrant who has no regard for the rule of law and the self-worth of Nigerian citizens.
The party,
in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, on
Thursday also said the President confirmed his partisanship in the much-vaunted
war against corruption by openly absolving his ministers and party members of
corrupt practices.
“Whilst
we restate our respect for the person and office of the President, we note that
President Buhari bared his true colours to the world as an unrepentant tyrant.
Today, the world is no longer in doubt as to who is behind the prevailing
recklessness, abuse of rights of citizens and outright flouting of judicial
pronouncements by security agencies.
“A
situation where the President openly pronounced persons facing trial guilty and
sanctioned their continued incarceration despite being granted bail by the
courts, presents a dangerous fascist practice obtainable only in
totalitarian societies like Mussolini’s Italy, Hitler’s Germany, Idi Amin’s
Uganda and General Than Shwe’s Burma.
“This
extremely shocking dictatorial tendency being brazenly exhibited by the
President in total disdain for our laws and judicial institutions portends
great danger for our democracy and constitutionally-guaranteed rights of the
people, and should be resisted by the citizens before it festers.
"The
scorn for the principle of separation of powers, especially the independence of
the legislature, is further manifested in the declared craving to regulate the
funding and running of the National Assembly, a matter constitutionally vested
outside the jurisdiction of the executive. We are most uncomfortable
about his attempt at trying to whip up public sentiments against an independent
arm of government, especially the one vested with the constitutional power of
appropriation.
“Following
from the foregoing, therefore, it may be necessary to suspend the application
of our Constitution and allow the President to operate as maximum ruler for
four years after which the nation can return to a democracy.
“On
the issue of the Chibok girls, President Buhari’s embarrassing declaration of
seeking information on the whereabouts and state of the girls betrays an
obvious insincerity which is in total conflict with his campaign promises in
that regard. Thus by this declaration, our dear President has accepted failure
on this issue and should therefore apologise to Nigerians for all the insults,
abuse and aspersions cast on the past administration by himself and the
leadership of his political party.
“On
the issue of devaluation of the naira, there is an obvious conflict between the
budget speech wherein the president stated that the government is assessing the
foreign exchange rate with a view to attracting foreign investments and his
categorical pronouncement during the media chat that the naira would not be
devalued. We invite Nigerians to note that the president obviously does
not understand the currency that applies in the devaluation of the naira (laugh
out loud).
“Furthermore,
Nigerians
were shocked by the President's labeling Nigerians as ‘very difficult
lot’ while responding to questions on the strategy to be adopted in
implementing his promised N5,000 social welfare package.
“This
unhealthy portrayal of the citizens by the very father of the nation, who has
remained unrelenting in de-marketing his country through unguarded
statements, is indeed a great disservice to Nigeria and its international
image. Consequently, we reject this negative labeling of our citizens and
reiterate our confidence in them, especially the millions who remain honest,
hardworking and credible.
“Finally,
Nigerians must take copious note of the fact that the President gave no
inspiring answers to questions pertaining to his campaign promises, the fight
against insurgency and rescue of the Chibok girls, the poor state of the
naira, sudden plunging of the economy under his watch, and the gradual loss of
democratic rights and freedom.”

The story was posted by Reddit user GoldenState and titled 'My girlfriend's cat came home with this note today''. The cat, Nala, was carrying a handwritten message which read:
"I don't know who this cat belongs to, but she comes [and] visits us every few weeks. "She'll meow outside our back door until we let her in."Nala, the note says, would wind herself around their legs and walk around the house like it was her own, waiting at the fridge to be fed baloney by the writer or her husband because "she doesn't like our cat food very much"."We look forward to her visits - we lost our 21-year-old cat this year."

3 Nigeria men arrested in India for allegedly gang raping teen girl

'They forced us to pray before raping us, to them we were animals' ISIS rape survivor reveals
"When Daesh entered my village, they killed children, the old and young men. The next day, they killed the old women and led the young girls, including me, to Mosul. In Mosul, I saw thousands of Yazidi women where they were distributed to their slave masters. There I saw a huge Daeshi, who wanted to take me. I implored to another man to take me instead when I saw he was smaller. But he turned out later to be one of the worst people I’ve ever seen. The Daesh used to force me and other captives to pray and then rape us. We were not worth the value of animals.
"They raped girls in groups. They did what a mind could not imagine. In their so-called Sharia [Islamic law] courts, they had our names and phone numbers of our slave masters. They would call us whenever they wanted to spend time with us and sell us."Nadia was brave enough to escape from her so called "owner" and has now made it her point of duty to inform the world especially young girls and youths about the growing threat ISIS poses to the girl child and World Peace.
"I am the victim of terrorism disguised under the cloak of Islam. All these crimes are committed in the name of Islam. I’ve come to the Muslim world to complain and demand an Arab and Islamic stance against Daesh. No religion accepts enslaving women and raping children. We have the right to demand a united global stance because we share others values of humanity."
NDLEA arrests female drug trafficker recruited via Facebook
When interrogated, Uju who works with an accounting firm in Lagos said: “I met a man on facebook some months ago who lives in Malaysia. He told me while chatting online that he is from my state, Anambra. After some months, he proposed to marry me and I requested that he comes to Nigeria to meet my parents as our custom demands. He promised to fulfil every marriage rite. Months later, he invited me to Malaysia, promising to pay all the travel expenses. After several appeals, I decided to visit him. The day I was to travel, he told me to take along a bag of foodstuff sent by his mother from the village. I was given the bag at the airport but in the process of checking it, drug was discovered inside packs of noodles in the bag and I was arrested.”
NDLEA Lagos Airport Commander Ahmadu Garba while commenting on her arrest, said “Gloria was arrested during screening of passengers on an Ethiopian airline flight on her way to Malaysia at the departure hall. Substances that tested positive for methamphetamine weighing 1.325kg were detected in her luggage. The drug was concealed in 26 packs of Indomie noodles in a bag of foodstuff containing plantain, pepper, melon and other spices. Further investigation led to the arrest of Akpaka, who allegedly coordinated the travel arrangement for Gloria and gave her the bag containing the drugs”.
Also commenting on the arrest, NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive Roli Bode-George urged the public to be wary of drug cartels.
“Members of the public should be wary of these antics, ascertain a wholesome relationship and report suspicious cases to the agency. Some of the tricks to watch out for include marriage proposals to unsuspecting female victims, unsolicited generosity like cash and other gift items as well as offering all-expense paid trip to Asia, Europe, America and South Africa. The mode of recruitment is also instructive because of its mass appeal to youths. I expect lovers of social media to learn from this arrest.”she said
The cartel’s suspected leader Akpaka admitted preparing Uju's travel papers at the instance of his Malaysia-based friend.
“I am a transporter. My friend in Malaysia asked me to prepare travel documents for Ezeabata. He also asked me to give her a bag to take to Malaysia,” he said.
Further investigation into the matter is ongoing
