“May God Give Nigerians Patience
To Tolerate My Government” –
Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari, on
Friday expressed hope that “God in
his infinite mercy” will give Nigerians
the “patience to tolerate” his
government, reports dailypost.

Speaking at the Presidential Villa in
Abuja, Buhari insisted that his
administration had been doing its best
to overcome challenges it inherited
from its predecessor.

The President noted that his
administration just started working.
Buhari said:-
I have said it so many times, I don’t
mind saying it now to you because some
of you may not have even the time to
listen to radio or watch television as
regularly as other people do.

“From 1999 to 2014, Nigeria has never
realised so much resources since our
independence, never,
because the average production – go to
any renowned financial or economic
institution in the world;

they know Nigeria produced an average
of – (was) 2.1 million barrel per day at
an average cost of 100 dollars per barrel.

“But when we came in it crashed to 37
dollars per barrel, and we overlooked
saving and there was no saving.
“So really, we have just started working
and we hope God in his infinite mercy
would give Nigerians the patience to
tolerate us.

Nnamdi Kanu Has No Means Of Livelihood, Says Army

Nnamdi Kanu Has No Means Of
Livelihood, Says Army

The Nigerian Army has said the leader
of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
Nnamdi Kanu, has no means of
livelihood, but used “propaganda” to
make people believe him.

The Director, Army Public Relations,
Brig. Gen. Sani Usman, stated this in
Abuja while rounding off a two-day
media conference on the military’s
enhancement of human rights.

The army spokesman, who stressed the
need for a robust army-media
relationship towards enhancing national
security, said those people following the
IPOB leader were in a “one-chance
vehicle.”

“There was an allegation that somebody
(Kanu) went into hiding. Now, I can’t
remember the day but in an interview
on Channels TV, one of Nnamdi Kanu’s
younger brothers said that he was in
hiding and he knew where he was, ”
Mr. Usman said.
“And one lawyer came up that he has
taken the Chief of Army Staff to court.

Now, who gave you the brief? You said
you do not know where he (Kanu) is.
Now, who gave you the brief? And the
media is asking us where is Nnamdi
Kanu? Why not ask the man that said so
who gave him the brief to take people
to court when he does not know where
the man is?”
“…That is why those people following
him have entered into a one-chance
vehicle. This is somebody standing trial
in a criminal case.

Sometimes, whether we like it or not,
we want to stand against the truth. But
no matter how long, the truth will come
to pass on October 17. This is an
individual without a means of
livelihood.”
“I can speak eloquently. So what? If I
can speak like him, I can also have my
own group, that’s exactly what is
happening. So, what is the essence of
our education as a people? You know
that somebody is in a criminal case, and
you believe in him.”
The lead defence counsel to the IPOB
leader, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said the
statement of the military was an
“afterthought”, adding that the case was
in court.

“What we have put before the court is
that the army should produce Nnamdi
Kanu. The statement about his
credibility or his means of livelihood is
an afterthought. The case is already in
court,” he said.

United States Doesn’t See IPOB As Terrorist Organisation’ – Russell Brooks

United States Doesn’t See IPOB As Terrorist
Organisation’ – Russell Brooks

The United States Government has said it
does not consider the Indigenous People of
Biafra a terrorist organisation.

Last week, the Federal High Court in Abuja
gave a judicial backing the executive order of
President Muhammadu Buhari, outlawing the
group and its activities in the country.

The court granted the order to proscribe the
group on Wednesday.

It declared that the activities of the group
constituted acts of terrorism.
The Federal Government also accused France
and the United Kingdom of aiding IPOB
activities.

The spokesman for the American Embassy in
Nigeria, Russell Brooks, told SUNDAY PUNCHon
Friday that the US government does not view
IPOB as a terrorist group.

He said this in response to our
correspondent’s email which asked if the
United States sees IPOB as a terrorist
organisation.

Brooks stated further that the US was
committed to Nigeria’s unity and would
support a peaceful resolution of any crisis in
the country.

He said, “The United States Government is
strongly committed to Nigeria’s unity.

Important political and economic issues
affecting the Nigerian people, such as the
allocation of resources, are worthwhile topics
for respectful debate in a democracy.

“Within the context of unity, we encourage all
Nigerians to support a de-escalation of
tensions and peaceful resolution of
grievances. The Indigenous People of Biafra
is not a terrorist organisation under US law.”
The US embassy, however, declined to
comment on whether the Federal Government
had asked it to treat IPOB as a terrorist
organisation and to block money sent to IPOB
from the US.

Nnamdi Kanu Brainwashed My Brother , Says Man Whose Relation Was Killed In Clash.

Nnamdi Kanu Brainwashed My Brother , Says
Man Whose Relation Was Killed In Clash.

An aggrieved man has taken to Twitter to
allege that his brother died as he confronted
armed soldiers in the struggle for the
realisation of the Biafran State.

The man, one Onyema Isaac Ugo with Twitter
handle @OnyemaIsaa, claims that his
relation was killed by the soldiers in Umuahia
last Friday.

edia lamentation which friends
and other sympathisers reacted to, Mr. Ugo
alleged that the late Kelechi was recruited
into the Indigenous People of Biafra, but
that he was felled by “the bullets of the
army.”
Detailing the steps allegedly leading to
Kelechi’s recruitment and eventual death,
Ugo wrote, “I told Kelechi to stop this IPOB of
a thing.

“But he didn’t listen, because he has been
brainwashed by NK. I don’t know if he was
under a spell by IPOB. Today, where is
Kelechi?”
Continuing, Ugo said that for days now,
Kelechi’s mum and his sisters have been
crying because of their son’s death
He claimed that the late Kelechi Metuh was a
butcher in Anara market, but that he left his
successful business to go to Umuahia “to meet

his death.”
Providing other facts about his late relation,
Ugo claimed that Kelechi Metuh was a native
of Anara, in Isiala Mbano Imo State.
He said that Kelechi’s mother said the late
man left Anara for Umuahia last Friday
morning at about 8pm; and that though his
mother reportedly warned him earlier on
Friday morning not to go to Umuahia that
day, he refused.

“Today, where is Kelechi?” Ugo lamented.
Explaining how his allegedly bereaved family
members were informed of Kelechi’s death,
Ugo wrote, “We got the news from an unknown
caller on Friday night by 9pm, that Kelechi
was shot by army(sic) in NK (Nnamdi Kanu’s)
community.

Reporting on Kelechi’s mother’s reaction to
the news of her son’s death, Ugo said the
mother cried, “We did not know that it was
his last day for him on earth, Kelechi my son
is dead, and I will not see him again.
“Nnamdi Kanu don’t know who my son is, but
my son died because of him, he will pay for
his blood, Nnamdi Kanu will pay for Kelechi’s
blood.”

Ugo, too, unable to contain his grief, wrote,
“I cannot still believe that Kelechi is dead,
Kelechi that I saw on Monday last week is now
dead. #Sad. Nnamdi will surely pay.”
He also said he wished other youths in
southeast would Learn from Kelechi’s issue,
concluding with a saying, “A stubborn fly
follows the corpse to the grave.”
And, as Twitter users expressed doubts about
his claims, with some insinuating that he was
only looking for cheap fame using a spurious
claim as basis, Ugo urged his critics to “come
to Mbano in Imo State and confirm it.”
He tweeted, “When you get to Owerri, take a
bus going to Anara in Isiala Mbano from
Okigwe (motor) park.

“When you get to Anara junction, enter a
bike going to Umuehie village in Anara, tell
him to take you to the king’s palace, ask
them of the family that their son was killed.”
When told to provide the photograph of the
deceased, Ugo said he was not tweeting with
an Android phone and that he could not
upload photographs on Twitter.
“I am an Igbo man, flesh and blood, why will
I use my brother’s name for propaganda?”
he querried his critics.
Quoting a published news that IPOB burned
down mosque in Abia, Ugo drew a parallel
with the Boko Haram activities in the North,

saying, “This is how Boko Haram started
bombing churches in the North.”
He declared Kanu wanted.
