IPOB Bans Nigeria’s National Anthem In Southeast States

The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has banned signing of Nigeria’s National Anthem at public and private functions across the Southeastern part of Nigeria.

The order according to the spokesman of the group, Comrade Emma Powerful said in a statement issued Wednesday, that the order is with immediate effect.

IPOB while disclosing that it would be distributing copies of the Biafran National Anthem across schools in the southeast, however, warned schools to stop singing the Nigeria’s national anthem, adding that any school caught violating the order would regret their actions.

Powerful in the statement urged its members to come out en mass in solidarity of their leader; Nnamdi Kanu whose trial resumption is scheduled for January 18, 19 and 20.

Powerful in the statement titled “WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE DAYS AHEAD – IPOB” wrote “We are the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our prophet and indefatigable liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU.

“We wish to commend Biafrans, friends of Biafra and lovers of Biafra freedom for their resilience and efforts towards the actualisation of Biafra independence.

“We happily welcome all into 2022. We assure our people that the struggle will record more tremendous successes more than the previous years.

“Our achievement in the struggle for Biafra restoration will marvel many traitors because IPOB will soon showcase our achievements so far.

“We have accomplished so much since this fight for our freedom started, and we give the credit to the Almighty God in heaven who has ordained the restoration of Biafra.

“We want to declare that Nigeria Government and its security agencies will have no peace of mind unless they release our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU unconditionally because our God will torment them. Kanu is on a divine project and nobody will hold him and have peace of mind.

“The leadership of IPOB headed by Mazi Chika Edoziem has given order for all IPOB family across the world to activate the protest to show our anger towards the illegal abduction and extraordinary rendition of our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria.

“To this end, we want to inform all Biafrans to get ready to solidarise with our leader as usual, in his next court appearance scheduled for January 18, 19 and 20.

“It is on record that Kenya Government has openly confessed that kidnapping and extra-rendition of our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu were unlawful and we must leverage on that confession and protest his abduction and rendition by the Nigeria Government in collaboration with her allies.

“Fulani cows are banned in Biafraland starting from April 2022. Those in the animal husbandry business must switch over to our native cow without delay.

“Again, concerning stop reading Nigeria national anthem in our schools, we want every school to start reading Biafra national anthem and soon every school is going to receive copy of Biafra national anthem because Biafra is coming and nothing will stop it and 30th of May every year will be celebrating independence anniversary and nothing will stop that, Biafrans must obliged to this order for our freedom. Any school found wanting or disobeying this order will regret their actions.

“Our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU must be released. Nigeria cannot be releasing bandits and terrorists but keep freedom seekers behind bars perpetually; it’s an error!

“We are also warning traitors to stay off our territory because it won’t be easy for them this time because the 2022 will be hunt down year for them.”
