Biafra: Convene Sovereign National Confab now – BIM.

ABA – Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, has called on the federal government to urgently convene a sovereign national confab to give an opportunity to component units in the country to determine their future.

The group accused the federal government of using brute force to keep component units in the country together against their will, adding that it is a matter of time before the nation disintegrates.

BIM’s National Director of Information, Sunny Okereafor, who stated this in Aba, lamented that the launch of the Operation Python Dance II exercise has exposed the federal government’s bias in handling issues concerning the South East and South South zones of the country.

“We cannot continue to be part of a forced union, the federal government should urgently convene a sovereign national conference to allow these component units determine if they want to be part of the federation or not. No forced marriage can last.

There can’t be different laws for the same people. From the launch of operation python dance II exercise, it is clear that the President Muhammadu Buhari is determined to use force to suppress the agitation for an independent state of Biafra.

“MASSOB/BIM will no longer accept this double standard where the murderous Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram are tolerated while Biafra groups agitating for independence must be killed. Fulani herdsmen have wrecked havoc, killing farmers and raping women in Nimbo Uzo Uwani, Agatu, and other places, yet no operation python was declared.

“The entire Southern Kaduna was almost wiped off; there was no Army to declare operation python. There is no crisis in the South East zone to warrant the setting of operation python. It is all part of the larger plot by Buhari to continue to intimidate, marginalize, suppress and kill people of the zone.”

BIM warned Igbo youths to b

e cautious and refrain from playing into the hands of what it described as the enemies of Biafra, who will not hesitate to massacre them under the guise of keeping peace in the zone.

BOOK EXCERPT: The Farmhouse by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

The Farmhouse  by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren Chapter One The Family `Once upon a time in the old town of Gid, an old farmer called Erasmus had a horse and a son. The boy’s name was Jason, and the horse was Francis. They lived in a farmhouse, and Francis took them everywhere they went. The farmer had no wife. She died after Jason was born. Erasmus vowed never to remarry and had remained a widower ever since. Taking care of Jason and Francis alone was never easy, but the farmer promised his late wife on her deathbed that he was going to raise Jason into a fine man. One sad morning, the cockerel said it was dawn. The disturbance woke Jason. The boy stormed out of sleep. He removed the blanket and rolled out of bed. He went to the window and peered out. The weather was clear, and the boughs of trees bowed and danced to the sweet movement of the morning breeze. Jason liked the morning, and then he carried himself to the sitting room, where his father was on his knees saying his morning prayers....

From the novel entitled, "Beyond Imagination" by Oladele Dada.

 Oladele Dada. It was dawn. The chilly dust-laden wind formed dense fog on the road. The rocky hills and the tall trees made Ajewole a beautiful town. The birds sang aloud, and clanging of stainless dishes in the neighbourhood suggested human activity was at its peak. Humans had begun to move to their various destinations. Adunni had trouble with child bearing and her husband was worried. Then she booked an appointment with her doctor. After several tests, the doctor suggested the couple be patient and that she will surely get pregnant. Not long after, Adunni was pregnant. After several months, Adunni was delivered of a boy. The women in her neighbourhood, alongside the children, sang and danced to her home to celebrate with her. Her husband, Fredrick Olagbade, thanked the Lord and named the boy Juwon.     As Juwon grew, his mother had another child whose name was Olakitan. Juwon was intelligent and his parents were struggling to make ends meet. As poverty st...

NEW RELEASE: Those Ghostly Victorians by Annette Siketa

  Those Ghostly Victorians by Annette Siketa ABOUT THE BOOK At its zenith, the belief in ghosts in the Victorian era bordered on the hysterical. From stately homes to deserted wells, no dwelling was complete without a resident ghost. Halls and mansions and even the odd palace or two, spawned a multitude of family legends, many of which still persist. Many people claimed to have direct contact with a ghost through an object such as a ouija board or a pen, the latter collectively known as 'spiritual writing'. For example, a secretary allegedly continued to take dictation from his employer long after the latter was dead. Whether it was through books, plays, or supposedly true stories, the influence of the supernatural was profound. And it is not difficult to understand why, especially in the 'lower class', the majority of whom were uneducated. With nothing but drabness and poverty on the horizon, events such as a windy night or a violent storm were likely to set the ima...
