Biafra: we will kill any igbo governor that will invite buhari into igbo Land

IPOB said it would amount to a very big insult to the memory of all the unarmed Biafran heroes and heroines, who were killed by the Buhari administration while carrying out peaceful demonstrations and  agitations for Biafra restoration.

In a statement, yesterday, by Mr Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford Iroanya, its spokespersons, IPOB said it is totally opposed to Buhari’s proposed visit to Enugu State.

According to the statement entitled, “Muhammadu Buhari must steer clear of Biafra land or have himself to blame for the outcome of any such visit,” IPOB declared: “We have received information that retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari, who committed treason on December 31, 1983, and was rewarded with Nigeria’s presidency after 32 years, will be visiting Enugu-Biafraland on  December 22, 2016.

“We warn that any governor or Igbo politician that receives Buhari in Enugu will have himself or herself to blame. We make it public  that should there be a breakdown of law and order in Enugu on December 22, greedy Igbo politicians will have themselves to blame. Any Igbo governor or politician that is found among those hob-nobbing with Buhari becomes an enemy of the people and shall pay dearly for it.

“Until all those detained are released, and the Amnesty International report  investigated, Buhari is not allowed into any part of Biafraland. Let Buhari know that if he comes to Enugu or any part of Biafraland, we will die with him there.

“We are, therefore, calling on all Biafrans to descend on Enugu on the said date of December 22, 2016 to show our anger and displeasure at this attempt by some greedy Igbo men to insult the memory of our glorious dead and those still in detention with our leader.

“Should Buhari attempt to set foot on Enugu soil, everybody involved, from Barth Nnaji to Governor Ugwuanyi, will regret it.

“Any governor or Igbo politician stupid enough to invite Buhari into our capital will be taught a lesson that will reverberate in history.”

The origin Of Agbor

Agbor is one of the oldest vibrant towns in Nigeria, but may have been disadvantaged and eclipsed over the years by the world famous city of Benin, which is only 40 miles away and Asaba, two major towns in between which it is located, as they served as terminuses for east-bound ferry travellers. So much was not recorded about Agbor. The History of Agbor Kingdom like those of other African ancient kingdoms, empires and peoples, is based largely on oral tradition. Various oral accounts on the origin of Agbor and Ika people exist but the most credible being that “Ogunagbon” and his followers, who founded Agbor, came from Benin and first settled in “Ominije”, presently located in today’s Agbor-Nta. Following what can best be described as personal crisis between two princes in Benin and subsequent settlement of this dispute as agreed to by the chiefs and elders of Benin determined by casting of lot, led to one of the princes settling in what became known as ...

Origin and meaning of Edo words

Ewuare the first Bini warrior king, was himself forced into exile as a young prince and nearly would not have ascended the Benin throne.  With death penalty hanging on his head as a result of some misdemeanor, he fled into the woods although regularly, secretly visiting the city of Benin at night. The elders (Edionisen) heard about his secret visits and set a trap to capture and kill him.  Just as he was about to be caught, he escaped to the home of Ogieva Nomuekpo, who hid him in a well covered on top with leaves.  Ogieva then went to invite the elders to come and arrest Prince Ogun as he was called then. While Ogieva was on his way to call the elders, Edo, the head servant of Ogieva's household alerted Prince Ogun about his master's diabolical plan and helped the prince to escape.  Ogieva returned with the elders to find that he had been betrayed and he severely punished Edo for this. After several years in the bush, Prince Ogun began to grow weary of his vaga...
