The new Daily Independent newspaper provides further illumination on the treatment of Nigerian visitors to the U.S. Apparently one of the terrorists who flew the hijacked aircraft into the Twin Towers of the New York World Trade Centre had visited and resided in Kano recently.

I was shocked to read that one of the suicidal murderers had been residing in Kano.

Folks,

They have now come out in the open to confirm what we'd always suspected and what Buhari has been harping on! To your tents !

To all the non-muslims constantly attacking the state of Nigeria, I wish to respectfully point out to you that We, the Muslims are in the majority.

You seem to think that the Nigerian state is mistreating you but how can that be when Shariah Law, the divine law given to us by Allah (SWT) is not being enforced in all Muslim states. Though Nigeria is a Muslim majority nation, we still have rehma towards the non-muslims and we respectfully ask you, not for Shariah Law in states where Islam has yet to be established as the dominant religion, but to accept it only in areas where Islam has been established as the
dominant religion for over 200 years.

Your constant refusal to yield to the truth of Islam is pushing at the patience of moderate Muslims like myself. Of course, we want Nigeria to be the Islamic Republic of Nigeria but due to our respect for the dimmis which the Final Messenger (Peace and Blessings be upon Him and His Family) had we reluctantly accept it as a secular state.

Not only that but we have some respect for a great Nigerian patriot like General Obasanjo despite his, as yet, non-acceptance of the
truth of Islam. However, Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance and we allow Obasanjo to follow his own religion, albeit with its
obvious resultant effect on Judgement Day.

You complain because innocent non-muslims have been killed be it Kaduna, Kano or New York. I too am sorry that the non-muslims
(remember thousands of Muslims were also killed) were not given the chance of Paradise by becoming Muslim before their lives ended at their divinely appointed time. However each man's lifetime is afore
written by Allah (SWT) and it is to Allah (SWT) whom all Muslims and Kaffirs alike will return. What the non-muslim Ummah needs to
understand is that it was American foreign policy that led to the innocent people in America dying as collateral damage in the
justifiable war against anti-Islamic and pro-Satanic Western and non-muslim forces.

But the Nigerian non-muslims fail to grasp that it is their own actions and beliefs, which lead to their deaths in Nigeria and
elsewhere in such numbers. However, they need to accept that We Nigerian Muslims are extremely moderate people and though there is
nothing more we desire than the stablishment of an Islamic Republic of Nigeria we have not given you the treatment that Sudan has meted out to its non-muslim population. However if Muslims are not given their Human rights which Allah (SWT) has bestowed upon our Ummah, the inevitable result will be the loss of millions of innocent non-muslim
lives and any breakaway states will only be given as much land as Swaziland and Lesotho compared to South Africa. All non-Igbo and non-Yoruba Non-Believers need to understand that though a Swaziland-like Biafra and a Lesotho-like non-believer Yoruba segment may be countenanced in order to strengthen the position of Islam in Nigeria, as Malaysia decided to do by splitting off the cancerous Kaffir segment of Singapore, we will never allow any other minorities their freedom except under an Islamic state where their rights will be fully respected and protected. The non-muslims need to understand that in Muslim Nigeria our blood boils that a Kaffir President (though I grudgingly respect him for holding this country together and preserving its unity) is siding with America on attacks our
Muslim brothers in Afghanistan. Non-muslims should understand that the death of a single Muslim is more important to us than the death of ten Kaffirs who support the great Satan or who wish to deny the truth of Shariah Law.

Economically, everything is dominated by non-muslims just as the Asian Mushriqeen controlled Uganda economically before Haji Idi Amin corrected matters and then when young passionate Muslim brothers react
you complain. The non-muslims even wish to prevent the establishment of Arabic as the pan-African language of right. The non-muslims have sympathy for their brethren who are in slavery at the hands of Arabs
in Mauritania and Sudan yet have no respect or understanding for the benefits that Arabic civilisation; culture, language, science, medicine and warriors have brought to Africa. They have no real respect for the Final Messenger (Peace and Blessings be upon Him and His Family).

This state of affairs will not continue indefinitely because Islam can only be suppressed for so long. Long term the non-muslims must realise that our Ummah will triumph. Birth-rate wise, conversionary-
zeal wise and ideology wise our majority is only going to increase. If you come to Muslim majority areas of Nigeria and then think by marrying our women and thereby taking them out of the faith you will
defeat us you are simply stupid because all that will result in is the deaths of more innocent non-muslims. When in Rome do as the
Romans do; do not argue against amputation and do not force Muslim women into prostitution on Muslim soil.

I urge my good Muslim brothers Hamza Umaru and Hamza Brimah that the time for using the kid glove approach with the more aggressive
Kaffirs in Nigeria is over and that use of the kid glove in order to preserve our control over a united country is getting us nowhere. We must be strong and stand up for Islam because being compassionate
with these people is only effective if we can realistically hope to convert them to Islam by extolling the virtues of moderation and tolerance.

When we are faced with accursed Kaffirs in our midst who blatantly support Evil against the truth of Islam we must be steadfast. I urge you to bombard them with more Islamic material and even reason or agree with those who are willing to accept that the unity of the Nigerian nation under Muslim control is unshakable
(except for the Swaziland/Lesotho scenario) but when self confessed Non-Believers attack us we must respond and defend the superiority of Islam and Muslims without pussyfooting around with weak Western
concepts of tolerance towards aggressive non-muslims.

LIVE FREE OR DIE

Like play, like play it seems Yoruba land is being vanquished. The other day it was 4non violent Jihadists at Aremu's back-yard, today it is Osama inspired disturbance in Ibadan. Na wa O!

Chima:
Clearly, "we as people" have no plans to do anything. Have you noticed that in the most recent carnages, no dead Biafran bodies were sent back to Biafra. The Nigerians have perfected the art of digging mass graves in the north and dumping Igbo bodies in those graves. In the past, it was the arrival of those dead bodies in Igboland that sparked what little reaction that "we as a people" used to have. Here is a short list of important things that "we as people" have no plans to do.

1) No plans to pick up the dead bodies of our people slaughtered in the North

2) No plans to bury or even mourn our dead people according to our traditions

3) No plans to identify or punish those behind the slaughter of our people

4) No plans to bring our destitute people home in an organized manner during riots in the North

5) No plans to protect our people, in their life or property, while they live in the North

6) No plans to fight even the identified enemies of Biafra, and yes, you are right,

7) No plans "on the ground in Biafra to defend our people."

It has been a very long time since "we as people" took a stand on anything or did anything that could honestly be attributed to the people. Frankly, "we as a people" are in a deep slumber, " [W]e as a people" are no longer even moved by news that hundreds of our people have been butchered in Kaduna or Kano.

The last time that "we as people" did anything collectively, it was called "Biafra," and we were rushed into a war that was fought on our own soil. Our Land was desecrated by filthy and depraved vandals from the North and the West.

However, one thing is certain. WAR IS COMING, AGAIN. There is nothing that anyone can do to prevent it. Therefore, Biafrans have a decision to make. We can prepare for war, or we can do nothing. The most important step in preparing for the new kind of war that we are going to fight is to bring our people home.

What we are proposing is simple. Biafrans need to decide either to live as slaves in BiafraNigeria, especially in the North, or they can return home, work to develop our Land, and prepare for war, a different kind of war.

But, just because "we as a people" have no plans does not mean that there are no plans for us, "as a people," to consider. If the enemy chooses war, this new war will be fought, NOT IN BIAFRA, but in the enemies' soil. This is not an appropriate forum to discuss details. We cannot fight this new war, while our people are living amongst the enemy. If our people stay in the North, their destiny is certain death at the hands of northerners. If they return home they have a chance to fight.

Hiding out in their butchers' enclaves and being turned into suya is hardly the safety net for your Igbo-Hausa people neither is feigned amnesia as to the reasons for your people's problems in Nigeria. If you secretly habor the fantasy that 'one Nigeria' govt will do it for you, then I apologize for my misconception of you.

Chima, aka ajaja na ebute onu mman mmanu. Who is going to make Igbo land livable and commerce-friendly for your Igbo-Hausa people in the north? Look in the mirror and find all the answers for your questions.

The war ended over thirty years ago. Soon came selfish and greedy Igbo-Hausa apologists who live(d) in the north and received crumbs from their Hausa/Fulani masters. Most of them sabotaged the Biafra cause. These Igbo-Hausas, in complicity with Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba laid waste to Igboland. Yet, everytime these Igbo-Hausa sellouts are running for crumb-picking selection in Nigerian office, your people go "ga ga" over them. In accordance to their masters' instructions, these Igbo-Hausas failed to lift a finger toward the revival and industrialization of Igbo land. The message has been, "go to Hausa land, live there and cow-tow to Hausa/Fulani, and be rewarded with few crumbs for yourself and family", and they are sticking to it.

So if these "Igbo-Hausa leaders" whom you all "see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil" about, lay complacent as usual, to the plight that has befallen Igboland (which they helped creat with Nigerian govt), who do you expect to rush to Hausa/Tiv land to rescue these Igbo-Hausas who shunned Igboland and contributed to it's desolation.

In the final analysis, the igbo man is his own greatest enemy. This great independence of spirit, and an attitude of survival in present day Nigeria, has blemished our characteristic concern for the community at large. Furthermore, in the 30 years following the end of the Biafran war, the older generation has fallen into this quagmire of mediocrity, where survival demands silence, in the face of the mother of all oppressors, the Nigerian occupational forces who have forcibly annexed Biafra, against the will of her peoples. In this silence we have now become the co conspirators with the Nigerian army, and the worst effect of it is THAT THE ABUSIVE ATTITUDE OF THE NIGERIANS TOWARDS IGBOS BECOMES WORSE BY THE MOMENT. I understand that our people have been abused and are still in this state of shock; but they must wake up now and realise, that NO ONE CAN PURCHASE FOR THEM THEIR FREEDOM, that this they must do by joint effort.

They must realise, as I have said repeatedly that the psychology of an abusive relationship is that as the victim becomes more silent, there is a paradoxical escalation of the abuse. Therfore, we are as Rudek 30 May propounded before in need of a code of conduct for all igbos.

Why do we need this detailed and outlined version of what a man should and should not do, when surely it may in effect deprive people of freedom of expression? We are in DIRE need of such a code of conduct, because, OUR PEOPLE HAVE BECOME LIKE STONES< WITH NO FEELINGS TO THE OTHERS; we can no longer rely on their generosity of spirit to do " the right thing" by igbo custom.

I really hope we can form a new thread on this regard, on what we feel that all igbos should aspire to, more so our leaders, and what the rights of all igbos are, and the minorities,if this right is infringed upon we must respond and condemn such persons immediately.

Vis a vis,
#1. It is the right of every igbo man to a burial according to his religious beliefs. We will sue the Nigerian government for the sum of 2 million dollars for each igbo man that has been buried in a mass grave.( Furthermore, we will engage in court the Nigerian government to exhume all remains from the carnages in Jos for identification of the dead.)

After this there should be sub titles for the finer details regarding the cases:
We need a centralized record keeping which will interview and document all the missing biafrans from the first progrom to now., ORGANISATION. We need to be prepared for every eventuality, whether it be legal, or war fare.

#2.Respect for the sanctity of life:

Every time a life is taken, it is like our collective community has lost a life, whose only potential God himself knows. I do not think it fitting, to blame these poor souls for becoming victims to a brutality that is unimaginable. EVERY IGBO MAN must respond, every igbo senator must respond vehemently, fiercely, in the Hague, in the Un just as the Tivs( this response of the Tivs is normal, we must acknowledge, that our governors and senators failure to respond is ABNORMAL.)( Ohaneze came out with some garbage a month after the riots.)

I did not intend this to be a full rendition of what code of conduct we must now put together, but some examples.

i really feel strongly about this, for if we want to succeed, we must be able to tell every easterner, what the yard sticks of success are, and what our expectations of the general populace are. For like pieces of a machine, it is the co ordination of the various parts that make the whole, the one cannot survive without another.

And to the igbo man and the southerner i pose a difficult question, to these minds that have seized to think and feel:

How can 30 million people who want freedom be kept in oppression ? How come, 30 million people desiring freedom from oppression cannot succeed? I'm still trying to figure that one out.

When I have the answer I'll get back to you.

And there shall come shouts of VICTORY from the tents of the just.

" as for you my sweet biafra you are set in timelessness; you begin at infinity, and you end at infinity."

Obviously, you and I know that we cannot rely on these efelefus if our worthy causes should be effected. And how do we effect change? Again, no question, through collectivity which this messageboard has entailed, so far, which ultimately would lead to utopia.

By doing that and as some members of this forum did in the past supporting MASSOB, and if every Igbo organization had done same as we agitate for a marginalized people whose history has been of violence and political impotence, what we are saying now would be a different story.

We can't afford to be talking too much and doing practically nothing. We need to be organized and we have to complete ourselves in order to be totally engaged. It means the thoughtful layman, the scientist, the intellectual, the business mogul, the guru, the engineer, the social scientist, the educator, the rich and what have you, must respect the legitimacy of one another to work hand-in-hand toward effecting change and profound leadership.

Thanks. I appreciate your �middle ground� gesture where you asked what part of your post I disagreed with.

First, let us peruse Chima Njoku�s post where he said, � I have a very important question for all of us. We are all telling Biafran's to return home because of the constant killing by this mad jihadist from the North.

Do we as a people have any plan on the ground in Biafra to defend our people if these mad people decide to attack us at home?
This is a big concern for me. There MUST be a plan in place to protect our people at home.

Who are the WE he referred? Are these WE obligated to profer comfortable accomodation and plush standard of living for Hausa-Igbos who turned their back on the �WE� in question, in place of the Islamic jihadic enclaves? Now, who are these so called Biafrans in the north and what exactly are they still doing in the hostile north?
Are they that non-discernible as to be ignorant of why they are �constantly killed by these mad jihadists in the north�? Who are they fooling by their dogged entrenchment in the north and make belief in �one Nigeria�?

To address his 2nd paragraph, I say, it is in your home tuff that you have a much better chance of defending yourself and repelling your enemy than in your enemy�s house. I ask, have these Hausa-Igbos been able to effectively defend themselves in Hausa land? �These mad people� haven�t decided to attack �US� at home yet, have they? They would think twice before crossing the Niger to attack the Biafra if the Biafrans vacate Hausa land, rehabilitate and revive Biafra land, and most of all, unite in pooling their Financial resources together in securing Igbo/Biafraland instead of Hausa land. Therefore, let those Hausa-Igbos take the initiative (for once) to put in place A PLAN to protect OUR people at home. They ran away to Hausaland, invested their money in Hausa land only to be massacred and deprived of that money (as usual) by the Hausa/Fulani, and come back empty handed. Is this wisdom?

I can tell right off the back that these Hausa-Igbos do not believe in Biafra Republic Actualization. Have you asked the Jews how tolerant they are of those Jews who sabotaged, shunned their Jewish cause, and sided with the Nazis? I can tell you that they don�t lose sleep worrying themselves sick of what the Nazi did with them. The Jews have it in their agenda to indefinitely hunt them down and prosecute them�along with their nazi murderers. The Igbo/Biafra case should not be any less.

Countless MASSOBians are murdered and displaced daily by the Nigerian govt armed forces. Why is Chima Njoku not worried about their plights and that of their families? Who will put food on the table, sponsor their kids in school, and provide adequate and safe housing environment for them. Again, the Biafran vets are languishing by the roadside in parts of Igbo/Biafran cities and villages. Why are we not that concerned about their well being by initiating a continuous fund-raising for them? Those MASSOBIANS and other armed defence forces of Biafra sorely need financial backing to be able to do their defense of Biafra territories in case of islamic/Nigerian invasion. Why are we not doing financial contribution to aid them? Infact, there are a whole lot more areas where funds are seriously needed, in order to effectively implement our Biafra Actualization cause.
Do we write for the sake of writing or are we willing to back our words with action? Can we stand up to be counted where and when it matters most?

Nwokeoma, the last paragraph above is the summary of my outrage.
My indignant concern is deep and broad; and it is compounded when we ignore the main issues and go after the mundane.

My would-be response coincides with the above response I addressed to Nwokeoma.

If we all want Biafra Actaulization and mean it, we should be able to look at the Igbo-Hausas and other fence-huggers, eye ball to eye ball and tell them that they must vacate Hausaland ASAP and HELP in rebuilding and revitalizing Igbo/Biafraland.

On the "doing" side, we, in Diaspora, must all be ready to put in our finacial contribution (unfailingly) toward the actualization of Biafra. Once Biafra is actualized, her industrialization is a done deal.

I am not putting any suggestion on the internet, but i know we have many brillant options, that will keep our people safe and at the end rescue them. Money is very important in every situation, but if there no good planning on the ground, millions of dollars could go into the drain without achieving our objectives.

The present move in actualizing Biafra is a move that must not fail. We are all together in this struggle. Our approach could be different. However we need to bring everyone on board, and have a body to cordinate every plan.

The Justice Niki Tobi Judicial Commission of Inquiry investigating the remote and immediate causes of the September ethno-religious riot that engulfed Jos and Bukuru was yesterday told that the arms and ammunition said to have been used by muslims during the riot were supplied by Bauchi State Governor, Alhaji Adamu Muazu and the immediate past Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar.
