IPOB Remembers the First Bloodshed: We Will Not Forget
On August 30, 2015, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) recorded what we remember as one of the first major killings of its peaceful members by the Nigerian security forces during the early phase of the movement’s mass street evangelism.
On that day, IPOB members came out peacefully and in their numbers around the Head Bridge area of Onitsha, Anambra State, Biafra Land. Their mission was simple: to distribute flyers to passers-by and residents, evangelize the message of Radio Biafra, and encourage people to join the IPOB movement in the peaceful restoration of Biafra under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
Instead of allowing the peaceful procession to continue, the Nigerian security forces reportedly opened fire on the unarmed protesters. Members of the combined security forces, including personnel of the Nigerian Air Force and Navy, were involved in the operation.
Three IPOB members were instantly shot dead with live ammunition.
That day remains etched in our memory as a painful reminder of the price paid by many ordinary Biafrans who participated in the struggle.
The killings of IPOB members and other Biafrans have continued in different circumstances over the years. What makes the present situation even more painful is what we see as the growing use of Biafrans against fellow Biafrans, with armed groups and criminal elements operating under different names and labels.
We must continue to remember those who lost their lives while peacefully expressing their political aspirations.
Their names may fade from the headlines, but their sacrifice must never be forgotten.
WE WILL NOT FORGET.
WE WILL REMEMBER.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO DEMAND JUSTICE.

Who said Igwe is not Ike ?
DOS has established the Igwebuike Parliament, and they are working. IPOB worldwide has started fundraising for the ESN, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
IPOB is the most disciplined group of people. Our people abroad are funding this movement, and they have made up their minds that our men on the ground will be funded.
We shall not allow our land to be invaded by Fulani terrorist herdsmen. We shall continue to protect our mothers, fathers, farmers, and children from the terrorist herdsmen ravaging Nigeria.
Hence, it is morally right to fund the Eastern Security Network.
Your mother, father, and siblings need to be protected. Support the ESN. Support DOS.
Please, ESN donations are ongoing.

Greetings comrades and lovers of freedom.
You are all highly appreciated for your relentless work and support for the Biafra restoration project. May Chukwu Okike Abiama continue to protect, guide and bless us all as we continue to work for restoration of Biafra as a sovereign Nation.
IPOB has made significant stride despite the challenges we faced especially in the last 5 years. As we take IPOB new oath of Allegiance and pledge, we must rededicate and double our efforts and commitment to this noble project. We have all invested so much into it, hence, the need to see the project through to the finish line, which is now within reach.
On the 29th August 2026, BEAD annual lecture is scheduled to take place at Goldsmith University of London. The theme is "Genocide Nigeriana, before, during and post Biafra genocidal war". The event provides opportunity to get essential knowledge that will enpower us, and we can share with friends and supporters of Biafra.
Let us attend this lecture to demonstrate our support for the current leadership institutionalisation of IPOB, a strategic move in the right direction. It has repositioned our movement to face current and future challenges. Please, invite your family, friends and supporters of Biafrans to the event.
Please register to attend the event via this link below (and share to family and friends). The event is free to attend.

Breaking News !
Three Ambazonia Supporters Sentenced in U.S. for Funding Separatist Attacks
Three men of Cameroonian origin have been sentenced in the United States for their roles in a conspiracy to provide money and equipment to separatist fighters in Cameroon for the construction and use of improvised explosive devices, or IEDs.
U.S. prosecutors said court documents and trial evidence showed that Langmi sent an audio message to separatist fighters asking them to kidnap a traditional leader in Cameroon.
The traditional leader was later taken from his vehicle by separatist fighters following a confrontation with Cameroonian forces. Catholic Cardinal Christian Tumi, who was traveling with the traditional leader, was also abducted.
The Justice Department said Chenyi subsequently provided questions that were to be used during the interrogation of the traditional leader and Cardinal Tumi. He also approved the transfer of funds to separatist fighters through peer-to-peer transactions to support the kidnapping.
The U.S. government also said Langmi attempted to coordinate attacks around the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, which was hosted by Cameroon.
He also allegedly attempted to coordinate attacks in several towns across Cameroon’s Northwest region in the spring of 2022.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sean T. Foley and Joseph M. Marquez for the Western District of Missouri, with assistance from the U.S. Justice Department’s National Security Division.
The FBI’s Kansas City Field Office investigated the case.
The sentences represent one of the latest U.S. prosecutions involving alleged financial and logistical support provided from the United States to armed separatist activities in Cameroon’s restive Northwest and Southwest regions.

Me- Let’s read this with open mind this is what we have been trying to educate our people that crime and kidnapping is not part of freedom fighting.
Whoever that is pushing you or commanding you that criminal activity like killing your own people , snatching their cars , kidnapping and asking for ransom is part of self determination is a complete criminal.

GOODNIGHT, DOLLY: THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE HUMAN MIND INSPIRED
There is something profoundly reflective about listening to Dolly Parton’s “The Mystery of the Mystery” at a moment like this.
In that song, Dolly contemplated some of the oldest questions of human existence: Where did we come from? What is the meaning of this extraordinary thing called life? And what happens when we die?
She understood that despite everything the human mind has discovered, there remains a mystery beyond our knowing.
Today, I think about Dolly standing at the very threshold she once wondered about.
Perhaps this is one of the deepest lessons of human consciousness: we spend our lives seeking answers, yet eventually every one of us must encounter the great mystery for ourselves.
And what a life she lived before that crossing.
As I pause to honour Dolly Parton - a woman whose voice travelled far beyond the mountains of Tennessee and touched the human spirit across generations.
Dolly understood something profound about life. She understood that people need something to hold onto when life becomes difficult. Sometimes it is faith. Sometimes it's love. Sometimes hope, and sometimes, it is a song.
In “Coat of Many Colors,” she reminded us that our worth is not determined by what the world thinks we possess. A coat made from scraps could still be priceless because of the love with which it was made.
As an Igbo woman, I recognise something of my people's story there - a people who emerged from war devastated, yet gathered what remained and rebuilt. We understand something about turning fragments into something whole again.
In “The Seeker,” I hear the consciousness of the human being who continues searching for God, truth, meaning and freedom.
But today, “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” speaks most deeply to me.
Dolly called it her song of deliverance and freedom. And although she did not write it about the Igbo, human struggle sometimes needs no translation.
We have known war, loss, displacement and rebuilding. Yet through it all, something has survived:
the expectation of morning.
Perhaps that is consciousness, not denying the darkness, but refusing to believe that darkness is all that exists.
And then there was “9 to 5.”
That song got me thinking about the consciousness of work about the millions of ordinary people who wake each morning, give their time, energy, intelligence and sometimes their health to their jobs, while still struggling to be properly valued.
Dolly made the everyday working life worthy of a song. Beneath its humour and infectious rhythm was a serious question about dignity, fairness, power and what it means to spend so much of our human lives working.
Perhaps 9 to 5 still asks us something today:
Are we simply working to make a living, or are the places in which we work also allowing us to live?
Dolly also gave millions of children books through her Imagination Library. A woman whose words travelled around the world made sure that children could discover words of their own.
And so my prayer today is simple
Dear God,
Thank You for the life and gift of Dolly Parton. And for every heart she comforted, every mind she inspired and every child whose imagination she helped awaken.
May those walking through darkness remember through her songs that morning still exists. May those carrying broken pieces remember that fragments can become a beautiful coat of many colours.
And may we never stop seeking truth, meaning, love and light.
Dolly, your voice may be quiet, but what you awakened in the human mind remains..
Thank you for keeping humanity inspired.
Goodnight, Dolly Parton.
May there be for you, too, the light of a clear blue morning.

ESN Donation Awareness: Keep Supporting the Security of Our Land
Hundreds of thousands of people have been contacting us for months and years about how they can donate to ESN. Many reached out to me privately and asked me to show them how they can support ESN. I ignored many of those messages because I do not like involving myself in anything related to ESN funds.
However, because of the public’s persistent requests and their desire to support the Eastern Security Network, our media team has taken it upon itself to educate the public on how to donate in support of ESN.
We shall periodically run this ESN public awareness campaign and advertisement for weeks, months, and years so that the public will learn how to support the Eastern Security Network with ease.
Thanks to those who are donating. Please keep donating for the security of our land. The relative peace we enjoy is due to the selfless sacrifices of ESN under the supervision of DOS, led by Mazi Chika Edoziem.
There are some individuals who want our land to be invaded by Fulani herdsmen. They want our mothers, fathers, and farmers slaughtered. They are working tirelessly to sabotage the efforts we are making to fund the security network. We want to assure you distractors that you will not stop this campaign and awareness drive to fund ESN.
We shall take you on a very long walk, so get ready for your sabotage while we intensify our efforts to fund ESN.
Please, ESN donation is on.

This is how you can rightly donate to support the welfare and activities of the ESN.
Visit https://t.co/kZQGgxaRGz, follow the procedures provided, and make your donation through the appropriate channel, where your support can be properly accounted for.
Also, carefully read the flyer below for further guidelines.

Do you know that funding ESN is our collective responsibility, and no amount is too small when lives are at stake?
If you support ESN with just 50 Naira, that 50 Naira can help shield an entire Igbo community from the terror of Fulani attacks. It can mean a mother sleeps without fear. A child grows up knowing their home is still theirs.
If you give 100 Naira, that 100 Naira can help protect precious lives and secure the farmlands that feed our families. Every naira becomes a quiet act of courage for those who refuse to abandon their ancestral land.
Think of this: if only 500 of us each give 1,000 Naira, that becomes an incredible 500,000 Naira. And if 1,000 of us stand together with 1,000 Naira each, we raise a powerful one million Naira. That is not just money, that is hope made real. That is protection for our people.
As IPOB grows stronger and institutionalized, every single penny you give will be used with purpose and accountability. Your sacrifice will not be wasted. It will stand between our communities and those who seek to destroy them.
This is more than a donation.
This is love for our people.
This is defense of our future.

Let Us Not Abandon The ESN Protecting Our Communities
https://t.co/JMj3KfJhCO
Do you ever stop to ask why some Nigerian soldiers and police officers spend hours mounting roadblocks, stopping motorists and demanding money?
One major reason is the poor welfare of many security personnel — inadequate remuneration, poor working conditions, and delays in salaries or allowances. When those entrusted with protecting society are neglected for too long, some become vulnerable to corruption.
This never excuses extortion, kidnapping or any crime. Nothing justifies abusing the people one is supposed to protect.
But if we truly want security in our communities, we must support those who have taken on the responsibility of protecting us.
The Eastern Security Network (ESN) is our shield against Fulani terrorists. Continued funding helps them focus 100% on their duty.
If you are a member of IPOB, please remember your monthly dues. These contributions support the welfare and operations of the ESN. Neglecting their welfare risks the same vulnerabilities we see elsewhere.
If you are not a member of IPOB but genuinely wish to support ESN community security efforts in Igboland, seek proper guidance through the appropriate channel. Contact the Directorate of State (DOS), led by Mazi Chika Edoziem, or reach out to Family Writers Press International for guidance. Your support goes exactly where it is intended.
In the Southeast, the ESN has become a symbol of community protection — a response to insecurity affecting rural communities, farms and people living far from government security formations.
Our communities cannot simply fold their arms and wait for someone else to protect them.
When you support legitimate ESN security efforts, you are supporting the safety of families, farmers, traders and innocent people who simply want to live without fear.
Let us care about the welfare of those protecting our communities.
Let us demand accountability from every security institution.
Let us reject criminality, regardless of who commits it.
A people who want peace must also be willing to protect peace.
