Prof. Ben Onyeukwu- IPOB THE CRISES, NOT A PROBLEM

IPOB CRISES,
NOT A PROBLEM:
By Prof. Ben Onyeukwu
With strong conviction, the writer affirms that, the crises  currently rocking the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is not a problem to the full restoration of the sovereign nation of Biafra. Kudos to Dr. Ngozi Orabueze, the Chief of Staff and the Deputy Prime Minister of the Biafra Government in Exile (BRIGIE) and the Autopilot movement, who on November 29, 2024, in Lahti Finland, despite the arrest and detention of Mazi Simon Ekpa, by the Finnish police, redeclared the sovereign nation of Biafra, in continuation of the first declaration in Enugu, on May 30, 1967, by the then, Lt. Col. Chuhwumeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, who later became the General and the Commander-in-Chief of the first Republic of Biafra, which now makes the United States of Biafra (USB), as was redeclared, a national movement, and not just a self-determination group.
   It is common knowledge that, a vast majority of the IPOB and the Autopilot leaderships and members, have constantly and unanimously affirmed Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as the recognized supreme leader of the two groups, which unofficially suggests that in the foreseeable chain of power, in the real and future Government of Biafra, the groups may endorse Nnamdi Kanu as President, Simon Ekpa as Prime Minister and Dr. Ngozi Orabueze as the Deputy Prime Minister of the new country.
   Having stated the above, please, recall that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group, is a worldwide aclaimed self-determination movement founded by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in 2012, which some reports also mention 2014, when it was registered as a company in the United Kingdom (UK), for the purpose of the restoration of an independent State of Biafra, in the Nigeria's South-East. However, this peaceful and non-violent agitation organization, was proscribed by the Nigeria's Federal High Court in Abuja, under Justice Abdul Abdu- Kafarati, who granted an ex parte order prescribing the group and declaring all its activities illegal, in keeping with an application by the then, Attorney-General, Abubakar Malami. This was formalized by the Federal Government of Nigeria, on September 20, 2017. The court order was signed and gazetted on the same date. Also, the Federal Government published the “Terrorism (Prevention) (Proscription Order) Notice, 2017” in the Federal Republic of Nigeria Official Gazette, Volume 104 on September 20, 2017. In the same vein, in September 2017, President Muhammadu Buhari signed a presidential proclamation proscribing IPOB.
   Yes, after the cited period, the claims and counter-claims of betrayals, prominently became noticeable in the IPOB family, yet unable to crack the solid foundation and superstructure of the organization, built by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, even with the alleged double standards of the Nigerian section of the group. Instead of declining in strength, the association became more powerful, in every segment of its worldwide outlets, notwithstanding, the arest, trial
and life imprisonment sentence of its supreme leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, as recent crisis resulting from the alleged sack of DOS leadership of the association, from the view point of the writer is nothing to worry about. From a feeler, IPOB said Kanu, using powers in the IPOB Code of Conduct, had already dissolved the 3rd DOS led by Edoziem and inaugurated a new 4th DOS under Chris Nwaọgụ, stating that, IPOB Code says “the power to appoint, suspend or dismiss erring Principal officers vests exclusively on the leader of IPOB, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu”, as the group upholds that, no Coordinator, Principal Officer, Directorate, Committee... possesses any constitutional authority to suspend, remove, or overrule the Supreme Leader”.
  Nevertheless, from rumour mills, on 18-19 June 2026, Chikadibia Edoziem, Head of DOS, announced that the “Directorate of State of IPOB has indefinitely suspended the Office of the Leader of IPOB and the position of Director of Radio Biafra, both previously held by Nnamdi Kanu”, pointing to “unguarded utterances”, security concerns, and monitored prison communications from Sokoto prison. But, IPOB’s spokesperson Emma Powerful immediately rejected it, noting that, Edoziem and his group were members of the “dissolved third administration of DOS” whose tenure had already been terminated, with the affirmation that, “no person can derive authority from an office that has already ceased to exist”. The bottom line here, is that the whole drama is an internal IPOB power struggle, wherein, one DOS faction “suspended” Kanu, but the Kanu-backed DOS faction says that faction was already dissolved and the suspension is illegal.
   Despite the foregoing, anyone thinking that the reviewed IPOB crises, or even the alleged Nigerian Government sponsored conflicts, that have been fueling inter-group crises between the IPOB and Autopilot organizations, can hinder the restoration of the Sovereign State of Biafra, is definitely daydreaming.

Prof Ben Onyeukwu--POLITICS OF SOKOTO PRISON

POLITICS OF

SOKOTO PRISON:

By Prof. Ben Onyeukwu 

Meticulous observers in the Nigerian political space, have allegedly pictured Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, as a victim of political miscalculation in Nigeria, since he has defiled all forms of the political appeals employed by political gladiators in the country. They seem to agree that Nnamdi Kanu's doggedness in the Biafran agitation stands out as a hard nut, too difficult to crack, or to be submerged into the Nigerian politics. These folks equally alleged that the prominent idea in letting Nnamdi Kanu pass through the excruciating judicial process that sentenced him to life imprisonment was to break his self determination backbone, which they considered the best way to force him into compromise, as the multiple and unending visitations of the Nigerian politicians to Nnamdi Kanu at the Sokoto Correctional Center, since his jailed sentence, appears to be giving the cited allegation a bite.

   Before the imprisonment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, it is common knowledge that there were series of calls for political solution, which supposedly would have settled the case out of court. But, since the political intrigues did not work, the allegation under review, became suggestive that, Nnamdi Kanu's life imprisonment may have been the plan "B", in the attempt to achieve the desired political gains. Even now that Nnamdi Kanu is finally behind bars, there is the rumour that the "power that be", and those interested in Nigerian politics have been embarking on secret visits, with the objective of persuading him to drop the Biafran agitation, as a condition for his freedom. From the same rumour mills, there is that heartbreaking allegation that Nnamdi Kanu may get death sentence in ongoing appeal court process, if he remains unyielding.

   Another dimension of the allegation that is hereby discussed, focuses on the 2027 electioneering campaigns, in which some Nigerian dubious politicians now tell the electorate that they would release Nnamdi Kanu from prison, if voted into power. Prominent in the picture is Mr. Peter Obi, who carries an unconfirmed story, which quotes him, as have said that, he would release Nnamdi Kanu, if he becomes the president of Nigeria. Peter Obi is not alone in this type of political antics, as Alahaji Atuku Abubakar and some other notable politicians in Nigeria, are also allegedly fingered in the aforementioned unholy political propaganda.

   Furthermore, from the observers desk, there is another speculation that the politicians of the Southeast geopolitical zone are now in two major divides in the Nnamdi Kanu-release political strategy. The first divide, are those who believe that power can only be obtained from what they refer to, as the "secret government of Nigeria", the Caliphate. To this category of the Eastern politicians, speaking out against Nnamdi Kanu, or calling for a capital punishment against him would move the Northern electorate to vote for them in the coming general elections, as well as impress the Caliphate to endorse them for the political offices of their dreams. The second divide of this crop of politicians in Southeast, go with the idea that calling for Nnamdi Kanu's release would endear them to the people, and in turn move them to massively vote for them in the 2027 general elections. This is tantamount to what some politicians refer to as "politics of the sick bed", in which President Bola Ahmed Tinubu allegedly pretended to be deadly sick during the 2023 general elections, to attract the votes of the northerners, who may have voted him, in the supposition that he would quickly die in office, to pave way for Vice President Shetima, in now the alleged failed efforts, to have fastened the return of power to the north, as it was in the case of former President Goodluck Johnathan. 

   But, all such political manipulation are just a miscalculation of political strategy that would never work for those who think they can score political goals with the pretentious call for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, as such a call only grieve the vast majority of the people of the Southeast, who believe that Nigeria has not been fair to them, and so, remains a political "Bad "Market, for any politician, who thinks otherwise. By way of conclusion, let it be rehearsed the Nnamdi Kanu only stands for a call for a referendum, to determine whether the people of the Southeast want to remain in Nigeria or not.

Prof Ben Onyeukwu --GREAT EXAMPLE, GOOD FINISHING

GREAT EXAMPLE, GOOD FINISHING:

"I will not hand over the leadership of the Deeper Life Bible Church to my biological children", as recently announced by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, stands out as an epoch making ecclesiastical leadership example, in recent pentecostal/evangelical church movements. This decision is really outstanding, as well as holds out a good path for other church founders and leaders to follow. However, at 85, Pastor Kumuyi should do well, to step aside, and assume the emeritus status of the church, which would give him the opportunity to oversee the first leadership transition of the church, and in turn help him to play advisory role to a new leadership of the church, till he bows out to glory. Yes, Pastor Kumuyi's GREAT DECISION, not to hand over the leadership of Deeper Life Bible Church to his biological children, would have a GOOD FINISHING, if today he retires, and assumes the emeritus status of the church, as well as begins to play the advisory role to the new leadership of the church. This will also concretize the biblical truth that, the church belongs to JESUS CHRIST, and that, no one is indispensable in the growth and success of the church. THINK ABOUT IT!

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu-DOWNFALL OF LUCIFER

DOWNFALL OF LUCIFER 

Lucifer was first class in beauty and brightness in the angelic order, but unfortunately allowed himself to be destroyed by the same beauty. In keeping with this, the Scripture talks of him, when it says, "you were perfect in your ways from the day that your were created, till iniquity was found in you. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty, you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I will cast you to the ground, I will lay you before kings, that they may behold you". Lucifer was equally destroyed by inordinate ambition, which informed his attempted coup against the GOD of heaven and earth, who is forever irreplaceable. To this end, the Scripture equally cites his intrapersonal communication, in which he says in his heart,..."I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of GOD: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet you shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit".  From the narrative above, it becomes obvious that, unguarded sense of beauty can lead to pride and unnecessary self-importance, which may eventually lead to self-exaltation that disregard GOD and HIS WORD, which is definitely a disenthronement of GOD in one's life. For your information, please, observe that, unguarded sense of BEAUTY, which leads to unnecessary self-importance, PRIDE, which leads to self-exaltation, as well as INORDINATE AMBITION, which results in dethronement and the rejection of GOD and HIS HOLY principles in one's life, in an attempt to attain certain earthly goals, are some of the Luciferian meal coupons that drag to the pit of hell. REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL! (See Isaiah 14:12-16 and Ezekiel 28:15-17).

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu--GENOCIDAL MONARCH AND THE ANGEL OF JUDGEMENT

GENOCIDAL MONARCH AND
THE ANGEL OF JUDGEMENT:
King Herod was the head of a godless dynasty, notorious for evil and godless rule. The Scripture records that at certain point, he decided to persecute the church, especially its principal leaders, which resulted in the killing of James, the brother of John. The king in his genocidal move, also arrested and put the Apostle Peter in prison, hoping to have executed him after Easter. However, in answer to the prayers of the saints, GOD miraculously delivered the apostle from the prison custody. But, this angered Herod to execute every prison guard on duty during Peter's detention. This is tantamount to the Nigerian situation, as well as in other parts of the world, where the Islamic dynasties and jihadists are fueling Christian genocide, in attempts to islamize or fully control their countries with Islamic ideology. Yes, King Herod and his cronies to some extent blindly considered themselves as having upper hands in their attempts to have annihilated the Christian Faith, just as the Islamic fundamentalist in Nigeria, and elsewhere think they have advantage over Christianity, yet, without the knowledge of the impending judgement that would soon consume  their monarchs and every stronghold. Surely, the judgment came on King Herod, as the Scripture narrates that,..."upon a set day, Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the LORD smote him, because he gave not GOD the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost". In keeping with this, the Christian Faithfuls should strongly pray against the Christian genocide in Nigeria, and in every part of the world, with strong faith that GOD will definitely pull down the Islamic forces that have risen against the Christendom, bearing also in mind that, as essential as prayers may be in today's world, there is the need to equip themselves for self-defence, in case of any physical aggression from the enemies of the Christian Faith. In other words, Christians must always be prepared for any physical combat against those who physically fight to destroy their faith, as they wait for GOD'S judgement on the enemies of their faith, in answer to their prayers. This is because the church in primitive era is different from the church of today. PLEASE, BE INFORMED! (See Acts 12:1-24).

Prof Ben Onyeukwu NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT AND UNGODLY GOVERNANCE

NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT
AND UNGODLY GOVERNANCE:
Good governance is always a product of legitimate government, inspired by principles of godliness in godly politicians, as well as formed through legitimate means, devoid of rigging and political manoeuvring. This is the only type of government that carries the imprint and approval of the LORD GOD of heaven and earth.     In keeping with this DIVINE standards, the Holy Scripture  instructs every citizen to be loyal to civil authorities, noting that, there is no authority except from GOD, and that, those which exist, are by GOD'S appointment, and so one who resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
   By way of definition, political governance is a specific way by which a political system is ruled. This implies that, godly governance could hold sway in government administered by godly people, whereas ungodly governance is likely to reign in the government of ungodly persons. For your information, the basic evidence of ungodly governance, is the absence of the rule-of-law in any political administration. Here, the Nigerian Government is specifically portrayed, if the allegations variously levelled against it, in recent times become positive. For instance, if the allegation that Nigerian Government is secretly sponsoring terrorism, or any genocidal movement, aimed at eliminating Christians in the country by those who are in power, then ungodly governance is established in the Nigerian State. Again, if the Nigerian State has deliberately deleted the Igbo history in its school curriculum as a way of subjugating the Igbo race, it becomes publishable that, the government of Nigeria carries the emblem of ungodly governance. Furthermore, if the allegation of the Nigerian Government trying to bribe the United States Congress, to cover up the alleged Christian genocide in the country becomes real, then the reputation of the country becomes destroyed by ungodly governance. Also, if the allegations that the Nigerian Government bribed the Finnish Government, as well as the Nigerian Judiciary, to imprison Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa, turn out to be true, it becomes obvious the Nigeria is taking a global lead, in ungodly governance.
   Having cited the above, it becomes timely to state that, in spite of the fact that GOD tells the citizens of every country to be subject to civil authorities, there is no rule that canvasses for such obedience, in absence of good governance. Rather, the Holy Scripture, also admonishes that, in the absence of the rule-of- law, "we ought to obey GOD rather than men". (See Acts 5:29 and Romans 13:1-7).

PASTOR LAZURUS MUOKA AND A 3RD WIFE

PASTOR LAZURUS MUOKA
AND A 3RD WIFE:
News of Pastor Lazurus Muoka of the Lord's Chosen Charismatic Ministry, taking a third or fourth wife is not a problem, if he is innocent of the odds that claimed the dead wives. But, it is so strange to notice the serial deaths of the wives of a pastor who is said to be anointed for the deliverance of the people oppressed by demons and death. If one may ask, is the anointing of the pastar designed to deliver others, without the members of his own family, or is the whole thing a scam? This question is not an indictment menu, but a fair probe to find out, if the pastor himself, and his family members need deliverance from powers that may be above his own level of anointing. Also, it is important that Pastor Muoka himself looks inwards, to find out if there is any secrecy, knowingly or unknowingly, that may have been causing this devastating and unpleasant happenings, and accordingly take necessary actions to stop a repeat of the calamity. Having said this, the writer prays that GOD reveals the cause of this serial deaths of the wives of this hallowed pastor, as well as proffer permanent solution to the problem, and requests that, every member of the BODY of CHRIST, in solidarity, prays the same, or similar prayers, all in the NAME of JESUS CHRIST, Amen!

CORRECT REPLY OF PROF. BEN ONYEUKWU TO EDIFY COORDINATOR

Mr Uche Nwaekpe,

National Secretary of AFED

and Coordinator Edify Programmes in Nigeria.

My name is Prof Ben Onyeukwu, founder/proprietor of Crown Scientific Seminary of Nigeria (CSSN) International Schools Limited. 

Dear Uche,

   I'm glad to see your shaky clarifications on the GRANT-LOAN controversy of the Edify group. In your assertion you posited that you never talked of GRANT, but soft loan. But, I'm sure in your official capacity as the Coordinator of the Edify programmes in Nigeria, the first time I heard you talked of Soft Loan was at Tripod Hotel, where you made mentioned of Soft Loan, which will be repayable from three years. If I may ask, where is that promise? Why is the soft loan not obtainable today? And, why are we now talking of loan with harsh conditions?

   Prior to the Tripod Hotel programmes, the hopeless hope of GRANT had been very must talked about. The question now is, who introduced the concept of GRANT, without your notice? Was it from other members of Edify team? Or whether is from AFED officials, who may have dangled the GRANT menu, as a BAIT to lure the unsuspecting proprietors to your programme? This is subject to your investigation. For, as a matter of concrete findings, over 80% of the people that attended your programmes came with the illusion of the so called GRANT. You can also find out!

   Furthermore, if the Soft Loan thing came, as late as the time of the Tripod Hotel programme, don't you think, it was an administrative lapse, on your part, to have not started talking of soft loan from the very beginning of the training, or that you knew about the GRANT saga, but allowed it to thrive, as a way of sustaining your desired attendance target. And, don't you equally think that, your present analysis which seeks to portray Edify Nigeria's loan as the LOWEST, which is not true, was deliberately delayed, or rather a hidden agenda , to trap uninformed proprietors into what they don't really understand.

   Finally, your citation of people in Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt and Ogun State, to have today, taken advantage of Edify Loan, while people (probably like me), are busy talking of GRANT, shows you do not really know the target audience of the Edify Nigeria programme. I am sure, the main target audience for the Edify Loan, are the low income school proprietors. So, talking of people in the aforementioned cities or State, as today's beneficiaries of the loan, certainly shows that, you are misfiring. I put it to you, by dint of what is in the menu of the Edify Loan today, no low income proprietor in the hinterland or villages in Imo State or elsewhere, which the loan is meant for, can afford the service. If, it is so, what then, is the relevance of the whole exercise?

EDIFY NIGERIA AND EDU-LOAN

EDIFY NIGERIA
AND EDU-LOAN
--A Test of Integrity
By Prof. Ben Onyeukwu

In recent time, the Association for Formidable Educational Development (AFED), was ushered into a real time blessing, when it came in contact with Edify Nigeria, which really transformed the fortunes of its proprietors, who are managers of low income schools. In fact, Edify Nigeria was awesome in the training and educational programmes, which it rendered to these cited private school owners. Without mincing words, the five-star hotel Venues slated for the training periods, and the unforgettable sumptuous meals enjoyed by participants during each training session, will remain evergreen in the memories of those who were privileged to be part of the training.
   However, the attention of these hallowed education partners needs to be drawn to what may have been imported by unscrupulous elements, which seems to have thrown a dent on the reputation of Edify Nigeria. Having said this, the writer wishes to point out what may be deemed an omission, or a misleading piece of advice which may not have been part of the original plan. For instance, some folks who participated in the Edify's lofty programmes talk of GRANT, not LOAN, as what the Edify organization promised them in the process of the training, and so, are surprised to notice a change after the training. Equally, they express concern over policy shifts, which moved from GRANT to soft LOAN, from soft LOAN to one digit LOAN, from one digit LOAN, to now stringent conditions before the LOAN can be obtained. They express the fact that, LOAN is not help, but bandage, It is, as well not a relief, but a burden. Also, LOAN is a business of the creditor, which yields interest as profit, and can never be referred to as help. Furthermore, the impression of the Edify Staff who visited AFED schools, which indicates that, "school proprietors who successfully implement what was learnt during Edify training may not need a loan", may be suggestive that, loan should not be expected. All the above, point to ethical question, which Edify Nigeria needs to clarify.
   Finally, Edify Nigeria should reconsider its present stance, if it has beforehand made a promise to offer GRANT after training, as any change from the original promise, will definitely cast a shadow of doubt on the integrity of this internationally acclaimed Christian organization, known for its lofty ethical standards. And, by way of conclusion, the writer and every stakeholder, sincerely thank the Edify group, for becoming a blessing to the low income school proprietors in Nigeria. Shalom!

Prof Ben Onyeukwu NIGERIA AND THE POLITICS OF EFCC

NIGERIA AND THE POLITICS OF EFCC:

   The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Nigeria was established in 2003 by President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration, specifically through the EFCC Act of 2002, which was signed into law on December 13, 2002, and became effective in 2003.

   The commission was established to combat financial crimes, corruption, and money laundering. It's primary purposes include, Investigating financial crimes, probing cases of corruption, embezzlement, and other financial offenses.

It equally has the mandate of prosecuting offenders: bringing perpetrators to justice and recovering stolen assets. 

   The institution was also established to prevent corruption,  educating the public and promoting transparency in government dealings, as well as has the mandate of recovering stolen assets, retrieving looted funds and assets hidden abroad, with the aims to promote economic stability, good governance, and trust in institutions.

   But, since inception, there have been allegations of political witch-hunt levelled against the EFCC, as Critics often refer to the institution as government tool for selective justice, which targets the opposition politicians, but ignores corruption cases involving party members. Critics equally cite lack of transparency, often manipulated in apaque investigations and persecutions, leading to concerns about witch-hunting.

   Nevertheless, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has achieved significant milestones in combating corruption and financial crimes in Nigeria. According to Meta Artificial Intelligence platform, the organization has secured over 13,000 convictions since its establishment in 2003, with 4,111 convictions in 2024 alone. The commission has recovered over N853 billion and approximately $105 million in assets. It has investigated and prosecuted high-profile cases, including the detention of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai over an alleged N432 billion corruption probe. 

   Yes, the commission's efforts have contributed to strengthening Nigeria's anti-corruption framework. Yet, the present day observers still allege that the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may also be guilty of using the EFCC against the opposition party members, with the objective of securing political victory for the ruling party. This is an allegation that Nigerian citizens definitely require urgent clarification from the government.

   Good governance is always a product of legitimate government, inspired by principles of godliness in godly politicians, as well as formed through legitimate means, devoid of rigging and political manoeuvring. This is the only type of government that carries the imprint and approval of the LORD GOD of heaven and earth.     In keeping with this DIVINE standards, the Holy Scripture  instructs every citizen to be loyal to civil authorities, noting that, there is no authority except from GOD, and that, those which exist, are by GOD'S appointment, and so one who resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

   By way of definition, political governance is a specific way by which a political system is ruled. This implies that, godly governance could hold sway in government administered by godly people, whereas ungodly governance is likely to reign in the government of ungodly persons. For your information, the basic evidence of ungodly governance, is the absence of the rule-of-law in any political administration. Here, the Nigerian Government is specifically portrayed, if the allegations variously levelled against it, in recent times become positive. For instance, if the allegation that Nigerian Government is secretly sponsoring terrorism, or any genocidal movement, aimed at eliminating Christians in the country by those who are in power, then ungodly governance is established in the Nigerian State. Again, if the Nigerian State has deliberately deleted the Igbo history in its school curriculum as a way of subjugating the Igbo race, it becomes publishable that, the government of Nigeria carries the emblem of ungodly governance. Furthermore, if the allegation of the Nigerian Government trying to bribe the United States Congress, to cover up the alleged Christian genocide in the country becomes real, then the reputation of the country becomes destroyed by ungodly governance. Also, if the allegations that the Nigerian Government bribed the Finnish Government, as well as the Nigerian Judiciary, to imprison Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa, turn out to be true, it becomes obvious the Nigeria is taking a global lead, in ungodly governance.

   Having cited the above, it becomes timely to state that, in spite of the fact that GOD tells the citizens of every country to be subject to civil authorities, there is no rule that canvasses for such obedience, in absence of good governance. Rather, the Holy Scripture, also admonishes that, in the absence of the rule-of- law, "we ought to obey GOD rather than men". (See Acts 5:29 and Romans 13:1-7).

Prof Ben Onyeukwu DESTROYED UNITY

DESTROYED UNITY:

The unity of Nigeria would have been formidable, if those who received power from the colonial masters, at independence, adhered to the concept of, "in brotherhood we stand", as enshrined in the Nigeria's independence national anthem. But, instead of keeping faith with the tenets of the principles of brotherhood, design to have held the country together, they rather chose the path that destroyed the foundation of the proposed unity. 

   It is alleged that the same region of the Nigerian State, who today, chant the indivisibility of the country, were the people that played the inglorious role that enforced the failure of the 1966 ad hoc national conference, designed to discuss Nigeria's political future. Also, the Aburi Conference of 1967, which recommended a confederation structure for the nation was equally dropped by the same people, in favour of the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, which massacred millions of people from both sides.

   Furthermore, the 2005 National Political Reform Conference (NPRC), convened by President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration to discuss constitutional reforms and address issues affecting the country, as well as the 2014 National Conference, inaugurated by President Goodluck Jonathan on March 17, 2014, to discuss Nigeria's future and address issues like power devolution, national security, and economic development, were all allegedly downplayed by the region under review. Recently, there has been a call for a Sovereign National Conference (SNC) to tackle marginalization and disunity, by a notable advocate. To this end, the Chief Afe Babalola's call for a SNC in January 2026 to address the country's problems, is outstanding, but may have come too late, since it came at highest point of the wounds of the high-handedness of the same people who have deliberately refused to adhere to the principles of unity since independence.

   Definitely, with the high level of the alleged Islamic agenda, which prompts the concept of christian genocide, as well as the stern agitations of Oduduwa and Biafran Republics, it becomes too hard to raise hope for Nigeria's continued unity.

NIGERIAN LEADERS AND PRODIGALITY

NIGERIAN LEADERS 

AND PRODIGALITY:

Biblically speaking, the prodigal son has a record of taking his family wealth to a far away country to squander, just as many Nigerian political leaders and cronies of today, carry the notoriety of embezzling the country's wealth to foreign nations for a lavished lifestyle, leaving  other citizens to wallow in abject poverty. Available records from Meta Artificial Intelligence platform show that, the following Nigerian politicians and cronies have properties in  far away Dubai. For example,

   Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and his daughter, Hadiza, own several properties in Dubai, including a three-bedroom flat estimated at $1.23 million at Palm Tower and a one-bedroom flat at Trade Centre Second.

   Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, Vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, linked to eight properties valued at $2.28 million in posh areas like Burj Khalifa and Al Yalayiss.

   Nasir El-Rufai, former Governor of Kaduna State, owns a four-bedroom apartment estimated at $193,084 at Al Hebiah Third.

    Ahmed Markafi,  former Governor of Kaduna State, linked to a property at Burj Khalifa valued at $822,016.

   Attahiru Bafarawa, former Governor of Sokoto State, owns seven properties valued at $1.48 million and a property at Palm Jumeirah estimated at $750,112.

   Ike Ekweremadu, former Deputy Senate President, linked to five properties in Dubai.

   Other notable mentions also show that,

   Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, founded offshore companies in tax havens and owns a trust. 

   Stella Oduah, former Minister of Aviation, owns properties in London worth £6.7 million under the International Trading and Logistics Company Limited.

   Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, Governor of Kebbi State, involved in offshore dealings and accused of helping former dictator Sani Abacha launder stolen billions.

   David Mark, former Senate President, linked to eight offshore companies on the British Virgin Island.

   Adegboyega Oyetola, Governor of Osun State, owns a company, Aranda Overseas Corporation, which purchased a London mansion for 9 million Euros, to mention but a few, as there are heart-rending statistics that point to many Nigerian politicians and friends as having foreign accounts with billions of hard currencies, in various international banks and financial houses, as well as choice properties, across the globe.

   Yet, these prodigal Nigerian leaders will always adduce the rhetorics of having the vision of building a better and prosperous Nigeria. But, can those who siphon their country's wealth to other countries build a strong economy that could facilitate the development of infrastructures in their fatherland? I think, this is not possible. What they achieve in their greed, whether they know it or not, is to advance the development of the countries, where they hope to relocate, if the long arms of the law attempt to catch up with them. This is the principal reason why the Nigerian State is recurrinly retrogressive, and can never recover, unless these hardened criminals are put out of the Nigerian political space or come to their senses, and say, I will arise and get back to my country, and confess to my country, by declaring to the government, I have sinned against GOD and against my country, and now, willing to turn a new leaf, if pardoned. For this to happen, Nigeria needs a national rebirth. And, this could begin from you. (See Luke 15:11-24).

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu DEEPER LIFE BIBLE CHURCH AND CHRISTMAS SAGA

DEEPER LIFE BIBLE CHURCH 

AND CHRISTMAS SAGA:

   The often declaration of Pastor W.F. Kumuyi of Christmas as having a  heathenish origin, may be true, yet it does not make him and his church holy, but sanctimonious. The Deeper Life Ministry's dos and don'ts form of Christianity makes the church a show of legalism, and not a church that flows from the fountains of the HOLY SPIRIT.

   Pastor Kumuyi should get the understanding that if Christmas seasons could influence him and his church to organize their Christian Retreat programmes during Christmas dates and periods, when they share the Word of GOD, cook and eat delicious meals in camps, as others do in their homes and offices, it then means that they acknowledge and celebrate Christmas more than every other religious group which they consider as have goofed. In fact, the Deeper Life Bible Church and the likes, are the actual people celebrating Christmas in it's essence and practice.

   But, does Christmas celebrations add or reduce one's religious values, where one celebrates it without singing against GOD? The simple answer is NO. Furthermore, does staying in camps for retreats during Christmas periods, as a way of displaying a form of religious superiority or showmanship, makes anyone a better Christian? The answer is also No. Also, will GOD send people to hell simply because they were involved in Christmas celebrations? Again the answer is NO. If all the above answers are in the negative, then what is Pastor Kumuyi really driving at? I think Kumuyi should now be faced with the facts of correcting the unprintable errors he infused into the Body of CHRIST, instead of beating about the bush. 

   Without mincing words, this mathematician turned pastor, should be courageous to restitute the church members of other ministries and missions, who his fellow pastors allowed to attend his Deeper Life teachings, that he turned into becoming members of his now, Deeper Life Bible Church. I think that is the highest form of sheep-stealing that requires a hearty restitution, instead of the distractions of Christmas or no Christmas inclinations.

   Pastor Kumuyi should equally look inwards, and correct most of his misleading teachings and the segregational postures he planted in his church members, against the society and other members of the Body of CHRIST. He should, as well apologize to the world and the Christendom, for misleading many into believing that a GOD-giving piece of technology, viz; television, was a "Devil's box." This Deeper Life apex pastor should be aware that the world and the Body of CHRIST are highly disappointed, noticing his present political dealings and romance with politicians, which portray him as now compromising the faith.

   Finally, pastor Kumuyi should, also bear in mind that even the Easier Retreats he conducts during Easter seasons is influenced by the Church Calendar, initiated by the Catholic Church, which he allegedly considers as a mission without a sound faith or doctrines. Yet, JESUS CHRIST did not ask us to celebrate his resurrection, but his death, through Holy Communion. And, if his Easter Retreats are tailored towards the Easter celebrations, then he should know that we are still in the world, influenced by certain systems that may not be sinful, and not yet in heaven, where every order is perfect. Certainly what matters most now is, be holy, not sanctimonious, for the LORD is HOLY.

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu THE ADULTERATED BLOOD

THE ADULTERATED BLOOD:

 Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is at it again. Now he begins his narrative with the assertion that, he is a full blooded Igbo. But, he should know that the blood of the so many, "so called Igbo" is tainted with impurities, informed by pre-marital or extramarital infidelity. However, the above expression, is a fair comment, and not a reference to the person of the senator.

   Senator Orji Uzor Kalu must not take the Igbo people as fools. He must be made to understand vividly that we are very much acquainted with our history, and have a fair knowledge of the DNA of some of our prominent ones. So, tactically changing his first narrative, "Ojukwu told me a second Biafra war is unnecessary" to a much more dubious one, "Ojukwu told me that "the first struggle for Biafra was necessary, that the second one is longer necessary," shows a deceitful heart desperate to deceive.  

  The senator further pushes his baseless rethorics, as he said, “even if these boys want Biafra, who are you going to rule when you kill all the Igbos?...At this juncture, his attention should be directed to the confession of Governor Hope Uzodinma that, the Biafran boys do not kill, that the insecurity in Imo State, for example, had been the handiwork of unscrupulous politicians, importing unknown gunmen from other states, to cause mayhem in the state. Having cited the above, I think Orji Uzor Kalu is better placed to tell us the "game plan"  that fueled insecurity in Southeast, probably to stop the Biafran agitation.

    His expression, “I thought with what happened to Nnamdi Kanu, these boys should come together in a table and say, how do we get peace to resolve this matter politically? And not still talking tough as they are trying to behave." readily exposes his frustrations in their political antics to imprison Nnamdi Kanu, to pave way for the "so called" political solution, which they supposed would have given them upper hand, but never worked. And, thinking that life imprisonment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would stop the Biafran agitation, is daydreaming. 

   Orji Uzor Kalu's suggestion for a referendum is unthinkable, as he says, “So I think even if they want Biafra, they should drop their arms and go with their flags and demand for what they want and negotiate for it and talk for a referendum," as this readily exposes further his insincerity, as well as marks him out as a person never to be trusted. But, if one may ask, when has Senator Orji Uzor Kalu ever mentioned Biafra in the Senate, let alone talking of referendum, which they often claim has no place in the Nigerian constitution. Who is then, fooling who? 

   On a shaky note, the brainwashed senator said, “Even the man that fought the civil war, the wife is saying the same thing I’m saying. Minister Bianca Ojukwu knows the thought of her husband, and nobody will believe on the destruction of Igbo land. Enough is enough. This remark calls for some salient questions, and if the writer may ask, how old was Bianca Ojukwu during the Biafra-Nigeria civil war? And, when did Ojukwu marry her? Yes, it is reasonable to believe that, good and sincere answers to the above questions will readily reveal that Bianca Ojukwu has but a fint knowledge of the war, which makes it easy for the enemies of Biafra to use her as a subversive tool, against the Biafran struggle.

   In conclusion, the Abia senator advises, “Let us stop destroying ourselves. Let us stop destroying our properties. Let us stop destroying what we have. “Look, there is no more commerce in the entire Igbo land. How are we going to live? Things are difficult. Things are very bad for people living there. So how are we going to live? These are the issues. To this end, our full Igbo blooded senator should take to heart that, it is better to die of hunger, than to die as slaves or second class citizens in our father land. It is Biafra or nothing!

Prof Ben Onyeukwu POSTHUMOUS BIRTHDAY

POSTHUMOUS BIRTHDAY: 

The posthumous birthday, as observed by the Overcomers Christian Mission in memory of the late general overseer of the church, Archbishop Alexander Ezeugo Ekewuba, is a new way of gradually introducing idol worship in the Body of CHRIST. This, if not checked, could lead to unwarranted adoration of the dead, and could trigger off the unholy attitude of praying in his name or going to his grave  in search of certain particles, in the name of tapping his anointing. Archbishop Ezeugo had played a successful role in the ministry of the LORD, and his church, and other established foundations remain his unforgettable legacies. He does not need post-mortem birthday to be remembered. What is important now, is a concerted efforts in maintaining and advancing the good works he left behind. Furthermore, the world need to see or listen to some of his audio-visual messages, as well as read his christian literatures, and not the unbiblical ceremony of his POSTHUMOUS BIRTHDAY.

Prof Ben Onyeukwu BEAUTY WITHOUT SUBSTANCE

BEAUTY WITHOUT SUBSTANCE:

Bianca Ojukwu is a depiction of beauty without substance. She is a woman of outward charms, but of inward propensity of betrayal. She is a hen that devours and feeds on the carcasses of her chicks. Her romance with the Nigerian and Finnish Governments that nailed Simon Ekpa to a six-year jail term in Finland is an outstanding coronation of her above cited status. Here, in Nigeria, her mindless role in the slaughter of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to a life imprisonment jail term, and her handshake with the major enemies of the Biafran Nation, that saluted her for a work well done, is another heartbreaking wound that will be too hard to heal. Nevertheless, we, as Biafrans, still regard her as our own, but our distant own. We still hope to see her change, and become a real mother of the Biafran Nation, which her late husband, Ikemba Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu, is the founder. Our expectation to have her back in a hearty repentance, is now that the struggle for the restoration of Biafra is still on, and will expire after now. SHALOM!

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu COGNITIVE DECLINE

COGNITIVE DECLINE:

If the alleged statement, "There will be no need for Biafra again, All Southeast Governors are now supporting President Tinubu,” is truly the statement of Dr David Umahi, a former governor of Ebonyi State, it then means that he carries traces of a disturbing cognitive decline.

   It is obvious and common knowledge that Dr. David Umahi has never a time supported the Biafran project, but for him to say that the Biafran struggle was no longer necessary on the premise that all Southeast Governors are now supporting Tinubu, really shows he is no longer in touch with reality. 

   Let me believe that Dr. Umahi was temporarily impired by the series of frustrations informed by his failed attempts to stop the tide of the Biafran struggle, and would soon regain his logical abilities. If not, he needs a serious medical and psychological attention. 

   In fact, It baffles to see that, Dr. Umahi who is in position to deduce that, despite the unwarranted incarceration and life imprisonment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, that he has successfully won the battle for the Biafran restoration. Dr. Umahi should be formally informed that in Southeast, we are no longer interested or talking of APC fraudulent Nigerian politics, but are now set to usher in the Biafran administration, which must soon become the new order.

  By way of conclusion, let it be known that, all former governors of Southeast are Biafrans. Dr. David Umahi is a former Southeast Governor. Therefore, Dr. David Umahi is a Biafran. You are welcomed!

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu ENEMY WITHIN

ENEMY WITHIN:

   One of the most disturbing stumbling-blocks in any freedom fighting movement are the enemies among the people who seek freedom. These moles in sheepfold are sometimes not noticed at the beginning, or even at the middle of the struggle. They often show up or declare themselves when they think the enemies have upper hands in the struggle. These are the likes of Nze Tobe Osigwe, who is now ranting in the supposition that the life imprisonment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has ended the Biafran struggle. 

   This mentally and spiritually blind Nze Osigwe should know that every bit of his narrative against Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB/ESN depicts him as a fellow without the basic knowledge of the Igbo story in Nigeria. His unprintable misrepresentation of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and his false narrative on the Biafran struggle for freedom demonstrates him as a prodigal son, but could be forgiven whenever he comes to his senses and recounts his acts of prodigality against his own people.

   Nze Osigwe, in defense of the so called "one Nigeria," which he cannot even tell whose interest it truly represents, foolishly portrayed his own in bad light. But, in Igbo Land, I think the "Nze" title is only conferred on people with proven integrity and wisdom, which Nze Osigwe is the opposite. If this Igbo born title holder was truly wise, he would have learnt one or two things from his contemporaries from other parts of the country. 

   Dear Nze Osigwe, Abba Kyari committed a serious punishable crime in Nigeria, have you ever heard any Northern title holder painting him black in public space? Sunday Igboho did the same or similar things Nnamdi Kanu is accused of, have you ever seen a Yoruba man condemning him before people of other parts of the country? Now tell me why you, Nze Osigwe should not be termed foolish! It may interest you to know that, Biafra is a done deal, courtesy of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's strategic IPOB/ESN movement.

   Finally, for the benefit of doubt, below, is also the unwarranted blackmail of Nze Osigwe against Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB/ESN that provoked this reply. Please, read his full message;

"‎I am constrained to align with those who opine that Nnamdi Kanu took Ala Igbo twenty years backward. 

‎

‎Unfortunately, it appears many Ndi Igbo do not share this view. Rather, they see Nnamdi Kanu more like a hero, a saviour and a prophet to Ndi Igbo. 

‎

‎It is instructive to note that the Christian theology which many modern Ndi Igbo subscribe to submitted, a prophet has no honour in his homeland. 

‎

‎The reason for this rejection by the people towards their own prophet is clear. A prophet tells his people uncomfortable truth difficult to swallow. It is the stinging nature of this uncomfortable truth that the pushes the people to dislike and dishonour the prophet. 

‎

‎Please make no mistakes, the present well deserved incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu should not by any stretch of sensible imagination be translated as a prophet being dishonored. Rather, it is a popular criminal getting his due justice. 

‎

‎Again, I defer to the Christian Bible. In the Christian Bible, we saw how Jesus was hated not just by the Pharisees and Sadducees who were the religious cum political elites of his day. 

‎

‎Jesus was recorded to have been disliked by the ordinary everyday people whom he freely fed to the extent they demanded a criminal should be released while Jesus who was telling them their errors be hanged instead. 

‎

‎If I am permitted to use this Jewish historical scenario to apply to the present day Igbos, I will liken Nnamdi Kanu who is already in jail to the criminal the Jewish people pleaded to be released for them. 

‎

‎The job of criminal is to take up arms and the job of a prophet/teacher is to chastise with words. The tool of prophecy is simply words and the tool of criminality is arms. 

‎

‎It is on irrefutable record Mr. Nnamdi went soliciting for dangerous arms. This very act forecloses him as a teacher or prophet. 

‎

‎For the avoidance of doubt, it is imperative I now state in clear terms how Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, criminal and unprophetic venture took Igbos twenty years backward;

‎

‎1. Since his agitation began there have been massive capital and industrial flight from Ala Igbo.

‎

‎2. Many Igbo communities have been sacked with public buildings, schools, health centers, private building aggressively destroyed. 

‎

‎3. A lot of unnecessary bloodshed of innocent Igbo people who were labeled saboteurs have been shed.

‎

‎4. A lot ordinary and not so ordinary Igbos are afraid to speak their true minds in respect to the activities of the Mr. Kanu led terrorist groups known as IPOB/ESN. 

‎

‎5. Many clowns have suddenly assumed liberators because Mr. Kanu directly or indirectly made instrument of coercion available to them.

‎

‎6. There have been an unprecedented rise in criminal activities in Ala Igbo to the extent many Igbo areas are no go areas. 

‎

‎7. The activities of policemen who are legally tasked with the public maintenance of law and order have been greatly curtailed as they are easy victims of IPOB terrorism. 

‎

‎8. Igbos have been put in a state of neither here nor there. We are not really in Nigeria and we are not in our own independent nation. We are practically a beast of no nation! 

‎

‎9. An average Onye Igbo hurl and throw insult at the slightest of disagreement. We have lost our sense of politeness or decorum since Mr. Kanu appeared with his uncouth demagoguery. 

‎

‎For a character like Mr. Nnamdi Kanu who came to steal, to kill and to destroy, to command groundswell loyalty in Ala Igbo, shows how low we sunk. 

‎

‎I am inclined to believe it will take we the Igbos many years to realize we disgraced our race and ancestors by deifying an unhinged mind. 

‎

‎How we Ndi Igbo moved from Nnamdi Azikiwe to Nnamdi Kanu is one great historical evidence that we Ndi Igbo are in Uga Azi. A historical period were matured adults think, talk and behave like children. 

‎

‎I pray and honestly look forward to us coming out from this Uga Azi and move into Uga Anwu. 

‎

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu UNCLEAN CLEANER

UNCLEAN CLEANER:

Joe Igbokwe is one of the Igbo deviants that would be too hard to forgive, considering his deadly activities against the Igbo race. Joe Igbokwe is a man of unclean lips, dwelling with people of unclean lips, where his spirit, soul and body have been immersed with every form of unclean behaviour. As an environmental staff of Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe has done well for the state, in cleaning up environmental filth, yet with an attitude worse than the pervasive smells of the dirtiest gutters in Lagos State. 

   Joe Igbokwe is a political jobber, who throws his stones at his people, in search of favour from his slave masters. He was at the highest heights of this antics during, and after the 2023 elections, with the objective to have secured a political appointment. Thus, he allegedly took Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB/ESN to the cleaners, in an attempt to have been favoured. But, his political dream failed to the point that he was even denied  an ambassadorial slot, an appointment which is often an assignment for the irrelevant, or political rejects.

   Having noticed his outright rejection, he now, in his frustrations tries again to label IPOB, ESN and BLF, to see if he could be allowed to pick the crumbs that fall from his master's table. According to Igbokwe "If you belong to IPOB, ESN, UGM and BDF in the South East please go and throw your guns into River Niger or burn them to ashes. PBAT and RIBADU are coming for you. There will be no place for you to hide"...

   But, Joe Igbokwe should rightly be informed that Biafra is a done deal, and that, it is time for all the prodigal sons and daughters of Biafra are expected to repent or face the wrath of the incoming Biafran government. A stitch in time saves nine!

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu DR. ORJI UZOR KALU AND HIS INDEFENSIBLE POLITICAL FALSEHOOD

DR. ORJI UZOR KALU

AND HIS INDEFENSIBLE 

POLITICAL FALSEHOOD:

   It is easy to initiate a lie or falsehood in any human endeavour, but impossible to turn a lie into a defensible truth. This is what Dr. Orji Uzor Kanu, a former governor of Abia State, and a present day senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is suffering today, in trying to explain away the Biafran project. In his first outing, Orji Kalu said, "Ojukwu told me, a second Biafran war is not necessary," as he quickly changed in his second ranting that, "Ojukwu to him that, a second agitation for Biafra is not necessary. "Yet, in another alleged false menu, he claims that, "President Tinubu had assured him of an Igbo presidency," 

   Having stated the above, the writer deems it proper to equally present the full gist of Dr Orji Uzor Kalu's narrative, which reads as follows; "I acknowledge that Nigeria has not been fair to the Igbo people. However, that alone is not enough reason to fight against Nigeria in the name of Biafra—especially now that President Tinubu has assured me of an Igbo presidency. It would be ungrateful of me to support the breakup of Nigeria after all the benefits I have received from the country,” — Orji Uzor Kalu

   From Orji Uzor Kanu's present treatise, one can easily deduce that he is either illogical or deliberately dubious in his defense for a country he says had not been fair to Igbo people. There is no gainsaying the fact that, the Igbo nation has been subjected to untold hardships and inhuman treatments by the Nigerian successive governments, of Yoruba- Hausa-Fulani, which Dr. Kalu has been a prominent functionary. 

   If one may ask, as a former governor of Abia State, what positive impact in the state could be traced to the eight years of federal allocation received during Dr Orji Uzor Kalu's two terms in office? As a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in today's political dispensation, can Abia people point to any tangible project that Orji Uzor Kalu had done in his senatorial zone? 

   If all the aforementioned are but window-dressing, who then is not fair to the Igbo people, Nigeria, or Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and the likes? Probing further,  Orji Uzor Kalu's madness for "one Nigeria" may have been informed by the perceived consequences of his betrayal of Indigbo in the Nigerian State, when the Biafran government takes over power. Yes, the Biafran administration will be hard on all betrayers or saboteurs of the Biafran struggle. And, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu should note that, this will never be compromised, unless they repent now.

   Furthermore, a quick revision of Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu's alleged falsified paper tract would help bring his hidden agenda and inconsistency to light. In his words,..."Nigeria has not been fair to the Igbo people. However, that alone is not enough reason to fight against Nigeria in the name of Biafra,...readily shows that Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is a willing, and helpless slave of his slave masters, who he wants  Ndigbo to perpetually serve as second class citizens, simply because he feels favoured by those who are robbers of the inheritance of his own people. In continuation, Senator Kalu says he would not give up his inordinate ambition of "one Nigeria,... "especially now that President Tinubu has assured him of an Igbo presidency, which equally, demonstrates his inability to learn from history, the unfaithfulness of people of the extraction of the person he claims assured him of the "so called" Igbo presidency, probably with no memory of Ojukwu-Awolowo agreement that later became the major Igbo nightmare in Nigeria. 

  Finally, Dr. Kalu beggerly submits that, it would be ungratefulness on his part to support the breakup of Nigeria after all the benefits he had received from the country,” Now observe Orji Uzor Kalu's inconsistency and bareface hypocrisy. A moment ago, Orji Uzor Kalu expressed his displeasure of Nigeria not being fair to Igbo people, now he talks of his benefits from the same country, and so reveals the benefits he receives from Nigeria for betraying Ndigbo. WHO IS FOOLING WHO?

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu A HEARTLESS MONSTER

A HEARTLESS MONSTER:

   With Sheik Gumi as a citizen of Nigeria, the country is bedevilled with one of the most terrifying and dangerous creatures, who hids under the toga of "Islamic Clericalism"  to commit crimes against GOD and humanity. Sheik Gumi is a devouring monster, an ill omen in the country of his birth, whose greed for money and materials is incurable, and could lead him to any form of criminality, especially in the name of defending Fulani Bandits. 

   Gumi's alleged recent outburst that, "they should have sentenced Nnamdi Kanu by hanging, stressing that, Nnamdi Kanu is a danger to Nigeria, while bandits are freedom fighters who are peaceful and believe in Nigeria" readily reveals him as a heartless and insincere deadly inhuman creature, who parades himself as a lover of Nigeria, but one of the main destroyers of the country. If not, why must Gumi describe bandits, who kill and destroy properties of the Nigerian citizens, as "freedom fighters who are peaceful and believe in Nigeria?" 

   But, is it not time to demand explanation from Gumi, the type of freedom fighters that bandits are in Nigeria? No doubt, Sheik Gumi is equally in position to tell Nigerians how bandits who terrorize the country are termed peaceful people, who believe in Nigeria? He should also be asked to give his own definition of believing in Nigeria, to ascertain from him, whether those who believe in Nigeria are those who destroy it, or those who build it?

   Furthermore, Sheik Gumi's part of his alleged statement that, "they should have sentenced Nnamdi Kanu by hanging, alleging that, he is a danger to Nigeria, truly defines him as deadly ethnoreligious monster, with a genocidal agenda, to destroy those do not believe the ideology of Islam in Nigeria, as well as suggests that, he is one of the religious bigots, who may have misled the Nigerian Government into the error that sentenced Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to life imprisonment.

   Nnamdi Kanu is a worldwide acclaimed best freedom fighter, who the Nigerian Government has falsely accused and sentenced, probably by listening to ill pieces of advice from Gumi and his blind associates, who do not mean well for the country. Nnamdi Kanu's gospel for freedom remains the main point of liberation for all, whether Nigeria stays as one nation, or separates into different nations. But, the inability of the Nigerian ruling class, who are trapped by external influence, to look inwards, to find the real benefits of Nnamdi Kanu's freedom message(s), had led the country into costly  political errors. If Nnamdi Kanu is a terrorist as accused, why has no other nation in the world proscribed him and his IPOB group, as the Nigerian Government has done? Think about it!

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu POLITICAL LIE OF THE CENTURY

POLITICAL LIE OF THE CENTURY:

One of the heartbreaking political lies of the 21st century is that, "the worst civilian government is better than the best military regime." But, in Nigeria, for example, the successive military regimes had done better than civilian administrations since the return of democracy in the country, beginning from Obasengo's government in 1999 to Tinubu's administration since 2023.

   In terms of state creation by the military regimes, available records show that 

- *General Yakubu Gowon (1966-1975)*: Created 12 states from the original 4 regions on May 27, 1967, including:

    - *North-Western State*

    - *North-Central State*

    - *North-Eastern State*

    - *Kano State*

    - *Benue-Plateau State*

    - *Kwara State*

    - *Western State*

    - *Lagos State*

    - *Mid-Western State*

    - *East-Central State*

    - *South-Eastern State*

    - *Rivers State*

- *General Murtala Mohammed (1975-1976)*: Created 7 states on February 3, 1976, bringing the total to 19 states, including:

    - *Bauchi State*

    - *Benue State*

    - *Borno State*

    - *Imo State*

    - *Niger State*

    - *Ogun State*

    - *Ondo State*

- *General Ibrahim Babangida (1985-1993)*: Created 11 states in two batches:

    - *September 23, 1987*: Akwa Ibom State and Katsina State

    - *August 27, 1991*: Abia State, Delta State, Enugu State, Edo State, Jigawa State, Kebbi State, Kogi State, Osun State, Taraba State, and Yobe State

- *General Sani Abacha (1993-1998)*: Created 6 states on October 1, 1996, bringing the total to 36 states, including:

    - *Bayelsa State*

    - *Ebonyi State*

    - *Ekiti State*

    - *Gombe State*

    - *Nasarawa State*

    - *and Zamfara State*

   But, all the civilian governments, since the return of democracy, from Olusegen Obasanjo in 1999 to Tinubu's regime, 2023 to 2026 have not been able to create one state, despite huge sums of money and materials allocated for state creation. This means that every effort for administrative efficiency and grassroot development in Nigeria today is downplayed by civilian governments, which is said to be better than military regimes. Who is fooling who?

   Furthermore, in other to instill discipline and order in Nigeria, the military government that instituted the War Against Indiscipline (WAI) in Nigeria was led by General Muhammadu Buhari. The program was announced in March 1984 and aimed to correct social maladjustment, promote discipline, and combat corruption. Key aspects of WAI included ¹:

- *Phases of WAI:*

    - *Phase I: Orderliness*, which emphasized queuing and respect for fellow Nigerians.

    - *Phase II: Work Ethic*, aimed at improving productivity.

    - *Phase III: National Unity*, which encouraged Nigerians to put aside tribal affiliations and promote national unity.

    - *Phase IV: Corruption and Criminal Activities*, targeting specific crimes like oil bunkering and smuggling.

    - *Phase V: War Against Filth*, focusing on environmental sanitation.

   The programme was a comprehensive effort to instill discipline and order in Nigerian society, with strict punishments for crimes and vagrancy. Again, under the successive civilian administrations in Nigeria, since 1999 till date, orderliness, work ethic and national unity, are in great decline, as corruption and criminal activities increase on daily basis. Here, also, the military regimes have kudos, whereas, the civilian administrations have knocks.

   Equally, as a measure for environmental cleanliness designed to promote good health and hygiene in Nigerian society, the sanitation exercise in Nigeria was instituted by General Muhammadu Buhari's military regime in the 1980s, specifically during his tenure as the military head of state from 1983 to 1985. This initiative was part of his War Against Indiscipline (WAI) programme, which aimed to promote discipline and cleanliness across the country. The programme included environmental cleanliness as one of its key components, with monthly sanitation exercises being conducted in various parts of the country, including Lagos ¹.

   *Some notable aspects of the sanitation exercise include:*

- *Environmental Cleanliness*: The program emphasized the importance of keeping the environment clean and promoting public health.

- *Monthly Sanitation Exercises*: Residents were required to participate in cleaning their surroundings on specific days.

- *Discipline and Order*: The Programme was designed to instill discipline and order in Nigerian society. However, the lack of political will and audacity to improve on the lofty idea of sanitation exercise initiated by the military government in Nigeria, have left the country in the state of environmental filth and decay, just as the annual budgetary spending on sanitation, continues to increase. The aforestated points to another pitfall of the civilian administrations in Nigeria since 1999, as well as nullifies the claim that, civilian regimes have dividends of democracy which benefits citizens more than all the goodies that military governments can offer.

       Away from Nigeria, countries like, Burkina faso, Mali and Niger Republics, which are currently under military regimes may equally serve as prospects of hope for the people of that West African subregion, as testimonies from that areas show that the so called military juntas are doing extremely better than any known civilian administrations that have governed for years or decades. According to fillers, these countries now have governments that really cater for its citizens. Unlike any civilian administrations in the past, job creation and employment opportunities are presently on the increase, as good healthcare services and affordable housing schemes as well as the provisions of qualitative education programmes, which were absent before the military takeover in the cited countries, are now available to the people, no matter their social strata. What else do the people need? So, if the military regimes have the magic wands that can save the people in Africa from economic woes, I suggest they come, more and more!

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu EBO NOAH AND RAINBOW COVENANT

EBO NOAH AND 

RAINBOW COVENANT:

The year 2025 was awashed with the news of a self-acclaimed Ghanaian prophet, referred to as, Ebo Noah, who claimed that GOD asked him to build an ark similar to that of the biblical Noah, in preparation for the safety of those who would believe his message, in which he said GOD would destroy the world, by means of a three-year flood, beginning from December 25, 2025. However, Ebo Noah, also known as Ebo Jesus, registered his name in history as one of the false prophets of the black race, by deploying a disreputable scheme before the time, stating that GOD postponed the date of the deluge, in answer to his prayer. But, GOD said to Noah, "I will establish my covenant with you; which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth...that the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh...By this, please note that Ebo Noah is a false prophet that must be avoided! (See Genesis 9:11-16)
