It was celebrations galore as youths and women took to the streets chanting pro Biafra songs and singing Kanu’s praises. At the Flyover junction, Asa Nnentu, along the Enugu –Port Harcourt expressway, suspected IPOB faithful numbering over 15,000, lined the highway with green leaves waving at motorists.
The jubilations were peaceful as they sang praises to God over the development, and stated that they are behind Kanu and urged him not to be deterred by his detention by the federal government.
A cross section of members of the group who spoke to Vanguard along Umuocha road, Aba, described Kanu as a freedom fighter who is committed to the liberation of the Biafra people.

They commended the court for granting him bail and urged the federal government to stop harassing him as Kanu cannot be intimidated into abandoning the struggle for an independent state of Biafra.
The IPOB faithful warned those they described as enemies of Biafra to change their ways or face the wrath of the Biafra people.

What is Kubool and Other Anonymous Messaging Apps

Ex-INEC Chairman, Jega attacks politicians

The ex-INEC boss spoke at a lecture titled, ‘Democracy and the Challenges of Nation Building in Africa,’ for participants of the Executive Intelligence Management Course at the Institute for Security Studies, Abuja. Jega stressed that such attitude was not good for the country and its people. According to Jega, “In most African countries, certainly it is true also here in Nigeria, many politicians spend a lot of time trying to win an election and very little time comparatively in preparing for what they would do when they come into office. “The best of them will now only begin to appoint a committee, an advisory committee to prepare for them what to do after they have been elected. “Frankly, for me, this is a major challenge of leadership all over Africa, but most especially for us here in Nigeria. “If you want to be elected, you have to be very clear from the beginning on what you want to do for the people and you should hit the ground running from day one. “If leade...
