Ikedife warns agitators againts in-fighting

Deputy Chairman, Supreme Council of Elders of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Dr. Dozie Ikedife, has warned those agitating for the state of Biafra to stop in-fighting among them if they were to make any headway.

Dr. Ikedife gave the warning in Aba, Abia State, in a paper he presented on the occasion of a memorial lecture for Prince Longinus Orjiakor organised by Eastern Peoples’ Congress (EPC) of which Orjiakor was the leader.

“We abhor in-fighting, personal attacks in any shape or form, propagation of any statement or story that is not entirely true. Never lace up the reports or presentations”.

Describing the late Orjiakor as a man with whom they shared a hope and vision, Dr. Ikedife said they gathered to celebrate him because of his heroism, and commitment to the dream of a liberated people.

He continued, “We must use this opportunity to try to forge synergy among those who share a common dream, common hope, common goal of self-determination for all ethnic nationalities as by United Nations Acts which is accepted by the African Union and Nigeria”.

Ikedife urged pro-Biafra groups to hold seminars on May 30, 2017 for their members to enlighten them on the tenets of good government, responsible good citizenship and patriotism which he said Orjiakor lived and died for.

Secretary General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Uche Okwukwu, described the late Orjiakor, who hailed from Umuduruogu, Umuokwem, Umuokpu, Abajah in Nwangele Local Government Area of Imo State as a dependable ally.

Okwukwu said that Orjiakor formed the EPC because he was betrayed by the powers that be in the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB).

“Our independent can only be achieved if we as a people have decided to come together and work together which was what Orjiakor dreamed and lived for”.

Victor Nwaugo, former National Legal Adviser of NBA and counsel to the 2, 000 1st 57 Biafran accused persons, informed that Orjiakor was a founding member of MASSOB and among the first 57 accused persons to be arraigned in court in 1999 for agitating for a sovereign state of Biafra.

“Orjiakor was the Eastern Province Co-ordinator of MASSOB until 2001 when he left the group on account of irreconcilable ideological divides whence he formed a strong Biafran group known as Eastern People Congress in 2001”.

Other speakers including Okechukwu Orji, spokesman of EPC eulogised their late leader for his vision and doggedness in the Biafra struggle and urged his wife and children to take heart as what their father fought and died for was not in vain as they would continue to remember him until Biafra is achieved.

China positive about US negotiation remark on North Korea

China said on Thursday it was positive that the United States is open to resolving tensions over North Korea through talks. Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang made the comment at a regular news briefing in Beijing. The Trump administration said on Wednesday it aimed to push North Korea into dismantling its nuclear and missile programs through tougher international sanctions and diplomatic pressure, and remained open to negotiations to bring that about. NAN reports that the U.S. stance, which appeared to signal a willingness to exhaust non-military avenues inspite of repeated warnings that “all options are on the table,” came in a statement following an unusual White House-hosted briefing for the entire U.S. Senate followed by a briefing to the House of Representatives. The statement from Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Defence Secretary Jim Mattis and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats described North Korea as “an urgent national security threat and top foreign policy

I’m different from young artistes – Majek Fashek

Since his return to the Nigerian music scene, veteran reggae maestro, Majek Fashek, has been on a conscious mission to once again stamp his feet on the music space, reclaiming his throne as the only musician in the world who can draw rain with his music fic. In a recent interview with HIPTV, the rain maker, as he is fondly called, claimed there is a cut clear difference between the quality of sound and music he makes and that of young artistes. According to Majek, “I make sound while all these young musicians make jam, I make good sound but they are always jamming, they don’t make good sound, they just jam. My song ‘Send down the rain’ was made over thirty years ago, but if you listen to it today, you will realize that the sound will appeal to both the old and equally the young ones because the sound is good and still relevant today, that is something the young musicians don’t have.” In a one-on-one chat with E-Daily , Majek explained that his statement in the inter

North Korea accuses CIA of plot to assassinate Kim Jong-Un

North Korea on Friday accused the CIA of plotting with South Korea to assassinate leader Kim Jong-Un, amid soaring tensions in the flashpoint region. The CIA and Seoul’s Intelligence Services have “hatched a vicious plot” involving unspecified “biochemical substances” to kill the hermit state’s young leader during public ceremonial events in Pyongyang, the Ministry of State Security said.

The accusation comes as Pyongyang issues increasingly belligerent rhetoric in a tense stand off with the administration of US President Donald Trump over its rogue weapons programme The war of words between the West and the reclusive regime has spiked in recent weeks, and Pyongyang has threatened to ca
