240 days ... Genocidist Nigeria: Where is Nnamdi Kanu? Where are Nnamdi Kanu’s parents, Eze Israel Okwu Kanu and Ugoeze Nnenne Kanu?

(Nnamdi Kanu and his loving parents)

Herbert Ekwe-Ekwe

TODAY marks eight months or 240 days since the 14 September 2017 genocidist Nigeria military, led by Hausa-Fulani/islamist jihadists under Muhammadu Buhari, stormed the home of Nnamdi Kanu’s parents at Afaraukwu-Ibeku, eastcentral Biafra. Consequently, the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (constituted integrally in the Biafra freedom movement), and his parents, remain unknown. Scores of the Kanus’ relatives and friends were murdered during the assault and scores of others are still unaccounted for. 

Three thousand Igbo people have been murdered across Biafra since Muhammadu Buhari, who in March 2015 had been imposed on as Nigeria’s head of regime by ex-US President Barack Hussein Obama and ex-British Prime Minister David Cameron in March 2015, embarked on this bloodiest track of phase-IV of the Igbo genocide (13 January 1970-present day) in November 2015.

GENOCIDIST Nigeria, this haematophagous monster, this most beastly and serially kakistocratic and notoriously most vividly anti-African peoples state ever emplaced in Africa, surely knows that it will account for the safety of Nnamdi Kanu and his parents and take full responsibility for the consequences of that savage raid on a family home.

84th birthday of Francis Arinze

(Born 1 November 1932, Eziowelle, Biafra)

Cardinal of the Catholic Church who had become bishop at just 32, multidisciplinary scholar and prolific author with sharp intellect whose all time investiture  is his indefatigable service in organising responsive and expansive refugee rehabilitation programmes in Biafra, unprecedented in Africa, which saves the lives of millions, especially children, women and older citizens, during the Igbo genocide, 29 May 1966-12 January 1970, the foundational genocide of post-(European)conquest Africa, when 3.1 million Igbo people or a quarter of this nation’s population are murdered by Nigeria and its suzerain state Britain under the premiership of Harold Wilson
