OBLONG MEDIA GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE is where independent minds meet to dissect politics, society, power, and global affairs without fear or filters. This is not mainstream media.

Buhari just signed the order designating IPOB as a terrorist group while his Attorney General has already initiated the process of legalizing it ~~News. Boko haram is an Islamic terror group fighting to enthrone Sharia law throughout Nigeria and beyond. In pursuit of this goal, the terror group has killed thousands, displaced millions, bombed numberless homes, schools, hospitals and market places including police headquarters here in Abuja, United Nation’s building and uncountable number of police stations and army barracks leaving behind a tale of wars and woes. Hundreds of school kids have had their throat slit open while thousands of…

The President’s Speech delivered at the United Nations General Assembly on Sept 2017, towed the same tone as the previous ones he delivered. Very mundane and vague lacking in substance. But the most consistent observation of his speeches is the irony and contradictions of what he appeals to the UN body and what he does at home as a President. It is so hypocritical as it is embarrassing that you’ll ask of rhe global body what you have vowed and vehemently refused to even discuss at home. The President has used the two key words he rejected at home to…

Barely two years to the end of Governor Rochas Okorocha’s second term in office, Imo State government’s loan portfolio has hit an unsustainable level, comprising N93.27billion domestic loan and $60.22million foreign debts. At a conservative exchange rate of N305 per dollar, both the domestic and foreign debt stock amount to N112.4billion as at December 30, 2016, the highest among five states of the South East. Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and Debt Management Office (DMO) show that Anambra State has the least domestic loan stock of N3.99billion. However, the state (Anambra) has $62.88million foreign debt stock,…

Three days after a leader of the House of Representatives criticised Senate President Bukola Saraki for his views on the proscription of the separatist group, IPOB, more lawmakers have joined in criticising the number three citizen. A group of lawmakers from the House of Representatives, under the aegis of Progressive Caucus, described Mr. Saraki’s statement as shocking beyond belief. The senate president had in a statement on Monday described the Nigerian military’s declaration of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, as a terrorist organisation as illegal. He also said the South-east governors who announced the proscription of IPOB had no…

•. Mr. Ikenna Mbazuike-Amechi (A Lagos-based legal practitioner) Designating the Indigenous People of Biafra a terrorist group is not the right step to take. The decision to tag them a terrorist organisation is also procedurally wrong. Again, IPOB is not known to carry arms, though I do not agree with what IPOB is fighting for because I do not think that the issue of Biafra is necessary at the moment. I believe in the corporate existence of Nigeria, but the group still has a right to agitate if its members feel they want a new country. It, however, does not…

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday successfully blocked an attempt by embattled former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, to return to Nigeria from London to face trial. Mrs. Alison-Madueke had fled to London shortly after she left office in May 2015, and has stayed away from the country since then. She later became an object of interest to the UK National Crime Agency which has since then being investigating her for corruption and money laundering. Already some assets linked to her in that country have been frozen. Those familiar with the matter say she is barred from travelling out…

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah for one month. The party has also refereed Senator Buruji Kashamu to its disciplinary committee for action. Briefing journalists in Abuja on Thursday, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, said Ubah, who was a governorship aspirant in Anambra State, got suspended for disregarding a query issued him by the leadership of the party. On Kashamu, Adeyeye said the leadership of the party had queried the senator representing Ogun East over some of his actions which the PDP considered inappropriate and detrimental to the…

The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has challenged the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, to name the “treasury looters” he alleged were sponsoring the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB. Mr. Mohammed at a news conference in Lagos on Sunday alleged that “politically disgruntled ” and “treasury looters” were sponsoring IPOB, whose agitations for independence had become a thorny issue in the Nigerian polity. He said the intention of the sponsors was to divert attention from the efforts of the President Muhmadu Buhari administration and obliterate its laudable achievements. “They believe that by sponsoring this group to destabilise…

Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Prof Itse Sagay (SAN) has thrown a jab at the All Progressives Congress while supporting military’s declaration of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist organisation. He revealed that IPOB exhibited characteristics that justified being described as a terrorist organisation. While speaking about the APC, the law professor described the party’s leadership as “a failure”. He said this in an interview with The Nation. “As for the leadership of…

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has accused the Igbo of playing the worst politics in Nigeria, saying the Hausa and Yoruba don’t need Igbo to win election. Okorocha’s statement has drawn the ire of Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA, and Igbo National Council, INC, which accused him of never identifying with Igbo cause. This is even as Ibeku traditional rulers in Umuahia North Council Area of Abia State have called on the Nigerian Army to release, dead or alive, their colleague and father of leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Eze Israel Kanu, saying that since the invasion and…

A stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Athanasius Achonu has accused the All Progressives Congress of riding roughshod over the people and failing to keep its promises to them. He spoke with Adedayo Adejobi who presents the excerpts. What is your view of President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to receive treatment in the United Kingdom? It’s not his fault that he’s sick, besides he’s not a young man anymore. The only thing I have against it is that Nigeria can afford to bring the best equipment money can buy and doctors to the villa, to take care of the president.…

Fellow Heads of State and Government, Mr. Secretary-General, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen, On behalf of my country, Nigeria, I congratulate you Mr. President on your election and Mr. Gutteres on his first General Assembly outing as our Secretary-General. I assure you both of my country’s solidarity and cooperation. You will indeed need the cooperation of all member States as we are meeting during extra-ordinarily troubled and dangerous times. Let me also thank former Secretary-General Mr. Ban ki Moon for his service to the United Nations and wish him peaceful retirement. 2. The previous year has witnessed many far-reaching developments.…

Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, We’re in the midst of a great revolution, a revolution in Israel’s standing among the nations. This is happening because so many countries around the world have finally woken up to what Israel can do for them. Those countries now recognize what brilliant investors like Warren Buffet and great companies like Google and Intel, what they’ve recognized and known for years: that Israel is the innovation nation — the place for cutting-edge technology in agriculture, in water, in cyber security, in medicine, in autonomous vehicles — you name it, we’ve got it. Those countries now…

Who is kidding Who in this geographical expression call Nigeria. “In 1976, Niger state split from Sokoto; In 1991, Kebbi state split from Sokoto; In 1996, Zamfara state was split from Sokoto.

Before you crucify Igbo people, read… But ask yourself, did the Igbos put guns on anybody’s head before buying up Alaba, Ajegunle, isolo and Oshodi in Lagos. Did they use juju before the Ibadan surrendered Iwo Road to them? And what were we looking at before the Igbos took over Isida and Adeti in Ilesa. Where were the YORUBAS when the Igbos thrived and built 90% of the Hotels at Abuja. Was there a law that excluded the YORUBAS from selling building materials? Dei Dei building materials market in Abuja is 90 % Igbo owned. So the more we point…

On paper the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is dead. The five Governors of the South East states proscribed the body a few days ago. They, instead, advised all aggrieved groups in the region to articulate their positions on all national issues and submit them to the Committee of Governors, Ohaneze Ndigbo and the National Assembly members from the region through the Chairman of the South East Governors’ Forum. The action of the governors is futile because they have no power to ban any association, even a rascally one like the IPOB. The 1999 Constitution confers on groups and individuals…

Only gullible, uninformed and untrained onlookers would fail to realise that it was the south east governors, for fear of loss of relevance in the south east, that collectively instigated Buhari to come to their aid in dismantling and proscribing IPOB. How wrong they were, how badly they miscalculated. IPOB or no IPOB, we must ensure that the south east governors, their cronies and acolytes, never ever scheme their way back into government come 2019. They must be schemed out of power, so that they and some of their predecessors can pay for their crimes against the citizens of south…

Senate President Bukola Saraki says the categorisation of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist organisation by the defence headquarters and proscription of the group by south-east governors did not follow due process. The military and governors from the south-east moved against IPOB on Friday. In a statement on Monday, Saraki said due processes must be followed in accordance with the law before such declaration can have effect. The senate president expressed hope that President Muhammadu Buhari would initiate the right process for declaring IPOB a terrorist group, saying this would demonstrate to the world at large that…

Supporters of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) pushed their case further yesterday at the Senate, with startling facts on the sector. Senator Ita Enang (Akwa Ibom North East) described the opposition to the 10 per cent host community fund by mostly northern senators as “misplaced”. Enang, who is also the Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, said that those opposed to the fund should know that over 83 per cent of oil blocks are owned by northerners. But he did not give the number of oil blocks Nigeria has. Senator David Mark, who seemed to have been shocked by…

International human rights lawyer Bruce Fein urged member states of the United Nations organization on Sunday to hold Nigeria accountable for its crimes and not let the country get away with genocide. Fein, who served as an associate deputy attorney general of the United States under President Ronald Reagan said that the United Nations will live in infamy for lending its megaphone on Tuesday, September 19, 2017, to Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari. “Instead of providing Buhari a megaphone, the United Nations should be expelling Nigeria from membership under Article 6 of the United Nations Charter. The United Nations Security Council…

Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, yesterday carried out his threat against journalists operating in the state, banning the Correspondents of THISDAY and Vanguard Newspapers, Amby Uneze and Chidi Nkwopara, from covering government house activities. The governor did not give any reason for his action other than that the said correspondents do not like him. Declaring the correspondents as enemies of government for not writing favourable reports to suit his bidding, last Saturday night in a chart with journalists in the state at the government house, Okorocha failed to point out any of the ethics of the journalism profession which…

The ruling on Monday, September 11, 2017 by Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of a Federal High Court in Abuja, giving the nod for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to continue with the recall process against Distinguished Senator Dino Melaye, did not come as a surprise given the fact that his lordship apparently did not actually understand the concerns of Melaye, hence he described the plaintiff’s suit as “hasty and premature”. Typical of Melaye, he respects the court ruling but disagree with it, hence his decision to appeal at the appellate court. For the avoidance of doubt, Melaye did not institute…

I never dreamt that I will ever be compelled by facts to come to this conclusion. Whatever happens to Nnamdi Kanu today; he has won. This opinionated rabble rouser won due to the superlative unintelligence of Buhari’s government. He was an unknown element plying his vituperative rhetoric on the outbacks of an internet radio that couldn’t boast a broad audience. He was a nobody; until he played Buhari into rescuing him from the peripheries of irrelevance. He set a trap for the rat; and the biggest rat of all, brainlessly swallowed that. Today he has exposed the rat’s underbelly for…

How exactly do I describe someone who thinks taking out Nnamdi Kanu or permanently locking him away would put an end to the Biafran agitations?? I really don’t know but that’s a classical case of institutionalized ignorance!! Nnamdi Kanu is certainly not the problem and killing him would achieve NOTHING other than spiking up the people’s anger leading to escalation of the crisis!! If you are still weaving your analysis around Kanu, biko go back to school!! Biafra is an IDEA, A RELIGION and an OBSESSION deeply planted in the hearts of millions of people. Biafra is a seed planted…

“When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood,’” Matthew 27:24. History and the Holy Bible show that Pontius Pilate did not kill Jesus Christ himself. The Roman soldiers did. But he delivered him to them. Though the Jewish religious leaders had hoped to stone Jesus Christ to death, Pilate delivered him up for crucifixion. The Jewa liked it and hailed it but it was not actually what they wanted. Despite this fact, Pilate’s name…

Kanu reminds me of Nelson Mandela and apartheid struggle in South Africa.

Many claimed Mandela was trying to be king in a new South Africa populated by blacks and Mandela’s worst critics were blacks he was fighting for. Mandela and his ANC comrades were hounded, blacklisted and jailed for their cause. Mandela and ANC were tagged “terrorists” by the British and other western media. Cuba and other pariah states under…

Those of you IPOBians, Sympathizers, Rumour Mongers, Facebook Warriors, Facebook megastars, Opinion Leaders and Propagandists escalating the already tense situation must understand that in the end, you’ll all be losers, victims and at the same time in more bondage than you ever were.

A planned genocide is about to be unleashed in South Eastern Nigeria and the Igbo and in particular their leadership are acting as if all is normal. The Nigeria President has ordered an intimidating military Show-of-Force in the five (5) states of the South East that constituted Biafra, a state of war against her own people and no one is raising a red flag or questioning this impending action at a time when there is visible and established threat of pogrom against Igbos in Northern Nigeria starting October 1. Is this a coincidence or a grand plan to hold the…

It was the best of times, but is it presently the worst?

Until Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s bail is revoked, any show of force around him is a show of shame and intimidation. Intimidation done to one, is intimidation done to all and must be resisted. The Nigerian Army said it went on a “Show of Force” at Nnamdi Kanu’s residence at Afaraukwu and the Police said it happened around World Bank road. Tales of two agencies of government, one who actually went for the operation and another who was not there but issued press statement un-behalf of the operation. Graphic evidence shows the “Show of Shame” was at Afaraukwu and not World…

There is confusion, grave disappointment and apprehension in Nigeria as the military continues its “illiterate” aggression in the south east. Described by several Right activists and lawyers as unconstitutional, the military under Army Chief Tukur Buratai has deployed battalions to the South East under the auspices of “Operation Python Dance” and has proceeded to provoke, instigate and inflame an already highly inflammable situation. Latest press stories have it that Buratai has put separatist leader, Nnamdi Kanu under house arrest. Military vehicles have been seen in videos surrounding his house where the army reportedly shot and injured several members in the…

Nigeria is today a failed state. This metaphorical assertion is visible and amply audible in every nook and cranny of the country. You can see it glaringly on the faces of Nigerians, on our infrastructurally decayed streets, and on our socially devastated communities. The entire Nigeria subordinate states are politically polluted and economically Suffocated. Electricity supply for industrial use and domestic necessities is presently a pervasive mythology; every household in Nigeria now provides electricity by themselves and for themselves only at critical moments of need.
