IPOB Eswatini Chapter

IPOB Belongs to the People of Biafra
In response to the interview of Kanu’s special counsel, Bar Aloy Ejimakor, where he was indirectly making reference of IPOB as a personal enterprise of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
Bar Aloy Ejimakor failed to acknowledged the fact that the Indigenous People of Biafra has grown from a localized activist group into a highly organized influential global movement, a foundational truth which remains non-negotiable: IPOB does not belong to any single individual or family as it was built on the shared sacrifices of millions of Biafrans around the world.
No individual, regardless of their prominence or rhetorical influence can lay claim to have built IPOB from scratch to its global stature. The movement's international presence, infrastructure and grassroots mobilizing power are the direct results of an immense effort of the people.
Ordinary members across the globe have sustained the organization through various forms of dedication, countless members have paid the ultimate price during rallies from Onitsha headbridge, Nkpor, Igweocha, Obigbo, Aba and in other cities across Biafra land. What about the enforced disappearance of IPOB members by the Nigerian security apparatus and security crackdowns. Numerous coordinators and members have faced prolonged detentions, legal battles and physical displacement.
Let me also school Bar Aloy Ejimakor that IPOB is funded primarily by the hard-earned income, personal donations of ordinary members in the diaspora and at homeland of which he has benefited and has continued to benefit from. He should cease from referring or rather comparing IPOB as an enterprise where the CEO can hire and fire employees at will. When an organization is funded and protected by the collective will of the masses, it ceases to be personal property. Treating a liberation movement as a family estate or an individual enterprise undermines the very core of its mission.
Bar Ejimakor should have this in mind and also inform same to his principal, for any movement to maintain long-term institutional stability, its leader must respect the sacrifices of its rank and file members. IPOB's strength does not reside in a single name or lineage; it resides in the collective investment of time, resources, and lives of people dedicated to the shared vision. Those that have dedicated years of their lives, labored and bled to bring IPOB to the world stage are the true owners of the movement.
IPOB belongs to the people of Biafra!

Chinasa Nworu - I know they will make this pronouncement and finally they vomited that rubbish they have been nursing and looking for ways to fabricate the story, telling people that IPOB is a family business.
It’s left for Biafrans to speak up if at anytime for the past decade that this struggle is a family or Kanu’s business enterprise.

Former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, former Chief of Staff to the President, Prof Ibrahim Gambari, Chairman of Media Trust Group, Malam Kabiru Yusuf, and seven other prominent Nigerians have warned that Nigeria is facing a deepening crisis marked by rising insecurity, electoral manipulation and weakening democratic institutions.
