The Biafra Zionists Federation on Sunday criticised the recent strategy adopted by the Indigenous People of Biafra to attack Igbo political leaders outside Nigeria.
Leader of the outlawed IPOB group, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, had directed his members to attack Igbo leaders anywhere outside the country. He also mobilised his group to Japan, where President Muhammadu Buhari attended an event alongside other world leaders, vowing to disgrace the Nigeria President.
But in a statement, the leader of the BZF, Mr Benjamin Onwuka, said with Kanu’s approach, the international community would soon start looking at Biafra’s agitation with suspicion.
Onwuka, who stated that diplomacy with world powers, especially the United States of America, remained key to the Biafra struggle, said it was childish for anyone to dream of arresting President Buhari in Japan.
He said, “It is a wrong strategy for anyone to go to Japan under the pretext of arresting Buhari. I feel ashamed when I read what is happening in Japan.
“People should be very careful, that is why the Zionists are talking about diplomacy. People should stop doing things that will make the international community to see us as violent people. It is very dangerous.
“These people should focus on what is achievable; going to Germany to attack Ike Ekweremadu is just mocking yourself. The Fulani are the ones holding us down not Ekweremadu.”
He added, “That thing they are doing is very shameful. Look at the one they did in Japan; you are going to arrest a sitting President, how is that possible? I was educating them on the net, IPOB members said they were going to kill me.
“But the whole thing is funny. Buhari has diplomatic protection, so you can’t touch him, you can’t even go near, even a minister can’t touch him because he has a diplomatic passport. Going to Japan to make noise cannot help us.
“So, this is not the way to go, it is damaging us; it is all political propaganda which they are using to brainwash and collect money from people. All these violent protests will make the world to begin to see us as dangerous people. He is destroying our campaign; they should come and join the Zionists.”
The Biafra group equally cautioned the Nigerian government against what it called persecution of businessmen from the South.
He said, “There has been a sustained agenda to stifle businesses of Biafra people. Mr Ibeto suffered the same fate simply because of Nkalagu cement, leading to his incarceration for several months. We fought and he was released.
“Now to show that those behind this are not ready to give up, they have now faced Innoson and are now doing everything to kill his investments.”

HORROR! 7 Students Fall To Their Deaths After Balcony Railing Breaks At Bolivian College (GRAPHIC VIDEO)

Seven Bolivian college students were killed and five others injured after an indoor balcony railing broke and sent them plummeting, some as far as four floors, to the ground.   As a large number of students crowded into a fourth-floor hallway at the Public University of El Alto near the Bolivian capital on Tuesday morning, the balcony railing apparently buckled and gave way. Several students lost their balance and fell to the ground 17 meters (55 feet) below. The horrific incident was captured by bystanders in graphic footage, which also shows the brave actions of students who reached over the open edge to prevent others from falling. A few victims landed on the third floor rather than dropping all the way to the ground level. The seven fatalities were confirmed by Bolivia’s Special Force to Fight Crime. Three died at the scene, while the other four perished from their injuries at hospitals around El Alto, according to local media reports.   The deadly incident happened during...

Cursed’ ship found completely intact 90 years after sinking

Cursed’ ship found completely intact 90 years after sinking ARCHAEOLOGISTS were thrilled when a 90-year-old "cursed" shipwreck was found in Canadian waters completely intact more than 90 years after it sank. SS Manasoo was a passenger vessel of 529 tonnes built in 1888 in Glasgow and began daily journeys from Hamilton to Toronto that year. But on September 15, 1928, the ship foundered off Griffith Island , Georgian Bay, with 16 lives lost while fighting a heavy storm, and capsized when her cargo of 116 cattle apparently shifted to one side. The recent addition of increased passenger accommodation on its upper deck is thought to have contributed to the instability and all five of the survivors drifted for 60 hours in a lifeboat before being picked up by a passing ship. But sailors have another theory. Originally owned by the S.S. Macassa Hamilton Steamship Company, the Scottish-built vessel was renamed SS Manasoo, its new title reflected the primary ports of call, Manitoulin I...
