I AM IPOB LEADER. NNAMDI KANU


The Leader of the indigenous People of Biafra Nnamdi Kanu in a court proceeding accepted the fact that he is the leader of an advocacy group called IPOB.
Whether or not IPOB exist against the laws of Nigeria is the reason Barr Ejiofor legal representative of IPOB puts the records straight.

ONYENDU MAZI NNAMDI KANU NEVER DENIED BEING THE LEADER OF  IPOB - LET THE RECORDS BE SET STRAIGHT:

Greetings UmuChineke, 

Our attention has been drawn to  the deliberate misrepresentation/falsehood and wrong narratives being perpetuated by some mischief makers, and which is unfortunately gradually gaining prominence on social media platforms and print media. Hence, it is pertinent that we provide clarification and clear the doubt. 

S.M. Labaran Esq., who stood in yesterday for the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation is a colleague I hold in high esteem, but I shall resist every mischievous ploy being adopted to misinform the unsuspecting members of the public who were not privy to the details of the proceedings in court yesterday, with a wrong and mischievous interpretation of the purport of the Plea taken by our indefatigable Client - Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. 

For the records, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never denied being the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra  (IPOB) while taking his plea, but only STOUTLY  DENIED THE FACT THAT IPOB IS A TERRORIST ORGANISATION AND THAT  BEING ITS LEADER IS AN OFFENCE, which position is well informed. 

Members of the Public should be well guided that the status of the black market order proscribing IPOB is a subject of Appeal in Appeal Number: APPEAL NO. CA/A/214/2018, pending before the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division.

That being said, it is only laughable that the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) in their desperate but futile attempt  to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it, brought a charge bordering on the status of IPOB, a subject matter of a competent Appeal, where issues has been joined with the same FGN.

Therefore, be properly guided UmuChineke,  because we have sufficiently addressed the emptiness of that count and entire charge in our compelling Submissions before the Court, now adjourned to be heard on the 16th day of February, 2022. 

We do not wish to dwell further on this subject, but be rightly informed that Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never denied being the Leader of IPOB while taking his Plea yesterday.

Ndewonu UmuChineke 

Signed:
Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Esq.
IPOB Lead Counsel

IGBO DAUGHTERS (WOMEN) NOW TO INHERIT WILLS. UKEJE V. UKEJE

In Igbo Customary Law, succession and inheritance are taken for granted as enuring by the principle of primogeniture. In other words, the eldest male child (Okpala or Diokpa) of the intestate has a sole claim to the estate of the deceased. Hence, female children do not inherit their deceased parents. Against this backdrop, a suit arose at a Lagos State High Court. It was instituted by one of the daughters of the deceased Lazarus Ogbonnaya Ukeje, who challenged the grant of Letters of Administration to her mother (and widow of the deceased) and her brother to her exclusion. She maintained that being a child of the deceased, the grant was discriminatory having offended section 42 (2) of the 1999 Constitution. Appealing against the decision of the Lagos High Court that found in favour of the Claimant, the Defendants/Appellants cited Igbo Customary Law as the basis for which she was disinherited. The Court of Appeal affirmed the ruling of the lower court. Further dissatisfied, the Appellan...

DOES THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ALLOW PREGNANCY BEFORE MARRIAGE?

BY REV Fr Ojo Joe. Let me quickly say the simple answer to the above question is no. But then, how come we see, many times wedding celebration of couples who are pregnant or have even given birth in the Catholic church? The answer to this question forms the basis of this write up. Since this article is meant to answer non catholics who want to know about catholics and catholics who want to know more about their Faith, I have taken for myself the authority of Jesus as written in the scripture only, that we all may come to know that, such wedding is not abomination to God, but a healing for damage of sin already committed. The Catholic church preaches strongly against sex before marriage. In fact, it is wrong for a man and woman to live together if they are not married. So if sex is a sin before marriage, then there should not be pregnancy in the first place. But then if the couple, for any reason we know not, had sex and it leads to pregnancy, The Church is careful not to give penalty t...
