International Committee of the Red Cross' Documentary On Biafra Now Released


International Committee of the Red Cross' Documentary On Biafra Now Released 


International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) historian Daniel Palmieri describes the humanitarian situation between 1966-1975, focusing on the Nigeria-Biafra War. 

The ICRC Archives have been opened to the public for the first time. 
This is the first time this documentary on Biafra will be shared on a Nigerian website. 
I witnessed and survived the Biafran war as a refugee child, but my mother of blessed memory Mrs. Gladys Eke lost three of her six children who were among the hundreds of thousands of unfortunate Igbo children who died from Kwashiorkor in Biafra.

I dedicate this to the memories of all the heroes and heroines of Biafra.

Why All Muslims Must Be United Against Boko Haram and ISIS



Muslims all over the world must not be afraid to speak out against terrorism and be united to fight Boko Haram, (Group of the People of Sunnah for Preaching and Jihad) and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), because the founder of Islam, Prophet MuḼammad (PBUH) prohibited killing women and children and would not support the suicide bomb attacks on innocent people. 

Muslims who refuse to attack Boko Haram and ISIS are enemies of Islam.

Gentlemen, I Have Just Been Informed That There Is Going To Be A Coup Tonight


Photo: Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi (3 March 1924 – 29 July 1966) and other senior military officers before his overthrow in a military coup. 

 Lt. Col. Okonweze, therefore, called a meeting in the mess of all available officers (Igbo and non-Igbo) at the Abeokuta Garrison where he made the following announcement:

"Gentlemen, I have just been informed that there is going to be a coup tonight. Anyone of you who knows anything about the coup should please tell us. You may know the beginning but you never know the end. I am not ambitious. My only ambition is to become a full Colonel. If you know anything, please let me know; I am not going to report anyone. What we are going to do is to avoid what happened in January where officers were taken unawares. We are going to wake up all soldiers, ask them to go to the armoury to get issued with arms and ammunition. "

Why Are Nigerians Drinking More Beer Since President Buhari Became President?



Why Are Nigerians Drinking More Beer Since President Buhari Became President?
Nigeria’s economy has been battered in the last six months as the country reels from the effects of low oil prices and a currency slide. Nigerians are feeling the brunt as jobs have been cut and businesses closed down.
To make matters worse, the country, Africa’s largest oil producer, is also in the grip of one of its worst fuel scarcity and power shortage difficulties.
Yet, despite all this, first quarter results from Heineken show Nigerians are consuming more beer than at the same time last year despite the harsh times.
The Dutch brewery announced that organic consolidated beer volume grew 4.6% across the Africa, Middle East, Eastern Europe regions with Nigeria being a major driver of that growth. In its statement, Heineken says excluding Nigeria, volume would have been down for the region.
