Niger Delta is not breaking away from Nigeria

Annkio Briggs a Niger Delta rights activist has said the region is not agitating to break away from Nigeria but is only interested in being allowed to control its resources.

 Some Igbo people have been agitating for an independent Biafra state and different protests have been going on in some parts of the country especially in the eastern part. The agitation heightened after the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu who is the director of Radio Biafra.

 Daily Trust reports that Briggs said the federal government should not see the agitation of the people of Niger Delta as a move to break away from Nigeria as agitated by Biafrans but rather as a quest for self-determination and the opportunity to control the wealth from the region.

"The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it but in the end, there it is" – Sir Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of Great Britain (1940-1945 and 1951-1955).

Nothing empowers the spirit more than the truth. Nothing warms the soul more than the truth. Nothing dispels the darkness more than the truth. 

Nothing emboldens the noble more than the truth. Nothing sheds the light more than the truth. Nothing enlightens the ignorant more than the truth. Nothing frees the enslaved more than the truth. Nothing liberates the mind more than the truth.

  

Nothing purges the evil more than the truth. Nothing hurts the vile more than the truth.  Nothing troubles the murderous more than the truth. Nothing exposes the reprobate more than the truth.  Nothing burns the slanderer more than the truth.

Radio Biafra continues broadcast despite Kanu’s arrest

Controversial Radio Biafra continued broadcasting on Monday despite the arrest of the director of the radio, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu was purportedly arrested by the men of the Department of State Services on Saturday when he arrived Lagos from his base in London.

Ardent listeners to the radio told our correspondent that the Internet-based radio continued with its broadcast issuing ultimatum to the Federal Government to release its director within 48 hours or face a revolt.

However, attempt by our correspondent to download the Radio Biafra app from the Internet on Monday failed.

Attempt to speak with broadcast industry regulator failed as calls to the spokesperson for the National Broadcasting Commission, Mr. Awwalu Salihu, in Abuja on Monday, were not picked.
