BIAFRA: NIGERIA PUSHING IGBO TO SECEDE AGAIN By  Onyedika Agbedo Chief  John Nnia Nwodo (Jnr) was elected as the President-General of apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, recently.  A lawyer and economist by training, Nwodo is not new to public life. He had served as minister of civil aviation (1983) and minister of information and culture (1998-1999), amid other national and regional assignments. He aspired for the presidency on the platform of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) in 2003. In this explosive interview, Nwodo speaks on his new responsibility and the state of the nation, baring his mind on issues like the alleged marginalisation South-east by the incumbent administration, the separatist agitation in the zone, restructuring and the economic recession ravaging the country, among other issues. You are assuming the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo at a very critical period in Nigeria’s history. How are you finding your new role?   I have found the jo

Paris Club Refund: We’re Waiting For EFCC Probe – NGF By Jonathan Nda-Isaiah Governors of the 36 states of the federation under the auspices of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF) have said that they were ready for the investigations of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged diversion of the refund made to states from the excess charges of Paris Club. The governors were responding to reports last week that they may have used fictitious consultants to divert some of the money from Paris Club, which had attracted the attention of the EFCC. Consequently, the Presidency had ordered a full scale investigation into the disbursement of the funds. But fielding questions from State House correspondents after a meeting of the NGF meeting on Wednesday night, which ended on wee hours of yesterday, chairman of the NGF and Zamfara State governor, Abdulaziz Yari, said the governors were ready for the EFCC probe. He also expressed governors’ support for the present administration’s war against corruption, noting, however, that they would wait for the outcome of the EFCC’s investigation. Yari said, “We discussed the issue of Paris Club and London Club. We observed that EFCC said it is doing investigations. Yeah, we support the federal government for fighting corruption. We are waiting for the EFCC to come up with what they say is the investigation and come up with the result”. The EFCC had denied that it indicted the 36 state governors for allegedly pocketing large slices of the Paris loan refund. Reacting to the report, EFCC in a statement on its twitter handle, @officialEFCC, said though investigation was ongoing on the reimbursement paid to state governments for excess Paris club deduction, it was yet to indict any governor or Senate President so far. The commission said the investigation was still at its preliminary stage, even as it refuted insinuations of attempting to cover up for some officials of the commission. The commission added that it would brief the public of the results of its investigation as at when due. The statement reads: “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been drawn to a report captioned, Nigerian State Governors, Senate President Saraki Pocketed Billions of Naira from Paris Loan Refund. “The report among others claimed that the Commission has indicted all the governors of the 36 states of the Federation and the Senate President, Bukola Saraki in the ongoing investigation of the reimbursement paid to state governments by the Federal Government for excessive deduction charged to them on account of the Paris Club and other international loans. “The Commission wishes to state unequivocally that no state governor or Senate President has been indicted so far by the investigation which is still at a preliminary stage. Also, insinuations about cover up by some officials of the Commission are untrue as there is no incentive to do so”

Asari Dokubo – I Owe Nobody An Apology For Being A Biafran, Says Those Who Incarcerated Kanu’ll Never Go Unpunished   Dokubo-Asari-says-he-has-no-apology-for-being-a-Biafra Former President of the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, and founder of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Front, NDPVF, Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has once again made it known to the world that his identity is that of a Biafran and not a Nigerian, adding that it is wrong for anybody to ask him whether he is a Biafran. He reiterated his Biafran identity Tuesday, in an open interaction with the host and Deputy leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Alphonsus Uche Okafor-Mefor on Radio Biafra London, when the latter asked him if he is a Biafran and if he supports the restoration of Biafra as championed by the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Asari-Dokubo who has once declared that contrary to the perception in most quarters that the name “Biafra” which was adopted by the then breakaway Eastern region is
