Don’t recite National Anthem in schools; placed ban Fulani herdsmen cows in Igbos region – IPOB

The outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has placed a ban on the recitation of the National Anthem in schools in the Southeast.

According to the proscribed pro-Biafra group, the ban on singing the national anthem would take effect immediately.

The group said the School authorities and proprietors have a responsibility to teach the children on Biafran National Anthem.

The group also placed a ban on cows reared by Fulani herdsmen for any social event in the region.

Newsflash Nigeria reports that this was made known in a New Year address by its Head of Directorate Mazi Chika Edoziem through its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful.

According to the proscribed pro-Biafra group, the ban on Fulani cows would take effect from April 2022.

IPOB stated that only native cows would be allowed in the region for such events, urging traditional rulers, the clergy and town unions to ensure the message reaches the grassroots.

Emma Powerful said, “The following are some of the programs and actions which the leadership will vigorously pursue in 2022.

“These are the ones we can make public for now. Others will be made known at the appropriate time.

“In furtherance of this CAMPAIGN, all IPOB family members, Biafrans and friends of Biafra are hereby urged to change their profile pictures on social media with our official campaign poster.

“Secondly all IPOB families worldwide are hereby directed to activate the earlier instruction passed down to them. We shall embark on a worldwide protest in cities and capitals around the world. The focus of our protest shall be British Embassies, the British Parliament, 10 downing street, the Kenyan Embassies, the Zoo Nigerian Embassies and International Organizations like the UN, the EU, Amnesty International and Media houses.”

The group said a new department known as the Education Department would be created.

The statement added, “The DOS will be creating a new department in IPOB to add to those already existing under the Directorate of State. The department will be designated as IPOB EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. Primary responsibility is to teach our history, language, tradition and culture to our children. We have about three books that will be published this new year in furtherance of this. After the head of this department is made public, Biafran writers will be called upon to bring forward books and educational materials to be published for our children in primary and secondary schools.

“Beginning from tonight, no more Nigerian National Anthems in all Schools in Biafraland. Our Children must no longer be reminded daily that they are under oppression by singing the national anthem of the oppressor. School authorities and proprietors have a responsibility to teach our children our national anthem. The Biafran National Anthem.

“The ban placed on Fulani cows will take effect in April 2022. Effective this month Fulani cows will not be used for any social or ceremonial events and festivals in Biafraland. Our native cows will be used instead for these events Traditional Custodians of our Culture, the Clergy and Town Unions must ensure that this message gets to the grassroots. We cannot continue to eat and bring cause and damnation upon our land and upon ourselves by consuming cows that were used for bestiality.”

Newsflash Nigeria reports that IPOB had accused Fulanis of Killing people in the southeast.

The proscribed group had also created the Eastern Security Network, ESN, to allegedly tackle and stop such killings.

But since the creation of the militia group in the region, Insecurity has been on the increase with the President Muhammadu Buhari government accusing the group of carrying out attacks.
