The National Democratic Congress (NDC) minority in Parliament is shocked and dismayed at efforts by the Minister of Health to distort and misrepresent the terms, understanding and rationale that underpinned the establishment of the University of Ghana Hospital. This Hospital had been part of a bigger plan of the University of Ghana to develop a comprehensive Medical Centre towards achieving independence in medical education, research and care in a sustainable manner. The prime mover of this idea, the late Professor Charles Easmon, first Dean of the Ghana Medical School, together with Professor Honda of Japan anticipated funding from JICA for implementation of this medical complex. The Noguchi Memorial Institute was constructed in 1979 to mark the beginning of the development of that project. The rest of the plan was held in abeyance till 2011 when our late President, Professor Evans Atta Mills cut the sod for the building of the hospital for the University. Other projects for th

At the United Nations on Tuesday, Ambassador Nikki Haley spoke about the protesters in Iran, saying, " We must not be silent, the people of Iran are crying for freedom". After reading from Fox News, this statement from the USA Ambassador to the United nations, I am forced to ask, why have USA remained silent as Biafrans die in their numbers in Nigeria. Does it mean that Biafrans does not deserve freedom? We should not forget that it took just demonstration from some Iranians and the USA is already out speaking for them. Then why is the United States Of America silent over the plight of Biafrans in Nigeria? Biafrans fought a war in 1967. This war raised a very huge humanitarian crisis and questions. No rule of engagement was honoured, as Nigeria supported by Britain, Russia and Egypt kept on bombing everything that moved. They blockaded Biafra, using hunger as a legitimate weapon of war. Their fighter jets bombed schools, hospitals, civilian houses, farmlands a

Trump said we are from "shithole" countries. I see the AU giving statements. I see the anger on social media. But... Do you blame him? You are given the opportunity to visit or study in country B and you refuse to go back home. When you are asked why? You give a thousand reasons that say B is better than A. Now you want to blame Trump for putting words to what you have always demonstrated? You stay in someone's land until your strength is worn out. You give it all your brain power and physical strength. You refuse to  see that your country needs more help than the developed country you refuse to leave. Now you are screaming Trump is a racist? Do you even see that what you are doing to your country is worse than racism? I think you should take a look at yourself first before you point fingers at Trump. Trump is not the problem; you are the problem. You scream that they took able bodied people from your continent thus crippled you. Today, they are literally doing every

As Donald Trump, the President of America will be completing his one year in office come January 20, 2018 with numerous giant strides of his administration within and outside United States of America, the people of Biafra are calling on Mr Donald Trump to remember the people of Biafra in West Africa who have being gnashing teeth and crying due to the oppressive and humiliating government of Nigeria since 1914. The people of Biafra all over the world appreciates his for the giant step which he took in recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel amidst the threats of Arab world. In fact, the flash point of all the achievements of Donald Trump in his first year in office outside America is the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel which has eluded many previous Presidents of America due to the political bubble of Arab world. As the flash point of Donald Trump first year in office is in the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the people of Biafra wor

Any action by a government in the form of policy and strategy is an input that will generate one or multiple output(s) in the future. Creating hostile environment for an appointee to resign is indeed forced resignation. Dr Johnson Asiamah  joined the BoG as a young man and rose to the position of deputy governor of the BoG under the former government. The noise about his resignation in the media to be replaced by another Ghanaian that the current government considers to be either a friend or a member has been going on for sometime. One may ask, what may be the reason to ask Dr Asiamah to resign?. We can only imagine based on facts emanating from pronouncements regarding appointments to public sector positions. Intolerance of a government to accommodate all Ghanaians to work to contribute to nation building is one of the problematic ills of governance in the country . The current governor and the first deputy governor were appointed by the current government, would there be any

The just concluded CAF Award held in Accra Ghana has come under serious attack after a political parrot took to his Facebook page to lash out at the organizers and artists who grace the annual event. The political parrot as he is been called in Nigeria state, and I quote"Instead of treating us to some good Ghanaian performances, as well, CAF decided to populate the stage with Naija ones plus others, including a Nigerian artiste who was dressed as if he lost his way to the gym.  I hear he is called Wizkid" Our correspondence in Nigeria caught up with the artist and put the question about the comment to him and this is what he said concerning the event, Yes its true Ghana hosted the event and it also true the majority of the artists came from Nigeria but Ghanaians should not expect an event which attracts world attention to entertain by none intercontinental musicians who only communicate in local languages but for me I call it events for stars and not local champions an

While we [Ghanaians] support all governments and state institutions to be serious about the fight against corruption, it must be done within the ambits of the law and must not be used as witch- hunt ostensibly to discredit the last administration or to undermine the opposition NDC. Perhaps we need to draw President Akufo-Addo's attention to the fact that while he is busy  planning how he is going to witch- hunt his political opponents, his Vice, appointees and persons claiming closeness to him have in the last 11 months been pilling up sleazes that also need his attention. The President's own body language whenever he touches on his anti-graft initiative and the office of the special prosecutor and postings and statements coming from persons who work at the presidency and his party officials and supporters give clear indication that the office of the special prosecutor is going to used to intimidate the opposition and all who courageously condemn ongoing corruption in his a

                                             Para a imprensa dos escritores familiares Como os povos indígenas de Biafra (IPOB) sob o comando supremo de Mazi Nnamdi Kanu arrastaram o governo da Nigéria para o tribunal da União Africana de Direito Humano e Popular, comumente conhecido como Comissão Africana, por um número incontável de abusos de direitos humanos sobre pessoas Biafra na terra de Biafra, o O mundo está agora assistindo e esperando saber se o governo nigeriano também intimidará a União Africana, assim como intimidou o tribunal da Comunidade Econômica do Estado da África Ocidental (CEDEAO) em um caso pendente entre Mazi Nnamdi Kanu e o governo da Nigéria, que o tribunal da CEDEAO não possui poderes judiciais atribuídos ao tribunal para emitir decisões desde 3 de março de 2016, quando o caso foi instituído. Pode-se lembrar que existe um caso pendente de violação de direitos humanos que o próprio Mazi Nnamdi Kanu instituiu contra o governo da Nigéria no tribunal da CEDEA

In keeping with our promise to facilitate  the creation of an unbiased informative platform to take the message of liberation to the down trodden and oppressed indigenous populations of Northern Nigeria, we the family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide and it’s indomitable leadership, wish to happily announce the official launch of the much anticipated IPOB sponsored Radio Nigeria Hausa Service. The maiden daily broadcast will hit the airwaves on Saturday the 6th of January 2018 at 7PMNigerian time on Short Wave 15110 KHz 19 Meter Band. The broadcast will have the widest coverage of any radio signal in Africa. It will be received all over West,  East and Southern Africa. Every Hausa speaking community in Africa will be able to receive it. In our opinion, we feel it has become imperative to educate the poor masses of Northern Nigeria. The ruling class cleverly enslaved and impoverished ethnic populations of the North by keeping vital information and knowled

                                                  Biafra Will Be The Test for Trump If Trump is serious about fighting radical Islam then the first thing he needs to do in Africa is to break direct relations with the Buhari government in Nigeria.  Buhari is a known smypathizer of radical Islam and supports the spread of Sharia Law south of the Sahara. Furthermore, Biafra, the region made up of a unique Judeo-Christian culture dominated by the Igbo tribe was forcibly fused together by the British with the Yaruba and the Muslim Hausa in the North to form Nigeria in 1914. Biafra has been continuously oppressed by their Muslim rulers for not following Sharia.  Buhari utilized his friendship with Obama to gain powerful weapons and instead of using them to destroy ISIS affiliated groups he has turned his guns on the south through proxies like the Muslim Fulani herdsman.  Thousands of Igbo have been put into jail, including IPOB leader Nnmadi Kanu for treason. Trump can roll back ra

Hellooo Manasseh, Greetings from Binduri. Long time no hear. How body now? Hmmmm, naa waa for you ooooooo. Time they say sweeps everything along and can bring good as well as evil; evil as well as good. At no point in time would this adage ever be appropriately used than now. Manasseh, he who pebble the other asks for rocks in return. You had enough time to travel to Burkina Faso and interviewed Mr. Jibril Kanazoe; a private businessman who voluntarily donated a Ford Expedition worth $100,000 to Former President John Dramani Mahama. Remember???? You were proudly beating your chest and shouting on roof tops that HE John Dramani Mahama is very corrupt and should be impeached, something the current Majority in parliament which was Minority then tried to but failed. Sadly however, you can't find time to investigate the numerous scandals going on in Ghana today? You even had time for the Goats Chairman; Uncle Billy Naabs, who is so much corrupt that he couldn't resist a

Innocent Chukwuma, CEO of Innoson Nigeria Limited, has filed a N200 billion lawsuit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). According to a statement shared with TheCable, the lawsuit has been filed at the Enugu high court by Joseph N. Mbadugha of McCarthy Mbadugha & Co, the counsel to Innocent Chukwuma. Chukwuma is suing the EFCC for defamation, malicious falsehood and unlawful imprisonment. The Innoson boss had been arrested by the capital market and insurance fraud unit of the EFCC on December 19, claiming that he resisted arrest and used forged documents to get tax waivers. Chukwuma maintained that at no time did Innocent Chukwuma receive an invitation or was invited by the EFCC or was there any time he jumped an administrative bail granted by the EFCC, his spokesperson, Cornel Osigwe, said. “Innoson is a public figure and a well-known industrialist of international repute. There is no how he would be invited by the EFCC and he would ignore or

By this position now taken by the President on the raging debate on Restructuring of Nigeria, it is obvious that the Proprietors of the Master-Servant Nigeria, defined by the fraudulent 1999 Constitution, have just declared  Nonnegotiable, the Apartheid-like oppressive and obnoxious Constitutional Structures, imposed on the rest of Nigeria by those who in 1966, truncated the Federal basis of Nigeria, and who by various Decrees, made the 1979 and 1999 so-called "Constitutions", in which we now have 36 mostly unviable States 774 lame, spoonfed Local Government Areas; a Quota System that coronates Mediocrity and humiliates Excellence; an Accounting System that creates a massive Framework for Corruption and  Comprehensively protects the beneficiaries of Corruption via a blanket Immunity Clause; that erects a 68-Item Federal Exclusive Legislative List which comprehensively Hijack and Confiscate both the Assets of Federating Units and the Right to Work those Assets, amongst ma

By Comr.Chukwu Ogbu It all begun on 29th may 2016, my wife who is a hardcore christain and lovers of Biafra had awoken me at the dead of the night to warn me about an impending doom set to occur.
