Speaking with Al-Jazeera, The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has revealed that the demand for the withdrawal of the South East from Nigeria is because the nation seems not to be functioning and can never function.
Kanu further said that nothing seems to be working anymore in Nigeria as there is pain and hardship everywhere.
“What we’re fighting [for] is not self-determination for the sake of it. It’s because Nigeria is not functioning and can never function.”
Kanu who was granted bail last month, says he doesn’t care if he is flouting one of the terms for his bail which prohibits him from granting media interviews.
“I don’t care. I can’t go outside to call for a press conference. I can’t go on Biafra Radio to broadcast. I can’t allow large [groups of] people to basically congregate outside to see me … it’s like asking me not to breathe,” he said
Kanu decried the perceived marginalization of the Ibos in Nigeria, saying that they have been prevented from aspiring to assume important positions in the country such as President, Inspector General of Police, Chief of Army Staff amongst others
“I’m not allowed to contest for the presidency of Nigeria because I’m Igbo. I’m not allowed to aspire to become the inspector general of police because I’m Igbo. I’m not allowed to become chief of army staff because I’m Igbo. What sort of stupid country is that? Why would any idiot want me to be in that sort of country?” he said.
A 50-year-old man, Ahmed Echodo, has been charged to court on Tuesday for allegedly hoaxing the police to carry out a raid at a building which belongs to the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.

Security operatives had ransacked the building on Friday morning following information accusing the occupants of criminal offenses and storage of arms and ammunition.
During the search, They found nothing incriminating.
The counsel to the defense, Peter Ngwoke, pleaded the court to grant his client bail.

A 3-week-old baby left with her family’s dogs, was brutally bitten to death by the 3 pit bulls after the dogs bit her on the head and she was left unattended to.
The baby identified as Susannah Jean Murray was left alone in a bouncy for five minutes inside her Michigan home with three pit bulls serving as her only companions.
Moments of being alone, a caretaker checked on her and then the woman noticed the infant bleeding from a severe head injury and also saw that one of the dogs had blood around its mouth.
The Baby was immediately rushed to the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital where she underwent seven hours of surgery.. But unfortunately she did not make it. The Baby died at around 2a.m., the next morning.
Sgt. Terry Dixon with the GRPD when speaking of the attack said the dog who attacked the child is about 2 years old and has now been quarantined along with the two other family dogs at the Kent County Animal Shelter.
“This is a horrible tragedy, and it serves as a critical reminder to never leave a child unattended around a dog, or dogs, or pets,” said Sgt. Terry Dixon. “Always keep a watchful eye on our vulnerable youth.”
“Just the breed of a pit bull by itself is not enough to condemn it, any dog can bite something, they have teeth. I would say that this serves as a definite reminder not to leave children alone with dogs in the house.” He continued
Neighbors resident in the Grand Rapids neighborhood told the Detroit Free Press that the dogs were a dangerous nuisance, calling them “mean and vicious” and said they were always wary of them.
“I’d be scared, because when the dogs get out the fence, they used to chase us,” Hawa Abdi, a neighbor, said.
The GRPD and Child Protective Services are investigating. Dixon says they will give their investigation to the Kent County Prosecutor to review and consider any possible criminal charges.

A newly wedded bride has set herself and her hsuband ablaze after she suspected he was still communicating with an ex-girlfriend.
The woman was said to have lit a petrol keg in their No 54 Middle Road residence in the Sabon Gari area of the city, which exploded, engulfing herself and the husband.
The husband, who did not die on the spot, was rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention where he later died after suffering severe burns.
It was learnt that the woman accused her husband of infidelity shortly after she heard a conversation of her husband with an unidentified lady over the telephone.
She reportedly got angry and lit a keg of petrol within reach, which eventually exploded and engulfed their home at about 12am on Tuesday.
An eyewitness disclosed to our correspondent that the wife, who was burnt beyond recognition, died at the scene of the incident, while her husband also died at an undisclosed hospital where he was rushed to after receiving first aid at Fortress Hospital at Sarki Yaki within the metropolis.
Another eyewitness, Mr. Emmanuel Okorie, who simply identified the late husband as Emeka, said the couple hailed from Anambra State.
He said the late couple got married about five weeks ago.
He said the woman whose pregnancy should be about seven-months-old, joined the husband in Kano three weeks after the wedding.
Okorie, who could not establish whether it was the alleged telephone conversation that led to the unresolved dispute, however, told our correspondent that Emeka confided in him that his mother imposed the woman on him.
When contacted, spokesperson for the Kano State Police Command, DSP Musa Magaji Majiya, said crack detectives from the Command had commenced an investigation to unravel the cause of the dispute.

For his contribution towards the educational development of children, as well as affecting lives with his knowledge, talent and service to humanity, Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Oluranti Adebule, has commended the author of newly launched children’s book series, Mr Olusegun Akande.
At the official launch of a new book series titled, Amazing Adventures of Izi and Larry the Dinosaur, published by Quramo Publishing under its Mango Books imprint; which took place at Quintessence, Parkview Estate, Ikoyi, the Deputy Governor who was represented by the Director General, Office of Quality Assurance, Ministry of Education, Mrs Ronke Soyombo, said the book will serve as a good resource for children, parents, guardians and school authorities.
“I commend the passion and courage of the author for coming up with series of books, which signifies the rebirth of pride and passion in Nigeria and African history, culture and religion. The launch of these books has also confirmed your unrelenting efforts and contribution towards children’s educational development in our nation”, she said.
She also described the book as highly educative books that will serve as good and rich resourceful companions for professionals, teachers, principals, librarians and students, as she recommends the series to the public and encouraged parents to get copies for their children.
Also speaking, Chief Executive of Standard Chartered Bank, Mrs Bola Adesola said, “this is an encouragement to children and a welcome development, because many Nigerian children are being taken abroad at an early stage without the knowledge about their country”.
She said, “schools no longer teach history but books like these help to teach Nigerian culture, as it is easy to read , fun to understand, and helps children to connect with their culture. Segun has done a fantastic job in coming up with this. He should put it on social media such as Amazon, I-books, so that children can enjoy the graphics in it”.
Speaking on the book, the author, Olusegun Akande said “Amazing Adventures of Izi and Larry the Dinosaur tells the story of two very good friends, eight-year-old Izi and magical, flying dinosaur, Larry – who lives in a zoo.
Together, they go on wonderful adventures in which Larry teaches Izi about different ethnic groups and cultures; they see the world as a kaleidoscope of many customs and practices held together by tolerance, kindness, and understanding. This unique series comes in a box set of five intriguing stories”.
When asked about his motivation behind this exciting new children’s book series, the author, Mr. Olusegun Akande explained,
“the objectives of these books are three-fold.
First of all, I want to create a new generation of Nigerians and Africans that are proud of their heritage. I’m very concerned about the poor knowledge of our history and origins, and as a result, our lack of pride in heritage.
By educating our children via the history of nations across Africa, we stand a far better chance of fostering future generations of dedicated, hardworking, innovative, and progressive Africans.
Secondly, I want children to grow up understanding, respecting, and embracing Nigerians / Africans of different cultures and beliefs. Only by doing so, can we have unity and hence progress. And finally, these books are designed to encourage children to be true to themselves”.
The Marketing Director of Izi and Larry Literature, Ms. Toyosi Olatunji added that “these series of books will cover countries right across Africa. In other words, Izi and Larry will go on adventures across many African countries. Africa has huge potential; and by educating and enlightening our children, we stand a far better chance of actualising that potential”.
