IPOB Do Not Abandon Their Own

The 8th of December 2019, cannot be forgotten in a hurry nor in a jiffy in the world of Gasline Zone, Aba, Abia state, for it's a promise made, a promise fulfilled. Gasline zone is not only doing great in Abia state but dazzling as well as Delta State and Imo state respectively. 

Gasline zone is a zone other zones should learn from, their tenacities and the successes recorded by this zone in a short while is worthy of emulation. It has come to the notice of IPOB loyalists that this zone is another mirror or rather a reflection of how the struggle for self-determination should be.  Their achievement has compelled me to say that Gasline zone is full of hardcore that have imbibed the IPOB maxim of 'Onurube nwanne agbala oso) be your brother's keeper. They showed it with the visit to one of their own killed by marauding Fulani Bokoharam joint Nigeria security force at Nkpor, Omambara with supportive gifts to the family he left behind. What an atmosphere and a great joy to speak out boldly and without any ambiguity that the Indigenous peoples of Biafra (IPOB), don't leave their own behind nor forget theirs, to be precise. 

No matter how you look at it, IPOB has shown that she is a force to be reckoned with all over the world that none could ignore or rather ignore at one's peril. IPOB is a movement that banished loneliness and carter for theirs and continues with it to its logical conclusion without bias. It is a phenomenon that had transcended from their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Ohamadike 1 of Biafraland. This gesture was witnessed in Gasline Zone and is present at every place and point of this gracious movement called IPOB. 

It is a common saying among them that no one ignores the cry of a brother (onuru ube nwanne agbala oso). That is why the reply to their greeting in the movement is one family. IPOB! One family! IPOB is the consolation of the downtrodden and oppressed. She is the hope of a nation defeated by the combined forces of Russia, Britain and Nigeria. They planned to wipe Biafrans out of the face of the earth through principles and policies to emasculate a race economically to put them down continually. Biafrans are winning, and maybe they will at this time actualise their republic of Biafra. All hail Biafra.
