The United Nations charter states clearly that "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood…"
On the 26th of September 2015, the International Conference of Indigenous People held at L.Ron Hubbard Foundation Hall, 8039 S.Vermout Avenue,Los Angeles,California, recognized Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as the representative of Biafrans seeking for self-determination. IPOB was represented by Ikenna Nwanonenyi, Mazi Chris Ogwo, Goddy Ajih and Felix Nwosu. The epoch making convention had in attendance the Indigenous People of Alaska, Biafra, Zapatico, Terasco, Native America, Columbiano, Peru, Iraq, Mexico, Chaldeans, Chiapas and Mayans.
Mazi Ikenna Nwanonenyi, Deputy COC and Mobilization Officer on behalf of Indigenous People Of Biafra received an award and also signed two important documents which will be submitted to the United Nations. Thereof are:1) PETITION to United Nations: To implement the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for Indigenous People.
2) PROCLAMATION to United Nations: In support of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for Indigenous People.
The United Nations is hereby notified that Indigenous People of Biafra led by Nnamdi Kanu is the genuine representative of Biafrans exercising their right to self-determination. Biafrans all over the world have made their stand clear on who should speak for them by the ongoing petition to boycott Buhari and British Nigeria on: http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/a-call-to-boycott-buhari?mailing_id=31362&source=s.icn.em.cr&%3Br_by=14291965&r_by=14293945
Any other persons, group or delegates claiming to be representatives of Indigenous People of Biafra at the United Nation must be ignored and exposed because they do not represent the interest of Biafrans on the streets of Biafra land.
Long Live The Sovereign State Of Biafra!

Nnamdi Kanu calls for actualisation of 'State of Biafra'
Written by Lawrence Njoku, Enugu
THE agitation for the actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra took a new dimension at the weekend as its new leader in the struggle, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, declared his readiness to fight all the way.
Kanu, who spoke at a gathering of members of defunct Biafra, including aged war veterans, vowed that he would not rest until the Republic is realised.
The event, held at Ngwo, Enugu State, was the maiden commemoration of Biafran Day on May 30 in remembrance of the events of 1967 when the late Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, declared the Republic of Biafra.
Kalu, the Director of Radio Biafra, used the occasion to unveil a multi-million-naira cenotaph in memory of Biafran fallen heroes killed during the civil war.
He regretted that despite the declaration of the "No Victor, no Vanquished" after the Nigeria/Biafra Civil War in 1970, successive governments, including the President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration, had continued to deliberately marginalise and make life unbearable for the Igbo nation and its people.
He, therefore, called on all genuine Igbo people across the globe to rise up and join the crusade of putting in place the Biafran Republic, adding that it was time for the Igbo to pull out of Nigeria, which he described as "a failed nation where nothing works."
Kanu noted that it was unfortunate and painful that 47 years after the civil war, the Federal Government had bluntly refused to pay soldiers who fought on the side of Biafra all their benefits and entitlements, whereas, all their counterparts in the North and western parts of the country had received theirs.
Decrying the sufferings and agonies being faced by common Nigerians as a result of corrupt and bad governance in the country, he insisted that Nigeria is doomed and driven by world acclaimed selfish and corrupt leaders who do not believe in the well- being of the poor masses.
