Who is MEND?

By EmmaNnaji

Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) was one of the groups that agitated for resource control during the late President Yar'adua tenure. The group stupidly accepted Nigeria govt arranged amnesty program and backed down from the struggle.If MEND were genuinely fighting for freedom of the people, they wouldn't agreed on the term "AMNESTY" because the term is incriminating and agreeing to it defined them as low life criminals seeking attention to accept stipend 

Amnesty is an official pardon given to convicts with the promise not to engage in such crime in future. Therefore it implied that MEND agreed they are criminals therein to consent to accept state pardon with an inducement payment called amnesty money. If they had any sense of purpose for freedom of the land they supposed to know that Nigerian govt is the militant that should receive amnesty and chased away. A Clear indication they were not in the business of emancipation of anybody. These men had no defined purpose rather they rode on the plight of the hopeless people to feed their greed

If they were true, freedom fighter would they have agreed to accept the pardon. If one may query,amnesty for what crime will be the right question? When did self-determination become a crime? I don't even think they are aware that an international instrument exist which backs the rights to demand for freedom but even if they know its irrelevant to them since they were only into money making movement.

 I don't think there is any further explanation to understand that MEND was a group of criminals. These criminals have made so much from their criminality. They own businesses and mansions in Lagos, Abuja and abroad.
The MEND you hear today exist only on the pages of Nigeria newspaper and online. Yoruba media MEND and Nigerian govt MEND are the ones you read their deceitful statements daily. These people do not exist even those days they were operating they wouldn't be qualified to represent anyone like IPOB under Nnamdi Kanu.

 The current media onslaught against IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu is because of the presence of the genuine freedom fighters,example Niger Delta Avengers whose action and words is evident. They show their solidarity with Nnamdi Kanu when they called for his unconditional release which is one of their 11 point demands end attacks on oil facilities in Biafraland. But the most devastating to Nigerian govt is the unification of Biafra people. The people they dismembered their ancestral bonds holding them together and demarcated their land also into what is called south-east and south-south so that they will not be able to build a united family force to counter the invaders

Because of this incredible achievement by Nnamdi Kanu to unit the entire Biafraland from Igbanke to Opopo from there to Bakkassi up to the hills of Ekoi down to the plain of Idoma down to Omanbara river in the heartland of Igboland, Nigerians and their govt are in a state of shock. Thy are still wondering how he did it. They never imagine time like this will come. They are having evil counsel day and night to devise means to destroy us further. They think MEND is the right instrument to apply since they existed before and claimed to be fighting for the Niger Delta. 

The term MEND at this moment is a media war adopted by corrupt and restless Nigerian govt in conjunction with expired and frustrated individuals from the South-South who prefer to be the slave to Hausa-Fulani. 

This MEND under discussion is an APC political party on pages of newspapers. Its was shocking to read on Vanguard Newspaper publication on 15th August 2015 "MEND says Nnamdi Kanu accepted to renounce Biafra in secret" what a ridiculous assertion. This Buhari's MEND shit propaganda against IPOB is poorly crafted like their fruitless attack media on Niger Delta Avengers. 

But who are this faceless individuals that can not come out in the open and make press statement for all to know them? The IPOB spokespersons are physically present and alive. 

Remember when Goodluck Jonathan said MEND want to kill him, it may be a fact or fallacy make no mistake that this newly crafted Buhari's MEND is solely devoted to fighting against Biafrans and all that support freedom for the eastern region. MEND is imaginary Arewa and Oduduwa organisation out to hoodwink the gullible, reason you hear pseudo names like Cynthia Whyte and Jomo Gbomo.  

Nigeria govt are aware that IPOB under Nnamdi Kanu and NDavengers are not ready to back down. They adopted this media war to deceive gullible individuals. Buhari and his cronies should know IPOB is bigger than Nnamdi Kanu. IPOB leaders sworn an oath never to go back. Those who are not in the inner circle of leadership of IPOB will understand the structure. The command structure is unbreakable even Nnamdi Kanu himself cannot break that structure at this point because its beyond an individual at this stage. So irrespective of whatever anyone do the movement is strong to surmount any challenge. Do not be deceived,the use of pseudo name called MEND is just a politics adopted by Hausa-Fulani govt and Yoruba newspapers to discredit Nnamdi Kanu. 

Let it be known to them that Nnamdi Kanu will never accept anything less than Biafra. Do you know how many people Nigeria have murdered for these course in the 1960s and recent? Anybody thinking Kanu will denounce Biafra is certifiable insane. 
Meanwhile Biafra is winning this war, that is why Nigeria govt is sleepless and restless. What they say does not matter rather what Biafra say matters so much to them. Biafra dictate for them then they follow.

 Everyone can feel Nigeria govt desperation. It means a great deal to them for Kanu to come out in the open and denounce Biafra as if Kanu is Biafra Lol!!!.. What a joke.

I don't even understand the happiness of Nigerians especially Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba. It's ridiculous. Should any of them decide today to leave Nigeria, Biafrans will not even blink. They won't even go online to plead for unity. I implore these low-life people to acquire some pride, They're all pathetic!

It seems APC MEND's Jomo Gbomo has replaced Femi Adesina, Garba Shehu and Lai Mohammed as the official spokesman of President Buhari and Nigeria govt. This Fulani govt have turn themselves into laughing stock, mocking themselves daily with baseless statements. 

As I have always said, any statement credited to someone in captivity by his captors cannot be worth the paper it is written on. The only way, Nnamdi Kanu can speak to Biafrans is through Biafran media, the public should ignore any news not authorised by the leadership of IPOB.

It is Biafra or nothing. We are winning the war, and that is why they are restless. It is only gullible and feeble minds that can fall for fake information from imaginary MEND.
