Mazi Chinasa Nworu Reaffirms IPOB’s Mandate and Mission in Clarion Broadcast to Biafrans Worldwide (Part 1)
Bremen, Germany – October 13, 2025
In a widely anticipated broadcast on October 11, 2025, Mazi Chinasa Nworu, a member of the Directorate of States (DOS) of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), addressed Biafrans and supporters of freedom across the world.
Speaking on Radio Biafra, Nworu clarified misinformation circulating online and re-echoed IPOB’s enduring vision of a sovereign and independent Biafran nation.
Below is Part One of his broadcast.
“Biafrans and all the lovers of freedom, good evening, good morning, and good night, depending on where you are listening tonight.
My name is Mazi Chinasa Nworu. Mazi Chinasa Nworu serves the Indigenous People of Biafra as a member of the IPOB Directorate of States. Today, I am here to speak to our people, to inform our people, to clarify, and educate our people, so that those who are always in confusion because of information that is being circulated on social media and unverified platforms, today, most of those issues will be addressed.
Unfortunately, I have taken a long time to come on radio. I think the last time I came was in July, but it was not intentional because there are a lot of responsibilities and a lot of engagements—things we do behind the doors, or assignments that need to be carried out, because we know that the Biafran struggle is not only on social media. Yes, the news media, the social media, is a platform where we create awareness, but apart from that, there are other things we need to do that are not supposed to be on social media.
Whenever I come on social media, you have to know it is time to speak to our people, because one thing very, very disappointing is that our people always derail. They are easily confused; it seems like most of them are not grounded in what we are doing. That is why, if anybody comes out tomorrow, if IPOB is not there, all of them will be swept out with false information and false narratives, because our people make their decisions based on emotion, and that is one of the difficult things we are having in this struggle.
But this evening, I want to remind everybody, whoever that is listening, why we are here, why the Biafra struggle, why we are doing what we are doing, and why, if we have not achieved these things, none of us is giving up on this fight, and none of us is going to back down.
This evening, for those who are IPOB members, most of whom can quickly find our mission statement, but for those who are not IPOB members, you can also pick up your pen, because this evening I want to start with the IPOB mission statement. It is very, very important that I am going to read out the IPOB mission statement, why every one of us, why over millions of people rose up from all corners of the world fighting for Biafra freedom.
In 2012/13, when Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was broadcasting, when IPOB started newly, people wanted to know why he was gathering people around the world talking about Biafra. When he was gathering all of us around the world, we had a mission statement, and this mission statement, for over a decade, we have maintained. That is why most of us in this struggle, you cannot buy us, you cannot buy us.
Most of us in this struggle have never participated in Nigerian politics, and that is how Chukwuokike Abiama wants it, because He preserved most of these men who run this struggle today. He kept them away from Nigerian politics, because had it been that some of us were in Nigerian politics, due to the way Nigerian politics is being run, we would have been blackmailed in one way or the other. Maybe there would have been a contract given to us one time or the other, or maybe there would have been something that the Nigerian government would capitalize on to hunt the IPOB leaders.
Before I go on, let me clear this, the acronym IPOB stands for the Indigenous People of Biafra. We are indigenous to the geographical space called Biafra, we originate from a single ancestry.
‘The Indigenous People of Biafra incorporate those Biafrans resident in Biafraland and in the Diaspora, bound and united by One Single Objective, which is to explore and utilize every available legal, domestic, and international framework, as well as universally guaranteed rules and procedures, to assert the right to self-determination of the Biafran people and eventually be able to determine our own economic, political, cultural, and legal system in a sovereign and independent Biafra nation.
The Indigenous People of Biafra Worldwide families are accorded official legal status in over 80 countries throughout the world. These established structures in different countries of the world are the official representatives of the Indigenous People of Biafra, with the sole responsibility to deal and communicate directly with the government and people of their host countries in order to bring to their attention and knowledge the atrocities being committed against Biafrans by the Nigerian establishment.
Our Belief:
We, the Indigenous People of Biafra, hold this truth, that all men are created equal and endowed by our Creator with the inherent and inalienable right, among which are the right to life, liberty, the right to personal and societal development, and the pursuit of happiness, to be self-evident.
Our Objectives:
Having recognized those endowments from the Most High, we, the Indigenous People of Biafra, affirm our right to Self-determination. We affirm our immutable right to freely determine our Economic, Political, and cultural Systems as recognized, guaranteed, and proclaimed through the United Nations on the Rights of Indigenous People to Self-Determination and Articles 7, 8, 9, and 11 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, ratified and domesticated by Nigeria in 1983. Taking into account the danger of extinction facing us as a people, we have taken the task of ensuring the conservation of the Cultural heritage and National values of the Indigenous People of Biafra for the benefit of our children and for the generations of Biafra yet unborn.
Whereas Biafrans have suffered untold violence and violations of our fundamental human rights at the hands of the Nigerian state establishment, the protection of this universal fundamental human right of the Indigenous People of Biafra, including the right to self-determination as expressed in the Charter of the United Nations, the General Declaration of Human Rights, International Human Rights, and the UN Declaration of 2007 on the Rights of Indigenous People, are objectives for which we are prepared to sacrifice our lives for the benefit of our children.
We have taken up the responsibility to utilize all legally permissible international rules and processes to further protect, defend, and pursue our right to self-determination as expressed in the United Nations Declaration of 2007 concerning the rights of Indigenous People, especially in Articles 3 and 4.
Our Vision:
It is our conviction that a sovereign, independent Biafran nation will be a crystallization of the cherished hope and aspiration of a people who see the establishment of this territory as a last hope for peace and security, and above all, a last hope for the survival of a people whose existence is under great threat of extinction. We, the Indigenous People of Biafra, make a deliberate decision and choice and adopt a non-violent methodology in the pursuit of our ultimate goal of an independent and sovereign Biafran nation.
The Biafra we agitate for is a Biafra for which the ultimate price has been paid by millions of Biafrans, one in which the sanctity of life is respected, our dignity as a people is restored, and individual rights and liberties are recognized and protected. The rule of law is paramount, and all are answerable to and equal before the law, a Biafran nation that will take its pride of place amongst the committee of nations.’
Biafrans, why I decided to start with the IPOB mission statement is for those who, for the past four years, decided, immediately after the rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to unleash their media propaganda and evil plans against this movement. It has been over a decade since IPOB has been championing this struggle. Before the rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, there was nothing somebody could say IPOB had done that was wrong. Irrespective of that, the Nigerian government quickly proscribed IPOB because they didn’t want our people to support the movement. That’s why they quickly proscribed IPOB.
But in these couple of years since Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was renditioned, it is very clear that it was all intentional. The moment they renditioned Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Nigerian government released and pushed out criminals through some Igbo politicians. They were all facilitators of what happened in our land.
If you find out how they jailed this Ekperima in Finland, his crimes were calculated from August 2021 till November 2024. Within this period, all the atrocities committed in this space are what they used in jailing this Ekperima in Finland. He was used. It was Southeastern politicians that used him. They used him and they continued, but all in the name of IPOB, despite the press releases we made from the beginning, when they renditioned Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, we continued. But many of our people did not understand what the Nigerian government was planning.
The military have their own plans, the DSS have their own plans, the NIA have their own plans, the Southeast politicians have their own, everybody have their own reasons why IPOB must be destroyed. The northern politicians have a reason why IPOB must be destroyed, why Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be destroyed. Some of us are not learning. Many things the leadership comes on the radio to speak to you people about, right from the time our leader was renditioned, we know, we got information of what was going on.
Some of you might think that the jailing of Simon Ekpa is the end of the whole game. No. Some of you did not know that, had it been we did not make the move we made, had it been we did not start in time, from December 2021 when we started to scream, to disassociate ourselves from all these crimes, today there would be no IPOB. IPOB leadership would have gone down the drain, and that was the plan.
Most of you do not understand that in Nigeria there are certain things you can post because of the corrupt system. Cybercrime, you cannot be convicted in Nigeria. But in the diaspora, there are countries that have their own cybercrime laws. It is totally different, you can be convicted, and that is what Nigeria took advantage of with Simon Ekpa.
People were deceiving him; they were championing him, even when he was being investigated. Some lawyer came on social media and said they can’t do him anything, he is a European citizen. They told him rubbish, he is a citizen, and today they have sentenced him. As soon as they sentenced him, all of them disappeared. Automatically sentenced him for terrorism; they took away his nationality. It is automatic. All of them who were using his picture have all disappeared from social media. They are all gone, for you people to know.
But we have been here. We’ve supported Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We have supported the struggle. In 2015, when he was arrested, when he was kidnapped in Lagos, we were here that time. We mobilized the protest from Agbor down to Enugu. Chinasa Nworu was there; the records are there. Members of the DOS, all of them were still in IPOB because we understood.
The second time they renditioned Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, we screamed, we shouted, but many people didn’t want to listen because of money. The Igbo politicians were really sponsoring them. They can only pay you for three or four months; after that, they have infiltrated you, they will arrest all of you and disappear you people.
Go to Ebonyi State, many of our people were disappeared in Ebonyi State because most of them jumped. It was very horrible. Those who were giving them those ideas, people like Dave Umahi, he told them, because you can hear it among the boys saying, “Ojukwu came from Anambra; he fought for Biafra and failed. Uwazuruike came from Imo State; Nnamdi Kanu came from Abia State and he’s in jail, he has failed. Now it is the turn of Ebonyi.” This was the mentality they used on them. They used it and they moved our youths from Ebonyi State. Dave Umahi said he did not want problems in Ebonyi State. In collaboration, they moved all kinds of people inside Imo State, and today most of you have seen it.
All these things are why they are still holding Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. They are looking for a way to heap these crimes on him. They are looking for a way to destroy IPOB and the Biafran agitation with these crimes. Before this time, nobody talked badly about IPOB. People should know, with this mission statement, it attracted a lot of people into the struggle: from doctors to lawyers to professors to businessmen. People came supporting this struggle. People came from all walks of life, Biafrans in the diaspora, everywhere, supporting, before the rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
We continue to profess that mission statement in the diaspora and everywhere. The IPOB leadership maintains those principles. Down at home, if we were not talking to them, it’s a different thing, we were talking to them, informing them, telling them the dangers of what was to happen. If there were no radio, if there was no social media, it would have been a different game. They would have said, “We don’t know; nobody informed us.” But Chukwuokike Abiama, everybody can bear witness, it was a fight between the light and the darkness. We fought, trying to take our people away from the traps set by the federal government and their agents, but unfortunately, many communities fell into the traps.
The Nigerian government knows very well the criminals and those who are killing our own people, but they never mention their names one day. They knew everything about Simon Ekpa. Everybody has to ask themselves: in all these things, upon all the boys they caught in Imo State and many places, have you ever seen where they brought somebody who confessed they are working under Ekpa? Did they do it? No.
But they managed to get somebody we were trying to save, who went for an amnesty for them. They paraded him because somehow I informed him to leave his criminality. I was trying to pull him out because they were among the people trying to enforce sit-at-home. He said he was going to take amnesty. Unfortunately, he went for the amnesty, and they paraded him because Chinasa Nworu’s name was involved.
Do you think that if there is anybody that has anything to do with this present DOS in Imo State, the Imo State government and the Nigerian government will not be parading them or tagging him IPOB/ESN, knowing quite well that IPOB has nothing to do with all these crimes?
People were advising them, some legal professionals were advising them to stop, that it is going to backfire on them, because they will continue doing this thing, and at a point, like what is happening now, they will kill all these people. Who again will they tag it on? Nobody.”
