How New York City Got Its Juicy Nickname “The Big Apple” — And What It Means To The World

By Chukwudum Ebele

The leader of a new self-determination group, Dominant Force for Biafra (DFB), under the leadership of Jesus Field Marshall, King, Prophet, Dr. Robinson Ike, has raised an alarm over the whereabouts of some pastors and priests in Imo State. They were reportedly abducted during several raids conducted by the Nigerian Army in Orlu under the watch of Governor Hope Uzondima.  

The pro-Biafra leader, lamenting the disappearance of the priests since 2021, called on the Imo State and Federal Governments to account for their whereabouts. He warned that they should be prepared to face the wrath of God, who has ordained him as the liberator of the Igbo people. According to him, the Igbo have faced various forms of intimidation, oppression, and persecution since the start of the civil war.

Ike further decried the untold hardship, deprivation, and frustration experienced by Igbos living in the South East and other regions, all in the name of "one Nigeria." He declared that the time had come for the Igbos to unite in purpose to liberate themselves from the socio-economic and political slavery imposed by a Nigerian government that blatantly refuses to address deliberate and irritable marginalization of the most industrious region in sub-Saharan Africa.

"There is not much federal presence in terms of infrastructure, welfare, development, and federal appointments in the upper echelons of governance. Instead, we have a large number of military personnel, supposed to be fighting terrorists in Sambisa, Benue, and Plateau States, running wild with guns, shooting, burning, abducting, and killing our sons and daughters on our own soil while thousands of people are being slaughtered nationwide by terrorists."

"In Lagos State today, Igbo traders are being tactically targeted by the state government due to their massive support for their illustrious son, Peter Obi, during the presidential election. The plan now is to weaken their financial base by embarking on the senseless demolition of their shops in the major market developed and occupied by the Igbo."

"The list is endless, and that is why Igbos must rise up and take the bull by the horns by calling for the release of all prisoners of conscience of Igbo extraction and beyond because of their belief and faith in a Biafran state under his leadership."

He added, "Where Ojukwu, Nnamdi KANU, Simon Ekpa have failed, mark it today, I will succeed in achieving the Biafra we have all clamored for. Whatever it takes, I will do it, and nothing will happen to me. I am called the World Mystique Navigator, and in no distant time, victory will be ours," said Ike.

Ike, who claimed he was divinely anointed to be the King of Igbo, further unveiled plans to embark on a mass sensitization campaign of the DFB's agenda in Onitsha, which he considers the administrative capital of Biafra.
