Biafra declaration will restore peace, stability to West Africa – BRGIE

The Biafra Republic Government In-Exile, BRGIE, has claimed the declaration of Biafra Liberation on December 2, 2024, will bring about peace and stability in the West African region.
Simon Ekpa, who is known as the Prime Minister of BRGIE, disclosed this in a statement via his official X handle on Thursday.
This is coming amid vow by the Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa that Ekpa must be arrested and prosecuted.
However, Ekpa noted that the declaration of Biafra meant total freedom from Nigeria.
He stressed that the liberation of Biafra would put an end to the insecurity surge in Nigeria.
According to him, “in preparation for the declaration of the Restoration of Independence state of Biafra, BRGIE has engaged a Lobbying Firm in Washington DC to represent the Biafra government effective from June 12, 2024.”
He added that the marginalization of Biafrans will be a thing of the past from December.
“As the Biafra Declaration of 2nd December 2024 comes closer, our objective is to see Biafra total freedom from Nigeria, which will help to restore peace and stability in the entire Sahel region, it will also help to end terrorism in West Africa.
“The Biafra Republic Government In Exile BRGIE under my leadership has hired one of the prominent Lobbying Firm in Washington DC to represent the Biafra government effective from 12.6.2024.
“Our arms remain wide open to other possibilities across the board. Biafrans are ready to make friends with whoever is willing to help in the Liberation, we have no enemies other elements in the Nigeria state”, he said.
About three weeks ago, Ekpa’s BRGIE announced that it has dragged the Nigerian government to the African Union over Biafra Liberation and the continued detention of the Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

16-year-old student swept away by flood

A final-year student at Government Day Secondary School, Samaru, Zaria, Kaduna State, Miss Praise Malachi, tragically lost her life to flooding while rushing home to check her SSCE results, which a friend had told her were excellent.
The 16-year-old had earned a scholarship from the Centre for Girls Education, Zaria, in recognition of her outstanding academic performance.
Her father, Emmanuel Malachi, recounted that around 6:00 pm after heavy rain, Praise’s friends informed her at his shop about her results. Excited, she hurried home to check them on her phone but slipped while crossing a small river formed by severe erosion and was swept away by the floodwaters. Her body was recovered the next day in Hunkuyi, Kudan Local Government Area.
Neighbors Danladi Mudi and Emma Yashi explained that the area’s worsening erosion has made it highly prone to flooding, with several children having lost their lives in similar incidents before.
Habiba Mohammed, Director of the Centre for Girls Education, described Praise as an exceptional student and expressed deep sorrow over her death. She urged authorities to address the erosion problem and build a bridge on the dangerous road to prevent further tragedies.

Risks include foodborne illnesses, allergic reactions, and organ damage, and in severe cases, death.

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) advises Nigerians to be vigilant and avoid purchasing counterfeit 12g Cowbell “Our Milk” sachets circulating across the country.
In a statement issued on Friday, the agency explained that the counterfeit product imitates the discontinued Cowbell “Our Milk” packaging, which Promasidor Nigeria Ltd stopped producing in September 2023.
The legitimate product was replaced with Cowbell “Our Creamy Goodness.”
The fake sachets unlawfully bear the Cowbell brand name, NAFDAC registration number and packaging design, despite not being manufactured or distributed by Promasidor.
The counterfeit products currently in circulation are imitations of the discontinued ‘Our Milk’ packaging and are not manufactured or distributed by Promasidor,” the agency stated.
“They bear unauthorised use of the brand name, NAFDAC Registration Number, and packaging design.”
The regulator raised concerns over the health risks posed by the counterfeit product.
“Risk Statement: Consumption of counterfeit milk poses serious health hazards, including exposure to toxic chemicals, unapproved additives, or diluted ingredients.
Risks include foodborne illnesses, allergic reactions, and organ damage, and in severe cases, death.
Infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly are particularly vulnerable,” NAFDAC warned.
