Emma said: "Also those who paid ultimate sacrifice in the field battle and protests in our land for this present generation might live will be honored and remembered, including those massacred in Asaba in 1968. They will be honoured with a 2 minute silence immediately the clock strikes 12 noon on that day."
We expect every man, woman, child and businesses to observe this great annual event by staying at home and never involve in any business activity on that day. There will be no movement in Biafraland both human and vehicular while Biafrans in diaspora will take the streets of their respective countries of residents around the globe.
However, that will be the least we can do to show them and God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama that these generation of IPOB and those to come will remain indebted to them that gave their lives to stop the elimination of Biafrans from the face of the earth," he said.
