“We celebrate 30th of May as our heroes and heroines day
when we remember the men and women who died that we may live, before, during,
and after the Nigeria genocidal war against Biafrans between 1967 and 1970 and
beyond and even until now.
“Annually, 30th of May is a solemn memorial day for
Biafrans. To honor our heroes and heroines. Biafrans are asked to observe this
one day sit-at-home in reverence to the spirits of our departed heroes who
fought for us to be alive today.
“Every Biafran in Biafra territory is expected to
sit-at-home on this day and reflect on the danger of the forced unity called
Nigeria that has taken millions of lives of Biafrans. Other Biafrans outside
Biafra territory are also encouraged to honor our heroes by observing the
sit-at-home if possible or by limiting their activities on this day.
“To that effect, IPOB directs all schools, government
offices, Private offices, Banks, transport unions, market unions and private
individuals to shut down all operations in honor of our heroes and heroines on
Thursday, May 30, 2024.
“Exceptions to these directives are institutions and
individuals on special duties such as Nurses, Doctors, Ambulance services,
Hospitals, and medical workers who are allowed to operate on that day.
“We call on Christians and traditional worshipers to use
this day to pray to Chukwu Okike Abiama for the fallen heroes and also pray for
Biafra Independence from this murderous contraption called Nigeria.
“Heroes Remembrance Day is a call to duty for Biafrans to
remember and honour our fallen heroes who were brutally murdered between 1967
to 1970 during the genocidal war against Ndigbo before and beyond.
“Biafrans living in the Northern and Western part of the zoo
called Nigeria will join and stay indoors for this commemoration and
remembrance of our heroes and heroines who died so that we may live.”
