WARNED BIAFRA|EU

BIAFRA|EU Warns FG To Respect Rights, Advises Agitators, Gives Conditions For Support. The continuous ace Bia­fra disturbances by a few gatherings have gotten the consideration of the Europe­an Union (EU) which on Tuesday gave conditions before it could bolster the battle for self-de­termination. Through its High Representa­tive for Foreign Affairs and Secu­rity, Federica Mogherini, the EU said that it would not support any outfitted battle for the actu­alisation of a free Bia­fra State.

The OEAS had approached the Eu­ropean Union's High Representa­tive for Foreign Affairs and Secu­rity to guarantee a choice for Biafra's self-principle. The association additionally de­manded the arrival of all Biafran political detainees, a stand down of Nigerian strengths, and a snap ref­erendum inside of 90 days. Yet, Mogherini, in an answer to OEAS Chief Administrative Offic­er, Dr. Jonathan Levy, clarified that the EU's official position is that while it has solid diplomat­ic and monetary ties with Nigeria, "the insurance of human rights and crucial opportunities re­mains a need for the EU and we empower the powers (Ni­geria) in each event to regard such rights." The provincial alliance told the OEAS and Biafra fomenters that self-determination and fringe changes must be as per set up worldwide laws.

The OEAS had required a globally perceived refer­endum on Biafra freedom, focusing on that it will just perceive a Biafra that develops by means of interna­tional law and not furnished battle or severance. To accomplish the choice, the OEAS solicited peaceful means, for example, "general strikes, monetary blacklists, demonstra­tions, claims, and common disobe­dience." In the interim, the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) has said that it effectively assembled five million individuals on Monday to challenge the Federal Government's proceeded with detainment of its pioneer, Dr Nnamdi Kanu, in seven states in the South East and South-South zones. The gathering had organized dissents in a few states in the two locales where three individuals were report­edly slaughtered and five others hit by stray projectiles by fighters conveyed by the powers to thwart the dem­onstrations. The IPOB censured the Abia State Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and his Rivers State partner, Chief Nyesom Wike, for their claimed mandate to the securi­ty offices to keep the gathering from doing its demonstra­tions. In a meeting with journal­ists in Nnewi, Anambra State, IPOB Media and Publicity Of­ficer, Mr. Emma Powerful, said: "regardless of the risk by the se­curity offices and the unwant­ed governors' remarks against us, we had our dissents in Delta, Abia and Enugu states. In Abia, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Bayelsa states, two million dissenters turned out. Enugu State was joined by Ebonyi State, while Anambra State joined with Del­ta State in Asaba, where we had more than three million dissenters. We will rehash same in different states soon."

Intense said that he was not amazed by the remarks of Wike and Ikpeazu in light of the fact that they have a place with the People's Democrat­ic Party (PDP) and were unpop­ular competitors forced on their states and might plan to de­fect to the All Progressives Con­gress (APC), thus their com­ments that will make them look thoughtful to the reason for the Federal Government. He brought up that the state governors in the South East and South-South and other people who were chosen by their kin can­not make careless remarks be­cause they should look for leeway from their constituents before they talk against IPOB or any genius Biafra bunch. "We are in this way, telling those states, gatherings and individ­uals who don't realize what to say or how to talk in regards to IPOB or any Biafra disturbing gathering to re­main quiet or we will visit them with the Biafran wrath.

SETTING A DIRECTION VS PLANNING AND BUDGETING

Since the function of leadership is to produce change, setting the direction of that change is fundamental to leadership. Setting direction is never the same as planning or even long-term planning, although people often confuse the two. Planning is a management process, deductive in nature and designed to produce orderly results, not change. Setting a direction is more inductive. Leaders gather a broad range of data and look for patterns, relationships, and linkages that help explain things. What’s more, the direction-setting aspect of leadership does not produce plans; it creates vision and strategies. These describe a business, technology, or corporate culture in terms of what it should become over the long term and articulate a feasible way of achieving this goal. Most discussions of vision have a tendency to degenerate into the mystical. The implication is that a vision is something mysterious that mere mortals, even talented ones, could never hope to have. But developing

ON BUHARI, NEW YORK TMES WROTE

Four months after seizing power, Nigeria’s military leaders appear to be suffering an erosion of popular support. Last Dec. 31, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari led a group of young officers in a coup against the civilian Government of President Shehu Shagari, saying the takeover was necessary to save Nigeria, Africa’s richest and most populous nation, from economic collapse. The military intervention appeared at the time to enjoy enthusiastic support from a broad range of Nigeria’s population. Many intellectuals argued that the corruption and incompetence of the Shagari administration had made drastic action both necessary and inevitable. Traders, merchants and people in the streets welcomed the soldiers and looked forward to a quick improvement in their standard of living. Growing Disappointment Recently, however, there seems to be growing disappointment with both the military Government’s approach and pace. Since coming to power, this Government has not found a sing
