 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable.

 Charly Boy: ‘Biafran War scarred my youth, forced me to eat lizards’


Renowned musician Charles Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy, has reflected on the haunting memories of the Nigerian Civil War also referred to as the Biafran War.


In a post shared on his X account on the 30th of May, 2024, in honor of Biafran Day and to pay tribute to the fallen heroes who fought for the establishment of Biafra, Charly Boy expressed how the war deeply affected his youth.


He emphasized that sheer luck played a significant role in his survival.


While recounting the harrowing scenes of death and starvation during the war, he revealed resorting to eating lizards for sustenance.


Charly Boy also lamented the hardships endured by the Easterners in the aftermath of the war, while acknowledging the remarkable resilience of the Igbo people in rebuilding their lives post-conflict.


“30th May. Biafran Day

“The Nigerian Civil War (67-70) scandalized my Youth. As a teenager, it was mother luck that kept some of us alive. I saw far too many dead bodies everywhere, mostly from starvation.


“Everyday was like one’s last. Even with some food relief from The Red Cross, some of us ate Lizards as our protein. It was hell. I will never forget.


“By the time the war was over, our eastern Igbo brothers were all given £20 to rebuild their lives regardless of how many billions they had before the war.


“Lessons Learnt: Life is about navigating through hardships, bouncing back from setbacks, and maintaining a positive outlook no matter the circumstances. Resilience refers to the ability to use personal, dogged qualities to withstand pressure. That our Igbo brothers have in abundance.

“Hail Biafra,” he wrote.
