" The registration, mandatory under the U. S. Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 and for " public disclosure" , entails filing documents, including completed predesigned forms marked Exhibits A and B, and the agreements stipulating the full details of the contract.

After the firm was engaged by Kanu to undertake " political activities" in the U. S. on behalf of IPOB. The activities include engaging the U. S. government, Congress and the Department of State, (the equivalent of Foreign Affairs Ministries in Nigeria and other countries) and engaging policymakers on behalf of IPOB.

In addition, BWGG " may also undertake other similar services that might be referred to BWGG from the IPOB from time to time by mutual agreement. "

Nnamdi Kanu and the separatist campaign

" Mr Kanu, a British and Nigerian national, has a relatively strong footing in the U. K. His engaging lobbyists to win the support of the U. S. appear to be part of a broader move to win the buy- in of western powers in the separatist cause of IPOB. " PREMIUM TIMES
