BIAFRA : Group urges IPOB, MASSOB to stop Biafra agitation

 

The Igbo Youth Assembly (IYA) has called on the South East groups clamouring for secession from Nigeria to stop their agitation and embrace peace.

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra and Indigenous People of Biafra are the leading separatist groups in the region.

In a statement yesterday after its virtual general assembly, the President-General of the IYA, Ifeanyi Nwaudunna, and Secretary-General, Casmir Irekamba, accused some South East leaders of encouraging youths in the zone to clamour for secession.

According to the group, the leaders are using the groups to achieve self-interest.

The statement reads in part: “Nigeria as a nation and country is better united and remains as one indivisible entity. If divided or disintegrated, will lose its glory of diversity, economic, political-military- numerical-technical power and strength.

“It is very unfortunate that this misguided agitation from these Igbo groups has adversely affected the peace-loving and hardworking Igbo doing their legitimate business all over Nigeria. Of what basis will any well-meaning Igbo person call for secession and disintegration of Nigeria?”

The group condemned the South East leaders supporting the various groups agitating for secession.

The statement said: “What Igbo need at this moment is to strategise politically towards 2023, form strong alliances across the North and South to be fully involved in national engagements.

“The threat by IPOB, MASSOB and others and their sponsors on secession are not in the best interest of Igbo people, hence such agitation must be jettisoned forthwith.

“No true Igbo leader or patriot will clamour for Nigeria’s disintegration, but would rather seek a united prosperous Nigeria.”

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
