BIAFRA : Uma Ukpai slams Biafra agitators, backs Igbo presidency

The President of Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Association, Rev. Uma Ukpai, has condemned Biafra Republic agitators, saying they have shown “the level of their madness”.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) are spearheading the separation of the South East from Nigeria.

The groups have had several clashes with security forces that left some people dead and others injured.

But speaking to reporters in Uyo yesterday, Ukpai insisted that Biafra agitation was not in the interest of Nigeria.

According to him, any one agitating for Biafra at this point has shown the level of his or her madness.

“There will always be crazy people, even when people are seen to be normal. Whoever is agitating for Biafra has shown the level of his madness. But everybody is mad, the difference is the level of your madness,” the popular cleric said.

On the agitation for a president of Igbo extraction in 2023, he said a South Easterner deserves a chance to rule the country.

Ukpai also condemned those demanding the breakup of Nigeria urging them to stop.

He lamented poverty, greed, selfishness and lack of compassion in the country, saying no meaningful progress would be made until there was a change.

“As a nation until we love one another, we cannot notice one another, only when we love that which we have that we can develop. But we don’t care whether others eat or not. If we have no respect for one another, it also means we don’t care whether others exist or not,” the cleric said.

On the warning issued for the restructuring of the country to forestall a breakup by the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Ukpai said his co-clergy “is entitled to his opinion”.

According to him, Adeboye probably gave the warning because of what happened during the civil war.

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...
