Leader of the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, yesterday, charged members of the movement to remain steadfast and focused in the revolutionary struggle, saying that the non-violent method adopted by MASSOB had become a source of worry to the so-called northern socio-cultural group, Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, and the Nigerian military.
Uwazuruike insisted that there was no going back in his bid to actualize Biafra now or never, stressing that he was in the struggle for freedom not for any other person but for his own children, who, he said, desire a free country where the security of their lives and properties can be guaranteed.
The MASSOB leader, who spoke through the Deputy National Director for Information, Mazi Chris Mocha, weekend, at a special meeting of Enugu West Senatorial District, in Nachi, Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, lamented that since Nigeria got her independence in 1960, it had never guaranteed security of lives and properties of Ndigbo, a situation, which he claimed, persuaded him to seek independence of Biafra.

He regretted that such elite, because of the peanuts they were getting from the oppressors, would accept to sabotage the Biafra struggle without knowing how much MASSOB had laboured in the past 16 years, insisting that their plans were bound to fail.
According to Uwazuruike, “ACF had asked Allah to give them Boko Haram, he gave to them and they became comfortable with its outcome. Afenifere elders had Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, fighting for social justice in Yoruba land.
“I am very happy that Biafra is being talked about all over the world and people are being killed and detained for the sake of Biafra. So, if I fail to get Biafra, then I would have failed to do what Ndigbo expected of me and if I also die for the sake of Biafra, I will be fulfilled.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

My Brother you will not die in this cause so far as you can achieve your freedom without voilence.
ReplyDeleteUwazuruike is deceiving his type of people. BIAFRA is part of Nigeria history. Nothing can bring back BIAFRA.
ReplyDeleteAll Igbo people do not support the new groups calling themselves different names.
Uwazuruike is playing with the life of Igbo youths, adults and elders. He will not fight war if he see it.

Uwazuruike is just an unserious joker that wants to waste the youths and destroy the Igbo nation. Tell me how many Igbos that were devastated by the civil war, on account of Biafra will ever support this demonic agitation by a few miscreants. The Igbos live and make their livings in every part of Nigeria. A lot own more properties and other assets outside the so-called Biafra. For sure, some States like Delta, Bayelsa, Edo, Rivers, Cross River will not be part of this distraction in the name of Biafra. The federal and state governments should move on the leaders of this group and save our lives. We pray the affliction of Biafra will not come a second time.
ReplyDeleteMay the LORD ALMIGHTY give you the desire to tell the Brafria the truth
Deleteif you grant ibo independence...the over 5million ibos in rivers state will automatically
ReplyDeleteturn the rivers state to biafra colony...trust the ibos, they will turn port harcourt to London...ibos are very wealthy and they sure need access to a sea port becos of their trading..
of course, they will also help themselves to the sweet crude oil...MEND & the Ogoni's will later beg to join biafran republic becos they have always felt cheated in the nigerian union,,even their leader Ken saro wiwa was killed by late Gen Abacha, and recently the Governor general of Izon Nation DSP Alamieseyiga was made to die to Buhari plan of justice,,even their son Goodluck Jonathan was scietifically rigged our of office...
My friend you have nothing to say. NO BODY IS CHEATING ON OUR PEOPLE CALLED BRAFRIA
DeleteEwuzurike, how many of your children or your family members are involved in this demonstrations. You value thier life more than that of the people in the streets And to those of you in the streets,wise up.
ReplyDeleteBLESS YOU BROTHER FOR THE SAKE OF THE TRUTH. THE PEOPLE CALLED THEM SELFS LEADER OF MASSOB THEIR CHILDREN LEAVES OUT SIDE COUNTRY?
DeleteHow many of tony Blair or George Bush children was sent to Iraq to fight war. Daft comment from a zoo citizen. Why must it be war war everytime you hear biafra? That is why whites call you animals
DeleteNa by force? Please allow Ibos to vamoose to Biafra so we can live in peace
ReplyDeleteThe Hausa knows the bubble will burst sooner of later, and their British cohorts are now helping them to find oil in lake chad...
ReplyDeleteMany countries have broken up by force or by dialogue. Read how the Americans fought for their independence. The Americans fought their British colonial masters using 'Areaboys'
ReplyDelete,freed slaves, Vigilantes, young boys and girls, apaches indians and they were called 'Patriots'.
The Patriots were are riotous bunch of untrained fighters who suffered heavy casualties in the hands of the well trained british soldiers...but they were determined to drive away the britons...AND THEY DID
Is it not posible to part in peace?, Why war.

@Anonymous 9:02am When u are talking ur Biafra please count Rivers State out and most especially the Ogonis u can use River Niger for seaport for ur information when u start that ur nonsense biafra war again be sure there will be abandon property in Rivers State again, u do not have seaport to do ur business and u are agiatating for a nation. Clean up the debris at Aba before talking of nation if Rivers State is ur hope then u have another thing coming. Sorry go be your name
ReplyDeleteIf biafra is formed you think ogonis and the rest will happily remain in Nigeria? Seriously? They will be speaking Boko in a year. And beg to leave nigeria also. Think well

Since Biafra was born and bury during and after Nigerian 30 month civill war and dead man can never live again . I propose we change the name of the igbo nation to " IGBOLAND " instead of using Belated "Biafra"
ReplyDeleteOjukwu said more than this when it was crunch time he abandoned his men by fleeing to another country to live a good life
ReplyDeleteBiafra is more than Ojukwu. Small mind.
DeleteNo chance...until their duly elected political leaders start agitating for Biafra nobody will listen to them. Who gave these people mandate? Which states make up Biafra? Any word from these states? Anybody that wants to die would just die in vain. The choice is yours...
ReplyDeleteIt is very surprising that Chief Ralph Uwazuruike is talking of Biafra today! Where were you when former President Jonathan was in power? Were you and your group thinking that he was there as the President of Biafra, or why didn't you talk then?
ReplyDeleteHow many of your children are on the streets demonstrating now? A good leader shows example for his subjects. Please, for the sake of Allah, stop deceiving these innocent people.
Better do it the right and civilized way by calling for a referendum or you will be DEAD. Let us see how many of your elites will sign. Good riddance.
