Protagonists Of Biafra Not Invited To UN Or AU Meetings —uwazurike by ziccoit: 2:10pm On Nov 13, 2015 |
By Chidi On July 22, 2015. OWERRI—The leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, said that neither the United Nations nor the African Union, has invited the protagonists of Biafra to any of their meetings. Chief Uwazuruike, who debunked the rumour making the rounds in Igboland while fielding questions from newsmen in Owerri, also revealed that the two bodies said they only invite member nations. “I sent the Bill of Rights to the United Nations in 1999, when I started the struggle. Up till now, the United Nations, UN, and African Union, AU, have not invited Biafra as erroneously peddled by interest groups”, Uwazuruike said. The MASSOB leader advised Ndigbo to stop begging for survival in the Nigerian project, stressing that the Igbo fought the bitter war in self defence, when the decimation of their numbers reached alarming proportion. “Events have continued to show that Ndigbo are not wanted in Nigeria. Igbo should desist from being selfish and sycophants. We should think of the way forward for Ndigbo before personal interests”, Chief Uwazurike pleaded. Answering a question, the MASSOB leader said that the actualization of Biafra was certain, pointing out that revolutions take time but never fails. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/protagonists-of-biafra-not-invited-to-un-or-au-meetings-uwazurike/ Biafra: UN invites group to June meeting By Our Reporter on May 11, 2015 COVER ■ We’ll request recognition, says Dozie From DAVID ONWUCHEKWA, Nnewi Supreme Council of the Elders of Indigenous People of Biafra has received an invitation from the United Nations (UN) to attend one of its meetings in New York in June, the first invitation to such a meeting since the Biafran pressure group came into existence. Deputy Chairman of the organisation, Dr. Dozie Ikedife, disclosed this to Daily Sun in Nnewi at the weekend. He said a delegation of the pro- Biafrans would be leaving Nigeria for the June meeting as soon as the group raised logistics for the trip. Asked what request the group would make at the UN, he said: “We have no other request than the recognition of Biafra, recognition that we exist, recognition that we have the right to be given the opportunity for self-determination, that the Indigenous People of Biafra have the right for self-determination, which Nigeria should allow to take place.” He said in December 2014, the organisation sent a delegation to Nairobi, Kenya at the invitation of the African Union (AU) to attend its Economic, Social and Cultural Council meeting. Ikedife insisted that the group would continue to pursue its right for self-determination without breaching any municipal or international law. “The only setback, which can discourage us, is lack of money to finance the project. You know dissemination of information is not cheap. We have a radio station called Voice of Biafra. We also have difficulty in financing it because we think the people we are fighting for will appreciate the effort, but they have not bought into the idea of supporting the movement,” he said. He assured that the suit for self-determination filed by one of the arms of of the organisation, Billie Human Rights Initiative, against the Federal Government at the Federal High Court, Owerri, would soon continue now that judiciary workers had called off their strike http://sunnewsonline.com/new/biafra-un-invites-group-to-june-meeting/ Note:- It seems the handlers of Biafra struggle do not agree on a lot of issues as related to their supposed agitations. Each individual knows what he wants in Biafra. The only people in the deepest of the darkness are the gullible youths protesting under the scorching sun on empty stomach. Definitely, somebody is spinning lies here. 1 Like |
