The Leader of Biafra Independent Movement
(BIM) Chief Raph Uwazuruike has said that
ethnicity and tribalism still dictate the affairs
of Nigeria indicating that the country is not
yet a nation.


Uwazuruike, who delivered an address titled:
‘Anti-graft war: Why Ethnic Sentiments Will
Always Frustrate Government’s Efforts,’ to
mark the end of 2015 BIM security meeting at
Mgbago, Umueri in Anambra East Local
Council yesterday, decried the level of
corruption ‘in high places of government’ and
regretted that “Nigeria is the only country in
the world where leadership offered political
leaders the best opportunity to steal public
funds and go scot-free”.


According to Uwazuruike, Nigerian politicians
are mere pretenders who are ready to die for
one Nigeria because of the opportunity the
country offers them to steal from public
coffers and “not because Nigeria holds any
bright future for their children and children’s
children.”


While predicting that Nigeria will continue to
have problems because of persistent failure of
her leaders to tell the masses the truth and
because none of the leaders sees himself as a
Nigerian first, he said: “Nigerians see
themselves as Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba, Igbo,
Kataf, Tivs, Ijaws. That is why the Yoruba
sentiment will always protect their own sons
who looted Nigerian treasury. That is also why
the Arewa sentiment will do the same for any
Hausa/Fulani leader who starched away
public money; and that is why the Igbo
sentiment viewed a call to probe any of their
own kinsmen who stole Nigerian money as a
witch-hunt.”


In a statement issued by the national deputy
director of Information for BIM, Mazi Chris
Mocha, Uwazuruike said Nigerian leaders
“are pretending that all is well with Nigeria
when indeed the country is burning” and
emphasised that, in Biafra, everything about
corruption would be eliminated.


According to him, “Nigerian leaders have
always pretended to have a nation, when
actually they have been fumbling and
wobbling since independence in 1960, and
recall that before independence we had
Sabongeri quarters in the North where non-
northerners, mostly people from Eastern
Nigeria lived. Also in the West, one could
easily see people of northern region in
isolated spots, insisting that forcing such
angry and desperate people who felt being
cheated to live together as one people is trying
to mix water and oil.


“That was why we had the pogrom and the
wickedness with which it was carried out.
“That was also reason why we had the July
29, 1966 coup with the hatred behind its ugly
execution and that was why we had the
Biafra – Nigeria civil war with the bitterness
with which the war was fought”.


He lamented that Eastern Nigerians had been
the most tragic victims of religious crises in
Nigeria and there is no end in sight just as
“they had been as our people had been
massacred in pogrom, felled in a coup,
decimated in a war even as our women had
been raped by lepers in the northern region
of Nigeria”.

One nigeria apologists, una papa left nyash

U mean even when u collected the popular envelope Nigeria is still not a nation

Uwazurike is a coward who survives by the crumbs that fell off the tables of his supposed captors.

With him, Biafra will take a plunge into the crust of the pestilential aqua with a terminus ad quem.

He's a hypocrite and hypocrite is Uwazurike.

Our Military have done done the job already by given us 36 states and the FCT. All that remains for us, fish-head bloody civilians, is for the NASS to amend the Constitution and give full Autonomy to each of the 36 states and keep FCT as a unifying factor with Powers for the Military, Central Reserves and External Relations. Give each state the rights to source for her fund, contribute uniformly to FG and apply the rest for her development. As for Homeland Security, each state will control herself but the FG will be responsible for solving interstate problems and keep a liaison in each state for that. It's this simple. The rest is playing Politics with the lives of Nigerians.
