Breakaway IPOB faction to burn Biafra flag on October 1
August 24, 2016 IJAY 0 Comment Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu


The Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra (TRIPOB), a breakaway group from the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by Nnamdi Kanu, has picked October 1, Nigeria’s Independence Day, to publicly denounce Biafra Republic and burn its flag.

According to Chima ‘Phillip Effiong’ Osuji, who released a statement on behalf of the group on Wednesday, CHIMA “PHILLIP EFFIONG” OSUJI, the decision was taken on Monday at the end of an emergency meeting of “disaffected” IPOB members.



TRIPOB said it now sees the Biafra question “from a different perspective”, as Biafra will now become “a powerful metaphor for change, development and greatness of the Igbos inside a united Nigeria”.

It said it had “accepted the fact that the Biafra Republic is not a reality but an anachronism”, and doubts that the south-south region will ever become a part of a Biafra Republic, except by force after a declaration of another civil war.

THE FULL STATEMENT

At an emergency meeting convened by some disaffected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday, August 22, 2016 in Aba, Abia state, it was resolved that due to the rigid and fatalistic position of the Nnamdi Kanu led IPOB, several of us with like minds shall breakaway and form The Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra or TRIPOB.

TRIPOB now sees the Biafra question from a different perspective. Biafra will now become to us a powerful metaphor for change, development and greatness of the Igbos inside a united Nigeria, where the South East axis will be a utopia from the sheer determination borne out of the Biafra metaphor.

We believe in being a part of a united Nigeria, and a new way of thinking, where the victim mentality will no longer be acceptable.

We have accepted the fact that the Biafra Republic is not a reality but an anachronism, and doubt that the South South region will become a part of a Biafra Republic, except by force; after a declaration of another civil war.

That the lessons and history of the civil war will only reinforce the belief in ourselves to reach the zenith in this great country, Nigeria, where opportunities abound for every one regardless of tribe or religion, and even where such narrow sentiments exists, we will not see ourselves as victims. Never!

In view of this new mindset, members of the TRIPOB and any new defectors will on October 1, 2016 make a public denunciation of a
Seccesionist Biafra Republic at the Eagle Square, Abuja. 

The event will also include recitation of the Pledge to Nigeria our Country, singing of the National anthem, followed by a solemn burning of the Biafra flag and unveiling a new Biafra flag representing pride, change, potential and spirit of the Igbo race which can thrive any where in the world.

Long live the Biafra Spirit! Igbo…Kwenu!!!

Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Say god?

Wahala dey naija...

Biafra is infiltrated.
KANU should take it with a pinch of salt.
Flat.heads are cowards.

They break away on 22nd. 2days later they denounce Biafra. Obviously they have been bought.
However I must admit that this new idea of Biafra striving to reach the zenith of their potentials within Nigeria is much more admirable.
But they don't have to go the extent of burning the Biafran flag on Nigerian Independence Day. Its not dignified.

yoruba muslim bonsurudeens swallowing amala with joy and throwing owambe for a clearly false propaganda. Who expects anything better from skulls like this?

This shows that this is handwork of Buhari and DSS.
Any group they find difficult to bring down, they form clone groups. RNDA comes to mind, now TRIPOB. Afonjas are busy celebrating what does not exist.
