Biafra receives knock as south-south
disown secession plans
By Editor - June 1, 2017



The clamour for the rebirth of
the defunct Biafra Republic
received another deadly blow
on Thursday as another ethnic
group has distanced itself from
the agitation.


The South-South Progressive
Coalition has therefore warned
the Indigenous People of Biafra and the Movement for
the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra
(MASSOB) to stop including the Niger Delta region in
their fraudulent activities.
This is coming barely 24 hours after the Idoma National
Forum also distanced itself from the claim by the
secessionist groups that the Idoma community was part
of the Biafra territory.


Adding its voice to the call for a one and united
Nigeria, the South-South Progressive Coalition on
Thursday said the ongoing call by few persons for the
resuscitation of Biafra was comical and worthless.
President-General of SSPC, Amuna Success said the
group has learnt on good authority that those funding
IPOB/MASSOB are highly placed politicians and
businessmen who have choice property and investment
in the same Nigeria they want to secede from.
According to him, “Much as we were alarmed that this
avenue for ventilating deep seated ethnic frustration
was being hijacked by desperate thugs, we continued to
maintain a measured silence because we thought it
unfair to stifle the spirit of our Ndigbo brothers even
when we were well aware from the onset of their
delusionary quest.


“Delusionary, because in the south-south we have seen
our share of how genuine agitation for improved quality
of life can be hijacked by common criminals, used to
threaten the country, and ultimately enrich themselves
both at the expense of the struggle and of the
populace.


“Our experience in this case include the collective
agitation for resource control, responsible attitude
towards the environment in the course of oil
exploration, and empowerment of the local population
to get employment in the industries that operate in the
fatherland. Today, all we have to show for the agitation
are the self-appointed militant generals and traditional
rulers who became rich from the blood the rest of us
shed in the hope of securing a better deal for our
homeland. If anything came of these struggles we do
not feel the benefit.”


SSPC said they even if the south-south should excise
itself from Nigeria today it would only, “amplify other
other differences whereby we then begin to thin as
Kalabari, Urhobo, Itshekiri, Ijaw, Ikwere, Anang, Efik and
the dozens other ethnic dematerialization we are
structured into.


“We are therefore alarmed that the Movement for the
Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB)
and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), not
satisfied with sabotaging their region’s economy and
punishing their own poor people, are drawing up maps
of their phantom Biafra Republic in which they included
the South-South. Nothing can be sicker than this. It is
delusion taken too far and one that must be addressed
immediately lest it graduates into madness.


The group leader added that the Niger Delta was never
part of Biafra before it became defunct, stressing that
the parts that were coerced into the failed project were
victim of occupation by Biafran militants.
“The defeat of that failed enterprise was possible with
the cooperation of the modern day south-south that
allowed federal troops safe passage. We want MASSOB
and IPOB to know that if anything has changed it is the
fact that the people of the south-south will not for one
minute entertain aligning with separatists against their
better judgment that shows a united Nigeria is the right
thing to pursue.


“Anyone that is banking on the resources of the Niger
Delta for a new country should have a rethink. Our
warning is that the Niger Delta people will not allow
anyone to steal their oil under the guise of secession
from Nigeria.


“The five Igbo states – Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu
and Imo – put together do not amount to half of the
landmass of the south-south; if these thugs have their
way there would be massive exodus into the region and
it would be a matter of time before they use their
cunning to come up with some contraption to
appropriate out land after hijacking our resources.
Under the current arrangement our right to our land is
not under threat. Why would we walk into a trap with
our eyes opened?


“Founder of MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike has
proven that the Biafra contraption is not above fraud
and is nothing but a scheme set up to line the pockets
of the movement’s leaders. This has proven by the sale
of fake Biafran passports to youths, some of who are
languishing in jail for immigration offences when they
tried using the false documents only to get arrested.
“We hereby warn the Biafra agitators to stay away from
the Niger Delta. They should desist from mentioning the
South-South whenever they are lying to themselves. Our
region is not going with them,” the group warned.

And people will lost sleep because of this group! Nigerians forget easily. Just fee months ago, a group occupied AI's Abuja office demanding they quit the country for reporting 'what they see' but when the pics of their leadership collecting pay from a politician, the group disappeared and till today never to surface.

They're too many sponsored groups in Nigeria including those whose merchandise are quite unsellable.

Says who? Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB are hell bent on grabbing the oil rich lands of the Niger Delta in addition to the fertile Benue middle belt for their Biafran republic. Are you more of an authority in Biafra than this Kanu charlatan?

My version of Biafra is Igbo only, indeginous Igbo people in anywhere across Nigeria which includes South South, South East and North Central.
Biafra starts fromm where Igboland starts and end at where Igboland ends.

I am not even addressing the above article, we all know the work of APC thugs, same peoples that wrote rubbish last week and called themselves South Easterns. Same hungry youths that requested Kanu should be arrested, same set of LIEPOD, THREEPOD, FOURPOD... We all know who they are!

See them disclaiming that non-igboid SS groups are not included in their maps. Lol

Nnamdi Kanu himself said on radio Biafra that Urhobo is Biafra and that Warri is biafraland. He said Ughelli, Warrior, Yenogoa, Calabar, Uyo etc are all biafraland and I heard it loud and clear. What's worse is their arrogance when we tell them we aren't biafrans.

They arrogantly insult and deride us for having an opposing view on Biafra and that is the sole reason why the SS will never join Biafra. They can only wish!

Nothing concerns me with PDP and for your information, I've been a pro Biafran before the creation of PDP and APC. However, PDP's does not have thugs who will wake on day and start talking nonsense about Biafra. If PDP organise hungry people to talk down Biafra I will lambast them. I am neither PDP nor APC.
Yes, I voted for GEJ because he's 100 times better than Daura bigot.
